Item 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 FerreiraTechnology 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.Item 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 FerreiraScorpionism 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.Item Avaliação dos efeitos da ILIB modificada transdérmica na reabilitação cardiopulmonar na síndrome Pós-COVID-19(Universidade Brasil, 2022-08-19) Chaves, Camila Teixeira de Oliveira Penna; Frade-Barros, Amanda FaragePost-COVID syndrome are persistent symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, memory loss, fatigue, muscle weakness, hair loss, and other symptoms. Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation should be started early for these patients. Modified transdermal ILIBm (Intravascular Laser Irradiation of Blood) is a blood and systemic photobiomodulation therapy that may contribute to improvement in general conditions and rehabilitation after infection. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacyof the use of transdermal ILIBm in the radial artery associated with cardiopulmonar rehabilitation in post-COVID-19 patients. This is a randomized controlled clinical trialwith 12 volunteers of both sexes. We divided into 2 randomized groups, ILIBm groupwith 30 minutes irradiation and the cardiopulmonary rehabilitation and compared withthe control group ILIBm off and the cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, evaluated beforeand after the program. The interventions were performed 2x per week for 4 weeks. Peak expiratory flow, Walk Test (6 min), Dynamometry, Muscle Strength (MRC), Quality of life (SARC-VIDA software, which is based on the SF-36 questionnaire), andbiochemical and hematological tests were evaluated. The rehabilitation program consisted of aerobic exercises, resistance training, and respiratory training. The resultsobtained in the intergroup analysis showed non-significant statistics, in the intragroupanalysis significant positive results in the ILIBm group, with improvement in musclestrength by dynamometry, in peak expiratory flow, in the BORG scale during the 6-minute walk test and in quality of life in the vitality and functional capacity parameters.Even with some statistically insignificant results, 100% of the participants reported atthe end improvement of symptoms or even disappearance in both groups. Weconclude that cardiopulmonary rehabilitation is necessary in patients convalescingfrom post-covid-19 syndrome and when associated with ILIBm showed greater resultsin the parameters of muscle strength, peak expiratory flow, 6-minute walk test andquality of life.Item Asma em adultos x crianças : diferenças entre a função pulmonar e a mecânica e os mediadores fibróticos pulmonares(Universidade Brasil, 2022-02-10) Figueiredo, José Eduardo Garbelini; Vieira, Rodolfo de PaulaItem Efeitos da prática regular da atividade física sobre a função pulmonar no contexto do estresse crônico relacionado ao trabalho(Universidade Brasil, 2022-06-24) Scarano, Kleber Torres; Vieira, Rodolfo de PaulaCircadian rhythm changes negatively impact several aspects of health, including lung function. The chronic shift work scale classically induces changes in circadian rhythm. On the other hand, regular physical activity is able to improve and preserve lung function. In this sense, although it has already been shown that military policeofficers working on an alternate shift schedule present alterations in lung function, itis not known how much regular physical activity is able to preserve or prevent thedecline of lung function in this population, what is the purpose of this project. In thiscontext, military police officers(n=25;38.73±6.92 years) who work on a 12 x24hour and 12 x 48 hour non-physically active work scale will be evaluated incomparison with military police officers (n=25;32.92±5.87 years) who work on a 12 x 24-hour work scale and 12 x 48 hours who engage in physical activity. The parameters evaluated will be: lung function and pulmonary mechanics. Statisticalanalysis and graphics will be performed using the Graphpad Prism 5.0 softwares. Theunpaired Student t test will be used for comparison between groups. The value ofp≤0.05 will be considered as statistically different.Item Efeitos da fotobiomodulação e cinesioterapia no tratamento da osteoartrite de joelho: estudo clínico, prospectivo e randomizado(Universidade Brasil, 2020) Lima, Geovane Elias Guidini; Baptista, AlessandraOsteoarthritis is a chronic joint disease characterized by gradual destruction of cartilage, which can generate pain, muscle weakness, deficit in the range of motion, stiffness and impairment in function. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of kinesiotherapy associated or not with photobiomodulation on the intensity of pain, range of motion, physical function and muscle strength of the quadriceps femoris and hamstrings in patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). 