In the context of university libraries, the optimization and streamlining of services and processes related to informational content indexing and retrieval are strongly influenced by the indexing policy adopted. This article is aimed at researching the indexing policy elements that are more suitable for medical university libraries. To achieve our objective, we applied three instruments: organizational culture analysis, individual verbal protocol and evaluation of indexing. Results emphasize the importance of developing an indexing policy to improve the processes and services offered by university libraries, as well as the retrieval of information by the user community. More studies are necessary in the medical area involvoving catalogers, experts, users and managers for the development of the indexing manual.

Morbidades e consumo de álcool em pacientes internados na Clínica Médica de um hospital universitário

Abusive consumption of alcohol leads to several negative consequences to health and quality of life, as it increases the frequency of diseases that cause death or functional disabilities. The rates of patients admitted to hospital due to physical problems stemming from alcohol abuse are high. This study aimed at identifying patients according to variables age, gender and education level as well as at evaluating the prevalence of CAGE-positive patients and morbidity due to CID-10 (International Classification of Diseases) by the World Health Organization. It is a cross-sectional, observational, exploratory, descriptive and quantitative study. It was conducted at the Botucatu School of Medicine University Hospital (HC) from July to September 2010, at the Internal Medicine ward. This ward aggregates 5 specialties, namely, Cardiology, Hematology, General Medicine, Nephrology and Gastroclinic. Presently, it has 36 beds, of which four are for Intensive Care Therapy (ICT). Three hundred and ten medical charts were analyzed for identification of morbidities and of variables age, gender and schooling. A closed semistructured questionnaire including, among other questions, the CAGE test was applied to each individual. The CAGE test is a questionnaire that comprises four questions and considers that one who answers two or more of such questions affirmatively is a suspected case of alcoholism. The total population studied included 310 patients. Indexes of 60% (186) male and of 40% (124) female patients were found. As regards age range, a population with a higher prevalence of individuals from 51 to 70 years old (41%) was observed.

Método de pontos interiores no planejamento ótimo do tratamento de câncer por radioterapia

The Medical Physics has been developing very fast due to the progress of the technologies and to the increase of the concerns with cure of diseases. One of the Medical Physics main performances at the present time is the use of ionizing radiations for cancer treatment, especially, services as Radiotherapy. The radiotherapy technique uses ionizing radiation with therapeutic end of cancer controls, avoiding your proliferation and it worsens of the patient. For the treatment a radiation bunch is used, with rectangular form, that it passes through the different types of tissues of the patient's body, and depending on the attenuation and of the depth of the fabrics, a great amount of energy is deposited inside in different points of the body. Like this, to plan this treatment type it should be obtained the dimension of the distribution and dose absorption along the volume. For this, it is necessary in the planning of the treatment of the cancer for radiotherapy to build isodose curves, which are lines that represent points of same amount of dose to be deposited in the area to be treated. To aid the construction of the curves of form isodose to reach the best result in the planning of the treatment, in other words, a great planning, providing the maximum of dose in the tumor and saving the healthy and critical organs, it has been using mathematical tools and computational. A plan of cancer treatment for radiotherapy is considered great when all the parameters that involve the treatment, be them physical or biological, they were investigated and adapted individually for the patient. For that, is considered the type and the location of the tumor, worrying about the elimination of the cancer without damaging the healthy tissue of the treated area, mainly the risk organs, which are in general very sensitive to the radiations. This way, the optimization techniques... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Caracterização morfo-anatômica de beressol [Trimezia juncifolia (Klatt.) Benth]

A Trimezia juncifolia (Iridaceae) é encontrada nas regiões tropicais e subtropicais e possui características muito próximas das plantas do mesmo gênero e família. Ela é utilizada pela população de Botucatu, São Paulo, para a depuração do sangue, para feridas intermitentes e como antiinflamatório. Por possuir interesse econômico primordialmente ornamental, são raros os estudos que a caracteriza, facilitando as complicações que podem ocorrer por trocas de espécies. Por causa disso, este trabalho tem como objetivos descrever a morfologia externa da Trimezia juncifolia, visando a caracterização da droga vegetal, e a anatomia das raízes, bulbo, caule aéreo e escamas do bulbo, visando uma descrição microscópica farmacopeica. A caracterização morfológica da planta foi feita com o auxílio de estereomicroscópio binocular. Para o estudo anatômico de Trimezia juncifolia (beressol), foram selecionados exemplares que contenham raízes, caule subterrâneo, e caule aéreo. Os catafilos, bulbo, raízes e caule aéreo foram divididos em terço apical, médio e basal. Com ênfase no caule subterrâneo, o bulbo e as raízes tiveram as três frações analisadas, e o catafilo, as frações média e basal. Somente o terço médio do caule aéreo foi analisado.O material foi fixado em solução de glutaraldeído e formaldeído. Em seguida o material foi conduzido às etapas de inclusão em resina (metacrilato).

