title: Analysis of the Appropriate Use Criteria for Coronary Angiography in Two Cardiology Services of Southern Brazil

description: Abstract Background: Despite its great relevance, there are no studies in our country evaluating the application of the 2012 guidelines for the appropriate use of cardiac diagnostic catheterization. Objective: To analyze the adequacy of coronary angiography performed in two hospitals in the southern region of Brazil. Methods: This is a multicenter cross-sectional study, which analyzed indications, results and proposals for the treatment of 737 coronary angiograms performed in a tertiary hospital with multiple specialties (Hospital A) and a tertiary cardiology hospital (Hospital B). Elective or emergency coronary angiographies were included, except for cases of acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation. The level of statistical significance adopted was 5% (p &lt; 0.05). Results: Of the 737 coronary angiograms, 63.9% were performed in male patients. The mean age was 61.6 years. The indication was acute coronary syndrome in 57.1%, and investigation of coronary artery disease in 42.9% of the cases. Regarding appropriation, 80.6% were classified as appropriate, 15.1% occasionally appropriate, and 4.3% rarely appropriate. The proposed treatment was clinical for 62.7%, percutaneous coronary intervention for 24.6%, and myocardial revascularization surgery for 12.7% of the cases. Of the coronary angiographies classified as rarely appropriate, 56.2% were related to non-performance of previous functional tests, and 21.9% showed severe coronary lesions. However, regardless of the outcome of coronary angiography, all patients in this group were indicated for clinical treatment. Conclusion: We observed a low number of rarely appropriate coronary angiograms in our sample. The guideline recommendation in these cases was adequate, and no patient required revascularization treatment. Most of these cases are due to non-performance of functional tests.

title: Integrated production and purification of fibrinolytic protease from Mucor subtilissimus UCP 1262

description: ABSTRACT Fibrinolytic enzymes can be obtained from microorganisms through fermentative processes. The study aimed to evaluate the fibrinolytic protease production and integrated extraction from Mucor subtilissimus UCP 1262 by extractive fermentation using Aqueous Two-Phase Systems (ATPS). The integrated process was carried out to assess the production, partition and fibrinolytic enzyme recovery, according to a 2 3 -experimental design, using as independent variables Polyethylene glycol (PEG) molar mass, PEG and sodium sulphate concentration, concentration. The highest fibrinolytic activity (15.40U/mL) was obtained in sodium sulfate rich phase in the assay comprising of 10% of salt and 18% of PEG 8000 (g/mol). Yield greater than 80% was obtained. The fibrinolytic protease presented optimum pH 7.0 and stability between pH 6.0 and 8.5, and optimum temperature 50°C, stable between 10°C to 50°C. The enzyme was classified as a serine-protease with 52kDa of molecular weight. As a result, the process is remarkably effective to pre-purify the fibrinolytic protease with a low cost and significantly faster processing time. When compared to other isolated production and purification techniques the extractive fermentation is worthy of being a candidate to replace the initial stages of conventional separation processes.

title: Mathematical Modeling and Parameter Estimation of Battery Lifetime using a Combined Electrical Model and a Genetic Algorithm

description: ABSTRACT In this paper, a parametrization methodology based on the Genetic Algorithm meta-heuristic is proposed for the Chen and Rincón-Mora model parameter estimation, this model is utilized for the mathematical modeling of the Lithium-ion Polymer batteries lifetime used on mobile devices. The model is also parameterized using the conventional procedure, which is based on the visual analysis of pulsed discharge curves, as presented in the literature. For both parametrization procedures, and for the model validation, experimental data obtained from a platform test are used. The simulations results show that the proposed Genetic Algorithm is able to parametrize the model with better efficacy, presenting lower mean error, and it is also a more agile process than the conventional one, been less subject to subjective aspects.

title: Study of concrete properties with vegetal and polypropylene fibers for use in structural walls

description: ABSTRACT The properties with addition of vegetal fibers (sisal and ramie) and of polypropylene for use in structural walls was studied in this research. An evaluation of the performance of the concrete with an addition of vegetable fibers and of polypropylene fiber was carried out, to verify the possible displacement. Were evaluated, the shrinkage under restrained conditions by ring test, as well the mechanical properties (compressive strength, splitting tension and static modulus of elasticity) and physical properties (specific mass, voids, immersion and capillary absorption). The contents used were 0.25 % and 0.5 % for the vegetable fibers and for the polypropylene fiber or 0.25 % content. In relation to the shrinkage under restrained conditions, it was observed that the addition of 0.25 % of fibers did not result in an increase in performance compared to concrete without fiber addition, but the addition of 0.5 % of vegetal fibers showed satisfactory results, being superior to the reference concrete. The mechanical properties of the concrete with fiber addition, generally lower than the reference concrete, did not undergo major changes, except for concrete with the highest ramie content, which did not present adequate fibers dispersion. The concrete with 0.25 % ramie presented the highest absorption and voids, among all the concretes studied. In relation to the absorption by capillarity, the concretes with addition of the vegetal fibers demonstrated better performance, that is, reduction of the absorption by capillarity. It was concluded that the substitution of polypropylene fiber by vegetal fibers, especially sisal, is plausible.

