The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the different degrees of severity of ‘CAT’ in the functional capacity evaluated by the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). This is a cross-sectional study, which included spirometrically defined COPD patients, out of exacerbation period and with motor and cognitive skills necessary to perform the spirometry and the 6MWT and reply to the ‘CAT’ questionnaire. We sorted groups according to the clinical impact proposed by ‘CAT’: mild, moderate, severe and very severe. We included 66 COPD patients, with FEV1 (% pred) averages of 53.1 ± 21.9, 51.4 ± 14.1, 50.6 ± 12.8 and 46.4 ± 13.0, which corresponded to the clinical impact of ‘CAT’, respectively (p > 0.05). The highest ‘CAT’ score, observed on mild, moderate and severe clinical impact did not determine the shortest walking distance in the 6MWT (p 30 (very severe clinical impact) was associated with shorter walking distance in the 6MWT (p < 0.05). We found no negative correlation between ‘CAT’ and 6MWT (p = 0.0707 and r = -0.2479). ‘CAT’ was not associated to 6MWT.

The study evaluated the influence of maternal age on the low birth weight (LBW), prematurity and deaths of newborns (NB). Was a descriptive, exploratory, retrospective and comparative study realized in Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of a university hospital in Brazil, with seven hundred six NB admitted in the NICU in the period of five years. The results showed high rate of childbirths of teenage mothers (27%). Among teenage mothers (193), 80% of their NB had low birth weight, and 84% were premature; and among adult mothers (513), 69% had low birth weight, and 77% were premature. During the study, 102 NB have died (mortality rate of 14.5%). The analysis of the relative risk (RR) of indicators – LBW (RR=1.75, CI95%=1.17-2.62, p < 0.006), prematurity (RR=1.60, CI95%=1.03-2.50, p < 0.03) – evidenced a higher probability of death for the NB from teenage mothers, with birth weight <2500 gramsor premature, than NB from adult mothers. In conclusion the outcome showed that the number of deaths during the neonatal period was not related to maternal age, but the prematurity and the low birth weight was.
本研究评估了产妇年龄对新生儿低出生体重(LBW)、早产和死亡的影响。是一项在巴西某大学医院新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)进行的描述性、探索性、回顾性和比较研究，在NICU住院的新生儿在5年内有776例。结果显示，青少年母亲的生育率很高(27%)。在少女母亲(193)中，80%的新生儿出生体重低，84%早产;在成年母亲(513人)中，69%的人出生体重过低，77%的人早产。在研究期间，102名新生儿死亡(死亡率为14.5%)。相对危险度分析(RR)指标- LBW (RR=1.75, CI95%=1.17-2.62, p < 0.006)和早产(RR=1.60, CI95%=1.03-2.50, p < 0.03) -证明出生体重<2500克的少女母亲的新生儿死亡概率高于成年母亲的新生儿。总之，结果表明，新生儿期死亡人数与产妇年龄无关，但与早产和低出生体重有关。

The aim of this study was to compare the risk of falls and characterize them in the urban and rural elderly. Observational study with elderly from urban and rural areas in the interior of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, evaluated by the Fall Risk Score and further criteria for the evaluation and characterization of the last fall within 12 months. A total of 125 elderly, 89 urban and 36 rural was evaluated. There was a high prevalence of medication use (93.6%), impaired vision (35.2%) and previous falls (81.6%) in the total sample of individuals as well as the risk of falls (76.8%) without differences between the groups. The variables of statistical significance were impaired hearing (p = 0.009) and impairment of the lower limbs (p = 0.04). Both the elderly living in rural areas and in urban areas showed high risk for falls in the group studied, with no significant difference between them. Thus, it is worth highlighting the importance of making a health work for guidance on falls.

An individual is considered disabled when he or she has permanent structural or functional abnormalities that prevent him or her from performing daily activities. There are around 1 billion people worldwide (about 15% of the population) with some type of disability or incapacity. About 80% of these people live in developing nations. This study aimed to identify and describe the profile of the disabled population in the Metropolitan Area of Maringa (MAM), Parana, considering its socio-spatial structure, which was defined by the Metropolis Observatory, Maringa Center. The elaboration of the profile counted with data collected from the 2010 Census sample, provided by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, and processed through the SAS software (2016). The study of the MAM in its general configuration reveals that its indicators are lower than national ones. The same indicators, when calculated considering its socio-spatial divisions, suggest a major imbalance in the prevalence of visual, hearing, motor or mental/intellectual disabilities. The research found the highest percentage of people with disabilities among the working class, working poor and farm workers. In contrast, the upper middle class showed the lowest indicators.

