Published: October 2016

Justificativa e Objetivos: A avaliação do estado nutricional através da antropometria e bioimpedância elétrica (Bia) surge como uma ferramenta promissora de custo mais acessível. Este estudo verificou a correlação entre dois métodos de avaliação corporal (avaliação antropométrica e da composição corporal e área de gordura visceral por Bia) em trabalhadores da indústria. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, de caráter descritivo e correlacional, com 22 trabalhadores industriais, do município de Santa Cruz do Sul-RS. Para a avaliação da composição corporal foram aferidas variáveis antropométricas: Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC), Circunferência da Cintura (CC), Risco Cintura Quadril (RCQ), percentual de gordura corporal (%G), peso de gordura (PG); massa corporal magra (MCM); peso ósseo (PO). Para a composição corporal, utilizou-se a Bia, através do analisador de multi-frequência octopolar (In-Body 720; Biospace, Seoul, Coreia do Sul) para as variáveis: CM; massa de gordura (MG); massa musculoesquelética (MME); IMC; %G; RCQ e área de gordura visceral (AGV). Na análise estatística, utilizou-se o teste de correlação de Pearson para avaliar a correlação entre as variáveis. Resultados: Dos 22 trabalhadores, 72,7% eram do sexo feminino, com idade média de 37,73 anos. Apresentaram IMC médio de 26,14kg/m², o que classifica a amostra com sobrepeso. No estudo, as avaliações feitas pelas duas técnicas, apresentaram uma forte correlação entre as variáveis IMC e IMCBia, %G e %GBia, PG e MGBia, MCM e MMEBia, PO e CMBia, CC e AGVBia. Conclusão: Os dois métodos mostraram obter comportamento estatístico semelhante na avaliação corporal, sugerindo a possibilidade de utilização de quaisquer destas técnicas para avaliação da composição corporal.

Authors: Oliveira Penteado Júlia , Martins Volcão Lisiane , Fernandes Ramos Daniela , Manorle da Silva-Júnior Flávio , Muccillo-Baisch Ana Luiza
Published: October 2016

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVO: A Ilex paraguariensis St. Hilaire é conhecida popularmente como mate ou erva-mate, consumida popularmente no sul do Brasil, Paraguai e Argentina. Estudos têm evidenciado atividades bioativas da Ilex paraguariensis, como a atividade antioxidante, antinflamatória, diurética, digestiva, cicatricial e estimulante, conferindo um potencial terapêutico à mesma. Tais atividades bioativas da Ilex paraguariensis podem estar relacionadas com os compostos presentes na planta. Como exemplo a presença de polifenóis, flavonoides, xantinas, aminoácidos, vitaminas e minerais. Devido às informações contraditórias sobre os compostos das plantas que contribuem para a atividade antimicrobiana, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo determinar o potencial antimicrobiano dos extratos hexânico, metanólico e aquoso de Ilex paraguariensis, frente as bactérias gram-positivas e gram-negativas. METODOLOGIA: Para avaliação da atividade antimicrobiana foi realizada a técnica de microdiluição em caldo, frente às cepas Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 12598), Klebsiella pneumoniae (ATCC 700603), Acinetobacter baumannii (ATCC 19606) e Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 15442). RESULTADOS: A atividade antimicrobiana de Ilex paraguariensis foi demonstrada pelo extrato hexânico e aquoso nos quais apresentaram atividade antimicrobiana frente a todos os microrganismos estudados. Sendo que, a melhor inibição para o extrato aquoso CMI = 25 µg/mL foi frente ao Staphylococcus aureus, enquanto para o extrato hexanico a CMI 100 µg/mL para a Acinetobacter baumannii. CONCLUSÃO: Portanto, a Ilex paraguariensis é uma fonte de pesquisa para novos agentes antimicrobianos naturais. Estes extratos são possíveis candidatos cuja atividade antimicrobiana poderá contribuir para o tratamento de doenças infecciosas causadas tanto por bactérias gram-positivas quanto negativas.

Authors: Babu Binu , Reynolds Anjana Mary , N. Gopinathan Pillai
Published: October 2016

Background: Deviated nasal septum (DNS) is a common condition which affects most children and adults. Several surgical procedures are available for DNS. Endoscopic septoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical technique which can minimise trauma to the nasal septum and decrease post-operative morbidity. The present study was aimed to study the efficacy of septoplasty with endoscopic osteomeatal clearance, on headache due to sinusitis secondary to DNS.

