Introdução: O Programa Global de Avaliação de Risco Informatizado - PAISM, através de um questionário com 91 perguntas, permite prever o risco de 9 grupos importantes de doenças, que afetam as mulheres. O Programa examinou 15.538 mulheres determinando o risco para: câncer de mama, endométrio, colo de útero, ovário e pulmão; osteoporose; endometriose; DST/AIDS e dislipidemias e foram classificadas em baixo, médio e alto risco para estas doenças. Baseado no risco de avaliação, o programa ofereceu para as mulheres conselho individualizado com relação a hábitos e comportamentos. Objetivos: Avaliar os fatores sócio-demográficos, de acordo com diferentes grupos de risco para cada doença; o estilo e hábitos de vida para os riscos de determinadas doenças e o conhecimento da importância da educação para a saúde, o desempenho e a aceitação do programa. Pacientes e Métodos: Foram estudadas retrospectivamente 320 mulheres selecionadas, sem critérios previamente estabelecidos apenas com a condição de ter participado do Programa Global de Avaliação de Risco Informatizado e não ter câncer. A coleta de dados foi realizada a partir de um outro questionário, constituído de 30 questões que foi aplicado no Ambulatório de Ginecologia do Hospital das Clínicas da FMUSP e em ações existentes nas comunidades carentes da região da Cidade de São Paulo. Esta pesquisa foi delineada inicialmente com base em um modelo conceitual-operativo de natureza quantitativa e, posteriormente, qualitativa. Resultados e conclusões: Existem fatores sócio-demográficos e as variáveis atitudinais, que demonstram o estilo de vida da paciente, também, traçam os grupos de alto risco e colaboram para a observação de determinadas doenças. O nível de conscientização das entrevistadas em relação a algumas variáveis de risco é alto, no entanto, essa conscientização nem sempre se reflete em atitudes e esses fatores acabam influenciando o alto risco nas doenças pesquisadas. As entrevistadas afirmam: o programa é bom, o questionário de avaliação é fácil, a interpretação do risco e as orientações de qualidade de vida são muito boas, demonstrando a importância da educação para a saúde. / Introduction: The Global Program of Evaluation of Informed Risks - GPEIR, through one questionnaire with 91 questions, allows foresee the risk of 9 important groups of disease, which affects women.

A aplicação de toxina botulínica A no lado não paralisado (LNP) é feita para tratar a assimetria resultante da paralisia facial (PF). As unidades de toxina onabotulinica A (Ona) e toxina abobotulinica A (Abo) não são equivalentes. Comparou-se a taxa de conversão de 1:3 em pacientes com PF. Cinquenta e cinco pacientes (idade entre 16 e 67 anos, 43 mulheres), com PF de longa duração foram tratados de forma aleatória com a aplicação de Ona (n = 25) ou Abo (n = 30) no LNP. Efeitos adversos, simetria facial, satisfação subjetiva e Índice de Incapacidade Facial (IIF) foram avaliados após 1 e 6 meses. Os resultados mostraram que a incidência de efeitos adversos foi maior com Abo (93,3% vs. 64,0%, p = 0,007). Avaliação Clínica do LNP diminuiu após 1 mês e aumentou novamente aos 6 meses, sem diferenças entre os grupos. A nota do lado paralisado (LP) foi menor no grupo Ona antes do tratamento, mas semelhante em ambos os grupos depois do tratamento. A nota do LP aumentou depois de 1 mês, e aos 6 meses foi ainda maior que a nota de prétratamento em ambos os grupos. A avaliação subjetiva melhorou em todos os momentos em comparação com a nota do pré-tratamento e diferiu entre os dois grupos apenas em 1 mês, quando o grupo Abo ficou um pouco mais paralisado. Índice de Função Física (IFF) e Índice de Bem-Estar Social (IBES), subescalas do Índice de Incapacidade Facial (IFF), entre os dois grupos não foram diferentes. Concluímos que ambas as toxinas reduziram a assimetria de forma eficiente em pacientes com FP. Os efeitos adversos foram maiores com Abo na equivalência de 1:3 / Botulinum toxin A injection into the nonparalyzed side (NPS) is used to treat asymmetry resulting from facial palsy (FP). OnabotulinumtoxinA (ONA) and abobotulinumtoxinA (ABO) units are not equivalent. We compared the conversion ratio of 1:3 in patients with FP. Fifty-five patients (aged 16-67 years, 43 women) with long-standing FP were randomly treated with either ONA (n = 25) or ABO (n = 30) injections into the NPS. Adverse effects, facial symmetry, subjective satisfaction, and Facial Disability Index (FDI) were assessed after 1 and 6 months. The results showed that the incidence of adverse effects was higher with ABO (93.3% vs. 64.0%, p = 0.007). Clinical scores of the NPS decreased after 1 month and increased again at 6 months, with no betweengroup differences. Scores of the paralyzed side were lower in the ONA group before treatment, but similar in both groups thereafter. The paralyzed side scores increased after 1 month, and at 6 months were still higher than the pretreatment scores in both groups. Subjective assessment improved at all time points compared to pretreatment score and differed between the two groups only at 1 month, when the ABO group was a bit too paralyzed. The Physical Function and Social/Well-Being Function subscales of the FDI did not differ between the two groups. We conclude that both toxins efficiently reduced asymmetry in patients with FP. Adverse effects were higher with ABO at an equivalence ratio of 1:3

