Prevalência de lesões de tornozelo nos jogadores de Futebol do Sporting Clube da Praia – época 2008/09

O presente trabalho inscreve-se no âmbito do curso de Licenciatura em Fisioterapia na Universidade Jean Piaget de Cabo Verde e visa essencialmente estudar os factores de risco das lesões do tornozelo contraídos pelos jogadores de futebol do Sporting Clube da Praia. Minghelli et al. (2012), apoiando-se em vários autores (Cohen et al., 1997; Reilly, 2003), referem que o futebol exige dos jogadores a aquisição de diversas vertentes físicas, como resistência, velocidade, força, agilidade e flexibilidade e se caracteriza pelo intenso contacto físico, movimentos curtos, rápidos e não contínuos como a aceleração, desaceleração e mudanças súbitas de direcção. Ainda, aludem que estas exigências físicas cada vez maiores obrigam os atletas a exercitarem-se próximo dos limites máximos de exaustão, levando uma maior predisposição à ocorrência de lesões. Em termos metodológicos, combinamos duas técnicas de recolha de dados empíricos – questionário e observação. Estes procedimentos foram efectuados no momento da realização do exame físico dos jogadores, dos testes especiais e específicos para a avaliação e do diagnóstico da articulação do tornozelo. O universo foi de 27 jogadores do Sporting Clube da Praia da época 2008/09. Os dados foram tratados no software estatístico SPSS, versão 16,0. Os resultados deste estudo indicam que as lesões da articulação do tornozelo são os traumatismos mais comuns em desportos, caracterizadas por um dano que tenha ocorrido em um ou mais dos ligamentos localizados na articulação do tornozelo, que ocorrem como resultado de movimentos ou stress repetitivos, mas também podem estar associadas com factores anatómicos como pronação excessiva ou alinhamento cavo no membro inferior, os quais caracterizam os piores tipos de lesão. Por outro lado, indicam que os factores predisponentes às lesões do tornozelo, muito em particular as entorses, podem ser separados em factores intrínsecos e extrínsecos. Os intrínsecos são inerentes ao próprio praticante, nos quais se incluem a recuperação inadequada, estrutura, peso, sobrecarga no membro dominante, lesão nervosa e processo degenerativo muscular, e desequilíbrio da força muscular. Os factores extrínsecos estão relacionados com o piso irregular, carga externa intensidade ou nível de treino, bem como a própria qualidade do calçado, muitas vezes inadequado para a prática desportiva em condições específicas. Esses dados permitem-nos ainda comprovar que a entorse foi a lesão mais contraída pelos referidos jogadores.

El fitoplancton de invierno en el crucero de estimación de biomasa de anchoveta 0708-09

Los volúmenes de plancton superficial fluctuaron entre 0,06 y 11,14 mL.m-3 localizados frente a Pisco y Paita, respectivamente, registrando un promedio general de 1,34 mL.m-3. El fitoplancton en superficie predominó en el 31% del área evaluada. El microplancton estuvo caracterizado por diatomeas pequeñas de afloramiento (Chaetoceros sociales, Ch. compressus, Ch. lorenzianus, Skeletonema costatum) y por especies de la fase intermedia de la sucesión (Coscinodiscus perforatus, C. centralis, Thalassionema frauenfeldii, Lithodesmium undulatum). La presencia de especies termófilas también fue representativa encontrándose cerca y lejos de la costa, destacando por su abundancia las diatomeas Planktoniella sol, Proboscia alata f. gracillima y Thalasiothrix longissima. La correlación significativa entre la biomasa planctónica y oxígeno (r=>0,5) sugirió una mayor actividad autotrófica en las zonas norte y sur. El indicador de ACF, Protoperidinium obtusum, presentó una distribución costera con una amplitud máxima hasta las 120 mn al sur de Chicama y Atico y C. praelongum indicador de ASS sólo fue registrado a 70 mn frente a Pucusana.

RNOP-09: pegylated liposomal doxorubicine and prolonged temozolomide in addition to radiotherapy in newly diagnosed glioblastoma--a phase II study.

