O progresso tecnológico atual requer modernizações na prática da catalogação para atender a complexas demandas dos usuários, sobretudo frente ao crescimento de documentos produzidos, organizados, armazenados e acessados em meio digital. Neste contexto, é criado o modelo conceitual do tipo entidade-relacionamento denominado FRBR - Requisitos funcionais registro bibliográfico, suas extensões, FRA...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of two different ventilation modes: Volume-Controlled Ventilation (VCV) with Lung Recruitment Maneuvers (LRM) vs. PressureControlled Ventilation (PCV) with LRM during One-Lung Ventilation (OLV) in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy. Methods: Position of Double-lumen endobronchial tube (DLT) was assessed by a fiberoptic...

To compare the effects of high-load, low-repetition maximum (LRM) and low-load, high-repetition maximum (HRM) resistance training regimens on muscular fitness in untrained adolescents. Forty-five untrained adolescents of both sexes (13.7±0.8 years; 161.3±7.5 cm, 56.8±13.4 kg) were randomly assigned into one of three groups: 1) LRM (n = 17): volunteers performed three sets of 4-6-repetition maxi...

OBJECTIVES Cutaneous angiosarcoma of head and neck (cAS-HN) is a malignant neoplasm with deficient data on prognostic factors. The aim of this study is to present our monocenter database on cAS-HN so far and a new predictive score for locoregional metastasis (LRM). METHODS Retrospectively, tumor characteristics and outcome of 103 consecutive patients with cAS-HN were analyzed. The main predic...

BACKGROUND Involvement of the lateral resection margin (LRM) has been shown to be a reliable predictor of local recurrence of rectal cancer. Accurate determination of the LRM status is crucial in selecting patients for postoperative radiotherapy. However, variability in processing factors may affect the measurement of the LRM. AIM To investigate how formalin fixation and laboratory processing...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Effective assessing the prognosis of patients with end-stage liver disease is always challenging. This study aimed to investigate the accuracy of different models in predicting short-term prognosis of patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated survival of a cohort of patients with a...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine prevalence and risk factors for latex hypersensitivity among health care workers (HCW) of an Italian general hospital. METHODS 1747 HCW of the Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico of Milan were asked to fill in a questionnaire regarding latex-related manifestations (LRM) and personal medical history, and latex-specific IgE were measured by RAST-Cap s...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Liver failure has high mortality. There are accurate but controversial models to determine mortality of patients with acute-on-chronic hepatitis B liver failure (ACHBLF). We developed a logistic regression model (LRM) and tested its ability to predict the 3-month mortality of patients with ACHBLF. METHODS The LRM was constructed using data from an internal cohort of 242 cons...

For most species, light represents the principal environmental signal for entraining the endogenous circadian clock. The zebrafish is a fascinating vertebrate model for studying this process since unlike mammals, direct exposure of most of its tissues to light leads to local clock entrainment. Importantly, light induces the expression of a set of genes including certain clock genes in most zebr...

Local rank modulation scheme was suggested recently for representing information in flash memories in order to overcome drawbacks of rank modulation. For 0 < s ≤ t ≤ n with s divides n, an (s, t, n)-LRM scheme is a local rank modulation scheme where the n cells are locally viewed cyclically through a sliding window of size t resulting in a sequence of small permutations which requires less comp...
