title: Prevalence of small for gestational age newborns and associated factors in a Brazilian Northeast capital

description: Abstract Objectives: to analyze the factors associated with the birth of small for gestational age (SGA)infants, in a Northeastern Brazilian capital. Methods: a cross-sectional study was carried out with 331 pregnant women and their newborns attending the public health network in the city of Maceió, in 2014. Maternal antenatal data were collected (socioeconomic, lifestyle, clinical and nutritional) as well as data of the newborns (gestational age, mode of delivery, sex, birth weight and length), after delivery. Birth weight was classified according to the INTERGROWTH-21st curves, being considered SGA those below the 10th percentile according to gestational age and gender. The results were analyzed by Poisson regression using a hierarchical model and were expressed as prevalence ratios (PR) and their respective 95% confidence intervals (CI95%). Results: it was verified that 5.1% of the newborns were SGA. Regarding the associated factors, after adjustment of the hierarchical model, the variable working outside the home was associated with the endpoint studied [PR = 0.14; (CI95% = 0.02-0.75); p=0.022]. Conclusions: it was verified a low frequency of SGA infants in the evaluated population. The fact that the mother works outside the home proved to be a protective factor for this condition.

title: INTER- AND INTRA-OBSERVER AGREEMENT IN THE MILCH AND WEISS SYSTEMS

description: ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study is to estimate the inter- and intra-observer agreement of the Weiss and Milch classification systems in radiological studies of fractures of the lateral humeral condyle in pediatric patients. Methods: An agreement study was performed with non-probability sampling of consecutive cases with a sample size of a hundred radiological studies, which were evaluated by three experienced orthopedic surgeons and three resident physicians; following a thorough comparison of both inter- and intra-observer agreements over a six-week period based on the Fleiss’ kappa, which was used to determine the inter- and intra-observer agreement rates of both classifications. Results: The overall reliability of the entire group of evaluators for the Milch classification in the inter-observer evaluation was κ = 0.13, 95% CI, 0.08-0.18, and the intra-observer evaluation was κ = 0.08, 95% CI, 0.06-0.11. For the Weiss classification, the overall evaluation had an inter-observer agreement of κ = 0.53, 95% CI, 0.50-0.57, and an intra-observer agreement of κ = 0.22, 95% CI, 0.20 −0.24. Conclusion: In the present study, the Weiss classification system demonstrated greater agreement than the Milch classification; however, the latter may require complementary studies, such as an arthrography to enhance classification accuracy. Level of Evidence II, Diagnostic Studies - Investigating Diagnostic Examination.

title: In search of a new Eden in the twentieth century: the Portuguese and the establishment of naturist colonies in Brazil

description: Abstract This article is part of a project that is studying the beginnings of vegetarianism and naturism in Portugal. It contextualizes the connection between the two realities, then ascertains how widely naturist ideas were spread in Brazil, especially in the Pará region, through the establishment of a short-lived naturist colony in Boim (on the Tapajós river) and the abortive plans to create one on the outskirts of Belém. Other efforts to spread vegetarian and naturist ideas included the importing of Portuguese magazines and books and the founding of vegetarian and naturist societies in different Brazilian towns and cities. It is therefore important to problematize and interpret these paths through unpublished sources.

title: Production of self-compacting concrete incorporated with red clay industry waste

description: ABSTRACT In recent years, there has been an increasing use of mineral additions in the production of Portland cement and concrete in order to improve the physical, mechanical and durability properties of these materials, in addition to economic and environmental benefits as these additions are generally industrial waste or byproducts. Whereas the red clay industry in Brazil generates a high amount of waste from the production process, there is an environmental liability and higher costs related to such waste. An alternative utilization is its incorporation as a mineral addition in the production of Portland cement and concrete. Thus, the present study evaluates the use of red clay industry waste in the production of self-compacting concrete. Besides the self-compacting properties in fresh state, physical and mechanical properties were evaluated in the hardened state. The results show that the material has a great potential for use in the production of self-compacting concrete, including those of high strength.

title: Narratives of injured motorcyclists regarding risks and the various means of transport

description: In this article, the objective was understand the representations of motorcyclists that suffered a traffic accident about the risks as well as the various means of transportation. The qualitative approach was based on the notions proposed by Giami, using the psychosocial frame of the Social Representations. We interviewed 16 motorcyclists injured in traffic accidents in Belo Horizonte-MG/Brazil, that were cared for at a referral hospital for trauma. Results show that everyday experiences, the attributes observed in vehicles and above all, involvement in traffic accidents are used as a framework to represent transport as “safe” or “unsafe”. The balance between the advantages and disadvantages presented by the vehicles are basic to predict the option for this or that kind of vehicle. Although the motorcycle is considered an unsafe vehicle, its use is defended by the interviewees who continue to imagine themselves untouchable.

