Authors: Středová Markéta , Stepanov Alexandr , Studnička Jan , Nekolová Jana , Jirásková Naďa
Published: September 2020

Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of ranibizumab treatment for macular edema (ME) secondary to branch retina vein occlusion (BRVO) after 24 months. Materials and Methods: This study included 39 eyes of 39 patients with ME associated with BRVO treated at the Ophthalmology Department of Faculty Hospital in Hradec Kralove. The average age of included patiens was 69,3 years, the mean duration of symptoms before treament was 5,4 months, the mean baseline visual acuity (VA) was 54,6 ETDRS (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study) letters, the mean baseline central retinal thickness (CRT) was 544,9 μm. At 64,1% patients a retinal laserphotocoagulation was performed before intravitreal ranibizumab. After one year, the study was discontinued by 17 patiens, the remaining 22 patients were observed for 24 months. Initially, there were 3 doses of intravitreal ranibizumab administered in monthly intervals, further injections were applied according to PRN (pro re nata) regiment. Patients were examined at baseline and then at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 months from initiation of the treatment. In this study, the effect of ranibizumab on functional and morphological parameters of the affected eye was monitored, the safety of this treatment was also evaluated. During the follow-up, a statistically significant improvement in VA was achieved in every visit in comparison to baseline parameters, the mean VA gain at the 3 month visit was 12,1 ETDRS letters (p < 0,001), at 6 months 12,5 letters (p < 0,001), at 9 months 10,5 letters (p < 0,001), at 12 months 12,5 (p < 0,001), at 24 months 8,6 letters (p < 0,05). There was a statistically significant decrease in CRT as well in the 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 months visits, namely 249,0 μm (p < 0,001), 185,2 μm (p < 0,001), 187,0 μm (p < 0,001), 214,8 μm (p < 0,001) and 205,2 μm (p < 0,001). The average number of doses administered to a patient was 4,9 within 12 months and 7,1 within 24 months. The treatment had greater effect in younger patients with shorter duration of symptoms and baseline VA of less than 55 ETDRS letters (6/24 or worse. Nor serious, neighter long-term adverse events occured, only occasional intraocular pressure elevation after intravitreal application was found. Conclusion: Our results from common clinical practice are consistent with the results of large clinial trials, we confirmed particularly good treatment efficacy in younger patients with shorter duration of macular edema and poorer baseline visual acuity. The safety of ranibizumab treatment was confirmed.

Purpose: To report a case of patient with Miller Fisher syndrome, complicated by simultaneous bilateral acute angle-closure glaucoma in her slightly (+1.5) hyperopic eyes. Methods: We present a case report of a 71-year-old female patient presenting with total ophthalmoplegia, areflexia, ataxia and bilateral acute angle-closure glaucoma. Results: The initial ocular examination revealed hand motion in the both eyes and oedematic corneas. Initial intraocular pressure was immeasurable high (measurment by Tonopen Avia). Measurement was possible after intravenous Mannitol 20 % infusion on both eyes as 54 and 56 mm Hg, respectively. Local medical therapy of pilocarpine, timolol, dorsolamide and dexamethasone improve intraocular pressure into normal limits within several hours. Prophylactic peripheral Nd-YAG laser iridotomy was performed on a both eyes two days later. Systemic treatment involved plasma exchange and rehabilitation program. Subsequent cataract surgery on both eyes with posterior capsule lens implantation improve the best corrected visual acuity on right eye from 0.5 to 1.0 and the left eye from 0.5 to 0.8, respectively. Intraocular pressure is within normal limits without any glaucoma therapy. Follow up period is three years. Conclusions: This is the second reported case of patient with Miller Fisher syndrome and simultaneous bilateral acute angle-closure glaucoma and the fifth reported case of Miller Fisher syndrome and acute angle-closure glaucoma. Treatment for both conditions made a very good recovery.
Lichen Planus as a Possible Rare Cause of an Ocular Disease
Authors: Nekolová Jana , Středová Markéta , Podhola Miroslav , Jirásková Naďa
Published: September 2020

Lichen planus is a relatively common mucocutaneous papulosquamous disorder of unknown etiology that is thought to be immunologically mediated. Ocular involvement of lichen planus (LP) is a rare event, which can lead to irreversible damage to the ocular surface and loss of vision from cicatrizing blepharoconjunctivitis and corneal scarring. Steroids are the first treatment choice. Treatment with topical ciclosporin A is also a possible treatment.

