O uso de simulações computacionais que representam experimentos reais de física médica é uma alternativa para diminuir custos e proporcionar uma maior variedade de experimentos que utilizam radiações ionizantes. O laboratório virtual permite explorar uma série de conceitos de maneira semelhante aos abordados experimentalmente, possibilitando utilizar uma infinidade de fontes, materiais e detectores sem agregar custos. Além disso, as simulações computacionais permitem explorar aspectos inatingíveis com os experimentos reais. Este artigo descreve a implementação de um Laboratório Virtual de Física Médica que, através de interfaces gráficas intuitivas, roteiros guiados e contextualização histórica explora experimentos de física médica amplamente utilizados nas áreas da medicina nuclear, radiodiagnóstico e radioterapia. Como exemplo, apresentamos o experimento de atenuação da radiação (raios X e gama) com a matéria. Os experimentos foram implementados através da linguagem de programação Python. A interface gráfica foi desenvolvida através do framework Streamlit. O uso do Laboratório Virtual de Física Médica tem se mostrado uma ferramenta alternativa para alinhar o ensino prático ao teórico. ionizantes experimentalmente fontes disso intuitivas nuclear radioterapia exemplo raios gama matéria Python Streamlit teórico

The use of computer simulations that represent real experiments in medical physics is an alternative to reduce costs and provide a greater variety of experiments involving ionizing radiation. The virtual laboratory allows the exploration of a range of concepts in a similar manner to experimental approaches, enabling the utilization of a multitude of sources, materials, and detectors without incurring additional costs. Furthermore, computer simulations allow the exploration of aspects that are unattainable with real experiments. This article describes the implementation of a Virtual Medical Physics Laboratory that, through intuitive graphical interfaces, guided scripts, and historical context, explores widely used experiments in the areas of nuclear medicine, radiodiagnostics, and radiotherapy. As an example, we present the experiment on radiation attenuation (X-rays and gamma rays) with matter. The experiments were implemented using the Python programming language. The graphical interface was developed using the Streamlit framework. The use of the Virtual Medical Physics Laboratory has proven to be an alternative tool for bridging the gap between practical and theoretical teaching. approaches sources materials Furthermore interfaces scripts context medicine radiodiagnostics radiotherapy example Xrays X rays matter language framework teaching

BACKGROUND: Partial vascular occlusion (PVO) can increase muscle strength and hypertrophy without joint overload. However, PVO could increase the possibility of imbalances and injuries during physical activity OBJECTIVES: To identify changes in strength, muscle activation, and postural control during the use of PVO in young women METHOD: A total of 14 healthy women aged between 18 and 30 years were evaluated. Dynamometry was used to analyse the strength of the quadriceps muscle, and surface electromyography to evaluate quadriceps muscle activity. A force platform was utilised to assess postural control, static single-legged support, single-legged squat, and climbing and descending stairs. Participants were randomly assigned to the evaluations either with or without PVO. The results were compared and correlated RESULTS: The performance of static, dynamic, or stair exercises, with or without PVO, did not indicate differences in muscle strength and recruitment (p > 0.05). The use of PVO improved the velocity of anteroposterior (AP) oscillation of static postural control (p = 0.001). We found a moderate negative correlation between muscle strength and postural control during the ascending stairs task with the use of PVO (r = −0.54; r = −0.59), while in the group without PVO, the correlation was moderate to high (r = −0.55; r = −0.76 CONCLUSION: The use of PVO did not impair muscle strength and recruitment of the quadriceps or postural control in healthy women CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Partial vascular occlusion can be used during dynamic exercises without impairing the balance and muscle strength of the quadriceps during its execution

