Visual Disorders

Deficiente visual é o nome dado à pessoa que possui cegueira ou baixa visão. Essa deficiência pode trazer consigo limitações que provocam dependência para locomover-se, executar tarefas e alimentar-se, levando assim a uma maior exposição aos alimentos processados e ultraprocessados, mais práticos e ricamente calóricos, podendo caracterizar o comportamento alimentar desses indivíduos, uma vez que comportamento alimentar é um conjunto de ações que se associam desde o momento em que se escolhe o alimento até oconsumo do mesmo, relacionando-se a tudo que está envolvido nesse processo. Com o objetivo de avaliar o comportamento alimentar de atletas amadores com deficiência visual de um clube esportivo em Belém/PA, utilizou-se questionário de avaliação socioeconômica, história clínica, comportamento alimentar do participante e foram feitas associações estatísticas por meio do Teste de Fisher. Participaram da pesquisa 11 atletas deficientes visuais, na faixa etária de 25 a 54 anos. A principal prática alimentar observada foi comer mais do que deveria além da insatisfação com o próprio corpo. Os maiores obstáculos encontrados para práticas alimentares saudáveis foram: publicidade, oferta, preço dos alimentos saudáveis, falta de companhia, dependência e falta de autonomia. Já os principais aspectos que facilitariam escolhas saudáveis são: se os alimentos saudáveis fossem mais práticos, atraentes e saborosos, estivessem mais disponíveis em casa e se os participantes não dependessem de ninguém. Sendo assim, os resultados deste estudo sugerem que a deficiência visual influencia o comportamento alimentar de deficientes visuais.

Thoracic Appendage

Feeding behavior of Daphnia magna on the food organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae, determined by electronic measurement of frequency of thoracic appendage movements (FTA), differs between groups cultured in lake, river, and dechlorinated tap water. FTA also varied between similar Daphnia cultured at different times in water collected from a common source. It is suggested that variability in water quality or physiological changes, possibly influenced by thermal history of the animal, alters feeding behavior. The concept of a "normal filtering rate" (McMahon and Rigler 1965) is reevaluated.

Tracy and Doremus have demonstrated chemical bonding between bone and hydroxylapatite with transmission electron microscopy. Now researchers ponder how to improve upon this bond in turn improving the life expectancy and biocompatibility of implantable orthopedic devices.This report focuses on a study of the- chemical influences on the interfacial integrity and strength. Pure hydroxylapatite (HAP), magnesium doped HAP, strontium doped HAP, bioglass and medical grade titanium cylinders were implanted into the tibial cortices of New Zealand white rabbits. After 12 weeks, the implants were retrieved for a scanning electron microscopy study coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy.Following sacrifice and careful retrieval, the samples were dehydrated through a graduated series starting with 50% ethanol and continuing through 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, and 100% ethanol over a period of two days. The samples were embedded in LR White. Again a graduated series was used with solutions of 50, 75 and 100% LR White diluted in ethanol.

Normal Adults

Electrodermal and electroencephalic responsivity to sound and to light was studied in 96 normal-hearing adults in three separate sessions. The subjects were subdivided into equal groups of white men, white women, colored men, and colored women. A 1 000 cps pure tone was the conditioned stimulus in two sessions and white light was used in a third session. Heat was the unconditioned stimulus in all sessions. Previously, an inverse relation had been found in white men between the prominence of alpha rhythm in the EEG and the ease with which electrodermal responses could be elicited. This relation did not hold true for white women. The main purpose of the present study was to answer the following questions: (1) are the previous findings on white subjects applicable to colored subjects? (2) are subjects who are most (or least) responsive electrophysiologically on one day equally responsive (or unresponsive) on another day? and (3) are subjects who are most (or least) responsive to sound equally responsive (or unresponsive) to light? In general, each question was answered affirmatively. Other factors influencing responsivity were also studied.

Placebo Model

Research in recent years, especially in the analgesic field, has intensively studied the placebo effect and its mechanisms. It has been shown that physical complaints can be efficiently reduced via learning and cognitive processes (conditioning and expectancies). However, despite evidence demonstrating a large variety of physiological similarities between pain and itch, the possible transfer of the analgesic placebo model to itch has not yet been widely discussed in research. This review therefore aims at highlighting potential transfers of placebo mechanisms to itch processes by demonstrating the therapeutic issues in pharmacological treatments for pruritus on a physiological basis and by discussing the impact of psychological mechanisms and psychological factors influencing itch sensations.
