Authors: Abramenko Ludmila , Lovisi Giovanni Marco , Fonseca Diego de Lima , Abelha Lucia
Published: July 2017

Resumo Introdução Existem poucos estudos acerca da avaliação das atitudes dos trabalhadores em saúde mental em relação aos indivíduos com transtornos mentais no Brasil, principalmente em cidades de médio e pequeno porte. Portanto, foi conduzido um estudo seccional para avaliar as atitudes dos profissionais de saúde mental que trabalham em uma pequena cidade do interior do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Método Foram avaliados 155 trabalhadores em saúde mental do município de Carmo, em novembro de 2015, utilizando a escala Community Attitudes Toward Mentally Ill (CAMI-BR). A CAMI tem quatro subescalas: Autoritarismo, Benevolência, Restrição Social e Ideologia de Saúde Mental Comunitária. Resultados Os trabalhadores, na sua maioria, apresentaram atitudes positivas para com os pacientes psiquiátricos. A subescala que teve pontuação mais alta foi Benevolência, seguida por Ideologia Comunitária, enquanto Restrição Social e Autoritarismo obtiveram as pontuações mais baixas. As variáveis que tiveram associação significativa com as atitudes positivas foram: faixa etária, categoria profissional e nível educacional. As pessoas mais jovens e com mais anos de estudo foram as que mostraram atitudes mais positivas. Os Cuidadores apresentaram atitudes mais negativas quando comparados às outras categorias. Conclusão Embora ainda persistam algumas atitudes autoritárias no cuidado dos pacientes psiquiátricos, os trabalhadores de Carmo têm atitudes positivas relacionadas às pessoas com transtorno mental e sua inclusão na comunidade, o que fortalece a implementação das reformas da assistência psiquiátrica no município.
A epidemia transexual: histeria na era da ciência e da globalização?
Authors: Jorge Marco Antonio Coutinho , Travassos Natália Pereira
Published: July 2017

Este artigo explora questões relativas à transexualidade partindo da noção psicanalítica da histeria como estrutura básica do sujeito. As impressionantes epidemias de histeria ocorridas ao longo da história revelam como a histeria produz questionamentos radicais sobre o enigma da diferença sexual dirigidos ao saber dominante de cada época. Para responder à questão sobre qual é o lugar da histeria na contemporaneidade, lançamos a seguinte hipótese: a mais significativa forma assumida pela histeria hoje é a epidemia de transexualidade, produzida no encontro com o discurso da ciência, dominante na cultura globalizada.

Os fundamentos transcendentais da daseinsanalyse psiquiátrica de Ludwig Binswanger
Authors: Alvarenga Rodrigo
Published: July 2017

Ludwig Binswanger compreendeu que era necessário reestruturar o método de investigação e abordagem dos fenômenos psicóticos, pelo afastamento da ontologia cartesiana do sujeito e do objeto, o qual pressupunha o dualismo e o solipsismo da consciência, para fundar uma abordagem intersubjetiva da psiquiatria. O objetivo desta pesquisa é justamente examinar esse percurso fenomenológico da Daseinsanalyse psiquiátrica de Ludwig Binswanger, no que se refere ao cumprimento daquilo para o qual ela própria se propôs, por meio da assimilação da investigação transcendental no campo das psicoses.

Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT Objective: to develop, evaluate and validate a surgical safety checklist for patients in the pre and postoperative periods in surgical hospitalization units. Method: methodological research carried out in a large public teaching hospital in the South of Brazil, with application of the principles of the Safe Surgery Saves Lives Programme of the World Health Organization. The checklist was applied to 16 nurses of 8 surgical units and submitted for validation by a group of eight experts using the Delphi method online. Results: the instrument was validated and it was achieved a mean score ≥1, level of agreement ≥75% and Cronbach’s alpha >0.90. The final version included 97 safety indicators organized into six categories: identification, preoperative, immediate postoperative, immediate postoperative, other surgical complications, and hospital discharge. Conclusion: the Surgical Safety Checklist in the Pre and Postoperative periods is another strategy to promote patient safety, as it allows the monitoring of predictive signs and symptoms of surgical complications and the early detection of adverse events.

Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT Objectives: to compare the quality of life and religious-spiritual coping of palliative cancer care patients with a group of healthy participants; assess whether the perceived quality of life is associated with the religious-spiritual coping strategies; identify the clinical and sociodemographic variables related to quality of life and religious-spiritual coping. Method: cross-sectional study involving 96 palliative outpatient care patient at a public hospital in the interior of the state of São Paulo and 96 healthy volunteers, using a sociodemographic questionnaire, the McGill Quality of Life Questionnaire and the Brief Religious-Spiritual Coping scale. Results: 192 participants were interviewed who presented good quality of life and high use of Religious-Spiritual Coping. Greater use of negative Religious-Spiritual Coping was found in Group A, as well as lesser physical and psychological wellbeing and quality of life. An association was observed between quality of life scores and Religious-Spiritual Coping (p<0.01) in both groups. Male sex, Catholic religion and the Brief Religious-Spiritual Coping score independently influenced the quality of life scores (p<0.01). Conclusion: both groups presented high quality of life and Religious-Spiritual Coping scores. Male participants who were active Catholics with higher Religious-Spiritual Coping scores presented a better perceived quality of life, suggesting that this coping strategy can be stimulated in palliative care patients.

RESUMO As doenças pulmonares intersticiais constituem um grupo de doenças difusas do parênquima pulmonar, no qual a fibrose pulmonar intersticial está incluída. Histologicamente, esta se caracteriza por hiperplasia de pneumócitos tipo II, hiperplasia ou hipertrofia de músculo liso e fibrose. Embora a patogenia da fibrose pulmonar intersticial não esteja bem elucidada, devido às semelhanças microscópicas encontradas nos pneumócitos tipo II em felinos e na forma familiar da doença em humanos, acredita-se que haja caráter genético para o seu desenvolvimento. Os sinais clínicos frequentemente relatados incluem desconforto respiratório, cianose, letargia e perda de peso. Devido ao caráter progressivo e à ausência de tratamento específico, a doença apresenta prognóstico desfavorável. Foi atendida uma gata de 12 anos de idade, com histórico de dispneia há 20 dias. Ao exame clínico, o animal apresentou dispneia expiratória restritiva, crepitação à ausculta torácica e foi visualizado padrão intersticial ao exame radiográfico do tórax. A paciente foi submetida à punção com agulha fina de tecido pulmonar e veio a óbito algumas horas após o procedimento, apresentando insuficiência respiratória aguda. No exame histológico do tecido pulmonar, foi verificada a ocorrência de fibrose pulmonar idiopática. O objetivo do presente trabalho é relatar um caso de dispneia expiratória restritiva em um felino doméstico devido à fibrose pulmonar idiopática, já que, segundo o conhecimento dos autores, não há nenhum relato da ocorrência da doença no país.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to verify the existence of differences between hens from the Barred Plymouth Rock (PRB) breed and White Plymouth Rock (PRW) breed by multivariate analysis of weekly egg production and cumulative during the years of 1998 and 2010, from the Laboratório de Avicultura (LAVIC) of the Departamento de Zootecnia at the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM). For the analysis of the univariate and multivariate variance, the experimental design was completely randomized with two treatments (breed) and 299 repetitions of the PRW breed and 350 of the PRB breed. The parameters analyzed were the weekly productions of eggs per bird from the 21st to the 50th week of age (P21, P22, ..., P50) and production of eggs accumulated being from the 21st to the 25th (PA1), 21st to the 30th (PA2), 21st to the 35th (PA3), 21st to the 40th (PA4), 21st to the 45th (PA5) and 21st to 50th (PA6). Analyzes of univariate and multivariate variance were conducted and the comparison of means were made by "T" Student and Wilks respectively (P < 0, 05). Based on the results, an analysis of the principal components was performed with parameters PA1, PA2, PA4, PA5 and PA6. With the average egg production per family accumulated, a cluster analysis using Euclidean distance and single linkage method (nearest neighbors) was performed. The first two principal components meet the total variation in egg production accumulated from the 21st to 25th, 21st to 30th, 21st to 40th, 21st to 45th and 21st to 50th weeks of age. Most of the phenotypic variation of the layers can be explained by the production of eggs accumulated from the 21st until the 40th week of age, and this variable is highly correlated with total egg production. Families from the PRW and PRB breed form seven distinct groups, but homogeneous by the similarity between them. This allows direct crossings between different groups, in the pursuit for heterosis.

Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT Often, in pet birds, any stimulus to lay eggs is unwanted in order to reduce reproductive diseases and disorders. The objectives of this study were: to determine the time necessary to promote ovary involution after an eight hour photoperiod using laying Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica); to connect the ovarian radiographic measurements with egg production; and to compare these measurements with direct ovary data obtained at necropsy. Birds were separated into three groups: 12h/24d (control group - 12h photoperiod for 24 days), 8h/24d and 8h/36d (8h photoperiod for 24 and 36 days). After euthanasia, all cadavers were x-rayed to measure ovary length and height. Birds were necropsied to measure ovarian length and weight. Results: radiographic ovary length demonstrated strong and positive correlation (r=0.96) with direct ovary length of all three groups; laying quails showed higher ovary height (p=0.025) and length (p=0.009) than non-laying quails; eight hours of artificial light per day promotes ovary length (p=0.025) and weight (p=0.009) reduction. Conclusions: radiography can estimate the ovary measure and indicate posture; an eight hour photoperiod of 24 days is not enough to promote ovarian regression, while the use of reduced photoperiod for 36 days promotes significant ovary involution.

