title: Left Ventricular Remodeling Patterns in Primary Healthcare

description: Abstract Background: Left ventricular remodeling (LVR) is related to both non-fatal and fatal outcomes. Objective: To describe the geometric patterns of the LV and their associations. Methods: A total of 636 individuals between the ages of 45 and 99 years in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, were submitted to clinical evaluation, laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, and tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE). The difference between categories was tested with Kruskall-Wallis with post hoc tests, once all variables studied are non-normally distributed and Pearson’s Qui-square (categorical variables). Gross and adjusted ORs were estimated by logistic regression. The level of significance was 5% for all tests. Subjects had LVR characterized as: normal geometry (NG), concentric remodeling (CR), concentric hypertrophy (CH), and eccentric hypertrophy (EH). Results: The prevalence of altered patterns was 33%. Subjects presented NG (n = 423; 67%); EH (n = 186; 29%); CH (n = 14; 2%); and CR (n = 13; 2%). The variables of gender, age, level of education and albumin/creatinine ratio (A/C), showed a relationship with the chance of EH even after adjustment. Conclusion: Approximately one third of the studied individuals had LVR and were at risk for developing heart failure. Altered A/C in urine was associated with EH, indicating an early relationship between cardiac and renal dysfunction.

title: Bupivacaine injection for comitant horizontal strabismus: clinical and radiological results

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: To report the outcomes of bupivacaine injection for the treatment of comitant horizontal strabismus and evaluate clinical effectiveness and associated radiological changes. Methods: This prospective observational clinical study was conducted on 10 patients with comitant horizontal strabismus of up to 40 prism diopters. Ophthalmologic examinations and three-dimensional orbital magnetic resonance imaging were performed pre and post-injection (at first, third, and 12th months). A 4.5 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine was injected into the extraocular muscle under topical anesthesia using an electromyography in all patients. Results: The mean follow-up time at post bupivacaine injection and mean deviation at primary position were was 17 ± 2 months and 21.3 prism diopters, respectively. The mean changes in ocular alignment, enlargement of the cross-sectional area in the injected muscle, and volumetric enlargement were 7.7 PD, 12%, and 17% at the first year post-injection, respectively. No severe or persistent complication was observed. Ptosis and mydriasis were noted post-injection due to the anesthetic effects of bupivacaine but disappeared within 2 h post-injection. Conclusions: Bupivacaine injection improved eye alignment in small-angle horizontal comitant strabismus, effectively diagnosed with orbital magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate volumetric changes of the extraocular muscles. Further clinical studies with larger numbers of patients should be performed to define optimal dosages, concentration, and application method and dose-response relationship.

title: The key aspects of procurement in project management: investigating the effects of selection criteria, supplier integration and dynamics of acquisitions

description: Abstract Paper aims This study aims to identify the key aspects of procurement in the Project Management context and their relation to project success. Particularly, the effects of selection criteria, supplier integration and the dynamics of acquisitions are investigated. Originality This study contributes to the literature by analysing in depth a large sample of articles that deal with procurement in the Project Management context. This study also presents implications for practice by exploring how procurement management affects project success. Research method The methodological approach is a systematic literature review, combining bibliometrics and content analysis. Main findings The results show that academic literature focuses on the dynamics of acquisitions, lacking studies on the spectrum of supplier integration and supplier selection criteria. A strong relationship between the dynamics of acquisitions and project success dimensions could be established. Several insights into this relationship can be pointed out, as the effect of synergy with suppliers on the success dimension related to impact on the team. Implications for theory and practice The study contributes by identifying the relationship between the selection criteria, levels of supplier integration and dynamics of acquisitions with project success. Possible research gaps and trends are presented for future research.

title: The diversity in legislation on public libraries in Brazil and Spain

description: Abstract Public libraries are in face a diverse public, and often oppressed. The proposal of a mediating action foresees a constant rapprochement with readers in order to promote internal policies and activities that seek the appropriation of information, respecting and favoring the diversity. This work starts from the question: have public libraries been supported by a legislation that promote and strengthen the cultural diversity? To answer is proposed an initial analysis of the legislation for Public Libraries of Brazil and Spain, seeking to mention of the diversity within the most general laws of each country. Qualitatively selected laws (for Brazil, the National Book Plan, Law No. 13,696, of July 12, 2018, which establishes the National Reading and Writing Policy, and the National Book and Reading Plan - PNLL and for Spain, the Regulation of Public Libraries of the State and of the Spanish System of Libraries - Royal Decree 582/1989, and the laws: Law 10/2007, Law 19/2006 and Law 5/2012) were analyzed using Discourses Analysis. After the analyzes, it was possible to identify, in the Brazilian case, that the documents assume a position of book, reading and writing that presents a "poetization" of access and ends up by disregarding the nuances of the appropriation. In the case of Spain, in the perspective of this study (even if in isolation), which not only bring the theme as relevant, but also present corresponding lines of action. It was concluded the predominance of the custodial paradigm and the insufficient recognition of cultural diversity as an impact factor in the legislations evaluated.