Abstract BACKGROUND: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has several mechanisms of action related to inflammatory responses, especially in individuals diagnosed with obesity. This hyperinflammatory clinical profile resulting from the association between obesity and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may be attenuated by regular physical activity. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to review the evidence on the consequences of physical inactivity and physical activity on COVID-19 in patients with obesity. DESIGN AND SETTING: Narrative review at the Bahiana School of Medicine and Public Health in Salvador, Brazil. METHODS: We searched evidence on the association of COVID-19 with physical activity and obesity using the following keywords: “covid-19,” “physical activity,” and “obesity”. The databases used were MEDLINE (PubMed), ScienceDirect, and Virtual Health Library. Studies published from 2019 to 2021 and available in Portuguese, English, and Spanish were included. The final search was conducted on September 26, 2021. RESULTS: We identified 661 studies in the database, among which 71 were considered for inclusion in the narrative review of the molecular aspects of COVID-19 and its relationship with physical activity and obesity. CONCLUSION: This literature review enabled the perception of the relationship between the molecular mechanisms of COVID-19 and obesity. Regular physical activity had various benefits for the inflammatory condition of the studied population, highlighting moderate-intensity.

Abstract: Introduction: Knowledge and understanding of scientific research are skills that must be developed by all health professionals. Specifically in Medicine, these skills make up an important part of undergraduate and continuing medical education. Considering that medical training is closely related to the understanding of scientific evidence, it becomes relevant to analyze the involvement of medical students with scientific activities during the course. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the interest and involvement in scientific research among medical students, analyzing the academic profile and the extracurricular activities carried out, in addition to evaluating the scientific production and identifying the motivations and difficulties faced. Method: A cross-sectional study carried out with medical students from Salvador/Bahia, over 18 years of age. A virtual, structured, anonymous questionnaire was applied through Microsoft Forms, containing 21 questions about the academic profile and extracurricular activities carried out, in addition to data on scientific production and the motivations and difficulties faced by students. Result: Of the 460 participating students, there was a predominance of women (63.3%), aged 24.1+6.1 years, attending the basic (45.4%) and clinical (46.7%) cycles, who have no previous desire to work with research (54.8%). Among the participants, 54.6% were part of academic leagues, 31.1% were involved in research groups and 29.1% participated in monitoring. It was found that only 33.9% of students have abstracts published in congresses, 12.2% are co-authors of scientific articles and 7.4% are main authors. Interest in working with research increases during graduation (p = 0.010), with students motivated to produce scientifically (66.1%). Research experience (27.4%) and genuine interest in scientific discovery (20.9%) were the main motivating factors. However, 81.1% of students identify difficulties in producing scientific content, with inadequate guidance (16.0%) and lack of time (15.5%) being the main obstacles. No relationship was observed between motivation and difficulty to produce scientifically and the current academic cycle. Conclusion: Medical students show interest and participation in scientific research, however those who are actually involved in scientific activities represent the minority.

ABSTRACT The double punch test (DPT) is increasingly used internationally for quality control of steel fiber reinforced shotcrete (SFRS). This study intends to verify the influence of the DPT specimens’ diameter on the residual strength behavior of the SFRS. The experimental program aims to evaluate the dynamics of the test in terms of the results obtained from the analytical conversion of the axial displacement into total circumferential opening displacement (TCOD). The results are compared to those obtained through the 3D digital image correlation (DIC3D) to evaluate its applicability as a quality control method of the SFRS. The results demonstrated that the TCOD could be easily obtained by analytical conversion with reliable accuracy. The analysis of the DPT results could consider the crack opening level to obtain constitutive equations. The diameter of the DPT specimens directly influences the structural parameters of the SFRS. Smaller specimens may show a 35% reduction in residual strength associated with the service limit state. As the coefficient of variation of the residual strength associated with the ultimate limit state practically doubles when smaller specimens are used, for the same reliability, the sample sizing of the specimens of 10 cm is twice the quantity of the 15 cm.