Preparo (calibração e tratamento) de Dosímetros Termoluminescetes de Flureto de Lítio (TLD-LiF)

A Dosímetria Termoluminescente (TLD) é uma ferramenta extremamente versátil para a avaliação da dose absorvida por tecidos humanos, devido à interação dos mesmos com a radiação ionizante. As características termoluminescentes (TL) do fluoreto de lítio (LiF) foram estudadas extensivamente primeiramente por apresentar número atômico muito próximo ao do tecido humano e, portanto, conseguir quantificar com fidelidade a radiação recebida na ordem de μGy (micro Gray) a kGy (kilo Gray) . Foram abordados os princípios físicos envolvido no procedimento de calibração e tratamento dos dosímetros (total de 224 pastilhas), os quais foram separados, após tratamento, em 75 grupos. Este trabalho foi de suma importância na aplicação dos conceitos físicos abordados durante a formação da graduação no curso de Bacharelado em Física Médica, e pode auxiliar em projetos, em andamento, junto ao grupo de pesquisa de Física Aplicada ao Radiodiagnóstico

Programação linear no planejamento do tratamento de câncer por radiocirurgia

Medical Physics has been reaching an important role among several lines in Science, providing means for the improvement of several theories and procedures. Currently, its main application is related with the use of ionizing radiations, specially, in treatment procedures such as Radiotherapy. Radiosurgery is a Radiotherapy technique which consists in administering a single tumoricidal dose of radiation exclusively to the tumorous lesion. It becomes then an interesting alternative to surgical treatment, mainly in cerebral metastases, which are the most frequent cerebral tumors in the central nervous system. The radio neurosurgical team works out a planning for the Radiosurgery treatment, aiming for obtaining an appropriate ideal treatment for each case. For the working out of this treatment planning, Computed Tomography images of the region to be treated are obtained, digitalized and later, fused with nuclear magnetic resonance images. Through these images, critical structures, organs at risk and lesions are localized. After this, calculations are made to determine three-dimensional positions of isocenters, isodose curves, prescribed dose, collimators sizes, position, numbers and respective weight of isocentric conformal fields, and others. The treatment planning is commonly based in desired levels of dose for specific types of tumors and organs at risk concerning the irradiated region. Theses levels of dose are chosen in a way that a high probability of cure may be achieved and meanwhile, that the probability of complications, in whichever organ at risk, may be minimal. Thus, many researches have been carried out, showing that mathematical techniques may help to obtain an optimal planning for the treatment of cerebral metastases. Among the methods of optimization in the study...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)

A manifestação das diferentes modalidades no emprego do verbo auxiliar poder em português e em espanhol: análise do discurso de autoajuda

This paper aims to investigate the behavior of the modal verb poder as an auxiliary verb in text written in both two Romance languages, Brazilian Portuguese and Iberian Spanish. This research follows a functionalist language approach, more precisely the Dutch Functional Grammar tradition, based on the modality classification proposed by Hengeveld (2004). This author considers two main criteria: target of evaluation, and semantic domain of evaluation. Considering this classification, we analyze the use of the auxiliary verb poder in a corpus of self-help discourses, which currently enjoy enormous popularity in various parts of the world. Although in Portuguese the auxiliary verb poder is essentially an epistemic modal (cf. Neves 1999-2000) —which, according to the Hengeveld (2004), corresponds to the event-oriented epistemic modality—. However, our analysis show that, given the essentially optimistic nature of the discourse analyzed, the self-help discourse, the previously mentioned modal verb (poder) behaves predominantly as a participant-oriented facultative modal. This result demonstrates the importance of considering the context of occurrence of the verb poder in order to evaluate the effects of meaning associated with its use.
