Authors: Taani Murad H. , Apchemengich Immaculate , Sima Christina Diane
Published: January 2022

Malnutrition–sarcopenia syndrome (MSS) might put older adults at higher risk for disability, frailty, and mortality. This study examined the prevalence and association of the self-management-process factors (i.e., self-efficacy and aging expectations) and behaviors (protein and caloric intake and sedentary and physical-activity behaviors) to MSS among older adults living in continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). Using a cross-sectional correlational design, data of 96 CCRC residents (82.4 ± 7.4 years) were analyzed. Muscle mass, strength, function, nutritional status, sedentary time, physical activity levels, protein and caloric intake, self-efficacy for physical activity, aging expectations, and physical and mental health-related quality of life were measured. Results show that 36 (37.5%) had sarcopenia, 21 (21.9%) had malnutrition risk, 13 (13.4%) had malnutrition, and 12 (12.5%) had MSS. We also found that high time spent in sedentary behaviors (OR = 1.041; 95% CI: 1.011–1.071) was associated with higher odds of having MSS and high expectations regarding aging (OR = 0.896; 95% CI: 0.806–0.997) were associated with less likelihood of having MSS. Findings suggest that CCRC residents should be screened for MSS. Self-management interventions that consider the self-management-process factors are needed to prevent MSS and mitigate its negative outcomes among CRCC residents.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections and less-than-optimal care of people living with HIV (PLHIV) continue to challenge public health and clinical care organizations in the communities that are most impacted by HIV. In the era of evidence-based public health, it is imperative to monitor viral load (VL) in PLHIV according to global and national guidelines and assess the factors associated with variation in VL levels. Purpose: This study had two objectives—(a) to describe the levels of HIV VL in persons on antiretroviral therapy (ART), and (b) to analyze the significance of variation in VL by patients’ demographic and clinical characteristics, outcomes of HIV care, and geographic characteristics of HIV care facilities. Methods: The study population for this quantitative study was 49,460 PLHIV in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) receiving ART from 241 CDC-funded HIV/AIDS clinics in the Haut-Katanga and Kinshasa provinces of the DRC. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed, including Tamhane’s T2 test for pairwise comparisons using de-identified data on all patients enrolled in the system by the time the data were extracted for this study by the HIV programs in May 2019. Results: The VL was undetectable (<40 copies/mL) for 56.4% of the patients and 24.7% had VL between 40 copies/mL and less than 1000 copies per mL, indicating that overall, 81% had VL < 1000 and were virologically suppressed. The remaining 19% had a VL of 1000 copies/mL or higher. The mean VL was significantly (p < 0.001) higher for males than for females (32,446 copies/mL vs. 20,786, respectively), persons <15 years of age compared to persons of ages ≥ 15 years at the time of starting ART (45,753 vs. 21,457, respectively), patients who died (125,086 vs. 22,090), those who were lost to follow-up (LTFU) (69,882 vs. 20,018), those with tuberculosis (TB) co-infection (64,383 vs. 24,090), and those who received care from urban clinics (mean VL = 25,236) compared to rural (mean VL = 3291) or semi-rural (mean VL = 26,180) clinics compared to urban. WHO clinical stages and duration on ART were not statistically significant at p ≤ 0.05 in this cohort. Conclusions: The VL was >1000 copies/mL for 19% of PLHIV receiving ART, indicating that these CDC-funded clinics and programs in the Haut-Katanga and Kinshasa provinces of DRC have more work to do. Strategically designed innovations in services are desirable, with customized approaches targeting PLHIV who are younger, male, those LTFU, with HIV/TB co-infection, and those receiving care from urban clinics.

