Arquimoda: aproximações possíveis entre a criação de moda e a arquitetura do Archigram

Inspired by the designs of the London group Archigram in the 1960s, with its versatile, changeable, flexible, transient and easy to transport architecture, this project promotes a dialogue between its concepts and aesthetics with the creation of fashion. We propose experimentations wearable in fashion productions, from the group's architecture, with dynamic forms and that question the way of dressing and manipulating the vest, thus inviting the user to interact and adapt according to his will, giving the new clothes visualities.Inspirado nos projetos do grupo londrino Archigram, nos anos 1960, com sua arquitetura versátil, mutável, flexível, transitória e de fácil transporte, este projeto promove um diálogo entre seus conceitos e estética com a criação de moda.

COVID-19-related challenges in dental education: experiences from Australia, Brazil, and the USA

Aim: To describe the management of dental education in three dental schools during the COVID-19 crisis. Methods: Adopted strategies in the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), Brazil, University of Pittsburgh (UP), USA, and Griffith University (GU), Australia were detailed. Results: In the UFPB, all on-site teaching was suspended, and resources for distance learning set up as a supplementary semester to be available as face to face classes later. A protocol for clinical care followed safety measures recommended by Brazilian official health institutions. The adequacy of the physical structure, human resources, and personal protective equipment (PPE) acquisition for the return to clinical activities are currently under discussion. In the UP, learning activities were shifted to virtual teaching using lecture recordings and live sections. All elective patients care was postponed. Urgent dental cases were discussed via teledentistry. The physical layout of the dental clinics and pre-clinical laboratories were changed, allowing a safe distance between students. In the GU, all clinical and pre-clinical activities were cancelled, and theoretical activities were maintained online for all students. Several clinically based scenarios where created and delivered in the format of online problem-based learning. The reception area was redesigned, ensuring social distancing. Safety measures follow the Australia Dental Association. Conclusions: Dealing with dental education depends on the stage of the epidemic and the characteristics of each country

Knowledge of university students regarding the use of toxic substances, daily and eating habits with carcinogenic character

The knowledge of university students regarding the use of toxic substances, daily and eating habits with a carcinogenic character was assessed by using a semi-structured questionnaire. In addition, a systematic review was carried out on an electronic basis on the subject. The results revealed that university students know little about the risks and association of high consumption of hyperglycemic foods, omega-6 and red meat, as well as the exposure to BPA and insecticides, despite the fact that most are aware of the harmful effects of excessive use of cell phones and its relation with cancer. Thus, we notice the importance of disseminating preventive information that promotes a change in living and eating habits with carcinogenic character, resulting in self-care and a better quality of life

