    This study aims to evaluate the prevalence and individual characteristics of the metabolic syndrome (MBS) in sergipanas women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) using age as an association variable. It is a cross-sectional study involving 50 women aged 25-50 years old with PCOS in accord with Rotterdam criteria (2003). For the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome, the National Cholesterol Education Program's Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III) was considered. The prevalence of the MBS was 56%. As for the individual components of MS, was evident: abdominal circumference > 88 cm in 72%, triglycerides ≥ 150 mg/dL in 32%, HDL-cholesterol <50 mg/dl in 54%, fasting glucose ≥ 110 mg/dl in 26%, systolic blood pressure ≥ 130 mmHg in 52% and diastolic blood pressure ≥ 85 mmHg in 40%. Patients aged equal or over 35 years had a higher percentage of Abdominal Circumference (AC) > 88 cm (40%), modified triglyceride levels (20%), HDL-cholesterol to levels below 50 mg/dl (34%), altered levels of fasting glucose (22%), systolic blood pressure (SBP) equal to or above 130 mmHg (36%) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) equal to or above 85 mmHg (26%). There was a statistically significant association (p <0.05) between age and the following variables: AC, triglycerides, fasting glucose and DBP. There was a significant prevalence of MS in more than half the women studied, indicating increased chances for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) and pointing out the need for tracking cardiovascular risk among women with clinical manifestations of PCOS

    Objectives: To evaluate the nutritional status of low-risk pregnant women during prenatal, characterize the sociodemographic profile and quantify the patients with inadequate weight. Methods: Observational, prospective in low-risk pregnant women in Aracaju health centers, Sergipe, from March to June 2014. The evaluation followed the nutritional standards recommended by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and was conducted in three consultations consecutive, where the body mass index (BMI) was calculated by the researcher. Socioeconomic and gestational data of the patients were placed on a special form. Statistical analysis was performed using the EPI-INFO software, made distribution tables of frequencies and performed association testing variables. Results: 188 pregnant women were selected, of these 150 were eligible. The average age was 26 years, with standard deviation of 6.53. The average pre-pregnancy weight was 56.3 kg (± 20.8), average weights in the first, second and third reviews were 65.17 kg (± 12.8), 67.56 kg (± 12.9 ) and 69.97 kg (± 12.6), respectively. The pregnant woman’s card filling was incomplete in 63% of cases. In the pre-pregnancy period, 14% were malnourished and 14% obese. A significant association between BMI identified in the consultations and the inadequacy of pre-pregnancy BMI (p <0.01). Conclusions: Most of the women had BMI changed during the evaluations. Prenatal card filling proved inadequate, but there was no association with BMI during pregnancy. The factor related to pregnancy BMI change was the pre-pregnancy BMI inappropriate

    Este relato de extensão tem como objetivo apresentar a experiência do Time Enactus CEFET/RJ Angra dos Reis, durante a sua primeira participação como competidor principal no Evento Nacional Enactus Brasil - ENEB, o maior evento de empreendedorismo social da América Latina. Trata-se do maior e mais importante evento anual em que os times participantes da rede Enactus de todas as regiões do Brasil se encontram para trocar experiências e realizar networking. Além disso, cada time defende o projeto desenvolvido ao longo do período que, em comum, têm o objetivo promover o desenvolvimento sustentável e empoderamento da comunidade onde vive. Participar do campeonato trouxe uma nova perspectiva para o time, tanto nas possibilidades da criação de um projeto, no impacto que um projeto em desenvolvimento avançado pode ter na vida dos brasileiros e no real poder de transformação da rede

    A revista Gama prossegue o aprofundamento da sua linha editorial específica e dentro do projeto mais alargado de desafiar criadores a debaterem e apresentar a obra de outros criadores, dentro do espaço descentrado que é o universo dos idiomas ibéricos. Trata-se de, dentro deste tema mais abrangente, revisitar arquivos, autores de épocas um pouco recuadas, de resgatar do esquecimento o património que existe e urge apresentar, discutir, colocar em ação, fazer funcionar, pela voz dos artistas. A arte necessita de ser ativada por intermédio do pensamento, e com ele, do discurso. Há vozes silenciosas que aguardam olhos, ouvidos, inquietações, deslumbramentos. Quando uma peça é descoberta é como se voltasse a ser feita: esse é o paradoxo do documento. A arte é vestígio e ao mesmo tempo universalidade, eternidade. É local e total. É sempre, em simultâneo, sem contradição, facto e possibilidade, presença e ausência. Os vinte e quatro artigos apresentados neste número cinco da Revista Gama oferecem outros tantos pontos de vista sobre os discursos artísticos. Recupera-se obra desconhecida, mostram-se obras, descobrem-se autores desaparecidos. Aqui a arte depositou-se, precipitou-se, tornou-se visível ao resgate. O resgate, operação de amor, é feito por artistas. Os públicos estão no futuro, à nossa espera.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Global assessment of marine plastic exposure risk for oceanic birds

    Plastic pollution is distributed patchily around the world’s oceans. Likewise, marine organisms that are vulnerable to plastic ingestion or entanglement have uneven distributions. Understanding where wildlife encounters plastic is crucial for targeting research and mitigation. Oceanic seabirds, particularly petrels, frequently ingest plastic, are highly threatened, and cover vast distances during foraging and migration. However, the spatial overlap between petrels and plastics is poorly understood. Here we combine marine plastic density estimates with individual movement data for 7137 birds of 77 petrel species to estimate relative exposure risk. We identify high exposure risk areas in the Mediterranean and Black seas, and the northeast Pacific, northwest Pacific, South Atlantic and southwest Indian oceans. Plastic exposure risk varies greatly among species and populations, and between breeding and non-breeding seasons. Exposure risk is disproportionately high for Threatened species. Outside the Mediterranean and Black seas, exposure risk is highest in the high seas and Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) of the USA, Japan, and the UK. Birds generally had higher plastic exposure risk outside the EEZ of the country where they breed. We identify conservation and research priorities, and highlight that international collaboration is key to addressing the impacts of marine plastic on wide-ranging species
