JOGOS ADAPTADOS: EXPERIÊNCIAS NA ESCOLA DE EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA PROFESSORA LUIZA SANTIN – CHAPECÓ, SC

Com o crescente número de alunos com deficiência frequentando as escolas, surge a necessidade de se criarem métodos de inclusão, bem como aulas inclusivas, com jogos e brincadeiras adaptados, nos quais possa haver a participação e interação de todos, sem que haja nenhum tipo de discriminação. Com este estudo, teve-se como objetivo criar e inserir os jogos adaptados no ambiente escolar, dos quais os alunos com e sem deficiências possam participar de maneira igual, e verificar a influência destes no desenvolvimento social, com a participação de crianças na faixa etária dos 6 aos 9 anos.  A população deste estudo compreendeu 60 crianças que frequentam as aulas do ensino fundamental da Escola de Educação Básica Professora Luiza Santin em Chapecó, SC. Como instrumento de pesquisa, foi utilizado um questionário contendo perguntas abertas e fechadas, além do diário de campo construído pela acadêmica bolsista. Os dados foram analisados a partir da análise de conteúdo. Ressalta-se que os objetivos estabelecidos para as atividades físicas ou esportivas para deficiência, sendo esta física, mental, auditiva ou individual, devem respeitar as limitações e potencialidades individuais do aluno, adequando as atividades propostas a esses fatores. Com a inserção dos jogos adaptados no ambiente escolar, os alunos deficientes demonstraram mais interesse em participar e interagir com todos, resultando em avanços no desenvolvimento social. Conclui-se que a inserção dos jogos adaptados estimula a socialização e reduz a discriminação, melhorando a relação entre alunos e professores e proporcionando aulas inclusivas das quais todos participam.Palavras-chave: Educação Física.

CD1a+and CD83+Langerhans cells are reduced in lower lip squamous cell carcinoma

BACKGROUND : Actinic cheilitis (AC) is a potentially malignant lesion diagnosed in the lip of patients chronically exposed to the sun that may give rise to a fully invasive lower lip squamous cell carcinoma (LLSCC). It is known that ultraviolet radiation causes dendritic cells (DCs) depletion in the epidermis, but the role of this cellular population in lip cancer progression remains uncertain. Therefore, this study investigated the distribution of DCs in normal, dysplastic and neoplastic tissues of the lower lip. METHODS : Thirteen cases of lower lip mucocele, 42 of ACs and 21 of LLSCC were retrieved and original diagnoses confirmed by two oral pathologists, who further classified ACs as low- and high-risk lesions. Immunoreactions against CD1a and CD83 identified immature and mature DCs, respectively. RESULTS : Immature CD1a+ Langerhans cells (LCs) were significantly decreased in LLSCC when compared to morphologically normal (P 0.05), but ACs demonstrated a lower concentration of CD1a+ LCs than normal epithelium (P 0.05). CONCLUSION : These results suggest that depletion of epithelial LCs, but not IDCs in the connective tissue, would represent an important step for lip cancer development.http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/(ISSN)1600-07142017-07-31hb2016Oral Pathology and Oral Biolog

Comparação da força de preensão manual e potência muscular em idosos da zona rural e urbana / Comparison of manual grip strength and muscle power in rural and urban elderly

O envelhecimento provoca mudanças fisiológicas no sistema neuromuscular, favorecendo redução da funcionalidade funcional no idoso. Esse fato pode contribuir para diminuição da qualidade de vida e mortalidade precoce. O estilo de vida e o habitat podem ser fatores contributivos para esses desfechos. O objetivo da pesquisa foi de analisar comparativamente a força de preensão manual e a potência muscular entre idosos da zona rural e urbana. Trata-se de uma pesquisa transversal realizado com 84 idosos. Os participantes foram avaliados quanto a antropometria, mensuração da força de preensão manual (FPM) e potência muscular através do teste de sentar e levantar. Dos 84 idosos que participaram da pesquisa a média de idade foi 69,29 anos para os indivíduos da zona rural (n=41) e 70,53 anos da zona urbana (n=43). Em relação a potência muscular as mulheres da zona urbana alcançaram 14,28 ± 0,37s e as mulheres da zona rural (18,12 ± 1,03s) com relevância estatisticamente significativa (p= 0,002). As mulheres que residem na zona rural apresentaram uma potência muscular superior a das idosas residentes na zona urbana