Extraskeletal Osteosarcoma in the Duodenum of a Dog

Background: Osteosarcoma is the most observed primary bone tumor in dogs, and may affect the appendicular and axial skeletons. In addition, it may be present in extraskeletal form, accounting for only 1% of cases. As shown by few reports in the literature, the involvement of the intestinal region by is rare. The objective of this study was to report the case of a 13-year-old Yorkshire dog, submitted to an exploratory laparotomy for suspected partial intestinal obstruction, diagnosed with extraskeletal osteosarcoma. Case: A 13-year-old dog, Yorkshire Terrier, male, presented clinical signs of gastrointestinal abnormalities. An ultrasound examination was performed and was found a mass in small intestine region with wall and lumen invasion. Then, was realized exploratory laparotomy and detected intestinal obstruction due to a mass with approximately 5.0 x 6.0 x 4.4 cm localized in duodenum. Surgical removal was performed and the sample sent to the veterinary diagnostic laboratory for histopathological examination. The sample had an irregular surface and firm consistency. In addition, when cut, the mass enveloped the intestinal layers and sometimes obstructed the lumen. Then, the sample were processed routinely for histopathology. After that, in microscopy evaluation was detected cell proliferation, affecting all layers of intestine. In detail, cells were elongated with pleomorphism marked and atypical mitosis. In addition, there was production of cartilage and bone matrix. So, sue the absence of others sites, the neoplasm was considered primary of intestine. After that, to evaluate the expression of KI-67 and COX-2 was performed, and the cell proliferation index was 54.0% and the COX-2 expression was moderate in less than 10% of neoplastic cells. After the surgery, the patient was hospitalized for a week and continue the treatment in home. Afterwards, the tutor received the diagnosis, but even though he was instructed on the severity of the case, he chose not to undergo chemotherapy. After three months, the patient presented abdominal fluid and nodules in your liver, suggesting metastasis, but without diagnosis confirmation. The patient died five months after the diagnosis of extraskeletal osteosarcoma. However, no necropsy was realized, impossibility the diagnosis confirm. Discussion: The frequency of extraskeletal osteosarcoma in dogs remains unknown, with the mammary glands being the most affected site. In the present study, osteosarcoma affects the duodenal region and no reports of this neoplasm in the duodenum of dogs have been found in the literature. The clinical sign of dyschezia was important for the tutor to refer the animal to the veterinarian and perform the ultrasound in an attempt to elucidate the case, as the tumor mass is not always palpable. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry were necessary for the differential diagnosis and to establish the prognosis, although after the surgery the tutor chose not to perform chemotherapy. Extraskeletal osteosarcoma are usually highly metastatic, mainly affecting the lymph nodes and liver. In this case, the patient presented a liver nodule three months after the tumor removal surgery, but unfortunately, there was no diagnostic confirmation. Such neoplastic type is rarer and more aggressive than appendicular and axial OS, with an average survival of 1 to 3 months. In this case, as a necropsy was not obtained, we cannot attribute the survival time to the disease. The survival rates of osteosarcomas in dogs are few months, but in the present case, although the patient died five months after surgery, the failure to perform a necropsy compromises the attribution of survival time to extraskeletal osteosarcoma.

Relação da depressão com aspectos sociodemográficos em idosos residentes na zona urbana e rural de Ituiutaba-MG

O processo de envelhecimento acarreta vários fatores que interferem na vida do idoso, os quais podem estar ligados à depressão. O objetivo deste trabalho foianalisar a prevalência de depressão em idosos que vivem na zona urbana e rural do município de Ituiutaba-MG e os aspectos sociodemográficos, econômicos e o arranjo social que interferem no desenvolvimento da doença. Vinte e nove idosos residentes nas zonas rural (n=13) e urbana (n=16) de Ituiutaba-MG foram entrevistados utilizando a Escala de Depressão Geriátrica(versão reduzida), incluindo dados sociodemográficos. A idade média dos entrevistados foi de 68,0anos (DP±7,0), sendo a maioria destes pertencente à faixa etária de 60 a 69 anos (75,9%). A maioria dos entrevistados era homens (69%), aposentados ou pensionistas (72,4%), com renda familiar mensal de 1 a 2 salários (69%), com menos de 4 anos de estudo (51,7%), com companheiro (86,2%), tendo 2 a 3 moradores em sua residência (72,4%), podendo ser somente o companheiro (34,5%) ou o companheiro e filho (34,5%). Dos idosos identificados com depressão, 77,3% compõem a faixa etária de 60 a 69 anos. Os homens (75%) apresentaram maior prevalência em relação às mulheres (66,7%) quanto à depressão leve, porém somente as mulheres revelaram depressão severa (11,1%). A depressão leve foipredominante independente da ocupação, seja aposentado e/ou pensionista (66,7%) ou outra ocupação (85,8%); da renda familiar mensal, de 1 a 2 (80%) e 3 ou mais salários (60%); e do estado civil, com (76%) ou sem (66,7%) companheiro. Para o nível de escolaridade, os longevos que estudaram menos de 4 anos, ou se consideraram analfabetos, funcional ou não, foram identificados na sua maioria com a sintomatologia de grau leve. Observando o local da residência, a depressão foi identificada em 81,3% dos que viviam na cidade e em 69,2% dos que viviam na comunidade rural. Não há dúvida de que a depressão não é caracterizada apenas por uma tristeza profunda e não é causada pelo processo de envelhecimento, mas está relacionada com alterações típicas desta fase da vida, além de aspectos sociodemográficos. Neste presente estudo, a doença depressiva mostrou alta prevalência em idosos de baixa renda e com baixo nível de escolaridade, independentemente do local onde o idoso reside, sendo que 75,9% dos entrevistados foram identificados com depressão utilizando a Escala de Depressão Geriátrica. A depressão é um grave problema social, afeta diretamente a vida do idoso e é uma das principais causas de morte e invalidez no país

