Os efeitos da hipoterapia na função motora grossa em crianças com paralisia cerebral: uma revisão bibliográfica

Projeto de Graduação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Licenciada em FisioterapiaObjetivo: Determinar os efeitos da hipoterapia na função motora em crianças com paralisia cerebral. Metodologia: Pesquisa computadorizada realizada nas bases de dados PubMed, PEDro, Web of Science Core Collection e CINAHL Plus with Full Text, foi efetuada usando a combinação de palavras-chave: (hippotherapy) AND (cerebral palsy) AND (motor function), de acordo com guias de PRISMA. Apenas estudos randomizados controlados foram incluídos no estudo. Os estudos foram analisados usando a Physiotherapy Evidence Database Scoring Scale (PEDro). Resultados: Nesta revisão foram incluídos 3 artigos que cumpriram os critérios de elegibilidade, com um total de 219 participantes, e com média aritmética de 6/10 na escala de PEDro. Verificou-se que a hipoterapia promoveu de forma significativa a função motora grossa, o equilíbrio, o controlo postural e o dia-a-dia em crianças com paralisia cerebral. Conclusão: Os estudos incluídos nesta revisão sugerem que a hipoterapia melhora a função motora, devendo ser considerada como opção terapêutica nesta condição clínica.Objective: To determine the effects of hippotherapy in the motor function in children with cerebral palsy. Methodology: Computerized research conducted in the databases PubMed, PEDro, Web of Science Core Collection and CINAHL Plus with Full Text, was performed using the combination of keywords: (hippotherapy) AND (cerebral palsy) AND (motor function), according to PRISMA guides. Only randomized controlled trials were included in the study. The studies were analysed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database Scoring Scale (PEDro). Results: This review included 3 articles that met the eligibility criteria, with a total of 219 participants, and with an arithmetic mean of 6/10 on the PEDro scale. It was found that hippotherapy significantly promoted the gross motor function, balance, postural control and the daily life in children’s with cerebral palsy. Conclusion: The studies included in this review suggest that hippotherapy improves gross motor, and should be considered as a therapeutic option in the treatment of this clinical condition.N/

Psychosocial rehabilitation according to drug consumers' perspective

Objective: To reveal the perception on psychosocial rehabilitation by users from a Psychosocial Care Center for Alcohol and other Drugs. Method: This is a phenomenological study, based on Maurice Merleau-Ponty's approach, developed with nine members of a Caps ad from a municipality of Bahia. The experiential descriptions were produced by the Focus Group technique in the Caps ad and later, for clarity, submitted to the technique of Analytical Ambiguity. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee, under protocol No. 111/2011. Results: It was evident that drug users recognize psychosocial rehabilitation as a relevant strategy for the process of social reintegration. Conclusion: This strategy should be valued by health professionals keeping in mind the enhancing the esteem and the potential of drug users

Nível de serviço do transporte público urbano coletivo em Brasília / Level of service of collective urban public transport in Brasília

Por muitos motivos, pesquisadores no Brasil e no mundo se empenham em desenvolver estudos para melhorar a qualidade do sistema de transporte urbano público coletivo de ônibus. Brasília vem enfrentando grandes desafios, pois a frota parece não estar adequada a demanda. Os usuários preferem usar o próprio veículo para ir ao local de destino por ter mais conforto e rapidez. Porém, isso está causando congestionamentos em vias que possuem grande circulação de veículos. Neste contexto, será realizada uma pesquisa com a população para compreender a respeito do serviço prestado pelas empresas de transporte público de ônibus. Desta forma, será possível apontar fatores que forneçam melhorias na qualidade dotransporte. 

