Perfil clínico de crianças com indicação da cirurgia das tonsilas em um hospital terciário universitário

The indications for adenotonsillectomy in pediatric patients have changed considerably during the 90th decade. Local or systemic complications of the adenoid or tonsil hypertrophy itself have now been substituted by signs of obstructive ventilatory disturbances, including obstructive sleep apnea as the major indications for surgery. Objective: This study analyses the clinical profile of children submitted to adenotonsilectomy in their pre and postoperative state, at Botucatu Medical School-State University São Paulo, UNESP. Methods: 332 children of both genders, aged 1 to 12 years, who underwent adenotonsillectomy between 1999 and 2004, were studied, focused on epidemiological profile, pre and postoperative (1 month) symptoms, obtained from medical records. Height and weight were compared to brazilian normal age related values. Results: We found a predominance of the male gender, except in he group aged from 10 to 12 years. Considering wheight and height, we found important failure to thrive, mostly for height deficit. Among clinical aspects, we found a significant reduction in obstructive symptoms like snoring or apneia (p<0001) in the postoperative period. Conclusion: Our results were similar to the literature findings of patients clinical profile. The major indication for adenotonsillectomy in our service was clinical diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea.

Conhecimento sobre saúde bucal e práticas desenvolvidas por professores do ensino fundamental e médio

Introduction: The oral health education is a process that aims to transform attitudes and behaviors and to form habits for the benefit of individual health. For this to occur, it is necessary to strengthen and continuous repetition, as possible in the school environment. Objective: To analyze teachers’ knowledge about oral health, practices developed in the school environment, as well as the participation of dentists in guiding teachers of primary and secondary schools. Subjects and method: We used a semi-structured questionnaire with open and closed questions about teacher training, received guidance on oral health during their training, development of oral health issues in the classroom and knowledge on the subject . Results: Of the total respondents (n = 221), only 77 (34.8%) said they had guidance on oral health in their training to be a teacher. 70 (31.7%) said they did not develop oral health issues in the classroom and 91 (41.2%) stated no interaction between dentist and professor. We observed deficiency in teachers’ knowledge about certain issues related to dental health. There was statistically significant association between the dentist’s guidance to teachers and the development of oral health actions and the teacher’s knowledge about the location of the first permanent molar eruption (p <0.01). Conclusion: This study conclude that although most educators develop educational practices on oral health in the school environment, there is a deficiency in understanding by teachers of certain subjects, making it necessary a greater participation of the dentist in the transmission of technical and scientific knowledge to them.

Auditoria em Saúde: justificativas de glosas no setor odontológico

Objective – To collecting data about the main explanations for glosses and demonstrating the percentage of production loss in the odontologic procedures. Methods – It is about an epidemiological study of historical series, retrospective and quantitative, based on the data collection of DATASUS information system and reports realized by the city of Aquidauana/MS audit system from 2001 to 2010. Results – The results show that in this period, 921.300 odontologic procedures were presented as production; being 223.226 (24,2%) individual procedures and 698.074 (75,8%) collective. There were 23.881 (2,6%) glosses, being 10.158 (42,5%) in the collective procedures and 13.723 (57,5%) in the individual ones. The main cause for glosses related to individual procedures was the repetition of procedures for the same patient and the same tooth (42,4%). In the collective activities, it was the non-accomplishment of the oral health collective program (68,9%). There was an increase of loss in the individual procedures going from less than 5% in the period of 2001 to 2007; to 5,8 % in 2008; 8,9% in 2009 and 14,1 % in 2010 and in the collective procedures the loss reached 4% in 2010. Conclusion – It was concluded that the most frequent cause of glosses explanation was the repetition of procedures for the same patient and the same tooth in the individual cases and the non-accomplishment of the oral health collective program in the collective activities. The importance of the audit system as a trust-worthy instrument for the managers in the planning and evaluation of health actions with the intention of guarantee the solution of the serv-ices provided.

Desempenho de tractores florestais processadores

A time-and-motion study in wood processing of the Eucalyptus harvester's operational cycle was developed. The objective was to evaluate wood harvesters working under several site conditions. The research includes two kinds of harvesters while processing wood to supply paper and cellulose factories, as follows: a machine with twin tires and other one with large tracks, both connected to a different head harvester models. The forestry species were Eucalyptus saligna Smith and Eucalyptus grandis Hill ex Maiden, seven and eight years old, in slope terrains ranging from 0% to 10% degrees, under harvesting systems used by Votorantim and Suzano forestry companies, in São Paulo State, Brazi. Considering all field research, results disclosed that, for some conditions, both machines have shown mathematical correlation between some mechanical wood operation within the processing operational cycle and the saw logs production. All the mathematical correlations were found to express logarithmical models.

