title: Ingestion of a moderate dose of alcohol enhances physical exercise-induced changes in blood lactate concentration

description: The consumption of alcoholic beverages influences carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, although it is not yet clear whether metabolism during physical exercise at different intensities is also affected. This was the objective of the present study. Eight young and healthy volunteers performed a treadmill test to identify the running speed corresponding to a lactate concentration of 4 mM (S4mM). At least 48 h later, they were subjected to two experimental trials (non-alcohol or alcohol) in which they performed two 1-km running sessions at the following intensities: 1) S4mM; 2) 15% above S4mM. In both trials, blood lactate, triglycerides, and glucose concentrations were measured before and after exercise. The acute alcohol intake increased triglycerides, but not lactate concentration under resting conditions. Interestingly, alcohol intake enhanced the exercise-induced increase in lactate concentration at the two intensities: S4mM (non-alcohol: 4.2±0.3 mM vs alcohol: 4.8±0.9 mM; P=0.003) and 15% above S4mM trial (P=0.004). When volunteers ingested alcohol, triglycerides concentration remained increased after treadmill running (e.g., at S4mM - at rest; non-alcohol: 0.2±0.5 mM vs alcohol: 1.3±1.3 mM; P=0.048). In contrast, glucose concentration was not modified by either alcohol intake, exercise, or their combination. We concluded that an acute alcohol intake changed lactate and lipid metabolism without affecting blood glucose concentration. In addition, the increase in lactate concentration caused by alcohol was specifically observed when individuals exercised, whereas augmented triglycerides concentration was already observed before exercise and was sustained thereafter.

title: Aortic thrombosis in a dog with chronic lymphocytic leukemia

description: ABSTRACT: The aim of this report was to describe a case of aortic thrombosis (AT) secondary to chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Although, different types of neoplasms are described as possible causes of aortic thrombosis, CLL was not yet considered. The dog showed signs of lameness that worsened with exercise. The diagnosis of AT was made by ultrasound examination. The diagnosis of CLL was made by necropsy, which showed the presence of small lymphocytes with the appearance of mature lymphocytes in the bone marrow, spleen, liver and kidneys. The importance of including CLL in the possible causes of AT in dogs, in addition to the suspicion of AT in cases of neuromuscular disease, was highlighted.

title: Meeting the complex challenge of health and social care provision for rapidly-ageing populations: introducing the concept of “avoidable displacement from home”

description: Abstract: The increasing numbers of people at very old ages pose specific policy challenges for health and social care and highlight the need to rethink established models of service provision. The main objective of this paper is to introduce the concept of “avoidable displacement from home” (ADH). The study argues that ADH builds on and adds value to existing concepts, offering a holistic, person-centered framework for integrated health and social care provision for older people. It also demonstrates that this framework can be applied across different levels, ranging from macro policymaking to organizational and individual decision-making. The paper pays attention to the Brazilian context but argues that ADH is a universally applicable concept.

title: Maturation, morphological, motor and technical characteristics of under 16 female track and field athletes

description: Abstract There is growing interest in identifying morphological, motor, maturation characteristics, as well as their changes, of children and adolescents in systematized training in various sports. Knowledge of these characteristics is important for coaches and researchers because they provide parameters for assessing youth development during training. For track and field, studies on the category under 16 are scarce. Thus, the objectives of this study are to describe the profile and to design a percentile table of morphological, motor, maturation and event-specific variables of under 16 athletes. 105 young athletes were evaluated on two consecutive days. On the first day, an anamnesis of athletes and coaches was performed. Anthropometric and anaerobic measurements were analyzed in shot put, long jump, 800 m run. On the second day, flexibility, vertical impulse, upper limb strength, speed and maximal aerobic speed were evaluated. The biological maturation was evaluated by the percentage of the predicted height. A table with percentiles was prepared with the data of all athletes. Another table with the results of the whole group plus mean and standard deviation was prepared. A last table was prepared containing data divided by group of sports events. The morphological variables presented differences between the groups as to body mass, BMI and sum of skinfolds. Significant differences were observed only for the motor variable VMA. No significant differences were observed only for long jump. When divided by groups, it was evident that throwers are different from the other athletes in some morphologic variables and in specific sports events.

title: Evaluation of the effects of coconut fiber and microcellulose crystalline on the properties of cementitious mortars

description: ABSTRACT The cementitious materials are the most used worldwide, in civil construction. Faced with this, research is needed to improve both its mechanical performance and its sustainable development. An alternative that seeks these improvements is the addition of materials of vegetable origin, such as coconut fiber and microcellulose crystalline. Therefore, the objective of the present work was to evaluate the influence of additions of coconut fiber (CF) and microcellulose crystalline (MCC) on the physical and mechanical properties of cementitious mortars. For a better delineation of the research, it was divided into three phases: characterization of the materials; analysis of mortars with additions of CF and mortars with MCC additions; analysis of mortars with additions of CF and MCC simultaneously. The following tests were performed: consistency index,compressive strength, flexural tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, water absorption, void index, specific mass, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). The results show that the incorporations of CF and MCC in contents above 0.2CF and 0.3MCC significantly improve the performance of mortars in terms of tensile strength in flexion, however do not contribute positively to the other mechanical properties of mortars, but without significant damage to its use. Studies of mortars with longterm CF and MCC are recommended to verify if mechanical properties undergo significant influences withage.

