title: Febrile Neutropenia following Parvovirus B19 Infection and Cross Anti-Kell Reaction to E. Coli in Pregnancy

description: Abstract Parvovirus B19 has tropism for red line blood cells, causing immune hydrops during pregnancy. A positive anti-Kell Coombs reaction usually happens during pregnancy when there is production of antibodies that target Kell antigens, but cross reactions to other antigens may occur. A 24-year-old Gypsy primigravida, 0 Rhesus positive, presented with persistent isolated hyperthermia for 2 weeks and a positive indirect Coombs test result with anti-Kell antibodies at routine tests. She had a 19-week live fetus. The blood tests revealed bicytopenia with iron deficiency anemia, leucopoenia with neutropenia, and elevated C-reactive protein. She was medicated with imipenem, and had a slow clinical recovery. Blood, urine and sputum samples were taken to perform cultures and to exclude other systemic infections. Escherichia coli was isolated in the urine, which most probably caused a transient cross anti-Kell reaction. Haemophilus influenza in the sputum and seroconversion to parvovirus B19 was confirmed, causing unusual deficits in the white cells, culminating in febrile neutropenia. Despite the patient’s lack of compliance to the medical care, both maternal and fetal/neonatal outcomes were good. This a rare case report of 2 rare phenomena, a cross anti-Kell reaction to E. coli and parvovirus B19 infection with tropism for white cells causing febrile neutropenia, both events occurring simultaneously during pregnancy.

title: DAIRY CATTLE BIOGAS USAGE IN MICROTURBINES FOR ENERGY GENERATION AND THERMAL EXPLOITATION

description: ABSTRACT The increase in confined cattle breeding reflects the modernization and automation of farming, which has significantly intensified in recent years and caused an increase in the energy demand of rural properties. This study investigated the use of biogas generated from dairy cattle manure confined in gas microturbines on a farm to generate electricity and the energy use of exhaust gases. At the end of the study, 6,195 to 16,077 kWh month-1 of electricity was obtained, which corresponds to 43.3% of the property's self-sufficiency energy demand. By performing an exhaust gas energy exploitation, between 6.8 and 13.6 m3 day-1 of water heated to 368 K can be produced, or between 11,880 and 23,661 kWh month-1 of cooling capacity can be obtained using a liquid cooler.

title: Cultural adaptation and validation of the Brazilian Version of the Patient Activation Measure-22 items

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To adapt and validate the Patient Activation Measure (PAM22) in a sample of Brazilians with chronic diseases under outpatient monitoring. Method: Adaptation process comprises translation, back translation, analysis by a committee of judges, semantic analysis, and pre-test. Psychometric validation was performed with 513 individuals. Construct validity was analyzed through Pearson's correlation, Student's t-test and Structural Equation Modeling; reliability was assessed by the intraclass correlation coefficient and Cronbach's Alpha. Results: The internal consistency was adequate and test-retest reliability was low to moderate (p &lt; 0.05). Validity evidence was found on the convergent construct, with statistically significant correlations between measures of activation, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and health status. The one-dimensionality of the theoretical model was not confirmed in the adapted version. Conclusion: Results have shown that the adapted version is reliable and valid, although the theoretical model cannot be explained in a single dimension.

title: Social Representations of health care professionals on Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To apprehend social representation of health care professionals on HIV/AIDS and to compare it with a subgroup of physicians. Method: Qualitative research based on the Theory of Social Representations. Free associations for the term HIV/AIDS were collected from 73 workers of public services specialized in HIV/AIDS, in Salvador-Bahia. The results were analyzed in the EVOC software. Results: For all health professionals, HIV/AIDS is associated with “prejudice, care, disease and prevention”, and for the subgroup of physicians it is associated with the term “prevention”. Health professionals represented HIV/AIDS similarly to society in general and, due to their normative character, prescribed attitudes typical of health care professionals. Final considerations: The findings show that, despite the advances in the health area regarding the treatment of AIDS, prejudice still persists. It is important to strengthen interdisciplinary actions focused on discussions on this theme during training, favoring the comprehensiveness of the assistance.

title: The silencing of basic education teachers by the strategy of making them speak

description: Abstract This article aims to question the proposal of a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC; National Curricular Common Basis) as an anti-happening which chokes the possibility of basic education teachers to problematize, while also affirming the curriculum as a complex space of ethical, poetic and political events that enhances inventive learning. This paper uses the association between bibliographic-documentary research and field research in conversations with teachers from two municipal schools, seeking to verify how teachers problematize official documents in their relationship with the curricula of these schools as happening or anti-happening. The article concludes that the experts silence teachers’ voices, in a process of stimulating the participation of teachers in a way through which, by making the teachers speak, the experts’ discourse is legitimized and, under an apparent participation, the teachers remain without any effective decision-making power. The paper concludes, however, that there is indeed a silenced problematization of the process of social subjection to vertically imposed models.

title: Classification, fixation techniques, complications and outcomes of femur fractures in dogs and cats: 61 cases (2015-2016)

description: ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the frequency of femur fractures in dogs and cats in the routine of a school hospital, determining their classification, fixation methods, complications, and outcomes. A total of 61 animals, 50 (82.0%) dogs and 11 (18.0%) cats, had femoral fractures that were submitted to osteosynthesis. Sixty-two femoral fractures were evaluated. Single fractures in the distal epiphysis (n=25) were the most frequent (P=0.0001). Intramedullary pins were used in association with cerclage and tension band for osteosynthesis in proximal fractures. In diaphyseal fractures, bone plates and screws, two intramedullary pins (insulated or with cerclage) and Tie-In configuration were used. In distal fractures, modified Rush intramedullary pins, cross pins and Tie-In configuration were used. Comparing complication frequencies at fracture sites that required reintervention after osteosynthesis, a significant difference was observed (P=0.0253) between the diaphyseal (31.25%) and distal (7.14%) fractures independent of the technique used. We concluded that distal epiphyseal fractures were the most frequent in the routine of a school hospital. Distal epiphyseal fractures presented a lower frequency of complications for consolidation when treated with modified Rush intramedullary pins or crossed pins.

title: Study on the browning and structure properties of fresh-cut Chinese water chestnut ( Eleocharis tuberosa)

description: Abstract In this paper, the microstructure, water properties and browning control of Chinese water chestnut (CWC) after harvest were studied. Results showed that the tuber cell contained a large number of starch granules (5-10 μm for each one). The water-holding capacity of tuber cell was weak and T2 relaxation time was 28.5-75.6 ms. Sucrose was the main sugar component in Chinese water chestnut, which account for 84.8% of total sugar. In addition, potassium sorbate, green tea polyphenol and chitosan decreased the browning of fresh-cut CWC compared with the other anti-browning agents such as acetic acid, citric acid, oxalic acid, vitamin C and thyme oil. Moreover, chitosan coating combined with potassium sorbate and green tea polyphenol delayed weight loss and decay of fresh-cut tubers, also maintained a higher soluble solids and ascorbic acid content. The study provided an alternative method for controlling CWC browning, which would be helpful for the application of anti-browning agents in CWC processing.

title: DEVELOPMENT OF AN EQUIPMENT TO OBTAIN THE RELATION BETWEEN THE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL PRESSURE IN SILOS

description: ABSTRACT Silos are essential for sectors such as agriculture, industry, and mining in Brazil, but they are structures with a high degree of complexity in relation to pressure determination. Therefore, new researches on the influence of the product stored in their structure are stimulated. For granular materials, the K coefficient is the factor obtained between the horizontal and the vertical pressure. This study aimed to develop a test device capable of calculating this coefficient based on the recommendations of EN 1991-4 (2006) (Eurocode 1: Actions on structures – Part 4: Silos and tanks). For that, two cylinders of different heights were elaborated to study the influence of the device height in obtaining K coefficient. The results were measured by strain gauges and load cell connected to a data acquisition system. A vertical pressure was applied to the equipment, which responded with values of deformation correlated to the horizontal pressure. The values of K coefficient for corn were found and compared with those from the literature, concluding that the equipment could be used for the proposed purpose.

title: VERTICAL PRESSURES AND COMPRESSIVE FRICTION FORCE IN A LARGE SILO

description: ABSTRACT The grain flow is a dynamic phenomenon of high non-linearity, responsible for the occurrence of a high index of structural problems in silos, assuming particular interest in Brazil because the country does not have a standard of design of these structures. In order to determine the transfer of loads to the foundations, a silo in true magnitude was instrumented through pressure cells in the reinforced concrete slab of the bottom and through load cells under two of its column. The experiment was conducted during the period from December 2016 to February 2017 in Entre Rios do Oeste-PR. The profiles of vertical and the compression friction pressures were obtained during the loading, storage and unloading phases of corn grains. The vertical pressure distribution in the silo bottom was shown to be variable along its radius, in accordance with the formulation of the AS 3774 standard, an alternative to the simplified uniform distribution hypothesis prescribed by the EN 1991-4 and ANSI/ASAE EP433 standards. We also observed experimentally the non-occurrence of overpressure at the unloading of the silo under analysis. The load transfer coefficient to the column was 0.35, being that the ANSI/ASAE EP433, EN 1991-4 and AS 3774 standards increased this transfer by 6.57%, 35.91% and 75.03% respectively, reflecting the great divergence between these prescriptions.
