    A relação entre a irradiação transcutânea do sangue – ILIB modificada e os níveis de cortisol salivar em cuidadores de idosos saudáveis
    (Universidade Brasil, 2021) Trindade, Monaiza Moura; Baptista, Alessandra
    Formal caregivers usually have exhaustive work scale that can trigger emotional changes and a decrease in the quality of life of these professionals. The use of ILIB (Intravascular Laser Irradiation of Blood) can improve the immunological activity of the blood, in addition to facilitating blood circulation and has been used in the treatment of different diseases. The aim of this study was to verify the effects of ILIB, applied transcutaneous, in relation to the levels of salivary cortisol of caregivers of formal elderly in long-term care institutions, who work during the day and night. Forty-two caregivers of formal elderly people were divided into 6 groups: Day Group (DG) (n=7); Day ILIB Group (DILIBG) (n=7); Day ILIB/placebo group (DPG) (n=7); Night Group (NG) (n=7); ILIB Night Group (NILIBG) (n=7); and Night ILIB/placebo Group (NPG) (n=7). Volunteers in the ILIB and ILIB / placebo groups received ILIB, in the radial artery region, by means of a low-power laser (Laser Duo, MMOPTICS, São Carlos, Brazil), l= 660 nm, P = 100 mW / 30 min, every other day, for 2 weeks, totaling 8 sessions of treatment/placebo, while the groups: GD and GN performed salivary collection on the day off and on the workday. All participants answered the quality of life questionnaire (QLQ) before any procedure and saliva collections for volunteers in the ILIB and ILIB/placebo groups were performed before any procedure; 24 h and 48 h after 8 treatment/placebo sessions, while the groups: DN and NG performed salivary collection on the day off and on the workday. The QLQ results did not show statistically significant differences between daytime and nighttime workers (p>0.05). Regarding cortisol quantification, the results showed statistically significant decreases (p<0.05) in salivary cortisol levels, both in the ILIB groups and in the placebo groups. Therefore, we can conclude that it was possible to measure the salivary cortisol levels of caregivers of formal elderly in long-stay institutions, who work day and night, treated or not with ILIB. However, ILIB cannot help to reduce salivary cortisol levels in caregivers of elderly people in long-term care facilities.

    Achados de ultrassonografia 3D com Power Doppler em pacientes com sangramento uterino pós menopausa – uma revisão sistemática de literatura com metanálise
    (Universidade Brasil, 2020) Domiciniano, Fabiana Alvarez; Fávero, Priscila Pereira; Navarro, Ricardo Scarparo
    Introduction: Recently, 3D ultrasound findings with Power Doppler have been introduced as a diagnostic tool for Endometrial Cancer (EC). With this in mind, the main objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the findings of ultrasound power doppler - Endometrial Volume (LV), Vascular Flow Index (IFV), Vascularization Index (IV) and Flow Index (IF) - to determine whether these parameters can improve the detection of FB and estimate, from a meta-analysis, the combined mean values of these parameters for patients with benign and malignant findings. Method: We conducted a systematic review according to the preferred reporting item guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analyzes (PRISMA) limited to the English, Portuguese and Spanish languages of studies published between January 2000 and January 2020. A combined estimate of the median The overall findings of the US with Power Doppler of patients in the benign and malignant group were calculated using a random effects model with inverse variance weighting and visualized using a Forest Plot. Results: 6 studies were included in this meta-analysis which resulted in a total of 652 women with uterine bleeding in the post-menopausal period. The combined mean endometrial volume estimate for women with benign findings was 4.51 mL (95% CI 3.10 - 5.91). The combined mean estimate for malignant findings was 8.42 mL (95% CI 6.11 - 10.74). The combined mean of VI in the benign group was 4.04 (95% CI 2.05 - 6.04) while in the malignant group it was 14.04 (95% CI 10.65 - 17.43). For the flow index, the combined mean for the benign group was 21.67 (95% CI 16.95 - 26.38). The combined mean for malignant findings was 27.84 (95% CI 22.78 - 32.90). Finally, for the VFI the combined mean for the endometriums with malignancy findings was 4.458 (95% CI 1.41 - 7.49). A statistically significant difference was found between the combined mean of the groups (p <0.001). Conclusion: To date, this is the first study that has proposed to estimate average values of 3D ultrasound findings with Power Doppler from the combination of studies described in the literature and it is also the first specific systematic review to include all data from the US 3D Power Doppler The combined average estimate of each of these parameters is extremely important for clinical practice.

