Anthropometry of the Breast Region: How to Measure?

Breast region measurements are important for research, but they may also become significant in the legal field as a quantitative tool for preoperative and postoperative evaluation. Direct anthropometric measurements can be taken in clinical practice. the aim of this study was to compare direct breast anthropometric measurements taken with a tape measure and a compass.Forty women, aged 18-60 years, were evaluated. They had 14 anatomical landmarks marked on the breast region and arms. the union of these points formed eight linear segments and one angle for each side of the body. the volunteers were evaluated by direct anthropometry in a standardized way, using a tape measure and a compass.Differences were found between the tape measure and the compass measurements for all segments analyzed (p > 0.05).Measurements obtained by tape measure and compass are not identical. Therefore, once the measurement tool is chosen, it should be used for the pre- and postoperative measurements in a standardized way.This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article. for a full description of these Evidence-Based Medicine ratings, please refer to the Table of Contents or the online Instructions to Authors www.springer.com/00266.

Low-level laser therapy and light-emitting diode effects in the secretion of neuropeptides SP and CGRP in rat skin

The phototherapy effects in the skin are related to biomodulation, usually to accelerate wound healing. However, there is no direct proof of the interrelation between the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and light-emitting diode (LED) in neuropeptide secretion, these substances being prematurely involved in the neurogenic inflammation phase of wound healing. This study therefore focused on investigating LLLT and LED in Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P (SP) secretion in healthy rat skin. Forty rats were randomly distributed into five groups with eight rats each: Control Group, Blue LED Group (470 nm, 350 mW power), Red LED Group (660 nm, 350 mW power), Red Laser Group (660 nm, 100 mW power), and Infrared Laser Group (808 nm, 100 mW power) (DMCA (R) Equipamentos Ltda., So Carlos, So Paulo, Brazil). the skin of the animals in the experimental groups was irradiated using the punctual contact technique, with a total energy of 40 J, single dose, standardized at one point in the dorsal region. After 14 min of irradiation, the skin samples were collected for CGRP and SP quantification using western blot analysis. SP was released in Infrared Laser Group (p = 0.01); there was no difference in the CGRP secretion among groups. Infrared (808 nm) LLLT enhances neuropeptide SP secretion in healthy rat skin.

Reaction time and replenishment time of SP and CGRP after incision in rat skin

Background. the skin neurogenic inflammation is mainly related to Substance P (SP) and Calcitonin Gene-related Peptide (CGRP). There is no data on their availability in the dynamics of skin nerve endings, concerning their release and replenishment after a nociceptive stimulus, so this was investigated. Materials and methods. 25 rats were randomly distributed in 5 groups. the animals of the control group (CG) determined the baseline levels of neuropeptides in the skin. the groups S0 and S30 did not receive any cutaneous stimulus at 30 and 60 minutes, respectively. in the group S1, an incision stimulus was made at 30 minutes. in the group S31, a nociceptive stimulus was performed by subdermal scratching at 30 minutes and, at 60 minutes, the incision stimulus was carried out in the same location (nociceptive hyperstimulation). the skin samples of the other animals were harvested from the back 1 minute after their death. SP, pro-CGRP and CGRP were quantified by Western Blotting. Results. the incision stimulus released SP, S1 compared to S0 (p < 0.05) detected in the first minute, and the replenishment time was more than 30 minutes. Also, it cleaved pro-CGRP, S1 compared to S31 (p < 0.05) in the first minute, and its replenishment time less than 30 minutes. Release of CGRP was not detected. Conclusion. the incision released SP already detected in the first minute; its replenishment time is more than 30 minutes. the incision decreased pro-CGRP, also detected in the first minute; and its replenishment time is less than 30 minutes.

Sexual dimorphism in canine length of woolly spider monkeys (Brachyteles arachnoides, E. Geoffroy 1806)

We measured canine teeth from 28 woolly spider monkeys (Brachyteles arachnoides) to assess sexual dimorphism and population differences. The specimens are from the Brazilian states of Bahia, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo. We found strong sexual dimorphism in canine length for individuals belonging to populations south of 22°00′ latitude but no sexual dimorphism in canine length from individuals of populations north of 21°00′ latitude. Canine length did not vary among females of northern and southern populations. However, southern males had significantly longer canines than northern males. This geographical difference in canine morphology, together with the presence or absence of thumbs and published accounts of differences in genetics and social structure between northern and southern populations, suggests that Brachyteles arachnoides may be composed of at least two subspecies, which appear to be separated by the rivers Grande and Paraiba do Sul and the Serra da Mantiqueira. © 1993 Plenum Publishing Corporation.

