title: SENSIBILITY OF MICROCULTIVATION ASSAY DERMATOBAC® FOR FUNGAL ENDOMETRITIS DIAGNOSIS IN MARES

description: Abstract Among different etiologic factors, fungal endometritis is a common cause of decreased mare’s fertility. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the sensitivity of Dermatobac®, a microculture system originally developed for the isolation of fungi that concerns Human Medicine. In Experiment 1, standard (ATCC) strains of Candida (n=4) and Aspergyllus (n=1) were grown and visually analyzed daily for 7 days. For Experiment 2, 34 mares were selected and subjected to material harvesting for completion of uterine cytology as well as seeding with Dermatobac®. After 24h of cultivation, the macroscopic observation of all Candida and Aspergyllus strains (Experiment 1) was possible. In Experiment 2, five animals showed presence of yeast on cytologic slides (14.71%), results also confirmed sowing in Dermatobac® system (100% sensitivity). Five false positive cases were observed, characterized by microbiological growth in Dermatobac® but not confirmed by endometrial cytology, determining specificity of 85%. However, the results did not compromise the efficiency of Dermatobac® system given all contaminants presented differentiated morphology and higher growing time (P&lt;0.05) when compared to the major etiological agents of equine fungal endometritis. The Dermatobac® system proved to be efficient for the macroscopic diagnosis of fungal endometritis in horses, showing conclusive information only after 24 hours of culture.

title: Deoxygenation rate, reaeration and potential for self-purification of a small tropical urban stream

description: Mathematical models used to simulate the water quality and the processes of self-purification of water bodies are important tools to support effective water resource management. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of organic pollution on water quality and the assimilative capacity of organic matter in the Ribeirão Vermelho stream situated in the city of Lavras in Minas Gerais. The deoxygenation rate (K1) and reaeration (K2) were determined and tested in three segments of the Ribeirão Vermelho over two seasons (summer and winter). The purification process simulation was performed using the Streeter-Phelps model. The highest K1 and K2values occurred during the winter period which was characterized by lower flows. Simulation of the dissolved oxygen profile and biological oxygen demand fitted the model well, indicating the prevalence of carbonaceous deoxygenation due to nitrification and also demonstrating the importance of natural reaeration as part of the purification process. Different response was observed during the winter, in which the high primary productivity values stood in the reaeration process stream. Biological oxygen demand values did not meet the limits recommended by the Resolution of the Ministry of the Environment 357/2005 throughout the river system and the entire study period. In conclusion, the Ribeirão Vermelho is unable to self-purify along its entire length, and water quality is influenced by effluent discharge which intensifies degradation.

title: Visceral fat index: a novel predictor for coronary collateral circulation

description: ABSTRACT Objective This study was designed to investigate the role of visceral adiposity along with other clinical parameters in predicting poor coronary collateral circulation (CCC) among patients with severe obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Subjects and methods A total of 135 patients with severe obstructive CAD and good (n = 70) or poor (n = 65) CCC were included. Data on angiographically detected CCC, the quality criteria for CCC (Rentrop scores) and visceral fat index (VFI) obtained via bioelectrical impedance were compared between good and poor CCC groups. Independent predictors of poor CCC, the correlation between VFI and Rentrop score and the role of VFI in the identification of CCC were analyzed. Results A significant negative correlation was noted between VFI and Rentrop scores (r = -0.668, &lt; 0.001). The presence of hypertension (OR 4.244, 95% CI 1.184 to 15.211, p = 0.026) and higher VFI (OR 1.955, 95% CI 1.342 to 2.848, p &lt; 0.001) were shown to be independent predictors of an increased risk for poor CCC. ROC analysis revealed a VFI &gt; 9 (AUC [area under the curve] (95% CI): 0.898 (0.834-0.943), p &lt; 0.0001) to be a potential predictor of poor CCC with a sensitivity of 95.38% and specificity of 85.71%. Conclusion In conclusion, our findings revealed comorbid hypertension and higher VFI to significantly predict the risk of poor CCC in patients with severe obstructive CAD.

title: AN ANALYSIS OF JOURNAL ATUALIDADES PEDAGÓGICAS COVER IMAGES: FOR A SCHOOL AESTHETICS IN THE DECADE OF 1950 IN BRAZIL

description: Abstract This paper analyzes classroom everyday images that appear on the covers of two issues of the Journal Atualidades Pedagógicas published in 1955 and 1960. From these images, taken as historical sources, we analyze the role that images could accomplish the construction of an aesthetic school associated with values that were linked to the Brazilian school of the 50s in Brazil. Some traces of these attempts to aesthetical and moral awareness can be identified in representations of classrooms, uniforms and attitudes of students, teachers clothing and classroom and laboratory images, that was growing appreciation that time, marked by developmental ism and by modernizing spirit of Brazilian society.

title: Ultraconservative fixed partial denture: esthetic and preservation of dental structure

description: The oral rehabilitation can be made with several ways with the objective to reestablish the masticatory function and the esthetic of the patient. The aim of this clinical case is to present a different type of fixed partial denture, as alternative option to the dental surgeon, showing particularities like indications, contraindications, advantages, disadvantages and technical procedures necessary to its fabrication. The sequential presentation of the realized procedures emphasized the unique aspects of the dental preparation, impression techniques, and cautions during metal structures and ceramic try-in procedures, and esthetic overlay on the metal with composite resin. As a result, it could be observed that the ultraconservative fixed partial denture required lesser removal dental structure, re-established the esthetic and the occlusion of the patient. Finally, it can be concluded that the ultraconservative fixed partial denture is a treatment option to be used in the small prosthetic space with success both mechanically and esthetically.