    Aderência às legislações vigentes por parte das empresas de alimentação natural para cães e gatos
    (Universidade Brasil, 2021) Frias, Juliana Lopes; Putarov, Thaila Cristina; Pereira, Luiz Arthur Malta
    The humanization of pets has intensified in recent years, this phenomenon has generated an increase in demand for natural foods by dog and cat owners and heated up the pet food market. As a result, there are numerous natural food manufacturers that need information to produce safe foods that meet the requirements of animals. The objective of this dissertation was to collect data and develop technical, simple and objective technical products on regulations, legislation and Good Manufacturing and Food Handling Practices. The study was divided into three stages: (i) development of a virtual questionnaire aimed at natural food manufacturing establishments (homemade); (ii) application of the questionnaire for data collection; (iv) development of technological orienting technical products. The virtual questionnaire was sent to 21 establishments. Ten responses were obtained from the questionnaire, with 90% of establishments selling natural food cooked and frozen. Only 30% of establishments have a technical manager (RT) or advisor for food production. Opportunities for action in this sector can be seen, which is lacking in professionals and adequate technical information. Technological orienting technical products were developed, being: (a) two e-books addressing the following topics: (1) “Why invest in natural food for dogs and cats?”, and (2) “Importance of Good Handling Practices Food in the diet of dogs and cats”; (b) digital platform where content interactivity with the insertion of videos was sought; and (c) profile on social media (Instagram) for dissemination of content and dissemination of consultancy and/or advisory services.

    Aditivo à base de resíduo de mandioca e inoculante bacteriano para silagens de capim elefante BRS Capiaçu
    (Universidade Brasil, 2021) Santos, Anderson Braun dos; Brennecke, Käthery
    During dry periods, there is a drop in the availability and quality of pastures, the main source of food for ruminants in the country, which impairs animal productivity. The use of alternative additives such as agro-industrial residues can be used as additives in silage production. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the fermentative profile, gas and effluent losses, chemical composition and in situ ruminal degradability of BRS Capiaçu elephant grass silage with an additive formulated based on cassava residue, bacterial inoculant Lactobacillus buchneri and urea. The experiment was conducted at the Federal Institute of Rondônia (IFRO), Colorado do Oeste Campus. For the preparation of the formulated additive, cassava residue was used, with moisture reduced to approximately 89% of dry matter. The dry material was mixed with urea and Lactobacillus buchneri. The proportion of 1% of livestock urea on the total weight of cassava meal was used. The inoculant used was Lalsil AS® with Lactobacillus buchneri composition at a concentration of 1.0 x 1011 CFU/g. The dose applied in treatments with the inoculant was equivalent to 1g of commercial additive per ton of natural forage matter. The inoculant and urea were mixed with 100g of cassava meal and this first portion was mixed with the total amount of additive used. The treatments consisted of the levels of inclusion of the additive in the silage, as follows: 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%. Thus, it was observed that the silages that did not receive the additive had less than ideal dry matter content. Inclusion levels of 5% and 10% provided adequate DM levels for BRS Capiaçu silage. For the variable gas loss (PG), pH and ether extract (EE), there were no significant differences between the inclusion levels. The NDF values decreased as the inclusion of the formulated additive was increased, results that ranged from 71% to 33.21%. The NDFi values obtained after 288 hours of ruminal incubation showed significant differences between treatments. A significant difference was observed for the mineral matter (MM) variable, the MM content of the formulated additive is lower than that of Capiaçu. The inclusion of the formulated additive in the BRS Capiaçu elephant grass silage linearly reduced the crude protein (CP) content in the additive silages. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of the additive in BRS Capiaçu elephant grass silage changed the parameters evaluated when compared to silage without the use of these additives, benefiting mainly in the reduction of effluents produced.

