title: PREVALENCE OF CARDIOGRAPHIC FINDINGS IN PRE-PARTICIPATION ASSESSMENTS OF A PROFESSIONAL SOCCER CLUB

description: ABSTRACT Objectives: To analyze the results of pre-participation tests applied to soccer players from a professional club, aiming to compare the cardiographic findings with the literature and encourage the development of new strategies for the prevention of sudden death. Methods: We used a sample group of 110 male soccer players. Stages of the study: 1) collection of data from the pre-participation tests (cardiac history, electrocardiogram, exercise test and echocardiogram) using a form covering three years (2015 to 2017); 2) tabulation of data using Word and Excel Office 2010 software; 3) comparison with the literature. Results: Of the athletes studied, 55.5% had sinus bradycardia and 14.5% had ventricular repolarization abnormalities, 33.3% showed evidence of minimal tricuspid regurgitation, and 45.7% had physiological pulmonary regurgitation. The echocardiogram presented some interesting data when compared to the adult non-athlete population. In the ergometric test, 53.6% of the athletes reached the maximum stage and 46.4% discontinued the test due to physical fatigue. Regarding arrhythmias, in 21.8% of the patients we observed rare isolated ventricular extrasystoles and in 8.2% rare isolated supraventricular extrasystoles. Conclusion: The findings corroborate data from the literature on exercise and sports cardiology, since they mainly represent physiological adaptations of the athlete's heart. The sports physician is responsible for monitoring athletes to prevent sudden death. Level of Evidence II; Retrospective study.

title: An estimate of the underreporting of violent crimes against property applying stochastic frontier analysis to the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil

description: Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the level of underreporting of violent crimes against property in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, using stochastic frontier analysis. Failure to report a crime to competent authorities has negative consequences for the effectiveness of public safety policies, because policy decisions regarding criminal matters are based on official crime statistics, which in turn are biased by underreporting. An awareness of the magnitude of underreporting should help policy makers to design more appropriate crime prevention strategies. The database used for the study defines armed robbery, robbery, and theft as violent crimes against property. The main results of the study show that, from 2004 to 2011, 32.7% of all violent crimes against property in the state were not reported. A robustness test was carried out on the estimates by employing the same technique to calculate the level of underreporting for the homicide rate, which is the least unreported crime.

title: Autonomic dysfunction in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy

description: Abstract Objetive: To evaluate the association between sympathetic nervous system activity and blood pressure variability with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Methods: We performed an individual, observational, and cross-sectional study involving 11 patients with CSC and 16 healthy individuals in similar age range. Participants underwent spectral power analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) at the Hypertension Department of Heart Institute at the University of São Paulo. Results: We demonstrated sympathetic activity predominance in CSC group and found that the LF (low frequency) of heart rate variability was significantly higher in this group (p = 0.04). when compared to control group. The CSC group's mean LF / HF (high frequency) ratio was higher than the control group but was not statistically significant (p = 0.2). Blood pressure variability was higher in CSC patients than in normal patients (p = 0.055), whereas heart rate variability was lower in these patients when compared to normal patients, although no statistical significance was found (p = 0.2). Spontaneous baroreflex function was significantly reduced in patients with CSC when compared to healthy individuals (p = 0.04). Conclusion: Autonomic dysfunction and a predominance of sympathetic modulation were observed in CSC patients.