We report a case of 79-year-old woman who was treated for long lasting severe inflammatory disease of a ocular surface. It led to blindness of one eye and low vision of the second eye. The diagnosis was made thanks to correlation of biopsy results from oral and ocular surface. The patient was also diagnosed with middle-stage dementia. Negative impact of steroid therapy on mental condition of this patient was considered. On the other hand, dementia could cause worse compliance with recommended treatment regime.

Chronic inflammatory disease of ocular surface requires long lasting treatment very often and it is sometimes not as effective as expected. Discovering etiological causes of the disease is a priority for the right treatment. We emphasize also the key role of physical and mental condition in management of ocular surface disease.
Optic Disc Drusen and Heamodynamics
Authors: Čmelo Jozef , Valášková Jela , Krásnik Vladimír
Published: September 2020

Purpose: The problem of optic disc drusen (ODD) has been described in detail in several publications. However, less attention has been devoted to real haemodynamic parameters (HP) in ODD. It has been clinically demonstrated that the occurrence and progression of changes in the visual field in ODD are closely linked with the haemodynamics of the vascular supply of the eye – the optic nerve. ODD may visually overlap excavation of the disc of the optic nerve, on the basis of which it is more difficult to evaluate changes (scotomas) in the visual field in the case of glaucoma.

Methods: Haemodynamic parameters were prospectively evaluated in 54 patients with compensated intraocular pressure and with optic disc drusens. Drusens in the head of the optic nerve were demonstrated by a fundus examination and B-scan ultrasonography (USG). The drusens were divided into 3 groups according to the size of the individual drusens or drusen complex. Group I: area size up to 1.9 mm. Group II: area size: 1.9-3.9 mm. Group III: area size > 4.0 mm. Flow (haemodynamic) parameters – maximum systolic velocity (MSV), minimum diastolic velocity (MDV), and resistivity index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) were recorded in the central retinal artery (CRA), in the central retinal vein (CRV), in the temporal and nasal ciliares posteriores arteries breves (CPAb) and in the ophthalmic artery (OA). The values were divided into 1. Physiological: CRA: 8.7 ± 0.9 / 2.9 ± 0.6 cm/s, or RI: 0.70 ± 0.05, 2. Slightly impaired: CRA: 6.6 ± 0.8 / 2.0 ± 0.5 cm/s, or RI: 0.75 ± 0.04. 3. Significantly impaired: CRA: 5.2 ± 1.2 / 1.9 ± 0.7 cm/s, or RI: 0.79 ± 0.03.

Results: No linear relationship was demonstrated between the size of the drusens and flow parameters. Slight impairment of HP in the CRA was present in 28.6% of drusens in group I, 48.3% in group II and 62.4% in group III. Significant impairment of HP in the CRA was present in 28.6% of drusens in group I, 48.3% in group II and 62.4% in group III. HP in the CPAb and OA were not of significant importance with regard to the presence and size of the drusens. The relationship between the individual variables was evaluated with the aid of a Pearson correlation coefficient: 0.213, group I P: 0.354, group II P: 0.073, group III P: 0.287.

Conclusions: HP are more often impaired in “large” optic disc drusens (group III), rarely in group I ODDs – though this is not an absolute rule. It is not possible to predict haemodynamic parameters according to the size of the drusen formation in the optic nerve. It appears that impairment of the haemodynamic parameters is conditioned not only by the size of the ODD, but also by the locality (distance from lamina cribriformis) and also the intrapapillary relationship to the vascular system.

Authors: Mladkova Nikol , Palmer Joshua
Published: September 2020

The COVID-19 global pandemic represents a unique challenge affecting all aspects of current life including the delivery of healthcare around the globe. Radiation treatment is an integral part in the management of many pediatric malignancies, and the aim is to provide our institutional experience and trainee perspective on the delivery of radiation treatment during this era to facilitate further discussion regarding the practical impact of the pandemic on the treatment of childhood cancers and trainee education. Overall, the effect of the virus on the population of children with malignancies and its possible impact on their overall outcome is uncertain. The impact on trainee education is inevitable but can be mitigated in the context of adequate personal safety measures and online education. The authors strongly advocate for data sharing among facilities to determine the optimal safety measures that decrease the likelihood of COVID-19 transmission yet do not compromise the delivery of radiation treatment to children.

