OBJETIVO: Avaliar a ocorrência e a correlação de tromboembolismo pulmonar (TEP) e trombose venosa profunda (TVP) por meio de um protocolo único de angiotomografia computadorizada. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo realizado de julho de 2003 a junho de 2004 no Hospital Copa D'Or, Rio de Janeiro, RJ. Foram analisadas 116 angiotomografias de pacientes com suspeita clínica de TEP. Após o estudo do tórax, com um intervalo de três minutos e sem injeção adicional de contraste, foram obtidos cortes do diafragma até os joelhos, a fim de pesquisar TVP. RESULTADOS: De 116 pacientes, 23 (19,8%) cursaram com TEP, 24 com TVP (20,7%), 15 (12,9%) apresentaram tanto TEP quanto TVP e 9 (7,8%) apresentaram TVP na ausência de TEP. Dos 23 casos positivos de TEP, 15 apresentaram concomitantemente TVP (65,2%), enquanto em 8 (34,8%) foi visto apenas TEP. Dos 24 casos positivos de TVP, 15 (62,5%) apresentaram TEP associado, enquanto em 9 (37,5%) foi encontrada TVP isolada. CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados demonstraram a forte relação entre TEP e TVP, a importância de pesquisar TVP nos casos com suspeita de TEP e a utilidade do uso combinado da angiotomografia de tórax e da venotomografia como alternativa de único exame de investigação de TEP e TVP simultaneamente.

A endometriose caracteriza-se pela presença de tecido endometrial funcionante heterotópico. Em pacientes com endometriose pélvica profunda pode haver acometimento dos ligamentos útero-sacros, reto, septo retovaginal, vagina ou bexiga. Os sintomas podem ser variados e incluem dor pélvica, dismenorréia, dispareunia, sintomas urinários e infertilidade. O padrão-ouro para o tratamento é a ressecção completa dessas lesões. Assim, é muito importante a avaliação pré-operatória dessas pacientes, sendo esta avaliação, em geral, limitada em relação aos dados clínicos e ultra-sonográficos. A ressonância magnética tem grande importância no diagnóstico da endometriose, principalmente por permitir a identificação das lesões de permeio a aderências e a avaliação da extensão das lesões subperitoneais. Neste estudo são ilustrados, na forma de ensaio iconográfico, os principais achados da endometriose pélvica profunda à ressonância magnética.

OBJETIVO: Comparar achados ultrassonográficos e de ressonância magnética na endometriose profunda, com ênfase para o comprometimento intestinal. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Dezoito pacientes entre 23 e 49 anos de idade, com suspeita clínica e exame ginecológico sugestivo de endometriose profunda, foram submetidas a ultrassonografia e ressonância magnética para correlação dos achados. RESULTADOS: A ultrassonografia detectou 40 lesões e a ressonância magnética detectou 53 lesões na pelve. O estudo comparativo entre ultrassonografia e ressonância magnética na detecção das lesões não mostrou diferença estatística significativa (p > 0,19 e p > 0,14, respectivamente). Considerando-se a junção retossigmoide, a ressonância magnética detectou uma lesão (5,6%) e a ultrassonografia apontou quatro lesões (22,2%). Nas lesões retais, a ultrassonografia apontou oito lesões (44,4%) e a ressonância magnética, sete lesões (38,9%). CONCLUSÃO: A concordância entre a ressonância magnética e a ultrassonografia não foi boa na junção retossigmoide e no reto, sendo que a ultrassonografia detectou um número maior de lesões nessas localizações, mas identificou número menor de lesões na pelve. Na análise comparativa global entre os dois métodos na detecção das lesões não houve diferença estatística significativa. O baixo custo, a boa tolerabilidade e o fácil acesso tornam a ultrassonografia instrumento diagnóstico valioso na endometriose profunda.

Hund's maximum multiplicity rule as stated in most elementary and intermediate level textbooks on general and inorganic chemistry and usually taught at the college and undergraduate level is incorrect. It is true that electrons entering a subshell of an atom tend to occupy the orbitals singly as far as possible but not necessarily with parallel spins. Also, proper definitions and correct use of terms like configuration, microstate, spectroscopic term, level and state are essential if confusion on the part of the student, especially the beginner, is to be avoided.

The layered double hydroxides, known as anionic clays and represented by the general formula [M2+1-x M3+x (OH) 2]x+ Am-x/m·nH 2O, are a group of materials which are of much interest currently. They present a variety of potential applications as adsorbents, catalysts and catalyst support, ion-exchangers, antacids and as a polymer stabilizer. It is possible to obtain a broad variety of layered double hydroxides (LDHs), depending on the identity and ratio of the cations M2+ and M3+, as well as the interlamelar anion. The aim of this review is to give out some information about this class of materials, concerning to the synthesis, characterization, properties and applications.

A computational interface, using sybyl format as an input file, was created in order to calculate connectivity indexes. After generation and classification of all substructures, which derive from the molecular structure, this interface calculates all possible orders from zero up to the maximun number of bonds in the molecule. Other topological indexes such as Wiener and Schultz indexes can also be calculated.

In this paper a general view about the modern molecular structure theory is developed discussing the ionized hydrogen molecule. We introduce some necessary approximation methods for the electronic and nuclear spectra study adopting a systematic approach. In addition though, we have performed calculations in order to illustrate these methods.

The determination of the molecular structure of molecules is of fundamental importance in chemistry. X-rays and electron diffraction methods constitute in important tools for the elucidation of the molecular structure of systems in the solid state and gas phase, respectively. The use of quantum mechanical molecular orbital ab initio methods offer an alternative for conformational analysis studies. Comparison between theoretical results and those obtained experimentally in the gas phase can make a significant contribution for an unambiguous determination of the geometrical parameters. In this article the determination of the molecular structure of the cyclooctane molecule by electron diffraction in the gas phase and ab initio calculations will be addressed, providing an example of a comparative analysis of theoretical and experimental predictions.

Platinum is widely used as electrode in electrocatalytic processes, however the use of polycrystalline electrodes introduces a series of variables in the electrochemical system due to the aleatory contribution of all the crystallographic orientations with different surface packing of atoms. Single crystal platinum electrodes of low Miller index present surface structure of high regularity and serve as model to establish a correlation among the macroscopic and microscopic properties of the electrochemical interface. Therefore, the main aim of this work is the study of the voltammetric profiles of the reversible adsorption-desorption of hydrogen on Pt(100), Pt(110) and Pt(111), in order to correlate the electrochemical properties of each different orientation with the surface atomic structure.

The comparative QSAR is a tool for validating any statistical model that seems to be reasonable in describing an interaction between a bioactive new chemical entity, BIONCE, and the biological system. In order to deeper the understanding of the relationships and the meaning of parameters within the model it is necessary some kind of lateral validation. This validation can be accomplished by chemical procedures using physicochemical organic reactions and by means of biological systems. In this paper we review some of such comparisons and also present a lateral validation between the same set of antimicrobial hydrazides acting against Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast and Escherichia coli bacterium cells. QSARs are presented to shed light in this important way of stating that the QSAR model is not the endpoint, but the beginning.

Biological nitrogen fixation, catalyzed by nitrogenases, contributes about half of the nitrogen needed to global agriculture. For forty years synthetic chemists and theoreticians have tried to understand and model the structure and function of this important metalloenzyme. Ten years after the first report on the crystal structure of the MoFe protein, scientists still have not been able to synthesize a chemical equivalent of the FeMo cofactor nor the structure knowledge revealed the key to its catalytic activity. This paper with 104 references presents a review of the most relevant advances in chemical nitrogen fixation and their relation with the nitrogenases.
