Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (SPA) are painful autoimmune, acute or chronic pathologies the joints, muscles and other tissues. Global care implies both medical more or less aggressive therapies, and physical treatments ght against pain and stiffness, vicious positions, and also improve autonomy in daily life. Anti-inammatory properties of millimetric waves (MMW) have been identied since the end of 20th century, and recently tested using miniaturized MMW transmitter bracelet. We report here 4 cases (2SPA and 2RA) who experienced pain relief, functional and autonomy improvement, while limiting their intake of analgesics. Further extensive investigations are required.

Abstract

This paper presents a reflection (not a review) about the basic mechanisms involved in biological and therapeutic effects of millimetre waves (MMW). From articles, reviews and meta-analysis, a special interest was given to low power exposure to MMW (approximately 10 mW/cm 2 or less). Excluding thermal effects, several exclusive electromagnetic interactions were presented, with mainly membrane and volt gated calcium channel as targets (VGcc), involving calcium influxes and water contribution. It appeared that thermal effects were not necessary and could be avoided. This led to consider and discuss the use of pulsed MMW signals (not continuous waves) that could limit or avoid thermal effects, allow lower power requirement, best spectral bandwidth targeting, and specific properties related to currents onset/cut-off.

Abstract

ObjectiveAfter a previous survey on the incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at onset of type 1 diabetes in children in 2013–2014 in Italy, we aimed to verify a possible decline in the incidence of DKA at onset during a national prevention campaign.DesignProspective observational study.SettingMulticentre study throughout Italy.InterventionNational awareness campaign started in November 2015 and held until December 2017.PatientsDuring 2016 and 2017 we collected data on all patients aged 0–18 years with new-onset diabetes.Main outcome measuresDKA (pH ResultsRecords (n=2361) of children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes were collected from 58 out of 68 (85.3%) centres of the original survey participants and 100% of the previously surveyed tertiary centres. Overall, DKA was observed in 1124 patients, with an increased rate when compared with the previous survey (47.6% vs 38.5%, p=0.002), and severe DKA in 15.3%. In children below 6 years, DKA was observed in 323 out of 617 (52.5%) and severe DKA in 16.7%; in this age group, occurrence of DKA reduced by 21.3% (p=0.009). DKA treatment according to the ISPED guidelines was adopted in 95% of the centres, with a 27% improvement (p=0.025).ConclusionsDuring a 2-year awareness campaign, DKA at onset of diabetes in children and adolescents 0–18 years is still common and increased when compared with the 2013–2014 survey.

Abstract

Manual scoring of polysomnography data is labor-intensive and time-consuming, and most existing software does not account for subjective differences and user variability. Therefore, we evaluated a supervised machine learning algorithm, SomnivoreTM, for automated wake–sleep stage classification. We designed an algorithm that extracts features from various input channels, following a brief session of manual scoring, and provides automated wake-sleep stage classification for each recording. For algorithm validation, polysomnography data was obtained from independent laboratories, and include normal, cognitively-impaired, and alcohol-treated human subjects (total n = 52), narcoleptic mice and drug-treated rats (total n = 56), and pigeons (n = 5). Training and testing sets for validation were previously scored manually by 1–2 trained sleep technologists from each laboratory. F-measure was used to assess precision and sensitivity for statistical analysis of classifier output and human scorer agreement. The algorithm gave high concordance with manual visual scoring across all human data (wake 0.91 ± 0.01; N1 0.57 ± 0.01; N2 0.81 ± 0.01; N3 0.86 ± 0.01; REM 0.87 ± 0.01), which was comparable to manual inter-scorer agreement on all stages. Similarly, high concordance was observed across all rodent (wake 0.95 ± 0.01; NREM 0.94 ± 0.01; REM 0.91 ± 0.01) and pigeon (wake 0.96 ± 0.006; NREM 0.97 ± 0.01; REM 0.86 ± 0.02) data. Effects of classifier learning from single signal inputs, simple stage reclassification, automated removal of transition epochs, and training set size were also examined. In summary, we have developed a polysomnography analysis program for automated sleep-stage classification of data from diverse species. Somnivore enables flexible, accurate, and high-throughput analysis of experimental and clinical sleep studies.

Abstract

Objetivo. O presente estudo objetivou quantificar parâmetros bioquímicos, hormonais e hematológicos de atletas iniciantes e experientes na prática de Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ). Método. Participaram 16 homens adultos, alocados em três grupos: iniciante (INI, n = 4), experiente (EXP, n = 4) e controle (CON, n = 8), com diferença no tempo de prática entre os grupos de 5,05 ± 0,7 anos (INI = 1,95 ± 1,5 anos versus EXP = 7,0 ± 0,8 anos). Resultados. Observou-se diferença hematológica discreta, apenas associada à contagem e ao percentual do número de eosinófilos do INI em comparação aos demais (p < 0,05). A concentração de magnésio foi superior no EXP em relação ao CON (1,96 ± 0,09 mg/dL versus 1,75 ± 0,11 mg/dL; p = 0,03), ocorrendo o mesmo para creatinina (1,09 ± 0,06 mg/dL versus 0,88 ± 0,06 mg/dL; p = 0,01). Além disto, os índices de ligação do ferro apresentaram diferenças entre o EXP e CON, com INI exibindo valores intermediários. Por fim, não foram observadas diferenças significantes nos níveis de cortisol no EXP (502,60 ± 162,42 nmol/L) e INI (427,15 ± 157,16 nmol/L) e de testosterona (EXP = 5,57 ± 0,75 ng/dL contra INI = 6,43 ± 1,01 ng/dL). Conclusões. Com base nos resultados, pode-se inferir que a prática crônica do BJJ pode promover algumas alterações no quadro hematológico, bioquímico e hormonal dos praticantes. Objetivos.