title: Euterpe Oleracea Mart. (Açaí) Reduces Oxidative Stress and Improves Energetic Metabolism in Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Rats

description: Abstract Background: Euterpe oleracea Mart. (açaí) is a fruit with high antioxidant capacity and could be an adjuvant strategy to attenuate ischemia-reperfusion injury. Objective: To evaluate the influence of açaí in global ischemia-reperfusion model in rats. Methods: Wistar rats were assigned to 2 groups: Control (C: receiving standard chow; n = 9) and Açaí (A: receiving standard chow supplemented with 5% açaí; n = 10). After six weeks, the animals were subjected to the global ischemia-reperfusion protocol and an isolated heart study to evaluate left ventricular function. Level of significance adopted: 5%. Results: There was no difference between the groups in initial body weight, final body weight and daily feed intake. Group A presented lower lipid hydroperoxide myocardial concentration and higher catalase activity, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase than group C. We also observed increased myocardial activity of b-hydroxyacyl coenzyme-A dehydrogenase, pyruvate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, complex I, complex II and ATP synthase in the A group as well as lower activity of the lactate dehydrogenase and phosphofructokinase enzymes. The systolic function was similar between the groups, and the A group presented poorer diastolic function than the C group. We did not observe any difference between the groups in relation to myocardial infarction area, total and phosphorylated NF-kB, total and acetylated FOXO1, SIRT1 and Nrf-2 protein expression. Conclusion: despite improving energy metabolism and attenuating oxidative stress, açai supplementation did not decrease the infarcted area or improve left ventricular function in the global ischemia-reperfusion model.

title: Agricultural and economic characterization of guava production in Brazil

description: Abstract This study was designed to analyze the relationship between guava crop production variables in the Matão region of central São Paulo, Brazil, and to better understand the economic importance of this crop to its growers. Data were obtained through a questionnaire applied during interviews with guava growers and after the data collection, statistical analyzes were made using Chi-Square hypothesis tests. Analysis results indicate a distinct association between the variables variety and plant age, between variety and number of plants per hectare, andbetween number of plants per hectare and yield, while no association was found between yield and variety. The Paluma guava variety spaced seven meters by five meters apart and pruned throughout the entire year was found to be the most common crop arrangement. The mean yield of the plots studied was 110 Kg plant-1. The use of irrigation added 22.8 Kg of guava production per plant, annually.

title: Experimental plot size of passion fruit

description: Abstract The determination of the plot size is a practical matter pertinent to the experimental planning, and its optimal characterization allows to obtain higher precision and better quality in the results. Therefore, in this study, the main goal was to determine the plot size in experiments of passion fruit in two uniformity tests with Passiflora setacea and Passiflora alata. The experiment was constituted of a substrate at planting with 3 thirds of soil and 1 of barnyard manure. The soil was fertilizer with 3 kg of simple superphosphate and 0.5 kg of KCl by 1m³. Each species of Passiflora was considered a uniformity test with 40 basic units (BU). The evaluations of the experiments were done on 60 days after the transplant, noticing the tree’s height, stem’s diameter, number of leaves, number of buds, number of meristems and chlorophyll. Several plot sizes were simulated, in which each plant was first considered as a basic unit up to 40 plants per unit basic. For the estimation of optimum plot size, the maximum modified curvature method was used. The plot sizes varied with the specie, founding values as three to seven BU for Passiflora setacea and four BU to five for Passiflora alata.

title: Coherence in the thematic representation of scientific articles in the public health area

description: Abstract The research investigates the semantic coherence in the indexing of journal articles in the public health area, in Portuguese, indexed in the Scientific Production Repository of the National School of Public Health Sergio Arouca (ENSP) of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz) aiming to contribute to the semantic interoperability between the repositories of this Foundation. For that, 10 papers from Brazilian scientific journals, published in open access between 2012-2014 and registered in the Scientific Production Repository of ENSP / Fiocruz, were analyzed. The articles were processed in the software RankWord and WordSmith 6.0, after applying the laws of Zipf and Goffman Transition Point to identify the terms of high semantic load of texts. The terms selected in each article were compared in the 5 (five) indicators used in the research: Goffman's T region; Expressions WordSmith 6.0, Keywords; DeCS (Descriptors in Health Sciences) and Title. The results were compiled using the discursive plane of sentences, with emphasis on terms used as foregrounding and in terms used as background, helping to verify the degree of coherence between the articles. The data collected reveal a low degree of semantic coherence in most articles studied. Thus, we suggest an investigation with an expanded sample to confirm the data obtained, especially when dealing with articles published in Portuguese in the area of health and its importance in brazilian scientific communication.
