The rough grind machine operation in metallic material produce a sub product with the followings components such as: metallic residue, small parts come from the resin grinds, diatomaceous earth material (filter material) and soluble oil in water for tools cooling. According [HU1UH] from ABNT, this sub product is toxic, not inert material, aggress the environment with pollution in the currency water and contaminate the ground when incorrectly go to the municipal solid waste. The final destination of this sub product, is the incineration, in the cements company, being the incorporated the sub product to the cement, during your production. With the qualitative result using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), coupled to the dispersive energy spectroscopy (EDS), two experiments were made with objective to separate the magnetic material of the non-magnetic material, using a permanent magnet. We conclude that the magnetic material can be used by powder metallurgy process in production of pieces.

Em 671 índios puros, de 7 tribus diferentes, não foi verificado o fenômeno de siclisação da hemátia. No agrupamento de índios Carnijó ou fulniô (Aguas Bellas), Estado de Pernambuco, em 166 indivíduos, 3 eram siclêmicos (índice de siclêmicos 1,8%).Este agrupamento é muito micigenado. Estas observações reforçam a utilidade do emprêgo do teste de siclêmia em Antropologia.

Research of sicklemia in 671 putatively full-blooded Brazilian Indians was negative. These Indians belong to seven different tribes. Among 166 individuals of Carnijó or fulniô tribe 3 were sicklemic (sicklemia index 1,8%). This tribe is very micigenated. In the table above these results are summarized: These observations show that sicklemia test is an useful tool in anthropological investigations.

Os autores realizaram determinações da taxa de hemoglobin em cerca de 3.000 operários da Fábrica Nacional de Motores. Administrativamente os operários e técnicos da referida Fábrica, estão divididos em diversas categorias de acordo com o salários e a função exercida. Os resultados foram os seguintes: Dentre os resultados, os operários salário mínimo, médio e mensalistas (menos de Cr$ 600,00 mensais), são significativamente diferentes, comparados com a curva normal de hemoglobina (profissões liberais). Além disso, mostraram êsses grupamentos uma alta percentagem de indivíduos com ligeira anemia (hemoglobina abaixo de 10, 00 g) o que se traduz por um desvio padrão elevado. Verificamos finalmente que uma alimentação, constituída de rações perfeitamente balanceadas em calorias, vitaminas e sais minerais, controlada por nutricionista, pelo prazo de um ano, não elevou as taxas de hemoglobina.

Three thousands hemoglobin determinations have been made in the National Motor Plant workers. According to their salaries these workers could be classified in different categories. Correlation between hemoglobin levels and economic status have been studied. As compared to our own observation of hemoglobin levels in normal men of high standards of living the results found have been of a significative difference, as showed in following chart: Workers with low and medium salaries showed a appreciable percentage of individuals slightly anemic (Hemoglobin below 10.00 grs per 100 ml blood) reflected in a higher standard deviation of the curves constructed from these data. It has been verified that food controled by a nutritionist for a period of a year were not able to correct the blood picture in individuals in which the hemoglobin level were below normal.

Em operarios pertencentes à Emprêsa Nacional de Contruções Civis e Hidraulicas, os autores administram sais de ferro misturados á alimentos. A um primeiro grupo (88 homens) fornecem sulfato na dose de 0.5g diária por homem, de mistura com farinha de mandióca durante 30 dias. A um segundo grupo (35 homens), depois de um período semelhante, administraram citrato ferrico amoniacal pardo, no dóse de 0.7g por homem, diariamente, de mistura com caldo de feijão, por mais trinta dias. Na tabela abaixo podemos apreciar os resultados: Com a diminuição do número de indivíduos com baixo teor de hemoglobina, no final da prova, as curvas hemogloninicas do segundo grupo tornaram-se visivelmente leptokurticas em relação á cuva normal. Concluindo verifica-se portanto, á administração marcial, nas dóses indicadas uma maior sensibilidade dos indivíduos de teor baixo de hemoglobina do que os indivíduos que possuem uma taxa de hemoglobina próxima da normal.

