1. Pessoas residuais e os resíduos das pessoas: uma análise do desenvolvimento mercadológico do Distrito Federal - DF
Esta dissertação analisa o desenvolvimento mercadológico dos resíduos sólidos urbanos do Distrito Federal (DF). A integração dos atores sociais envolvidos, o apoio à formação de cooperativas e associações de catadores de lixo, denominados de pessoas residuais, e o incentivo à implementação de sistemas com coleta seletiva dos resíduos sólidos

2. Clinical and functional assessment of swallowing of older patients with or without complaints of dysphagia admitted to a care geriatric ward / "Avaliação estrutural e funcional da deglutição de idosos, com e sem queixas de disfagia, internados em uma enfermaria geriátrica"
Physiological mechanisms change during the aging process. Among the changes that occur naturally during this process, there are the problems of swallowing. Swallowing integrity not only warrants the maintenance of the patients nutritional status, but also protects the respiratory system against accidents like the aspiration of oropharyngeal contents. On th

3. Low vision rehabilitation. Finding capable people behind damaged eyeballs.
Loss of vision is a common physical impairment in America today. Comprehensive low vision rehabilitation programs can have dramatic results in increasing the independence and productivity of affected persons. Rehabilitation efforts must be tailored to the type of vision loss and to specific functional implications. Every effort should be made to enhance the

4. Lung function and bronchial reactivity in farmers.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and type of lung function disorders in Danish farmers. Three samples of farmers were drawn from a group of unselected farmers who had participated in an epidemiological study. Group I (47 persons) was a sample of the 8% of all farmers who had reported that they had asthma; group II (63 persons) was a s

5. Productive Infection Maintains a Dynamic Steady State of Residual Viremia in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1-Infected Persons Treated with Suppressive Antiretroviral Therapy for Five Years
To provide insight into the dynamics and source of residual viremia in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients successfully treated with antiretroviral therapy, 14 intensely monitored patients treated with indinavir and efavirenz sustaining HIV RNA at <50 copies/ml for >5 years were studied. Abacavir was added to the regimen of eight patients at year 5.

6. Cognitive impairments in abstinent alcoholics.
Impaired cognitive functioning in alcoholics is widespread during the first months of detoxification. Between half and two thirds of abstinent alcoholics exhibit cognitive impairments during this period, with residual deficits persisting for years after detoxification in some patients. The most severe deficits have been observed in visuospatial abilities, pe

7. Walking after spinal cord injury. Goal or wish?
Less than a third of patients walk again after a spinal cord injury, whereas every one of them wants to try. Residual function, energy expenditure, the extent of orthotic support needed, and patient motivation will determine the outcome. Functional electrical stimulation and other new orthotic designs have not notably increased the number of persons able to

8. Red cell life span after splenectomy in hereditary spherocytosis
Despite the persistence of spherocytosis after splenectomy in hereditary spherocytosis, it has usually been assumed that red cell life span returns completely to normal after this treatment. Diisopropyl fluorophosphate. DF32P, a noneluting red cell label, was given intravenously to 11 patients in five unrelated families 2-27 yr after splenectomy for typical

9. Season, equipment, and job function related to gastrointestinal problems in waste collectors.
OBJECTIVES: Informal reports have suggested that work as a waste collector entails exposures that cause gastrointestinal symptoms--such as nausea and diarrhoea. This study explores this hypothesis by correlating data on the type of waste collected, the persons' job function, the equipment used, and the times of the week and the year of reported nausea and di

10. Humid air increases airway resistance in asthmatic subjects.
Eight persons with asthma were exposed to seven air conditions varying in temperature (37 degrees C to 49 degrees C [98.6 degrees F to 120.2 degrees F]) and water content (44 mg H2O per liter to 79 mg H2Oper liter) . Normocapnic hyperventilation for three minutes at 40% maximal voluntary ventilation was carried out for each condition. A constant-volume body

11. Role of Epinephrine-mediated β-Adrenergic Mechanisms in Hypoglycemic Glucose Counterregulation and Posthypoglycemic Hyperglycemia in Insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus
Initially euglycemic (overnight insulin-infused) patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), compared with nondiabetic controls, exhibit similar, but somewhat delayed plasma glucose nadirs, delayed glucose recovery from hypoglycemia, and posthypoglycemic hyperglycemia after the rapid intravenous injection of 0.075 U/kg of regular insulin. These

12. Exercise-induced diaphragmatic fatigue in healthy humans.
1. Twelve healthy subjects (33 +/- 3 years) with a variety of fitness levels (maximal oxygen uptake (VO2, max) = 61 +/- 4 ml kg-1 min-1, range 40-80), exercised at 95 and 85% VO2, max to exhaustion (mean time = 14 +/- 3 and 31 +/- 8 min, expired ventilation (VE) over final minute of exercise = 149 +/- 9 and 126 +/- 10 l min-1). 2. Bilateral transcutaneous su
