Chemical composition of the small coastal lagoons of the Mediterranean Spanish littoral

About sixty small water bodies (coastal lagoons, marshes, salt pans, channels, springs, etc.) of the Spanish Mediterranean coast were sampled seasonally for one year (1979-1980), in order to study different aspects of their chemical composition. The concentrations of major ions (alkalinity, Cl-, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, and K+), nutrients (N.NO-3, N.NO2-, TRP and Si), oxygen and pH were determined for this purpose. The salt concentrations measured range between 0.4 and 361.3 g l-1. The samples have been divided into four classes of salinity (in g l-1): Cl, S < 5; C2, 5 40. Within these classes, the pattern of ionic dominance recorded is remarkably constant and similar to that found in most coastal lagoons (Cl- > So42- > Alk., for the anions, and Na+ > Mg2+ > Ca2+ > K+, for the cations), although other models occur especially in the first class. The dominance of Na+ and Cl-, as well as the molar ratios Mg2+/Ca2+ and Cl- / SO42- ,clearly increase from class Cl to class C4. The hyperhaline waters include different subtypes of the major brine type"c",, of EUGSTER & HARDIE (1978), the Na+ - (Mg2+) - Cl- - (SO42-) being the most frequent. Nutrient concentrations fall within a wide range (N.NO3 from 0.1 to 1100 mg-at 1-1; PRT from 0.01 to 23.56 mg-at l-1 and Si from 1.0 to 502.0 mg-at l-1). The oxygen values are very variable too, ranging between 0 and 14.4 ml l-1. Four different patterns of nutrient distribution have been distinguished based on the mean concentrations of N.NO3-, and TRP (mean values in mg-at l-1): A, N.NO3- < 10, TRP > l ; B, N.NO3- > 100, TRP < 1; C, 10 < N.NO3- < 100, TRP < 1; C, D, N.NO3- < 10, TRP < 1. As a rule, lagoons of low salinity (C1 and C2 classes) display the nutrient pattern C, and lagoons of high salinity (C3 and C4) show the nutrient pattern D. Model A only appears in waters of very low salinity, whereas model B does not seem to be related to salinity.

Trilateral retinoblastoma: neuroimaging characteristics and value of routine brain screening on admission.

Trilateral retinoblastoma (TRb) is a rare disease associating intraocular retinoblastoma with intracranial primitive neuroectodermal tumor. Treatment is difficult and prognosis is poor. This multicenter study evaluates clinical findings and MR imaging characteristics of associated intracranial tumors in Rb patients. Clinical data of 17 patients (16 TRb and 1 quadrilateral Rb patients) included time intervals between Rb and TRb diagnosis and presence of baseline brain-imaging (BBI). Two reviewers reviewed all images individually and one reviewer per center evaluated their images. Consensus was reached during a joint scoring session. Studies were reviewed for tumor location, size and imaging characteristics (signal intensity (SI) on T1- and T2-weighted images, enhancement pattern and cystic appearance). Of 18 intracranial tumors, 78 % were located in the pineal gland and 22 % suprasellar. All tumors showed well-defined borders with mostly heterogenous enhancement (72 %) and isointense SI on T1- (78 %) and T2-weighted images (72 %) compared to gray matter. The majority of pineal TRbs showed a cystic component (57 %). TRb detected synchronously with the intraocular tumors on BBI (n = 7) were significantly smaller (P = 0.02), and mainly asymptomatic than TRb detected later on (n = 10). Overall, 5-year-survival of TRb patients detected on BBI was 67 % (95 % CI 29-100 %) compared to 11 % (95 % CI 0-32 %) for the group with delayed diagnosis. TRb mainly develops in the pineal gland and frequently presents with a cystic appearance that could be misinterpreted as benign pineal cysts. Routine BBI in all newly diagnosed Rb patients can detect TRb at a subclinical stage.

Diseño de un protocolo para el cambio de prolongador en Diálisis Peritoneal

El cambio de prolongador del equipo de Diálisis Peritoneal es una intervención competencia de la enfermería que debe ser cumplimentada siguiendo un protocolo que minimice el riesgo de contaminación y por tanto de la aparición de peritonitis. No existen recomendaciones claras y unánimes sobre cómo desinfectar las conexiones, ya que esto va a depender fundamentalmente de si el conector del catéter es de titanio o no y de cómo debe cebarse el nuevo prolongador. Objetivo: Conocer como se realiza el cambio de prolongador en las diferentes unidades nefrológicas del Estado con el fin de consensuar el procedimiento más adecuado. Material y método: Estudio descriptivo transversal realizado en febrero de 2008 a partir de un cuestionario estructurado y autocumplimentado de diseño propio del que garantizó su validez y fiabilidad. En la encuesta se recogió la experiencia de la persona encuestada en el campo de la DP, el sistema utilizado, y el cumplimiento de los ítems que se consideraron fundamentales para una buena praxis en el procedimiento del cambio de prolongador, basados en la literatura consultada y el las recomendaciones de los proveedores de los productos para DP. Resultados: Se obtuvieron 53 encuestas de enfermeras que manifestaron tener experiencia en DP entre 3 meses y 32 años. El grado de cumplimiento de las acciones necesarias para cambiar el prolongador (lavado de manos, preparación campo estéril, lavado del conector) fue entre un 95 y un 100%, mientras que los ítems desinfección de la conexión y drenaje de líquido peritoneal tras el cambio obtuvieron grados de cumplimentación entre un 28 y un 83%. Conclusiones: Nuestro estudio presenta limitaciones, ya que se trataba de hacer una prospección inicial sobre el tema, se debe profundizar en él y consensuar un protocolo válido de cambio de prolongador para cualquiera de los sistemas que ofrece la industria y definir muy claramente el proceso de desinfección del conector y la conveniencia o no de realizar un recambio peritoneal completo tras el cambio.

Qualidade da semente e senescência de genótipos de soja sob dois níveis de infestação de percevejos (Pentatomidae)

Este trabalho objetivou estudar a resistência de duas linhagens de soja, do programa de melhoramento do sabor da Universidade Federal de Viçosa, MG, cultivadas sob dois níveis de infestação de percevejos, em comparação com três cultivares de soja. Os genótipos estudados foram: CR-1, CR-3, Cristalina (linhagem paterna), Davis (padrão de suscetibilidade) e IAC-100 (padrão de resistência). CR-1, CR-3, Davis e Cristalina, sob baixa infestação, produziram porcentagens de sementes normais semelhantes entre si (57%), e inferiores às de IAC-100 (77%). Sob alta infestação, CR-1, CR-3 e Cristalina produziram percentagens de sementes normais semelhantes entre si (22%) e inferiores às de Davis (43%) e IAC-100 (59%). Todos os genótipos apresentaram baixo grau de retenção foliar (menos que 6%) quando cultivados sob baixa infestação, mas sob alta infestação, a CR-1 e IAC-100 apresentaram menores porcentagens de retenção foliar (menos que 5%), seguida por Davis e CR-3 (6-20%) e Cristalina (21-40%). CR-1, IAC-100 e Davis não apresentaram plantas com caule verde sob baixa infestação, ao contrário do que foi registrado com CR-3 (3,6%) e Cristalina (11%). IAC-100, CR-1 e Davis apresentaram menores porcentagens de plantas com caule verde (6,4, 10,3 e 18,3%, respectivamente) que CR-3 (64,8%) e Cristalina (77,3%).
