title: The prevalence of Active Play in Brazilian children and adolescents: a systematic review

description: Abstract A systematic review of the prevalence of Active Play in Brazilian children and adolescents was performed. Only fully available scientific papers that measured Active Play or leisure time physical activity independently from other types of physical activity in Brazilian children and/or adolescents were considered for inclusion. The search for potential articles was performed on the following electronic databases: Pubmed/Medline, Web of Science, Bireme, Scielo and Scopus. Initially, 63 papers met the eligibility criteria. However, after deeply analyzed, seven studies remained and were included in the present review. The overall prevalence of Active Play was 36%, in which varied from 27.2% to 79.3%. Boys presented a prevalence of 47%, ranging from 39,1% to 79.9%, while the prevalence in girls reached 26%, varying from 13.9% to 78.7%. Although the prevalence of Active Play in Brazil in not satisfactory, the potential to present a reliable data regarding this theme should be highlighted. In agreement with some other studies, boys presented a higher prevalence of physical activity than girls. Also, any socioeconomic pattern regarding the prevalence of Active Play in children and adolescents was observed when the results from this study were compared to other studies developed in other countries from several socioeconomic status. The Active Play should be further investigated individually, as a pivotal component of physical activity, as well as its impact on physical inactivity-related comorbidities.

title: The Professional Education of People with Disabilities and Its Repercussions in Teacher Education

description: ABSTRACT: A policy of labor inclusion in most cases, is not a decontextualized one, as in the case of education policy, where the route of education to which people with disabilities had access, has implications for both the entrance into the world of work and for professional education in relation to the regaining of knowledge which may be prerequisites for such education. From this perspective, the aim of this paper was to analyze how the inclusion of people with disabilities in professional courses has repercussions on the education of teachers in Professional Education, in two municipalities located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. This research is characterized by a qualitative approach and the method was the case study of multiple cases, developed from questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with the participation of coordinators who are involved in the organization and promotion of professional qualification courses and the teachers involved in them. The data indicated the need of the Professional Education teacher to be perceived as a professional of education and not only a professional in technical areas, with a life trajectory that not only stands out with experiences but also; the existence of a distinguishable process between the policies of teacher education, simplified for this level of education; and the pedagogical actions that are required for the professionalization of people with disabilities. From the context investigated, the professional performance of Special Education beyond the inclusive processes of the school remit, and also in the labor context through Professional Education are valuable and beneficial.

title: Perception of Interns and Doctors Recently Graduated from the Medicine Course of PUC-SP on Their Training to Work in Primary Health Care

description: ABSTRACT Background The School of Medical Sciences and Health (FCMS – Faculdade de Ciências Médicas e da Saúde) at the Sorocaba campus of the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (PUC/SP – Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo) began to reform the curriculum of the Medical course in 2006, introducing a new educational project based on the 2001 Brazilian National Curricular Directives (DCN – Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais) for Medical Degree Courses. In this curriculum, Health Care Practice is a horizontal module with its six disciplines studied from the first to the sixth year, in various practical scenarios, but with a focus on primary health care in the Unified Health System (SUS – Sistema Único de Saúde), with learning based on practice and problem solving as central educational strategies. Objective To assess whether medical students and new graduates consider themselves prepared to work in primary health care, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of their training in order to propose the adjustments required to improve the Medical course and training of graduates from the FCMS of PUC/SP. Methods A questionnaire with four open questions and five multiple choice questions using the Likert scale was answered by 66 interns and 8 new graduates. Results More than 70% of the participants consider that they are well prepared or very well prepared to work in primary health care as general practitioners, in a person-centred, critical and reflective manner, with the skills to perform activities in health prevention, promotion and rehabilitation in accordance with the DCN and the priorities of the SUS, while valuing multiprofessional work. Participants consider as curriculum strengths: involving the student in primary health care from the beginning of the course, favouring a person-centred approach in the doctor/patient relationship, and the understanding and management of the most prevalent diseases. The weakest points reported were: little medical care was provided to patients during the course, home visits were conducted without the tutor, and Primary Health Care is undervalued in professional life. Conclusions Interns at the end of the course and new graduates from the Medical course of FCMS at PUC/SP feel themselves prepared and confident to work in primary health care as general practitioners in the SUS in the way specified in the DCN and offer critical suggestions to improve teaching/learning in this scenario.