title: Collapsing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis probably triggered by dengue virus infection - two case reports

description: Abstract The reported cases describe the association between collapsing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and acute dengue virus infection. In both cases, patients were diagnosed with dengue virus infection and had a severe kidney disease, with nephrotic syndrome and acute kidney injury. Kidney biopsy was performed and showed collapsing FSGS. The first patient, a 27-year-old man, was diagnosed with dengue virus infection and developed nephrotic syndrome after two weeks of illness. He was treated with methylprednisolone for three days and intravenous furosemide. This patient evolved well, although his renal function did not fully recover. The second patient, a 32-year-old man, was diagnosed with a milder clinical presentation of dengue virus infection. He had a past medical history of nephrotic syndrome in childhood, which might have caused its relapse. This patient was treated with intravenous furosemide and also did not fully recover renal function. These cases highlight the possible implication of dengue virus infection in the etiology of collapsing variant of FSGS. Healthcare professionals should be prepared to identify similar cases.

title: Physical fitness test performance probability with increasing age: suggestions for practical applications in military physical training

description: Abstract This article analyzes the Physical Fitness Test (PFT) which is performed by the Brazilian Navy to check the physical parameters of its military members in order to present the performance of probabilities with increasing age. We analyzed 702 PFT data in this study, separated into three groups based on the age of those assessed by the PFT, as follows: young adults (YA, n=91, age range between 20-30 years), adults (A, n=243, age range between 30-40 years) and mature adults (MA, n=368, age range between 40-50 years old). PFT measurements were: Body Mass Index (BMI), 100 m freestyle swimming, 3,200 m running, 1 min sit-ups, Pull-up on the bar and Push-up test. The main results indicated significant differences between groups when compared Body mass (YA: 79.1±11.4kg and A: 82.1±14kg &lt; MA: 84.1±12.3kg), BMI (YA: 25.4±2.9 &lt; A: 26.4±4.3 &lt; MA: 27.5±4),Pull-ups (YA: 10.8±4.6 freq./min &lt; A: 10±3.6 freq./min &lt; MA: 8.5±4.7 freq./min), 3,200 m running time (YA: 1282,1±172,4s &lt; A: 1421±199.8s &lt; MA: 1566.7±192.4s) and 100 m swimming time (YA: 140.1±45.6s &lt; A: 149.7±37.9s &lt; MA: 180.8±50s) and the regression analysis demonstrated that 3,200 m running and pull-ups were the most affected variable of aging process (p&lt;0.05). In summary, it is possible to carry out a practical application, considering aging process and the decline of the aerobic capacity and the upper limbs strength-power in Military Physical Training.

title: Changes in tactical behavior during small-sided and conditioned games performed within a training session

description: Abstract This study aimed to verify the acute effects of 3vs.3 soccer small-sided and conditioned games (SSCG) on the tactical behavior of youth soccer athletes within one training session. Twenty-four soccer athletes (U-13 and U-14 categories) from a professional club participated in the study. They played four 4-minute 3vs.3 SSCG with 4 minutes of passive recovery in-between. All SSCG were recorded and players’ tactical behavior was analyzed using the System of Tactical Assessment in Soccer. We compared the frequencies and percentages of successful tactical principles over the four 3vs.3 SSCG bouts performed within the training session. Results showed an increased number of defensive unity actions (p= 0.005; large effect size) and a higher percentage of successful defensive principles (p&lt;0.001; moderate effect size) in the fourth bout. We can conclude that players’ tactical behaviors change over the SSCG bouts performed within one training session. This suggests that players adapt their tactical behavior according to the tactical problems presented in the SSCG performed within the training session. We can suggest that the long-term improvement in the tactical skills of soccer athletes may be based on these small acute changes in tactical behavior observed in each training session.

title: CRITICAL VS ESTIMATED HEART RATE IN ELDERLY SUBJECTS

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: Heart rate (HR) has been a simple and easy-to-use physiological parameter widely used to determine exercise intensity. The critical power fatigue limit model, known as the critical heart rate (CHR), can be extrapolated to HR. However, an estimate for a CHR mathematical model has not yet been extrapolated for upper limb exercise in the elderly. Objective: To compare the mathematical model previously used to estimate CHR with the heart rate values at the critical power (CP) during arm-ergometer exercises in elderly subjects. Methods: After an initial maximum-incremental exercise test on a cycle arm-ergometer, seven elderly people performed four high-intensity constant-load tests to the limit of tolerance (Tlim), to determine CP and critical heart rate (CHR). For each power output, the heart rate of the last five seconds (HRlim) and total time to exhaustion (in minutes) were obtained. The slope coefficients of the regression lines between HRlim and Tlim were defined as CHR, and between Wlim and Tlim as CP. A square-wave test was performed on a different day, in the power determined as equivalent to CP, and the heart rate at CP (CPHR) was assessed. Results: The HR-Tlim relationship was found to be hyperbolic in all subjects, who were able to sustain upper-limb exercise at CP for 20 min. CP attained 66.8±9.4% of peak work rate in the ramp test. The real average HR measured in the CP test was strikingly similar to the CHR calculated by the mathematical model of PC (137.6±16.9 versus 139.7±13.3bpm, respectively, p=0.53). There was strong correlation between the real and the estimated CHR. Conclusion: This study indicated that the maximal sustainable exercise intensity can be based on a physiological variable such as HR, and the CHR test can define exercise endurance, which can be useful in performance assessment and training prescription.
