Rosalia de Castro y la visión poética de Galicia

Este artículo estudia la visión de la poeta española Rosalía de Castro (1837-1885) de su Galicia natal a partir de algunos de sus poemas, en especial del libro En las orillas del Sar (1884), la colección lírica considerada como la más importante de la autora. Desde el análisis de algunas piezas significativas sobre el tema de Galicia, se cubre inicialmente su visión personal de contestación a favor de su tierra natal. La segunda parte del estudio se centra en la temática social en Rosalía de Castro en relación con la defensa del emigrante gallego.

Qualificação da atenção aos hipertensos e diabéticos da UBS Rosalia Gondim de Melo no município de Paraú/RN

A hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) e o diabetes mellitus (DM) são doenças crônicas extremamente prevalentes na população brasileira, que têm repercussões sistêmicas importantes e são consideradas problemas de saúde pública. A cobertura de atendimento na Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS) Rosália Gondim de Melo, de Paraú era 36% para hipertensos e 35% para diabéticos, necessitando de ser ampliado, o que foi um dos motivos para a realização desta intervenção. Assim este trabalho teve por objetivo, melhorar a qualidade da atenção básica aos usuários hipertensos e diabéticos da desta UBS. A. A intervenção foi composta por um atendimento qualificado, busca ativa contínua, realização de atividades em grupo e visitas domiciliares para os hipertensos e diabéticos e capacitação da equipe. O acompanhamento dos usuários foi realizado através de instrumentos como a ficha espelho e registros dos prontuários. Os dados foram transcritos para a planilha de coleta de dados, que geraram os resultados, por meio do cálculo dos indicadores, que avaliaram a ampliação da cobertura, melhoria da qualidade da atenção, melhoria da adesão ao programa; melhoria do registro das informações; mapeamento dos hipertensos e diabéticos de risco para doença cardiovascular e promoção da saúde dos hipertensos e diabéticos. Os resultados foram bastante positivos: houve o aumento para 78% da cobertura dos diabéticos e para 42.5% para os hipertensos. Além disso, houve a melhoria na qualidade da atenção à saúde: 100% tiveram avaliação da necessidade de atendimento odontológico, receberam orientações sobre atividade física regular, sobre os riscos do tabagismo, sobre alimentação saudável, receberam orientações sobre higiene bucal; tiveram o risco cardiovascular calculado; tiveram seus registros melhorados. Outros resultados: 53.6% dos hipertensos e 35.7% dos diabéticos foram faltosos às consultas mesmo com a busca ativa, 54.9% dos hipertensos e 53.1% dos diabéticos tiveram exames clínicos em dia; 49.3% dos hipertensos e 37.5% dos diabéticos tiveram exames complementarem em dia e 100% tiveram seus registros adequados. Os resultados mostram como essa intervenção foi importante para a UBS, para a comunidade hipertensa e diabética, que teve uma melhora significativa na qualidade do atendimento e também para equipe de saúde, que adquiriu conhecimento, durante as reuniões de capacitação e fortaleceu o espírito de trabalho em equipe durante a intervenção.

Cluster Analysis To Identify Elderly People's Profiles: A Healthcare Strategy Based On Frailty Characteristics.

The new social panorama resulting from aging of the Brazilian population is leading to significant transformations within healthcare. Through the cluster analysis strategy, it was sought to describe the specific care demands of the elderly population, using frailty components. Cross-sectional study based on reviewing medical records, conducted in the geriatric outpatient clinic, Hospital de Clínicas, Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp). Ninety-eight elderly users of this clinic were evaluated using cluster analysis and instruments for assessing their overall geriatric status and frailty characteristics. The variables that most strongly influenced the formation of clusters were age, functional capacities, cognitive capacity, presence of comorbidities and number of medications used. Three main groups of elderly people could be identified: one with good cognitive and functional performance but with high prevalence of comorbidities (mean age 77.9 years, cognitive impairment in 28.6% and mean of 7.4 comorbidities); a second with more advanced age, greater cognitive impairment and greater dependence (mean age 88.5 years old, cognitive impairment in 84.6% and mean of 7.1 comorbidities); and a third younger group with poor cognitive performance and greater number of comorbidities but functionally independent (mean age 78.5 years old, cognitive impairment in 89.6% and mean of 7.4 comorbidities). These data characterize the profile of this population and can be used as the basis for developing efficient strategies aimed at diminishing functional dependence, poor self-rated health and impaired quality of life.

