    Objective: to characterize the patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) in the use of vasoactive drugs (VAD). Method: a retrospective study with a quantitative approach. The sample is comprised by 85 patients admitted to the ICU of a municipal hospital, in Fortaleza, CearĂĄ. Data collection was conducted in March and April 2011 through consultation of the nursing report. Results: prevalence of female patients (55,3%), with age average of 70 years. The most common diagnosis was stroke (29,4%), followed by lung disease (23,5%). It is noteworthy that 89,4% required invasive mechanical ventilation, 98,9% used a nasogastric tube and 92,9% an urinary catheter, 92,9% used central venous access and 90.6% had antibiotic treatments. Regarding blood pressure, only 4,9% showed normal readings; noradrenaline was the most used VAD (67,1%), followed by dopamine (35.3%). Regarding evolution, 64,7% patients died. Conclusion: the patient in severe condition shows specificities in care that require particular knowledge of the nursing staff, in order to achieve a quality assistance

    The search for yeast with proteolytic activity that can be explored in technology and product innovation was the objective of this study to isolate and identify strains present in liquid whey and evaluate the proteolytic activity of isolates. From the isolated strains were selected for molecular identification, those with proteolytic activity. Verification of proteolytic activity was performed on milk agar and visualized by a translucent halo. Four strains belonging to two yeast species were identified as protease producers. Whey is promising in microbial sources of biotechnological interest and C. parapsilosis (ES01) and R. mucilaginosa (ES04) strains were good protease producers in commercial agar-like milk agar. These results indicate the proteolytic potentiality of strains isolated from whey.Fil: Monte, Aline Marques. Universidade Federal Do Piaui.; BrasilFil: Matos da Silva, Ana Karoline.

    O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a qualidade microbiolĂłgica de castanhas industrializadas e das castanhas artesanalmente processadas, comercializadas por ambulantes em Teresina (PI). Foram coletadas 40 amostras de castanhas, sendo 21 amostras de castanhas industrializadas de trĂȘs marcas (“A”, “B” e “C”) e 19 amostras de castanhas processadas artesanalmente (“D”), nas quais foram realizadas a determinação de coliformes a 35 °C e a 45 °C (NMP/g), a pesquisa de Salmonella spp. e a contagem de fungos. As amostras da marca “D” apresentaram maiores valores de coliformes a 35 °C (1,16 × 101 NMP/g); para coliformes a 45 °C, foram detectados valores de 7,0 NMP/g, e de 1,22 × 102 UFC/g para fungos e leveduras. Nas amostras da marca “A”, os valores para coliformes a 35 °C e 45 °C foram de 4,0 NMP/g e, para fungos e leveduras, de 1,0 × 102 UFC/g. Foram isoladas 43 cepas fĂșngicas. Do gĂȘnero Aspergillus, houve maior prevalĂȘncia da espĂ©cie Aspergillus niger agregados (64,7%), e as espĂ©cies P. corylophillum (33,3%) e P. citrinum (29,2%) do gĂȘnero Penicillium. As amostras de castanhas industrializadas e processadas artesanalmente apresentaram condiçÔes higiĂȘnico-sanitĂĄrias satisfatĂłrias e de acordo com a legislação vigente.This study evaluated the microbiological quality of industrialized and handmade cashew nuts sold by street sellers in Teresina, PI. Forty samples of cashew nuts were collected, being 21 samples of industrialized products from three brands (“A”, “B” and “C”) and 19 samples of handmade nuts (“D”), which were analyzed on coliforms enumeration at 35 °C and 45°C (MPN/g), Salmonella spp. isolation, and fungi and yeasts counting. Samples of brand “D” showed the highest coliforms counting at 35 °C (1.16 × 101 MPN/g);values of 7.0 MPN/g were found for coliforms at 45 °C, and of 1.22 × 102 CFU/g for fungi and yeasts. In the brand “A” samples, values of 4.0 MPN/g for coliforms at 35 °C and 45 °C, and of 1.0 × 102 CFU/g for fungi and yeasts were detected. Forty-three fungi strains were isolated. The mostly prevalent specieswerethe aggregated Aspergillus niger (64.7%), P. corylophillum (33.3%) and P. citrinum (29.2%). The samples of industrialized cashew nuts and the handmade nuts showed satisfactory hygienic and sanitary conditions in compliance with the legislation in force.Fil: Dourado Rodrigues, Aline Maria.

