Natação Adaptada: análise da função pulmonar de pessoas com deficiência

The research discusses the pulmonary function of the students of SORRI that are part of the Project for the extension of the Department of Physical Education in Bauru Swimming for People with Disabilities during the aquatic activities, noting the changes in efficiency class of breathing with the practice of aquatic activity, by the analysis of the volume and respiratory capacity. The respiratory control is essential in the process of adaptation to the liquid medium, because a student who fails to immerse the face in the water will not be able to adopt a horizontal position sufficiently stable. The practice of aquatic activities requires a great effort of breathing. Therefore, the practice of aquatic activities influence favorably the breathing, because the movements performed in the water tone the diaphragm, which is the essential muscle of the breathing, allowing an improvement in pulmonary ventilation. For the purposes of this study, the sample was composed of 10 students of the SORRI of the city of Bauru forming part of the project Swimming for People with Disabilities, practicing swimming once a week for 1 hour. For the collection of lung volumes and capacities was used a transducer of air flow and a unit of data collection, model MP36, both of the brand Biopac connected to a computer, where the data were collected and recorded for later analysis. Two tests were carried out in a day with each participant in the project of swimming, and a test at the beginning of the lesson, at rest, and another after a series of 10 breaths carried out within the swimming pool. These tests were performed in the months of March and April. The analysis of the data was through the medium of the figures and also individually, noting the changes in respiratory function of students practicing aquatic activities, without which there would be no comparison between the participants. The measurements of the scores on the pre- and post-exercise show that the...

Effects of the morphine-lidocaine-ketamine combination on cardiopulmonary function and isoflurane sparing in sheep

The aims of this study were to evaluate the isoflurane sparing and clinical effects of a constant rate infusion of morphine - lidocaine - ketamine (MLK) in healthy sheep undergoing experimental gastrointestinal surgery. Twelve adult female sheep (Texel breed) were used, weighing 36.5 +/- 8.1 kg. The sheep were anesthetized for the implantation of duodenal cannulas. The sheep were premedicated with 0.3 mg kg(-1) intramuscular (IM) morphine and 20 mu g kg(-1) intravenous (IV) detomidine. After premedication, anesthesia was induced using 5 mg kg(-1) ketamine and 0.5 mg kg(-1) diazepam IV and maintained using isoflurane in 100% oxygen. After the induction of anesthesia, the animals were allocated into two groups (each n=6); the GMLK (MLK group - 10 mg morphine, 150 mg lidocaine, 30 mg de ketamine were added in 500 mL saline) received a 10 mL kg(-1)h(-1) MLK infusion during the maintenance of anesthesia, and GCON (control group) received 10 mL kg(-1)h(-1) of 0.9% sodium chloride. The animals were mechanically ventilated. Cardiopulmonary variables and end-tidal isoflurane concentration (FE'Iso) were measured at baseline (immediately before the surgery) and 15, 30 and 45 minutes after initiation of surgery. In GMLK, there was a decrease in the FE 'Iso at 15, 30 and 45 minutes, a reduction of up to 75.6% during the surgery. The HR was lower in GMLK compared with GCON at 30 minutes, and the MAP was at during baseline in GCON compared with GMLK. The standing time was less in GMLK than in GCON. The use of intravenous MLK was demonstrated to offer great efficiency as part of a balanced anesthesia protocol in sheep, with a 75.6% reduction in the need for isoflurane, providing stability of the cardiovascular parameters and blood gases with a shortened recovery period.

Improvement to the physical quality and imbibition pattern in seeds of candeia (Eremanthus incanus (Less.) Less.)

The objective of this work was to develop a methodology for seed processing and X-ray analysis and to study imbibition pattern in seeds of candeia (Eremanthus incanus). Seeds were gathered in 2001 and 2002 in Morro do Pilar and Lavras respectively, processed and stored in a cold chamber (5ºC/60%RH) until the start of experiments. In order to identify unfilled seeds, a protocol was developed for X-ray use combining radiation energy (Kv) and exposure time (seconds). For elimination of unfilled seeds, an experiment was conducted using a South Dakota seed blower whereby different opening settings and ventilation times were combined. Original seed lots and categorized lots following radiograph viewing were tested by germination tests, with seeds being cleansed in sodium hypochlorite and scattered over blotting paper in 'gerboxes' and then taken to germinators with alternating temperatures of 20º-30ºC and 10 hours of light, for up to 15 days. Imbibition curves were determined under the conditions 30ºC, 20º-30ºC/10 hours of light and 30º-20ºC/10 hours of light. The X-ray protocol that best allowed viewing of internal seed structures was 30Kv for 45 seconds. Seed separation using the blower setting at a 3.0 opening for 30 seconds raised the number of embryonic seeds to values exceeding 99%, also raising the germination rates as a consequence. The imbibition pattern is three-phased and the germination process is completed in 72 hours. Under alternate temperatures, primary root growth is favored.