28 patients participated in this study, randomly divided into 2 treatment groups, performed 3 times a week, for 6 weeks: Kinesiotherapy Group (KG), submitted to stretching, self mobilization, muscle strengthening and sensorimotor training and Kinesiotherapy and Photobiomodulation Group (KPG), submitted to the same program as the KG followed by infrared laser irradiation (808 nm, 100mW - 5 points in the medial joint region of Joelho and 4 points lateral, 3J / point; 30 s per point). Blinded evaluators assessed pain at rest and movement and range of motion using the visual analog scale (VAS) and goniometry, respectively. To assess physical function, the WOMAC questionnaire (Western Ontario and MacMaster University Osteoarthritis Index) and functional tests were used: Sit and stand test; 2 min walk test. The muscular strength of the quadriceps and hamstrings were measured using an isometric dynamometer. The evaluations were performed in 4 moments: before (EV0), during (EV1: 3 weeks of treatment), at the end (EV2: after 6 weeks of treatment) and 30 days after the end of treatment (follow-up). When comparing treatments, the combination of treatments showed a reduction in joint pain intensity at rest, an increase in knee flexion amplitude, an improvement in physical function and an increase in muscle strength of quadriceps femoris when compared to KG (p <0.05). In the intra-group analysis, our results showed a significant improvement in all variables studied (p <0.05), and in some variables only after 3 weeks of intervention. we can conclude that a kinesiotherapy associated with photobiomodulation can be a good adjunctive treatment in OAJ.Item Efeito clínico da fotobiomodulação transcraniana em paratletas com paralisia cerebral(Universidade Brasil, 2020) Garcez, Edna de Morais; Baptista, AlessandraTranscranial photobiomodulation (t-PBM) is a non-invasive therapy modality that promotes increased of cerebral energy metabolism and antioxidant defenses. This therapy uses light, usually from a laser or LED to stimulate mitochondrial metabolism, promoting a higher energy supply in the cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of t-PBM on motor and intralimbal coordination of brain-damaged parathletes. Six parathletes were evaluated, classified according to the parameters defined by the International Paralympic Committee, in BC1, BC2 and BC3, aged between 23 and 41 years. Each parathlete was submitted to t-PBM of the whole head through a helmet composed of 204 LEDS, with interspersed wavelengths of 660 and 850 nm (CAPELLUX I9, Comedical, Mauá / SP, Brazil), 3 times per week on alternate days, for 15 min, for 2 weeks. To assess the effects of t-PBM, manual dexterity and intralimbal coordination tests (ILC) were performed before the start of treatment, 7 days and 14 days after. The results showed how the continuous movements for the evaluation of manual dexterity and tested ILC, seem to have the capacity to distinguish the motor limitations of the players, confirming the classification of the International Paralympic Committee. The evaluation of the manual dexterity showed a significant gradual improvement in the manual dexterity, after t-PBM sessions, for both the dominant and non-dominant hands (p<0.05). The evaluation tests of the ILC showed that there was no reduction in the time to perform horizontal movements in both the dominant and non-dominant hands, after 3 and 6 sessions of t-PBM (p>0.05). However, the evaluations of the vertical movements showed that there was a reduction in the execution time of the exercise in the dominant hand, between the initial and the final evaluation and in the non-dominant hand, the reduction in time occurred only between the second and the third evaluation (p <0.05). Finally, the continuous vertical touch test showed a gradual and significant increase in the number of vertical movements in the two groups tested, when compared to the initial and final values (p<0.05). Therefore, we can conclude that t-PBM presents itself as an effective alternative in the improvement of motor coordination, assessed through tests of manual dexterity and intralimbal coordination, in practicing athletes of adapted bocce.Item Efeitos da fotobiomodulação no desempenho esportivo de paratletas de natação - uma série de casos(Universidade Brasil, 2020) Garcez, Aguinaldo Silva; Baptista, AlessandraPhotobiomodulation (PBM) uses light, usually from a laser or LED, to stimulate, heal and / or regenerate damaged tissues. Recently, it has been used to increase sports performance in athletes. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effects of PBM on cardiorespiratory function and swimming performance in parathletes. Ten young adult parathletes, men and women, swimmers of the AACD team, São Paulo - Brazil, were tested before and after the PBM applied to the upper musculature. They are diagnosed with cerebral palsy, myelomeningocele and congenital malformation. Before the test, they performed a 10 min swim warm-up in a 50 m pool. They rested for 1 min and their heart rate was recorded. Parathletes performed 3 swimming sessions, in freestyle, with maximum effort, with an interval of 5 min between each series and the average performance time was recorded. After a recovery period of one week, the upper muscles: biceps, deltoid and trapezius were irradiated, bilaterally, for 10 min, with a set of LEDs, each area receiving 108 J. After