title: Optical coherence tomography angiography artifactual choroidal neovascularization in optic disc pit maculopathy

description: ABSTRACT This case report describes a 19-year-old Caucasian man presented with decreased visual acuity in the right eye for 3 months. Dilated funds exam revealed optic disk pit associated with serous macular detachment. Optical coherence tomography identified communication between the optic disk pit and the macular serous detachment, and optical coherence tomography angiography displayed a subfoveal area suggestive of subfoveal choroidal neovascularization. However, there was no evidence of leakage in the fluorescein angiogram and no evidence of choroidal neovascularization in optical coherence tomography in the area corresponding to the suspicious subfoveal choroidal neovascularization. The patient underwent 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy in the right eye. Six weeks after surgery, multimodal imaging was repeated and there was near-complete resorption of the subretinal fluid. Optical coherence tomography angiography signal superimposed on optical coherence tomography B-scan also demonstrated normal choriocapillaris signal throughout the macula. In conclusion, optical coherence tomography angiography may produce artifacts in optic disk pit maculopathy that simulate choroidal neovascularization.

title: Effects of topical and subconjunctival use of bevacizumab on corneal neovascularization in rabbits' eyes

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate and compare the effects of topical application and subconjunctival injection of bevacizumab on corneal neovascularization (CNV) in rabbits' eyes after chemical burning of the cornea. Methods: The animals were randomly distributed into four groups of five animals. In one group, the drug was instilled, while in another, it was administered by subconjunctival injection. The two procedures using bevacizumab were compared with instillation and subconjunctival injection of saline solution (S). Neovascularization was evaluated according to the size of the invasion area of new blood vessels and through computerized analysis of this area. The data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn's test for two-by-two comparison of the groups, to assess the external examination of CNV. Analysis of variance was used to assess the area of CNV. P&lt;0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Assessing both the external examination and the invasion area of neovessels on the 5th and 10th days, there was a clear difference between the groups. The group to which saline solution had been applied showed higher scores for CNV, as well as increases in the invasion area of neovessels. Two-by-two comparison of groups revealed no significant differences. However, an analysis of the factors involved (injection vs. instillation and bevacizumab vs. saline solution) showed that injection did not differ from instillation, but that bevacizumab differed from saline solution. Conclusion: Bevacizumab showed an inhibitory effect on CNV in rabbits' eyes after chemical burning of the cornea. There was no difference between the topical or subconjunctival administration of bevacizumab in the inhibition of CNV.

title: Finite element modelling of cornea mechanics: a review

description: The cornea is a transparent tissue in front of the eye that refracts light and facilitates vision. A slight change in the geometry of the cornea remarkably affects the optical power. Because of this sensitivity, biomechanical study of the cornea can reveal much about its performance and function. In vivo and in vitro studies have been conducted to investigate the mechanics of the cornea and determine its characteristics. Numerical techniques such as the finite element method (FEM) have been extensively implemented as effective and noninvasive methods for analyzing corneal mechanics and possible disorders. This article reviews the use of FEM for assessing the mechanical behavior of the cornea. Different applications of FEM in corneal disease studies, surgical predictions, impact simulations, and clinical applications have been reviewed. Some suggestions for the future of this type of modeling in the area of corneal mechanics are also discussed.

title: Ocular diseases at geriatric clinics in Rio de Janeiro: social and epidemiological considerations among patients with motor locomotion deficit

description: Objective: To identify the causes of low visual acuity and systemic morbidities that limit ambulation and access to eye care in geriatric clinics in Rio de Janeiro. Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated 187 patients from three geriatric clinics in Rio de Janeiro between January 2010 and January 2011. The inclusion criteria were individuals with a visual acuity of less than of equal to 20/200 in either eye (118 individuals), without optical correction. The exclusion criteria were individuals who refused to participate and those unable to undergo screening because of mental disabilities (6 individuals). Of the 187 individuals evaluated, 63 had visual acuity above 20/200. Results: A total of 118 individuals with a visual acuity of ≤20/200 effectively participated in the study after meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. In addition, 57 participants (48.3%) presented systemic disabling morbidities. Of the 118 individuals with low visual acuity, 27.96% had cataract and 26.27% had refractive errors. Conclusion: Most of the patients from geriatric clinics experienced ocular morbidities, but their proper treatment resulted in improved visual acuity. A more socially oriented problem associated with eye care involved the difficulty of access to ophthalmologic consultations.

title: Case report: pneumatic retinopexy for the treatment of progressive retinal detachment in senile retinoschisis

description: Retinoschisis is an abnormal separation of the retinal layers and is asymptomatic in most cases. Enlargement of the area of retinoschisis and retinal tear and detachment are possible complications of the disease, and the treatment of retinoschisis is controversial. In this case report, we present a case of retinal detachment associated with senile retinoschisis in which pneumatic retinopexy was chosen as the treatment of choice and was performed successfully in one of the eyes. After a literature review on retinoschisis and pneumatic retinopexy for the treatment of associated retinal detachment, we found only one case that was successfully treated without drainage of subretinal fluid, using air as the filler. However, no previous reports have been found in the literature on the effectiveness of pneumatic retinopexy using C3F8 as the sole treatment for progressive retinal detachment in senile retinoschisis.