Published: January 2022

Background: Currently, diabetes represents the seventh leading cause of death worldwide, with a significant economic burden. The number and severity of comorbidities increase with age, and are identified as important determinants that influence the prognosis. We aimed to investigate comorbidities and outcomes in a cohort of hospitalized elderly patients affected by diabetes. Methods: In this observational study, we retrospectively analyzed data collected from the REgistro dei pazienti per lo studio delle POlipatologie e politerapie in reparti della rete Simi (RePoSi) registry. Socio-demographic, clinical characteristics, and laboratory findings were considered. The association between variables and in-hospital and 1-year follow-up were analyzed. Results: Among 4708 in-patients, 1378 (29.3%) had a diagnosis of diabetes. Patients with diabetes had more previous hospitalization, a clinically significant disability, and more need for a urinary catheter in comparison with subjects without diabetes. Patients affected by diabetes took more drugs, both at admission, at in-hospital stay, at discharge, and at 1-year follow-up. Thirty-five comorbidities were more frequent in patients with diabetes, and the first five were hypertension (57.1%), ischemic heart disease (31.4%), chronic renal failure (28.8%), atrial fibrillation (25.6%), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (22.7%). Heart rate was an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality. At 1-year follow-up, cancer and male sex were strongly independently associated with mortality. Conclusions: Our findings showed the severity of the impact of diabetes and its comorbidities in the real life of internal medicine and geriatric wards, and provide data to be used for a better tailored management of elderly in-patients with diabetes.

Published: January 2022

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), wearing a face mask is one of the most effective protections from airborne infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Since the spread of COVID-19, infected countries have been enforcing strict mask regulation for indoor businesses and public spaces. While wearing a mask is a requirement, the position and type of the mask should also be considered in order to increase the effectiveness of face masks, especially at specific public locations. However, this makes it difficult for conventional facial recognition technology to identify individuals for security checks. To solve this problem, the Spartan Face Detection and Facial Recognition System with stacking ensemble deep learning algorithms is proposed to cover four major issues: Mask Detection, Mask Type Classification, Mask Position Classification and Identity Recognition. CNN, AlexNet, VGG16, and Facial Recognition Pipeline with FaceNet are the Deep Learning algorithms used to classify the features in each scenario. This system is powered by five components including training platform, server, supporting frameworks, hardware, and user interface. Complete unit tests, use cases, and results analytics are used to evaluate and monitor the performance of the system. The system provides cost-efficient face detection and facial recognition with masks solutions for enterprises and schools that can be easily applied on edge-devices.

Published: January 2022

Glucosinolates, lipid-soluble vitamins E and K contents, primary metabolites and plant hormones were analyzed from topped radish root and detached leaf during storage at 1 °C. The topped root was analyzed at 0, 5, 15, 30, and 90 days after storage while the detached leaf was analyzed at 0, 5, 15, 30, and 45 days in an airtight storage atmosphere environment. The results showed that aliphatic glucosinolates were gradually decreased in leaf but not in root. There was a highly significant correlation between tryptophan and 4-methoxyindoleglucobrassicin in both tissues (r = 0.922, n = 10). There was no significant difference in vitamins E and K in leaf and root during storage. Plant hormones partially explained the significantly changed metabolites by tissue and time, which were identified during cold storage. Phenylalanine, lysine, tryptophan, and myo-inositol were the most important biomarkers that explained the difference in leaf and root tissue during cold storage. The most different metabolism between leaf and root tissue was starch and sucrose metabolism. Therefore, different postharvest technology or regimes should be applied to these tissues.

Ginger is rich in different chemical compounds such as phenolic compounds, terpenes, polysaccharides, lipids, organic acids, minerals, and vitamins. The present study investigated the effect of mineral fertilizers on the content of mineral elements in the rhizomes of Zingiber officinale Roscoe, soil enzymes activity, and soil properties in Surkhandarya Region, Uzbekistan. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first in Uzbekistan to investigate the mineral elements of ginger rhizome inhabiting Termez district, Surkhandarya region. A Field experiment was conducted at the Surkhandarya experimental station research Institute. Four treatments have been studied (Control with no fertilizers (T-1), N75P50K50 kg/ha (T-2), N125P100K100 kg/ha (T-3) and N100P75K75 + B3Zn6Fe6 kg/ha (T-4)). Results showed that T-4 treatment significantly increased ginger rhizome K, Ca, P, Mg, Fe, Na, Mn, Zn, Si, Li, and V content as compared to all other treatments and control. T-3 treatment significantly increased Mo, Ga, and Ag content in comparison to other treatments. Soil enzymes showed a significant increase for all treatments against control, while T-4 treatment has recorded the highest enzyme activity in comparison to all other treatments in urease, invertase, and catalase content. Soil chemical properties have significantly changed for all treatments against the non-cultivated soil and the zero fertilizers plantation with variation among different treatments. Results showed that ginger root is rich in minerals and can be used as a great potential for nutritional supplements and soil enrichment. This study suggest that combination of macro-microelements have the potential to increase the content of mineral elements in the rhizomes of ginger in field conditions.