The thrust of this thesis is to study oral solid dosage formulation using hot melt coating method and to use pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation (PK M&S) as a tool that can help to predict pharmacokinetics of a drug in human and the probability of passing various bioequivalence criteria of the formulation based on the PK of the drug. Hot-melt coating using a new method, direct blending, was performed to create immediate and sustained release formulations (IR and SR). This new method was introduced to offer another choice to produce IR and SR drug delivery formulations using single and double coating layer of waxes onto sugar beads and/or drug loaded pellets. Twelve waxes were applied to coat sugar cores. The harder the wax the slower the drug was released from single coated beads. The wax coating can be deposited up to 28% of the weight of the core bead with 58% drug loading efficiency in the coating The cores were coated with single or double wax layers containing acetaminophen. Carnauba wax coated beads dissolved in approximately 6 hrs releasing 80% of loaded drug. However, when covered with another layer, the drug loaded beads released drug for over 20 hrs. When drug loaded pellets were used as cores, 33-58% drug loading was achieved. Double coated pellets exhibited a near zero order drug release for up to 16 hrs. Hot melt coating by direct blending using waxes is a simple process compared to conventional hot melt coating using coating pan or fluid bed coating machines. It offers an alternative way of making immediate, sustained drug release (IR, SR) and modified release (IR+SR) oral dosage forms of drugs which are stable at high temperature (100°C). The pellet-containing-drug coated formulations provide options when higher drug loading is warranted. It is required by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that a new modified –release (MR) product or identical generic product be regarded as bioequivalent (BE) to the originators reference drug product. However, there are concerns that current regulatory criteria are not sufficient when evaluating bioequivalence (BE) for many MR products, and additional metrics for BE assessment of the products should be applied to ensure therapeutic equivalence. This study used pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation (M&S) to investigate 1) the probability of BE occurring between the MR test and reference products 2) the rates of false positive and true negative of the BE test; and 3) the estimation of the sample size in pivotal BE studies; all of which when partial area under the curves (pAUCs) were applied as additional BE criteria. Reference data of two MR forms of methylphenydate HCl (MPH) were simulated and obtained from literature (formulation Q and Metadate CD, respectively). Monte Carlo simulations were performed to simulate the test drug concentration profiles and BE assessment was carried out utilizing the mean (method 1) and individual concentration time curves (method 2). For formulation Q, adding pAUC₀₋[subscript Tmax] to current BE criteria reduced the possibility of passing BE from approximately 98% to 85%, with a true negative rate of 5%. The earlier the time points used to determine for pAUC before Tmax, the lower the chance of passing BE for the test product. The possibility of passing BE varied and depended on the coefficient of variations (CV) of T[subscript lag], K[subscript a] and K[subscript e] and that considerable variability in the parameters affected the earlier segments of the drug concentration profile curves more. Similar drug concentration time profiles between the test and reference products is recommended to ensure bioequivalence occurs with a reasonable subject sample size. A similar scenario was seen when Metadate CD was used as the reference product. PK M&S can help provide appropriate additional metrics to assure the BE test is a better tool ensuring therapeutic equivalence for MR products with little negative impact to generic manufacturers. Predictions can also be made about the required sample size and the chances of passing BE with any addition to the conventional three criteria for the test product. PK M&S was also used to predict drug concentrations of levofloxacin in tissue. Levofloxacin has been widely used in clinical practice as an effective broad-spectrum antimicrobial, however tendonitis and tendon rupture have been reported with increasing use of this agent. Here, these incidents will be assessed by investigating pharmacokinetic behavior of the compound to see if they are related to drug's tissue disposition. The PK model for levofloxacin was established. Mean concentration time profiles of single or multiple dosing of 500 mg levofloxacin following oral and IV infusion administration were simulated. Monte Carlo simulation was used to simulate the drug concentration time profiles in plasma (compartment 1) and tissue (compartment 2) after seven dosing regimens while varying the drug's elimination and distribution rates to see the effect of changing those rates have on the drug accumulation in tissue. Monte Carlo Simulation shows that low elimination rates affect the drug concentration in plasma and tissue significantly with the level in plasma rising up to 35 μg/mL at day 7. A normal elimination rate together with escalation of distribution rates from plasma to tissue could increase the tissue concentration after 7 doses to 9.5 µg/mL, a value that is more than twice that of normal. PK M&S can be used as an effective tool to evaluate drug concentration in different compartments (plasma and tissues, for example). The unexpectedly high concentration values in some cases may explain, at least in part, the reason of tendinopathy occurs in the clinical setting. / Graduation date: 2012 / Access restricted to the OSU Community at author's request from June 7, 2012 - June 7, 2014

