Uma Análise Comparativa De Parâmetros Do Doppler Transcraniano Adquiridos Durante A Colocação De Stent Carotídeo E Endarterectomia Carotídea Por Semieversão

Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) have both been proposed for treatment of critical atherosclerotic stenosis located at the carotid bifurcation. Monitoring of hyperintense microembolic signals (MES) by transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) is considered a method of quality control, both in CEA and in CAS. Objective To analyze temporal distribution of MES throughout both semi-eversion CEA and CAS procedures and to evaluate changes in mean velocity of blood flow through the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA). Method Thirty-three procedures (17 CEA and 16 CAS) were prospectively monitored using TCD and the data were related to three different stages of surgery (pre-cerebral protection, during cerebral protection and post-cerebral protection). Chi-square, Mann-Whitney, ANOVA and contrast tests were used for statistical analysis. Results The MES were uniformly distributed in the CEA group, but not in the CAS group (p = 0.208). The number of MES was higher in the CAS group in all stages. The average flow in the MCA was similarly lower in both groups during the protection stage. Conclusion CEA provoked a lower incidence of MES per procedure than CAS in all stages. The behavior of the averages of the mean of blood flow through the MCA was similar in both groups.15319720

PADU ARRAIAS: extensão e inclusão na UFT

O objetivo deste trabalho consiste em mostrar a realização do Padu no Câmpus Arraias. As atividades do Padu Arraias/2018 iniciaram em 02 de abril e finalizou em 30 de novembro de 2018. Quanto a metodologia utilizada nas aulas preparatórias ao ingresso a universidade, os professores realizam o planejamento baseando-se nas competências e habilidades para as grandes áreas propostas pelo ENEM. Para tanto, apoiam em material didático específico, bem como em cadernos de exercícios, simulados e também aulões com profissionais de áreas específicas.  É neste contexto, que os estudantes dos diversos cursos do Câmpus de Arraias desenvolvem ações extensionistas de acompanhamento pedagógico aos futuros acadêmicos da universidade. Observa-se que o Padu Arraias funciona como uma via de mão dupla, na medida em que insere os estudantes no espaço universitário e possibilita o exercício de experiências didáticas aos bolsistas.   PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Padu.  Extensão. Inclusão.     ABSTRACT The objective of this work is to show the accomplishment of the Padu in the Campus Arraias. Padu Arraias / 2018 activities started on April 2nd and ended on November 30th, 2018. As for the methodology used in the preparatory classes for university admission, teachers carry out the planning based on the competences and skills for the proposed major areas by ENEM. To this end, they support specific teaching material, as well as exercise books, simulated and also classes with professionals in specific areas. It is in this context, that students of the various courses of the Campus of Arraias develop extension actions of pedagogical accompaniment to the future academics of the university.

Separation and purification of curcumin using novel aqueous two-phase micellar systems composed of amphiphilic copolymer and cholinium ionic liquids

Novel aqueous two-phase micellar systems (ATPMS) composed of Pluronic F68, a triblock amphiphilic copolymer, and cholinium-based ionic liquids (ILs) were formulated and applied for separation/purification of curcumin (CCM). CCM stability in the presence of ATPMS components was also evaluated. CCM is stable up to 24 h in copolymer (1.0 10.0 wt%) and ILs (0.1 3.0 M) aqueous solutions. Very mild phase separation conditions (close to room temperature) were achieved by adding cholinium ILs to the Pluronic F68 + McIlvaine buffer at pH 6.0 solution. The decrease of cloud-point temperature is dependent on the relative hydrophobicity of IL anion, [Hex] > [But] > [Prop] > [Ac] > Cl. ATPMS composed of more hydrophobic ILs ([Ch][Hex] > [Ch][But] > [Ch][Prop]) are most efficient in the partition of commercial CCM into polymeric micelles-rich phase. The best ATPMS (0.70 M [Ch][But] and 0.60 M [Ch][Hex]-based ATPMS) were then used to purify CCM from a crude extract of Curcuma longa L. Both systems were very selective to separate CCM from protein-based contaminants (selectivity values 25; purification yields 12-fold). Pluronic F68-based ATPMS are promising for selective separation of hydrophobic biomolecules by using cholinium-based ILs as adjuvants to adjust phase separation temperatures and biomolecules partition.This study was funded by the Coordination for Higher Level Graduate Improvements (CAPES/Brazil, finance code 001), National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq/Brazil) and the State of São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP/Brazil, processes #2014/16424-7, #2017/10789-1, #2018/10799-0, #2018/05111-9; #2019/05624-9, and #2019/08549-8).

The impact of carotid revascularization on cognitive function

The concept that carotid disease may compromise cognitive function was initially proposed by Fisher in 1951, based on an autopsy case. However, some topics involving cognitive function remain controversial, such as its correlation with carotid obstructive disease. So, the authors of this review evaluate the impact of carotid revascularization on cognitive function and the repercussions of the revascularization technique (carotid stenting vs. endarterectomy) chosen. It was clear from the literature reviewed that carotid stenosis is related to a decline in cognitive function over time. However, controversy still remains over the impact of carotid revascularization on cognitive function. With elation to the technique employed (carotid stenting vs. endarterectomy), the majority of studies found no difference between the two techniques in terms of overall cognitive outcome

Idiopathic popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm: emergency diagnosis and treatment

Pseudoaneurysms or false aneurysms of the popliteal artery are uncommon arterial disorders. These disorders most commonly result from trauma and iatrogenic lesions following orthopedic procedures. The authors report a rare case of popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm in which etiology was unknown. The authors also demonstrate that Doppler ultrasonography may be sufficient for planning vascular surgical procedures and that the open surgical approach is the treatment of choice for cases in which the symptomatic lesion causes local compression

Revisão narrativa sobre a gestão da informação e informática no SUS

Os sistemas de informação são ferramentas essenciais na busca pela qualidade, eficiência e bons resultados nas organizações, em especial no setor saúde, que durante muito tempo esteve apoiado em sistemas obsoletos que desfavoreciam o setor. Neste contexto, o estudo propõe através de uma Revisão Integrativa de Literatura, descrever e analisar as referências bibliográficas acerca dos sistemas de informação do SUS e sua importância para a gestão dos serviços de saúde. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que na maioria das observações concretizadas, encontra-se com maior ênfase o funcionamento e importância dos sistemas, além de problemas que vão desde o mau funcionamento dos softwares até a falta de capacitação de pessoal. A premência de aperfeiçoamento dos sistemas tem sido frequentemente abordada nos estudos. Conclui-se que o destaque dos sistemas de informação nos mais diversos setores e organizações, principalmente na esfera da saúde é de extrema importância, uma vez que a tecnologia atua de modo a dinamizar o atendimento, conhecer os diversos perfis de usuários, além de reduzir gastos. A tecnologia de informação através dos Sistemas de informação em saúde vem sendo desenvolvida em prol da sociedade como também, facilitar a tomada de decisão dos gestores, sendo fundamental a compreensão acerca da sua importância.
