Verificação dos níveis de aptidão física de crianças com idade entre 6 e 9 anos

Anais do II Seminário Seminário Estadual PIBID do Paraná: tecendo saberes / organizado por Dulcyene Maria Ribeiro e Catarina Costa Fernandes — Foz do Iguaçu: Unioeste; Unila, 2014Neste trabalho mensurou-se a estatura, massa e a aptidão cardiovascular de 112 crianças, entre 6 e 9 anos de idade, em ambos os gêneros. Todas elas são alunas da Escola Municipal Nossa Senhora de Fátima, da cidade de Palmas/PR e estão em turmas onde acadêmicos do Curso de Educação Física, do IFPR – Campus Palmas atuam como apoiadores pelo PIBID. Classificou-se 76,77% com estado nutricional normal, 1,79% com baixo peso e 21,42% com sobrepeso e obesos. Na avaliação pelo I.M.C. encontrou-se 9,82% em zona de risco, o que remete a necessidade de ações imediatas nas aulas de Educação Física. Na aptidão cardiovascular encontrou-se somente 9,82% em condição de risco, que mostra que são crianças bem ativas fisicamente e que deve-se mantê-las assim para prevenir problemas com a saúd

Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii Infection in Dogs in Tehran, Iran

Background: Toxoplasma gondii infects a wide range of animals; felines are definitive hosts and other animals including the dogs are intermediate hosts. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of T. gondii infection in dogs in Tehran, capital of Iran and to investigate possi­ble associated risk factors.Methods: Three hundreds ninety six serum samples were collected during 2007-8 from the dogs. Col­lected samples were tested using an indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) in dilutions of 1:16 and more. All procedures were carried out in Shahrekord University, Iran. All the data were analyzed using SPSS software, qui square test with confidence interval of 0.95.Results: From evaluated samples, 89 (22.47%) were positive in titers of at least 1:16. further evalua­tions in other dilutions showed positive results in dilutions of maximum 1:16 , 1:32, 1:64, 1:128 and 1:256 in 38, 29, 15, 2 and 5 dogs respectively. Investigation of the role of risk factors showed no sex predisposition while infection rate was significantly higher in dogs older than one year old. Living places were of significant importance; infection rate was significantly higher in stray or guard dogs in compare with household dogs (P<0.05). Conclusion: Relatively high seroprevalence of T. gondii infection in dogs in Tehran shows high environmental contamination. It is recommended that the dogs with suspected clinical signs be tested for T. gondii infection

PROSPERO at one year: an evaluation of its utility

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>PROSPERO, an international prospective register of systematic review protocols in health and social care, was launched in February 2011. After one year of operation we describe access and use, explore user experience and identify areas for future improvement.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>We collated administrative data and web statistics and conducted an online survey of users’ experiences.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>On 21 February 2012, there were 1,076 registered users and 359 registration records published on PROSPERO. The database usage statistics demonstrate the international interest in PROSPERO with high access around the clock and around the world. Based on 232 responses from PROSPERO users (response rate 22%), almost all respondents found joining and navigation was easy or very easy (99%); turn round time was good or excellent (96%); and supporting materials provided were helpful or very helpful (80%). The registration fields were found by 80% to be relevant to their review; 99% rated their overall experience of registering with PROSPERO as good or excellent. Most respondents (81%) had a written protocol before completing the registration form and 19% did not. The majority, 136 (79%), indicated they completed the registration form in 60 minutes or less. Of those who expressed an opinion, 167 (87%) considered the time taken to be about right.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>The first year of PROSPERO has shown that registration of systematic review protocols is feasible and not overly burdensome for those registering their reviews. The evaluation has demonstrated that, on the whole, survey respondents are satisfied and the system allows registration of protocol details in a straightforward and acceptable way. The findings have prompted some changes to improve user experience and identified some issues for future consideration.</p
