ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective the aim of this study was to analyze the influence of ozone therapy (OZN) on peri-implant bone repair in critical bones by installing osseointegrated implants in the tibia of ovariectomized rats. Methodology ovariectomy was performed on 30 Wistar rats, aged six months (Rattus novergicus), and, after 90 days, osseointegrated implants were installed in each tibial metaphysis. The study groups were divided into the animals that received intraperitoneal ozone at a concentration of 700 mcg/kg — OZ Group (n=15) — and a control group that received an intraperitoneal saline solution and, for this reason, was named the SAL group (n=15). The applications for both groups occurred during the immediate post-operative period on the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th day post-surgery. At various stages (14, 42, and 60 days), the animals were euthanized, and tests were performed on their tibiae. These tests include histomorphometric and immunohistochemical analyses, computerized microtomography, sampling in light-cured resin for calcified sections, and confocal microscopy. The obtained data were then analyzed using One-way ANOVA and the Shapiro-Wilk, Kruskal-Wallis, and student t-tests (P<0.05). Results our findings indicate that the OZ group (3.26±0.20 mm) showed better cellular organization and bone neoformation at 14 days (SAL group, 0.90±1.42 mm) (P=0.001). Immunohistochemistry revealed that osteocalcin labeling was moderate in the OZ group and mild in the SAL group at 14 and 42 days post-surgery. The data from the analysis of calcified tissues (microtomography, histometric, and bone dynamism analysis) at 60 days showed no statistically significant differences between the groups (P=0.32). Conclusion it was concluded that ozone therapy anticipated the initial phases of the peri-implant bone repair process.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Estimar os principais custos indiretos da insuficiência cardíaca (IC) na população brasileira, sobre o sistema de saúde, o custo previdenciário e o quanto se perde em produtividade pelas complicações da doença. Métodos: Estudo ecológico desenvolvido com dados secundários, para a série histórica de 2018 a 2021, minerados do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (Datasus), do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), e indicadores previdenciários coletados da Previdência Social e Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social (INSS). Resultados: Foram registrados 77.290 óbitos por IC no Brasil para o período, distribuídos uniformemente em relação ao sexo. A taxa de mortalidade foi diversificada entre as regiões brasileiras, com ênfase para Sudeste e Nordeste. As projeções indicam um gasto total de mais de R$ 1 bilhão com hospitalizações, com custo médio hospitalar de R$ 1.725,27 por pessoa. O custo médio por internação ultrapassou os R$ 2 bilhões de reais. Aproximadamente 3% das despesas federais são destinadas a pagamentos de benefícios relacionados a IC. Do total de afastamentos, 65% correspondem a homens e 35%, a mulheres, com custos que podem chegar a R$ 6 bilhões perdidos por ano. Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem um aumento do afastamento de portadores de IC da força de trabalho, o que acarreta maiores dispêndios para o sistema de saúde e pagamentos de benefícios previdenciários, como auxílio-doença e aposentadoria por incapacidade de longa duração. Este é o primeiro estudo que estima e correlaciona os dados socioepidemiológicos e os custos de saúde e previdenciários da IC no Brasil.