BACKGROUND: Although Temozolomide is effective against glioblastoma, the prognosis remains dismal and new regimens with synergistic activity are sought for. METHODS: In this phase-I/II trial, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Caelyx, PEG-Dox) and prolonged administration of Temozolomide in addition to radiotherapy was investigated in 63 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. In phase-I, PEG-Dox was administered in a 3-by-3 dose-escalation regimen. In phase-II, 20 mg/m2 PEG-Dox was given once prior to radiotherapy and on days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle starting 4 weeks after radiotherapy. Temozolomide was given in a dose of 75 mg/m2 daily during radiotherapy (60 Gy) and 150-200 mg/m2 on days 1-5 of each 28-day cycle for 12 cycles or until disease progression. RESULTS: The toxicity of the combination of PEG-Dox, prolonged administration of Temozolomide, and radiotherapy was tolerable. The progression free survival after 12 months (PFS-12) was 30.2%, the median overall survival was 17.6 months in all patients including the ones from Phase-I. None of the endpoints differed significantly from the EORTC26981/NCIC-CE.3 data in a post-hoc statistical comparison. CONCLUSION: Together, the investigated combination is tolerable and feasible. Neither the addition of PEG-Dox nor the prolonged administration of Temozolomide resulted in a meaningful improvement of the patient's outcome as compared to the EORTC26981/NCIC-CE.3 data.

Hydrologic Simulations of the Maquoketa River Watershed Using SWAT Working Paper 09-WP 49,June 2009

This paper describes the application of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model to the Maquoketa River watershed, located in northeast Iowa. The inputs to the model were obtained from the Environmental Protection Agency’s geographic information/database system called Better Assessment Science Integrating Point and Nonpoint Sources (BASINS). Climatic data from six weather stations located in and around the watershed, and measured streamflow data from a U.S. Geological Survey gage station at the watershed outlet were used in the sensitivity analysis of SWAT model parameters as well as its calibration and validation for watershed hydrology and streamflow. A sensitivity analysis was performed using an influence coefficient method to evaluate surface runoff and base flow variations in response to changes in model input hydrologic parameters. The curve number, evaporation compensation factor, and soil available water capacity were found to be the most sensitive parameters among eight selected parameters when applying SWAT to the Maquoketa River watershed. Model calibration, facilitated by the sensitivity analysis, was performed for the period 1988 through 1993, and validation was performed for 1982 through 1987. The model performance was evaluated by well-established statistical methods and was found to explain at least 86% and 69% of the variability in the measured stream flow data for the calibration and validation periods, respectively. This initial hydrologic modeling analysis will facilitate future applications of SWAT to the Maquoketa River watershed for various watershed analysis, including water quality.

El aprendiz de rapsoda, o de cuando Homero cruzó la laguna estigia (Lucianus, Cont. 7)

In Charon or the Inspectors we find the ferryman of the underworld on earth, talking to the god Hermes about wealth, happiness, and the vain human striving for material goods. The piece has been considered to be an example of Menippean satire inside the corpus of Lucian"s works. Homeric poetry is always in the background. Lucian uses Homeric verses, or rather, verses structured in the Homeric manner, to formulate his critical view of the mortal world; in addition, he puts these verses into the mouth of a character who must temporarily give up his job as a ferryman in order to practise the art of rhapsody. This paper analyses a textual problem: the two variants in Cont. 7 referring to Homer in the manuscript tradition. In a context in which Lucian wants to make fun not just of foolish humans but also of the Greek poet par excellence, the reading of the ueteres seems more appropriate because it illustrates better Lucian"s parodic intention in recalling Homer and in trying to adapt form and content to the Greek tradition.

Interstate 74 Quad Cities Corridor Study Scott County, Iowa and Rock Island County, Illinois Project Number IM-74-1(122)0-13-82 FHWA-IOWA-EIS-09-01-F, February 2009

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Iowa and Illinois Departments of Transportation (Iowa DOT and IDOT) have identified the Selected Alternative for improving Interstate 74 (I-74) from its southern terminus at Avenue of the Cities (23rd Avenue) in Moline, Illinois to its northern terminus one mile north of the I-74 interchange with 53rd Street in Davenport, Iowa. The Selected Alternative identified and discussed in this Record of Decision is the preferred alternative identified in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). The purpose of the proposed improvements is to improve capacity, travel reliability, and safety along I-74 between its termini, and provide consistency with local land use planning goals. The need for the proposed improvements to the I-74 corridor is based on a combination of factors related to providing better transportation service and sustaining economic development.
