title: Bilingual education policies for deaf students: contributions to academic literacy in higher education

description: ABSTRACT The systematic enrollment of deaf students in higher education in the last decade demanded important institutional changes regarding the right to a bilingual education, that is, to provide access and production of knowledge in Brazilian sign language and in Portuguese in written form. In this sense, this article aims to discuss the process of bilingual education of deaf students in higher education, presenting actions developed within the Universidade Federal do Paraná (Federal University of Paraná, UFPR), highlighting the contributions brought to the process of bilingual academic literacy in undergraduate and post-graduate programs. We understand that the focus attributed to the figure of the interpreter of Brazilian sign language and the specialized educational service in the national policy of inclusive education does not respond to the needs of adult working deaf students who reach higher education with difficulties in reading and writing Portuguese and little significant experiences in sign language. As a positive result, we point out the contributions to the bilingual academic literacy of deaf students, the development of a specific methodology for the elaboration of bilingual material - in different textual genres - and the amplification of the translator's performance references in the inclusion process. The inclusive process consists in dialogue-based interaction between researchers and specialized professionals, with focus on the protagonism of deaf students, subjects of the educational policy, in the planning of actions and decisions that involve their access and permanence at UFPR.

title: Effects of a therapeutic exercises program associated with pompage technique on pain, balance and strength in elderly women with knee osteoarthritis

description: Abstract Introduction: Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) affects mainly elderly, being characterized by arthralgia, stiffness and strength and balance deficits. Scientific evidence suggests beneficial effects of exercise therapy on these changes, but lacks detailed protocols. In addition, there were published studies on effects of therapeutic exercise associated with pompage that were not located. Objective: To investigate the effects of a therapeutic exercise program associated with pompage on pain, balance and muscle strength in elderly women with knee osteoarthritis. Methods: A randomized pilot clinical trial that included 22 women (60 - 80 years) diagnosed with knee OA, randomized and allocated by simple raffle into two groups: intervention and control. Intervention group (strengthening and balance exercises and knee pompage) performed two sessions per week for 12 weeks. The control group received educational lectures, they were evaluated before and after 12 weeks: arthralgia- subscale pain of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index questionnaire (WOMAC); postural stability- postural balance protocol by Biodex Balance SD and muscle strength- concentric peak torque of the knee extensor by isokinetic dynamometer. The Independent Student t test was used for intergroup analysis. Results: The intervention group compared with the control showed better results for the outcomes pain, balance and muscle strength after 12 weeks. However, the difference was statistically significant (p &lt; 0.05) for levels of antero-posterior oscillation (DM -0.28, 95% CI -0.54 a -0.02; p = 0.035) and global oscillation (DM -0.36, 95% CI -0.68 a -0.04; p = 0.028). Conclusion: The intervention had a positive effect on postural balance in elderly women with knee osteoarthritis.

title: Social role and professional and managerial competences of higher education professor: similarities between the constructs and research perspectives

description: Abstract This essay aims to discuss conceptual similarities between the constructs “social role”, “professional competences” and “managerial competences” of higher education professor. The notion of social role has been used recurrently and spontaneously by members of the organizations in their descriptions about their practices and experiences. It is argued that the social roles that professors of higher education plays (teacher, researcher, manager, counselor, etc.) are guided in specific professional competences that can be effective, or not, depending on their environment and context of performance. To achieve this purpose, for selecting the bibliographic material, it was adopted the thematic criteria for choosing intentionally texts that would enable deeper understanding of the constructs social role and professional and managerial competences, using themes and key concepts from authors such as Kerr (1982), Berger e Luckmann (2005), Goffman (2009), Mendonça et al. (2012), Musselin (2011, 2013), Paiva (2007), among others. It sought to shed light on the faces of the social role of academic manager and expand the discussion of these constructs in an environment with rather peculiar actors and dynamics, such as a higher education institution. Finally, other research perspectives that consider methodological aspects and thematic connections were suggested.

title: Effects of tramadol and acepromazine on intraocular pressure and pupil diameter in young healthy cats

