Authors: Kapustin Vladimir , Chernysheva Elena , Maximova Alexandra , Zinchenko Yulia
Published: July 2017

Currently such factors as the use of heavier feedstocks, permanent strengthening of requirements to oil and gas product quality, introduction of technical regulations for oil products, which, in turn, necessitate the development of new technologies and catalysts, have a great influence on the global oil-refining and petrochemical industry development. Recently, a special attention is given to the development of new catalysts and processes for producing middle distillate fuels suitable for cold and arctic climatic conditions. Catalytic hydrodewaxing and isodewaxing processes are the most efficient in this field. Research into controlling a functional structure of catalysts and creation of catalytic systems based on zirconium dioxide modified by tungstate anions are of outstanding interest. The trend of the use of heavier petroleum feedstocks and the need to improve the oil conversion level demand will be based on destruction of high-molecular-weight compound structures with producing light and middle cuts. So, the most important processes for heavy oil residue conversion are those enabling to control transformations of resinous-asphaltenic materials by using nanoscale catalytic systems. One of the examples of the industrial implementation of technologies using suspended catalysts is the hydroconversion process implemented currently at AO TANECO (lisencer: TIPS RAS; general designer: OAO VNIPIneft).
Children’s Label-Learning Experience within Superordinate Categories Facilitates their Generalization of Labels for Additional Category Members
Authors: Russell Emily E.
Published: July 2017

In two studies, we tested the relationship between children’s label-learning experience and label-learning ability within diverse superordinate categories with complex perceptual organization (animals, clothing, foods). Using both quasi-experimental and experimental designs, we examined 18- and 24-month-old children’s ability to generalize labels for novel members of superordinate categories as a product of their previous experience in learning labels for members of those categories. As predicted, children properly generalized more labels for members of the categories within which they had more label-learning experience than for members of the categories within which they had less label-learning experience. Results are consistent with the idea that children develop category-specific label-learning biases through their experience in learning labels for category members; they carry implications for multiple accounts of vocabulary acquisition and identify directions for future research.

Ferley, DD and Vukovich, MD. Predicting the intensity for performing supramaximal incline treadmill interval training in distance runners. J Strength Cond Res 33(5): 1354–1361, 2019—Recent evidence highlights the effectiveness of 30-second bouts paired with level-grade supramaximal interval training (SMIT) and incline treadmill training (INC), respectively, in distance runners. Although INC has been described as a form of SMIT, no investigation of INC involving a supramaximal intensity and 30-second bouts has occurred; hence, no established recommendation for prescribing a supramaximal intensity with 30-second bouts for INC exists. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation included reporting on the time-to-exhaustion (Tmax) response and test-retest reliability of running on a 5% grade using supramaximal intensities of 110, 115, 120, 125, and 130% of the velocity associated with maximum oxygen consumption (Vmax). Additionally, these measures were assessed during 140% Vmax and 1% grade. A second aim included determining the %Vmax associated with a 30-second effort via bivariate analysis. Twelve distance runners (age, 26.9 ± 4.8 years; body mass, 69.2 ± 11.7 kg; height, 177.3 ± 10.2 cm; and Vo
2max, 61.4 ± 6.3 ml·kg−1·min−1) completed 2 Tmax trials at each intensity for measures of reliability. The dependent variable was the Tmax of each condition. Statistical significance was set to p ≤ 0.05. Student's t-test revealed no significant differences between trials for all intensities. One-way analysis of variance revealed (a) that Tmax during INC at 110% Vmax was significantly different than all conditions except 115% Vmax and (b) no significant difference in Tmax between 120, 125, 130, and 140% Vmax conditions. In conclusion, Tmax of all conditions proved reliable, and bivariate analysis revealed running at 125% Vmax on a 5% grade yielded a 30-second effort.

