The objective of this study was to identify the factors associated with the impairment of quality of life (QoL) in community-dwelling individuals with LUTS. A randomized sample of the population registered in the Family Health Program - Niterói aged 45 years or over was selected. Information about demographic, socioeconomic and lifestyle factors, co-morbidities and nocturia was collected. The NANDA-I taxonomy was used to identify the other LUTS, and QoL evaluation was performed in accordance with the SF-36 Short Form questionnaire (SF36-SF). For the SF36-SF domains (outcome) associated with LUTS, multiple logistic models were tested including the urinary symptoms and the sociodemographic and associated clinical variables. Stress urinary incontinence was associated with white skin, female gender, obesity, smoking, alcohol intake, depression and low scores in all evaluated domains of QoL. Nocturia was associated with advanced age, low schooling level, higher BMI, hypertension, diabetes, health insurance and the lowest scores in all evaluated domains of Qol, except for the Role Emotional. According to multivariate analysis, stress incontinence and depression are associated with the highest risks of low scores in General Health, Physical Functioning and Vitality domains, while nocturia and obesity showed association with the highest risks of low scores in Physical Functioning, Bodily-Pain and Vitality domains.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of dentists in the city of Maringá, State of Paraná, Brazil, relative to the management of avulsed teeth. According to the sample calculation, 96 professionals, who were not specialists in Endodontics or oral and maxillofacial surgery, were selected by random draw. The method chosen for verifying their knowledge was the application of a questionnaire composed of multiple choice questions. The data obtained were analyzed by the Exact Fisher test. Among the results obtained, we point out that the definition of tooth avulsion was correctly answered by 99%; 50% indicated milk; 49% saliva; 40% physiological solution, and 7% water as storage media; 52% would use rigid splinting as a fixation method; and for 72% the ideal time of containment procedures would be 60 days. There was association between the years of experience of the professionals with management of cases of tooth avulsion (p = 0.04555). The authors concluded that the dentists in the city of Maringá, State of Paraná, did not demonstrate good knowledge about the procedures to be adopted for management of avulsed teeth. Misunderstandings were observed relative to the appropriate method of storing the avulsed tooth and the type of splinting procedure most indicated for stabilizing the reimplanted tooth.

Periodontal disease is a multifactorial oral health problem that may be associated with several risk factors. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence rates of risk factors and socioeconomic aspects of patients with periodontal disease. One-hundred and twelve patients underwent the application of a socioeconomic questionnaire and intraoral examinations. The later was founded in the search and registration of gingival bleeding, dental calculus and periodontal pockets. In a multivariate analysis using the Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detection (CHAID), the clinical findings were tested for their association with socioeconomic information, such as patient’s level of education. Gingival bleeding, dental calculus and periodontal pockets were detected in 82.1, 88.4 and 38.4% of the sample, respectively. Patients with lower level of education presented higher rates of gingival bleeding (p = 0.018), calculus (p = 0.001) and periodontal pockets (p = 0.001). Other socioeconomic factors, such as age, knowledge of oral hygiene tools, and access to dental services also showed statistically significant associations with periodontal diseases (p < 0.05). These outcomes corroborate with most of the previous scientific literature. In practice, they may contribute to the development of oral health care strategies to reach more effectively populations in need for optimal dental services.

The aim of this research was to analyze the influence of invasive ventilation modes on weaning and extubation process. It is a prospective cohort study that assessed patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) using Invasive Mechanical Ventilation (IMV). The following aspects were considered: ventilation mode used, days until evolution to weaning and extubation, its success/failure, hospitalization period, and ICU outcome (discharge/death). Sixty patients were assessed, 48 of which were admitted on volume-controlled ventilation (VCV), three on pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV), and nine on spontaneous mode. A total of 79% of VCV individuals and 67% of PCV went into spontaneous mode. There was no significant difference between modes for time until evolution to spontaneous breathing, neither between that and weaning and extubation. Among possible factors responsible for weaning and extubation success, only days on spontaneous mode influenced these outcomes, so individuals who breathed spontaneously for more days were 1.5% more likely to succeed at weaning and 1.3% more likely to succeed at extubation. The ventilation mode used at admission did not influence weaning and extubation process. Longer time on spontaneous breathing mode predicted the patients’ greater chances of weaning and extubation success.