Methods: The study was longitudinal in nature and involved patients undergoing septoplasty with endoscopic osteomeatal clearance at Government Medical College Hospital, Kottayam, Kerala, India. Patients with significant nasal obstruction due to DNS, and having recurrent sinusitis causing headache, were included into the study. Patients were discharged after 3 days and were called up for review at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year and evaluated for change in headache as assessed by visual analogue score (VAS). 

Results: A total of 50 participants were enrolled into the study over a period of 2 years. Maxillary sinus was involved in almost 96% of the cases while frontal sinus was affected in 46% and ethmoid sinus in 50% of participants. Seventy four percent participants had subjective symptomatic improvement at 2 weeks after surgery. The mean (SD) VAS score pre-operatively was 6.54 (1.5) and it improved to 4.18 (1.8) at 2 weeks following surgery (p <0.05).

Conclusions: Septoplasty with endoscopic osteomeatal clearance is a procedure which is highly efficacious and well tolerated in treating headache due to sinusitis secondary to DNS.

Authors: Ganiele María de las Nieves , Terrasa Sergio Adrián , Kopitowski Karin Silvana
Published: October 2016

El rastreo de osteoporosis en mujeres con bajo riesgo de fractura (sobreuso) puede conducir a sobrediagnóstico, tratamiento inapropiado y medicalización. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar la proporción de mujeres de 45 a 64 años afiliadas a un plan de medicina prepaga de Buenos Aires, Argentina, que realizaron al menos una densitometría ósea de cadera durante 2011 y no cumplían criterios para el rastreo. Se realizó un estudio observacional de corte transversal. Se identificaron 4.310 mujeres de este rango etario que se realizaron una densitometría ósea, entre las que se seleccionó una muestra aleatorizada de 401 mujeres y se obtuvieron datos completos para 178 mujeres. Para determinar si el rastreo era apropiado se utilizaron dos criterios: 1) tener un riesgo de fractura a 10 años mayor que una mujer de 65 años (regla FRAX®); 2) presentar al menos un factor de riesgo de fractura. Un 86,5% de las densitometrías óseas fueron realizadas en mujeres cuyo riesgo estimado por FRAX® no superaba el umbral mínimo recomendado, constatándose osteoporosis en el 5,8% y osteopenia en el 61,0%. En relación con el segundo criterio, el 49,4% no presentaba siquiera un factor de riesgo, documentándose osteoporosis en el 3,4%, y osteopenia en el 62,5%. Los resultados muestran que al menos la mitad de las mujeres no cumplía con los criterios de rastreo.

Contradictions of Formation of the Global Economic Governance System
Authors: Eletsky Nikolay
Published: October 2016

The reasons and the factors of the global economic governance formation became the urgent issues of modern economic theory and practice. Emerging mechanisms of global governance reflect the transitional nature of the present stage of civilization. Under modern conditions, global ownership only begins to form, which inevitably involves the use of the socio-economic shell of previous historical types of economic relations. This particularly reflected in the utilization of the worldwide ownership in private-sector interests and in the application of the mechanisms of global governance to achieve the goals of individual states, corporations, financial-oligarchic clans and other private entities. A contradiction of genesis and evolution of the global ownership and control mechanisms of the world economic system become the essential problem of the international political economy.
Workflow of the Management in Printing Production in Condition of Print on-Demand
Authors: Sip Roman
Published: October 2016

Print-on-demand technology allows printing single book up to 200 copies. Correct use of digital printing and binding equipment effectively addresses the economics of this process as well. A process of storing the books is ignored as the number of printed copies is directly related to the number of orders. Publishing house owning the printed version of PDF publication chooses the file from the database and sends it to the printing company with the on-demand printer. This process is highly efficient for printing companies and also for bookstores as well. Bookstores should be no exception in being Print-on-demand printer owners.

1.2% Rosuvastatin and 1.2% Atorvastatin Gel Local Drug Delivery and Redelivery in the Treatment of Class II Furcation Defects: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Authors: Garg Shruti , Pradeep A.R.
Published: October 2016

Background: Statins are one of the lipid‐lowering drugs that help in reducing cholesterol levels in the body by specifically inhibiting 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, which is a rate‐limiting enzyme for cholesterol synthesis. Rosuvastatin (RSV) and atorvastatin (ATV) have shown bone stimulatory and anti‐inflammatory effects. The present study aims to explore efficacy of 1.2% RSV and 1.2% ATV gels as a local drug delivery and redelivery system adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) for treatment of Class II furcation defects.

