Morphological adjustments of the radial nerve are intensity-dependent

Abstract: Introduccion: La adaptacion de los nervios perifericos es fundamental para el aumento de fuerza. Sin embargo, la informacion sobre el efecto de la intensidad sobre la morfologia del nervio es escasa. Objetivo: Comparar el efecto de diferentes intensidades de entrenamiento de resistencia en las estructuras del nervio radial. Metodos: Las ratas se dividieron en tres grupos: control (GC) y entrenamiento con 50% (GF1) y con 75% (GF2) del peso corporal del animal. El analisis morfologico del nervio se hizo con microscopia optica y electronica de transmision. Se aplicaron la prueba ANOVA de una via y la prueba post hoc de Tukey y el nivel de significacion se fijo en p ≤ 0,05. Resultados: Los grupos de entrenamiento tuvieron aumento de la fuerza con respecto al grupo control (p ≤ 0,05). Todos los componentes medidos del nervio (area media y diametro de las fibras de mielina y axones, area media y espesor de la vaina de mielina, neurofilamentos y microtubulos) fueron mayores en GF2 en comparacion con los otros grupos (p ≤ 0,05). Conclusion: Los resultados mostraron mayores cambios morfologicos en el nervio radial despues de las cargas mas pesadas. Esto puede ser importante para terapias de rehabilitacion, entrenamiento y progresion.

Obesidade infantil e fatores de risco cardiovasculares

Abstract: Introducao: A obesidade e uma doenca de prevalencia crescente e que, atualmente, assume carater epidemiologico como principal problema de saude publica na sociedade contemporânea. Decorre de fatores geneticos, comportamentais e ambientais e pode se iniciar em qualquer idade. Entretanto quando surge precocemente nos primeiros anos de vida, predispoe a sua presenca em idades mais tardias e esta associada a diferentes comorbidades. Objetivo: Revisar a literatura sobre a etiologia da obesidade infantil e identificar os principais fatores de risco cardiovasculares associados a obesidade. Metodos: Utilizaram-se os sites cientificos Medline, Scielo e Pubmed para consultar as palavras-chave: obesidade, criancas e doencas cardiovasculares. Resultados: Os fatores comportamentais e ambientais foram citados como principais causas da epidemia de obesidade. Os principais fatores de risco cardiovasculares estao associados a hipertensao e disfuncao autonomica. Conclusao: A obesidade infantil esta relacionada com a prevalencia aumentada de doencas metabolicas e cardiovasculares em idade precoce.

Oil Spill Sorber Based on Extrinsically Magnetizable Porous Geopolymer.

Abstract: Environmental impacts are increasingly due to the human polluting activities. Therefore, there is a need to develop technologies capable of removing contamination and driving the impacted environment as close as possible to its inherent characteristics. One of the major problems still faced is the spill of oil into water. Therefore, to solve the environmental problem, this work shows the use of magnetically modified geopolymer materials as an oil remover from water with a magnet’s aid. The results obtained were outstanding since the average intrinsic oil removal capability (IORC) was 150 g/g. The presented IORC is the largest found in the materials produced by our research group, constituting an extremely encouraging result, mainly because of the ease of preparing the magnetic geopolymer system. Furthermore, the low cost of production and the material’s capability to be reused as filler of polymer or even cementitious matrices allows us to project that this nanocomposite can be widely used, constituting an economically viable alternative for more efficient environmental recovery processes.

O texto escrito como recurso didático nas aulas de educação física: perspectivas e experiências dos professores

Abstract: physical education and understand the perceptions and practices constructed by teachers using this resource in their classes. Was interviewed 21 teachers, who believe in the relevance of this intervention, and select diverse topics related to current physical education texts, with consistent pedagogy with what the literature suggests. That we see that they care about the contribution of Physical Education for the construction of the reader, without neglecting the specific knowledge area.
