A internalização de signos como intermediação entre a psicologia histórico-cultural e a pedagogia histórico-crítica

This article highlights the theoretical and methodological unity existing between the culturalhistorical psychology and the historical-critical pedagogy, taking the category of mediation as a central element of analysis. This fact is justified since that category is emerging as an essential premise of the historical-materialist dialectical method; and this method, in turn, is the foundation of both the historicalcultural psychology and the pedagogy historical-critical. For achieving the stated aim, the text is organized around two themes. The first goes back to the historical-cultural conception of psychism, highlighting of internalization of signs as a condition for the development of that psychism; the second brings into focus the relationship between internalization of signs and concept formation, in order to demonstrate that the quality of the concepts in the training school is the intervening variable in the psychological development. By the way of concluding remarks, it is said the internalization of signs as a central element of mediation between historical-cultural psychology and historical-critical pedagogy.

A dialética singular-particular-universal: implicações do método materialista dialético para a psicologia

Considering that Cultural-Historical theory has been gaining importance within Brazilian Psychology in the last decades, this essay aims at contributing to understanding its ontological and epistemological foundations, introducing the concepts of singularity, particularity and universality of the dialectics that exists between them. The analysis looks to explore the implications to Psychology, both as a science and as a professional practice, of the lukacsian indication about the need to apprehend the connections between singularity, particularity and universality as a condition for understanding the essence of phenomena. In that sense, this analysis brings light to the individual/society dynamics unity affirmed by historical-dialectical materialism, which contributes to overcoming of the dichotomies usually established between the poles of this relationship.

A sífilis na gestação e sua influência na morbimortalidade materno-infantil

Syphilis in pregnancy is a public health problem, responsible for the high intrauterine mortality rates. This article aims to present a review of historical and epidemiological aspects, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, the treatment of maternal and congenital syphilis, and its perinatal repercussions. The manuscript also describes the Brazilian main policies in public health care for pregnant women with syphilis and for congenital syphilis eradication. The set of words used were “congenital syphilis”, “syphilis in pregnancy” and “syphilis prenatal care”. The databases searched were PubMed (National Library of Medicine - USA), SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences), PAHO (Pan American Health Organization), IBECS, and WHOLIS Cochrane Library, from 1980 to 2011. Fifty-six articles were included in this review, 18 institutional technical manuals, two textbooks and 36 articles relating to maternal and congenital syphilis. The present review showed that there is a gap between intention and action needed to control and eradicate the disease especially with regard to the expansion of access, not only in relation to the number of visits recommended male gender, it is important to assess the quality of their content as well as the actions to be carried out between appointments.

Atuação do interferon-tau no reconhecimento materno da gestação

Maternal recognition of pregnancy is a process by which the conceptus signals its presence to the mother in order to prolong the life of the corpus luteum (CL) thus maintaining the pregnancy. This process occurs between days 15 and 19 after fertilization and is the most important biological challenge for obtaining satisfactory reproductive indices in bovine. Interferon-tau (IFN-τ) glycoprotein -secreted in the uterus by the conceptus- has a paracrine action inhibiting the expression of estrogen receptors (ESR1) and oxytocin (OXTR) in the endometrium, thus preventing the release of luteolytic pulses of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2α), hormone responsible for the onset of luteolysis. IFN-τ also increases the expression of several interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) in the uterus, CL, and blood cells. Direct endocrine action of IFN-τ on extrauterine tissues stimulates ISGs expression, which in the corpus luteum seems to be involved with luteal resistance to luteolytic action of PGF2α. This review discusses recent findings on the luteolysis mechanism in the bovine and endocrine and paracrine mechanisms such as IFN-τ during the maternal recognition of pregnancy.

Promoção da saúde Materno-Infantil: grupo reflexivo sobre o uso de plantas medicinais e medicamentos fitoterápicos na gravidez e lactação

O uso de plantas medicinais por mulheres grávidas e em período de lactação é uma prática comum em diversos países. Entretanto, muitas plantas medicinais são contra-indicadas durante a gravidez e amamentação devido a vários efeitos adversos que podem apresentar, como embriotoxicidade, teratogenicidade e efeitos abortivos. Esse fato acaba expondo essas mulheres, seus fetos e bebês, a riscos de saúde desconhecidos. Assim, a proposta desse trabalho foi analisar a percepção a respeito do uso de plantas medicinais por mulheres grávidas e lactantes na ONG Bebê a Bordo, em Araraquara, São Paulo, entre 2013 e 2014. O grupo foi constituído por 96 mulheres ao todo, entre o primeiro e o último trimestre de gestação. Os dados foram coletados em encontros com grupos de gestantes utilizando questionários como roteiro e também através de entrevista oral. Esse estudo promove uma análise de natureza qualitativa. Os resultados foram baseados nos relatos de mulheres grávidas sobre o uso de plantas medicinais, a indicação de uso e conhecimento dos riscos avindos do uso. Todas as participantes foram informadas oralmente e por escrito sobre o estudo e assinaram um termo de consentimento. O uso de plantas medicinais é uma realidade entre as mulheres gestantes e lactantes da ONG Bebê a Bordo. Elas reportaram acreditar que produtos naturais não oferecem perigo à saúde. As principais fontes de informação sobre o uso de plantas medicinais durante a gravidez são familiares, vizinhos, amigos e internet. As plantas mais citadas são: hortelã, camomila, boldo, capim-cidreira e erva-doce. Tais plantas eram indicadas para náusea, indigestão, gases, constipação, ansiedade, e também para produzir leite. As mulheres gestantes e lactantes demonstraram que falta conhecimento sobre os riscos à saúde que as plantas medicinais e os medicamentos fitoterápicos podem oferecer nessas fases. Elas também comentaram sobre as dificuldades em...