Elliot, CA, Hamlin, MJ, and Lizamore, CA. Validity and reliability of the Hexoskin wearable biometric vest during maximal aerobic power testing in elite cyclists. J Strength Cond Res 33(5): 1437–1444, 2019—The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Hexoskin vest for measuring respiration and heart rate (HR) in elite cyclists during a progressive test to exhaustion. Ten male elite cyclists (age 18–52 yrs, height 179.3 ± 6.0 cm, body mass 73.2 ± 9.1 kg, Vo
2max 60.7 ± 7.8 ml·kg·min−1, mean ± SD) conducted a maximal aerobic cycle ergometer test using a ramped protocol (starting at 100 W with 25 W increments each min to failure) during 2 separate occasions over a 3–4-day period. Compared with the criterion measure (MetaMax 3B) the Hexoskin vest showed mainly small typical errors (1.3–6.2%) for HR and breathing frequency (f), but larger typical errors (9.5–19.6%) for minute ventilation (VE) during the progressive test to exhaustion. The typical error indicating the reliability of the Hexoskin vest at moderate-intensity exercise between tests was small for HR (2.6–2.9%) and f (2.5–3.2%) but slightly larger for VE (5.3–7.9%). We conclude that the Hexoskin vest is sufficiently valid and reliable for measurements of HR and f in elite athletes during high-intensity cycling but the calculated VE value by the Hexoskin vest produced during such exercise should be used with caution because of the lower validity and reliability of this variable.

Rossetti, ML, Munford, SN, Snyder, BW, Davis, SE, and Moir, GL. The effects of multiple sets of squats and jump squats on mechanical variables. J Strength Cond Res 34(4): 1017–1023, 2020—The mechanical responses to 2 nonballistic squat and 2 ballistic jump squat protocols performed over multiple sets were investigated. One protocol from each of the 2 nonballistic and ballistic conditions incorporated a pause between the eccentric and concentric phases of the movements in order to determine the influence of the coupling time on the mechanical variables and postactivation potentiation (PAP). Eleven men (age: 21.9 ± 1.8 years; height: 1.79 ± 0.05 m; mass: 87.0 ± 7.4 kg) attended 4 sessions where they performed multiple sets of squats and jump squats with a load equivalent to 30% 1-repetition maximum under one of the following conditions: (a) 3 × 4 repetitions of nonballistic squats (30N-B); (b) 3 × 4 repetitions of nonballistic squats with a 3-second pause between the eccentric and concentric phases of each repetition (30PN-B); (c) 3 × 4 repetitions of ballistic jump squats (30B); (d) 3 × 4 repetitions of ballistic jump squats with a 3-second pause between the eccentric and concentric phases of each repetition (30PB). Force plates were used to calculate variables including average vertical velocity, average vertical force (GRF), and average power output (PO). Vertical velocities during the ballistic conditions were significantly greater than those attained during the nonballistic conditions (mean differences: 0.21–0.25 m·s−1, p < 0.001, effect sizes [ES]: 1.70–1.89) as were GRFs (mean differences: 478–526 N, p < 0.001, ES: 1.61–1.63), and PO (mean differences: 711–869 W, p < 0.001, ES: 1.66–1.73). Moreover, the increase in PO across the 3 sets in 30B was significantly greater than the changes observed during 30N-B, 30PN-B, and 30PB (p ≤ 0.015). The pause reduced the mechanical variables during both the nonballistic and ballistic conditions, although the differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Ballistic jump squats may be an effective exercise for developing PO given the high velocities and forces generated in these exercises. Furthermore, the completion of multiple sets of jump squats may induce PAP to enhance PO. The coupling times between the eccentric and concentric phases of the jump squats should be short in order to maximize the GRF and PO across the sets.

Vaquera, A, Suárez-Iglesias, D, Guiu, X, Barroso, R, Thomas, G, and Renfree, A. Physiological responses to and athlete and coach perceptions of exertion during small-sided basketball games. J Strength Cond Res 32(10): 2949–2953, 2018—This study describes heart rate (HR) responses during different small-sided games (SSGs) in junior basketball players and identifies the level of agreement between athlete and coach perceptions of internal training load calculated using the in-task rating of perceived exertion (RPE) method. Over a 6-week period, 12 male junior basketball players, who played in the Spanish national under-18 League, played 7 games of one-a-side (1v1), 6 games of 2-a-side (2v2), 8 games of 5-a-side (5v5), and 5 games of superiority (3v2) situations. During 1v1, 2v2, 5v5, and 3v2, peak HRs were 90.27 ± 3.37%, 92.68 ± 3.29%, 92.01 ± 3.48%, and 88.74 ± 5.77% of HRmax, respectively. These differences were statistically significant between 1v1 and 2v2 (p < 0.01), 1v1 and 5v5 (p ≤ 0.05), 2v2 and 3v2 (p < 0.001), and 5v5 and 3v2 (p < 0.001). Mean HR was 79.5 ± 4.4%, 83.1 ± 4.2%, 91.2 ± 4.7%, and 78.5 ± 7.5% of HRmax during 1v1, 2v2, 5v5, and 3v2, respectively, and differences were observed between 1v1 and 2v2 (p < 0.001), 2v2 and 3v2 (p < 0.001), and 5v5 and 3v2 (p ≤ 0.05). There were differences in athletes and coaches in-task RPE in all SSGs (all p < 0.0001 apart from 5 × 5 p = 0.0019). The 2v2 format elicited a higher mean in-task RPE in comparison with all other SSGs (p < 0.001), possibly because 2v2 imposes a greater cognitive load.