Objective: To estimate the main indirect costs of heart failure (HF) in the Brazilian population, on the health system, social security cost, and how much is lost in productivity due to the complications of the disease. Methods: Ecological study developed with secondary data, for the historical series from 2018 to 2021, mined from the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (Datasus), from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), and social security indicators collected from Social Security and the National Social Security Institute (INSS). Results: There were 77,290 deaths from HF in Brazil for the period, evenly distributed according to sex. The mortality rate was diversified among Brazilian regions, with emphasis on the Southeast and Northeast. Projections indicate a total expenditure of more than BRL 1 billion with hospitalizations, with an average hospital cost of BRL 1,725.27 per person. The average cost per hospitalization exceeded BRL 2 billion. Approximately 3% of federal expenditures are earmarked for IC benefit payments. Of the total number of absences, 65% correspond to men and 35% to women, with costs that can reach R$ 6 billion lost per year. Conclusion: The results suggest an increase in the removal of HF patients from the workforce, which leads to higher expenditures for the health system and payments of social security benefits, such as sick pay and retirement due to long-term disability. This is the first study that estimates and correlates socio-epidemiological data, health and social security costs of HF in Brazil.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this trial was to assess the influence of homeopathy products on the diet of quails based on egg quality when submitted to different storage periods. Methodology: Two hundred, 45 day old Japanese quails and 80% of production were used, in a completely randomized design comprised of a 4x3 factorial, and 4 diets (basal feed, inert vehicle and 2 homeopathic products: Fertsigo® (Sulphur10 CH, Sepia 15CH ) and Ovosigo® (Belladonna 12CH,Silicea 12 CH, Natrum mur. 30CH, Calcarea phos. 30CH, Sulphur 12CH) and 3 storage periods (0 days, 7 days and 14 days) with ten repetitions of three eggs per treatment. The weight, percentages of yoke, albumen and shell, albumen height and yolk color, specific gravity, Haugh unit, yolk index and shell thickness were evaluated. The data were submitted to variance analysis to verify whether there was a interaction effect between homeopathy factors and storage time, and when absent, the isolated effects. Results: An interaction between the homeopathic products and time was found for the parameters of albumen height and yolk, Haugh unit and yolk index, which reduced over time. For egg weight, yolk, albumen and shell, a significant effect (p<0.05) was found only in the case of homeopathy for the percentages of albumen and shell. For egg and albumen weights, yolk and albumen percentages, specific gravity and colorimetry there was an effect for time, however these parameters reduced over the storage time in days. The addition of the homeopathic based products Ovosigo® and FertSigo® are indicated for the diets of Japanese quail during the laying phase since it resulted in better weights for the egg and its components. Conclusion: The different homeopathic products did not have an influence on conserving the quality of the Japanese quail eggs during the periods evaluated.

ABSTRACT

Homeopathy is a technique approved by the MAPA for organic production systems. Experiments demonstrating the effectiveness of homeopathy in agriculture are essential. Aims: To evaluate the effects of homeopathic treatment on soybean seed germination. Methodology: The experiment was performed in MS-Brazil. An area of 70 m² was used, divided into two comparison plots of 30 m² each. The soil of plot 1 (treated group) was treated with 5.25 kg of powdered Lithothamniummixed with 250 ml of 30% hydroalcoholic solution (HS) containing homeopathic ingredients. The soil of plot 2 (control group) was treated with thesame preparationbutwithout homeopathic ingredients. Additionally, the 400 seeds assigned toplot 1 were treated with 0,3 ml of a solution made up of 10 ml of 30% HS with homeopathic ingredients dilutedin 300 ml of water. The 400 seeds assigned toplot 2 were treated with 0.3 ml of a solutionmade up of 10 ml of HS without homeopathic ingredients diluted in 300 ml of water. The homeopathic ingredients Sulph 9C, Mag-c12C, and Calc-p 9C were used on soil and seed treatment. The selection and prescription of those ingredients followed Materia Medica instructions. The experiment was conducted using randomized design and 400 seeds per group were sown. Results and discussion: In plot 1, anaverage of 11 seeds per m² germinated, adding up to 330 germinated seeds at a percentage of 82.5%. In plot 2, an average of 7 seeds per m² germinated, adding up to 210 germinated seeds at a percentage of 52.5%. The frequency of seed germinationin both groups was assessed by the Chi-square test to check for significant differences(p<0.05). There was a statistical difference (p<0.05) in the seed germination in the treated group (n=330) compared to the control group (n=210). Conclusion:Homeopathic compounds can be used as a viable treatment for soybean germination.

