Desempenho dos modelos CLIGEN, LARS-WG e PGECLIMA_R na simulação de séries diárias de temperatura máxima do ar para localidades do estado do Paraná

Este trabalho teve o objetivo de avaliar o desempenho dos modelos CLIGEN, LARS-WG e PGECLIMA_R na simulação de séries diárias de temperatura máxima do ar para localidades do Estado do Paraná. Foram utilizadas séries históricas de temperatura máxima do ar das localidades de Campo Mourão, Castro, Curitiba, Ivaí, Londrina, Maringá e Paranaguá. Foram geradas cinco séries de temperatura máxima do ar para cada modelo, nas localidades avaliadas, que foram confrontadas com as respectivas séries históricas. O processo de validação foi composto de análises estatísticas através de testes de significância (sobre as médias mensais (teste t), sobre a variância das médias mensais (teste F), sobre a forma das distribuições de frequência (teste K-S)), de gráficos de tendência anual, de tabelas com os índices "r" de Pearson, "d" de Willmott e “c” de Camargo-Sentelhas. Na simulação de temperatura máxima do ar, os modelos PGECLIMA_R e LARS-WG não diferiram em desempenho, obtendo poucas rejeições e bons resultados nos índices “c”, “d” e “r”. No entanto, o CLIGEN obteve resultado abaixo do esperado, superestimando as temperaturas máximas do ar em dias úmidos e, subestimando-as em dias secos, nas localidades avaliadas.

Avaliação do modelo HYDRUS-1D na simulação do transporte de água e potássio em colunas preenchidas com solos tropicais

A preocupação com o destino de produtos químicos e água, aplicados ao solo, tem motivado vários pesquisadores a desenvolverem e aplicarem modelos teóricos, a fim de descrever os processos físicos envolvidos no transporte desses produtos no perfil do solo. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo aplicar o modelo HYDRUS-1D, bem como avaliar sua performance, em simulações do deslocamento do potássio e água (umidade do solo), em colunas segmentadas, preenchidas com dois tipos de solos tropicais, em condições não saturadas (Latossolo Vermelho- - Amarelo e Nitossolo Vermelho). Os parâmetros de transporte do potássio foram obtidos por meio de curvas de distribuição de efluentes (Breakthrough Curves (BTC)). O desempenho do modelo foi avaliado com base nos seguintes parâmetros estatísticos: erro máximo, erro absoluto médio, raiz quadrada do erro médio normalizado, coeficiente de massa residual, coeficiente de determinação, eficiência e índice de concordância de Willmott. Diante dos resultados obtidos, pôde-se concluir que o modelo HYDRUS-1D foi eficiente nas simulações de deslocamento do potássio e da água, em relação aos dois materiais de solo estudados.

Histoplasmose como causa de perfuração intestinal em paciente com síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida

Thirty-four years old patient, female, husband died of AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Síndrome). She's confined to Hospital Universitário João de Barros Barreto, with a positive tesT for AIDS, fever, 10 kg/month of weight loss, diarrhea with gummy faeces, productive cough, yellowish sputum. The therapy was initiated, symptomatic, associated to Epivir, Saquinavir and AZT. The searching exams for Alcohol Ácid Resistant Bacili and fungi in the sputum were negative. At the hemogram was shown a pancytopenia, the esophagogastroduodenunscopy showed light esophago moniliasis. During commitment presented a perforating acute abdomen chart, the abdominal radiography showed hidroair levels, pneumoperitoneum, enlarced bowels with swollen wall. She was undertaken a surgery with diagnosis hypothesis of cytomegalovirus perforation, which accordin to literature is the most frequent cause of intestinal perforation in patients with AIDS.

Colecistectomia videolaparoscópica em paciente submetido a transplante cardíaco

Cardiac transplant has been performed with an increased frequency as the treatment for end-stage cardiac disease. Although cholelithiasis is more frequent in both pretransplant and posttransplant patients, no standard management approach exists. Pretransplant patients are well recognized for cardiac events, and posttransplant immunossupressed patients are at a considerable risk for septic complications. Because the first presentation of gallstones in this population is often acute cholecystitis, asymptomatic calculi cannot be considered benign and it seems reasonable to recommend pretransplant screening and posttransplant surveillance for gallstones. Prophylatic laparoscopic cholecistectomy should be undertaken in the stable patient to avoid the substantial mortality associated with postoperative acute cholecystitis and urgent cholecystectomy. In this case report we present a 44 year-old male with acute cholecystitis after cardiac transplantation who was submitted to a safe laparoscopic cholecystectomy one year and seven months later.

Incidentaloma gigante de adrenal em paciente jovem

Incidental adrenal tumors are lesions occasionally observed during abdominal US or CT scans. These tumors have been observed in patients without clinical or laboratorial signs of adrenal disease. The authors report a case of a 18 - years - old young man who was admitted to the Franco da Rocha Hospital, São Paulo, with abdominal pain and a palpated mass in the epigastrium which began one month ago. These findings were preceeded by a blunt trauma at the epigastrium three months earlier. First clinical hypothesis was of a traumatic pancreatic pseudocyst. However, investigation and laparotomy showed a large left adrenal solid mass, weighting 700 g. The mass was removed and histology was performed. There was no evidence of malignant neoplasm, then the diagnostic of incidental adenoma of adrenal was confirmed. The authors hope to stimulate surgeons for early detection of these lesions in order to prevent the complications and improve the prognosis.