RESUMO Dioctophyme renale é um parasito que afeta tanto animais como humanos e tem como órgão de eleição o rim direito. Relata-se o caso clínico-cirúrgico de um paciente canino com histórico de eliminação de três exemplares de D. renale pela urina e presença de parasitos no rim esquerdo e na cavidade abdominal. No Hospital de Clínicas Veterinárias da Universidade Federal de Pelotas, foram realizados exames pré-cirúrgicos, entre eles a ultrassonografia abdominal, que identificou a localização dos nematódeos, e o exame de Doppler pulsado dos vasos intrarrenais, que demonstrou aumento nos índices resistivos nas regiões avaliadas. O paciente foi conduzido para a realização de laparotomia exploratória, sendo removidos 23 parasitos da cavidade abdominal. A presença de D. renale causa graves lesões nos rins e nos demais órgãos da cavidade abdominal, sendo essencial o diagnóstico precoce e a remoção dos nematódeos para recuperação do paciente.

RESUMO A criação de serpentes peçonhentas em cativeiro vem se tornando prática cada vez mais difundida no país. Dessa forma, o conhecimento do manejo e da clínica de serpentes se torna prioritário, a fim de permitir maior sobrevida dos animais. No que concerne a serpentes peçonhentas, dados hematológicos já foram descritos na literatura, no entanto, apesar dos recursos utilizados, os dados analisados ainda são insipientes. Com o objetivo de caracterizar, morfologicamente, as células sanguíneas e de esclarecer diferenças morfológicas e funcionais, foram coletadas amostras de sangue de 50 serpentes pertencentes ao plantel do Instituto Vital Brasil. Foram confeccionados e analisados por microscopia óptica e citoquimicamente os esfregaços sanguíneos corados por métodos de Romanowsky e citoquímicos. Foi possível diferenciar as células, caracterizar e confirmar a existência de eosinófilo em B. atrox e C. durissus. Concluiu-se que a caracterização celular pode fornecer evidências indispensáveis ao entendimento da fisiologia de serpentes.

RESUMO Os quatis são mamíferos carnívoros da família Procyonidae, são animais onívoros, encontrados nas Américas do Norte, Central e Sul, sendo amplamente distribuídos no Brasil. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as alterações nos parâmetros sanguíneos de duas diferentes populações de quatis (Nasua nasua), da região oeste do Paraná, e avaliar a qualidade de vida e a interferência antrópica nos hábitos alimentares desses animais. A análise sorológica foi realizada em duas diferentes populações de quatis (Nasua nasua) que habitam duas unidades de conservação em regiões distintas no município de Foz do Iguaçu. Em uma das populações, foram visualizados cerca de cinquenta indivíduos, os quais se revelam em exposição direta aos seres humanos, e outra população menor, em torno de trinta indivíduos, os quais não possuem exposição direta aos seres humanos, o que, por sua vez, revelou importantes indicativos da qualidade de vida e de saúde desses animais. Foram realizadas avaliações bioquímicas do soro sanguíneo de 10 quatis adultos; cinco animais do grupo 1, população exposta aos seres humanos, e cinco animais do grupo 2, população com menor exposição. Com os resultados obtidos, foram feitas as comparações dos valores bioquímicos entre os grupos e com os valores de referência pesquisados na literatura. Os exames bioquímicos revelaram alterações significativas nos níveis de glicose e proteínas totais e alterações no nível plasmático de triglicerídeos nos quatis capturados na população em contado direto com seres humanos. Conclui-se que a saúde dos animais que possuem exposição direta com seres humanos está sendo afetada pelo consumo de uma dieta rica em carboidratos e gorduras, oriunda de alimentos industrializados fornecidos pelos turistas.
Fine needle aspiration cytology in feline skeletal muscle as a diagnostic tool for extramedullary plasmacytoma

Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT Extramedullary noncutaneous plasmacytoma (ENP) is a myeloproliferative disorder of plasma cells that rarely affects cats. This paper describes an ENP case revealed by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the mass in the skeletal muscle of an 8-month-old, male, mixed breed cat, which had a nodule in the left hind limb. The rapid immunoassay test confirmed the presence of feline leukemia virus (FeLV). The animal necropsy macroscopically showed the nodule came from the semimembranosus muscle. Histopathological examination ratified the cytological findings. Thus, this paper alerts to the existence of plasmacytoma located in the skeletal muscle of feline species. FNAC is a quick and efficient method for diagnosis of ENP.

