Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar a variabilidade circadiana da temperatura timpânica, oral e axilar, considerando o ângulo de medida. Realizou-se em um hospital de ensino HC-Unicamp, na cidade de Campinas-SP. Os dados foram coletados a cada duas horas, por dois dias consecutivos, a partir do horário de vigília até as 22 horas, nas enfermarias de Cardiologia, Geral de Adultos e Gastroclínica. Os resultados mostraram que as medidas dos períodos matutino e vespertino, comparadas com as do período noturno, pela análise de variância, houve diferença significativa com p-value = 0,0001. O teste de Tukey confirmou a diferença no que se refere ao nível de significância µ =0,05. Identificou-se que as medidas do termômetro timpânico mostraram temperaturas mais elevadas em relação aos outros termômetros, confirmando os dados das literaturas internacionais e também demonstrando que a curva de ritmicidade circadiana foi similar à obtida pelas medidas do termômetro oral durante o período de vigília.

Objetivos: observar o comportamento da pressão arterial entre gestantes normotensas e hipertensas, determinando a presença ou não da queda noturna, a adesão ao método e possíveis complicações. Métodos: monitorização ambulatorial da pressão arterial em dois momentos distintos da gravidez, em 17 gestantes normotensas e 14 hipertensas crônicas, todas atendidas no Hospital das Clínicas da UFMG. Utilizou-se o método oscilométrico para as comparações entre os grupos. Resultados: tanto as gestantes normotensas quanto as hipertensas apresentaram queda noturna da pressão arterial nos dois exames realizados. Notou-se também nos dois grupos incremento dos níveis pressóricos com o avanço da gravidez. As complicações do uso do aparelho foram insignificantes e não interferiram na porcentagem de adesão ao método, que foi de 100%. Conclusão: a monitorização ambulatorial da pressão arterial é útil na avaliação da variabilidade pressórica de gestantes normotensas e hipertensas, confirmando o gradual incremento da pressão arterial no decorrer da gravidez e a sua queda fisiológica noturna, independentemente dos níveis pressóricos maternos.

INTRODUÇÃO. O aumento da densidade de arritmia ventricular e a redução da variabilidade da freqüência cardíaca estão associados com risco de morte súbita e mortalidade total em insuficiência cardíaca. A inibição colinesterásica com brometo de piridostigmina (PIR) aumenta a variabilidade da freqüência de pessoas normais, porém seu efeito em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca é desconhecido. OBJETIVOS. Testar a hipótese de que a administração a curto prazo de piridostigmina reduz a densidade de arritmia ventricular e aumenta a variabilidade da freqüência cardíaca em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca. MÉTODOS. Pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca e em ritmo sinusal participaram de um estudo duplo-cego, cruzado, randomizado para placebo e piridostigmina (30mg VO de 8 em 8 horas por 2 dias). Monitorização eletrocardiográfica ambulatorial de 24 horas foi realizada para análise de arritmia e para avaliação dos índices do domínio do tempo da variabilidade da freqüência cardíaca. Pacientes foram separados em 2 grupos, de acordo com a densidade de arritmia ventricular. O grupo Arritmia (n = 11) incluiu pacientes com mais de 10 extrassístoles ventriculares por hora (ESV/h), e o grupo Variabilidade da Freqüêcia Cardíaca (n = 12) incluiu pacientes com um número de ESVs em 24 horas que não excedia 1 % do número total de intervalos RR. RESULTADOS. No grupo Arritmia, PIR resultou em uma redução de 65% no número de extrassístoles ventriculares (Placebo 266 + 56 ESV/h vs. PIR 173 + 49 ESV/h; p = 0,03). No grupo da Variabilidade da Freqüência Cardíaca, a administração de PIR resultou em um aumento do intervalo RR médio (Placebo 733 + 22 ms vs PIR 790 + 33 ms; p = 0,01), e nos índices do domínio do tempo da variabilidade da freqüência cardíaca PNN50 (Placebo 3 + 1,1 % vs PIR 6 + 1,6 %; p = 0,03) e RMSSD (Placebo 21 + 2 vs PIR 27 + 3; p = 0,008). CONCLUSÃO. Em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca, PIR reduziu a densidade de arritmia ventricular e aumentou a VFC, provavelmente por seu efeito colinomimético. Estudos a longo prazo com PIR em insuficiência cardíaca devem ser realizados.

