Published: October 2024

The present study aims to investigate the effects of aerobic training on the body composition of elderly people, focusing on reducing body fat, maintaining lean mass and improving quality of life. The literature review was conducted based on a broad analysis of scientific articles and recent research on the impacts of aerobic training on the elderly. The results reveal that aerobic training promotes a significant reduction in visceral fat, which is one of the main risk factors for metabolic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. Furthermore, aerobic training proved to be effective in preserving and even increasing muscle mass, a fundamental aspect in preventing sarcopenia, a common condition in aging. Another relevant point found in the studies was the contribution of training to improving the immune system. Regular practice also has a positive impact on the quality of life of the elderly, favoring emotional well-being, combating depression and promoting greater socialization and autonomy in daily activities. The study reinforces the importance of public policies that encourage the adoption of physical activities among the elderly population, aiming to promote more active and healthy aging.

MANEJO DO SORRISO GENGIVAL ATRAVÉS DO USO DA TOXINA BOTULÍNICA TIPO A
Authors:   Renata Carvalho Campelo, Melo Bianca Talita Dos Santos De ,   Karime Tavares Lima da Silva
Published: October 2024

An aesthetically pleasing smile results from the combination of several factors, such as the position, size, shape, and color of the teeth, as well as the exposure and characteristics of the gingival tissue. When evaluating the gingival tissue in a smile, several important factors must be considered: excessive vertical growth of the maxilla, reduced length of the upper lip, excessive contraction of the upper lip, and disproportion between the length and width of the clinical crown of the anterior teeth. A minimally invasive approach that can be used as a complement to dental treatment is the application of botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin produced by the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This toxin blocks the release of acetylcholine in the presynaptic vesicles of neuromuscular junctions, inhibiting muscle contraction. The aim of this literature review was to analyze the use of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) in the management of gummy smile. The search was conducted in the databases Google Scholar, PubMed, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). The descriptors used for the search were "botulinum toxin," "gingiva," "periodontology," and "dental aesthetics," combined using the boolean operators AND and OR. Although the evidence demonstrates favorable results, the use of botulinum toxin to correct gummy smile has limitations. It is a temporary solution, and patients should be informed about the need for periodic reapplications and the potential side effects, such as facial asymmetries. The reviewed studies indicate that this technique is particularly effective in cases of gummy smile resulting from hyperactivity of the upper lip elevator muscle, providing a significant reduction in gingival exposure, with results lasting up to 12 weeks. The combination of different therapeutic approaches, along with a careful evaluation of the causes of gummy smile, allows dental professionals to offer more integrated and personalized solutions for each patient.

Published: October 2024

Sporotrichosis in felines is much more pathogenic than in other animals or in humans, even if immunocompetent, which makes treatment a challenge in clinical medicine, as many of them are refractory to the preferred therapy such as Itraconazole or Ketoconazole. This situation also arises from the prolonged oral administration of the medication, the animal's reluctance to take the drug and the guardian's abandonment of the prescription when he notices an improvement in the lesions caused by the disease, which generates relapses and resistance to the antifungals available on the market. Itraconazole, as well as Ketoconazole, act by causing permeability of the plasma membrane and cell necrosis, however, they have adverse effects such as nausea and vomiting in the first and liver disease as relevance in the second. Terbinafine works by interrupting the synthesis of ergosterol and as a consequence the cell membrane ruptures and death, however, it also has side effects such as gastrointestinal and skin problems. Potassium iodide can be used in combination with azoles or Terbinafine, although the literature does not agree with the issue, as not all felines respond to treatment, adverse effects are due to iodism such as depression, anorexia, vomiting and diarrhea. There are also alternative treatments that can enhance oral medication, such as laser therapy, ozone therapy, cryotherapy and cryosurgery. Due to the issue of non-responsive felines, there is research being developed aiming to provide new therapeutic horizons for these animals, such as the use of intranasal infusion of 1% Clotrimazole spray associated with Itraconazole added with Potassium iodide or not, with good results, no relapses and no side effects. NikZ, the result of a substance produced by the bacterium Streptomyces tendae, called Nikkomycin Z, also appears as a new therapeutic potential for the treatment of Sporotrix spp., with a blocking effect on chitin synthase present in the cell wall of fungi, were maide research with dogs, rats and is in Phase 1 of experiments on humans. NikZ represents a new form of prescription, as it can be placed in the animals' drinking water, avoiding the desertion of those responsible for the felines, it has no observable adverse effects in the analyzes carried out and represents an alternative for cats refractory to existing medical protocols in veterinary.