Comparação entre a recuperação da economia de corrida e força muscular medida por diferentes métodos após o dano muscular

The goal of the present study was to investigate possible differences towards strenght recovery measured by different methods and running economy (RE), after one session of downhill running (DR), in order to induce muscle damage (MD). Our hypothesis is that the strenght recovery measured by jumps is more alike RE markers, due to the measures' specificity. Ten male subjects, ages 18 to 30, apparently healthy, without any experience with strenght training at least 6 months before the tests took place in this study. After going to the lab twice (to familiarize themselves with the protocols, and determine their maximum oxygen consumption/running speeds), they went to the lab five times in the following week, in order to collect all the variables before, immediately after, and 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours in. The variables obtained were: stride frequency (SF), stride lenght (SL), oxygen volume (VO2), carbon dioxide volume (VCO2), ventilation (VE), lactate blood concentration ([Lac]), isometric peak torque (IPT), subjective pain perception (SPP), effort perception (EP), medial-portion circumference (CIR), knee movement extent (EXT), torque development rate (TDR), counter movement jump and squat jump height (HCM and HS), strenght development rate of both jumps (SDCM and SDS), and maximum soil strenght reaction (SRCM and SRS). Changes over time in all variables were verified by one way variancy analysis. Differences between the strenght measures were verified by two way variancy analysis. When significant effects were verified, Tuckey's post-hoc were applied. The significancy level taken on this study was p < 0,05. Of all indirect muscle damage markers, IPT, SPP and TDR were the only ones in which ocurred significant changes. We couldn't find the moments where this happened for TDR with the post-hoc used. On RE markers, VO2, [Lac] and VE suffered significant effects over time. About the jumps variables, only SDCM and HCM presented significant...

Signos neurológicos asociados a pacientes caninos con linfoma

Cancer alters the structure or functions of adjacent organs with their sole presence, and subsequent clinical manifestations, but can also cause harmful effects in distant organs. These clinical changes induced by non-invasive tumor action are of great clinical diversity and are known as paraneoplastic syndromes. This paper describes four cases of canine patients with neurological disorders associated to generalized superficial lymphadenopathy.

Anestesia peribulbar para enucleação em um felino: relato de caso

Foi atendido no Hospital Veterinário “Luiz Quintiliano de Oliveira”, o felino Nick, SRD, de quatro meses de idade, pesando 700 gramas, com histórico de trauma por arranhadura em bulbo ocular esquerdo. Ao exame físico específico, evidenciou-se úlcera profunda e prolapso de íris, sendo então indicada a enucleação. Ao exame físico geral, observou-se freqüência cardíaca (FC) de 160 batimentos.min-1, frequência respiratória (f) de 80 movimentos.min-1, tempo de preenchimento capilar menor do que dois segundos, temperatura retal (TR) de 39,2oC e mucosas normocoradas. Como medicação pré-anestésica, empregou-se acepromazina (0,04 mg.kg-1) e metadona (0,3 mg.kg-1), administradas pela via intramuscular. A veia femoral esquerda foi cateterizada com cateter 24G para administração de Ringer com Lactato de sódio (10 mL.kg-1.h- 1 ). A indução foi realizada por máscara facial tendo-se como agente o isofluorano em fluxo diluente de 100 mL.kg-1.min-1 de oxigênio a 100%, seguida de intubação orotraqueal com sonda n o 2,5 sem cuff. Seguiu-se a manutenção anestésica com a mesma mistura da indução, administrada por meio de circuito anestésico sem reinalação de gases, do tipo Baraka, mantendose o paciente sob ventilação assistida. Ato contínuo, realizou-se a técnica anestésica peribulbar de punção única inferior, utilizando-se lidocaína 2% com vasoconstritor (3mg.kg-1) associada a bupivacaína 0,5% sem vasoconstritor (0,8mg.kg-1), perfazendo um volume total de 0,3ml.kg-1 . Uma agulha 13x4,5 foi introduzida em todo o seu comprimento com o bisel voltado para a órbita, no terço lateral do fórnice conjuntival inferior da órbita esquerda, administrando-se a associação dos agentes anestésicos locais, seguida de compressão manual da área para facilitar a difusão dos mesmos. Durante o procedimento anestésico, realizou-se a monitoração da FC, f, pressão arterial sistólica (PAS), TR e saturação periférica da hemoglobina (SpO2). O tempo total de anestesia e cirurgia foi de 30 e 20 minutos, respectivamente, e a SpO2, concentração de isofluorano e TR mantiveram-se em 99±1%, 1,7±0,8% e 37,4±1,5oC, respectivamente. O plano anestésico manteve-se estável, sem a necessidade de resgate analgésico. Não houve a ocorrência de reflexo óculo-cardíaco (ROC) frente à manipulação do nervo óptico, o que pode ser atribuída provavelmente ao bloqueio peribulbar. A anestesia regional é frequentemente empregada para cirurgias oftálmicas em humanos, como a facoemulsificação, sendo que o manejo anestésico pode contribuir para o sucesso do procedimento. Pode-se concluir que, também na espécie felina, o bloqueio peribulbar pode ser uma boa alternativa para a realização de protocolos de anestesia balanceada para procedimentos oftálmicos.

