title: The origin of chaos ? the mobility crisis in Rio de Janeiro and the threat to urban health

description: This article approaches urban mobility and its consequences to urban health. In addition, it presents recent studies about the subject and the historical reasons that have transformed the automobile into the main Brazilian means of transport, at least to the higher classes, to the detriment of public transport, used by the great mass of workers. The excessive use of automobiles affects air quality, and this, added to stress, vibration and noise, damages the health and the quality of life of the population that is exposed to the problems caused by long traffic jams. In Rio de Janeiro, this phenomenon has reached a delicate stage, in the moment that the metropolis is preparing itself to receive the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games.

title: Impaired flow-mediated dilation response and carotid intima-media thickness in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus with a mean disease duration of 4.1 years

description: ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed at assessing the endothelial function in patients with Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) using flow-mediated dilation (FMD) response and carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT). Materials and methods This study enrolled 32 T1DM patients (mean disease duration 4.1 years) and 28 age-matched controls (CTL Group). Endothelial function and CIMT were assessed with high-resolution ultrasound using standardized offline measurements. Results FMD was significantly lower in patients in the T1DM Group (8.9 ± 3.2%) compared with those in the CTL Group (13.3 ± 4.3%; P-value &lt; 0.0001). Similarly, CIMT differed significantly between T1DM patients (0.525 ± 0.03 mm) and controls (0.508 ± 0.03 mm; P-value = 0.041). Even though, the values are within the normal range for age. Conclusions Patients with T1DM have impaired endothelial function characterized by reduced FMD when compared to controls. However, vascular remodeling as seen by increases in CIMT was not found in this study.

title: Carcass muscularity and adiposity of different sheep and goat genotypes

description: SUMMARY Carcass muscularity and adiposity of different goat and sheep genotypes grazing in the Caatinga rangeland were evaluated. A total of 40 uncastrated males, with an initial average age and body weight of 120 days and 18.76 kg, respectively, were used: 10 mixed breed goats (MB), 10 cross Boer goats (½ Boer x ½ MB), 10 MB sheep and 10 cross Dorper sheep (½ Dorper x ½ MB). The cross Dorper had higher mean scores for rib eye area, leg muscularity index, weight of total muscles of the leg and conformation compared to MB goats. There was no significant difference between genotypes for the meat texture. Meat color was darker for goat genotypes than for sheep genotypes. The quantitative aspects of carcass adiposity, renal fat, inguinal fat, and subcutaneous and total leg fat showed to be higher for sheep than for goat genotypes. Carcass finishing and leg compactness index were superior for the cross Dorper genotype. Carcass muscularity and adiposity were better in sheep than in goat genotypes, indicating that sheep have a greater muscle and fat tissue development, giving to them a greater potential for beef production.

title: Estimating death counts completeness and mortality in small areas: an application to Minas Gerais microregions

description: This article aims to present a simple methodology to estimate the coverage of registration of deaths and obtain estimates of mortality for small areas, using the example of Minas Gerais. The proposed methodology combines the structure of indirect standardization of mortality of smaller areas based on the functions of mortality of larger areas and then applying the methods of distribution of deaths for more robust estimates of mortality for smaller areas. The results are robust and suitable compared to government estimates, and using other methods. The estimates produced using the two stages procedure, were robust and reduced cases of over- registration of deaths counts and improved estimates of adult mortality in some areas where data are less reliable.

title: Beyond the discourse of amalgam vs composite resin restorations

description: OBJECTIVE: To diagnose the prevalence of amalgam and resin composite restorations performed by professionals in public service and university students in a municipality in the Northeast of the State of Paraná. METHODS: Ten basic health units were randomly selected, at which 500 clinical record charts of patients of both sexes aged from 18 to 50 years were consulted. To analyze the prevalence of restorations performed by students, a questionnaire was applied to 4th and 5th year students, containing questions relative to the number of restorations and type of material using in intramural clinical activities. RESULTS: In the basic health units, 66% of restorations were performed with amalgam, and 34% with resin composite. At the dental school, 4th year students responded that when they were in the 3rd year, out of a total of 367 restorations, 21.5% were performed with amalgam and 78.5% with resin composite. For the 5th year group of students, the percentage of teeth restored with amalgam was 14.3%, 12.0% and10.2%, when they were in the 3rd, 4the and 5th years of the course, respectively. The results obtained revealed that the indication of the restoration material differed in the two scenarios. CONCLUSION: In the basic health units, the majority of restorations were performed with amalgam, whereas at the dental school there was higher prevalence of resin composite restorations. One must reflect whether professional education has adequately developed the necessary competencies for decision making and meeting the needs of this population.

