Escola promotora de saúde : um estudo na unidade integrada José Castro do município de Caxias- Maranhão, Brasil

Esta dissertação teve como objetivo analisar as práticas pedagógicas vivenciadas pela comunidade educativa e pela equipe saúde da família do Programa Saúde na Escola no Ensino Fundamental II (8ª série) da Unidade Integrada José Castro do município de Caxias, Estado do Maranhão, Brasil. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de caráter descritivo e exploratório com abordagens quantitativa, qualitativa e documental direta. O universo foi constituído de 52 pessoas que correspondem à comunidade educativa (adolescentes, professores, coordenador pedagógico e gestor escolar) e a equipe de saúde da família (enfermeiros, médicos, dentista, agentes comunitários de saúde e assistente de saúde bucal) da Unidade Básica de Saúde do bairro Ponte. Sendo realizada no período de Agosto a Novembro de 2010. O estudo evidenciou que os alunos estão bastante receptivos com o programa saúde na escola. Com relação aos docentes, constatamos uma insatisfação pelo fato de não terem participado de uma formação em educação permanente em saúde, nem terem tomado conhecimento sobre as estratégias de operacionalização do programa. Já os profissionais de saúde, questionaram sobre a falta de conhecimento da política de implantação do programa e sugerem também, que a equipe de saúde da família fosse específica para este programa.

Reflexão museológica — o torreão do Palácio Condes de Castro Guimarães

O Palácio onde actualmente está instalado o Museu Condes de Castro Guimarães foi mandado construir por Jorge O'Neill, cerca de 1900, num terreno cujo aforamento requereu à Câmara de Cascais a 10 de Novembro de 1892 “entre a Cidadella e a estrada que conduz à Boca do Inferno”. Jorge O'Neill, descendente dos príncipes de Tyrone e de Glen-Boy reis da Irlanda, homem ligado à finança e à indústria do Tabaco, nem sempre foi afortunado nos seus negócios, razão porque se viu obrigado a vender a “Torre de S. Sebastião com todo o recheio por trinta e seis contos” ao Conde Manuel Castro Guimarães, advogado e banqueiro. Este segundo proprietário, tendo falecido em 1927 e não deixando descendentes, legou “à vila de Cascais”, a sua “propriedade denominada Torre de S. Sebastião... com toda a mobília, objectos d'arte, livros e pratas,... com a condição... de ser destinado a um pequeno Museu Municipal e Biblioteca publica e os jardins e parque contíguo para recreio do público” . O Museu abriu ao público em 1930 e teve a sua inauguração oficial a 1931. Como Museu-Biblioteca, constituindo ainda hoje a mais importante Instituição Cultural no concelho, o palácio é por si só, um edifício relevante dentro da arquitectura do romantismo.

Las reformas de Raúl Castro: evaluación de horizontes y contenidos alternativos (Coyuntura)

El artículo analiza las últimas reformas hechas por el gobierno cubano a partir de la estructura del sistema político establecido en ese país y su relación y efectividad con las instituciones, la ciudadanía y actores locales cubanos. Argumenta que los cambios buscan mejorar la crisis económica y gobernabilidad del país, sin concesiones que permitan el establecimiento de nuevos actores políticos. Concluye que los diversos grupos, sociabilidades, redes deben constituir un mínimo de acuerdos y colaboraciones sobre la restitución de derechos a los ciudadanos, así como los modos y plazos para poner fin al monopolio legal y control/represión del Estado.

Outcome Analysis of Immediate and Delayed Conservative Breast Surgery Reconstruction With Mastopexy and Reduction Mammaplasty Techniques

Background: Bilateral mammaplasty or mastopexy is frequently used for oncoplastic objectives. However, little information has been available regarding outcome following immediate and delayed reconstruction. Method: Patients were divided into Group I (immediate reconstruction) and Group II (delayed reconstruction). Retrospective review was performed to compare complications, length of hospital stay, revision surgeries, and satisfaction. The associations between the complications with potential risk factors (timing, age, body mass index, smoking, and comorbid medical conditions) were analyzed. Results: There were a total of 144 patients with a mean follow-up of 47 months. Of the 106 patients in Group I, complications occurred in 24 (22.6%), skin necrosis was observed in 7.5%, fat necrosis in 5.6%, and 6.6% patients developed local recurrence. Mean period of hospitalization was 1.89 days. Of the 38 patients of the Group II, complications occurred in 12 (31.5%), skin necrosis was observed in 7 (18.4%), fat necrosis in 4 (10.5%), and 5.2% patients developed local recurrence. Mean period of hospitalization was 1.35 days. Increased length of hospital stay greater than 1 day (P < 0.001) and the number of revision surgeries (P = 0.043) were associated with the timing of the reconstruction. In univariate analysis, no difference between groups was found with respect to complication incidence (P = 0.275); however, after adjusting for other risk factors, the probability of complications tend to be higher for Group II (OR = 2.65; 95% confidence interval - 1.01-7.00; P = 0.049). Conclusions: On the basis of the results of our study, the probability of complications tends to be higher for delayed reconstructions, and it is demonstrated that obesity and smoking are risk factors for complications. Ultimately, these data may facilitate the provision of individualized risk information for shared medical decision-making.