The topicality of research`s subject. The study of the component composition of body weight in representatives of various somatotypes will supplement the data on the morphological characteristics of women of the first period of mature age. A correlation analysis between the components of the somatotype and the component composition of body weight will allow us to determine how these indicators can be equivalent markers for predicting physical and functional fitness. The purpose of the study. To establish the component composition of body weight in women 25-35 years old of different somatotypes and to study the relationship between the somatotype and the component composition  of body weight. Research methods: anthropometry, bioelectric impedance method, methods of mathematical statistics. Results: The level of subcutaneous and visceral fat is the highest in women with an endomorphic somatotype, and the lowest in women with an ectomorphic and balanced somatotype. The lowest content of the muscle component in women is of an endomorphic somatotype. A very high degree of correlation was established between the percentage of subcutaneous fat and endomorphy. Subcutaneous fat and endomorphism are predictors of low levels of VO2 max and some physical qualities. A high degree of correlation between the percentage of visceral fat and endomorphy was revealed. There is no correlation between the percentage of the muscle component and mesomorphy. Сonclusions: The features of the component composition of body weight in women of the first period of mature age of various somatotypes are established. A very high degree of correlation was found between the percentage of subcutaneous fat and ectomorphy. There is no correlation between the percentage of the muscle component and mesomorphy.

Introduction.Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains one of the major health problems nowadays. The aim of the research was to increase the treatment efficiency for COPD group B patients by using antibiotics, mucolytics, topical nebulizer therapy and halotherapy sessions in combination therapy. The study enrolled 70 COPD group B patients, the average age of patients was 59.6±2.2 years. The diagnosis was made in accordance with the Order of the Ministry of Public Health of Ukraine as of June 27, 2013 № 555.Patients were divided into two groups. Patients of the first group (control, n=35) received basic therapy - azitrox 500 mg once day, acetylcysteine 200 mg - 2 times daily and combination bronchodilator therapy in the form of dose inhalercontaining fenoterol hydrobromide 50 mcg and ipratropium bromide 20 mcg (berodual H) - 2 times a day, anti-inflammatory therapy in the form of turbuhaler budesonide (pulmicort) 100 mcg twice a day for 7 days. Patients of the second group (main group, n=35) in addition to the basic therapy were prescribed double nebulizer therapy with the compressor nebulizer NEB-10 "Microlife" 2 times a day containing combined broncholytic agent fenoterol hydrobromide with ipratropium bromide (2 Freimid) diluted in 2 ml of saline; solution of budesonide (Pulmicort) nebulized 2 x 0.5 ml mg / mL=1.0 mg, dissolved in 2 ml of saline - 2 times a day №7; and additionally, starting on day 4, halotherapy sessions. Thus, the proposed combined therapy of COPD group B patients is more advanced and rational, it improves the effectiveness of basic medical therapy by optimizing the recovery and rehabilitation process, which has a positive effect on the improvement of the seven components of QOL, it is well tolerated and does not cause side effects.
GENERAL HISTOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF LYMPHOID NODULES OF PEYER’S PATCHES OF THE SMALL INTESTINE IN ALBINO RATS AFTER ADMINISTRATION OF A BROAD-SPECTRUM ANTIBIOTIC
Authors: Hryn V. H. , Kostylenko Y. P. , Hryn K. V.
Published: September 2020