J Strength Cond Res 32(8): 2363–2374, 2018—The purpose of this study was to suggest a ranking prediction model using the competition record of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) players. The top 100 players on the tour money list from the 2013–2016 US Open were analyzed in this model. Stepwise regression analysis was conducted to examine the effect of performance and independent variables (i.e., driving accuracy, green in regulation, putts per round, driving distance, percentage of sand saves, par-3 average, par-4 average, par-5 average, birdies average, and eagle average) on dependent variables (i.e., scoring average, official money, top-10 finishes, winning percentage, and 60-strokes average). The following prediction model was suggested:

Scoring of the above 5 prediction models and the prediction of golf ranking in the 2016 Women's Golf Olympic competition in Rio revealed a significant correlation between the predicted and real ranking (r = 0.689, p < 0.001) and between the predicted and the real average score (r = 0.653, p < 0.001). Our ranking prediction model using LPGA data may help coaches and players to identify which players are likely to participate in Olympic and World competitions, based on their performance.

Chu, E, Kim, Y-S, Hill, G, Kim, YH, Kim, CK, and Shim, JK. Wrist resistance training improves motor control and strength.J Strength Cond Res32(4): 962–969, 2018—The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 6-week direction-specific resistance training program on isometric torque control and isokinetic torque strength of the wrist joint. Nineteen subjects were randomly assigned to either the wrist training group (n= 9) or the control group (n= 10). The training group performed wrist exercises in 6 directions (flexion, extension, pronation, supination, radial deviation, and ulnar deviation), whereas the control group did not. Data were collected on the isometric torque control, 1-repetition maximum (1RM) strength, and isokinetic maximum torque (angular velocity of 60° per second wrist movements) before and after 6 weeks of resistance training and at 2-week intervals during training. The training group showed significant decreases in isometric torque control error in all 6 directions after 2 weeks of resistance training, whereas the control group did not show significant increase or decrease. After 4 weeks of training, the training group showed significant increases in maximum strength in all 6 directions as assessed by 1RM strength and isokinetic strength tests, whereas the control group did not show any statistically significant changes. This study shows that motor control significantly improves within the first 2 weeks of resistance training, whereas the wrist strength significantly improves within the first 4 weeks of resistance training. Based on the findings of this study, coaches and trainers should consider wrist resistance training to improve athletes' muscular strength and control of the wrist muscles.

Relationship between physical fitness at the end of preseason and the inseason game performance in Japanese female professional baseball players. J Strength Cond Res 33(6): 1580–1588, 2019—This study examined anthropometric and fitness profiles of Japanese female professional baseball players and investigated the relationship between players' physical fitness and inseason game performance. Fifty-seven players who were registered in the Japan Women's Baseball League (JWBL) participated. Height, body mass, grip strength, back strength, knee extension and flexion strength, hamstring extensibility, vertical jump height, and horizontal jump distance were measured at preseason (February and March) in 2013. Game performance during the 2013 season (March–November) was obtained from official JWBL statistics. Vertical jump height showed significant positive correlations with individual performance records (e.g., total bases [r = 0.551], slugging percentage [r = 0.459], and stolen bases [r = 0.442]). Similar relationships were observed between horizontal jump distance and performance statistics in most cases. By contrast, grip, back, and lower-limb strength, as well as hamstring extensibility were not significantly correlated with game performance. Stepwise regression analysis selected vertical jump height as an independent variable, significantly correlating with several game performance measures (e.g., total bases: adjusted R
2 = 0.257). Also, vertical jump height and body mass index were identified as independent variables significantly associated with stolen bases (adjusted R
2 = 0.251). Maximal jump performance, rather than simple isometric muscle strength or flexibility, is a good performance test that can be used at the end of preseason to predict inseason batting and stolen base performance. Our findings demonstrate the importance of constructing preseason training programs to enhance lower-limb muscular power that is linked to successful inseason performance in female baseball players.

