Segurança em trabalho em altura em manutenções em condomínios verticais – prédios de múltiplos pavimentos

Muitos condomínios verticais – Prédios de múltiplos pavimentos realizam a manutenção predial contratando empresas e ou autônomos sem a preocupação quanto à segurança dos trabalhadores, descumprindo muitas vezes a parcialidade/totalidade das Normas Regulamentadoras do Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego no desenvolvimento de atividades de manutenção, como por exemplo nos “trabalho em altura”. Com isso propõe-se através deste artigo primeiramente analisar através de amostragem4 o percentual de condomínios que tem muita, pouca ou nenhuma preocupação em contratar empresas/autônomos que executam as atividades utilizando-se técnicas adequadas no que concerne à segurança no desenvolvimento das atividades pelos seus colaboradores. Em um segundo momento será apresentado uma Lista de Verificações - “checklist” - para liberação por parte do Condomínio as atividades de manutenção de edificação com trabalhos em altura, para tornar que este tipo de atividade seja desenvolvida com segurança, evitando com isso a possibilidade de ocorrência de acidentes bem como de indenizações a serem pagas pelo Condomínio em virtude de responsabilidade solidária. O objetivo do “checklist” é para tornar as atividades de trabalho em altura mais seguras, com atendimento aos principais aspectos da Norma Regulamentadora 35, evitando assim a maioria dos acidentes observados no desenvolvimento deste tipo de atividade.Many vertical condominiums – Multi-storey buildings carry out building maintenance contracting companies and self-employed workers without the concern for worker safety failing to comply often bias/wholeness of the Regulatory Rules of the Ministry of Labor and Employment in the development of maintenance activities such as “work at heights”. With this it is proposed through this article first analyze through sampling5 the percentage of condominiums that has much, little or no concern about hiring companies/self-employed who carry out the activities using appropriate techniques with regard to safety in the development of activities by its employees. In a second moment a “checklist” for liberation by the Condominium of the activities of maintenance of building with works in height, to make this type of activity developed safely, avoiding this the possibility of accidents occurring as well as indemnities to be paid by the Condominium due to joint liability. The purpose of the “check list” is to make working height activities safer, with attendance to the main aspects of Regulatory Norm 35, thus avoiding most of the accidents observed in the development of this type of activity

Lesser Snow Geese, Chen caerulescens caerulescens, and Ross's Geese, Chen rossii, of Jenny Lind Island, Nunavut

We surveyed the Lesser Snow (Chen caerulescens caerulescens) and Ross’s geese (Chen rossii) of Jenny Lind Island, Nunavut, using aerial photography in June 1988, 1998, and 2006, and a visual helicopter transect survey in July 1990. The estimated number of nesting geese was 39 154 ± SE 2238 in 1988, 19 253 ± 2323 in 1998, and 21 572 ± 1898 in 2006. In 1988 an estimated 2.7% of the nesting geese were Ross’s. The July 1990 population of adult-plumaged birds was 25 020 ± 3114. The estimated percentage blue morph among Snow and Ross’s geese was 19.0% in 1988, 25.1% in 1989, 23.0% in 1990 and 21.1% in 2006. Estimated pre-fledged Snow Goose productivity was 47% young in 1989 and 46% in 1990. Combined numbers of Snow and Ross’s geese on Jenny Lind Island grew over 250 fold, from 210 adults in 1962-1966 to 54 100 adults in 1985. Numbers subsequently declined, to 42 200 in 1988, 25 000 in 1990, 20 300 in 1998, and 26 400 in 2006. Population decline between 1985 and 1990 was consistent with anecdotal reports by others that die-offs of Snow Geese occurred in 1984, 1985 and 1989, and with our August 1989 fieldwork which found evidence of habitat degradation and malnourishment of young geese. In spite of limited food resources on Jenny Lind Island, the colony continued to exist in 2006 at near its 1990 and 1998 levels. Further studies there could provide insights for management of the overabundant mid-continent Snow Goose population and its arctic habitats

Association between trochanteric bursitis, osteoarthrosis and total hip arthroplasty

AbstractObjectivethis was an epidemiological study on trochanteric bursitis at the time of performing total hip arthroplasty.Methodssixty-two sequential patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty due to osteoarthrosis, without any previous history of trochanteric bursitis, were evaluated. The bursas were collected and evaluated histologically.Resultsthere were 35 female patients (56.5%) and 27 male patients (43.5%), with a mean age of 65 years (±11). Trochanteric bursitis was conformed histologically in nine patients (14.5%), of whom six were female (66.7%) and three were male (33.3%).Conclusions14.5% of the bursas analyzed presented inflammation at the time that the primary total hip arthroplasty due to osteoarthrosis was performed, and the majority of the cases of bursitis were detected in female patients

Do patients lose weight after total hip arthroplasty?

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the effect of total hip arthroplasty (THA) on body mass index (BMI), from before to after the operation.Methods100 patients who underwent THA were retrospectively analyzed. They were stratified according to BMI, as proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO).ResultsThere were 48 male patients and 52 female patients. Their mean age was 63.8±13.5 years. The mean follow-up was 24.6±0.6 months. The men had a mean preoperative BMI of 28.4±3.6kg/m2 and the women, 27.5±5.0kg/m2. The mean postoperative BMI was 28.9±0.7kg/m2 for the men and 27.8±0.7kg/m2 for the women. There was a general mean increase in BMI of 0.4kg/m2. The BMI increased both in patients with normal weight and in those who were overweight, but it decreased slightly in patients who were obese. BMI remained unchanged in the majority of the patients (73%).ConclusionThe improvement in mobility achieved through THA did not promote any reduction in anthropometric measurements in the majority of the patients