Administration of an antibiotic by any route can cause dysbacteriosis, but its risk is the highest when taken orally, since the drug gets directly into the intestine, affecting microflora. After administration of a broad-spectrum antibiotic, Peyer’s patches of the small intestine of albino rats remained unchanged both topographically and in their total amount. But at the same time, their total area is more than doubled, which, according to our data, becomes possible due to the appearance of a new generation of lymphoid nodules in them. The aim of the research was to study the histological characteristics of lymphoid nodules of Peyer’s patches of the small intestine in albino rats after administration of clarithromycin. 30 mature albino male rats weighing 200.0±20.0 g were involved in the experiment. The antibiotic was administered to the rodents as a supplement to food during their two-meals-a-day feeding. Areas of the small intestine with Peyer’s patches have been studied. Serial paraffin sections have been analyzed using the “Konus” light microscope. Morphometric characteristics of the tissue structures were obtained using the Sigeta X 1 mm / 100 Div.x0.01mm stage micrometer. It has been established that after the course of administration of a broad-spectrum antibiotic (clarithromycin) in the small intestine of albino rats, the topography and total number of Peyer’s patches remain unchanged, while their total area increased by more than twice. This hyperplasia of structured lymphoid tissue in the mucous membrane of the small intestine of animals under the influence of the antibacterial drug occurs due to the appearance of new generations of lymphoid nodules in the Peyer’s patches, among which small, medium and large forms are distinguished, similar to the stages of their development. Each of them is distinguished by its morphological features, primarily, the conversion of the lymphoid-associated epithelium. Therefore, the genetically programmed total number of Peyer’s patches in the small intestine of mature albino rats is constant, whereas the number of lymphoid nodules in them is a variable that depends on the state of the intestinal microbiocenosis.

Hubris and Its Impact on Captain Ahab of Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick

Published: September 2020

كانت النظرة السائدة للشخصيات التي تتسم بالكبرياء في الأساطير الإغريقية وفي أحقاب تلت نظرة مليئة بالتهميش والازدراء. فأي ظهور لشخصية تتسم بالكبرياء يغيظ آلهة العقاب، ولذا سيعمل المجتمع جاهداً على معاقبة ذلك الشخص لأنه على حد زعمهم يمثل تحدياً للآلهة لأن في ذلك وقاحة شديدة، وتلك الشخصية المتسمة بالكبرياء ستلقى حتفها الجسدي والروحي.

ولكن في الحقيقة إن تصنيف الشخصية المتسمة بالكبرياء بأنها غير ناجحة  أمر غير عادل  وذلك بحد ذاته فكرة مغلوطة، فنظرتهم إلى تلك الشخصيات بهذه الطريقة تقيد المشاعر والقدرات والسمات الإنسانية، ومنها الكبرياء الذي منها  تنطلق مقاومةً قوى الطبيعة التي تحتاج إلى جهد وتحمل كبيرين. 

يحاول هذا البحث دراسة أفعال شخصية (كابتن إيهاب) ونفسيتها التي تتسم بالكبرياء في رواية (الحوت الأبيض) لـ هيرمان ميلفل، ويسعى لإظهار أهمية الكبرياء وتأثيرها الكبير في نفسية الشخصية المذكورة آنفاً وسلوكها وعلى تأثير الكبرياء في تغير سير وتطور الأحداث المثيرة للدهشة، وترمي هذه الدراسة أيضاً إلى تبيان المشاعر النبيلة والقدرات الإنسانية المندفعة بكبريائه حيث يوظفها  أثناء صراعه مع الطبيعة، فيظهر كبرياءه كدافع قوي للتغلب على قوى الطبيعة، وترمي الدراسة إلى تبيان قراراته الفردية ضد قوى الطبيعة وكيف تتوسط سمة الكبرياء المشاعر الداخلية للبطل كمنظم يعمل على دفعه إلى الأمام نحو هدفه المنشود. فشخصية (كابتن إيهاب) تميل للاتسام بالكبرياء الذي يدفعه نحو الأمام، فيظهر الكابتن في الرواية فخوراً معتزاً بذاته وقدراته وبما يمتلكه من إيجابيات، إذ يأتي بأفعال لايجرؤ أي بحار أخر الإتيان بمثلها فيصبح بذلك بطلا بالرغم من موته ومنتصرا وملهما للآخرين.

