    Title translation Osteomalacie.
    Abstract Osteomalacia with characteristic histomorphometric, radiographic, laboratory and clinical features is a prominent syndrome of disturbed bone mineralisation in adulthood. From an etiological point of view, osteomalacia is usually caused by substrate (calcium, phosphate) deficiency, presence of excess mineralization inhibitors or deficiency or ineffectivness of mineralization facilitator (vitamin D). In proportion to the high number of congenital and acquired causes of osteomalacia, its clinical and laboratory picture is heterogeneous and rarely fully expressed. The treatment of a particular case is determined by the cause of osteomalacia and may (but does not necessarily) include correction of the underlying disease, administration of calcium and various forms of vitamin D, as well as orthopaedic interventions. For some of the hereditary forms, biological or replacement therapy is prospectively available. The article attempts to cover the whole range of osteomalacia variants, mentioning a fact discussed only in recent years - the occurrence of oligosymptomatic, incompletely expressed forms.

    Abstract Gout is the most common arthritis and it is associated to urate monosodium crystals deposits in articulations, kidney and soft tissue. The urate monosodium crystals deposit initiates an inflammatory response; mediated by NLRP3 inflammasome, with the release of interleukin 1β. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is involved in this response. Although serum urate level is a strong predictor of incident gout, only about half of those with serum urate concentrations ≥10mg/dL develop clinically evident gout over 15 years. Therefore, it has been postulated that other factors, including genetic or immunity related factors, seems to be necessary to the apparition of the acute gout flare beside hyperuricemia. The association of TLR4 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2149356 and gout risk is controversial with different results according to different populations.

    Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the fitting process of a scleral lens that allows several parameter adjustments during trials and after the initial period of use. In addition, we verified which adjustments were needed and used the most, their indications, and how often these resources were used, and checked the results.
    Methods: Scleral contact lens fittings in a private clinic setting were prospectively analyzed in a sequential, non-randomized, and non-comparative manner. All the patients underwent a complete ophthalmic examination and had an indication for scleral lens use (Zenlens, Alden Optical).
    Results: Scleral fit was analyzed in 80 eyes of 45 patients. Regarding diagnosis, 72% of the patients had keratoconus; 12%, radial keratotomy; 5%, post-refractive surgery ectasia; 5%, dry eye; and 3%, high myopia. In 66 (82.5%) of the 80 eyes studied, parameters were modified when the lenses were ordered. The reasons that led to the modifications were apical touch or decreased sagittal height, increased sagittal height, cylindrical over-refraction, poor visual acuity, lens flexure, peripheral touch, 360° edge compression, horizontal edge compression, and vertical edge compression.
    Conclusion: In this study, the use of Zenlens scleral lenses was shown to be a promising corrective treatment for patients requiring the use of scleral lenses. Although the study suggests a learning curve, as many adjustments were allowed, the lens could be customized according to the patients' needs. This increased the success rates of fitting and wearing, and consequently, use of the lens became a great option for the visual rehabilitation of patients.

    Abstract The current study demonstrates that an individual's resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) is a dependable biomarker for identifying differential patterns of cognitive and emotional functioning during late childhood. Using baseline RSFC data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study, which includes children aged 9-11, we identified four distinct RSFC subtypes We introduce an integrated methodological pipeline for testing the reliability and importance of these subtypes. In the Identification phase, Leiden Community Detection defined RSFC subtypes, with their reproducibility confirmed through a split-sample technique in the Validation stage. The Evaluation phase showed that distinct cognitive and mental health profiles are associated with each subtype, with the Predictive phase indicating that subtypes better predict various cognitive and mental health characteristics than individual RSFC connections. The Replication stage employed bootstrapping and down-sampling methods to substantiate the reproducibility of these subtypes further. This work allows future explorations of developmental trajectories of these RSFC subtypes.

    Abstract Intermediate magma compositions have been postulated to be parental to Andean-type magmatism in the recent years. Geochemical and experimental methods have allowed the modelling of a hypothetical parental composition that accounts for the major element trends displayed by Andean-type batholiths. However, natural plutonic examples matching the modelled composition remain lacking, likely due to the predominance of fractionated liquids and cumulates in the batholiths after protracted and large-scale differentiation. Contrary to this, magma mingling zones, a common feature in Andean-type batholiths, are characterised by quenching phenomena, minimising differentiation. In this paper, we present data from intermediate magmatism in the world-class Gerena magma mingling zone in the Seville Sierra Norte batholith (southern Iberia), compositionally equivalent to Andean-type magmatic series. Geochemical data from quenched dark globules of variable scale and the corresponding host granodiorites are contrasted with the bimodal trends displayed by the host batholith. Results suggest that the smaller-scale dark globules have not undergone any significant fractionation. Furthermore, after conducting geochemical modelling we conclude the dark globules represent a composition that could be parental to Andean-type magmas. We propose that magma mingling zones are an optimal place to probe for parental magmas of Andean-type magmatism, particularly those represented in pristine melanocratic, intermediate globules.

    Abstract In aquatic ecosystems, such as Neotropical floodplains, it is common to find dried aquatic macrophytes along the margins of various environments (e.g. lakes and rivers) during the dry season. Here, we evaluate the potential of dried Eichhornia crassipes as a dispersal vector of ostracod resting eggs by assessing the abundance, richness and beta diversity of the dormant associated fauna. We test two hypotheses: (1) that the roots of E. crassipes shelter and disperse ostracod resting eggs and (2) that the abundance, richness and beta diversity of dormant assemblages will increase over the incubation time after re-hydration. Dried E. crassipes from floodplain lakes were hydrated with distilled water. The microcosms were kept in germinating chambers with controlled temperature and photoperiod during 147 days. A total of 397 ostracods representing seven species hatched from the resting eggs attached to dried macrophyte roots. An increase in richness and a decrease in abundance were observed over the weeks, although these trends were not significant. However, the beta diversity increased significantly over the incubation time. Our results show that the complex root systems of E. crassipes have the potential for storage and dispersal of ostracod resting eggs.
