RESUMO
The continuous development in telecommunication tech-nologies has created opportunities for health professionals to optimise healthcare delivery by adopting digital tools into rehabilitation programs (i.e., telerehabilitation). These tech-nological advances, along with the demographic and social characteristics of each country, have made the implementa-tion of telerehabilitation a disparate process across regions. We have gathered the experience of four countries (Australia, Chile, Brazil, and Colombia) in two different regions (Ocea-nia and South America) to recompile the history pre- and post-Covid-19 outbreak until January of 2021, the barriers to, and facilitators of telerehabilitation, and outline the future challenges for these countries.

The contribution of Image-guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) to modern radiotherapy is undeniable, being the way to bring into daily practice the dosimetric benefits of Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT). Organ and target motion is constant and unpredictable at the pelvis, thus posing a challenge to the safe execution of IMRT. There are potential benefits of IMRT in the radical treatment of cervical cancer patients, both in terms of dose escalation and decrease of toxicity. But it is essential to find IGRT solutions to control the aspects that can lead to geographic miss targeting or organs at risk (OAR) overdose. This review seeks to describe the problems and possible solutions in the clinical implementation of IMRT/IGRT protocols to treat intact cervical cancer patients.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: Undifferentiated uterine sarcomas (UUS) are rare and aggressive tumor with scarce data on the outcome and best treatment. We aimed to describe the behavior among patients with UUS at our institution. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirteen patients with UUS treated in our centre from 1979 to 2010 were analyzed. STATISTICS: descriptive analysis for frequencies and Kaplan-Meier actuarial method for overall survival (OS). RESULTS: Patients mean age was 66 years. Three had FIGO 2009 stage IA, five IB, two IIB, and three IVB. Ten patients underwent surgery and eight received postoperative radiotherapy. Three patients received adjuvant chemotherapy. The median follow-up was 16 months (2-276 months). Stage I patients developed two local relapses and three distant metastases (DM). DM was also observed in stage II patients and in 61.5 % of the entire series. Fifty percent of patients receiving radiotherapy remain alive without relapse. The median OS was 16 months, being 17 months for stage I and 9 for the remainder. CONCLUSIONS: Poor outcome of UUS was associated with a high incidence of DM. Stage I had the best outcome. Radiotherapy seems to have benefited patients, with 100 % of local control and 50 % of long-term survivors. The high incidence of metastasis suggests the need for more accurate initial assessment.

PURPOSE: To analyse the impact of prognostic factors on specific overall survival (SOS) after postoperative radiotherapy (P-RT) in carcinosarcomas. METHODS: We retrospectively analysed 81 patients who received P-RT from 1977 to 2010 after the diagnosis of carcinosarcomas. 2009 FIGO stage: 25-IA, 20-IB, 6-II, 9-IIIA, 11-IIIC. Age, stage, vascular and lymphatic space invasion (VLSI), myometrial invasion, grade, mitotic index, sarcomatous/epithelial components, tumour size and necrosis were considered for the analysis. STATISTICS: we used the Kaplan-Meier method for survival analysis and the Cox model for risk factor evaluation. RESULTS: The mean follow-up of the series was 78.86 months (range 7-381). The median age was 72 years (range 51-89). 30 out 81 (37 %) patients relapsed and died (22.2 % pelvic and abdominal, 13.5 % exclusive distant metastasis). On univariate and multivariate analysis only stage had a significant impact on SOS. At 5 years, stage I-II had a SOS of 66 % in comparison with stage III with 30 %. CONCLUSIONS: Two groups of patients showing different outcome were found after P-RT in uterine carcinosarcomas: stage I-II patients had a life expectancy 2.5-fold longer compared to stage III patients. New therapeutic strategies are warranted in carcinosarcomas considering the high incidence of distant metastasis.

