ABSTRACT

Os implantes dentários osseointegrados representam uma parte da reabilitação oral, sendo uma alternativa cada vez mais utilizada na Odontologia a fim de substituir dentes perdidos. À semelhança das doenças periodontais, o fator etiológico das doenças periimplantares é o acúmulo de biofilme ao redor dos implantes dentários. Esta patologia também é classificada de acordo com os tecidos acometidos por ela, em mucosite e periimplantite. Para um correto tratamento e sucesso na terapia periimplantar, o diagnóstico deve ser baseado na sua etiologia e, seu tratamento segue variando de acordo com cada caso e estágio da doença. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo relatar o tratamento de um caso de periimplantite por meio da descontaminação da superfície do implante através de uma cirurgia de acesso. Paciente leucoderma, com 56 anos, sexo feminino, procurou atendimento no curso de graduação em Odontologia do centro Universitário da Serra Gaúcha ­ FSG, com queixa de sangramento/supuração, dor e edema na região dos dentes 15 e 16, reabilitados com implantes, e exposição de componentes protéticos. A paciente foi diagnosticada com periimplantite. O plano de tratamento proposto foi de promover a descontaminação da superfície do implante por meio de acesso cirúrgico. Com base no caso clínico apresentado, foi possível concluir que a técnica de tratamento utilizada foi eficaz para a resolução da periimplantite, no período de acompanhamento do estudo (90 dias), demonstrando melhora nos parâmetros clínicos e radiográficos(AU)


Osseointegrated dental implants represent a part of oral rehabilitation, being an increasingly used alternative in Dentistry in order to replace lost teeth. Similar to periodontal diseases, the etiological factor of peri-implant diseases is the accumulation of biofilm around dental implants. This pathology is also classified according to the tissues affected by it, in mucositis and peri-implantitis. For a correct treatment and success in peri-implant therapy, the diagnosis must be based on its etiology, and its treatment continues to vary according to each case and stage of the disease. The present work aims to report the treatment of a case of peri-implantitis through the decontamination of the implant surface through an access surgery. Caucasian female patient, 56 years old, sought care at the graduation course in Dentistry at Centro Universitário da Serra Gaúcha ­ FSG, complaining of bleeding/suppuration, pain and edema in the region of teeth 15 and 16, rehabilitated with implants, and exposure of prosthetic components. The patient was diagnosed with peri-implantitis. The proposed treatment plan was to promote decontamination of the implant surface through surgical access. Based on the presented clinical case, it was possible to conclude that the treatment technique used was effective for the resolution of periimplantitis, in the follow-up period of the study (90 days), demonstrating improvement in clinical and radiographic parameters(AU)

ABSTRACT

This study evaluated peripheral intravenous catheter insertion by licensed practical nurses in a simulated scenario. This cross-sectional and descriptive study was performed in a general hospital's simulation center located in Brazil, from January to October 2020. The authors developed a tool from the leading guidelines to measure peripheral intravenous catheter insertion performance in 60 licensed practical nurses. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, with proportions for categorical variables and analytical statistics to denote significance, using SPSS version 22.0. Ethical aspects were respected. Despite the sample comprising professionals who declared an average experience with peripheral intravenous catheter insertion of 6.4 years, at least 50% failed in some tool element. This low score on peripheral intravenous catheter insertion performance is because automation is possible without efforts to improve it. Adding years of practice does not generate better performance. The licensed practical nurses' performance was lower than expected, considering their reported experience, which poses a risk to patient safety. The training of these professionals needs to be discussed in countries where the practice is legal. Skills training should include simulation to approximate clinical practice; nurses must exercise their role in supervising the team.

