A hanseníase é uma doença infecciosa crônica, causada pelo Mycobacterium leprae, que afeta preferencialmente nervos periféricos e pele. O acometimento nervoso é responsável por deformidades e sintomatologia dolorosa, com consequente diminuição da qualidade de vida dos pacientes. A amitriptilina vem sendo utilizada como droga de escolha no alívio da dor neuropática nesses indivíduos. Entretanto, considerando a estreita faixa terapêutica e a importante variabilidade interindividual desse fármaco, faz-se necessário a monitorização de suas concentrações plasmáticas a fim de otimizar os esquemas terapêuticos. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste estudo foi validar metodologia analítica por Cromatografia Líquida de Alta Eficiência, determinar as concentrações plasmáticas de amitripitilina, bem como comparar as concentrações plasmáticas de amitriptilina com a presença de poliquimioterapia e o tipo de episódio reacional nos pacientes atendidos no Ambulatório do Núcleo de Medicina Tropical, que utilizaram doses de 25 e 50 mg/dia. A técnica validada demonstrou resultados adequados e perfeitamente aplicáveis à metodologia desejada. Dentre os pacientes participantes do estudo, 12 (57%) foram do sexo masculino e 9 (43%) feminino. Em relação ao período de ocorrência do episódio reacional 8 pacientes (38%) estavam fazendo uso da poliquimioterapia e 13 pacientes (62%) após o término do tratamento. Dez pacientes (47%) participantes do estudo apresentaram episódio reacional tipo I e 11 (53%) do tipo II. A concentração plasmática média de amitriptilina na dose 25mg/dia foi de 318 144 ng/mL e na dose de 50 mg/dia foi de 361,08 182. O coeficiente de variação foi de 53, 16 e 50,5 respectivamente.

A natação é um esporte praticado em um meio que oferece grande resistência ao deslocamento do atleta que necessita realizar grande força com a articulação do ombro durante as braçadas sendo, desse modo, de fundamental importância a avaliação da força desta articulação. São poucos os estudos que avaliam a força desta articulação em nadadores visando o desempenho esportivo. OBJETIVO: Verificar a reprodutibilidade do pico de torque (PT) e da taxa de desenvolvimento de força (TDF) dos rotadores internos do ombro em nadadores. MÉTODOS: Foram analisados 10 nadadores que realizaram 5s de contração isométrica, 5 contrações concêntricas em baixa velocidade (60°/s), e 5 contrações concêntricas em alta velocidade (180°/s). Foram determinados o PT e a TDF dos membros dominante e não-dominante. Após um intervalo de uma semana, os indivíduos foram testados novamente, sob as mesmas condições do primeiro teste, e foi avaliado o grau de confiabilidade. RESULTADOS: Os valores de PT foram similares entre as tentativas (p > 0,05). O coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (CCI) do PT isométrico foi de 0,76 e 0,85 (p < 0,05), na contração isocinética a 60º/s foi de 0,56 (p > 0,05) e 0,90 (p < 0,05) e na contração isocinética a 180º/s foi de 0,84 e 0,76 (p < 0,05), para o membro dominante e não dominante respectivamente. A TDF pico não foi significantemente diferente entre os testes para ambos os membros (p > 0,05), porém não houve correlação significante entre os testes para ambos os membros (p > 0,05). CONCLUSÃO: Conclui-se que o teste isocinético de rotação interna do ombro em nadadores apresenta boa reprodutibilidade para a determinação do PT. Não foi observada boa reprodutibilidade para a TDF pico, provavelmente pelo baixo número de voluntários

Due the differences between interaction physics process with matter for protons and photons, the proton beam tomography (pCT) has some vantages to comparison with conventional tomography. Also it is confirmed that usually pCT has better dose distribution and highest contrast resolution. The pCT allow not only view the internal structure of an object without destroying it, but also directly measure of volume density of electrons. Also it is confirmed that usually pCT has better dose distribution and highest contrast resolution. At the same time, there are many scientific and technical aspects to a detailed study: the capacity and limitations of the pCT methods are not well clarified. Through computations, based on Monte Carlo Method was carried out a detailed study of the contribution of non-elastic nuclear spreading, and together was compared with an analytical model for the deflection angle and the lateral deflection of protons in the target volume. The programs used were SRIM 2006 code and MCNPX v.2.50 code

