EPIDEMIOLOGIA DA ESCOLIOSE PEDIÁTRICA EM HOSPITAL TERCIÁRIO EM RECIFE-PE

ABSTRACT Objective: The present study aims to outline the epidemiological parameters of patients with scoliosis between the ages of 0 and 18 years old, who were evaluated at the Getúlio Vargas Hospital in Recife-PE. Methods: The participants completed a demographic questionnaire, followed by clinical evaluation, including Cobb angle measurement, clinical photographic registration and quality of life questionnaires. Results: The sample consisted of 103 patients, mostly females, with a mean age of 13.86 years, from the interior of the state, diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis classified as Lenke 1. Neuromuscular and congenital scoliosis were less common. The quality-of-life questionnaire showed a significant difference in self-image perception among patients with idiopathic scoliosis, those who had a curve measuring under 50 degrees had better scores than those who had greater angles. Patients with larger curves scored lower on all questionnaire items, but there was no significant difference when compared to the other group. Conclusion: It was shown that the main epidemiological parameters in the pediatric population with scoliosis are girls, mean age 13 years, coming from the interior of the state being idiopathic scoliosis, the most common, classified as Lenke 1. Neuromuscular scoliosis was the main type of deformity following the idiopathic; cerebral palsy being the most common etiology.

Study of the elemental composition of a series of virland fruits Viburnum Opulus L.

Viburnum fruits are a well-known and popular means of folk and scientific medicine. It is used as a vitamin, immunostimulating, diuretic, hypotensive agent. There is information about the use of viburnum fruit processing products in the food industry. Today, there is no drug based on this raw material in our country. A systematic study of the composition of the mineral compounds of viburnum fruits from different harvesting locations in Ukraine was not conducted. This is especially relevant because the significant content of organic acids to a certain extent determines the presence of a number of cations.
 The purpose of the work is to determine the elemental composition of the series of common domestic medicinal plant raw materials – Viburnum fruits, harvested in Ukraine.
 In the results of the research conducted by the method of atomic absorption spectrography with photographic registration of the results, it was found that in total at least 19 macro-, micro- and ultra-microelements were found in the raw materials. The content of total ash in series of viburnum fruits was determined. It ranged from 0.120 ± 0.005% (series 1) to 0.326 ± 0.010% (series 6). The following regularity is observed for the accumulation of macroelements in raw materials: for all studied series of raw materials, potassium and calcium dominated in terms of content (K > Ca). Significant data variability is observed for the remaining macronutrients. So, for the fruits of series 1 and 5, the following variant is defined – P > Mg > Na > Si, series 2 – Mg > Na > P, Si, series 3 – Mg > Na, P > Si, series 4 – Mg > P > Si > Na, series 6 – Na > Mg > P > Si.
 The results of the study show that the potassium content ranges from 986.28 ± 9.27 mg/100 g (series 5) to one and a half times higher – 1451.38 ± 15.34 mg/100 g (series 5). In addition to potassium, the studied series contain large amounts of calcium – its content fluctuates more than twice, in the range: 302.29 ± 3.20 mg/100 g (series 2) – 661.30 ± 3.14 mg/100 g ( series 4). In addition to potassium and calcium, a fairly high content of magnesium was found – its content ranges from 79.22 ± 0.96 mg/100 g (series 5) to 107.95 ± 1.27 mg/100 g (series 6).
 The highest content of phosphorus was determined in viburnum fruits of ordinary series 1 – 125.56 ± 1.59 mg/100 g, in the rest of the raw materials this indicator is 1.3–8 times lower, the lowest in fruits of series 2 – 15.80 ± 0,30 mg/100 g. The highest sodium content was determined in the raw materials of series 6 – 144.81 ± 1.84 mg/100 g. At that time, Viburnum fruits of series 2 contained almost five times less of this element (30.92 ± 0.61 mg/100 g). The fruits of series 6 are the leader in the accumulation of silicon compared to the rest of the studied series (where the content of this element can be five times lower) and contain 74.01 ± 0.87 mg/100 g of this compound.
 A significant content of potassium (at least 980 mg/100 g), calcium (at least 300 mg/100 g), and magnesium (at least 75 mg/100 g), which play an important role in the functioning of the human body, confirms the perspective of taking into account the elemental of the pharmaceutical composition in the creation of original medicinal products.

