title: Heart rate response to graded exercise test of elderly subjects in different ranges of TSH levels

description: ABSTRACT Objective: Life expectancy is increasing worldwide and studies have been demonstrating that elevated serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) concentration in elderly is associated with some better health outcomes. This elevation is somewhat physiological as aging. The aim of this study was to investigate the heart rate (HR) response during a graded exercise test and its recovery in healthy elderly, comparing subjects within serum TSH in the lower limit of reference range to those within the TSH in the upper limit. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 86 healthy elderly aged 71.5 ± 5.1 years, with serum TSH between 0.4 – 4.0 mUl/mL. The participants were divided into two groups according to TSH level: &lt; 1.0 mUl/mL (n = 13) and ≥ 1.0 µUI/mL (n = 73). All participants performed an ergometric test on a treadmill. The HR was recorded and analyzed at rest, during exercise and during the three minutes immediately after exercise. Results: No differences were observed in relation to HR at peak of exercise (TSH &lt; 1.0 µUI/mL: 133.9 ± 22.5 bpm vs. TSH ≥ 1.0 µUI/mL: 132.4 ± 21.3 bpm; p = 0.70) and during the first minute of recovery phase (TSH &lt; 1.0 µUI/mL: 122.3 ± 23.1 bpm vs. TSH ≥ 1.0 µUI/mL: 115.7 ± 18.4 bpm p = 0.33). The groups also presented similar chronotropic index (TSH &lt; 1.0 µUI/mL: 78.1 ± 30.6 vs. TSH ≥ 1.0 µUI/mL: 79.5 ± 26.4; p = 0.74). Conclusion: In this sample studied, there were no difference between lower and upper TSH level concerning HR response during rest, peak of exercise and exercise recovery.

title: LEARNING OF PROBOSCIS EXTENSION IN HARNESSED AFRICANIZED HONEY BEE DRONES (Apis mellifera L.)

description: Studies on the olfactive learning in honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) are predominantly performed with worker bees. In this study, we used the classical conditioning of proboscis extension (PER) to evaluate the effectiveness of 5 scents as conditioned stimuli (CS). Ten groups of 20 drones (A. mellifera L.) each were used. The conditioned stimuli were the odors of Citral, Hexanal, Geraniol, beeswax (comb), and beeswax (foundation sheet). In addition to the acquisition of learning, we measured the persistence of conditioning when the unconditioned stimulus was no longer presented (i.e.,extinction). The intertrial interval, the CS duration and US duration were 10 min, 2 sec, and 3 sec, respectively. The drones were able to demonstrate conditioning and storage of information. Citral, Hexanal, and beeswax (comb) were the most efficient stimuli in classical conditioning with drones.

title: Who are the residents of therapeutic residential services? Profile of de-institutionalized patients with mental disorders

description: ABSTRACT This article aimed to characterize the sociodemographic and clinical profile of residents of Therapeutic Residential Services (TRS). A cross-sectional, census-based study was carried out with 190 TRS residents from Recife (PE), Brazil. Data collection occurred on an individual basis in TRS. Most of the residents are men, unmarried, elderly, illiterate and with history of various and long-term psychiatric hospitalizations. The iatrogenic conducts practiced in the hospital have left important sequels in several aspects of the life of users and have become a social debt that is yet to be paid by society.

title: Periodontal attachment loss and associations with sociodemographic and behavioral risk indicators

description: Abstract Introduction Clinical attachment loss (CAL) has been indicated as a determining parameter for the study of risk indicators of chronic periodontitis. Objective To describe the prevalence, severity and extent of CAL in a population group that abstains from alcohol and tobacco use and to evaluate associations with sociodemographic and behavioral characteristics of participants. Method A sample of 420 adult individuals, participants of the Advento Study (São Paulo) were submitted to a periodontal examination of six sites per tooth and answered a structured questionnaire. Associations were verified by multiple logistic regression analysis. Result Prevalence of periodontitis was 20.7% and gingivitis 38.8%; mean CAL was 1.38mm (±0.5) and dental loss 5.4 (±9.0). Prevalence of CAL ≥3 mm, ≥4 mm and ≥6 mm was 69.7%, 31.7% and 9.6% of the individuals, affecting 11.4%, 4.4% and 1.2% of the teeth per individual, respectively. After adjustments, there was a significant association of CAL ≥4 mm with males, over 55 years of age, low education, visible plaque, irregular self-care, lack of oral hygiene guidance and reported systemic disease. For CAL ≥6 mm, there was a higher odds ratio for the variables age group and systemic disease. Conclusion The population group studied presented low extension and severity of CAL, possibly due to the sample characteristics. The risk associations found confirm the need for comprehensive patient care, including encouraging prevention and control of chronic diseases, along with specific oral hygiene guidelines.

title: Fluoride release and surface roughness of a new glass ionomer cement: glass carbomer

description: Abstract Objective This study analyzed the fluoride release/recharge and surface roughness of glass carbomer compared to other encapsulated glass ionomer cements (GICs). Material and method The GICs tested were Glass Fill® (GC-GCP Dental), Riva Self Cure® (RS-SDI), Riva Light Cure® (RL-SDI), Equia Fil® (EF-GC Europe). The composite resin Luna® (LU-SDI) was used as control. Five samples of each material were prepared and kept in a humidifier for 24 hours (37 °C, 100% relative humidity). Fluoride release was measured in two times: before (T1: days 1, 2, 7, 14) and after topical application of fluoride (T2: days 15, 16, 21 and 28). The surface roughness was also measured in both times (T1: days 1 and 14; T2: days 15 and 28). All samples were submitted to a single topical application of acidulated fluoride phosphate (Fluor Care - FGM). Two-way ANOVA with repeated measures and Tukey's post-test (p &lt;0.05) were used in the statistical analysis. Result Equia Fil presented the highest fluoride release in both evaluation periods, with a higher release in T1 (p &lt;0.05). The other materials tested, including glass carbomer presented similar release in both periods (T1 and T2). Regarding surface roughness, no significant differences were observed in the interaction between the material × time factors (T1 and T2) (p=0.966). Conclusion The GICs tested presented fluoride release and recharge ability and showed no surface roughness increase by topical application of fluoride.

title: The Bolsa Família Program and health conditionalities: challenges of intergovernmental and intersectoral coordination

description: ABSTRACT The existence of health conditionalities in income transfer programs is controversial and requires coordination between social areas. The aim of the study was to discuss the health conditionalities of the Bolsa Família Program, considering national guidelines and the intergovernmental and intersectoral relations. It involved literature review, documental analysis, analysis of secondary data and twenty interviews. Frailties have been observed in the relations between levels of government and sectors in the program management. There was no evidence that the existence and monitoring of health conditionalities per se contributes to the right to health and interruption of the cycle of poverty.

title: CHARACTERIZATION OF FOOD Athene cunicularia (STRIGIFORMES: STRIGIDAE) (BURROWING OWL)

description: Abstract The aim of the proposal was to characterize the diet of Athene cunicularia by analysis of bezoars (regurgitation) in 15 burrows mapped in 10 acres campus UFRB in Cruz das Almas, Bahia. The regurgitations were subjected to treatments for identifying the percentage of each list item (vertebrates, invertebrates, plant material and stones). They were then subjected to treatments for identifying of items present. The analysis revealed that the feeding owls were composed of leaves, twigs, seeds, and many beetles and scarabaeidae lizard ameiva ossicles, and the presence of frogs (Bufo sp.) Without head and bone fragments rodents (Mus musculus, Rattus norvegicus and Rattus rattus). This power is varied under the influence of greater or lesser presence of people in the areas of the holes. By observation of behavioral attitudes, you can see that the parents have demonstrated protective action in relation to cub and burrows through the emission of sounds and overflights near the invaders.

title: Dentoskeletal and aesthetic effects of mandibular protraction appliance (MPA) using Ricketts analysis

description: Abstract Objective This study was designed to evaluate the skeletal, dental and soft tissue effects of mandibular deficiency treatment with the mandibular protraction appliance (MPA) using 12 factors of the Ricketts analysis. Material and method This cross-sectional retrospective study sample consisted of a group (n = 27), with Class II malocclusion, convex facial profile, increased horizontal trespass and mandibular deficiency, with initial mean age of 12.27 and final of 15.18 years, treated with fixed appliance combined with the MPA, in an average time of 2.9 years. Initial and final radiographs were investigated using Ricketts analysis. The dependent t-test was used to compare the initial and final phases of the MPA group, with a significance level of 5%. Result Statistically significant differences were observed for dental changes such as retrusion (p=0.000) and palatal inclination of the maxillary incisors (p=0.000); protrusion (p=0.000) and buccal inclination of the mandibular incisors (p=0.000); increased interincisal angle (p=0.002) and improved molar ratio (p=0.003). There was also a restriction of the anterior displacement of the maxilla (p=0.000) and a decrease in the mandibular plane angle (p=0.024). The variable inferior labial protrusion with significance (p=0.000), reiterated the improvement in the profile. Conclusion The effects of MPA on correction of malocclusion Class II, verified by Ricketts analysis occurred predominantly by dentoalveolar changes, decrease in the Mandibular Plane Angle, and restriction of anterior displacement of the maxilla, which contributed to the improvement in the patient's profile.

title: BETWEEN CONTINENTS: AGATHA CHRISTIE’S TRANSLATIONS AS INTERCULTURAL MEDIATORS

description: Abstract Agatha Christie’s trajectory in the Brazilian literary polysystem serves as an illustration of how translated literature can demonstrate the complexity of intercultural mediation, with books and authors acting as agents that interconnect several cultures in a far-reaching and even unexpected web of relations. Three apparently simple aspects of the interaction in this case are introduced to the reader (the importation of Agatha Christie from England to Brazil, her exportation from Brazil to Portugal and, finally, the nuancing of her presence within Brazilian Portuguese language and culture). Specific examples of these aspects show how translated literature can provide insight into the dynamic interfaces between and within different cultures.

title: Stratigraphy and structure of Cerro Jarau: new proposal

description: The Cerro do Jarau structure is located near the town of Quaraí, in the Rio Grande do Sul state, close to the international boundary with Uruguay. This circular feature has a diameter with approximately 8 km, presents some evidence of an origin by a meteoritic impact. It is located in the Paraná Basin and characterized by a central area with occurrence of sandstone surrounded by basalts of Serra Geral Formation. Previous works considered the structure as a dome-shaped feature. The objective of this paper is to present new data on the stratigraphy and structure of the Cerro Jarau, showing that the sandstones are structurally and stratigraphically overlying the basalts and both units exhibit centripetal dips. The structure of Cerro Jarau is therefore a basin-like feature and not a dome as admitted in previous studies.

title: Characterization of patients and procedures performed in the service to patients with special needs of Araraquara School of Dentistry – UNESP

description: AbstractObjectiveTo characterize the patients and dental procedures performed in Service to Patients with Special Needs of Araraquara School of Dentistry (FOAr) – UNESP.MethodologyFrom the dental records of patients treated at outpatient basis between 2007 and 2013, information regarding age at the beginning of treatment, type of disability, controlled medications used, number of dental sessions, and number and type of dental procedures performed was obtained.ResultOf the 232 records analyzed, more than half of the patients (56.0%) had mental retardation, cerebral palsy or congenital abnormalities caused by infectious agents associated with mental retardation. Among the congenital abnormalities, the most prevalent was the Down syndrome (9.9%). Only 20% of patients started treatment before the age of ten and 62.0% used anticonvulsants, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, antidepressants and antiepileptics. A total of 4,506 dental procedures were performed, 37.6% were preventive procedures and 62.4% curative procedures (restorative, 28.0%; periodontal, 13.9%; endodontic, 9.7%; surgical, 9.1%, and prosthetic 1.7%). Also was observed that for most patients (63%) up to 10 sessions were required for the completion of treatment.ConclusionMost patients with special needs who sought dental treatment at FOAr presented neurological involvement. Despite this service prioritize preventive procedures; most of the procedures carried out were curative, fact directly linked to late search for the dental treatment.

title: Rapid response of hypercortisolism to vandetanib treatment in a patient with advanced medullary thyroid cancer and ectopic Cushing syndrome

description: Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) may rarely present with paraneoplastic syndromes. Among the most frequent ones are the appearance of diarrhea and ectopic Cushing syndrome (ECS). The ECS in the context of MTC is usually present in patients with distant metastatic disease. The use of drugs such as ketoconazole, metyrapone, somatostatin analogs and etomidate have been ineffective alternatives to control hypercortisolism in these patients. Bilateral adrenalectomy is often required to manage this situation. Recently, the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors has been shown to be a useful tool to achieve eucortisolism in patients with metastatic MTC and ECS. We present a patient with sporadic advanced persistent and progressive MTC with lymph node and liver metastases, which after 16 years of follow-up developed an ECS. After one month of 300 mg/day vandetanib treatment, a biochemical and clinical response of the ECS was achieved but it did not result in significant reduction of tumor burden. However the patient reached criteria for stable disease according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST 1.1) after 8 months of follow-up.

title: Sedimentary architecture and depositional evolution of the Quaternary coastal plain of Maricá, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

description: The coastal geomorphology of Maricá (Rio de Janeiro state) is characterized by a large lagoon and by two sandy barriers that confine a series of small isolated chain-like lagoons. Data collected from ground-penetrating radar and boreholes from the central coastal plain of Maricá provided information on the sedimentary architecture and evolution of this area in the Quaternary. Six lithological units were identified comprising three depositional sequences limited by erosional surfaces, related to barrier-lagoon systems that migrated onshore, offshore, and longshore, giving rise to a sedimentary deposit 25 m thick or more. The data reveal a retrograding barrier overlying a basal mud unit which rests in unconformity upon Precambrian basement, thus characterizing an important Pleistocene transgression. A second Pleistocene barrier of 45,000 cal years BP migrated over a lagoonal mud unit (48,000-45,000 cal years BP) reaching over the previous barrier. A progradational phase followed due to a fall of sea level. A long interval of erosion of the barrier created an unconformity that represents the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary. A beachrock in nearby Itaipuaçu, 100 m offshore from the present-day beach, dated as 8,500 cal years BP marks the onset of Holocene sedimentation due to gradually rising sea level, which continued until at about 5,000 years ago. This promoted the retrogradation of the barrier-lagoon system. A brief episode of progradation is observed as a series of paleobeach scarps. Today's rising sea level is causing the retrogradation of the barrier.
