A pandemia de COVID-19 e os impactos na saúde pública do estado do Rio de Janeiro
Resumo:
Introduction: The new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, which causes COVID-19 disease, has a variable clinical spectrum, which can cause asymptomatic and oligosymptomatic infections, but which may evolve requiring hospital care and even ventilatory support. Thus, the study aims to describe by means of indicators the impact of the pandemic on the availability of hospital beds in the municipalities of the State of Rio de Janeiro. Material and methods: A cross-sectional spatial ecological study was carried out, with a quantitative approach. The data were based on epidemiological bulletins for monitoring cases of COVID-19 in the municipalities of the State of Rio de Janeiro, for the period from March 1 to June 13, 2020, where 9 health regions covering 92 municipalities were analyzed of State. Results and discussion: It was observed that the region with the highest incidence, equivalent to 3,47/100.000 population, corresponds to the Baixada Litorânea region, however considering the absolute population the largest number of cases occurred in Metropolitan I, with 197,445, being 144,199 in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro. In addition to the descriptive analysis, Pearson's correlation was calculated and the result was 0.98, at the 5% level, which confirms that the correlation value is significant. Final considerations: It is evident that the State should intensify educational policies that seek to raise the population's awareness of how to spread the virus and expand strategies for rapid virus identification, isolation and early treatment, due to the lack of availability hospitalization beds to attend all cases of COVID that evolve with complications.

Efeitos da terapia com a expansão rápida maxilar na síndrome da apneia obstrutiva do sono
Resumo:
Obstructive sleep apnea and maxillary atresias are increasingly discussed, as there is a causal relationship between them, and the proposed treatment is by means of rapid maxillary expansion, being of great importance to analyze early. The objective is to manifest the effects of the expansion in the correction of atresias and crossbites with a consequent improvement in the signs and symptoms of the apnea syndrome and in the quality of life. The preliminary exploratory study included selecting articles from databases such as Pubmed, Scielo, Cpaps, Pediatrics, Science direct, Archives of Healts, in addition to conclusion work and the Google platform. Craniofacial abnormalities can predispose to OSAS, due to the reduction of air space that makes breathing difficult, in addition to insufficient space for the tongue, which results in inadequate craniofacial growth, this is justified by the close relationship between the oral cavity and the respiratory system, and with these characteristics it is possible to identify clinical signs such as snoring and to wake up with a dry mouth frequently, by sleeping with your mouth open. We concluded with the expansion, that the opening of the medial palatal suture displaces the walls of the cavity, increasing the volume and decreasing its resistance, thereby facilitating the passage of air through the nose and improving the position of the tongue, that is, there is an improvement in the signs and symptoms and quality of life in mild to moderate cases, requiring further study in severe cases and in which the growth spurt has already been overcome.

O marco sanitário na alimentação escolar: um estudo dos agricultores participantes do PNAE em Ladainha/MG
Resumo:
This work presents part of the studies related to the Master's thesis in Rural Studies at the Federal University of Vales do Jequitinhonha and Mucuri (UFVJM). The methodology adopted was Content Analysis of interviews conducted with family farmers participating in the National School Feeding Program (PNAE) in the municipality of Ladainha MG. We seek to reflect on the challenges pointed out by farmers on the health adequacy of their production systems for commercialization with the PNAE, which, through Law No. 11,947 / 2009, determined the acquisition of foodstuffs produced by local family farming in school meals. Considering that this policy, in addition to guaranteeing food security in schools, encompasses the promotion of family farming, it was necessary for farmers to pay attention to the criteria set out in Resolution / RDC n ° 49/2013 that regulates the exercise of the activity of health interest of the individual microentrepreneur, rural family enterprise and economic solidarity enterprise. Such a resolution became effective in the scope of the PNAE from the year 2013, impacting farmers who already marketed to schools via PNAE since the year 2009 through Law No. 11,947. The present work aims to contribute to the discussion about the impacts that this health framework has been causing in the (non) participation of family farmers in the PNAE in Ladainha MG.

