title: Metallic corneal foreign bodies: an occupational health hazard

description: Purpose: To analyze the risk factors, outcomes, demographic characteristics, and attitudes of workers with metallic corneal foreign body (FB) injury. Methods: One hundred consecutive patients who presented with a metallic corneal FB to the eye clinic at Diyarbakir Training and Research Hospital were evaluated. The patients completed a questionnaire and were examined to determine features of the injury. Results: All patients were male. The mean age was 32.46 ± 1.03 years. Fiftyfive percent of the patients were unregistered workers, 59% were working in the metal industry sector, and 65% injuries resulted from metal cutting. Protective goggles were available in the workplace of 64% patients. However, 57% patients were not wearing goggles when the accident occurred, and 43% were injured despite goggle use. Most patients (52%) attempted to remove FBs by themselves. FBs were located in the central zone of the cornea in 16% patients. Rust marks remained after FB removal in 26% patients. Corneal scars from previous FB injuries were present in 58% patients. Only 8% workplaces provided compensation for physician visits for occupation related illnesses. Conclusions: Workplaces with a high risk for eye injuries should increase their protective measures, and educational programs should be implemented for both workers and occupational physicians. The government should enforce laws regarding unregistered workers in a better manner.

title: HEALTH SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS FINANCED BY CONGRESSIONAL AMENDMENTS

description: Abstract The research analyzed the transfer of funds to Health Social Organizations through congressional amendments in the Legislative Assembly of the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The study was conducted through an analysis of documents. A cross-check of data was performed in order to identify the possibility that these organizations indeed received funds through congressional amendments between 2009 and 2014. We analyzed 109 amendments that proposed the transfer of funds to the Health Social Organizations and their sponsoring entities. In that period, a total of R$ 4.817 million were proposed for those institutions: R$ 4.627 million for the Evangelical Benevolent Society of Espírito Santo (from the Portuguese Associação Evangélica Beneficente Espírito-Santense), and R$ 190 thousand for the Santa Catarina Congregation association (from the Portuguese Associação Congregação de Santa Catarina). According to the data, there is a relationship between the number of congressional amendments that were proposed for these sponsoring entities and the political parties that won the elections. In election years, there is an increase in the number of amendments proposed. We highlight the inexistence at the Espírito Santo Legislative Assembly of transparency instruments to oversee the executions of the congressional amendments.

title: Training and Professional Activities of Medical Graduates from a Private Institution of Pará: Profile and Compliance with the National Curricular Guidelines

description: ABSTRACT The objectives of this study were to know the socio-demographic profile, training and professional performance of physicians graduates of a private institution, to observe the compliance of this profile with the one advocated by the DCN and to contribute to the Program of Accompaniment of Graduates. The instrument of data collection was a questionnaire validated, adapted and sent online to the graduates of the first four classes. Most were women, young, single, with monthly income up to 10 minimum wages. The course contributed wholly or largely to training in basic Attention and humanistic training, generalist, critical-reflexive and ethical. The graduates are active in the SUS, as generalists, allocated in the North region, feeling reasonably prepared for the job market and competent. There was a tendency of compliance of this profile with the one recommended by the DCN and the contribution to the Program of Accompaniment of Graduates was given through the elaboration of Revista do Egresso.

title: Misvaluation and behavioral bias in the Brazilian stock market

description: ABSTRACT The study sought to apply the model developed by Gokhale et al. (2015) to identify the existence of overreaction and behavioral biases in the Brazilian stock market and analyze its performance as an investment strategy on the São Paulo Stock, Commodities, and Futures Exchange (BM&FBOVESPA) in the short term and long term, as well as test its robustness with time window simulations. The impacts of behavioral finance on capital markets can affect economic decisions, perpetuate or increase asset pricing anomalies, and in more extreme and persistent situations contribute to the formation of bubbles that can compromise the entire financial system of a country. The study pioneers an innovative methodology in the Brazilian stock market for identifying behavioral biases and obtaining abnormal returns and higher returns than the Ibovespa. The research uses the model developed by Gokhale, Tremblay, and Tremblay (2015) in three samples with quotations data for Brazilian publicly-traded companies that compose the Ibovespa and IBrA in the period from 2005 to 2016. With the R statistical software, the Fundamental Valuation Index (FVI) was calculated for each sample share and each year. From the FVI index, the undervalued shares were identified, indicating that the sales price does not reflect their economic fundamentals, and portfolio simulations were carried out for investment over three months or the next year. The results indicate the possible existence of overreaction and behavioral biases in the Brazilian stock market, which lead to the possibility of higher abnormal returns than those of the Ibovespa. Similar to the US market, at the end of the 2006-2016 period simulated portfolios yielded more than 274%, while the Ibovespa yielded approximately 80%. The robustness tests attest to the effectiveness of the model. The various investment portfolios, simulated over different time horizons, yielded more than the Ibovespa on average. The study also confirmed the assumptions of Gokhale, Tremblay, and Tremblay (2015) regarding the model's inadequacy for short-term strategies.

title: The influence of body position on Bielschowsky's test

description: Purpose: To investigate the veracity of Jampolsky's statement that Bielschowsky's head tilt test is inverted if performed with the patient in the upside-down position and to interpret its neuromuscular mechanism. Methods: We present a series of 10 patients selected from a referred sample who were diagnosed with superior oblique paresis. Hypertropia was measured in the primary position, with the head erect and tilted toward both shoulders with the patient in the erect, supine, and upside-down positions. The last position was achieved by hanging the patient upside-down. Results: As expected, our results showed the veracity of Jampolsky's statement. The forced head tilt difference was inverted or significantly decreased when the test was performed in the upside-down position. Moreover, in all patients, Bielschowsky's phenomenon was neutralized in the supine body position, in which hypertropia with the head erect tended to vanish. In 3 patients, it disappeared completely. Conclusions: This study showed that, in patients with superior oblique paresis, differences in the extent of hypertropia in Bielschowsky's test tended to vanish when the test was performed with the patient in the supine position and invert when it was performed with the patient in the upside-down position.

title: Association between anterior open bite and impact on quality of life of preschool children

description: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between different types of malocclusion and the impact on quality of life among preschoolers and their families. A cross-sectional study was carried out involving 451 children 3-5 years of age. A clinical exam was performed to evaluate the malocclusions according to criteria proposed by Foster and Hamilton. This examination was conducted by a calibrated dentist. Parents/caregivers answered the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) for the assessment of Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) and the questionnaire on socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, chi-square, Mann-Whitney and hierarchically adjusted Poisson regression. The prevalence of malocclusion was 28.4%. The most frequent conditions were posterior crossbite (20.4%), anterior open bite (9.5%) and increased overjet (8.4%). A significant association was found between anterior open bite and OHRQoL (p&lt; 0.001). The adjusted analysis confirmed the association between anterior open bite and a negative impact on quality of life (PR = 2.55; 95%CI: 1.87 to 3.47; p&lt; 0.001). Anterior open bite was associated with a negative impact on the quality of life of preschoolers.

title: The Saussurean study on Germanic legends

description: ABSTRACT In this work, we aimed to expose the study carried out by Ferdinand de Saussure about the Germanic legends. The study, which comprehends 18 notebook and various separate sheets, was developed between 1903 and 1910. Therefore, it is, to some extent, concomitant to the courses in General Linguistics taught by Saussure from 1907 to 1910. This way, we investigated in which aspects Saussure’s mithografic studies are related to his theorization on General Linguistics, considering specifically the linguistic category of the proper name and the notions of arbitrariness, mutability and immutability of the sign as well as the concept of linguistic value.

title: Changes in corneal sensitivity following cross-linking for progressive early-stage keratoconus

description: Purpose: To evaluate changes in corneal sensitivity following corneal cross-linking (CXL) in patients with progressive earlier stage keratoconus. Methods: Thirty-eight eyes of 19 patients (11 women, 8 men) were included in a prospective, nonrandomized clinical study. The mean patient age was 22 years (range, 18-26 years). Inclusion criteria were early stage bilateral progressive keratoconus, a transparent cornea, and a thickness of ≥440 µm in the thinnest area of the cornea. Using the Cochet-Bonnet esthesiometer, central corneal sensitivity was measured before surgery, 7 days after surgery, and once a month thereafter until recovery of baseline preoperative levels. Central corneal sensitivity &gt;40 mm was considered normal. Results: Corneal sensitivity gradually returned to preoperative levels in all treated eyes. The mean central corneal sensitivity was 52.2, 24.0, 38.2, 42.5, 50.0, and 52.5 mm before surgery, 7 days after surgery, and at 1, 2, 3, and 4 months after surgery, respectively. Normal levels of corneal sensation, but not baseline (preoperative) levels, were observed 2 months after surgery. The preoperative levels were observed 3 months after surgery. Conclusions: Our results suggest that central corneal sensitivity can be decreased for as long as 3 months after CXL for progressive earlier stage keratoconus.

title: Perception of Interns and Doctors Recently Graduated from the Medicine Course of PUC-SP on Their Training to Work in Primary Health Care

description: ABSTRACT Background The School of Medical Sciences and Health (FCMS – Faculdade de Ciências Médicas e da Saúde) at the Sorocaba campus of the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (PUC/SP – Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo) began to reform the curriculum of the Medical course in 2006, introducing a new educational project based on the 2001 Brazilian National Curricular Directives (DCN – Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais) for Medical Degree Courses. In this curriculum, Health Care Practice is a horizontal module with its six disciplines studied from the first to the sixth year, in various practical scenarios, but with a focus on primary health care in the Unified Health System (SUS – Sistema Único de Saúde), with learning based on practice and problem solving as central educational strategies. Objective To assess whether medical students and new graduates consider themselves prepared to work in primary health care, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of their training in order to propose the adjustments required to improve the Medical course and training of graduates from the FCMS of PUC/SP. Methods A questionnaire with four open questions and five multiple choice questions using the Likert scale was answered by 66 interns and 8 new graduates. Results More than 70% of the participants consider that they are well prepared or very well prepared to work in primary health care as general practitioners, in a person-centred, critical and reflective manner, with the skills to perform activities in health prevention, promotion and rehabilitation in accordance with the DCN and the priorities of the SUS, while valuing multiprofessional work. Participants consider as curriculum strengths: involving the student in primary health care from the beginning of the course, favouring a person-centred approach in the doctor/patient relationship, and the understanding and management of the most prevalent diseases. The weakest points reported were: little medical care was provided to patients during the course, home visits were conducted without the tutor, and Primary Health Care is undervalued in professional life. Conclusions Interns at the end of the course and new graduates from the Medical course of FCMS at PUC/SP feel themselves prepared and confident to work in primary health care as general practitioners in the SUS in the way specified in the DCN and offer critical suggestions to improve teaching/learning in this scenario.
