ABSTRACT

Esse estudo teve como objetivo identificar e classificar os sulcos das impressões labiais obtidas, e estabelecer relação entre os tipos de sulcos presentes nas impressões labiais e o fenótipo cor da pele e o sexo. A amostra foi composta por 60 estudantes de graduação do curso de Odontologia, de ambos os sexos. Para determinação e classificação dos sulcos labiais (Tipos I, I', II, III, IV e V), fez-se uso de amostras individuais de batons para tomada das impressões em suporte de cartolina branca. O sulco labial mais comum encontrado foi o Tipo I, seguido pelo Tipo II e pelo Tipo I'. Nos sexos feminino e masculino, o Tipo I e Tipo II foram os padrões dominantes. Os sulcos do Tipo II e I` foram predominantes em melanodermas; nos faiodermas e leucoderma, no entanto, os padrões predominantes foram os Tipos I e II. Pode-se concluir que a análise da impressão labial tem o potencial para o reconhecimento do gênero de um indivíduo, embora requeira um estudo detalhado para a realização correta do queilograma...

The aim of this study was to identify and classify the grooves of lip prints obtained, and establish a relationship between the types of labial grooves present on the prints and the phenotype of skin color and gender. The sample consisted of 60 graduate students, of both sexes. For determination and classification of lip grooves (Types I, I', II, III, IV and V), individual lip printing taken from lipsticks on white cardboard were used. The most common labial groove found, according to the classification proposed by Suzuky and Tsuchihaschi (1970), was type I, followed by Type II and Type I'. In females and in males, Type I and II were the dominant patterns. The grooves of the type II and I' were prevalent in melanoderm, in faioderm and in Caucasian the predominants patterns were types I and II. It can be concluded that lip print analysis has the potential for the recognition of the gender of an individual, but requires a detailed study to correctly perform the cheilogram... (AU)

ABSTRACT

O artigo analisa a percepção de coordenadores de enfermagem dos setores assistenciais quanto aos fatores relacionados à queda de pacientes. É um estudo exploratório, descritivo, realizado em hospital público de grande porte e alta complexidade, da Cidade de Salvador (BA). Foram entrevistados 16 coordenadores de enfermagem. Os participantes apontaram, como fatores relacionados à ocorrência de quedas: a) referentes ao paciente: confusão mental e desorientação (44%), não solicitação de auxílio da enfermagem (31%) e sonolência (25%); b) relacionados ao ambiente: uso inadequado de equipamentos ou ausência de grades no leito (50%); c) relacionados à terapêutica medicamentosa: uso de tranquilizantes, sedativos e hipnóticos (44%); e d) relacionados aos cuidados de enfermagem: a falta de ações preventivas (50%), anamnese incompleta (44%). Como consequências das quedas foram citados traumatismos cranianos e exames de alto custo. Tais resultados sugerem que os coordenadores de enfermagem têm clara percepção quanto aos fatores e consequências relacionados à queda de pacientes. Implantar o Programa Nacional de Segurança do Paciente pode contribuir para melhoria dos processos assistenciais e redução do risco de quedas. Além disso, são necessários investimentos em infraestrutura física, a modernização de equipamentos, a implantação e uso de protocolos e a adoção de uma cultura organizacional centralizada na segurança do paciente.


The main objective was to analyze the perception of nursing coordinators of welfare sectors regarding factors related to patient falls. An exploratory and descriptive study was conducted in a big and complex Public Hospital in Salvador (BA). An amount of 16 nursing coordinators were interviewed. The answers indicated as factors related to falls: a) regarding the patient: mental confusion and disorientation (44%), the not request of nursing aid (31%) and somnolence (25%); b) regarding the environment: inappropriate equipment or absence of bed rails (50%); c) regarding drug therapy: use of tranquilizers, sedatives and hypnotics (44%) and d) regarding nursing care: lack of preventive actions (50%), incomplete anamnesis (44%) and inadequate care of patients at risk of falling (6 %). As consequence of the falls were cited head injuries and expensive exams. The results suggest that the nursing coordinators have clear perception on factors and consequences related to the falls. Implementing the National Patient Safety Program can contribute to the improvement of nursing processes and to the reduction of the risk of falls. In addition, investments are needed in physical infrastructure, in modernization of equipment, in deployment and use of protocols and in the adoption of an organizational culture focused on the patient's safety.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar as características agronômicas e produtivas do cultivar de girassol, Embrapa ­ 122, semeado em épocas e densidades de plantas diferentes para o Recôncavo Baiano. Os experimentos foram realizados na área da Estação Experimental da EBDA no município de Conceição do Almeida/BA e na área do IF Baiano, no município de Catu/BA. Para cada experimento utilizou-se o delineamento em blocos casualizados, com quatro tratamentos e quatro repetições. Os tratamentos foram: T1 (35.000 plantas ha-1), T2 (45.000 plantas ha-1), T3 (55.000 plantas ha-1) e T4 (75.000 plantas ha-1). Por ocasião da maturidade fisiológica (R9) foram avaliados os parâmetros altura final da planta (AP), o diâmetro da haste (DH), diâmetro de capítulos (DC), massa de 1000 aquênios (M1000) e o índice de colheita (IC), determinado pela relação entre a massa seca total acumulada da ultima coleta e da produção de aquênios e a massa de aquênios da parcela útil para determinação da produtividade (kg ha-1), com a correção da umidade para 13%. Ocorreu a interação positiva entre o fator época ao longo do crescimento em AP, DH e NF. As épocas de semeadura e as populações de plantas propostas podem ter sido negativamente influenciadas pelo baixo índice pluviométrico verificado nas duas localidades que ocasionou diminuição no diâmetro dos capítulos, peso de 1000 aquênios e, portanto, a redução da produtividade.