Nomenclature and syntaxonomic notes on some high-rank syntaxa of the European grassland vegetation

We present descriptions of a new order (Ranunculo cortusifolii-Geranietalia reuteri and of a new alliance (Stachyo lusitanicae-Cheirolophion sempervirentis) for the herbaceous fringe communities of Macaronesia and of the southwestern Iberian Peninsula, respectively. A new alliance, the Polygalo mediterraneae-Bromion erecti (mesophilous post-cultural grasslands), was introduced for the Peninsular Italy. We further validate and typify the Armerietalia rumelicae (perennial grasslands supported by nutrient-poor on siliceous bedrocks at altitudes characterized by the submediterranean climate of central-southern Balkan Peninsula), the Securigero-Dasypyrion villosae (lawn and fallow-land tall-grass annual vegetation of Italy), and the Cirsio vallis-demoni-Nardion (acidophilous grasslands on siliceous substrates of the Southern Italy). Nomenclatural issues (validity, legitimacy, synonymy, formal corrections) have been discussed and clarified for the following names: Brachypodio-Brometalia, Bromo pannonici-Festucion csikhegyensis, Corynephoro-Plantaginion radicatae, Heleochloion, Hieracio-Plantaginion radicatae, Nardetea strictae, Nardetalia strictae, Nardo-Callunetea, Nardo-Galion saxatilis, Oligo-Bromion, Paspalo-Heleochloetalia, Plantagini-Corynephorion and Scorzoneret alia villosae. 

Relação homem e atmosfera sob a objectiva de novas tecnologias

Os métodos volumétricos de recolha de amostras de ar constituem os métodos dominantes atualmente para a monitorização de aeroalergenos, sendo a metodologia “Hírst” a dominante para a monitorização do pólen atmosférico. Recentemente têm surgido alguns avanços metodológicos nesta área combinando tecnologias bioquímicas e imunológicas pelo que se empreendeu este estudo a fim de comparar uma tecnologia “Ciclone”, desenvolvida no âmbito de um projeto europeu do programa LIFE (LIFE05 ENV/F/000068), com o referido método padrão quanto à eficiência de captação do pólen atmosférico e à deteção de aeroalergenos polínicos. Métodos: Foram efetuadas amostragens do conteúdo polínico atmosférico dos períodos de polinização dos anos 2006 e 2007 mediante um coletor tipo “Hirst” (Burkard® Seven Day Recording Volumetric Spore Trap®) e um coletor tipo “Ciclone” (AeoluS®, Coriolis ® da Bertin Technologies), colocados lado a lado. Foram instalados sobre uma plataforma meteorológica situada no centro da cidade de Évora, 17m acima do nível do solo. As amostras foram analisadas de acordo com os protocolos estabelecidos para cada método. De forma complementar foi realizada uma correlação dos dados obtidos com os registos de inquéritos sintomatológicos efetuados por voluntários das consultas externas de Imunoalergologia do hospital do Espírito Santo em Évora. Todos aqueles que apresentaram queixas respiratórias durante 0 período primaveril efetuaram testes cutâneos em “Prick” modificado aos aeroalergenos mais frequentes na região, a fim de se determinar o respetivo Perl de sensibilidades. Resultados: Esperou-se com este estudo testar a eficácia de uma nova metodologia para deteção e análise de bioaerossóis, comparativamente com a metodologia padrão e com a sua relação sintomatologia atópica respiratória. /ABSTRACT - Nowadays volumetric methods for bioaerosols sampling constitute the main methods to monitor the aeroallergens whereas “Hirst" methodology is the most dominant method to monitor airborne pollen. Recently some methodological advances have been introduced in this area matching biochemical and immunological technologies and so a study was accomplished in order to compare a "Cyclone” technology, developed under the scope of a European project - the LFE program -, with the mentioned standard method in terms of efficiency of airborne pollen sampling and detection of aeroallergens. Methods: Air samples from the outdoor environment were collected during the pollination period, along the year 2006 and 2007 with a "Hirst"-t3pe collector (Burkard® Seven Day Recording Volumetric Spore Trap®) and a "Cyclone"-type collector (Aeolus®, Coriolis® Bertin Technologies), placed side by side. They were installed on a meteorological platform situated at the center of Évora, 17m above ground level. Samples were analyzed according to the established protocols by each method. In a complementary way a data correlation was done between the symptomatologic inquiries fiom volunteers of the Immunoallergology external consultations at the Hospital Espírito Santo, in Évora. Everyone declaring breathing complaints during the spring season had done modified skin 'Trick" tests to the most usual aeroallergens of the region Results: It is waited from this study to test the efficiency of a new methodology for detection and analysis of bioaerossols, comparatively with the standard methodology and and its relation with the atopic simptomatologic breathing