Refluxo gastroesofágico no paciente encefalopata

We intend to discuss the main controversies involved in the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux and the necessity of a special method to feed severe neurologically impaired children, considering the implications of those circumstances in Brazilian families. Modern literature was reviewed, relating to diagnostic methodologies and their limitations, surgical methods, complications and resolution of the symptoms. There are controversies not yet solved about alimentary problems in the neurologically impaired children, specially concerning the presence of gastroesophageal reflux and respiratory disease. Familiar and social consequences of both primary neurological and secondary respiratory and nutricional disease are essential to consider. The incidence of gastroesophageal disease is extremely high in neurologically impaired children, with a high morbimortality and frequent respiratory manifestations. Surgical treatment offers high risks in case of associated complex congenital cardiac malformations. Alimentary gastrostomy and fundoplication offer good results concerning the incidence of respiratory problems and less hospitalizations for those patients.

Colecistectomia laparoscópica em um paciente com ducto cístico duplo

Our objective is to report a case of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient with duplicated cystic duct. A 34 year old male presented with episodic pain in the upper rigth quadrant of the abdomen. Murphy' s sign was not present. Ultrassonography showed gallbladder with multiple calculi and a thickened wall. At laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a duplicated cystic duct was found. Careful dissection and intraoperative cholangiography were performed to rule out common bile duct injury.

Correção de aneurisma de aorta abdominal em paciente com dois rins pélvicos

Abdominal aortic aneurysm reconstruction is usually performed in vascular surgical practice. However, the repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm associated with a pelvic kidney is rare. Our goal is to present a case report of an abdominal aortic aneurysm associated with two congenital pelvic kidneys wich was treated successfully by aneurysmectomy and inclusion of an aortoaortic graft.

Técnicas hemoterápicas em cirurgia renal percutânea em paciente testemunha de Jeová

Jehova's witeness patients deny to receive heterologous blood transfusion even under life risk. They also neither agree with auto transfusion when the their own blood is stored days or weeks before surgery procedures. Percutaneous renal surgery can have complications and, among them, intense hemorrhage that can demand for open surgery. The authors report a case of a 32 year old patient with complete coralliform lithiasis in the right kidney who was submitted to percutaneous renal surgery with removing 400 ml of total blood accompanied subsequently of hemodilution and blood reinfusion by the end of the procedure. A Compact Advanced from Dideco, an italian company, was used for blood recovering during surgery and reinfusing it after the filtration process, centrifugation and washing of red globules. In this particular, the authors describe a technical adaption for blood collection. Both procedures are accepted by Jehova's witness patients, once that the blood is not stored and there is contact with your veined system. This article aim to show a blood capture technical variant in the percutaneous renal surgery, as well as to present a method in similar procedures, once that is not used routinely in urological surgeries.

Leiomioma hepático em paciente imunocompetente

Diagnosis and treatment of hepatic tumors are a challenge for the surgeon in some situations. There are many histologic types of these neoplasms, and their diagnoses are increasing. Leyomioma of the liver is a rare pathology that is presented in this article in a 44 years old woman without immunosuppression. A review about its clinical aspects, image diagnosis and surgical therapy is discussed, based on the world medical literature.

Utilização da jejunostomia para extração endoscópica de Ascaris lumbricoides da via biliar principal em paciente com doença de Caroli

Grumbach-Auvert disease represents a type of Obstructive Disease of the Intrahepatic Biliary Tree. We presents a case report of a patient with hepatic abscess caused by Ascaris which ascended into hepatic parenquima through hepaticojejunostomy, resolved by endoscopic extraction of it after the jejunostomy of permanent access was opened.

Derivação gastrojejunal com anel de contenção no tratamento de obesidade mórbida em paciente com situs inversus totalis

The gastric bypass is a good option in the therapy of morbid obesity. Nevertheless, it must be considered the rare condition as occurred in a patient with previous abdominal surgery with Situs Inversus Totalis. A 24 year-old male patient with body mass index of 40 Kg/ m², multiple dietary failures, and arterial hypertension as co-morbidities, with a anterior paramedial right incision due to a previous appendicectomy (8 years ago).With a indication for bariatric surgery, was performed Roux-en-Y gastric bypass by laparoscopic procedure, with previous planning of Situs Inversus Totalis.

Alterações no Sistema de Fibras Elásticas da Fáscia Endopélvica de Paciente Jovem com Prolapso Uterino

É apresentado um caso de prolapso do útero de 2º grau em paciente de 18 anos, virgem. Durante o ato cirúrgico corretivo (cirurgia de Gillian) foram recolhidas amostras dos ligamentos e fáscias para avaliação do sistema de fibras elásticas. Foram demonstradas alterações estruturais nas fibras elásticas semelhantes às que ocorrem no envelhecimento, o que promove o enfraquecimento do tecido conjuntivo induzindo ao defeito de suporte do assoalho pélvico.

Tumor de Brenner Benigno e Maligno na mesma Paciente: Relato de Caso

Na grande maioria das vezes, o tumor de Brenner é pequeno, unilateral e benigno. Seu diagnóstico só pode ser confirmado após o exame anatomopatológico, que microscopicamente apresenta ninhos ou colunas de células epiteliais de transição numa matriz fibromatosa. As células epiteliais apresentam sulco longitudinal característico de "grão de café" e podem apresentar transformação carcinomatosa. É descrito o caso de paciente menopausada com sangramento vaginal, com massa abdominal palpável, submetida a tratamento cirúrgico, com diagnóstico histopatológico de tumor de Brenner bilateral, sendo maligno de um lado e benigno do outro. Atualmente está com 3 anos de sobrevida, sem sinais de recorrência da doença após tratamento cirúrgico exclusivo.
