Modeling evapotranspiration (ET) using the surface energy balance approach and remote sensing data has been showing promising results, but the complex nature of heat and momentum transfers among land, plants, and atmosphere has imposed a challenge towards obtaining more accurate crop water consumptive use results. The project aims to improve estimates of crop ET by improving the estimation of sensible heat (H), the most critical component of the surface energy balance, through a combined application of remote sensing data and an aerodynamic temperature approach
Człowiek i medycyna w sztuce Margaret Edson "Dowcip"
No full textThe author analyses problems of disease, dying, and death addressed in a play by
Margaret Edson entitled Wit. Special attention is paid to the structure of meta-theatre
and the function of wit in the play. The author investigates limitations of reason in the
approach adopted by the doctors who take care of Vivian Bearing, and who subject
her to an excruciating experiment in order to achieve a potential research success.
She also discusses the protagonist’s attitude to literary works, dealing with her own
disease, to other people and to God. This offers an opportunity to ruminate on the
exact meaning of irretrievable loss involved in suffering. She also concentrates on
the attitude of the nurse who – thanks to her emotional intelligence and empathy –
accompanies Vivian on her way to death

Narrow band imaging versus chromoendoscopy with Lugols solution for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma detection
No full textPresente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a utilização da tecnologia de banda estreita com filtros ópticos (TBE) no rastreamento do carcinoma espinocelular do esôfago (CEC), utilizando como método comparativo a cromoscopia com a solução de Lugol. Trata-se de um estudo prospectivo de teste de diagnóstico, para o qual foram avaliados 129 pacientes do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo (HC-FMUSP), com diagnóstico de carcinoma epidermóide de cabeça e pescoço, em programa de rastreamento de tumores secundários, no período de agosto de 2006 a fevereiro de 2007. Os exames de endoscopia convencional, TBE e a cromoscopia com Lugol foram realizados consecutivamente em um mesmo procedimento, e as lesões encontradas foram registradas e submetidas a biópsias. Foram calculados para cada método valores da sensibilidade, especificidade, acurácia, valores preditivos positivos e negativos, valores de verossimilhança positivo e negativo. Foram diagnosticados nove carcinomas superficiais (7%), sendo cinco carcinomas in situ e quatro carcinomas intramucosos, todos detectados pelo TBE e pelo Lugol, porém apenas seis foram diagnosticados pelo exame convencional e destes, nenhum foi menor ou igual a 10 mm. A tecnologia de bandas estreitas com filtros ópticos (TBE) sem magnificação de imagem apresentou resultados superponíveis a cromoscopia com Lugol, método atualmente de escolha para rastreamento do CEC esofágico em grupos de pacientes de alto risco, portadores de tumores de cabeça e pescoçoBackground and study aims: The aim of this study was to compare narrow band imaging (NBI) without magnification and chromoendoscopy with Lugols solution for detecting superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in patients with head and neck cancer. Patients and methods: This is a prospective observational study of 129 patients with primary head and neck tumors consecutively referred to the Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Unit of Hospital das Clínicas, São Paulo University Medical School (FMUSP), Brazil, between August 2006 and February 2007. Conventional examinations, NBI and Lugol chromoendoscopy were consecutively performed, and the detected lesions were mapped, recorded and sent for biopsy. The results of the three methods were compared regarding sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, positive likelihood value and negative likelihood value. Results: Of the 129 patients, nine (7%) were diagnosed with carcinomas, five of which were in situ and four intramucosal. All carcinomas were detected through NBI and Lugol chromoendoscopy. Only six lesions were diagnosed by conventional examination, all of which were larger than 10 mm. Conclusions: Narrow-band imaging technology with optical filters has high sensitivity and high negative predictive value for detecting superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinomas and produces results comparable to those obtained with 2.0% Lugol chromoendoscopy in patients with head and neck cance
