Epidemiologia de lesões em jovens atletas de futebol das categorias sub-17 e 20 de um clube profissional de futebol do Rio de Janeiro

Resumo. O objetivo do estudo foi estimar aspectos epidemiológicos das lesões em jovens atletas das categorias sub-17 e 20 de futebol. Estudo epidemiológico com acesso ao banco de dados de um clube de futebol, categorias sub-17 e sub-20, quanto às lesões em 2016, dados: posição do atleta, tipos de lesões, locais das lesões, quantidade de lesões, dia de afastamento, meses de afastamento, dia de retorno, meses de retorno, lado e classificação das lesões, dados coletados pela equipe científica, usando a ficha de anotação de lesões da FIFA. Os dados foram analisados na linguagem de programação Python 2.7, na interface gráfica Spyder 3.3.1, com o uso do programa gráfico Anaconda. Houve maior ocorrência para o grau moderado e maior incidência de lesões na quarta-feira e sexta-feira para o dia da liberação. As maiores incidências de lesões foram nos meses de maio e outubro e de liberação março e outubro. A principal lesão foi entorse de tornozelo seguida pela mialgia de adutores. Há destaque para lesão de coxa para defensores e atacantes. A maioria das lesões para todas as posições foram unilaterais. O lado direito do corpo teve maior quantidade de lesões no pé e, em seguida, na coxa, exatamente o oposto do lado esquerdo, onde a maior quantidade de lesões foi antebraço e depois no pé. Com os resultados do presente estudo, pode-se concluir que os jovens atletas das categorias sub-17 e sub-20 tendem a ter lesões moderadas, com incidência principal no tornozelo e mialgias na coxa.
 Abstract. The purpose of the study was to estimate epidemiological aspects of injuries in young athletes in the under 17 and 20 soccer categories. Epidemiological study with access to the database of a football club, categories U-17 and U-20 regarding injuries in 2016, data: athlete’s position, types of injuries, injury locations, number of injuries, day off, months of leave, return day, return months, side of the weights and classification of injuries, data collected by the scientific team, using the FIFA injury record sheet. The data were analyzed in the Python 2.7 programming language, in the Spyder 3.3.1 graphical interface, using the Anaconda graphics program. There was a higher occurrence for the moderate degree and a higher incidence of injuries on Wednesday and Friday for the day of release. The highest incidence of injuries were in the months of May and October and release in March and October. The main injury was ankle sprain followed by adductor myalgia. Thigh injury is highlighted for defenders and attackers. Most injuries for all positions were unilateral. The right side of the body had the greatest number of injuries to the foot and then to the thigh, exactly the opposite of the left side where the greatest amount of injuries was to the forearm and then to the foot. With the results of the present study, it can be concluded that young athletes in the U-17 and U-20 categories tend to have moderate injuries, with a major incidence in the ankle and myalgia in the thigh.

Prevalence of endoparasites in captive snakes of Kerala, India

The objective of the study was to evaluate the status of parasitic infections in captive snakes of Kerala. Faecal samples were collected from captive snakes of State Museums and Zoos of Thrissur and Thiruvananthapuram. Parasites were screened by direct smear, sedimentation, simple floatation and Shaether’s sugar floatation method. Fortynine snakes from 15 species were screened and 35 (71.4%) were found to be positive. While 80% of the snakes from Thrissur were found to be positive for parasitic infections, 70.6% of the samples from Thiruvananthapuram zoo were positive. Strongyloides sp. was the most prominent infection, accounting for 25.7% of all infections, followed by Capillaria sp. (22.8%) and Strongyles (20%). The preliminary investigation of captive Green Anaconda samples from Thiruvananthapuram zoo revealed mites, non-sporulated Coccidia of the genus Eimeria sp. and Cryptosporidium sp. It is understood that most of the infections of the captive snakes were acquired through the feeding and handling of the snakes, therefore periodical sampling is needed for both the snakes and their prey.

Anaesthetic conserving device AnaConDa®: dead space effect and significance for lung protective ventilation

The anaesthetic conserving device AnaConDa (ACD) reflects exhaled anaesthetic agents thereby facilitating the use of inhaled anaesthetic agents outside operating theatres. Expired CO₂ is, however, also reflected causing a dead space effect in excess of the ACD internal volume. CO₂ reflection from the ACD is attenuated by humidity. This study tests the hypothesis that sevoflurane further attenuates reflection of CO₂. An analysis of clinical implications of our findings was performed. Twelve postoperative patients received mechanical ventilation using a conventional heat and moisture exchanger (HME, internal volume 50 ml) and an ACD (100 ml), the latter with or without administration of sevoflurane. The ACD was also studied with a test lung at high sevoflurane concentrations. Reflection of CO₂ and dead space effects were evaluated with the single-breath test for CO2. Sevoflurane reduced but did not abolish CO₂ reflection. In patients, the mean dead space effect with 0.8% sevoflurane was 88 ml larger using the ACD compared with the HME (P<0.001), of which 38 ml was due to CO₂ reflection. Our calculations show that with the use of the ACD, normocapnia cannot be achieved with tidal volume <6 ml kg(-1) even when respiratory rate is increased. An ACD causes a dead space effect larger than its internal volume due to reflection of CO₂, which is attenuated but not abolished by sevoflurane administration. CO₂ reflection from the ACD limits its use with low tidal volume ventilation, such as with lung protection ventilation strategies. Clinical Trials NCT01699802.

Studies on Anacondas III. A Reappraisal of Eunectes beniensis Dirksen, 2002, from Bolivia, and a Key to the Species of the Genus Eunectes Wagler, 1830 (Serpentes: Boidae)

Eunectes beniensis Dirksen, 2002 is a recently discovered anaconda species from Beni Province, Bolivia. Based on morphological and molecular genetic evidence, E. beniensis is closer related to E. notaeus and E. deschauenseei than to E. murinus . The phylogenetic relationships within Eunectes are currently best described as: E. murinus [ E. beniensis ( E. deschauenseei , E. notaeus )]. E. beniensis is easily recognizable by its brown to olive-brownish ground color in combination with five head stripes and less than 100 large dark, solid dorsal blotches which always lack lighter centers. An identification key for the species of Eunectes is provided.
