RESUMO Apresentamos um paciente que foi submetido à cirurgia de evisceração após ruptura espontânea do globo ocular devido a glaucoma não controlado de longa data, com posterior colocação de implante orbital feito de cimento ósseo, composto à base de polimetilmetacrilato, diante da indisponibilidade de materiais alternativos. Tal composto se caracteriza pela excelente biocompatibilidade e baixo custo, o que o torna uma alternativa interessante para o tratamento. A cavidade anoftálmica foi preenchida com sucesso, fornecendo resultados estéticos adequados e condições favoráveis para o implante posterior de prótese escleral. Nenhuma complicação foi observada durante os 10 meses de seguimento. Acreditamos que, na ausência de materiais alternativos, materiais de baixo custo podem ser usados em situações emergenciais para preencher cavidades anoftálmicas e prover resultados funcionais e estéticos satisfatórios.

ABSTRACT We present a patient who underwent evisceration surgery after spontaneous rupture of the ocular globe due to long-data uncontrolled glaucoma, with posterior placement of an orbital implant made of a bone cement compound based on polymethylmethacrylate as alternative materials were not available. Such a compound is characterized by excellent biocompatibility and low cost, which makes it an interesting alternative for treatment. The anophthalmic socket was successfully filled, providing proper esthetic results and favorable conditions for the posterior scleral prosthesis implantation. No complications were observed during 10 months of follow-up. We believe that, in the absence of alternative materials, low-cost materials may be used in emergency settings to repair anophthalmic cavities and provide satisfactory functional and esthetic outcomes.

Abstract The presence of stachyose and raffinose is considered an antinutritional factor for humans and monogastric animals, leading to limitations on soybean consumption as a protein source. In the present study, the effect of a mutation in the raffinose synthase 2 gene was measured on soybean quality traits. We used an F2 population with 168 soybean individuals developed by crossing four soybean lines and evaluated oil, protein, sucrose, raffinose, stachyose and fatty acid contents and their relationships. The mutation explained 69.61%, 51.81% and 31.96% of stachyose, raffinose and sucrose variation, respectively, and we were able to produce soybean with average stachyose of 0.18%. The low coefficients of determination for protein and oil indicate that the mutation can be used to increase sucrose and reduce raffinose and stachyose content without major changes in oil and protein.

Abstract Background: In coronary procedures, although the radial approach protects patients from hemorrhagic complications, it is technically more complex than the femoral approach. Objectives: To test the hypothesis that the radial approach is the procedure of choice in ACS patients due to the high risk of bleeding; and to identify independent predictors of the choice for radial access. Methods: Patients admitted for ACS who underwent invasive coronary procedure were included. We registered the type of access (femoral or radial) chosen by the physician for the first angiography; the investigators did not interfere with this choosing process. Student’s t-test was used for comparisons between the CRUSADE and ACUITY scores. Predictors of radial access were compared between the groups. Statistical significance was defined by p < 0,05. Results: Radial access was chosen in 67% of 347 consecutive patients. Patients who underwent radial approach had lower risk of bleeding determined by CRUSADE (30 ± 14 vs. 37 ± 15; p < 0.001) as compared with femoral access. In multivariate analysis, four variables were identified as independent predictors negatively associated with radial access - age (OR = 0.98; 95%CI = 0.96 - 0.99), creatinine (OR = 0.54; 95%CI = 0.3 - 0.98), signs of left ventricular failure (OR = 0.45; 95% CI = 0.22 - 0.92) and previous CABG (OR = 0.022; 95%CI = 0.003 - 0.166). Conclusion: The propensity to choose radial over femoral access in coronary intervention was not primarily influenced by patients’ bleeding risk. Predictors of this decision, identified in the study, indicated less complex patients, suggesting that the difficulty in performing the technique was a stronger determinant than its potential antihemorrhagic effect.

