Pediatricians' focus of sight at pain assessment during a neonatal heel puncture.

Objective: To evaluate the focus of pediatricians' gaze during the heel prick of neonates.

Methods: Prospective study in which pediatricians wearing eye tracker glasses evaluated neonatal pain before/after a heel prtick. Pediatricians scored the pain they perceived in the neonate in a verbal analogue numerical scale (0=no pain; 10=maximum pain).

Looking through Providers' Eyes: Pain in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Objective: Evaluate the pain of critically ill newborns is a challenge because of the devices for cardiorespiratory support. This study aim to verify the adults' gaze when assessing the critically ill neonates' pain at bedside.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study in which pediatricians, nursing technicians, and parents evaluated critically ill neonates' pain at bedside, for 20 seconds with eye-tracking glasses.

Combined photocatalytic and fungal processes for the treatment of nitrocellulose industry wastewater.

The objective of this work was to characterize the delignification effluent originating from the delignification industry and evaluate the combination of the fungus and photocatalytic process (TiO(2)/UV system) for the treatment of this effluent. The delignification effluent has proven harmful to the environment because it presents high color (3516 CU), total phenol (876 mg/L) and TOC (1599 mg/L) and is also highly toxic even in a low concentration. The results of photocatalysis were 11%, 25% and 13% higher for reductions in color, total phenol and TOC, respectively.

Fungal treatment of a delignification effluent from a nitrocellulose industry.

Twelve strains of filamentous fungi, most of them belonging to the Deuteromycetes class, were isolated from activated sludge adapted to the delignification effluent from a nitrocellulose industry and screened to be used in the treatment of the effluent. The screening experiment was carried out using the effluent without co-substrate, treated for 120 h and pH 5. Aspergillus 2BNL1, Aspergillus 1AAL1 and Lentinus edodes UEC 2019 showed the highest effluent color reduction rates between 83% and 95%.
