Valor de alguns exames complementares na Coréia de Sydenha by Aron J. Diament

“…The APSRs that showed the highest positive indexes in the confidence intervale, independently of any correlation, were: a)antistreptolysin-O (n = 43) was high in 60.46% (confidence interval (CI) = 45.86 to 75.06%)), when the normal limit was considered up to 250 units; considering the normal limit of up to 333 units, therefore considering high titers starting at 400 units, the percentage of positivity fell to about half of the previous value (37.2%); b) copper (n = 39) appeared as the most altered APSR in our casuistics, with 94.97% (CI = 81.0 to 98.0%) of high values; the ceruloplasmin (n = 40) kept pace with copper and was increased in 90.0% (CI = 80.7 to 99.3%; c) the serum proteinogram (n = 24) showed patterns similar to those of the RF, that is, decrease in albumin in 66.66% and increase in alpha-2-globulin fraction in 91.60% (CI = 30.00 to 70.00%) of the cases; a simultaneous alteration of these two fractions observed in 11 cases (45.83%, CI = 25.9 to 65.76%); gamma-globulin, opposing the initial acute rheumatic patterns showed itself to be quite high 83.33% (CI = 68.43 to 98.23%); d)magnesium (n = 38) decreased in 86.84% (CI = 76.09 to 97.59%), increased in 4 cases (10.52%, CI = 2.5 to 25.0%) and was normal in one case (2.64%,); e)sulphur (like SO4 ion) was increased in 71.79% of the cases (CI = 57.68 to 85.90%); f) the cerebrospinal fluid's proteinogram (n = 13) showed an increase of prealbumin in 6 cases (46.15%); g)the EEG, during the acute phase (n = 42) showed anormality in 45.24% of the cases (CI = 30.19 to 60.29%); part of these anormalities persisted up to the phase of remission, when from 34 EEG only 29.41% (CI = 14.11 to 44.71%) showed anormalities (10 cases); among these, two were "disorganization of the alpha rhythm", one of which normalized rapidly, another showed only asymmetry and may be considered normal; there remained then only 7 cases in the remission phase, with persistent anormalities, which however, are discussible as to their pathologic significance in the ones labeled as "slow for the age" and "paroxystic dysrhytmia by slow waves" in the occipital areas, in view of the age group to which they belong (4 to 11 years). …”

The relationship between mixed exposure to blood metal and serum neurofilament light chain levels in the general U.S. population: an unsupervised clustering approach by Jiyu Nie, Jiyu Nie, Lin Wen, Zhentian Lai, Zhentian Lai, Chuhang Lin, Chuhang Lin, Haiyin Li, Haiyin Li, Jing Zhang, Jing Zhang, Shen Xie, Shen Xie, Xiaosong Ben, Chunxia Jing, Chunxia Jing

“…Multivariate regression model, Bayesian kernel regression (BKMR) and quantile g-computation (QGC) were used to assess the relationship between individual and mixed metal exposure and sNfL.ResultsMultivariate regression revealed a significant positive association between blood cadmium concentrations and elevated sNfL levels in the overall population (β = 0.115, 95%CI: 0.039–0.190, p = 0.003). Through exposure pattern recognition using unsupervised k-medoids clustering, participants were stratified into distinct exposure subgroups: a high-exposure cluster (n = 326) and a low-exposure (n = 187) reference group. …”

Analysis of the Spatiotemporal Differentiation and Influencing Factors of Land Use Efficiency in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Urban Agglomeration by Haixin Huang, Jiageng Yang

“…The results show that (1) from 2005 to 2020, the ULUE of the BTH urban agglomeration had an initial rise followed by a decline; however, the overall efficiency score is above 1, suggesting an overall effective state; (2) a distribution pattern with Beijing as its core was established, exhibiting greater ULUE in the northern region and poorer efficiency in the southern region, with significant correlation characteristics in efficiency values between adjacent cities; and (3) capital input, labor input, social welfare, and ecological environment are all influencing factors that promote the improvement in ULUE in the BTH region, and the interaction of any two factors explains the ULUE in this region better than a single factor. …”

Path to Heritagization in Landscape Architecture: A Review of the Regeneration Design of Beijing Changchunyuan Park by Yufan ZHU

“…In this context, landscape planning and design essentially perform as heritagization mechanisms — a systematic process of transposing implicit cultural values into tangible spatial configurations. Taking the review of the regeneration design of Changchunyuan Park as a sample, this research employs a transdisciplinary approach that synthesizes historical geography, spatial semiotics and design anthropology to explore the mechanism for explicit transformation of implicit cultural value by the path to heritagization in landscape architecture. …”
