title: Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Improves Survival Without Increasing the Risk of Stroke in Patients with Ischemic Heart Failure in Comparison to Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Meta-Analysis With 54,173 Patients

description: Abstract Objective: To evaluate whether there is any difference on the results of patients treated with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the setting of ischemic heart failure (HF). Methods: Databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Controlled Trials Register [CENTRAL/CCTR], ClinicalTrials.gov, Scientific Electronic Library Online [SciELO], Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde [LILACS], and Google Scholar) were searched for studies published until February 2019. Main outcomes of interest were mortality, myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, and stroke. Results: The search yielded 5,775 studies for inclusion. Of these, 20 articles were analyzed, and their data were extracted. The total number of patients included was 54,173, and those underwent CABG (N=29,075) or PCI (N=25098). The hazard ratios (HRs) for mortality (HR 0.763; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.678-0.859; P&lt;0.001), myocardial infarction (HR 0.481; 95% CI 0.365-0.633; P&lt;0.001), and repeat revascularization (HR 0.321; 95% CI 0.241-0.428; P&lt;0.001) were lower in the CABG group than in the PCI group. The HR for stroke showed no statistically significant difference between the groups (random effect model: HR 0.879; 95% CI 0.625-1.237; P=0.459). Conclusion: This meta-analysis found that CABG surgery remains the best option for patients with ischemic HF, without increase in the risk of stroke.

title: ENDOPHYTIC FUNGI FROM THE BRAZILIAN FLORA AND THEIR EMPLOYMENT IN BIOTRANSFORMATION REACTIONS

description: The biotransformation reactions are used as a successful alternative to derivatization by the traditional chemistry because they conduct to uncommon reactions, which would hardly be carried out by chemical synthesis. A wide diversity of compounds may be metabolized by fungi, leading to chemical derivatives through selective reactions that work under ecofriendly conditions. Endophytic fungi live in symbiosis with health tissues of plants. The employment of endophytic fungi as enzymatic sources to biotransformation reactions is very promising since these microorganisms came from uncommon and underexplored habitat. The environmental conditions directly influence the composition of the endophytic microbiota and its genetic expression, which could change also the production of the enzymes. The extraordinary richness of the Brazilian biodiversity is a key factor in the diversification of the endophytic community. The present review presents a mapping of the biotransformation reactions catalyzed by Brazilian endophytic fungi. Our findings contribute both to the appreciation of these fungi in the chemical derivatization and for the preservation of the Brazilian species.

title: A study of relations between gender and careers anchors

description: Abstract The research analyzed the relationship between gender and career anchors of undergraduate students, using the survey method. The sample totaled 251 Engineering students and 251 Health Care students. To collect the data, we used questionnaires containing the Inventory Career Guidance of Schein (1990). The analysis techniques used were descriptive statistics and exploratory factor analysis. The results show that, in the Engineering area, female respondents valued more the lifestyle and safety anchors, whose attributes are socially associated with the female gender. In the area of Health Care, male respondents valued more autonomy and independency, pure challenge, and creativity anchors, whose attributes are associated with the male gender. We conclude that career choices are strongly associated with the values and attributes socially assigned to gender.

title: The influence of information from the Brazilian National Health Survey on the current estimate and trend in exclusive breastfeeding in Brazil

description: The study aimed to discuss the consistency of estimates of maternal breastfeeding in the Brazilian National Health Survey (PNS) and the implications for the analysis of trends in these indicators from 1986 to 2013. The main limitation for the current estimate (2013) of breastfeeding indicators based on the PNS and their trend (1986-2013) is the absence of the interview date in the microdata, thus hindering a precise calculation of age. Previous studies have shown different scenarios for exclusive breastfeeding based on the PNS: 36.6% (stabilization of prevalence in comparison to 2006 [Brazilian National Survey of Demography and Health - PNDS]) and 20.3% (downward prevalence). Simulations of the interview date using the date of data collection in the PNS (August 2013 to February 2014) indicated a variation of prevalence 25.3% to 42.8% (exclusive breastfeeding); 54% to 61.5% (breastfeeding); and 32.7% to 40.5% (breastfeeding, second), respectively. The discrepancy in the scenario for breastfeeding status calls attention to the unfeasibility of the exclusive breastfeeding estimate for 2013, pending clarification of the interview date.

title: Assessment of Lean implementation in Hotels’ supply chains

description: Abstract Paper aims This article aims at investigating the implementation level of Lean Supply Chain (LSC) practices in hotels’ supply chains. Originality The proposed method allows to characterize LSC implementation in such an unusual context, identifying improvement opportunities and checking for discrepancies in their implementation. Research method Six different supply chains of high-quality hotels were analyzed through semi-structured interviews. Interviewees played key roles in their purchasing departments and presented large experience in the hospitality sector. Main findings Results were consolidated and for each case attributes were assigned to measure the implementation level of ten practices. Implementation scores were compared to a perceived average importance degree in order to verify convergences and divergences between the desired and actual improvement initiatives. Implications for theory and practice The applicability of LSC practices in services still needs further exploration. In the hospitality sector, whose evidence is even scarcer, this study provides a more holistic approach enabling a deeper understanding of the necessary adaptation for a successful implementation.

title: Functional iron deficiency in patients on hemodialysis: prevalence, nutritional assessment, and biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation

description: Abstract Introduction: Anemic patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) can be divided into anemic patients without or with functional iron deficiency (FID). The increase in the number of cases of hemosiderosis in patients on hemodialysis (HD) attributed to excessive intravenous iron replacement has called for the investigation of the factors involved in the genesis of FID. Objectives: This study aimed to describe the prevalence of FID in patients with CKD on HD, characterize the included individuals in terms of clinical and workup parameters, and assess their nutritional, oxidative stress, and inflammation statuses. This cross-sectional study assembled a convenience sample of 183 patients with CKD on HD treated in Southern Brazil. Patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were divided into two groups, one with anemic subjects with FID and one with anemic patients without FID. Participants answered a questionnaire probing into socio-epidemiological factors, underwent anthropometric measurements, and were tested for markers of anemia, oxidative stress, inflammation, and nutrition. Statistical analysis: The date sets were treated on software package GraphPad InStat version 3.1. Variables were tested with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov, chi-square, Student’s t, and Mann-Whitney tests. Statistical significance was attributed to differences with a p &lt; 0.05. Results: Markers of inflammation were not statistically different between the two groups. Markers of anemia and nutrition were significantly lower in patients with FID. Patients with FID were prescribed higher doses of parenteral iron (p &lt; 0,05). Discussion: FID was associated with lower nutritional marker levels, but not to increased levels of markers of inflammation or oxidative stress, as reported in the literature. Additional studies on the subject are needed.

title: Nitrification of yellow waters in bed percolating of sand

description: ABSTRACT Ecological sanitation awares about the importance of a more efficient water reuse and the use of decentralized wastewater treatment systems. This paper describes the results of yellow waters’ nitrification in a biological reactor made up of simple materials, like sand as support material, aiming to make this liquid waste available for the use of mineralized nitrogen in sustainable agriculture. The experimental system was monitored through pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), total alkalinity (ALK), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), ammonia nitrogen (AN), nitrite (NO- 2) and nitrate (NO- 3). The system showed good removal of organic matter and excellent conversion of nitrogen to nitrite and nitrate, with efficiency of transformation of TKN to nitrate of about 93%.

title: Quality of life in families with children with moderate intellectual disability

description: ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the family quality of life (FQoL) among Brazilian families who have children with moderate intellectual disability (ID). Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out with 50 families who have children with moderate DI from São Carlos, São Paulo, Brazil. Data were collected by questionnaires including sociodemographic information, Barthel and Lawton & Brody functional indexes, and the Beach Center Family Quality of Life Scale. Results The domains “family interaction” (r = 0.870; p &lt; 0.001) and “parenting” (r = 0.845; p &lt; 0.001) were more strongly correlated with the total FQoL. There were no differences in the distribution of FQoL according to the sociodemographic variables investigated. A moderate (r = 0.326) and significant (p = 0.021) correlation was observed between the Lawton and Brody functional index and the FQoL. The adjusted linear regression model explained 10.6% of the variability found in the FQoL (p = 0.021) and showed that the increase of one point in the Lawton and Brody index represented an increase of 0.092 in the FQoL. Conclusion The FQoL of the families investigated is below other international samples. Clinical actions that strengthen dialogue and family cohesion, and the construction of an individualized therapeutic plan can be effective ways to help these families.

title: Internal configuration of maxillary molars in a subpopulation of Brazil’s Northeast region: A CBCT analysis

description: Abstract The present study aimed to evaluate the internal configuration of the maxillary molars of a population from the Northeast region of Brazil. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) exams from 512 patients (1501 teeth) were evaluated regarding the anatomical configuration of the root canal system, according to Vertucci’s classification. The images were obtained using a Prexion 3D scanner operating at 90 kVp and 4 mA. The voxel size was 0.125 mm and the cut thickness was 1 mm. The images were then analyzed in the Prexion 3D Viewer software. The data were analyzed statistically by Pearson’s chi-square test, with 5% of significance. The first and second molars presented three roots in 99.14% and 87.27% of the cases, respectively. In relation to the number of canals, the first and second molars had a significantly higher frequency of three and four root canals respectively, presenting a higher prevalence of types I and II (p &lt; 0.001). The second mesiobuccal canal (MB2) was observed in 48.21% and 22.72% of the first and second molars, respectively (p &lt; 0.001). The identification of the MB2 canal was greater in young and adult patients (p &lt; 0.001), presenting a higher prevalence in male patients (p &lt; 0.001). The internal configuration of the MB root was influenced by gender and by age, presenting a higher prevalence of the MB2 in male patients younger than 50 years of age.