A cultura e os hábitos familiares da prática de atividades físicas e as tendências à obesidade
Resumo:
This research seeks, in an exploratory way, to evaluate the following question: are there relations between cultural aspects and family habits related to physical activities and tendencies to obesity in adulthood? The objective is to relate the habits and frequency of physical activities and the tendencies to obtain high levels of obesity in the current phase of the individual, assessed from the BMI (Body Mass Index). Specifically, it seeks to assess whether cultural aspects of families and habits over the life of the individual remain over time. Also, if this relationship between habits and other socioeconomic aspects influences the current condition, from the reference indicator. The research was carried out in 2019 and 2020 in the western region of Parana and uses a non-probabilistic sample, based on primary data. The data were processed with the SPSS software and descriptive statistics were used to evaluate the results. The main methodology, however, was the use of data crossing (crosstabs), evaluating the proposed relationships. The results show relationships between culture and habits throughout the individual’s life with their obesity situation based on the BMI estimate. Notably, the frequency of physical activities since childhood and their stay in adulthood, provide conditions for better health conditions, based on the established indicator. Relationships involving family income were not relevant in the process related to habits and culture related to exercises. The answers show that the frequency of activities also provides the perception of physical and mental well-being. From these results, it is proposed that the theme be in evidence in elementary education.

Pesquisa de resíduos de antibióticos em leite in natura, pasteurizado e UHT
Resumo:
The presence of antibiotic residues in milk may occur due to their deliberate addition to the animal's feed and the final product or, due to non-compliance with the latency period after administration of these drugs in dairy animals, thus leading to undesirable reactions to humans, such as hypersensitivity, bacterial resistance and imbalance of the intestinal microbiota. Thus, the objective of the research was to investigate the presence of antibiotic residues in fresh, pasteurized and UHT milk samples marketed in the cities of Bela Cruz and Sobral, located in Ceará. Ninety milk samples were analyzed, of which 30 were fresh milk, 30 pasteurized milk and 30 UHT milk. Qualitative analyzes of antibiotic residue detection in milk were performed following the instructions in the Cow Side II Test kit. Of the 90 samples studied, 63.33% were positive for the presence of antibiotics, where 70% of the fresh milk samples, 73.33% of the pasteurized and 46.67% of the UHT milk samples showed positive reaction to the presence of antibiotics. antibiotics. It was concluded that in the majority of the samples studied there was the presence of antibiotic residues and the present residues were not quantified to compare with the acceptable limit due to the qualitative kit used for the tests. It should also be noted that despite the non-quantification, the presence of these residues should still be considered a concern for consumers, as it is known that they can cause allergic reactions in individuals with hypersensitivity, as well as exposing consumers to other serious risks.

The hamburger is a food very appreciated and consumed by the population of diverse age groups. In order to improve the nutritional quality of this meat product the objective is to develop a hamburger with different amounts of sorghum flour: 2.5; 5.0; 7.5 and 10% and indicators of physical, chemical, microbiological and sensory properties. The hamburgers presented microbiological levels according to the one recommended by the Brazilian Legislation and pH values (5.64-5.72) suitable for meat products, showing that the product is suitable for consumption. The results of the oven humidity characteristics at 105 °C for 5 hours showed that the cooked hamburger of the F4 formulation obtained a higher humidity (63.02%) than the other samples. In the parameter color (L*, a* and b*) it was observed that the higher the concentration of flour, the more intense the color of the hamburger. Instrumental analysis of the shear force showed that the addition of sorghum flour did not significantly affect the texture of the burgers having formulation 1 having a texture of 1.80 kgf/s and formulation 4 having a texture of 1.86 kgf/s. The baking values showed that the hamburgers with the highest percentage of sorghum flour had a higher moisture retention capacity (92.66%), with a higher yield (89.14%) and a lower shrinkage of the samples with a higher amount of flour (9.48%) contributing to greater succulence. The sensorial analysis using the nine-point hedonic scale, with 103 consumers, found that all the evaluated attributes (overall evaluation, color, taste, texture, purchase intention) had in the 4 formulations presented, good sensory acceptance and purchase intension, but formulation 2 was the best accepted by consumers.

