Prediction of Citrullination Sites on the Basis of mRMR Method and SNN
Authors: Liu Min , Liu Guangzhong
Published: November 2019

Background:

Citrullination, an important post-translational modification of proteins, alters the molecular weight and electrostatic charge of the protein side chains. Citrulline, in protein sequences, is catalyzed by a class of Peptidyl Arginine Deiminases (PADs). Dependent on Ca2+, PADs include five isozymes: PAD 1, 2, 3, 4/5, and 6. Citrullinated proteins have been identified in many biological and pathological processes. Among them, abnormal protein citrullination modification can lead to serious human diseases, including multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Objective:

It is important to identify the citrullination sites in protein sequences. The accurate identification of citrullination sites may contribute to the studies on the molecular functions and pathological mechanisms of related diseases.

Methods and Results:

In this study, after an encoded training set (containing 116 positive and 348 negative samples) into the feature matrix, the mRMR method was used to analyze the 941- dimensional features which were sorted on the basis of their importance. Then, a predictive model based on a self-normalizing neural network (SNN) was proposed to predict the citrullination sites in protein sequences. Incremental Feature Selection (IFS) and 10-fold cross-validation were used as the model evaluation method. Three classical machine learning models, namely random forest, support vector machine, and k-nearest neighbor algorithm, were selected and compared with the SNN prediction model using the same evaluation methods. SNN may be the best tool for citrullination site prediction. The maximum value of the Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) reached 0.672404 on the basis of the optimal classifier of SNN.

Conclusion:

The results showed that the SNN-based prediction methods performed better when evaluated by some common metrics, such as MCC, accuracy, and F1-Measure. SNN prediction model also achieved a better balance in the classification and recognition of positive and negative samples from datasets compared with the other three models.

Authors: Gomes Michelle G. , Rocha Nattácia R. A.F. , Moura Alex A. , Merlo Nadine P. , Franco Júnior Moilton R. , Rodrigues Patrisia O.
Published: November 2019

Background::

The liquid molar volume (V) and the heat of vaporization (ΔHVAP) of four fatty acids (n-Heptanoic acid, Hexadecanoic acid, n-Hexanoic acid and n-
Dodecanoic acid) have been estimated.

Objective::

This paper aims to calculate the liquid molar volume and the heat of vaporization
of four fatty acids under the critical point using two traditional equations of state:
Peng-Robinson (PR) [21] and Soave-Redlich-Kwong.

Methods:

The area rules method applicable to obtaining the saturation pressure of the
compounds has been used. The properties of the acids investigated in this work have been
compared with those provided by literature. For molar volumes, the equations of state have
given improved predictions when compared to traditional equations such as Rackett equation
and so on. According to the vapor enthalpy calculations, no reference value was required.

Results:

In general, the Clausius-Clapeyron equation provides a better estimation of the
vaporization enthalpy of fatty acids when Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) equation was
used. The heat of vaporization for fatty acids can be calculated with good reliability in
comparison with the Watson equation if suitable equation of state is used.

Conclusion:

Accurate results for heat of vaporization can be reached in comparison with
the Watson equation if the reliable equation of state is used.

Recent Development of Artificial Intelligence Applied in Echocardiography: A Review (Preprint)
Authors: Liu Lu , Elazab Ahmed , Lei Baiying , Wang Tianfu
Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques has led to more intelligent and automatic computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems in echocardiography over the past few years. Automatic CAD mainly includes classification, detection of anatomical structures, and tissue segmentation.

OBJECTIVE

This review aims to provide a guide for researchers and clinicians on the recent applications of AI in echocardiography and identify how echocardiography could incorporate AI into daily clinical practice in the future.

METHODS

We researched the literature to summarize the applications of AI in echocardiography from January 2010 to October 2019 in the main databases and several important conference proceedings. The total number of obtained records was 93 articles, from which we selected 35 articles for a detailed review according to inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria.

RESULTS

AI has shown promising improvements in the analysis and interpretation of echocardiography to a new stage in the fields of standard views detection, automated analysis of chamber size and function, and assessment of valve disease, myocardial disease, congenital structural abnormality, and treatment.