ABSTRACT

The use of pesticides is damaging to the health of farmers and consumers as their use is associated with numerous diseases. Homeopathy is one of the techniques for organic agriculture currentlyauthorized by the MAPA. Aims: To assess the effect of homeopathic compounds on corncob quality in pesticide-free cultures. Methodology:The experiment was performed in, MS-Brazil. Two culture fields were used, each 30m2in size. The homeopathic group treatment consisted of 1ml of30% hydroalcoholic solution with homeopathic ingredients. This solutionwas diluted into 30ml of water and then sprayed onto 100 seeds. The control group was submitted to the same protocol excluding the homeopathic ingredients. The homeopathic ingredients used were Sulph9C, Mag-c12C, and Calc-p9C, prescribed according to Materia Medica instructions. The evaluationwas performed at harvest by comparing theaverage weight of 1000 kernels pergroup, obtained from a weighingof 3000 kernels per group. In addition, a number of corncobs from both groups werequalitatively evaluated as "good" or "bad." Statistics analysis used the T-test to compare the kernel weight averages and Fisher's exact test to analyze the corncob quality frequency. Both groups were naturally infected by a virus from a neighboring sugarcane field, causing qualitative and quantitative losses on both groups. Results and discussion: The average weight of 1000 kernels from the treated group (329 g) was not significantly greater (p=0.06) than the average weight of 1000 kernels from the non-treated group (308 g). It was observed that 71out of 158 (44.9%) corncobs from the homeopathic treatment group were classified as "good" while zero outof 50 (0%) corncobs from the non-treated group were classified as "good", resulting in a significant difference (p<0.01). Conclusion: Homeopathic compounds can be used as a feasible treatment for health and productivity in the corn crop.

ABSTRACT

The negative impact of Rhipicephalus microplusinfestations on cattle farming is well-known. The main control method is the use of ixodicides, which have as side effects environmental contamination, the selection of resistant lineages, and toxicity. Their use is also prohibited in systems that produce organic and agroecological food. Such factors reinforce the importance of strengthening researchrelated to the application of homeopathic principles in animal production. Aim: In this setting, this work aimed at assessing the efficacy of the homeopathic therapy to control Rhipicephalus microplusticks in dairy cattle. Methodology: 63 crossbred and Girolando breed cows, 1 and 9 years of age, naturally infested by ticks and created under a semi-intensive system in three farms (1, 2,and 3) were assayed. The animals were divided into three control groups and three treated groups, using the drug product EndectoSigo® (Psorinum12 CH, Sulphur 12CH, Ledum palustre12 CH, Cina12 CH e Apis mell.7CH) at a dose of 10 g/animal/day added to mineral and/or food supplement. The visual counting of teleogines with the size equal to or higher than four millimeters indiameter was performed in the neck or udder area of the animal. Pluviometry and registration of ixodicide baths were performed as well.The means obtained were compared by using ANOVA test and Tukey's test. Results: The mean number of teleogines on farm 1was significantly lower (p<0.05) in the treatment group. As for farms 2 and 3, there was no statistical difference between the groups (treated and control); however, it was observed that two ixodicide baths were required in the control group (farm 2). Thepluviometry did not interfere with the manifestation. Conclusion: It was concluded that the homeopathic treatment has the efficacy required to control this tick in cattle and can be an alternative to the use of chemical ixodicides.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Os cuidados paliativos visam proporcionar qualidade de vida ao paciente e à família, buscando atenuar problemas e sintomas, com foco em aliviar sofrimento. A equipe de enfermagem participa amplamente destes cuidados, que podem sobrecarregar emocionalmente o profissional. Portanto, este estudo buscou esclarecer os sentimentos de profissionais da enfermagem que atuam nesta área. Trata-se de estudo descritivo, qualitativo e de caráter exploratório, utilizando roteiro semiestruturado como instrumento de coleta de dados. Participaram do estudo dez profissionais da equipe de enfermagem do setor de cuidados paliativos de um hospital. Observou-se sobrecarga emocional nos entrevistados e dificuldades em lidar com alguns sentimentos. Percebeu-se a carência de estratégias que amenizem estas sobrecargas no ambiente de trabalho e da abordagem da paliatividade nos currículos de saúde. Alguns sentimentos descritos pelos entrevistados foram difíceis de administrar, principalmente por profissionais menos experientes.