Aim. To study the elemental and amino acid composition of Cetraria islandica (L.) Ach. thalli batches harvested in Ukraine.Materials and methods. Seven batches of C. islandica thalli harvested in different regions of Ukraine in late summer/early fall 2019 were used for the study. The elemental composition of the raw material was studied by atomic absorption spectrometry with photographic registration. The component composition of free and bound amino acids in the raw material was determined by the HPLC method. Results and discussion. The presence of at least 19 macro-, trace and ultra-trace elements was determined in 7 batches of the raw material. The predominance of the following elements was found: potassium 190 mg/100 g (batch 6) – 325 mg/100 g (batch 7); silicon 30 mg/100 g (batch 1) – 115 mg/100 g (batch 4); calcium 37 mg/100 g (batch 6) – 86 mg/100 g (batch 4). It was determined that the quantitative content of molybdenum and cobalt did not exceed 0.03 mg/100 g, the content of cadmium, astatine and mercury did not exceed 0.01 mg/100 g. The quantitative content of lead met the requirements of the monograph of the State Pharmacopoeia of Ukraine (SPhU) 2.0. The total ash content in the batches of the raw material ranged from 0.61 ± 0.02 % to 1.43 ± 0.05 %, meeting the requirements of the monograph of the SPhU 2.0. The presence of 7 amino acids was determined; 5 of them were nonessential (aspartic and glutamic acids, serine, arginine, and alanine) and 2 were essential (threonine and valine). The quantitative content of the total amount of free amino acids was 0.794 μg mg-1, the total amount of bound ones was 3.276 μg mg-1.Conclusions. For the first time, the elemental composition of 7 batches of C. islandica thalli harvested in Ukraine was determined. In each batch, potassium was the predominant element (from 190 mg/100 g to 325 mg/100 g depending on the batch). The component composition of free and bound nonessential and essential amino acids was determined (the quantitative content of the total amount of free amino acids was 0.794 μg mg-1, the total amount of bound ones was 3.276 μg mg-1); alanine (0.289 μg mg-1) was the dominant component among free amino acids, while arginine (0.993 μg mg-1) prevailed among bound ones. The results obtained will be used for further studies of the raw material of C. islandica harvested in Ukraine.

Prospective analysis of clinical evolution in chronic urticaria: Persistence, remission, recurrence, and pruritus alone

BackgroundPopulation and study's methodology heterogenicity became clinical evolution of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) highly variable. ObjectiveIn a prospective cohort, we evaluated the different pathways of clinical evolution of CSU and identified possible risk factors. MethodsA total of 685 CSU patients (>12 years) were prospectively followed over 5 years. Diagnosis and follow-up of urticaria were based on medical evaluation and photographic records. Remission was defined as at least 6 months without symptoms (hives, angioedema, or pruritus) and medication. The follow-up included at least 2 visits per year, with photographic registration and clinical evaluation. Predefined clinical and paraclinical variables were included in the regression analyses. ResultsWe identified four clinical evolution pathways; The cumulative prevalence of remission at 5 years was 59.1%, recurrence was 17.1%, persistence was 11.6%, and chronic pruritus without hives or angioedema was 12.2%. The probability of persistence increased with hypothyroidism diagnosis (HR 0.425, 95% CI 0.290–0.621) and each point in the UAS7 (HR 0.931 95% CI 0.918–0.945). ConclusionChronic urticaria has different evolutions. Disease activity and hypothyroidism predict persistence and remission. Recurrence and chronic pruritus phenotypes require further study to evaluate their causality and prognosis.