Published: September 2020

O uso de telas por crianças e adolescentes tem se tornado cada vez mais comum e acessível. O fato despertou a atenção da comunidade científica e a preocupação de pais, professores e profissionais em relação aos possíveis efeitos neuropsicológicos e comportamentais. O presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar e discutir as possíveis implicações neuropsicológicas do uso de telas na infância e na adolescência, a partir do método de revisão bibliográfica narrativa. O estudo evidenciou que a utilização de telas no contexto familiar ocorre de forma crescente e impacta na socialização, na interação e no convívio diário entre pais e filhos, reduzindo estes de forma significativa. Além disso, o cérebro em desenvolvimento sofre impactos a partir de toda e qualquer experiência vivida, inclusive a partir do uso de telas. Os estudos encontrados demonstram impactos em funções neuropsicológicas como: atenção, memória, linguagem, funções executivas, e prejuízos em aspectos sociais, emocionais e comportamentais. Ademais, a utilização desmedida de eletrônicos a partir de telas pode levar a dependência dos mesmos. Novos estudos são necessários para o esclarecimento do impacto real na estruturação do cérebro em formação. Em termos de funções neuropsicológicas, são necessários estudos que esclareçam os efeitos a longo prazo.

São crescentes no contexto esportivo as investigações acerca das virtudes do ser humano, a partir das variáveis da psicologia positiva como otimismo, paixão, esperança e interações sociais. Este estudo buscou analisar o relacionamento treinador-atleta e a esperança de atletas paranaenses de modalidades individuais. Foram sujeitos 101 atletas de diferentes modalidades individuais, de ambos os sexos (20,48±2,54 anos), participantes do 56º Jogos Universitários do Paraná (JUPs) 2016. Como instrumentos foram utilizados a Escala de Esperança Disposicional (EED) e o Questionário de Relacionamento Treinador-Atleta (CARTQ) – Versão atleta. Para análise dos dados utilizou-se os testes Shapiro Wilk, U de Mann Whitney, Kruskall-Wallis e coeficiente de correlação de Spearman (p<0,05). Foram encontrados valores elevados para dimensões proximidade (Md=6,5) e complementaridade (Md=6,0) do relacionamento treinador-atleta. As dimensões da esperança apresentaram valores elevados (agência e caminhos Md=16,0) e esperança global (Md=32,0). Ocorreram correlações positivas em todas as dimensões da esperança e relacionamento treinador-atleta, com destaque para o comprometimento com agência (r=0,35) e esperança global (r=0,36); complementaridade e esperança global (r=0,31). Conclui-se que atletas paranaenses de modalidades individuais têm uma percepção positiva do relacionamento estabelecido com seus treinadores e mostram-se esperançosos, evidenciando capacidades cognitivas motivacionais e desempenho positivos para o alcance de objetivos.
Autoridade ou autoritário? Reflexões a partir do estágio de regência em História no Ensino Fundamental II
Authors: Valente Jaciel Rossa
Published: September 2020

O presente artigo tem como base a experiência obtida no estágio de regência no Ensino Fundamental II, na disciplina de História. Realizado um recorte temporal e espacial no conjunto de situações vivenciadas no estágio, delimitamos um caso de indisciplina como fonte de fomento reflexivo. Assim, estabelecemos a problemática: se o caso vivenciado evidenciava questões para além da indisciplina. Destarte, objetivamos descrever e refletir sobre a situação; realizar o clássico diálogo entre teoria e prática com o intuito de buscar possíveis linhas de compreensão da situação. Empregamos o método estudo de caso explanatório, o debate hermenêutico dentro do campo historiográfico e a autoavaliação sobre nossa postura na regência. Concomitantemente, fizemos uso dos pressupostos de revisão bibliográfica e fichamentos de citações. Desembocamos em três linhas de resultados: indisciplina, contestação da autoridade e exercício da autoridade autoritária. Concluímos com indicações e contribuições para evitar a prática da autoridade autoritária e da indisciplina na sala de aula.