The objective of this work was to evaluate the agronomic and productive characteristics of cultivating of sunflower, Embrapa 122, sown at different times and plant populations for the Bahian Recôncavo. The experiments had been carried through in the area of the Experimental Station of the EBDA, in the city of Conceição of the Almeida/BA and in the Bahian IF, in the city of Catu/BA. For each experiment, we used the randomized block design with four treatments and four repetitions. The treatments were T1 (35.000 plants ha-1), T2 (45.000 plants ha-1), T3 (55.000 plants ha-1) and T4 (75.000 plants ha-1). At physiological maturity (R9) when evaluated for final plant height (AP), stem diameter (DH), diameter of chapters (DC), mass of 1000 seeds (M1000) and harvest index (IC), determined by the ratio between the total dry matter accumulated from the last collection and production achene weight and achene plot useful for determining the yield (kg ha-1), with the correction of the humidity to 13%. Positive interaction between the time factors occurred throughout the growth in AP, DH and NF. The sowing dates and plant populations' proposals may have been negatively influenced by low rainfall observed in two locations that caused a reduction in head diameter, weight of 1000 seeds and thus reduced productivity.

ABSTRACT

The measurement of the serum concentration of the acute-phase reactant C-reactive protein (CRP) provides a useful marker in clinical practice. However, the distribution of CRP is not available for all age and population groups. This study assessed the distribution of high sensitivity-CRP (hs-CRP) by gender and age in 1470 elderly individuals from a Brazilian community that participates in the Bambuí Cohort Study. Blood samples were collected after 12 h of fasting and serum samples were stored at -70°C. Measurements were made with a commercial hs-CRP immunonephelometric instrument. More than 50% of the results were above 3.0 mg/L for both genders. Mean hs-CRP was higher in women (3.62 ± 2.58 mg/L) than in men (3.03 ± 2.50 mg/L). This difference was observed for all ages, except for the over-80 age group. This is the first population-based study to describe hs-CRP values in Latin American elderly subjects. Our results indicate that significant gender differences exist in the distribution of hs-CRP, and suggest that gender-specific cut-off points for hs-CRP would be necessary for the prediction of cardiovascular risks.

ABSTRACT

Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) polymorphism influences lipid metabolism, but its association with arterial hypertension is controversial. The objective of this study was to examine the association between ApoE polymorphism and prevalent hypertension in a large unselected population of older adults. Participants from the baseline of the Bambuí Health Aging Study whose ApoE genes had been genotyped were selected for this study (N = 1406, aged 60-95 years). These subjects represented 80.7 percent of the total elderly residents in Bambuí city, MG, Brazil. Hypertension was defined as a systolic blood pressure ³140 mmHg and/or a diastolic blood pressure ³90 mmHg, or the use of anti-hypertensive medication. The exposure variable was the ApoE genotype as follows: e3 carriers, e3e3; e2 carriers, e2e2 or e2e3, and e4 carriers, e3e4 or e4e4. Potential confounding variables were age, gender, traditional cardiovascular risk factors, uric acid, and creatinine levels. The prevalence of hypertension was 61.3 percent. Compared with the e3 homozygotes, neither the e2 nor the e4 carrier status was associated with hypertension (adjusted prevalence ratios = 0.94, 95 percentCI = 0.83-1.07 and 0.98, 0.89-1.07, respectively). On the other hand, the e2 allele carriers had lower LDL cholesterol levels (P < 0.001) and the e4 carriers had higher LDL cholesterol levels (P = 0.036). This study provides epidemiologic evidence that the ApoE genotype is not associated with prevalent hypertension in old age.