Abstract Palliative care aims to provide quality of life for patients and family, seeking to alleviate problems and symptoms, focusing on relieving suffering. The nursing team extensively participates in this care, which can emotionally overload the professional. Hence, this descriptive, qualitative, and exploratory study sought to clarify the feelings of nursing professionals working in palliative care. Data was collected by a semi-structured script applied to ten nursing professionals from the palliative care sector of a hospital. Emotional overload and difficulties in addressing certain feelings were observed in the interviewees. Results show a lack of strategies to mitigate these overloads in the work environment and the lack of palliative care in the health curricula. Some of the feelings described were difficult to manage, especially by less experienced professionals.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction Femoral fractures are a major cause of morbidity and mortality, mainly among older people. Objective To examine the effect of seasonality on hospitalizations due to femur fracture among people residing in the Rio Grande do Sul state, southern Brazil, from 2008 to 2019. Methods Ecological study based on secondary data from the SUS Hospital Information System (SIH/SUS). A total of 74,374 reports of hospital admissions was considered. The generalized additive model (GAM) approach was employed to assess the seasonality of the time series, with stratification by sex and age groups and considering the monthly average number of events of femoral fractures per day as a dependent variable. Results A considerably higher incidence of femoral fractures in women aged 70 years or more was described. Among people aged less than 50 years, there is not an apparent seasonal effect. Men aged 70 years or older and women aged 50 years or older have a higher frequency of hospitalizations due to femur fractures in the colder months. Conclusion Among older people, more femoral fractures occurred during the winter compared to summer. This supports findings from other studies, although reasons for this seasonal variation are uncertain. The knowledge of these seasonal variations can help to plan the health care in the public health system.


Resumo Introdução As fraturas de fêmur são uma das causas principais de morbidade e mortalidade, principalmente entre as pessoas idosas. Objetivo Examinar o efeito da sazonalidade nas hospitalizações devido à fratura do fêmur entre residentes do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, sul do Brasil, de 2008 a 2019. Métodos Trata-se de um estudo ecológico baseado em dados secundários do Sistema de Informação Hospitalar do SUS (SIH/SUS). Um total de 74.374 relatórios de internações hospitalares foi considerado. O modelo aditivo generalizado (GAM) foi usado para avaliar a sazonalidade da série temporal, com estratificação por sexo e grupos etários e considerando a média mensal de eventos de fraturas do fêmur por dia como uma variável dependente. Resultados Descreveu-se uma incidência consideravelmente maior de fraturas do fêmur em mulheres com 70 anos de idade ou mais. Entre as pessoas com menos de 50 anos de idade, não há um efeito sazonal aparente. Homens com idade de 70 anos ou mais e mulheres com 50 anos ou mais têm maior frequência de hospitalizações devido a fraturas do fêmur nos meses mais frios. Conclusão Entre as pessoas mais idosas, as fraturas do fêmur ocorreram mais frequentemente durante o inverno em comparação ao verão. Isto reafirma os resultados de outros estudos, embora as razões para esta variação sazonal sejam incertas. O conhecimento destas variações sazonais pode ajudar no planejamento da assistência médica no sistema público de saúde.

ABSTRACT

O presente estudo pretende estabelecer um olhar sobre a velhice e o envelhecimento, por meio de uma investigação crítica a partir de suas imagens e representações sociais; o laço social, suas vias de efetivação e esgotamento diante dos oferecimentos disponíveis na sociedade, assim como suas implicações em dar sentido à experiência vital; contrastando direitos sociais legislados versus sua real efetivação. Pretende, portanto, estabelecer uma discussão sobre questões acerca de ser velho, da velhice; seus sentidos e tendências, levando em conta as transformações demográficas do Brasil. No desenvolvimento do trabalho foi elaborado um breve histórico sobre as imagens associadas à velhice em diversas épocas, apresentando como ponto de inflexão as mudanças radicais do processo produtivo a partir da modernidade, que possibilitaram a maior longevidade e, consequentemente, a consolidação de uma população de idosos cada vez mais significativa. A pesquisa permite evidenciar que, apesar de tratar-se de uma parcela cada vez mais expressiva da população, principalmente a partir da segunda metade do século XX, o envelhecimento populacional vem sendo considerado de modo insuficiente quanto à sua complexidade e fatores psicossociais, permanecendo fora das agendas políticas. Prevalece uma visão economicista quanto às políticas públicas, assim como o etarismo naturalizado é característica do setor privado, apesar de estratégias midiáticas "inclusivas". Para o desenvolvimento do trabalho estabeleceu-se o diálogo entre literatura, mídia, legislação sobre a pessoa idosa e a teoria psicanalítica freudiana, de maneira ampliada, utilizando uma abordagem metodológica qualitativa por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, com o propósito de levantar imagens e traços de identificação que relacionem envelhecimento, velhice e cultura, positiva ou negativamente, tecendo críticas que permitam reflexões sobre o presente assim como tendências para o futuro.


