This study evaluated the mineral content in the infusions and aerial parts (leaves, flowers and stems) of Gervao ( Verbena minutiflora ) for four consecutive years using the atomic spectrometry. The different parts of air V. minutiflora showed significant variability between certain mineral levels. The leaves and flowers showed the highest concentrations of all minerals, except for K, regardless of year of collection: stem (Fe = 50; Ca = 20, Zn = 770; Mg = 7.5; Cu = 4450; Al = 110; Na = 350, K = 13520 mg kg -1 ), flowers (Fe = 150, Ca = 33, Zn = 1.110, mg = 15, Cu = 7510, Al = 480; Na = 260, K = 10620 mg kg -1 ), leaves (Fe = 340, Ca = 35; 1930 = Zn, mg = 20, Cu = 12600; Al = 1.160; Na = 420, K = 12180 mg Kg -1 ). Notably, the concentrations of toxic elements (Pb, Cd and Cr) were below the limits of detection and quantification of the analytical technique in any shoot of Verbena. Minerals determined in aqueous infusions showed proportions ranging from 1.7 to 57.1% of the total value of minerals found in the leaves of Verbena.
本研究用原子光谱法连续四年测定了马鞭草(Gervao, Verbena minutiflora)浸剂及其地上部位(叶、花、茎)的矿物质含量。在不同的矿物质水平下,空气中不同部位的微花草表现出显著的差异。不同采收年份,除K外,叶和花的所有矿物质含量均最高:茎(Fe = 50;Ca = 20, Zn = 770;Mg = 7.5;Cu = 4450;Al = 110;Na = 350, K = 13520 mg kg -1),花(Fe = 150, Ca = 33, Zn = 1.110, mg = 15, Cu = 7510, Al = 480;Na = 260, K = 10620 mg kg -1),叶(Fe = 340, Ca = 35;1930 = Zn, mg = 20, Cu = 12600;Al = 1.160;Na = 420, K = 12180 mg Kg -1)。值得注意的是,在马鞭草的所有枝条中,有毒元素(Pb、Cd和Cr)的浓度均低于分析技术的检测和定量限。在水浸液中测定的矿物质占马鞭草叶中矿物质总价值的比例为1.7 ~ 57.1%。

Because of the multifaceted character of fibromyalgia, new treatments have been proposed to control the symptoms. Among them, transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS) stands out. The objective of this work was to analyze the effectiveness of transcranial direct current stimulation associated with physical therapy regarding the pain and quality of life of patients with fibromyalgia. A prospective case series study was carried out with a sample of 4 female patients. Information regarding age, marital status, education, and occupation were collected, and the Visual Analog Scale for pain, McGill Pain Questionnaire and Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire were applied. Anodal stimulation was performed on the left primary motor cortex with an intensity of 2.0mA for 20 minutes daily for 2 consecutive weeks. After the neurostimulation session, the patients were subjected to physical therapy treatment for 30 minutes. The results demonstrated that the patients had a reduction in the scores of all the employed instruments after treatment. There was a positive correlation between quality of life and pain. These findings demonstrate that tDCS in conjunction with physical therapy is an option for reducing the algesic status and improving the quality of life of patients with fibromyalgia.

This study aimed to identify the prevalence of physical inactivity (PI) in schoolchildren of both sexes enrolled in public elementary schools in Goiânia (State of Goias). A cross-sectional, analytical study with 482 schoolchildren aged six and seven. Those responsible answered a form containing sociodemographic variables, data related to the practice of physical activity (PA) and displacement to school. Children who didn’t perform at least 60 minutes of PA per day were considered physically inactive. Descriptive analyses and chi-square statistics were used for the differences in proportions. The prevalence of PI was 31.9% (95% CI: 27.9-36.2), higher in the female students (37.6 - 95% CI: 31.8 to 43.7) compared to the male students (25.6 - 95% IC: 20.2 to 31.5) (p = 0.004). There was no difference in prevalence between inactive children from families enrolled or not in the Family Health Strategy (FHS) (p = 0.969). The prevalence of PI was high among schoolchildren, with a difference between the sexes. Being enrolled in the FHS didn’t change the prevalence of PI, indicating that the actions of health teams in schools need to be re-evaluated. These results indicate the need for programs to encourage the practice of PA among schoolchildren.

