Escanometria dos membros inferiores: revisitando Dr. Juan Farill

A escanometria pelo "método de Farill" é exame rotineiro na maioria dos serviços radiológicos. Ela permanece, há mais de meio século, como um método amplamente utilizado para diagnóstico da diferença entre os membros inferiores e seu respectivo tratamento pelos especialistas de diversas áreas. Contudo, detalhes na técnica do exame e na avaliação das medidas costumam ser ignorados ou negligenciados, comprometendo o resultado final. Este trabalho tem por objetivo divulgar os detalhes preconizados pelo autor, restaurando a precisão do método, bem como discuti-lo em relação aos demais métodos.

El Texto literario en el aula de español como lengua extranjera: Propuesta de programación didáctica: Últimas tardes con Teresa, de Juan Marsé

El treball aprofundeix en la importància dels textos literaris originals en les classes d’ELE (Espanyol com a Llengua Estrangera). S’estudien les principals línies de pensament sobre l’ensenyament de la literatura a l’aula d’ELE, i l’evolució de l’ensenyament. Es defensa que mitjançant l’ús de textos literaris originals els estudiants poden percebre una mostra de la diversitat expressiva de la llengua

Further insights in trichothiodistrophy: a clinical, microscopic, and ultrastructural study of 20 cases and literature review

Background: Trichothiodistrophy (TTD) is a rare autosomal recessive condition that is characterized by a specific congenital hair shaft dysplasia caused by deficiency of sulfur associated with a wide spectrum of multisystem abnormalities. In this article, we study clinical, microscopic, and ultrastructural findings of 20 patients with TTD with the aim to add further insights regarding to this rare condition. Additionally, analyses of our results are compared with those extracted from the literature in order to enhance its comprehensibility. Materials and Methods: Twenty cases of TTD were included: 7 from Mexico and 14 from Spain. Clinical, microscopic, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies and X-ray microanalysis (XrMa) were carried out in all of them. Genetic studies were performed in all seven Mexican cases. Patients with xeroderma pigmentosum and xeroderma pigmentosum/TTD-complex were excluded. Results: Cuticular changes and longitudinal crests of the hair shaft were demonstrated. These crests were irregular, disorganized, following the hair longest axis. Hair shaft sulfur deficiency was disposed discontinuously and intermittently rather than uniformly. This severe decrease of sulfur contents was located close to the trichoschisis areas. Only five patients did not show related disturbances. Micro-dolichocephaly was observed in five cases and represented the most frequent facial dysmorphism found. It is also remarkable that all patients with urologic malformations also combined diverse neurologic disorders. Moreover, three Mexican sisters demonstrated the coexistence of scarce pubic vellus hair, developmental delay, onychodystrophy, and maxillar/mandibullar hypoplasia. Conclusions: TTD phenotype has greatly varied from very subtle forms to severe alterations such as neurologic abnormalities, blindness, lamellar ichthyosis and gonadal malformations. Herein, a multisystem study should be performed mandatorily in patients diagnosed with TTD.

Maria Josepa Arnall i Juan, in memoriam

This article reviews the life and career of Dr. Maria Josepa Arnall i Juan (1948-2002), head professor of Historiographic Science and Techniques at the University of Barcelona. Dr. Arnall was distinguished both on a personal and professional level. She performed a magnificent task as a researcher and teacher, and possessed a great work ethic, as evidenced by her rich and rigorous scientific output, described in the article. She played an active role in collaboration with the Archivists Association of Catalonia helping to train Catalan archivists. The memory of her as a person and a professional, as well as her important and valuable work, remain as her legacy

Chumbo e cádmio detectados em alimentos vegetais e gramíneas no município de Santo Amaro-Bahia

This study evaluated the level of the metals Pb mg kg-1 and Cd mg kg-1 found in plant species and the contribution of the levels detected in contaminated soils located in the urban area of the city of Santo Amaro, Bahia. Levels were determined by graphite furnace and flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The results showed the presence of Pb and Cd in plant species at levels ranging from 0.18 to 118.2 mg kg-1 and 0.04 to 7.29 mg kg-1, respectively. The concentration values obtained varied according to the plant species and were not strongly influenced by the concentration values detected in the soil.
