Aspectos do desenvolvimento motor e da qualidade de vida no contexto da obesidade infantil

Introduction: Child development is a period of progressive and complex transformations related to growth, maturation, learning, motor skills, and psychosocial issues. Objective: Analyze the influence of obesity on the aspects of motor development and quality of life of children aged three to eight years, and and their mothers’ levels of anxiety and depression. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive and quantitative approach study with children enrolled and attended at a pediatric endocrinology in Fortaleza, CE, in the period between June and November 2017. The study sample consisted of 24 children from three to eight years of age. We used the anthropometric quantification, the Motor Development Scale, and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL™) for children. We applied the Beck anxiety and depression questionnaires for mothers. Results: 16 were female, and 17 were severely obese. Most of the sample showed motor development changes 42,85% classified as “inferior” in the obesity category, and 41.17% in the severely obese category. Both groups revealed”complete right-handed” and “undefined” laterality in around 40% of the individuals. The quality of life had a low mean score. The majority of mothers from both groups presented minimal anxiety and depression. Conclusions: Obesity interferes negatively with the overall motor development, determination of laterality, and quality of life of children, perceiving more severe levels of anxiety and depression in mothers of children severely obesity.Introdução: O desenvolvimento infantil é um período de progressivas e complexas transformações relacionadas ao crescimento, maturação, aprendizagem, habilidades motoras e questões psicossociais. Objetivo: Analisar o desempenho das habilidades motoras em crianças obesas, analisar a qualidade de vida das mesmas e os níveis de ansiedade e depressão de suas mães. Método: Pesquisa transversal, descritiva, comparativa e de abordagem quantitativa com crianças atendidas em um ambulatório de endocrinologia pediátrica localizada no município de Fortaleza – CE, entre junho e novembro de 2017. A amostra foi composta por 24 crianças, de 3 a 8 anos de idade. Foi realizada a quantificação antropométrica, aplicação da Escala de Desenvolvimento Motor, do Questionário Pediátrico sobre Qualidade de Vida das crianças (Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory – PedsQL™) e dos questionários de ansiedade e depressão de Beck com as mães. Resultados: 16 eram do sexo feminino e 17 obesos graves. Obteve-se alteração no desenvolvimento motor em quase 100% da amostra, com uma classificação quanto ao nível motor como “inferior” em 42,85% no grupo de obesos e 41,17% no grupo de obesos graves. Houve um predomínio da lateralidade “destro completo” e “indefinida” em ambos os grupos com pouco mais de 40% da amostra. Quanto a qualidade de vida foi observada uma baixa média de escores; estando as mães classificadas, em sua maioria, nos dois grupos, com presença de ansiedade e depressão mínimas. Conclusão: A obesidade interfere negativamente no desenvolvimento motor global, determinação da lateralidade e qualidade de vida das crianças, percebendo-se níveis mais graves de ansiedade e depressão nas mães de crianças com obesidade grave

Qualidade da madeira acetilada de Eucalyptus urophylla x Eucalyptus grandis

Objetivou-se com este estudo avaliar as propriedades tecnológicas da madeira de Eucalyptus urophylla x Eucalpyptus grandis submetida ao processo de modificação química por acetilação. Para tanto, foram confeccionadas amostras de madeira com dimensões de 2 x 2 x 1 cm, as quais foram submetidas ao tratamento de acetilação, por imersão em anidrido acético, durante 3 e 6 h com temperatura de 75 ºC. A eficiência da modificação química foi avaliada por meio da determinação de propriedades da madeira acetilada e controle (não tratada): massa específica aparente, absorção em água, inchamento volumétrico, dureza Rockwell e resistência ao ataque de cupins. A acetilação da madeira proporcionou aumento da estabilidade dimensional, resistência biológica e mecânica, quando comparadas às amostras não tratadas. Por outro lado, não foi verificada alteração na massa específica aparente, em condições anidras, das madeiras acetiladas e controle

Pesque‑solte: pesca repetitiva, variáveis hematológicas e parasitismo no peixe híbrido tambacu