    Aditivos zootécnicos associados aos antimicrobianos sobre o desempenho, diferencial de leucócitos e atividade de fagocitose de frangos de corte
    (Universidade Brasil, 2022) Castro, Kenes Leonel de Morais; Sgavioli, Sarah; Santos, Elaine Talita
    The use of zootechnical additives in poultry is an important tool to assist in synergy with the action of antimicrobial performance enhancers (APE). Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the use of zootechnical additives in association with APE on the performance, leukocyte differential and phagocytosis activity of broilers. Were used, 1,400 male chicks of the Cobb® lineage, one day old, distributed in a completely randomized experimental design, with seven treatments, eight replications with 25 birds per experimental unit. The treatments were composed of a basal diet without the use of APE, a basal diet with the addition of APE; basal diet with APE + prebiotics 1 (fructooligosaccharides and galactooligosaccharides) and 2 (1.3 and 1.6 beta-glucans and mannanoligosaccharides); basal diet with APE + prebiotic 1; basal diet with APE + probiotic (Bacillus subtillis LFU160); basal diet with APE + essential oil (cashew nut shell liquid (CSL) and basal diet with APE + organic acid (glycerides of butyric acid). There was an effect (P<0.05) on weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion and the productive efficiency index for broilers from 1 to 44 days of age, with better results for treatments with zootechnical additives plus APE. There was also an effect (P<0.05) on variables related to phagocytosis activity, in general, treatments without APE and with APE, without the use of additives, had the highest percentages and number of occurrences of this activity. The use of zootechnical additives associated with antimicrobials performance enhancers can be used in diets for broiler from 1 to 44 days of age, as they contribute to performance, as well as helping to modulate the poultry's immune system. It can be concluded that zootechnical additives can be used in association with APE to ensure better feed conversion of birds from 1 to 44 days of age and better development of the immune system of broilers, especially in the initial phase.

    Alternativas de tratamento de esgoto em um clube esportivo na cidade de São Paulo
    (Universidade Brasil, 2020) Lopes, Rodrigo Parmezano; Andreani Junior, Roberto
    Basic sanitation of water and sewage is fundamental for the quality of life of the population in both the urban and rural regions. This work presents a technical, economic and environmental analysis of the current scenario of an effluent generated in a sports club located in the city of São Paulo. Its current sewage treatment system was analyzed and, knowing the infrastructure available for it, the results obtained from water and effluent samples submitted to laboratory tests performed at the club's facility were interpreted through technical analysis reports from the club effluent carried out in 2017. The emission of an effluent from a place or establishment for disposal to the environment is considered satisfactory when it meets the parameters of Decree No. 8,468, of September 1976 - Art. 19 A, which deal with the effluent emission standards for launch in the public sewer system (SABESP). Through a literature review on types of effluent treatment available in Brazil this work presents, through a case study, suggestions for technical, environmental and economic improvements related to the operation and installation of effluent treatment in the club in question using Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) for effluent treatment. The main technical advantages are the reduced use of physical area for this process and the satisfactory efficiency of BOD removal (biochemical oxygen demand) that contributes to the reduction of contaminants in the effluent when returned to the environment. As a conclusion, the elaborated study presented possibilities of continuity after the built treatment station, through a monitoring to analyze its eco-efficiency related to the reuse of water.

