Phalaenopsis (Phal.) orchids including white, yellow, and purple flowers are some of the most important commercial orchids worldwide. These flowering plants can be considered to be promising sources of antioxidants since several medicinal orchids were shown to have potential antioxidant activities. The antioxidant activities and several secondary metabolite compounds of the methanolic extracts of four parts (the root, pedicel, leaf, and flower) of three hybrids of white (Phal. ‘City More’), yellow (Phal. ‘Sogo Meili’), and purple (Phal. ‘Queen Beer’) flowering orchids were investigated. Results showed that the highest levels of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b were respectively obtained in leaf extracts of white and purple orchids, whereas carotenoid showed the highest content in the flower extract of the yellow orchid. Among all tested extracts, flavonoids and anthocyanin demonstrated the highest levels in the flower extract of the purple orchid, whereas the highest level of polyphenols was observed in the flower extract of the yellow orchid. The leaf extract of the white orchid was the most effective extract with a 50% inhibitory concentration in the DPPH-scavenging activity assay, while the highest ferrous iron-chelating effect was observed in flower extracts of the yellow orchid and purple orchid, and the pedicel extract of the purple orchid. In the reducing power assay, the flower extract of the white orchid showed the most potent extract, followed by the leaf extract of the yellow orchid and the flower extract of the purple orchid. Relationships between flower colors and antioxidant activities of these orchids showed them to be potential sources of antioxidants for both medicinal use and stress-tolerance in these orchids.

Published: April 2018

Abstract Hydrocarbon reservoirs can be classified as unconventional or conventional depending on the oil and gas extraction difficulty, such as the need for high-cost technology and techniques. The hydrocarbon extraction from bituminous shale, commonly known as shale gas/oil, is performed by using the hydraulic fracturing technique in unconventional reservoirs where 95% water, 0.5% of additives and 4.5% of proppants are used. Environmental problems related to hydraulic fracturing technique and better performance/development of proppants are the current challenge faced by companies, researchers, regulatory agencies, environmentalists, governments and society. Shale gas is expected to increase USA fuel production, which triggers the development of new proppants and technologies of exploration. This paper presents a review of the definition of proppants, their types, characteristics and situation in the world market and information about manufacturers. The production of nanoscale materials such as anticorrosive and intelligent proppants besides proppants with carbon nanotubes is already carried out on a scale of tonnes per year in Belgium, Germany and Asia countries.

Resumo Este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar uma ampla caracterização de agregados reciclados (ARs) de resíduo de construção e demolição (RCD), inclusive com técnicas não convencionais, comparando-os com areia natural quartzosa. Visou também avaliar as principais características dos agregados que devem ser determinadas com vistas à dosagem de argamassas. Foram estudados três tipos de agregados: natural de rio, reciclado misto e reciclado cimentício, em granulometrias distintas. Esses agregados foram avaliados quanto à composição granulométrica (incluindo a laser), teor de material pulverulento (TMP), análise morfoscópica, absorção de água, massa unitária, massa específica e inchamento. Também foram produzidas argamassas, que foram caracterizadas quanto ao índice de consistência, densidade de massa, retração e resistências à tração na flexão e à compressão. Os resultados demonstraram que apesar da composição distinta dos RCDs, quando se utiliza o mesmo processo de britagem se obtém distribuições granulométricas muito semelhantes; no entanto, outras características são diferentes nesses agregados e essas influenciam no comportamento das argamassas e dependem da origem do resíduo. Concluiu-se que a realização de ensaios não convencionais, como granulometria a laser e morfoscopia, pode ser importante para um completo entendimento do comportamento dos ARs nas propriedades das argamassas. Ademais, a massa unitária e o TMP mostraram-se parâmetros significativos para qualificar os ARs.
Uso de nefelina como fonte alternativa de álcalis em porcelanatos: caracterização reológica e física
Authors: Cruz C. M. , Oliveira D. C. , Faustino L. M. , Roveri C. D. , Maestrelli S. C.
Published: April 2018