Evaluation of knowledge and application towards ergonomic principles among undergraduate dental students

This study evaluated the knowledge and application of ergonomic principles as well as manifestation of pain by dental students at the Federal University of Maranhão. Forty-four students answered a questionnaire on ergonomic principles. Photographs of the clinical rounds were performed to evaluate the postures adopted, without the students knowing the moment of photographic registration, avoiding that they modified their posture. The relationship between theoretical knowledge and the applicability of ergonomics in dental setting was evaluated. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The Chi-square test analyzed the distribution of categorical variables among the evaluation instruments (α = 5%). Most of the participants adopted a satisfactory posture and presented knowledge about ergonomic postures, however, one can observe the poor positioning of the eyes and spine. 75% of the patients experienced pain in the body, being the spine (61.4%) and neck (40.9%) the most affected sites. The sample evaluated had good knowledge on ergonomic principles, but these were not adopted entirety, which may have led to the onset of pain.

The Complexity of Social and Cultural Dynamics in Emerging of Collective Spaces in Unplanned Urbanisation: Learning from Mlalakuwa-Dar es Salaam

The growth of African cities encountered movement of people from countryside to capital cities searching for employment opportunities. In the city of Dar es Salaam the job market has not grown enough to keep up population increase. The increasing urban population boosted the basic needs and the demand for land for various activities, posed daunting challenges for attaining liveable neighbourhoods. At the same time many of informal settlements are dynamic part of the city in physical, economic, social and cultural terms. Different programs from international organizations illustrate how sustainable urbanization can be a key contributor to poverty reduction to better quality of life. This research is based on literature reviews, documentary analysis, photographic registration and qualitative survey of the Mlalakuwa neighbourhood to provide a better understanding of the role of proactive cultural differences and social dynamics in promoting the spreading of spaces in informal settlements in the urban fabric, beyond the primarily necessary housing conditions. Researchers emphasize the importance of collective spaces for urbanisation, in social and economic terms as an important asset for quality of life and the construction of a sustainable and resilient community. The aim of this paper was to examine how social, and cultural factors cause the dynamics set up in physical collective spaces in a particular informal neighbourhood of Dar es Salaam city. The examination of human activities including social, cultural and economic functions respond to formation of spatial organisation of collective spaces at Mlalakuwa informal settlement. Notably, the paper illustrates that, the urban planning network can take on significant benefits when considering cultural and social diversity as a factor that could change the whole concept of urban planning. The incentives for diverse in cultural, social and economic activities in collective spaces are vital to sustainable informal settlements because they play a major role in improving the liability of collective spaces in unplanned neighbourhoods.

Households Livelihood Coping Strategies in the Urban Informal Settlements the Case of Mlalakuwa Dar-es-Salaam Tanzania

This paper explores various households livelihood coping strategies in the urban informal settlement of Mlalakuwa in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania. It employed a case study method in the urban informal settlement of Mlalakuwa. Multiple data collection tools were employed, in which semi-structured interviews with key informants, field observations, sketches, mapping and photographic registration, were used in collecting primary data through household survey, while literature review, was used in collecting secondary data. Descriptive statistical and content analysis were employed in data analysis.The paper revealed that; households in the study are involved in a lot of livelihood activities, such as urban agriculture and livestock keeping (i.e. pigs, chicken and cow), as well as trading these goods in the market, shop keeping, selling pharmaceutical, monetary services (banks, and mobile money), brewing of local drink, running female and male hair dressing saloons as well as selling their products, vehicle and motor cycles repairing, milling machines, taxi-running and driving, motor cycles-running and driving, mobile shoe shining and mending, food processing and vending, food product street hawking, fish and meat butchery, selling fuel wood and charcoal, tailoring and cloth retailing, carpentry, welding and metal working, bricks and pavement material making, building materials retailing, oil and gas trading, etc. drawn by combining both tangible and intangible assets, as a strategy in coping with life stress and shocks. It argues that the informal economy plays a crucial role not only for the lower income earners, but also the middle and higher income earners, with everyone depending on one another, in different livelihood activities. Living together in one area, the three income earning groups, involves themselves in agricultural (farm) and non-agricultural (non-farm), monetary (economics) or non-monetary (non-economics), livelihood activities which all ernes them capital, as coping strategy against life stress and shocks. The paper concludes that; the households in the Mlalakuwa urban informal settlement, survives by combining various assets as a livelihood coping and recovery strategies based on their indigenous strategies and knowledge, so as to recover from daily life stress and shocks.