Castagna, C, Lorenzo, F, Krustrup, P, Fernandes-da-Silva, J, Póvoas, SCA, Bernardini, A, and D'Ottavio, S. Reliability characteristics and applicability of a repeated sprint ability test in young male soccer players. J Strength Cond Res 32(6): 1538–1544, 2018—The aim of this study was to examine the usefulness and reliability characteristics of a repeated sprint ability test considering 5 line sprints of 30 m interspersed with 30 seconds of active recovery in nonelite, outfield, young, male soccer players. Twenty-six (age, 14.9 ± 1.2 years; height, 1.72 ± 0.12 cm; body mass, 62.2 ± 5.1 kg) players were tested 48 hours and 7 days apart for 5 × 30-m performance over 5 trials (T1–T5). Short-term (T1–T2) and long-term (T1–T3–T4–T5) reliabilities were assessed with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and with typical error for measurement (TEM). Short- and long-term reliability ICCs and TEMs for total sprint time and best sprint performance were nearly perfect and satisfactory, respectively. Usefulness (as smallest worthwhile change and TEM ratio) resulted acceptable (i.e., = 1) and good (i.e., >1) for total sprint time and best sprint performance, respectively. The present study revealed that the 5 × 30-m sprint test is a reliable field test in short and long terms when the sum of sprint times and the best sprint performance are considered as outcome variables. Sprint performance decrements variables showed large variability across trials.

Toffan, A, Alexander, MJL, and Peeler, J. Comparison of the technique of the football quarterback pass between high school and university athletes. J Strength Cond Res 32(9): 2474–2497, 2018—The purpose of the study was to compare the most effective joint movements, segment velocities, and body positions to perform the fastest and most accurate pass of high school and university football quarterbacks. Secondary purposes were to develop a quarterback throwing test to assess skill level, to determine which kinematic variables were different between high school and university athletes, and to determine which variables were significant predictors of quarterback throwing test performance. Ten high school and 10 university athletes were filmed for the study, performing 9 passes at a target and 2 passes for maximum distance. Thirty variables were measured using Dartfish Team Pro 4.5.2 video analysis system, and Microsoft Excel was used for statistical analyses. University athletes scored slightly higher than the high school athletes on the throwing test; however, this result was not statistically significant. Correlation analysis and forward stepwise multiple regression analysis were performed on both the high school players and the university players to determine which variables were significant predictors of throwing test score. Ball velocity was determined to have the strongest predictive effect on throwing test score (r = 0.900) for the high school athletes; however, position of the back foot at release was also determined to be important (r = 0.661) for the university group. Several significant differences in throwing technique between groups were noted during the pass; however, body position at release showed the greatest differences between the 2 groups. High school players could benefit from more complete weight transfer and decreased throw time to increase throwing test score. University athletes could benefit from increased throw time and greater range of motion in external shoulder rotation and trunk rotation to increase their throwing test score. Coaches and practitioners will be able to use the findings of this research to help improve these and related throwing variables in their high school and university quarterbacks.

Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae (Mccp) is a common pathogen of goats that causes contagious caprine pleuropneumonia. We closed the gap and corrected rRNA operons in the draft genome of Mccp M1601: a strain isolated from an infected goat in a farm in Gansu, China. The genome size of M1601 is 1,016,707 bp with a GC content of 23.67%. We identified 915 genes (occupying 90.27% of the genome), of which 713 are protein-coding genes (excluding 163 pseudogenes). No genomic islands and complete insertion sequences were found in the genome. Putative determinants associated with the organism’s virulence were analyzed, and 26 genes (including one adhesion protein gene, two capsule synthesis gene clusters, two lipoproteins, hemolysin A, ClpB, and proteins involved in pyruvate metabolism and cation transport) were potential virulence factors. In addition, two transporter systems (ATP-binding cassette [ABC] transporters and phosphotransferase) and two secretion systems (Sec and signal recognition particle [SRP] pathways) were observed in the Mccp genome. Genome synteny analysis reveals a good collinear relationship between M1601 and Mccp type strain F38. Phylogenetic analysis based on 11 single-copy core genes of 31 Mycoplasma strains revealed good collinearity between M1601 and Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capricolum (Mcc) and close relationship among Mycoplasma mycoides cluster strains. Our genome-wide analysis of Mccp M1601 provides helpful information on the pathogenic mechanisms and genetics of Mccp.
Predicting Amino Acid Substitution Probabilities Using Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms
Authors: Rizzato Francesca , Rodriguez Alex , Biarnés Xevi , Laio Alessandro
Published: July 2017

