Soroprevalência e caracterização molecular do Vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV) e do Vírus linfotrópico de células T humanas (HTLV) em mulheres profissionais do sexo do Estado do Pará, Brasil

As mulheres profissionais do sexo (MPS) constituem uma população vulnerável à aquisição de doenças sexualmente transmissíveis (DST) em virtude do tipo de atividade que desempenham. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo descrever a soroprevalência da infecção e a caracterização molecular do HIV e do HTLV de MPS do Estado do Pará, Brasil. Coletou-se amostra de sangue de 339 MPS, sendo 105 provenientes da cidade de Barcarena, 31 da cidade de Augusto Correa, 98 da cidade de Bragança e 105 da cidade de Belém, no período de abril de 2005 a agosto de 2006. Todas as amostras de plasma foram testadas para a presença de anticorpos anti-HTLV-1/2 e anti-HIV-1/2, por meio do uso de um ensaio imunoenzimático. As amostras reativas para o HTLV foram submetidas à confirmação por métodos moleculares, enquanto que as reativas para o HIV foram confirmadas por imunofluorescência indireta. A prevalência do HIV-1 e do HTLV-1 na população estudada foi de 2,3% e 1,76%, respectivamente. A amplificação do gene pro do HIV-1 revelou os subtipos B e F, enquanto que as amostras de HTLV foram classificadas como HTLV-1 do subtipo Cosmopolita do subgrupo Transcontinental. Houve uma associação significativa da infecção pelo HIV-1 com a faixa etária, com o número de parceiros por semana e com o uso inconstante de preservativos. Entretanto, a infecção pelo HTLV-1 só mostrou associação significativa em relação ao uso inconstante de preservativo. A relação sexual foi a mais provável via de aquisição da infecção pelos dois agentes virais, uma vez que o relato de uso de drogas endovenosas foi raro. Sendo assim, as MPS necessitam de maior atenção dos órgãos públicos de saúde quanto à prevenção e monitoramento de agentes transmissíveis por via sexual, uma vez que estas podem ser importantes na aquisição e disseminação destes agentes.

O impacto da infecção por Chlamydia em populações indígenas da Amazônia brasileira

A disseminação das bactérias do gênero Chlamydia no Brasil, inclusive na região Amazônica, é pouco conhecida. Este estudo soroepidemiológico incluiu 2.086 amostras de soro de populações indígenas da Amazônia brasileira, empregando metodologia de triagem pela imunofluorescência indireta para pesquisa de anticorpos. Usou-se o sorotipo L2 da C. trachomatis como substrato; a seguir, para os quinze sorotipos de C. trachomatis e para a C. pneumoniae, discriminou-se a sororreatividade pela microimunofluorescência específica. A prevalência média de anticorpos para Chlamydia foi de 48,6%. Sua variação entre as comunidades indicou as que não tiveram contato com as bactérias e aquelas em que quase todos os testados tiveram. Por meio da titulação dos anticorpos IgG e a presença de IgM específica nas amostras com títulos altos viu-se que 6,1% dos infectados persistiam com a infecção, servindo de reservatórios à disseminação das espécies de Chlamydia. Pela resposta à C. trachomatis, evidenciou-se a circulação dos sorotipos A, B, Ba, D, E, G, H, I e L1. Ademais, constatou-se que há C. pneumoniae na região. As duas espécies causariam impacto significativo no hospedeiro humano.

Blood pressure and lipid profile in young women: the role of anthropometric measurement

Body composition has fundamental importance in the quality of life and is a powerful predictor of mortality and morbidity in humans. The identification and monitoring of the amount of body fat have been receiving special attention in aspects related to health promotion, not just for its actions in the prevention and in the control of cardiovascular diseases but also for their induction and association with risk factors, especially in the plasmatic lipid levels and arterial pressure. It was investigated the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (%BF) by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) with the blood pressure levels (systolic and diastolic) and serum lipids (TC, HDL-c, LDL-c, VLDL-c, TG). In a group of fifty seven women (aged 18 to 26 years old ), obesity was detected in 5 and 19 women by BMI (≥ 30 kg/m2) and %BF (≥ 30%), respectively. BMI and % BF were positively correlated with blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), and highly significant in the obese group by %BF. Moreover, BMI and % BF were significantly correlated with all lipids and lipoprotein fractions VLDL-c and triglyceride, respectively. These results suggest that %BF is a good indicator of “occult obesity” in subjects with normal body mass index. The associated use of BMI and %BF to better evaluate obesity may improve the study of blood pressure levels and serum lipid changes that are commonly associated with obesity.