Abstract Background Frailty is a biological syndrome suggested as a better predictor of morbimortality than chronological age. Objective To assess associations between frailty and morbimortality outcomes in postoperative cardiac surgery. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted with cardiac surgery patients. Frailty and maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) were assessed before surgery. Postoperative outcomes were: extracorporeal circulation time; use of vasopressor; mean arterial pressure (MAP); red blood cell (RBC) transfusion; cardiac arrhythmia and/or heart arrest; presence of intra-aortic balloon pump; antibiotic use; extubation time; length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU); length of postoperative stay; mortality. One-way ANOVA was used to compare postoperative variables between frailty categories; Spearman was used to evaluate the correlations between frailty and postoperative variables. Age, sex, and MIP were introduced into multiple regression models to find the independent association between postoperative variables and frailty. A significance level of p < 0.05 was adopted. Results The medical records of 200 patients were analyzed (65.7±7.2 years; 68.5% men; 63.5% non-frail, 22.5% pre-frail, 14% frail). Frailty was not a predictor of postoperative outcomes. Age was an independent predictor for alterations in MAP (PR: 1.028, 95% CI: 1.003-1.053, p=0.025), need for RBC transfusion (PR: 1.034, 95% CI: 1.007-1.062, p=0.014), longer extubation time (PR: 1.052, 95% CI: 1.023-1.083, p<0.001), length of stay in the ICU (ß: 0.031, 95% CI: 0.010-0.053, p=0.005), length of postoperative stay (ß: 0.017, 95% CI: 0.003-0.031, p=0.015). Conclusions Frailty was not a predictor of morbimortality following cardiac surgery in middle-aged and older adults; however, age did predict morbidities in this setting.

RESUMO A utilização de novos produtos, como o biochar e os bioestimulantes, tem potencial para acelerar o crescimento e melhorar a qualidade de mudas que serão levadas ao campo. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a influência de biocarvão e do bioestimulante vegetal na formação de mudas de Schinus terebinthifolius. O experimento foi instalado em blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 5 × 2, testando proporções de biocarvão na composição do substrato (0, 7,5, 15, 22,5 e 30%) na presença (15 mL L-1) ou ausência de bioestimulante no tratamento de sementes, com quatro repetições. Foram medidos aos 100 dias após a semeadura: diâmetro de colo, altura, área foliar, comprimento e volume de raiz, massa seca de parte aérea e de raízes. A partir desses parâmetros, foram calculadas relações que determinam a qualidade de mudas. O uso combinado de biochar e bioestimulante influencia na formação e qualidade das mudas de Schinus terebinthifolius, sendo esta associação benéfica para o desenvolvimento radicular das mudas. O biochar mostrou-se viável e pode ser adicionado à mistura de substrato para produção de mudas de S. terebinthifolius. As proporções próximas a 15% de biochar apresentaram melhores resultados de qualidade de mudas. O uso de bioestimulante permite adicionar maiores quantidades de biocarvão a ser misturado no substrato. Plantas mais altas possuem maior diâmetro de caule e comprimento de raiz e plantas com maior volume de raiz proporcionam melhor qualidade de mudas, indicada pelo maior índice de qualidade de Dickson.

ABSTRACT The use of new products, such as biochar and biostimulants, has the potential to accelerate growth and improve the quality of seedlings that will be taken to the field. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the influence of biochar and plant biostimulant on the formation of Schinus terebinthifolius seedlings. The experiment was installed in randomized blocks arranged in a 5 × 2 factorial scheme with four replications. Biochar proportions in the substrate composition (0, 7.5, 15, 22.5 and 30%) in the presence (15 mL L-1) or absence of biostimulant in the seed treatment were evaluated. Stem diameter, height, leaf area, root length and volume, and shoot and root dry mass were measured at 100 days after sowing. Relationships were calculated from these parameters, which determine the quality of seedlings. The combined use of biochar and biostimulant influences the formation and quality of Schinus terebinthifolius seedlings, with this association being beneficial for the root development of seedlings. Biochar is viable and may be added to the substrate mixture for producing S. terebinthifolius seedlings. The proportions containing around 15% of biochar presented seedlings with the highest quality. The use of biostimulant allows for adding higher quantities of biochar to be mixed in the substrate. Taller plants have larger stem diameters and root lengths. Plants with larger root volumes provide better seedling quality, evidenced by the higher Dickson quality index.

