title: Swing time as a predictive variable for Parkinson’s disease

description: ABSTRACT Currently, Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is diagnosed based only on the clinical observation of a combination of symptoms, which can lead to late diagnosis, since some individuals may have the disease for 5 to 10 years before being diagnosed. The aim was to identify temporal kinematic variables of walking, capable of discriminating elderly people with and without PD. 40 individuals were divided into two groups: elderly group without PD (n=21) and with PD (n=19). Ten consecutive gait cycles were obtained during walking at a preferred speed and used for data analysis. A discriminative analysis was performed to determine a predictor model of gait changes, characteristic of PD and calculated based on the specificity and sensitivity of each variable analyzed, using temporal kinematic variables. The variable with discriminative value of sensitivity and specificity was the time of balance, which can be classified as the variable with most predictive potential of the presence or not of PD, and the cut of found for this variable was 0,48 seconds. The kinematic gait analysis allows to discriminate a group of individuals with PD from a group of healthy individuals with high sensitivity and specificity, through the time of balance that is lower in the group affected by the disease (cut of 0,48 seconds).

title: Ozone slows down anthracnose and increases shelf life of papaya fruits

description: Abstract This study investigated the effect of ozone on papaya postharvest conservation, aiming at controlling anthracnose and increasing fruit shelf life. The experiment was conducted at the Laboratory of Product Technology, Federal University of Amazonas, Manaus-AM. Fruits were treated with 0; 0.6; 1.5 and 3.3 ppm ozone and commercial fungicide. They were then stored at room temperature (27 ± 2 °C and 65 ± 5% RH). Incidence, severity, number and size of anthracnose lesions were determined, as well as postharvest quality by assessing shelf life; accumulated and daily fresh mass loss (%), peel color, electrolyte leakage (%), soluble solids (%), titratable acidity (g 100 g-1), soluble solids / titratable acidity ratio, pH and vitamin C (mg 100 g-1). Ozone reduced anthracnose severity in the short (3.3 ppm) and long term (1.5 ppm), making it as effective as a commercial fungicide. Ozone increased shelf life by seven days and maintained the postharvest quality of papaya fruits. Thus, ozone becomes a potential technology for postharvest use as a safe alternative to the use of pesticides in reducing anthracnose and increasing shelf life of papaya fruits.

title: Creation and validation of an educational booklet on fundamental pelvic exercises for women with urinary incontinence

description: ABSTRACT Female urinary incontinence is a multifactorial condition characterized by involuntary urinary loss. For its control, strengthening the pelvic floor muscles is necessary. Thus, the guidance provided through available educational material is an essential tool to facilitate the dissemination of knowledge and acceptance by the population. The study aims to create and to validate an educational booklet on fundamental pelvic exercises for women with urinary incontinence. This is a methodological study that was submitted to six expert evaluators in the area, for the content validity of the material using the Content Validity Index (CVI). Afterward, for validation with the target population, the booklet was applied to 30-women users of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) and who underwent gynecological monitoring in health units. The CVI of the educational booklet ranged from 0.71 to 1.00. The evaluators made observations regarding the appearance and content of the booklet, which were accepted for the final version. In the pretest, women understood the images and the text, 83.3% of them judged the cover as attractive and all women agreed that the sequence, organizational structure, and understanding of the sentences were adequate. The illustrations were easy to understand and 100% agreed that the necessary subjects were fully addressed and the majority (96.6%) were motivated to read. The elaborated instrument proved to be effective for its use, because it meets the reality and the health need.

title: Functionality of family of the patients with chronic obstructive lung disease

description: ABSTRACT Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is highly limiting, both physically and socio-emotionally, causing significant difficulties in the daily lives of patients. In addition, COPD also influences the lives of family and friends, because theirs who come to the support network that patient need. Objective: To evaluate the family functionality in the daily life of COPD patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated the family functionality in COPD patients with different stages of disease and underwent Cardiorespiratory Rehabilitation Program (CRP). The Family APGAR instrument was used and it is an acronym characterized by A = (Adaptation / Adaptation), P = (Partnership / Companionship), G = (Grow / Development), A = (Affection / Affectivity), R = (Resolve / Resolving capacity), composed of 5 questions assessed in “always”, “sometimes” and “never”, which together result in “high family dysfunction”, moderate family dysfunction “and” good family functionality”. We evaluated 21 COPD patients [male gender (n = 11; 52.3%); mean age 66.3 ± 10 years], status disease between moderate to very severe. Through of the Family APGAR we identified 2 patients with high family dysfunction; 2 patients with moderate family dysfunction; 17 patients with good family functionality. Among those who reported high and moderate family dysfunction, the most compromised acromia’s were “companionship”, “affection” and “developments”. The degree of airway obstruction was moderately and positively associated with family functionality (r = 0.697; p = 0.004). Patients with COPD who participated in CRP had good family functionality in their daily lives and the severity of the disease was associated with this functionality. Patients with high family dysfunction reported lack of “companionship”, “affection” and “developments”.

title: Persistence of behavioral abnormalities following corticosteroid therapy in children with initial episode of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome: a prospective longitudinal observation

description: Abstract Introduction: Treatment of nephrotic syndrome with corticosteroid can cause several side- effects including behavioral abnormalities. The objectives of the study were to observe the proportion of non-relapsers having persistence of behavioral abnormalities after completion of treatment of initial episode and compare the abnormalities with relapsers, and to determine risk factors for persistence. Methods: Seventy-five children with a first episode of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome and 60 normal children were rated by parents for behavioral problems using the Child Behavior Checklist. The Parenting Stress Index was also evaluated. The children were rated before treatment and 12 and 36 weeks after. Results: Both relapsers and non-relapsers showed abnormalities in internalizing and externalizing domains at 12 weeks of steroid therapy. Non-relapsers had abnormal scores in the internalizing domain in 63.5 % and externalizing domain in 48.1% of cases at 36 weeks. Relapsers had abnormal scores in all the three behavior domains, but a significantly higher proportion of relapsers had abnormal scores regarding total behavior (65.2% vs 28.8%, p&lt;0.01) and child domains (100% vs 57.7%, p&lt;0.001) of Parenting Stress Index in comparison to non-relapsers at 36 weeks. Occurrence of relapse increased the risk (odds ratio 5.76, 95% CI 1.35-10.76, p&lt; 0.001) for persistence of abnormal total behavior at 36 weeks follow-up. Conclusion: Persistence of abnormalities was observed not only in relapsers but also in non-relapsers. Relapse was found to be a significant risk factor for persistence of abnormal behaviors in these patients.

title: Effects of auriculotherapy with mustard seeds on chronic low back pain of nursing professionals

description: ABSTRACT More than 60% of nursing workers have an episode of low back pain for one year, causing a negative socioeconomic impact, as this is one of the major causes of absence from work. Auriculotherapy is a low-cost, non-invasive acupuncture technique that uses the auricular pavilion as a microsystem of the human organism mapped by points that when stimulated can treat several ailments. Thus, this study aims to verify the efficacy of mustard seed (Brassica juncea) auriculotherapy in alleviating pain, improving functionality and lumbar mobility of female technical professionals and nursing assistants with chronic low back pain. A blind randomized clinical trial was conducted with two groups: one group used mustard seeds for acupressure in the ear points “Shen-Men,” “Kidney,” “Sympathetic,” and “Lumbar Spine”; the placebo group used low density polyurethane foam in place of seeds. Each group performed four auriculotherapy sessions, one per week. The groups were analyzed using infrared thermograms and pressure algometry for pain, finger-floor measurement for mobility and Roland-Morris Questionnaire for spine functionality, with a 95% confidence interval. Mustard seed auriculotherapy reduced the average temperature in the thermograms analyzed by 0.8 °C, as well as increased the pain threshold to lumbar spine pressure of the volunteers by 0.4 Kgf, which shows a significant improvement of low back pain. Therefore, mustard seed auriculotherapy was effective in alleviating low back pain.