ABSTRACT

Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is one of the most extensively studied genes in the context of aging, but there are few population-based studies on ApoE polymorphism in the elderly in developing countries. The objective of the present study was to assess ApoE allele and genotype distribution in a large elderly community-based sample and its association with age, sex and skin color. Participants included 1408 subjects (80.8 percent of all residents aged ³60 years) residing in Bambuí city, MG, Brazil. The DNA samples were subjected to the polymerase chain reaction amplification, followed by the restriction fragment length polymorphism technique, with digestion by HhaI. Analysis was carried out taking into consideration the six ApoE genotypes (e3/e3, e3/e4, e2/e3, e4/e4, e2/e4, and e2/e2), the three ApoE alleles, and the number of ApoE4 alleles for each individual. The e3 allele predominated (80.0 percent), followed by e4 (13.5 percent) and e2 (6.5 percent). All six possible genotypes were observed, the e3/e3 genotype being the most frequent (63.4 percent). This distribution was similar to that described in other western populations. Sex was not associated with number of ApoE4 alleles. Black skin color was significantly and independently associated with the presence of two ApoE4 alleles (age-sex adjusted OR = 7.38; 95 percentCI = 1.93-28.25), showing that the African-Brazilian elderly have a high prevalence of the e4 allele, as observed in blacks from Africa. No association between number of ApoE4 alleles and age was found, suggesting the absence of association of ApoE genotype with mortality in this population.

ABSTRACT

A preliminary study was done on the age-pigment lipofuscin content in the brains of captive Farfantepenaeus paulensis juveniles (5 months old) and wild adults (estimated age of 12-15 months). Random samples of 6 individuals were obtained from each group (juvenile and adult) for histological analysis. Serial sections (6 mum) of the brains were mounted without staining and observed in an epifluorescent microscope. The fluorescent images of the five most central sections of the olfactory lobe cell mass (OLCM) of each individual were digitized for image analysis. The lipofuscin granule mean diameter was similar in both groups (p > 0.05), however the lipofuscin area fraction (percentage of the OLCM occupied by pigment granules) was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the adult shrimp. The detection of lipofuscin granules in 5 month old F. paulensis indicates that lipofuscin deposition probably takes place even earlier in the juvenile phase. Our results suggested that the amount of granules in the F. paulensis OLCM is related to age, but further studies are necessary to evaluate the relationship between lipofuscin content and the age of captive F. paulensis

Foi realizada análise preliminar do conteúdo de lipofuscina em cérebros de juvenis de Farfantepenaeus paulensis oriundos de cativeiro (5 meses de idade) e de adultos selvagens (idade estimada de 12-15 meses). Foram coletadas amostras aleatórias de 6 indivíduos de cada grupo (juvenis e adultos) para análises histológicas. Cortes frontais (6 mim) dos cérebros foram montados em lâminas, sem serem corados, e observados em microscópio de epifluorescência. As imagens fluorescentes dos 5 cortes mais centrais da massa de células do lóbulo olfatório (MCLO) de cada indivíduo foram digitalizadas para posterior análise de imagens. O diâmetro médio dos grânulos de lipofuscina foram similares entre os dois grupos (p > 0,05), entretanto, a porcentagem da área de MCLO ocupada por grânulos foi significativamente maior (p 0,05) nos camarões adultos. A detecção de grânulos de lipofuscina em F. paulensis com 5 meses de idade indica a possibilidade de o início de deposição ocorrer anteriormente em juvenis. Os resultados sugerem que a quantidade de grânulos na MCLO de F. paulensis está relacionada à idade, contudo, futuros estudos são necessários para avaliar a relação entre a quantidade de lipofuscina e a idade de F. paulensis mantidos em cativeiro.

ABSTRACT

A vulvovaginite, expressäo de diversas patologias que acometem o trato genital inferior feminino, é conhecida desde Hipócrates e Soranus como importante manifestaçäo de distúrbios potencialmente graves para a saúde genital e sistêmica das mulheres. Vários trabalhos já enfocaram com muita ênfase, os aspectos microbiológicos destas doenças, porém pouca coisa tem sido feita em funçäo dos fatores coadjuvantes que poderiam favorecer ou dificultar a instalaçäo das mesmas. Neste artigo säo enfocados os aspéctos bioquímicos e nutricionais do conteúdo vaginal fisiológico, dando uma descriçäo dos achados mais frequentes, bem como as possíveis interaçöes com a microflora. Os mecanismos de proteçäo ou de facilitaçäo do corrimento vaginal säo apontados, estressando a importância dos aminoácidos e imunoglobinas, secretadas principalmente a nível local. O conhecimento de tais aspectos, pode servir como chave importante para o ginecologista estabelecer uma correlaçäo entre os achados clínicos e laboratoriais e conseqüentemente elucidar a açäo fisiopatogênica em determinados casos, base fundamental para o perfeito diagnóstico e tratamento