Resumo O caramujo Achatina fulica, originário da África, foi introduzido em diversos países como potencial espécie para cultivo. No Brasil, a iniciativa não se mostrou viável, e o abandono dos organismos permitiu sua disseminação. Além de prejuízos agrícolas e ecológicos, a espécie oferece risco de transmissão de doenças ao homem e a outros vertebrados superiores. Nesse contexto, o objetivo da pesquisa foi comparar, ao longo de um ano, a abundância e a atividade reprodutiva da espécie invasora A. fulica entre dois ambientes localizados na zona urbana de Penedo (AL) com características distintas: presença e ausência de coleta de esgoto e de resíduos sólidos. Por meio do teste t de Student, verificou-se que houve diferença significativa na abundância das populações entre os pontos de amostragem, demonstrando que a espécie tem predileção por ambientes alterados. Além disso, por meio da análise da variância, notou-se que houve diferença significativa na abundância total de indivíduos entre agosto, mês subsequente aos períodos mais chuvosos, e os demais meses. Concluiu-se então que a pluviosidade e as condições precárias de saneamento básico são fatores que influenciam diretamente o crescimento populacional da espécie, tendo em vista sua melhor adaptação e reprodução em ambientes úmidos e com presença de resíduos sólidos.

ABSTRACT: The Achatin fulica snail, originally from Africa, was introduced in several countries as a potential species for cultivation. In Brazil, the initiative was not viable and the abandonment of the organisms allowed its dissemination. In addition to agricultural and ecological damage, the species also poses a risk of disease transmission to humans and other higher vertebrates. Within this context, the objective of the research was to compare the abundance and reproductive activity of the A. fulica invasive species in two environments located in the urban zone of Penedo, Alagoas, with distinct characteristics: presence and absence of a network collection of sewage and solid waste. Through the Student's t test, it was verified that there was a significant difference in the abundance of populations between the collection points, showing that the species has a predilection for altered environments. In addition, through analysis of variance (ANOVA), it was observed that there was a significant difference between the total abundance of individuals between August, month after the rainy season, and the other months. It was then concluded that rainfall and precarious conditions of basic sanitation are factors that directly influence the population growth of the species, since they are better adapted to humid environments and with the presence of solid waste.

RESUMO Antecedentes: A Hipertensão Intracraniana Idiopática (HII) é uma cefaleia secundária com incidência crescente. Atualmente há pouca evidência disponível na literatura referente ao manejo da HII. Objetivo: O entendimento da fisiopatologia e o papel central da obesidade como fator de risco para HII abriu novas perspectivas de tratamento. Métodos: nessa revisão narrativa, objetivamos revisar as principais opções de tratamento disponíveis atualmente para o manejo da HII, controle da obesidade e da cefaleia. Resultados: Apresentação clínica: a cefaleia é o sintoma mais comum e uma importante causa de impacto na qualidade de vida, e o déficit visual é um achado comum no diagnóstico. Fisiopatologia: atualmente não existe uma teoria unificada capaz de explicar satisfatoriamente os sintomas e a evolução da doença. Um crescente corpo de evidências aponta para o papel central das alterações metabólicas e da obesidade na fisiopatologia da HII. Tratamento: a maioria dos dados publicados sobre HII estão relacionados a medidas para controle da hipertensão intracraniana e proteção da visão. Acetazolamida e Derivação Ventriculo Peritoneal são as principais alternativas com esse fim. A fenestração do nervo óptico pode ser útil como medida termporaria de controle da pressão sobre o nervo óptico e proteção contra a progressão do déficit visual. Cirurgia bariátrica se mostrou efetiva no controle da pressão intracraniana. Conclusão: A HII é uma causa importante de incapacidade cujo reconhecimento precoce é importante. O tratamento deve ser individualizado. Atualmente há uma importante defasagem de evidências sobre o manejo da cefaleia nesse grupo de pacientes.

