Desenvolvimento de um monitor holter com interface gráfica e gravação em cartão SD
Monografia (graduação)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade UnB Gama, 2015.O presente trabalho apresenta a implementação de um Monitor Holter com display gráfico que possibilita a visualização do eletrocardiograma (ECG). Essa técnica, exame Holter, apresenta a vantagem de ser não-invasiva. Os subsistemas do equipamento incluem os circuitos analógicos de amplificação, os circuitos de alimentação e estabilização de tensão, o microprocessador TIVA e circuitos de apoio, o display gráfico, e o sistema de interface com cartão SD. Os sinais são gravados em forma digital em um cartão SD, e podem ser lidos e processados posteriormente em um computador pessoal (PC). Para aquisição do sinal analógico do ECG é utilizada a placa Bitalino. O resultado é um sinal com pouco ruído para a aplicação e pronto para ser analisado por um profissional qualificado da área da saúde. São apresentados teste de desempenho para diferentes formas de onda. Dessa forma, sua utilização vem da necessidade de documentar ocorrências de comportamento anormal, ou não, da atividade elétrica cardíaca ao longo da rotina do paciente
Comparação de dados de PSA e resultados da biópsia no diagnóstico do câncer de próstata, obtidos em Itaúna (MG), no período de 2002 a 2018. / Comparison of PSA data and biopsy results in the diagnosis of prostate cancer, obtained in Itaúna (MG), from 2002 to 2018.
O câncer é considerado o principal problema de saúde pública do mundo, e situa-se, na maioria dos países, entre as quatro principais causas de morte prematura.1 Considerando-se apenas o sexo masculino, o câncer de próstata é o segundo mais prevalente e está associado a elevada morbimortalidade devido a seu curso usualmente oligossintomático, com frequente diagnóstico tardio.5 Este trabalho analisou dados de pacientes de uma clínica de imagem no município de Itaúna, MG, comparando seus resultados de dosagem de PSA e biópsia, avaliando se o uso dos resultados de PSA seriam confiáveis para um screening inicial, ajudando a diminuir o número de homens a serem encaminhados desnecessariamente para biópsia. Concluiu-se que a melhor forma de reduzir o número de biópsias excessivas com todos seus impactos negativos associados, seria por meio da associação de vários métodos de rastreamento, tais como dosagem de PSA, a densidade de PSA, velocidade de PSA, toque retal e/ou presença de áreas alterada na ultrassonografia transretal
INSATISFAÇÃO CORPORAL, NÍVEL DE ATIVIDADE FÍSICA E COMPORTAMENTO SEDENTÁRIO EM ADOLESCENTES DO SEXO FEMININO
RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a associação da imagem corporal com o nível de atividade física, composição corporal e o comportamento sedentário de adolescentes do sexo feminino. Métodos: Estudo transversal e exploratório com 120 adolescentes do sexo feminino, de 14 a 19 anos, de Viçosa, MG. A imagem corporal foi avaliada por uma Escala de Silhuetas e pelo Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). O peso, a estatura e o perímetro da cintura foram aferidos, avaliando-se a relação cintura estatura e o percentual de gordura corporal. O nível de atividade física (NAF) foi avaliado pelo Recordatório de Atividade Física de 24h (R24h) e o comportamento sedentário, pelo tempo em frente à tela de uma TV, jogando videogame, ao computador e usando tablets e, separadamente, o tempo de tela ao celular. Resultados: A média de idade foi 16,5±1,5 anos, sendo a maioria das participantes eutróficas (77,6%), sedentárias/baixo NAF (84,2%), com tempo de tela (85,2%) e tempo de celular (58,7%) elevados. A insatisfação corporal manifestou-se em 40,6% pelo BSQ e em 45,8% pela Escala de Silhuetas. A distorção corporal manifestou-se em 52,9% das participantes. As medidas de composição corporal, juntamente com o tempo ao celular e o NAF, mostraram associação com a insatisfação corporal, sendo as adolescentes mais ativas as mais insatisfeitas. Conclusões: O estudo mostrou que as adolescentes com maior tempo ao celular tinham maior insatisfação corporal, assim como as fisicamente mais ativas. Todas as medidas de avaliação da composição corporal mostraram-se associadas ao nível de insatisfação, principalmente o índice de massa corporal, perímetro da cintura e relação cintura-estatura
BODY DISSATISFACTION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, AND SEDENTARY BEHAVIOR IN FEMALE ADOLESCENTS