The knowledge of the epidemiological characteristics such as anatomic location, age, and gender of the patients with odontogenic tumors is extremely valuable in the development of differential diagnoses. In the present observational and retrospective study, the objective was to check the occurrence of these tumors in patients attended at the project of Oral Lesions: ‘Diagnosis, treatment and epidemiology of diseases of the oral cavity’ of the State University of Maringa, between 1995 and 2015. Data were obtained from the project charts, in what concerns the variables: gender, age, race, diagnosis, lesion site, time of evolution, symptomatology and radiographic characteristics. Tumors were classified in agreement with the World Health Organization (2005). A total of 2581 records were analyzed. Among them 32 (1.45%) showed the diagnosis of odontogenic tumor. There was no statistically significant difference among genres. The age group with greater incidence was 23-33 years old. Among the patients, 55.3% stated they did not know which the time span of evolution of the tumor. There was greater incidence in people of Caucasian origin and the most affected site was the left posterior region of the mandible. The keratocystic odontogenic tumor, followed by ameloblastoma and odontoma were shown to be the most common neoplasms found in the patients who participated in the project.

The present study has the objective to correlate the variables of flexibility and muscle power present in the vertical jumps, through tests done with female individuals, performing analyzes about two groups: Handball players (HG); weight lifters (WL). Initially, the protocol consisted on the performing of the flexibility test at Wells Bank. Subsequently, the jump test was performed, using the Counter movement jump (CMJ) and Squat jump (SJ). About the study groups, it can be observed that they have similar physical characteristics, but practice times (HG = 9.25 ± 3.28 versus WL = 1.85 ± 1.47 years) and weekly hours of activities (HG = 3.33 ± 1.23 versus WL = 5.29 ± 1.81 hours) were distinct. In the execution of SJ for HG, a high correlation was presented for all variables (Height 0.615; Power 0.718; Standard power 0.618). It also presented a high correlation in the non-normalized power (0.688) in CMJ. WL did not present a significant correlation for any of the variables. Based on the findings of the present study, jump test results have correlation with variables of flexibility, muscle power and handball players. However, there is no correlation for any variable for weight lifters.

The objective of this study was to verify the influence of i) a concurrent exercise program with self-selected intensities, and ii) order of exercise execution, on the cardiovascular indicators and functionality of medicated hypertensive patients. Seventeen individuals were allocated to one of two concurrent training groups: aerobic-resistance (7 men) and resistance-aerobic (3 men; 7 women). Each group underwent cardiovascular (heart rate, systolic and diastolic arterial pressure) and functional (6MWT, TUG, flexibility and hand grip strength) evaluations pre and post training. The training occurred over 9 weeks. Resistance exercises were performed with an elastic tube and participants’ body weight; self-selected intensity was supported by the OMNI-RES scale. The aerobic exercise was performed using a cycle ergometer with intensity measured by the Borg scale. A two-way ANOVA for repeated measures was used for comparisons between training programs, followed post hoc by the Bonferroni test, adopting p<0.05. There were no significant changes in the cardiovascular and functional capacity indicators from pre- to post-intervention, and there were no significant interactions based on the order of the training program. The results suggest that a concurrent training program with self-selected intensity, regardless of order of training, may promote similar changes in cardiovascular and functional health indicators in individuals with controlled hypertension.

Breast cancer ranks second as the most common in women. Surgery, the usual initial treatment of the disease, triggers important changes in the patient´s self-image and interferes in sexuality. Breast reconstruction usually improves life quality and has a positive psychological effect. It was developed a current transversal, observational qualitative research that comprised data collection at the Mastology Service of a hospital in the central region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, aiming to compare the prevalence of sexual dysfunctions in mastectomized females with or without breast reconstruction. The sample consisted of 28 females, aged between 36 and 73 years (53.77±10.77), of whom 17 did not undergo breast reconstruction (G1) and 11 had breast reconstruction (G2). The evaluation card adapted by Etienne & Waitman and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) were applied. Descriptive statistics of the evaluated variables, coupled to the normality test of Shapiro-Wilk were undertaken; correlation test of Pearson and correlation test of Spearman were employed respectively for co-relationships of symmetrical and asymmetrical variables. G2 has sexual dysfunction in all domains, whereas G1, although with total score above cut-off point, reveals predictive rates for sexual dysfunction, except in the domain satisfaction. The latter, coupled to libido, showed statistically significant difference between the two groups.

