title: SOA-BD: Service Oriented Architecture for Biomedical Devices

description: Introduction: The communication of information systems with biomedical devices has become complex not only due to the existence of several private communication protocols, but also to the immutable way that software is embedded into these devices. In this sense, this paper proposes a service-oriented architecture to access biomedical devices as a way to abstract the mechanisms of writing and reading data from these devices, thus contributing to enable the focus of the development team of biomedical software to be intended for its functional requirements, i.e. business rules relevant to the problem domain. Methods The SOA-BD architecture consists of five main components: A Web Service for transport and conversion of the device data, Communication Protocols to access the devices, Data Parsers to preprocess data, a Device Repository to store data and transmitted information and Error handling, for error handling of these information. For the development of SOA-BD, technologies such as the XML language and the Java programming language were used. Besides, Software Engineering concepts such as Design Patterns were also used. For the validation of this work, data has been collected from vital sign monitors in an Intensive Care Unit using HL7 standards. Results The tests obtained a difference of about only 1 second in terms of response time with the use of SOA-BD. Conclusion SOA-BD achieves important results such as the reduction on the access protocol complexity, the opportunity for treating patients over long distances, allowing easier development of monitoring applications and interoperability with biomedical devices from diverse manufacturers.

title: MOBILIDADE ESPACIAL DOS IMIGRANTES ESTRANGEIROS NO BRASIL - 1991/2010

description: Abstract International and internal migration plays an important role in the formation of Brazilian territory. In the middle of the twentieth century, new waves of migration caused the most recent changes in the social and spatial dynamics of Brazil. Alongside traditional destinations' such as Japan and the United States, new internal population movements within South America have gained importance, including flows from the Brazilian territory. In light of such migratory dynamics, the main purpose of this paper is the lifting of different nationalities of international immigrants resident in Brazil and the analysis of differences in internal spatial mobility of those immigrants.

title: Synovial sarcoma: case report

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: Synovial sarcomas are rare and aggressive neoplasms located in the head and neck region and usually occurs in young adults. Presentation of case: This report presents a case of synovial sarcoma in a 15-year-old male patient who sought medical treatment for painful symptoms and associated dysphagia. The lesion was nodular, extensive, localized in the parotid region, and extended to the left cervical region. The patient was treated in a referral hospital with a treatment protocol that initially included chemotherapy for six months and surgery to attempt to excise the lesion, but the surgery was ineffective because removal could have damaged important vital structures. The Computed Tomography scan showed a hypodense area with diffuse growth and no involvement of the facial bones and the histopathological analysis revealed pleomorphic and oval spindle cells with rounded epithelial cells that formed nests surrounded by fibrous tissue. The Immunohistochemistry analysis was conclusive for the diagnosis of a high-grade SS in the parotid and left cervical regions. The medical team opted for palliative treatment with cervical radiotherapy. The patient remained hospitalized for four months after the surgery and died after 15 months since the diagnosis for compromise of airway by fast tumor growth. Conclusion: The synovial sarcoma, when diagnosed late may reduce the survival of patients because of the complications that tumor growth can bring to the prognosis and quality of life.

title: Carcass characteristics of Santa Ines sheep with different biotypes and slaughtering weights

description: SUMMARY This study evaluated the characteristics of carcass and commercial cuts of Santa Ines lambs of different biotypes (traditional and modern) slaughtered at 32 kg and 34 kg. The thirty-six Santa Ines sheep used, of which 18 traditional and 18 modern biotypes were on average 180 days old and weighed 16 kg initially. The animals were kept in individual stalls (0.80 × 1.20 m) until they reached the slaughtering weight. The experimental design was completely randomized, factorial 2×2 (two biotypes x two slaughtering weights). The traditional biotype influenced significantly (P&lt;0.05) the carcass yields, conformation, and marbling, compared to the modern biotype. The biotype did not influence (P&gt; 0.05) carcass morphometric measurements and commercial cuts. On the other hand, the 34-kg slaughtering weight affected most of carcass characteristics. The traditional biotype displayed higher yield, better conformation and greater amount of intramuscular fat in the carcass. The higher slaughtering weight influenced carcass characteristics and the amount of fat. Generally, the carcasses presented high muscle proportion and fat amount appropriate to the consumer.

title: Portuguese Migration to São Paulo in the second half of the 19 th century: A case study

description: Abstract The analysis of a unique migratory experience between Portugal (Beira / Lousã County) and the province of São Paulo (Espírito Santo do Pinhal region) presents some considerations about the demographic and social characteristics of the contingent of Lousanenses, who went to the Colonial Nucleus of Nova Lousã (founded in 1867).Based on the analysis of demographic data collected through the use of parish registers (baptism and marriage) from Vila da Lousã and Nova Lousã, crossed with different sources, it was intended to compare the specific profile of the population that emigrated to the colony in the interior of São Paulo (between the 1860s and 1880s), with the one that remained in the native land. We try to emphasize different behaviors of the population that immigrated, taking into account the new environment and the new conditions of life in the land in which these individuals were inserted.

title: Chemical and Energetic Properties of Amazonian Woods of the Second Cutting Cycle

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to determine the chemical and energetic properties of Bixa arborea, Protium apiculatum, and Rinorea guianensis woods in order to support the recovery of residues in the lumber production of these species, also considering the lack of studies on their technological properties. For this purpose, five trees of each species were collected and, subsequently, discs were removed from the height of 2 meters above surface; they were processed in wedges to obtain sawdust for analysis. The evaluation of the results was performed by the Tukey’s mean comparison test at 0.05% probability level. B. arborea was the species with the highest gross calorific value and lignin content, but lower specific gravity. P. apiculatum and R. guianesis showed chemical and energetic characteristics favorable to charcoal production and firewood.

title: HEALTH-RELATED PHYSICAL FITNESS AMONG UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to describe and analyze physical fitness of undergraduate students in Physical Education. The sample consisted of 110 women and 115 men. We evaluated weight, height, body mass index, percentage of body fat (BF), heart rate, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure, flexibility, strength and muscular endurance (ME). As main results we observed a higher percentage of women with body fat and ME above the ideal values for age when compared to men (BF: 37% vs 4%, p = 0.001; ME: 32% vs 13%, p = 0.001), while there were more men with changes in SBP when compared with women (22% vs 6%, p = 0.001). In conclusion, male students had higher levels of physical fitness than women, and a significant portion of undergraduate students in Physical Education showed results different than normal for anthropometric, hemodynamic and performance variables.

title: VARIABILITY AND RELIABILITY OF GAIT KINEMATIC PARAMETERS AFTER CONTROLLED TRIPPING IN OLDER ADULTS: A PRELIMINARY STUDY

description: ABSTRACT Approximately 21% of the falls in older adults occur due to tripping, while walking. There is a paucity of information regarding the gait variability and reliability when a tripping is induced in different days mainly with elderly. It was aimed to analyze the variability and the reliability (intra- and inter-day) of spatiotemporal gait parameters and joint angles after controlled tripping in older adults. Eight healthy older women participated. The trip was induced during the early-mid swing phase on the transposing segment and the kinematic data was obtained from trials. The variability and reliability of spatiotemporal gait parameters and joint angles during the gait cycle were checked through the coefficient of variation (CV), the intraclass coefficient correlation (ICC) and the standard error of measurement (SEM). The variability of spatiotemporal and intra- and inter-day angular parameters was low for most variables, except for plantar flexion. The SEM was low for all parameters. Intra-day reliability was moderate to high for the spatiotemporal and angular parameters. Inter-day reliability was considered low to moderate for all parameters. The variables did not differ between instants and days. Experimental procedures demonstrate that the walking pattern did not change, but should be considered with caution in studies that include intervention, particularly for angular parameters during gait.

title: Cognitive performance in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer's disease with white matter hyperintensities: An exploratory analysis

description: ABSTRACT. Background: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are commonly associated with vascular dementia and poor executive functioning. Notwithstanding, recent findings have associated WMH with Alzheimer's disease as well as other cognitive functions, but there is no consensus. Objective: This study aimed to verify the relationship between WMH and cognitive performance in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. The study also sought to identify cognitive and demographic/cultural factors that might explain variability of WMH. Methods: The sample was composed of 40 participants (18 MCI and 22 AD patients) aged ≥ 65 years. Spearman's correlation was performed among cognitive performance (memory, language, visuospatial ability, and executive function) and WMH evaluated by the Fazekas and ARWMC scales. Two stepwise linear regressions were carried out, one with cognitive and the other with demographic/cultural variables as predictors. Results: Only naming showed significant correlation with ARWMC. Fazekas score exhibited significant correlation with all cognitive domains evaluated. Fazekas score was better predicted by episodic visual memory and age. Conclusion: This study found that the most relevant cognitive profile in MCI and AD patients with WMH was related to episodic memory. And, without taking clinical aspects into consideration, age was the best predictor of WMH.

title: Home Visits in Brazil: characteristics of the baseline activity of Community Health Workers

description: ABSTRACT Characterization of home visits performed by Community Health Workers in Brazil. Cross-sectional study, with random sampling by clusters. 1.526 agents interviewed, distributed in 100 municipalities. The majority of the agents were women, with complete secondary education and a median age of 39 years. Households visits are frequently performed by 99.1% of the agents, with 67.4% making at least one monthly visit. Visiting families with infants and pregnant women at intervals of up to 15 days was reported by 70.4% of the agents; while frequently scheduled visits with other professionals from the unit were reported by 40.3%; and 80.9% adopted criteria for its accomplishment. During visits, more than 45% of the agents provided information about health services and reviewed vaccination cards; between 20% and 25% delivered and guided the use of medicines, weighed children and registered families; less than 20% verified environmental conditions and actively searched for defaulters. These shortfalls may be associated with low team participation during the visit's planning, indicating problems in the organization of the agents' work process. Nonetheless, the importance of home visits in the development of actions of health promotion and injury prevention within the scope of Primary Health Care is highlighted.

title: Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma: case report

description: ABSTRACT The ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is a benign, mixed, asymptomatic and rare odontogenic tumor that can easily be confused radiographically and histologically with other diseases. Usually it affects a population between the first and second decades of life, is more frequent in the mandible and shows predilection for males. This lesion, characterized by dental agenesis at the tumor site, has no predilection for anatomical region; however, an increase of intraoral volume may cause mild facial asymmetry. It shows slow but expansive growth, and is a well-defined radiolucent lesion, usually unilocular, with radiopacity inside. Normally surgical removal is conservative and the prognosis is favorable. This article reports a case of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma treated by surgical removal and follow-up of two years. The aim of this work was to study the ameloblastic fibro-odontoma in its entirety, seeking to inform clinicians about the best diagnostic and treatment methods for this type lesion.

title: VARIABLES THAT MAY EXPLAIN MOTOR PERFORMANCE CHANGES IN CHILDREN WITH Development Coordination Disorder AND TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT

description: ABSTRACT The aim this study is investigate the relations among important factors regarding to motor development, body mass index and daily activities of children with Developmental Coordination Disorder, at risk of DCD and typically developing children before and after an motor intervention. Participants were 48 children (5 to 7 year-old) designed in intervention group (n=24) and control group (n=24) assessed using the MABC-2, MABC-2 Checklist, body mass index (BMI) and abdominal circumference. At pre test were found significant and positive correlation between motor development and BMI for all participants and for children with DCD. At the post test, for all children and for children in risk of DCD, significant and positive correlations were found between motor development and section B of check list. Intervention programs contribute to minimize the influence of risk factors in the achievement of motor proficiency of children with and without motor delays.