Resumo O porcelanato é um tipo de placa cerâmica de revestimento que vem se destacando atualmente por apresentar boas propriedades estéticas, como a superfície decorada, e mecânicas, como a baixa absorção de água e elevada resistência mecânica e ao ataque químico. As matérias-primas utilizadas para a produção de porcelanato são principalmente a argila e o feldspato. O feldspato é uma das matérias-primas responsáveis pela sinterização durante a queima e auxilia no desenvolvimento de baixa porosidade e elevada resistência ao desgaste da peça cerâmica. Porém, o Brasil apresenta reservas de feldspato em regiões distantes dos centros produtores, fato que encarece a produção deste produto. Dessa forma surge como alternativa a utilização de nefelina para substituir o feldspato, total ou parcialmente, pois este mineral apresenta características bastante similares. Para verificar a influência de tal substituição nas propriedades do porcelanato, inicialmente foi necessário realizar o estudo das propriedades reológicas e físicas da suspensão utilizada na produção. Os resultados encontrados mostraram que a viscosidade da suspensão tende a aumentar com a adição de nefelina, assim como a densidade aparente da peça após a queima.

Resumo Contexto A amputação e a desarticulação objetivam melhorar a saúde de um indivíduo, mas esses tratamentos apresentam taxas significantes de mortalidade que variam de acordo com os fatores relacionados. Objetivo Identificar as associações entre os determinantes da mortalidade pós-operatória da amputação. Métodos Estudo do tipo caso-controle (óbito versus não óbito) em que foi adotada a descoberta de regras de associação (abordagem da mineração de dados) e métricas epidemiológicas sobre 173 registros de pacientes amputados em um hospital público de Santa Catarina em 2014. Resultados Os principais determinantes foram: idade > 60 anos [odds ratio (OR) = 3,0], sexo feminino (OR = 2,0), baixa escolaridade, hipertensão (OR = 3,0), diabetes (OR = 1,6) e tabagismo (OR = 1,8). Dos pacientes com idade entre 60 a 69 anos (38%), 87,9% evoluíram para alta, estando o óbito associado a doença vascular periférica. Quando a idade foi > 70 anos, embolia e trombose de artérias dos membros inferiores foram o fator de exceção (óbito). As patologias com maior associação ao óbito foram doença vascular (47,0%), diabetes (29,4%), doença cardíaca (razão de risco = 11,4), doença renal (OR = 10,4) e doença pulmonar (OR = 5,2). As cirurgias proximais estiveram mais associadas ao óbito do que as distais. Entre os pacientes que foram a óbito, 76,0% foram submetidos a raquianestesia e 24,0% a anestesia geral. Conclusão A mineração de dados permitiu identificar as associações vinculadas ao óbito entre as diferentes variáveis e diagnósticos, como por exemplo, entre idade > 70 anos e diagnóstico de embolia e trombose de artérias dos membros inferiores.

Summary Introduction: The standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer (RC) consists of neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by radical surgery. Regardless the extensive use of SUVmax in 18F-FDG PET tumor uptake as representation of tumor glycolytic consumption, there is a trend to apply metabolic volume instead. Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate a noninvasive method for tumor segmentation using the 18F-FDG PET imaging in order to predict response to neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy in patients with rectal cancer. Method: The sample consisted of stage II and III rectal cancer patients undergoing 18F-FDG PET/CT examination before and eight weeks after neoadjuvant therapy. An individualized tumor segmentation methodology was applied to generate tumor volumes (SUV2SD) and compare with standard SUVmax and fixed threshold (SUV40%, SUV50% and SUV60%) pre- and post-therapy. Therapeutic response was assessed in the resected specimens using Dworak's protocol recommendations. Several variables were generated and compared with the histopathological results. Results: Seventeen (17) patients were included and analyzed. Significant differences were observed between responders (Dworak 3 and 4) and non-responders for SUVmax-2 (p<0.01), SUV2SD-2 (p<0.05), SUV40%-2 (p<0.05), SUV50%-2 (p<0.05) and SUV60%-2 (p<0.05). ROC analyses showed significant areas under the curve (p<0.01) for the proposed methodology with sensitivity and specificity varying from 60% to 83% and 73% to 82%, respectively. Conclusion: The present study confirmed the predictive power of the variables using a noninvasive individualized methodology for tumor segmentation based on 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging for response evaluation in patients with rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy.

Vertical transmission between mother and patient occurred in 17.8% and between patient and child, in 7.9%. In all of the eight cases of vertical transmission, the diagnosis was after the birth of children infected with HBV, and in 3/8 (37.5%), there was more than one case of infection by this mechanism per patient, totaling 13 children with the disease. Conclusion: There was a reduction in vertical transmission, showing that preventive measures were effective.

