title: Acromegaly in the elderly patient

description: ABSTRACT Acromegaly is an insidious disease, usually resulting from growth hormone hypersecretion by a pituitary adenoma. It is most often diagnosed during the 3rd to 4th decade of life. However, recent studies have shown an increase in the incidence and prevalence of acromegaly in the elderly, probably due to increasing life expectancy. As in the younger population with acromegaly, there is a delay in diagnosis, aggravated by the similarities of the aging process with some of the characteristics of the disease. As can be expected elderly patients with acromegaly have a higher prevalence of comorbidities than younger ones. The diagnostic criteria are the same as for younger patients. Surgical treatment of the pituitary adenoma is the primary therapy of choice unless contraindicated. Somatostatin receptor ligands are generally effective as both primary and postoperative treatment. The prognosis correlates inversely with the patient’s age, disease duration and last GH level. Arch Endocrinol Metab. 2019;63(6):638-45

title: Determinants of morbidities and mortality in acromegaly

description: ABSTRACT Acromegaly is a systemic disease associated with increased morbidity, presenting cardiovascular, metabolic, respiratory, neoplastic, endocrine, articular and bone complications. Most of these comorbidities can be prevented or delayed with adequate disease treatment and, more recent studies with the use of modern treatments of acromegaly, have shown a change in the severity and prevalence of these complications. In addition, acromegaly is associated with increased mortality, but recent studies (especially those published in the last decade) have shown a different scenario than older studies, with mortality no longer being increased in adequately controlled patients and a change in the main cause of death from cardiovascular disease to malignancy. In this review, we discuss this changing face of acromegaly summarizing current knowledge and evidence on morbimortality of the disease. Arch Endocrinol Metab. 2019;63(6):630-7

title: DIALOGUES IN TRANSLATION: AUGUSTO DE CAMPOS E MACHADO DE ASSIS

description: Abstract This article demonstrates that it is possible to find common procedures both in Augusto de Campos and in Machado de Assis when it comes to the choices they made when translating cantos from the Divine Comedy, by Dante Alighieri, showing that the translation-art, term coined by Augusto de Campos, was also practiced by the nineteenth century write. It is also aimed at broadening the understanding we have of Machado de Assis as a translator, by exposing translation procedures adopted at the end of his life as a translator in the text that is, perhaps, his master-piece in translation.

title: Writing upon the land: model farms in Minas Gerais (1906-1915)

description: Model farms, institutions for practical agricultural education, were spread all over Brazil and, in Minas Gerais, in the capital and other country towns. They were instituted as part as a national public policy in the first years of the 20th century. In Minas Gerais, were created between the years 1906 and 1915. In this text we propose to understand how the model farms came to be education institutions, in the aspects of her materiality and the subject of learning and knowledge. Then, there will be a dialogue and a questioning of the historical sources of many roots, such as legislation, the proceedings of the Congress Legislature, annual reports and records of the Board of Agriculture and the annual reports of the Secretary of Agriculture.

title: Germination and seed ecology of Buchenavia tomentosa Eichler (Combretaceae)

description: Abstract: Buchenavia tomentosa produces fruits with ecological function for Cerrado’s fauna. The aims of this paper were to quantify seed germination and behavior on thermal conditions and explain about water absorption of dispersal structure in B. tomentosa seeds. Ripe fruits were pulped, the endocarp removed, and seeds used in the germination tests at temperatures of 10 to 45 °C. Seeds were placed in rolls of filter paper and then placed in germination chambers, at twelve hours of photoperiod. Germination models at sub and supra optimal temperatures were made from the germination rate (Tg), from the time to germination of 50% of the seeds (t50). Germination speed index (GSI), measurements of shoot and root lengths and dry mass at each temperature were obtained. The water imbibition curve of seed with or without endocarp adhered and scarified or not was made and other samples were tested for emergence in sand. Cardinal temperatures were: base temperature (Tb) of 9.23 °C; maximum temperature (Tmax) of 44.6 °C; optimum temperature (To) of 29.24 °C and thermal time of 89.71 °C.days. Seedlings showed higher GSI, root and aerial part length and higher root dry mass at the optimal temperature. The endocarp retards, but does not prevent water absorption and emergence.

title: “One already knows what´s coming”: labor mobility of bolivian andean migrants within sweatshops in São Paulo under manufacturing consent approach

description: Abstract This article addresses issues regarding labor mobility of Bolivian Andean migrants towards sweatshops located in the metropolitan area of São Paulo, Brazil. This is the journey they have been enduring over the last twenty-five years. This work analyses labor relations between sewers and sweatshop managersbeyond usual victimization against migrant groups from Bolivia, taking into accountboth coercion and consent levels - all of which under forms of unfree labor. The mechanism of manufacturing consent is supported by institutional and ideological elements which define the “slavery boundaries” at last instance.

title: Curricular components of graduate courses in Tourism: a syntactic-semantic reading in dialogic relationship between knowledge areas

description: Abstract Among the designations of curricular components (subjects) of graduate courses in Tourism, there are some in which Tourism and other areas of knowledge make up a syntagma whose terms are linked by elements such as: “of”, “in the”, “in”, “and”, as well as “applied to”. Therefore, the objective here, based on a syntactic-semantic analysis of such designations, is to deduce dialogue configuration indexing elements that hold among them. Following methodological procedures of cut-off delimitation, a piece of research was carried out in which 74 curricula constituted by 139 subjects were analyzed, assuming that: 1) the Course Pedagogical Project (CPP) document within which the curricular structure constitutes the materialization of the intangible dimension of the curriculum and, hence, the subjects designations should be ringed together with the intricate guiding presuppositions underlying the PPC; 2) language, not being neutral, carries marks of voices of the subjects involved in the enunciation (enunciator and enunciatee), so that such designations imply meanings that go beyond the mere formal register. Different percentage numbers of the incidence of the above mentioned construção sintáticas were found, with a predominance (%) of “area X applied to Tourism”. In that syntactic formulation there is a one-way transitivity, giving Tourism a connotation of object of the application in determined area, lacking relational symmetry in the dialogue between them. Results bring to reflection the pertinence of the prefix “inter”, in the perspective of interdisciplinarity, both with reference to the nature of Tourism and to what the National Curricular Guidelines of Tourism courses state about interdisciplinarity. The option for the syntactic-semantic reading as an analysis tool, originated from Text Linguistics competences as well as from enunciative linguistics, and made it possible to expand the result interpretations, contributing to the establishment, from an interdisciplinary view, of other/new conceptual connections.

title: Self-esteem level of Brazilian teenagers victims of bullying and its relation with the need of orthodontic treatment

description: ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze self-esteem among Brazilian adolescents and also verify possible associations between the variables: the need for orthodontic treatment and bullying. Methods: The cross-sectional, population-based epidemiological study consisted of a sample composed of adolescents from 11 to 16 years of age, enrolled in the public school system of a medium-sized municipality in the northwest of the State of São Paulo, Brazil. A dental examination was performed using the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) in order to verify the need for orthodontic treatment and a self-administered questionnaire containing the Global Self-Evaluation (GSE) indices to identify the level of self-esteem and Kidscape in order to detect bullying. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, association analysis and multivariate logistic regression. Results: A total of 815 adolescents participated in the study. There was a statistically significant association between self-esteem and the variables: sex (p

title: Assessment of Rainfall Estimates from the TRMM-3B43 Product in the State of Amazonas

description: ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to evaluate the rainfall data via satellites in Amazonas state, Brazil. To this end, the estimates from the TRMM-3B43 product (2004-2008) were compared with data from seven Conventional Weather Stations (CWS). The comparison was based on the following statistical parameters: Average Error (AE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), linear correlation coefficient (r), and Wilmott’s index of agreement (d). The TRMM-3B43 estimates were similar to the surface data and represent well the seasonal variability of rainfall. The data showed high linear correlation (r = 0.83), high index of agreement (d = 0.85), and satisfactory RMSE (66.6 mm/month). Therefore, rainfall estimates from the TRMM-3B43 product can be used as an alternative source of quality data.

title: Agreement between clinical and histopathological diagnoses of oral lesions diagnosed in clinic university

description: BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of wide variety of lesions occurring in the oral cavity is critical to the practice of dentistry. It is common for dentists to find oral lesions of doubtful diagnosis. In these situations, the dentist should consider the indication of biopsy as a complement or even conclusive final diagnosis of these oral lesions. The evaluation of the agreement between the clinical and histopathological diagnosis of oral lesions allows the accuracy and ability analysis of the professional or his/her dentistry academic level to perform clinical diagnosis correctly OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between clinical and histopathological diagnosis of oral lesions diagnosed in a university dental clinic. METHOD: This is an analytical, retrospective study conducted with patients biopsied and who had pathologic reports issued between February 2010 and July 2012. The SPSS 17.0 for Windows was used for data analysis. We conducted descriptive analyzes of the data. The concordance between the diagnoses was also measured using kappa statistics. RESULT: It was obtained through a sample of 125 patients. The average age was 48.64 years, with a majority of women (58.4%). The histopathological diagnoses were the most prevalent non-neoplastic proliferative processes (36.6%). The concordance between the clinical and histopathological diagnosis occurred in most patients (87.8 %). The kappa value for the agreement between diagnoses was 0.75 CONCLUSION: The concordance between the diagnoses occurred in most patients investigated presented corresponding to substantial agreement.

title: A review of Cushing's disease treatment by the Department of Neuroendocrinology of the Brazilian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism

description: ABSTRACT The treatment objectives for a patient with Cushing's disease (CD) are remission of hypercortisolism, adequate management of co-morbidities, restoration of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, preservation of fertility and pituitary function, and improvement of visual defects in cases of macroadenomas with suprasellar extension. Transsphenoidal pituitary surgery is the main treatment option for the majority of cases, even in macroadenomas with low probability of remission. In cases of surgical failure, another subsequent pituitary surgery might be indicated in cases with persistent tumor imaging at post surgical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or pathology analysis of adrenocorticotropic hormone-positive (ACTH+) positive pituitary adenoma in the first procedure. Medical treatment, radiotherapy and adrenalectomy are the other options when transsphenoidal pituitary surgery fails. There are several options of medical treatment, although cabergoline and ketoconazole are the most commonly used alone or in combination. Novel treatments are also addressed in this review. Different therapeutic approaches are frequently needed on an individual basis, both before and, particularly, after surgery, and they should be individualized. The objective of the present review is to provide the necessary information to achieve a more effective treatment for CD. It is recommended that patients with CD be followed at tertiary care centers with experience in treating this condition.
