Aims. The aims of this study were to assess the internal reliability (internal consistency), construct validity, sensitivity and ceiling and floor effects of the Brazilian-Portuguese version of the Impact of Event Scale (IES). Design. Methodological research design. Method. The Brazilian-Portuguese version of the IES was applied to a group of 91 burned patients at three times: the first week after the burn injury (time one), between the fourth and the sixth months (time two) and between the ninth and the 12th months (time three). The internal consistency, construct validity (convergent and dimensionality), sensitivity and ceiling and floor effects were tested. Results. Cronbach`s alpha coefficients showed high internal consistency for the total scale (0 center dot 87) and for the domains intrusive thoughts (0 center dot 87) and avoidance responses (0 center dot 76). During the hospitalisation (time one), the scale showed low and positive correlations with pain measures immediately before (r = 0 center dot 22; p < 0 center dot 05) and immediately after baths and dressings (r = 0 center dot 21; p < 0 center dot 05). After the discharge, we found strong and negative correlations with self-esteem (r = -0 center dot 52; p < 0 center dot 01), strong and positive with depression (r = 0 center dot 63; p < 0 center dot 01) and low and negative with the Bodily pain (r = -0 center dot 24; p < 0 center dot 05), Social functioning (r = -0 center dot 34; p < 0 center dot 01) and Mental health (r = -0 center dot 27; p < 0 center dot 05) domains of the SF-36 at time two. Regarding the sensitivity, no statistically significant differences were observed between mean scale scores according to burned body surface (p = 0 center dot 21). The floor effect was observed in most of the IES items. Conclusion. The adapted version of the scale showed to be reliable and valid to assess postburn reactions on the impact of the event in the group of patients under analysis. Relevance to clinical practice. The Impact of Event Scale can be used in research and clinical practice to assess nursing interventions aimed at decreasing stress during rehabilitation.

For the optimal design of plate heat exchangers (PHEs), an accurate thermal-hydraulic model that takes into account the effect of the flow arrangement on the heat load and pressure drop is necessary. In the present study, the effect of the flow arrangement on the pressure drop of a PHE is investigated. Thirty two different arrangements were experimentally tested using a laboratory scale PHE with flat plates. The experimental data was used for (a) determination of an empirical correlation for the effect of the number of passes and number of flow channels per pass on the pressure drop; (b) validation of a friction factor model through parameter estimation; and (c) comparison with the simulation results obtained with a CFD (computational fluid dynamics) model of the PHE. All three approaches resulted in a good agreement between experimental and predicted values of pressure drop. Moreover, the CFD model is used for evaluating the flow maldistribution in a PHE with two channels Per Pass. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

ABSTRACT - Background: From a public health perspective, the study of socio-demographic factors related to physical activity is important in order to identify subgroups for intervention programs. Purpose: This study also aimed to identify the prevalence and the socio-demographic correlates related with the achievement of recommended physical activity levels. Methods: Using data from the European Social Survey round 6, physical activity and socio-demographic characteristics were collected from 39278 European adults (18271 men, 21006 women), aged 18-64 years, from 28 countries in 2012. Meeting physical activity guidelines was assessed using World Health Organization criteria. Results: 64.50% (63.36% men, 66.49% women) attained physical activity recommended levels. The likelihood of attaining physical activity recommendations was higher in age group of 55-64 years (men: OR=1.22, p<0.05; women: OR=1.66, p<0.001), among those who had completed high school (men: OR=1.28, p<0.01; women: OR=1.26, p<0.05), among those who lived in rural areas (men: OR=1.20, p<0.001; women: OR=1.10, p<0.05), and among those who had 3 or more people living at home (men: OR=1.40, p<0.001; women: OR=1.43, p<0.001). On the other hand, attaining physical activity recommendations was negatively associated with being unemployed (men: OR=0.70, p<0.001; women: OR=0.87, p<0.05), being a student (men: OR=0.56, p<0.001; women: OR=0.64, p<0.01), being a retired person (men: OR=0.86, p<0.05) and with having a higher household income (OR=0.80, p<0.001; women: OR=0.81, p<0.01). Conclusion: This research helped clarify that, as the promotion of physical activity is critical to sustain health and prevent disease, socio-demographic factors are important to consider when planning the increase of physical activity.

