Importance of the field: The use of topical agents poses unique and challenging hurdles for drug delivery. Topical steroids effectively control ocular inflammation, but are associated with the well-recognized dilemma of patient compliance. Although administration of topical antimicrobials as prophylaxis is acceptable among ophthalmologists, this common practice has no sound evidence base Developing a new antimicrobial agent or delivery strategy with enhanced penetration by considering the anatomical and physiological constraints exerted by the barriers of the eye is not a commonly perceived strategy. Exploiting the permeability of the sclera, subconjunctival routes may offer a promising alternative for enhanced drug delivery and tissue targeting.Area covered in this review: Ocular drug delivery strategies were reviewed for ocular inflammation and infections clinically adopted for newer class of antimicrobials, which use a multipronged approach to limit risks of endophthalmitis.What the reader will gain: The analysis substantiates a new transscleral drug delivery therapeutic approach for cataract surgery.Take home message: A new anti-inflammatory and anti-infective paradigm that frees the patient from the nuisance of topical therapeutics is introduced, opening a large investigative avenue for future improved therapies.

Este artigo descreve o quadro de transformações históricas do Brasil, na segunda metade do século XX, para inserir aí a questão do idoso, numa perspectiva do envelhecimento da população. Situa as mudanças sociais, a perda de poder do idoso, fruto da urbanização e da modernização, com sua estrutura de empregos que transformou o antigo chefe da família extensa no aposentado. Propõe então medidas para recuperação da dignidade dessa importante categoria sociológica, a partir da educação da nova sociedade. Sugere ainda que, para os professores de crianças e adolescentes que receiam lidar com o Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente, talvez um bom caminho para enfrentar a complexa área dos direitos humanos seja trabalhar com seus alunos na valorização da memória do idoso, o que significa ao mesmo tempo fazê-los adquirir conhecimentos e valorizar os mais velhos, reconhecendo-os como titulares de direitos.

Objective Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is a dominantly inherited syndrome of reduced tissue responsiveness to thyroid hormone usually due to mutations located in the ligand-binding domain and adjacent hinge region of the thyroid hormone receptor beta (TR beta). In the present report we describe the clinical and laboratory characteristics and the genetic analysis of patients with this rare disorder from a Brazilian population.Patients Four unrelated Brazilian families with diagnosis of RTH were studied. Age at diagnosis varied from 14 months to 29 years.Results All affected individuals were clinically euthyroid, except for one patient who presented immediately after birth with hyperthyroidism. All individuals had tachycardia and goitre, elevated concentrations of free thyroid hormones and reduced sensitivity to thyroid hormone. Direct sequencing analysis of the TR beta gene revealed four previously reported mutations: c.949G -> A, c.1313G -> A, c.1357C -> A and c.1358dupC in families A, B, C and D, respectively.Conclusion the present report shows that the frequent mutations described in the thyroid hormone receptor worldwide are also present in the Brazilian population, which is characterized by a variable ethnic background.

Aging seems to impair the walking. However, it is not clear the effects of aging on walking. The aim of this study was to determine changes in kinematic, kinetic and electromyographic parameters of the free and adaptive gait, in preferred velocity, caused by aging. The initial search strategy was performed to identify all articles that examined the free and adaptive gait. The electronic databases analyzed were: MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Sports Discus, DARE, PsychInfo, ERIC, AusportMed, AMI, Cochrane and PEDro. Twenty-three articles were reviewed in full. Elderly are slower, with shorter step length and longer double support duration than young adults during free and adaptive gait. Even, they showed higher muscular demands, with redistribution of joint power and torque and decreased force in the propulsion and absorption phases. It was concluded that elderly present altered kinematic, kinetic and electromyographic parameters of free and adaptive gait compared to young adults.

Programas educacionais de prevenção são mecanismos utilizados para suprir necessidades, sendo importante conhecer peculiaridades de sua aplicação e resultados obtidos. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar e analisar o método e os resultados de publicações sobre o Programa Educacional de Resistência às Drogas e à Violência (PROERD), tanto no Brasil quanto no exterior. A pesquisa foi realizada nas bases de dados Scielo, Lilacs, Medline, Cohrane e Eric, utilizando-se como descritores os termos Proerd, Dare, Programa Proerd, Dare program e Dare Project. Verificou-se que são escassas as publicações, sobretudo no Brasil, não há padronização de instrumentos de pesquisa e há divergências entre os resultados que avaliaram o PROERD. Conclui-se que é preciso ampliar a realização e a divulgação de pesquisas que investigam o desenvolvimento e os resultados do programa.