It is known that sleep plays an important role in the process of motor learning. Recent studies have shown that the presence of sleep between training a motor task and retention test promotes a learning task so than the presence of only awake between training and testing. These findings also have been reported in stroke patients, however, there are few studies that investigate the results of this relationship on the functionality itself in this population. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between functionality and sleep in patients in the chronic stage of stroke. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted. The sample was composed of 30 stroke individuals in chronic phase, between 6 and 60 months after injury and aged between 55 and 75 years. The volunteers were initially evaluated for clinical data of disease and personal history, severity of stroke, through the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale, and mental status, the Mini-Mental State Examination. Sleep assessment tools were Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Questionnaire of Horne and Ostberg, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, the Berlin questionnaire and actigraphy, which measures were: real time of sleep, waking after sleep onset, percentage of waking after sleep onset, sleep efficiency, sleep latency, sleep fragmentation index, mean activity score. Other actigraphy measures were intraday variability, stability interdiária, a 5-hour period with minimum level of activity (L5) and 10-hour period with maximum activity (M10), obtained to evaluate the activity-rest rhythm. The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) were the instruments used to evaluate the functional status of participants. The Spearman correlation coefficient and comparison tests (Student's t and Mann-Whitney) were used to analyze the relationship of sleep assessment tools and rest-activity rhythm to measures of functional assessment. The SPSS 16.0 was used for analysis, adopting a significance level of 5%. The main results observed were a negative correlation between sleepiness and balance and a negative correlation between the level of activity (M10) and sleep fragmentation. No measurement of sleep or rhythm was associated with functional independence measure. These findings suggest that there may be an association between sleepiness and xii balance in patients in the chronic stage of stroke, and that obtaining a higher level of activity may be associated with a better sleep pattern and rhythm more stable and less fragmented. Future studies should evaluate the cause-effect relationship between these parameters

The stroke, cause of morbidity and mortality, has been associated with imbalance in the neural control of the heart, which contributes to the decrease in heart rate variability (HRV) and a prognostic factor for cardiacevents and arrhythmias. The aim of this study was to in investigate the autonomic modulation of heart rate of men suffering from lesions stroke in chronicphase. Eight menaged 58.62 ± 2.88 years, 27.41 ± 5.33 kg/m2of bodymass índex, with paresis for at least six months were studied. Heart rate (HR) and RR intervals (iR-R) were recorded at rest in supine position for 10 minutes. Geometric índices of the Poincaré plot were calculated: SD1, associatedwith vagal activity; SD2, associated with global activity but sympathetic predominance, and the relationship of both (SD1/SD2). Geometric index values in the sample: SD1 = 20,54 ± 9,90ms; SD2 = 36,80 ± 30,61ms; SD1/SD2 = 0,49 ± 0,04. The reference values from literature for healthy subjects are: SD1 = 19.6 ± 9.4ms e 22.8 ± 16.1 ms; SD2 = 43.2 ± 17.7 ms e 56.3 ± 12.3 ms; SD1/SD2 = 0.49 ± 0.21ms. Men in chronic phase of stroke haven't autonomic dysfunction analyzed by nonlinear method – Poincaré geometricíndices.

The climate is still main responsible for the variations soybean productivity (Glycine max (L.) Merrill), exerting a limiting action on these agricultural systems. The bomjesuense cerrado, this culture has proved, over the years, an increase of cultivated areas, however, productivity does not keep the same pace, going through periods of oscillations. Thus, although the crop is added to high technology, culture has great vulnerability to climatic adversities. Thus, the present study aims to analyze possible trends in meteorological variables, which can influence the soybean yield in Bom Jesus. For this purpose, different datasets were used, as follows: i) two periods of daily data (1984-2014 and 1974-2014), both obtained from the National Meteorological Institute (INMET); ii) climate normals from 1961-1990 as defined by INMET; iii) local agricultural production data of soybean-year (1997/1998 to 2012/2013) obtained from the Municipal Agricultural Production (PAM) dataset, which is management by Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). The analysis procedures included calculations of climate normals for 1984 to 2014 period and some statistical applications, as follows: i) the Wilcoxon test, used to evaluate differences between climate normals (1961 to 1990 and 1984 to 2014); ii) the Mann-Kendall nonparametric test, in order to analyze the linear trend of agrometeorological variables (rainfall, maximum temperature, minimum temperature and diurnal range of temperature; iii) cluster analysis by Ward method and the Spearman correlation test (rs) to identify the relationship between agrometeorological variable and soybean annual productivity. We adopted a statistical significance level of 5%. The results indicate changes in seasonality of the 1984-2014 climatology with respect to past climatology for all variables analyzed, except for insolation and precipitation. However, the monthly analysis of precipitation indicate negative trend during October and positive trend in December, causing a delay in start of rainy season. If this trend is persistent this result must be considered in futures definitions of the soybean crop sowing date over the region studied. With Mann-Kendall test was possible to identify positive trends with statistical significance in maximum temperature for all month forming part of soybean cycle (from November to April), which in turn tends to cause adverse effects on crop physiology, and consequently impacts on the final yield. Was identified a significant positive correlation between soybean yield and precipitation observed in March, thus precipitation deficit in this month is harmful to the soybean crop development. No statistically significant correlation was identified among maximum temperature, minimum temperature, and DTR with annual soybean productivity due these range of meteorological variables are not limiting factors in the final soybean yield in Bom Jesus (PI). It is expected that this study will contribute to propose planning strategies considering the role of climate variability on soybean crop final yield.