Atresia maxilar em adultos: simplificação da técnica cirúrgica

A expansão rápida da maxila cirurgicamente assistida (ERMCA) é realizada por meio de osteotomias nos pilares da maxila e na sutura palatina mediana, promovendo a correção da deficiência transversa da maxila. Técnicas menos invasivas foram descritas, visando à realização desses procedimentos sob anestesia local, eliminando os custos de internação hospitalar e trazendo maior conforto aos pacientes. A proposta deste trabalho foi discutir os aspectos envolvidos na simplificação da técnica da ERMCA sob anestesia local por meio do relato de caso clínico-cirúrgico de paciente com 27 anos de idade. Conclui-se que o diagnóstico por meio da avaliação clínica e dos modelos de estudo é essencial para a indicação da ERMCA e esse procedimento proporciona boa previsibilidade na correção da deficiência transversal, com mínima morbidade. Além disso, a utilização de uma técnica minimamente invasiva é efetiva no tratamento de maxilas atrésicas, com índices de recidiva semelhantes aos das técnicas mais invasivas.

O uso de drogas anticoagulantes e antiplaquetárias orais em pacientes cirúrgicos ambulatoriais: revisão de literatura

The oral anticoagulants (AOC) and platelet antiagregants are drugs used for the prevention of thromboembolic phenomena, such as pulmonary embolism in patients with atrial fribrilation heart valves, thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. For patients who are undergoing surgical procedures-dentistry were asked to discontinue the use of anticoagulants until the value of the INR remained = 2.0, that in order to avoid trans and hemorrhages in the postoperative period. However, the AOC can cause the formation of a clot, leading to obstruction of blood pathways. Thus, it became doubtful the medicine for surgery, in which local hemostatic measures would be sufficient to promote hemostasis. Thus, the objective of the review was to evaluate the risk of bleeding in patients AOC users that are subjected to surgical procedures, through a bibliographical survey carried out in relevant clinical studies published between 1990 and 2012, by the MedlinePubMed data. In this review of literature was concluded that the benefit of thromboembolism prevention overcomes the risk hemorrhage, therefore, it is recommended to keep the dose of anticoagulant therapy unchanged for patients undergoing oral surgery and implant dentistry, using appropriate INR levels with the assistance of local hemostatic. In addition, a refined surgical technique should be performed in these patients. With respect to the most invasive oral surgery, with a risk of bleeding, treatment may be necessary in conjunction with the medical staff.

Boas práticas de laboratório e biossegurança: prevenção dos riscos ergonômicos

El control de los riesgos ergonómicos es parte del paquete de medidas de Buenas Prácticas de Laboratorio y Bioseguridad. De este modo, la mala postura, la iluminación o ventilación inadecuadas , prolongada jornada de trabajo, la monotonía y la actividad repetitiva, intensa rutina, el control de la productividad , el estrés y el trabajo por la noche son factores a los riesgos ergonómicos. Como se relacionan a los elementos físicos y de organización también pueden interferir con la comodidad y la salud del personal de laboratorio. Riesgos ergonómicos no sólo pueden generar trastornos psicológicos y fisiológicos que causan graves daños a la salud, sino también comprometer la productividad del laboratorio y reducir el equipo de seguridad , ya que producen cambios en el cuerpo y el estado emocional, tales como trastornos o lesiones relacionadas con el cansancio físico producido por el trabajo repetitivo, dolor muscular, alteraciones del sueño, diabetes, trastornos de los nervios , la taquicardia , las enfermedades del aparato digestivo (gastritis y úlcera ), tensión, ansiedad, problemas de espalda y la hipertensión. En este trabajo se propone una secuencia de actividad laboral (gimnasia) en el intervalo de tiempo pequeño, respetando las instalaciones y el espacio físico disponible en el ambiente del trabajo, como una estrategia para mejorar la calidad de vida laboral, para aumentar la productividad, mejorar la disposición a trabajar y para aumentar el conocimiento del cuerpo y de la interacción social.