ABSTRACT

AIM: to compare the effect of rapid cycle deliberate practice simulation training with skill-training simulation on peripheral intravenous catheter insertion for Licensed Practical Nurses. BACKGROUND: The use of peripheral intravenous catheters is associated with high rates of complications, although it is widely used in clinical practice. Training strategies to ensure good performance can minimize the risks inherent to this procedure. DESIGN: A randomized simulation experimental pre-post interventional study. METHODS: Sixty participants were allocated to intervention (n = 30) or control (n = 30) groups. Participants allocated to the intervention group were trained through the Rapid cycle deliberate practice simulation strategy, while participants in the control group were trained through the skill-training simulation strategy. A pre-test was applied before any intervention and a post-test after intervention. The primary outcome was the performance in the peripheral intravenous catheter insertion skill. The comparison of correct performance in the tests was analyzed intergroup and intragroup. The effect size of the interventions was also analyzed. The t-Student and Mann-Whitney tests compared the difference between the groups. The training effect was calculated by Cohen's dm and Glass's Δ measures. RESULTS: Performance between the pre-post-test increased from 59.4% to 96% (p < 0.001) in the intervention group and from 57.8% to 93.5% in the control group (p < 0001). There was no statistical difference between the groups after intervention (p = 0225). Cohen's dm measurement was 2.95 and 3.59 in the control and intervention groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The rapid cycle deliberate practice simulation strategy resulted in Licensed Practical Nurses' performance improvements in peripheral intravenous catheter insertion, evidenced by the increase of correct performance actions in the post-test compared to the pre-test. However, with no statistical difference compared to the skill-training simulation strategy.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Support surfaces variables, such as size, material, and density, can determine chest compression depth in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. OBJECTIVE: to analyze the force required to do a high-quality chest compression concerning different surfaces in CPR. METHOD: This experimental study was developed using a Little Anne manikin and a mechanical device to perform chest compressions. Nine sets of surfaces were tested and compared to a control. RESULTS: 230 experimental tests were done in sets of bed or stretcher + mattress and presence or absence of different backboards. In the control condition, the average force to reach 5 cm of depth was 42.14±0.97 (kgf). Set 9, compatible with a narrow stretcher with a thin mattress, had the best surfaces to reach recommended depth, with or without a backboard. All other sets required significantly more force for high-quality chest compression. Regression analysis confirms that backboard size is not significant for the force for high-quality chest compression. CONCLUSION: There is an association of dimensions and types of beds or stretchers and mattresses with a force increase. Type and dimensions of the backboard are not relevant for the force required, regardless of the characteristics of the set of the bed or stretcher and mattress.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A simulação é uma estratégia de aprendizado que tem sido cada vez mais aplicada na educação de enfermagem. O uso desta ferramenta gera a necessidade da utilização de instrumentos confiáveis e válidos para orientar as atividades desenvolvidas. Objetivo: Avaliar a satisfação e a autoconfiança no aprendizado dos estudantes de enfermagem submetidos a práticas de habilidades e cenários simulados. Metodologia: Pesquisa observacional com abordagem quantitativa em um Laboratório de Habilidades e Simulação de uma Universidade localizada no município do Rio de Janeiro. Realizada com graduandos de enfermagem (matriculados no 3º período e 6º período) a partir da aplicação da Escala de Satisfação e Autoconfiança com a Aprendizagem (ESAA), composta por 13 itens do tipo likert de 5 pontos, dividida em duas dimensões: Satisfação (05 itens) e Autoconfiança na aprendizagem (08 itens). Resultados: Foram incluídos 49 discentes. O participante da pesquisa é tipicamente do sexo feminino (89,8%), pardos e negros (57,1%), tem de 21 a 23 anos (55,1%) e sem experiência anterior com a simulação (93,9%). A partir da análise item a item percebeu-se a eficácia do método de ensino utilizado (98%) com impacto positivo para a forma como o professor ensinou (97,9%) alinhada com a forma que o aluno aprende (95,9), reforçando que a atuação do docente tem extrema relevância na satisfação. Conclusão: Este estudo atingiu os objetivos traçados e demonstrou que a simulação pode ser uma opção factível no aprendizado de estudantes de enfermagem para a prática clínica. Níveis elevados em ambas as dimensões foram encontradas, sendo os de satisfação mais significativos do que os de autoconfiança. A avaliação dessas dimensões pode não refletir diretamente resultados de aprendizagem, mas são essenciais para o aprimoramento da simulação como técnica de ensino pelas instituições e docentes.