Optimizing the nipple-areola sparing mastectomy with double concentric periareolar incision and biodimensional expander-implant reconstruction: Aesthetic and technical refinements

Although the biodimensional anatomical expander-implant system (BEIS) is a reliable technique, little information has been available regarding outcome following nipple-areola sparing mastectomy (NSM). To perform the resection of glandular tissue, while improving the surgical access and maintaining the nipple-areola vascularization we have developed a new approach for NSM based on the double concentric periareolar incision (DCPI). The purpose of this study is to analyze the feasibility, surgical planning and its outcome following NSM. 18 patients underwent NSM reconstructions. Mean time of follow-up was 29 months. The technique was indicated in patients with small/moderate volume breasts. Flap complications were evaluated and information on aesthetic results and patient satisfaction were collected. 83.3% had tumors measuring 2 cm or less (T1) and 72.1% were stage 0 and 1. All patients presented peripherally tumors located (at least 5 cm from the nipple). Skin complications occurred in 11.1%. One patient (5.5%) presented small skin necrosis and a wound dehiscence was observed in one patient (5.5%). The aesthetic result was good/very good in 94.4 percent and the majority of patients were very satisfied/satisfied. No local recurrences were observed. All complications except one were treated by a conservative approach. DCPI-BEIS is a simple and reliable technique for NSM reconstruction. The success depends on patient selection, coordinated planning with the oncologic surgeon and careful intra-operative and post-operative management. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Astyanax bockmanni Vari and Castro, 2007: an ambiguous karyotype in the Astyanax genus

Despite the widespread distribution of Astyanax bockmanni in streams from Upper Parana River system in central, southeastern, and southern Brazil, just recently, it has been identified as a distinct Astyanax species. Cytogenetic studies were performed in two populations of this species, revealing conservative features. A. bockmanni shows 2n = 50 chromosomes, a karyotypic formula composed of 10 M + 12SM + 12ST + 16A and multiple Ag-NORs. Eight positive signals in subtelocentric/acrocentric chromosomes were identified by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with 18S rDNA probes. After FISH with 5S rDNA probes, four sites were detected, comprising the interstitial region of a metacentric pair and the terminal region on long arms of another metracentric pair. Little amounts of constitutive heterochromatin were observed, mainly distributed at distal region in two chromosomal pairs. Additionally, heterochromatin was also located close to the centromeres in some chromosomes. No positive signals were detected in the chromosomes of A. bockmanni by FISH with the As-51 satellite DNA probe. The studied species combines a set of characteristics previously identified in two different Astyanax groups. The chromosomal evolution in the genus Astyanax is discussed.

Relative populations and toxin production by Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium verticillioides in artificially inoculated corn at various stages of development under field conditions

The presence, development and production of mycotoxins by Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium verticillioides were studied in corn ears under field conditions after artificial contamination of corn silks. The planted area was divided into five treatments: T1, inoculated with A.flavus solution containing 1 x 10(8) spores, ears covered; T2, inoculated with F. verticillioides solution containing 1 X 10(8) spores, ears covered; T3, inoculated with E verticillioides plus A. flavus solution containing 1 x 10(8) spores of each, ears covered; T4, sprayed with sterile phosphate-buffered saline, ears covered; TS, non-sprayed silks, uncovered ears. Soil and air samples were also collected and analysed for the occurrence of fungi. Water activity, relative air humidity, rainfall and temperature were determined to assess the correlation between abiotic factors and the presence of fungi in the samples. Contamination with the inoculated fungus predominated in T1 and T2. In the other treatments, F. verticillioides was the most frequently isolated contaminant irrespective of treatment. Considering the production of mycotoxins, a positive relation between the production of fumonisins B-1 and B-2 and the frequency of F. verticillioides was statistically verified in all treatments.