    Carolina: a General Corpus of Contemporary Brazilian Portuguese with Provenance, Typology and Versioning Information

    Full text link
    This paper presents the first publicly available version of the Carolina Corpus and discusses its future directions. Carolina is a large open corpus of Brazilian Portuguese texts under construction using web-as-corpus methodology enhanced with provenance, typology, versioning, and text integrality. The corpus aims at being used both as a reliable source for research in Linguistics and as an important resource for Computer Science research on language models, contributing towards removing Portuguese from the set of low-resource languages. Here we present the construction of the corpus methodology, comparing it with other existing methodologies, as well as the corpus current state: Carolina's first public version has 653,322,577653,322,577 tokens, distributed over 77 broad types. Each text is annotated with several different metadata categories in its header, which we developed using TEI annotation standards. We also present ongoing derivative works and invite NLP researchers to contribute with their own.Comment: 14 pages, 3 figures, 1 appendi

    ABSTRACT. Fialho R.C.J., Calvet R.M., Pereira M.M.G., Costa A.P.R., Monte A.M., Santos Y.F.M. & Muratori M.C.S. [The occurrence of Enterobacteria in marine shrimp farming systems in the coast of Piaui, Brazil.] OcorrĂȘncia de enterobactĂ©rias em sistemas de carcinicultura marinha do litoral do PiauĂ­, Brasil. Revista Brasileira de Medicina VeterinĂĄria, 36(1):60-64, 2014. Departamento de Morfofisiologia VeterinĂĄria, Centro de CiĂȘncias AgrĂĄrias, Universidade Federal do PiauĂ­, Campus de Socopo, Teresina, PI 64039-550, Brasil. E-mail: [email protected] The objective this work we evaluated the sanitary-hygienic conditions of the production system used in different farms of shrimp culture from the coast PiauĂ­. The identification of Salmonella spp., the enumeration of coliforms at 37Âș C and Escherichia coli in water samples, shrimp and ration, were evaluated. The results for coliform at 37ÂșC and E. coli in the water samples of different stages of cultivation were similar regardless the location of sampling. Salmonella spp. was isolated in two water and shrimp samples from the farm “B”. These results indicated that this production system lead to presence of pathogenic enterobacterias. Coliforms nor Salmonella spp. were not detected in the ration samples. The amount of coliform at 35ÂșC and at 45ÂșC demonstrated that the nurseries are in good sanitary-hygienic conditions. The productive management used by the operators shrimp of PiauĂ­ is similar in all stages of cultivating and the environment are contaminated with coliform and E. coli in shrimps and water. The management system used in the shrimp culture favors the presence of Salmonella sp. in shrimps and waters of the nurseries, but does not favor the increasing of coliform and E. coli in the effluent. The ration used in crops are not a source of contamination of nurseries by coliform and E. coli

    The aim of this study was to assess the impact of sewage discharge on coastal waters by evaluating the influence of physicochemical parameters on the presence of enteric microorganisms in seawater samples collected from 11 beaches in Florianopolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil, over a one-year period (August 2009 to July 2010). Samples were assessed for the presence of human adenoviruses (HAdV), polyomavirus (JCPyV), hepatitis A virus (HAV), and noroviruses (HuNoV GI and GII). Escherichia coli and physicochemical parameters (salinity, temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen) were also evaluated. From the 132 samples analyzed, 55% were positive for HAdV, 51.5% for HAV, 7.5% for HuNoV GI, 4.5% for HuNoV GII, and 3% for JCPyV. E. coli levels ranged from 8 to 1325 CFU/100 mL at all sites. The overall results highlight the problem of sewage discharge into coastal waters and confirm that there is no correlation between viral presence and bacterial contamination