Published: January 2022

The article deals with a simulation approach to the representation of the ship motions in waves, interacting with the propulsion system behavior (diesel engine and propeller). The final goal is the development of a simulator, as complete as possible, that allows the analysis of the main engine thermodynamics in different sea conditions, also in the unfavorable event of dynamic instability of the hull, and the correct management of the other propulsion components. This latter aspect is particularly interesting in some of the last new energy solutions for decarbonization of ships, concerning, for example, auxiliary electric motors, powered by batteries, to support the traditional diesel-mechanical propulsion (especially in heavy weather conditions). From this point of view, a proper analysis of the engine dynamic performance, affected by particular sea states, is fundamental for a smart management and control of shaft generators/auxiliary electric motors, batteries, etc. To this end, the work presents and highlights the main features of a ship simulator, suitable for the study of the new propulsion solutions that are emerging in maritime transport. Some representative results will point out the complex non-linear behavior of the propulsion plant in waves. Moreover, a parametric roll scenario will be investigated, in order to highlight the capability of the conceived simulator in modeling the effects of the dynamic instability of the hull on the propulsion plant.

Published: January 2022

As an indispensable essential amino acid in the human body, lysine is extremely rich in edible mushrooms. The α-aminoadipic acid (AAA) pathway is regarded as the biosynthetic pathway of lysine in higher fungal species in Agaricomycetes. However, there is no deep understanding about the molecular evolutionary relationship between lysine biosynthesis and species in Agaricomycetes. Herein, we analyzed the molecular evolution of lysine biosynthesis in Agaricomycetes. The phylogenetic relationships of 93 species in 34 families and nine orders in Agaricomycetes were constructed with six sequences of LSU, SSU, ITS (5.8 S), RPB1, RPB2, and EF1-α datasets, and then the phylogeny of enzymes involved in the AAA pathway were analyzed, especially homocitrate synthase (HCS), α-aminoadipate reductase (AAR), and saccharopine dehydrogenase (SDH). We found that the evolution of the AAA pathway of lysine biosynthesis is consistent with the evolution of species at the order level in Agaricomycetes. The conservation of primary, secondary, predicted tertiary structures, and substrate-binding sites of the enzymes of HCS, AAR, and SDH further exhibited the evolutionary conservation of lysine biosynthesis in Agaricomycetes. Our results provide a better understanding of the evolutionary conservation of the AAA pathway of lysine biosynthesis in Agaricomycetes.

Endophytic fungi are one of prolific sources of bioactive natural products with potential application in biomedicine and agriculture. In our continuous search for antimicrobial secondary metabolites from Fusarium oxysporum R1 associated with traditional Chinese medicinal plant Rumex madaio Makino using one strain many compounds (OSMAC) strategy, two diastereomeric polyketides neovasifuranones A (3) and B (4) were obtained from its solid rice medium together with N-(2-phenylethyl)acetamide (1), 1-(3-hydroxy-2-methoxyphenyl)-ethanone (2) and 1,2-seco-trypacidin (5). Their planar structures were unambiguously determined using 1D NMR and MS spectroscopy techniques as well as comparison with the literature data. By a combination of the modified Mosher’s reactions and chiroptical methods using time-dependent density functional theory-electronic circular dichroism (TDDFT-ECD) and optical rotatory dispersion (ORD), the absolute configurations of compounds 3 and 4 are firstly confirmed and, respectively, characterized as (4S,7S,8R), (4S,7S,8S). Bioassay results indicate that these metabolites 1–5 exhibit weak inhibitory effect on Helicobacter pylori 159 with MIC values of ≥16 μg/mL. An in-depth discussion for enhancement of fungal metabolite diversity is also proposed in this work.

