Particulate matter analysis in indoor environments of urban and rural primary s...

Passive sampling methodology was applied to collect particulate matter (PM) in classrooms of urban and rural primary schools. The samples were taken during a year by passive deposition allowing the study of seasonal variability of the particles masses and chemical content.Chemical characterization of the collected particleswas performed in order to measure its soluble ions content and elemental composition. To ...

Pseudoaneurisma Iatrogénico da Aorta Ascendente: uma Complicação Esquecida

O pseudoaneunisma da aorta ascendente é uma complicação rara da cirurgia cardíaca. A sua elevada mortalidade torna importante o seu diagnóstico atempado e intervenção precoce. Os autores apresentam o caso de uma doente do sexo feminino, submetida a valvuloplastia mitral 12 dias antes, internada com o diagnóstico de fibrilhação auricular com resposta ventricular rápida. O ecocardiograma transtorácico inicial mos...

Eating behaviours in youths : a comparison between female and male athletes and...

Article first published online: 25 JUL 2013 ; Objective: This study compared the different factors associated with eating behaviours among young female and male athletes and non-athletes. Method: A total of 580 female and male athletes and 362 female and male non-athletes between 10 and 19 years old participated. We used the subscales of the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) to evaluate the factors associated wit...

Iatrogenic aortic pseudoaneurysm: A forgotten complication

Pseudoaneurysms of the ascending aorta are a rare complication of cardiac surgery. However, the poor prognosis associated with this condition if untreated makes early diagnosis and treatment important. We present the case of a 66-year-old woman who had undergone mitral valvuloplasty 12 days previously, who was admitted with a diagnosis of new-onset atrial fibrillation. The transthoracic echocardiogram showed a ...

Biomarkers of exposure to metal dust in exhaled breath condensate: methodology ...

In occupational assessments where workers are exposed to metal dust, the liquid condensate of exhaled breath (EBC) may provide unique indication of pulmonary exposure. The main goal of this study was to demonstrate the quality of EBC to biological monitoring of human exposure. A pilot study was performed in a group of metal dust–exposed workers and a group of nonexposed individuals working in offices. Only meta...

Exhaled breath condensate as a biomonitor for metal exposure: a new analytical ...

The study of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) obtained by cooling exhaled air under conditions of spontaneous breathing is considered one of the areas with higher interest in respiratory health research. The use of EBC for elemental determination in occupational exposure requires a standard methodological procedure to implement its practice in occupational studies. EBC is an inhomogeneous sample with organic and...

Prescrição Antibiótica no Serviço de Urgência Pediátrica de um Hospital Nível...

RESUMO Introdução: A descoberta da penicilina, no final da década de 1920, revolucionou a ciência e trouxe a medicina para a era moderna. Desde então, muitos outros antibióticos surgiram no mercado. Atualmente, um dos maiores problemas da medicina é o uso indiscriminado dos antibióticos e, consequentemente o surgimento de bactérias resistentes. Neste contexto, a utilização adequada dos antibióticos é fun...