The objective of this study is to characterize, relate and compare bio-sociodemographic and economic aspects, hygiene perception, habits and behaviors in the oral health of students recently admitted to an international university. This is a descriptive and quantitative study conducted with 101 Brazilian and non-Brazilian academics. For that purpose, a questionnaire was applied. The data were analyzed and submitted to Fisher’s exact test and Chi-square test. Male and Brazilian students predominated, followed by Guineans. Regarding the perception about oral health, 50.5% of Brazilian academics and 63.3% of non-Brazilian students considered it regular. Of the total participants, more than half of Brazilian and non-Brazilian students brushed their teeth 3 times a day. About dental floss, 98% of Brazilians know it and 76% of non-Brazilian didn’t use it. There was a significant association between the students with age lower than or equal to 18 years and the search for dental care, as well as income above one minimum wage and demand for this type of care. There were similarities and discrepancies between the behavior of Brazilian and non-Brazilian academics. Factors such as age lower than or equal to 18 years and income above one minimum wage positively influenced the search for dental care.

Cardiovascular diseases associated with thrombosis are one of the main causes of death all around the world. Urokinase, streptokinase, and tissue plasminogen activator are the major thrombolytic agents used to treat thrombosis. However, the fact that these agents have several side effects and high prices has driven the search for safer and more economically viable compounds for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of fungi isolated from industrial effluents to produce fibrino(geno)lytic enzymes. The selection of the protease-producing strains showed that only the BF20 strain was able to produce proteolytic halos in milk agar. This strain identified as belonging to the genus Penicillium was cultivated in submerged fermentation. Different media composition were tested to evaluate proteolytic activity, and the results showed that the medium containing 0.1% yeast extract and 1% skim milk, pH 5.0, present higher azocaseinolytic activity (0.24 U mL-1 min.-1). This sample also showed the ability to degrade fibrinogen and fibrin after 15 and 120 min. of incubation, respectively. These results indicate that the BF20 strain has a thrombolytic potential, effectively degrading fibrinogen and fibrin, having great application in the health area.
与血栓形成相关的心血管疾病是全世界死亡的主要原因之一。尿激酶、链激酶和组织纤溶酶原激活剂是治疗血栓形成的主要溶栓剂。然而,这些药物有一些副作用和高价格的事实促使人们寻找更安全、更经济可行的治疗心血管疾病的化合物。因此,本研究的目的是评估从工业废水中分离的真菌生产纤维蛋白(基因)裂解酶的潜力。产蛋白酶菌株的筛选表明,只有BF20菌株能在乳琼脂中产生蛋白水解晕。该菌株被鉴定为属于青霉属,在深层发酵中培养。通过对不同培养基组成的蛋白水解活性测定,结果表明:含0.1%酵母膏和1%脱脂乳、pH 5.0的培养基具有较高的偶氮酪蛋白水解活性(0.24 U mL-1 min.-1)。该样品在孵育15分钟和120分钟后也显示出降解纤维蛋白原和纤维蛋白的能力。上述结果表明,BF20菌株具有溶栓潜能,能有效降解纤维蛋白原和纤维蛋白,在卫生领域有很大的应用前景。

The present study compared the acute effect of different combinations of resistance training (RT) and static stretching (SS) on the heart rate (HR), rate pressure product (RPP) and oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ) of participants. This is a cross-over methodological design carried out in five visits on non-consecutive days, which always occurred at the same time of day. Twelve trained young men were randomly divided, using counterbalanced and alternate assignments, into three experimental situations: a) horizontal abduction of the shoulder, knee flexion and hip abduction before the bench press and leg extension machine, respectively (SS + RT); b) bench press and leg extension machine before horizontal abduction of shoulder, knee flexion and hip abduction, respectively (RT + SS); c) bench press and leg extension machine, exclusively (RT). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures showed significant differences in the SS+RT group when the variables were compared at rest (pre) and immediately after the exercises (post): HRpre vs. HRpost (p = 0.000) and RPPpre vs. RPPpost (p = 0.000). In the intergroup comparisons, significant differences were detected between the SS+RT and RT+SS experimental situations exclusively during the post period for the RPP (p = 0.041) and SpO 2 variables (p = 0.002). The combined use of SS and RT significantly changed the intragroup cardiovascular responses by increasing the HR and RPP and decreasing the SpO 2 . However, the values were lower in the intergroup comparisons when the stretching exercises were performed both before and after RT, although no significant differences were found from a cardiovascular safety point of view.