Published: January 2022

The article describes a mathematical model of interconnected electromechanical and thermal processes in a linear induction motor (LIM). Here, we present the structure of the thermal model and provide the calculation formulas of the model. The thermal model consisted of eight control volumes on each tooth pitch of the LIM. Moreover, we also present a model of electromechanical processes and its interaction with the thermal model. The electromechanical model was based on the detailed magnetic and electrical equivalent circuits of the LIM. Model verification was performed using a model based on the finite element method and using experimental data. We also conducted a study focused on the necessity of considering the influence of various features of the thermal processes. We herein discuss the application of the model implemented in the MATLAB/Simulink, which was used to analyze the thermal performance of linear transport and technological induction motors. For the traction single-sided linear induction motor, we determined limits of safe operation by considering the unevenness of heating along the length in two cases: natural cooling and forced cooling. For forced cooling, required values of air flow were determined. For the arc induction motor of the screw press, the influence of various factors (i.e., reduction of the stroke, the use of a soft start, and the use of a forced cooling) on heating was evaluated.

“Attention! A Door Could Open.”—Introducing Awareness Messages for Cyclists to Safely Evade Potential Hazards
Authors: von Sawitzky Tamara , Grauschopf Thomas , Riener Andreas
Published: January 2022

Numerous statistics show that cyclists are often involved in road traffic accidents, often with serious outcomes. One potential hazard of cycling, especially in cities, is “dooring”—passing parked vehicles that still have occupants inside. These occupants could open the vehicle door unexpectedly in the cyclist’s path—requiring a quick evasive response by the cyclist to avoid a collision. Dooring can be very poorly anticipated; as a possible solution, we propose in this work a system that notifies the cyclist of opening doors based on a networked intelligent transportation infrastructure. In a user study with a bicycle simulator (N = 24), we examined the effects of three user interface designs compared to a baseline (no notifications) on cycling behavior (speed and lateral position), perceived safety, and ease of use. Awareness messages (either visual message, visual message + auditory icon, or visual + voice message) were displayed on a smart bicycle helmet at different times before passing a parked, still-occupied vehicle. Our participants found the notifications of potential hazards very easy to understand and appealing and felt that the alerts could help them navigate traffic more safely. Those concepts that (additionally) used auditory icons or voice messages were preferred. In addition, the lateral distance increased significantly when a potentially opening door was indicated. In these situations, cyclists were able to safely pass the parked vehicle without braking. In summary, we are convinced that notification systems, such as the one presented here, are an important component for increasing road safety, especially for vulnerable road users.
Intensive Fishing Effort and Market Controls as Management Tools for Invasive Aquatic Species: A Review
Authors:   Department of Fisheries, Animal & Veterinary Science, University of Rhode Island, 9 East Alumni Ave., Kingston, Rhode Island, 02881 USA, RICE MICHAEL A.
Published: January 2022

Invasive aquatic species may disrupt ecosystems and cause socioeconomic damage. Biosecurity protocols were developed to prevent transport and unintended introductions of invasive species, but less attention has been paid to management once they become established. The use of classical fisheries stock assessment to determine levels at which selectively targeted fisheries elicit recruitment overfishing is discussed. Case studies of several species of invasive aquatic organisms, including lionfish Pterois spp. two species of mytilids and three species of crayfish, including Faxonius rusticus (Girard, 1852), are discussed as examples. Fecundity as measured by egg production rate (EPR) is a key factor determining how the various species react to fishing pressure. Ecosystem modelling of predatorprey relations between indigenous and invasive aquatic species suggests that restricting fishing effort on indigenous predators of invasive prey may be as effective in managing invasive species in lieu of directly increasing fishing effort on the targeted species itself. Invasive mytilids Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas, 1771) and Mytella strigata (Hanley, 1843) may not be effectively controlled by intensive fishing effort due to high EPR values. However, crayfish that brood offspring and exhibit much lower EPR values may be ideal candidates for stock assessment and setting fishing effort targets to promote recruitment overfishing. Recommendations for managing invasive aquatic species include: collecting data on population dynamics of the invasive species; assessing predator populations; developing fisheries that target the invasive species; and collecting socioeconomic data to understand the human dimensions of the impacts of the invasive species and inform subsequent policy development.

