O Programa de Hepatopatias do Hospital da Fundação Santa Casa de Misericórdia do Pará surgiu pela necessidade de prestar assistência a hepatopatas na região amazônica priorizando assistência qualificada, identificação das etiologias, seguimento clínico, e tratamento direcionado. Este trabalho visa descrever dados relativos à epidemiologia clínica, fatores etiológicos e análise histopatológica. Dos 1469 pacientes avaliados, através de exames clínicos, laboratoriais, endoscópicos e de imagem e/ou histopatológico, foram considerados hepatopatas crônicos 935 (63,6%). Nesta casuística, a média de idade foi 50 anos, 666 (71,2%) do sexo masculino e maior procedência de Belém. Os agentes etiológicos mais prevalentes foram alcoolismo (53,7%) e hepatites virais (39,1%). Biópsia hepática realizada em 403/935 (43,1%), demonstrou hepatite crônica (34%) e cirrose (34%) na maioria das amostras. Conclui-se, portanto, que a doença hepática crônica na região é mais prevalente no sexo masculino, sendo o alcoolismo a principal etiologia e mais da metade dos casos se encontravam em fase avançada no momento do diagnóstico.

The aim of this work was to evaluate the performance and the liver structure health of Nile tilapia hormonally masculinized or nonmasculinized, reared in cages with two protein levels. Two groups of Nile tilapia of Thai lineage (total 2,400), with 127 g initial average weight, were distributed in a completely randomized design with four treatments, in a 2x2 factorial arrangement, corresponding to the groups of hormonally masculinized or nonmasculinized fish, and to diet protein level of 28 or 32% of crude protein, with three replicates. After 115 days feeding, there was no interaction between the factors for final weight, weight gain, feed conversion rate, final length and survival. There was no difference between hormonally masculinized and nonmasculinized fish for final weight, weight gain, and survival, which shows the possibility of their production in cages, without the need of hormonal masculinization. Crude protein at 32% in the diet enables a better performance for both groups. Histological changes in the liver - such as increased cell volume, disruption of the cord-like arrangements, and increase of vesicles in the hepatocytes - are found in hormonally masculinized fish, and are more pronounced in fish fed 32% crude protein in the diet.

The interview has been a widely used procedure of research in humanities. Despite the frequent use, researches are not always supported in the literature on research methodology. The aim of this study was to analyze how the interview was used in dissertations and theses in a graduate Program in Education at a university in Sao Paulo state. This study examined 167 final papers developed in to period of five years. Variables focused were: justification for the use of interview, type of interview used, guide elaboration and adaptation, kind of analysis, among others. The results showed that it is still necessary to incorporate the contents of the research methodology underlying the use of the interview to achieve the scientific rigor for this procedure.

The Assistive Technology makes the lives of people without disabilities more practical, but for people with disabilities it can make things possible. For these individuals can provide the conditions, making their limitations are not obstacles to their social and personal empowerment, and may contribute to their effective participation in tasks that were previously impossible, such as remaining seated correctly. A segment on which the necessary assistive technology works, is the adaptation of furniture such as chairs, tables, chairs-to-wheels for individuals with disabilities, as well as cerebral palsy. The study aimed to conduct a survey and brief description of theses and dissertations produced in Brazil on furniture adapted for students with cerebral palsy. We made searching in databases of libraries of major universities and federal state national banks, theses and dissertations. Nine studies were selected for description. It was concluded that there is a considerable array of professionals, both in engineering as the field of rehabilitation, to contribute in the adaptation, creation and even the manufacture of furniture for children with cerebral palsy and that the securities most studied are the chairs and their components.

A tripanossomíase americana – Doença de Chagas – é uma parasitose típica de países tropicais e subdesenvolvidos. Devido a grande abrangência da doença, somada a dificuldade encontrada pelos pacientes para adquirir os medicamentos, Chung et al. (1996) sintetizaram o pró-fármaco hidroximetilnitrofural (NFOH). Esse derivado do nitrofural (NF), em estudos preliminares, apresentou resultados significativamente superiores aos observados com benznidazol e nitrofural, disponíveis para a terapia convencional. O presente estudo teve como objetivo a avaliação preliminar do potencial de hepatotoxicidade e cardiotoxicidade do NFOH quando administrado a coelhos albinos. O protocolo experimental se deu através da avaliação da atividade sérica dos biomarcadores hepáticos AST, ALT, GGT e bilirrubina, e do cardíaco CK-MB. Os animais foram divididos em três grupos (n=5), que receberam NFOH, NF e o veículo DMSO duas vezes ao dia, durante 24 dias. Para realização das análises foram coletadas amostras de sangue a cada seis dias. Os testes foram realizados através de kits bioquímicos para diagnóstico (Labtest®). Os níveis de AST e ALT dos grupos expostos aos fármacos apresentaram significativa diminuição com relação ao grupo controle, a bilirrubina não apresentou alterações significativas, e a atividade sérica da GGT apresentou-se elevada tanto nos grupos NFOH e NF quanto no grupo controle. Foi observada alta mortalidade entre os animais expostos ao NF e os valores de CK-MB foram significativamente superiores aos valores de referência descritos em literatura, sugerindo dano cardíaco. Tendo como base tais resultados, concluímos que o pró-fármaco não originou prejuízos relacionados ao tecido hepático, porém com relação à cardiotoxicidade há necessidade de estudos posteriores.

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 platinosomiase is a disease the hepatobiliary system of domestic felines being caused by trematode Platynosomum fastosum. The life cycle of the parasite includes the presence of three intermediate hosts (snails, terrestrial isopodes, lizards or frogs). The cat is considered definitive host of the parasite and acquires the infection eating a vertebrate intermediate host containing metacercariae. The adult parasites generally inhabit the liver, gallbladder and bile ducts of cats. The severity of clinical manifestations depends mainly on the number of flukes in the biliary tract. Many animals are asymptomatic or exhibit nonspecific clinical manifestations such as anorexia, lethargy, weight loss, vomiting and diarrhea. In large infestations can occur biliary obstruction resulting in jaundice, cirrhosis, hepatitis cholangiohepatitis and even death. The definitive diagnosis is accomplished through by the detection of fluke eggs in feces or through laparotomy and liver biopsy. Treatment should be based on the use of anthelmintic for the elimination of the parasite and supportive therapy for the animal. Prevention is difficult due to predatory nature of the cat. The control can be accomplished through periodic fecal examinations