Introduction: Simulation is a learning strategy that has been increasingly applied in nursing education. The use of this tool generates the need to use reliable and valid instruments to guide the activities developed. Objective: evaluate the satisfaction and self-confidence of nursing students during learning when they are submitted to praticed skills and simulated scenarios. Methodology: observational research with quantitative approach conducted on Skills and Simulation Laboratory of a University located in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Performed with nursing students (enrolled in the 3rd and 6th period) using the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning (SSSCL). The scale is similar a 5 points Likert Scale. It has 13 items and it is categorized in two dimensions: Satisfaction (05 items) and Self-confidence in learning (08 items). Results: 49 students were included. The research participant is typically female (89.8%), brown and black (57.1%), 21-23 years old (55.1%) and with no experience in simulation (93.9%). The analysis of each of the 13 points showed the effectiveness of the teaching method used (98%), with a positive impact on the way the teacher taught (97.9%) and was aligned with the way the student learns (95, 9), reinforcing that teacher performance is extremely relevant to satisfaction. Conclusion: this study achieved the goals and demonstrated that simulation can be a feasible option in nursing students learning for clinical practice. High levels in both dimensions were reach, being those of satisfaction more significant than those of self-confidence. The evaluation of these dimensions may not directly reflect learning results, but they are essential for the improvement of simulation as a teaching technique by institutions and teachers.

ABSTRACT

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficiency of visual ELISA-PAG for early pregnancy diagnosis based on the presence of PAG (pregnancy-associated glycoprotein) using sheep blood serum. Experiment 1: 140 ewes were divided into three groups with different stages of pregnancy. In the first group, 41 pregnant ewes were sampled at 26, 28, 30, and 32 days of pregnancy; in the second group, 65 ewes (49 pregnant with 30 days and 16 non-pregnant) were sampled; in the third group, 34 non-pregnant ewes were sampled. Experiment 2: 10 pregnant ewes were sampled weekly from day 35 of gestation until day 70 post-partum to verify the total period in which PAG can be detected in the blood serum by the test. Transrectal ultrasound was used as a gold standard. The detection or non-detection of PAG was analyzed by the logistic model PROC GENMOD of SAS; differences were detected by the chi-squared test. In group 1, there were no differences between the results from 28, 30, and 32 days of gestation, but samples from 30 days were easier to interpret in comparison to 28 days, with a sensitivity of 97.56%. In the second group, using 65 sheep, visual ELISA-PAG showed 100% sensitivity and 93.75% specificity, which indicates the diagnosis of an animal as a false positive. In the third group, 97.06% of the sheep were confirmed as negative and 2.94% as positive, again indicating the presence of a false positive. In 100% of the sheep, the PAG remained in the blood circulation throughout the antepartum period until birth and seven days post-partum, declining thereafter. Based on our results, the visual ELISA-PAG is an effective method for the early diagnosis of pregnancy in sheep and can be performed from day 30 of gestation.

ABSTRACT

The role of Escherichia coli in healthy microbiota of psittacine is controversial, and the presence of Salmonella sp. indicates possible disease. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the presence of E. coli and Salmonella spp. in a psittacine pet that died in Fortaleza, Brazil, correlating pathogenicity aspects of the isolates through the evaluation of lesions and antimicrobial susceptibility. Psittacine pets sent to the Laboratory of Ornithological Studies, State University of Ceará, that died in 2014 and 2015 were necropsied. Fragments of liver, kidneys, intestine, lung, heart, spleen and brain were collected for microbiological and histopathological analyses. Scores were attributed to lesions and isolated strains submitted to antimicrobial susceptibility test. From the seventy necropsied birds, nineteen were positive for E. coli and one for Salmonella Typhimurium. Congestive lesions and lymphoplasmocitic inflammatory infiltrate were observed varying from light to moderate and were the main findings. In the analyzed strains, multidrug resistance against different groups of antibiotics was observed. In conclusion, according to the results, E. coli strains and the Salmonella Typhimurium isolate produced significant lesions in the psittacine pets, and multidrug resistance may hinder treatments with antibiotics used in avian pet medicine.(AU)


