Clinical characteristics of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention in the years 2014 to 2019

Objetivo: Identificar as características clínicas de pacientes submetidos a intervenção coronária percutânea (ICP) entre os anos de 2014 a 2019. Métodos: Estudo transversal retrospectivo, com abordagem quantitativa. Incluíram-se prontuários de pacientes adultos, de ambos os sexos, com idade igual ou superior a 18 anos, submetidos ao procedimento de ICP diagnóstico e/ou terapêutico em um serviço de hemodinâmica localizado na Fronteira-Oeste do Rio Grande do Sul. A análise deu-se por meio de estatística descritiva simples. Resultados: Dos 344 prontuários de pacientes submetidos a ICP, distribuídos nos seis anos, verificou-se que a amostra ficou composta de (n=225; 65,4%), sexo masculino com média de idade de 62,98 anos (Dp ±10,03). No que se refere às características clínicas, 110(31,97%) pacientes internaram por angina pectoris seguido de 107 (31,10%) para Infarto Agudo do Miocárdio (IAM). O principal sintoma relatado pelos pacientes na chegada ao atendimento de saúde foi a angina (n=240; 69,76%). Um pouco mais da metade (n=200; 58,13%) foi submetida apenas à angioplastia com a colocação de um, dois ou três stents. O desfecho clínico foi alta hospitalar (n=331; 96,22%). Conclusão: O conhecimento das características dos pacientes submetidos a ICP torna-se fundamental para otimizar o processo de trabalho e de cuidado possibilitando, ao enfermeiro, implementar intervenções de cuidado de modo articulado com a rede de atenção à saúdeObjective: To identify the clinical characteristics of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between 2014 and 2019. Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. We will include medical records of adult patients, of both sexes, with adiet of 18 years or more, undergoing diagnostic and/or therapeutic PCI procedures in a hemodynamic service located in the West Border of Rio Grande do Sul. simple descriptives. Results: Two 344 medical records of patients undergoing PCI, distributed over six years, it was found that it was composed of (n = 225; 65.4%), male with a mean age of 62.98 years (SD ± 10.03). Not referring to clinical characteristics, 110 (31.97%) patients were hospitalized for angina pectoris, followed by 107 (31.10%) for Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). The main symptom reported in patients after healthcare or care for angina (n = 240; 69.76%). A little more than the target (n = 200; 58.13%), only angioplasty was performed with the placement of one, two or three stents. Either clinical failure or hospital discharge (n = 331; 96.22%). Conclusion: The knowledge of the characteristics of two patients undergoing PCI is essential to optimize the work and care process, enabling, as a nurse, to implement assistance interventions in an articulated manner as a health care networ

Simulation of active control using fuzzy logic applied to a pulse combustor

This work analyzes an active fuzzy logic control system in a Rijke type pulse combustor. During the system development, a study of the existing types of control for pulse combustion was carried out and a simulation model was implemented to be used with the package Matlab and Simulink. Blocks which were not available in the simulator library were developed. A fuzzy controller was developed and its membership functions and inference rules were established. The obtained simulation showed that fuzzy logic is viable in the control of combustion instabilities. The obtained results indicated that the control system responded to pulses in an efficient and desirable way. It was verified that the system needed approximately 0.2 s to increase the tube internal pressure from 30 to 90 mbar, with an assumed total delay of 2 ms. The effects of delay variation were studied. Convergence was always obtained and general performance was not affected by the delay. The controller sends a pressure signal in phase with the Rijke tube internal pressure signal, through the speakers, when an increase the oscillations pressure amplitude is desired. On the other hand, when a decrease of the tube internal pressure amplitude is desired, the controller sends a signal 180° out of phase

FROM FACTORY-FLOOR TO UNIVERSITY

The interaction between industry and university is often discussed. Industry participants feel they do not have enough time to spend with academics because of tight deadlines to achieve your goals. The other hand, professors and his students do not have availability and resources for responding quickly to industry activities. Both sides recognize the associated problems and feel the consequences of various forms. One way to reduce the distance between them is to provide industrial labs that resemble the factory floor at the university. Thus not only students may work on a real technological base, but also the industry's problems can be brought to the university laboratory. To ensure that relevant industrial problems will be studied, the industry needs help in the formulation of the problem being researched. The graduate program of Automation and Control Engineering from UNESP Sorocaba is aimed at training human resources with skills in automation and control activities related to the development of automatic control processes, integrating electronic commands, intelligent manufacturing and industrial robotics. In order to achieve its objectives, one of the pillars of the university consists of a wide range of modern equipments and software for industrial automation, which allows the circuit assembly from most primitive until configuration and programming of a complex system of integrated manufacturing. This paper describes industrial automation equipments and laboratory structure offered to students of Control and Automation Engineering graduate program at UNESP Sorocaba as alternative to close technologies and real problems on the job until academic world. The strategic is to do students understand theory and operations in robotic and industrial automation by means to manipulating real production systems locate at universit

EFEITOS DOS EXTRATOS AQUOSO E METANÓLICO DE ALGAROBA SOBRE CULTURAS DE LARVAS DE NEMATÓDEOS GASTRINTESTINAIS DE CAPRINOS

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos in vitro dos extratos metanólico e aquoso dos frutos e das folhas de Prosopis juliflora (Sw) D.C. (algaroba), respectivamente, sobre cultivos de larvas de nematódeos gastrintestinais de caprinos. Seis concentrações do extrato metanólico (724,5; 557,3; 428,7; 329,8; 253,7; 195,1mg/mL) e uma concentração do extrato aquoso (110 mg/mL) foram utilizadas para o tratamento dos cultivos de larvas, realizados em triplicata. Como controle positivo e negativo foram utilizadas doramectina e água destilada, respectivamente. Os resultados revelaram uma redução superior a 90% do número de larvas infectantes para os diferentes gêneros, nas concentrações de 724,5 a 253,7 mg/mL para o extrato metanólico e baixo percentual de redução (59,87%) para o extrato aquoso, demonstrando que,apenas o extrato metanólico da algaroba apresentou efeito no tratamento in vitro de nematódeos gastrintestinais de caprinos.