<p></p><p>ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the association of body image with physical activity level, body composition, and sedentary behavior (SB) of female adolescents. Methods: Exploratory cross-sectional study conducted with 120 female adolescents aged between 14-19 years, from the city of Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Southeast Brazil. Body image was evaluated with a Body Silhouette Scale (BSS) and a Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). Weight, height, and waist circumference values were analyzed, as well as the waist-to-height ratio and body fat percentage. The physical activity level (PAL) was assessed by 24-hour Physical Activity Recall and SB by screen time, that is, time spent in front of a TV, playing video game, on the computer and using tablets, and, separately, the cell phone time. Results: Mean age was 16.5±1.5 years, and most adolescents were eutrophic (77.6%), sedentary/low PAL (84.2%), with high screen time (85.2%) and cell phone time (58.7%). Body dissatisfaction was stated in 40.6% of BSQ and 45.8% of BSS evaluations. Body distortion was identified in 52.9% of participants. All body composition measures, along with cell phone time and PAL, were associated with body dissatisfaction, the more active adolescents presenting higher levels of dissatisfaction. Conclusions: This study concluded that female adolescents with higher cell phone time also present higher body dissatisfaction, as well as the most physically active ones. All body composition measurements were associated with body dissatisfaction, mainly body mass index, waist circumference, and waist-to-height ratio.</p><p></p
Effect of exposure to a light‑emitting diode (LED) on the physicochemical characteristics of natural latex biomembranes used to treat diabetic ulcers
Purpose Natural latex biomembrane has shown high therapeutic potential for the treatment of diabetic ulcers when associated
with phototherapy. In this study, physical and chemical alterations in the latex biomembranes were evaluated after exposure
to light-emitting diode (LED) irradiation and after contact with NaCl solution. Methods There were three experimental groups: natural latex biomembranes (1) in natura; (2) after 35 min of LED light irradiation; and (3) after immersion in NaCl 0.9 g% solution. The samples were analyzed by tensile strength test, thermogravimetry, contact angle wettability, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Results The biomembranes that were submitted to contact with NaCl aqueous solution or exposure to LED did not undergo impairment of mechanical resistance. The thermogravimetry analysis indicated that increasing temperature led to mass loss in all samples, referring to their decomposition temperatures. In the wettability test, biomembranes exposed to LED showed
a signifcant reduction in the contact angle between 0 and 10 min, indicating an increase in hydrophilicity, suggesting water
storage capacity. The Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry assay showed that there was a more signifcant reduction in
vibration intensity after immersion in NaCl solution compared to untreated biomembranes. An increase in the intensity of
the entire spectrum of biomembranes exposed to LED was observed in comparison with the other samples, which may be
related to photodegradation caused by LED light irradiation. Conclusion The biomembranes underwent signifcant changes in its chemical structure after being subjected to diferent types of exposure and maintained its elasticity and tensile strength properties, in addition to showing good water retention capacity after exposure to LED. Thus, it maintains many of its properties for application as a tissue-regenerating biomaterial, even when subjected to LED irradiation and a humid environment

Brazilian Flora 2020: Leveraging the power of a collaborative scientific network
International audienceThe shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description of biological taxa and the understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, and evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant taxonomic impediment to biodiversity research and conservation planning. The taxonomic impediment and the biodiversity crisis are widely recognized, highlighting the urgent need for reliable taxonomic data. Over the past decade, numerous countries worldwide have devoted considerable effort to Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), which called for the preparation of a working list of all known plant species by 2010 and an online world Flora by 2020. Brazil is a megadiverse country, home to more of the world's known plant species than any other country. Despite that, Flora