CONCLUSIONS

AI has achieved state-of-the-art performance across different applications in echocardiography. However, there are some challenges such as the limited available datasets, and AI can provide satisfactory results by devising various strategies to overcome these challenges. We believe AI has the potential to improve the accuracy of diagnosis, reduce time consumption, and decrease the workload of cardiologists.

Published: November 2019

Here is the contribution of K. N. Kostur in the development of national military naval medicine based on documentary data. K. N. Kostur was born on May 6, 1921 in the village of Kuzmin, Gorodok district of the Khmelnitsky region of the Ukrainian SSR. After graduating secondary school with ten years of study, he entered the Naval Medical School (NMS). He passed the first practice in August 1940 on the cruiser «Aurora», which was in Kronstadt. In late October 1941, after an early release from NMS, he was sent to the «Road of Life». The convoy of the Red Banner Baltic Fleet (RBBF), where he served, took the wounded, women and children out of besieged Leningrad. Konstantin Nikolaevich Kostur, being a senior medical assistant, was part of the Railway Artillery Battery of the 263rd Division of Railway Artillery of the 1st Guards Brigade of the Red Banner Baltic Fleet. He participated in combat operations to break the blockade of Leningrad, liberate the islands in the Vyborg gulf, and also liberate the Baltic states and East Prussia. Several post-war years participated in the combat demining of the Finland gulf. Then — 5 years of study at the Naval Medical Academy (NMS), service on the cruiser «Maxim Gorky» as the head of the medical service, and also — 22 years of hard work in the 1st order of Lenin Naval Hospital of the Leningrad Naval Base. Here K. N. Kostur went from the young attending doctor to the head of the gastroenterological department and the lead therapist of the hospital. After the release to the reserve, Konstantin Nikolayevich until the last day was actively working as a therapist at the 285th Polyclinic of 1st order of Lenin Naval Hospital of the Leningrad Naval Base, assisting military personnel, members of their families, military retirees and civilians. Despite high positions and great administrative and medical work, K. N. Kostur conducted deep research studies on topical issues of naval therapy and gastroenterology, was actively engaged in inventive and rationalization activities.

Authors: Rybarkiewicz Jacek
Published: November 2019

Firma WM Wiatrowiec Energie w uznaniu dogodnych warunków naturalnych i w porozumieniu z władzami Miasta i Gminy Sieniawa wszczęła działania na rzecz lokalizacji farm wiatrowych na terenie powołanego w 1986 r. Sieniawskiego Obszaru Chronionego Krajobrazu (SOChK). Planowane zagospodarowanie kompleksu 51 wiatraków wymagało zbadania zgodności ze stanem formalnoprawnym obszaru i brakiem konfliktów kulturowo-ekologicznych. Trwający od czasu powołania SOChK, postępujący, dewaluacyjny proces przekształceń antropogenicznych i kulturowych oraz związane z tym przekształcenia ekosystemowe stały się impulsem dla nowych badań i nowego spojrzenia na problem ochrony krajobrazu. Przeprowadzone przez autorski zespół ekspercki od grudnia 2009 do marca 2011 roku aktualizacje waloryzacyjne przyrodniczo-krajobrazowo-przestrzenne Miasta i Gminy Sieniawa prowadziły do oceny nowych uwarunkowań i związanej z tym zasadności ewentualnej weryfikacji granic SOChK, dającej możliwość realizacji przedmiotowego przedsięwzięcia. Jednocześnie zespół ekspercki zwrócił uwagę, że przy okazji ustanawiania obszarów chronionego krajobrazu niezbędne jest stosowanie bardziej wnikliwych i wszechstronnych badań niż te, które były podstawą utworzenia SOChK.

In the era of digitization, parametric design creates new possibilities for its application in areas such as architecture and design as well as landscape architecture. However, it requires tools that can not only facilitate the design process, but also reduce its time consumption. The purpose of the article is to review the software used for parametric design supporting the work of landscape architects. The selected, most popular programs and plugins used by architects and designers, which are also indirectly used by landscape architects as well as software dedicated directly to landscape architects, were evaluated. Most of the discussed software has options for parametric design, while they only apply to selected elements. Due to the interdisciplinary character of landscape architecture, there is currently no single multifunctional program giving the possibility of comprehensive application of parametric design options to all aspects of a complex project. For this reason, landscape architects are forced to combine functions themselves using several of programs. This is a significant difficulty in carrying out the design process.

