Authors: Oliveira Waléria Finicia de , Pinto Osvaldo Borges 
Published: January 2018

A ocupação eminentemente urbana dos municípios resultou em um incremento da demanda nos diversos usos das águas do rio Cuiabá e consequente aumento das cargas orgânicas, de nutrientes e de coliformes gerados pelos esgotos domésticos. As microbacias hidrográficas, com vegetação natural remanescente, são áreas muito importantes para manter o abastecimento de água de boa qualidade. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar análises microbiológicas da qualidade da água do rio Cuiabá, especificamente no perímetro urbano, a partir de quatro pontos de amostragem, usando os parâmetros microbiológicos, a fim de quantificar Coliformes Totais e Escherichia coli. Foram feitas quatro coletas em pontos aleatórios, uma em 03/11/2014 e as outras três em 22/10/2015. Os resultados obtidos, nas análises feitas com as amostras, apontou como impróprio para o consumo humano, conforme a Resolução nº 357/05 do CONAMA.Palavras-chaves: Qualidade da Água.

O tabagismo é o ato de consumir cigarros, cujo principal componente é a nicotina, um estimulante do sistema nervoso central, que induz à tolerância e à dependência. Na fumaça do cigarro já foram identificadas mais de quatro mil substâncias químicas, sendo que pelo menos 60 dessas são reconhecidamente causadoras de câncer. Além dos malefícios causados à saúde do próprio fumante, a fumaça exalada pelo consumodos derivados do tabaco também é prejudicial para coletividade. O programa de combate ao tabagismo é um importante instrumento para melhoria dos indicadores de saúde, que conta com apoio e aconselhamentos de profissionais adequados para os pacientes, com a finalidade de redução ou abandono do fumo. Dessa forma, pelo conhecimento de que fumar é mais do que um hábito, é um vício, e que traz malefícios grandes, o objetivo desse trabalho se pauta no conhecimento das ações empregadas no Programa Antitabagismo do Ministério da Saúde através de uma revisão bibliográfica de caráter exploratório documental. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de buscas em livros e bases de dados bibliográficas, como SciELO, Bireme, Pubmed, Cochrane, Portal CAPES. Conseguiu-se, desta forma, estabelecer através de análise documental a eficácia e dimensão alcançada desse programa que realmente tem atingido o objetivo a que se propõe.Palavras-chave: Tabagismo. Saúde Pública. Dependência.AbstractSmoking is the act of consuming cigarettes whose main component is nicotine, a central nervous system stimulant that induces tolerance anddependence. In cigarette smoke, more than four thousand chemicals have been identified, and at least 60 of these are known to cause cancer. In addition to the harm caused to the smoker’s own health, the smoke exhaled by the consumption of tobacco products is also detrimental to the community. The tobacco control program is an important tool for improving health indicators that counts on adequate professional support and counseling for patients for the purpose of reducing or quitting smoking. Thus, due to the knowledge that smoking is more than a habit, it is an addiction, and that brings great harm, the objective of this work is based on the knowledge of the actions employed in the Anti-Smoking Program of the Ministry of Health through a bibliographic review of Exploratory documentary character. The research was carried out through searches in books and bibliographic databases, such as SciELO, Bireme, Pubmed, Cochrane, Capes Portal. It was possible to establish, through documentary analysis, the effectiveness and the achieved dimension of this program, and that the goal has relly been achieved.Keywords: Smoking. Public Health.

Authors: Jha Anuja , Joshi Usha , Hishikar Rajesh , Agrawal Manju , Halwai Ajay 
Published: January 2018

Background: As per Indian pharmacopoeia, package inserts are part of a label that provides information on the article. It may be the sole source of information for drugs, which are available in the pharmacies without the prescription and it may include both prescription and over the counter (OTC) drugs. So, to aid in safety and efficacy of these drugs, package inserts must follow the standard guidelines (The Drugs and Cosmetics rule, 1945). The objective of this study was to observe the status of the standard guidelines for package insert in drugs accessible as OTC drugs.Methods: Based on the inquiries made with pharmacies, list of drugs commonly bought without prescription was made. 256 drugs were evaluated. Their package inserts were observed for the extent to which the guidelines given by The Drugs and Cosmetics rule 1945, section 6.2 and 6.3 are being followed. Secondary objectives were made to assess if package inserts are physician friendly or patients friendly.Results: Package inserts were missing in 180 (70%) of the drugs. Therapeutic indications were present in 71% of the available package inserts (76). Pharmaceutical information was given in 57% of the package inserts. English was the preferred language and medicinal terms were used. Only one package insert was patient friendly.Conclusions: Package inserts should be made available in every drug. There should be a separate patient oriented package insert guideline, as per US food and drug administration (FDA), in India as well. This will aid in their safe and effective use.

