In order to evaluate the distribution of dermatophytes in Porto Alegre, the capital of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, they were isolated from the skin, hairs and nails samples and retrospectively analyzed from June 1981 to June 1995, in two different institutions in the city of Porto Alegre: (i) the Serviço de Micologia do Instituto de Pesquisas Biológicas Jandyr Maya Faillace, da Secretaria de Saúde e Meio Ambiente do Rio Grande do Sul which attends the low income population (low and middle classes) and, (ii) Laboratório Weinmann, a clinical pathology laboratory which attends predominantly the higher income population (middle and upper classes), both which attend in the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre. The dermatophyte predominance of Trichophyton rubrum was confirmed (55.33%) followed by T. mentagrophytes (21.46%). The data obtained were compared with the existing prevalence data which were collected in the interior of the state over a period of 32 years (1960-1992). T. verrucosum, T. simii, Microsporum persicolor, T. schöenleinii, M. nanum and M. cookei were isolated in the interior and have not been found in the capital so far. On the other side, T. violaceum was, isolated in the capital and has not been found in the interior so far.

O presente trabalho visa apresentar a temática da otimização da produção de corte laser numa empresa do ramo da indústria metalomecânica, denominada Sermec Laser e situada no concelho da Maia no Distrito do Porto. Para alcançar este objetivo foi necessário conhecer o funcionamento atual do processo, como por exemplo, os seus intervenientes, as taxas de ocupação do equipamento de corte a laser e os procedimentos. Só depois de ser explorada essa vertente será possível desenvolver um plano com vista a melhorar esse processo. Este projeto espera criar um plano de melhoria que será testado e, quando for validado, será implementado. As melhorias propostas por este plano passam pelo aumento da eficiência do processo de corte a laser e a alteração de parte do layout da empresa de forma a facilitar e agilizar este mesmo processo. O objetivo final será acrescentar mais valor ao processo, reduzindo os seus desperdícios. Com esta melhoria a empresa ficará a ganhar, pois irá produzir de forma mais ajustada às suas necessidades.

Due to the lack of studies about neurocysticercosis in the South of Brazil, an investigation was conducted to determine the percentage of suspected cases of neurocysticercosis in computed tomography diagnoses in Santa Maria, RS, from January 1997 to December 1998. Of 6300 computed tomographies (CT) of the skull performed at the private Hospital de Caridade Astrogildo de Azevedo, 80, i.e., 1.27% were suspected of neurocysticercosis. Fifty were women (62.5%) and 30 were men (37.5%). The most frequent radiological manifestation indicating neurocysticercosis was the presence of calcifications (isolated or associated), with a 95% rate (76 cases), while the presence of hypodense lesions reached a 5% rate (4 cases). After routine analysis, each CT was evaluated again and the suspected cases were confirmed. The percentage of suspected cases of neurocysticercosis detected by CT in the present study carried out in Santa Maria was considered low (1.27%). This can be explained by the fact that tomography is not accessible to the economically underprivileged population of Santa Maria. We hope that the present study can alert the population and the professionals to the fact that neurocysticercosis is a more frequent disease than indicated by the few diagnoses made.

Com a necessidade de encontrar uma forma de ligar componentes de forma mais vantajosa, surgiram as ligações adesivas. Nos últimos anos, a utilização de juntas adesivas em aplicações industriais tem vindo a aumentar, substituindo alguns métodos de ligação tradicionais, por apresentarem vantagens tais como, redução de concentração de tensões, reduzido peso e facilidade de processamento/fabrico. O seu estudo permite prever a sua resistência e durabilidade. Este trabalho refere-se ao estudo de juntas de sobreposição simples (JSS), nas quais são aplicados os adesivos comerciais que variam desde frágeis e rígidos, como o caso do Araldite® AV138, até adesivos mais dúcteis, como o Araldite® 2015 e o Sikaforce® 7888. Estes são aplicados em substratos de alumínio (AL6082-T651) em juntas com diferentes geometrias e diferentes comprimentos de sobreposição (L), sendo sujeitos a esforços de tracção. Foi feita uma análise dos valores experimentais fornecidos e uma posterior comparação destes com diferentes métodos numéricos baseados em Elementos Finitos (EF). A comparação foi feita por uma análise de Modelos de Dano Coesivo (MDC) e segundo os critérios baseados em tensões e deformações do Método de Elementos Finitos Extendido (MEFE). A utilização destes métodos numéricos capazes de simular o comportamento das juntas poderá levar a uma poupança de recursos e de tempo. A análise por MDC revelou que este método é bastante preciso, excepto para os adesivos que sejam bastante dúcteis. A aplicação de uma outra lei coesiva pode solucionar esse problema. Por sua vez a análise por MEFE demonstrou que esta técnica não é particularmente adequada para o crescimento de dano em modo misto e, comparativamente com o MDC, a sua precisão é bastante inferior.

Signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) performance of a multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing ultra-wideband system with residual timing offset is investigated. To do so, an exact mathematical derivation of the SIR of this system is derived. It becomes obvious that, unlike a cyclic prefixing based system, a zero padding based system is sensitive to residual timing offset.

Parasitic infections caused by intestinal protozoan and helminths affect more than two billion people worldwide and chemotherapy is the most commonly used therapeutic procedure. Considering the problems created by parasitic infections and the incorrect use of drugs, the aim of this work was to detect the frequency of enteroparasites infection and to estimate the use of chemotherapeutic agents in children living in the periphery of the city of Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil. Ninety-six preschool age children, who had parasitological exams and who used antiparasitic drugs, were analyzed. The efficacy of treatment was evaluated by stool examination repeated six months after treatment. The same diagnostic test was used to evaluate parasitological cure, which was defined as absence of eggs and cysts in the stool. From these children, 79 (82.3%) were contaminated by some species of parasite, the most prevalent were Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura and Giardia lamblia. The most commonly used drugs were mebendazole (86% of prescriptions) and metronidazole (30.3%). The cure rate in the 79 children, examined 6 months after treatment, was 65.3% for A. lumbricoides and 66.1% for T. trichiura. This study suggests that a continuous education program regarding the prevention and treatment of parasitic infections is an essential tool for their eradication.

The treatment of vascular lesions of the tongue is a very challenging procedure since the maintenance of the lingual tissue is of critical importance. Numerous treatment options have been described in literature but the Nd:YAG Laser appears to be one of the safest therapeutic options. We described a successful treatment of vascular lesions of the tongue with an excellent clinical result after only one treatment session with the Nd:YAG laser, with conservation of the lingual tissue and its functionality.

Resistance of the dengue vector to temephos stimulated its substitution for Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) since 2001 in Brazil. The persistence of the two Bti formulations employed at that time by the Health Ministry, Vectobac G and Aquabac G, was assayed under laboratory and outdoor conditions. Both formulations were tested at 0.2 g/10 liters of water, the same concentration applied in the field for vector control. The tests were done against Ae. aegypti third instar larvae (Rockefeller strain). In the laboratory, Vectobac G and Aquabac G caused at least 95% mortality until 101 and 45 days after treatment, respectively. In the outdoor assays, test containers of different materials were treated with either formulation and placed in a shaded area. Larvae were introduced each 3-6 days and mortality was recorded 24 and 48 hours later. In the first set of assays, performed in June 2001, mortality levels of 70% or more were attained for 2-5 weeks for both formulations in all containers. The exception was for the iron one that rusted, resulting in low mortality after seven days. In the second set of assays (August 2001), 70% mortality was attained for just 1-2 weeks for all the containers and both formulations.
