title: Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Risk Measurement in Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis in a University Hospital

description: Abstract Background: Psoriatic Arthritis is the spondyloarthritis associated with psoriasis, which is often related to high mortality due to cardiovascular causes. Objectives: To quantify cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity and smoking) and to measure risk by the Global Cardiovascular Risk Score in patients with psoriatic arthritis. Methods: Patients with psoriatic arthritis according to the Classification Criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis, aged between 30 and 74 years and without any other clinically manifest chronic inflammatory disease, atherosclerotic disease or heart failure were included. After an interview, clinical examination and data extraction from medical records, risk stratification was performed using a calculator available on the online platform of the Framingham Heart Study. We considered p &lt; 0.05 as significant. Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test were used to compare frequencies, as well as correlation measurements. Results: 45 patients were included, 68,9% of which were women and the mean age was 53,94 years. Dyslipidemia was confirmed in approximately 93%, hypertension in 46%, obesity in 40%, 33.3% were diabetics and, 13.3%, smokers; 95% had increased abdominal circumference. It was observed that 53% had high cardiovascular risk, 29% had intermediate risk and 18% had low risk. Individuals with altered C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate presented, respectively, higher levels of LDL-C and total cholesterol. Conclusions: There was a high occurrence of risk factors and the majority of the sample was stratified into high or intermediate cardiovascular risk.

title: Comparison of Anatomical and Clinical Scores in Predicting Outcomes in Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

description: Abstract Background: Different scores based on anatomical and/or clinical features have been developed for risk stratification of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Studies comparing the ability of these different models in predicting major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients submitted to primary PCI are limited. Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the ability of the scores SYNTAX (SS), Clinical SYNTAX (CSS), ACEF, and modified ACEF (ACEFMod) to predict MACCE in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) submitted to primary PCI. Methods: We analyzed 311 consecutive patients with STEMI submitted to primary PCI between April/2011 and December/2015. The area under the ROC curve was calculated to evaluate the ability of these scores in predicting MACCE. P-values were considered significant at &lt; 0.05. Results: Mean age of the patients was 60.2 ± 12.0 years, 35.4% were females, and 22.5% had diabetes. MACCE occurred in 23.8% of the patients. The area under the ROC curve was 0.586 (p = 0.028) for ACEF, 0.616 (p = 0.003) for SS, 0.623 (p = 0.002) for ACEFMod, and 0.658 (p &lt; 0.001) for CSS. In multivariate analysis, only high SS (p = 0.011) and CSS (p = 0.002) were independent predictors of MACCE. Conclusions: High SS and CSS were independent predictors of MACCE. In our cohort of STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI, pure anatomical SS calculated at the baseline coronary angiography was a useful tool to predict MACCE.

title: Shrub-tree vegetation in a restinga of Jaguaruna, southern coast of Santa Catarina, Brazil

description: Abstract In order to develop a greater understanding of the coastal land of the state of Santa Catarina, we carried out a phytosociological study of shrub-tree component in the restinga of the Lagoa do Arroio Corrente, in the municipality of Jaguaruna, in the southern part of the state. The study used the “plots” method, including shrub-trees with a diameter at soil height (DSH) minimum of 2.5 cm. We found a difference in the height of shrub-trees individuals in the upper (10 m) and lower (5 m) sections, and opted to carry out sampling in these two vegetation types separately. The restinga’s vegetation of the Lagoa do Arroio Corrente had, in the upper section, low size stratification (1 to 5 m), due to shrubby individuals, with dense vegetation cover, due to the development of clusters of plants and, in the lower section, with emerging individual trees, resulting in two strata: a lower stratum, with predominance of shrubby (2 to 5) and an upper stratum, with tree individuals (up to 10 m). The floristic richness resulted in 17 botanical families, 25 genera and 32 species. The total basal area was 4.3 m2.ha-1 (upper section) and 23.2 m2.ha-1 (lower section). Guapira opposita (Vell.) Reitz exhibited the highest importance value, with other outstanding phytosociological parameters (frequency, density, and dominance). The analyses performed contribute to structural data for restingas of Santa Catarina, assisting in the characterization of vegetation of sand bars of Southern Brazil.

title: Objective criteria for assessment of the quality of dental restorations improve student’s critics towards the treatment assignment: a randomized controlled trial

description: Abstract Introduction Objective parameters may help the decision of how to manage existing dental restorations in patients. Objective This study tested the following hypotheses: i) teaching objective criteria to dental students enhances their criticism toward the indication for replacement of dental restorations; and ii) a complementary practical approach enhances the proportion of correctly indicated treatments compared with a strictly theoretical approach. Method This block-randomized controlled trial involved dental students from a Brazilian university who were randomized to either a didactic/theoretical class group (A, control) or a didactic/theoretical class followed by practical training (group B); both conditions were applied in a moodle-based environment. The proportion of correctly indicated interventions before and after teaching the criteria was compared with using Mann–Whitney U-test (p&lt;0.05), and a comparison between the approaches was established with Wilcoxon test (p&lt;0.05). Result The baseline proportion of correct assignments significantly increased after interventions for both groups (p=0.02), with no significant difference between the interventions (p=0.871). Conclusion The proposed online training enhanced the proportion of correct assignments to restorations, confirming the first study hypothesis. The second hypothesis was rejected because differences between the strategies had no effect on the proportion of correct answers. Focusing on teaching objective criteria for assessment of the quality of restorations would enhance students’ ability to correctly treat them.