    The environment in which horses are placed, especially those undergoing reproductive management, is an important aspect to be evaluated. Since reproductive processes can be influenced by well-being issues, disruptions in physiological factors caused by stress can interfere with reproductive performance. The objective of this study was to assess the influence of the collection room ambiance on the behavior, semen volume, and concentration of Quarter Horse stallions. The stallions used had weights ranging from 416 to 505 kg and ages within active sexual maturity, varying from 6 to 24 years, selected based on fertility index. The experimental design employed was a dependent paired-sample design with four stallions. Movements during mounting and dismounting were observed, with a chronological recording of copulatory behavior using a camera attached to a mobile device (Samsung, model SM-A107 M/DS, Galaxy A 10s). Parameters such as muscle contraction, tail movement, and pawing were documented by day, month, and time, with identification of each animal. This analysis was initially conducted at normal video speed, and subsequently, for confirmation, the video speed was slowed down to work with each behavior separately. The frequency (number) of each activity involved in the process and the elapsed time (in seconds) for each activity were recorded. These data were then correlated with the ambiance, assessed by local internal and external temperature, digital device (dry and wet bulb), wind speed, dew point, relative humidity, and black globe index. The model also considered semen volume and concentration. The results did not reveal any influence of the collection room ambiance on the behavior, semen volume, and concentration of Quarter Horse stallions.

    Análise da perda de massa muscular esquelética a partir dos achados de bioimpedância em uma coorte de pacientes submetidos à cirurgia bariátrica
    (Universidade Brasil, 2021) Azevedo, Bruna Santos Silva; Almeida, Vilson Rosa de
    Despite the benefits from bariatric surgery, the techniques employed are not exempt from complications; among them, malnutrition stands out, which can cause important losses of muscle mass. The proposed research aims to investigate the development of Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM) loss in individuals subjected to bariatric surgery, by means of bioimpedance analysis, since it is a simple and reproducible method. Retrospective and observational cohort type study was realized; data were only collected and after approval by the Research Ethics Committee (CAE: 37663019.8.0000.5494). The patients included in the study were attended between January 2019 and January 2020, sought service within 12 months after the surgery, and were followed up with clinical and serial bioimpedance evaluations for, at least, 6 months. The variables of interest were: epidemiological, anthropometric, pre- and post-surgery data, and results of serial bioimpedances. The average survival time until the development of low SMM was estimated by means of the Kaplan-Meier model. α = 5% was defined. Overall, 29 patients were included in the research, 79.3% of whom were female, and the sample had an average age of 38 years. An average difference of 27.6 kg in body mass was found, when compared to the last anthropometric assessment with the values prior to surgery, which proved to be statistically significant (p < 0.001). The average SMM in the first post-surgical bioimpedance was 27.5 kg. After a period of 6 months, the individuals were again evaluated and an average of 26.7 kg was obtained; the loss of SMM was statistically significant (p = 0.033). It was observed that 17.2% of the individuals presented lower SMM values below the lower limit of normality; the Kaplan-Meier survival model estimated a 40% incidence of this outcome in 40 weeks of follow-up. Therefore, the difficulty in losing weight was evidenced, since many patients maintained the body fat percentage above normal after surgery. In addition, a risk of developing SMM loss over time was observed, due to protein deficiencies imposed by the restrictive components of surgery.