title: Quality of life among people with glaucoma: analysis according to the defect in the visual field

description: Abstract Objective: To analyze the quality of life among people with glaucoma according to the visual field defect. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, analytical study carried out in an ophthalmology unit, Glaucoma Project, in Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Patients' quality of life was assessed using the National Eye Institute 25-Item Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ-25). The Mean Deviation (MD) parameter of the best eye was used to classify the visual field defects in mild, moderate and severe. Results: Four-hundred patients participated, 60.5% female. The participants' ages ranged from 19 to 80 years, the majority being over 60 (55.8%). The majority of patients presented a visual defect, regardless of whether they were referred by the public or private sector (p = 0.840). The mean quality of life score was 77.62 (± 18.007) points. The subdomain with worse mean was 'ocular pain' (53.06 ± 26.088) and with better mean was 'color vision' (94.13 ± 19.207). A negative linear correlation was observed between the quality of life scores and the visual field MD, both of the right (MD-OD) and left eye (MD-OE). Among the subdomains of quality of life, 'dependency' was the one that best explains the variation of the visual field defect and vice versa, with a determination factor equal to 7.2% for MD-OD and 8.4% for MD-OE. Conclusion: Visual field loss was related to poor quality of life among people with glaucoma. It is recommended to provide early diagnosis to favor treatment and delay in disease progression.

title: The More Doctors Program and the rearrangement of medical residency education focused on Family and Community Medicine

description: Abstract The More Doctors Program (PMM) was created in 2013 to address problems such as the insufficient number and unequal distribution of doctors, and their inadequate education profile to fulfill the population needs. Among other axes, it proposes changes in medical education, including the rearrangement and expansion of residency, suggesting one seat for every medical course graduate. This study reflects upon the elements that were essential to propose and implement changes in medical residency through PMM. The following advances were identified: better distribution of residency seats across Brazil; diversification of universalization strategies; regulations for residency seats focused on Family and Community Medicine; and preceptorship qualification. The conclusion section presents the challenges faced by the required institutional effort to maintain PMM’s actions in order to regulate residency and expand actions to other professions.

title: Clinical Outcomes and Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of FFR Compared with Angiography in Multivessel Disease Patient

description: Abstract Background: In multivessel disease patients with moderate stenosis, fractional flow reserve (FFR) allows the analysis of the lesions and guides treatment, and could contribute to the cost-effectiveness (CE) of non-pharmacological stents (NPS). Objectives: To evaluate CE and clinical impact of FFR-guided versus angiography-guided angioplasty (ANGIO) in multivessel patients using NPS. Methods: Multivessel disease patients were prospectively randomized to FFR or ANGIO groups during a 5 year-period and followed for &lt; 12 months. Outcomes measures were major adverse cardiac events (MACE), restenosis and CE. Results: We studied 69 patients, 47 (68.1%) men, aged 62.0 ± 9.0 years, 34 (49.2%) in FFR group and 53 (50.7%) in ANGIO group, with stable angina or acute coronary syndrome. In FFR, there were 26 patients with biarterial disease (76.5%) and 8 (23.5%) with triarterial disease, and in ANGIO, 24 (68.6%) with biarterial and 11 (31.4%) with triarterial disease. Twelve MACEs were observed - 3 deaths: 2 (5.8%) in FFR and 1 (2.8%) in ANGIO, 9 (13.0%) angina: 4(11.7%) in FFR and 5(14.2%) in ANGIO, 6 restenosis: 2(5.8%) in FFR and 4 (11.4%) in ANGIO. Angiography detected 87(53.0%) lesions in FFR, 39(23.7%) with PCI and 48(29.3%) with medical treatment; and 77 (47.0%) lesions in ANGIO, all treated with angioplasty. Thirty-nine (33.3%) stents were registered in FFR (0.45 ± 0.50 stents/lesion) and 78 (1.05 ± 0.22 stents/lesion) in ANGIO (p = 0.0001), 51.4% greater in ANGIO than FFR. CE analysis revealed a cost of BRL 5,045.97 BRL 5,430.60 in ANGIO and FFR, respectively. The difference of effectiveness was of 1.82%. Conclusion: FFR reduced the number of lesions treated and stents, and the need for target-lesion revascularization, with a CE comparable with that of angiography.

