title: ACCELERATIONS AT THE HORSE-RIDER INTERFACE: REPERCUSSIONS FOR HIPPOTHERAPY

description: ABSTRACT Hippotherapy has shown positive results in the intervention of motor and neurological dysfunctions. Many studies investigating an efficacy of the method describe the strategy as a variation of the horse's displacement surfaces, different position of rider and a variety of riding equipment to control the impulses transmitted from horse to rider. However, knowledge about how much these manipulations are efficient to produce motor responses are limited. The purpose of this study was to analyze the horse-rider interface accelerations during different situations in hippotherapy. Eight women, mean of 25.5 ± 6.12 years, without experience in riding horse activities were evaluated in different situations arranged according displacement surface where horse walk, mount accessory and riding position of the rider. A triaxial accelerometer, positioned on two different mount accessories (saddle and blanket), were used for judgment as the horse shifted on sand and asphalt surfaces. The results indicated higher accelerations in the anteroposterior, vertical and lateral directions, respectively. As accelerations have been shown to be higher in situations where the horse has moved on the asphalt surface, using a saddle.

title: ACUTE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT EXERCISES ORDERS IN THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF REPETITIONS IN PROTOCOLS REALIZED WITH DIFFERENT REPETITION DURATION

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of exercise order of two exercises involving the participation of common musculature (smith machine back squat and leg curl, on the NMR, in two repetition durations. Sixteen trained male volunteers participated in this study. The protocols were performed in two exercise orders and repetition durations (self paced and 4s) in which volunteers realized their NMR in each exercise over two sets, at an intensity of 60% of 1RM, with 90 seconds between sets and 180 seconds between exercises. The ANOVA whit repeated measures were performed for comparison of the NMR and Bonferroni post hoc was applied when necessary. Regarding the self paced repetition duration, both exercises presented a higher NMR when performed as the first exercise than when performed as second. However, there was neither interaction nor main effect of the factors analyzed for the repetition duration of 4s. Therefore, it is concluded that the repetition duration is a variable capable of modifying the results found by the different orders.

title: CONTENT VALIDITY, RELIABILITY AND CONSTRUCT VALIDITY OF A CHECKLIST FOR DIVE ROLL EVALUATION

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to verify the content validity, reliability and construct validity of a checklist for dive roll evaluation. As for content validity, 4 experts in the Artistic Gymnastics field evaluated the checklist using the Delphi technique. Results showed good content validity indexes for the evaluation questions (CVI&gt;0.80). About reliability, 6 raters analyzed 20 dive roll videos of 10 children, using the checklist. Results showed intra-rater ((ICC&gt;0.80) and inter-rater agreement (ICC&gt;0.90). Finally, concerning construct validity, 156 skill videos were analyzed using the checklist. Cronbach’s alpha and Exploratory Factor Analysis with Varimax rotation were applied, with the latter indicating good internal consistency (α=0.76) and the existence of three factors that explain the checklist. Thus, it is concluded that the checklist is valid and reliable to evaluate the proposed motor skill.

title: Behaviors and knowledge of dentists of the Primary Health Care regarding oral cancer

description: Abstract Introduction Considering the importance of prevention and early diagnosis of oral cancer, the Primary Health Care is an ambience suitable for the development of these actions, and dental attention plays a strategic role in this confrontation. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the knowledge and behaviors of dental surgeons of the Primary Health Care on oral cancer. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted using interviews with dentists of the Family Health Strategy. The Mann-Whitney test was used for comparison between independent and dependent variables. Results: Most of the 70 dentists evaluated were identified with satisfactory knowledge (82.6%) on oral cancer; however, differences were observed with respect to the ability to provide preventive information (p&lt;0.001); perform exfoliative cytology (p=0.011), and the level of education on oral cancer obtained at graduation (p&lt;0.001). Most of the professionals were identified with unsatisfactory behavior (52.2%), with differences with regard to the importance given to the examination of soft tissues in the initial queries (p=0.005); the investigation of risk factors (p=0.002); providing information on self-examination of the mouth (p&lt;0.001), and preventive activities (p=0.029). Conclusion: Most of the dentists evaluated present satisfactory knowledge on oral cancer, but this knowledge has not been put into practice in their activities.

title: SILAGE QUALITY OF CORN AND SORGHUM ADDED WITH FORAGE PEANUTS

description: ABSTRACT: Corn and sorghum are standard silage crops because of their fermentative characteristics. While corn and sorghum silages have lower crude protein (CP) contents than other crops, intercropping with legumes can increase CP content. Furthermore, one way to increase CP content is the addition of legumes to silage. Consequently, the research objective was to evaluate the fermentative and bromatological characteristics of corn (Zea mays) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) silages added with forage peanuts (Arachis pintoi). The experimental design was completely randomized with four replicates. The treatments consisted of corn silage, sorghum silage, forage peanut silage, corn silage with 30% forage peanut, and sorghum silage with 30% forage peanut. The results showed that the corn and sorghum added with peanut helped to improve the silage fermentative and bromatological characteristics, proving to be an efficient technique for silage quality. The forage peanut silage had lower fermentative characteristics than the corn and sorghum silages. However, the forage peanut silage had a greater CP content, which increased the protein contents of the corn and sorghum silages when intercropped with forage peanuts.

title: DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH SLEEP QUALITY IN PHYSICALLY ACTIVE ELDERLY WOMEN

description: ABSTRACT The present study aimed to associate presence of diseases with sleep quality in elderly women who engage in physical exercises. A total of 146 senior women (69.58±6.22 years old) with this profile were investigated. The research was developed through the application of questionnaires covering sociodemographic data and health perception, in addition to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Data were analyzed by means of the independent t-test, comparing sleep quality between groups, as well as the chi-squared test, Fisher’s exact test, and binary logistic regression to identify diseases associated with poor sleep quality and their respective odds ratio and confidence interval. Results showed high prevalence of low sleep quality in this population (n=79, rf=56.4%). Elderly women with arthrosis, depression, diabetes, heart disease, fibromyalgia, gastritis and urinary incontinence had a significantly worse sleep quality compared to the other ones. Moreover, sleep quality has proven to be associated with arthrosis, diabetes and heart disease, and those who have them are 3.4 times more likely to present poor sleep quality.

title: Cuban scientific production in Medicine and Public Health: Scopus 2003-2011

description: The aim of this study was to analyze the evolution of the quantity and visibility of Cuban scientific production in Public Health and Medicine to determine if they follow the same patterns of scientific communication and the recommended best practices for publication. Bibliometric indicators of quantity, visibility and cooperation were extracted from the SCImago Institutions Rankings website, which is based on Scopus data, in the field of Medicine and category of Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health from 2003 to 2011.Cubahas a relatively high position in the rankings of scientific production in both Medicine and Public Health within the international and regional contexts, but its impact is ranked among the last countries. The production trend of both fields has increased, but public health is increasing faster. Leadership is high, but international collaboration is below expectations. Publication in high impact journals (first quartile) and articles in the set 10% most cited documents (excellence) are scarce. Thus, it may be concluded that the volume and impact of publication are not in accordance with the scientific potential of Cuban health. We recommend increasing scientific cooperation, publishing articles in high impact journals, training human resources and following the international recommendations for good editorial and scientific publication practices.

title: Characterization of diagnostic delay in oral and oropharyngeal cancer at two referral centers

description: Abstract Objectives To analyze the chronology of diagnosis and determine whether clinical and epidemiological variables have an influence on diagnostic delay at two referral centers. Methods The medical records of all patients older than 18 years diagnosed with oral/oropharyngeal cancer from June 2005 to June 2013 were analyzed using SPSS® 20. The association between epidemiological and clinical variables with patient and professional delay was performed using ANOVA, Student’s t-test, and Kruskal-Wallis test. Results In total, 121 medical records were included in the study. Patients were predominantly brown, male, illiterate, living in country towns, smokers, and heavy drinkers (mean age 64.3 years, SD=12.94). The majority (85.1%) of patients were diagnosed at advanced stages of their disease. The greatest delay was patient-related, mean 197.8 days (SD=323.9). Delay in establishing the medical diagnosis averaged 20 days (SD=25.9), and health care system-related delay was 71.1 days (SD=71.7). There was no association of clinical and epidemiological variables with delayed diagnosis (patient and professional). Conclusion Data from the present study suggest that clinical and epidemiological variables do not influence diagnostic delay.
