title: Training Model for Intrauterine Device Insertion

description: ABSTRACT Introduction Learning by practicing exclusively on patients is becoming increasingly unacceptable in medical training. Simulation-based teaching is a tool capable of generating skills and competences efficiently and in a controlled environment, without causing harm to patients. Gynecology is a medical specialty that depends on well-structured training; an important gynecological procedure is the insertion of copper intrauterine devices. In order to increase the supply of this contraceptive method to the population the relevant health professionals need to be adequately trained. Physical simulators imitate reality and assist in skills acquisition. Therefore, structured training based on simulation to teach the insertion of intrauterine devices is of fundamental importance to the teaching of gynecology. Objective To develop a training model for skills acquisition for the insertion of intrauterine devices. Method A simulator (utility model) was developed for the insertion of intrauterine devices, composed of a rigid rectangular base made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, measuring 17 cm x 15 cm x 21 cm and weighing 420 g. Attached to this support is a semi-flexible structure made of flexible polylactic acid, composed of a prototype vaginal canal, with a uterine cervix and vulvar region, similar to the human anatomy. Fifteen gynecology and obstetrics residents were selected for theoretical and practical training with the simulator proposed by the study for the training of intrauterine copper device insertion. The simulator used in this study was evaluated by specialists in gynecology and obstetrics, who validated it for use in teaching. Results A statistically significant improvement was found in the evaluated parameters, comparing the initial evaluation and the final evaluation of the residents, whose final performances displayed homogeneity. In the initial evaluation only 40% of the devices were well positioned, in contrast to a 93.3% rate of successfull insertion following implementation of the training model. Conclusion A training model was developed to simulate the performance of copper intrauterine device insertion and contributed to the acquisition of skills for this task when applied to gynecology and obstetrics residents.

title: FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH ASTHMA IN BRAZILIAN ADOLESCENTS: NATIONAL ADOLESCENT SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH SURVEY (PENSE-2012)

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To identify factors associated with asthma in Brazilian adolescents. Methods: Cross-sectional study based on data from the 2012 National Adolescent School-based Health Survey (PeNSE), a Brazilian survey applied by a self-reported questionnaire in a representative sample of 9th-grade students. Descriptive and inferential analysis was made based on the demographic, socioeconomic, clinical, food consumption and environmental characteristics potentially associated with asthma. Adolescents who presented wheezing in the last 12 months were considered asthmatic. A multiple logistic regression model was adjusted for confounding factors. Significance was defined as p≤0.05. Results: A total of 106,983 adolescents were studied. The prevalence of asthma was 23.2%. The final model was composed of 11 variables that were independently associated with asthma: female sex (OR=1.17), &lt;14 years old (OR=1.12), not living with parents (OR=1.06), the highest number of days consuming ultra-processed foods (OR=1.16), lunch or dinner time without presence of parents or guardians (OR=1.13), meals in front of the TV or while studying (OR=1.18), not having breakfast frequently (OR=1.22), having smoked cigarettes (OR=1.36), having tried alcoholic beverage (OR=1.37), having used illicit drugs (OR=1.29) and having sought health care in the last year (OR=1.67). Conclusions: The results of the present study reinforce the multifactorial characteristic of asthma diagnosis. Prevention and control strategies should focus on groups of adolescents living in inadequate conditions when it comes to family dynamics, food consumption and behavior (drug use).

title: Pulmonary Hypertension in General Cardiology Practice

description: Abstract The finding of pulmonary hypertension (PH) by echocardiography is common and of concern. However, echocardiography is just a suggestive and non-diagnostic assessment of PH. When direct involvement of pulmonary circulation is suspected, invasive hemodynamic monitoring is recommended to establish the diagnosis. This assessent provides, in addition to the diagnostic confirmation, the correct identification of the vascular territory predominantly involved (arterial pulmonary or postcapillary). Treatment with specific medication for PH (phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, endothelin receptor antagonists and prostacyclin analogues) has been proven effective in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, but its use in patients with PH due to left heart disease can even be damaging. In this review, we discuss the diagnosis criteria, how etiological investigation should be carried out, the clinical classification and, finally, the therapeutic recommendations for PH.

title: Timing and growing conditions of nitrogen topdressing influence the grain yield and protein content of four wheat cultivars

description: ABSTRACT The application of an adequate rate and splitting of nitrogen is essential for wheat grain yield and protein content. The aim of this work was to adjust nitrogen management approaches regarding agronomic performance and protein content of wheat cultivars in various environments. Field experiments were conducted under no-tillage system on soybean mulch during the 2011 and 2012 growing seasons in Londrina and Pato Branco regions. The experimental design was a randomized block in split plot with four replicates. Four wheat cultivars (IPR Catuara TM, BRS Gaivota, Quartzo, CD 120) were tested with six nitrogen (N) management forms. Were evaluated: number of ears per unit area (NEA); plant height (PH); thousand-kernel weight (TKW); test weight (TW); grain yield (GY); and protein content (PC). The combined ANOVA (p ? 0.01) and Tukey’s test (p ? 0.01) were used. The interaction between cultivars and environments influence all yield components, GY and PC. The interaction management forms of N and environments affected the TKW, NEA, GY and PC. The results showed that in low-rainfall environments, nitrogen topdressing could be suppressed with no negative effects on GY or PC. Under ideal weather conditions, the GY of wheat cultivars was enhanced on application of 60 kg.ha–1 N of urea at the beginning of tillering as well 20 kg.ha–1 of N at booting. Matching the appropriate cultivars to the ideal growth environment is essential for achieving high GY values. The nitrogen forms on the topdressing do not influence the PC of cultivars in Pato Branco.

title: São Luiz do Paraitinga: A Foundational Imaginary and Its Projections

description: ABSTRACT The article discusses the way the founding history of São Luiz do Paraitinga, stablished to the Morgado de Mateus administration in the old Province of São Paulo, was repeatedly used as an argument in the city's heritage listing processes as well as in the creation of its residents' memories. The article also analyzes other physical and historical characteristics of the region that are present in the imaginaries of the city. Despite its location in the Vale do Paraíba, the city only received a relatively mild influence of the coffee culture, because there is not an expressive set of monumental buildings as in other cities of the region. Among other reasons, the difficult access contributed to curb the financial development of São Luiz do Paraitinga between the end of the XIX and the beginning of the XX Centuries. The city strived to find an alternative in its cultural heritage and its touristic potential. An unexpected event, the flood that occurred in 2010, brought reflections on how to use the tradition and memory as support to reconstruct the city physically and morally, with the purpose of maintaining its identity. The article also makes a reflection about the limits of listings to preserve urban ensembles, which discussions and acts should be made in the realm of territorial planning and of management.

title: Help chain: guidelines for design and operation in Lean Production Systems

description: Abstract Lean production aims at operational improvement by the elimination of waste and variability reduction. The lean practice known as help chain, which contributes to the lean goals is an underexplored topic. Thus, the objective of this paper is to propose guidelines regarding the help chain design and operation by addressing issues related to the definition of the events that need support from the chain and selection of the members to be involved. The proposed guidelines involve seven steps: (i) delimitation and evaluation of the scenario of application; (ii) identification and classification of abnormalities; (iii) identification of the types and contents of visual devices; (iv) identification of agents involved in the help chain; (v) definition of the operating logic of the help chain; (vi) training and qualification; and (vii) application and evaluation of the results. A partial application in the printing department of a tobacco’s manufacturer plant is a basis for discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the guidelines.

title: Local genotypes of dog rose from Interior Aegean region of Turkey as a unique source of pro-health compounds

description: ABSTRACT Rosehip, Rosa canina L. fruit, is valued for its flavor, taste, color and aroma, in accordance with its recognition as one of richest sources of pro-health compounds. Screening, preservation and propagation of the most valuable local populations of rosehip are performed for food, pharmacological, and cosmetic applications. Eleven native R. canina genotypes from the Interior Aegean region, Turkey, were collected and analyzed regarding organic acids, phenolic compounds, sugars, and DPPH scavenging activity within this study. Regarding biochemical profile of fruits, protocatechuic acid and quercitrin were the most dominant compounds among 12 identified phenolics. The dominant organic acids were malic and citric and fructose and glucose were the dominant sugars. There was no correlation between DPPH scavenging activity and the analyzed chemicals in fruits. Although levels of certain compounds varied significantly between consecutive years, the ranking of genotypes according to the levels of particular chemicals was maintained. Generally, the most promising chemotype regarding biological value was 64US03. The chemical composition and the presence of bioactive compounds make the native to Interior Aegean R. canina genotypes a valuable source of bioactive agents preventing oxidative-stress related diseases.