OBJETIVO: Comparar, entre homens e mulheres hipercolesterolêmicos, a prevalência dos fatores de risco e a resposta ao tratamento com pravastatina. MÉTODOS: Avaliados 486 homens e 368 mulheres, sendo 230 homens e 187 mulheres, que receberam 10mg de pravastatina por 3 meses. RESULTADOS: Houve diferença respectivamente entre mulheres e homens em relação a: hipertensão arterial (45,5% vs 40,8%; p=0,0012), hipertrofia ventricular esquerda (33,0% vs 22,0%; p=0,0041), sedentarismo (94,8% vs 87,8%; p=0,0005), tabagismo (43,0% vs 61,8%; p<0,0001), escores de Framingham (20,0±7,1 vs 16,0±7,6 p<0,001), HDL-C (43,0±11,0 vs 38,0±9,0mg/dL; p<0,001), triglicérides-TG (216,0±115,0 vs 271,0± 172,0mg/dL; p<0,001) e Ãndices de Castelli (IC) I e II (7,7±2,6 vs 8,6±3,2; p=0,002 e 5,0±1,5 vs 5,5±2,0; p=0,015). Sob ação da pravastatina, houve maior redução nos TG (32,0 vs 21,0% p<0,05) e IC I (-41,0% vs -37,0%; p<0,05) e II (-40,0 vs -38,0%; p<0,05) nos homens. CONCLUSÃO: Homens e mulheres diferiram nos fatores de risco e resposta ao tratamento com a pravastatina.

FUNDAMENTO: Poucos estudos compararam a atividade inflamatória entre pacientes diabéticos e não-diabéticos com sÃndrome coronariana aguda, e ainda não foi publicado nenhum somente com portadores de angina instável (AI). OBJETIVO: Este estudo teve dois objetivos. Em primeiro lugar, comparar os nÃveis séricos de proteÃna C reativa (PCR) e interleucina - 6 (IL-6) em pacientes diabéticos e não-diabéticos com angina instável (AI) para determinar se a diferença na atividade inflamatória justifica o pior prognóstico nos pacientes diabéticos. Em segundo, avaliar a correlação entre os marcadores inflamatórios e o perfil metabólico em pacientes diabéticos e entre a resposta inflamatória e os desfechos hospitalares, como morte, infarto agudo do miocárdio, insuficiência cardÃaca congestiva e tempo de hospitalização. MÉTODOS: Estudo de coorte prospectivo de 90 pacientes consecutivos admitidos na Unidade de Dor Torácica com angina instável. Os pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos: diabéticos e não-diabéticos. Os nÃveis séricos de PCR e IL-6, o perfil metabólico e a contagem de leucócitos foram obtidos na chegada ao hospital. RESULTADOS: Dos pacientes analisados, 42 (47%) eram diabéticos (idade 62 ± 9) e 48 (53%) não eram diabéticos (idade 63 ± 12). Não foram encontradas diferenças entre a mediana da PCR (1,78 vs. 2,23 mg/l, p = 0,74) e da IL-6 (0 vs. 0 pg/ml, p = 0,31) entre os dois grupos. Houve uma correlação positiva entre PCR e colesterol total (rs = 0, 21, p = 0, 05), PCR e colesterol LDL (r s = 0,22, p = 0,04) e PCR e contagem de leucócitos (r s = 0,32, p = 0,02) nos dois grupos. Nenhuma associação foi encontrada entre os marcadores inflamatórios e os desfechos hospitalares. CONCLUSÃO: Não encontramos diferença na atividade inflamatória entre os pacientes diabéticos e não-diabéticos com AI, o que indica que esse quadro clÃnico pode equilibrar a atividade inflamatória entre os dois grupos e aumentar a concentração de marcadores inflamatórios de fase aguda, independentemente do estado metabólico.
