Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy in women worldwide, with one million new cases confirmed each year. This study aimed at identifying the knowledge of patients? relatives concerning the risk factors (RF) for BC. It is a descriptive quantitative study carried out in the Chemotherapy Technical Division of a University Hospital in São Paulo state, Brazil, from September to October 2006. Only female (30) relatives were included due to the fact that BC is more frequent in females. The major RF cited were family history for BC 33.3% (10), smoking 16.6% (5), alcoholic-drink consumption 10% (3), animal-fat-rich diet 3.3% (1). Other factors such as not breastfeeding, environmental factors, use of oral contraceptives and hormone-replacement therapy were mentioned by 10% (3) of the relatives. It was concluded that the relatives of patients undergoing chemotherapeutic treatment showed to have little knowledge concerning RF for BC. Hence, it is important to rethink the inclusion of the health education process in the family scenario. This issue reaches far beyond thesimple transmission of information. Healthcare professionals and nurses in particular, must focus on these individuals? social context, values, beliefs and needs.

The permanence of the corn grain in the field, after physiological maturity, is an important cause of crop losses, both in quantitative and qualitative aspect. By ceasing the supply of assimilated substances to grains, due to physiological maturity, the synthesis reactions are overcome by breathing, responsible for the maintenance of the living tissues of the grains, which occur at the expense of reserves accumulated during grain formation. In addition, there are losses from fungus and insects attack due to adverse weather conditions. Technological advances in recent decades, the develop of grain dryers with different capacities and efficiencies, has led to the early withdrawal of the product from the field, still damp, reducing spoilage. Moreover, the use of artificial drying systems can represent a significant cost to the producer. Thus, the present work aimed to study the effect of natural and artificial methods of drying on maize dry matter losses, for Botucatu, city of Sao Paulo state, Brazil. The cornfield production was conducted at the Experimental Farm “Lageado” and the experimental treatments were conducted in the Laboratory of Agricultural Products Processing, in the Department of Rural Engineering, where the drying systems were tested. The treatments were: shade (control), artificial with heated air, artificial unheated air and, drying attached to the plant. The following analyzes for quality monitoring were performed: weight test, thousand-grain weight test and, grain dry weight. The results showed significant loss in quality of drying beans attached to the plant, by assessing the dry matter loss and by the variation of the grain weight. The weight test showed that the worst performance was the artificial with heated air treatment. We used mathematical modeling techniques to describe the dry matter loss and adjusted the mathematical model to the experimental data analyzed. From the experimental data obtained during drying the grain attached to the plant, it was still possible to fit a regression model that estimates the loss of grain dry matter under the climate from Botucatu during the 2011/2012 harvest period.

A hanseníase é infecção granulomatosa crônica causada pelo bacilo Mycobacterium leprae. É doença de alta contagiosidade e baixa morbidade. Acredita-se que a sua transmissão ocorra pelo contato íntimo e prolongado de indivíduo suscetível com paciente bacilífero, através da inalação de bacilos. A melhor forma de cessar a transmissão da doença é diagnosticar e tratar precocemente os casos. Esta revisão da literatura visa fornecer ao profissional de saúde subsídios que facilitem o seu desempenho no manuseio da hanseníase, contribuindo, assim, para a eliminação de fontes de infecção e prevenção de sequelas.

Survivin protein is an inhibitor of apoptosis that plays a role in cell cycle control and the mechanism of carcinogenesis. The aim of this study was to verify the clinic pathological correlation of survivin expression in exfoliative cytology of chronic smokers, mucosa of patients with intra-oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and also from mucosa after surgical removal of OSCC. Patients were divided in 03 groups: Group 1: 26 patients who smoked more than 20 cigarettes/day/10years with no history of oral malignant neoplasm, or any clinical sign visible at examination. Group 2: 26 patients who had OSCC and Group 3: 22 patients surgically treated of OSCC for at least 01 month. Immunohistochemistry of the smears from each group was analyzed by light microscopy to extent and intensity of survivin positive cells. Survivin expression was observed in 100% of cases in group 1, 88.5% in group 2 and 100% in group 3. Groups 1 and 3 showed cytoplasmic expression in 100% of the cases, while group 2 showed it in 87.5%. Cytoplasmic and nuclear expression was 7.69% observed only in group 2. The results were association with clinicopathological data by Fisher's exact test and it was significant to smoke cessation in group 2 on intensity (p=0.015) of survivin expression. The intensity of survivin expression was related to smoking cessation in group 2. Smoking history (pack/years) showed no influence survivin expression

O câncer tem sido, há muitos anos, a principal causa de morbidade e mortalidade no mundo, alcançando a casa de milhões de mortes todo ano. Dentre os tipos de câncer, os que mais matam são: pulmão, fígado, estômago, colorretal, mama e esofaringeal. Todos os fatores externos aos quais estamos expostos e até mesmo o nosso metabolismo normal, contribuem para a geração de espécies reativas de oxigênio que podem causar danos à macromoléculas, lipídios e proteínas, sendo, hoje, entendido como o responsável pelo desenvolvimento de diversos processos patológicos no ser humano, dentre eles, o câncer. Pode-se prevenir o desenvolvimento de tumores através da diminuição da exposição aos fatores de risco, como tabagismo, obesidade e sobrepeso, hábitos alimentares não saudáveis e sedentarismo, exposição a radiações e poluição do ar. O sucesso no tratamento e até mesmo a cura de determinado câncer é possível através da detecção precoce, possível através de exames de rotina. Sabe-se também que substâncias antioxidantes, presentes em muitos alimentos, atuam de forma a neutralizar o efeito danoso de radicais livres, evitando dessa forma, o estresse oxidativo. Por isso, o papel dessas substâncias tem sido alvo de muitos estudos, principalmente no que diz respeito à prevenção do câncer.
