The objective of this work was to identify the existence of biases on the reporting of Homeopathy efficacy in Brazilian newspapers. To this end, the online archives of two large newspapers - one in Rio de Janeiro city and one in São Paulo city - were searched for all news or reports concerning Homeopathy in the period January 2009-December 2010. The identified items were then classified as “favorable”, “unfavorable” or “neutral” in what concerns the efficacy of Homeopathic therapy. Paid advertisements and “passing” references were excluded. Thirty-one items were identified, and the results indicated an overall preponderance of “favorable”, as compared to “unfavorable“, reports (14 favorable, 7 unfavorable). In conclusion, newspaper reporting of homeopathic efficacy is not compatible with the most update scientific evidence on the topic.

This work describes some techniques for estimating the attenuation coefficient of longitudinal wave in a phantom made with RTV615 (GE) and silicone. The AWAY method presented results with lower standard deviation when RMS or FFT was applied to analyze the ultrasonic signal. Furthermore, it was observed that the use of APPARENT AWAY method with the FFT has sensitivity to number of cycles of the burst used, because the increased number of cycles considerably reduced the standard deviation of the results. However, if the number of cycles is greater than 10, the application of FFT and RMS methods gave similar results and should provide the same standard deviation. © 2011 IEEE.

The present work aims at studying the effect of cortical bone mineralization on ultrasound axial transmission (UAT) measurements, using experiments and numerical simulations. To this end, a reverse fracture healing approach is proposed, using an in vitro bovine femur sample. A demineralization protocol was applied, and the time-of-flight of the wave propagating in axial transmission measured. Numerical simulations of the experimental situation were also implemented. Mineralization degree may influence ultrasound measurements, and it may be a promising tool for fracture healing assessment. © 2011 IEEE.

The present work aims at studying the effect of heating patterns generated by therapeutic ultrasound (US) insonation on tissue mimicking device called Phantom. With this purpose, it was constructed a cylindrical calorimeter (80 mm height and 42 mm diameter) which was filled with muscle mimic phantom, for acquisition of temperature an array of thermocouples was placed at 2 and 6 cm depth. Ultrasound physiotherapy equipment was used at two therapeutic frequency (1 and 3 MHz), three intensities, and continuous irradiation mode and applied for 300s static mode. The experimental temperatures elevation profiles in Phantom were compared to a 2D bio-heat equation model, permitting a critical evaluation of such experimental data. The acoustic heating model was based on the US absorption equation, assuming linear propagation and neglecting stationary wave and multiplies reverberation effects. The comparison between experimental and mathematical simulation for the central thermocouple showed that, for far field the correlation between the experimental and simulated values are higher than for the near field.

This work aims at identifying and evaluating the associations between the pharmaceutical assistance activities in hospital pharmacies services (HPS). The Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) was applied to a sample of 238 hospitals and 30 variables from the survey Diagnosis of Hospital Pharmacy in Brazil. The first dimension of the MCA explained 90.6% of the data variability and allowed discriminate the HPS according to the presence or not of activities. It is noticeable an association between the presence of activities and better categories with large hospitals.

The aim of this work was to separate ECG artifacts from surface electromyogram (EMG) signals collected from erector spinae muscles with the blind source separation technique based on independent component analysis (ICA) and to investigate the separation at different interference levels. Using three EMG signals collected above erector spinal muscles from 5 subjects, the proposed method succeeds in separating the sources in both real and simulated signals. However, the ICA is not able to separate the signals when the signal-to-interference ratio is greater than 20 dB. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

The present article proposes a methodology for simulating breast ultrasound (BUS) images for assessing segmentation algorithms. The main characteristics of the simulated BUS images are: (i) building an echogenicity map containing common tissues found in real breasts as well as their geometries and (ii) simulating the physical process of image acquisition. The validation procedure is based on measuring the correlation between the theoretical Rayleigh probability density function (PDF) with the one obtained from simulated speckle textures. The results pointed out that the PDF derived from simulated images are strongly correlated with the theoretical PDF with a coefficient of correlation of 0.999.

Authors have emphasized the need for previous care in order to perform reliable bioimpedance acquisition. Despite of this need some authors have reported that intense physical training has little effect on Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA), while other ones have observed significant effects on bioimpedance parameters in the same condition, leading to body composition estimates considered incompatible with human physiology. The aim of this work was to quantify the changes in bioimpedance parameters, as well as in body fluids estimates by BIA, after four hours of intense physical activity with free water replacement in young males. Xitron Hydra 4200 equipment was used to acquire bioimpedance data before and immediately after the physical training. After data acquisition body fluids were estimates from bioimpedance parameters. Height and weight of all subjects were also acquired to the nearest 0.1 cm and 0.1 kg, respectively. Results point that among the bioimpedance parameter, extracellular resistance presented the most coherent behavior, leading to reliable estimates of the extracellular fluid and part of the total body water. Results also show decreases in height and weight of the participants, which were associated to the decrease in body hydration and in intervertebral discs.

Periodicity of structures can be investigated with backscattered ultrasound, usually by applying spectral methods and estimating the Mean Scatterer Spacing (MSS). Biological tissues, such as skeletal muscle, or liver or trabecular bone, can present periodic or quasi-periodic structures. In this work it is studied the behavior of MSS with temperature and frequency for in vitro samples of bovine muscular tissues. MSS was obtained in the range of 37°C to 43°C, and between 1 MHz to 10.0 MHz Results show that, for the studied sample, MSS decreased with temperature for the muscle. It seems to be in agreement with the expected physiologic behavior of muscular fibers. Further complementary experiments are being envisaged.
