A efusão pleural, antigamente denominada derrame pleural, é caracterizada pelo acúmulo de líquido no espaço pleural, em decorrência do desequilíbrio entre formação e reabsorção de fluido ou por alteração na drenagem linfática. O propósito desta revisão foi estabelecer a importância da aplicação da ultra-sonografia no diagnóstico de efusão pleural. Os autores discutem a aplicação da ultra-sonografia no diagnóstico e abordagem terapêutica dessa entidade, e ressaltam sua importância nas doenças do tórax, vantagens, limitações e desvantagens em relação a radiografia simples, tomografia computadorizada e exame físico. Discutem, ainda, o conceito de efusão pleural, sua fisiopatologia, morbidade, mortalidade, principais causas e apresentação clínica. A técnica de realização do exame é sistematicamente abordada, tanto pela via torácica quanto abdominal.

A hérnia lombar é um diagnóstico infrequente e difícil. É mais prevalente em pessoas do sexo masculino e de idade avançada. Relatamos o caso de um paciente de 79 anos de idade, do sexo masculino, que realizou drenagem de derrame pleural há 17 anos e que apresentou quadro clínico e tomográfico de hérnia lombar adquirida secundária do tipo Grynfeltt.

OBJETIVO: Comparar os tempos de geração e digitação de laudos radiológicos entre um sistema eletrônico baseado na tecnologia de voz sobre o protocolo de internet (VoIP) e o sistema tradicional, em que o radiologista escreve o laudo à mão. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foi necessário modelar, construir e implantar o sistema eletrônico proposto, capaz de gravar o laudo em formato de áudio digital, e compará-lo com o tradicional já existente. Por meio de formulários, radiologistas e digitadores anotaram os tempos de geração e digitação dos laudos nos dois sistemas. RESULTADOS: Comparadas as médias dos tempos entre os sistemas, o eletrônico apresentou redução de 20% (p = 0,0410) do tempo médio de geração do laudo em comparação com o sistema tradicional. O tradicional foi mais eficiente em relação ao tempo de digitação, uma vez que a média de tempo do eletrônico foi três vezes maior (p < 0,0001). CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados mostraram diferença estatisticamente significante entre os sistemas comparados, sendo que o eletrônico foi mais eficiente do que o tradicional em relação ao tempo de geração dos laudos, porém, em relação ao tempo de digitação, o tradicional apresentou melhores resultados.

OBJETIVO: A segunda opinião médica pode auxiliar no processo de investigação do problema de saúde de um paciente e na definição da conduta terapêutica. Este trabalho tem por objetivo demonstrar um processo de segunda opinião médica por meio de um sistema web multiespecialidades adaptado para a radiologia. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: O sistema foi utilizado por 49 médicos residentes da Universidade Federal de São Paulo, os quais responderam a 52 solicitações de segunda opinião. Como instrumentos de avaliação foram utilizados questionários. RESULTADOS: Foram avaliadas 1.704 respostas de segunda opinião. Deste total, 514 (29,1%) foram definidas como satisfatórias. Em 64,4% as respostas dos questionários indicaram que a qualidade das imagens não comprometeu o diagnóstico. O tempo médio para emitir a segunda opinião remota foi de 6 minutos e 26 segundos. CONCLUSÃO: O processo de segunda opinião médica realizado por intermédio de um sistema web multiespecialidades ajustado para a radiologia pode ser uma excelente ferramenta para o manejo das condutas médicas.

An automatic dispenser based on a flow-injection system used to introduce sample and analytical solution into an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer through a spray chamber is proposed. Analytical curves were constructed after the injection of 20 to 750 µL aliquots of a multielement standard solution (20.0 µg L-1 in Li, Be, Al, V, Cr, Mn, Ni, Co, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Sr, Ag, Cd, Ba, Tl, Pb) and the acquisition of the integrated transient signals. The linear concentration range could be extended to ca. five decades. The performance of the system was checked by analyzing a NIST 1643d reference material. Accuracy could be improved by the proper selection of the injected volume. Besides good precision (r.s.d. < 2%), the results obtained with the proposed procedure were closer to the certified values of the reference material than those obtained by direct aspiration or by injecting 125 µL of several analytical solutions and samples.

A simple flow cell for potentiometric detection is described. It was assembled by making use of two perspex pieces fixed together by means of four screws, and allow the connection of plane membrane conventional electrodes to flow system. Details about its construction are presented. The device performance was evaluated by making use of a cyanide ion-selective electrode. The relative standard deviation was about 0.5% with a detection limit of 8.0 x 10-6 mol CN- dm-3. Under experimental conditions, the linear range was 10-5 to10-2 mol dm-3.

An automatic system for the direct determination of lead and tin by atomic absorption spectrometry is described. The on-line treatment of the metallic samples was obtained by anodic electrodissolution in a flow injection system. Lead was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) and tin by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS). A computer program managed the current source and the solenoid valves that direct the fluids. Good linear correlations between absorbance and current intensity for lead and tin were observed. Results were in agreement with the certified values. Precision was always better than 5%. The recommended procedure allows the direct determination of 60 or 30 elements/h using FAAS or GFAAS, respectively.

A new automated system for acid-base flow titrations is proposed. In the operation mode, several sample to titrant volumetric ratios are injected in an air segmented plug. Five three way solenoid valves and three acrilic junctions, assembled in a hidrodynamic injection system, were accountable for the monosegmented reagents plug formation. A turbulent flow reactor was used for a perfect mix of reagents in the plug. The detector system employed a glass combined electrode fitted in an acrilic holder. Titrations of hydrochloric, nitric and acetic acids, in several concentrations, were performed with standard sodium hidroxide, for evaluation of the efficiency of the system. The relative standard deviation of the determinations was about ±0,5% and each titration was carried out in 3-4 minutes. A Quick BASIC 4.5® program was developed for the titrator control.

The hexane extract of leaves of B. microphylla afforded a mixture of triterpenes esterified with fatty acids. Analyses of spectral data of the mixture and of the derivatives obtained by a transesterification reaction with NaOMe/MeOH permitted to identify the composition of the mixtures as being 24-hydroxy-urs-12-enyl 3b-eicosanate, estearate and palmitate as well as of the 24-hydroxy-olean-12-enyl 3b-eicosanate, estearate and palmitate. From the choroform and ethyl acetate extracts were isolated the oleanolic and 3b,24-dihydroxy-urs-12-en-28-oic acids, quercetin and methyl galic ester, respectively. The compounds were identified through analysis of their spectral data.

An on-line electrodissolution procedure implemented in a flow injection system for determination of copper, zinc and lead in brasses alloys by ICP-AES is described. Sample dissolution procedure was carried out by using a PTFE chamber and a DC power supply with constant current. Solid sample was attached to chamber as anode and a gold tubing coupled in the chamber was used as cathode. An electrolytic solution flowing through the gold tubing closed the electric circuit with sample, in order to provide condition for electric dissolution when the DC power supply was switched on. The best results were achieved by using a 1.5 mol l-1 nitric acid solution as electrolyte and a 2.5 A current intensity. The procedure presented a good performance characterized by a relative standard deviation better than < 5% (n=5) and a sample throughput of 180 determinations per hour for Cu, Zn and Pb. Results were in agreement with those obtained by conventional acid dissolution (99% confidence level).