Omega-3 is a polyunsaturated fat considered essential for the body. This compound is SOLD as a nutraceutical in Brazil, being widely consumed by the population due to its functional properties. According to its health benefits, this paper aimed to investigate the labeling of nutraceutical products sold in drugstores in the city of Cascavel, Parana state - Brazil and verify its compliance with current legislation. The research was carried out in drugstore networks located in Cascavel, Parana state, in 09 different establishments, from May to June 2016. Nutraceutical products containing omega-3 in their formulations were identified at the sites visited. Their images were captured and proceeded with the research analyzing these labels according to the Legislation in force for products of functional and or health claim. We analyzed 13 labels, only 38.46% (five labels) presented no irregularities. Therefore, it was concluded that the laws in Brazil are not being followed by the companies responsible for manufacturing these products and the lack of mandatory information on their labels can put the consumer´s health at risk, being that it must be guaranteed the consumption safety of adequate and quality products.

Lactobacillus acidophilus used in three different applications, compounding pharmacies (LA1), fermented dairy (LA2), and allopathic compoundings (LA3) were tested to evaluate the existence of significant differences between them and in different growth conditions. In the evaluation of resistance to different commercial use antibiotics, all strains were sensitive to the antibiotics ampicillin, chloramphenicol, doxycycline, and tetracycline. LA1 was considered moderately sensitive (MS) to erythromycin and LA3 was MS to clindamycin and erythromycin. LA3 was classified between MS to resistant to erythromycin. All three strains were resistant to gentamicin. When evaluating acid pH resistance, the three origins presented similar behavior, with a decrease in cell viability at pH 2, maintaining constant viability at pH 3 and 4. In the test of resistance to the gastrointestinal tract conditions and hydrophobicity, LA2 presented better results. The three strains showed production of inhibitory compounds against pathogenic bacteria and deconjugated tauroconjugated bile salts (TDCA). It was concluded that, depending on the origin, Lactobacillus acidophilus may present different behaviors that will determine its growth and, consequently, its action in vivo . Due to the practicality of access, economy, and the satisfactory results in the tests performed, LA2 can be considered the strain of choice among those studied.

The Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) has proven successful in dental caries control. However, cleaning of the cavity, handling and protection of the material affect the success. The goal of this study was to evaluate the attitudes and knowledge of dental surgeons (DS), who work in the public service, about the ART. The DS working at the 15 th Regional Health Care Center of the state of Parana were invited to answer a questionnaire. Data were analyzed through absolute and percentage distribution, and by Fisher’s Exact Test (p < 0.005). Out of 213 sent, 107 questionnaires were returned. More than half of DS considered insufficient their knowledge about ART. There was a significant association between the knowledge on the strategy and academic degrees (p < 0.05). Only 14.1% affirmed to perform cavity cleaning with polyacrylic acid and 26.1% stated they protect the surface of the material. Among the respondents, 54.2% never received training on ART and 86.9% showed interest in a training for this procedure. It can be concluded that the lack of technical and scientific knowledge of DS makes it difficult to use ART in the clinical routine, and training on this procedure is necessary for efficient use in the public service.

Data were collected between March and April 2012 by an open interview with eight family members of illicit drugs-dependent individuals and subjected to theme-mode content analysis. Results were classified into two categories which showed intense suffering coupled to feelings of guilt, fear, shame, sadness, shame and manifestation of codependent behaviors such as denial and control of the one´s situation and that of others. Professionals should know the situation in which the families of drug addicts live to assist them in a different way. They should also identify codependent relatives, since they also need care so that their behavior does not worsen the symptoms and behavior of the drug user and prevents a possible medical or psychiatric diagnosis.

This is a cross-sectional descriptive study aimed at identifying the epidemiological profile of the patients treated at a Psychosocial Care Center for Alcohol and other type III drugs.Data were collected in 2014 from the records of 519 users, using a previously prepared epidemiological form. Most of patients are men attheproductive age; with low schooling and low family income.Most make use of alcohol, have undergone previous treatments in psychiatric hospitals and attended the unit for treatment by influence of third parties, even when it is contemplated. The users of the service are people with serious social and health commitments and although they are increasing use of crack, which is the current concern of public policies, alcohol is still the drug of predilection and represents the gateway to other drugs