The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of strength training (ST) with continuous or intermittent blood flow restriction (BFR) on the muscle hypertrophy (MH), dynamic muscle strength (DMS), isometric muscle strength (IMS) and localized muscular endurance (LME) of healthy men. Twenty-five men with experience in ST were randomly divided into 3 experimental groups: a) 4 low-load exercises at 20% of the one-repetition maximum (1RM) combined with continuous BFR (LL+CBFR), b) 4 low-load exercises at 20% of 1RM combined with intermittent BFR (LL+IBFR); and c) 4 low-load exercises at 20% of 1RM without BFR (LL). Twelve sessions of ST were performed (twice a week for 6 weeks). There were no differences between groups for all variables (p > 0.05). However, there were significant differences in time for the LME in the triceps pulley only in the LL+CBFR group (p < 0.001) and in the biceps pulley in the groups LL+CBFR, LL+IBFR and LL (p < 0.001, p = 0.002, p = 0.032), respectively, with large magnitudes only for the two forms of the BFR. It can be concluded that continuous or intermittent BFR seems to be a good alternative for the increase of the LME of the upper limbs in single-joint exercises.
本研究的目的是比较连续或间歇血流量限制(BFR)的力量训练(ST)对健康男性肌肉肥厚(MH)、动态肌肉力量(DMS)、等长肌肉力量(IMS)和局部肌肉耐力(LME)的影响。25名有ST训练经验的男性被随机分为3个实验组:a) 4项低负荷运动(1RM的20%)结合连续BFR (LL+CBFR), b) 4项低负荷运动(1RM的20%)结合间歇性BFR (LL+IBFR);c) 4次低负荷运动,强度为1RM的20%,无BFR (LL)。进行了12次ST(每周2次,共6周)。各组间各变量差异无统计学意义(p > 0.05)。然而,三头肌滑轮LME仅在LL+CBFR组(p < 0.001)以及二头肌滑轮在LL+CBFR、LL+IBFR和LL组(p < 0.001, p = 0.002, p = 0.032)的时间上存在显著差异,且仅两种形式的BFR存在较大差异。由此可见,对于单关节运动中上肢LME的增加,连续或间歇的BFR似乎是一个很好的选择。

Twenty-five men with experience in ST were randomly divided into 3 experimental groups: a) 4 low-load exercises at 20% of the one-repetition maximum (1RM) combined with continuous BFR (LL+CBFR), b) 4 low-load exercises at 20% of 1RM combined with intermittent BFR (LL+IBFR); and c) 4 low-load exercises at 20% of 1RM without BFR (LL). Twelve sessions of ST were performed (twice a week for 6 weeks). There were no differences between groups for all variables (p > 0.05). However, there were significant differences in time for the LME in the triceps pulley only in the LL+CBFR group (p < 0.001) and in the biceps pulley in the groups LL+CBFR, LL+IBFR and LL (p < 0.001, p = 0.002, p = 0.032), respectively, with large magnitudes only for the two forms of the BFR. It can be concluded that continuous or intermittent BFR seems to be a good alternative for the increase of the LME of the upper limbs in single-joint exercises.","PeriodicalId":42839,"journal":{"name":"ACTA SCIENTIARUM-HEALTH SCIENCES","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2019-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83390347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: This study evaluated the prevalence, clinical management and sequelae in deciduous teeth involved and permanent successors in 150 children (256 deciduous teeth. Of these, 63.3% were male, 24-35 months of age at the time of the trauma (37.9%) and the falls (78.1%) represented the major etiological factor. In relation to the type of injury, 24.6% was enamel fracture; 62.5% showed support tissue injury (lateral luxation, 22.3%). In the first and second assessments (T1 and T2), the average follow-up time was 14.5 and 26 months (256 and 131 teeth).We diagnosed clinical and radiographic sequels including discoloration of the crown (T1-15.6; T2-13.7%), inflammatory root resorption (T1-7.0; T2-8.4%); and in permanent successors, enamel hypoplasia (T1-1.2; T2-2.3%), eruption disturbances (T1-2.0; T2-1.5%).The chi-square test evidenced association, in T1, between injuries to the supporting tissues and clinical (p = 0.003) and radiographic (p = 0.004) sequelae in permanent successors; and between clinical sequelae and age at the time of trauma (p = 0.005). In T2, radiological sequelae in deciduous teeth with injuries to the tooth and supporting tissue (p = 0.035); as well as clinical sequelae with elapsed time of trauma in permanent teeth (p = 0.005). It is concluded that the follow-up of traumatized deciduous teeth is essential to prevent sequelae.

WHOQOL-Bref is widely used to assess quality of life. The present study estimated the prevalence of elderly people with low quality of life and the association of socio-cultural, economic and health variables. The elderly were classified as low ( 60 points). The elderly (1431) were investigated, most of the elderly were married, with low schooling, with own income and lived with their spouse or other relatives. A large part (20.8%) reported having performed some habitual physical activity, (24.7%) smoked and (7.1%) ingested high amounts of alcohol. The mean WHOQOL-Bref score was 87.9 ± 11.6 points, with 6.1% having poor quality of life and 93.9% regular/good. There was a high number of elderly people with hypertension, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and stroke in the low quality of life group. Also, it showed a high frequency in the elderly who reported very poor/poor vision, hearing and the prevalence of hospitalizations. The results suggested that the quality of life standards assessed by the WHOQOL-Bref are similar to the Southern Brazilian regions and the cut-off point used here was reliable for detecting poor quality of life associated with chronic morbidities.