A participação de Escherichia coli na microbiota saudável de Psicittaciformes e a de Salmonella spp. já indica possível doença. O objetivo deste estudo foi pesquisar a presença de E. coli e Salmonella spp. em psittaciformes de companhia na cidade de Fortaleza/Ceará, traçando os aspectos de patogenicidade destas cepas através das lesões e da sensibilidade antimicrobiana. Foram necropsiados os psittaciformes de companhia encaminhados ao Laboratório de Estudos Ornitológicos da Universidade Estadual do Ceará durante o período de 2014 a 2015. No momento da necropsia foram coletados fragmentos de fígado, rins, intestino, pulmão, coração, baço e encéfalo para posterior processamento microbiológico e histopatológico. As lesões foram graduadas e as cepas isoladas submetidas a antibiograma. Das setenta aves necropsiadas, dezenove foram positivas para E. coli e apenas uma para Salmonella Typhimurium. As lesões de congestão e infiltrado inflamatório linfoplasmocitário variaram de leve a moderado, e foram as principais lesões encontradas. Nas cepas analisadas foi constatada multiresistência a diferentes grupos de antibióticos testados. De acordo com os achados, pode-se concluir que os isolados de E. coli e Salmonella Typhimurium produziram lesões significativas em psittaciformes em Fortaleza, Brasil, e a multirresistência pode dificultar o tratamento com antibióticos usados na clínica de aves de companhia.(AU)

ABSTRACT

O tráfico de animais selvagens consiste numa atividade ilegal exercida em diversas partes do mundo, e o Brasil, em função de sua grande extensão territorial e vasta biodiversidade, é um país bastante atingido por essa prática. O grupo de animais em perigo que mais se destaca é o das aves e, entre elas, as da ordem Psittaciformes. Essas são as mais traficadas por serem consideradas inteligentes e possuidoras de grandes habilidades de comunicação. Por isso, são retiradas indiscriminadamente da natureza. No entanto, as condições em que essas aves são capturadas e mantidas em cativeiro favorecem o aparecimento de diversas enfermidades, entre elas as causadas pelas enterobactérias. As bactérias que mais causam mortes e problemas em psitacídeos são as do gênero Salmonella e Escherichia coli , responsáveis pela salmonelose e pela colibacilose, respectivamente. Este trabalho apresenta uma revisão da literatura sobre essas enterobactérias em Psittaciformes, ressaltando o potencial zoonótico desses agentes.(AU)


The illegal wildlife trade is widespread among several countries, and Brazil is one of the most frequently involved due to its great territorial extension and large diversity of animal species. Birds are the main target, and among them the Psittaciformes order, which are removed indiscriminately from nature, is one of the most frequently traded due to their intelligence and great communicating skills. However, the conditions in which these birds are captured and maintained in captivity favor several diseases, among them the ones caused by some Enterobacteriaceae. In this family, the most frequently associated bacteria to illnesses and deaths in psittacine are Salmonella and Escherichia coli , which cause salmonellosis and colibacillosis, respectively. Therefore, this study presents a review of the literature concerning these enterobacteria in Psittaciformes, emphasizing the zoonotic potential of these bacteria.(AU)

