Scapular body fractures: results of operative treatment

The authors operated on 22 patients with scapular body fractures, with a mean age of 35 years. The minimal follow-up was 12 months. All patients were treated from the Judet posterior approach. The study included 14 cases of an isolated body fracture, three of scapular body fracture combined with fracture of the scapular neck and five of glenoid fossa fracture. In all 14 cases where a 3D computed tomography (CT) reconstruction was performed prior to operation, intraoperative findings corresponded to this reconstruction. In eight cases without preoperative 3D CT reconstruction, the correct type of fracture was identified in only two cases. We also identified three basic types of fractures of the lateral border of the scapula. The anatomical relationship between the glenoid fossa and scapular body, congruency and stability of the shoulder joint was achieved in all cases. The average constant score was 94

Comportamentos de risco para transtornos do comportamento alimentar e fatores associados entre estudantes de nutrição do município do Rio de Janeiro

OBJETIVO: Caracterizar práticas alimentares e fatores de risco associados a transtornos do comportamento alimentar entre estudantes de nutrição do município do Rio de Janeiro. MÉTODOS: Estudo seccional junto a um segmento populacional apontado na literatura como de risco para o surgimento de transtornos alimentares. Utilizaram-se o Teste de Investigação Bulímica de Edimburgo (BITE), o Teste de Atitudes Alimentares (EAT-26) e uma variável que considera os dois instrumentos associados (Nunes et al., 2001). RESULTADOS: Analisaram-se 193 estudantes do sexo feminino, com média de idade de 20,9 anos ± 2 anos. Detectou-se resultado positivo em 14% (intervalo de confiança [IC] 95%: 9,4%-20%) no EAT-26. No BITE, para sintomas elevados e gravidade intensa, foram encontradas prevalências de 5,7% (IC 95%: 2,9%-10%) e 3,2% (IC 95%: 1,2%-6,9%), respectivamente. Quando combinados EAT-26 positivo e BITE com gravidade intensa e sintomas elevados, constataram-se correlações positivas com prevalências de 64,7% (p < 0,001) e 36,4% (p < 0,001), respectivamente. Das mulheres que apresentaram EAT-26 positivo, 88,5% encontram-se na faixa de normalidade do índice de massa corporal (IMC) (p < 0,031). CONCLUSÕES: Deve-se atentar para comportamentos de risco para transtornos alimentares no grupo, uma vez que esses distúrbios serão objeto de sua prática profissional, podendo comprometê-la nos casos em que nutricionistas sejam portadores de síndromes instaladas ou comportamentos precursores

The aim of the thesis is to get an overview of the database services available in cloud computing environment, investigate the security risks associated with it and propose the possible countermeasures to minimize the risks. The thesis also analyzes two cloud database service providers namely; Amazon RDS and Xeround. The reason behind choosing these two providers is because they are currently amongst the leading cloud database providers and both provide relational cloud databases which makes the comparison useful. The focus of the analysis has been to provide an overview of their database services as well as the available security measurements. A guide has been appended at the end of the report to help with technical configurations of database migration and connecting applications to the databases for the two mentioned cloud database providers. The thesis has been conducted on behalf of the Swedish Armed Forces and after reviewing the security risks associated with cloud databases, it is recommended that the Armed Forces should refrain from public cloud database services. Security deficiencies such as vague physical security and access control procedures, unavailability of preferred monitoring tools and most importantly the absence of proper encryption and key management schemes make the public database services useless for an authority such as the Armed Forces.  The recommended solutions are therefore to either use a jointly-owned community cloud database solution for less confidential data only or to use on-premise private cloud database solution for all but the TOP SECRET classified data.     Keywords: Cloud computing, cloud database services, Swedish Armed Forces, security risks, Xeround, Amazon RDS