Published: November 2019

Introduction. Described in 1943 for the first time, breast necrosis during anticoagulant therapy is only rarely encountered in clinical practice. The objective of the article is to describe a patient who underwent anticoagulant therapy and developed breast necrosis during it. Case outline. A 57-year-old female patient was admitted to hospital with pain in her left breast, which upon examination showed to be erythematous, swelled, and hard. She had started experiencing the symptoms a few days earlier, and denied having had a fever. Over the previous four weeks she had received anticoagulant treatment (acenocoumarol) as popliteal embolectomy prophylaxis. The breast was firm, edematous, of limited mobility, and with no pectoral muscle infiltration. The breast ultrasound showed a homogeneous mass, with no signs of fluid retention or suspicious lesions. Upon admission, the patient began receiving intravenous antibiotic treatment and underwent blood tests. The second day upon admission, the patient?s breast revealed a clearly demarcated area of necrotic skin. Surgical treatment was indicated. The surgery was performed in two stages, the first of which included a partial resection of the necrotic breast tissue, and the second simplex mastectomy. Histological analysis showed severe superficial necrosis, with underlying diffuse deep venous thrombosis and marked arteritis of medium and small vessels. Focal areas of extensive necrosis were found deep in the breast parenchyma. Conclusion. Considering that breast necrosis is extremely rare, it is usually not suspected initially. Learning about the patient?s undergoing anticoagulant therapy is of crucial importance for reaching the right diagnosis. Breast abscesses should also be ruled out. Surgery is the treatment of choice, as changes to the breast tissue are usually irreversible.
dr Jovan Mijuskovic, precursor of cardiac surgery in Serbia
Authors: Velimirovic Dusan
Published: November 2019

The beginnings of cardiac surgery in Serbia date back to the aftermath of World War II, when the first ?closed heart surgery? was performed in Belgrade. It was done by Professor Vojislav Stojanovic at the Second Surgical Clinic, and shortly afterwards, during the 1950s, by Professor Izidor Papo at the Medical Military Academy, also in Belgrade. ?Open heart surgery,? using heart-lung machine, was introduced in Serbia in 1960, and performed by the same cardiac surgery pioneers. Some of the very first heart operations in the world had been done before cardiac surgery was even officially recognized as a surgical discipline. Therefore, they were performed only as lifesaving procedures in patients with heart wounds. This article describes the first successful surgical treatment of heart wound in Serbia. It was a penetrating revolver wound, and the operation took place on April 7, 1928, at Valjevo City hospital, performed by Dr. Jovan Mijuskovic, who had received his degree from the School of Medicine in Vienna in 1917, and over the years worked as director and chief of surgical departments in various hospitals ? Cuprija, Valjevo, as well as in the City Hospital in Belgrade. He was elected Professor of History of Medicine at Belgrade School of Medicine in 1936. In 1941 he was appointed Minister of Health in the pre-war Serbian Government. Sadly, upon liberation of Belgrade in 1944, this surgical pioneer was arrested and executed.
Pickwickian syndrome - "the tip of the iceberg" in extremely obese patients
Authors: Kascak Jelena , Andjelic Sladjana
Published: November 2019

Introduction. Pickwickian syndrome (PS), also known as hypoventilation syndrome in adults, consists of three factors: obesity [Body Mass Index (BMI) > 30 kg/m2], daytime hypercapnia and sleep-disordered breathing, after ruling out other disorders that may cause alveolar hypoventilation. Timely recognition of PS is of utmost importance because such patients have significant morbidity and mortality. However, recent data indicate that PS is under-recognized and under-treated. We report a case of early-identified PS prehospitally with a favorable outcome after hospital treatment. Case outline. A 67-year-old female patient was diagnosed prehospitally, and the diagnosis was later confirmed in hospital. Diagnostic criteria were as follows: BMI > 45,7 kg/m2 (height 170 cm, weight 132 kg), hypercapnia, hypoxemia and respiratory acidosis (pCO2 ? 41 mmHg, pO2 ? 56 mmHg, pH 7.45) in the absence of other causes of hypoventilation. During hospitalization, the following diagnostic procedures were performed: standard laboratory analyses, chest radiography, electrocardiography, abdomen and heart echocardiography. An attempted sleep study (polysomnography) was interrupted due to a drop in oxygen saturation levels. Non-invasive mechanical ventilation and a diet were used as the first line of therapy. However, due to the development of a global respiratory insufficiency, the patient was intubated and placed on a mechanical ventilator. After 30 days of hospital treatment, the patient was released in a satisfactory general condition with recommendations for weight reduction and symptomatic therapy. Conclusion. As obesity is becoming an epidemic of modern society, early recognition and treatment of PS is of crucial importance.
The neurological outcome in the patients with myasthenia gravis who underwent thymectomy via sternotomy and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS)
Authors: Martic Vesna , Maric Nebojsa , Cvijanovic Vlado
Published: November 2019