Fast genome sequencing offers invaluable opportunities for building updated and improved models of protein sequence evolution. We here show that Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) can be used to build a model capable of predicting the probability of substitution between amino acids in variants of the same protein in different species. The model is based on a substitution matrix inferred from the frequency of codon interchanges observed in a suitably selected subset of human SNPs, and predicts the substitution probabilities observed in alignments between Homo sapiens and related species at 85–100% of sequence identity better than any other approach we are aware of. The model gradually loses its predictive power at lower sequence identity. Our results suggest that SNPs can be employed, together with multiple sequence alignment data, to model protein sequence evolution. The SNP-based substitution matrix developed in this work can be exploited to better align protein sequences of related organisms, to refine the estimate of the evolutionary distance between protein variants from related species in phylogenetic trees and, in perspective, might become a useful tool for population analysis.

Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT Physalis is represented by species that produce fruits with relevant potential for national and international marketing. The species are normally grown from seeds, so maturation studies are important to assist the point of harvest, as well as seeds with a high physiological potential, since the fruits remain enclosed within a cup throughout their development. Despite the nutraceutical importance of fruits and medicinal potential of many species of Physalisinformation on the physiological seeds quality are scarce. This study aimed to monitor the physical and physiological changes of maturation and the viability of seeds during fruit development stages. The fruits of P. ixocarpa were collected in 15, 25, 35, 45, 55 days after anthesis (DAA). Length, diameter, fresh weight, skin and cup coloring characterization, TSS content, number and weight of seeds per fruit were obtained at each development stage. We also evaluated and correlated the coloring and pigment content of the cup (chlorophyll a and b). Water content, dry matter weight and germination rate were measured from fresh and dry seeds (room conditions, 72 hours). The main physical and physiological changes during maturation occurred within 35 DAA. The maximum physiological seeds quality was achieved within 45 DAA when the cup is completely or partially broken with coloring between yellowish-green and light-yellowish-brown and the ripe fruit in dark-green.

ABSTRACT The objective of this research was evaluate the damage caused by the yellow beetle on 85 guava accessions and correlations of the damage with the climatological elements and the production of fruit in an orchard of guava conducted in organic system. Ten leaves by access were analyzed containing the injury of insect attack. Each leaf had its foliar area measured by leaf area meter and, after obtaining the total area, the leaf was covered with duct tape, and measure again. The averages were compared by Scott-Knott test at 5% probability. The 15 accessions with highest average damage had the data submitted to the correlation with the minimum and maximum temperature, precipitation and relative humidity. The production was obtained by the number of fruits/plant. The damages are negatively correlated with the mean relative humidity of 7:00h (local time) in the period of 14 days prior to the assessments, and negatively affect production. The accessions Saito, L4P16, Monte Alto Comum 1 and L5P19 are promising in organic agriculture, for presenting good production and minor damage to insect attack, when compared to others.

Authors: Fabiani Isadora Moscardini , Rocha Sérgio Luiz
Published: July 2017

RESUMO Objetivo: analisar a influência da glutamina nas alterações morfo-histológicas observadas em íleo, pulmão, rim e fígado de ratos Wistar submetidos à sepse. Métodos: a sepse foi induzida por meio de ligadura e punção do ceco. Os animais foram divididos em dois grupos: grupo A, controle, com cinco animais, e grupo B, experimento, com dez animais que utilizaram previamente glutamina por dois dias por via enteral. Na análise histológica, classificou-se as lesões de acordo com um escore cujo valor atribuído dependia da gravidade da lesão e do órgão acometido. A somatória dos valores atribuídos a cada animal resultou em sua nota final. No íleo, avaliaram-se as vilosidades; no fígado, esteatose microgoticular; no pulmão, pneumonite intersticial; e no rim, vacuolização dos túbulos contorcidos proximais. Resultados: a lise celular e a destruição das vilosidades no íleo do grupo controle foram mais intensas em relação aos animais que receberam glutamina. No rim, verificou-se vacuolização mais acentuada dos túbulos contorcidos proximais no grupo controle em relação aos animais que receberam glutamina. Tanto a esteatose microgoticular como a pneumonite intersticial mostraram-se semelhantes em ambos os grupos. Conclusão: o uso de glutamina via enteral previamente à sepse na dose de 0,5 g/kg/dia preservou de maneira significativa a estrutura histológica do intestino delgado e os rins em ratos.

RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar o resultado no pós-operatório precoce do tratamento da hérnia inguinal pela técnica convencional com tela autofixante versus videolaparoscópica totalmente extraperitoneal com uso da tela de polipropileno. Foram comparados, sobretudo, dor, tempo cirúrgico e complicações precoces. Métodos: estudo prospectivo, de série de casos, realizado na Clínica Cirúrgica A, do Hospital Universitário Gaffrée e Guinle (HUGG), no qual 80 casos consecutivos foram estudados. Apenas pacientes com hérnia inguinal unilateral, não recidivada e operadas em caráter eletivo foram incluídas no estudo. Os pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos, de 40 pacientes cada; grupo AF (técnica convencional com uso de tela autofixante) e grupo VL (técnica videolaparoscópica com uso de tela de polipropileno). Os pacientes foram acompanhados até o 45º dia de pós-operatório. Resultados: dos 80 pacientes operados no estudo, 98,7% pertenciam ao sexo masculino e a maioria era portadora de hérnia inguinal direita indireta (Nyhus II). Não houve diferença entre os grupos estudados no que diz respeito à dor e tempo operatório. No entanto, ocorreram mais complicações (seroma e hematoma) no grupo da cirurgia aberta. Conclusão: as duas operações realizadas se mostraram factíveis, seguras e estão relacionadas à mínima dor pós operatório e a um baixo tempo cirúrgico.

Métodos: estudo de prevalência retrospectivo a partir da análise de laudos de espécimes histopatológicos de pacientes submetidos à colecistectomia, no período de janeiro de 2010 a maio de 2015. Resultados: foram analisados 893 laudos de pacientes submetidos à colecistectomia, dos quais 144 de urgência e 749 eletivas (16,2% e 83,8%, respectivamente). Segundo o sexo, 72,8% correspondiam ao feminino e 27,2%, ao masculino. Em 12 pacientes (1,3%) foi evidenciado o diagnóstico de adenocarcinoma de vesícula biliar e, em um (0,1%), o diagnóstico de linfoma não Hodgkin. Dos 13 pacientes com neoplasia, sete (53,8%) apresentaram colecistolitíase associada. Em dois doentes (15,3%) foi constatado pólipo de vesícula biliar. Sete (53,8%) doentes foram operados com a hipótese diagnóstica de neoplasia de vesícula biliar. Conclusão: a prevalência do adenocarcinoma de vesícula biliar no presente estudo foi semelhante à dos estudos ocidentais e o principal fator de risco foi a colecistolitíase, seguido pela presença de pólipos de vesícula biliar.

RESUMO Objetivo: verificar o grau de conhecimento entre cirurgiões, sobre as recomendações do Projeto ACERTO em cirurgia bariátrica, correlacionando o "imaginário", sobre suas prescrições, e a "realidade", através de dados de prontuários de seus pacientes. Métodos: estudo observacional longitudinal prospectivo comparativo entre o "imaginário" dos cirurgiões, obtido através de respostas de questionário sobre condutas recomendadas pelo ACERTO e a análise de dados clínicos "reais" encontrados em prontuários de pacientes submetidos à cirurgia bariátrica. Foram analisados: jejum pré-operatório, realimentação precoce, hidratação venosa perioperatória, antibioticoprofilaxia, uso de sondas e drenos, analgesia e profilaxia de náuseas e vômitos. Foram confrontadas as respostas de sete cirurgiões e dados de 200 prontuários médicos. Resultados: todos os cirurgiões entrevistados conheciam o Projeto ACERTO. Cinco (72%) responderam que seguiam o protocolo completamente. O tempo mediano de jejum pré-operatório foi maior do que o relatado pelos cirurgiões (p<0,05). Os pacientes receberam realimentação precoce em 96,5% dos casos. O volume mediano de fluidos prescritos nas primeiras 24 horas foi 4000ml, condizente com a entrevista. Em relação à antibioticoprofilaxia, uso de sondas e drenos, analgesia e prevenção de náuseas e vômitos, não houve diferença entre o respondido e o constatado nos prontuários. Conclusão: o Projeto ACERTO era bem praticado entre os cirurgiões pesquisados, havendo boa correlação entre o "imaginário" e "realidade" dos cuidados perioperatórios prescritos em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia bariátrica.