Os processos industriais nas refinarias de petróleo utilizam as bombas centrifugas para atuar na importante atividade de transporte de líquido por tubulações, onde ficam submetidas constantemente ao risco serem danificadas. As ações que colocam as bombas centrifugas em risco são originadas por diversos motivos, tais como, falhas no projeto da sua instalação, o tipo de produto transportado, o desgaste devido a sua vida útil e por flutuações de cargas e variações de pressão, vazão e temperatura, que são as variáveis físicas inerentes ao processo de produção. As ferramentas computacionais baseadas em lógica clássica que, devido aos seus princípios binários, não aceita contradição, têm apresentado dificuldades no monitoramento eficiente, visto que os dados provenientes dessas inúmeras fontes podem ser contraditórios. Neste trabalho foi desenvolvido um sistema dedicado ao monitoramento de uma bomba centrifuga funcionando no transporte de Nafta em uma refinaria de petróleo. O sistema de monitoramento utiliza os algoritmos da Lógica Paraconsistente Anotada (LPA), cujos fundamentos, sob certas condições, aceita a contradição sem perder a capacidade de oferecer conclusões válidas. Neste primeiro protótipo a configuração dos algoritmos da LPA foi estruturada para monitorar fenômenos físicos anormais gerados por variações de pressão, de temperatura, e ocorrências de trepidação na estrutura que indicam a presença da cavitação, danificando a bomba centrifuga de modo irreversível. A estrutura computacional configurada com os algoritmos da LPA, mostrou bons resultados nos testes desenvolvidos o que levam a considerá-la capaz de alertar a operação de modo eficiente, evitando danos na bomba centrifuga sob monitoração.

O Biodiesel é misturado ao diesel rodoviário, atualmente variando entre 10% e 12% de biodiesel, formando o diesel B S10 e Diesel B S500 que é distribuído para os postos revendedores e consumido em todo país. Esse percentual é responsável pela diminuição de enxofre emitido para atmosfera, pois o biodiesel não possui esse contaminante em sua composição, além de proporcionar efeitos de degradação biológica e físico-química extremamente danosos aos consumidores finais. O biodiesel utilizado na região norte é afetado pela logística, clima, tempo de armazenagem e pela própria higroscopicidade, agregando mais umidade do que outras regiões do país com a consequente elevação do teor de água acima do limite especificado de 350 mg/kg, regulado pela ANP n° 45/2014. Pretendeu-se com este trabalho traçar um perfil das análises físico-químicas dos produtos comercializado na região, bem como realizar um monitoramento sistemático do biodiesel e diesel B armazenados nos tanques de uma distribuidora da região norte. Face às misturas realizadas do biodiesel com o diesel fornecido entregue em Manaus buscou-se também traçar um do perfil da qualidade desses combustíveis nos tanques da distribuidora e que são comercializados para os postos de gasolina e consumidor final. Observando-se que biodiesel apresentou uma diminuição do teor de água mais ainda está acima do limite de especificação, o diesel B S10 está próximo do limite que atualmente é 200 mg/kg e o B S500 apresentou valor de teor de água abaixo de 300 mg/kg.

O Presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar teoricamente o conceito de Teoria da Atividade desenvolvido por Leontiev, e, analisar o estado da arte, das pesquisas que têm sido realizadas utilizando os fundamentos dessa teoria, em relação às suas contribuições para a formação de professores que ensinam Matemática nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Opta por realizar uma pesquisa bibliográfica, buscando na literatura os fundamentos da Teoria da Atividade a fim de defini-la conceitualmente, e, na sequência, revisita as pesquisas que têm sido realizadas nos últimos anos sobre a temática. Concluí o quão importante é a utilização dos princípios da Teoria da Atividade para organizar, seja o ensino de Matemática, ou os experimentos formativos que são ofertados a professores que ensinam Matemática nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, no intuito de garantir um entrosamento coletivo dos participantes nestes movimentos de formação.
A crise dos direitos humanos e a institucionalização da “invenção do outro” / The human rights crisis and the institutionalization of the “invention of the other”

