Prevalência de sarcopenia em idosos sedentários de uma instituição de longa permanência para idosos

Caracterizada pela diminuição da massa muscular, associada a perda da força muscular e da velocidade de marcha (Cruz-Jentof, 2010), a sarcopenia é fortemente relacionada ao sedentarismo, tendo como consequência perdas funcionais e da autonomia em idosos (Mendes et al, 2016); o que sugere o alto risco de prevalência da mesma em idosos institucionalizados. Assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo determinar a prevalência de sarcopenia em idosos de uma ILPI do interior de do estado de São Paulo.

Structural modeling of the cortisols containing sulfur, selenium and tellurium

Molecular modeling of cortisol (hydrocortisone), using Spartan 14 software for Windows, with a good approximation corroborated the structural data previously obtained by the X-ray technique. The calculation of bond lengths and bond angles provided new structural information on the cortisols, in which sulfur, selenium and tellurium were substituted for oxygen in the keto and hydroxyl functional groups. Most of the geometric parameters obtained for cortisol and its derivatives with heavy chalcogens were similar, except for the striking elongation of the key bonds Ch-H, Ch-C and Ch = O.

Relationship between diaphragm ultrasonography and maximum inspiratory pressure

The inhalation process activates the diaphragm muscle, increasing as a result of diaphragmatic contraction. Manovacuometry stands out for being a fundamental resource in the prescription of respiratory muscle training. Thus, the use of muscle thickness by ultrasound has been frequently used in investigations, evaluating the adaptations of diaphragmatic muscle. The aim of this study was to verify the correlation between the manovacuometric measurements and the diaphragmatic cross section area seen through ultrasound.

Ensino de ética na educação básica no brasil: um ensaio teórico sobre o dia a dia de um professor de música

Trata-se de um ensaio teórico sobre o dia a dia de um professor de música da educação básica no Brasil.

Duality in cyclical trends in the West African CFA franc zone between 1970 and 2007

The purpose of this study is to verify if the West African Economic and Monetary Union can be identified as a becoming optimum monetary area in terms of existing synchronization of national economic cycles, as it known that their single currency rather belongs to an economic arrangement created during colonization. This paper provides the identification of a common cycle of the west African CFA Franczone, expressed as either an aggregate national cycle or a common cycle coming out of a multivariate analysis of the cycle.