title: AGRONOMIC PERFORMANCE OF CONTENDER AND AMARELO JAPONÊS CULTIVARS UNDER DIFFERENT WATER REPLACEMENTS

description: ABSTRACT The use of cultivars appropriate to the soil and climate characteristics of a region provides farmers with security by facilitating credit for crop financing and improving product prices in local commerce. The objective of this work was to evaluate the agronomic performance of “Contender” and “Amarelo Japonês” green bean bush cultivars grown in the Cerrado in terms of water replenishment (RH) of 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125% of evaporation using the Piché evaporimeter. The experiment was carried out in the experimental area of the State University of Goiás, on the Ipameri Campus. The experimental design was a randomized block design. Sowing was done in May 2017, with treatments distributed in a split-plots scheme with water replenishment in plots and cultivar subplots with 3 replications. The analyzed variables were: height; stem diameter; leaf number; leaf area; number of inflorescences; number of flowers; fresh and dry mass of the plant; number, length, diameter, fresh and dry mass of the pods. The different water replenishment rates increased the mean plant height, stem diameter, number of pods per plant, number of bean seeds per pod, and number of bean seeds per plant in the cultivars “Amarelo Japonês” and “Contender.” Water replenishment of 125% produced higher development and better agronomic performance in the two cultivars than the other rates.

title: Process of dying in a pediatric intensive therapy unit

description: Abstract The recurrent experience of the nursing team in a pediatric intensive care unit is not enough to accept the death of a child, since they bring feelings like guilt, failure and denial of death. The objective of this study is to discuss how nursing professionals deal with the death and dying process, and identify the impacts caused during this process in pediatric intensive care units. The methodology chosen to conduct the research was qualitative and exploratory-descriptive, employing a content analysis proposed by Bardin. We conclude that there are some important gaps in the nursing process in dealing with death and dying in pediatrics. Dealing with this process is extremely painful and requires the pursuit of continuing education in health.

title: Trend analysis of an historical series of flow and precipitation using a non-parametric statistical test

description: Detecting trends in flow and precipitation series has great importance for the management of water resources and can be accomplished using statistic non-parametric tests. This work evaluated the significance of trends in flow and temporal series of precipitation as well as monthly and annual precipitation trends using Pettitt's test. The study used historical series of flow and precipitation corresponding to the period of 1939 to 2005, recorded at stations 02041003 and 57450000 of the hydro-meteorological network of Water National Agency (ANA), located in the municipality of Alegre-ES. Using the Pettitt test, it was possible to identify a change in the trend of October average flow since the year 1963. The average for this month increased 34.2% since 1963. However, the rainfall series had a positive trend in August and September since the years 1967 and 1964, respectively. The increase in the October average flow may be a consequence of an increase in rainfalls in August and September; this requires further studies which may consider the influence of climate and anthropic factors in this hydrologic cycle component. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that the Pettitt test performed satisfactorily in detecting trends in the historic series of flow and precipitation.

title: The Proposal of a Conceptual Model of Brand Equity in the New Logic of Services

description: ABSTRACT The study about brand value and brand equity is considered one of the main topics in the strategic management of marketing (Webster, 2005). Much emphasis has been given to studies about this subject in relation to services, for presenting characteristics which distinguish them from products (Berry, 2000). Besides that, Vargo and Lusch (2004a) propose a new way of studying services, inspired by the transfer of a logic where tangible goods are the central topic, to a logic in which the intangible aspects and the interaction with the consumer are central (Service-Dominant Logic). In this proposal, brand is a topic forgotten by the authors, in spite of its recognized relevance (Brode, Glynn, Little, 2006). The objective of this article is to propose a conceptual model of brand value antecedents in services under this new approach. Following an exploratory approach a theoretical review is presented about brand equity and the elements of this new dominant logic. A set of antecedents of brand equity is proposed in this context, based on the model of Berry (2000), considering to keep the elements already identified by the author (brand presented by the company, external communication and consumers experience with a company), and indicating the inclusion of the elements Brand Personality and Co-creation. As the result, the study offers a model that can be the base for a new perspective in management and research in services brand equity.

title: CLASSIFICATION OF COEFFICIENT OF VARIATION IN EXPERIMENTATION WITH RABBITS IN BRAZIL

description: Abstract The aim of this study is to propose specific classification range of the coefficients of variation (CVs) in experiments with rabbits in Brazil. The CVs were collected in articles published in Brazilian journals between 2000 and 2010 for feed intake, live weight, body weight gain, feed conversion, carcass weight, and carcass yield, besides the apparent digestibility coefficients of dry matter, crude protein, gross energy, organic matter, acid detergent fiber, neutral detergent fiber, starch, and lipids. For each variable, the CVs were ranked using a relation between the median (MD) and pseudo-sigma (PS) as follows: low (CV &gt; MD - PS), medium (MD - PS &lt; MD +PS ≤ CV), high (MD + PS &lt; CV ≤ MD + 2PS), and very high (CV &gt; MD + 2PS). The CVs observed ranged from 0.01 to 29.83% depending on the variable analyzed. We concluded that for each variable used in experimentation with rabbits there is a specific classification range for the coefficient of variation values that can be used as reference to determine the experimental precision. Classification range found for rabbits differ from other animal species and from agronomic experimentation.