A produção científica sobre diagnóstico de enfermagem NANDA no Brasil: revisão integrativa da literatura-UNESP – Botucatu

Concern about the identity of nursing professionals has existed since Florence Nightingale. The exercise of the nursing profession must be based on scientific principles so that the actual health problems of a given community can be assessed and actions targeted at improving the population’s quality of life can be designed from such assessments. This problem assessment is referred to as Nursing Diagnosis. NANDA defines diagnosis as “a clinical judgment about individual, family or community responses to actual or potential health problems/life processes. Nursing diagnosis provides the basis for selection of nursing interventions to achieve outcomes for which nurses are accountable”. The present study aimed at investigating the scientific production on Nursing Diagnosis (NANDA). This is an literature review. For data collection, an instrument that addressed the following items was used: identification of original articles and evaluation of their objectives, methodological characteristics, results and conclusion. In the present review, 15 articles that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. They were all authored by nurses. Four articles addressed obstetrics, puerperium and neonatology, and the diagnosis of an unsatisfactory breastfeeding process was observed in 100% of cases. As regards chronic diseases, four articles were found, and two exclusively addressed diabetes, with a main diagnosis of an ineffective control of the therapeutic regimen. Three articles addressed the elderly, and the main diagnosis found was hindered mobility in more than 90% of cases. As regards, sexually transmitted diseases, one article was found with three diagnoses with 100% for disturbed sleep patterns, infection risk and ineffective protection. As to patients with sequelae, two articles were identified, and the diagnoses found were hindered physical mobility, with 100%; self-care deficit for...

O trabalho do enfermeiro na vigilância à saúde da criança sob o olhar da gestão da Atenção Básica à Saúde

This study aimed at apprehending and analyzing the perspective of Primary Health Care managers concerning nurses’ work in Children’s Health Surveillance in a city in São Paulo state. The study population consisted of eight professionals from different professional categories with direct activity in the city’s management of the population’s Health Surveillance. It is a descriptive, qualitative study. Data were collected by means of recorded semi-structured interviews. The framework used for data analysis was the thematic Content Analysis Method. The results were systematized into three themes: 1- Managers’ conceptualizations concerning Children’s Health Surveillance and its application in practice; 2- Managers’ perspectives concerning nurses’ work in Children’s Health Surveillance; 3- Qualification of Children’s Health Surveillance under the view of the municipal management. The conceptualizations concerning Children’s Health Surveillance that were apprehended showed to be convergent as they indicated this model’s appropriateness to identify and prioritize children’s care in vulnerability conditions in the territory where they live. However, some managers did not include, in their statements, health promotion aspects as one of the cornerstones of their managerial action. Nurses were considered to be fundamental in the Children’s Health Surveillance process due to their competencies and responsibilities undertaken in this health provision level. The main difficulties for adequate implementation of Children’s Health Surveillance in Primary Health Care and the proposal to overcome them were pointed out. It was concluded that, under the managers’ perspectives, nurses can greatly contribute to Children’s Health Surveillance in Primary Health Care as members of the health care team; however, to that end, they need professional qualification, structural conditions and institutional support with that regard

Avaliação preliminar dos efeitos de Brassica campestris sobre a obesidade induzida por dieta hipercalórica

Obesity along with overweight has been considered one of the most serious public health problems in the world, especially because they are the main risk factors for many chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, type II diabetes mellitus, hypertension and some types of tumors, which are associated with high mortality rates. The use of functional foods and appropriate diets to promote health has grown as a mechanism for prevention, control and treatment of chronic diseases such as obesity. Several ethnopharmacological studies indicate plants species for the treatment of disorders associated with obesity with a major attraction of this regimen is perceived as safer and more effective for health than the traditional treatment with appetite suppressants. Whereas both food intake and the oral treatment with different compounds can cause changes in gene expression and that a proper diet has been valuable as a mechanism for maintaining the body's vital functions, the objective of this project was to evaluate the effects of standardized extract of Brassica campestris L. in the decrease in weight and food intake control. In vivo trials of this product were conducted and studies of its effects on energy metabolism in non-obese mice and with obesity induced by hypercaloric diet. After induction of obesity by 8 weeks, animals were treated for 21 days with the extract orally. After 21 days the animals were killed and the effects of this product were evaluated on the daily feed intake and on body weight. According to the results obtained, the extract of Brassica campestris was not effective in reducing body weight of obese animals, and did not reduce food intake

