Introduction: Smoking is considered by World Health Organisation (WHO) a disease, since nicotine is addictive and cause physical, emotional and behavioral disorders in people who smoke. The objective of this study was to evaluate the concentrated attention and memory in smokers and nonsmokers, and the influence of one cigarette in this variables. Material and Methods: We selected two groups of subjects between 18 and 25 years, with no history of acute or chronic respiratory disease. Group 1 (G1) consist of 40 nonsmoking individuals and group 2 (G2) 40 smokers (who smoked less than 20 cigarettes per day, for up to 10 years). The subjects were tested for concentrated attention and memory test (AC Test), nonsmokers performed the test once, smokers performed the test twice, before smoking and after five minutes after smoking one cigarette. Smokers stayed without cigarret for one our before the first test. Results: Comparing the tests nonsmokers versus smokers first test, there was no significant difference (p> 0.05), however, the analysis of the two trials of smokers, showed improvement in concentrated attention and memory after smoke (p <0.0001). Conclusions: There was no difference in Concentrated Attention and Memory among nonsmokers and smokers in abstinence, however smokers showed significant improvement in AC Test after smoking.

Alcoholic beverage and the factors associated with the consumption of this substance among teenagers worry authorities linked to education and health. This study aimed to investigate the use of risky alcohol among schoolchildren. The study was conducted in two cities in the countryside of São Paulo. Attended by 54 students of a city with 5,000 inhabitants (City A) and 53 students in a city of 35,000 inhabitants (City B). It was applied in the classroom a questionnaire for screening on the use of alcohol (AUDIT). In the results if notes that the percentage of participants who reached score above 7 points, was 25.9 % for the City A and 11.3 % for the city B. It was concluded that there was a greater frequency of students doing risky use of alcohol among students of the city with the lowest number of inhabitants, there are significant differences (p ≤ 0.001 ). Further studies are needed to identify possible variables involved in the results between the cities.

Sabe-se que as substâncias presentes na fumaça do cigarro provocam alterações no sistema respiratório, incluindo alterações no transporte mucociliar. Objetivo: Comparar o transporte mucociliar de indivíduos tabagistas e abstênicos, e correlacioná-lo à função pulmonar e a história tabagística. Metodologia: Foram avaliados 65 indivíduos, divididos em 2 grupos, grupo abstênico (G1) e grupo controle (G2). Primeiramente, foi realizada uma entrevista inicial para obtenção de dados pessoais, antropométrico e histórico tabágístico. Após foram avaliados quanto à função pulmonar (espirometria), quantificação do monóxido de carbono no ar exalado (COex) e do transporte mucociliar nasal (tempo de trânsito de sacarina-TTS). Todas as avaliações foram realizadas após um período de doze horas, 7 e 15 e 30 dias de abstinência do cigarro. Método estatístico: A descrição dos resultados foi apresentada como média e desvio padrão. Para comparação dos grupos foi utilizado ANOVA para medidas repetidas, não paramétrico, seguido do teste Volm-hidak. O nível de significância utilizado foi de p<0.05. Resultados: Houve diferença estatística entre o TTS no grupo abstênico a partir de 15 dias em relação ao valor basal. Não houve correlação entre o transporte mucociliar basal e as variáveis. Conclusão: Indivíduos que cessam o hábito tabagístico, após 15 dias de abstinência, já é possível verificar melhora na depuração mucociliar e esta se mantém na faixa de normalidade até o 30º dia

Ethanol, the main automotive biofuel, has its production based on the fermentation of sugars found in biological materials and on the distillation of the alcoholic media formed during the fermentative process. Stillage is the main residue from ethanol production, containing a high organic loading in addition to acidic and corrosive characteristics. Considering the available technologies to treat stillage, we highlight anaerobic digestion, which allows the reduction of the impacts associated to pollutants loading of this effluent and the generation of energy from the methane gas produced in the process. Based on the high treatment efficiency usually associated to the anaerobic process, this work aimed to assess whether anaerobic systems applied to the treatment of stillage are energetically self-sufficient. First we evaluated the energy recovery capacity in an anaerobic reactor applied to the treatment of stillage resulting from corn-to-ethanol processing. The results indicated the great influence that a correct selection of electrical equipment and their respective operating periods have on the net energy balance of the anaerobic treatment. The high energy consumption of the heater would not allow the system to achieve a positive net energy balance – the maximum energy recovery would reach only 0.68% of the consumption. However, the replacement of the mixture equipment would result in energy gains ranging from 8.5 to 967.9% of the consumption. In this work we also assessed the efficiency of methane yields for a few studies and the correlation between some parameters of the anaerobic process. With respect to the methane yield, we noted that mesophilic systems tend to be more advantageous than the thermophilic ones (efficiency of 76.45 ± 22.51% vs. 69.40 ± 30.36%). Considering the study...