ABSTRACT

The Enterobacteriaceae family contains potentially zoonotic bacteria, and their presence in canaries is often reported, though the current status of these in bird flocks is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the most common genera of enterobacteria from canaries (Serinus canaria) and their antimicrobial resistance profiles. From February to June of 2013, a total of 387 cloacal swab samples from eight domiciliary breeding locations of Fortaleza city, Brazil, were collected and 58 necropsies were performed in canaries, which belonged to the Laboratory of Ornithological Studies. The samples were submitted to microbiological procedure using buffered peptone water and MacConkey agar. Colonies were selected according to their morphological characteristics on selective agar and submitted for biochemical identification and antimicrobial susceptibility. A total of 61 isolates were obtained, of which 42 were from cloacal swabs and 19 from necropsies. The most isolated bacteria was Escherichia coli with twenty five strains, followed by fourteen Klebsiellaspp., twelve Enterobacterspp., seven Pantoea agglomerans, two Serratiaspp. and one Proteus mirabilis. The antimicrobial to which the strains presented most resistance was sulfonamides with 55.7%, followed by ampicillin with 54.1% and tetracycline with 39.3%. The total of multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR) was 34 (55.7%). In conclusion, canaries harbor members of the Enterobacteriaceae family and common strains present a high antimicrobial resistance rate, with a high frequency of MDR bacteria.


A família Enterobacteriaceae possui bactérias com potencial zoonótico e a presença destas bactérias em canários é relatada na literatura, porém a realidade dos plantéis de criadores de canários é desconhecida. Portanto, este trabalho teve como objetivo isolar enterobactérias de canários belga (Serinus canarius) com o intuito de conhecer os gêneros mais comuns nestas aves e suas respectivas resistências a antimicrobianos. De fevereiro a junho de 2013 foram coletadas 387 amostras de swabs cloacais de canários de oito propriedades da cidade de Fortaleza, Brasil e de 58 necropsias de aves do acervo próprio do Laboratório de Estudos Ornitológicos. As amostras foram submetidas a isolamento microbiológico utilizando-se água peptonada e ágar MacConkey. As colônias foram selecionadas de acordo com suas características morfológicas nas placas, submetidas à tipificação bioquímica para identificação e ao teste de sensibilidade a antimicrobianos. Foram isoladas 61 cepas, sendo 42 de suabes cloacais e 19 de necropsias. A bactéria mais isolada foi Escherichia coli com vinte e cinco cepas, seguida por catorze Klebsiella spp., doze Enterobacter spp., sete Pantoea agglomerans, duas Serratiaspp. e uma cepa de Proteus mirabilis. As cepas apresentaram maior resistência a sulfonamidas com 55,7%, seguidas por ampicilina com 54,1% e tetraciclina com 39,3%. Além disso, o total de cepas resistentes a múltiplas drogas (RMD) foi 34 (55,7%). Portanto, conclui-se que os canários albergam enterobactérias e que as cepas apresentam alto índice de resistência a antimicrobianos, com alta frequência de cepas RMD.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Alloimmunisation is a major complication in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) receiving red blood cell (RBC) transfusions and despite provision of Rh phenotyped RBC units, Rh antibodies still occur. These antibodies in patients positive for the corresponding Rh antigen are considered autoantibodies in many cases but variant RH alleles found in SCD patients can also contribute to Rh alloimmunisation. In this study, we characterised variant RH alleles in 31 SCD patients who made antibodies to Rh antigens despite antigen-positive status and evaluated the clinical significance of the antibodies produced. MATERIALS AND METHODS: RHD and RHCE BeadChip™ from BioArray Solutions and/or amplification and sequencing of exons were used to identify the RH variants. The serological features of all Rh antibodies in antigen-positive patients were analysed and the clinical significance of the antibodies was evaluated by retrospective analysis of the haemoglobin (Hb) levels before and after transfusion; the change from baseline pre-transfusion Hb and the percentage of HbS were also determined. RESULTS: We identified variant RH alleles in 31/48 (65%) of SCD patients with Rh antibodies. Molecular analyses revealed the presence of partial RHD alleles and variant RHCE alleles associated with altered C and e antigens. Five patients were compound heterozygotes for RHD and RHCE variants. Retrospective analysis showed that 42% of antibodies produced by the patients with RH variants were involved in delayed haemolytic transfusion reactions or decreased survival of transfused RBC. DISCUSSION: In this study, we found that Rh antibodies in SCD patients with RH variants can be clinically significant and, therefore, matching patients based on RH variants should be considered.