The present study intents to discuss aging and old age by critically investigating its images and social representations. It takes into account the social bond, its ways of effectiveness and failure before the offerings available in society, as well as its implications in giving meaning to the life experience. In addition, it contrasts legislated social rights versus their real effectiveness. It intends, therefore, to establish a discussion about questions of being old and old aging, their meanings and trends, taking into consideration the demographic transformations of Brazil. In the development of this study, a brief history was elaborated about the images associated with old age in several historical periods, presenting as a point of inflection the radical changes of the productive process from modernity, which allowed today's longevity and, consequently, the consolidation of an increasingly significant elderly population. The study shows that despite old age being an increasingly substantial portion of the population, aging has been disregarded for its complexity and psychosocial factors, remaining outside of political agenda, mainly from the second half of the twentieth century on. The economic constraint is the prevailing view for public policies, just as naturalized etarism is characteristic of the private sector, despite "inclusive" media strategies. In the development of this study, it was established the dialogue between literature, media, the older person's law, and freudian psychoanalytic theory. This study is based on a qualitative methodological approach in bibliographic research to raise images and identity traits that relate to aging, old age, and culture, positively or negatively, making criticisms that allow reflections on the present and future trends.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background There is a spectrum of possibilities for analyzing muscle O2 resaturation parameters for measurement of reactive hyperemia in microvasculature. However, there is no consensus with respect to the responsiveness of these O2 resaturation parameters for assessing reactive hyperemia. Objectives This study investigates the responsiveness of the most utilized muscle O2 resaturation parameters to assess reactive hyperemia in the microvasculature of a clinical group known to exhibit impairments of tissue O2 saturation (StO2). Methods Twenty-three healthy young adults, twenty-nine healthy older adults, and thirty-five older adults at risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) were recruited. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to assess StO2 after a 5-min arterial occlusion challenge and the following parameters were analyzed: StO2slope_10s, StO2slope_30s, and StO2slope_until_baseline (upslope of StO2 over 10s and 30s and until StO2 reaches the baseline value); time to StO2baseline and time to StO2max (time taken for StO2 to reach baseline and peak values, respectively); ∆StO2reperfusion (the difference between minimum and maximum StO2 values); total area under the curve (StO2AUCt); and AUC above the baseline value (StO2AUC_above_base). Results Only StO2slope_10s was significantly slower in older adults at risk for CVD compared to healthy young individuals (p < 0.001) and to healthy older adults (p < 0.001). Conversely, time to StO2max was significantly longer in healthy young individuals than in older adult at CVD risk. Conclusions Our findings suggest that StO2slope_10s may be a measure of reactive hyperemia, which provides clinical insight into microvascular function assessment.


