title: Deteriorating potential of the mesophilic microbiota, psychrotrophic, termoduric and spore raw milk

description: Abstract Considering that technological problems and economic losses are basically caused by spoilage microorganisms on dairy industry, therefore the aim of this study was to quantify the mesophilic aerobic, psychrotrophic, thermoduric and aerobic spore-forming in raw milk produced in northern Paraná and also verify the proteolytic and lipolytic capacity of these microorganisms. Twenty samples of raw milk were analyzed and were determined mesophilic aerobic, psychrotrophic, thermoduric mesophilic, psychrotrophic thermoduric and aerobicspore-forming counts and proteolytic and lipolytic capacity from each group. The average counts of aerobic mesophilic were 1,79x106CFU/mL, above the limit established to Normative Instruction 76 (3,0x105CFU/mL); 55% samples had scores within the standards. Psychrotrophic counts ranged from 1,0x102 to 9,9x106CFU/mL and in 30% samples this count was higher than mesophilic. The average mesophilic thermoduric was 2,4x104CFU/mL, psychrotrophic thermoduric was 1,7x102CFU/mL and aerobic spore-forming was 5,0x101CFU/mL. As for the spoilage profile, all groups showed higher lipase and proteolytic activity, with a predominance of lipolytic bacteria. The values found indicates the inappropriate hygienic-sanitary management during milking and maintaining molk refrigerated for long periods until pasteurize, it can favorsthe proliferation of spoilage microbiota, which can promote significant changes in the quality and yield of milk and dairy products, even after the heat treatment.

title: Influence of milk with a high somatic cell count on the physical characteristics and yogurt fermentation process

description: Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the fermentation characteristics and yogurts made from milk with high or low milk somatic cell count (CCS) and added or not with milk solids. Raw milk was collected at six days and subjected to various electronic analyzes of protein, fat, lactose, total solids, CCS and total bacterial count (CBT). The profile of the fermentation was monitored by pH and acidity, expressed as lactic acid. Yoghurts were analyzed for pH, acidity expressed as lactic acid and syneresis of final product at different storage times. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design, with six replicates and split plots with treatments in installments (CCS levels x added or not added milk solids) and fermentation times and storage periods for yogurts subplots. Data were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA), regression or Pearson Correlation analysis, according to the tests. The results showed that CCS levels had effects on some milk parameters (p&lt;0,05). However, no effects were observed on the fermentation profile and characteristics of yoghurt during storage, according to the CCS levels or adding milk solids.

title: Prevalent skin and dermatoses care in older adults treated at a private clinic and its relationship with comorbidities

description: Abstract Objectives : To identify and assess the prevalence of skin changes in the older adults surveyed, as well as to detect skin phototype according to the Fitzpatrick classification and to assess whether there was an association between the changes identified and predisposing factors (smoking, diabetes mellitus and hypertension). Additionally, evaluate the level of knowledge of the subjects regarding skin care. Method : A cross-sectional study was conducted in April to August 2018, based on a convenience sample of 80 older adults attending a private clinic. A questionnaire was applied among the subjects to identify their skin care and an answer sheet was completed by the researcher with information about the physical examination of the skin. Data were analyzed by the chi square or Fisher’s exact method. Poisson regression was used to determine the independent effect of the exploratory variables on the response variable. Results : The sampled population had a low level of education and was low-income and did not take proper care of their skin, while 70% were skin phototype 4. Most (73%) were aware of what skin cancer is and a significant portion 50% did not use sunscreen or moisturizer. There was no significant difference between the sexes (p&gt;0.05). About half of the older adults reported having been instructed about skin care. Seventy two percent knew about the dangers of sun exposure. The most common skin alteration was melanosis and an association was found between diabetes and keratosis. Conclusions : The study population was low income, with a low level of education. They were exposed to the sun and did not make proper use of sunscreen or moisturizers, but sought health information from their doctor and knew what skin cancer was.

title: Blood pressure pattern following a combined exercise session in hypertensive older women

description: Abstract Objective: The aim of the present study was to verify the behavior of hemodynamic variables in hypertensive older women following a combined exercise session and to identify the intensity of effort achieved in this session. Method: The study included 14 hypertensive older women (72.0±6.7 years old) who regularly practiced physical activities. The participants underwent a one-hour combined exercise session performed in a group, with intensity of effort monitored by accelerometry (Actigraph, model GT3X+). The hemodynamic parameters (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance) were individually measured by finger photoplethysmography (Finometer) before and after (60 min) the exercise session. Results: The sessions consisted predominantly of low-light intensity activities (60%) and 20% of class time was spent on sedentary behavior. None of the evaluated variables exhibited changes when the pre and post-exercise values were compared (p&gt;0.05). Systolic blood pressure behavior correlated positively with time spent in sedentary behavior (r=0.541; p=0.045). Conclusion: The combined exercise sessions, as conducted, did not generate post-exercise hypotension. In addition, the time spent in typically sedentary activities during the classes positively correlated with changes in blood pressure, suggesting that combined exercise programs, applied in the form of collective aerobic exercises, should be composed of higher intensity activities.

title: Analysis of consumption of omega 3 source foods by participants of social groups

description: Abstract Objective: To verify the consumption of omega 3 source foods by participants of social groups. Method: a cross-sectional, descriptive analytical study was carried out with 850 older participants of social groups of the Older Adult Care Coordination (or DATI) in a city in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, through a questionnaire containing sociodemographic variables and the consumption of omega 3 source foods. Data were analyzed using the R 2.15.1 language and using the Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests. The level of significance used in the tests was p≤0.05. Results: The results showed that older women have a habit of consuming more omega 3 source foods than men, such as oils, dark green vegetables, seeds, fish and nuts, and people with greater purchasing power consume more products with omega 3. Conclusion: Families with greater purchasing power used more expensive sources of omega 3 fatty acid, and the consumption of these products did not differ significantly in terms of age, BMI, marital status and whether the individual lived alone or with others.

title: Can clinical and physical-functional factors predict falls in cognitively impaired older adults?

description: Abstract Objective: to investigate the frequency of falls and clinical and physical-functional factors associated with falls, and the accuracy of such factors to identify the risk of falling in cognitively impaired older adults. Method: a cross-sectional study with cognitively impaired older adults was carried out using the Mini-Mental State Examination. The dependent variable was a history of falls in the previous six months. The independent variables were self-reported mental confusion, hearing and visual impairment, physical fatigue, muscle weakness, dizziness, body imbalance, insecurity when walking, diagnosed depression, hospitalizations, continuous use medications (form from study used), muscle mass (calf circumference) and handgrip strength (dynamometry), functional capacity (Pfeffer) and mobility (SAM-Br). Descriptive statistics were applied. The groups were compared using the Mann Whitney U test, the risk factors were identified by univariate and multivariate logistic regression, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated for the associated factors. Results: 216 cognitively impaired older adults were included in the analysis, 41.7% of whom were fallers. Multivariate regression analyzes indicated that complaints of visual impairment (OR=2.8; p=0.015) and body imbalance (OR=2.7; p=0.004), and greater medication use (OR=1.1; p=0.038) were associated with a history of falls. The AUC found poor accuracy for quantity of medications as a screening tool for fallers (AUC=0.6 [0.5; 0.7]; p=0.028). Conclusion: cognitively impaired older adults had a high frequency of falls. Complaints of visual impairment, body imbalance and polypharmacy were predictors of falls. The early assessment of these factors can contribute to the identification of cognitively-impaired older adults at risk of falling in clinical practice and research.

title: Complexity of care of hospitalized older adults and its relationship with sociodemographic characteristics and functional independence

description: Abstract Objectives: To investigate the relationship between the complexity of care of hospitalized older adults and sociodemographic and functional independence characteristics. Method: A quantitative cross-sectional and descriptive study was carried out in the medical and surgical clinics of the University Hospital of the Universidade de São Paulo, in the state of São Paulo SP, Brazil. A total of 382 older adults were assessed through a socio-demographic inventory, the Mini Mental State Exam, the Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living and the Interdisciplinary Medicine Instrument Method. Results: The complexity of care of participants was associated with the female sex (p=0.003), not having a partner (p=0.003), having a lower income (p=0.022), cognitive decline (p&lt;0.001) and dependence in basic activities of daily living (BADL) (p&lt;0.001). In the multiple logistic regression model, variables such as the female sex (OR=1.76; p=0.018), dependence in one or more activities of daily living (OR=1.26; p&lt;0.001) and cognitive decline (OR=3.31; p&lt;0.001) remained associated with complexity of care. Conclusion: The complexity of care of hospitalized older adults, as it is associated with limitations in BADL and cognitive decline, requires actions by the interprofessional team to ensure the rehabilitation, integration of long-term care and planning of care resources for older patients. Thus, it is necessary to adopt integrated services that include home care and care networks for the elderly, in order to provide qualified post-hospital discharge care and promote the health of the hospitalized older population.