Published: April 2018

Summary Objective: To analyze the nutritional status of selenium and verify the effect of its supplementation in pediatric patients during 14 days of parenteral nutrition (PN). Method: This is a series of cases with patients followed for two weeks while using PN. Data collection was performed at the beginning (T0), in the 7th (T1) and 14th days of PN (T2). The supplemented group received 2 µg/kg/day of selenous acid. Weight and height were measured for nutritional status assessment. Tests requested: plasma selenium, albumin, pre-albumin, C-reactive protein (CRP), total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol. Results: Fourteen (14) patients with inflammatory process and with low or very low weight for their ages were evaluated. In both groups (with and without supplementation), all patients had low selenium levels. Median plasma selenium concentrations were 17.4 µg/L (T0), 23.0 µg/L (T1) and 20.7 µg/L (T2). Increase and reduction of selenium occurred both in patients with high CRP and in those presenting normalization of this parameter. Conclusion: Lower plasma selenium levels have been detected since the start of the research and supplementation (2 µg/kg/day of selenous acid) was not to enough to approach the reference values.

Published: April 2018

Summary Introduction: Surveys are a useful tool in primary care. However, low response rates can introduce selection bias, impairing both external and internal validity. The aim of this study was to assess the average response rate in surveys with Portuguese general practitioners (GPs). Method: We searched the Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, PsychInfo, SciELO, IndexRMP, RCAAP, Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar, Acta Médica Portuguesa and the proceedings of conferences of general practice from incepton to December 2016. We included all postal, e-mail, telephone and personal surveys to primary care physicians without language restrictions. We did not assess risk of bias of included studies, since the main outcome was survey response rate. We performed planned subgroup analyses of the use of monetary incentives, the use of non-monetary incentives, survey delivery modes and prior contact with participants. Results: A total of 1,094 papers were identified and 37 studies were included in this review. The response rate in surveys done to Portuguese GPs was 56% (95CI 47-64%). There was substantial heterogeneity among included studies (I2=99%), but subgroup analysis did not explain this heterogeneity. Conclusion: Consistent with other published studies, the average response rate in surveys done with Portuguese GPs was 56%, with substantial variation among studies. Use of monetary incentives, one of the most effective strategies to increase response rates, was not present in any of the included studies.

Authors: Santos Viviane Fernandes Conceição dos , Borges Zulmira Newlands , Lima Sônia Oliveira , Reis Francisco Prado
Published: April 2018

Este trabalho apresenta um olhar etnográfico sobre a experiência das pessoas que dependem da hemodiálise para continuar vivendo. Neste artigo, o foco é o paciente, apresentamos suas percepções e experiências, tomando como base seu convívio com a doença e suas estratégias de enfrentamento, pois as características bastante peculiares desse tratamento geram uma relação complexa, acompanhada de contradições e ambiguidades. Os entrevistados, com idades entre 18 e setenta anos, estavam há mais de um ano nesse tratamento e revelaram vidas marcadas pela experiência da doença, além de depoimentos que nos levam a analisar a hemodiálise como espaço de liminaridade. Interpretamos, aqui, à luz da teoria antropológica e a partir de alguns depoimentos dos 117 entrevistados, que todo paciente com insuficiência renal crônica, dependente da hemodiálise, vive em um espaço liminar que pode durar meses ou anos.
Relação entre trabalho especializado e técnico: o caso da ortodontia à luz da bioética clínica amplificada
Authors: Gomes Doris , Finkler Mirelle
Published: April 2018

Na reorganização da saúde bucal, percebe-se, como desafio ético-político, a transição para as relações em equipe. Aplicou-se pesquisa exploratório-descritiva de abordagem qualitativa, que coletou dados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com 11 ortodontistas, analisados por Análise Textual Discursiva. Evidenciam-se problemas éticos como: ideologia do profissionalismo; confusão de competências com o trabalho técnico; e hierarquização em contraposição à construção de liderança. À luz da bioética clínica amplificada desvela-se uma tendência à persistência de saberes e fazeres tradicionais. A busca pela superação da mercantilização e hierarquização sugere uma prática cogestionada e capacitada à deliberação, a partir da solidariedade, diálogo e cooperação, da graduação à formação lato sensu .
Eficácia da terapia a laser de baixa intensidade no controle da dor neuropática em camundongos
Authors: Sanchez Ariane Dutra , Andrade Ana Laura Martins de , Parizotto Nivaldo Antonio
Published: April 2018

