title: Evaluation of the Bleeding Intensity of Patients Anticoagulated with Warfarin or Dabigatran Undergoing Dental Procedures

description: Abstract Background: Thrombotic disorders remain one of the leading causes of death in the Western world. Dabigatran appeared as an alternative to warfarin for anticoagulation in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). The risk associated with bleeding due to its use has been documented in several randomized clinical trials, but no large study has examined in detail the risk of bleeding during dental extraction and other dental procedures involving bleeding. Objective: To compare the intensity of bleeding in individuals taking dabigatran or vitamin K antagonist (warfarin) and undergoing dental procedures. Methods: Prospective, single-center, controlled study with one single observer. Patients diagnosed with nonvalvular AF, on warfarin or dabigatran, cared for at a cardiology referral center, and requiring single or multiple dental extractions, were evaluated up to seven days post-extraction. The following outcomes were assessed: bleeding time between the beginning and the end of suture and complete hemostasis; bleeding before the procedure, after 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, during and after suture removal (late); p&lt;0.05 was defined as of statistical relevance. Results: We evaluated 37 individuals, 25 in the warfarin group and 12 in the dabigatran group. Age, sex, weight, height, blood pressure, color, schooling, family income and comorbidities were similar between the two groups. Regarding bleeding after 24 hours of the procedure, no one in the dabigatran group had bleeding, whereas 32% in the warfarin group had documented bleeding (p = 0.028). The other variables analyzed did not differ between the groups. Conclusions: This study suggests that, regarding dental extraction, there is no statistically significant difference in the intensity of bleeding of patients taking dabigatran as compared to those taking warfarin. Bleeding 24 hours after the procedure was less frequent among patients on dabigatran.

title: Mammals recorded in isolated remnants of Atlantic Forest in southern Goiás, Brazil

description: Abstract: Habitat fragmentation is one of the principal causes of the decline of species worldwide, and the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and Cerrado savanna biomes are among the most severely affected by this process. While highly fragmented, remnants of Atlantic Forest can still be found within the Cerrado domain of southern Goiás, where previous studies have revealed high levels of biodiversity. To inventory the mammalian species that occur in the region, two fragments of semideciduous Atlantic Forest were sampled between 2011 and 2016, using line transect surveys and camera trapping. A total of 1016 records were obtained of 30 mammal species, of which eleven are under some threat of extinction. The species richness recorded on this study was similar to or higher than the values reported from other areas of Goiás, which reinforces the importance of the maintenance of these remnants, located in private properties, for the conservation of the region's mammals.

title: Qualitative aspects of ruptures and thinnings of Descemet's membrane in histopathological examination

description: Abstract Objective: To describe the different types of ruptures and thinning of Descemet's membrane found in the histopathological examination, questioning a possible relationship between them. Methods: Observational, transversal, retrospective and descriptive study of corneal buttons from penetrating keratoplasty during the randomly chosen period of four years: 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2015. The staining was performed with hematoxylin-eosin (HE). After preparation, the authors examined the tissues with an optical microscope. We selected only the cases of rupture or thinning of Descemet's membrane in histopathological examination and classified the different types of these findings. Results: The ruptures found were classified as total or common, partial, fracture and bevel. The thinnings were divided into generalized, localized and extensive. Conclusion: We presented several nuances of Descemet's membrane ruptures and thinning in histopathological examination. Considering only mechanical aspects, the findings suggest a possible relationship between thinning and rupture as cause and effect.

title: Profile of Graduates of the Medical Residency in General Surgery of a University in São Paulo

description: ABSTRACT The study aimed to characterize the profile of graduates of the Medical Residency Program in General Surgery of the University of Ribeirão Preto (SP). METHOD This a descriptive, transversal, quantitative approach. Twenty-six graduates of the Medical Residency Program in General Surgery of the University of Ribeirão Preto, from the years 2005 to 2014, participated in the survey. Data were collected from March to August 2015, using two self-reporting questionnaires. The first was divided into two sections: identification, and employment status (areas of practice, number and type of jobs, and salary). The second questionnaire contained statements about the residency program, related to human, technical and professional dimensions of the training in general surgery. RESULTS Overall, the graduates were satisfied with the training in general surgery offered by the institution. Most of the graduates were male, single, and Brazilian. All of the participants had completed the residency in general surgery in two years, and had worked in the area of surgery. Some of them had also exercised another activity in the medical field, besides surgery. Over 80% of the graduates had studied or attended a surgical subspecialty, mainly in the state of São Paulo. The average monthly income of most of the graduates, derived from medical work, was between ten and twenty national minimum wages, while income derived exclusively from activity as a surgeon was up to up to ten minimum salaries. The analysis of the human dimensions revealed that the majority of the graduates were satisfied with the program. Regarding the technical dimension, it was observed that half of the participants were satisfied with the theoretical program, while 76.9% were satisfied with the amount of surgical practice they had been given. Concerning the professional dimension, 24 (92.4%) disagreed that the training in general surgery was too long, and reported a concern that the specialty had become obsolete. CONCLUSION The results provide important support for discussion within the Institution itself, and in other educational institutions that offer medical residencies in General Surgery. It is also worth noting that the country is currently going through a time of reflection, in which medical training and specialization are at the heart of the debates of the Ministries of Education and Health, and teaching institutions, and these debates should be expanded to the society. Thus, it is imperative to evaluate residency programs so that improvement and correction measures can be considered and implemented.

