Este artigo descreve um projeto que visou a implementação de um dashboard operacional para melhorar a gestão de uma empresa familiar de táxis. No dia-a-dia da empresa faltava uma ferramenta operacional que permitisse ter uma visão clara e integradora da atividade do táxi e que pudesse ser o driver para uma tomada rápida de decisões, com o objetivo de melhorar a eficiência e a eficácia da empresa, traduzidas em ...
The risk.benefit of contraception with ESSURE* is being readressed due to na increase of reports of adverse effects with with this device. Our aim was to proceed to na interna quality evaluation and to identify opportunities for protocol improvement .We proceeded to a one-center, retrospective consecutive case series of women admitted for Essure* placement from 1 January 2012 until 31 December 2016(5 years).Res...
Recently, tissue engineering strategies have been increased in order to mimic as closely as possible the environment of the native tissue, improving the regeneration of its structure and function. Previous experiments of cartilage tissue engineering used scaffolds with a homogeneous structure. However, the zonal organization in constructs has been shown to develop functional tissues with better biomechanical an...
As fracturas coronais do úmero distal podem envolver o capitellum, tróclea umeral ou ambos. São fracturas raras na idade adulta e ainda mais raras em idade pediátrica. Apresentamos um caso de uma adolescente de 13 anos que se apresenta com uma fractura coronal do capitellum e tróclea umeral. Foi classificada como tipo IV de McKee. Realizou-se uma redução aberta e osteossíntese com 2 parafusos interfragmentários...
Análise dos casos de volvo intestinal ocorridos no período neonatal nos últimos 8 anos (2002 a 2010). Material e métodos: Foram estudados os recém-nascidos admitidos na UCIN cujo diagnóstico de saída foi volvo intestinal. Foram estudados os seguintes parâmetros: idade gestacional e pós-natal, apresentação clínica e imagiológica, intervenção cirúrgica e resultados. Resultados: Foram identificados 15 doentes 7 do...
INTRODUCTION: Atrial septal defects (ASD) are among the most common congenital anomalies and account for 10% of congenital heart disease in the pediatric age-group and 30% in adults. Closure is indicated when there is evidence of hemodynamic significance or after a paradoxical embolic event. Ten years ago, percutaneous closure became the treatment of choice in our center for all patients with a clear indication...
Since the mitochondrial theory of ageing was proposed, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diversity has been largely studied in old people, however complete genomes are still rare, being limited to Japanese and UK/US samples. In this work, we evaluated possible longevity associated polymorphisms/haplogroups in an African population, from Tunisia, by performing complete mtDNA sequencing. This population has a mixed Euras...
The analysis of considerable numbers of DNA sequences is largely dependent on the development of simple software tools for automatically process the genetic data deposited on public databases. However, there are some difficulties in the automation process due to diverse synonyms being used as qualifiers for genes and some inconsistencies in gene locations between related Primate species, this fact happening eve...
We analyzed the current status (as of the end of August 2008) of human mitochondrial genomes deposited in GenBank, amounting to 5140 complete or coding-region sequences, in order to present an overall picture of the diversity present in the mitochondrial DNA of the global human population. To perform this task, we developed mtDNA-GeneSyn, a computer tool that identifies and exhaustedly classifies the diversity ...
With the objective of determining the pattern and decision making process in using antipsychotic drugs in patients admitted to hospital for acute psychotic disorder we have made a retrospective analysis in 244 in-patients in 7 hospitals for mental disorders. We have selected two groups, IM and PO, that in the first three days of internment have received either intravenous antipsychotic medication or oral medica...
