Nutritional status, copper and zin in patoents with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
No full textForam avaliados 46 pacientes com Artrite Reumatoide Juvenil (ARJ), 23 do sexo masculino, com idade media de 10 anos e 2 meses, quanto ao estado nutricionai, cobre e zinco, relacionados com as caracteristicas da doenca (tipo evolutivo, atividade ou remissao, idade de inicio, tempo de evolucao e numero de articulacoes acometidas) e com o uso de corticoterapia; sendo o grupo controle constituido por 24 criancas e adolescentes saudaveis. Para a avaliacao antropometrica, utilizou-se os criterios de Estatura para Idade (EII) e indice de Massa Corporal (IMC); para a dietetica, o metodo do Registro Alimentar, sendo o calculo realizado por meio do programa Virtual Nutri e a determinacao de cobre e zinco sericos por spectrofotometria de absorcao atomica. Os resultados das analises que relacionaram a antropometria, inGestão calorica, proteica, de cobre e de zinco e niveis sericos de cobre e zinco com as caracteristicas da ARJ permitiram concluir que os tipos poiiarticular tanto em atividade quanto em remissao e sistemico em atividade sao os que repercutem em maior comprometimento do estado nutricionai; a estatura pode ser recuperada nos periodos de remissao; a atividade, o numero de articulacoes acometidas e o uso de corticoseroides > 6 meses levam ao maior comprometimento da estatura. Estao diretamente relacionadas ao aumento do cobre serico a atividade e o numero de articulacoes acometidas; no tipo pauciarticular em atividade existe relacao direta entre a inGestão e os niveis sericos deste elemento e quanto ao zinco ha comprometimento dos niveis sericos no tipo poliarticular em atividade quando a inGestão deste e diminuidaBV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertaçõe
Zinc nutritional status of obese children
No full textObjetivo: Avaliar o estado nutricional relativo ao zinco em criancas pre-puberes grande obesas. Metodos: Foram avaliados 57 pre-puberes grande obesos, 31 do sexo masculino, com relacao peso para estatura (PIE) superior a 140 por cento e com idades entre 2,1 a 10,9 anos. Para a avaliacao antropometrica utilizou-se os criterios de (PIE) e estatura em relacao a idade (Eli); para a dietetica, o metodo do Registro Alimentar, sendo o calculo realizado por meio do programa Virtual Nutri; a determinacao do zinco serico e eritrocitario foi realizada por espectrofotometria de absorcao atomica; foram aferidos: hormonios tireoideanos, glicemia, insulinemia, colesterol total e fracoes, triglicerideos e pressao arterial. Resultados: 47 por cento das criancas apresentaram probabilidade de 70 por cento de inadequacao de inGestão de zinco e inGestão energetica inferior ao gasto energetico total. Dislipidemia, hipertensao arterial e resistencia periferica a insulina estiveram presentes em, respectivamente, 74,5, 38,6 e 22,8 por cento das criancas. O zinco serico apresentou valor medio acima dos valores de referencia e o contrario ocorreu quanto ao zinco eritrocitario. Observou-se correlacao linear decrescente entre o PIE e o zinco eritrocitario (R= -0,34; P=0,01), bem como entre a glicemia e o zinco serico (R= 0,26; P=0,05) e correlacao linear crescente entre a glicemia e o PIE (R= 0,28; P =0,03). Conclusoes: A sindrome metabolica esta presente na maioria dos pre-puberes grande obesos; a inGestão de zinco dietetico nao guarda relacao com niveis sericos e eritrocitarios de zinco; pre-puberes grande obesos apresentam disponibilidade de zinco, representado pelo alto nivel serico e estoque insuficiente, representado pelo baixo nivel eritrocitario; quanto maior o grau de obesidade, maior o comprometimento dos estoques de zincoBV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertaçõe
Avaliação qualitativa do cardápio oferecido aos colaboradores de uma unidade de alimentação e nutrição hospitalar
Get PDFThe purpose of this study was to analyze the quality of the one-month lunch menu offered to the employees of a Hospital Food and Nutrition Unit of the city of São Paulo using the method of Qualitative Evaluation of the Menu Preparations. The presence of fresh fruits, fried, sweet, fried together with sweets, fatty meats, leafy vegetables, two or more foods rich in sulfur (except beans) and color monotony were analyzed. There was daily use of leafy and sweet vegetables, high frying (96,4%) and sweet frying (96,4%). There was a low supply of fruits (32,1%), fatty meat (21,4%), foods rich in sulfur (10,7%) and color monotony (3,6%). The items related to the supply of fruit, fried and sweet were considered inadequate due to their high offers, so some points should be replanned, aiming to promote the improvement of the eating habits of hospital employees.Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar a qualidade do cardápio do almoço de um mês oferecido aos colaboradores de uma Unidade de Alimentação e Nutrição hospitalar do município de São Paulo pelo método de Avaliação Qualitativa das Preparações do Cardápio. Foram analisados a presença de frutas in natura, fritura, doces, fritura em conjunto com doces, carnes gordurosas, vegetais folhosos, dois ou mais alimentos ricos em enxofre (exceto feijão) e monotonia de cores. Verificou-se a utilização diária de vegetal folhoso e doce, elevada oferta de fritura (96,4%), e, doce em conjunto com fritura (96,4%). Houve baixa oferta de frutas (32,1%), carnes gordurosas (21,4%), alimentos ricos em enxofre (10,7%) e monotonia de cores (3,6%). Os itens relativos à oferta de fruta, fritura e doce foi considerada inadequada devido suas ofertas elevadas, assim, alguns pontos devem ser replanejados, visando a promoção da melhoria dos hábitos alimentares dos colaboradores do hospital
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
