market demand at competitive cost and enable greater
geographical spread as possible.
This work, was introduced, in a pioneer manner, perform
experiments using computer simulations in a collaborative
environment, changing the learning dynamics and creating a
new interactive perspective between teacher and students in an
effective environment for electronic e-learning. It was observed
with this research a feasible way to teach remotely electronic
with practical activities interactive and collaborative.

Abstract: Physicians have become dependent on medical
equipment for safer and more efficient treatment of patients.
Therefore, medical technology management has become more
important. This work aimed at developing a methodology for
classification of medical equipment based on the requirement of
corrective maintenance, namely, frequency of failures, as well
as time and cost of this kind of service. Equipment classes were
established using the Always Better Control analysis (ABC).
The paraconsistent annotated logic (PAL) was used to identify
inconsistencies and indeterminacies that might arise from the
equipment classification, pointing out to the clinical
engineering team specific equipments that required a more
detailed, post-hoc, case analysis. As almost 90% of the
classifications did not present inconsistencies and/or
indeterminacies, it is possible to conclude that the classification
was coherent and may be used as a tool for helping clinical
engineers on their daily management work, new equipment
acquisition and replacement planning, data mining for
equipment manufacturers and by regulatory agencies

Abstract: Stroke often results with decreased ability to control
shoulder and elbow movements, as well as compromised
grasping. In the last decade, researchers have investigated the
effect of simultaneously applied intensive neuromuscular
electrical stimulation and functional exercises, aiming
rehabilitation of hand movements. Once proved to be effective,
Intensive Functional Electrical Therapy (IFET) tends to be
widely used in rehabilitation centers due to decreased treatment
time needed for each patient. The present study aimed to
compare the effect of functional therapy with functional therapy
plus IFET, in short, medium, and in a long term. Ten
volunteers, with mean (±SD) age and EVA time 63.1 (±11) and
7.9 (±6.8) weeks and months, respectively, were randomly
selected and divided in two groups. . Eight volunteers
concluded the study. Volunteers underwent to 5 weeks of
treatment, composed of 30 minutes of conventional therapy in
addition to 30 minutes of IFET. For the experimental group, a
four channel electrical stimulator Actigrip® CS system was
used. In the first two weeks of treatment using electrical
stimulation, only upper limb proximal muscles were stimulated
(m. deltoid – anterior and lateral fibers), with surface
electrodes, using a 200 ìs, 50 Hz, compensated monophasic
pulse, 20-45 mA of intensity. Motor function was evaluated
using the Upper Extremity Functioning Test -UEFT), Drawing
Test- DT, and neurological evaluation. Analysis of variance
(ANOVA) showed significant difference (F(4, 20)=8, 4; p&lt0,
01) for the parameter number of functional task repetitions. The
Tukey Honest Significant Difference test showed that both,
TEFI and control groups significantly increased the number of
motor task repetitions they could perform in two
minutes(p&lt0, 03). This was significant when pre-treatment
was compared with post-treatment (2 and 5 weeks of treatment,
and 12 and 24 weeks of follow-up). The number of times the
volunteers performed the motor task increased from 8 to
approximately 11. In conclusion, functional training of upper
limb, impaired due to stroke, whether added or not to intensive
electrical stimulation improved motor function. This result was
obtained after two weeks of treatment and last for a period of
24 weeks.

Abstract: This study presents the construction and evaluation
of a hypermedia system to facilitate technical teaching of
medical-hospital equipment, in a technician preparation course
supported by an industrial institution, aiming to contribute for
the teach-learning process. In this first version, the hypermedia
system is focused in one equipment (cardiac defibrillator). It
was evaluated by a selected group of students, having passed a
pre-test to determine their previous knowledge on the matter,
then using the system proposed, and a post-test to evaluate the
gain. The results showed the learning level was significantly
greater among students that used the hipermedia system,
confirming its value for the teaching-learning process.