Resumo Contexto Existe um espectro de possibilidades na análise dos parâmetros de ressaturação de O2 muscular como uma medida de hiperemia reativa na microvasculatura. No entanto, não há consenso com relação à responsividade desses parâmetros de ressaturação de O2 para avaliação de hiperemia reativa. Objetivos Este estudo investigou a capacidade de resposta dos parâmetros de ressaturação muscular de O2 mais utilizados para avaliar a hiperemia reativa na microvasculatura de um grupo clínico conhecido por apresentar comprometimento da saturação de O2 (StO2). Métodos Foram recrutados 23 jovens saudáveis, 29 idosos saudáveis e 35 idosos com risco para doença cardiovascular. A espectroscopia no infravermelho próximo foi usada para avaliar a StO2 após um teste de oclusão arterial de 5 minutos, no qual os seguintes parâmetros foram analisados: StO2slope_10s, StO2slope_30s e StO2slope_until_baseline (inclinação da StO2 em 10 s, 30 s e até StO2 atingir valores basais); tempo para StO2baseline e tempo para StO2máx (o tempo necessário para StO2 atingir os valores da linha de base e o máximo, respectivamente); ∆StO2reperfusão (a diferença entre o valor de StO2mínimo e StO2máximo); área total sob a curva (StO2AUCt); e área sob a curva acima do valor da linha de base (StO2AUC_above_base). Resultados Apenas StO2slope_10s foi significativamente mais lento em idosos em risco de doença cardiovascular comparados com indivíduos jovens saudáveis (p < 0,001) e idosos saudáveis (p < 0,001). Por outro lado, o tempo para StO2max foi significativamente maior em indivíduos jovens saudáveis do que em idosos em risco de doença cardiovascular. Conclusões Nossos achados sugerem que StO2slope_10s pode ser uma medida de hiperemia reativa, que fornece informações clínicas sobre a avaliação da função microvascular.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O desperdício é um grande problema enfrentado pelo Brasil, em função dos hábitos alimentares, sendo o aproveitamento de cascas de frutas, folhas e talos de hortaliças ainda baixo. Sabe-se, no entanto, que a utilização dessas partes tradicionalmente não aproveitadas pode contribuir para a produção de alimentos mais saudáveis, nutritivos e com menor impacto negativo para o meio ambiente. Objetivo: Aproveitar os vegetais na sua forma integral ou de suas partes alimentícias não convencionais, e caracterizar as farinhas obtidas, com vistas à alimentação humana. Métodos: As farinhas foram obtidas de banana verdes (casca e polpa), casca de tangerina, casca e polpa de berinjela e bagaço de uva oriundo da produção de suco de uva, que foram secas em estufa ventilada a 40°C por 48 horas. Foram realizadas análises físico-químicas e microbiológicas. Resultados: As farinhas apresentaram alto teor de fibras (17,7 a 48,94 g/100g) e compostos fenólicos (778,81 a 2708,11 mg EAG/100g), e baixo teor de lipídeos (0,70 a 3,40 g/100g). Para a quantidade de proteínas, a farinha de berinjela foi a que mais se destacou (13,81 g/100g), podendo ser uma alternativa aos indivíduos que não consomem produtos de origem animal. Conclusões: Todas as farinhas são seguras do ponto de vista microbiológico, de acordo com a legislação vigente, e portanto, podem ser utilizadas na alimentação humana para aumentar o aporte de nutrientes e diminuir os impactos da poluição, contribuindo para a manutenção do meio ambiente e gerando renda. (AU)


Introduction: Waste is a great problem faced by Brazil, due to dietary habits, with a low use of fruit peels, leaves and stems of vegetables. However, it is known that the use of these parts traditionally not used can contribute to the production of healthier and more nutritious food with less negative impact on the environment. Objective: Take advantage of vegetables in their entirety or from their non-conventional food parts, and to characterize the flours obtained, for human consumption. Methods: Flours were obtained from green bananas (peel and pulp), tangerine peel, eggplant peel and pulp and grape marc from grape juice production, which were dried in a ventilated oven at 40 ° C for 48 hours. Physical-chemical and microbiological analyzes were realized. Results: Flours showed a high fiber (17.7 to 48.94 g/100g) and phenolic compounds (778.81 to 2708.11 mg EAG/100g) content, and low lipid content (0.70 to 3.40 g/100g). For the amount of proteins, eggplant flour was the one that stood out the most (13.81g/100g), it can be an alternative to individuals who do not consume animal products. Conclusions: All flours are safe in a microbiological point of view, according to current legislation, and therefore they can be used in food to increase the supply of nutrients and reduce the impacts of pollution, contributing to the environment maintenance and income generating.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of seasonality on femoral fracture incidence among people residing in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS Ecological study based on a consecutive series of 216,348 reports of hospital admissions caused by femoral fractures. A Bayesian statistical model was used for time series analysis, considering the monthly average number of events of femoral fractures per day as a dependent variable. RESULTS Among the female population, significant seasonal effects were observed only for older women, aged 60 years or more. Among younger men (aged less than 20 years) there is not a clear seasonal effect, but among the other age groups there seems to exist a higher number of cases of femoral fractures during the coldest months of the year. CONCLUSIONS In general, more cases of fractures occur during the coldest months of the year; however, men and women have different patterns of incidence according to each age group.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Recém-nascidos prematuros e de baixo peso representam, entre a população neonatal, os grupos mais suscetíveis ao óbito. Objetivos: relacionar as faixas de peso menor ou igual a 1.500g, com o tempo de permanência nas UTI's e identificar a relação entre tempo de permanência e as complicações adquiridas durante a internação. Métodos: A pesquisa realizada é descritiva, de caráter quantitativo e de campo. Utilizou-se uma ficha de coleta de dados para preenchimento dos achados obtidos em prontuários. Foram incluídos os prontuários de recém-nascidos provenientes do centro cirúrgico ou da sala de parto (da própria instituição), com peso menor ou igual a 1.500g (de ambos os sexos). E que necessitaram de internação nas UTI's Neonatais no período de janeiro a dezembro de 2014. Resultados: Verificou-se que quanto menor o peso, menor o tempo de internação. A grande maioria dos recém-nascidos que ficaram internados apresentou algum tipo de complicação, sendo os principais relatos os de choque hipovolêmico seguido de sepse. Conclusão: A taxa de mortalidade se relacionou com o peso, tempo de permanência e uso de medicamentos e a alta desses RN revelou uma evidente relação de baixo peso e o menor tempo de internação nas UTI's com o desfecho óbito; quanto menor peso, mais recursos foram utilizados, não aumentando o tempo de permanência nas unidades e /ou diminuindo a taxa de mortalidade dos recém-nascidos. A maioria dos pacientes de baixo peso utilizou algum suporte ventilatório. Porém, o recurso não aumentou o tempo de permanência dos neonatos. (AU)