RESUMO. Objetivou-se avaliar a relação entre os atributos físicos do solo e do relevo com as áreas suscetíveis ao deslizamento de terra na sub-bacia do Córrego do Yung, localizada no bairro Três Moinhos em Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais. Foram locados os pontos de amostragem e procedeu-se às medições da profundidade do solum e coleta de material subsuperficial, observando-se dois fatores: granulometria e tipo de horizonte. Foram determinadas, em laboratório, a condutividade hidráulica, densidade do solo e de partículas, porosidade total, macroporosidade e microporosidade. Realizaram-se as interpolações para predizer e mapear os valores dos atributos físicos em toda a sub-bacia hidrográfica. De acordo com os mapas temáticos, a textura argilosa relacionou-se à maior condutividade hidráulica, maior porosidade total e menor densidade do solo. Nas áreas mais íngremes, foram mapeados maiores teores de silte em profundidade, representando a pequena espessura do horizonte B. Verificou-se estreita relação da curvatura com a espessura do solo, sendo os mais profundos localizados em áreas planas e de menor declividade. Quanto às análises geoestatísticas, os valores de alcance para os atributos macroporosidade, microporosidade e silte em profundidade revelaram os menores valores encontrados, o que evidencia o conhecimento da baixa continuidade estrutural do solo em áreas potencialmente erodíveis.

ABSTRACT. The present study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the physical properties of the soil and relief in areas that are susceptible to landslides in the sub-basin of the Córrego do Yung, a creek in the urban district Três Moinhos of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais. Depth measurements of the solum were made at the soil sampling points, and the subsurface material was collected and analyzed for the two factors of particle size and type of horizon. In the laboratory, we determined the hydraulic conductivity, bulk and particle density, and total porosity, macroporosity and microporosity. The values of the physical properties throughout the sub-basin were predicted and mapped. Thematic maps were generated and showed a relation to each other: the clay was related to a higher hydraulic conductivity, higher porosity and lower soil density. In the steeper areas, the greater silt contents were mapped in the deeper layers and indicated the thin thickness of horizon B in these areas. A close relation of the curvature with the soil thickness was detected and was greater in the flat areas with less slope. The geostatistical analysis showed that the range of values for the properties of macroporosity, microporosity and silt was the lowest in the deeper layers, indicating low structural continuity in potentially erodible areas.

OBJETIVO: conhecer a percepção de puérperas acerca da assistência pré-natal. MÉTODO: foram entrevistadas em até 48 horas após o parto, 150 puérperas, provenientes de diferentes serviços de saúde que acessaram o Hospital Universitário de Santa Maria/RS, no período de dezembro de 2010 a fevereiro de 2011. RESULTADOS: das 150 puérperas, 91,33% realizaram consultas de pré-natal em algum serviço de saúde do município e 8,67% não realizaram nenhuma consulta. 56,67% das puérperas entrevistadas consideraram que fazer o pré-natal é importante tanto para a mãe quanto para o bebê; quanto à assistência pré-natal realizada no município 84,67% das puérperas julga que não há necessidade de mudanças. CONCLUSÃO: apesar das usuárias considerarem a assistência como adequada, as autoras avaliam que existem carências na atenção pré-natal nos diferentes serviços e que poderiam ser supridas com a realização de um trabalho multiprofissional e interdisciplinar. Nesse sentido, intensificar o processo educativo entre as gestantes pode melhorar a qualidade da atenção, eliminar a falta de realização de pré-natal e diminuir a morbi-mortalidade materno-infantil no município.

PURPOSE: to know the mothers perception about the prenatal care. METHOD: there were interviewed within 48 hours after the delivery, 150 postpartum women, from various health services that accessed the Hospital Universitário de Santa Maria / RS, from December 2010 to February 2011. RESULTS: from the 150 postpartum women, 91,33% attended prenatal consultation in a health system from the town and 8,67% did not attend any consultation. 56,67% of postpartum women considered that prenatal care is important both for the mother and for the baby; regarding prenatal care held in the city, 84.67% of postpartum women judges that there is no need for change. CONCLUSION:despite of the users consider the assistance appropriate, the authors estimate that there are deficiencies in prenatal care in the different services that could be assisted by conducting a multi-professional and interdisciplinary work. In this sense, intensify the educational process among the pregnant women may improve the care quality, eliminate the lack of prenatal and decrease maternal and infant morbimortality rates in the municipality.