Published: July 2017

RESUMO Com o objetivo de avaliar a qualidade dos ovos de codornas alimentadas com diferentes aditivos em duas fases de produção, 360 codornas foram distribuídas em um delineamento inteiramente ao acaso, em esquema de parcela subdividida no tempo (de nove até 23 e de 24 até 39 semanas de idade), com cinco tratamentos e oito repetições de nove aves cada, organizados da seguinte forma: controle, antibiótico, prebiótico, probiótico e simbiótico. As variáveis analisadas foram: unidade Haugh, índice de gema, porcentagem dos componentes do ovo, espessura de casca medida pelo micrômetro e pelo MEV. O fornecimento dos aditivos no segundo período aumentou a unidade Haugh e nos dois períodos avaliados proporcionou aumento da porcentagem de gema e de casca e da espessura da casca e de suas membranas. A inclusão dos aditivos foi mais eficiente em aumentar o peso dos ovos e a porcentagem de gema e de casca no segundo período. A espessura da casca (MEV) melhorou após inclusão de antibiótico e simbiótico na ração no segundo período. A inclusão de aditivos na ração melhora a qualidade dos ovos de codornas durante toda a fase produtiva. Antibiótico e simbiótico são mais eficazes em melhorar a espessura da casca dos ovos produzidos durante o segundo período produtivo.

ABSTRACT In order to improve the management and maintenance of the quality of life of captive wild birds, this study aimed to assess the food preferences of cockatiel chicks (Nymphicus hollandicus) kept in captivity. Thirty-two cockatiel chicks, three to 12 months of age, were kept in a galvanized, wire-netted vivarium with six ceramic feeders, two for an extruded diet, two for a dry-mashed diet and two for a seed mixture. Both extruded and dry-mashed food are commercial psittacine diets. Three round ceramic pots were used to provide water. The birds were exposed to 12 hours of artificial light (40 W incandescent lamps) during the experimental period of 27 days. The birds were observed by video filming, daily, through an ad libitum observation technique. The food consumption was 3.34±0.42g/bird/day of extruded feed, 1.58±0.44g/bird/day of dry-mashed diet and 3.73±0.10g/bird/day of seed mixture. In conclusion, the cockatiel chicks preferred the seed mixture and the extruded food over the dry-mashed diet.
Astronomia diurna: medida da abertura angular do Sol e da latitude local
Authors: Costa Ivan Ferreira da , Maroja Armando de Mendonça
Published: July 2017

O ensino de astronomia na educação básica, especialmente para crianças do ensino fundamental, apresenta desafios que vão além da formação dos professores e da disponibilidade de equipamentos. Uma dificuldade está no fato das atividades ocorrerem predominantemente no período diurno, o que impõe limitações para atividades de observação astronômica. No entanto, a observação do Sol abre possibilidades de experimentação diurna que permite o estudo de conceitos importantes relativos a astronomia e a geometria. De forma geral essa atividade proporciona também a compreensão do movimento de outros astros sobre a esfera celeste. O objetivo principal desse trabalho é apresentar recursos didáticos para o ensino de astronomia. O público alvo são os formadores de professores da educação básica, especialmente dos cursos de ciências naturais, matemática e física. Mostramos algumas metodologias de baixo custo para realizar análises do movimento do Sol a partir de fotografias ou de medidas diretas da imagem do Sol projetada por um pequeno espelho. Através da análise do movimento do Sol no céu são obtidas grandezas de interesse para astronomia como a abertura angular do Sol e a latitude local. Os resultados dessas medidas concordam com dados disponíveis na literatura.

Abstract Objectives: to identify the reasons for human milk donation according to different per capita income in donors who were registered in the human milk bank and center to promote breastfeeding at Instituto de Medicina Integral Professor Fernando Figueira (HMB/CIAMA/IMIP). Methods: this is a cross-sectional study. Data collection was carried out at the HMB/CIAMA/IMIP from March to May 2015. The sample was consisted of 155 donors. The data were obtained by applying a form elaborated by the researchers. For the data analysis the SPSS 13.0 software for Windows and Excel 2010 were used. Results: the reasons most mentioned by the donors with a per capita income of < 0.5 minimum wages were, in descending order: excess of milk /avoid wasting, solidarity, altruism and return to work. Donors with a per capita income of ≥ 0.5 minimum wages were, excess of milk /avoid wasting and return to work were the main reasons for donation, followed by solidarity and altruism. Conclusions: the reasons for human milk donation varied according to the per capita income. This knowledge will contribute with the necessary information for planning/improved interventions to capture new donors locally and nation wide.