Methods: Ninety patients with mandibular buccal Class II furcation defects were randomly allocated to three treatment groups: 1) SRP with placebo gel (group 1); 2) SRP with 1.2% RSV gel (group 2); and 3) SRP with 1.2% ATV gel (group 3). Clinical and radiographic parameters were recorded at baseline and after 6 months. Gels were redelivered at the respective sites at a 6‐month recall appointment. All clinical and radiographic parameters were recorded again after 3 months (i.e., 9 months from baseline).

Results: Greater mean probing depth (PD) reduction and greater mean gain in relative vertical clinical attachment level (CAL) and relative horizontal CAL were seen in the RSV group than in the ATV group at 6 and 9 months. Significantly greater mean percentage of defect depth reduction (DDR) was found in the RSV group (30.80% ± 8.35%, 41.86% ± 6.76%) than in the ATV group (25.54% ± 8.89%, 34.31% ± 8.04%) at 6 and 9 months, respectively.

Conclusion: The RSV group shows significant improvement in all clinical parameters and significantly greater DDR compared with the ATV group in treatment of mandibular Class II furcation defects as an adjunct to SRP.

Authors: Lea Baratz , Kass Efrat
Published: October 2016

This study seeks to present through a case study a new phenomenon that is still limited in scope, but is taking shape within the Israeli education system. It is that of Muslim Arab women who choose to teach in Israeli Jewish schools. The article presents the case study of such a teacher. The purpose of the article is to analyze the subject’s perceptions, beliefs and feelings in the context of her place within the Israeli education system and the understanding of the mechanisms she employs to reinforce her sense of self-efficacy in coping with the identity conflict deriving from being an Arab teacher in a Jewish high school. The study is interpretative in nature and examines how the Muslim Arab teacher perceives her integration while relating to the experiences with various bodies (administration, colleagues, students and parents). The study is based on an open in-depth interview with the teacher. Findings indicated how tools relating to her personal sense of self-efficacy help her bridge the gap between her professional and personal identities.

Authors: Casajuana Cristina , López-Pelayo Hugo , Mercedes Balcells María , Miquel Laia , Teixidó Lídia , Colom Joan , Gual Antoni
Published: October 2016

Introduction. Assessing cannabis consumption remains complex due to no reliable registration systems. We tested the likelihood of establishing a Standard Joint Unit (SJU) which considers the main cannabinoids with implication on health through a naturalistic approach. 
Methodology. Pilot study with current cannabis users of four areas of Barcelona: universities, nightclubs, out-patient mental health service, and cannabis associations. We designed and administered a questionnaire on cannabis use-patterns and determined the willingness to donate a joint for analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data.
Results. Forty volunteers answered the questionnaire (response rate 95%); most of them were men (72.5%) and young adults (median age 24.5 years; IQR 8.75 years) who consume daily or nearly daily (70%). Most participants consume marihuana (85%) and roll their joints with a median of 0.25 gr of marihuana. Two out of three (67.5%) stated they were willing to donate a joint.
Conclusion. Obtaining an SJU with the planned methodology has proved to be feasible. Pre-testing resulted in an improvement of the questionnaire and retribution to incentivize donations. Establishing an SJU is essential to improve our knowledge on cannabis-related outcomes.

Authors: Romero Estrella , Rodríguez Concepción , Villar Paula , Gómez-Fraguela X. Antón
Published: October 2016