Published: October 2024

Among the various teeth that can be lost, the front ones are the most relevant in terms of aesthetics, since they represent an individual’s calling card. In this scenario, implantology is one of the main forms of oral rehabilitation in dentistry. Dental implants can be installed with immediate or delayed loading. Immediate loading implants arose from the need for faster results and in situations where aesthetics are the main objective, such as the front region of maxilla, representing a huge technological advance in implantology. The present study aimed to conduct a literature review on the advantages of single immediate loading implants in the front of maxilla. Through a search in the online databases Google Scholar, Pubmed and Scielo, 25 scientific articles were selected to compose the review, divided into the following topics: mediate loading vs. immediate loading; requirements for the application of immediate loading in single implants; immediate loading in the front of maxilla and its advantages; and the success rates. After explaining and discussing the data, it was concluded that single immediate loading implants in the front of maxilla is considered effective, especially due to advantages such as immediate aesthetic restoration and reduced treatment time, benefits considered extremely important by most patients. However, it is important to emphasize that the professional must evaluate each case individually and decide whether the patient is suitable for the technique.

O tratamento endodôntico tem como objetivo a desinfecção dos canais radiculares através de limas manuais, rotatórias e soluções irrigadoras, preservando sua estrutura original. Na literatura é possível notar que há algumas taxas de insucesso devido à anatomia interna complexa dos canais, canais acessórios e a extensão dos túbulos dentinários onde se colonizam as bactérias principalmente as gram-positivas Enterococcus faecalis, tornando o preparo químico-mecânico ineficaz por serem resistentes. Nesse sentido, as técnicas coadjuvantes ao tratamento endodôntico, como a Terapia Fotodinâmica (PDT), se faz necessária, pois potencializa a descontaminação das bactérias resistentes que conseguem penetrar nos túbulos dentinários e na anatomia interna complexa dos canais radiculares. O objetivo desse artigo foi relatar um caso clínico, que avaliou a regressão de lesão periapical através da radiografia periapical digital e achados clínicos no dente 11 que foi submetido ao tratamento endodôntico convencional e o dente 21 ao tratamento endodôntico associado ao uso da Terapia fotodinâmica. Foi realizado levantamento bibliográfico dos últimos 10 anos nos sites de busca científicos a seguir descritos: PubMed, Google Acadêmico, BVS e Scielo, utilizando como descritores em português: Terapia Fotodinâmica, Endodontia, Abscesso Periapical, Canal Radicular e Azul de Metileno como as principais fontes de pesquisa. Foi possível concluir que se pode afirmar que a terapia fotodinâmica como coadjuvante associada a uma instrumentação de excelência e irrigantes apropriados, é de muita eficácia para o tratamento endodôntico, pois acelera o processo de regressão da lesão periapical e diminuição de microrganismos de forma significativa, sendo assim, mais benéfico para o paciente e vantajoso para o profissional pela otimização de tempo.

