Efeitos dos Programas de Treinamento Aeróbio, de Força e Combinado na Glicose Sanguínea em Diabéticos do Tipo 2: uma Revisão Sistemática/ Effects of Aerobic, Strength and Combined Programs Training on Blood Glucose in Type 2 Diabetic: a Systematic Review.
Authors: E Silva Alexandre de Souza , Mota Maria Paula Gonçalves
Published: October 2016

O trabalho tem como objetivo analisar os estudos que avaliaram os efeitos dos programas de treinamento aeróbio, força e combinado nos níveis de glicose sanguínea em indivíduos com diabetes do tipo 2. Foi utilizado o método de revisão sistemática, sendo utilizada a base de dados PubMed. As palavras chaves utilizadas para pesquisa foram training and diabetes. Foram identificados 484 artigos originais. Apenas 17 estudos respeitaram os critérios de inclusão. Os resultados evidenciam que os programas de treinamento aeróbio diminuíram os níveis de glicose. O programa de treinamento de força também foi favorável à diminuição dos níveis de glicose sanguínea. Já o programa de treinamento combinado não demonstrou efeitos favoráveis no controle da glicose sanguínea. Conclui-se que o programa de treinamento aeróbio e de força ajudam a controlar os níveis de glicose sanguínea em indivíduos com diabetes do tipo 2. Palavras-chave: diabetes mellitus, treinamento, glicose.ABSTRACTThe study aims to analyze the studies that evaluated the effects of aerobic, strength and combined programs training in blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes. We used a systematic review method and is used to PubMed database. The key words used for searching were training and diabetes. We identified 484 original articles. Only 17 studies complied with the inclusion criteria. The results show that aerobic training programs decreased glucose levels. The strength training program was also favorable to decrease in blood glucose levels. But the combined training program has not shown favorable effects on blood glucose control. We conclude that the aerobic training and strength helps control blood glucose levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Keywords: diabetes mellitus, training, glucose.
Testes Genéticos no Esporte: um Novo Modelo de Predição de Talentos? / Genetic Testing in Sport: a New Talent Prediction Model
Authors: Artioli Guilherme Giannini , Guilherme João Paulo Limongi França
Published: October 2016

As ciências da atividade motora têm passado por avanços bastante rápidos em seu corpo de conhecimento nos últimos anos. Pelo menos em parte, tais avanços podem ser explicados pelo desenvolvimento igualmente rápido das técnicas de biologia molecular, e principalmente de seu emprego nos estudos envolvendo o esporte e o exercício físico. Nesse contexto, estamos vendo emergir um novo campo de estudo dentro das ciências do esporte e do exercício: a genética aplicada à atividade motora. Diferente dos estudos sobre genômica da atividade motora, que se preocupam em investigar os efeitos dos diferentes modelos de exercício agudo e crônico sobre a regulação da expressão gênica e proteica nas mais diversas condições, a genética da atividade motora tem como premissa a identificação de variações genéticas comuns, sejam elas de ordem estrutural (isto é, diferenças nas sequências de pares de bases) ou funcional (que se referem a diferenças interindividuais no funcionamento dos genes explicadas por mecanismos que não contemplem alterações nas sequências de pares de bases), capazes de explicar porque pessoas de características similares apresentam tantas diferenças nos componentes da aptidão física relacionadas à saúde, nas capacidades físicas relacionadas ao desempenho esportivo, e nas adaptações fisiológicas que apresentam quando submetidas ao exercício agudo ou ao treinamento físico crônico. Em outras palavras, a genética da atividade motora preocupa-se em identificar características genéticas que expliquem a imensa variação interindividual no desempenho físico e esportivo que há muito já se conhece.

Objetivo: Identificar o conhecimento e a percepção das mães quanto à sexualidade de seu filho, portador da Síndrome de Down, nas cidades do Sul de Minas Gerais. Materiais e métodos: Estudo de abordagem qualitativa do tipo descritivo, exploratório e transversal. A amostra foi constituída de 20 participantes, que foram escolhidos pela amostragem bola de neve. Para tanto, foi necessário ampliar para as cidades ao redor de Itajubá, são elas: Delfim Moreira, Paraisópolis, Piranguinho e Santa Rita do Sapucaí. Foi utilizado o método do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC), iniciando através da identificação das Expressões Chaves (ECH) onde revelaram as essências do depoimento e a partir delas foram formuladas as Ideias Centrais (IC), que revelaram e descreveram o sentido de cada um dos discursos analisados. Resultados:  A maior parte das mães está consciente da sexualidade de seu filho adolescente, portador de Síndrome de Down, porém não percebem no cotidiano. A segunda maior parte das mães não considera a sexualidade, assim seus filhos são reprimidos e não recebem orientação sexual apropriada.  Conclusão: Oportunizou uma nova visão de atendimento adequado a elas e consequentemente melhor compreensão das mesmas para com seu filho.Palavras-chave: Adolescentes, Sexualidade, Síndrome de Down.ABSTRACTObjective: Identify the knowledge and awareness of mothers who have children with Down syndrome about the sexuality of their children in  cities of southern Minas Gerais.