title: Microbial contamination in eye drops of patients in glaucoma treatment

description: Abstract Objetives: To assess the degree of fungal and bacterial contamination of hypotensive eye drops and the way these are preserved by the patients at the Glaucoma outpatient clinic of Santa Casa Hospital in Ribeirão Preto. Methods: Fifty-five patients were randomly assigned to follow-up in the outpatient clinic and, after their consent, an eye drop was collected per patient and later sent by mail for analysis by microbiologist and pathologist in up to 72 hours. Approximately 0.5ml of the medications were analyzed and the patients were asked to answer a simple questionnaire on the method of drug conservation and whether they considered it adequate. Results: Of the 55 analysed eye drops, five (9.01%) had their liquid contents contaminated. Among the microorganisms isolated there were 4 Gram negative bacteria, 1 (1.8%) by Serratia marcenses, 1 (1.8%) Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 2 (3.6%) Stenotrophomas maltophilia. An eye drop was contaminated by the fungus Candida ssp. All the patients in the study judged their methods of storage and instillation appropriate. The patients who had the positive coliria were summoned for clinical examination and passed through a new questionnaire by the investigator. Conclusion: The time and methods of preservation influence the contamination of medicinal products. All the eye drops that presented growth of microorganisms in the present study were open between 30 and 90 days. The fact that most patients take their eye drops on daily tasks increases the exposure of the bottles and can be a relevant fact to determine the contamination of these medications.

title: Implementation and development of a medical course in Parnaíba - Piaui state, Brazil, based on the Project More Doctors for Brazil

description: Abstract The implementation of a medical course in a city in the Brazilian northeastern region to expand and decentralize medical education as a result of the Project More Doctors for Brazil includes the institutionalization process that takes into consideration cultural and organizational aspects that facilitate or hinder the accomplishment of innovative practices. This study analyzed the implementation process according to key categories: pedagogical project, teaching-service integration, teacher development and infrastructure. The results showed facilitating elements and barriers that depend on the movement among the proposal’s instituted forces, instituting forces and the institutionalization process. A strategy for greater feasibility can be found in autonomous movements triggered by subjects who are committed to the objectives of the involved courses and institutions that work towards making legislations and intentions real.

title: DIFFERENT STAGES OF LIQUID FILM GROWTH IN A MICROCHANNEL: TWO-PHASE LATTICE BOLTZMANN STUDY

description: Abstract A free energy model is used to describe the droplet formation and break-up process in a T-junction bio-microchannel. Droplets are created as a result of interaction of two immiscible liquids. Different stages for the droplet formation process are analyzed which are: a) growing in the x and y directions, b) growing in the x direction and c) detachment process. The effects of capillary number and flow rate ratio on the droplet formation stages are also studied. The influences of Capillary number, flow rate ratio, viscosity ratio and geometrical parameters on droplet break up, droplet size and detachment time are systematically studied. By increasing the flow rate ratio; the duration of droplet formation and the length of the x-growth stage are decreased for small capillary numbers. For larger capillary numbers; the droplet penetrates toward the downstream; therefore, the length of the x-growth stage is increased. The start of detachment process in the microchannel is also reported, which is related to narrowing of the neck of the liquid film. The results show that the detachment time is increased by decreasing the Capillary number. For Ca&gt;0.02, the detachment time is independent of the flow rate ratios. Moreover; the effects of viscosity ratios on detachment time are not significant in comparison to the effects of capillary number. For Ca&lt;0.04, the size of the droplet is independent of the viscosity ratio, but after the critical Capillary number (i.e., Ca=0.04), the size of the droplet is varied by the viscosity ratio. The time between two consecutive drops is also decreased by increasing the Capillary number. Moreover, this time is decreased by increasing the flow rate ratio until Ca=0.04. After this Capillary number, the flow rate ratios have no significant effect on the time between two consecutive droplets. An exhaustive validation study is performed including (a) the Laplace equation in the stationary droplet; (b) a contact angle test; (c) Taylor deformation test in shear flow and (d) comparison of the droplet length as a function of flow rate ratio between the present work and other studies.
