Abstract
With an increasing number of international journeys occurring daily, there is also an increase in the need for appropriate medical advice for patients who will undertake such travel. In this context, the lupus patient presents a great challenge to the rheumatologist. However, the demand for such information by patients is low, and it has proven difficult for the medical community to adequately provide it. In this article, we carried out a literature review of the medical recommendations made for the lupus patient in order to guide the rheumatologist through the topic of travel medicine.

Abstract
A exploração indiscriminada dos recursos naturais direciona o mercado a buscar novas tecnologias como alerta à possível escassez de materiais. No contexto da construção a utilização de novas alternativas para pintura é uma urgência e o uso da tinta a base de terra é uma alternativa inovadora, econômica e viável, considerando o apelo socioambiental da proposta. O trabalho objetiva apresentar a percepção de agricultores sobre a pintura com tinta de terra, como ecotecnologia social para a valorização das potencialidades não agrícolas do solo e oportunidade de geração de trabalho e renda. As atividades aconteceram numa associação rural do Cariri paraibano. Inicialmente foi aplicado um questionário semiestruturado para verificar o entendimento dos participantes sobre a morfologia e uso não agrícola do solo. A seguir realizou-se a oficina de pintura com terra (geotinta). Os resultados apresentam a ausência de conceitos sobre as características do solo e suas potencialidades não agrícolas. Após a oficina a percepção dos agricultores mudou e estes revelaram-se entusiasmados pela tinta de terra, como inovação para pintura da casas e como oportunidade de agregar renda pelo artesanato. Evidencia-se a geotinta como possibilidade para disseminação de conceitos sobre o solo, promoção de posturas sustentáveis e ecotecnologia para inovação.

Abstract
We report on the existence of two different regimes in one-step Ag-seeded InP nanowire growth. The vapor-liquid-solid-mechanism is present at larger In precursor flows and temperatures, ∼500 °C, yielding high aspect ratio and pure wurtzite InP nanowires with a semi-spherical metal particle at the thin apex. Periodic diameter oscillations can be achieved under extreme In supersaturations at this temperature range, showing the presence of a liquid catalyst. However, under lower temperatures and In precursor flows, large diameter InP nanowires with mixed wurtzite/zincblende segments are obtained, similarly to In-assisted growth. Chemical composition analysis suggest that In-rich droplet formation is catalyzed at the substrate surface via Ag nanoparticles; this process might be facilitated by the sulfur contamination detected in these nanoparticles. Furthermore, part of the original Ag nanoparticle remains solid and is embedded inside the actual catalyst, providing an in situ method to switch growth mechanisms upon changing In precursor flow. Nevertheless, our Ag-seeded InP nanowires exhibit overall optical emission spectra consistent with the observed structural properties and similar to Au-catalyzed InP nanowires. We thus show that Ag nanoparticles may be a suitable replacement for Au in InP nanowire growth.

Abstract
InAs nanowires grown by vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) method are investigated by photoluminescence. We observe that the Fermi energy of all samples is reduced by ∼20 meV when the size of the Au nanoparticle used for catalysis is increased from 5 to 20 nm. Additional capping with a thin InP shell enhances the optical emission and does not affect the Fermi energy. The unexpected behavior of the Fermi energy is attributed to the differences in the residual donor (likely carbon) incorporation in the axial (low) and lateral (high incorporation) growth in the VLS and vapor-solid (VS) methods, respectively. The different impurity incorporation rate in these two regions leads to a core/shell InAs homostructure. In this case, the minority carriers (holes) diffuse to the core due to the built-in electric field created by the radial impurity distribution. As a result, the optical emission is dominated by the core region rather than by the more heavily doped InAs shell. Thus, the photoluminescence spectra and the Fermi energy become sensitive to the core diameter. These results are corroborated by a theoretical model using a self-consistent method to calculate the radial carrier distribution and Fermi energy for distinct diameters of Au nanoparticles.

Abstract
The growth of wurtzite/zincblende (WZ and ZB, respectively) superstructures opens new avenues for band structure engineering and holds the promise of digitally controlling the energy spectrum of quantum confined systems. Here, we study growth kinetics of pure and thus defect-free WZ/ZB homostructures in GaP nanowires with the aim to obtain monolayer control of the ZB and WZ segment lengths. We find that the Ga concentration and the supersaturation in the catalyst particle are the key parameters determining growth kinetics. These parameters can be tuned by the gallium partial pressure and the temperature. The formation of WZ and ZB can be understood with a model based on nucleation either at the triple phase line for the WZ phase or in the center of the solid-liquid interface for the ZB phase. Furthermore, the observed delay/offset time needed to induce WZ and ZB growth after growth of the other phase can be explained within this framework.

Abstract
The diameter dependence of the thermal conductivity of InAs nanowires in the range of 40-1500 nm has been measured. We demonstrate a reduction in thermal conductivity of 80% for 40 nm nanowires, opening the way for further design strategies for nanoscaled thermoelectric materials. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of thermal contact in the most common measurement method for nanoscale thermal conductivity. Our study allows for the determination of the thermal contact using existing measurement setups. The thermal contact resistance is found to be comparable to the wire thermal resistance for wires with a diameter of 90 nm and higher.