RESUMO Objetivos: avaliar a incidência de complicações pulmonares pós-operatórias em pacientes submetidos à cirurgias de tórax e abdome e os principais fatores envolvidos. Métodos: estudo analítico observacional prospectivo dos pacientes submetidos à cirurgias de tórax e abdome no Hospital Santo Antônio de Blumenau, SC. Os dados foram coletados dos prontuários eletrônicos e através de entrevistas estruturadas com os pacientes. Foram avaliados dados relativos às características dos pacientes e da cirurgia. A variável de desfecho foi a ocorrência de complicações pulmonares pós-operatórias. Resultados: foram estudados 314 pacientes, 65,6% do sexo feminino, com média de idade de 46,61 anos, 51,6% classificados como ASA II. Cirurgias por vídeo foram realizadas em 55,7% dos casos, abdominais em 85,4% e 61,5% dos procedimentos foram classificados como potencialmente contaminadas e de porte médio. O tempo médio de cirurgia foi de 126,65 minutos e os pacientes ficaram internados em média por 2,59 dias. A incidência de complicações pulmonares pós-operatórias foi de 11,5%. As complicações mais comuns foram a insuficiência respiratória, o derrame pleural e a pneumonia. Os fatores de risco mais importantes para estas complicações foram diabetes, internação hospitalar por mais de cinco dias e presença de doença pulmonar prévia. Os pacientes submetidos às cirurgias por vídeo apresentaram menor incidência de complicações. Conclusão: as complicações pulmonares pós-operatórias são frequentes e os fatores associados a maior risco foram diabetes, internação prolongada e presença de doença pulmonar prévia.
Estenose de carótida extracraniana: revisão baseada em evidências
Authors: Flumignan Carolina Dutra Queiroz , Flumignan Ronald Luiz Gomes , Navarro Túlio Pinho
Published: July 2017

RESUMO A doença vascular cerebral extracraniana é uma das mais importantes causas de morte e de incapacidade em todo o mundo e seu tratamento se baseia em estratégias clínica e cirúrgica, sendo que esta última pode ser feita pelas técnicas convencional ou endovascular. O manejo da estenose da bifurcação carotídea visa principalmente a prevenir o acidente vascular cerebral e tem sido objeto de extensa investigação. O papel do tratamento clínico tem sido re-enfatizado, mas a endarterectomia de carótida permanece como o tratamento de primeira linha para pacientes sintomáticos com estenose de 50% a 99% e, para pacientes assintomáticos, com estenose de 60% a 99%. A angioplastia com stent é reservada para pacientes sintomáticos, com estenose de 50% a 99% e com risco elevado para a cirurgia aberta, por motivos anatômicos ou clínicos. Atualmente, o procedimento endovascular não é recomendado para pacientes assintomáticos que tenham condições de serem submetidos ao tratamento cirúrgico convencional. O Brasil apresenta tendência semelhante à de outros países da América do Norte e Europa, observando a manutenção da endarterectomia como a principal indicação para o tratamento da estenose carotídea e reservando o procedimento endovascular para casos em que há contraindicações para a primeira intervenção. Todavia, temos de melhorar os nossos resultados, reduzindo as complicações, notadamente a taxa de mortalidade geral.

RESUMO Os programas de Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde (RMS) provocam reflexões sobre o cotidiano, as relações e o processo de trabalho e têm potencial de modificar não apenas a perspectiva do indivíduo formado, mas os próprios espaços em que se desenvolvem, fortalecendo o contínuo processo de educação permanente em saúde. Estudos que investiguem como tem se estruturado os programas de residência multiprofissional apoiados pelo Ministério da Saúde (MS) são oportunos e relevantes, ante as contribuições dessas iniciativas para o Sistema Único de Saúde. Este trabalho analisa as RMS, com o objetivo de identificar de que maneira os programas financiados pelo MS encontram-se distribuídos regionalmente pelo País. Realizou-se uma pesquisa documental exploratória utilizando-se editais e portarias publicados pelo MS no período de 2009 a 2015. A maioria dos programas aprovados se concentrou na região Sudeste, principalmente em São Paulo, seguida pelas regiões Nordeste e Sul. As regiões Norte e Centro-Oeste foram as menos representativas no total de programas selecionados. Já o Nordeste apresentou um incremento de programas induzido pela prioridade dada nos editais publicados. Observou-se uma tentativa de organização na distribuição e uma tendência ao aumento dos programas apresentados e aprovados.