Published: January 2022

O presente trabalho tem por finalidade analisar a importância do caráter emancipatório atribuído aos direitos humanos em contextos sociais plurais e marcado por estratificações sociais responsáveis pela institucionalização da invenção do outro. Para tanto, mediante uma análise bibliográfica qualitativa e multidisciplinar envolvendo, principalmente, as áreas de concentração Direito Constitucional, Sociologia Jurídica e Filosofia do Direito, buscar-se-á analisar o processo de construção da realidade social, de modo a evidenciar que o plano fático ancora-se sob um imaginário de perseguição aos grupos destoantes e que existe um enviesamento dos mecanismos de proteção em favor da classe dominante. Embora haja a importância histórica dessas conquistas, foi observado que uma das formas de superação da atual crise dos direitos humanos se dará através de uma releitura decolonial, para que o seu caráter instrumental de proteção à humanidade seja capaz de atingir todos os grupos sociais e suas distantes classes, sobretudo, seguindo uma visão cosmopolita capaz de romper com os enlaces imperialistas ainda existentes sistema-mundo contemporâneo.

O câncer de esôfago é uma importante enfermidade, principalmente, para o sexo masculino, tendo, segundo o INCA (Instituto Nacional de Câncer), uma estimativa de mais de 10 mil novos casos por ano, sendo mais de 8 mil atribuídos a este grupo. Assim como nos demais tipos de câncer, é axiomática a importância de obter o diagnóstico precoce, porém, aqui se encontra um desafio desse quadro: em sua fase inicial, é assintomático ou apresenta sintomas inespecíficos. Dentre os fatores de risco, pode-se destacar o tabagismo e o consumo frequente de bebidas muito quentes. Esse estudo objetiva analisar o número de internações, em caráter de urgência, de pacientes acometidos por neoplasias malignas do esôfago no Brasil entre jan/2015 e abr/2019, fazendo um comparativo entre as regiões brasileiras. 2 METODOLOGIA Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico retrospectivo com análise comparativa baseado nos dados de internações por neoplasias malignas do esôfago por região do Brasil registrados no DATASUS no período de janeiro de 2015 a abril de 2019. 3 RESULTADO E DISCUSSÃO O número de internações foi de 1.156 na região Norte, 7.518 na região Nordeste, 30.131 na região Sudeste, 15.012 na região Sul e 3.109 na região Centro-Oeste, totalizando 56.926 internações. A partir dos dados, foi evidenciada uma grande disparidade no número de casos ao comparar as regiões sul e sudeste com as demais. Tendo em vista que os principais fatores de risco são o tabagismo e o consumo frequente de bebidas quentes (65 °C ou mais) e que esses são comumente usados pela população como alternativas ao frio, a disparidade pode ser explicada segundo dados do IBGE (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística), que mostram que essas regiões apresentam as temperaturas médias anuais mais baixas do país, sendo mais extremas na região sul. Além disso, dados  do INCA demonstram que a região sul apresenta a maior proporção de fumantes de tabaco com 18 anos ou mais no Brasil, sendo seguida pela região sudeste. Nesse contexto, pode-se destacar ainda o consumo do chimarrão ou mate, uma bebida característica da cultura do Cone Sul e que é composto por uma cuia, uma bomba, erva-mate moída e água a aproximadamente 70 graus Celsius. Desprende-se do exposto que os habitantes das regiões Sul e Sudeste além de serem mais acometidos, representam um grupo de risco para essa enfermidade, principalmente, pelos hábitos de vida. Sendo assim, conclui-se que mudanças nos hábitos e rastreio precoce representam a melhor alternativa para frear o avanço no número de casos de neoplasias malignas no esôfago.

