    Abstract This paper describes an automatic system which measures the effect of temperature variations on the response of ion-selective electrodes (hysteresis curves). The system is managed by a computer program which plots hysteresis curves following a pre-established temperature cycle, from setting and controlling the temperature of the water-bath, to acquiring the response potentials of up to five electrodes after temperature stabilization.

    Abstract A new mixed turbidite-contourite system is described in the northern Campos Basin, southeastern Brazilian margin. This system is developed in a middle slope setting and was formed through non-synchronous interaction between the turbidity current and a contour current in the same stratigraphic interval (Miocene). Different depositional cycles were accounted based on their diagnostic seismic features. Seismic attributes, seismic facies, and isochron maps were used to identify alternating cycles of downslope and alongslope processes in the study area, along with the intermediate stage with features from both processes (mixed system). The depositional processes resulted from alongslope current activity can be distinguished from the downslope current activity, based on the acoustic characteristics (root-mean-square (RMS) amplitude), internal architecture, and external geometry pattern. While alongslope currents deposits consist of mainly low RMS amplitude values clinoforms with an alongslope trend; the downslope gravity deposits present high-amplitude or chaotic seismic facies, usually higher values of RMS amplitude, channel or channel-lobe features, erosive surfaces, and a basinward depositional trend. In this study, five seismic units are described and later associated with their dominant type of current. Based on the main depositional diagnostic features, it was possible to determine which were the dominant processes that controlled the sedimentation by indicating periods where the margin was mostly submitted to sediment transfer from continent to the basin and periods wherethe oceanic currents prevailed by redistributing sediments along the isobaths and replacing the axis of downslope transfer conduits. Important information on the paleocurrents' direction was also made based on the final deposits display (e.g. terraces, sediment waves, paleochannels), a northward-flowing bottom current was assumed. Research on alternating dominant processes and mixed depositional systems may provide a better understanding of ...

    Abstract Subjects with chronic liver disease are susceptible to hypovitaminosis A due to several factors. Therefore, identifying patients with vitamin deficiency and a requirement for vitamin supplementation is important. Most studies assessing vitamin A in the context of hepatic disorders are conducted using cirrhotic patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 43 non-cirrhotic patients with chronic hepatitis C to evaluate markers of vitamin A status represented by serum retinol, liver retinol, and serum retinol-binding protein levels. We also performed the relative dose-response test, which provides an indirect estimate of hepatic vitamin A reserves. These vitamin A indicators were assessed according to the stage of liver fibrosis using the METAVIR score and the body mass index. The sample study was predominantly composed of male subjects (63%) with mild liver fibrosis (F1). The relative dose-response test was <20% in all subjects, indicating vitamin A sufficiency. Overweight or obese patients had higher serum retinol levels than those with a normal body mass index (2.6 and 1.9 µmol/L, respectively; P<0.01). Subjects with moderate liver fibrosis (F2) showed lower levels of serum retinol (1.9 vs 2.5 µmol/L, P=0.01) and retinol-binding protein levels compared with those with mild fibrosis (F1) (46.3 vs 67.7 µg/mL, P<0.01). These results suggested an effect of being overweight on serum retinol levels. Furthermore, more advanced stages of liver fibrosis were related to a decrease in serum vitamin A levels.

    Abstract The acid properties of a soil fulvic acid (sfua) were characterized by potentiometric titration with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide in two non-aqueous solvents with high acid-base resolution power N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and acetonitrile. Synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (SyF) was also used to monitor directly the sfua status during the potentiometric titration in DMF. The potentiometric titration curves showed no clear end-point and the analysis of the sets of spectra obtained at increasing neutralization degree, with a self-modeling curve resolution method (SIMPLISMA), revealed the existence of two components with featureless concentration profiles. Internal standards (maleic, salicylic and p-hydroxylbenzoic acids) were used to determine the amounts of acid groups with different acid strengths in the two non-aqueous solvents. It was shown that the variations observed in the SyF spectra sets of the internal standards are not correlated with those observed in the sfua data. The splitting of the sfua groups in the non-aqueous titration curves seems to be forced artificially depending on the standards used.

    Abstract Objective: To determine characteristics, clinical significance, frequency, and mimics of restless legs syndrome (RLS) in a cohort of Wilson's disease (WD, n = 42/f = 18), compared to healthy, matched controls.
    Materials and methods: Structured clinical interviews (patients and caregiving family members), repeated neurological examinations (afternoon and presleep), comprehensive laboratory tests, WD-, RLS-, and sleep-specific rating scales, and video-polysomnography.
    Results: Thirteen patients with WD (13/42 = 31.0%) clearly fulfilled the five diagnostic criteria of RLS; in eight patients (19.1%), the burden of RLS was clinically significant. The RLS was of moderate severity, equally distributed among sexes, manifested mainly in the evening and before falling asleep, and had developed mostly after clinical manifestation of WD (time elapsed 10.2 ± 14.5 years), still at a young mean age (27.5 ± 11.5 years). The known RLS-associated features were absent (normal iron and kidney parameters) or rare (positive family history, polyneuropathy). Compared to WD patients without RLS, patients with RLS were significantly elder and had suffered longer from WD. WD-specific RLS mimics as well as RLS confounding motor comorbidities (dystonia, tremor, chorea) were frequent and a diagnostic challenge; in difficult cases, the differentiation was reached by clinical observation of the motor behavior in the evening or at nighttime.
    Conclusion: RLS was frequent in this cohort of WD and might be causally related to WD. RLS should be included in the diagnostic work-up of WD. In complex motor disorders, differential diagnosis of RLS might require evening/nighttime examination and video-polysomnography. In WD patients with a clinically significant RLS, treatment with dopaminergic substances may be considered.

    Abstract Potentiometric biosensors based on urease (E.C. 3.5.1.5.) immobilized on chitosan membranes coupled to all-solid-state nonactin ammonium ion selective electrodes are described. The enzyme was immobilized on the chitosan membranes by four procedures: (A) adsorption; (B) adsorption followed by reticulation with dilute aqueous glutaraldehyde solution; (C) activation with glutaraldehyde followed by contact with the enzyme solution; and (D) activation with glutaraldehyde, contact with the enzyme solution and reduction of the Schiff base with sodium borohydride. The response characteristics of the biosensors obtained with these enzymatic membranes were determined and compared. The biosensor with best response characteristics, obtained by procedure (B), showed the following characteristics of response to urea: (i) linearity in the 10(-4) to 10(-2) M range; (ii) slope of up to 56 mV per decade; (iii) response time between 30 s and 2 min; and (iv) lifetime of 2 months. This biosensor was tested in the determination of urea in blood serum samples.