ABSTRACT

Studies have shown that children and adolescents with low back pain are also similarly affected when they reach adulthood, thus highlighting the importance of investigating causes of low back pain in school-age children. The study examined low back pain and associated factors in 770 schoolchildren 7 to 17 years of age in a private school in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. Low back pain was defined as pain or discomfort in the lumbar region in the previous month, assessed by a questionnaire. Low back pain was found in 31.6% of the subjects and was more prevalent in girls (41.9%) than boys (21.4%). Factors associated with lumbar pain were female gender, age 9 to 17 years, hyperactivity (borderline and abnormal categories), and emotional symptoms (abnormal category). Mapping the occurrence of low back pain and associated factors is important for identifying children and adolescents at risk and for developing effective programs for primary prevention.

ABSTRACT

Estudos têm demonstrado que indivíduos que apresentam dor lombar na infância e adolescência são acometidos também na vida adulta, reforçando a importância de que as causas sejam investigadas desde a idade escolar. Avaliou-se a ocorrência de dor lombar e fatores associados em 770 escolares de 7 a 17 anos de idade de uma escola privada de Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. A dor lombar foi definida como dor ou desconforto na região lombar no último mês e avaliada por meio de questionário. A ocorrência de dor lombar foi de 31,6%, sendo mais prevalente no sexo feminino (41,9%) do que no masculino (21,4%). Os fatores associados à dor lombar foram sexo feminino, idade de 9 a 17 anos e os aspectos psicossociais hiperatividade (categorias limítrofe e anormal) e sintomas emocionais (categoria anormal). O mapeamento da ocorrência de dor lombar, bem como a investigação de seus fatores associados é de fundamental importância para a identificação de crianças e adolescentes em risco e para o desenvolvimento de programas eficazes de prevenção primária.


Studies have shown that children and adolescents with low back pain are also similarly affected when they reach adulthood, thus highlighting the importance of investigating causes of low back pain in school-age children. The study examined low back pain and associated factors in 770 schoolchildren 7 to 17 years of age in a private school in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. Low back pain was defined as pain or discomfort in the lumbar region in the previous month, assessed by a questionnaire. Low back pain was found in 31.6% of the subjects and was more prevalent in girls (41.9%) than boys (21.4%). Factors associated with lumbar pain were female gender, age 9 to 17 years, hyperactivity (borderline and abnormal categories), and emotional symptoms (abnormal category). Mapping the occurrence of low back pain and associated factors is important for identifying children and adolescents at risk and for developing effective programs for primary prevention.


Los estudios han demostrado que las personas con dolor de espalda en la infancia y la adolescencia también se ven afectadas en la edad adulta, lo que subraya la importancia de que las causas se investiguen desde la edad escolar. Se evaluó la incidencia de dolor de espalda y factores asociados, en 770 escolares de 7 a 17 años en una escuela privada en Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. La lumbalgia se define como un dolor o molestia en la espalda en el último mes y fue evaluada mediante un cuestionario. La aparición de dolor lumbar se produjo en un 31,6%, siendo más frecuente en el sexo femenino (41,9%) que en hombres (21,4%). Los factores asociados con el dolor de espalda eran: mujeres, edad de 9 a17 años, y aspectos psicosociales como hiperactividad (categorías borderline y anormal) y síntomas emocionales (categoría anormal). El mapeo de la aparición de dolor en la zona baja de la espalda, así como investigar factores asociados, es fundamental para identificar a los niños, niñas y adolescentes en situación de riesgo, con el fin de desarrollar programas eficaces para la prevención primaria.