Published: October 2024

RESUMO: O aumento da popularidade da musculação no Brasil trouxe consigo um crescimento nas lesões musculoesqueléticas associadas à prática. Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar a associação entre dor musculoesquelética e a prática de musculação, visando desenvolver estratégias de prevenção e fornecer orientações para profissionais da saúde. Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura, consultando bases de dados como MEDLINE, SciELO e LILACS. A pesquisa inicial encontrou 279 artigos, dos quais 10 foram selecionados para análise final. Os resultados indicaram que a maioria das lesões ocorre na região lombar, ombro e joelho, e que a falta de orientação profissional e a má execução técnica dos exercícios são fatores críticos que aumentam o risco de lesões. Constatou-se que a busca por resultados estéticos, muitas vezes acompanhada por treinos inadequados, é uma das principais causas de dor entre os praticantes. Assim, enfatiza-se a importância do trabalho multidisciplinar entre fisioterapeutas e educadores físicos para garantir uma prática segura e eficaz, minimizando o risco de lesões e melhorando a qualidade de vida dos praticantes. Futuras pesquisas devem investigar abordagens preventivas individualizadas e o impacto da musculação em pessoas com condições pré-existentes, como dores lombares crônicas.

Authors: Yamane Takamasa , Ta An Phuc D. , Chu Harrison , Chen Hao
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are frequently observed in patients undergoing immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy, with thyroid irAEs being the most common among endocrine irAEs. According to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, irAEs greater than Grade 1 typically require medical intervention. However, the risk factors associated with developing thyroid irAEs beyond Grade 1 remain unclear.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in a community hospital. Medical records from the past ten years were extracted, and a multivariable analysis was performed comparing Grade 1 thyroid irAEs to those exceeding Grade 1.
Results: Of the 384 patients who underwent ICI therapy, 134 (34.9%) developed thyroid irAEs, with 78 (20.3%) experiencing Grade 1 and 56 (14.6%) experiencing Grade 2. A total of 83 (21.6%) patients were diagnosed with hypothyroidism and 51 (13.3%) with hyperthyroidism. Multivariable analysis revealed that age and ICI combination therapy were risk factors for Grade 2 hypothyroidism irAE, with an Odds Ratio (OR) of 1.06 (95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.01–1.13, p = 0.019) and OR 1.70 (95% CI: 1.08–2.75, p = 0.022), respectively. For hyperthyroidism, compared to digestive, lung, and urology cancers, breast cancer and mesothelioma showed an OR of 3.86 (95% CI: 1.61–9.25, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The management of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism during cancer treatment presents unique challenges. Chemotherapy regimen selection requires careful consideration of patient-specific factors such as age and type of cancer.

Authors: Kashizaki Fumihiro , Matsumoto Yu , Hirokado Michiko , Kawano Naomi , Ikoma Ryo
Published: October 2024

Background: Treatment for severe type 2 bronchial asthma (BA) has advanced rapidly with the development of biologics. However, research on the responders and biomarkers for each biologic remains limited. Case Presentation: A 64-year-old female non-smoker with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis and severe type 2 BA was administered dupilumab due to worsening nasal obstruction and olfactory impairment. Following this, the patient experienced secondary eosinophilia and worsening asthma control, necessitating frequent administration of systemic corticosteroids. Additionally, widespread maculopapular exanthema developed. Consequently, the treatment was switched to mepolizumab, which reduced blood eosinophil count; however, asthma control did not improve, and the maculopapular exanthema worsened, prompting another change to benralizumab. Due to persistent inadequate asthma control, the treatment was subsequently switched to tezepelumab, which resolved the maculopapular exanthema and decreased asthma exacerbations. Additionally, improvements in forced expiratory volume in one second and the asthma control test score were observed, along with a reduction in the serum thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) level. Conclusions: In some patients with severe type 2 BA who experience secondary eosinophilia and worsening asthma control after dupilumab administration, tezepelumab can be effective, and serum TARC levels could serve as a biomarker.

Authors:   , Bernini Rachel
Published: October 2024

Supervision is a function at the core of the social work profession. The goal of social work supervision is to provide practitioners with the needed support, oversight, and education so that practitioners can ultimately render efficient and effective services. Despite positive outcomes, little is empirically known about effective supervision and its relationship with educational background. Recognizing the lack of empirical evidence regarding effective supervision practices within the social work profession, this study examined the delivery of supervision within a large Pennsylvania human service organization delivering fee for service case management. Using the MCSS-26©, supervisees rated their experiences of supervision; then with SPSS statistical analysis, an overall supervision score was derived. While additional study is warranted, results from this study have wide ranging implications for supervisory practices within the social work curriculum and practice standards, as well as considerations for agency leaders responsible for the implementation of supervision.