The association between the genotypic diversity of Streptococcus mutans and risk factors for dental caries in children attending an educational program in the public sector was investigated. Twenty-one children (2-7 years old) who presented at least three risk factors were allocated into two groups: caries free (n = 12); with caries activity (n = 9). Initially, 210 isolates of S. Mutans were analyzed through AP-PCR and in the second intervention (after 12 months), new evaluation of risk factors and dmf-t index was carried out, followed by statistical analysis of the data (Simple Logistic Regression and Chi-square Test). There was an association between genotype diversity and caries (p = 0.05). It was found that 66,6% of the caries-free children had one genotype, while 77.7% in the group with caries had two or more genotypes. Having two or more genotypes increased by seven times the chance of injury. Genotypic diversity was associated with inadequate eating habits and oral hygiene practices. The dmf-t index of children with two or more genotypes increased from 2.64 to 4.64. These findings suggest that harmful habits of oral hygiene and diet may favor colonization by S. mutans and greater genotypic diversity, potentializing the risk of dental caries in the children evaluated.

Twenty-one children (2-7 years old) who presented at least three risk factors were allocated into two groups: caries free (n = 12); with caries activity (n = 9). Initially, 210 isolates of S. Mutans were analyzed through AP-PCR and in the second intervention (after 12 months), new evaluation of risk factors and dmf-t index was carried out, followed by statistical analysis of the data (Simple Logistic Regression and Chi-square Test). There was an association between genotype diversity and caries (p = 0.05). It was found that 66,6% of the caries-free children had one genotype, while 77.7% in the group with caries had two or more genotypes. Having two or more genotypes increased by seven times the chance of injury. Genotypic diversity was associated with inadequate eating habits and oral hygiene practices. The dmf-t index of children with two or more genotypes increased from 2.64 to 4.64. These findings suggest that harmful habits of oral hygiene and diet may favor colonization by S. mutans and greater genotypic diversity, potentializing the risk of dental caries in the children evaluated.","PeriodicalId":7185,"journal":{"name":"Acta Scientiarum.

To investigate the influence of the weight of school backpacks on postural control of children. Cross-sectional study in healthy children aged eight years old. The postural control was evaluated on the force plate (FP) and the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) in three distinct conditions: without backpack (WB), and the backpack adjusted with 5% (.5) and 10% (. 10) of body mass. 90 children were evaluated, and 80% of them used backpacks with two shoulder straps, and 16% of the children carried over 10% of their body mass in the backpacks. Regarding the postural control with load on school backpack, there was increase in the sway area of the center of pressure (A-COP.WB = 6.92 cm²; A-COP.5 = 8.39 cm²; A-COP.10 = 7.96 cm²) and time, in seconds, the performance of the TUG (TUG.WB = 4.75 s; TUG.5 = 4.99 s; TUG.10 = 5.06 s), with statistically significant difference between the loads (p = 0.0001; p = 0.0005), respectively. The anteroposterior (VELAP.SM = 2.41cm s-1; VELAP.5 = 2.30 cm s-1; VELAP.10 = 2.22 cm s-1; p = 0.0001) and mediolateral velocity (VELML.WB = 2.38 cm s-1; VELML.5 = 2.28 cm s-1; VELML.10 = 2.20 cm s-1; p = 0.0001) had a decrease in the median values with statistically significant difference in different conditions. School backpack load increased the COP area, the time of the TUG and modified the response mechanisms. Therefore, loads up to 5% of body mass imposed on school backpack have negatively influenced the postural control.
目的探讨书包重量对儿童体位控制的影响。八岁健康儿童横断面研究。在三种不同的情况下:不带背包(WB),背包以5%(0.5)和10%(0.5)的幅度调整,通过力板(FP)和定时上走测试(TUG)来评估姿势控制。10)体重。对90名儿童进行了评估,其中80%的儿童使用双肩带背包,16%的儿童在背包中携带的重量超过其体重的10%。在负重姿势控制方面,压力中心摆动面积(A-COP)有所增加。WB = 6.92 cm²;一个警察。5 = 8.39 cm²;一个警察。10 = 7.96 cm²)和时间,以秒为单位,拖船(TUG.)的性能。WB = 4.75 s;TUG.5 = 4.99 s;TUG.10 = 5.06 s),负荷间差异有统计学意义(p = 0.0001;P = 0.0005)。前后侧(VELAP)。SM = 2.41cm s-1;VELAP.5 = 2.30 cm s-1;VELAP.10 = 2.22 cm s-1;p = 0.0001)和中外侧速度(VELML)。WB = 2.38 cm s-1;VELML.5 = 2.28 cm s-1;VELML.10 = 2.20 cm s-1;P = 0.0001)中位值下降,不同条件下差异有统计学意义。学校背包载荷增加了COP面积、拖曳时间,改变了响应机制。因此,在学校背包上施加高达体重5%的负荷会对姿势控制产生负面影响。