Abstract
Semiconductor nanowires oriented along the [211] direction usually present twins parallel to their axis. For group IV nanowires this kind of twin allows the formation of a catalyst-nanowire interface composed of two equivalent {111} facets. For III-V nanowires, however, the twin will generate two facets with different polarities. In order to keep the <211> orientation stable, a balance in growth rates for these different facets must be reached. We report here the observation of stable, micron-long <211>-oriented InGaP nanowires with a spontaneous core-shell structure. We show that stacking fault formation in the crystal region corresponding to the {111}A facet termination provides a stable NW/NP interface for growth along the <211> direction. During sample cool down, however, the catalyst migrates to a lateral {111}B facet, allowing the growth of branches perpendicular to the initial orientation. In addition to that, we show that the core-shell structure is non-concentric, most likely due to the asymmetry between the facets formed in the NW sidewall; this effect generates stress along the nanowire, which can be relieved through bending.

Abstract
With increases life expectancy, the incidence of undesirable manifestations of menopause has increased as well. The effects of lost ovarian function include progressive decrease in estradiol secretion, trophic changes in the breast, vasomotor symptoms, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. Insomnia, which has physiological consequences and can result in a loss of quality of life, is prevalent in women after menopause. Hormone therapy has been widely used to reduce menopausal symptoms, but its use in recent years has been questioned because of the reported risks of cardiovascular events and increased incidence of tumors. This controversy has generated significant interest in non-hormonal treatments among both physicians and patients. Our previous research has shown a positive effect of massage therapy on menopausal symptoms. We explored the hypothesis that massage therapy would produce beneficial effects in postmenopausal women through inflammatory and immunological changes. Recent results from self-report questionnaires have shown improvements in sleep pattern and quality of life following massage therapy. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of massage therapy for the treatment of postmenopausal symptoms, particularly insomnia, and indicate that it is a promising line of research.

Abstract
Minas Gerais is the major coffee-producing state of Brazil, with 28% of its production coming from the region of Zona da Mata. Four major species of root-knot nematode attacking coffee (Meloidogyne incognita, M. paranaensis, M. coffeicola, and M. exigua) have been reported from Brazil. To determine the variability in Meloidogyne spp. occurring in that region, 57 populations from 20 localities were evaluated for morphological, enzymatic, and physiological characteristics. According to the perineal pattern, all the populations were identified as M. exigua; however populations from the municipality of São João do Manhuaçu exhibited patterns very similar to M. arenaria. The identity of all the populations was confirmed by the phenotypes of esterase, malate dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase, and glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase. Thirteen populations (22.8%) showed the typical one-band (E1) esterase phenotype, whereas the others (77.2%) had a novel two-band phenotype (E2). No intraspecies variability was found in any population. All populations were able to reproduce on tomato, pepper, beans, cacao, and soybean. Reproduction was greater on tomato and pepper than on coffee seedlings, the susceptible standard.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main process involved in hepatic osteodystrophy seems to be osteoporosis, but decreased 25-hydroxylation of vitamin D might lead to osteomalacia and secondary hyperparathyroidism. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied bone mineral density (BMD) by using DEXA-Expert Lunar, biochemical markers of bone turnover and calcium-parathyroid hormone (PTH)-vitamin D axis in 100 patients with chronic viral hepatitis secondary to hepatitis C virus: 49 non-cirrhotic (NCir) and 51 with cirrhosis (Cir) confirmed by liver biopsy and/or clinical and biochemical features. When compared to the age-matched population, 25% of the patients had low BMD at the lumbar spine (LS), 26.2% at Ward's triangle, 15.5% at the femoral neck (FN), and 20.2% at the trochanter. No difference was found either between Cir and NCir groups or between sexes. Urinary N-telopeptide was increased in 31.86% of the patients, and negatively correlated with BMD at the LS and trochanter (P < 0.02). Serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase was elevated in 21% of the patients and negatively correlated with BMD at the trochanter and Ward's triangle (P < 0.02). Fasting 25-hydroxyvitamin D was low in only three Cir patients, with no difference between the Cir and NCir groups, but it was higher in men (51.8 +/- 16.0 ng/mL) compared to women (40.4 +/- 14.4 ng/mL; P = 0.001). Fasting serum calcium was lower in Cir than NCir patients, P = 0.019. Fasting intact PTH was elevated in 42% of the patients, but the mean serum levels were similar in Cir and NCir groups. CONCLUSION We found no evidence of vitamin D deficiency, but cannot exclude the participation of PTH in the high bone turnover and bone loss in the population with chronic viral hepatitis.

Abstract
A patient with tertiary syphilis presenting with bilateral coronary ostial lesions and aortic regurgitation underwent surgical reconstruction of the coronary ostia by the anterior approach with autogenous saphenous vein grafting and substitution of the aortic valve with a bovine bioprosthesis. The procedure was easily performed and had good outcomes both early and late. The rarity of the association of a lesion in both coronary ostia with aortic regurgitation in syphilis and the surgical technique employed are discussed.
