The influence of the use of stabilizer bracelet in a child with choreoathetoid cerebral palsy

Introduction: The use of stabilizer bracelet is a frequent treatment for movement disorders to strengthen muscles and adjust coordination. Still questions remain regarding the benefi t of using loads to decrease involuntary movements and the best load and placement. Objective: To measure the infl uence of the stabilizer bracelet on the kinematics and spatiotemporal parameters in planar movements performed by the upper limb. Method: One child, who has the spastic diplegy type of cerebral palsy with choreoathetoid component, and a control child without cerebral palsy, both female and 7 years old, were subjected to analysis of movements in relation to displacement, velocity, linear acceleration, and the calculation of mean square error (MSE) with and without use of stabilizer bracelet with loads of 25, 50, and 75% of the supported maximum load. Results: After comparing data between subjects, a difference was found between patient and control in all situations and variables. An inter-individual comparison using 25% of the maximum load showed the smallest difference with the NDE. Discussion and Conclusion: This therapeutic option is low cost, easy to apply, and does not signifi cantly interfere in the aesthetic of the individual. Therefore, physiotherapists may prescribe this for activities that require greater control of the upper limb because for the case studied the upper limb movement was more effi cient with the use of the stabilizer bracelet.

Desenvolvimento, otimização e caracterização física de um novo sistema multi-sensores de Biosusceptometria de Corrente Alternada (BAC) para obtenção de imagens biomagnéticas

A novel AC Biosusceptometry (ACB) system with thirteen sensors it was implemented and characterized in vitro using magnetic phantoms. The system presenting coils in a coaxial arrangement with one pair of excitation coil outside and thirteen pairs of detection coils inside. A first-order gradiometric configuration was utilized for optimal detection of magnetic signals. Several physical parameters such as baseline, number of turns, excitation field and diameters were studied for improvement of the signal/noise ratio. This system exhibits an enhanced sensitivity and spatial resolution, due to the higher density of sensors/area. In the future those characteristics will turn possible to obtain images of magnetic marker or tracer in the gastrointestinal tract focusing on physiological and pharmaceutical studies. ACB emerged due to its interesting nature, noninvasiveness and low cost to investigate gastrointestinal parameters and this system can contribute for more accurate interpretation of biomedical signals and images

Desenvolvimento de metodologia para a obtenção da cubicagem de madeira em toras empilhadas através de imagens digitais

Obtaining accurate estimates of the volume of stacked wood is important in view of the increasing value of wood as raw material. Therefore, the forest companies have become increasingly concerned about the methods currently used to convert cubic meters for stereo. In this context, emerged the need of optimizing the measurement process and accuracy of the volume of stacked wood. For this, companies have been testing methods with greater efficiency, speed and low operating cost. Existing methods made through approximate equations, and also by determining the conversion factor, called the stacking factor (Fe), are questioned, due to errors and inaccuracies. The use of digital photographs is an alternative method that would minimize operator intervention, allowing greater control and speed the process, thus eliminating part of the imprecision of the traditional method. The use of the method is viable, due to present an error of about 10% while traditional methods showed an error of 17%

Identificação de bactérias láticas e otimização da produção de ácido lático

O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar o micro-organismo Y15C previamente isolado no laboratório de microbiologia industrial, da UNESP de Rio Claro, utilizando técnicas bioquímicas, além de otimizar a produção de ácido lático por meio de fermentação batelada simples e batelada alimentada. Considerando o potencial do micro-organismo para a produção de D(-) ácido lático, com 100% de pureza, isômero usado na síntese de polímeros empregados na produção de diversos materiais resistentes e biodegradáveis, foi feita a otimização do meio de cultura, tendo como fonte de carbono a manipueira. A manipueira por ser um resíduo do processamento da mandioca que contém grande quantidade de amido e quando hidrolisado pode ser uma fonte de carbono de baixo custo, quando utilizado pelo micro-organismo. O isolado Y15C foi identificado como Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp delbrueckii, por meio de testes bioquímicos. Em relação à otimização dos parâmetros de fermentação, usando planejamento experimental, observou-se que a adição de componentes ao meio de cultivo, assim como a variação da temperatura não aumentou significamente a produção de ácido lático. Desta forma optou-se por trabalhar com as menores concentrações de AMM (1,6 mL/L) e citrato (0,96 g/L) e maior temperatura (43,4ºC). Para que haja aumento na produção de ácido lático podem ser realizados diversos tipos de fermentações, no caso deste trabalho foram comparados dois tipos de fermentação, batelada simples e batelada com alimentação constante. A maior concentração de ácido lático (41,6 g/L) foi observada que quando utilizada fermentação do tipo de fermentação em batelada... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Centro de ressocialização para animais abandonados

Um grande problema que é encontrado nas cidades pelo mundo todo, é o abandono dos animais domésticos pelas ruas, que vagam sem destino, em sua maioria doente ou ferida e que são suscetíveis a contraírem doenças transmissíveis ao homem. O presente trabalho apresenta uma proposta da criação de um Centro de Ressocialização para Animais Abandonados na cidade de Presidente Prudente, que faz uma crítica principalmente à relação entre homem e animal nos dias atuais. Esta proposta busca alternativas para controlar a população de animais domésticos errantes pelas ruas da cidade e desta forma, as zoonoses que são transmissíveis ao homem, através de diversos serviços relacionados ao tratamento clínico veterinário, sempre levando em consideração os Direitos de Proteção aos Animais. Este espaço busca ser o apoio necessário para o Centro de Controle de Zoonoses de Presidente Prudente (CCZ/PP), para evitar que a superlotação cause a matança indiscriminada de cães e gatos sadios, que serão recolhidos e até mesmo encaminhados diretamente do CCZ/PP para o Centro de Ressocialização. Após serem tratados, os animais receberão todo o suporte para o encaminhamento à adoção. Este centro irá oferecer programas de educação para a população a respeito da posse responsável de animais domésticos e também o incentivo à adoção. Vale ressaltar que o espaço criado terá infraestrutura para o atendimento clínico veterinário para a comunidade, oferecendo serviços a baixo custo para aqueles que possuem menor renda e também a esterilização solidária como forma de controle populacional dos animais

Uso de sistemas construídos de áreas alagadas (Constructed Wetland System - CWS) para tratamento de efluentes

A large proportion of fresh water is greatly impaired due to increasing pollution; this could be minimized through the expansion of investment in sanitation programs. But the major problem faced by third world countries and developing ones in this respect, is the high cost of projects and their implementation. In an attempt to find a simple technology, efficient and inexpensive, this study aimed to verify the effectiveness of using constructed wetland systems (CWS) for removal of bacteria and nutrients from sanitary sewer effluent from the STS Piracicamirim - Piracicaba - SP. The installation of prototypes was followed, and testing prior to regularize the flow held, but due to malfunction of these and outages of the STS activity can not evaluate the effectiveness of both as to the parameters proposed: temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), nitrite, nitrate, ammonia, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, chemical oxygen demand (COD), sulfide, sulfate, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total coliform and Escherichia coli. To establish results about the effectiveness of these types if the system were conducted literature reviews of papers published with the same theme. Analysis of these results showed fairly good efficiencies in wastewater treatment, especially for nutrients and coliforms