ABSTRACT

Este trabalho trata-se de um relato de experiência vivenciada no período de formação no Curso de Especialização em Terapia de Família no DOMUS – Centro de Terapia de Casal e Família. Em cursos como esse, a troca de terapeutas tem sido utilizada com frequência, de acordo com as necessidades da instituição e dos próprios terapeutas. Este trabalho objetivou associar a troca de terapeutas com as repercussões que surgiram no processo. Para tanto, partiu-se de duas situações de troca de terapeuta de uma mesma família, sendo uma primeira troca com planejamento e adaptação ao novo profissional e a segunda sem tal manejo. Percebeu-se que a interrupção dos vínculos entre as terapeutas anteriores e a família acionou sentimentos fortes em todos. A despeito, concluiu-se que há a possibilidade de absorção da mudança pela família em decorrência das características pessoais do terapeuta, entre as quais de estabelecer um vínculo afetivo de qualidade.(AU)


This study is a report of an experience of a training period of the Specialist Course in Family Therapy in DOMUS – Center Therapy of Couple and Family. In courses like that, the change of therapeutics is a usual and necessary practice. The aim of this study was to associate the change of therapeutics with the repercussion around the process. Two procedures with the same family were done: first, planning and adaption to a new therapeutics, and second, without such management. The results of this study show that the interruption of bonds between the previous therapists and the family triggered strong feelings in all. It is concluded that there is a possibility of absorption of the change by the family due to the therapist's personal characteristics, including establishing a bonding quality.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Os objetivos do presente estudo foram a) identificar a relação entre o teste de SA com banco (SACB) e o teste de SA sem banco (SASB) em crianças e adolescentes, e; b) propor uma equação de regressão de predição do teste de SACB a partir do teste de SASB. A amostra foi composta por 698 crianças e adolescentes, sendo 357 rapazes e 341 moças, na faixa etária entre 7 e 17 anos, oriundos do banco de dados do PROESP-BR. Para o tratamento dos dados utilizamos a correlação linear de Pearson e regressão linear múltipla. Os resultados sugerem uma relação linear positiva e alta (r=0,885) entre os resultados dos dois testes de SA. Quando as variáveis sexo e grupo etários (GE1 - 7 a 10 anos; do GE2 - 11 a 13 anos; e do GE3 - 14 a 17 anos) são consideradas, os resultados indicam que os valores de correlação ficam menores no sexo masculino e no GE1 nos dois sexos, e maiores no sexo feminino e nos GE2 e GE3 nos dois sexos. Diante disto, optamos por acrescentar ao modelo de estimativa do teste de SACB a partir do teste de SASB as variáveis sexo e GE. O resultado da análise de regressão disponibilizou uma equação com capacidade de determinação de 78,8%. Portanto, baseado no grau de relação linear entre as variáveis podemos através de uma predizer a outra, ou seja, tanto o protocolo com banco quanto o sem banco podem nos informar resultados análogos no que se refere à flexibilidade. Deste modo, o teste SASB poderá ser utilizado como um instrumento alternativo, sendo de fácil aplicação e principalmente de baixo custo, facilitando, assim, a busca de informações da flexibilidade de crianças e adolescentes.


The goals of this study was a) to verify the possible relations between the sit and reach test with chair (SR) and without chair (VSR) in children and adolescents, and b) to porpoise a regression equation to predict the SR from VSR. The sample was composed for 698 children and adolescents (357 boys and 341 girls) between 7 to 17 years old from the PROESP-BR dates? bank. The dates analyze was made with the Pearson correlation and with multiple linear regression. The results suggest a positive and high (r=0,885) correlation between SR and VSR. When the sex and age group (AG1 - 7 to 10 years old; do AG2 - 11 to 13 years old; and AG3 - 14 to 17 years old) variables are consider, correlation coefficients get lower at male sex and at AG1 for both sex, and get high AG2 and AG3 for both sex. Before this, we chose to add the sex and AG variable in SR test model estimate from VSR. The regression analyze results released a equation with 78,8% determination capacity. Therefore, considering the relation degree between flexibility tests, we can predict one using the results of the other. Thus, the VSR can be used as an alternative instrument for the children and adolescents flexibility measured.

