Authors: Bergamo Serena , Gobbo Margherita , Chimenton Silvia , D'Angelo Giorgia , Guarda Nardini Luca , Gatti Alessandro
Published: August 2024

Vulvar lichen sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by the thinning and atrophy of the skin and mucosa surrounding the vulva and anus. This study evaluates the efficacy of a treatment protocol utilizing blue-diode laser photobiomodulation in managing vulval lichen sclerosus symptoms in a cohort of 12 female patients. The treatment protocol consisted of laser sessions for 3 times a week for 2 weeks, and follow-up sessions over a 16-week period. Objective and subjective parameters were assessed before treatment, at the end of treatment, and at 4-month follow-up visits. Results demonstrated significant reductions in subjective symptoms such as itching and pain, as well as improvements in objective signs including erythema and fissures. No side effects were observed, indicating the safety and tolerability of laser treatment. These findings suggest that photobiomodulation can be an effective therapeutic option for patients with vulval lichen sclerosus, with future research aimed at refining treatment protocols and evaluating its long-term benefits.

Authors: Angler Yannik , Lossin Astrid , Goetz Olav
Published: August 2024

Emergency Departments (ED) face the challenge of providing high-quality patient care under difficult conditions due to staff shortages or overcrowding. These challenges mean that more than ever, ED need to find ways to provide high-quality patient care despite limited resources and bottlenecks. Process analysis using Discrete Event Simulation (DES), taking into account performance-related assessment indicators, can help to improve patient care and resource utilization of staff and infrastructure. Based on process observations, interviews and time studies, a process model was developed in a general hospital ED to realistically simulate workflows. The results allow the assumption that digital technologies and an increase in staff capacity can reduce length of stay and waiting times for patients while improving staff distribution and infrastructure utilization. The study suggests that DES has great potential for use as a performance evaluation tool in the ED. In times of increasing digitalization, the potential of artificial intelligence in the context of process improvements, but also the challenges of this technology, must be given greater consideration.

Thermal coupled structural analysis of a brake disc
Authors: Deckmann Jardel Luis , do Nascimento Vagner
Published: August 2024

Designing a brake disc is a very challenging job. Besides to being a key item in vehicle safety, we are referring to a product that goes through several manufacturing processes and during its application it is exposed to extreme conditions of mechanical stress, temperature and vibration. The raw material for a large portion of commercial brake discs is normally gray cast iron with the possibility of adding alloy elements. This material is characterized by having high resistance to wear due to friction and having practically zero plasticity. As it is a material without a plastic working regime, it is very important to properly size the product for use, once the material’s resistance limit is reached, a catastrophic failure in operation may be inevitable. Quality control systems in casting and machining have great importance in the development of the disc, but physical tests are always essential in this type of product. Dynamometer tests are great options for validating brake discs, due to their ability to simulate practically all the severe conditions to which they will be exposed in real application. However, it is possible to predict possible disc failures even before subjecting them to the dynamometer, using numerical analyzes through the finite element method, a methodology that ensures that we are more assertive in the project, reducing time and money spent. In view of this challenging scenario, this work presents the results of a thermal analysis (CFD) of a brake disc, coupled with a structural analysis (FEA), with the objective of predicting a possible failure in the product and finally correlating the numerical results data with data from physical tests obtained on a dynamometer. At the end of this work, it was possible to determine the thermal distribution of the disc at the thermocouple installation point with an accuracy of 95% and find tensile stresses in the order of the yield stress of the disc material, thus predicting a probable breakage.

Published: August 2024

In recent decades, it can be noted an advance in new technologies applied to commercial vehicles. This advancement led to the development of new functions making products more efficient and safer, benefiting the society in general. Commercial vehicle manufacturers brought their products to levels higher than those required by current legal resolutions. Among the various resolutions applied to the braking system, in CONTRAN #915/22, which specifies minimum requirements of performance of vehicles brakes, the part 7 of NBR 10966 stands out. This standard determines requirements for compatibility between towing and towed units combined as a vehicle. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the thermal balance between the brakes of a motor vehicle combined with a semi-trailer. The tests were carried out by varying the pneumatic pressure that controls the service brake of towed units during braking. Some of the pressure levels were complying with compatibility requirements, others were not. Results showed better thermal balance between the brakes of towing and towed units when using control pressures complying with the legislation. Pressures outside the limits stated in the NBR 10966, resulted on thermal imbalance between the brakes. At times, temperature gradients between the brakes of the semi-trailers were detected, indicating that the response and the releasing time of the brakes increase as the distance between their brake chambers and the towing unit increases, agreeing with previous works. In addition, tests also showed that there are differences between the pressure provided by the towing unit and the towed unit braking pressures. It was concluded that to obtain adequate thermal balance, what guarantee safe driving, good braking performance, comfort and stable braking, the pneumatic pressure provided by the towing unit in the control glad hand must be within the limits established by the applicable resolutions.