Background/Aim. Thymectomy is accepted in the surgical treatment of the patients with myasthenia gravis (MG). Earlier thymectomy via sternotomy has recently been replaced by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), which is less invasive. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness and reliability of the two methods of surgical removal of the thymus by comparing the neurological outcome in patients with MG. Methods. The study included 60 patients with MG who underwent thymectomy at the beginning of their treatment: 30 patients underwent thymectomy via sternotomy, and the remaining 30 patients via VATS. In order to evaluate the effects of these two operation techniques, we compared the data related directly to the operation ? the number of postoperative hospital days, the incidence of postoperative complications, as well as the data related to the neurological monitoring of these patients: directly after the operation, one year after the surgery and up to three years after the surgery. Results. The data related to the immediate postoperative period indicate a significantly shorter hospitalization after the VATS thymectomy (p < 0.001), but the percentage of postoperative complications in both groups was the same (p = 0.381). Clinical deterioration in the first year after the operation showed a uniform distribution, regardless of the type of performed operation (p = 0.470). The number of performed rethymectomies in the group that underwent thymectomy via sternotomy vs. VATS was of borderline statistical significance (p = 0.054). Complete stable remission, as a confirmation that the thymic tissue was removed in its entirety, was observed in about 11% of the patients who underwent thymectomy. For other patients, clinical remission was maintained with anticholinesterase and immunosuppressive therapy. Conclusion. The shorter hospitalization time and faster postoperative recovery, with an equal clinical efficacy and aesthetic component, favors the VATS thymectomy compared to thymectomy via sternotomy as more acceptable in the surgical treatment of the patients with MG.
Principals’ views on the implementation of grade-free middle schools in Norway: justifications, challenges and opportunities
Authors: Gillespie Astrid , Burner Tony
Published: November 2019

This article reports on four principals’ views on the implementation of so-called grade-free middle schools, i.e. schools that drop all grades on students’ performances except the two required by the national assessment regulation, as part of their work with Assessment for Learning (AfL). More specifically, we were interested in the under-researched area of how principals justify introducing and implementing grade-free schools, and what their experiences are regarding challenges and opportunities that have arisen during and as a result of the implementation. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were used to collect data. Findings suggest that principals rely on research and unsatisfying assessment practices when justifying a change to grade-free schools. However, they do not find the involvement of students, nor the information directed at parents about the implementation, to be sufficient. They also mention challenges related to the current assessment system, which they believe underpin a behavioristic understanding of learning. The article calls for more research on trust among various stakeholders and student involvement when implementing grade-free schools.

Norsk tittel: Rektorers syn på implementering av karakterfrie ungdomsskoler i Norge: begrunnelser, utfordringer og muligheter
I denne artikkelen analyseres fire rektorers forståelser og erfaringer med å implementere såkalte karakterfrie ungdomsskoler, hvor kun minimumskravet i vurderingsforskriften, to karakterer – termin- og standpunktkarakterer – gis på elevers prestasjoner. Dette gjør rektorene i forbindelse med Vurdering for Læring-satsning (VfL). Vi var interessert i dette uutforskede temaet og spurte rektorene om deres begrunnelser for å introdusere og implementere karakterfrie skoler, og om deres erfaringer når det gjelder utfordringer og muligheter som har oppstått i løpet av og som et resultat av implementeringen. Semistrukturerte dybdeintervjuer ble anvendt til å samle inn data. Funnene antyder at rektorene støtter seg på forskning og utilfredsstillende vurderingspraksiser når de legitimerer implementering av karakterfri skole. Imidlertid mener de at elevinvolvering og informasjon rettet mot foresatte om implementering ikke er tilstrekkelig ivaretatt. Rektorene nevner også utfordringer knyttet til dagens vurderingssystem som de mener bygger opp under et behavioristisk læringssyn. Studien impliserer mer forskning på tillit blant ulike aktører, og elevinvolvering i forbindelse med implementering av karakterfrie skoler.
Teachers’ regard for adolescent perspectives in feedback dialogues with students in lower-secondary schools
Authors: Vattøy Kim-Daniel , Gamlem Siv M.
Published: November 2019