title: Production and Characterization of Activated Carbon Fiber from Textile PAN Fiber

description: ABSTRACT: This paper presents the preparation and characterization of carbon fiber felt and activated carbon fiber felt from textile polyacrylonitrile fiber. Carbon fibers are usually related to aircraft manufacturing or high mechanical purposes. Activated carbon fibers are known as excellent adsorbent materials. Despite all advantages, carbon fiber and activated carbon fiber are expensive materials because of their raw material cost. On the other hand, in this study, carbon fiber felt and activated carbon fiber felt were produced from textile polyacrylonitrile fiber, which is cheaper than their precursor, polyacrylonitrile fiber, and can be converted into carbon fiber felt and activated material with high micropore content and surface area. This research describes the transformation of textile polyacrylonitrile fiber in its oxidized form. After that, the oxidized material was transformed in felt and, in the sequence, converted into carbon fiber felt and activated carbon felt. The carbon fiber felt and activated carbon fiber felt were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope. N2 isotherms were performed to qualify the material obtained for further electrochemical applications. The main result was the conversion dynamics of textile polyacrilonitrile fiber into carbon fiber in felt form and activated carbon fiber in felt with high surface area and high micropores content.

title: Glove perforations after dental care

description: OBJECTIVE: To assess surgical and procedure glove perforations after dental care. METHODS: A total of 279 pairs of gloves pairs were analyzed, 36 surgical and 243 procedure gloves used in the dentistry specialties surgery, cosmetic dentistry, endodontics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics, and prosthodontics. A diluted alkaline solution of fuchsine in water was used for analyzing the gloves. Each glove was filled with 500 ml of the solution and manually pressed at the height of the wrist for two minutes. Statistical analysis included the chi-square test at a significance level of 5%. RESULTS: Of the 279 study gloves, 106 had been perforated, corresponding to 38%. Most perforations occurred in the dominant hand, mainly in the finger area. Most procedures that caused perforations lasted more than 40 minutes, and most were in the area of cosmetic dentistry. CONCLUSION: There were a considerable number of perforations in the study gloves, which can increase the risk of cross-infection between students and patients.

title: Terms of clarification and accountability in the light of intervention bioethics

description: Abstract In Brazil, access to medicines of the Specialized Pharmaceutical Care Program, within the scope of the Brazilian Unified Health System, depends on filling out and delivering the Clarification and Responsibility Form at specialized pharmacies. These forms are intended to obtain the patient´s informed consent concerning the medication being offered. The study evaluated them in the light of the theoretical reference of intervention bioethics, with emphasis on guaranteeing patient autonomy and protection as a vulnerable entity. Though the forms studied consider patient privacy and provide them with information relevant to their empowerment in dealing with doctors, the term lacks enough protective measures in cases where undesirable effects occur. Therefore, it is a State responsibility to strengthen them to guarantee true autonomy for patients, to identify their vulnerability and to ensure protective measures in cases of adverse event.

title: IN MY OWN WORDS: THE TRANSLATION OF REPORTING VERBS ON THE PARALLEL CORPUS THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN – AS AVENTURAS DE HUCK

description: Abstract This article examines Monteiro Lobato’s (re)textualization of Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The analysis focuses on reporting verbs in instances of direct speech. The methodology used for data collection is based on Corpus Linguistics and the analysis built on the hallidayan systemic-functional grammar. The aim of this paper is to explore patterns in the choice of reporting verbs in Twain’s and Lobato’s textualizations particularly in connection with neutral verbs, such as ‘say’ in English and ‘dizer’ in Portuguese. Results show that Lobato’s (re) textualization tends to select Free Direct Discourse, (instead of Direct Discourse) and a wider variety of reporting verbs, there being no single verb accounting for more than 25% of all occurrences of direct discourse examined. The neutral verb ‘say’ was also observed to have been (re) textualized by reporting verbs that signal speech function, indicating either information giving or demanding, and by verbs that realize an additional feature or specify speech connotation.

title: Metabolic syndrome in infertile women with polycystic ovarian syndrome

description: ABSTRACT Objective The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in infertile Iranian women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) using the ATPIII criteria. Subjects and methods In this cross-sectional study, 624 women with PCOS were enrolled at a tertiary referral center in Tehran, Iran, between April, 2012 and March, 2013. Diagnosis of MS was according to ATPIII criteria. Also, we divided PCOS patients into following two main groups: (i) with MS (n = 123) and (ii) without MS (n = 501), and then compared variables between two groups. Results The mean age, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference were 28.6 ± 4.3 years, 26.7 ± 3.7 kg/m2 and 85.2 ± 8.7 cm, respectively. The prevalence of MS was 19.7%. Our findings showed that age, BMI, waist circumference and all metabolic parameters were higher in PCOS women with MS than related values in those without MS. The most and least prevalent forms of MS were low level of high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and hypertension, respectively. Conclusion It seems the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in our country isn’t as high as western countries. The prevalence rate of MS increased with age and BMI. One of the major cardiovascular risk factors, low level of HDL-C, is the most prevalent metabolic abnormality in our participants.