Nos últimos anos tem crescido o interesse de inúmeros pesquisadores em relação ao sono, já que ele vem sendo apontado como um importante indicador de saúde. Sabe-se atualmente que a qualidade do sono pode ser influenciada por diversos fatores, tais como: o uso de medicamentos; ingestão alcoólica; alterações psicológicas e sociais; ambiente; e a prática regular de atividade física. Por este motivo, objetivamos com este trabalho, verificar a qualidade de sono apresentada por praticantes de atividade física regular, bem como, apresentar propostas para uma maior qualidade da mesma. Para isso aplicamos um questionário de percepção subjetiva de qualidade de sono, com níveis de qualidade entre: sono profundo e pouquíssimo estado de sonolência, durante 31 dias consecutivos. Fizeram parte da pesquisa, sete indivíduos (5 homens e 2 mulheres), com idades entre 49 e 73 anos (± 63 anos), praticantes de atividade física regular. Os resultados demonstraram que: 2.8% (6) dos relatos indicaram um sono profundo; 77.0% (167) um sono normal; 5.5% (12) um sono sem relaxamento; 14.3% (31) um sono ruim, com pausas; e 0.4% (1) pouquíssimo estado de sonolência. Em 79.8% (173) dos relatos, a percepção subjetiva de qualidade de sono foi de profundo ou normal, enquanto que em 20.2% (44) dos mesmos, a qualidade do sono estava entre: sem relaxamento; ruim, com pausas; e pouquíssimo estado de sonolência; o que nos leva a concluir que a qualidade do sono destes indivíduos pode ser considerada boa. Porém, as alterações na estrutura de sono, inerentes ao processo de envelhecimento, parecem comprometer uma maior qualidade de sono, principalmente a aquisição de um sono profundo. Se a prática de atividade física regular é importante para alterações benéficas na qualidade de sono destes indivíduos, a adoção de hábitos de higiene de sono, ...(Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

The present study aimed to analyze the effects of exercise performed at aerobic/anaerobic transition on non-alcoholic hepatic steatosis (NAHS) markers in diabetic rats. Adult (60 days) male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: sedentary control (SC), trained control (TC), sedentary diabetic (i.v. alloxan injection) (SD) and trained diabetic (TD). At the beginning of the experiment, all the animals were submitted to maximal lactate steady state test (MLSS) in order to identify the aerobic/anaerobic metabolic transition during swimming exercise. The trained groups were submitted to swimming, supporting overloads (% of body weight – b.w.) equivalent to MLSS intensity, 1h/day, 5 days/week, during 8 weeks. We analyzed: serum ALT, AST, albumin, glucose and free fat acids (FFA), body weight and total lipid concentrations in the liver. The diabetic groups showed higher (ANOVA two-way, p<0.05) serum glucose (SD=200% and TD= 150%) and weight loss (SD= 15.0% and TD= 8.5%) compared to controls and the SD showed higher glucose concentration and weight loss when compared to TD. The work load (% b.w.) equivalent to the MLSS was lower in TD (4.7%) than in TC (5.6%) group. The NAHS markers (U/L) did not show... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

The aim of this study is to establish the factors that influence the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS being treated at a specialized public service. The participants answered the questionnaire on sociodemographic conditions, issues related to HIV and daily habits. The quality of life was analyzed using the HIV/AIDS-targeted quality of life (HAT-QoL) instrument with 42 items divided into 9 fields: General Activity, Sexual Activity, Confidentiality Concerns, Health Concerns, Financial Concerns, HIV Awareness, Satisfaction with Life, Issues related to Medication and Trust in the Physician. Bivariate and multiple linear regressions were performed. Of the participants, 53.1% were women and had a mean age of 42 years. In analyzing the quality of life, the HAT-QoL domain with the lowest average was Financial Concerns (39.4), followed by Confidentiality Concerns (43.2), Sexual Activity (55.2) and Health Concerns (62. 88). There was an association between the variables: not being gainfully employed (p < 0.001), being mulatto or black (p = 0.045) and alcohol consumption (p = 0.041) with the worst quality of life scores. Inadequate socioeconomic and health conditions had a negative impact on the quality of life of people with HIV/AIDS.

Vinegar is a food of condiments group that have great use in the food industry. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of parameters of the acetic fermentation process in the production of ginger vinegar. A suspension of ginger rhizomes with 12% of starch was subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis process to obtain hydrolyzed with 85.6% of glucose. After the alcoholic fermentation the wine was obtained with 40.3% ethanol. The acetic fermentation process of ginger alcoholic solution followed a completely randomized design in a factorial for three factors at two levels. The independent variables were: temperature, nutrients and proportion of "strong vinegar" and alcoholic solution (initial acidity). Results showed variation from 2.74 to 3.70% for dry extract and 2.13 to 2.83% for ash in vinegars. The profile of organic acids of ginger vinegars showed the presence of acetic, citric, malic and succinic acids in all treatments. The condition of 20 degrees C, initial acidity 1:1, with addition of nutrients allow obtaining good quality vinegars and higher GK yields.