Iron has been administered mixed with food to workers building a bridge near Rio. In the first group (88 individuals) ferrous sulfate 0.5 gr per day, has been given mixed with mandioca flour, for a 30 days period. In the second group (35 individuals) after a similar period, iron was given for another month in the form of ferric ammonium citrate, brown, 0.7 gr per day dissolved bean soup. The results could be seen in the table below: It has been shown a marked improvement in individuals with hemoglobin content below 10.00 gr per 100 cu. blood. Individuals with hemoglobin slightly below normal are not improved by this treatment. In the dosage above given any health disturbance has been observed in the 123 individuals during, this two months period with iron administration.

Benzoato de estradiol aplicado em altas doses a cães tem uma ação essencialmente trombocitopênica e o mecanismo de formação da anemia que se estabelece é semelhante ao observado na anemia da purpura experimental pelo sôro anti-plaqueta. O quadro patológico é, em ambos os casos, resultante desta trombocitopenia aguda.

The paper stresses the similarity between pathological changes produced in dogs by estradiol benzoate and anti-platelet serum. Estradiol benzoate when administered in large doses (0.1 mg per kilo) produces primarily a thrombocytopenia after a short period (4 to 6 days). As a consequence of the lack of platelets in circulation (1/3 to 1/10 from the normal volume), a picture of purpura appears with predominance of intestinal hemorrhages followed by severe anemia (8 to 15 days). When active anti-platelet serum is administered a thrombocytopenia is rapidly obtained (12 to 48 hours). Intestinal purpuric lesions are very conspicuous and hemorrhages with acute anemia are always present. These results show the identity of the mechanism of anemia produced by estradiol benzoate and anti-platelet serum. The pratical value of determinations of occult blood in feces of patients with thrombocytopenic purpura is emphasized, as an aid to diagnosis and observation od crises of the Werlhof's disease.

A anemia que se processa em caes quando se administra grandes doses de benzoato de estradiol, nao parece ser produzida por processes conhecidos de destrui?ao intra-organica. Esta substantia paraliza os fenomenos de rege¬nerate hematica, parece interferir por processo desconhecido na fisiologia sanguinea, produz graves lesoes na rede circulatoria que irriga a mucosa do intestino, principalmente jejuno, ocasipnando nesse orgao «extravasamento variavel de sangue, fator seguramente coadjuvante na formação da anemia.

The characteristic findings in the pathological picture presented by 60 dogs when administered large doses of estradiol benzoate subcutaneously in an oil vehicle are: thrombocytopenia, aplastic anemia, which follows a brief latent period, intestinal tract haemorrhages, haemorrhagic lesions occurring principally in the mucosa of the jejunum, followed by prostration and death generally within 1 to 3 weeks. Irregular findings are leucocytosis, purpuric skin lesions, visceral haemorrhages and pyoid bone marrow. The total circulating hemoglobin was determined in 9 dogs before and after the anemia was established, thus verifying the total hemoglobin loss. The blood loss through intestinal haemorrhages during the observation period was determined by benzidine test. The quantity of hemoglobin recovered from the feces in the form of hematin varied between 30 and 70% of the total hemoglobin which disappeared from the circulation. In order to ascertain the degree of intra-organic blood destruction the bilirubin eliminated in the urine of dogs with gall-bladder renal type of fis¬tula was determined daily and these values compared with those obtained for normal animals. The blood destruction as measured by this method was practically nil. An attempt was made to determine whether the presence of large quan¬tities of blood in the intestine might exert a paralyzing effect on the regene¬ration of hemoglobin in dogs rendered anemic through haemorrhage. Ne¬gative results were obtained. Estradiol benzoate administered to dogs during the period of hematic regeneration which occurs in the recovery stage of ane-mia produced by acetyl-phenyl hydrazine demonstrated that the estradiol in¬terferes but little when the regenerative processes have already begun. Repeated transfusions given during the stage of acute anemia practi¬cally do not affect the period of survival. The authors conclude that the main action of estradiol benzoate on the blood physiology of dogs is still obscure. The anemia is not produced by the intra-organic destruction of hemoglobin by known processes and doubtless the blood loss through the intestinal haemarrhages constitutes an important ac¬cessory factor in the mechanism of bringing out this anemia.