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a resposta hematológica e parasitológica de tambacus (Colossoma macropomum x Piaractus mesopotamicus) submetidos ao estresse de captura e a diferentes densidades de estocagem, em sistema de pesque‑solte. Foram utilizados 210 peixes com peso médio inicial de 785,33±152,02 g e comprimento total médio de 34,43±2,21 cm, mantidos em viveiros escavados e divididos em três grupos: sem pesca e baixa densidade (G1), com pesca e baixa densidade (G2), e com pesca e alta densidade (G3). Não houve diferença significativa entre os valores médios da concentração de hemoglobina, do número de eritrócitos, da contagem diferencial de leucócitos e da glicose. Os peixes do grupo G3 apresentaram número maior de parasitos e trombócitos, e menor ganho de peso e hematócrito. A atividade de pesque‑solte, aliada à alta densidade de estocagem, pode prejudicar o equilíbrio orgânico e o desempenho zootécnico, o que favorece a parasitose.The objective of this work was to evaluate the hematological and parasitological responses of tambacu (Colossoma macropomum x Piaractus mesopotamicus) subjected to catch‑and‑release stress and to different stocking densities in a catch‑and‑release system. Two hundred and ten fish with mean initial weight of 785.33±152.02 g and mean total length of 34.43±2.21 cm were maintained in ponds and divided into three groups: without fishing and low density (G1), with fishing and low density (G2), and with fishing and high density (G3). No significant differences were observed between the mean values for hemoglobin concentration, erythrocyte number, differential counting of leukocytes, and glucose. The fish from the G3 group showed higher parasite and thrombocyte numbers, and lower weight gain and hematocrit. The activity of catch‑and‑release, associated with high stocking density, can disrupt organic balance and animal performance, favoring parasitosis

Elemental composition of vegetables cultivated over coal-mining waste

We assessed elemental composition of the liver in mice subjected to one-time or chronic consumption of the juice of vegetables cultivated in a vegetable garden built over deposits of coal waste. Lactuca sativa L. (lettuce), Beta vulgaris L. (beet), Brassica oleracea L. var. italica (broccoli) and Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala (kale) were collected from the coal-mining area and from a certified organic farm (control). Elemental composition was analyzed by particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) method. Concentrations of Mg, S, and Ca of mice subjected to one-time consumption of broccoli and concentrations of these same elements plus Si of mice receiving kale were higher in the coal-mining area. Concentrations of P, K, and Cu were increase after chronic consumption of lettuce from the coal-mining area, whereas the levels of Si, P, K, Fe, and Zn were higher in the group consuming kale from the coal-mining area. Our data suggests that people consuming vegetables grown over coal wastes may ingest significant amounts of chemical elements that pose a risk to health, since these plants contain both essential and toxic metals in a wide range of concentrations, which can do more harm than good

USE OF ATHEROGENIC INDICES AS ASSESSMENT METHODS FOR CLINICAL ATHEROSCLEROTIC DISEASES

Accurate assessment of clinical atherosclerotic diseases is essential to guide effective therapeutic interventions, and atherogenic indices have emerged as valuable methods in this setting. The complexity of these pathologies demands approaches that go beyond the simple measurement of total cholesterol, requiring tools that consider the interaction between different lipoproteins and other risk factors. In this context, the use of atherogenic indices appears as a promising approach, providing a more comprehensive and refined assessment of atherosclerotic conditions. Objective: To comprehensively analyze scientific studies published in the last 10 years that investigated the use of atherogenic indices as methods of evaluating clinical atherosclerotic diseases. The review seeks to consolidate the available evidence by examining the effectiveness of these indices in early identification, risk stratification and monitoring the progress of atherosclerotic diseases. Methodology: The systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. The PubMed, Scielo and Web of Science databases were consulted to identify relevant studies published in the last 10 years. The descriptors used were "atherogenic indices", "atherosclerotic diseases", "clinical assessment", "lipoproteins" and "cardiovascular risk factors". Inclusion criteria considered original studies that investigated the use of atherogenic indices in clinical populations, while exclusion criteria involved studies with unrepresentative samples and inadequate atherosclerotic assessment methods. Results: The results of the review highlight the diversity of available atherogenic indices and their usefulness in evaluating different aspects of atherosclerotic diseases, including prediction of cardiovascular events, risk stratification and treatment monitoring. The analysis identified indices that proved to be particularly sensitive and specific in different clinical contexts. Conclusion: In summary, the systematic review highlights the relevance of atherogenic indices as valuable tools in the assessment of clinical atherosclerotic diseases. The diversity of these indices and their ability to provide comprehensive information highlights their importance in clinical practice, contributing to a more refined and personalized approach to the management of these conditions.Accurate assessment of clinical atherosclerotic diseases is essential to guide effective therapeutic interventions, and atherogenic indices have emerged as valuable methods in this setting.