    Análise da permeação de óleos em cabelo humano utilizando Espectroscopia Raman confocal.
    (Universidade Brasil, 2024) Grassi, Liliane Trivellato; Martin, Airton Abrahão
    With the different forms of hair treatments that exist today, hair suffers a lot of damage from physical and chemical procedures. So the challenge is to find oils that better permeate the hair fiber up to the inner layer, allowing protection against the aggressions promoted, as natural lipids have a protective function. Copaiba oil is a mixture of light and heavy terpenes and medium-chain fatty acids, which acts as a shine-giving agent and hair recovery agent. Andiroba oil is composed of triglycerides and saturated, monounsaturated and unsaturated fatty acids and coconut oil is composed of saturated fatty acids, giving it great potential to penetrate the hair fiber. The Raman spectroscopy technique allows identifying, with high resolution and specificity, the depth and concentration with which the oils penetrate the fiber. The study aimed to analyze the permeation of copaíba, andiroba and coconut oils in the hair fiber in human hair using the confocal Raman spectroscopy technique. Five untreated hair fibers were considered as control (CTR) and five treated fibers (TTD) for each oil tested. The treatment consisted of depositing 10 µl of the test oil on the five fibers (TTD). Raman spectra were collected before and after 30 minutes of treatment with the oils, from the surface to a depth of 40 µm, corresponding to the cuticle, cortex and medulla every 2 µm. Data pre-processing was done by removing fluorescence, followed by smoothing (Savitzky-Golay filter, grade 5) and vector normalization. After processing the data, the biochemical characterization of the oils was carried out, the marker peaks were identified and, through the calculation of the area under the curve, the permeation profile of each oil was detected. Quantification of the concentration of permeated oil showed proximity between the permeation of copaíba oil (30.14 a.u.) and coconut oil (27.85 a.u.), however, andiroba oil, despite permeating to the deepest layer (medulla), the concentration was lower (14. 09 a.u.) in relation to other oils. This study demonstrated the efficiency of copaíba, coconut and andiroba oils with regard to permeation in hair fibers, generating information for the development of products capable of permeating even the innermost layer of hair fibers, thus providing recovery of damaged hair, ensuring a healthy hair fiber.

    Análise de aberrações ópticas em olhos pseudofácicos opacificação após capsulotomia posterior por YAG laser
    (Universidade Brasil, 2020) Silva, Odenilson; Almeida, Vilson Rosa de
    The posterior lens capsule opacification after cataract surgery is the most common complication and the treatment is performed with the use of ND: YAG laser capsulotomy. The aims of this research is to study high-order optical aberrations in patients with pseudophakic eyes, with posterior capsule opacification, before and after posterior YAG Laser capsulotomy. Experimental, longitudinal, quantitative and prospective clinical study approved by the Research Ethics Committee, according to the opinion nº 3.732.939 CAAE: 24984919.3.0000.5494 where the wavefront aberrations were measured with an aberrometer (OPD III Nidek), immediately before da Nd: YAG laser capsulotomy, and in 15 days after the procedure. The aberration values were converted to Log on base 10 and the comparison of means was performed with the Student's t test for paired samples. The relationships (post and pre capsulotomy) of the aberrations (spherical, coma and trefoil) were compared between groups of degrees of opacification by an ANOVA and when statistically significant, the Tukey Post-Hoc test was performed. 72 pseudophakic eyes were evaluated, being 15 eyes with grade I opacification, 19 eyes with grade II opacification, 22 eyes with grade III opacification and 16 eyes with grade IV opacification. When comparing total aberrations, the Wilcoxon test confirmed a statistically significant reduction in total trefoil aberrations in grade I; grade II trefoil; spherical, coma and trefoil in grade III and coma and trefoil in grade IV. As for internal aberrations in the eyes with grade I opacification, a statistically significant reduction in the averages of coma and trefoil aberrations was found, in grade II in coma aberrations, while in grade III and IV opacifications a significant reduction in coma and trefoil. One-way ANOVA showed that there is no effect of the degree of opacification on the post / pre-capsulotomy ratio for spherical aberrations [F (3.60) = 1.205; p = 0.316]. For coma aberrations, ANOVA also showed that there is no effect of the degree of opacification on the post / pre capsulotomy ratio [F (3.60) = 0.190; p = 0.903]. Likewise, for coma aberrations, the test showed no effect of the degree of opacification [F (3.60) = 0.796; p = 0.501]. It is concluded that after analysis in the four opacification groups it was possible to observe a numerical decrease in the average total of the measurements of all total aberrations after the posterior capsulotomy by YAG laser, as well as for the internal aberrations.