every 50 m of swimming, performance time, peak heart rate and recovery after 1 min were recorded. Comparisons were made before, after irradiation with PBM and after placebo, in a crossover design. All the parathletes improved the time in the 50 m swim. On average, the time decreased about 4 s after PBM and about 1.5 s after placebo. The peak heart rate was 10% lower after irradiation, when compared to non irradiated placebo. The recovery heart rate was also better for all athletes. The results suggest that a muscle preconditioning regime, using PBM with low-power infrared laser, before intense exercise can modulate the function of the upper musculature and the recovery of heart rate, leading to a better swimming performance in young adult parathletes.Item Aplicativo móvel multiplataformas para gestão de cuidados para idosos(Universidade Brasil, 2021) Chagas, Renata Kelen; Nunez, Silvia CristinaThe aging of the world population has been taking place in recent decades as result of the decrease in birth rates and better health care that allows for an increase in life expectancy. Senile dementias are examples of diseases that can affect the elderly, reducing independence and self-care. With the presence of women in the labor market and the reduced number of children, the elderly must often live under the care of others who have professional experience to provide appropriate medical care, but lack of contact with the family and unfamiliarity with habits and tastes can reduce the quality of life of the elderly. Technological advances must be used to reduce the distance between families, caregivers, doctors and the elderly. The objective of this work is to develop an application for mobile devices that facilitates communication between health service providers for the elderly residing in long-stay institutions. The CuidaLife application was developed for a software operating system with input modules for registering elderly people, family members, doctors and caregivers. The developed application can be accessed through any smartphone, tablet or computer, as long as it has internet access. Its layout is responsive, that is, it adjusts according to the screen size of the equipment. The elderly registration modules were designed to allow the exchange of information about the elderly not only medical, but also including food preferences, habits that are important for daily well-being and exchange of personal photos between family and elderly. The caregivers module allows the exchange of information between caregivers' shifts, with information relevant to the care of the elderly, and the medical module allows access to health information relevant to the monitoring of the elderly. The application worked well and can represent an easy and safe way to improve the quality of life of individuals who depend on third parties for their care.Item Análise do Desempenho Laboral de Deficientes Intelectuais Inseridos em uma Rede Varejista nos Municípios de Itabuna e Ilhéus: pesquisa de campo, com abordagem investigativa de caráter qualitativo e quantitativo(Universidade Brasil, 2020) Matos, Rebeca Rodrigues Faislon; Baptista, AlessandraCompanies seek, within a technical and human complexity, to build work processes that meet the expectations of customers who request specific quality services and adapted to their needs. The objective of this work was to evaluate the productivity and adaptability of employees with intellectual disabilities (ID) inserted in the labor market in a retail chain in the municipalities of Itabuna and Ilhéus. Twenty individuals with ID and 20 individuals without such impairment were evaluated, inserted in the organizational context as a packager. The assessments were made by managers and co-workers without intellectual commitment, in order to assess how the interpersonal relationships of these employees with ID and their contribution to the company are established, and finally an interview was conducted with employees with ID to assess the profile of these employees and the degree of satisfaction in being inserted in the labor market. The results of the managers' assessment showed statistically significant differences (p<0.05) in relation to behavioral characteristics, interpersonal relationships and productivity between employees with and without ID. With regard to attendance and customer service, the managers' assessment did not show statistically significant differences between those assessed (p>0.05). The questionnaire among the peers showed that employees with ID perform well at work, in interpersonal relationships with other employees and with customers, and that the hiring of these individuals is highly regarded by society and by co-workers. And finally, the interviews with employees with ID showed that 95% of those hired with ID, by the evaluated institutions, are male and the results showed positive unanimity of employees with ID in relation to their role and the help of other employees. Therefore, we can conclude that the evaluations performed showed the relevance of the work in terms of reducing the social stigma of the employee with ID, as well as expanding the possibility of hiring these individuals.