Habitat Living Lab is a network of organizations that aims at developing and applying eco-friendly technologies with low income communities to improve their housing conditions. This article reports Habitat formation from an NGO followed by its interaction with the university. Maturation of the relations among the community, the NGO and the University led to the formalization of Habitat when it joined the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) in 2010. The Laboratory of Supporting Technologies for Collaborative Networks (LabTAR) was created for practice and reflection of network projects. Information and communication technologies (ICT) became relevant to promote interaction and innovation. Habitat’s path reveals that this model is feasible. The NGO’s work has already produced social innovation but the projects of technological innovation which began in 2010 are underway. Key elements for Habitat’s good results are: an organization truly committed to the development of the community, collaborative work based on long-lasting partnerships, diverse financial sources, local R&D agency and university policies that value university and community interaction, intensive use of ICT, constant improvement of communication and motivated people.

El Habitat Living Lab es una red de organizaciones que busca desarrollar y aplicar tecnologías amigables al medio ambiente, generando mejoras en las condiciones habitacionales de comunidades de bajos ingresos. Este artículo relata la formación del Habitat, impulsado originalmente por una ONG y relacionándose luego con la universidad. La maduración de las relaciones entre comunidad, ONG y universidad llevó a la formalización del Habitat, y su ingreso en 2010 a la Red Europea de Living Labs (ENoLL). En este contexto fue creado el Laboratorio de Tecnologias de Apoio a Redes de Colaboração (LabTAR) para fomentar la práctica y reflexión de proyectos en red. Las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) se tornaron, entonces, relevantes para promover la interacción entre todos los grupos involucrados en la iniciativa. El caso de Habitat Living Lab revela que este modelo es viable. El trabajo de la ONG ha producido innovación social, pero los proyectos de innovación tecnológica iniciados en 2010 todavía siguen en curso. Entre los elementos que resultaron claves en el funcionamiento de este Living Lab se destacan la organización comprometida con el desarrollo de la comunidad, el trabajo colaborativo basado en asociaciones duraderas,fuentes de recursos financieros variadas, agencia de I+D y política universitaria que valoren la interacción con la comunidad local, uso intensivo de TIC, mejora constante de la comunicación y la motivación de los actores implicados

Living Labs’ movement began in Brazil in 2009. By 2012, twelve Brazilian Living Labs had already been integrated to the European network of Living Labs (ENoLL). This article presents the panorama of this particular set of Living Labs. Among the twelve Living Labs, nine of them already existed, wholly or partly, acting as Living Labs before their affiliation to ENoLL, and three of them were projects created with ENoLL’s approval. Motivational factors for applying for ENoLL made it possible for these Living Labs to get access to knowledge and international resources. Brazilian Living Labs are more oriented to social innovation than to business innovation. However, in what refers to their activities and results, there is a balance between technological and social innovation. The main challenges faced by them, according to their coordinators, are the lack of specific resources for this type of initiative and the isolation in relation to other Living Labs. The fact that nine of them already existed before ENoLL’s affiliation leads to deduce the existence of other initiatives that are already underway. Identifying those initiatives and disseminating the concept and methodology of Living Labs throughout the country might be an important strategy to overcome the challenges targeted

El movimiento de los Living Labs comenzó en Brasil en 2009. Para 2012 ya estaban integrados a la Red Europea de Living Labs (ENoLL) doce grupos brasileños. Este artículo presenta el panorama de ese conjunto de Living Labs. Entre los doce, nueve ya existían, total o parcialmente, actuando como Living Labs, y tres fueron proyectos creados con el objetivo de ingresar a la ENoLL. Los factores de motivación de la candidatura a esta red europea fueron la posibilidad de acceso a conocimientos y recursos internacionales. En cuanto a los propósitos de los grupos, la mayoría está más orientado a la innovación social que a la innovación comercial, pero en lo que se refiere a los resultados de sus acciones, hay equilibrio entre innovación tecnológica y social. Entre los retos principales se destacan la falta de recursos específicos para este tipo de iniciativa y el aislamiento en relación a los demás Living Labs. La existencia de nueve Living Labs previo al ingreso a ENoLL, lleva a deducir que es probable que haya otras iniciativas en curso que presenten las características de un Living Lab. Por tal motivo, el objetivo de identificar esas iniciativas y difundir el concepto y la metodología Living Lab, es importante para adensar el conjunto de ellos en el país y para superar los retos apuntados