Analysis of English Teachers’ Roles as Facilitators and Leading Strategies in a Professional Book Discussion Group
Authors: Chien Chin-Wen
Published: October 2016

This study analyzes five elementary school English teachers’ roles as facilitators and their leading strategies in an English teachers’ learning community in a suburban elementary school in northwest Taiwan. Based on the thematic data analysis of interview, document and observation fieldnotes, this study has the following major findings. These participants aspired to be facilitators, but their lack of linguistic competence and leading strategies in the design and delivery of content made them more like sharers. Luckily, other participating teachers’ support and engagement helped them to be more like facilitators. Suggestions for effectively leading a teacher study group are provided.
Mitos na Avaliação: Diz-se que...
Authors: Firme Thereza Penna
Published: October 2016

Falsas verdades têm, há muitas décadas, impregnado o sistema educacional, com fundamentos que justificam a reprovação dos alunos na educação escolar a que têm direito. É urgente, portanto, provocar junto a educadores, famílias e sociedade em geral, uma substancial reflexão, no sentido de substituir a repetência e a evasão por uma avaliação que promova o aperfeiçoamento contínuo das crianças e dos jovens.
Alfabetização e participação social de jovens e adultos no Distrito Federal
Authors: Valente de Aguiar Maria Vilma
Published: October 2016

A presente pesquisa é um estudo de caso realizado no Centro de Estudos Supletivos da Asa Sul (CESAS) em Brasília (DF), com 100 alunos em fase de conclusão de um curso de alfabetização no 2º semestre de 1998. Partiu-se da hipótese de que as pessoas que se alfabetizam em idade adulta alcançam mudanças nas suas condições de vida pessoal e de participação social em virtude da aquisição da competência em compreender mensagens escritas, em se expressar por escrito e desenvolver um raciocínio lógico-matemático referente às quatro operações (adição, subtração, multiplicação e divisão). Os dados obtidos por meio de entrevistas  comprovam mudanças significativas das suas condições de vida, embora não tenham sido detectadas melhorias salariais.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo aplicar a técnica de educação moral intitulada "comunidade justa", proposta por Kohlberg e seus colaboradores da Universidade de Harvard. Aplicou-se um Programa de Treinamento no CCDIA, ONG localizada em Niterói (RJ), no sentido de encorajar os valores, atitudes e conhecimentos mais construtivos nas relações que preparem os alunos a viverem pacificamente. O CCDIA foi escolhido devido ao trabalho que realiza com crianças e adolescentes em situação de risco, residentes nas periferias da cidade de Niterói, com a finalidade de oferecer reforço escolar e reinserção daqueles que abandonaram a escola. Partindo da técnica de discussão de dilemas hipotéticos em grupo e da descrição de um programa que teve por metodologia, dinâmicas de grupo, descrevendo componentes chaves como: aprendizado cooperativo e treinamento para resolução de conflitos observados no cotidiano escolar contextualizado, onde as dimensões pedagógicas e culturais foram articuladas. Concluiu-se através de avaliação que o programa é um eficiente apoio no sentindo de redução de conflitos no interior da instituição e que possam refletir nas atitudes dos alunos dentro e fora dela. Discute-se, também, a aplicação desses programas e avaliações para o contexto das comunidades brasileiras.
Extensão Universitária e o Campo da Política Cultural
Authors: Costa PatrÃ­cia Maneschy Duarte da , Santos SÃ´nia Regina Mendes dos , Grinspun MÃ­rian Paura Sabroza Zippin
Published: October 2016

