Postmortem measurement of human chorionic gonadotropin in vitreous humor and bile.

Postmortem human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) blood assay can confirm postmortem diagnosis of pregnancy or document situations in which HCG levels are elevated. In some cases, however, blood sampling is not possible at autopsy. In this study, HCG was quantified by enzyme-linked fluorescent assay (ELFA) in the bile (n = 5), vitreous humor (n = 4), and postmortem blood (n = 4) of five pregnant women. There were no false negatives in the pregnant subjects (n = 5) or false positives in controls (n = 34), enabling this test to be recommended for routine use in forensic contexts in which the detection of elevated HCG levels could be of interest.

El humor como trampantojo en el teatro de Miguel Mihura

Tras el humor de las comedias de Mihura hay una crítica a las normas que rigen la vida de las personas. Con el sutil juego literario, lleno de ingenio y humor, Miguel Mihura pone de manifiesto lo inamovibles que son los convencionalismos que condicionan nuestra existencia y en los que basamos a menudo nuestros juicios.

Humor en majúscules

Aquestes dies s'ha parlat molt de l'humor, en el context de la llibertat d'expressió i de si hauríem, o no, en democràcia, d'autoimposar-nos límits. Som l'única espècie que té sentit de l'humor, i l'utilitzem de forma habitual en les nostres interaccions socials. L'humor té un lloc especial al nostre cervell, i l'estudi del seu funcionament aporta dades que ens permeten aprofundir en el concepte més ampli d'humanitat.

Mediarte com Amor e Humor: uma Experiência a partir do Olhar dos Participantes

Trata-se de um relato e reflexão a respeito do Projeto MediArte com Amor e Humor, com base nas vivências e percepções das autoras/estudantes integrantes do projeto. O Projeto é uma atividade de extensão da UFRN envolvendo estudantes de medicina. Neste objetiva-se trabalhar a humanização por meio das virtudes humor e amor através de atividades lúdico-recreativas, nas dependências do Hospital de Pediatria da UFRN, envolvendo pacientes, acompanhantes e profissionais semelhantes às intervenções de palhaçoterapia. Busca-se, dentre outros aspectos, resgatar o sorriso e alegria das crianças doentes e promover o cuidado humanizado. Observa-se que a presente iniciativa conforma-se como uma estratégia de educar em saúde, onde teoria e práticas potencialmente interdisciplinares, humanizadoras e éticas são desenvolvidas, contribuindo para uma formação mais integral dos alunos de graduação, bem como uma iniciativa de humanização do cuidado no SUS.

Antioxidant status of dog aqueous humor after extracapsular lens extraction

We determined the antioxidant status of the aqueous humor after extracapsular lens extraction in 14 mongrel dogs weighing about 10 kg. The animals were examined by slit lamp biomicroscopy, applanation tonometry and indirect ophthalmoscopy. One eye was submitted to conventional extracapsular lens extraction and the other was used as control. Samples of aqueous humor were obtained by anterior chamber paracentesis before and at days 1, 2, 3, 7 and 15 after surgery. Total antioxidant status was determined as the capacity of aqueous humor to inhibit free radical generation by 2,2-azobis(2-amidopropane) chlorine. Ascorbic acid concentration was measured by HPLC with UV detection. Protein content was determined with the biuret reagent. Statistical analysis was performed by ANOVA followed by the Tukey-Kramer test. Protein concentration increased from 0.61 to 22 mg/ml 24 h after surgery. These levels were maintained and returned to normal at day 7. Total antioxidant capacity was reduced from 50 to about 30 min until day 3 and at day 7 it was equal to control. Ascorbic acid levels were reduced from 252 to about 110 µM and then returned to control values at day 15. Considering the importance of ascorbic acid concentration in aqueous humor for the maintenance of the antioxidant status of the anterior segment of the eye, the decrease of antioxidant defenses suggests that the surgical procedures promote an oxidative stress condition in the eye.