Perfil antropométrico e força de membros superiores em competidores de montaria em touros

A força de preensão manual tem sido relatada como determinante no desempenho de empunhadura em modalidades como lutas e escalada. Este estudo teve por propósito avaliar a aptidão de força isotônica máxima e de preensão manual em praticantes e não praticantes de montaria em touros, a fim de obter parâmetros de referência desta população. Foram avaliados 20 sujeitos em dois grupos, sendo 10 classificados como atletas de montaria e 10 não-atletas. A avaliação da força de preensão manual foi realizada em dinamômetro em posição convencional (DP) e específica (DE), com ambas as mãos (D e E). A força isotônica máxima foi determinada pelo teste de uma repetição máxima (1RM) e também foram obtidas medidas de circunferência dos segmentos, bem como a composição corporal por protocolo de dobras cutâneas. Os valores das variáveis foram comparados pelo teste-t (ρ ≤ 0,05) para dados independentes. As relações entre os valores de força e características antropométricas foram traçadas pelo coeficiente de Pearson. Os resultados para AMT em DPD (43.8±6.8 kgf), DPE (39.4±7.7 kgf), DED (44.9±5.6 kgf) e DEE (39.8±8.3 kgf) comparados aos apresentados por n-AMT em DPD (47.0±3.0 kgf), DPE (42.2±6.1 kgf), DED (49.2±1.5 kgf) e DEE (46.2±4.1 kgf) apresentaram diferenças apenas para DED e DEE. A força nos testes de 1RM (supino reto: 73.2±12.0 kg e 82.0±12.0 kg; rosca direta: 45.2±8.9 kg e 43.8±8.9 kg; tríceps pulley: 67.0±6.3 kg e 72.0±6.3 kg; e puxada posterior: 73.5±8.5 kg e 73.7±7.5 kg) não mostram diferenças entre os grupos. A influência sobre a dinamometria apresenta-se diferente entre os grupos, sendo relevante a força de flexão do cotovelo em AMT e a antropometria e força isotônica para n-AMT. Conclui-se que as características morfo-funcionais de membros superiores não demandam especificidade à montaria em touros.

Recepção por demanda de ficção seriada televisiva

O presente trabalho investiga a adequação para a recepção por demanda da estrutura da ficção seriada televisiva, matriz concebida para a veiculação em fluxo dentro da lógica da grade de programação. Centrando no gancho e repetição narrativa, foram realizados estudos de cena em Mckee (2006) e aplicadas as funções das personagens de Propp (1986) no corpus: A Grande Família, Duas Caras e Filhos do Carnaval. Em seguida, simulou-se a sua recepção por demanda e fluxo.

O jogo sob uma investigação psicanalítica

To Freud the group of the psychic activity has for purpose the search of pleasure and escape to the displeasure, and of that drift that the aspects associated to memories of unpleasant experiences have for tendency the removal of level of conscience. The unconscious repeats in subject, in way of being and through where he sees the world. That repetition also shows in practice of game. This study leaned on in analysis of Freudian work to play. Because, independent of sphere in that it is acting, the activity of the game is accomplished, predominantly, under an atmosphere predominantly pleased. The game can propitiate situation so that it happens the sublimation of drive forces, making possible occurrence, in an acceptable way socially, contributing to accomplishment of satisfaction. Like this, this study had as objective contemplates, starting from the reading of passages of Freudian work, on desire and the pleasure to play. For the elaboration of that text pertinent bibliographical revision was accomplished to the game, in relationship with psychoanalysis starting from Freud and other authors.

A iteratividade: do melodrama à narrativa audiovisual sob demanda

The repetition should be understood as the property of mass cultural products, originated from the need to minimize the dispersion of the audience in their enjoyment. Based on this assumption, this paper measures the rate of iteration manifested in the scripts of the following serial fictions: Duas Caras, A Grande Família and House of Cards. Established itself as a method of scene analysis proposed by McKee (2008), questioned whether the lack of classical education of the public and rescued the forms assumed by repeating the melodrama, romance-serial and dramaturgy: asides, monologues, confidences and planar scenes. The proposal was applied in two scripts for each of the aforementioned productions. Considering the data collected, it appears that there was reduction in repeat products offered on demand thanks to the possibility of handling the flow and the attention given receptor.