The teacher is a key agent in facilitating for adolescent perspectives during lessons. Feedback dialogues have an inherent capacity to capitalise on or undervalue adolescent perspectives in instruction and learning. The present study focused on lower-secondary school teachers’ regard for adolescent perspectives in feedback dialogues with students in lessons on English as a foreign language (EFL, n = 65) and mathematics (n = 113). The data material consisted of video recordings coded with the regard for adolescent perspectives dimension in the Classroom Assessment Scoring System–Secondary Manual. Teacher–student interactions in both EFL and mathematics lessons generally showed scores in the low range for regard for adolescent perspectives. The mathematics lessons had consistently lower scores for quality. Four cases represented the maximum and minimum mean scores for the dimension, regard for adolescent perspectives, in the observed lessons. These cases provided examples of episodes when teachers either succeeded or failed to make room for adolescent perspectives in teacher–student interactions. The results indicate that attention to adolescent perspectives seems to be a neglected aspect of feedback dialogues in lower-secondary school.

Norsk tittel: Læreres hensyn til ungdomsperspektiver i tilbakemeldingsdialoger med elever i ungdomsskolen
Læreren er en nøkkelperson i å legge til rette for ungdomsperspektiver i undervisningen. Tilbakemeldingsdialoger har en iboende kapasitet til å styrke eller undervurdere ungdomsperspektiver i undervisning og læring. Denne studien fokuserte på ungdomsskolelæreres hensyn til ungdomsperspektiver i tilbakemeldingsdialoger med elever i engelsk- (n = 65) og matematikkundervisning (n = 113). Datamaterialet bestod av videoopptak kodet med «hensyn til ungdomsperspektiver»-dimensjonen i Classroom Assessment Scoring System– Secondary Manual. Lærer–elev interaksjoner i både engelsk og matematikk viste generelt skårer i det lavere området for hensyn til ungdomsperspektiver. Matematikktimene hadde konsekvent lavere kvalitetsskårer. Fire caser representerte maksimum- og minimumsgjennomsnittskårer for dimensjonen, hensyn til ungdomsperspektiver, i de observerte timene. Disse casene viste eksempler på episoder der lærere enten lyktes eller feilet med å gi rom til ungdomsperspektiver i lærer–elev interaksjoner. Resultatene indikerer at oppmerksomhet rundt ungdomsperspektiver ser ut til å være et forsømt aspekt av tilbakemeldingsdialoger i ungdomsskolen.
Expectations to mentoring as support for professional development
Authors: Helleve Ingrid , Ulvik Marit , Roness Dag
Published: November 2019

Mentoring is acknowledged as a means to support professional development for teachers. However, mentoring has multiple meanings and may be practiced as supervision, support or collaborative self-development for new as well as experienced teachers. The aim of this Norwegian study is to get an understanding of what expectations newly-qualified teachers, their mentors and their leaders have to mentoring and professional development and thereby to identify what kind of mentoring is needed. Data is collected through questionnaires and focus group conversations. The result shows a discrepancy between school leaders’ expectations on one hand and those of mentors’ and newly qualified teachers’ on the other. While school leaders call for supervision and for teachers’ opportunities to join external courses, mentors and newly-qualified teachers ask for mentoring rooted in classroom- activities. One implication of the study is to introduce an induction period for novice teachers where they are gradually included in the organization. Another implication is to use educated mentors as resources for school development, not only for newly-qualified, but also for experienced teachers. Implications for politicians are to provide resources and for school leaders to provide space and protected time for mentoring and professional learning at all levels to ensure sustained school development.