The objective of the present study was to compare the effects of a high speed isokinetic training (180°.s-1) and an isometric training (75°) on the maximum rate of force development (RFDmax) measured in the isokinetic and isometric modes. Twenty seven male non active subjects participated of this study (Mean + SD = body mass 78.6 + 14.1 kg; stature 175.1 + 8.9 cm; age 22.6 + 3.8 years). They were randomly divided into three groups: Control (GC); Isokinetic training (GISOC) and; Isometric training (GISOM). The subjects were submitted in different days to the following pre training protocols: 1) Familiarization to the isokinetic dynamometer tests; 2) Five maximum concentric isokinetic contractions of the knee extensors (180°.s-1) to access the maximum concentric torque (TMC) and the concentric RFDmax; 3) Two maximum isometric contractions of the knee extensors (75°) to access the maximum isometric torque (TMI) and the isometric RFDmax. The same tests were repeated after the training period, but without the familiarization session. Eighteen training sessions were performed (3 times per week). The GISOC performed the entire training whit concentric isokinetic contractions whit the speed of 180°.s-1. The GISOM performed the entire training whit isometric contractions whit the angle between the thigh end the leg being 75° (0° = full knee extension). TMI, TMC, concentric RFDmax, isometric RFDmax values of the GC was not different between pre and post training. GISOM increased only the TMI and the GSIOC increased the TMC, concentric RFDmax and isometric RFDmax. Furthermore, the GISOC had a higher percentage increase of the isometric RFDmax than the isokinetic RFDmax. Based on these results, it is possible to conclude that the increase in maximum strength corresponded to the training specificity theory, unlike to the RFDmax. Thus the use of isometric contraction ...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)

The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of unilateral isokinetic strength training at high speed (180°.s-1) of the dominant leg on the rate of force development (RFD) of the contralateral limb. The study included 18 male individuals, apparently healthy, with an average of 23 years, and without regular practice of physical activities. The subjects were divided randomly into two groups: control group (GC) and isokinetic group (GISOC). Assessments were made of the values of peak isometric torque (PT isom) and RFD of both lower limbs in the pre-training. So, the GISOC underwent an isokinetic strength training with high speed (180°.s-1) for 6 weeks, with the dominant leg only and then reassessed. It was found that there was no significant improvement in value of PT isom (p> 0.05), and the RFD for the dominant limb had a significant improvement (p< 0.05) compared to the pre-training and that there was no transfer of values to the contralateral side (p> 0.05). It can be concluded that the isokinetic training at high speed was not enough for significant cross education

The Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT), based on the 10B(n,α)7Li reaction, represents a promising modality for the treatment of cancers that are resistents to conventional treatments. So, it is necessary to find drugs (boron compounds) with high selectivity for each type of cancer, the neutrons source should be well characterized and the rate of 10B(n,α)7Li reaction should be measured with great accuracy as possible. This study aimed to develop a method for manufacturing thin films of boron, for measure the 10B(n,α)7Li reaction, and analyze the uniformity of the films. Five thin films of boron were manufactured with three different concentrations of boric acid, heated to transform the acid in boron, irradiated with thermic neutrons coupled to CR-39 detectors, in BNCT line at the reactor IEA-R1 IPEN/CNEN, São Paulo. After the irradiation, the detectors were chemically attacked with NaOH to reveal the tracks. The methodology presented is effective because it resulted in deposition of boron as thin film enabling the quantitative analysis of 10B(n,α)7Li reaction. The analysis of the uniformity of density of the induced tracks in CR-39 shows that, in most of the films, there is no uniformity in surface distribution of boron, but when the film is divided, we obtain some uniform sectors

The present work aims to study the characteristics of the alloy Al - 7 % Si - 0 , 3Mg ( AA356 ) , more specifically characterize the macrostructure and microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy ingots AA356 obtained in metal molds and sand molds for power studying the structures through the difference of cooling rates . This alloy is explained by the fact of referring league has excellent combination of properties such as low solidification shrinkage and good fluidity, good weldability , high wear resistance , high strength to weight ratio, has wide application in general engineering , and particularly in the automotive and aerospace engineering . In this work we will verify this difference in properties through two different cooling rates . We monitor the solid solidification temperatures by thermocouples building with them the cooling curve as a tool that will aid us to evaluate the effectiveness of the grain refining because it achieved with some important properties of the alloy as the latent heat of solidification fraction the liquid and solid temperatures, the total solidification time, and identify the presence of inoculants for grain refinement. Thermal analysis will be supported by the study of graphic software “Origin “will be achieved where the cooling curve and its first derivative that is the cooling rate. Made thermal analysis, analysis will be made in macrographs ingots obtained for observation of macrostructures obtained in both types of ingots and also analysis of micrographs where sampling will occur in strategic positions ingots to correlate with the microstructure. Finally will be collecting data from Brinell hardness of ingots and so then correlating the properties of their respective ingots with cooling rate. We found that obtained with cast metal ingots showed superior properties to the ingots obtained with sand mold
