Objetivo: Avaliar se a associação da deficiência de vitamina D com o excesso de gordura visceral potencializa o risco de calcificação coronariana em pacientes assintomáticos.Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, envolvendo pacientes atendidos ambulatorialmente em hospital referência em cardiologia. A calcificação foi avaliada pela tomografia computadorizada(TC) e o escore total da calcificação coronária(ECC) correspondeu à soma do escore de todas as artérias coronárias, sendo considerado como ausente ECC=0 e presente ECC>0.

This work presents a new approach for the treatment of surplus reactive energy in industrial plants that has capacitor banks in the substation in obsolescence and limited to high numbers of maneuvers. The purpose of this thesis is to perform studies for the purpose of optimizing a discrete distributed system, from data sampled in the industrial sector, which contains problems in the substation power factor control system and consequently reactive energy surplus.

Objetivo: Analisar a injuria renal (IRA) aguda nos pacientes com COVID-19, assim como os fatores que propiciam seu desenvolvimento, além de descrever os mecanismos da infecção renal por SARS-COV-2 e checar a utilização da terapia renal substitutiva (TRS). Método: Revisão sistemática baseada no PRISMA-p. A busca foi realizada em base de dados indexadas a partir de estratégias especificas para cada base, descritores utilizados: Acute Kidney Injury; Renal Replacement Terapy; COVID-19, com artigos publicados entre 2020 e Agosto de 2021.

This study aims to analyze the effect of psychodrama therapy on social anxiety among university students. The methodology adopted in this quasi-experimental pre and post-test research, the specialized random sample collection method has been used and the subjects of the study were university students. A total of 30 students were selected and divided into two groups experimental and control. The experimental group received twelve 90mins of psychodrama sessions. The control group didn't receive any treatment. Finally, a post-exam was conducted for both groups.

The study of analysis and description of human gait encompasses clinical and biomechanical data regarding the locomotor system, motor control and movement mechanisms. Gait initiation surveys provide information on gait recognition, diagnosis, follow-up and, when necessary, establishment of appropriate physical therapy and/or surgical treatment. The present study aims to identify the biomechanical methods and their respective techniques used to assess and understand the mechanisms of gait initiation in children.

Architectural students devote five years in academics to acquirethe pieces of knowledge necessary for B.Arch degree in India. The brainstorming studio-works and variety of theories as per the syllabus are purposive inpreparing students for their professional endeavors. This explicable academic stratagem seems to be lacking in prepending digital chapter as an appendant to design studio effectually.

Regulation of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of the Republic of Indonesia number 71/PERMEN. KP/2016 on Fishing Lines and Placement of Fishing Equipment in the Fisheries Management Area of the Republic of Indonesia in article 22 paragraph (1), the placement of fishing gear and fishing aids in WPP RI is adjusted to the nature of fishing equipment.

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a record of electrical phenomena that originate during cardiac activity to the cycles of polarization and depolarization of cardiac cells pass around the heart itself and a small part of these waves of electrical tension can travel up to the body surface by capturing the signal from the electrodes on top of the skin. However, the high cost and the inaccessibility of the ECG limit the use in scientific research or hospital center in a region with little investment in medical and hospital equipment.

This study aimed to evaluate the microstrains around implants, generated by static non-axial loads, in miniconical and CMN abutments for 3-unit fixed partial dentures. Blocks in polyurethane were made for each evaluated group (n=10). Each block received three implants in the “off set” configuration, their respective abutment (CMN or miniconical) and 3-unit fixed partial dentures. Four strain gauges (SG) were glued on the surface of each block, tangent to each implant, to carry out the strain gauges tests.

Antimicrobial agent is any substances with ability to inhibit or decline the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria. Antimicrobial agents commonly found in the market are chemicals in the form of antibiotics, hence alternative of natural substances that is environmentally-friendly is necessary to reduce the long-term impact of antibiotics. One of natural substances with antimicrobial potency is Andaliman, a type of spice plant widely grows in North Sumatra. Study on in vitro test of Andaliman as antimicrobial agent is therefore required.