Objectives. This study aimed to quantify biochemical, hormonal and hematological profile of beginner and experienced athletes in brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ). Methods. In this study participated 16 adult men, divided into three groups: beginners (INI, n = 4), experienced (EXP, n = 4) and control (CON, n = 8), with differences in practice duration among the groups of 5,05 ± 0,7 years (INI = 1,95 ± 1,5 years versus EXP = 7,0 ± 0,8 years). Results. It has been observed discrete hematological difference, only associated to counting and to percentage of eosinophils number INI in comparison to the others (p < 0,05). Magnesium concentration was higher in the EXP than CON (1,96 ± 0,09 mg/dL versus 1,75 ± 0,11 mg/dL; p = 0,03), occurring the same for creatinine (1,09 ± 0,06 mg/dL versus 0,88 ± 0,06 mg/dL; p = 0,01). Besides that, the indexes of iron binding have presented differences between the EXP and CON, with INI showing intermediate scores. Finally, it were not observed variation of cortisol levels in the EXP (502,60 ± 162,42 nmol/L) and INI (427,15 ± 157,16 nmol/L), as well as for testosterone (EXP = 5,57 ± 0,75 ng/dL against INI = 6,43 ± 1,01 ng/dL). Conclusions. Based on the results, it can be inferred that chronic practice of BJJ could provoke alterations in the hematological, biochemical and hormonal conditions in their athletes.

Submitted by Vitor Silverio Rodrigues (vitorsrodrigues@reitoria.unesp.br) on 2014-05-27T11:22:02Z No. of bitstreams: 0 Made available in DSpace on 2014-05-27T11:22:02Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2006-11-01 Context and objective: Records of contact with mercury (Hg) exist for more than 3500 years and several problems related to the use of this element can be noticed. Considering inexistence of current reports about it, quality of life perception evaluation was studied in people chronically intoxicated by mercury in an industrial environment. Design and setting: This is a cross-sectional descriptive observational study. Information from 47 urban-industrial workers from lamps manufacturing in São Paulo, clinically diagnosed as intoxicated by mercury and currently followed by the Occupational Health Service of Faculdade de Medicine da Universidade de São Paulo, with average age of 41.7 years old, was considered. Methods: SF36 questionnaire application was performed, with inferences tested by χ-square proof, by Spearman linear correlation and Mann-Whitney non-parametric test, adopting p < 0.05 as significant level. Results: In the eight domains, observed medians are 40% for physical functioning; 0 for physical function; 30% for body pain; 30% for general health; 22.2% for vitality; 50% for social functioning; 0 for emotional role and 36% for mental health. Correlation between age and SF36 domains does not reveal statistical significance, except for physical functioning, indicating that lower scores presented by older people in this domain are not followed by changes on other ones. Conclusions: Values obtained in people chronically intoxicated by mercury are actually lower, in the motor and mental scope components. Some instruments domains are higher for men than for women. Older ages are inversely associated to good performance in physical function domain. © Copyright Moreira Jr. Editora. Todos os direitos reservados.

Abstract

The archaeological excavation of ‘Piazza Bovio’ at Naples has yielded a large deposit, characterized by exceptional findings relating to the production of a glass workshop dated to the sixth to seventh centuries ad. The workshop features, coupled with the presence of broken glass for recycling and abundant glass scrap, leads us to identify the area as part of a secondary workshop. Selected finished objects and glass scraps were characterized by SEM/EDS and LA–ICP–MS and compared with major compositional groups of glass recognized in the western Mediterranean during the first millennium ad. The aim is to verify the hypothesis of a secondary production in Naples, using raw glass from the Levant area. Three different natron groups were identified on the basis of the colour and the chemical composition. The naturally coloured (blue–green) group is consistent with Levantine I glass. The yellow–green group is associated with HIMT glass, while the colourless glass was produced with different raw materials and probably in another specialized workshop. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Objective: Although some scientific information on electronic body protectors in taekwondo is available, no research has been done to assess the impact of kicks in a competitive situation. The purpose of this study, then, was to assess the energy absorbed by these protectors from kicks performed in an actual taekwondo competition. Methods: Subjects consisted of junior (14-17 years) and senior (?18 years) male taekwondo-in, who participated in an open tournament. Data on the energy imparted by valid kicks in Joules (J) were collected from a public visual electronic monitor. Results: Energy was higher for the seniors: 264.31 ± 56.63 J versus 224.38 ± 48.23 J for the juniors (eta2 = 0.121). The seniors scored lower in percent impact but the effect was trivial: 123.46 ± 24.77% versus 136.70 ± 26.33% (eta2 = 0.087). Conclusions: The difference between senior and junior taekwondo-in in absolute energy generated was small, while the difference in relative energy impact was trivial in favour of the junior taekwondo athletes.