Authors: D. Nivedita , Anjum Mehvish 
Published: January 2018

Background: Prolonged labour has become a rarity in developed countries, but it still poses a problem in developing countries causing increase in maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. This study is undertaken to assess the efficacy of modified WHO partograph in monitoring progress of labour in primigravidae with spontaneous onset of labour and in patients with active management and to assess whether active management of labour helps in reducing the duration of labour.Methods: In this study, 100 primigravidae partographs are analyzed, 50 patients are in active management group (early amniotomy and use of oxytocin) and 50 patients are in control group (spontaneously).Results: The mean duration of first stage of labour in the study group is 6.73±2 and in the control group is 11.30±4.51hrs( statistically significant p<0.001).Mean duration of second stage of labour in study group is 33.73±28.77mins and in control group is 38±24.98 mins (p<0.079), mean total duration of labour in active group is 7.17±2.64 hr and in control group is 11.76hrs±-4.71hrs ( p<0.001).89% of study group patients had Spontaneous Vaginal Delivery as compared to the 80% in control group (p>0.05 ). Assisted vaginal delivery (vaccum) is found in 6% in the study group and 8% in control group patients (p>0.05). LSCS is found 10% in study group and 8% in control group patients (p>0.05).Conclusions: Active management of labour significantly reduces the mean duration of 1st active stage, 2nd stage and total duration of labour, but does not decrease the rate of the caesarean section.

Published: January 2018

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Traditional risk factors like elevated homocysteine levels may not completely explain the higher CVD seen in RTRs. Identification and optimisation of modifiable risk factors may help to reduce the occurrence of CVD in such population. To study the role of homocysteine level as risk factor in the occurrence of cardiovascular events in renal transplant patients. Another objective was to evaluate the other risk factors in the occurrence of CVD in such population.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> Thirty renal transplant recipients and thirty healthy controls were studied. Inclusion criteria were transplant duration &gt;6 months and patients with chronic stable renal function over the last 3 months.

Of the 30 patients, 6 patients (20%) had evidence of cardiovascular event. In the absence of other conventional factors, age of the patient, creatinine clearance (index of graft function) and mean intima-media thickness were more closely related with cardiovascular events. </p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Plasma homocysteine failed to show as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events. New, emerging cardiovascular risk factors (e.g. Lipoprotein (a), high sensitivity C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, tissue plasminogen activator and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1) should be studied to design effective therapy to delay the progression of atherosclerosis and prolong the life of renal transplant recipients.</p>

Authors: A. Chitra , G. M. Sakthimarieswari , S. Kaleeswaran , V. R. Indhira , Pathiyil Mythili Menon , . Shreyavarshini 
Published: January 2018

Background: Transgender people are those who by definition, have a gender identity or gender expression that differs from their assigned sex at birth. The Government of Tamil Nadu was the first Indian state to pioneer welfare schemes for transgenders such as formation of transgender welfare board, creation of a third column for gender in college application forms. The study aims to assess the discrimination faced by the transgenders in health care facilities. Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out among 50 transgenders using a self-administered questionnaire. Results: Among 47 responendents, 17.6% of the transgenders had delayed going to hospital fearing discrimination. Harassment either in physical or verbal form experienced by 41.2% and 37.5% faced discrimination in form of judgemental looks or comments, while 5.9% of the transgenders were denied treatment altogether in the hospital. Denial of equal treatment experienced by 52.9% of the study participants. Conclusions: The study highlights that transgenders even today face considerable discrimination which refrains them from assessing health care facilities. Even though we in Tamil Nadu have pioneered with the formation of transgender board, free sex re-assignment surgery in government health care facilities, the utilisation by the transgenders are far from behind. This may be attributed due to the discrimination faced by the transgenders.

A Alomorfia dos nomes Agentivos terminados em -Dor/-Or em Português
Authors: Madruga Magnun Rochel 
Published: January 2018

Este trabalho discute a múltipla alomorfia presente na formação de nomes agentivos em português com terminações em dor, or, tor, sor, zor. A alomorfia dos agentivos é uma questão aberta na literatura e os trabalhos desenvolvidos preocuparam-se com as questões semânticas e aspectuais. Para tratar da alomorfia em específico, elaborou-se um experimento em que 15 participantes tinha de gera um novo agentivo a partir de logatomas verbais em suas formas infintivas e de particípio apresentados em uma sentença. Os resultados sugerem que a formação de nomes agentivos tem como base uma raiz e o tema verbal. Quando -dor é concatenado ao tema verbal o alomorfe –dor é superficializado; quando -dor é adjungido à raiz, este, em função do Princípio do Contorno Obrigatório, superficializa-se como -or. À luz da Morfologia Distribuída, propõe-se que os sufixos alomorfes desse tipo de agentivos em português sejam apenas -dor e -or.
Me segura