Objectif : rapporter les aspects sociodémographiques, cliniques et évolutifs des patients amputés dans un service spécialisé du Niger. Méthodologie : étude rétrospective, descriptive sur 5 ans (du 1er Janvier 2017 au 31 Décembre 2021) ayant concernés 66 dossiers de patients amputés de membres, essentiellement en pratique civile sans préjugés de l’âge. Les variables analysées étaient épidémiologiques, cliniques, thérapeutiques et évolutifs. L’évaluation des patients amputés a été faite selon l’échelle de fonctionnelle de Volpicelli. Résultats : la fréquence des amputations était 6,43%. Les patients de sexe masculin étaient prédominant avec 69,70%(n=46) des cas. Les adultes jeunes de 15 à 45 ans étaient les plus amputés avec 49,25% des cas (n=33) avec un âge moyen de 37,98 ans. La majorité des patients étaient sans antécédents particuliers. Les causes traumatiques et infectieuses étaient les plus rencontrées avec 60,61%(n=40). Le membre inférieur était le segment le plus amputé dans la majorité des cas avec 83,33%(n=55). Les complications précoces étaient marquées par la suppuration du moignon d’amputation dans 3,03% des cas(n=2) avec exposition osseuse et l’hémorragie post opératoire dans 1,52% des cas (n=1). Le taux de mortalité dans était de 1,52%. Les complications tardives étaient marquées par l’apparition des manifestations du syndrome du membre fantôme chez 04 patients (6,07%). Seulement 08 patients (36,36%) avaient eu un appareillage au membre amputé, exclusivement au membre pelvien. Aucun patient amputé au membre supérieur n’a été appareillé dans l’étude. Conclusion : l’amputation de membres représente une part non négligeable de l’activité de notre service. Elle est réalisée majoritairement chez les sujets jeunes, actifs, de sexe masculin et prédomine au membre inférieur. La majorité de ces patients ne sont pas appareillés par manque de moyens financiers rendant difficile leur réinsertion professionnelle dans notre contexte.

Reducing Drag by Optimizing the Underbody with Ride Height in Formula 1
Authors: Pothamsetti Varun
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the aerodynamic interaction between wheel wakes and the underbody of Formula 1 cars, focusing on the effect of varying ride heights on drag reduction and ground effect optimization. With the reintroduction of ground effect principles in the 2022-2026 Formula 1 regulations, the potential for enhanced vehicle performance through improved aerodynamic design is significant. However, the efficiency of venturi tunnels, essential for generating effective downforce, is compromised by turbulent airflows produced by the wheels, known as wheel wakes. This research utilizes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to model these interactions at different ride heights, aiming to pinpoint optimal configurations that minimize aerodynamic drag while maximizing downforce. Initial findings suggest a delicate balance between ride height adjustment and tunnel geometry optimization, offering potential pathways to achieve aerodynamic efficiency in modern Formula 1 vehicles. This paper contributes to the evolving discourse on high-speed vehicle aerodynamics, providing insights that could inform future vehicle design and regulatory frameworks in motorsports.

Published: October 2024

Remote collaboration and working from home are two of the latest career-ready trends that require a basic understanding of information technology (IT) and new digital technology skills (DTS). The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) has pointed out the critical role that higher education institutions play in assessing students’ DTS, while ensuring that university graduates have earned sufficient expertise in IT for a successful transition into today’s workplace. However, the COVID-19 pandemic revealed that people’s DTS needed to complete their work remotely varied across industries and professions, and it became more noticeable in the workplace when employers saw high employee turnover rates and chaotic work environments that resulted in decreasing productivity and individual performance struggles. Moreover, proficiency testing and certifications in basic DTS have failed to capture changes in the latest technology developments because their design and scope are mostly subverted to demonstrate proficiency with productivity software and some business applications, not on new technologies and their trends. Consequently, this research aims at surveying the students’ DTS in the scope of three domains: [1] Cyber Security Awareness, [2] Usage of the Internet or The World Wide Web, and [3] Productivity Software