Determinação da frequência de micronúcleos em células esfoliativas da mucosa oral em indivíduos fumantes e etilistas
Resumo:
Smoking has been described as the main risk factor in the development of malignant and premalignant lesions in the oral mucosa, and alcohol consumption, on the other hand, is cited as a strong potential agent in triggering cancerous lesions. The study aimed to evaluate the frequency of micronuclei in exfoliative cells of the oral mucosa of smokers and alcoholics, comparing them with non-exposed individuals. Forty volunteers were selected and distributed in 4 groups containing individuals exposed to smoking and alcohol and not exposed. To determine the micronucleus frequency, the micronucleus assay technique was used in oral mucosal cells. The cells examined were collected using cytobrush brush and stained with Feulgen/Fast-green techniques. In the present study, the frequency of micronuclei in the groups exposed to tobacco and alcohol genotoxicity was significantly higher (P < 0.01) when compared to the control group. The association between alcohol and tobacco increased the appearance of micronucleus in the continuous users of these two substances (P < 0.05). Smokers and consumers of alcoholic beverages present higher amounts of cytotoxic damage to oral mucosa cells caused by the action of carcinogens present in cigarette smoke and alcohol.

Valorização de resíduos agroindustriais: fontes de nutrientes e compostos bioativos para a alimentação humana
Resumo:
O aumento da produção de alimentos tem levado ao crescimento da geração de resíduos agroindustriais. O resíduo gerado precisa ser tratado antes de ser descartado, o que demanda custo e trabalho, e quando o descarte é feito de forma incorreta, os resíduos podem causar prejuízos ambientais. Alguns tipos de resíduos são passíveis de destinação para alimentação animal e humana devido a sua composição nutricional, entretanto a maioria deles são pouco explorados quanto as diferentes aplicações que poderiam ter. Os resíduos da produção vinícola, tanto cascas como sementes, podem ser considerados fontes de compostos fenólicos. Na casca da uva, as antocianidinas e os taninos condensados são encontrados em abundância, além dos polissacarídeos (celulose, pectinas e glucomananas). Resíduos como os das cervejarias, têm apresentado quantidades significativas de fibras e proteínas, além de compostos bioativos com atividade antioxidante elevada. Resíduos da produção de suco de laranja são ricos em fibras, óleos essenciais, carboidratos solúveis e insolúveis, e são geralmente destinados a alimentação animal ou descartados. O reaproveitamento de resíduos é uma alternativa que não beneficia somente as indústrias, agregando valor ao que era descartado, mas também podem enriquecer a alimentação humana com ingredientes nutritivos, os quais podem trazer benefícios à saúde, e que são provenientes de fontes naturais.

Ingredientes funcionais e seus benefícios a saúde humana
Resumo:
Food technology is increasingly working on the development of products with bioactive molecules, called as functional foods, those that are good for health. The study of new ingredients for the food industry that can provide bioactive molecules is of great interest. The modern life of the world population has led to an increase in oxidative stress, thus increasing free radicals that damage healthy cells and can develop chronic diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, premature aging, among others. Several studies with natural molecules have been carried out to combat and/or reduce these radicals, with polyphenols being one of the most studied components. In addition to studying the antioxidant activity of polyphenols, the scientific community has also been concerned with dietary fibers, prebiotics, and others. The consumer is looking for quality in the food they eat, as he increasingly believes that health is linked to what is consumed. Thus, the present article presents three raw materials that present functional compounds in their composition and brings some of its benefits to human health.

Considering the evident search for foods of fast and easy preparation, the industrial and scientific communities have been investing in the development of new products that, besides attending to this demand, can offer benefits to the health of the consumer. Among the foods that do not require a lot of time to prepare at home, the hamburger deserves prominence, due to its high consumption. However, because it contains saturated fat and because it is subjected to the frying process, too much consumption of this product can be harmful to human health and can cause chronic diseases, among them, obesity and hypertension. Studies have demonstrated the possibility of substitution of ingredients in the formulation of hamburgers, with the intention of incorporating substances with functional properties; therefore, substances that may contribute to the health and well-being of consumers. In this context, this review addresses issues related to meat, in the sense of conceptualizing the product and, in the light of the literature, offers possible alternatives and that have been studied to make this food healthier.
