Atividade diur��tica dos extratos aquoso e etan��lico de Bugre (Hedyosmum brasiliense Miq.) e seus efeitos na press��o arterial m��dia em testes pr��-cl��nicos

The object of this study was assess through pre-clinical tests, the possible diuretic activity and the effects on the mean arterial pressure of the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of branches of ���bugre���, Hedyosmum brasiliense Miq., species used in the treatment of renal and urinary disorders The tests were made in males anesthetized Wistar rats and randomly distributed into 4 experimental groups: Group I ��� Water control, group II ��� treated with aqueous extract (EA) of ���bugre���, Group III ��� water control + ���tween 80���, group IV ��� treated with ethanol extract (EE) and ���bugre���. All groups were subjected to experimental protocol, composed of three periods: Balance (40 minutes), Basal (30 minutes) and Experimental (90 minutes), occurring the urine collection every 30 minutes, from the basal period and measuring blood pressure every 10 minutes. The results presented validate the ethnobotany indication of the use of H. brasiliense tea in the treatment of renal problems, because increased significantly the urinary flow in anesthetized Wistar rats (diuretic effect), without changing significantly (p>0,05) the arterial pressure

Influ��ncia da escolaridade em idosos institucionalizados e n��o-institucionalizados

Com o aumento da popula����o idosa, aumentou-se tamb��m a curiosidade dos pesquisadores em investigar sobre quest��es relacionadas ao envelhecimento. Este �� um processo que acarreta altera����es motoras, funcionais e/ou cognitivas nos idosos e se associadas a uma baixa escolaridade podem levar a uma depend��ncia funcional dos mesmos e com isso evoluindo para uma poss��vel institucionaliza����o se combinada com outros fatores como por exemplo, disponibilidade dos familiares. Essa mudan��a de ambiente em que o idoso �� submetido pode lhe trazer alguns danos como depress��o, perda cognitva, diminui����o dos n��veis de atividade f��sica al��m de uma perda ainda maior da funcionalidade. Diante disso a pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar poss��veis rela����es da escolaridade, com funcionalidade, n��vel de atividade f��sica, sintomas depressivos e cogni����o em idosos institucionalizados e n��o institucionalizados fisicamente ativos, bem como comparar tais variaveis entre os grupos. Participaram deste estudo dois grupos: um grupo de 53 idosos institucionalizados de Rio Claro-SP, distribuidos em oito institui����es de longa perman��ncia, representando 20% da referida popula����o. O outro grupo possui 53 idosos ativos da comunidade, participantes de um programa de atividade f��sica para a terceira idade (PROFIT) da Unesp de Rio Claro-SP. Foi utilizada uma ampla bateria de testes e question��rios para avaliar funcionalidade, n��vel de atividade f��sica, sintomas depressivos e cogni����o (estado cognitivo geral, fun����es executivas, mem��ria, aten����o). Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente com base na estat��stica descritiva (m��dias, os desvios-padr��o, valores m��nimos e m��ximos, as medianas e os quartis superior e inferior) visando uma descri����o geral do estado de ambas as popula����es. Para a an��lise entre os grupos foram utilizados os testes t de Student e U de Mann-Whitney e para... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletr��nico abaixo)

Testes de Controle de Qualidade em Sistema de Processamento Computadorizado FUJI

Computed Radiography (CR) is a term used to describe the system that electronically records a radiographic image. CR systems use receivers or IP (imaging plate) to capture the analog signals and then allow the readers to do the image processing and converted into digital information. With the increasing expansion of the CR for medical diagnostics it is necessary that these systems receive the same type of monitoring related to Quality Control and Acceptance to the conventional processing systems. The current legislation fails to specify the parameters and procedures to be tested, allowing that somehow, some equipment is not fully able to use in clinical routine. In this project we used the standard AAPM Report Number 93, which is already fully established outside the country and displays all test parameters in CR. From there were chosen three types of tests that were performed in a satisfactory sampling of IP��s. With this procedure it was possible to establish which of those IP's should be out of use, which reveals the important purpose of the study, demonstrating the need for Quality Control Testing and Acceptance in Computerized Radiography as soon as possible are included in the legislation regulator in the country

A interfer��ncia do estado de humor na melhora dos componentes da capacidade funcional em idosos

Mood States are feelings auto regulation deliver to individual better quality of life and healthy aging. The declines of the aging process can be minimized with the regular practice of physical activity and systematized. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a dance program in mood states, depressive symptoms and functional capacity in elderly participants of PROFIT. METHOD: The sample was composed of 20 elderly people. The Training Group was formed by 15 elders who participated in a protocol of dance with duration of 1 hour, three times per week, for 12 weeks and the Control Group, composed of 5 elderly, did not attend any program of physical activity. The participants were evaluated by the List of States of Mind Reduced and Illustrated, Geriatric Depression Scale and the battery of tests of AAHPERD. For the mood states was used non-parametric analysis, according to the technique of Binomial Analysis. To compare the components of functional capacity between the groups was used analysis of variance for repeated measures two-way ANOVA and the level of significance was set at 5 %. RESULTS: The functional components remained favorable, highlighting Agility (pre = 21.03 �� 1.64 sec./ post = 18.63 �� 2.26 sec.) And aerobic endurance (pre = 495.94 �� 46.48 sec. / post = 448.01 �� 12.27 sec.). In the comparison between positive and negative functional levels and mood states showed no relationship between these variables, dealing with different aspects and has influence one another. The state post-dancing sessions mood in GT were more positive even for elderly patients with depressive symptoms even unproven statistically, depressive symptoms were maintained or reduced mostly. CONCLUSION: The dance practice maintains the functionality of components; modifies mood states to positive levels and reduces or prevents the onset of depressive symptoms and complications in elderly

Efeitos do Square Stepping Exercise nas capacidades funcionais e fun����es executivas em frequentadores do Centro do Idoso de Rio Claro - SP

With aging process, there is a natural biological decline that eventually may lead to a functional and cognitive decrease. It is important that older people preserve these functions so they can live an independent life. Some declines in old people who attend Geriatric Day-Care tend to be more severe and recurrent. The Square Stepping Exercise (SSE) is a program created by Shigematsu & Okura (2006), in order to improve the balance of its practitioners, thereby decreasing the risk of falls. It is also believed that the SSE stimulates cognition, and thus, executive functions. The present study, with a longitudinal design, evaluated the effects of SSE in balance performance and executive functions of elderly from the ���Centro-Dia do Idoso Padre Casagrande��� from Rio Claro ��� SP. A group of 15 people (GT, n = 15), which performed a four month SSE intervention, and a control group (GC; n = 17) answered the following evaluations.: Questionnaire Registration Data and Anamnesis, Questionnaire Baeck Modified for Elderly, Mini-Mental State Examination, Modified Card Sorting Test, Geriatric Depressive Scale, Questionnaire Pfeffer for Instrumental Activities, Berg Balance Scale and Time Up and Go Test. Although significant improvements have not been observed in GT, the results showed a decline in instrumental activities performance in GC, as well as maintenance in executive functions and balance, and also an improvement in depressive symptoms in GT. This way, Square Stepping Exercise can be considered an activity that helps maintaining functional capacity, among them balance, and executive function in elderly people.