This study was purposed to extract, collate, and statistically format data contained in the national Beginning Postsecondary Students (BPS) Longitudinal Study: 1996-2001 database that pertained to persistence and attainment rates of GED recipients who began their postsecondary education at a community college during the 1995-96 academic year. The primary objective was to reckon the attrition rate of GED recipients during their first year of enrollment (FY 1995-96), and to measure degree or certificate attainment rates of that particular cohort of GED enrollees at the end of a 6-year study period (FY 2000-01). Several significant findings related to the academic prowess and characteristics of a cohort of GED students who enrolled in public 2-year educational institutions during the BPS:1995-96 study period are presented in this study. One of those findings is that the attrition rates of the GED recipients and the high school graduates who concurrently enrolled full-time at community colleges during the 1995-96 academic year were closely proximate by the end of their first year of enrollment (52.6% HS dropout rate versus 54.8% GED dropout rate). Another interesting finding is that accumulated GPAs of GED recipients who participated in the BPS:1996/2001 and who persisted through their first academic year as full-time enrollees in community colleges were slightly higher than their counterpart BPS:1996/2001 cohort of high school graduates who concurrently enrolled at community colleges. The statistical data reported in this study were garnered from a database administered by the US Department of Education; however, because this study presents its findings in the form of raw, unweighted data, it does not statistically reflect national representativeness. / Graduation date: 2004

Resumo: A consorciação de culturas, que consiste no cultivo de duas ou mais culturas em uma mesma área, pelo menos parte do ciclo, visa o melhor aproveitamento dos recursos disponíveis na propriedade e a minimização dos riscos de quebra de produtividade. O cultivo do milho em consórcio com o feijão-caupi, que é relativamente mais tolerante à seca, devido, principalmente, ao ciclo mais curto, pode ser uma opção interessante para o período de safrinha. Contudo, são escassos e inconsistentes os resultados de pesquisas sobre cultivo consorciado de cultivares de milho e feijão-caupi em faixas, especialmente nas regiões Centro- Oeste e Sudeste. Assim, objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar o monocultivo e o cultivo consorciado em faixas de diferentes cultivares de feijão-caupi com uma variedade e um híbrido simples de milho, em Dourados-MS e Botucatu-SP. O delineamento experimental foi o de blocos casualizados, com parcelas subdivididas e quatro repetições. Para a cultura do feijão-caupi, foram considerados três sistemas de cultivo/cultivares de milho (consórcio com a variedade de milho (BR 473), consórcio com o híbrido de milho (BRS 1030 ou BRS 1010) e cultivo solteiro) nas parcelas e três cultivares de feijão-caupi (BRS Guariba, BRS Novaera e BRS Xiquexique) nas subparcelas. Para a cultura do milho, foram utilizadas duas cultivares de milho (BR 473 e BRS 1030 ou BRS 1010) nas parcelas e quatro sistemas de cultivo/cultivares de feijão-caupi (consórcio com BRS Guariba, consórcio com BRS Novaera, consórcio com BRS Xiquexique e cultivo solteiro) nas subparcelas. O sistema de consórcio (cultivo em faixas) foi constituído pela intercalação de faixas constituídas de quatro fileiras de feijão-caupi com faixas de quatro fileiras de milho. Ambas as culturas foram semeadas no espaçamento de 0,50 m entre fileiras. No cultivo consorciado, cada unidade experimental foi constituída...