A proposta deste estudo se insere nas reflexões sobre a Extensão Universitária como lócus para além das práticas articuladas de pesquisa e de ensino na universidade, o que inclui a possibilidade de construção da interlocução da práxis pedagógica e intelectual com a sociedade. Visto dessa forma, as propostas e produtos da extensão mantém e se produzem em uma dinâmica de aprendizagem reflexiva, mútua e autônoma um vínculo entre sociedade e universidade. Nesta interlocução a cultura é o constructo/alicerce que provoca e produz a dinâmica da educação humanizadora, manifestada em suas diversas formas de expressão social. A cultura como objeto de interlocução na extensão contribui para a realização do conceito de cidadania e com a construção de uma práxis política que se compromete com a transformação social. Tais reflexões fazem parte de uma pesquisa cuja principal preocupação do estudo pauta-se em entender: Como, por que e de que forma, e sob quais olhares/perspectivas a cultura tem estado presente nas universidades. Esse artigo aborda as concepções sobre a função da extensão sob o viés da cultura no que considera a pluralidade e a formação das ações com base nos diferentes discursos locais, que negociados criam novos sentidos e podem atender de forma peculiar os interesses da sociedade.
What's in the Words? Development and Validation of a Multidimensional Dictionary for CSR and Application Using Prospectuses
Authors: Pencle Nadra , Mălăescu Irina
Published: October 2016

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and initial public offerings (IPOs) are important aspects of research across multiple academic disciplines, primarily accounting, finance, and management. This research paper seeks to link streams of research through the development of a content analytic dictionary using computer-aided text analysis (CATA).The dictionary, validated in the context of U.S. IPOs between 2011 and 2013, revealed four dimensions of corporate social responsibility. Each of these dimensions is used to predict IPO size in terms of offering price and total shares offered, as well as underpricing on the first day of trade. This research provides a new measure of CSR that can be generalized to other text documents issued by a corporation. Researchers may find this tool useful as we continue to advance our understanding of the explicit and implicit meanings embodied in the CSR disclosures made by corporations.
Clinical/Photographic/Scanning Electron Microscopy Analysis of Pit and Fissure Sealants After 22 Years: A Case Series
Authors: Sundfeld D , Machado LS , Franco LM , Salomão FM , Pini NIP , Sundefeld MLMM , Pfeifer CS , Sundfeld RH
Published: October 2016

Pit and fissure sealant is a clinical technique adopted to prevent caries lesion development. Ionomeric and/or resin-based materials are commonly used for this purpose. This article presents a case series of sealed teeth with 22-year follow-up evaluated by clinical, photographic, and microscopic analysis. In 1992, sixteen patients (9-14 years of age) had at least three teeth sealed with one of the following materials: resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC, Vitrebond or Fuji II LC) or polyacid-modified resin composite (PMRC, VariGlass VLC), totaling 86 sealed permanent teeth. After 22 years, 10 patients were recalled, representing 41 teeth. The retention of sealants was assessed by three methods: clinical analysis by visual inspection; photography; and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images and classified as retained (pits and fissures filled by sealant material); partially retained (pits and fissures partially filled by sealant material); or totally lost (no material was found in pits and fissures). The SEM images provided a higher number of retained sealants when compared with the clinical and photographic evaluations. Also, no totally lost scores were found with SEM analysis, regardless of the sealing material. No caries lesions were found. A fully or partially retained sealant in pits and fissures was capable of preventing caries lesions after 22 years within the patient pool analyzed.
Presence of Anti-Toxocara Antibodies in Sheep from the State of Mexico

Published: October 2016

Toxocariasis is a parasitic zoonosis caused by the nematode Toxocara canis, and less frequently Toxocara cati, whose final hosts are the dog and cat, respectively. It is acquired by the ingestion of embryonated parasite eggs; the ingestion of meat from animals carrying cystic larvae plays a central role in this disease. The study was conducted in Ayapango, Mexico. Ninety-two sheep where used, of which 72 were females and 20 males. The total prevalence of anti-Toxocara antibodies was 15.21% (14/92), ranging from 17.24% in the one to six months age group to 14.28% in the group older sheep six months, with a higher percentage in females (19.44%) compared to males (5.0%), with a significant difference between positive males and females older than six months of age (Chi-square test = 4.22, P < 0.05). The prevalence of anti-Toxocara antibodies in sheep suggests that a high number of animals are infected with Toxocara spp. The consumption of meat from paratenic hosts, including sheep, is considered a means of transmission of toxocariasis to humans.
Growth performance and haematological and immunological indices of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fingerlings supplemented with dietary Ferulago angulata (Schlecht) Boiss
Authors: Bohlouli Somayeh , Sadeghi Ehsan
Published: October 2016

In this study, the effects of Ferulago angulata extract on the growth, haematological, and immunological indices of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fingerlings were evaluated. Basal diet was supplemented with 0 (control), 0.5, 1, and 2 g·kg-1 F. angulata and was randomly allocated to experimental fish of an initial average weight of 7.45 ± 0.02 g. After 8 weeks of experiment, the fish supplemented with F. angulata extract showed increased but non-significant (P > 0.05) growth performance. No significant differences were found between trial control groups in haematological indices such as red blood cell count, haematocrit, and haemoglobin, but there was a significant increase in white blood cells, lymphocytes, neutrophils and monocytes in the F. angulata extract groups (P < 0.05). Also, there were significant differences between the fish supplemented with dietary F. angulata extract and the control group regarding immunological indices, including immunoglobulin M, lysozyme, and classical and alternative complement pathway (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that the administration of F. angulata extract has a positive effect on the immunological indices and the immune system activity in rainbow trout fingerling.
Comparison of continuous versus intermittent furosemide administration in dogs with acute heart failure
Authors: Filipejová Zita , Agudelo Ramírez Carlos Fernando , Crha Michal
Published: October 2016

Pulmonary oedema is a life-threatening condition which should be treated promptly in the emergency room with oxygen, cage rest, and diuretic therapy. Traditionally, bolus administration of furosemide is the treatment of choice. However, there is emerging information that continuous rate infusion might be more effective than bolus injections in relieving clinical signs and producing a lower rate of complications such as azotaemia, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalances. We tested the effect of furosemide both in bolus (4–6 mg/kg intravenously) and continuous rate infusion (1 mg/kg/h) in 30 dogs that had been presented with fulminant pulmonary oedema during 2 days of hospitalization. No differences in the selected biochemical indicators between the groups were found. There were significant differences in blood urea nitrogen in the bolus injection group and creatinine and phosphorus in the continuous rate infusion group between days 1 and 2. The results of this study showed no differences in the approach of furosemide administration in the management of pulmonary oedema. Both methods may cause renal and electrolyte complications, however, further studies with a larger number of patients are recommended.
Detection of Nosema spp. in worker bees, pollen and bee bread during the honey flow season
Authors: Sokół Rajmund , Michalczyk Maria
Published: October 2016

Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae are responsible for nosemosis in the honey bee (Apis mellifera). The aim of the study was to identify Nosema spp. during the honey flow season in bee colonies, for co-infection or no infection with Nosema apis/Nosema ceranae. Hive bees, forager bees, pollen grains brought by them, and bee bread were analysed. In the infected group, 12 of 30 samples of hive bees were infected with Nosema ceranae, 7 were co-infected, 3 were infected with Nosema apis. In samples of forager bees, 21 of 30 were co-infected, 8 were infected with Nosema ceranae. The analysis of pollen demonstrated that only 2 of 30 samples were infected with Nosema ceranae, 3 of 30 samples of bee bread were infected with Nosema ceranae, 3 were co-infected and 1 of 30 were infected with Nosema apis. In the uninfected group, 13 of 30 samples of hive bees were co-infected, 2 were infected with Nosema ceranae. In the forager bees group, 12 of 30 samples were co-infected, 2 were infected with Nosema ceranae. Only 1 pollen sample was infected with Nosema ceranae and 1 was co-infected, 2 of 30 samples of bee bread were co-infected, 2 were infected with Nosema ceranae. The study demonstrated that during the honey flow season, infection by microsporidian species occurs mainly in forager bees. Pollen and bee bread may be a source of spores mainly at the beginning of the honey flow season.

In animal production, alternative strategies to the use of antibiotic growth promoters have stimulated research of dietary supplements to increase resistance, reduce post-weaning gut disorders and growth checks in pigs. This study was performed to determine the influence of dietary mannan oligosaccharide as a potential alternative to antibiotic growth promoters in weaned pigs on: (1) proliferation of circulating and intestinal immune cell subsets, (2) incidence and severity of diarrhoea, and (3) performance during 35 days of trial. Forty-six pigs from a commercial farm were divided into two groups comprising 23 pigs each and treated at 4 weeks of age as follows: controls received standard weaner diet, whereas diet for principals was supplemented with 0.2% of mannan oligosaccharide. The pigs were monitored/sampled on daily, weekly or monthly basis for feed efficiency, growth rate, diarrhoea severity scores, blood samples, rectal swabs and intesinal samples for bacterial isolation/counts and immunohistology/histomorphometry analyses. The principals were heavier (P< 0.05) at 28 days and grew faster between days 7 and 28 compared to controls. Total diarrhoea score recorded in these pigs was decreased by 20.37%. Total bacterial load in jejunum was decreased in these pigs (23 × 107vs. 19 × 108colony forming units/ml) at day 35. Between days 28 and 35 or days 21 and 28, the principals increased in proportions of circulating CD45+, CD4+, CD21+, CD8+cells (P< 0.01), respectively. These pigs had increased (P< 0.05) the number of CD45RA+cells in interfollicular and follicular areas of ileal Payer’s patches at day 35. We concluded that dietary modulation with mannan oligosaccharide resulted in stimulation of immune responses and reduced number of gut microbiota, but not necessarily promoting the growth of pigs.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of pumpkin and flaxseed oils on the fatty acid profile and nutrient changes in table eggs. At 38 weeks of age, Lohmann Brown Lite hens were divided into three groups depending up the diet. The birds were housed in individual cages (6 hens per cage) with a space allowance of 943.2 cm2 per hen, and given diet standard complete feed mixture for laying hens. Hens from experimental groups were fed with complete feed mixtures supplemented by pumpkin (group E1) or flaxseed (group E2) oils at a dosage of 3%. The experiment lasted 52 days. In the last week of the trial, the eggs were collected for chemical analysis. Twelve eggs from each dietary treatment were randomly selected and analysed. Significant differences between control and group E1 in the content of crude protein (P < 0.05), between both experimental groups (E1 and E2) in the content of ash (P < 0.01) in yolk, and between control and the experimental groups in the content of dry matter (P < 0.05) in albumen were detected. Significant (P < 0.01) differences were found in contents of myristic, palmitic, heptadecanoic, oleic, linoleic, and cis-11,14-eicosadienoic acids between control and experimental groups E1 and E2. Compared to control, higher (P < 0.01) concentrations of monounsaturated fatty acids, lower concentrations of saturated fatty acids and also lower contents of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the experimental groups were observed. The supplementation of flaxseed oil had a positive effect on the content of n-3 α-linolenic acid.
Creating a National Open Access Journal System: The Korean Journal Publishing Service
Authors: Park Minsoo , Seo Tae-Sul
Published: October 2016

This paper introduces the Korean Journal Publishing Service (KPubS), a full-cycle open access (OA) publication model and platform prototype for distributing research outcomes in science, technology, engineering, and medicine (STEM) in South Korea. The model comprises four phases: creation, digital archiving, Web service, and circulation. The publication platform developed from this model enables usage of different systems for manuscript management and is connected to a workbench available for full-text XML semi-automatic conversion and a digital object identifier, or DOI, service. Responsive Web technology is applied to enable an adaptive approach for various devices such as desktops, tablets, and mobile phones. With new information technologies emerging in the electronic environment, and users' needs becoming more diversified, there is greater demand for more effort from publishers and editors who work for academic journal publication services. Moreover, it is important in OA (especially in the context of scholarly communication) to raise scientists' awareness of the benefits of OA publishing, which include improved knowledge dissemination, visibility, and speed of publishing—all of which may lead to an increased impact of outcomes in STEM research.

Modern farming is dependent on continual development of improved cultivars and efficient cultural management practice. In addition, dissecting genetic components of heritable traits also relies on the development of large mapping populations. Artificial hybridization is the critical initial step in these processes. Peanut is a self-pollinating crop with a typical yield of less than three seeds per flower; therefore, significant effort is required to produce sufficient hybrid seeds for subsequent trait selection and/or establishment of mapping populations. A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of multiple factors on the success rate of artificial hybridization assessed by transmission of molecular markers unique to the paternal parent. Multiple peanut genotypes were crossed with a breeding line homozygous for both high oleic acid and nematode resistance. The impacts of operator, pollination time, flower integrity, genotype and environment on hybridization were evaluated. Data indicated that operator, pollination time and environment significantly affected the success rate of peanut hybridization. Pods from runner type parental plants that contain hybrid seeds were more likely to contain single seeds than those derived from self-pollination. Hybrid seed loss due to seed rot and peg damage reduced yield. Improving hybridization success rate by increasing humidity, decreasing temperature, personnel training and greenhouse management is recommended.
Calcified cephalohematoma as an unusual cause of EEG anomalies: case report
Authors: Vigo Vera , Battaglia Domenica Immacolata , Frassanito Paolo , Tamburrini Gianpiero , Caldarelli Massimo , Massimi Luca
Published: October 2016

Cephalohematoma, one of the most common neonatal head injuries, generally undergoes spontaneous resorption. When calcified, it may cause cranial vault distortion and depression of the inner skull layer, although it remains asymptomatic. Surgery, indeed, is usually performed for cosmetic purposes. For these reasons, the long-term effects of calcified cephalohematoma (CC) are widely unknown.

The authors report the case of an 11-year-old girl with a persistent calcified CC causing skull deformity and delayed electroencephalography (EEG) anomalies. These anomalies were detected during routine control EEG and were not clinically evident. The young girl underwent surgical removal of the CC for cosmetic purpose. The EEG abnormalities disappeared after surgery, thus reinforcing the hypothesis of a correlation with the brain “compression” resulting from the CC. To the best of the authors' knowledge this is the first time that CC-associated EEG anomalies have been described: even though these anomalies cannot be considered an indication for surgery, they merit late follow-up in case of skull deformity.

The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical results of posterior corrective surgery using a multilevel transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) with a rod rotation (RR) and to evaluate the segmental corrective effect of a TLIF using CT imaging. The medical records of 15 consecutive patients with degenerative lumbar kyphoscoliosis (DLKS) who had undergone posterior spinal corrective surgery using a multilevel TLIF with an RR technique and who had a minimum follow-up of 2 years were retrospectively reviewed. Radiographic parameters were evaluated using plain radiographs, and segmental correction was evaluated using CT imaging. Clinical outcomes were evaluated with the Scoliosis Research Society Patient Questionnaire-22 (SRS-22) and the SF-36.

The mean follow-up period was 46.7 months, and the mean age at the time of surgery was 60.7 years. The mean total SRS-22 score was 2.9 before surgery and significantly improved to 4.0 at the latest follow-up. The physical functioning, role functioning (physical), and social functioning subcategories of the SF-36 were generally improved at the latest follow-up, although the changes in these scores were not statistically significant. The bodily pain, vitality, and mental health subcategories were significantly improved at the latest follow-up (p < 0.05).

Three complications occurred in 3 patients (20%). The Cobb angle of the lumbar curve was reduced to 20.3° after surgery. The overall correction rate was 66.4%. The pelvic incidence–lumbar lordosis (preoperative/postoperative = 31.5°/4.3°), pelvic tilt (29.2°/18.9°), and sagittal vertical axis (78.3/27.6 mm) were improved after surgery and remained so throughout the follow-up. Computed tomography image analysis suggested that a 1-level TLIF can result in 10.9° of scoliosis correction and 6.8° of lordosis.

Posterior corrective surgery using a multilevel TLIF with an RR on patients with DLKS can provide effective correction in the coronal plane but allows only limited sagittal correction.

Published: October 2016

Tocolysis is the relaxation of the pregnant uterus to postpone delivery. Tocolytics are a wide variety of agents used to suppress uterine contraction given when delivery would result in preterm birth. Preterm birth the most important single determinant of adverse outcome in terms of both survival and quality of life of baby. Although preterm birth is defined as being before 37 completed weeks most mortality and morbidity is experienced by babies born before 34 weeks. Prevention and treatment of preterm birth is important though it is not possible when labour is too advanced, cervix is dilated for more than 4 cm and prolongation of pregnancy is hazardous because of intrauterine infection, placental abruption, IUGR, lethal congenital anomaly, severe PIH, eclampsia, active vaginal bleeding or cardiac disease 1,2. The aim of this paper is to review available data about the tocolytics. The tocolytic therapy also helpful for getting time for the administration of dexamethasone/betamethasone, a glucocorticoid drug which greatly accelerates fetal lung maturity. There is no clear first line tocolytic agent 3,4. Various types of drugs are used, with varying success rates and side effects that includes calcium-channel blockers, ? adrenergic receptor agonists, magnesium sulphate, prostaglandin-synthetase inhibitors, oxytocin receptor antagonists. Their specific effects on myometrial contractility, their safety, their efficiency, doses, route of entry, and side effects profile for the mother and the fetus are presented. The main question which tocolytic should be administrated is discussed.Bangladesh J Obstet Gynaecol, 2012; Vol. 27(1) : 21-26