Abstract Objectives: this study aimed to evaluate the environmental factors associated with excess weight in preschool children. Methods: a cross-sectional study involving 664 full-time preschoolers enrolled in public childcare centers in Vitória da Conquista (BA). The excess weight status has been defined according to the BMI/Age index and score Z above +2. The independent variables were grouped into maternal characteristics, socioeconomic, related to children and child care. We conducted multiple logistic regression to assess the association between excess weight and the variables studied. Results: a prevalence of excess weight was 5.7 %; 3.9% were overweight and 1.8% were obese. The factors associated with excess weight in children were cesarean delivery (OR: 2.59; IC95%: 1.11; 6.01); being singletons (OR: 3.32; IC95%: 1.44; 7.67); and exclusive breastfeeding of less than 4 months (OR: 2.59; IC95%: 1.12; 5.99). Conclusions: the results show that interventions to reduce and/or prevent excess weight should begin prenatally, with promotion of exclusive breastfeeding and natural birth, as well as nutritional advice for mothers with singletons.
SUSTENTABILIDADE E BIOPOLÍTICA: UM PROBLEMA PARA A CONTEMPORANEIDADE
Authors: Mansano Sonia Regina Vargas , Nalli Marcos
Published: July 2017

Resumo A discussão sobre a sustentabilidade ganhou visibilidade na segunda metade do século XX, quando foram realizadas diversas conferências internacionais. Assumindo uma configuração política, a relação entre homem e natureza conquistou a atenção de governos que, em alguma medida, vislumbraram os riscos que o desenvolvimento capitalista traz para o planeta. Entretanto, os acordos firmados nas discussões internacionais ainda guardam resultados discretos diante da gravidade instalada. É evidente que o interesse do Estado tem como foco o controle social da população, empreendendo, assim, um dos pilares do modelo neoliberal que preza pelo controle dos indivíduos em nome da segurança. No decorrer deste estudo, buscaremos mostrar que essa preocupação, difundida entre nações e governos, guarda uma dimensão biopolítica de regulação e controle que nem sempre está articulada à preservação efetiva da riqueza natural de nosso planeta, tendo em vista as restrições à produção de riquezas que ela necessariamente colocaria em curso.
FAMÍLIA E MULHER COMO INSTRUMENTOS DE GOVERNO NA ASSISTÊNCIA SOCIAL

Published: July 2017

Resumo Este artigo coloca em análise como a família e a mulher se constituíram nos principais pontos de intervenção da política de Estado da Assistência Social. Para tanto, traremos elementos que evidenciam os processos de emergência histórica desse interesse, utilizando o conceito de biopolítica de Foucault. Historicamente, a família e a mulher têm sido alvos privilegiados das estratégias de disciplinarização e regulamentação da existência. Aponta-se que as políticas de Estado da Assistência Social também produzem essas práticas seja privilegiando intervenções que engendram um modelo de família em suas práticas, seja criando regras para a inserção em serviços e benefícios que se pautam na associação entre a condição de mulher e a maternidade. Acreditamos que problematizar essas práticas e colocar em evidência seus efeitos pode contribuir na transformação das ações que são efetuadas no âmbito da Assistência Social.
USOS DE FOUCAULT NOS ESTUDOS DE PSICOLOGIA NO BRASIL
Authors: Ferreira Neto João Leite , Moreira Jacqueline de Oliveira , Araújo José Newton Garcia de , Drawin Carlos Roberto
Published: July 2017

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo é analisar o uso das contribuições de Foucault em artigos publicados em periódicos de Psicologia. Na amostra de 64 artigos pesquisados, há uma prevalência de estudos teóricos sobre os empíricos. Nos teóricos o tema da subjetividade é central, enquanto os empíricos abordam políticas públicas, especialmente as da saúde e da segurança. Duas questões orientaram a análise do material bibliográfico, a saber: (a) quais são as razões do uso extenso de Foucault na Psicologia? (b) como se dá a utilização do referencial foucaultiano nos textos analisados? Privilegiaram-se aspectos quantitativos para sustentar a discussão. A abordagem política de cunho pluralista adotada por Foucault compõe as razões do interesse dos psicólogos brasileiros por sua obra. Os artigos analisados contêm muitas referências aos textos de Foucault, mas pouca revisão da literatura contemporânea, o que indica baixa interlocução com a produção científica da área.

