1. Finite element computational development for thermo-mechanical analysis of plane steel structures exposed to fire
Abstract This article presents a numerical formulation based on finite element procedures for application in nonlinear thermo-mechanical analyses of steel planar structures under fire condition. The mechanical properties of structural elements degrade when subjected to high temperatures, resulting in significant reductions in strength and stiffness. Under th

2. Ring Fracture of Brazilian Aortic Valve Bioprostheses Using Non-Compliant High-Pressure Transcatheter Balloon, an Ex Vivo Test
ABSTRACT Introduction: Aortic valve bioprostheses ring fracture in valve-in-valve procedures has shown low complication rates and presents as an option in the treatment of patients at high risk for conventional surgery, avoiding high transvalvular gradients, which are associated with increased mortality. Some prostheses available in the market cannot be fra

3. High Residual Gradient Following a Self-Expandable Transcatheter Aortic Valve-in-Valve Implantation — Risk Factor Analysis, Outcomes, and Survival
Abstract Introduction: Transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve implantation (TAVI-ViV) can be associated with unfavorable hemodynamic outcomes. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence, identify the risk factors, and evaluate the outcomes and survival of patients with high residual gradients after TAVI-ViV. Methods: A total of 85 patients were included in t

4. Macrophyte functional composition is stable across a strong environmental gradient of a Neotropical floodplain
ABSTRACT Ecological communities are compared by the similarity or distinctness of their species. Taking into account community composition at a determined site, one could expect a similar reasoning to explain differences in both taxonomic and functional composition due to environmental gradients. We aim to evaluate spatial variation in functional composition

5. Predicting the potential distribution of aquatic herbaceous plants in oligotrophic Central Amazonian wetland ecosystems
ABSTRACT Aquatic herbaceous plants are especially suitable for mapping environmental variability in wetlands, as they respond quickly to environmental gradients and are good indicators of habitat preference. We describe the composition of herbaceous species in two oligotrophic wetland ecosystems, floodplains along black-water rivers (igapó) and wetlands upo

6. o-DGT Devices for the Determination of Emerging Contaminants in Aqueous Matrices
Samplers based on the diffusive gradients in thin films for organics (o-DGT) were developed and applied in Brazilian aqueous matrices for the determination of four emerging contaminants (EC): 4-octylphenol, 4-nonylphenol, triclosan, and bisphenol A. The OASIS HLB resin used as the binding phase presented a high sorption capacity and the extraction associated

7. Conservative Treatment of Unicuspid Aortic Valve with Newly Diagnosed Type A Aortic Dissection
Abstract We present a case of a 36-year-old male patient with known arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and an associated unicuspid aortic valve. The patient later developed a significant aneurysm of the ascending aorta, however refused surgical intervention and missed follow-up appointments for 5 years. During an urgent, general practitioner-initiated transt

8. A Tribute to a Master: Professor Domingo M. Braile
Abstract Objective: To determine the feasibility of aortic valve neocuspidization (AVNeo) with glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardium. Methods: One hundred and seventy (170) AVNeo (84 males/86 females) were performed from January 2017 through March 2019 in three centers. All the records were prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed. Res

9. Immediate Outcomes of Aortic Valve Neocuspidization with Glutaraldehyde-treated Autologous Pericardium: a Multicenter Study
Abstract Objective: To determine the feasibility of aortic valve neocuspidization (AVNeo) with glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardium. Methods: One hundred and seventy (170) AVNeo (84 males/86 females) were performed from January 2017 through March 2019 in three centers.

10. The Beneficial Effect of Anticoagulation in Aortic Bioprosthesis is Associated with its Size
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the clinical and echocardiographic outcomes in aortic valve replacement (AVR) patients with aortic bioprosthesis under oral anticoagulation (OA). Methods: Patients who underwent AVR with bioprosthesiswere prospectively enrolled. They were classified based on postoperative use of OA. Clinical and operative variables were co

11. Hemodynamic and Imaging Assessment of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement with the Inovare® Proseal using Multislice Computed Tomography
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the hemodynamic performance (i.e., gradients and paravalvular leakage [PVL]) of the new and experimental Braile Inovare® Proseal. Additionally, we aimed to assess pre and postoperatively the aortic annulus and the transcatheter prosthesis using multislice computed tomography (MSCT). Methods: Patients were selected by a mult

12. Variation in root morphology of epiphytic orchids along small-scale and large-scale moisture gradients
ABSTRACT Root morphology is expected to respond to environmental conditions. Two earlier studies reported predictable changes in the structure of the velamen radicum (common in monocotyledons) along rainfall gradients, which was expected from its assumed role in plant-water-relations. The present study expanded on this idea by analysing nine root traits that
