Historically, the teaching of anatomy within the area of Physical Education has not focused its content on the practice of the course of studies; it has not been contextualized in its difficulties. This is an attempt to show that the subject that is offered to us could answer the needs of a dynamic Physical Education, and because of this, it is important to highlight the functional contribution which adapts in a more realistic sense to our teaching practice. The functional anatomy that is proposed goes beyond the static description of the different regions of the human body, having a wider and more dynamic vision of the body in motion. From this idea, we try to see the contents of the subject not as something rigid or invariable, but to use them to think and to create spaces of discussion on our practice and to wonder, how a descriptive anatomy reduced to only its descriptive contents may helps us. The anatomy, in this aspect, must begin from its own field and here lies our main concern as regards focusing on its functions, starting from the movement and not from the dead bodies where we observe the lack of dynamics

Históricamente, la enseñanza de la anatomí­a dentro del ámbito de la Educación Fí­sica no ha focalizado sus contenidos en la práctica misma de esta carrera, no ha estado contextualizada en sus problemáticas; por lo tanto, intentaremos demostrar que la temática que planteamos puede responder a las necesidades de una Educación Fí­sica dinámica. Para ello, es de vital importancia resaltar el aporte funcional que se adapta de una forma más real a nuestra práctica docente. La anatomí­a funcional que se propone trasciende la descripción estática de las diferentes regiones del cuerpo humano, teniendo una visión más amplia de dicho cuerpo en movimiento. A partir de esta idea, se trata de ver a los contenidos de la asignatura no como rí­gidos o invariables sino utilizándolos para reflexionar y crear espacios de discusión sobre nuestra práctica y preguntarnos qué nos aporta una anatomí­a reducida solo a sus contenidos descriptivos. La anatomí­a, en este aspecto, debe partir del propio campo y es aquí­ donde surgen nuestras inquietudes en torno a enfocarla desde sus funciones, partiendo del movimiento y no desde el preparado cadavérico donde se observa la carencia de una dinámica real para nuestro campo

Os processos judiciais na área da saúde têm crescido de forma exponencial. A judicialização de procedimentos, no entanto, ainda não foi discutida e pode ampliar o escopo de avaliação da atenção à saúde. O objetivo deste estudo é investigar as ações judiciais para acesso a procedimentos ambulatoriais e hospitalares do Estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil, no período de 1999 a 2009. É um estudo descritivo retrospectivo. Os procedimentos foram classificados pela Tabela Unificada do SUS e pela Tabela de Terminologia Unificada da Saúde Suplementar. Observou-se cobertura pelo SUS de 93,6%. A residência dos beneficiários localiza-se, principalmente, nas macrorregiões Centro (26,4%) e Oeste (24%). Os procedimentos mais solicitados foram internações em leitos comuns, Centro de Terapia Intensiva e cirurgias do aparelho circulatório. Este estudo aponta para as necessidades emergentes de acesso aos procedimentos de média e alta complexidade, mediante uma extensa cobertura normativa.

Background. This study investigates the effects of Brazil nut ingestion on serum lipid profile in healthy volunteers. Methods. Ten healthy subjects were enrolled in the study. Each subject was tested 4 times in a randomized crossover in relation to the ingestion of different serving sizes of the Brazil nut: 0, 5, 20, or 50 g. At each treatment point, peripheral blood was drawn before and at 1, 3, 6, 9, 24, and 48 hours and 5 and 30 days. Blood samples were tested for total cholesterol, high- and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c and LDL-c, resp.), triglycerides, selenium, aspartate and alanine aminotransferases, albumin, total protein, alkaline phosphatase, gamma GT, urea, creatinine, and C-reactive protein. Results. A significant increase of the plasma selenium levels was observed at 6 hours within the groups receiving the nuts. Serum LDL-c was significantly lower, whereas HDL-c was significantly higher 9 hours after the ingestion of 20 or 50 g of nuts. The biochemical parameters of liver and kidney function were not modified by ingestion of nuts. Conclusions. This study shows that the ingestion of a single serving of Brazil nut can acutely improve the serum lipid profile of healthy volunteers.
