El matrimonio, en 1335, de Beatriz de Lauria con el segundo señor de Marchena constituye un acontecimiento fundamental en el proceso de consolidación del linaje de los Ponce de León andaluces. Al mismo tiempo, modifica por completo las circunstancias vitales de Beatriz, no solo por el cambio de reino que supone su traslado de Valencia a Sevilla, sino también por las complejas relaciones entre Castilla y Aragón durante las décadas centrales del siglo XIV. Todo ello afectó a sus aspiraciones señoriales en territorio valenciano, dificultadas por la actuación de sus hermanos Jaime y Pedro de Jérica. El hecho de que sobreviviera a su esposo durante más de veinte años nos permite analizar su actuación en el contexto andaluz, aspecto poco conocido y de gran interés en un reinado, como el de Pedro I de Castilla, tan adverso para los grandes linajes sevillanos.

In response to the global climate crisis, urgent measures are required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in alignment with the goals of the Paris Agreement. As energy consumption accounts for 36% of total emissions, and buildings contribute significantly to both direct and indirect emissions, it is crucial to enhance the energy efficiency and self-sufficiency of buildings. This article conducts a case study to evaluate the formal structure, spatial layout, and sustainable strategies employed in residential units within the Pedra Branca neighborhood (Santa Catarina, Brazil), using the methodology developed by Brandão and Schneider. The findings indicate that the housing units predominantly consist of three bedrooms, along with two to four bathrooms. The analysis revealed partial integration between the kitchen and service areas, with full integration being less common. Corridor layouts were found to make the greatest contribution to sustainability and internal space quality. Although some configurations did not directly support cross-ventilation, there was a clear focus on environmental comfort and the use of passive design strategies. This study highlights the potential of such configurations to improve energy performance and contribute to the development of climate-positive neighborhoods.

ABSTRACT The objective of the present review was to analyze the effects of the number of touches on the ball, in the physical and physiological responses during small soccer games. Electronic searches were carried out in the databases: “Web of Science”, “Scopus” and “PubMed”, using the descriptors “Small-sided games”; “Intensity”; “Touches”; “Soccer”; “Soccer players”; “Modified rules”. The PICO strategy was used and the group of words was combined in pairs or trios, using the OR and AND connectors. Only articles published between 2010 and 2022 were considered. The following were excluded: (a) annals and supplements of scientific events, (b) reviews, editorial and instrument validation articles, and (c) studies with women. Of 578 studies, 9 were selected and analyzed. In general, the adoption of the limit rule for touching the ball increased the physiological responses, although discrepancies were observed between the studies regarding the physical responses, we must consider the methodological differences between the studies. We conclude that manipulating the number of touches allowed per ball possession influences players’ physiological responses. Specifically, higher intensity is expected in SSGs with fewer ball touches allowed. On the other hand, physical responses are not influenced by this rule.

A intenção deste texto é apontar alguns caminhos possíveis para uma história escolar da Primeira República “vista desde baixo”. São destacados conteúdos que se relacionam a como as classes e os setores subalternos desta sociedade (povos originários, população negra, classe trabalhadora, mulheres e camponeses) lidaram com os desafios sociais de então, com ênfase nas lutas por direitos civis, políticos e sociais que moldaram a história do período. Também são sugeridas algumas estratégias didáticas para trabalhar esses conteúdos em sala de aula. Com isso, esperamos contribuir para a necessária transformação das narrativas “desde cima”, que ainda tem grande peso nos currículos e materiais didáticos sobre a Primeira República, substituindo-as por narrativas que deem voz e protagonismo a tais setores e colaborar, assim, para a construção de uma educação emancipatória.

Objectives. The aim of this initiative was to assess whether a novel training program – Understanding Stigma and Strengthening Cognitive Behavioral Interpersonal Skills – could improve primary health care providers’ confidence in the quality of mental health care they provide in the Caribbean setting by using the Plan-Do-Study-Act rapid cycle for learning improvement. Methods. We conducted a prospective observational study of the impact of this training program. The training was refined during three cycles: first, the relevance of the program for practice improvement in the Caribbean was assessed. Second, pilot training of 15 local providers was conducted to adapt the program to the culture and context. Third, the course was launched in fall 2021 with 96 primary care providers. Pre- and post-program outcomes were assessed by surveys, including providers’ confidence in the quality of the mental health care they provided, changes in stigma among the providers and their use of and comfort with the tools. This paper describes an evaluation of the results of cycle 3, the official launch. Results. A total of 81 participants completed the program. The program improved primary care providers’ confidence in the quality of mental health care that they provided to people with lived experience of mental health disorders, and it reduced providers’ stigmatization of people with mental health disorders. Conclusions. The program’s quality improvement model achieved its goals in enhancing health care providers’ confidence in the quality of the mental health care they provided in the Caribbean context; the program provides effective tools to support the work and it helped to empower and engage clients.

Abstract This paper aims to discuss and demonstrate the non-tariff challenges to Mercosur’s trade integration. Its Common External Tariff (CET) and exceptions will be discussed, as well as the evolution of its non-tariff protectionism framework in the last three decades. This is an unprecedented exploratory exercise on all 5019 non-tariff measures (NTM) notified by Mercosur members to the WTO from 1995 to 2020. As main results, we see that (i) members with fewer exceptions to the CET are the ones that most use NTMs to protect their markets; (ii) the stock of NTMs targeted at members and non-members varies accordingly; (iii) of the 10 countries most targeted by NTMs imposed by Mercosur members, its own members figure in the 3rd, 4th, 7th, and 8th positions; (iv) the bloc lacks deep regulatory harmonization, especially with regard to sanitary and phytosanitary barriers in 11 sectors. Based on these results, two critical policy action plans are suggested to the bloc.

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir os resultados de uma maior participação nas cadeias globais de valor (CGVs) para a redução dos índices de pobreza na América Latina e Caribe (ALC), especialmente tendo em vista o aumento da miséria no contexto pós-pandêmico. A hipótese testada no artigo é a de que quanto maior for a inserção da região da ALC nas cadeias globais de valor, menor será o nível de pobreza. Para testá-la, realiza-se uma análise de regressão linear múltipla com dados sobre a inserção da região em CGVs, oriundos da United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), bem como com informações de pobreza extraídas do Banco Mundial, tendo por período de análise o intervalo entre 1991 e 2018. Como resultados, observa-se um decréscimo tímido na inserção da ALC em CGVs. Apesar disso, identifica-se uma correlação entre a participação em CGVs e a redução da pobreza, confirmando-se, com ressalvas, a hipótese proposta.

Bitemark analysis is a challenging procedure in the field of criminal case investigation. The unique characteristics of dentition are used to find the best match between the existing patterned injury and the suspected perpetrator in bitemark identification. Bitemark analysis accuracy can be influenced by various factors, including biting pressure, tooth morphology, skin elasticity, dental cast duplication, timing, and image quality. This review article discusses the potential of a smartphone camera as an alternative method for 3D bitemark analysis. Bitemark evidence on human skin and food should be immediately recorded or duplicated to retrieve long-lasting proof, allowing for a sufficient examination period. Various studies utilizing two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) technologies have been developed to obtain an adequate bitemark analysis. 3D imaging technology provides accurate and precise analysis. However, the currently available method using an intraoral scanner (IOS) requires high-cost specialized equipment and a well-trained operator. The numerous advantages of monoscopic photogrammetry may lead to a novel method of 3D bitemark analysis in forensic odontology. Smartphone cameras and monoscopic photogrammetry methodology could lead to a novel method of 3D bitemark analysis with an efficient cost and readily available equipment.

O suburbanismo fantástico é um subgênero definido por vincular a maturação do protagonista à jornada do herói das obras de fantasia – marcada por uma perspectiva branca e androcêntrica. Por isso, se mostra importante quando Bia, a protagonista de Mate-me por Favor subverte os elementos costumeiros do subgênero. Neste artigo, a compararemos com o clássico do suburbanismo fantástico, Conta Comigo, com intuito de compreender suas contribuições para o subgênero.

Abstract The Simon effect is typically larger for older people than for young adults, maybe due to age-related decline in inhibitory capabilities. 32 right-handed aged people (5 male, 27 female; mean of 67,1 years ± 5,5) participated in this study. In screening were used the Mini-Mental State Examination and the Center for Epidemiological Study Depression Scale. Then, half of the participants practiced the spatial incompatibility task before the Simon task and the other group was only tested on the Simon task. The analysis of variance considering practice (incompatible, no-practice group) and correspondence (corresponding, non-corresponding) revealed a two-way interaction (F = 7.07; p = 0.012; ?p2 = 0.191) showing that the Simon effect was eliminated in the incompatible practice group, but remained intact in the group with no previous practice. These results indicated that cognitive processes required to the transfer of learning are preserved in elderly, being potentially useful to influence spatial inhibitory capabilities.

Os autores mostram a importância da participação multidisciplinar no tratamento do paciente oncológico no que diz respeito à prevenção e tratamento das sequelas orais decorrentes da irradiação de cabeça e pescoço. Os principais efeitos secundários são: xerostomia, mucosite, cárie de radiação e osteorradionecrose; cabendo ao cirurgião-dentista agir preventivamente no sentido de evitar o aparecimento dessas seqüelas ou amenizar seus efeitos.

A vivência da pandemia da Covid-19 incita ações emergenciais e estruturais no contexto da educação. A inserção das Tecnologias da Informação e da Comunicação (TICs) no espaço educativo instaura mais uma ferramenta para a mediação do processo de ensino, modifica a arquitetura da aprendizagem e reconfigura, assim, modos de construir o fazer educativo. Dessa forma, o texto em cena se constitui como uma percepção dos estudantes em torno das tecnologias educacionais em sua formação. Como estratégia investigativa foi utilizado um questionário semiestruturado, o qual foi aplicado de forma on-line por intermédio do Google forms e uma roda de conversa. Participaram 24 estudantes de um curso de Licenciatura em Computação de uma universidade pública na cidade de Manaus. Os resultados emergiram a partir da análise de conteúdo, que como uma técnica de análise qualitativa, destacou duas categorias: i) as tecnologias educacionais no processo educacional e ii) a incidência das tecnologias da educação em seu processo formativo. Ressalta-se, por fim, que os desafios dessa conjuntura reverberam a necessidade de reforçar que a formação docente é contínua e, em relação às inovações tecnológicas, exige uma constância diante das inúmeras modificações que forjam esse campo.

Resumo: A Semiologia Médica representa a ponte entre os ciclos básico e profissionalizante do curso médico. Neste artigo, o ensino da Semiologia é enfatizado como essencial ao raciocínio clínico que irá conduzir ao diagnóstico e ao estabelecimento da boa relação médico-paciente. São levantadas considerações acerca dos objetivos, logística, segmentos envolvidos, estruturação e desenvolvimento do curso, baseadas em experiência vivida na Universidade de Brasília.

Basketball is a team sport with short, high intensity movement patterns and rapid and frequent changes of direction. Strength, agility and speed, in addition to specific technical skills, are essential for good performance in athletes of this sport. The objective of the study was to verify the effect of a traditional periodization on physical-motor indicators and on specific technical skills in young basketball players. Nineteen young basketball players (15.4 ± 1.3 years), with at least 12 months of training experience, underwent a 5-month periodization. Two physical-motor indicators (countermovement jump (CMJ); and anaerobic capacity (Line Drill)) and two specific technical skills (Dribbling and Shooting) were evaluated at the PRE and POST training moments. To test the effect of training on physical-motor variables and technical skills, the paired Student's t test was used. The 95% confidence interval of the average relative gain (Δ%) for each variable was calculated. The effect size was analyzed using Cohen's d (p≤ 0.05). Significant differences were found between the PRE and POST moments in the CMJ (34.02 vs. 38.64 cm; p

Foram avaliadas 37 radiografias de articulações coxofemorais de cães provenientes do Departamento de Radiologia do Hospital Veterinário Dr. Vicente Borelli, em Aracaju-SE, classificadas quanto ao grau de displasia coxofemoral (DCF) mensurados o ângulo de Norberg, o percentual de cobertura da cabeça femoral, o ângulo de inclinação e o índice cortical bilateral e obteve-se como valores médios em animais hígidos 105±2,77, 55,2±4,83, 144±5,3 e 0,3221±0,0314 e displásicos 93,2±9,33, 44,3±12, 153±6,44 e 0,2832±0,0311, respectivamente.Fora obtido uma menor porcentagem de cobertura, menor ângulo de Norberg e maior grau de DCF em fêmeas, o que contrapõe a literatura estabelecida, as variáveis que mais se associaram à patologia foram o ângulo de Norberg, o percentual de cobertura da cabeça femoral, a idade, a raça e o sexo. O ângulo de inclinação e o índice cortical não demonstraram associação com a DCF.

We hypothesized that the prevalence of exercise intolerance (EI, peak O2 uptake < 83%pred.) is not significantly affected by body mass index (BMI) in adults undergoing cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of EI and the influence of BMI in asymptomatic adults. The results of 780 adults (age 41 ± 13 years) who underwent CPET were evaluated. Participants were stratified according to BMI: normal weight (n = 227), overweight (n = 198), and obese class 1 (n = 155), 2 (n = 131), and 3 (n = 69). After cardiovascular risk assessment, the participants underwent CPET on a treadmill ramp protocol. The prevalence of EI was 20, 16, 21, 25, and 21% in the stratified groups respectively, and no significant differences were found. Predictors of EI were physical inactivity, age, and smoking. The prevalence of EI in asymptomatic adults is considerable, regardless of BMI. The obesity-related reduction in cardiorespiratory fitness seems to be as clinically relevant as in non-obese counterparts.

O conhecimento das interações entre os tipos de cobertura e uso da terra e seus padrões espaço-temporais é fundamental para orientar a utilização racional do espaço. O avanço significativo na disponibilidade de produtos de sensoriamento remoto e de técnicas de processamento em larga escala têm impulsionado o surgimento de importantes iniciativas, como o Projeto MapBiomas. Contudo, há a necessidade de ampliar o conhecimento sobre as vantagens e desvantagens dessas novas tecnologias e produtos. Assim, este estudo buscou compreender as potencialidades dessas novas abordagens através da comparação pixel a pixel dos Mapas de Uso e Cobertura dos Projetos MapBiomas e SEA/2015, este último usado como referência espacial, para duas áreas pilotos do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Os resultados alcançados sugerem que os Mapas de Uso e Cobertura da Terra do Projeto MapBiomas apresentam alto grau de confiabilidade e se posicionam, no cenário atual, como um importante conjunto de dados e referência para a realização de mapeamentos temáticos.

In comparison with other forms of public-private partnerships (PPP) in education of more recent emergence such as voucher programs or charter schools inspired by the postulates of the theory of public choice, supply-side subsidies for private schools usually respond to less explicit theories of change. Indeed, most of these policies are addressed by specialized literature as unique and highly idiosyncratic arrangements, rather than examples of a particular variety of PPP. The frequent absence of a theory of change that explicitly presents the assumptions, objectives and mechanisms of this type of policy, makes it necessary to reconstruct it from a perspective of policy sociology based on the analysis of the behavior of agents and economic, political, institutional and cultural drivers that lie behind their adoption in each particular context. Based on a review of the literature and the analysis of the legislative debates of the 1947-2006 period, this article seeks to examine the process of adoption of the regulatory framework defined by the policy of supply-side subsidies for private schools in Argentina from an evolutionary perspective of political and cultural economy. The article distinguishes three periods for analytical purposes among which an evolutionary logic of nonlinear continuity prevails, subject to the contextual vagaries and driven by different actors in the field of ideas and political practice.

Abstract An adult male puma (Puma concolor), hit by a car in an urban area, died three days later despite the therapeutic support provided. At necropsy, multiple firm nodules were identified in the gastric mucosa. The nodules were coated by an intact mucosa with a central opening from which reddish and cylindrical nematodes protruded into the lumen. Twenty-seven nematodes were retrieved for morphological and morphometric evaluations. During histopathological examination of the gastric tissue, the adult nematodes appear in longitudinal and transverse sections, surrounded by thick bands of collagen, interspersed with mixed inflammatory infiltrates. The nematodes had an eosinophilic cuticle with caudal serrated projections (bulbar type), coelomyarian musculature, pseudocoelom, and females with uterus containing numerous larvated eggs, characteristics consistent with the Cylicospirura genus. Morphologically, female nematodes had six large tricuspid teeth in the oral cavity and the vulva had an opening anterior to the esophagus–intestinal junction. Male nematodes had five pairs of small papillae near the tip of the tail. These findings were consistent with Cylicospirura felineus. This parasite should be included in the differential diagnosis of nodular gastric wall lesions in wild felids.

Este artículo se centra en el Diccionario etimológico del castellano usual de Leopoldo Lugones (1931-1938) con el objetivo de dilucidar su posición sobre la lengua, en particular a partir de su propuesta lexicográfica, caracterizada por el énfasis puesto en el componente etimológico. El proyecto de Lugones participa en las intensas disputas que se suscitaron en el campo intelectual argentino de fines del siglo XIX y comienzos del XX en torno a las representaciones culturales. En particular, se pondrá el foco en las polémicas respecto de la cuestión de la lengua y la controvertida idea de formación de un “idioma de los argentinos”. La impugnación de varios de los criterios adoptados por ciertos diccionarios de regionalismos, indigenismos, americanismos o nacionales, a partir de la disruptiva modalidad lexicográfica fundada en la etimología, cobra sentido histórico en el marco de las nuevas condiciones políticas (pero también económicas, sociales, culturales y demográficas) que tuvieron lugar a partir de 1930 como consecuencia del primer golpe de estado en el país.

Neste artigo compartilhamos reverberações de uma experiência formativa na cidade de Santos, em São Paulo, e da articulação de um Observatório Internacional de Práticas de Gestão Autônoma da Medicação (GAM), com vistas à produção de estratégias emancipatórias e libertárias em saúde mental. Nos últimos anos, novas ações de cuidado baseadas no paradigma da Atenção Psicossocial vêm sendo propostas sem, entretanto, serem acompanhadas de forma a evidenciar suas potencialidades e limitações no cotidiano dos serviços. A partir de metodologia participativa e colaborativa, percebemos que a formação para a GAM traz materialidade aos princípios da Reforma Psiquiátrica Brasileira, possibilitando aos trabalhadores um exercício radical de problematização de aspectos sutis e pouco incorporados em suas práticas, convocando a um percurso a ser feito junto dos usuários. Especificamente, junto a pessoas com problemas com drogas, ressaltamos a inseparabilidade do debate sobre as drogas prescritas e não prescritas, presente nas experimentações e buscas pelo prazer, pelo alívio da dor, pela construção de lugar nas relações de consumo, e pela reinvenção de possíveis. Acreditamos que o Observatório GAM viabilizará a difusão da incidência da GAM sobre as diferentes das práticas manicomiais do contemporâneo, necessariamente, medicalizantes.

Most teachers have specialization in academic formation. The search for knowledgepromotes vocational training and contributes to the success of the objectives of inclusion.

The aims of this study were: 1) to evaluate the sports potential of young basketball players; 2) to identify variables that discriminate sports potential assessed by coaches; 3) to verify the relationship between classification of the multidimensional profile of athletes and classification of the sports potential by coaches. Sixty-two young basketball players aged 15.6±1.1 years from U-15 (n = 24) and U-17 (n = 38) categories participated in the study. A test battery was applied to evaluate sports potential indicators: 1) anthropometric; 2) physicomotor; 3) psychological; 4) skills; 5) socio-environmental; 6) maturational and 7) sports potential. Cluster analysis was performed in three groups: high, medium and low potential. Student's t-test was used for the comparison between athletes evaluated by the coach as excellent and the others and the Chi-Square test to verify the relationship between sports potential classifications. It was observed that in the high-potential group, athletes were chronologically older, with higher % predicted adult height (PMS), competitive and determined sports orientation, higher body size, lower skinfold summation, and greater physicomotor performance. In comparison with other athletes, high-potential basketball players presented higher stature, wider wingspan, longer limb length, greater predicted adult stature and higher Z score of the % PMS. It could be concluded that the multidimensional approach was useful for the evaluation of the sports potential of young basketball players, requiring the use of multidimensional variables, in addition to coaches' opinion regarding the potential of their athletes.

Basketball is a sport modality that imposes important physiological loads on players during competition. The aim of the study was to verify the effect of training with wave periodization on the physical capacities of athletes. Explosive strength of lower limbs; aerobic resistance; maximum strength of upper limb; and resting heart rate (HRrest) at PRE and POST moments of 16 athletes submitted to a 4-month training period were evaluated. The internal training load was monitored by the method proposed by Carl Foster in each training session. Statistically significant differences were observed in VO2max of 50.5± 4.9 vs. 54.0± 6.1 ml/kg/min (p

Introdução: O excesso de peso (EP) é um grave problema de saúde pública. Dentre universitários, o estilo de vida pouco saudável pode favorecer o aumento dos níveis de EP. Objetivo: Avaliar o índice de massa corpórea (IMC) e verificar a prevalência de EP em universitários de diferentes cursos e sexos. Métodos: Estudo transversal com a participação de 172 (27,6 ± 8,6 anos) universitários voluntários, sendo 76 mulheres (26,1 ± 7,7 anos) e 96 homens (28,7 ± 9,2 anos) matriculados regularmente nos cursos de Educação Física (EF), Direito (DIR), Logística (LOG), Engenharia (ENG), Recursos Humanos (RH) e Administração (ADM). Todos os voluntários preencheram um questionário para identificação da prática de exercícios físicos e foram submetidos à avaliação do IMC. Resultados: O estudo apresentou a prevalência de EP entre os universitários, nos seus respectivos gêneros e cursos, sendo mulheres (38,1%) e homens (54,2%). A análise individual por curso revelou as seguintes prevalência de EP: RH (60%), ENG (53,6%), DIR (49,1%), EF (43,9%), LOG (33,3%) e ADM (30,8%). Conclusão: Constataram-se altas taxas de EP na amostra geral (47,1%), sendo que os homens apresentaram maiores índices. Os cursos de RH e ADM apresentaram maior e menor prevalência de EP, respectivamente. Nos praticantes de exercício físico, a prevalência de EP foi ligeiramente menor, sugerindo a dieta como maior fator influente no controle do peso corporal. ABSTRACT Overweight in university students: a comparative study between academics of different courses and genders Introduction: Overweight (OW) is a serious public health problem. Among university students, unhealthy lifestyle may favor increased of PE levels. Aim: To evaluate the body mass index (BMI) and verify the prevalence of OW in university students of different courses and genders. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study involving 172 volunteers (27.6 ± 8.6 years), 76 women (26.1± 7.7 years) and 96 men (28.7 ± 9.2 years) enrolled regularly follow courses: Law (DIR), Physical Education (EF), Logistics (LOG), Engineering (ENG), Human Resources (RH) and Administration (ADM). All volunteers completed a questionnaire to identify physical exercise and were submitted to BMI assessment. Results: The study showed the prevalence of PE among university students, in their respective genders and courses, being women (38.1%) and men (54.2%). The individual analysis by course revealed the following PE prevalence: RH (60%), ENG (53.6%), DIR (49.1%), EF (43.9%), LOG (33.3%) and ADM (30.8%). Conclusion: High rates of OW were observed in the general sample (47.1%), and men presented higher indices. The RH and ADM courses presented higher and lower prevalence of OW, respectively. In physical exercise practitioners, the prevalence of OW was slightly lower, suggesting that diet is the most influential factor in controlling body weight.

Sedentary behavior may play an important role for health outcomes, regardless of the amount of physical activity in daily life (PADL).We aimed to evaluate and compare sedentary behavior as well as physical capabilities in physically active smokers and non-smokers. Twenty-eight adult smokers and 38 non-smokers free of lung disease were matched for age, sex, body mass index, body composition, cardiovascular risk and moderate-to-vigorous PADL. Participants underwent spirometry, cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), six-minute walk test (6MWT), isokinetic dynamometry, and body composition (bioelectrical impedance).Despite the similar amount of moderate-to-vigorous PADL(median, 4.5h/week for smokers and 4.0h/week for non-smokers), smokers spent more time lying (median, 8.2h/week: 95% confidence interval, 5.4 to 19.1 vs. 6.1h/week: 3.7 to 11.2) and in sedentary activities (median, 100h/week: 66 to 129 vs. 78h/week: 55 to 122) compared to non-smokers. Smokers also presented worse spirometry, peak V’O2 and maximum heart rate in the CPET, 6MWT, and isokinetic indices (p

ABSTRACT: A 6-year-old Fuzzy Lop rabbit was referred to a veterinary hospital with a complaint of lameness. In addition to a vertebral subluxation, two radiopaque and well-defined structures were revealed by radiographic evaluation. Ultrasonographically, the masses were characterized as parenchymal structures with diffuse mineralization and formation of reverberation artifacts, suggesting presence of gas. These two structures were excised during a laparotomy and Clostridium tertium was isolated. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of C. tertium infection in a pet animal.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Obesity is considered a chronic low-grade inflammatory disease that shares mediators of inflammation with psoriasis, such as TNF-α and IL-6. The relationship between these two conditions involves factors such as predisposition and response to therapy, in addition to an association with cardiovascular disease. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of adiposity as determined by body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) evaluation in patients with psoriasis. METHODS: BMI, WC and body composition by DXA were measured in 42 psoriatic patients without joint complaints and in 41 control patients using standard procedures. In the comparison between cases and controls, we used Pearson’s Χ2 test or Fisher’s exact test, and the nonparametric Mann-Whitney test. The difference between the diverse classification methods for obesity was evaluated using McNemar’s test. To test the level of agreement between those variables, we used the weighted kappa coefficient. RESULTS: There was no difference in the prevalence of obesity among cases and controls. Both BMI and WC had low agreement with measures of body fat evaluated by DXA. With the use of DXA scanning, prevalence of overweight and obesity in patients with psoriasis was 83.3%, which constitutes a strong evidence of the need for intervention on this metabolic parameter. CONCLUSION: Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry was more capable of identifying obesity compared with BMI and WC both in psoriatic and control patients.

Objective : To determine whether a restrictive pattern on spirometry is associated with the level of physical activity in daily life (PADL), as well as with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, in asymptomatic adults. Methods : A total of 374 participants (mean age, 41 ± 14 years) underwent spirometry, which included the determination of FVC and FEV1. A restrictive pattern on spirometry was defined as an FEV1/FVC ratio > 0.7 and an FVC < 80% of the predicted value. After conducting demographic, anthropometric, and CVD risk assessments, we evaluated body composition, muscle function, and postural balance, as well as performing cardiopulmonary exercise testing and administering the six-minute walk test. The PADL was quantified with a triaxial accelerometer. Results : A restrictive pattern on spirometry was found in 10% of the subjects. After multivariate logistic regression, adjusted for confounders (PADL and cardiorespiratory fitness), the following variables retained significance (OR; 95% CI) as predictors of a restrictive pattern: systemic arterial hypertension (17.5; 1.65-184.8), smoking (11.6; 1.56-87.5), physical inactivity (8.1; 1.43-46.4), larger center-of-pressure area while standing on a force platform (1.34; 1.05-1.71); and dyslipidemia (1.89; 1.12-1.98). Conclusions : A restrictive pattern on spirometry appears to be common in asymptomatic adults. We found that CVD risk factors, especially systemic arterial hypertension, smoking, and physical inactivity, were directly associated with a restrictive pattern, even when the analysis was adjusted for PADL and cardiorespiratory fitness. Longitudinal studies are needed in order to improve understanding of the etiology of a restrictive pattern as well as to aid in the design of preventive strategies.

Reconstruindo Lênin: uma biografia intelectual,de Tamás Krausz, não foca tanto em detalhes da vida pessoal de Lênin, sendo centralmente uma reconstrução do seu desenvolvimento teórico e político, que resgata e submete a balanço seu pensamento, visando reabilitá-lo à luz dos desafios atuais. Fruto de 40 anos de extenso trabalho de pesquisa e escrita, recebeu o Prêmio Memorial Deutscher de 2015, atribuído anualmente à melhor e mais inovadora publicação baseada na tradição marxista. Publicado pela primeira vez em 2015, pela Monthly Review (EUA) (KRAUZ, 2015), Reconstruindo Lênin chegou ao Brasil através da Boitempo no propício ano do centenário da Revolução Russa, em que as ricas experiências gestadas a partir de Outubro de 1917 têm sido debatidas avidamente por marxistas. A proposta do presente texto é debater o retorno a Lênin feito por Krausz, apresentando em detalhes a obra e destacando seus pontos fortes e fracos.

O consumo da carne de frango é comum no Brasil por ser um alimento proteico de alto valor biológico e baixo custo, sendo acessível a toda população. Uma causa comum de infecções alimentares tem sido a ingestão de produtos avícolas contaminados, crus ou insuficientemente cozidos, fazendo da contaminação de cortes de frango fontes potenciais de Campylobacter spp. para o homem. O objetivo deste estudo foi detectar a presença de Campylobacter e verificar a possível veiculação da campilobacteriose através de cortes e miúdos de frangos resfriados e comercializados para consumo em supermercados de grande porte no estado do Rio de Janeiro. Para isso, foram coletadas 40 amostras resfriadas de frango, das quais 19 foram embaladas pela indústria e 21 manipuladas pelos supermercados, submetendo-as a três metodologias distintas denominadas: in natura, enriquecimento e incubação da água de lavagem. Os resultados obtidos revelaram a presença de espécies de Campylobacter zoonóticas resistentes a antimicrobianos em cortes de frango comercializados para consumo humano, indicando que pedaços e miúdos de frango crus ou insuficientemente cozidos são fontes potenciais de campilobacteriose para a população. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The consumption of chicken meat is common in Brazil because this protein-rich food is low cost, has high nutritional value, and is accessible to the entire population. A common cause of foodborne illness has been the ingestion of contaminated, raw, or undercooked poultry products, making contaminated chicken meat a potential source of Campylobacter spp. to humans. The objective of this study was to detect the presence of Campylobacter and assess the potential transmission of campylobacteriosis through refrigerated chicken meat and organs sold for consumption in large supermarkets in the state of Rio de Janeiro. For this purpose, 40 samples of refrigerated chicken were collected; 19 of these were industrially packed and 21 were manipulated in the supermarkets. The samples were subjected to analysis using three different methodologies: in natura, by enrichment, and by incubation of the rinse water. The results revealed the presence of zoonotic, antimicrobial-resistant Campylobacter species in chicken meat marketed for human consumption, indicating that raw or undercooked chicken pieces and organs are potential sources of human campylobacteriosis.

As a result of discharging of liquid effluents of the Angra dos Reis power plants, 137Cs and 60Co radionuclides are the greatest contributors to increasing of radioactivity level in the sediments of the Saco de Piraquara de Fora (SPF) inlet. The thermodynamic and kinetic of sorption of the two radionuclides in sediments of the impact area from the effluent liquid discharge were study to investigate their role in the radionuclide distribution patterns and trends. Cobalt sorption is slightly higher than the cesium one, but mostly both distribution coefficient values were lower than the literature data, which could be ascribed to the predominance of the kaolinite clay in the sediments. For both metals the sorption was higher onto the sediment with the highest cation exchange capacity. Although the velocities of sorption are slow for both metals, both may accumulate in considerable amount in sediments and their sorption is irreversible: 60Co and 137Cs accumulate in orders of magnitude of 1010 and 109 Bq g-1sediment, respectively, which shows the ability of the sediments to adsorb much of the radionuclides released by the power plants. In the range of SPF water temperature, as much the sorption as the desorption of the two metals increase with temperature; however, in general, the retention rate of the metals in the sediments remain constant. The sorption sites are heterogeneous as the sorption data could be fitted by the Langmuir and Freündlich isotherms. The process of sorption of Co and Cs is endothermic, which is spontaneous at low temperature.

PURPOSE: To compare salivary and serum cortisol levels, salivary alpha-amylase (sAA), and unstimulated whole saliva (UWS) flow rate in pregnant and non-pregnant women. METHOD: A longitudinal study was conducted at a health promotion center of a university hospital. Nine pregnant and 12 non-pregnant women participated in the study. Serum and UWS were collected and analyzed every trimester and twice a month during the menstrual cycle. The salivary and serum cortisol levels were determined by chemiluminescence assay and the sAA was processed in an automated biochemistry analyzer. RESULTS: Significant differences between the pregnant and non-pregnant groups were found in median [interquartile range] levels of serum cortisol (23.8 µL/dL [19.4-29.4] versus 12.3 [9.6-16.8], p