ABSTRACT Background: Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) is a secondary headache with a steadily growing incidence. Currently, there is little evidence to guide the treatment of IIH. Objective: To review the pathophysiology of IIH, with focus on the role of obesity as a risk factor, and the implications for new therapeutic perspectives. Methods: in this narrative review, we summarized the current knowledge on treatment options highlighting available evidence for managing intracranial hypertension, obesity, and headache. Results: Clinical Presentation: headache is the most common symptom and a significant cause of quality-of-life impairment. Visual loss is common in the diagnosis. Pathophysiology: there is no unified theory able to explain all symptoms and the evolution of the disease. There is growing data pointing to metabolic changes and obesity with a central role in IIH pathophysiology. Treatment: most published data on IIH treatment is related to pressure control and protection from visual loss. Acetazolamide and cerebrospinal fluid diversion are the best options available. Optic nerve sheath fenestration might be useful to temporally control the pressure over the optic nerve and thus protect from visual deterioration. Recently, venous sinus stenting has proven to be a safe option in selected cases. Finally, bariatric surgery has proven to effectively control elevated intracranial pressure. Conclusion: IIH is a potential cause of high disability. Early recognition is important, and treatment should be tailored to the needs of each case. There is a lack of research on headache management, which might persist after ICP control.

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar um panorama das discussões acerca da díade Arquivologia - Competência em Informação, partindo da estrutura teórico-conceitual “Dimensões conceituais para a inserção da Competência em Informação no cenário arquivístico brasileiro”. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica que visa apresentar o escopo teórico e as discussões já estabelecidas sobre as temáticas, apontar perspectivas de pesquisas, bem como possibilidades para inserção de novos elementos teórico-práticos ao universo que vem se consolidando acerca da Competência em Informação e suas vertentes no contexto arquivístico. Tendo como base a estrutura proposta e visando ampliar o rol de relações em torno da díade Arquivologia - Competência em Informação, foram incluídos três elementos no eixo III - Arquivo, da dimensão 5 - Arquivologia: Usuários de arquivo, Competência Arquivística e Inteligência Arquivística. Os elementos inseridos, especificamente, Competência Arquivística e Inteligência Arquivística, devem configurar como parte do referencial teórico-prático que compõe a linha 1 e ser inseridos, ainda que de forma transversal, na linha 2, respectivamente “Referencial teórico-prático arquivístico” e “Diretrizes curriculares, Projetos Pedagógicos e Preceitos da Competência em Informação”, ambos no eixo I - Arquivologia da Dimensão 5. Em pesquisas futuras será possível relacionar tais elementos com as demais dimensões que formam a referida estrutura conceitual.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to present an overview of the discussions about the dyad Archival Science - Information Literacy, starting from the theoretical-conceptual framework "Conceptual dimensions for the insertion of Information Literacy in the Brazilian archival scenario". This is a literature review that aims to present the theoretical scope and the discussions already established on the themes, point out perspectives of research, as well as possibilities for insertion of new theoretical and practical elements to the universe that has been consolidating about Information Literacy and its aspects in the archival context. Based on the proposed structure and aiming to expand the list of relations around the dyad Archival Science - Information Literacy, three elements were included in axis III - Archive, of dimension 5 - Archival Science: Archive users, Archival Literacy and Archival Intelligence. The inserted elements, specifically Archival Literacy and Archival Intelligence, should configure as part of the theoretical-practical framework that makes up line 1 and be inserted, although in a transversal way in line 2, respectively "Archival theoretical-practical framework" and "Curricular guidelines, Pedagogical Projects and Precepts of Information Literacy", both in axis I - Archival Science of Dimension 5. In future research it will be possible to relate such elements with the other dimensions that make up the conceptual framework.

Abstract Takayasu’s arteritis is a type of primary systemic vasculitis that affects medium and large arteries, including the aorta and its main branches, as well as the pulmonary and coronary arteries. Although rare in children, it is the third most common vasculitis in the pediatric population, often with delayed diagnosis due to the nonspecific presentation of clinical symptoms in its initial phase. This is a case of a 16-year-old girl with a giant ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, who needed surgery on an emergency basis. The etiological aspects involved in aneurysms in young patients are also addressed.
