Comparative anatomy of the tribe Nothopsini (Serpentes, Dipsadidae)
No full textSegundo Savitzky (1974) e Ferrarezzi (1994b), a tribo Nothopsini é composta pelos gêneros Diaphorolepis, Emmochliophis, Nothopsis, Synophise Xenopholis, contabilizando um total de doze espécies reconhecidas atualmente e distribuídas pelas Américas Central e do Sul. Embora hajam estudos especificamente dirigidos aos gêneros de Nothopsini, e outros que proporcionam hipóteses filogenéticas, as relações filogenéticas destes gêneros continuam alvo de debates, tendo os cinco gêneros de Nothopsini sido relacionados a diferentes grupos (Acrochordidae, Xenodontinae, Natricidae, Amastridinae, Dipsadinae e Xenodermatinae), por diferentes autores. Atualmente, os Nothopsini são definidos como gêneros incertae sedis dentro da subfamília Dipsadinae (Zaher, 1999). Com base no exame morfológico de material biológico e imagens ct-scan, neste trabalho foram comparadas a anatomia craniana, vertebral e hemipeniana das espécies Diaphorolepis wagneri, Nothopsis rugosus, Synophis bicolor, Amastridium veliferum, Chersodromus liebmanni, Ninia atrata, N. sebae, Xenopholis scalaris e X. undulatus. Objetivando posicionar os gêneros estudados num contexto mais amplo realizou-se uma análise filogenética preliminar com base na definição de 77 caracteres correspondentes à morfologia do complexo palatomaxilar, do suspensorium, mandíbula, dos ossos frontais, dos pós-orbitais, das vértebras e dos hemipênis das espécies estudadas de Nothopsini, além de 37 gêneros da família Dipsadidae, e usando Thamnophis elegans como grupo externo. Os resultados da anatomia comparada e da análise filogenética preliminar redefinem a tribo Nothopsini como formada pelos gêneros Diaphorolepis, Nothopsis e Synophis, posiciona o gênero Xenopholis na subfamília Dipsadinae e sugere uma relação próxima entre o gênero Xenopholis e os demais nothopsíneos. Já o gênero Emmochliophis é alocado dentro da subfamília Dipsadini, porém este posicionamento é visto com ressalvas até que mais análises sejam conduzidas. Ademais, são identificados dois padrões morfológicos, um compartilhado pelas espécies do gênero Ninia e Chersodromus liebmanni, e outro compartilhado entre Amastridium veliferum, Nothopsis rugosus, Diaphorolepis wagneri, Synophis e Xenopholis.The tribe Nothopsini is composed by 12 currently recognized species from the genera Diaphorolepis, Emmochliophis, Nothopsis, Synophis and Xenopholis (Savitzky, 1974; Ferrarezi, 1994b) that are distributed throughout Central and South America. Although several studies addressed the Nothopsini, their phylogenetic affinities are still unresolved, with several author presenting distinct phylogenetic hypotheses for the five genera of Nothopsini. Currently, the genera assigned to the tribe Nothopsini are considered as incertae sedis within the Dipsadinae (Zaher, 1999). The present study is based on a morphological examination of biological material and ct-scan imaging that aims to compare the cranial, vertebral and hemipenial anatomy of Diaphorolepis wagneri, Nothopsis rugosus, Synophis bicolor, Amastridium veliferum, Chersodromus liebmanni, Ninia atrata, N.sebae, Xenopholis scalaris e X.undulatus. A preliminary phylogenetic analysis was performed, based on 77 characters derived from the palatomaxillary and suspensorium complexes, mandible, frontal bones, post-orbital bones, vertebrae and hemipenes of the studied species of Nothopsini, 37 additional Dipsadidae genera, and Thamnophis elegans to root the analysis. The results achieved by the comparative anatomy and the phylogenetic analysis redefines the tribe Nothopsini as composed by the genera Diaphorolepis, Nothopsis e Synophis, places the genus Xenopholis within the subfamily Dipsadinae and suggests a close relationship between Xenopholis and the Nothopsini. The genus Emmochliophis is allocated within the Dipsadini, but this placement must be considered with some caution until a more thorough analysis can be performed. Moreover, two morphological patterns are identified within the group under study, one shared by the species of the genus Ninia and Chersodromus liebmanni, and another shared by the species Amastridium veliferum, Nothopsis rugosus, Diaphorolepis wagneri, and the genera Synophis and Xenopholis
Personalized medicine: a world of opportunities in skin diseases

medicine unfold as the next revolutionary healthcare
advance?
Traditionally, physicians initiate therapy with a standard
dose and observe how the patient responds. If necessary,
therapy is modified by ‘trial and error.’ Why drug therapy
fails in some patients or populations, and why some
patients experience serious side effects, was unclear.
Although it was suspected that genetics may be involved
in specific medication responses, research had identified
only a few genetic variations that are relevant.Corresponding author:

Resection of Brainstem Cavernous Malformations: Pearls and Pitfalls for Minimizing Complications.
No full textBACKGROUND: Surgical management of brainstem cavernous malformations (CMs) is a controversial topic in the field of neurosurgery. These lesions have a propensity to hemorrhage, thereby disrupting surrounding brainstem eloquence.
METHODS: This article provides the personal reflections of the senior author and a narrative literature review on resection of brainstem CMs.
RESULTS: Here we discuss the indications for microsurgery, microsurgical techniques and nuances, and perioperative management considerations necessary to minimize complications during resection of brainstem CMs, which are lesions of venous origin.
CONCLUSIONS: The natural history of the lesion, risk of future hemorrhage, and potential for symptom resolution should be carefully considered when planning to resect brainstem CMs. Nuanced microsurgical techniques with minimal disruption of normal tissues provide the best chance of satisfactory outcomes
Axial flux permanent magnet motor Csiro: New frame design, analysis, steady state model and comparison to radial flux permanent magnet motor Biel
No full textThis thesis work analyses, models and presents a new frame design for the Csiro electric drive for solar cars. The main objective is to determine whether Csiro motor (CM) is more efficient than the Biel motor (BM). To do that, performance tests were conducted and compared with both drives. Results showed that the CM is more efficient at low torques. The same results were used to derive and validate a steady state model for the CM. The Model is based on four major losses in the CM. Using the model it was possible to determine the areas where improvements were possible to boost the efficiency, to optimize the mechanical design and to calculate the losses and efficiency of the CM when subjected to some certain load.biomechanical designBioMechanical EngineeringMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin
