Published: October 2020

Lors de la crise Covid-19 en France, il a fallu transférer des patients de zones où les lits de réanimation étaient saturés vers d’autres régions. Tous les moyens ont été utilisés : terrestre, aérien, maritime… Pour la première fois, des trains à grande vitesse (TGV) ont été utilisés. Le transport ferroviaire avait été utilisé largement pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Ces transferts ont nécessité une collaboration extrêmement importante interservices : ministère, agences régionales de santé, hôpitaux, Samu zonaux, Samu, Smur associations de sécurités civiles, sapeurs-pompiers… L’une des collaborations des plus importantes a été celle avec la SNCF qui a permis une adaptation des rames, sécurisations des itinéraires, adaptation de la conduite… Chaque voiture transporte quatre patients intubés en syndrome de détresse respiratoire aiguë avec un médecin senior, un junior, quatre infirmiers et un logisticien pour la réalisation de la surveillance et des soins. Dans chaque rame, une équipe de régulation médicale est présente pour la coordination. Il y a eu dix évacuations sanitaires, qui ont transporté 197 patients sur 6 600 km (350‒950 km/TGV). Le transport le plus long a été de 7 h 14 min. On n’a pas relevé de complications majeures pendant les transferts. Plusieurs questions restent en suspens comme les critères de sélections des patients, la mise en place d’un train sanitaire aménagé permanent, un stock de matériel. Afin de mieux connaître les conséquences sur les patients, une étude est en cours. Les urgentistes ont une nouvelle corde à leur arc avec la possibilité d’effectuer des évacuations sanitaires en TGV pour des patients médicaux graves sur de longues distances.
El Perdón y la furia and José de Ribera’s Journey from Faith to Magic
Authors: Lladó Francisca
Published: October 2020

This article analyses the various components of a graphic novel, El Perdón y la furia [Forgiveness and Fury] by Antonio Altarriba and Keko, about the Baroque painter José de Ribera. It does so within a framework drawn from art history and studies the transgressive role of images through citation, intertextual borrowing, or creation by Keko in the manner of Ribera. A comparative analysis of the artist’s biography and the graphic narration uncovers a series of parallels between historically attested and fictitious events that can be seen as the common thread in a thriller based on the fight against power. It concludes by returning to the same themes within a contemporary setting, while Ribera’s story and that of his present-day fictional counterpart simultaneously reveal human truths.
O que passou?

Published: October 2020

Este texto é o resultado da escrita de uma passagem, feita de tantos passos que foram dados até a decisão do olhar/saber, do fim de uma análise e outros mais até o dizer/saber do passe, exame do que faz um analisante decidir colocar-se como analista, este que, como profere Lacan, “só se autoriza de si mesmo” no seu tempo. Ele foi escrito, num primeiro momento, para ser falado, de forma que é um texto que não perde essa característica de um relato da passagem, causada pela surpresa da nomeação e da experiência do fim de análise e do que isso pode representar. Portanto, fim de um lado e abertura de outro, iniciada por essa primeira fala, agora publicada, depois de um caminho já avançado de outras falas.

Published: October 2020

OBJECTIVE

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is known to reduce motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The effects of DBS on various nonmotor symptoms often differ from patient to patient. The factors that determine whether or not a patient will respond to treatment have not been elucidated. Here, the authors evaluated sex differences in pain relief after DBS for PD.

METHODS

The authors prospectively evaluated 20 patients preoperatively and postoperatively after bilateral STN DBS with the validated numeric rating scale (NRS), Revised Oswestry Disability Index for low-back pain (RODI), and King’s Parkinson’s Disease Pain Scale (KPDPS) and assessed the impact of sex as a biological variable.

RESULTS

The cohort consisted of 6 female and 14 male patients with a mean duration of 11.8 ± 2.0 months since DBS surgery. Females were significantly older (p = 0.02). Covariate analysis, however, showed no effect of age, stimulation settings, or other confounding variables. KPDPS total scores statistically significantly improved only among males (p < 0.001). Males improved more than females in musculoskeletal and chronic subsets of the KPDPS (p = 0.03 and p = 0.01, respectively). RODI scores significantly improved in males but not in females (p = 0.03 and p = 0.30, respectively). Regarding the NRS score, the improvements seen in both sexes in NRS were not significant.

CONCLUSIONS

Although it is well recognized that pain complaints in PD are different between men and women, this study is unique in that it examines the sex-specific DBS effects on this symptom. Considering sex as a biological variable may have important implications for DBS pain outcome studies moving forward.
Systematic review of the nonsurgical management of atlantoaxial rotatory fixation in childhood
Authors: Sae-Huang Morrakot , Borg Anouk , Hill Ciaran Scott
Published: October 2020

OBJECTIVE

Atlantoaxial rotatory fixation (AARF) is an acquired fixed abnormality of C1–2 joint rotation associated with torticollis in childhood. If the condition is left uncorrected, patients are at risk for developing C1–2 fusion with permanent limitation in the cervical range of movement, cosmetic deformity, and impact on quality of life. The management of AARF and the modality of nonsurgical treatment are poorly defined in both primary care and specialized care settings, and the optimal strategy is not clear. This systematic review aims to examine the available evidence to answer key questions relating to the nonsurgical management of AARF.

METHODS

A systematic review was performed using the following databases: PubMed, MEDLINE, Healthcare Management Information Consortium (HMIC), EMCare, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), British Nursing Index (BNI), and Allied and Complementary Medicine Database (AMED). Search criteria were created and checked independently among the authors. All articles with a radiological diagnosis of AARF and primary outcome data that met the study inclusion criteria were included and analyzed by the authors.

RESULTS

Search results did not yield any level I evidence such as a meta-analysis or randomized controlled trial. The initial search yielded 724 articles, 228 of which were screened following application of the core exclusion criteria. A total of 37 studies met the full criteria for inclusion in this review, consisting of 4 prospective studies and 33 retrospective case reviews. No articles directly compared outcomes between modalities of nonsurgical management. Six studies compared the outcome of AARF based on duration of symptoms before initiation of treatment. Comparative analysis of studies was hindered by the wide variety of treatment modalities described and the heterogeneity of outcome data.

CONCLUSIONS

The authors did not identify any level I evidence comparing different nonsurgical management approaches for AARF. There were few prospective studies, and most studies were uncontrolled, nonrandomized case series. Favorable outcomes were often reported regardless of treatment methods, with early treatment of AARF tending to yield better outcomes independent of the treatment modality. There is a lack of high-quality data, and further research is required to determine the optimal nonsurgical treatment strategy.
Pediatric neurosurgery in Asia and Australasia: training and clinical practice
Authors: Baticulon Ronnie E. , Dewan Michael C. , Wittayanakorn Nunthasiri , Aldana Philipp R. , Maixner Wirginia J.
Published: October 2020

OBJECTIVE

There are limited data on the pediatric neurosurgical workforce in Asia and Australasia. The training and clinical practice of pediatric neurosurgeons need to be characterized in order to identify gaps in knowledge and skills, thereby establishing a framework from which to elevate pediatric neurosurgical care in the region.

METHODS

An online survey for pediatric neurosurgeons was created in REDCap (Research Electronic Database Capture), collecting demographic information and data on pediatric neurosurgical training and clinical practice. The link to answer the survey was sent to the mailing lists of the Asian Australasian Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery and the Japanese Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, disseminated during the 2019 Asian Australasian Pediatric Neurosurgery Congress, and spread through social media. The survey was open to neurosurgeons who operated on patients ≤ 18 years old in Asian Australasian countries, whether or not they had completed fellowship training in pediatric neurosurgery. Descriptive statistics were computed and tabulated. Data were stratified and compared based on surgeon training and World Bank income group.

RESULTS

A total of 155 valid survey responses were analyzed, representing neurosurgeons from 21 countries. A total of 107 (69%) considered themselves pediatric neurosurgeons, of whom 66 (43%) had completed pediatric neurosurgery training. Neurosurgeons in East Asia commonly undergo a fellowship in their home countries, whereas the rest train mostly in North America, Europe, and Australia. A majority (89%) had operating privileges, and subspecialty pediatric training usually lasted from 6 months to 2 years. On average, trained pediatric neurosurgeons perform a higher number of pediatric neurosurgical operations per year compared with nonpediatric-trained respondents (131 ± 129 vs 56 ± 64 [mean ± SD], p = 0.0001). The mean number of total neurosurgical operations per year is similar for both groups (184 ± 129 vs 178 ± 142 [mean ± SD], p = 0.80). Respondents expressed the desire to train further in pediatric epilepsy, spasticity, vascular malformations, craniofacial disorders, and brain tumors.

CONCLUSIONS

Both pediatric and general neurosurgeons provide neurosurgical care to children in Asia and Australasia. There is a need to increase pediatric neurosurgery fellowship programs in the region. Skill sets and training needs in pediatric neurosurgery vary depending on the country’s economic status and between pediatric-trained and nonpediatric-trained surgeons.
Comprehensive classification system for multirod constructs across three-column osteotomies: a reliability study
Authors: El Dafrawy Mostafa H. , Adogwa Owoicho , Wegner Adam M. , Pallotta Nicholas A. , Kelly Michael P. , Kebaish Khaled M. , Bridwell Keith H. , Gupta Munish C.
Published: October 2020

OBJECTIVE

In this study, the authors’ goal was to determine the intra- and interobserver reliability of a new classification system that allows the description of all possible constructs used across three-column osteotomies (3COs) in terms of rod configuration and density.

METHODS

Thirty-five patients with multirod constructs (MRCs) across a 3CO were classified by two spinal surgery fellows according to the new system, and then were reclassified 2 weeks later. Constructs were classified as follows: the number of rods across the osteotomy site followed by a letter corresponding to the type of rod configuration: “M” is for a main rod configuration, defined as a single rod spanning the osteotomy. “L” is for linked rod configurations, defined as 2 rods directly connected to each other at the osteotomy site. “S” is for satellite rod configurations, which were defined as a short rod independent of the main rod with anchors above and below the 3CO. “A” is for accessory rods, defined as an additional rod across the 3CO attached to main rods but not attached to any anchors across the osteotomy site. “I” is for intercalary rod configurations, defined as a rod connecting 2 separate constructs across the 3CO, without the intercalary rod itself attached to any anchors across the osteotomy site. The intra- and interobserver reliability of this classification system was determined.

RESULTS

A sample estimation for validation assuming two readers and 35 subjects results in a two-sided 95% confidence interval with a width of 0.19 and a kappa value of 0.8 (SD 0.3). The Fleiss kappa coefficient (κ) was used to calculate the degree of agreement between interrater and intraobserver reliability. The interrater kappa coefficient was 0.3, and the intrarater kappa coefficient was 0.63 (good reliability). This scenario represents a high degree of agreement despite a low kappa coefficient. Correct observations by both observers were 34 of 35 and 33 of 35 at both time points. Misclassification was related to difficulty in determining connectors versus anchors.

CONCLUSIONS

MRCs across 3COs have variable rod configurations. Currently, no classification system or agreement on nomenclature exists to define the configuration of rods across 3COs. The authors present a new, comprehensive MRC classification system with good inter- and intraobserver reliability and a high degree of agreement that allows for a standardized description of MRCs across 3COs.

Scabies is a highly contagious skin disease in humans and other mammals caused by the parasitic mite sarcoptes scabiei. The main transmission of scabies is from direct physical contact, so scabies is susceptible to spread in a closed environment that is densely populated, such as houses, dormitories, and boarding schools. The location of the training is at Sulaimania Boarding School in Kuta Baro District, Aceh Besar Regency. The objective to be achieved from the training activities is to increase the knowledge of students at Sulaimania Islamic Boarding School, through the dissemination of knowledge about clean and healthy living behaviors to prevent scabies. The method used in the form of lectures, practice and frequently asked questions. Evaluation of training activities is carried out by distributing questionnaires before and after the activity. The evaluation showed that overall there was an increase approximately 60.34% in students' understanding of the prevention of scabies and healthy and clean living behaviors and the participants benefited from this training.

Published: October 2020

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) was first described in 1907 and got its name after Alois Alzheimer, a German psychiatrist and neuropathologist. This disease starts slow, increasing gradually to worsen in the due course of time. AD is mainly characterized by the associated dementia, which is a decline of cognitive effects such as memory, praxis, and orientation. The dementia is further highlighted by the presence of psychological and behavioral symptoms. Additionally, AD is also associated with the multiple interconnected pathways linked neuropathological changes such as the formation of neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid-β plaques inside the brain. AD therapeutics have been of prime concern over the decades, resulting in the elucidation of promising therapeutic targets. The requirement of AD stage dependent optimized conditions has necessitated a combinatorial approach toward treatment. The priority in AD research has remained to develop disease-modifying and development-reducing drugs for treatment regimens followed during the early and later stages, respectively.
Connecting Mind-Body Therapy-Mediated Effects to Pathological Features of Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Hüttenrauch Melanie , Lopez-Noguerola José Sócrates , Castro-Obregón Susana
Published: October 2020

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a complex, multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder that represents a major and increasing global health challenge. In most cases, the first clinical symptoms of AD are preceded by neuropathological changes in the brain that develop years to decades before their onset. Therefore, research in the last years has focused on this preclinical stage of AD trying to discover intervention strategies that might, if implemented effectively, delay or prevent disease progression. Among those strategies, mind-body therapies such as yoga and meditation have gained increasing interest as complementary alternative interventions. Several studies have reported a positive impact of yoga and meditation on brain health in both healthy older adults and dementia patients. However, the underlying neurobiological mechanisms contributing to these effects are currently not known in detail. More specifically, it is not known whether yogic interventions, directly or indirectly, can modulate risk factors or pathological mechanisms involved in the development of dementia. In this article, we first review the literature on the effects of yogic practices on outcomes such as cognitive functioning and neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients with mild cognitive impairment and dementia. Then, we analyze how yogic interventions affect different risk factors as well as aspects of AD pathophysiology based on observations of studies in healthy individuals or subjects with other conditions than dementia. Finally, we integrate this evidence and propose possible mechanisms that might explain the positive effects of yogic interventions in cognitively impaired individuals.

Published: October 2020

As the most common form of senile dementia, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is accompanied by a great deal of uncertainty which can lead to fear and stigma for those identified with this devastating disease. As the AD definition evolves from a syndromal to a biological construct, and early diagnoses becomes more commonplace, more confusion and stigma may result. We conducted a narrative review of the literature on AD stigma to consolidate information on this body of research. From the perspective of several stigma theories, we identified relevant studies to inform our understanding of the way in which implementation of the new framework for a biological based AD diagnosis may have resulted in new and emerging stigma. Herein, we discuss the emergence of new AD stigma as our understanding of the definition of the disease changes. We further propose recommendations for future research to reduce the stigma associated with AD.
An effective analysis of online education model based on artificial intelligence
Authors: Peng Lihua
Published: October 2020

With the development of artificial intelligence in education, online education has been recognized by the society as a new teaching method. It can make full use of the advantages of the network across regions, and make full use of the advantages of network technology to share the resources of colleges and universities, which is a promising educational method. In response to the demand of online education for learner information, this paper proposes the learner model Neighbor Mean Variation Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization-Genetic Algorithm (NMVMOPSO-GA). This model includes the learner’s learning interest sub-model, the learner’s cognitive ability sub-model and the learner’s knowledge sub-model. The modelling techniques of the three sub-models are discussed separately, and their status and role in the online education system are analyzed. At the same time, for the knowledge model that reflects the learner’s learning progress and knowledge mastery, a learner knowledge sub-model constructed with Bayesian networks is proposed. The neighbor mean mutation operator is introduced to optimize the multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm and improve the convergence performance and stability of the multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm. We study the application of multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm in online course resource generation service. Through simulation experiments, it is verified that the multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm can improve the performance and stability of online course resource generation.
Solving the fully fuzzy multi-objective transportation problem based on the common set of weights in DEA

Published: October 2020

A transportation problem basically deals with the problem which aims to minimize the total transportation cost or maximize the total transportation profit of distributing a product from a number of sources or origins to a number of destinations. While, in general, most of the real life applications are modeled as a transportation problem (TP) with the multiple, conflicting and incommensurate objective functions. On the other hand, for some reason such as shortage of information, insufficient data or lack of evidence, the data of the mentioned problem are not always exact but can be fuzzy. This type of problem is called fuzzy multi-objective transportation problem (FMOTP). There are a few approaches to solve the FMOTPs. In this paper, a new fuzzy DEA based approach is developed to solve the Fully Fuzzy MOTPs (FFMOTPs) in which, in addition to parameters of the MOTPs, all of the variables are considered fuzzy. This approach considers each arc in a FFMOTP as a decision making unit which produces multiple fuzzy outputs using the multiple fuzzy inputs. Then, by using the concept of the common set of weights (CSW) in DEA, a unique fuzzy relative efficiency is defined for each arc. In the following, the unique fuzzy relative efficiency is considered as the only attribute for the arcs. In this way, a single objective fully fuzzy TP (FFTP) is obtained that can be solved using the existing standard algorithms for solving this kind of TPs. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the developed approach.
Reducing admission hypothermia in newborns at a tertiary care NICU of northern India: A quality improvement study
Authors: Patodia J. , Mittal J. , Sharma V. , Verma M. , Rathi M. , Kumar N. , Jain R. , Goyal A.
Published: October 2020

BACKGROUND:

Hypothermia at admission to neonatal intensive care units (NICU) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in newborns. A baseline study at a tertiary care hospital with all out-born babies showed admission hypothermia of 82%.

OBJECTIVE:

To reduce admission hypothermia (moderate) in newborns at least by 50% in next 6 months.

METHODS:

A quality improvement (QI) study was planned using WHO Point of Care Quality Improvement Model (POCQI), [ 17 ] using PDSA (Plan-Do-Study-Act) cycle approach from April 2018 to March 2019, and including 427 term and preterm babies. We educated the staff, reinforced the use of caps, cling wraps, warm linen, introduced Ziploc bags and ensured adequate use of transport incubator.

RESULTS:

After 6 months, overall admission hypothermia decreased from 82% to 45%, moderate hypothermia reduced from 46% to <10% ( P < 0.001) and severe hypothermia (3%) was completely eliminated. There was also significant reduction in incidence of Intraventricular hemorrhage (13% Vs 4.7%), Late onset neonatal sepsis (38% Vs 19%) and metabolic acidosis (43% Vs 28%). We were able to sustain this improvement for the next 6 months and is ongoing. The strongest predictor of hypothermia was newborns being in the phase before QI initiative was started (OR 2.36, 95% CI 1.47, 3.23).

CONCLUSION:

This study is a cost effective approach in reducing admission hypothermia in NICU in a resource limited setting with all outborn babies, and further decreasing the morbidity associated with it. Hence, emphasizing the importance of maintaining euthermia, not only in delivery rooms, but also during transportation.
Effects of insole on the less affected side during execution of treadmill walking training on gait ability in chronic stroke patients: A preliminary study
Authors: An Bora , Woo Youngkeun , Park Kyuenam , Kim Sujin
Published: October 2020

Background:

People who have had hemiplegic stoke generally move more weight to the unaffected side than the affected side, resulting in asymmetrical posture and decreased ability in walking.

Objectives:

This study sought to investigate the effect of inducing a weight shift to the affected side by raising the shoe height of the less affected side using an insole during the execution of treadmill training on gait ability in people with chronic stroke.

Methods:

The subjects were randomly assigned into two groups: insole on less affected side for execution of treadmill walking training (ILTW) group and normal treadmill training (NTW) group. The treadmill training was conducted for 30 minutes per session, 5 times a week, for 4 weeks. A gait analyzer based on body center, Functional Gait Assessment (FGA), Figure-of-Eight Walk Test (F8WT), and 6 min Walk Test (6 MWT), was measured before first intervention and after twentieth treadmill training intervention (Trial registration number is KCT0003830).

Results:

The results revealed statistically significant differences between the two groups in the Speed, Cadence, Stride Length/Height, Stride Length, Double Support Duration, Single Support Duration, FGA, F8WT, and 6 MWT of the gait test. In the ILTW group, statistically significant improvements were observed in the Speed, Stride Length/Height, Stride Length, Stance Phase Duration, Swing Phase Duration, Double Support Duration, Single Support Duration, FGA, F8WT, and 6 MWT after execution of training, while in the NTW group, statistically significant improvements were observed only in Speed, Cadence, FGA, F8WT, and 6 MWT.

Conclusions:

ILTW, more than NTW, may improve walking ability in people with chronic stroke as it increases the weight-support ratio by adjusting the shoe height of the unaffected side using an insole.
Predicting fringe visibility in dual-phase grating interferometry with polychromatic X-ray sources
Authors: Yan Aimin , Wu Xizeng , Liu Hong
Published: October 2020

Dual phase grating X-ray interferometry is radiation dose-efficient as compared to common Talbot-Lau grating interferometry. The authors developed a general quantitative theory to predict the fringe visibility in dual-phase grating X-ray interferometry with polychromatic X-ray sources. The derived formulas are applicable to setups with phase gratings of any phase modulation and with either monochromatic or polychromatic X-rays. Numerical simulations are presented to validate the derived formulas. The theory provides useful tools for design optimization of dual-phase grating X-ray interferometers.

Ocean Acidification: An Introduction
Authors: Patterson Joshua T. , Krimsky Lisa S.
Published: October 2020

Ocean acidification (OA) generally refers to the ongoing decrease in ocean pH. Ocean acidification is caused primarily by the oceanic uptake of excess carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. Other impacts related to climate change (increased sea level rise, coastal flooding and extreme weather events) often receive more attention than OA, but the acidification of the Earth’s oceans is well documented and is a major concern for the marine science community. This publication is the first in a series that addresses ocean acidification in Florida. It specifically explains the changes that are occurring to the chemistry of our coastal and oceanic waters because of elevated carbon dioxide levels. Additional publications address potential environmental, economic, and social implications for Florida.

A imagem ecologista do Papa Francisco
Authors: Dantas José Erivaldo
Published: October 2020

Segundo Belting “todo ser humano é, naturalmente, um lugar das imagens” (BELTING, 2007, p. 71). É a partir desse lugar que o presente artigo busca compreender a Imagem ecologista do Papa Francisco, buscando traçar o lugar do Papa no mundo e sua representação nesse lugar, como imagem simbólica em relação à práxis pessoal e coletiva. Se para Belting as pessoas se diferenciam umas das outras por causa das imagens que carregam em seu próprio corpo, é possível afirmar que o Papa Francisco se diferencia dos demais papas por ser o primeiro Papa latino-americano que traça o seu pontificado à luz das imagens culturais não totalmente europeias. As imagens que captamos no percurso da vida, deixam em nós uma marca invisível e indelével, de modo que não é possível agir sem estar referenciado por essas imagens, ainda que seja de forma invisível. Nesse sentido, o Papa Francisco não poderia agir de outra forma, se não a partir das imagens próprias do seu contexto cultural latino-americano, bem como, pelo seu onomástico, Francisco.
Risikofaktoren für systemische arterielle Hypertonie: Bewertung der Wirksamkeit von Gesundheitserziehungsmaßnahmen
Authors: Costa Edinaldo Siqueira da , Silva Silvana Rodrigues da
Published: October 2020

Systemische arterielle Hypertonie ist die häufigste von Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen und reagiert als Hauptrisikofaktor für die häufigsten Komplikationen, wie Schlaganfall und akuter Myokardinfarkt, zusätzlich zu chronischen Nierenerkrankungen im Endstadium. Gesundheitserziehung ist das wichtigste Instrument für Veränderungen in Gewohnheiten und Lebensstil, grundlegend im präventiven Prozess für diese Pathologie. Ziel dieser Forschung war es, den Einfluss von bildungspolitischen Maßnahmen im Gesundheitswesen auf systemische arterielle Hypertonie bei der Änderung des Lebensstils der Bediensteten des Gerichtshofs des Staates Amap zu analysieren. Die Studie hatte die Beteiligung von 255 Servern und ein Fragebogen wurde für die Datenerhebung verwendet, die über SPSS Version 22 (IBM SPSS, USA) analysiert wurden. Es wurde beobachtet, dass 54,1 % weiblich, 66,3 % braun, 33,7 % im Alter zwischen 40 und 49 Jahren, 47,8 % eine Höhere Bildung und 59,6 % verheiratet waren oder in einer stabilen Vereinigung lebten. Der Body Mass Index zeigte, dass 48,2% übergewichtig waren, 64,7% hatten einen erhöhten Bauchumfang und 10,6% hatten kapillare Blutzuckerwerte ≥ 99 mg/dL. In Bezug auf den Blutdruck hatten 33,3 % der Männer und 21,7 % der Frauen bp ≥ und 140 bzw. 90 mmHg. Was die Teilnahme an präventiven oder pädagogischen Aktivitäten betrifft, so gaben 76,1 % an, dass ja, von denen 60,4 % sie für zufriedenstellend hielten und 44,7 % der Ansicht waren, dass es keinen Einfluss auf die Änderung des Lebensstils gab. Es wurde der Schluss gezogen, dass Maßnahmen im Gesundheitswesen teilweise auswirkungend auf die Veränderung der Gewohnheiten der Arbeitnehmer sind, da die Indizes der Risikofaktoren nach wie vor Anlass zur Sorge geben.

Exercise conducted at an optimum training load is usually beneficial for the overall health of an individual. However, an unaccustomed intense exercise carried out by untrained individuals or elite athletes during over-training and/or competition-related stress often bear inevitable cardiovascular risks. Although many alterations occurring in the cardiovascular system during exercise are the results of training adaptations, sudden cardiovascular deaths reported in competitive athletes is a matter of grave concern. Several oxidative biomarkers that depict the underlying structural and functional impairment of the myocardial tissue have been identified in the individuals subjected to extensive exercise. The exercise-mediated cardiomyopathy is free radical related and also associated with pro-inflammatory response. In this review we will highlight the possible role of melatonin in obviating irrevocable oxidative cardiovascular injury triggered by extensive exercise stress. Melatonin effectively reduces exercise-induced lipid peroxidation, restores natural cellular antioxidant pool and supresses the innate immune cascade reaction that, otherwise, jeopardize cardiovascular integrity. Melatonin blocks the IKK/IκB/NFκB signaling as well as suppress iNOS and COX-2 mediated inflammation in cardiac tissue. In addition, melatonin reduces blood lactate accumulation and accelerates glucose utilization, thereby, promoting energy metabolism in athletes during their training and competition. Physical exertion associated overheating and the resultant sympathetic outflow impede cardiovascular homeostasis. Melatonin not only attenuates the sympathomedullary stimulation but also protects the cardiac cells from the cytotoxic effect of catecholamines. The available information regarding the efficacy of melatonin in amelioration of exercise-driven oxidative insult in cardiac tissue has been discussed and summarized.

A inserção de licenciandos no ambiente escolar configura-se como uma importante prática para o aperfeiçoamento dos futuros docentes, possibilitando experiências dentro da escola: essa é a proposta do Programa Residência Pedagógica (PRP). O PRP é uma política de formação de professores proposta pela Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) juntamente com o Ministério da Educação (MEC), e é organizado e executado por professores de licenciaturas, professores de escolas públicas, discentes de licenciatura e diversos outros agentes. Desde de 2018, início do programa, até o começo de 2019, os estudantes de licenciatura pertencentes ao PRP estiveram imersos dentro de escolas, conhecendo seu futuro ambiente de trabalho, a dinâmica da escola, seu currículo e toda a sistemática que transforma a escola no que ela é. Este trabalho pretende descrever o resultado das experiências de um grupo de discentes do PRP durante a etapa II do PRP, a ambientação, em uma das escolas participantes do Programa e seu objetivo principal é discutir os resultados da ambientação dos residentes no convívio escolar e como isto influenciou na sua prática docente. Com a ambientação, os estudantes tiveram a possibilidade de conhecer melhor a realidade escolar e desenvolveram um sentimento de pertencimento quanto à escola-campo, reforçando a importância desta etapa do Programa.

Cover crops are used as a strategy to recover degraded soils, improving their physical, chemical and biological characteristics, as well as assisting in the control of weeds through allelochemical compounds released by the shoot degradation process. This work aimed to evaluate the phytotoxicity of the aqueous extract of the cover crops Raphanus sativus L., Avena strigosa (Schreb) and Vicia villosa R. on the germination and initial growth of Zea mays, Amaranthus spinosus L. and Ipomoea grandifolia (Dammer) O'Donnell, as well as to identify and quantify the phenolic compounds present in the extract. Straws from the dried and crushed cover crops were used. The extracts were obtained by mixing 10% R. sativus and A. strigosa, and 12% V. villosa in distilled water (m/v). DIC was used, with four replications, in a 3x4 factorial scheme, with 3 cover crops (R. sativus, A. strigosa and V. villosa) and 4 concentrations (0%, 25%, 50% and 75%). The variables analyzed were: germination, germination speed index (GSI), seedling growth, root protrusion (RP), root protrusion speed index (RPSI) and dry mass of the root and shoot. Higher concentrations of the extracts affected the initial development of maize and weeds. The phenolic compounds identified in greater quantity were benzoic acid, p-coumaric acid, followed by ferulic acid and p-hydroxybenzoic acid. It is suggested that studies of the same nature be carried out in the field, since the interactions between soil microorganisms, climatic conditions can interfere with the results.

Sorghum is a plant of tropical origin, of short days and with high photosynthetic rates, requiring a warm climate in order to express its production potential. The objective is to evaluate the agroclimatic aptitude of the cultivation of sorghum that allows to visualize or identify its productive potential in the state of Pernambuco. The pluviometric data were acquired from the Northeast Development Superintendence and the Pernambuco water and climate agency, the temperature data were from the National Institute of Meteorology and estimated by the estima_T software between the period 1960-2019. In the region of the high sertão and sertão there is moderate fitness due to excess water. In the agreste region full fitness was obtained with prolonged rainy season. In the Zona da Mata and Litoral regions, fitness is unrestricted. The study was carried out using information from the rainy season and without the aid of irrigation, that is, taking into account the rainfed planting.

Heat stroke is part of solar energy that spreads without the need for a material medium and is represented by the hours of the day that the solar disk remains visible on the earth's surface. The objective is to characterize the climatic conditions of insolation using the interpolation method for the area of the hydrographic basin of the Ipojuca River and its surroundings, elaborating a monthly and annual graph for the period from 1962 to 2019. The average climatological data of the total monthly and annual sunshine were generated by the simple interpolation method, using electronic spreadsheets to extract the averages values ​​of the monthly, annual, median, standard deviation, coefficient of variance, maximum and minimum absolute values. Total sunstroke is greater than the cloud coverage in the period from August to March, totaling 1861.8 hours and tenths, while in the same period, the cloud coverage is 0.45 tenths. Low cloud cover, temperature fluctuations and low or no ground cover conditions these incidences of insolation rates above normal. The importance of heat stroke is verified for purposes of applicability in the agricultural sectors, energy generations, aiming at helping industrial parks, energy distributors, agricultural sector and climatic studies that are scarce or widespread. It is observed that the deviations are positive, showing increases in the monthly and annual values, even though the straight line trends show us insignificant reductions for the period studied. The trend lines of the respective 12 months are negative and without insignificance, agreeing with the calculations of the moving averages, stating that there has been a reduction in the sunstroke in the next 9 years and, after 10 years, the insolation rates return to the level of the historical average.