Analisar as dificuldades enfrentadas pelos profissionais de enfermagem na assistência a pacientes queimados; verificar as principais complicações durante o período de tratamento de queimados e identificar problemas na relação interpessoal enfermeiro/paciente e familiares. Metodologia Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, exploratório com abordagem qualitativa, na qual a amostra foi constituída por profissionais de enfermagem, em um hospital referência num município do interior do nordeste. Para coleta do material empírico, foi utilizado um roteiro semiestruturado respeitando os aspectos éticos da Resolução do Conselho Nacional de Saúde de nº 466/12. Quanto ao tratamento, os discursos foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo do tipo temático, proposto por Bardin. Resultados Os resultados deste estudo apontam diversas dificuldades enfrentadas pela equipe de enfermagem, dentre as quais a necessidade constante de médico no setor, pois o cuidado a pacientes queimados requer um tratamento multidisciplinar e a enfermagem sozinha não consegue oferecer um tratamento que seja capaz de contemplar a complexidade da situação.  A complicações mais evidentes em um paciente queimado é o risco de infecção por se tratar de um meio de cultura. Os entrevistados mostraram ter dificuldades quando se tratou de relações interpessoais entre profissionais, família e paciente. Conclusão Os resultados deste estudo apontam diversas dificuldades enfrentadas pela equipe de enfermagem, dentre as quais, a necessidade constante de médico no setor, para conseguir ter uma assistência integralizada. No que concerne às complicações em queimados, foi visto que a chance do paciente desenvolver infecções é grande, devido ao fato dele ter uma grande exposição e pela queimadura ser um meio de cultura. Por se tratar de um setor que requer muito cuidado tanto na assistência direta com o paciente, assim como saber lidar com os familiares que, muitas vezes estão abalados, a equipe de enfermagem precisa estar preparada psicologicamente para saber lidar com os pacientes queimados.

Objetivou-se com este trabalho verificar a influência das épocas de colheita na maturação de variedades de cana-de-açúcar e identificar aquelas de maior produtividade agroindustrial pela metodologia de modelos mistos. Foram avaliadas 26 variedades comerciais em três épocas e três ciclos de colheita, sendo avaliado os seguintes caracteres: toneladas de sacarose por hectare (TSH), toneladas de cana por hectare (TCH), percentual de sacarose no caldo da cana (PCC) e açúcares totais recuperáveis (ATR). Os experimentos foram instalados em delineamento de blocos ao acaso com 4 repetições em esquema fatorial 3x3x26. Foram utilizadas duas metodologias para análise de adaptabilidade e estabilidade: metodologia não paramétrica de Huenh e modelos lineares mistos. A análise de deviance revelou diferenças significativas entre as variedades nas três épocas de colheita, indicando que as respectivas épocas são ambientes contrastantes e exercem influência na expressão fenotípica dos caracteres. Verificou-se a existência de variabilidade genética entre as variedades possibilitando a prática da seleção. As altas estimativas da herdabilidade média sugerem ganhos genéticos significativos com a prática da seleção nos caracteres avaliados. As metodologias empregadas na análise de adaptabilidade e estabilidade não foram concordantes na identificação de variedades mais produtivas nos respectivos segmentos de maturação. A metodologia de modelos mistos mostrou-se mais eficiente e permitiu a identificação da variedade RB92579 como a mais produtiva para TSH e TCH e das variedades RB942520 e RB813804 para PCC e ATR.

Sabe-se que atualmente na rotina dos consultórios odontológicos a frequência de pacientes que fazem o uso de anticoagulantes e antiagregantes plaquetários, é considerável. Esses medicamentos atuam na diminuição da coagulabilidade do sangue, evitando problemas tromboembólicos. Com a evolução dos estudos a cerca deste tema, é possível observar que há uma diversidade de protocolos propostos na literatura que visam o atendimento seguro desses pacientes. Esses protocolos vão desde a troca dos medicamentos, diminuição ou pausa da medicação antitrombótica, até sua manutenção, ressaltando o emprego de técnicas hemostáticas locais. Tendo em vista a utilização de terapia antitrombótica por esses indivíduos que passaram a fazer consultas odontológicas constantes, o propósito deste estudo foi analisar, por meio de uma revisão da literatura, através da pesquisa nas bases de dados Scielo, Bireme e Pubmed, a forma mais adequada para realizar o atendimento desses pacientes que são sujeitos à realização de cirurgias orais. O teste de INR é um cálculo realizado entre o tempo de protrombina e a média do intervalo normal da coagulação, onde demonstra que é confiável realizar cirurgias odontológicas se o INR estiver entre 2 e 3,5. Caso esteja superior a 5, não é recomendado executar nenhum procedimento. Alguns autores afirmam que é confiável realizar cirurgias odontológicas sem grandes sangramentos e de forma segura, desde que o INR esteja em níveis seguros. Nessa perspectiva, foi possível concluir que a manutenção na terapia anticoagulante, associada ao uso de métodos de hemostasia local, representa o protocolo mais apropriado para os casos cirúrgicos a nível ambulatorial.