ABSTRACT

Estudo transversal, descritivo e quantitativo, com o objetivo de investigar a ocorrência de acidentes ocupacionais em adolescentestrabalhadores. Realizado de abril a agosto de 2008, com uma amostra aleatória de 308 adolescentes entre 14 e 18 anos deidade. Os resultados evidenciaram que 168 (54,5%) eram trabalhadores, 42%, desses, alegaram ter sofrido acidentes típicos,(18,5%) acidentes de trajeto, 14,9% afastaram-se do trabalho, 51,4% não tinham carteira assinada e a maioria era do sexomasculino. Os cortes e perfurações foram os acidentes mais ocorridos (27,5%), a queimadura constituiu o principal agravo(26,9%) e as partes do corpo mais afetadas foram mãos e dedos (40,4%). Conclui-se que os acidentes ocupacionais configuramsecomo uma expressão da violência contra os jovens trabalhadores e um grave problema de Saúde Pública. Deve ser incorporadocom prioridade na agenda dos serviços públicos e o enfermeiro, junto à equipe de saúde, podem ser os principais articuladoresdesse processo.

ABSTRACT

An attempt was made to evaluate microbiological quality of horticultural crops grown organically. Three species of vegetables were used, lettuce (Lactuva sativa), radish (Raphanus sativus) and spinach (Tetragonia expansa), grown organically, in fertile soil. Six different treatments were applied: mineral fertilizer, chicken, cow, and pig manure, chicken litter and cow manure, in association with a liquid foliar biofertilizer. These crops were handled according to correct agronomic practices for growing crops organically for commercial purposes. Samples were examined for the Most Probable Number (MPN/g/mL) of total and fecal coliforms and to detect the presence of Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. All analyzed samples were considered acceptable for consumption, as Salmonella spp. was not detected. However, 63.3 percent, 50.0 percent, and 23.3 percent of the samples of lettuce, radish and spinach, respectively, contained >10² total coliforms/g of product. None of the samples of spinach or radish presented >10² fecal coliforms/g, and only 6.6 percent of lettuce samples contained >10² fecal coliforms/g. The presence of E. coli was confirmed in one sample of spinach, cultivated with cow manure.


O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar a qualidade microbiológica de hortaliças orgânicas produzidas sob diferentes condições. Três espécies de vegetais, alface (Lactuva sativa), rabanete (Raphanus sativus) e espinafre (Tetragonia expansa), foram cultivadas no sistema orgânico, em solo fertilizado com seis tratamentos diferentes: adubo mineral, estercos de galinha, bovino e suíno, cama de frango e esterco bovino associado com biofertilizante líquido de aplicação foliar. O cultivo das hortaliças foi feito de acordo com as práticas agronômicas recomendadas para o sistema orgânico em escala comercial. Das hortaliças cultivadas, foram coletadas amostras para a determinação do Número Mais Provável de coliformes totais e termotolerantes e detecção da presença de Escherichia coli e Salmonella spp. Todas as amostras analisadas foram consideradas apropriadas para o consumo humano, de acordo com a legislação brasileira em vigor, uma vez que, em nenhuma delas foi detectada a presença de Salmonella spp. Entretanto, 63,3 por cento, 50,0 por cento e 23,3 por cento, respectivamente, das amostras de alface, rabanete e espinafre apresentaram contagens de coliformes totais >100/g. Em nenhuma das amostras de rabanete e espinafre o nível de coliformes termotolerantes foi >100/g e em somente 6,6 por cento das amostras de alface foi maior que 100/g. E. coli foi detectada em uma amostra de espinafre produzido em solo fertilizado com esterco bovino.