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo evaluar los efectos a largo plazo de un programa manualizado que interviene sobre niños con problemas de conducta, sus familias y sus profesores. El programa involucró, durante el curso 2007-08, a 14 escuelas que fueron asignadas aleatoriamente a las condiciones de intervención (45 familias participantes) y control (30 familias). A partir de un screening que identificó niños con problemas significativos de conducta en la familia y en la escuela, el programa fue aplicado en ocho de esos centros. Siete años más tarde, se pudo contactar de nuevo con 58 familias (37 de intervención y 21 control), con características equivalentes al total de participantes en el estudio inicial. Por medio de informes obtenidos de los participantes y de sus padres, y a través de comparaciones con análisis multivariables de la varianza, se apoya la eficacia del programa en la reducción de los problemas de conducta y de la implicación con amigos antisociales. Asimismo, se encuentra que el programa promueve la competencia social y comunicativa de los participantes. En cuanto al consumo de drogas, el grupo de intervención muestra actitudes menos favorables hacia las drogas, menor intención de consumo, menor frecuencia de consumo de tabaco y menor intensidad de consumo de alcohol. Estos resultados apoyan la utilidad de los programas multicomponente de intervención sobre los problemas de conducta como una vía para prevenir, a largo plazo, trayectorias de desarrollo desfavorables, en las que el consumo de drogas es una pieza fundamental.
Reduction of mortality following better detection of hypertension and alcohol problems in primary health care in Spain
Authors: Rehm Jürgen , Gmel Gerrit , Sierra Cristina , Gual Antoni
Published: October 2016

Through a simulation study, we estimated the potential effects of better detection of hypertension and improved screening for alcohol problems with subsequent interventions. Results showed that if 50% of Spanish males between 40 and 64 years of age who are currently unaware of their hypertension become aware of their condition and receive the usual treatment, and 50% of these males with hypertension are screened for alcohol and are treated for hazardous drinking or alcohol use disorders, then the percentage of uncontrolled hypertension among men with hypertension decreases from 61.2% to 55.9%, i.e. by 8.6%, with about 1/3 of the effect due to the alcohol intervention. For women, likewise, these interventions would decrease the percentage of women in the same age group with uncontrolled hypertension by 7.4% (about 40% due to the alcohol intervention). The reduction of blood pressure in the population would avoid 412 premature CVD deaths (346 in men, 66 in women) within one year. Therefore, better detection of hypertension and screening for alcohol with subsequent interventions would result in marked reductions of uncontrolled hypertension and CVD mortality.

Published: October 2016

La violencia de género (VG) es un problema de salud pública a escala mundial. Existen determinados factores asociados a un aumento de la prevalencia, como el consumo de sustancias. Se realizó un estudio transversal con el objetivo de determinar la prevalencia de VG en las mujeres que ingresaron en el Hospital del Mar (Barcelona) por cualquier motivo médico/quirúrgico y con el diagnóstico de trastorno por consumo de sustancias. Secundariamente, se pretendió validar la versión en español del cuestionario Hurt, Insulted, Threatened with Harm, Screamed (HITS). Se evaluaron a todas las pacientes mediante dos cuestionarios de detección de VG, el Composite Abuse Scale (CAS) y el HITS. De las 52 pacientes entrevistadas durante el período de estudio, 46 respondieron ambos cuestionarios. Según el cuestionario CAS, 23 pacientes (50%) presentaron VG alguna vez en la vida y 11 (23,9%) en el último año. El consumo de cannabis se asoció a una mayor gravedad de la VG (IC95% 3,5-28,9, p = .013). La prevalencia de VG, según el HITS, fue de 39,1% (18 pacientes) en los últimos 12 meses. El HITS mostró en relación al CAS una especificidad del 100% y una sensibilidad del 78%. Un punto de corte x∈ [6,7], obtenido mediante el análisis ROC, fue el que mejor discriminó al 91% de las víctimas y al 100% de las no-víctimas. Los resultados obtenidos demostraron una elevada prevalencia de VG entre las mujeres consumidoras de más de una sustancia de abuso. Por ese motivo, se recomienda incorporar el cribado sistemático mediante el cuestionario HITS.