title: Physiological and biochaemical parameters of horses in three-barrel training: post-warm-up, post-exercise and post-rest

description: ABSTRACT Physiological and biochemical parameters were evaluated in Quarter Horse during three-barrel training, in three times: T0 (before warm-up), T1 (after warm-up), T2 (after completing the exercise, performing only one course), T3 (after resting for 20 minutes of the course), and T4 (after resting for 40 minutes of the course). The parameters evaluated were: heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), rectal temperature (RT) and capillary filling time (ECT); Serum concentrations of sodium, potassium, chloride, total calcium, BUN, creatinine, osmolarity, creatine kinase, aspartate transaminase; Plasma concentrations of total protein (PT), glucose, and lactate. HR, RR and RT increased shortly after the course (T2) but were restored after 40 minutes of rest. Lactate concentration increased after conditioning, but at low concentrations, but high levels occurred after the course (T2), and although decreased after 20 (T3) and 40 minutes (T4) of the course, it was still above normal limits. There were no significant changes in the other parameters. At the end of a single course of three-barrel, the exercise of maximum intensity did not cause significant biochemical variations in horses, except for lactate, which increased to levels of hyperlactatemia, and was not restored until 40 minutes of rest, even with the physical parameters already recovered.

title: Investigating mixing designs to produce Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) using ANOVA

description: ABSTRACT An experimental study is presented to produce Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) including industrial waste in the mix, and determine the average compressive strength. The study includes factor arrangements to perform analysis of variance using ANOVA. The controllable factors were: (i) age of the sample; (ii) granulometry of the slag; (iii) mix designs; (iv) percentages of fibers and (iv) thermal treatment in curing. The highest resistance values obtained were 138.12, 132.17 and 155.29 MPa, with partial substitutions of cement by industrial waste of 35, 25 and 26% respectively. The mixing designs were manufactured using a simple procedure, using materials such as cement, silica fume, blast furnace slag, quartz powder and fine sand produced in Brazil. Also, the mixture includes the superplasticizer diluted in water and the fibers, which are incorporated when the mixture becomes a dense plastic mass. The results showed that all the controllable factors have significant influence on the response variable, and that the probability that the variations in resistance are attributed to the experimental error is less than 1 ‰.

title: Study of the compressive and tensile strengths of mortar with addition of red-ceramic waste

description: ABSTRACT The increasing generation of wastes results in great concerns about the final disposition of certain materials. The waste from the red-ceramic industry has aroused interest for its potential use in concretes and mortars because of its composition, as well as its capability to generate a pozzolanic reaction. In this work, tests were done with the wastes collected in 3 industries (A, B and C) from the southern Santa Catarina State (Brazil). The wastes were characterized, and subsequently, mortars were produced with 10% substitution and addition in relation to the cement mass. With the use of an experimental design of mixtures, the influence of each waste on the compressive and tensile strengths of the mortars was verified. Although the chemical compositions and the X-ray diffractograms demonstrated similar characteristics for both wastes, the samples containing only C waste obtained better values of compressive and tensile strengths. Despite the differences observed in the mechanical properties between the mixtures, the statistical analysis of the experimental design proved that with 10% addition/substitution, the mechanical strengths were not significantly changed by the composition. Except for the composition with the addition of 10% waste, there was no statistical evidence that the mechanical properties of the mixtures combining the worst results of compressive and tensile strengths were different than the reference sample. The results showed that a part of the cement can be substituted by red-ceramic waste without affecting the mechanical performance of the mortar, and that with the additions, there is an increase in the compressive strength, enabling its incorporation and creating a way for the recycling of the material.

title: Early mobilization protocols for critically ill pediatric patients: systematic review

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the existing early mobilization protocols in pediatric intensive care units. Methods: A systematic literature review was performed using the databases MEDLINE®, Embase, SciELO, LILACS and PeDRO, without restrictions of date and language. Observational and randomized and nonrandomized clinical trials that described an early mobilization program in patients aged between 29 days and 18 years admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit were included. The methodological quality of the studies was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies and the Cochrane Collaboration. Results: A total of 8,663 studies were identified, of which 6 were included in this review. Three studies described the implementation of an early mobilization program, including activities such as progressive passive mobilization, positioning, and discussion of mobilization goals with the team, in addition to contraindications and interruption criteria. Cycle ergometer and virtual reality games were also used as resources for mobilization. Four studies considered the importance of the participation of the multidisciplinary team in the implementation of early mobilization protocols. Conclusion: In general, early mobilization protocols are based on individualized interventions, depending on the child's development. In addition, the use of a cycle ergometer may be feasible and safe in this population. The implementation of institutional and multidisciplinary protocols may contribute to the use of early mobilization in pediatric intensive care units; however, studies demonstrating the efficacy of such intervention are needed.

title: Determination of tocopherols and physicochemical properties of faveleira (Cnidoscolus quercifolius) seed oil extracted using different methods

description: Abstract This study aims to evaluate the physicochemical properties and tocopherol content in faveleira seed oil extracted using three methods (Bligh-Dyer, Soxhlet extractor, and cold-pressing). Each of the methods generated different yield percentages, with cold-pressing producing the least amount of oil. However, the cold-pressing method produced better quality oil with more desirable properties, including low acidity (1.56 ± 0.01% oleic acid) and low peroxide value (0.45 ± 0.09 mEq/1000 g). Cold-pressing resulted in higher quantities of tocopherols: 0.59 ± 0.12 mg/100 g of alpha-tocopherol and 20.97 ± 1.15 mg/100 g of beta + gamma-tocopherol. Faveleira seed oil, when extracted by cold-pressing, maintains better physicochemical quality, with the highest beta + gamma-tocopherol content.
