Technology is part of the daily life, and the ageing population will expand its use by the elderly people for several purposes, health care for example. Nutrition in geriatrics is gaining increasing relevance, in particular, the goals of protein ingestion, that have been increasing recently. Therefore, mobile apps can be used to track inadequacies in this regard. This research aimed to develop an app that performs a 24-hour food diary by the elderly user, in an automated way, submitting it to quality tests and usabilityvalidation. It was developed with a focus on the specificities of this group and subjectedto quality tests in an exhausting way. The usability was evaluated in two stages: Stage1(N=8) -central group discussion, which took place before the elaboration of its finalversion, including elderly users in the development process; and Stage 2 (N = 18) -evaluation by elderly participants who did not have cognitive decline identified by the10-point cognitive screening tool (10-CS), using the System Usability Scale (SUS scale). The final version of the PROT+ app for Android, obtained after quality tests andproposals made by the focused discussion group, presented screens for simple andintuitive use, and a tutorial video to guide the user. Data from the SUS scale performedby 16 participants, were analyzed by groups divided by schooling and age range. The average of the groups with schooling from zero to four years, five to 11 years, andhigher than or equal to 12 formal years of study were 80 (Interquartile Range (IQR) 48.13), 95 (IQR 15) and 92.5 (IQR 10), respectively. And for age range from 60 to 69 years old, 70 to 79 years old, and over 80 years old, were 95 (IQR 8.75), 85 (IQR33.75), and 87.5 (IQR 10), respectively. There were no differences in usability betweenthe groups by schooling, but there was a large difference between the 60-69 and 70-79 age groups. However, all averages were higher than the scores of other applicationsdeveloped for elderly users and satisfactory by the SUS scale. Therefore, the PROT+app is a geriatric nutritional tool, which is easy to use, with an interface adapted to the specificity of its target audience and demonstrated satisfactory performance in allrequirements evaluated after functional and non-functional quality tests, as well as usability.

Prótese parcial removível implanto-dento mucossuportada - relato de caso
(Universidade Brasil, 2024) Santos, Pedro Henrique Barbaris dos ; Nunes, Ana Paula.; Conforte, Jadison Junio.
The choice of treatment of a removable implant-dental-muco-supported partial denture is a rehabilitative solution that aims to combine dental supports and mucous together with dental implants to restore both function and aesthetics in patients with partial tooth loss.This work is based on a clinical case analysis experienced at the Universidade Brasil (UB), with the first step of understanding how the combination of dental supports and mucosal supports, together with dental implants can amplify and enhance both the stability and functionality of removable partial dentures, greater comfort and adaptation, less wear of soft tissues.Based on the result obtained with the case, we can say that

Estudo sobre a epidemiologia dos acidentes com escorpiões no Estado de São Paulo - SP
(Universidade Brasil, 2022-08-17) Almeida, Estelita Aparecida de Souza; Cogo, José Carlos; Magalhães, Daniel Souza Ferreira
Scorpionism is considered a public health problem in developing countries. In Brazil, scorpions are responsible for the highest number of accidents with venomous animals,exceeding the number of accidents with spiders and snakes. The present work aimedo study the epidemiology of the accident with scorpions in the municipality of Fernandópolis,comparing with those that occurred in the macro-region of the Regional Intermanagers Commission (CIR) and in the State of São Paulo. The study wasetrospective and the information was collected from existing information in the DATASUS database, which is a database open to the public (Department ofnformatics of the Unified Health System in Brazil) and SINAN (Information System forDiseases notification form. The period analyzed was from 2013 to 2017. Variablesrelated to the accident were analyzed: cases that occurred in the State of São Paulo, in the CIR region and in the municipality of Fernandópolis;victim-related variables:sex, race; age group, variables related to poisoning and treatment: time elapsedbetween the accident and care in the emergency room, classification of the case (mild,moderate and severe) and evolution of the case. This work also proposed to create afolder with information about scorpionism to be disseminated to the general population. Our results show that in this period there was a significant increase in accidents, withthe growth in the CIR region and the municipality of Fernandópolis greater than thegrowth in the state. Men were the most affected by scorpionism, and the age groupthat suffered the most from this type of accident was between 20 and 59 years old,with the white race being the most affected. Most accidents were classified as mild, State of São Paulo, and emergenrcy room that suffered the most from this type of accident was between 20 and 59 years old,with the white race being the most affected. Most accidents were classified as mild,with deaths only in the data relating to the State of São Paulo, and emergency roomcare occurred within the first hour after the accident. We conclude that the accidentwith scorpions is increasing in the studied regions and that there is an urgent need totake containment measures such as prioritizing the preservation of the environment, avoiding accumulation of garbage and debris and creating means of dissemination tothe population on how to avoid this type of accident. The results of this work and thefolder created containing information about scorpionism fill a gap in the scientific fieldof popular knowledge about the accident with scorpions and the first aid that should betaken in the case of an accident with scorpions. It is also a document to guide futurepublic policy proposals to combat scorpionism in the region.