Resumo Introdução O sucesso de restaurações indiretas depende de uma adequada união entre o cimento e o substrato dental. Portanto, a seleção e o conhecimento das características dos agentes cimentantes são importantes para a retenção da restauração indireta. Objetivo Avaliar a resistência de união de dois cimentos resinosos diferentes à cerâmica de dissilicato de lítio. Metodologia Dois grupos experimentais foram confeccionados: cimento resinoso convencional (Grupo CRC) e cimento resinoso autoadesivo (Grupo CRA). Para isso, dez discos de cerâmica de dissilicato de lítio (10 mm) foram pré-fabricados e, sobre cada disco, foram confeccionados quatro postes de cimento (0,7×1,0 mm), obtendo-se um total de 20 amostras de cada tipo de cimento. Os discos tiveram o mesmo tratamento de superfície para os dois grupos, que é padrão para as cerâmicas ricas em sílica, de acordo com o protocolo estabelecido pelo fabricante. As amostras foram submetidas ao teste de microcisalhamento para avaliar a resistência de união entre o cimento e a cerâmica. Posteriormente, o modo de falha foi analisado em microscópio ótico. Resultado Os dados obtidos foram submetidos a teste estatístico. Foi observado que o grupo CRC apresentou maiores valores de resistência de união (15,29 MPa) em relação ao grupo CRA (12,41 MPa). Na análise do modo de falha, nenhuma amostra obteve fratura do tipo adesiva. Em ambos os grupos, CRC (75%) e CRA (65%), obtiveram-se mais falhas do tipo mista, seguidas pela falha coesiva. Conclusão Ambos os cimentos apresentaram adesão à cerâmica. O cimento resinoso convencional apresentou maior adesão a cerâmica à base de dissilicato de lítio que o cimento resinoso autoadesivo.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease
Authors: Nazareth Aparecida Marcelino de
Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT Both Alzheimer's disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) are two common forms of disease worldwide and many studies indicate that people with diabetes, especially DM, are at higher risk of developing AD. AD is characterized by progressive cognitive decline and accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) forming senile plaques. DM is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia in the context of insulin resistance and relative lack of insulin. Both diseases also share common characteristics such as loss of cognitive function and inflammation. Inflammation resulting from Aβ further induces production of Aβ1-42 peptides. Inflammation due to overnutrition induces insulin resistance and consequently DM. Memory deficit and a decrease in GLUT4 and hippocampal insulin signaling have been observed in animal models of insulin resistance. The objective of this review was to show the shared characteristics of AD and DM.

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the most frequent depressive symptoms and their association with cognition in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods: 48 patients with PD and 44 controls (CG), aged between 50 and 80 years and with at least 4 years of formal education, all with MCI and none diagnosed with depression, were assessed. Patients and controls were matched for age, education, and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score. Participants underwent clinical evaluation with a neurologist followed by neuropsychological assessment employing the instruments: MMSE, Clock Drawing Test, Verbal Fluency Test (semantic and phonemic), Figures Memory Test (FMT), Stroop Test, Trail Making Test, Digit Span (WAIS III), Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT), Hooper Visual Organization Test, and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Results: The most frequent depressive symptoms in the PD group were: difficulty working, fatigue and sleep disorders (the latter also being present in CG). BDI score correlated negatively with learning and recognition memory in both groups. Episodic memory, evaluated by the FMT and RAVLT tests, was the cognitive function showing greatest impairment. Conclusion: Some of the depressive symptoms observed in PD patients with MCI seem to be attributable to complications of PD, while others are common to both PD and MCI, making differential diagnoses complex but crucial.

ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) represents a major public health problem and it is therefore crucial that modifiable risk factors be known prior to onset of dementia in late-life. The "Australian National University - Alzheimer's Disease Risk Index" (ANU-ADRI) is one of the potential tools for primary prevention of the disease. Objective: The aim of this study was to devise an adapted version of the ANU-ADRI for use in Brazil. Methods: The instrument was translated from its original language of English into Portuguese and then back-translated into English by bilingual translators. It was subsequently reviewed and evaluated as to the degree of translation issues and equivalence. In this study, the ANU-ADRI was applied using individual (face-to-face) interviews in a public hospital, unlike the original version which is applied online by self-report. The final version (pretest) was evaluated in a sample of 10 participants with a mean age of 60 years (±11.46) and mean education of 11 years (±6.32). Results: The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) (inter-rater) was 0.954 (P<0.001 for a confidence interval (CI) of 95%=[0.932; 0.969]). Cultural equivalence was performed without the need for a second instrument application step. Conclusion: After cross-cultural adaptation, the language of the resultant questionnaire was deemed easily understandable by the Brazilian population.