A crescente necessidade de custos mais baixos no processo produtivo condiz com a maior competitividade entre as empresas. Dessa forma, torna-se indispensável controlar as finanças e os processos sem afetar negativamente o serviço ao cliente. Neste contexto, a gestão da cadeia de suprimentos surge como um assunto primordial através do qual as empresas podem obter vantagem competitiva. Neste periódico são tratados os tópicos de gestão de estoques, gestão de relacionamento e sistemas integrados, todos relacionados ao assunto da cadeia de suprimentos. O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar e desenvolver uma forma de melhorar o fluxo do processo do tratamento de itens discrepantes recebidos de fornecedores. Por este motivo, é necessário um entendimento amplo da cadeia e um bom relacionamento com os mesmos e, junto a isso, um fluxo interno melhor definido e padronizado que, consequentemente, acarreta em um processo geral otimizado. Quanto à abordagem metodológica, a natureza da pesquisa é classificada como aplicada, com seus objetivos exploratórios, além do método utilizado ser o estudo de caso e a abordagem na coleta e análise de dados triangular metodológica. O estudo de caso foi realizado durante o ano de 2021.

Introdução - A Medicina Legal e a Odontologia Legal têm grande importância no processo de identificação, principalmente quando os profissionais da área recebem para análise apenas partes do corpo humano ou ossos isolados. O objetivo deste estudo é verificar o dimorfismo sexual e estimação da idade através de mensurações angulares utilizando mandíbulas secas de adultos. Material e Métodos - Os autores estudaram uma amostra de 189 mandíbulas secas, sendo 108 do sexo masculino e 81 do sexo feminino, que pertenceram a indivíduos com idade acima de 20 anos com sexo e idade conhecidos com absoluta segurança. Os ossos pertencem ao acervo do Laboratório de Anatomia Humana da Faculdade de Medicina da FAP-Araripina, localizada no Estado de Pernambuco. Para este estudo foram realizadas as seguintes mensurações: ângulo mandibular (am) e ângulo da incisura mandibular (aim). Resultados - De acordo com a análise estatística, houve índice de acerto de 60,5% por regressão logística e 60,19% pela análise de função discriminante. Através do teste t houve diferença significativa entre as médias da variável am (p=0,0027) não ocorrendo o mesmo na variável aim (p=0,7742). Com relação aos intervalos de confiança verificou-se que houve interposição de faixas nas duas variáveis. Utilizou-se também o método da regressão linear múltipla para a predição da idade, constatando que o modelo não foi significativo (p=0,1042), muito pouco da variação da idade está associada às variações das medidas efetuadas. Conclusões - Os resultados permitiram uma análise quantitativa dos ossos estudados e seu comportamento em relação ao sexo e idade com estabelecimento de metodologia estatística para avaliação futura.
Estudo comparativo de duas técnicas laboratoriais para avaliação do sedimento urinário/ Comparative study of two laboratory techniques for urinary sediment evaluation

A análise da urina para fins diagnósticos remonta aos tempos antigos. Por muitos séculos, a inspeção visual da urina foi considerada tão importante quanto a palpação do pulso no diagnóstico. O exame de urina é a terceira análise mais solicitada em laboratórios clínicos e pode ser usado para identificar pacientes com doenças renais, infecções do trato urinário ou diabetes mellitus e pode fazer parte do check-up anual de saúde. Deste modo, utilizar uma metodologia com melhor eficácia é de grande valia no âmbito do diagnóstico clínico. Este estudo teve por objetivo descrever as semelhanças e diferenças entre o método da NBR-15268 e SBPC/ML para a sedimentoscopia na realização do exame de urina de rotina. Trata-se de um estudo de revisão de literatura, com procedimento descritivo e comparativo de trabalhos científicos publicados entre 2011 e 2021, nos idiomas português e inglês. O estudo foi realizado nos seguintes bancos de dados: Scielo (Scientific Electronic Library Online), Lilacs (Centro Latino-Americano e do Caribe de Informação em Ciências da Saúde), NIH-NCBI-Pubmed (Centro Nacional de Informação Biotecnológica – Biblioteca Nacional de Medicina) e Google Acadêmico nos quais foram pesquisados os seguintes descritores: urina, métodos de sedimentoscopia, microscopia. Os métodos comparados diferem-se no tempo de centrifugação, na quantidade de sedimento analisado, no tamanho da lâmina e quantidade de campos analisado na microscopia. Dessa forma, futuros estudos são importantes para uma melhor padronização do exame de urina em âmbito nacional, corroborando com valores de referência associados aos significados clínicos dos pacientes.
