This document discusses Sjogren's syndrome, an autoimmune disorder characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands causing dry eyes and mouth. It covers diagnostic criteria including symptoms, objective signs of dryness, autoimmune involvement and biopsy findings. Treatment focuses on managing sicca symptoms through salivary stimulation and substitutes. Rituximab has shown promise in improving dryness symptoms and systemic manifestations in early studies. The risk of lymphoma is higher in Sjogren's patients, especially those with prognostic factors like low C4 levels or purpura.

Este documento apresenta o hidrograma de cheias do Rio Messingaze, obtido através de diferentes métodos. Inicialmente, descreve as características da bacia hidrográfica e calcula o tempo de concentração. Em seguida, determina o hidrograma resultante de uma precipitação intensa com duração igual ao tempo de concentração e período de retorno de 50 anos. Por fim, obtém o hidrograma considerando uma distribuição variável da precipitação de acordo com um hietograma e calcula o coeficiente C da Fórmula Racional
O documento discute o processo de infiltração no solo, definindo-o como a penetração da água no solo devido à gravidade e capilaridade. Descreve as fases da infiltração e características como capacidade de infiltração, porosidade e permeabilidade que afetam o processo. Também apresenta métodos para medir a taxa de infiltração como o infiltrômetro e simulador de chuva.

This document discusses different types of rain gauges used to measure precipitation. There are two main types: non-recording gauges that provide total rainfall over a period, like the commonly used Symon's gauge; and recording gauges that provide a continuous rainfall record. Recording gauges include the weighing bucket type, which tracks accumulated rainfall on a chart via a weighted bucket, the tipping bucket type, which tips to mark rainfall intervals electronically, and the floating type, which uses a float and syphon to record rainfall levels over time. Recording gauges provide more detailed rainfall data without needing an attendant but have higher costs.
The document discusses systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and its effects on the kidneys, known as lupus nephritis. It defines SLE as an autoimmune disease that causes organ and tissue damage mediated by autoantibodies and immune complexes. Around 90% of SLE patients are women of childbearing age. The document outlines the classification criteria for diagnosing SLE and describes the clinical manifestations and role of renal biopsy in diagnosing lupus nephritis. It discusses the pathologic findings of lupus nephritis under light microscopy, immunofluorescence, and electron microscopy and provides the 2003 classification system for lupus nephritis.

It aims to transform companies into cultural brands through connecting their message to target audiences.
The student Jay-im G. Rosero has been assigned to study hard disks and create 3D models using CAD software. They are to learn about hard disks and represent their understanding through 3D computer aided design models. The assignment requires gaining knowledge of hard disk components and functionality and applying that knowledge in virtual 3D representations.
This document summarizes a Republican training session breakout discussing successful and unsuccessful events. It provides guidance on fundraising event planning, including establishing goals and audience, promoting through various channels, and ensuring accountability. Examples are given of successful events like a low country boil due to early planning, organization, ticket sales, cross-county promotion, speakers, and sponsorships. Counties are instructed to plan their next event based on the guidance.
Poverty is defined as the lack of income and resources to meet basic needs. The World Bank estimated 1.29 billion people lived in absolute poverty in 2008, with over 400 million in India and 173 million in China. Poverty can be caused by lack of education, which limits job opportunities, or from spending beyond one's means and accumulating debt. The organization CARE works to alleviate poverty through emergency relief, increasing economic opportunities like microloans and job training, and improving access to clean water and sanitation. Poverty in other countries can negatively impact global trade and resources if disasters strike economies that supply important goods worldwide.