Introduction: Preterm and low birth weight infants represent the groups most susceptible to death among the neonatal population. Objectives: to relate the bands of weight less than or equal to 1,500 g, with the length of stay in the ICUs and to identify the relationship between length of stay and complications acquired during hospitalization. Methods: The research is descriptive, quantitative and field. A data collection form was used to fill out the findings obtained in medical records. The records of newborns from the surgical center or the delivery room (of the institution), weighing less than or equal to 1,500 g (of both sexes), were included. And who needed hospitalization in the Neonatal ICUs from January to December 2014. Results: It was verified that the lower the weight, the shorter the hospitalization time. The vast majority of newborns who were hospitalized presented some type of complication, being the main reports those of hypovolemic shock followed by sepsis. Conclusion: The mortality rate was related to weight, length of stay and medication use, and discharge from these NBs revealed an evident low weight ratio and the shorter ICU stay with the death outcome; and lower weight, more resources were used, not increasing the time spent in the units and / or decreasing the mortality rate of newborns. Most lowweight patients used some ventilatory support. However, the resource did not increase the length of stay of the neonates. (AU)

ABSTRACT

RESUMO O objetivo desse estudo foi verificar o efeito agudo da aplicação de vibração de corpo inteiro (VCI) sobre o impulso e sobre a força máxima de membros superiores. Vinte voluntários do sexo masculino, treinados, com idade: 23,8 ± 3,3 anos, foram submetidos a 3 sessões (uma sessão de familiarização e duas sessões de intervenção). Em cada uma das sessões de intervenção os voluntários realizaram uma contração voluntária máxima (CVM) de flexores do cotovelo sem aplicação de vibração e duas CVM com adição de vibração. Foram utilizadas 4 frequências de VCI (10, 20, 30 e 40Hz) distribuídas de maneira aleatória nas 4 CVM realizadas com vibração nas duas sessões de coleta. Os resultados encontrados mostraram que a força máxima e o impulso gerados na contração sem vibração foram significativamente maiores do que a força máxima e o impulso gerados durante a contração realizada com aplicação de VCI. Para o treinamento de força, a aplicação de VCI, nas frequências testadas na presente investigação, representou um menor estímulo de treinamento para os membros superiores, uma vez que gerou uma redução na força máxima e no impulso dos músculos flexores do cotovelo.


ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to investigate, from a protocol of maximal isometric contractions of the elbow flexors, the effect of WBV in the maximal force and of impulse in strength-trained individuals. Twenty male volunteers, age: 23.8 ± 3.3 years, performed 3 sessions (one familiarization session and two intervention session). The sessions were composed by 3 MVC of the elbows flexor muscles with 5 minute of rest between them. The first CVM was performed without vibration and the others, applying aleatory WBV with 10, 20, 30, 40Hz, and amplitude of 6mm. The results showed that the maximal force and of impulse obtained during the MVC without vibration was significantly higher than the maximal force and of impulse recorded during the application of WBV. For strength training, the application of WBV, in the adopted frequencies, was not able to generate sufficient stimulus to induce acute adaptations in muscle strength of upper limbs.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Even with all the preventive measures used in pediatric dentistry, early childhood caries is a problem faced daily in pediatric dentistry, and mainly affects the vestibular surface of the anterior teeth in children younger than 71 months. The present study reports a case of aesthetic-functional rehabilitation per formed with the help of laboratory-made strip crows and composite in a 5-year-old patient affected by multiple lesions of early childhood caries. Composite resin restorations were performed on all upper anterior teeth to restore aesthetics and function, offering a better quality of life for the child and her family. The preparation of composite resin crowns with the help of strip crowns resulted in a shorter clinical time, a better aesthetic result and the restoration of the patient's smile and self-esteem.

ABSTRACT

This study reports on a rare variation of the right internal jugular vein (IJV) identified during routine anatomic dissection of a male cadaver. The right IJV had a tributary located parallel and medially to the IJV itself. This branch of the IJV emerged between the transverse processes of the 3rd and 4th cervical vertebrae and drained into the junction between the right internal jugular and brachiocephalic veins. The present study described a rare branch of the right IJV, which is important knowledge for surgeons, in order to prevent accidental injury and bleeding during surgical procedures


O presente estudo demonstrou uma variação rara da veia jugular interna direita (VJI), identificada durante uma dissecção de rotina de um cadáver masculino. A VJI direita apresentou uma tributária localizada paralelamente e medialmente à referida veia. Essa tributária da VJI emergiu entre os processos transversos das 3ª e 4ª vértebras cervicais e drenou para a junção entre as veias jugular interna e braquiocefálica direita. O conhecimento da variação anatômica demonstrado no presente estudo é importante para os cirurgiões, a fim de prevenir lesões acidentais e sangramento durante procedimentos cirúrgicos

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Bloodstream and venous catheter-related corynebacterial infections in paediatric patients with haematological cancer were investigated from January 2003 to December 2014 at the Brazilian National Cancer Institute in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We observed that during cancer treatment, invasive corynebacterial infections occurred independent of certain factors, such as age and gender, underlying diseases and neutropenia. These infections were ssscaused by Corynebacterium amycolatum and other non-diphtherial corynebacteria. All cases presented a variable profile of susceptibility to antimicrobial agents, except to vancomycin. Targeted antibiotic therapy may contribute to catheters maintenance and support quality of treatment. Non-diphtherial corynebacteria must be recognized as agents associated with venous access infections. Our data highlight the need for the accurate identification of corynebacteria species, as well as antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Comparar diferentes métodos de avaliação nutricional em portadores de doença hepática crônica. Método: Trata-se de um estudo transversal realizado em pacientes portadores de doença hepática crônica, atendidos no Ambulatório de Nutrição e de Hepatologia do Hospital Universitário de Sergipe. Os métodos empregados para a avaliação nutricional foram o índice de massa corporal, a prega cutânea triciptal, a circunferência muscular do braço, a avaliação subjetiva global e a avaliação global do Royal Free Hospital. Resultados: Foram incluídos no estudo 49 pacientes, com média de idade de 56±13,08 anos. O método de avaliação nutricional que mais identificou (p<0,001) desnutridos foi a avaliação global do Royal Free Hospital (77,6%), seguida pela prega cutânea triciptal (49%), avaliação subjetiva global (32,7%), circunferência muscular do braço (28,6%) e índice de massa corporal (12,2%). Ao avaliar o desempenho dos métodos de avaliação comparado com grupo de pacientes cirróticos e não cirróticos, somente a prega cutânea triciptal apresentou desempenho significativo ao diagnosticar mais desnutridos no grupo de não cirróticos (p=0,05). Conclusão: Observou-se uma grande variação da prevalência de desnutrição entre os diferentes métodos. A avaliação global do Royal Free Hospital foi o método de avaliação nutricional que mais identificou desnutridos comparado aos demais.