Published: October 2016

El deterioro cognitivo es común en los pacientes alcohólicos. Éste se manifiesta por alteraciones en la memoria anterógrada y retrógrada, el procesamiento visual-espacial, y en las habilidades cognitivas y la atención, siendo algunas reversibles. Las terapias de rehabilitación cognitiva podrían mejorar el rendimiento de los pacientes, siendo una alternativa terapéutica de interés. El objetivo de este estudio piloto fue evaluar la implementación, viabilidad y efectividad de la terapia de rehabilitación cognitiva en pacientes con dependencia al alcohol y deterioro cognitivo asociado. Se trata de un estudio piloto con 16 pacientes (63% hombres, edad media de 59 años) seguidos en la Unidad de Conductas Adictivas de un hospital de tercer nivel. Siendo la abstinencia un requisito para la inclusión, durante 6 meses una enfermera realizó sesiones semanales de una hora (24 sesiones), realizándose ejercicios de psico-estimulación para la mejora del rendimiento cognitivo, funcional y social. Se evaluó a los pacientes al inicio, al final y pasados 6 meses, mediante las escalas MMSE (test Mini-mental de Lobo) y T@M (test de Alteración de Memoria). Sus puntuaciones medias respectivas fueron 26.4 (DE 3,16), 29 (DE 1,67) y 27 (DE 3,1) para MMSE y 38,7 (DE 6,81), 45,7 (DE 5,6) y 41,1 (DE 7,86) para T@M. Los datos se analizaron mediante la prueba de Friedman y se comparon los distintos periodos temporales mediante la prueba de rangos con signo de Wilcoxon, siendo la mayoría de comparaciones significativas (p < 0,05). La asistencia y la satisfacción fueron elevadas. Así pues, la terapia fue viable, ampliamente aceptada y mostró ser efectiva.
Costes intangibles de la dependencia alcohólica desde la perspectiva de los pacientes y sus familiares: un estudio de valoración contingente
Authors: Mosquera Nogueira Jacinto , Rodríguez-Míguez Eva
Published: October 2016

La dependencia alcohólica produce múltiples problemas no sólo a la persona que la padece sino también a su entorno. En este estudio se utiliza la valoración contingente para valorar los efectos intangibles de la dependencia alcohólica, desde la perspectiva de las personas directamente implicadas: pacientes y familiares. Se ha entrevistado a 145 pacientes y 61 familiares. Los efectos intangibles de la dependencia alcohólica se obtienen a partir de la disponibilidad a pagar por un hipotético tratamiento para la dependencia, ante dos escenarios de éxito (50% y 100%). La disponibilidad a pagar media mensual de la población alcohólica es de 129€ y 168€, respectivamente, por los tratamientos con un 50% y un 100% de éxito. La disponibilidad de los familiares es mayor en ambos escenarios (307€ y 420€, respectivamente), lo cual podría ser explicado por su mayor percepción de los problemas familiares, laborales y de salud generados por la dependencia alcohólica. El análisis de regresión realizado muestra que la eficacia del tratamiento, la renta personal y tener un deterioro moderado de la salud influyen positivamente en la disponibilidad a pagar de los pacientes, e influye negativamente estar desanimado y deprimido. Los resultados de este estudio pueden ser aplicados a estudios de evaluación económica cuyo objetivo es medir los beneficios de programas destinados a reducir la prevalencia de la dependencia alcohólica. Los costes intangibles estimados pueden ser añadidos a los costes directos e indirectos habitualmente utilizados.
Socio Economic Factors of Contract Farming: A Logistic Analysis
Authors: Pandey A. P.
Published: October 2016

According to studies from Lajili et al. (1997), Rehber (2000), Sartwelle et al. (2000) and Key (2003), a farmer’s discrete choice to join contract farming scheme or not it is influenced by the household’s characteristics, operational features, socio-economic characteristics, market attributes of product and underlying agreement condition. Zhu found in a study of contract arrangement in China, that farmers’ decisions to enter into contract with their sponsors were influenced by Economic influence, distance from the target market, specialization and commercialization of the production. In a study of contract farming in transitional economies of Eastern Europe,  Swinnen (2005), found that the most important factors which is more  influenced farmers to enter into contracts or not, in order of importance were; guaranteed product sales, avoidance of price uncertainty, higher price offers, profitability, pre-payment offer input supply and technical assistance and some form of credit.

 

In a detailed study of contract farming in poultry, chilly, Potato, banana, Wheat, Rice, maize, fruits and vegetables in Bali ,south Africa, India, America and Lombok province of Indonesia, it was revealed that factors that the important considerations and motivating factors for farmers were the increasing the productivity of crops, and getting better Income & Price and less uncertainty; past experience in working with Contracting firm and agribusiness; education levels credit constraints and strong borrowing histories. The contracts were more appealing to less well-capitalization smallholders who were well educated, were credit constrained but who had strong borrowing histories (Patrick, 2004)[1].

 

The main objective of this paper is to analyze the main socio-economic factors that motivate smallholder farmers to engage in contract farming mechanism or not.