Contextualizing a Maya Collection from Alta Verapaz, Guatemala, at the University of Ghent, Belgium

The aim of the present study is to contextualize a collection of Maya artifacts that have been kept for 125 years at the University of Ghent, in Belgium. The objects came from one of the first archaeological excavations carried out in Guatemala, between 1880 and 1900. The collection includes 130 pottery pieces, 64 jadeite pieces, 24 stone objects (serpentine, silex, and other stones), and 52 obsidian pieces. The study started in 2016, with the identification and location of the provenance site, which was visited in 2017. The phases of documentation and photographic registration of the objects were completed in 2019. It is the intention to digitize the collection and make it available to scholars for further research. This report presents a brief description of the site, Chich’en, and analyzes aspects of its geographical environment, as well as the historical and religious context that determined its relevance from the Classic period to the Late Postclassic and the early colonial period. A selection of the objects is presented, and outstanding iconographic elements are analyzed. The analysis is based on a bibliography review in the fields of archaeology, history, and ethnology in the Maya region and in Mesoamerica in general. It is extraordinary to find an extensive collection of Maya archaeological artifacts in the reserves of a university museum, and a privilege to study them. These artifacts hold a wealth of information about the archaeological site Chich’en, where they were excavated 126 years ago. They enlighten the role of this site in the history of Verapaz (ancient Tezulutlán), strategically situated between the Northern Highlands and the Lowlands of Guatemala. Little is known about the history of this region. We are fortunate to lean on the research carried out by countless scholars in various disciplines to guide us in our search for answers to the many questions. Making this collection accessible for collaborative study should ensure that this cultural heritage will not remain silent nor stay forgotten.

Polylactic acid films implantation into the anterior chamber of eye in vivo

The purpose of this research is the study of the influence of thin polylactic acid films implantation on the corneal morphology in vivo experiment. Studies were performed on 8 pubescent female Sylvilagus bachmani rabbits. Polylactic acid films were implanted into the anterior chamber of one animal eye. The feedstock for the films was obtained by dissolving polylactic acid in the chloroform. Before the implantation PLA films were sterilized. The overall duration of the in vivo experiment comprised 21 days. Such methods as visual check, photographic registration, non-contact ocular tonometry and optical coherent tomography of cornea were also used in course of the experiment. Sampling was performed on day 21 after the start of the experiment for morphology studying. Results showed that the implantation of the PLA films into the anterior chamber of eye does not induce an inflammatory reaction and does not increase an intraocular pressure. The study showed the possibility of PLA films using as a corneal implant.

Facies analysis and paleosol characterization of Urucuia group in the Sao Domingos - GO region

The Sanfranciscana basin is a wide intracratonic basin sub-divided in Abaeté sub-basin and Urucuia sub-basin which includes four Groups of Neo Paleozoic to Neo Cretaceous ages, among them there is the target of this study, the Urucuia Group (Upper Cretaceous). The Urucuia Group has the largest rock volume and areal distribution of the basin. Its rocks constitute two Formations, the basal named Posse overlaid by Serra das Araras Formation. In a continental environment where there is a few fossil contents, the paleosol study can bring important information about climatic and geomorphologic conditions, and biological activity being possible to do an environmental reconstruction. Therefore, this project aims to elaborate a paleoenvironmental model to the Upper Cretaceous of the Sanfraciscana basin through facies analysis and paleosol characterization. The fieldwork was accomplished in the outcrops of the Urucuia Group situated near to São Domingo (GO) town. Outcrop descriptions, photographic registration, and sample collection to laboratory analysis were the methodology applied. The outcrop description was made by the identification of lithologies, textures, sedimentary structures, paleocurrents, fossil content, bed geometry, as well as paleosol macromorphologic description.