Du roman au théâtre: adaptations théâtrales dans la dramaturgie franco-portugaise au XIXe siècle

L’adaptation de romans à la scène au XIXe siècle dans la dramaturgie franco-portugaise passe par l’étude des relations et des contaminations intergénériques et interculturelles qui s’établissent entre les genres romanesque et dramatique dans les deux cultures. Pour ce faire, nous nous sommes consacrés dans une première partie aux questions théoriques qu’un tel exercice soulève. Effectivement, nous ne pourrions pas prétendre étudier et cerner un tel phénomène littéraire et artistique sans un abordage pluridimensionnel qui nous mène vers son approche à la lumière des études de Traduction et de Réception, d’un côté et, de l’autre, des études sociologiques. Questionner les fondements théoriques de l’adaptation théâtrale, sa production et sa circulation dans les deux pays supposait, pour nous, dès le départ, délimiter non seulement l’horizon d’attente d’une telle pratique artistique mais aussi sa place et son impact dans le champ littéraire et le polysystème culturel de l’époque. En contrepoint, nous nous sommes ensuite intéressés à la question de l’adaptation théâtrale et des contact zones, cette fois en passant par la problématique de la transculturation qu’engendre le contact de deux littératures différentes, s’affrontant dans le champ culturel et littéraire d’arrivée. Dans une deuxième partie, nous nous sommes concentrés sur la contextualisation historico-générique de l’adaptation théâtrale. Le recours à la transposition scénique de romans révèle un désir de gloire au niveau financier et artistique. La pratique est courante, voire généralisée dans le champ littéraire français du XIXe siècle. Parmi les adeptes de l’exercice de transposition, Dumas père est certainement l’auteur le plus prolifique. En outre, la transmodalisation générique s’insère dans un mouvement de création collective, puisque la collaboration entre auteurs dramatiques est très répandue. Par la suite, nous nous sommes intéressés à la genèse des textes à travers la transmodalisation du roman au théâtre : du roman-feuilleton au roman naturaliste. Nous avons constaté que le genre romanesque comme le genre dramatique sont empreints de contaminations intergénériques qui passent par la théâtralisation du roman puis par la romanisation du théâtre. Ainsi, l’adaptation apparaît comme la concrétisation de la fusion des genres romanesque et dramatique qui donnent lieu à un genre hybride. L’adaptation est alors le résultat d’une série de procédés et de techniques : la transmodalisation du roman s’adapte aux nécessités génériques du théâtre. De la sorte, nous avons distingué cinq types d’adaptations : l’adaptation fidèle, l’adaptation partielle, l’adaptation libre, l’adaptation pastichée et l’adaptation de l’adaptation. Dans une troisième partie, nous avons abordé le phénomène de l’adaptation dans le contexte littéraire portugais au XIXe siècle. À travers la présence accrue du théâtre français sur les scènes lisboètes, nous avons observé les rouages de la transposition d’un modèle étranger qui peut passer par différents processus, comme la traduction ou l’appropriation par l’adaptation théâtrale. Cela nous a amené à présenter cinq modèles d’adaptations théâtrales issues d’hypotextes français : l’adaptation française, la traduction fidèle de l’adaptation française, la traduction libre de l’adaptation française, l’adaptation à la couleur locale de l’adaptation française et l’adaptation portugaise d’un roman français. Nous avons également présenté quelques exemples de cas concrets, notamment Le Comte de Monte-Cristo adapté au répertoire lisboète. L’étude de ce phénomène culturel nous a permis de mieux cerner son impact sur le champ théâtral lisboète du XIXe siècle, dans la mesure où il contribue à la transculturation de la dramaturgie portugaise de l’époque.