title: Microbial characterization and diversity of artisanal Ranchero cheese with emphasis in Lactococcus strains

description: Abstract The aim of this work is to characterize the natural microflora of artisanal Ranchero cheese and to identify Lactococcus isolates. Ten artisanal Ranchero cheese samples made with raw milk were obtained from local producers located in different geographical areas. Aerobic mesophilic, Staphylococci, Psychrophilic , total coliforms, molds, yeast and, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) (Lactococcus , Streptococcus mesophilic and thermophilic, Lactobacillus , Enterococcus, Leuconostoc) were numbered through agar plating. LAB isolates were classified by genus. Then, nineteen randomly selected presumptive Lactococcus isolates were assigned to specie by PCR amplification and DNA sequence. A high number of aerobic mesophilic Staphylococci, Psychrophilic, total coliforms, molds, and yeast were found. Lactococci, mesophilic and thermophilic Streptococci and Lactobacilli were the dominant LAB. Enterococci and Leuconostoc were also present. The isolates were identified as L. lactis subsp. lactis and L. garvieae . And both were found to be the dominant Lactococcus species that could be selected and used in a starter culture. Sanitation deficiencies in the production of artisanal Ranchero cheese were evident, which may translate into being a potential consumers health risk factor.

title: Multidimensional effects of voice therapy in patients affected by unilateral vocal fold paralysis due to cancer

description: Abstract Introduction: Patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis may demonstrate different degrees of voice perturbation depending on the position of the paralyzed vocal fold. Understanding the effectiveness of voice therapy in this population may be an important coefficient to define the therapeutic approach. Objective: To evaluate the voice therapy effectiveness in the short, medium and long-term in patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis and determine the risk factors for voice rehabilitation failure. Methods: Prospective study with 61 patients affected by unilateral vocal fold paralysis enrolled. Each subject had voice therapy with an experienced speech pathologist twice a week. A multidimensional assessment protocol was used pre-treatment and in three different times after voice treatment initiation: short-term (1-3 months), medium-term (4-6 months) and long-term (12 months); it included videoendoscopy, maximum phonation time, GRBASI scale, acoustic voice analysis and the portuguese version of the voice handicap index. Results: Multiple comparisons for GRBASI scale and VHI revealed statistically significant differences, except between medium and long term (p &lt; 0.005). The data suggest that there is vocal improvement over time with stabilization results after 6 months (medium term). From the 28 patients with permanent unilateral vocal fold paralysis, 18 (69.2%) reached complete glottal closure following vocal therapy (p = 0.001). The logistic regression method indicated that the Jitter entered the final model as a risk factor for partial improvement. For every unit of increased Jitter, there was an increase of 0.1% (1.001) of the chance for partial improvement, which means an increase on no full improvement chance during rehabilitation. Conclusion: Vocal rehabilitation improves perceptual and acoustic voice parameters and voice handicap index, besides favor glottal closure in patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis. The results were also permanent during the period of 1 year. The Jitter value, when elevated, is a risk factor for the voice therapy success.

title: Microconcrete of high performance: properties and behavior under combined compression and one-axis bending

description: ABSTRACT The high-performance microconcrete is a material that has reduced maximum characteristic dimension aggregate and low water / cement ratio (w/c). In order to verify the applicability in structural elements, the behavior of the material and of a pillar executed with high performance microconcrete were studied. As reference, another concrete with the same proportions of materials was studied, only varying the maximum size of the aggregate. The fresh state, mechanical and durability properties of the materials were evaluated. As for the pillars, they were subjected to a project situation of combined compression and one-axis bending. Considering the columns, in order to obtain the horizontal displacements, deformations in the compressed face of the concrete and the strain in the bars, these columns were instrumented by means of strain gages, comparator watches and Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT); The apertures of cracks were also monitored by means of atomic brush marking. As for the properties in the fresh state, mechanical and durability, it was verified that the microconcrete had better performance in relation to the reference concrete that was attributed to the best properties of the interfacial transition zone. The microconcrete column ruptured by crushing concrete from the compressed face in the intermediate region of the column. The conventional concrete column broke in a section above the intermediate one, and the rupture was characterized by the displacement of the concrete in two adjacent shaped faces, suggesting a rupture by oblique combined bending. The results obtained were compared with the results obtained by the software Esbelt 2.1, which considers the modulus of elasticity according to the standard NBR 6118 (ABNT, 2003). At the end, it was possible to observe the best behavior of the microconcrete column in relation to the conventional concrete column, in terms of greater rigidity, suggesting applicability of the microconcrete in structural elements like precasting elements with thin cross-sections.
