    Abstract Intraductal radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been used in the management of malignant biliary obstruction and ampullary neoplasms. Some small studies refer to its role in managing benign biliary strictures with some promising results. The complications are not neglectable, namely cholangitis, pancreatitis, bleeding, and perforation, although most of them can be managed conservatively. There are two catheters available. Only the ERLA (EndoLumunal Radiofrequency Ablation, Taewoong Medical) catheter can control temperature and impedance, allowing it to reduce the risk of complications.

    Abstract Background: Despite the potential advantages of patients' self-recordings of bowel habits in lower digestive disorders, few studies evaluate the relevance of clinical information obtained through bowel diaries in clinical practice.
    Objective: The main objective of this study was to evaluate the role of bowel diaries as an auxiliary diagnostic tool in lower gastrointestinal disorders consultations.
    Methods: In this cross-sectional study, at the end of their gastroenterology consultation, patients were questioned about their bowel habits and gastrointestinal symptoms. The bowel diary was then filled by the patients at home for 2 weeks. The data collected from the clinical interview and from the bowel diaries were analyzed.
    Results: Fifty-three patients participated in the study. Patients underestimated the number of their bowel movements (BM) in the interviews compared with the bowel diaries (P=0.007). There was a poor agreement between stool consistencies described in the interviews and recorded in the diaries (k=0.281). Patients overestimated their straining during evacuation in the interviews compared with the diaries (P=0.012). Regarding the subgroups' analysis, patients with proctological disorders described less BM in their interviews (P=0.033). Straining during evacuation was higher in the interviews of patients without proctological disorders (P=0.028) and in the interviews of more educated patients (P=0.028).
    Conclusion: Overall, there were discrepancies between the clinical interview and the bowel diary regarding the number of BM, the stool consistency and straining. Bowel diaries are therefore a relevant instrument as a complement to the clinical interview to objectify patients' complaints and treat functional gastrointestinal disorders more adequately.

    Abstract A 39-year-old female was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease unclassified (IBD-U) in 2011, during the post-partum period, after developing chronic bloody diarrhea and marked weight loss. She underwent colonoscopy showing erosive ileitis and pancolitis. Biopsies were compatible with unspecified chronic ileocolitis.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the presence of sleep disorders, obesity and anxiety associated with cavitated carious lesions in children aged 8 to 10 years.
    Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in the Northeast of Brazil. The sample was comprised of 793 schoolchildren randomly selected from public and private schools. Calibrated examiners (Kappa >0.80) performed the clinical examination of dental caries using the International Caries Detection and Assessment System and applied the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale and the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children questionnaires. The anthropometric variables evaluated were weight and height. Negative binomial regressions (α ≤ 0.05) were performed. A Directed Acyclic Graph was prepared using DAGitty software (version 3.0), to select the co-variables for the statistical fits.
    Results: The prevalence of tooth decay was 52.8%. The mean number of tooth surfaces with cavitated caries was 2.2(2.8), 58.9% of the schoolchildren had some type of sleep disorder, while 20.2% were anxious and 29.1% were obese. Sleep disturbance (RR = 1.38; 95% CI: 1.05-1.83), general anxiety (RR = 1.71; 95% CI: 1.32-2.21), obesity (RR = 1.48; 95% CI: 1.17-1.86) were associated with dental caries in the final model.
    Conclusion: The presence of carious lesions was higher in children with sleep disorders, anxiety, obesity, and those who experienced dry mouth.

    Abstract The time series captured by a single scalp electrode (plus the reference electrode) of refractory epileptic patients is used to forecast seizures susceptibility. The time series is preprocessed, segmented, and each segment transformed into an image, using three different known methods: Recurrence Plot, Gramian Angular Field, Markov Transition Field. The likelihood of the occurrence of a seizure in a future predefined time window is computed by averaging the output of the softmax layer of a CNN, differently from the usual consideration of the output of the classification layer. By thresholding this likelihood, seizure forecasting has better performance. Interestingly, for almost every patient, the best threshold was different from 50%. The results show that this technique can predict with good results for some seizures and patients. However, more tests, namely more patients and more seizures, are needed to better understand the real potential of this technique.

    Abstract Refractory epileptic patients can suffer a seizure at any moment. Seizure prediction would substantially improve their lives. In this work, based on scalp EEG and its transformation into images, the likelihood of an epileptic seizure occurring at any moment is computed using an average of the softmax layer output (the likelihood) of a CNN, instead of the output of the classification layer. Results show that by analyzing the likelihood and thresholding it, prediction has higher sensitivity or a lower FPR/h. The best threshold for the likelihood was higher than 50% for 5 patients, and was lower for the remaining 36. However, more testing is needed, especially in new seizures, to better assess the real performance of this method. This work is a proof of concept with a positive outlook.