Qualitative characteristics of the results of experimental studies of initiation and combustion of mechanically activated mixtures of aluminum and copper oxide powders

We present new experimental results on the initiation and the combustion velocity of mechanically activated compositions based on micron aluminum and copper oxide powders mixtures at a relative density of 40–60%. The initiation of combustion were produced by electric-spark method with a power input of 1.5–6.0 mJ during the 1.2 µs. Diagnosis was performed by means of the photographic registration process in cylindrical glass tubes with a diameter of 3.5–8.5 mm. Depending on the initiation energy, dose of activation and the tube diameter combustion rate is estimated in the range 30–90 m/s, and the induction period 20–2200 µs. Spread of combustion is characterized as a consecutive chain of microexplosions in contact points of reagents.

Role of carboxytherapy in localized lipolysis: a clinical and radiological study

Background Localized obesity is a result of accumulation of adipose tissue present in small quantities in specific area. It is an important issue to search for novel noninvasive fat elimination modalities which help in body contouring.Objective To estimate the efficacy as well as safety of subcutaneous injection of CO2 in management of localized fat deposits.Patients and methods This interventional study was conducted on 34 females)22–45years old) having localized fat deposits in abdomen, chin, arm, and thigh. For all history and clinical examination including circumferential tape measurements were done. Digital photographic registration and ultrasound measurements of subcutaneous fat thickness, as well as circumferences of the treated areas before and after eight carboxytherapy sessions (once/week) were performed.Results There were observed improvement in carboxytherapy treated areas (abdomen, chin, arm, and thigh) in all studied subjects indicated by significant decrease in circumferences of abdomen (P<0.0001), arms (P=0.0003), and thighs (P<0.0001), and ultrasound fat thickness measurements in abdomen (P≤0.0001), chin (P=0.012), arms (P=0.0004), and thighs (P<0.0001). This improvement was achieved in arm (P=0.0004) and chin (P=0.012) better than abdomen and thighs. Half of our patients (17, 50%) recorded an excellent degree of satisfaction, the highest satisfaction rate was among patients who had lipolysis in the chin region (P=0.027). Pain (mild and moderate) and ecchymosis were the only observed adverse effects.Conclusion Carboxytherapy may be an effective method that could be used in the management of localized obesity, without remarkable adverse effects. Treatment of localized obesity by CO2 sessions once weekly for 8 weeks has a significantly better outcome in arms and chin than in abdomen and thighs.

Assessment of environmental impact risks arising from the illegal dumping of construction waste in Brazil

The objective of this research is to develop a methodology for assessing environmental risks arising from the construction and demolition waste (CDW), considering some environmental criteria to identify the most critical locations. A field survey was conducted in seven municipalities in Brazil, which involved obtaining the CDW illegal dumping sites, through direct observation and photographic registration in the municipalities studied, for assessing environmental risks arising from the CDW illegal dumping and to identify areas with the highest risk of impacts according to environmental criteria. Each site was classified according to aspects such as distance between the irregular disposal points and water resources, plant cover, subnormal clusters, mean family income, parks and plazas, and health and education equipment. A total of 1252 irregular dumping sites were registered in the study area, distributed among the seven municipalities analyzed. In all municipalities surveyed, high-risk dumping sites were identified, although they do not represent most of the sites. Based on the application of this methodology in other municipalities, it will be possible to calibrate the score according to the social and environmental characteristics of each region, and it can be consolidated as a standard tool for assessing environmental impacts from the illegal CDW dumping.