Nesse ensaio proponho uma leitura livros em que o processo de montagem/feitura é um dos elementos fundamentais para a compreensão de suas respectivas poéticas. Em um primeiro momento, analiso a imagem do “sol quadrado” em Grapefruit de Yoko Ono. A partir dessa imagem, mas em outro contexto, aproximo esse livro de Me segura que eu vou dar um troço de Waly Salomão. Em ambos os casos, penso como esses dois livros, através mesmo do processo de montagem/feitura, solicitam a participação do leitor/a. Para isso, dialogo com Michel Melot, Roland Barthes, a prática artística de Hélio Oiticica, a cinematográfica de Jean-Luc Godard e, sobretudo, com as reflexões de Charles Baudelaire na introdução de Pequenos poemas em prosa. Imagino, assim, a ideia de lançamento como um gesto coletivo em que autor/a e leitora se lançam na criação de experiências mais comunais. Palavras-chave: livro, montagem, leitura.
Apresentação

Desde a sua origem moderna – a instigante aventura de Montaigne –, o ensaio habilita um espaço discursivo de caráter experimental no qual o sujeito se põe em jogo na deriva de uma escrita provisional, assistemática e descontínua, que prescinde do direcionamento do plano prévio e das certezas conclusivas. Essa disposição experimental liberta o ensaio das grades classificatórias dos gêneros literários e dos saberes disciplinares, propiciando a configuração de textualidades de fronteiras permeáveis que corroem as convenções discursivas. Se na atualidade o domínio da literatura perdeu a nitidez de suas demarcações e se expande em direção de outros discursos e linguagens, colocando em questão a sua especificidade e autonomia, consideramos oportuno revisitar a escrita ensaística como prática de exploração liminar que desestabiliza as formas institucionalizadas da literatura. Esse propósito norteou a organização deste dossiê da revista Remate de Males a qual reúne um conjunto de artigos voltados para o estudo do ensaio e as escritas liminares de diversas literaturas (brasileira, hispano-americana, inglesa, alemã, francesa, espanhola, canadense) e épocas (do século XVIII à atualidade). Essa linha de indagação projeta-se, ainda, em alguns dos artigos avulsos, em duas resenhas e em uma entrevista que completam o volume.
Delayed Presentation of Compartment Syndrome of the Thigh in a Previously Undiagnosed Factor VII-Deficient High School Football Athlete
Authors: McQuerry Jessica L. , Burnham Jeremy M. , Ireland Mary Lloyd , Wright Raymond D. 
Published: January 2018

Case:
We describe a case of delayed presentation of compartment syndrome in the anterior aspect of the thigh in a high school athlete. The patient had sustained a blow to the thigh 8 days prior to presentation, and had continued to practice football in the setting of undiagnosed coagulopathy. He presented with severe thigh pain and the inability to contract the thigh muscles.

Conclusion:
A high index of suspicion for compartment syndrome is indicated for patients with disproportionate pain, especially in the setting of relatively minor trauma. Underlying coagulopathy should be investigated in patients with compartment syndrome because there is a high incidence of bleeding disorders in this population.

<p>Produksi dan produktivitas tanaman kentang menjadi salah satu yang terdampak oleh kenaikan suhu akibat pemanasan global. Untuk itu, diperlukan upaya adaptasi budidaya dengan penggunaan kultivar yang toleran terhadap suhu tinggi. Penelitian untuk melihat toleransi tanaman kentang terhadap suhu tinggi telah dilakukan di dataran medium Majalengka (550 m dpl), pada bulan September sampai November 2014. Sepuluh klon, yaitu Klon 1 (397077.16), Klon 2 (397073.7), Klon 3 (392781.1), Klon 4 (391846.5), Klon 5 (395195.7), Klon 6 (394613.139), Granola, Atlantik, Merbabu-17 dan Tenggo, ditanam menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok, 3 kali ulangan, dengan sistem <em>doble row</em>. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan Klon 5 toleran terhadap suhu tinggi di dataran medium Majalengka dan mampu berproduksi dengan baik, ditunjukkan dengan rerata produksi ubi yang mencapai 430 gram per tanaman, rerata jumlah ubi 8,70 ubi per tanaman dan perkiraan hasil yang mencapai 19,37 ton per hektar. Klon 5 ini memiliki keunikan dibandingkan klon-klon lainnya pada karakter batang yang berwarna hijau keunguan, ubi berbentuk oval memanjang dengan kulit dan daging yang berwarna putih. Berdasarkan keunggulan yang dimiliki oleh Klon 5 di pengujian ini, maka Klon 5 dapat direkomendasikan sebagai klon unggul di dataran medium dan dapat dimanfaatkan dalam program pemuliaan tanaman kentang untuk tujuan ketahanan terhadap suhu tinggi.</p><p> </p>