description: ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate the effects of the systemic administration of acepromazine, tramadol and the association of both on intraocular pressure (IOP) and pupil diameter (PD) in young healthy cats. Cats were randomly allocated into three groups (n=10/each) and intramuscular acepromazine (AG), tramadol (TG) or acepromazine combined with tramadol (ATG) were injected. PD (electronic caliper) and IOP (applanation tonometry) were assessed before (baseline) and following 15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes of treatments. It was verified that in AG, PD decreased significantly from time point 30 to 120 (P=0.002), but such reduction did not differ significantly from baseline (P=0.89). In TG, PD increased significantly from the first 15 minutes, until the last time point of evaluation (P&lt;0.001). In ATG, PD increased significantly from time point 30 to 120 when compared to baseline (P&lt;0.001); but significant differences from time point 30 to 120 were not seen (P=0.71). Comparisons among groups showed that PD values of TG and ATG were significantly higher than that of AG (P&lt;0.05). IOP values, on the other hand, did not change significantly among time points and groups (P&gt;0.05). It can be concluded that tramadol alone or in association with acepromazine produced significant mydriasis for up to 120 minutes, without changing IOP values in normal cats. Results of this study suggested that tramadol alone or in association with acepromazine caused significant mydriasis and did not change IOP values in normal cats. Therefore, it may be considered a satisfactory pre-anesthetic combination for ophthalmic surgery in cats. However, further studies are warranted on the use of such protocols in cats with ophthalmic diseases undergoing ocular or intraocular surgery.

title: Nintendo Wii training on postural balance and mobility rehabilitation of adults with Parkinson's disease: a systematic review

description: Abstract Introduction: Postural instability affects balance control in Parkinson disease (PD) patients and increases the particular risk of falling compared with healthy older adults. Video games with not immersive virtual reality have been used in neurological disorders rehabilitation process. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the video game console Nintendo Wii (NW) on postural balance and mobility treatment of adults with PD in Hoehn and Yahr stages I to III. Methods: The following databases were searched electronically on MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, PEDro, CAPES Periodic, BIREME, and LILACS databases. The search period for this review was January 2010 to June 2016. The assessment of methodological quality was performed using the PEDro Scale as reference. Results: 12 original studies were selected, but only 3 were randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Conclusion: Some of the studies analysed suggest that NW can provide improvement in balance and mobility of adults with PD. These benefits should be interpreted with caution because of the low methodological quality of the included trials, and the lack of common assessment of treatment effects. There is little evidence to ensure the effectiveness and support the inclusion of the treatment with NW of patients with PD.

title: Anterior tarsal flap rotation combined with anterior lamellar reposition in the repair of cicatricial upper eyelid entropion

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: This study aimed to share the results of patients who underwent anterior tarsal flap rotation combined with anterior lamellar reposition because of cicatricial upper eyelid entropion, and to determine the effectiveness and reliability of this surgical technique. Methods: Fifteen eyes of 11 patients (2 right eyes; 5 left eyes; and 4 bilateral eyes) on whom we performed anterior tarsal flap rotation surgery combined with anterior lamellar reposition because of cicatricial entropion were included in this study. The medical records of the patients were analyzed retrospectively, and the causes of cicatricial entropion as well as the preoperative and postoperative ophthalmic examination findings were recorded. Normal anatomical appearance and function of eyelid were considered to have been achieved. Results: The mean age was 59.81 ± 18 years. The mean follow-up period was 21.72 ± 14 months (range, 5-43 months). The causes of cicatricial entropion were postoperative cicatrices development due to multiple electrolyzes for trichiasis and/or distichiasis in 7 eyes, trachoma in 6 eyes, and trauma in 2 eyes. Irritation and watering were detected in all patients preoperatively, whereas corneal opacity and erosion were detected in 10 patients and epithelial erosion was detected in one patient. Full anatomical and functional success was achieved for all patients. Conclusion: Anterior tarsal flap rotation combined with anterior lamellar reposition in the repair of cicatricial entropion was found to be an effective and reliable alternative surgical procedure.

title: Correlation of Electrocardiographic Changes with Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Findings in Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

description: Abstract Background: Electrocardiogram is the initial test in the investigation of heart disease. Electrocardiographic changes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have no set pattern, and correlates poorly with echocardiographic findings. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging has been gaining momentum for better assessment of hypertrophy, as well as the detection of myocardial fibrosis. Objectives: To correlate the electrocardiographic changes with the location of hypertrophy in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by cardiac magnetic resonance. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study evaluated 68 patients with confirmed diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by cardiac magnetic resonance. The patients’ electrocardiogram was compared with the location of the greatest myocardial hypertrophy by cardiac magnetic resonance. Statistical significance level of 5% and 95% confidence interval were adopted. Results: Of 68 patients, 69% had septal hypertrophy, 21% concentric and 10% apical hypertrophies. Concentric hypertrophy showed the greatest myocardial fibrosis mass (p &lt; 0.001) and the greatest R wave size in D1 (p = 0.0280). The amplitudes of R waves in V5 and V6 (p = 0.0391, p = 0.0148) were higher in apical hypertrophy, with statistical significance. Apical hypertrophy was also associated with higher T wave negativity in D1, V5 and V6 (p &lt; 0.001). Strain pattern was found in 100% of the patients with apical hypertrophy (p &lt; 0.001). Conclusion: The location of myocardial hypertrophy by cardiac magnetic resonance can be correlated with electrocardiographic changes, especially for apical hypertrophy.