BACKGROUND: The aim of our study is to evaluate the correlation between gynecological examination and magnetic resonance (MRI) findings for the assessment of local response in cervical cancer patients treated with radiotherapy/chemotherapy (RT/ChT). PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study is a retrospective review of 75 consecutive cervical cancer patients from April 2004 to November 2009 treated with RT/ChT. Clinical and radiological data were subsequently analyzed. Patient's median age was 51 with a FIGO stage from Ib to IVb. Individualized RT/ChT was administered with a median dose of 45 Gy. Sixty-three patients received a complementary brachytherapy. Seventy-one patients received chemotherapy on a weekly basis. Gynecological exam was performed 3 months and 6 months after treatment and these findings were compared to MRI results at the same time. STATISTIC ANALYSIS: We used the Spearman's Rho test to determine the correlation level between the clinical and radiological methods. RESULTS: A correlation of 0.68 (60%) was observed between the clinical and MRI findings at 3 months with a further increase of up to 0.86 (82.6%) at 6 months. In the few cases with a poor correlation, the subsequent assessment and the natural history of the disease showed a greater value of the clinical exam as compared with the MRI findings. CONCLUSIONS: Physical exam remains an essential tool to evaluate the local response to RT/ChT for cervical cancer. The optimal clinical radiological correlation found at 6 months after treatment suggests that the combination of gynecological examination and MRI are probably adequate in patient monitoring.
RESUMO
Background: The paper describes lead ion adsorption on variable charge oxidic calcined substrates with chemically modified surfaces. Amphoteric oxides of iron, aluminum, titanium, and manganese, change their surface electric charge after acid or alkaline treatment, letting cationic or anionic adsorption reactions from aqueous solutions. This property allows using them as adsorbing substrate for heavy metals retention in water treatment systems. Methods: Substrate was prepared by extruding cylindrical strips from a saturate paste of the oxidic lithological material-OLM; dries it up and thermally treated by calcination. The study was performed by triplicated trial, on batch mode, using 2 grams samples of treated with NaOH 0.1N and non-treated substrate. Lead analysis was performed by AAS-GF. Freundlich and Langmuir models were used to fit results. Comparing differential behavior between treated and non-treated substrates showed the variable charge nature of the OLM. Results: Results show L-type isotherms for the adsorption of Pb(II) ions on the activated substrate, suggesting good affinity between Pb(II) ions and OLM's surface. Average value of adsorption capacity ( K) for activated substrate (1791.73±13.06), is around four times greater than the non-activated substrate (491.54±31.97), during the adsorption reaction, 0.35 and 0.26 mmolH + of proton are produced on the activated and non-activated substrate respectively using a 1 mM Pb(II) solution and 72.2 and 15.6 mmolH + using a 10 mM Pb(II) solution. This acidification agrees with the theoretic model of transitional metals chemisorption on amphoteric oxides, present in lithological material used for the preparation of adsorbent substrates, confirming the information given by the L-type isotherms. Conclusions: Results suggest that these variable charge oxidic adsorbent substrate show great potential as an alternative technique for water treatment at small and medium scale using granular filtration system. The easiness and low price make them suitable to apply in rural media where no treating water systems is available.

Edge artificial intelligence (AI) is receiving a tremendous amount of interest from the machine learning community due to the ever-increasing popularization of the Internet of Things (IoT). Unfortunately, the incorporation of AI characteristics to edge computing devices presents the drawbacks of being power and area hungry for typical deep learning techniques such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs). In this work, we propose a power-and-area efficient architecture based on the exploitation of the correlation phenomenon in stochastic computing (SC) systems. The proposed architecture solves the challenges that a CNN implementation with SC (SC-CNN) may present, such as the high resources used in binary-to-stochastic conversion, the inaccuracy produced by undesired correlation between signals, and the complexity of the stochastic maximum function implementation. To prove that our architecture meets the requirements of edge intelligence realization, we embed a fully parallel CNN in a single field-programmable gate array (FPGA) chip. The results obtained showed a better performance than traditional binary logic and other SC implementations. In addition, we performed a full VLSI synthesis of the proposed design, showing that it presents better overall characteristics than other recently published VLSI architectures.

PURPOSE: To analyze vaginal-cuff relapses (VCR) and toxicity of two brachytherapy (BT) schedules in postoperative endometrial carcinoma and to correlate vaginal toxicity with vaginal-surface-EQD2Gy3 dose (VS-EQD2Gy3). METHODS/MATERIALS: 319 patients (p) I-IIIC-Figo-stage were treated with 2 BT schedules. One schedule included 166p (Group-1) to whom 3 fractions (Fr) of 4-6Gy per week (w) of BT were administered after external beam radiotherapy (EBI) (125p) and 6Fr/2w of 4-6Gy in exclusive-BT (41p). The second schedule included 153p (Group-2) with BT administered daily with 2Fr/w of 5-6Gy after EBI (94p) and 5-6Gy/4Fr/w in exclusive-BT (59p). Doses were prescribed at 5mm from the vaginal surface. Toxicity was evaluated using RTOG scores for the rectum and bladder and objective LENT-SOMA scores for the vagina. STATISTICS: Chi-square, Fisher and Student's-t tests. RESULTS: Mean follow-up (months): Group-1: 66.55 (7.73-115.40), Group-2: 41.49 (3.13-87.90). VCR: Group-1: 3p (1.88%); Group-2: 2p (1.3%). No differences were found between the two schedules comparing rectal (p=0.170), bladder (p=0.125) and vagina (p=0.680) late toxicities and comparing vagina EBI+BTp vs. exclusive-BTp (p=0.667). Significant differences in VS-EQD23Gy were observed considering EBI+BT (Groups 1+2) vs. exclusive-BT (Groups 1+2) (p<0.0001); nevertheless, no association was found between VS-EQD23Gy and vaginal complications. CONCLUSIONS: No differences were found between the two schedules. No association was found between vaginal toxicity and VS-EQD23Gy. Consequently, treatment with the least number of fractions is preferable.