RESUMO A terapia a laser de baixa intensidade (LLLT) vem sendo amplamente discutida na literatura como forma alternativa de tratamento para diversos tipos de dor, com destaque para a neuropática. Essa terapia sobressai pelo fato de não ser invasiva, raramente causar efeitos colaterais e ser de baixo custo. Em contrapartida, para sua eficácia, é necessário o detalhamento dos parâmetros, que ainda são muito discrepantes na literatura. Assim, este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar o efeito da LLLT, na faixa do infravermelho, com fluência de 30J/cm², no controle da dor neuropática em modelo animal. Foram utilizados 24 camundongos da cepa suíço albino, machos, pesando 2530 gramas, divididos em três grupos: Grupo Placebo (GP), Grupo Laser (GL30) e Grupo Sham (GS). A indução da neuropatia foi feita através do modelo de constrição crônica do nervo isquiático (CCI), e o tratamento da LLLT realizou-se da seguinte maneira: GP com o laser com fluência de 0J/cm2, GL30 tratado com fluência de 30J/cm2, e GS com simulação de cirurgia sem intervenção. Executaram-se as irradiações 3 vezes por semana, durante 90 dias, no ponto de compressão do nervo, utilizando-se a técnica de contato. A fins de avaliação, foram utilizados o teste da placa quente, para hiperalgesia térmica, e o Teste de Randall-Selitto para hiperalgesia mecânica. Nos resultados do GP, observamos que não houve melhora significativa nos dias após a cirurgia em nenhum dos testes realizados e, no GL30, observou-se uma melhora expressiva em ambos os testes a partir do 30º dia de tratamento para o teste de Placa Quente e a partir do 45º para o Randall-Selitto, em que os camundongos apresentaram restauração total da sensibilidade. Concluímos, pois, que a utilização de LLLT com fluência de 30J/cm2 no tratamento da dor neuropática em modelo animal é eficaz.
Functional assessment of the pelvic floor muscles by electromyography: is there a normalization in data analysis? A systematic review

Published: April 2018

ABSTRACT This study aims to evaluate the method of analysis of electromyographic data considering the functional assessment of pelvic floor muscles (PFM). We have included in our search strategy the following databases: Medline, PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, PEDro, and IBECS, considering articles published in the last ten years (2004-2014). The identified articles were independently examined by two evaluators, according to these inclusion criteria: (1) population: female adults; (2) PFM assessment by electromyography (EMG) with vaginal/anal probe; and (3) description of how electromyographic data analysis is performed. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to assess the risk of bias. We identified 508 articles, of which 23 were included in the review. The data showed differences between the collection protocols, and a significant number of studies did not normalize the electromyographic data. Physiotherapists are among the clinicians who most frequently use EMG to evaluate the function and dysfunction of the neuromuscular system. Although some previous studies have provided an overview to guide the evaluator in the assessment, few succeeding studies followed their recommendations.

Published: April 2018

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar os fatores associados à satisfação sexual pós-lesão medular. Oitenta homens com lesão medular compuseram a amostra. Utilizou-se um instrumento semiestruturado sobre prática de atividade física pós-lesão, frequência sexual semanal e satisfação sexual antes e após a lesão, além das características sociodemográficas e da lesão. Para análise estatística utilizaram-se os programas SPSS versão 20.0 e o R versão 3.3.1, considerando um nível de significância de 5%. Inicialmente, empregou-se a análise descritiva por meio de frequências relativas e absolutas. A correlação de Spearman foi utilizada para analisar a magnitude da associação entre as variáveis independentes (frequência sexual semanal, idade, nível de escolaridade, tempo de lesão) com o nível de satisfação após a lesão. Verificou-se a associação entre satisfação sexual e a prática de atividade física, tipo de lesão e parceiro sexual estável por meio da correlação policórica. Constatou-se que a satisfação sexual diminui após a lesão (p<0.001), havendo associação entre o nível de satisfação sexual após lesão com o tempo de lesão (r=0,28, ρ=0,01) e frequência sexual semanal (r=0,25, ρ=0,02) e com parceiras sexuais estáveis (r=0,26, ρ=0,01). Concluiu-se que a satisfação sexual é afetada pela lesão medular, associando-se de forma positiva com o tempo de lesão, frequência sexual e com presença de parceiros sexuais estáveis após a lesão. Sugerem-se novos estudos com classificações baseadas na escala ASIA.

