Applicability and Effectiveness of Closed Reduction of Nasal Fractures under Local Anesthesia

Introduction: A significant portion of patients treated in emergency departments have nasal fracture. It is important that the otolaryngologist know how to treat such damage. Objectives To evaluate the effectiveness of nasal fracture reduction under local anesthesia and tolerance to the procedure. Methods: Twenty-four patients treated in the emergency department with closed reduction under local anesthesia were prospectively followed. Epidemiologic information and data regarding pain and complications during the management were noted. The degree of satisfaction was researched by visual analog scale. Results: The majority of patients were male (75%), and the most common cause of injury was motor vehicle accident. We found a significant association between time to reduction and referred pain during the procedure. In patients in whom the procedure was delayed (over 3 days), there was less pain, and those who bled during the procedure had a shorter average time to reduction than the group of patients who did not bleed. Most patients were very satisfied, with more than 95% of these willing to undergo the same process again, if necessary. Conclusions: The closed approach in the clinic under local anesthesia was effective and safe in restoration of the nose...

Desempenho de caprinos inteiros alimentados com diferentes quantidades de aguapé / Evaluate of performance of caprines whole feed with water hyacinth

Objetivo - Avaliar o desempenho ponderal de caprinos inteiros alimentados com níveis crescentes de aguapé na forma de volumoso.O aguapé (Eichhornia crassipes) é uma planta aquática de propagação agressiva e com potencial de uso bastante diversificado. Métodos - O experimento avaliou o efeito da adição de 0%, 20% e 40% de aguapé como volumoso sobre o ganho de peso de 10 caprinos inteiros da raça Saanen, com idade média de 70 dias, em quadrado latino 3X3 com três fases de 14 dias cada, alternadas por intervalos de cinco dias. O ganho de peso médio para os animais com 0% foi de 107,9 (± 45,5) g/dia; com 20% foi de 81,0 (± 44,2) g/dia; e com 40% foi de 111, 9 (± 51,6) g/dia. Resultados - Na análise dos resultados ficou apurado que os valores obtidos foram estatisticamente semelhantes para os três tratamentos. Conclusão - Não há diferença em adicionar até 40% de aguapé como volumoso na dieta de caprinos.

Objective - The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of caprines whole feed with crescents levels of the water hyacinth with voluminous. The water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is an aquatic plant of aggressive propagation and with use potential much diversified. Methods - The experiment evaluated of the addition of 0%, 20% and 40% of water hyacinth as bulky on the earnings of weight of 10 caprine whole of the breed Saanen, with medium age of 70 days, in Latin square 3X3 with three stage of 14 days each, alternate for intervals of five days. The earnings of medium weight for the animal with 0% was of 107,9 (± 45,5) g/day; with 20% it was of 81,0 (±44,2) g/day and with 40% it was of 111,9 (± 51,6) g/day. Results - In the analysis of the experiment the results were similar in all tree treatments. Conclusion - There is no difference to add until 40% of water hyacinth on the caprines diet.

Parâmetros físico-químicos e cromatográficos em aguardentes de cana queimada e não queimada / Physicochemical and chromatographic parameters in sugar cane brandies from burnt and non-burnt cane

Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar as concentrações de furfural, álcoois superiores, ésteres, aldeídos, cobre, acidez volátil, metanol e grau alcoólico de aguardentes obtidas de cana, com e sem queima prévia. Foram utilizadas amostras de aguardente artesanal de cana queimada e não queimada, fermentadas com a mesma levedura e destiladas no mesmo destilador; amostras de produtor de aguardente industrial de cana queimada e amostras obtidas de outro produtor artesanal de cana não queimada. As análises físico-químicas e cromatográficas (CG) foram realizadas no Laboratório de Análise Físico-Química de Aguardente - LAFQA/DQI na Universidade Federal de Lavras. As concentrações de furfural apresentaram diferença significativa (P<0,01), entre os grupos de aguardentes artesanais, obtidas de cana-de-açúcar com e sem queima prévia, oriundas de um mesmo processo de produção, com médias de 1,48 mg.100mL-¹ etanol e 0,63 mg.100mL-¹ etanol, respectivamente, embora tenham estado abaixo do limite máximo (5,0 mg.100mL-¹ etanol) permitido. Os demais componentes das aguardentes estudadas não foram afetados significativamente pela queima prévia da cana-de-açúcar.

This work was intended to evaluate the concentrations of furfural, higher alcohols, esters, aldehydes, copper, volatile acidity methanol and alcoholic degree of sugar cane brandies obtained from sugar cane both with and without previous burning. Samples of artisanal brandies from burnt and non-burnt cane, fermented with the same yeast and distilled in the same still, samples of burnt cane from an industrial brandy producer and samples of non-burnt cane obtained from another artisanal producer were utilized. The physicochemical and chromatographic (CG) analyses were accomplished in the Sugar Cane Brandy Physicochemical Analysis Laboratory at the Federal University of Lavras. The concentrations of furfural showed significant differences (P<0.01) among the groups of artisanal brandies obtained from sugar cane with and without previous burning, coming from the same manufacturing process with means of 1.48 mg.100mL-1 ethanol and 0.63mg.100mL-1 ethanol, respectively, although they have been bellow the maximum limit (5.0 mg.100mL-1 ethanol) allowed. The other components of the brandies studied were not affected significantly by the previous burning of sugar cane.

Determinação das composições físico-químicas de cachaças do sul de minas gerais e de suas misturas / Determination of the physical-chemical composition of homemade cachaças produced in the South of Minas Gerais and their mixtures

Este trabalho teve por objetivo a determinação da composição físico-química de cachaças artesanais produzidas no sul do Estado de Minas Gerais e suas misturas. Foram analisados os teores de etanol, acidez volátil, aldeídos, cobre, ésteres, álcoois superiores totais e metanol, além dos álcoois propanol-1, isobutanol e 3-metil-butanol-1. Os resultados apresentam o perfil peculiar desta bebida, que apresentou teores satisfatórios de álcoois superiores, ésteres e aldeídos. O teor de cobre apresenta-se como preocupante já que algumas amostras excederam o limite de 5 mg.L-1. A produção de misturas foi estudada e esta apresenta-se como uma alternativa viável ao produtor e cooperativas.

The present study sought the physical-chemical composition of homemade cachaças produced in the south of the state Minas Gerais and of mixtures of the same cachaça samples. The ethanol, aldehyde, copper, higher alcohol, volatile acid and methanol concentrations were determined, in addition to the individual propanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol concentrations. The results demonstrated the characteristic profile of this beverage, which presented satisfactory concentrations of higher alcohols, esters, and aldehydes. The copper concentrations of some samples exceeded the limit of 5 mg. L-1. The mixtures produced from some of the cachaça samples presented a viable alternative for the producers and cooperatives because the concentrations of the components were more adequate for exportation.