title: Motor development’s curves of premature infants on the first year of life according to Alberta Infant Motor Scale

description: Abstract Introduction: The motor trajectory of pre-term children is an important indicator of health during infancy, since alterations may be a signal for the need of professional intervention. Objective: To describe percentiles and motor development curves for Brazilian preterm infants in the first year of life, determining the reference values for categorization of motor performance assessed by the AIMS. Methods: Participated in this cross-sectional study 976 children born pre-term, newly-born to 12 months of corrected age. The Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) was used to assess participants’ motor development. The scores of the Brazilian norms were used as comparison criteria. Results: Children born pre-term showed lower scores compared to children born full-term indicating the need for a specific percentile curve for that population. The scores differentiated at P1 to P99 percentiles allowing for the categorization of children with typical development, at risk and with atypical development. At 0, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 months an overlapping of extreme percentiles (P1, P5 and P10; P90, P95 and P99) was observed, but not in the other percentiles. Conclusion: The percentiles described indicate that preterm children presented lower motor performance than full-term children and AIMS has discriminant power for the clinical evaluation of these children. The developmental curves showed lower capacity for behavioral differentiation in the extreme percentiles.

title: Yield performance of apple rootstocks of the Geneva series on replanting soil

description: Abstract: The objective of this work was to identify rootstocks with competitive agronomic potential to substitute those currently used in Southern Brazil for the Galaxy and Fuji Suprema apple scion cultivars cultivated on replanting soils. The experiment was carried out in the municipality of Lebon Regis, in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, from the 2009/2010 to the 2014/2015 crop season, in a randomized complete block design, with four replicates. The yield performance of the 'Galaxy' and 'Fuji Suprema' scions grafted on the G.056, G.202, G.213, G.814, G.896, G.969, M.9, and Marubakaido/M.9 rootstocks was evaluated. G.896 and G.814 stood out due to their superior annual and cumulative fruit yields, as well as to their greater yield regularity, although they showed lower ability of dwarfing the scion. The greatest average fruit weight of 'Galaxy' was obtained on G.056 and G.213. For 'Fuji Suprema', G.969 promoted smaller fruits, whereas the other rootstocks did not differ. All the evaluated rootstocks produced less suckers than Marubakaido/M.9 and less burrknots than M.9 and Marubakaido/M.9. In general, on replanting soil conditions, G.202 is promising among dwarfing rootstocks, mainly for 'Fuji Suprema'. G.056, G.814, and G.896 also stand out, and the two first are more specific for 'Fuji Suprema'.

title: Comparison of intraocular pressure measurements between Icare PRO Tonometer, Goldmann Applanation Tonometer and non-contact tonometer in healthy and glaucomatous eyes

description: Abstract Purpose: To validate the comparative measurements of intraocular pressure performed with IcarePRO tonometer (IPT) in relation to Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) and non-contact tonometer (NCT), as well as to evaluate the influence of central corneal thickness (CCT) on these values. Methods: This was a prospective and comparative study conducted during 6 months in the Department of Ophthalmology, Hospital de Braga, Portugal. The study population comprised two groups: healthy adults and adults with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). The IOP values were obtained by the three tonometers and the order of execution was randomly selected. CCT values were obtained by ultrasonic pachymetry. Results: A total of 168 eyes (74 with diagnosis of POAG and 94 healthy) of 84 patients were included in this study. The mean IOP values obtained by IPT, GAT and NCT were 17.36±3.78 mmHg; 14.59±3.32 mmHg; and 17.04±4.01 mmHg, respectively. The comparison between IPT and NCT did not reveal statistically significant differences in the two groups studied. However, statistically significant differences were obtained between IPT and GAT values (p &lt;0.001). The IOP values, recorded by all the tonometers, were significantly and positivily correlated with the CCT (p &lt;0.001). Conclusion: IOP readings measured by IPT are comparable with those obtained by NCT, but higher than those obtained by the GAT. CCT values are correlated with IOP measurements with IPT, as it does in GAT and NCT, and should be always taken into consideration.