ABSTRACT Gerstmann Syndrome (GS) is a rare neurological condition described as a group of cognitive changes corresponding to a tetrad of symptoms comprising agraphia, acalculia, right-left disorientation and finger agnosia. It is known that some specific brain lesions may lead to such findings, particularly when there is impairment of the angular gyrus and adjacent structures. In addition, the possibility of disconnection syndrome should be considered in some cases. The purpose of this article is to report a case of a young, cardiac patient, non-adherent to treatment, who presented with a stroke in which transient clinical symptoms were compatible with the tetrad of GS. The case report is followed by a discussion and brief review of the relevant literature.

Abstract Introduction: Flexibility is an essential component of physical aptitude that reduces the incidence of muscle distention and improves movement efficiency and posture. Objective: To analyze posterior chain flexibility and lower back pain (LBP) in farm workers from a city in western Santa Catarina state, Brazil. Methods: Quantitative and cross-sectional study conducted with 185 rural workers, average age of 44.24 (±10.83) years. The Rural Worker Health Questionnaire, containing individual issues related to work; sit and reach box, goniometer, visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry and Roland-Morris questionnaires were used to evaluate posterior chain flexibility, hamstring muscle length, pain and lumbar spine dysfunction, respectively. Flexibility was compared with the degree of dysfunction using one-way ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni post hoc test. Results: 181 (97.8%) workers reported LBP symptoms: 100% of the women and 95.2% of the men. The average Oswestry score was 7.09 (±8.25), Roland-Morris 1.22 (±1.63), and VAS 5.81 (±2.5). Average flexibility by the sit and reach test (SRT) was 23.91cm (±18.81); straight leg raise (SLR), 66° (±11.77) and popliteal angle 123.21° (±12.45). There was a significant difference in the popliteal angle (p = 0.003) and SLR (0.001) when compared with the degree of dysfunction. Women showed significant differences in all tests; however, the post hoc test showed a significant difference only in the SRT (p = 0.013), and women with minimal dysfunction had greater flexibility in relation to those with severe dysfunction. Conclusion: Self-reported LBP was severe and women with higher levels of dysfunction exhibited less posterior chain flexibility.

Abstract Introduction: The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) enables monitoring of the clinical evolution of a patient. Objective: This study aimed to characterize the evolution of disabilities in patients undergoing physical therapy following traffic accidents, using the ICF. Methods: A longitudinal study of 53 accident victims was conducted between April and October 2010, in a rehabilitation unit in the capital of Mato Grosso State, Brazil. Data from physical therapy evaluation were collected in 2 stages and coded by the ICF. Results: The average time between evaluation and reevaluation was 73.4 days. The evolution of functional impairment demonstrated a reduction in the number of patients with deficits, except for muscle tone functions. On initial evaluation, 90.6% had difficulty with sensory functions and pain, varying from mild to complete, decreasing to 67.9% on reevaluation, with pain still mostly present. Almost all patients (96.2%) had a disability of neuromusculoskeletal and movement related functions on initial assessment, with a decrease to 15.7% of patients on reevaluation. The greatest improvements were observed in the categories of muscle strength (36.7%) and gait pattern (30.6%). On reevaluation, improvement was also observed regarding perceived impairment of body structures, especially for those with severe and complete disability. Conclusion: The study confirmed a reduction in the percentage of patients with some form of disability, and positive development in functional capacity. The use of ICF enabled evaluation of physical disabilities and monitoring of the evolution of patients undergoing physical therapy.

Abstract Introduction: Scoliosis is characterized as a three-dimensional deformity. In this scenario, the use of shims can promote correction of postural imbalances. Objective: To verify the static changes associated with unilateral manipulation of shims in idiopathic scoliosis. Methods: Two experimental groups composed of participants with scoliosis with double and single curves, and a control group of participants without scoliosis. 10 reflective markers were used, filmed for 15 seconds in the static position in three conditions (no shim; low shim of 1 cm, and high shim of 3 cm) on the right and left foot. The following postural angles were calculated: alpha 1, alpha 2, alpha 3, and alpha 4. Results: There were differences in the shim condition between the control group (CG) and experimental scoliosis with “S” (GES) for alpha 2 and 4 and Scoliosis “C” (GEC) for alpha 2. For shims under the right foot, there were differences between the control group and GES for alpha 4 and the GEC for alpha 1, 2 and 4, and between shims for the GES for alpha 3 and 4. Shims under the left foot were responsible for significant differences between the control group and the GES and GEC groups. Conclusion: These static postural changes indicate that scoliosis curves show adaptability and postural reorganization in response to manipulation with shims, and the greatest influence is seen in the lower segments, both in simple and double curves. According to the results it is concluded that residual scoliotic curvatures have flexibility that allows postural adjustment with shims.

