Efeito do treinamento com pesos na pressão arterial de repouso em idosas normotensas

INTRODUCTION: Resistance training (RT) has been widely used for older adults in order to minimize or reverse the deleterious effects of aging in the neuromuscular system. However, the potential benefits of RT on arterial blood pressure and heart rate at rest in older adults remain controversial. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effect of eight weeks of RT on systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) in older women without hypertension. METHODS: Seventeen women (aged 66.0 ± 5.8 years) without previous experience in RT were randomly assigned to either a training (TG, n = 10) or control (CG, n = 7) groups. Hemodynamic parameters at rest were evaluated by auscultatory method (mercury sphygmomanometer) and HR monitor (Polar), before and after eight weeks of experimental period. RESULTS: Reductions attributable to RT were found only to SBP (-13.4 mmHg, p <0.01). Although significant reductions were observed for DBP and MBP, the analysis of covariance showed no interaction Group x Time significant. CONCLUSION: RT proved an effective training to promote adaptations in the cardiovascular system of older women without hypertension. Eight weeks of RT can significantly reduce SBP at rest in older women.

Medidas automatizadas de psicrômetro de termopar aspirado versus não aspirado

The thermocouple is used for obtaining the air temperature with sensitivity and optimum precision, beyond great advantage over the mercury or alcohol thermometer, because it generates electrical signals that can be stored in automated systems. However, when it comes to obtaining the relative humidity from thermocouple, it is needed caution due to other factors involved. In this study two sets of thermocouple psychrometers, aspirated and no-aspirated were evaluated, relative to a Vaisala set, from 17 to 31/01/2008 (15 days). From measurements of dry and wet bulb temperatures, the relative humidity value was obtained, and it was possible to compare them with the Vaisala set measurements. The two types of psychrometers showed precision and accuracy in measurements of air temperature, and only precision in measurements of relative humidity, being that the aspirated psychrometer presented more precision. Despite the no-aspirated psychrometer has lesser precision in measurements, it is more robust because it is independent of a 12 VDC micro-fan, making it, a sensor with lesser risk of inadequate measures. Both aspirated and no-aspirated psychrometers do not measure accurately the relative air humidity during night period.

Assessment of the breakdown products of solar/UV induced photolytic degradation of food dye tartrazine

The food dye tartrazine (CI 19140) was exposed to UV irradiation from an artificial source, a mercury vapor lamp, and a natural one, sunlight. It was observed that conditions such as energy dose, irradiation time, pH and initial dye concentration affected its discoloration. There was 100% of color removal, after 30 min of irradiation, when a dye solution 1 x 10(-5) mol L-1 was submitted to an energy dose of 37.8 J cm(-2). Liquid Chromatography coupled to Diode Array Detection and Mass Spectrometry confirmed the cleavage of the chromophore group and the formation of five by-products at low concentration. Although by-products were formed, the Salmonella/microsome mutagenicity assay performed for both, the dye solution at a dose of 5.34 mg/plate and the solutions obtained after exposure to UV irradiation, did not present mutagenic activity for TA98 and TA100 with and without S9.

Thermal study of the solid-state reactions on Pt-15%Rh/Hg system

Thermogravimetry (TG), energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mapping surface and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used for the study of solid-state reaction on Pt-15%Rh with electrodeposited mercury. The results suggest when heated the mercury film react with the Pt-15%Rh alloy to form intermetallics having different thermal stabilities indicated by three mass loss steps. The first mass loss step occurs between room temperature and 184 degrees C only the bulk Hg is removed and PtHg4, PtHg2 and RhHg2 were characterized by XRD. The second step, between 184 and 271 degrees C, was attributed to PtHg4 decomposition with formation of PtHg2 stabilized by RhHg2. The third step, between 271 and 340 degrees C, was attributed to decomposition of a solid-solution of PtHg2/RhHg2. The fourth step, between 340 and 600 degrees C, was ascribed to: (1) a thermal decomposition of PtHg2, formed by a PtHg eutectoid reaction (similar to 340 degrees C) on the surface and (2) Hg removal from a solid solution of Pt-15%Rh(Hg).
