    Abstract In this paper, we present a novel algorithm that uses machine learning and natural language processing techniques to facilitate the coding of feature listing data. Feature listing is a method in which participants are asked to provide a list of features that are typically true of a given concept or word. This method is commonly used in research studies to gain insights into people's understanding of various concepts. The standard procedure for extracting meaning from feature listings is to manually code the data, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors, leading to reliability concerns. Our algorithm aims at addressing these challenges by automatically assigning human-created codes to feature listing data that achieve a quantitatively good agreement with human coders. Our preliminary results suggest that our algorithm has the potential to improve the efficiency and accuracy of content analysis of feature listing data. Additionally, this tool is an important step toward developing a fully automated coding algorithm, which we are currently preliminarily devising.

    Title translation Prescrição farmacêutica: uma revisão sobre percepções e atitudes de pacientes, farmacêuticos e outros interessados.
    Abstract Pharmacist prescribing is a growing reality in some developed counties, with varied health systems. Understanding the contribution that this activity can offer in the healthcare process, and investigating its acceptance is of utmost importance for the countries that implement and regulate this type of system. This literature review aimed to design a state-of-the-art academic investigation on the perception, opinions, and attitudes in the context of pharmacist prescribing practices in countries that have adopted this system. To achieve this, the present study conducted an investigation of the Medline, Scopus, Embase, SciELO, and Lilacs databases, resulting in the selection of 17 studies. From the analysis of the articles, three categories of discussion arose: "understanding of the practice and perceived benefits", "acceptance and adherence to the practice, and "hindrances to the practice". The results showed varied acceptance and perceptions among the different publics, depending, among other questions, on the level of knowledge and experience of the patients and health professionals, on the profile of the pharmacists, or on the prescribing modality. This study highlights some challenges involved in the practice of pharmacist prescribing, and its findings can be useful in suggesting a means through which to strengthen the practice.

    Abstract This paper addresses the impact of the particle initial wetting and the viscosity of the oil phase on the structure and rheological properties of direct (Oil/Water) and reverse (Water/Oil) Pickering emulsions. The emulsion structure was investigated via confocal microscopy and static light scattering. The flow and viscoelastic properties were probed by a stress-controlled rheometer. Partially hydrophobic silica particles have been employed at 1 and 4 wt.% to stabilize dodecane or paraffin-based emulsions at 20 vol.% of the dispersed phase. W/O emulsions were obtained when the particles were dispersed in the oily phase while O/W emulsions were prepared when the silica was introduced in the aqueous phase. We demonstrated that, although the particles adsorbed at the droplets interfaces for all the emulsions, their organization, the emulsion structure and their rheological properties depend in which phase they were previously dispersed in. We discuss these features as a function of the particle concentration and the oil viscosity.

    Abstract Microalgae are important sources of biotechnological products, including pigments, lipids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, polysaccharides, vitamins, and other bioactive compounds. These microorganisms are photosynthetic; however, under photosynthetic growth conditions, biomass and metabolite production can be limited by light availability. An alternative is mixotrophic microalgae growth, based on the addition of organic carbon sources (i.e. carbohydrates, organic acids, alcohols, etc.) in the presence of light. It has been documented that, in contrast to the cultivations conducted under autotrophic conditions, the cultivation of several species of microalgae under mixotrophic conditions generally showed improvements in growth rates, biomass, and high-value compound concentrations. This review is focused on those studies recently published in relation to the mixotrophic growth of microalgae as an alternative method of producing high-value products (PUFAs, pigments, polysaccharides, vitamins and peptides), emphasizing those species that grow mixotrophically. Additionally, bioengineering and metabolic engineering strategies developed to improve mixotrophic growth and metabolite production, are discussed.

    Abstract Background: Caudal duplication syndrome (CDS) is associated with complete/partial duplication of the spine, spinal cord, duplication/malformations of other caudal structures, and often neurological dysfunction.
    Case description: A 9-month-old with the prenatal diagnosis of multiple fetal malformations was born through cesarean section at 39 weeks. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a series of abnormalities: intramedullary cyst at the L4 level with tethering of the conus with a lipoma, a duplication of the sacrum, duplication of the intestines, a ventricular septal defect, bladder duplication, four kidneys, two fully formed functional penises, two anuses (imperforate on the left), and a paramedian ossified appendage suggestive of a malformed leg. The child, at an 8 months of age, underwent a laminectomy at the L4 level for resection of the conus lipoma, release of the tethered cord, and resection of the intramedullary cyst.
    Conclusion: Spine/spinal cord duplication syndromes are typically associated with spine/spinal cord abnormalities and are often associated with moderate/severe neurological deficits. Additional malformations associated with the CDS include duplication of vascular structures/organs (e.g., bladder and distal gastrointestinal tract). Here, we focused on both the patient's quality of life and the multidisciplinary approach to managing the duplication syndrome associated with multiple system malformations (e.g., neurological/spinal, bladder, and gastrointestinal, others).

    Abstract The activation of the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway has been associated with the development and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). Parthenolide (PTL), a well-known inhibitor of the NF-κB pathway, has emerged as an alternative treatment. However, whether PTL activity is tumor cell-specific and dependent on the mutational background has not been defined. This study investigated the antitumor role of PTL after tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) stimulation in various CRC cell lines with different mutational statuses of TP53. We observed that CRC cells displayed different patterns of basal p-IκBα levels; PTL reduced cell viability according to p-IκBα levels and p-IκBα levels varied among the cell lines according to the time of TNF-α stimulation. High concentrations of PTL reduced more effectively p-IκBα levels than low doses of PTL. However, PTL increased total IκBα levels in Caco-2 and HT-29 cells. In addition, PTL treatment downregulated p-p65 levels in HT-29 and HCT-116 cells stimulated by TNF-α in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, PTL induced cell death via apoptosis and reduced the proliferation rate of TNF-α-treated HT-29 cells. Finally, PTL downregulated the messenger RNA levels of interleukin-1β, a downstream cytokine of NF-κB, reverted the E-cadherin-mediated disorganization of cell-cell contacts, and decreased the invasion of HT-29 cells. Together, these results suggest a differential antitumoral activity of PTL on CRC cells with different mutational statuses of TP53, modulating cell death, survival, and proliferation underlying the NF-κB pathway TNF-α-induced. Therefore, PTL has emerged as a potential treatment for CRC in an inflammatory NF-κB-dependent manner.