Abstract Introduction: For children with cerebral palsy, orthoses take an important role in improving posture, gait, functional performance and preventing secondary musculoskeletal disorders. Objective: To evaluate the influence of TheraTogs® on the posture, distribution of plantar pressure during gait and functional performance of a child with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy. Methods: A quantitative evaluation was carried out on a case study in which an 11-year-old child diagnosed with diplegic cerebral palsy underwent postural assessment through the Postural Assessment Software (PAS), plantar pressure distribution assessment during barefoot gait through the Emed-X system, before and after the intervention period of 8 weeks and functional assessment (Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory - PEDI), with and without TheraTogs®. Results: In posture, TheraTogs® had greater influence on hip extension and this change was greater during its use. In the plantar pressure distribution assessment, an increase in posteriorization of plantar pressure occurred in the initial contact, the performance of the push-off phase and initial swing phase improved. In functionality, the child showed improvements in mobility, however, their self-care ability with TheraTogs® was reduced. Conclusion: Although improvements in posture, gait and functionality were verified with the use of TheraTogs®, the excessive heat, difficulties in toileting and self-care were disadvantages in wearing TheraTogs®.

Abstract Introduction: Russian current is an electric current of average frequency that is able to restore the properties of skeletal muscle at a low treatment cost. It is essential to know the effects of Russian current in bone tissue, since electromagnetic energy could be an efficient and low cost method to treat bone disorders. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Russian current in the consolidation of tibia fracture in adult rats. Methods: 24 adult male Albinus Wistar rats wereused. The animals were divided randomly into two groups: control group (CG), composed of 12 animals, and Intervention Group (IG) consisting of 12 animals, both groups were submitted to osteotomy (proximal medial surface of the tibia). The IG underwent an electrical stimulation protocol with Russian current, while the CG did not undergo any kind of intervention. Euthanasia was performed in three animals of each group on the following days: 5, 10, 20, and 30 days of treatment. Results: The results suggested higher primary ossification, intense osteogenic activity, and increased thickness of the periosteum, characterizing more advanced ossification and a greater presence of trabecular bone marrow in rats in the group subjected to the treatment. In this way, we can assign one more beneficial effect to interventions with Russian current, for the treatment of postfracture rehabilitation. Conclusion: In both groups the bone tissue repair process occurred, but in the electrically stimulated group the osteogenesis process was more advanced.

Abstract Introduction: Functional resistance training (FRT) is becoming increasingly popular to improve physical fitness of practitioners, however, yet there are gaps in knowledge about effectiveness of FRT in relation conventional resistance training (CRT) in several ambits, as musculoskeletal complaints. Objective: Compare the effect of FRT and CRT in the musculoskeletal discomfort and magnitude of gain in muscle strength in healthy women. Methods: 52 women was divided into three groups, FRT (n = 15; 22 ± 2.35 years): functional resistance training; CRT (n = 14; 22.5 ± 1.78 years): conventional resistance training and CG (n = 13; 20.6 ± 1.10 years): no type of intervention. The training was periodized in 30 sessions over 12 weeks with 3 sessions per week. For the muscle strength variable used the 1RM test and for the musculoskeletal discomfort variable, the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ). Regarding the statistical analysis, all results took into consideration a 5% level of significance. Results: Considerable gain in muscle strength was observed for all exercises in both training groups. In addition, there was a tendency in CRT to relate a more musculoskeletal discomfort; presented 27.3% more complaints compared FRT in the MNQ. Conclusion: The FRT was as effective as the CRT for improving muscle strength, furthermore, there was a tendency for FRT to cause less musculoskeletal discomfort.

Abstract Introduction: Falls are among the most common and serious problems facing elderly women. Falling is associated with increased mortality, morbidity, reduced functioning, loss of independence and hospitalization. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the association among fear of falling, muscle strength, and functional abilities in community-dwelling elderly women. Methods: Forty-nine elderly women (70.57 ± 5.59 years) participated in this study. Records of falls, self-efficacy associated with falls (FES-I Brazil), functional abilities (the Timed Up and Down Stairs test [TUDS] and the Timed Up and Go test [TUG]), lower limb muscle strength (knee extensors and ankle plantar flexors), and hand grip strength were investigated as variables of interest. Descriptive statistics, the one-way ANOVA, and linear regression tests were used to analyze the association between fear of falling and falls with other variables (α = 0.05). Results: Elderly women who presented records of falls within the last year had lesser strength of knee extensors and plantar flexors (p ≤. 05). Those who had low self-efficacy associated with falls presented lower strength of knee extensors (p ≤. 01). Variables associated with functional abilities (r = 0.70) and lower limb strength (r = 0.53) showed a positive correlation (p ≤. 01). Conclusion: The concern with the fear of falling and falls may be negative effects caused by lower limb muscle weakness.