Introdução: A perda transitória da consciência e tónus postural seguido de rápida recuperação é definida como síncope. Tem sido dada atenção a uma síncope de origem central com descida da pressão sistémica conhecida por síncope vasovagal (SVV). Objetivos: A análise da variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (HRV) é uma das principais estratégias para estudar a SVV através de protocolos padrão (por exemplo tilt test). O principal objetivo deste trabalho é compreender a importância relativa de diversas variáveis, tais como pressão arterial diastólica e sistólica, (dBP) e (sBP), volume sistólico (SV) e resistência periférica total (TPR) na HRV. Métodos: Foram usados modelos estatísticos mistos para modelar o comportamento das variáveis acima descritas na HRV. Analisaram-se mais de mil e quinhentas observações de quatro pacientes com SVV, previamente testados com análise espectral clássica para a fase basal (LF/HF=3.01) e fases de tilt (LF/HF=0.64), indicando uma predominância vagal no período tilt. Resultados: O modelo 1 revelou o papel importante da dBP e uma baixa influência de SV, na fase de tilt, relativos à HRV. No modelo 2 a TPR revelou uma baixa influência na HRV na fase de tilt entre os pacientes. Conclusões: Verificou-se que a HRV é influenciada por um conjunto de variáveis fisiológicas, cuja contribuição individual pode ser usada para compreender as flutuações cardíacas. O uso de modelos estatísticos salientou a importância de estudar o papel da dBP e SV na SVV.

Multi-element analyses of sediment samples from the Santos-Cubatão Estuarine System were carried out to investigate the spatial and seasonal variability of trace-element concentrations. The study area contains a rich mangrove ecosystem that is a habitat for tens of thousands of resident and migratory birds, some of them endangered globally. Enrichments of metals in fine-grained surface sediments are, in decreasing order, Hg, Mn, La, Ca, Sr, Cd, Zn, Pb, Ba, Cu, Cr, Fe, Nb, Y, Ni and Ga, relative to pre-industrial background levels. The maximum enrichment ranged from 49 (Hg) to 3.1 (Ga). Mercury concentrations were greater in the Cubatão river than in other sites, while the other elements showed greater concentrations in the Morrão river. Concentrations of Mn were significantly greater in winter and autumn than in summer and spring. However, other elements (e.g. Cd and Pb) showed the opposite, with greater concentrations in summer and spring. This study suggests that seasonal changes in physical and chemical conditions may affect the degree of sediment enrichment and therefore make the assessment of contamination difficult. Consequently, these processes need to be considered when assessing water quality and the potential contamination of biota.

The objectives of this work was to estimate the number of soil subsamples considering the classical statistics and geostatistics and determine the spatial variability of soil fertility attributes of an Ultisol, with clay texture, in an area of regenerating natural vegetation in Alegre - ES. Soil samples were collected in a depth of 0.0-0.2 m, at the crossing points of a regular grid, comprising a total of 64 points located at 10 m-intervals. The area presented low fertility soil. Considering a variation of 5% around the mean in the classic statistics, it is necessary a larger number of samples in relation to geostatistics. All the chemical attributes showed moderate to high spatial dependence, except for the effective cation exchange capacity (CECe), which showed pure nugget effect. The spherical semivariogram model gave the best fit to the data. Isoline maps allowed visualizing the differentiated spatial distribution of the contents of soil chemical attributes.

This work was carried out with the objective of studying the spatial variability of the physical attributes of a Red-Yellow Ultisol under pasture and secondary vegetation in natural regeneration. Two areas were chosen in a hillside, with the soil sampling to the depth of 0-0.2 m, with the georeferenced points in a regular grid of 10x10 m, totalizing 64 points. In each point it was evaluated the total volume of porosity, macroporosity, microporosity, bulk density, soil penetration resistance and soil water content. The studied attributes in the pasture area present indicator of soil compaction for the animals' traffic, with moderate and strong structure of spatial dependence, except for the macroporosity and penetration resistance. In the area of secondary vegetation (VN) only the macroporosity does not present spatial dependence. The total volume of porosity and the bulk density present the same spatial standard in the area under pasture.

Relief influences soil texture variability, since it contributes to the time of exposition of the materials to weathering factors. Our work was carried out in the city of Gavião Peixoto (SP), with the objective of characterizing the spatial variability of texture of a dystrophic Red Latosol cultivated with citrus. The hillside was divided into three segments: top, stocking lean and inferior lean. Soil samples were collected in a grid with regular intervals of 50 m, at the depths of 0.0-0.2 m and 0.6-0.8 m, comprising a total of 332 points in an area of 83.5 ha. The data were submitted to descriptive and geostatistics analyses (semivariogram modeling and kriging maps). The spatial behavior of the texture of oxisols is directly related to the relief forms in this study, which controls the direction of surface and subsurface water flows. The concept of homogeneity of clay distribution in the Oxisol profile is a piece of information that can be adjusted by knowing the spatial pattern of this distribution in different relief forms.