Objetivo: Avaliar a polifarmácia e os Medicamentos Potencialmente Inapropriados (MPI) direcionados a idosos assistidos pela Atenção Básica à Saúde (ABS) do Município de Campo Grande/MS, Brasil, a partir dos Critérios de Beers 2015. Método: Estudo quantitativo, realizado no período de dezembro/2015 a agosto/2016 com 150 Idosos atendidos em 5 Unidades de Saúde do Município de Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul. Brasil Resultados: A idade média foi de 70,6 (±7,23). Dos idosos avaliados, 64% (n=96) encontravam-se submetidos à polimedicação. Foi identificado um total de 24 MPI (24,5%), prescritos 168 vezes. Cem idosos (66,7%) apresentaram pelo menos um MPI prescrito (n=57; 38%). Os MPI mais frequentes foram: insulina (n= 39; 23,2%), glibenclamida (n= 38; 22,6%), omeprazol (n= 27; 16,1%), metildopa (n= 13; 7,7%) e amitriptilina (n= 10; 5,9%). Oitenta e um idosos (54%) estavam submetidos à polifarmácia e estavam em uso de pelo menos um MPI. Considerando somente os pacientes que fizeram uso de pelo menos 1 (um) MPI (n= 100, 66,7%), 81% eram polimedicados. Conclusão: Aproximadamente três em cada cinco prescrições para idosos assistidos pela ABS de Campo Grande/MS e avaliados no presente estudo é inapropriada

Correlatos valorativos de crenças em teorias da conspiração

Conspiracy theories can be conceptualized as beliefs that serve to explain behaviors and actions of secret groups or organizations. The present study sought to investigate the relationship between values and conspiracy theories. Participants were 205 undergraduate students (Mage = 21.7, 56.6% female), who responded to the Conspiracy General Beliefs Scale, the Basic Values Survey and demographic questions. Results indicated that conspiracy beliefs are mainly associated with humanitarian or abstract values as represented by excitement, suprapersonal and interactive, but also with promotion values. In conclusion, values can be an important variable to explain the endorsement of beliefs in conspiracy theories, especially those that promote higher openness to experience and social justice; they do not limit to conventional sources and explanations of complex facts. Finally, we also discussed the limitations and potential applications.Keywords: Beliefs, theories, conspiracy, human values.Las teorías de la conspiración pueden ser conceptuadas como creencias que sirven para explicar comportamientos y acciones de grupos u organizaciones secretas. El presente estudio buscó investigar la relación entre valores y teorías de conspiración. Los participantes han sido 205 estudiantes universitarios (Medad = 21.7, 56.6% mujeres), quienes han contestado a la Escala de Creencias Generales Conspiratorias, el Cuestionario de los Valores Básicos y preguntas demográficas. Los resultados han indicado que las creencias conspiratorias se asociaron, principalmente, con los valores humanitarios o abstractos, como representados por aquellos de experimentación, suprapersonales e interactivos, pero también con los valores de realización. Se ha concluido que los valores pueden ser una variable importante con el fin de explicar el endoso de las personas a las creencias en teorías de conspiración, sobre todo valores que promueven una mayor apertura a las experiencias y la justicia social, no limitándose a fuentes y explicaciones convencionales de hechos complejos. Finalmente, se discuten las limitaciones y las aplicaciones potenciales.Palabras clave: creencias, teorías, conspiración, valores humanos. As teorias da conspiração podem ser conceituadas como crenças que servem para explicar comportamentos e ações de grupos ou organizações secretas.