Effects of n-3 fatty acids and exercise on oxidative stress parameters in type 2 diabetic : a randomized clinical trial

Background: The relationship between diabetes and oxidative stress has been previously reported. Exercise represents a useful non-pharmacological strategy for the treatment in type 2 diabetic (T2DM) patients, but high intensity exercise can induce a transient inflammatory state and increase oxidative stress. Nutritional strategies that may contribute to the reduction of oxidative stress induced by acute exercise are necessary. The aim of this study was to examine if n-3 PUFA supplementation intervention can attenuate the inflammatory response and oxidative stress associated with high intensity exercise in this population. As a primary outcome, lipoperoxidation measurements (TBARS and F2-isoprostanes) were selected. Methods: Thirty T2DM patients, without chronic complications, were randomly allocated into two groups: placebo (gelatin capsules) or n-3 PUFA (capsules containing 180 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid and 120 mg of docosahexaenoic acid). Blood samples were collected fasting before and after 8 weeks supplementation. In the beginning and at the end of protocol, an acute exercise was performed (treadmill), and new blood samples were collected before and immediately after the exercise for measurements of oxidative stress and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). Results: After the supplementation period, a decrease in triglycerides levels was observed only in n-3 PUFA supplementation group (mean difference and 95% CI of 0.002 (0.000–0.004), p = 0.005). Supplementation also significantly reduced TRAP levels after exercise (mean difference and 95% CI to 9641 (− 20,068–39,351) for − 33,884 (− 56,976 - -10,793), p = 0.004, Cohen’s d effect size = 1.12), but no significant difference was observed in n-3 PUFA supplementation group in lipoperoxidation parameters as TBARS (mean difference and 95% CI to − 3.8 (− 10–2.4) for − 2.9 (− 1.6–7.4) or F2-isoprostanes (mean difference and 95% CI -0.05 (− 0.19–0.10) for − 0.02 (− 0.19–0.16), p > 0.05 for both. Conclusion: PUFA n-3 supplementation reduced triglycerides as well as TRAP levels after exercise, without a significant effect on inflammatory and oxidative stress markers. This study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov with the registration number of NCT03182712

In situ short-term responses of Amazonian understory plants to elevated CO₂

The response of plants to increasing atmospheric CO2 depends on the ecological context where the plants are found. Several experiments with elevated CO2 (eCO2) have been done worldwide, but the Amazonian forest understory has been neglected. As the central Amazon is limited by light and phosphorus, understanding how understory responds to eCO2 is important for foreseeing how the forest will function in the future. In the understory of a natural forest in the Central Amazon, we installed four open-top chambers as control replicates and another four under eCO2 (+250 ppm above ambient levels). Under eCO2, we observed increases in carbon assimilation rate (67%), maximum electron transport rate (19%), quantum yield (56%), and water use efficiency (78%). We also detected an increase in leaf area (51%) and stem diameter increment (65%). Central Amazon understory responded positively to eCO2 by increasing their ability to capture and use light and the extra primary productivity was allocated to supporting more leaf and conducting tissues. The increment in leaf area while maintaining transpiration rates suggests that the understory will increase its contribution to evapotranspiration. Therefore, this forest might be less resistant in the future to extreme drought, as no reduction in transpiration rates were detected.</p

[Covid-19 in the Northeast of Brazil: from lockdown to the relaxation of social distancing measures].

Even in the period when the Covid-19 pandemic was on the rise in the Northeast of Brazil, the relaxation of social distancing measures was introduced. The scope of the study is to assess, in the light of the epidemiological-sanitary situation in the region, the suitability of relaxation of social distancing measures. Based on the WHO guidelines for relaxation of social distancing, operational indicators were created and analyzed for each guideline in the context of the Northeast. To analyze the behavior of the epidemic, according to selected indicators, Joinpoint trend analysis techniques, heat maps, rate ratios and time trends between capitals and the state interior were compared. The weekly growth peak of the epidemic occurred in May-July 2020 (epidemiological weeks 19 to 31). In most capitals, there was no simultaneous downward trend in the number of cases and deaths in the 14 days prior to flexibilization. In all states the number of tests performed was insufficient. In epidemiological week 24, the state percentages of ICU/Covid-19 bed occupancy were close to or above 70%. The epidemiological situation of the nine Northeastern state capitals analyzed here did not meet criteria and parameters recommended by the World Health Organization for the relaxation of social distancing measures