Norsk tittel: Forventninger til veiledning som støtte for profesjonell utvikling
Veiledning er anerkjent som et virkemiddel for å støtte profesjonell utvikling for lærere. Men begrepet veiledning åpner for mange tolkningsmuligheter og kan bli praktisert som supervisjon, individuell støtte eller kollektiv veiledning for nye så vel som erfarne lærere. Målet med denne norske studien ar å forstå hvilke forventninger nyutdannede og erfarne lærere samt skoleledere har til veiledning og profesjonell utvikling for derigjennom å identifisere hvilke behov de ser for veiledning. Data er innsamlet gjennom spørreskjemaer, og fokus-gruppesamtaler. Resultatene viser et skille mellom skoleledere på den ene siden og veiledere og nyutdannede lærere på den andre. Mens skolelederne fokuserer på supervisjon og på læreres muligheter til å delta på eksterne kurs, er veiledere og nyutdannede lærere opptatt av at aktiviteter som støtter profesjonell utvikling må være forankret i klasserommet. Implikasjoner av studien er å innføre en induksjonsperiode for nye lærere der de gradvis blir innlemmet i organisasjonen. En annen implikasjon er at utdannede veiledere må brukes som ressurser for skoleutvikling både med tanke på nye, men også erfarne læreres profesjonelle utvikling. Implikasjoner for politikere bør være å sørge for ressurser og for skoleledere å sørge for beskyttet tid til veiledning og profesjonell utvikling på alle nivåer for å sørge for vedvarende skoleutvikling.

Utilizou-se a pesquisa-ação, como sendo o método intervencionista o qual permite a todos os envolvidos: o observar, a fim de se reunirem informações e se construir um cenário; o pensar, para explorar, analisar e interpretar os fatos; e, afinal, o agir, implementando e avaliando as ações. Os resultados mostraram que a musicoterapia entre idosos institucionalizados pode contribuir para o fortalecimento da comunicação, propiciando a sua socialização junto a profissionais e funcionários, além de consequentes sinais de recuperação da auto-estima. Assim, esses idosos descobrem, apesar da idade avançada, que habilidades e conhecimentos ainda podem ser adquiridos, como os de compor ou interpretar música, assim como verem estimulado seu exercício de habilidades físicas e mentais.Palavras-chave: Musicoterapia; Idosos institucionalizados; Comunicação.

Published: November 2019

Este trabalho objetivou analisar como as ações voltadas para a saúde do idoso vêm sendo pensadas e executadas. A construção dos dados foi guiada por um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturado e a análise, pela problematização dos discursos. Verificou-se que as ações direcionadas para a saúde do idoso são gestadas e materializadas sob a égide da fragmentação entre o pensar e o fazer, não visualizando as velhices em sua heterogeneidade.

O objetivo foi analisar a incidência de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT) e a utilização de fármacos em idosos hipertensos e/ou diabéticos praticantes regulares de exercício físico. Como método, o estudo de campo, epidemiológico e transversal sobre DCNT e a utilização de fármacos em indivíduos com 60 anos ou mais de idade, praticantes regulares de exercício físico e diagnosticados com Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (HAS) e/ou Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Avaliaram-se 223 idosos, sendo 14,8% (n=33) do sexo masculino e 85,2% (n=190) do sexo feminino. A idade média foi de 69,8±6,9 anos. Em relação à frequência semanal dos exercícios, observou-se que 57,8% os praticavam de 1 a 2 vezes por semana; 33,6%, de 3 a 4 vezes; e 8,5%, de 5 a 7 vezes na semana. Quanto ao uso de fármacos, 142 tipos foram relatados, dentre estes, destacaram-se os anti-hipertensivos, hipolipemiantes, antidepressivos, psicotrópicos cerebrais, hipoglicemiantes e supressores de absorção óssea. Dentre as DNCT investigadas, destacaram-se o DM, a HAS, as dislipidemias e o hipotireoidismo. Na correlação entre o tempo de exercício físico e o número de fármacos pôde-se observar forte correlação estatística (r=0,0848), enquanto para as DCNT, esta correlação foi moderada (r=0,0593). Concluiu-se que, com o envelhecimento, observa-se um aumento da prevalência de DCNT, uma diminuição da prática de exercício físico, e um aumento no consumo de fármacos. Foi demonstrada uma maior adesão do sexo feminino na prática de exercício físico, mas quanto maior a idade, menor a adesão, e que os idosos praticantes de exercício físico por mais tempo consumiam menos fármacos e apresentavam menos DCNT.