Published: April 2018

RESUMO Investigar hábitos de vida que podem influenciar o desempenho no teste de caminhada de seis minutos (TC6’) em crianças eutróficas e com excesso de peso. Foram realizadas avaliações antropométricas, capacidade funcional de exercício e dos hábitos e verificado o Estilo de Vida na Infância e Adolescência (Evia) em crianças de escolas públicas, com idade entre oito e dez anos. Avaliaram-se 247 escolares, 132 (53%) meninas e 115 (47%) meninos; destes, 96 (39%) crianças apresentavam excesso de peso e 151 (61%) eram eutróficos. Os hábitos de vida mais frequentes entre as crianças foram: assistir à TV (95%), estudar em casa (87%) e fazer tarefas domésticas (86%). Não houve correlação entre desempenho no TC6’ e quantidade de horas de sono/noite, e entre desempenho no TC6’ e forma de deslocamento no trajeto casa-escola. A prática de esporte e a classificação nutricional apresentaram correlação com o desempenho no TC6’ com r=0.1793; p=0.0047 e r=0.1280; p=0.0445, respectivamente, e a regressão linear múltipla mostrou que apresentam fraca influência no desempenho do TC6’ com R2=0.03009; p=0.0063 e R2=0.02287; p=0.0174, respectivamente. Concluiu-se que hábitos de vida com baixo gasto energético, como assistir à televisão e estudar, são frequentes. A quantidade de horas de sono/noite e a forma de deslocamento no trajeto casa-escola não apresentaram correlação com a capacidade funcional de exercício, e prática de esportes e classificação nutricional influenciam, mesmo que fracamente, o desempenho no TC6’ entre as crianças na faixa etária avaliada.

Published: April 2018

ABSTRACT High-intensity and widespread muscle pain is the main complaint of patients with fibromyalgia. Interferential current is a treatment often used in pain relief; however, its effects on these patients are unclear. The objective of this review was to analyze the effects of interferential current therapy on the treatment of patients with fibromyalgia in previously published scientific articles. We searched the following databases: Central, CINAHL, Lilacs, PEDro, Medline (PubMed), SciELO, Science Direct, Scopus and Web of Science on November 2016. We included only controlled clinical trials and had no restrictions for language and date of publication. We used the Cochrane Collaboration’s tool to assess the risk of bias of the articles. We found a total of 415 articles, however, only four of them were selected for analysis. Three of these studies were excluded because they were not controlled clinical trials. Thus, only one study was analyzed for this review. According to the study the combination of ultrasound and interferential current improved pain relief and the sleep quality of patients with fibromyalgia. However, the study presented a high risk of bias, being impossible to verify the isolated effect of the interferential current in those patients. Randomized controlled studies on the use of interferential current in patients with fibromyalgia are lacking on literature. The results of this review evidence the importance of developing future studies with adequate methodological design and using only interferential current therapy to improve the use of this therapy for these patients in this clinical setting.

Published: April 2018

RESUMO O artigo tem por objetivo realizar um balançoda controvérsia sobre a distribuição de renda no Brasil na década de 1960. Para tanto, apresentamos os principais argumentos da interpretação “oficial”, fundamentada e justificada no trabalho de Langoni (1973), bem como as principais críticas a ela endereçadas pelas interpretações alternativas. A interpretação “oficial” considerou que o aumento na desigualdade da distribuição de renda entre 1960 e 1970 seria consequência natural e transitória do descompasso entre demanda e oferta de mãodeobra qualificada, num contexto de intenso crescimento econômico. Consideramos, em linha com as interpretações alternativas, que a interpretação “oficial” apresentouargumentos que obscureceram a importância de elementos teóricos e empíricos relacionados com ahierarquia organizacional das empresas, a política econômica do governo militar e o padrão de desenvolvimento capitalista no Brasil.
