The VI Academic and Technological Congress of Universidade Brasil (CONTECBRASIL) took place from September 25th to 27th, 2025, at the Fernandópolis Campus, where the undergraduate and graduate courses are located. The event integrated four important meetings: the XIX Scientific Initiation Meeting (XIX EINIC), the VII Scientific Symposium in the Health Area (VII SICAS), the XIII Graduate Meeting (XIII EPG), and the VII Symposium on Animal Welfare and Behavior (VII SIBEM), bringing together approximately [number of participants] from various regions of Brazil. The congress aimed to disseminate scientific and technological knowledge, fostering innovation and practical application in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). With the participation of graduate students from various regions of the country, the event reinforced collaboration between researchers and managers.
Avaliação do tratamento utilizando vácuo e fotobiomodulação para fibroedema gelóide (celulite)
(Universidade Brasil, 2023-03-30) Buslik, Sandra; Martins, Rodrigo Álvaro Brandão Lopes
In the quest for beauty and aesthetics, skin care is very important, as it is the largest organ in the body. In recent years, aesthetics has developed new methods, which combine manual techniques, cosmetology and technology in the search for the"perfect body". Among the changes considered unsightly, cellulite, also known as Fibroedema Geloid or Gynoid Lipodystrophy, is the one that most bothers women. In addition to histological alterations, the EGF also presents multifactorial dysfunctions, with the presence of vascular, inflammatory, hormonal and structural alterations. In this study, we associated photobiomodulation therapy using LEDs with gentle vacum therapy, which increases local skin circulation and has been used as cupping therapy for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. For this, 25 women between 18 and 50 years old,with EGF grades I to IV and phototypes between I and V, were recruited.The evaluation was performed by Infrared Thermography and ultrasound imaging before the start of treatments and again at the end of 4 weeks. Patients received random bilateral treatment in the region of the thigh flanks, using Vacuum + ActiveLED on one side and Vacuum + Placebo LED on the contralateral side. Twelve treatment sessions were applied 3x a week over a period of 4 weeks. The treatments, active or placebo, were applied by a third professional with specialization inaesthetics. Both sides were treated with vacuum therapy. Vacuum Therapy Associated with Photobiomodulation was able to promote a slight increase in regional temperature in the flanks, indicating an increase in regional blood flow. However, it was not able to promote the reduction of the Cellulite Degree measured by Infrared Thermography.
Os agentes eletrofísicos funcionam para o tratamento da celulite? uma revisão sistemática
(Universidade Brasil, 2023-09-27) Longano, Claudia Regina Pinheiro; Martins, Rodrigo Álvaro Brandão Lopes
Cellulite is a change in the topography of the skin and is located especially in regionswith accumulation of adipose tissue, such as hips, buttocks, thighs and abdomen. Surprisingly, contrary to what we might think, the etiology and pathophysiology ofcellulite are far from being a consensus or a well-established issue. The lack ofknowledge of the real etiology of the cellulytic process directly interferes with the choiceof appropriate treatments and thus several treatment methods have been tested. However, do the studies that address these different treatment techniques have strongenough methodological quality to conclude whether these treatments are effective ornot to combat cellulite? In this work, we performed a systematic review of clinicalstudies that used electrophysical agents for the treatment of cellulite. Methods The acronym PICO (population, intervention, comparison/control and outcome) was usedto develop the search strategy and inclusion/exclusion criteria. Four databases suchas Medline, Central, Lilacs and PEDro were searched for studies involving thetreatment of cellulite with electrophysical agents from 2001 to July 2021. To maintain Isystematization and guide the selection of studies, we followed the guidelines from the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA). The methodology of the included studies wvas evaluated using the QualSyst tool. Results:32 studies were included in this review, only 2 (6.2%) were evaluated with strong andgood methodology using the QualSyst tool Conclusions. Taken together, our results demonstrate that the quality of evidence obtained in clinical studies on the use ofelectrophysical agents for treatment is still poor. Additional studies employing anadequate experimental methodology and more precise evaluation techniques areneeded. The present study does not deny the effectiveness of the techniques used forthe treatment of cellulite, but the need for additional, better-designed studies is clear.
Efeitos agudos da suplementação com bebida energética sobre o sistema cardiocirculatório
(Universidade Brasil, 2022-12-20) Cabral, Mara Régina L.; Vieira, Rodolfo de Paula
The use of nutritional supplements has been increasingly used in the context of profiles that practice physical activity in a professional way, and in people with anon-athletic profile, aiming to improve performance and physical conditioning during the practice of physical exercises and/or to maintain a good level of performance in the daily tasks performed by these people. Among these products used as daily supplementation, the use of energy drinks is constantly increasing, which has been drawing the attention of enthusiasts and researchers about their effects on the bodyin the short and long term,according to the amount and time of use of the products same. The energy drinks available on the market contain a mixture of ingredientsthat aim to improve physical performance, however, there is still a shortage in thescientific literature on the effects of these substances in the body in isolation, and on the physiological parameters that change in the body after consuming these products. Therefore, we will evaluate the acute physiological effects in healthyindividuals after the use of an energy supplement on the following physiologicalresponses: cardiovascular hemodynamics, pulmonary function and mechanics, systemic physiological responses and acute cardiopulmonary performance. For this, sedentary volunteers (n=30), aged between 25 and 50 years were evaluated.The physiological parameters evaluated were the following: vital activity functionsthrough a non-invasive hemodynamic study: heart rate (HR), systolic (SBP) anddiastolic (DBP) blood pressure, using the electrical impedance cardiographytechnique performed by Physioflow®. Graphs and statistical analysis will be performed using Graph Pad Prism 5.0 software and data will be evaluated usingNO-WAY ANOVA followed by Dunn's test for comparison between groups.ValuesTof p<0.05 will be considered statistically significant.
Desenvolvimento de aplicativo para dispositivos móveis de mensuração de injestão proteica diária por pessoas idosas
(Universidade Brasil, 2022-09-30) Duarte e Silva, Fábio Carniello; Simonato, Luciana Estevam; Magalhães, Daniel Souza Ferreira
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.