Resumen El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la efectividad de la Fisioterapia en la inhibición muscular artrogénica. Se realizaron búsquedas en las bases PEDro, Embase, Scielo y PubMed para identificar ensayos controlados aleatorios (ECA) de intervenciones de Fisioterapia en la inhibición muscular artrogénica. La literatura incluyo referencias en inglés, español y portugués, publicados entre Enero de 2000 y Junio de 2017. Se identificaron 7 ensayos clínicos que se incluyeron en esta revisión y 4 Revisiones Sistemáticas/Meta-análisis. Se realizó una evaluación crítica de la literatura y se procesó una descripción narrativa debido al pequeño número de ECA. La evidencia muestra que la intervención fisioterapéutica puede ser beneficiosa para el manejo de la inhibición muscular artrogénica, sin embargo, el resultado de baja calidad de la evaluación crítica y el pequeño número de ensayos sugieren que se requieren ECA de alta calidad para examinar más a fondo los efectos de la intervención fisioterapéutica en el control de la inhibición muscular artrogénica.
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of physiotherapy in arthrogenic muscle inhibition. We searched the PEDro, Embase, Scielo and PubMed databases to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of physiotherapy interventions in arthrogenic muscle inhibition. The literature included references in English, Spanish and Portuguese, published between January 2000 and June 2017. We identified 7 clinical trials and 4 Systematic Review/Meta-analysis that were included in this review. A critical evaluation of the literature was made and a narrative description was processed due to the small number of RCTs. Evidence shows that physiotherapeutic intervention may be beneficial for the management of arthrogenic muscle inhibition, however, the low quality result of the critical evaluation and the small number of trials suggest that high quality RCTs are required to further examine the effects of physiotherapeutic intervention in the control of arthrogenic muscle inhibition.

Las condiciones ergonómicas de mobiliario y de equipos, como también la postura incorrecta al estar en posición sedente, de pie o cargando algún peso pueden generar dolores o complicaciones osteomusculares. Dentro de estas, la cabeza hacia adelante es una alteración común detectada en la evaluación postural realizada por los fisioterapeutas. Esta suele asociarse a cambios mecánicos del cuello y columna vertebral, los cuales alteran la funcionalidad de los individuos, causándole discapacidad pues compromete el movimiento de hombros, la movilidad de la articulación temporomandibular, la mecánica respiratoria, desarrollando imbalances musculares, mareos, disfunción vestibular, aumenta el riesgo de fracturas y se asocia con procesos dolorosos como la cervicalgia, dorsalgia y lumbalgia. Por tanto el siguiente artículo tiene por objetivo revisar la fisiopatogénia de la cabeza hacia adelante, desde una perspectiva biomecánica, analizando las implicaciones de esta alteración postural sobre el movimiento corporal humano, proporcionando así herramientas de análisis para el abordaje fisioterapéutico.
The ergonomics of furniture and equipment, as well as improper posture when in a sitting position, standing or carrying some weight can cause pain or musculoskeletal complications. Within these, the forward head is a common alteration detected in the postural assessment by physiotherapists. This is often associated with mechanical changes of the neck and spine, which alters the functionality of individuals, causing disability movement as committed shoulders, temporomandibular joint mobility, respiratory mechanics, developing muscle imbalances, dizziness, vestibular dysfunction, increases the risk of fractures and is associated with painful conditions such as neck pain, dorsal pain and back pain. So the following article is intended to review the pathophysiology of forward head, from a biomechanical perspective, analyzing the implications of this postural change on human body movement, providing analysis tools for addressing physiotherapy.
RESUMO
Los programas de ejercicio terapéutico son una modalidad de intervención propuestas por orga-nismos internacionales y nacionales. Le permiten al fisioterapeuta manejar conceptos básicos del ejercicio dirigidos a nivel individual o colectivo para intervenir limitaciones funcionales o restric-ciones en los roles de los individuos. El profesional debe conocer los aspectos básicos a tener en cuenta para elegir y diseñar programas de ejercicio acordes a los objetivos terapéuticos derivados de su evaluación. En este artículo se revisaron las pautas generales sobre la óptima prescripción del ejercicio terapéutico, partiendo de los conceptos esenciales, hasta la elaboración de progra-mas de tratamiento con los elementos a tener en cuenta al momento de escoger, plantear y su-pervisar ejercicios para individuos y comunidades con patologías que presenten compromisos del movimiento corporal humano, buscando intervenciones costo efectivas dirigidas a mejorar la capacidad funcional y calidad de vida de los pacientes/clientes a quienes se dirigen
Therapeutic exercise programs are a form of intervention proposed by international and national bodies, which allows the therapist to handle basic exercise concepts of targeted individually or co-llectively to intervene functional limitations or restrictions on the individual's roles. To do, this pro-fessional must know the basics for choosing and designing exercise programs chords to therapeutic targets derived from its evaluation. The following paper seeks to review the general guidelines on the optimal prescription of therapeutic exercise, based on the essential concepts to the development of treatment programs with elements to consider when choosing, raising and monitoring exercises for individuals and communities with pathologies that submit commitments of human body mo-vement, looking for cost-effective interventions to improve functional capacity and quality of life of patients / clients to whom they are addressed

Todas as características da dor diminuíram e segundo o S-FIQ houve diminuição no cansaço matutino, a rigidez e a ansiedade. Também os MET/minutos-semanas aumentaram depois da intervenção. Conclusão: estes dados sugerem que o programa de treinamento funcional de músculos do core é eficaz no aumento da força muscular, a modulação da dor, a optimização do rendimento funcional, assim como o aumento dos níveis de atividade física em mulheres com fibromialgia.