title: Forms of treatment: Portuguese and Spanish in focus

description: Abstract: Being linguistically competent is, besides mastering the morphosyntactic rules and semantics of each language, it is also to know the set of norms that regulate the proper behavior of the members of a particular social environment. Language, as a means of interaction with other individuals, cannot be detached from its sociocultural characteristics. To the respect, each society establishes rules, which include the forms of treatment that sanction the conduct of communicative behaviors as being adequate or inadequate. The way we treat others is embedded in a social code that, when transgressed, can cause damage in the relationship between the interlocutors. Specifically, forms of treatment designate both the terms that refer to the speaker-hearer pair, as the vocatives used to draw the attention of the recipient, including the so-called personal pronouns of treatment as well as the nominal forms. The purpose of this work is to make considerations about the forms of treatment in Brazilian Portuguese and Iberian Spanish; present theories that address the subject of courtesy; and finally, on the basis of data obtained from two works of Brazilian theater of the 20th century, analyze and compare the pragmatic strategies developed through the forms of treatment in both Brazilian Portuguese and Iberian Spanish. With this study we also intend to offer teachers of foreign language some appreciation of the difficulties, pragmalinguistic and sociopragmatic, that in the process of acquisition/learning of the forms of treatment may occur due to the influence of the mother tongue.

title: Selective case finding versus universal screening for detecting hypothyroidism in the first trimester of pregnancy: a comparative evaluation of a group of pregnant women from Rio de Janeiro

description: ABSTRACT Objective Maternal hypothyroidism during pregnancy may lead to adverse outcomes. Recently published guidelines by the American Thyroid Association (ATA) do not advocate for universal screening but recommend a case-finding approach in high-risk pregnant women. The present study aims to evaluate the accuracy of this approach in identifying women with thyroid dysfunction during early pregnancy. Subjects and methods This is a multiple-center, cross-sectional study. Three hundred and one pregnant women were enrolled. Anamnesis and a physical examination were performed to detect which women fulfilled the criteria to undergo laboratory screening of thyroid dysfunction, according to the ATA’s 2017 guidelines. The Zulewski’s validated clinical score was applied to assess signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism. Serum levels of thyrotropin (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4), anti-thyroperoxidase (TPO-Ab), and anti-thyroglobulin (Tg-Ab) antibodies were determined. Results Two hundred and thirty one women (78%) were classified as high risk, and 65 (22%) were classified as low risk for thyroid dysfunction. Regarding the clinical score, 75 patients (31.2%) presented mild symptoms that were compatible with SCH, of which 22 (7.4%) had symptoms as the only risk factor for thyroid disease. 17 patients (5.7%) had SCH, of which 10 (58.8%) belonged to the high-risk group, and 7 (41.2%) belonged to the low-risk group. OH was found in 4 patients (1.4%): 3 (75%) in the high-risk group and 1 (25%) in the low-risk group. Conclusions The ATA’s proposed screening criteria were not accurate in the diagnosis of thyroid dysfunction in pregnancy. Testing only the high-risk pregnant women would miss approximately 40% of all hypothyroid patients.

title: LAPAROSCOPIC TECHNIQUE VERSUS OPEN TECHNIQUE IN SWINES ADRENALECTOMY

description: Among the main benefits of laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) compared to open adrenalectomy (OA) the rapid recovery of patients with decreased length of stay in hospital can be highlighted. The objective of this study was to compare the open adrenalectomy with laparoscopic adrenalectomy in swine. Thirty-two swine were operated. The animals had been divided into four groups (n = 8), one group was submitted to OA and the other to LA, together with its respective control group. Parameters were evaluated regarding operative time, body temperature, hematocrit, postoperative and intraoperative complications and time to deambulation. There was no meaningful difference between operative and deambulation times, even though the latter having been higher in the group submitted to OA. The most frequent intercurrences were in bowel, damage to adrenal vessels and renal hematoma. There were no significant blood losses, and observed hypothermia did not have any clinical impact. Laparoscopy in swine experimental adrenalectomy is a reliable technique that can serve as a reference for the surgical treatment of patients with adrenal diseases with surgical indications in other animal species.

title: The Perception of Voice Quality by Brazilian Bilinguals

description: Abstract Research has shown that bilingual speakers can alter their voice when speaking a foreign language in comparison to their voice in L1. It remains to be seen whether listeners perceive these differences. Thus, the present study explores the perception of voice quality by bilingual Brazilian listeners in speech in Brazilian Portuguese (BP) and English (EN) produced by bilingual Brazilian speakers. To achieve this objective, a voice discrimination task with semantically similar speech samples from the same speaker was carried out. Listeners judged if voices in LE were the same or different than voices in L1, describing their characteristics in case they were different. Results point to certain variability in judgements, but also reveal that listeners are capable of identifying differences in pitch and intensity between languages, as well as conferring characteristics of personality and emotion to the speech samples in both languages.
