    The risk that patients with Behçet's disease may develop various thrombotic complications has been previously described. Although vascular complications from Budd-Chiari syndrome associated with Behçet's disease have been described, the pathogenic mechanisms are still unknown. Severe vascular complications present in Budd-Chiari syndrome associated with Behçet's disease are very common among young male adults. The objective of this study was to review the literature and present the association of Budd-Chiari syndrome with Behçet's disease.O risco de pacientes com doença de Behçet desenvolverem vårias complicaçÔes trombóticas jå foi descrito. Apesar de complicaçÔes vasculares na síndrome de Budd-Chiari associada à doença de Behçet terem sido descritas, os mecanismos patogenéticos ainda são desconhecidos.

    Soils provide a broad set of vital ecosystem services and sustains the production of food and fibers, balancing the ecosystem. Thus, from the perspective of soil quality, it is defined as an ability to balance within the ecosystem to sustain biological productivity, promoting the health of plants and animals, being evaluated by traditional indicators as physical, chemical and biological indicators, so the present work aims to estimate the soil quality index using multivariate models using soil biological attributes and validation with growth variables of the bioindicator plant. The study was developed in the agricultural area in P. Prudente, SP, the points collected were georeferenced, collections in depth of 0 - 20 cm, microbiological analysis, microbial carbon and nitrogen biomass, dehydrogenase, respiration and microbial coefficient, having a bioindicator plant curly lettuce (Lucy Brown) as a validator of the soil. The results were discovered using the PCA model for the identification of autos vectors and autos values, grouping and identifying their collinearities, linear regression, r-pearson validation and cluster heuristic analysis. The microbial attributes and the bioindicator plant discriminated the agricultural areas evaluated with establishment and validation of IQS. The metabolic coefficient and N of the microbial biomass dissipation of the highest covariance values by multivariate analysis. The reforestation area with native species (IQS 0.782%) and the livestock crop integration system (IQS 0.765%) were evaluated as areas with better soil quality

    Com o intuito de modelar o tempo em que o curso de uma patologia se desenvolve, o presente trabalho empregou os conceitos de anĂĄlise de sobrevivĂȘncia no desenvolvimento de um modelo estatĂ­stico para de estudar os tempos de vida dos hospedeiros do vĂ­rus da tuberculose. Com base nos resultados, constatou-se que o modelo probabilĂ­stico Inversa de Chen forneceu um excelente ajuste aos dados de sobrevivĂȘncia, quando eles apresentam função de risco unimodal. AlĂ©m disso, concluiu-se que, numa comparação com outros modelos propostos pela literatura, o modelo em questĂŁo se mostrou o mais adequado para analisar e descrever os dados sobre os tempos de vida no desenvolvimento da infecção por tuberculose

    The scope of this paper is to describe the work of manual sugarcane harvesters, assessing the nutritional behavior and body composition between the beginning and the end of the harvest. A descriptive longitudinal study was made of harvesters in Piracicaba, SĂŁo Paulo, Brazil, who answered a socio-demographic questionnaire and authorized measurement of Body Mass Index, Body Fat Percentage and Arm Muscle Circumference at three stages. Creatine kinase on the skeletal isoform, C-reactive protein and plasma urea were measured at the end of the harvest. Thirty male migrant harvesters with ages ranging from 18 to 44 from the Northeast (CearĂĄ) were assessed over a nine-month period. The workers suffered significant body fat and weight loss in the first half of the harvest. Eighteen workers had abnormal levels of creatine kinase and four - out of 24 who had donated blood - had altered urea levels. Sugarcane harvesting work causes weight and body fat loss and gains in the lean body mass index, which suffers wear-out when working on consecutive harvests. It can also cause changes in biochemical markers of chronic systemic inflammation. Further studies will make it possible to comprehend the relationships between stress, wear-out, labor longevity and health in sugarcane harvesting.Descrever o trabalho de cortadores manuais de cana de açĂșcar avaliando o comportamento nutricional e a composição corporal do inĂ­cio ao final da safra. Estudo descritivo longitudinal de cortadores na regiĂŁo de Piracicaba, SĂŁo Paulo, Brasil, por meio de um questionĂĄrio sociodemogrĂĄfico e antropomĂ©trico que permitiu medir Índice de Massa Corporal, Percentual de Gordura Corporal e CircunferĂȘncia Muscular do Braço em trĂȘs momentos. Ao final da safra foi dosada a Creatina Quinase na isoforma esquelĂ©tica, proteĂ­na C reativa e ureia plasmĂĄtica. Durante nove meses, 30 homens safristas migrantes nordestinos (CearĂĄ), com idade de 18 a 44 anos foram estudados. Os trabalhadores tiveram perda significativa de gordura corporal e peso na primeira metade da safra. A maioria ganhou massa magra e os mais velhos na atividade ganharam menos. Dezoito trabalhadores apresentaram valores alterados de Creatina Quinase e quatro tiveram urĂ©ia alterada dentre os 24 que cederam sangue. O trabalho no corte de cana gera perda de peso e gordura corporal e aumento de massa magra que se desgasta com a histĂłria de trabalho em safras sucessivas. Pode ainda causar alteração de marcadores bioquĂ­micos de inflamação crĂŽnica sistĂȘmica. Novos estudos permitirĂŁo entender a relação esforço, desgaste, longevidade laboral e saĂșde no corte de cana.Universidade Estadual de CampinasUniversidade Estadual do Centro Oeste Departamento de Educação FĂ­sicaUniversidade de SĂŁo Paulo Departamento de SaĂșde AmbientalUniversidade Federal de SĂŁo Paulo (UNIFESP) Departamento de SaĂșde, ClĂ­nica e InstituiçÔesUNIFESP, Depto. de SaĂșde, ClĂ­nica e InstituiçÔesSciEL