RESUMO O objetivo do artigo foi discutir as características da formação em gestão em saúde oferecida no Brasil, desde sua origem histórica e de oferta de cursos. O estudo foi realizado por meio de um mapeamento de cursos de gestão em saúde, de diferentes níveis de formação, levantados em sítios institucionais. Os cursos se caracterizam pela diversidade em sua denominação, modalidade, categoria administrativa, região e ano de início. O enfrentamento do desafio de gestão do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) guarda relação com iniciativas de formação de seus gestores. O direcionamento à área hospitalar na graduação e na especialização, com predomínio do setor privado, pode ser um limite ao modelo de atenção previsto no SUS.

RESUMO Objetiva investigar a prevalência de fragilidade em uma população de longevos. Estudo observacional e transversal com idosos acima de 80 anos de um município da região Sul do Brasil. A síndrome da fragilidade foi identificada de acordo com Fried et al. (2001). Entre os 69 idosos, 58% eram frágeis e 42% pré-frágeis, com maior frequência de diminuição de velocidade da marcha, perda de peso e fadiga. É evidente que a fragilidade está instalada em idosos longevos, assim, avaliar e classificar os idosos de acordo com a fragilidade possibilita a organização das prioridades de assistência, com o objetivo de prevenir, manter e/ou restaurar a capacidade funcional.

Aortic stenosis with abnormal eccentric left ventricular remodeling secondary to hypothyroidism in a Bourdeaux Mastiff
Authors: Minozzo Guilherme Augusto , Stedile Simone Tostes de Oliveira , Sousa Marlos Gonçalves
Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT: This paper describes a case of congenital aortic stenosis with eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy associated with hypothyroidism in a 1-year-old Bourdeaux Mastiff dog. The dog had ascites, apathy, alopecic and erythematous skin lesions in different parts of the body. A two-dimensional echocardiogram revealed aortic valve stenosis, with poststenotic dilation in the ascending aorta. The same exam showed eccentric hypertrophy and dilation of the left ventricle during systole and diastole. Aortic stenosis usually results in concentric left ventricular hypertrophy instead of eccentric hypertrophy; and therefore, this finding was very unusual. Hypothyroidism, which is uncommon in young dogs, may be incriminated as the cause of ventricular dilation, making this report even more interesting. Because hypothyroidism would only result in dilatation, the eccentric hypertrophy was attributed to pressure overload caused by aortic stenosis. Thus, cardiac alterations of this case represent a paradoxical association of both diseases.

ABSTRACT: This study was accomplished with the aim to evaluate and to characterize the risks for the presence of Megninia spp. in poultry farms from Minas Gerais, using for that Correspondence Analysis (CA). A secondary database was used and adapted for this study, with information from 402 chicken houses of 42 laying hens commercial properties. Variables used to compose the correspondence model were selected through tests of Qui-square being considered the significant result of P≤0,05. A risk index was built to the presence of Megninia spp. starting from variables considered as risk factors for the presence of those ectoparasites. The CA graph produced for the epidemiological characterization of the presence of Megninia spp. presented an accumulated qui-square value of 58,55%. There was an association of the risk index with the age ranges of the poultry, among the presence Megninia spp. and the use of mineral oil and acaricide in the ration and; finally, an association between the ruddy ground-dove (Columbina talpacoti) presence and the absence of mites of the Megninia genus. The results supply knowledge on the epidemiology of Megninia spp. In addition, these information can contribute in the decision, reducing the risks of possible infestations in poultry farms and the negative effects of that parasitism.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of extractives soluble in hot water, besides final carbonization temperatures, on the gravimetric yield and properties of charcoal for waste of three native forest species from the Amazon region. Waste cuttings of Ipé, Grapia and Maçaranduba species, from the machine processing for joinery of a company in the State of Pará, were used. Carbonization was carried out in an adapted electric furnace with a heating rate of 1.67°C min-1 and final temperatures of 500, 600 and 700°C. The waste was carbonized fresh after extraction in hot water to remove extractives. Gravimetric yields were analyzed, as well as chemical features and high heating value. In the evaluation of the experiment, arranged in a factorial scheme with three factors (species x temperature x material with and without extraction), and Principal Component Analysis used too. The presence of extractives (soluble in hot water) from wood waste had little influence on the gravimetric yield and immediate chemical composition of charcoal; however, it showed a greater high heating value and lower contents of hydrogen and nitrogen. The increase in the final carbonization temperature reduced the gravimetric yield in charcoal, the content of volatile materials and hydrogen, with a higher content of fixed carbon, carbon and high heating value. The treatments with the best energy characteristics were obtained from Ipé and Maçaranduba charcoals with extractives produced at 600°C, in addition to Ipê and Maçaranduba charcoals with and without extractives obtained at 700°C.