Maize growth intercropped with cowpea, which is relatively more tolerant to drought, mainly due to the shorter cycle, can be an interesting option as off-season crop. However, there are few and inconsistent research results on intercropping maize with cowpea, especially in the Midwest and Southeast of Brazil. Therefore, the objective of this work was to evaluate the cowpea as monoculture, and intercropping different cultivars of cowpea with a variety and a single cross hybrid of maize, in Dourados-MS and Botucatu-SP. The experiment was a randomized complete block design with split-plots arrangement and four replications. For the cowpea crop, were considered three cropping systems/cultivars of maize (intercropped with maize variety (BR 473), intercropped with maize hybrid (BRS 1030 or 1010) and cowpea sole crop) in the plots, and three cowpea cultivars (BRS Guariba, BRS Novaera and BRS Xiquexique) in the subplots. For the maize crop, were considered two maize cultivars (BRS 473 and BRS 1030 or BRS 1010) in the plots, and four cropping systems/cultivars of cowpea (intercropped with BRS Guariba, intercropped with BRS Novaera, intercropped with BRS Xiquexique and maize sole crop) in the subplots. Intercropping system was designed by intercalating strips constituted by four rows of cowpea with strips with four rows of maize. Both crops were sown at 0.50 m row spacing. In the intercropping system, each experimental unit consisted of eight rows with 6 m in length, in other words, four rows of maize and four rows of cowpea. In the sole crop, each experimental...

Instituto Nacional de Controle de Qualidade em Saúde / Para que um medicamento possa ser registrado como genérico ou para obter seu registro como similar no Brasil é necessária a execução de uma série de testes bioanalíticos regulamentados por legislações e resoluções do Ministério da Saúde. Estes ensaios são chamados de estudos de bioequivalência/biodisponilidade relativa (BD/BE) e só podem ser realizados por centros de pesquisa devidamente habilitados pela Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária - Ministério da Saúde (ANVISA/MS). Os estudos de BD/BE são realizados em seres humanos e devem assegurar a identidade dos produtos em relação à velocidade da absorção e quantidade do fármaco absorvido. De relevância considerável para a saúde pública e de interesses sócio-econômicos, torna-se importante criar mecanismos e ferramentas que possam dar garantias de que os medicamentos a serem lançados no mercado apresentem as mesmas características e propriedades físico-químicas que o medicamento reconhecido como de referência. Sendo assim, faz-se necessário o desenvolvimento de metodologias seguras e dinâmicas de avaliação da garantia da qualidade e dos processos referentes aos estudos realizados. Neste contexto, este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar uma nova abordagem da garantia da qualidade, referente à etapa bioanalítica de estudos de BD/BE, com enfoque na Qualidade Total, utilizando o estudo de Levodopa + benserazida como piloto. A proposta é de uma avaliação da qualidade que não se limita às avaliações descritas nas normas e legislações específicas, mas avaliar a qualidade do todo. Nosso trabalho demonstrou um modelo de Sistema de Gestão, que proporcionou o aumento da qualidade dos estudos realizados, diminuindo a visão dicotomista entre Qualidade e Laboratório e, consequentemente, a comercialização dos medicamentos genéricos com qualidade assegurada, após avaliação pelo estudo de BD/BE. / For a drug to be registered as generic or to obtain its registration as similar medication in Brazil, a series of bioanalytical tests regulated by laws and resolutions of the Ministry of Health are required. These tests are called bioequivalence studies / relative bioavailability (BE/BA) and can only be carried out by research centers accredited by the National Health Surveillance Agency - Ministry of Health (ANVISA / MS). Studies BE/BA are performed in humans and should ensure the identity of the products relative to the rate of absorption and amount of drug absorbed. Of considerable relevance to public health and socio-economic interests, it is important to create mechanisms and tools that can provide assurance that the drugs to be launched in the market have the same characteristics and physicochemical properties of the drug known as a reference. Therefore, it is necessary to develop secure, dynamic assessment methodologies and quality assurance processes related to the studies performed. In this context, the present work aims to present a new approach to quality assurance regarding the bioanalytical phase of studies BE/BA, with a focus on Total Quality Control, using the study of levodopa + benserazide as a pilot study. The proposal is of a quality assessment that is not limited to the assessments described in the specific rules and laws, but to evaluate the quality of the whole. Our study demonstrated a model management system, which provided the increase in the quality of studies, reducing the dichotomous view between Quality and Laboratory and hence the marketing of generic drugs with assured quality, after evaluation by the study BE/BA.

The presented diploma thesis deals with titles of films and TV serials made in anglophone countries or in their co-production, in which their titles were either translated from English to Czech, or possibly the original titles were presented to Czech viewers in original form. The thesis analyzes and classifies the structure of the original and translated titles, characterizes the linguistic means used in them and compares the two titles on the basis of the acquired knowledge. For the purpose of analyzing and comparing the titles, a corpus of titles obtained by an excerpt from the Czech-Slovak Film Database (ČSFD.cz), was created. Titles from the years 1990 to 2015 were placed into the corpus, and each year contains the same number of titles. In total, 625 titles of foreign films and TV serials which form the main corpus, and 200 titles of domestic films and TV serials which form the control corpus, were gathered. A short questionnaire illustrating title influence on viewers when choosing a film, is also part of this diploma thesis. Key words title, film, film title, film name, functions of title, translation, translation strategies, equivalency, recipient