Radiographic Evaluation of Root Canal Treatment Performed by Undergraduate Students, Part I; Iatrogenic Errors

Introduction: The root canal preparation is an important stage in the undergraduate teaching and must be handled with care. Iatrogenic mishaps may occur during this procedure which might compromise the success of endodontic treatment. The aim of this study was to determine, the frequency of iatrogenic errors in endodontic treatments provided by undergraduate dental students at the School of Dentistry of Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES), Brazil. Methods and Materials: Radiographic records of 511 anterior teeth and pre-molars with endodontic treatment performed by undergraduate students, between 2012 and 2014 were randomly chosen. The final sample consisted of radiographic records of 397 teeth endodontically treated and were evaluated by using the projection of radiographic images. Iatrogenic errors that were detected in root filled teeth included: apical perforation, root perforation, furcation perforation, strip perforation, presence of fractured instruments, ledge and zip. Then they were classified, according to the absence or presence of iatrogenic errors, as adequate or inadequate. Results: According to the results, 7.3% of the teeth were inadequate, and there was no statistically significant difference among the groups of anterior teeth, incisors, or canines (P>0.05). A ledge was present in 6.54% of root canals, a zip in 0.75% of root canals, and only one root canal presented a fractured instrument. In teeth with moderate curvature, the root curvature was a factor that possibly influenced the occurrence of the ledge (P<0.05). Conclusion: The majority of root canal preparations showed a low occurrence of iatrogenic errors.Keywords: Dental Student; Endodontics; Errors; Iatrogenic; Radiography; Root Canal Therap

Breastfeeding in primary care: do the mothers perform this practice? / Amamentação na atenção básica: as mães realizam essa prática?

Objetivo: identificar como as mães que residem nas áreas de cobertura de duas estratégias de saúde da família de um município do sul de Minas Gerais realizaram a amamentação. Método: estudo transversal, com abordagem quantitativa de natureza descritiva e retrospectivo. Resultados: participaram do estudo 120 nutrizes. Observa-se que são jovens (71% de 20 a 25 anos), com boa escolaridade (67% ensino médio completo), tiveram a primeira gestação na juventude (66% entre 15 e 19 anos), e a maioria possui dois filhos (44%). Dos nascimentos 90% tiveram um filho e 10% tiveram gêmeos. Constatou-se a prevalência de partos cesáreos (66%). O aleitamento teve início no alojamento conjunto (60%); e o misto foi predominante (73%), destacando-se essa prática para os filhos anteriores (88%). Conclusão: a prática da amamentação está associada à cultura familiar e não há valorização da amamentação exclusiva

In Vitro Antimicrobial Studies of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles Comprising Anionic Ciprofloxacin Ionic Liquids and Organic Salts

The combination of active pharmaceutical ingredients in the form of ionic liquids or organic salts (API-OSILs) with mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as drug carriers can provide a useful tool in enhancing the capabilities of current antibiotics, especially against resistant strains of bacteria. In this publication, the preparation of a set of three nanomaterials based on the modification of a MSN surface with cholinium ([MSN-Chol][Cip]), 1-methylimidazolium ([MSN-1-MiM][Cip]) and 3-picolinium ([MSN-3-Pic][Cip]) ionic liquids coupled with anionic ciprofloxacin have been reported. All ionic liquids and functionalized nanomaterials were prepared through sustainable protocols, using microwave-assisted heating as an alternative to conventional methods. All materials were characterized through FTIR, solution 1H NMR, elemental analysis, XRD and nitrogen adsorption at 77 K. The prepared materials showed no in vitro cytotoxicity in fibroblasts viability assays. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for all materials was tested against Gram-negative K. pneumoniae and Gram-positive Enterococcus spp., both with resistant and sensitive strains. All sets of nanomaterials containing the anionic antibiotic outperformed free ciprofloxacin against resistant and sensitive forms of K. pneumoniae, with the prominent case of [MSN-Chol][Cip] suggesting a tenfold decrease in the MIC against sensitive strains. Against resistant K. pneumoniae, a five-fold decrease in the MIC was observed for all sets of nanomaterials compared with neutral ciprofloxacin. Against Enterococcus spp., only [MSN-1-MiM][Cip] was able to demonstrate a slight improvement over the free antibiotic.FCT/MCTES, Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia and Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Ensino Superio
