Theme: The reading of fixed texts in school are widely known, however it is not known how they read texts furniture and what skills are required for this type of reading. Objective: To evaluate the skills of reading film subtitles in students of 2nd and 4th grade of elementary school of a Public School. Method: Review the level and skills of reading movies subtitles (RMS), through the recounting of a section of film watched, alone, mute and legend, for 60 students (30 2nd grade and 30 of the 4th grade) matched for age and gender.

PURPOSE: To affirm the effectiveness and complication rate of postoperative single-dose beta-irradiation (RT) with (90) Sr in the case of primary pterygium in a clinical trial. METHODS AND MATERIALS: This trial was designed as a prospective, randomized, single center study. Surgery was performed in all cases according to the conjunctival autograft technique. One thousand and four patients with 108 pterygia were postoperatively randomized to either beta-RT or observation. In the case of beta-RT, a (90) Sr eye applicator was used to deliver 1000 cGy to the sclera surface at a dose rate of between 200 and 250 cGy/min. After treatment, both an ophthalmologist and a radiation oncologist performed the follow-up examinations. The accumulated data were analyzed using a group sequential test. RESULTS: Between February 2007 and September 2008, 104 eyes with primary pterygium were operated on according to the trial protocol. Additional treatment was performed within 24 hours postoperatively. Four patients were lost to follow-up, resulting in 104 patients who could be analyzed. In the 54 eyes randomized to receive beta-RT, 5 relapses occurred compared with 8 recurrences in the 50 eyes that no received RT, for a crude control rate of 90.7 % vs. 84 %, respectively. At a mean follow-up of 9 months (range 4- 18), major treatment complications had not been observed . CONCLUSION: Single-dose beta-RT of 1000cGy after conjunctival autograft surgery is a simple, effective, and safe treatment that reduces the risk of primary pterygium recurrence.

Obese patients are known to have increased work of breathing inducing dyspnea, exercise intolerance and impaired quality of life. Respiratory muscle training is known to increase respiratory muscle capacity, reduce dyspnoea and improve exercise performance in healthy subjects and respiratory patients. The investigators hypothesized that Respiratory muscle training would reduce dyspnoea, increase exercise tolerance and quality of life in obese patients.