Geological formations of the Mucuri river path in the State of Minas Gerais
Authors: Gomes Antônio Jorge de Lima
Published: October 2024

In this work, the geological formations along the Mucuri River in the State of Minas Gerais were identified in order to contribute to multidisciplinary engineering projects, mainly for the consolidation of urban, rural and environmental planning. The Mucuri River is formed by the junction of the Mucuri do Norte and Mucuri do Sul rivers. The first appears in the municipality of Malacacheta at 720m height and the second in the municipality of Ladainha at 750m of height. The processes of metamorphism and later weathering, associated to erosion, along the geological time, modelled the landscape of the region, transforming its territory with different heights. Many places in the region have quaternary alluvial soil suitable for growing grasses adapted to the flooding of the river. In the source of the South Mucuri River, in the municipality of Malacacheta, appear the Serra Negra Formation, belonging to the Guanhães Group, which consists of banded biotite-gneiss. The geological formations that follow the waterway of the Mucuri River have characteristics of Neoproterozoic rocks (late-tectonic granites of the Galiléia Intrusive Suite, of the Rio Doce Group), and of the Eocambrian (post-tectonic late granites of the Aimorés Intrusive Suite), aged 585 to 630 Ma. The eighteen formations found are respectively: Serra Negra Formation, Concórdia do Mucuri Formation, Leucogranite Caraí, Tumiritinga Formation (Marble), Tumiritinga Formation, Tonalite São Vitor, Topazio Granodiorite, Leucogranite Faísca, Wolff Granite, Caladão Granite, Charnockite Padre Paraíso, Kinzigitic gneiss, Leucogranite Carlos Chagas, Ataléia Granite, alluvial soil, Nanuque Granite, Underbite Mangalô and Granite Rio Mucuri.

The present work is an extension project developed by the Tutorial Education Program (PET) - Strategies to reduce the retention and dropout of academics at UFVJM. This project aimed to develop and teach the lay population in the Diamantina region to produce ecological, inexpensive and efficient paints, from the sieved soil under dilution with water and PVA - Polyvinyl Acetate glue, in order to use them to paint facades of houses and buildings of poor families or communities present in the locality. Therefore, for the performance of the project, volunteer students were selected who had an academic performance coefficient (CRA) of less than 60 or with one or more failures in subjects, in order to meet the purposes of this PET group, combating retention and evasion. During the project, the volunteer team was monitored for the performance of CRA, trained in the production of paints and in the promotion of workshops in educational institutions, which brought up issues inherent to environmental education and the production and viability of ecological paints. The project contributed to the exchange of experiences and bonds between the external and academic community, through technical visits and offered workshops.

Urban afforestation is really important in urban centers, however, few Brazilian cities have effective planning for the afforestation of their public roads. This paper aims to diagnose a situation of urban afforestation in the Marajoara neighborhood, located in the city of Teófilo Otoni - MG. For this diagnosis, the data were collected using a questionnaire with a qualitative and quantitative assessment and mapping of adult trees, registering 324 trees. The phytosanitary state, size, root problems, need for pruning, crown status, interference from trees on public roads and conflicts with the electrical systems of the streets were observed; The Afforestation Index measured by Kilometer of afforested sidewalk in the city of Teófilo Otoni presented a value classified as insufficient (20.72). It is recommended for Teófilo Otoni an articulated planning between the City Hall and a local energy concessionaire, so that urban afforestation can be developed effectively with techniques for installation and maintenance of trees.

