A minha proposta neste texto é apresentar os procedimentos de leitura de álbum de postais que pertenceu a uma ítalo-brasileira, o qual contém cartões postais recebidos entre 1911 e 1942. Mostro que, além das imagens e dos textos que traz, esse álbum é acima de tudo uma construção da memória de si, no caso a memória de sua autora: Carolina Attanasio. Sua leitura permite ter acesso privilegiado à sensibilidade de um período, propiciando entender de forma mais aguda como se articula vida pessoal com acontecimentos mais gerais.

Machado de Assis (1839-1908) teve sua carreira marcada pela constante atividade de colaboração em periódicos, dentre os quais nos interessam particularmente O Futuro (18621863), o Jornal das Famílias (1863-1878) e A Estação (1879-1904). Por sua atuação constante e eficaz nesses veículos, o escritor foi considerado seu principal colaborador. As três revistas, por sua vez, marcaram sua presença no processo de formação de Machado: O Futuro presenciou o início da trajetória do escritor, e o Jornal das Famílias e A Estação, por seu longo período de circulação, ofereceram-lhe maior espaço para a prática e o aperfeiçoamento no gênero narrativo, principalmente na produção contos, essencial para a consagração de Machado de Assis no panorama da literatura brasileira. Assim sendo, é importante conhecer as principais características dessas revistas, uma vez que o perfil das publicações também devia ser levado em conta pelos escritores na produção de seus textos.

A fase compreendida pelos historiadores como fase de consolidação ou profissionalização da imprensa, início da República até a década de 30, corresponde a um período relevante da atuação do escritor Monteiro Lobato (1882-1948) como jornalista. O intuito de se abordar os artigos publicados no jornal O Estado de S. Paulo, periódico fundado em 1875 como baluarte das questões ideológicas republicanas, permite situar o início da produção de Lobato em 1913. O limite de 1930 justifica-se pelo momento histórico, ou seja, a transição de um país rural para um estado em franca urbanização com o advento da era Vargas. Como veículo fugaz, o jornal apresenta-se como oportunidade para se rever uma faceta menos literária do escritor. A observação do conjunto de textos produzidos como artigos para O Estado entre os anos de 1913 e 1923 revela um escritor em fina sintonia com o veículo do qual participava e ajudava a construir, fosse na esfera dos ideais, fosse no círculo das atividades exercidas dentro do jornal. Lobato é, com efeito, um jornalista participando ativamente dos ideais políticos e sociais de um grupo cuja influência extrapolava a tão autoproclamada neutralidade do jornal. Havia um projeto de país em boa parte comum a escritor e jornal, ou melhor, entre o publicista atento e o periódico bem sucedido. Uma velha praga, Urupês ou o quase não lembrado Entre duas crises são textos que, postos lado a lado e lidos na seqüência e freqüência que surgem em O Estado, compõem um mosaico esclarecedor da visão projetada por Lobato e por um grupo de intelectuais cuja ação pública, política, identifica-os como grupo do Estado

Background: Centromeres are essential for chromosome segregation, yet their DNA sequences evolve rapidly. In most animals and plants that have been studied, centromeres contain megabase-scale arrays of tandem repeats. Despite their importance, very little is known about the degree to which centromere tandem repeats share common properties between different species across different phyla. We used bioinformatic methods to identify high-copy tandem repeats from 282 species using publicly available genomic sequence and our own data.Results: Our methods are compatible with all current sequencing technologies. Long Pacific Biosciences sequence reads allowed us to find tandem repeat monomers up to 1,419 bp. We assumed that the most abundant tandem repeat is the centromere DNA, which was true for most species whose centromeres have been previously characterized, suggesting this is a general property of genomes. High-copy centromere tandem repeats were found in almost all animal and plant genomes, but repeat monomers were highly variable in sequence composition and length. Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis of sequence homology showed little evidence of sequence conservation beyond approximately 50 million years of divergence. We find that despite an overall lack of sequence conservation, centromere tandem repeats from diverse species showed similar modes of evolution.Conclusions: While centromere position in most eukaryotes is epigenetically determined, our results indicate that tandem repeats are highly prevalent at centromeres of both animal and plant genomes. This suggests a functional role for such repeats, perhaps in promoting concerted evolution of centromere DNA across chromosomes.

The manuscripts of Diarium Surinamicum by Daniel Rolander practically remained ignored and unpublished for over 240 years, till the recent publication of its translation into English, which occurred in 2008. In this, the names of species described and/or cited by Rolander were faithfully retained, hence preserving the indication of them without authorship, for the vast majority. In the present work, all the names of plants that were treated by Rolander in his journal, about 664, including by tradition the fungi and algae, are contextualised in relation to the authorship, reference to the publication of the protologue, pagination of citations/descriptions in the manuscripts and in the published translation, indication of probable misidentifications with possible alternative names, vernacular names, and related literature. Additionally, we searched for the vouchers collected by Rolander, scattered in several herbaria, which have been linked to the probable names and descriptions in the diary. Given the considerable time till the publication of these names, and by the lack of indication of their nomenclatural types in the English version, the great majority of the new species described by Rolander, which would have priority if published in due time, became invalid names according to the ICN. Nevertheless, the list of Rolandrian species here presented, from his work that has finally taken a place in the history of natural sciences, shows that he was also a competent botanist, besides being a skilled entomologist, having recognised and detailedly described many of the Surinamese plants hitherto unknown to science.

The helminth fauna of twenty-five Hypsiboas raniceps (Anura, Hylidae) specimens collected in the pantanal wetland, municipality of Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil was studied. Twenty (80%) specimens were parasitized with at least one helminth species. The helminth fauda is composed by the nematodes Oswaldocruzia mazzai, Cosmocerca podicipinus and Physalopteroides venancioi beyond the no identified species of the genus Rhabdias, Physaloptera and Raillietnema and the family Cosmocercidae. Cysts and larvae of nematodes were also found. Catadiscus propinquus and diplostomid metacercariae were the recovered trematodes

Perioperative fluid therapy remains a highly debated topic. Its purpose is to maintain or restore effective circulating blood volume during the immediate perioperative period. Maintaining effective circulating blood volume and pressure are key components of assuring adequate organ perfusion while avoiding the risks associated with either organ hypo- or hyperperfusion. Relative to perioperative fluid therapy, three inescapable conclusions exist: overhydration is bad, underhydration is bad, and what we assume about the fluid status of our patients may be incorrect. There is wide variability of practice, both between individuals and institutions. The aims of this paper are to clearly define the risks and benefits of fluid choices within the perioperative space, to describe current evidence-based methodologies for their administration, and ultimately to reduce the variability with which perioperative fluids are administered. Based on the abovementioned acknowledgements, a group of 72 researchers, well known within the field of fluid resuscitation, were invited, via email, to attend a meeting that was held in Chicago in 2011 to discuss perioperative fluid therapy. From the 72 invitees, 14 researchers representing 7 countries attended, and thus, the international Fluid Optimization Group (FOG) came into existence. These researches, working collaboratively, have reviewed the data from 162 different fluid resuscitation papers including both operative and intensive care unit populations. This manuscript is the result of 3 years of evidence-based, discussions, analysis, and synthesis of the currently known risks and benefits of individual fluids and the best methods for administering them. The results of this review paper provide an overview of the components of an effective perioperative fluid administration plan and address both the physiologic principles and outcomes of fluid administration. We recommend that both perioperative fluid choice and therapy be individualized. Patients should receive fluid therapy guided by predefined physiologic targets. Specifically, fluids should be administered when patients require augmentation of their perfusion and are also volume responsive. This paper provides a general approach to fluid therapy and practical recommendations.