Brasiliensis, concluded in 1906, was the last comprehensive treatment of the Brazilian flora. The lack of accurate estimates of the number of species of algae, fungi, and plants occurring in Brazil contributes to the prevailing taxonomic impediment and delays progress towards the GSPC targets. Over the past 12 years, a legion of taxonomists motivated to meet Target 1 of the GSPC, worked together to gather and integrate knowledge on the algal, plant, and fungal diversity of Brazil. Overall, a team of about 980 taxonomists joined efforts in a highly collaborative project that used cybertaxonomy to prepare an updated Flora of Brazil, showing the power of scientific collaboration to reach ambitious goals. This paper presents an overview of the Brazilian Flora 2020 and provides taxonomic and spatial updates on the algae, fungi, and plants found in one of the world's most biodiverse countries. We further identify collection gaps and summarize future goals that extend beyond 2020. Our results show that Brazil is home to 46,975 native species of algae, fungi, and plants, of which 19,669 are endemic to the country. The data compiled to date suggests that the Atlantic Rainforest might be the most diverse Brazilian domain for all plant groups except gymnosperms, which are most diverse in the Amazon. However, scientific knowledge of Brazilian diversity is still unequally distributed, with the Atlantic Rainforest and the Cerrado being the most intensively sampled and studied biomes in the country. In times of “scientific reductionism”, with botanical and mycological sciences suffering pervasive depreciation in recent decades, the first online Flora of Brazil 2020 significantly enhanced the quality and quantity of taxonomic data available for algae, fungi, and plants from Brazil. This project also made all the information freely available online, providing a firm foundation for future research and for the management, conservation, and sustainable use of the Brazilian funga and flora
Ofatumumab versus Teriflunomide in Multiple Sclerosis
BACKGROUND: Ofatumumab, a subcutaneous anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, selectively depletes B cells. Teriflunomide, an oral inhibitor of pyrimidine synthesis, reduces T-cell and B-cell activation. The relative effects of these two drugs in patients with multiple sclerosis are not known. METHODS: In two double-blind, double-dummy, phase 3 trials, we randomly assigned patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis to receive subcutaneous ofatumumab (20 mg every 4 weeks after 20-mg loading doses at days 1, 7, and 14) or oral teriflunomide (14 mg daily) for up to 30 months. The primary end point was the annualized relapse rate. Secondary end points included disability worsening confirmed at 3 months or 6 months, disability improvement confirmed at 6 months, the number of gadolinium-enhancing lesions per T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, the annualized rate of new or enlarging lesions on T2-weighted MRI, serum neurofilament light chain levels at month 3, and change in brain volume. RESULTS: Overall, 946 patients were assigned to receive ofatumumab and 936 to receive teriflunomide; the median follow-up was 1.6 years. The annualized relapse rates in the ofatumumab and teriflunomide groups were 0.11 and 0.22, respectively, in trial 1 (difference, -0.11; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.16 to -0.06; P<0.001) and 0.10 and 0.25 in trial 2 (difference, -0.15; 95% CI, -0.20 to -0.09; P<0.001). In the pooled trials, the percentage of patients with disability worsening confirmed at 3 months was 10.9% with ofatumumab and 15.0% with teriflunomide (hazard ratio, 0.66; P = 0.002); the percentage with disability worsening confirmed at 6 months was 8.1% and 12.0%, respectively (hazard ratio, 0.68; P = 0.01); and the percentage with disability improvement confirmed at 6 months was 11.0% and 8.1% (hazard ratio, 1.35; P = 0.09). The number of gadolinium-enhancing lesions per T1-weighted MRI scan, the annualized rate of lesions on T2-weighted MRI, and serum neurofilament light chain levels, but not the change in brain volume, were in the same direction as the primary end point. Injection-related reactions occurred in 20.2% in the ofatumumab group and in 15.0% in the teriflunomide group (placebo injections). Serious infections occurred in 2.5% and 1.8% of the patients in the respective groups. CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with multiple sclerosis, ofatumumab was associated with lower annualized relapse rates than teriflunomide.