The use of metallic materials is very important for our society, and corrosion is a spontaneous degradation process that turns their application harder and more expensive. Therefore, alternative and cheap methods for the reduction or elimination of this process are necessary, as drugs with anti-corrosive properties. The objective of this study was measuring the efficiency, through gravimetric analysis in acid media (HCl 1M), of Dipyrone Monohydrate and Ticlopidine Hydrochloride as corrosion inhibitors, on four materials: steel, cast iron, brass and aluminum. The Ticlopidine Hydrochloride on steel had the max efficiency of 99,17% and the Dipyrone Monohydrate on brass had the minimum efficiency of 0,22%.

Exploring and crossing boundaries in education – tinkering as an approach to breaching children’s formal and informal learning processes
Authors: Hjøllund Niels-Peder Osmundsen , Klausen Martin Thun , Remmer Lasse
Published: October 2024

This article explores the integration of tinkering as an approach to learning and teaching in the context of two Danish public schools. Tinkering, traditionally associated with informal learning, is examined for its potential to widen participation, and align with informal learning processes within a formal educational setting. The study, part of the larger Tech&Play project, investigates the characteristics of tinkering in formal learning settings and examines the roles of children and teachers in tinkering processes.
The article introduces the Positioning Wheel, a reflection tool, to understand the roles and positions of children and teachers in experimental learning practices. It combines this with the Facilitation Field Guide developed by the Tinkering Studio to create a pedagogical and didactical framework. The findings indicate that tinkering encourages diverse participation and engagement, particularly in cross-curricular and thematic approaches. However, challenges arise in sustaining the tinkering approach within longer lesson plans and subject-specific contexts.
The study suggests that while tinkering enhances motivation and flexibility in formal learning, further experiments are needed to fully explore its potential within the formal education system. The Positioning Wheel proves useful in analyzing the positioning of learners, emphasizing the importance of dynamic roles in pedagogical practices.
Crosss Cultural Research – Interkulturelle perspektiver på børns lege
Authors: Nielsen Kaare W. , Jerg Kim
Published: October 2024

I flere danske dagtilbud har personalet erfaring med, at børn med forskellige kulturelle baggrunde leger på forskellige måder, og at forskelligheden i børnenes afsæt for at lege udfordrer deres muligheder for at lege sammen. Vi er optaget af, hvordan vi kan forstå og kvalificere lege-praksisser i disse dagtilbud, en optagethed der har ført os til international, cross-cultural research. Da dette perspektiv synes at være fraværende i en dansk sammenhæng, har vi sat os for at introducere til international, cross-cultural research. Vi præsenterer konklusioner og pointer fra fire bidragydere, der kan danne grundlag for at drøfte betydningen af kultursensitive blikke på børns lege i dansk pædagogik.

Published: October 2024

I denne artikel har vi valgt en form, der er baseret på fotos, forskerfortællinger og fælles refleksioner. I stedet for at starte vores artikel med et abstract starter vi med noget konkret. En figuration. Et objekt. En blød, hvid, uåbnet stofpose lukket med et blåt flettet bånd. Den ligger i græsset ved det første fysiske møde i det nordiske forskningsnetværk BLÆK (Børn, Leg, Æstetik og Kunst). Vi lader konkreter og situationer relateret til forskningsnetværket udgøre opbygningen af artiklen med fem invitationer. Invitationerne giver mulighed for at læse med i opbygningen af forskningsnetværket BLÆK, og til at tænke med i forhold til forskerroller, forskningsfokus og opbygning af forskningsnetværk. De fem invitationer udgør: 1. En blød uåbnet stofpose, med det uopdagede og skjulte forskningsfelt. 2. Legende nøster/garnnøgler og ord, om navngivningen og den spæde start i netværket. 3. Blå tråde der forbinder, om opbygningen af fællesskab og netværk. 4. Skinkelerret /ostelærred, knuter og frø, om eksperimenter og udforskning i netværket. 5. Blæk, tråd og frø på rejse, om udvikling og formidling af netværkets virksomhed. Invitationerne tager således alle udgangspunkt i møder mellem materialer, kroppe, steder og forbindelser der skabes i og omkring forskningsnetværket.