Impact of Women's Sexual Health on Prostate Cancer Risk in Men
Authors: Salomon Mboudou Michel
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Prostate cancer is a significant health issue for men. This study investigates whether women’s sexual health and relationship satisfaction influence prostate cancer risk in their male partners.

Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study involving 1,000 heterosexual couples where the male partner was over 40 years old. Couples in stable relationships with no prior history of prostate cancer were included. Baseline data included demographic information, medical history, lifestyle factors, the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) to assess women’s sexual health and relationship satisfaction. Sexual activity frequency was also recorded. Participants were followed annually for 10 years to track prostate cancer incidence in men. We used Pearson correlation and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression for statistical analysis.

Results: We found a significant negative correlation between FSFI scores and prostate cancer incidence (r = -0.42, p < 0.05). Higher DAS scores and more frequent sexual activity were also associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer (r = -0.35 and r = -0.38, respectively, both p < 0.05). These results suggest that better sexual function and relationship satisfaction in women are linked to a lower risk of prostate cancer in their male partners.

Conclusion: Women’s positive sexual health and relationship satisfaction may reduce prostate cancer risk in men. These findings underscore the importance of considering partner dynamics in prostate cancer prevention strategies and encourage further research into underlying mechanisms.

Introduction: The study examines the readiness of Filipino adults to fulfill their filial duties within the cultural context of the Philippines, where filial piety is regarded as crucial for upholding the family's collective reputation and mitigating potential social stigma. Methods: The researchers utilized a quantitative research methodology with a descriptive and normative approach. They collected data via an online survey administered to 403 participants. The respondents' preparedness to fulfill filial obligations was assessed using a standardized scale measuring readiness for filial responsibility. Results: The results suggest that most Filipino adults are not fully prepared to meet their filial obligations towards their aging parents. While they exhibit moderate level of readiness to provide physical, emotional, spiritual, and psychological support, the data indicates they are ill-equipped to assume the financial responsibilities associated with caring for their aging parents. The study also found that the adult child's physical distance from the aging parent significantly affects their capacity to provide physical support, with those living away from their parents exhibiting greater readiness to offer financial assistance compared to those who are co-residing with their parents. Additionally, individuals with independent sources of income demonstrated higher levels of preparedness to fulfill the financial responsibilities associated with their filial obligations. Conclusion: The intricate and multifaceted nature of the obligations which adult children have towards their aging parents underscores the need for a customized and personalized approach in supporting the older persons, rather than a universal expectation.

Enquanto cidade localizada na Amazônia, Belém tem suas paisagens entremeadas pelas águas. Neste artigo, enveredo pelas discussões sobre experiências e imaginários tecidos nas beiras, seja em portos, rios ou canais desta metrópole fundada a partir destas áreas. A complexidade destas/nestas paisagens híbridas evoca imbricamentos cotidianos entre as águas, os ecossistemas que se desenvolvem ao seu redor e a interação de moradores e passantes. Deste modo, por meio de imagens etnográficas e narradas, apresento os contrastes entre alguns dos bairros da capital paraense no trato com estas águas, com o objetivo de evocar os debates em curso nestas diferentes dinâmicas urbanas. Assim, é possível observar como estes lugares têm sido produzidos, acomodando múltiplas existências junto às questões socioambientais que se intensificam e são percebidas e processadas de diversas formas na cidade, o que se torna perceptível quando observados os contextos de mobilização dos bairros e da gestão pública. Ao instigar reflexões a partir da referida temática, emergem questões sobre memórias do lugar e as relações que são criadas no e com o tempo. Desta maneira, elaboro reflexões acerca das construções processuais e convivialidades entre moradores destes bairros e as paisagens de águas: aquelas que acomodam rios em suas diversas formas.

Si estos desplazamientos no están bien desarrollados influyen en los procesos y en la calidad de la lectura. En este sentido, la presente investigación se orientó a determinar la relación entre los movimientos sacádicos y la fluidez lectora en alumnos de 5. º grado de Primaria.
Se eligió una metodología con un enfoque cuantitativo con un diseño no experimental y descriptivo. La muestra poblacional estuvo conformada por 30 alumnos del Segundo Ciclo de Primaria y se les aplicó la prueba K-D que mide los movimientos sacádicos y la Prueba T.A.L.E para evaluar la fluidez lectora. Los datos obtenidos se presentan en porcentajes de la frecuencia absoluta y relativa. Los resultados obtenidos en esta investigación demuestran que existe una relación positiva entre los movimientos sacádicos y la fluidez lectora. Sin embargo, se concluye partiendo de la prueba T.A.