Avaliação preliminar dos efeitos de Coffea arabica sobre a obesidade induzida por dieta hipercalórica

Obesity along with overweight, has been considered one of the most serious public health problems in the world, especially because they are the main risk factors for many chronic diseases, such as coronary heart disease, type II diabetes mellitus, hypertension and some types of tumors, which are associated with high mortality rates. The use of functional foods and appropriate diets to call health promotion has grown as a mechanism for prevention, control and treatment of chronic diseases such as obesity. Several ethnopharmacological studies indicate plant species for the treatment of disorders associated with obesity with a major attraction of this regimen is perceived as safer and more effective health than the traditional treatment with appetite suppressants. This work aims to develop and standardize models of biological assays in stress and obesity, also aims to evaluate the effect of oil green beans of Coffea arabica in the regulation of body weight and energy balance in mice. To this end, trials were made in vivo studies of this product and their effects on energy metabolism in non-obese mice with obesity induced by hypercaloric diet. After induction of obesity by 8 weeks, animals were treated for 21 days with the extracts orally. After 21 days the animals were killed to evaluate the effects of these products on daily feed intake and on body weight. The group treated with the oil of Coffea arabica L. showed significant weight loss and feed intake high. According to the results, we conclude that the standardized extract of Coffea arabica L. decreased body weight without restriction or decrease the amount of food ingested

Etanol e comportamento sexual de risco

O aumento da incidência de Doenças Sexualmente Transmissíveis (DSTs) em alunos do ensino fundamental e médio está ocorrendo no mesmo período em que se dá o crescimento da prevalência de consumo de etanol nesta faixa etária. Alguns estudos têm demonstrado a relação entre o uso de etanol e comportamentos sexuais de risco na adolescência. O aumento do número de publicações das relações entre o uso de substâncias psicoativas e as DSTs revela a crescente preocupação dos pesquisadores da área de saúde mundial com esses dois problemas importantes. Essas questões atingem uma camada importante da população – os adolescentes – podendo interferir no desenvolvimento desses indivíduos que constituirão a população adulta e produtiva da sociedade no futuro. Há muitos trabalhos de conscientização contra o alcoolismo ou DSTs visando o público jovem, porém há poucos que correlacione os dois temas. Portanto, o presente trabalho se propôs a estudar a relação entre o consumo abusivo de etanol, como substância psicoativa, e o comportamento sexual de risco através do levantamento do perfil de estudantes do Ensino Médio em uma Escola Estadual da cidade de Botucatu, evidenciando a real importância de adoção de estratégias pedagógicas mais efetivas que trate dos temas em questão. O uso de etanol nessa população mostrou estar associado ao aumento no número de estudantes com vida sexual ativa, diminuição na idade de iniciação sexual, menor uso de preservativo e atos de arrependimento e violência. Conclui-se, assim, a necessidade da escola, enquanto espaço privilegiado da informação e saber, ater-se em programas que tratem dos temas em questão (drogas e sexualidade) oportunizando o diálogo e a reflexão

Avaliação preliminar dos efeitos de Bidens pilosa L. sobre a obesidade induzida por dieta hipercalórica

The obesity along with overweight has been considered one of the most serious public health problems in the world, especially because they are the main risk factors for many chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and some types of tumors, which are associated with high mortality rates. The use of functional foods and appropriate diets to promote health has grown as a prevention mechanism. Previous studies suggested Bidens pilosa L. for the treatment of disorders associated with obesity, with one important attraction of this regiment is perceived as safer and more effective health than the traditional anorexigen .The aim of this project is to standardize a new model of obesity induced by hipercaloric diet in Swiss mice, and also to evaluate the effect of Bidens pilosa L. extract in the reduction of food intake, weight and toxicity. After induction of obesity, the animals were treated for 21 days with the extract. Then the animals were killed and samples were collected for further analysis. Preliminary, the effect of this product has being evaluated on the daily food intake and body weight. In dose of 100mg/Kg, there were no significant changes in food intake and body weight. Thus, this concentration of Bidens pilosa was not effective in reducing body weight of obese animals, and did not reduce food intake