Published: November 2019

A preocupação com a qualidade de vida na terceira idade é relevante. Perdas dentárias podem ter efeitos significativos na saúde e na vida dos indivíduos, pois afetam a capacidade mastigatória, restringem o consumo de diversos alimentos, dificultam a fonação, além de causar danos estéticos. O objetivo desta revisão da literatura é discutir as alterações na qualidade de vida do paciente idoso, incluindo os efeitos psicológicos, a percepção dos idosos sobre saúde bucal, e o reflexo emocional.Palavras-chave: Reabilitação bucal; Satisfação do paciente; Qualidade de vida.

Published: November 2019

Os entraves dispostos pelo racismo atravessam negativamente a população negra em diversos âmbitos e sentidos. São heranças históricas que se apresentam de forma clara ou velada até os dias atuais e, quando relacionados à velhice, os tópicos que compõem o racismo se amplificam e tomam novas facetas. Conceitos psicossociais são influenciados diretamente pela perpetuação do modelo hierárquico de raças, influindo diretamente nos elementos socioeconômicos, iniquidades em saúde, demandas familiares, violência, entre outras formas desfavoráveis de experiências da população negra, desde o nascimento até a velhice. Dessa forma, a prática psicológica pautada num fazer ético-político se faz necessária, enquanto oposição a tais práticas racistas ainda contemporâneas – marcando-se como propósito deste estudo ratificar essa recomendação; assim, tal prática psicológica mostra sua relevância enquanto práxis científico-metodológica na ruptura com um passado que ainda se faz presente.

Published: November 2019

A diminuição da sensibilidade cutânea plantar pode resultar na redução do controle postural em idosos, tornando-os mais suscetíveis a quedas. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a influência de um programa de estimulação cutânea plantar, sobre o limiar de sensibilidade e controle postural em indivíduos idosos. Este foi um estudo clínico prospectivo, randomizado e simples-cego, no qual participaram 36 indivíduos idosos acima de 60 anos de idade de ambos os sexos, submetidos ao teste Timed Up and Go (TUG), para mensurar a mobilidade funcional, teste de apoio unipodal para avaliar o equilíbrio estático, e avaliação da sensibilidade plantar por estesiometria com monofilamentos de nylon. Os idosos foram divididos em dois grupos. O grupo-controle não passou por nenhuma intervenção e foi orientado a não mudar o estilo de vida. Já o grupo-experimental foi orientado a realizar intervenções domiciliares por 3 semanas. Após esse período, todos os participantes foram reavaliados. Os resultados revelaram que ambos os grupos apresentaram maior sensibilidade cutânea plantar após 3 semanas; porém, não foram observadas alterações no controle postural. Ambos os grupos demonstraram melhora em relação à sensibilidade cutânea plantar, e não houve diferença entre eles.Palavras-chave: Idoso; Equilíbrio Postural; Envelhecimento.

Authors: Torqueti Aléxia Ximenes , Soares Edvaldo
Published: November 2019

O objetivo da pesquisa foi verificar a incidência de declínio cognitivo, depressão e fragilidade em amostra composta por idosos institucionalizados e idosos residentes na comunidade e, a partir disso, identificar correlações entre essas variáveis. Foram sujeitos da pesquisa 33 idosos residentes em duas ILPI’s e idosos da comunidade atendidos no Centro de Estudos da Educação e da Saúde, cidade de Marília, SP.  Para coleta de dados relativos ao declínio cognitivo, foram utilizados o MEEM e o CDR; o GDS-30 para identificar a incidência de depressão e o EFS, para a fragilidade. Para a análise de correlação entre as variáveis, foi utilizado o coeficiente de correlação de Pearson e o coeficiente de correlação de Spearmann por restrição teórica. Idosos institucionalizados se mostraram mais vulneráveis em relação a todas as variáveis analisadas. A depressão está positivamente correlacionada com a fragilidade e com a capacidade cognitiva. A fragilidade influencia de maneira positiva a capacidade cognitiva. Os resultados da análise indicaram correlação regular negativa entre o MEEM e o CDR. A identificação dos fatores de risco foram relacionados ao declínio cognitivo e às demências; à depressão e à fragilidade, bem como as relações entre tais fatores são fundamentais para o estabelecimento de estratégias preventivas e terapêuticas.
