title: Is There Any Change in Inflammatory Markers in Medical Students after Participating in a Mind-Body Program?

description: ABSTRACT Introduction Medical students are exposed to high stress levels, triggered by having to deal with their illness and death of their patients, extensive workloads, sleep deprivation, competition, having to fulfil demanding duties, responsibility, and fear of making mistakes, among other factors. Some techniques and practices, such as meditation, are used in medical schools to help manage and reduce stress. Stress can activate components of the inflammatory system, triggering a series of pathologies. The disorders caused by stress can be measured by means of serological markers, with biological markers being the main ones used. Objective. To evaluate the effects of a program of mind-body practices, Reduction of Stress and Development of Empathy in Medicine (REDEMED ©), on pro- and anti-inflammatory markers of medical students. Methodology This is a quasi-experimental study, composed of 86 students: 44 in the intervention group, who participated in the REDMED© program with eight-weekly meetings that included meditation techniques and exercises of interpersonal experiences, and 42 students in the control group. Before and after the course, blood was collected from both groups for analysis of the markers: C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-6 (IL06) and interleukin-10 (IL10). Results No statistically significant changes were observed in the proinflammatory cytokines CRP, TNF-α and IL06. However, IL-10, an anti-inflammatory cytokine, showed a positive and statistically significant variation (p: 0.009). It has been used in studies with integrative and complementary practices to demonstrate its benefits. Conclusion The REDEMED© program seems to benefit medical students through inflammatory modulation and as a group that provides a forum to share their stress and receive coaching in coping strategies. This study, even though it did not find a statistically significant difference in the markers studied, with the exception of IL10, raises the important theme of the high levels of stress that medical students experience, and the need for medical schools to take greater care of their students, addressing stress in order better manage it in their own lives.

title: Mental Calculus and Arithmetic Teaching in Schools in Rio de Janeiro at the End of the 19th Century

description: Abstract Mental calculus has been considered a didactic resource valued in Brazil, especially since 1990, with the publication of documents that reinforced its importance for Mathematics teaching in elementary education. However, suggestions for its use are already present in the curricular recommendations for elementary and secondary education since the 19th century. Incorporated into guidelines for arithmetic, mental calculus appears in the wake of proposals for teaching renewal together with the intuitive method ideas, beginning in the 1870s. In this text, the objective is to investigate how mental calculus was present in the prescriptions for the arithmetic teaching and how it was implemented in the teachers practice in schools in Rio de Janeiro. It is intended to highlight the importance of mental calculus in arithmetic teaching in the late nineteenth century in official documents and how mental calculus was presented in didactic works, programs and teaching materials.

title: Cinematisms/babilaques/readings

description: Abstratc The aim of this paper is first to read Waly Salomão’s Babilaques by referring to Sergei Eisenstein's theories of cinematism and of ecstasy, which he developed regarding cinema and other art forms. The babilaques consist of a series of photographs of notebooks in which handwriting, pictures and poetry come together under different effects of lighting and shading. Josefina Ludmer and Florencia Garramuño’s critiques are also referred to in my analysis. Secondly, I will examine two or three babilaques so that I may demonstrate how they put together different art forms. Finally, I will argue that the babilaques and the procedures utilized relate to our present, even though they are decades old.

title: Computer assisted fish karyotyping

description: ABSTRACT Fish karyotyping plays an important role in studies of cytotaxonomy and chromosomic evolution of species. However, few semi or completely automated fish karyotyping systems are available. This work proposes and evaluates an image-based tool to assist fish karyotyping. The analyzed species were Hopliasmalabaricus (Bloch, 1794), Hypostomusancistroides (Ihering, 1911), and Parauchenipterusgaleatus (Linnaeus, 1766). In Portuguese, these species are commonly referred to as traíra, cascudo, and bagresapo, respectively. A total of 100 metaphases were analyzed through two methods: (1) semi-automatic karyotype generation and (2) automatic karyotype generation. The results were analyzed using Pearson correlation, difference graphs and counting tables. The reference used for the evaluation of the system was the average of the counts made by four experts. In method 1, four users performed counts with interobserver correlation of r≥ 0.997. The total number of chromosomes identified by method 1 was 4348 and method 2 was 4135, excluding false positives, resulting in an automatic identification of approximately 95,1% of the chromosomes, resulting in a correlation between the methods of r= 0.93. The results indicate that the tool can be introduced for fish karyotyping procedures contributing for accelerating the process with acceptable accuracy.

title: A critical literature review on emotional intelligence in addiction

description: Abstract Introduction Emotional intelligence (EI) has been defined as the ability to perceive, understand, use and manage emotions. Studying EI could potentially be useful in understanding addictive behaviors as well as for designing and planning interventions. Objectives To conduct a critical review on EI impairment in addiction disorders. Methods MEDLINE/PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane, LILACS, and SciELO databases were searched. Articles that used the standardized Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) instrument to assess EI in people with addictions and healthy controls were selected for the review. Results We selected seven articles assessing EI and its associations with addiction disorders, mainly alcohol abuse and cocaine dependence. Most studies reported that individuals with addiction disorders had worse EI scores when compared to controls. Conclusion Overall, the studies reviewed demonstrated that addictions are associated with EI deficits, compared to controls. However, aspects such as the small number of addictive disorders analyzed, methodological issues related to instruments for assessment of IE and the lack of follow-up remain significant limitations.

title: Suprapubic laparoscopic cholecystectomy: technique and preliminary results

description: Background : The minimally invasive abdominal surgery has evolved to reduce portals, culminating with a single incision and natural orifice operation. However, these methods are still expensive, difficult to implement and with questionable aesthetic results. Aim : To present the standardization and preliminary results of a technique for performing laparoscopic suprapubic access by the principle which was called the Supra Pubic Endoscopic Surgery for cholecystectomy. Method : The average body mass index of patients, the mean operative time, clinical data of the postoperative complications and quality of life were prospectively studied. The operation incisions consisted of: A) umbilical for instrumental dissection and clipping; B) in the right groin for handling and gallbladder gripping; C) suprapubic for the camera. With the patient in reverse Trendelenburg and left lateral decubitus, the operation flew by the camera trocar in C, proceeding with dissection and isolation of the biliary pedicle, identification of cystic duct and artery, with usual instrumentation. Transcystic intraoperative cholangiography was performed in all cases in which there were indications. The procedure was completed with clipping and sectioning of the cystic duct and artery, retrograde resection of the gallbladder and extracting it by the umbilical trocar incision under direct vision. Results : Thirty patients undergone this surgical procedure between March and June 2012 and were evaluated. The mean age was 40.7 years and the indications were typical biliary colic in 18 cases (60 %), cholecystitis in five cases (16.6 %), biliary pancreatitis in one case (3.3%); polyp in three cases (10%) and obstructive jaundice at three cases (10%). The average body mass index was 27.8 (23.1-35.1) and surgical time ranged between 24 and 70 minutes. Conclusion : The technique proved to be feasible and safe , with no significant complications, and satisfactory cosmetic results.

title: THE CONCEPT OF VALENCE IN GENERAL CHEMISTRY TEXTBOOKS FROM THE 1890s TO THE 1940s

description: This paper aims to investigate the presentation of the concept of valence in college-level, general chemistry textbooks published in the USA between the 1890s and the 1940s. The delimited period covers the emergence of theories about atomic structure, electronic distribution and chemical bonding. Transition from the classical concept of valence (as the combining power of a chemical element), which resulted from either the analysis of formulas of compounds or experimental results, into the concept related to the electronic structure of elements, according to which the valence is determined by the number of electrons in the last shell, was observed. In general, valence was presented in textbooks in order to serve as an instrument for the writing of formulas of compounds, and historical approaches to the construction of the concept were not contemplated by the authors.

title: Effect of different timing of exposure to heat and strains on the carcass yield and breast chemical composition of broiler

description: ABSTRACT The effects of different exposure periods under heat on the carcass yield, cuts and edible organs and breast chemical composition of broilers from two strains were investigated. Five hundred and sixty Cobb 500 Slow® and 560 Hubbard Flex® broiler chicks were housed in 32 pens and from the 14th day on, they were divided in thermal environments: control, 1 hour, 2 hours or 3 hours a day under heat stress. Carcass yield, boneless breast, thigh and drumstick with bone, wings, feet, liver, gizzard and heart were evaluated in six birds of each strain in each thermal environment. Samples were obtained to assess dry matter, ether extract, crude protein and mineral matter. The cyclic heat stress for up to three hours a day did not influence 33 the carcass yield, boneless breast, thigh and drumstick, wing, heart, gizzard, liver, and the breast chemical composition. Cobb 500 Slow® strain had higher breast yield. Hubbard Flex® had breast with higher percentage of mineral matter and protein. Cobb strain is best designed to breast production, and Hubbard is best for whole chicken production.

title: BONE MINERAL DENSITY AND BODY COMPOSITION IN ELDERLY RUNNERS: SIX-YEAR FOLLOW-UP

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition over a six-year period in elderly long-distance runners. Methods: We analyzed the medical records of elderly athletes who were long-distance runners, were participants of the IOT-HCFMUSP Orthogeriatric Group, and had their BMD evaluated between 2001 and 2007; of these athletes, 11 were included in the study. Inclusion criteria: athletes should be long-distance runners, should not stop long-distance running during the six-year period, and should have undergone BMD and body composition evaluations. Body composition was evaluated using bone densitometry with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry with a Lunar-DPX device. Results: Over the six-year period, body composition remained stable, but there was a significant increase only in the fat percentage (p = 0.003). Conclusion: Long-distance running may maintain BMD but may lead to an increase in the fat percentage in elderly runners. Level of Evidence II; Prognostic Study - Investigating the Effect of Patient Characteristics on Disease Outcome.

title: Relevant characteristics of facilities and management of public animal shelters in the state of paraná, Brazil, for animal welfare

description: ABSTRACT Animals may be eventually collected by public shelters in Brazil and the shelter’s environment directly affects their quality of life. This work studied relevant characteristics of the physical facilities and the management of establishments liked to the municipal public power that shelter dogs, cats and horses in the state of Paraná. It was registered 17 municipalities with 20 shelters, of which 18 participated in the research. All the municipalities maintained dogs, seven (41.2%) maintained cats and eight (47.1%) kept horses. All the shelters had social housing; two (11.8%) of dogs and five (71.5%) of cats housing one animal per pen; four (22,2%) there were pens that didn’t have visualization for outside; 11 (64.7%) had cleaning correctly; five (29.4%) shelters that sheltered dogs and one (14.3%) that sheltered cats didn’t have area for quarantine and isolation restroom; beds were available in 15 (88.2%), five (71.4%) and one (12.5%) of the pens of dogs, cats and horses, respectively. Animal shelters in Paraná should ban pens isolation, include one bedding per animal and socialize the animals. In addition, there is an opportunity to increase the animal welfare through improvements in animal management and sanitary management, which do not depend on the housing improvements.