Synteny of human chromosomes 14 and 15 in the platyrrhines (Primates, Platyrrhini)

In order to study the intra- and interspecific variability of the 14/15 association in Platyrrhini, we analyzed 15 species from 13 genera, including species that had not been described yet. The DNA libraries of human chromosomes 14 and 15 were hybridized to metaphases of Alouatta guariba clamitans, A. caraya, A. sara, Ateles paniscus chamek, Lagothrix lagothricha, Brachyteles arachnoides, Saguinus midas midas, Leontopithecus chrysomelas, Callimico goeldii, Callithrix sp., Cebus apella, Aotus nigriceps, Cacajao melanocephalus, Chiropotes satanas and Callicebus caligatus. The 14/15 hybridization pattern was present in 13 species, but not in Alouatta sara that showed a 14/15/14 pattern and Aotus nigriceps that showed a 15/14/15/14 pattern. In the majority of the species, the HSA 14 homologue retained synteny for the entire chromosome, whereas the HSA 15 homologue displayed fragmented segments. Within primates, the New World monkeys represent the taxon with the highest variability in chromosome number (2n = 16 to 62). The presence of the HSA 14/15 association in all species and subspecies studied herein confirms that this association is the ancestral condition for platyrrhines and that this association has been retained in most platyrrhines, despite the occurrence of extensive inter- and intrachromosomal rearrangements in this infraorder of Primates.

Activated satellite cells in medial rectus muscles of patients with strabismus

PURPOSE. The goal of this study was to determine whether the medial rectus muscles of patients with a history of medial rectus underaction or overaction show alterations in the process of satellite cell activation when compared with normal age-matched control muscles. METHODS. Medial rectus muscles were obtained with consent from adult patients undergoing surgical resection due to medial rectus underaction or overaction and were prepared for histologic examination by fixation and paraffin embedding. Control muscles were obtained from cornea donor eyes of adults who had no history of strabismus or neuromuscular disease. Cross sections were obtained and stained immunohistochemically for the presence of activated satellite cells, as identified by MyoD immunoreactivity, and the presence of the total satellite cell population, as identified by Pax7 immunoreactivity. The percentages of MyoD- and Pax7-positive satellite cells per 100 myofibers in cross section were calculated. RESULTS. As predicted from results in the literature, MyoD-positive satellite cells, indicative of activation, were present in both the control and resected muscles. In the underacting medial rectus muscles, the percentages of MyoD- and Pax7-positive satellite cells, based on the number of myofibers, were approximately twofold higher than the percentages in the control muscles. In the overacting medial rectus muscles, the percentage of MyoD- positive satellite cells was twofold less than in the control muscles, whereas the percentage of Pax7-positive satellite cells significantly increased compared with that in the control specimens. CONCLUSIONS. The presence of an increased number of activated satellite cells in the resected underacting medial rectus muscles and the decreased numbers of activated satellite cells in the overacting muscles was unexpected. The upregulation in the number of MyoD- positive satellite cells in underacting muscles suggests that there is potential for successful upregulation of size in these muscles, as the cellular machinery for muscle repair and regeneration, the satellite cells, is retained and active in patients with medial rectus underaction. The decreased number of activated satellite cells in overacting MR muscle suggests that factors as yet unknown in these overacting muscles are able to affect the number of satellite cells and/or their responsiveness compared with normal age-matched control muscles. These hypotheses are currently being tested.

Effects of Recession versus Tenotomy Surgery without Recession in Adult Rabbit Extraocular Muscle

PURPOSE. Surgical recession of an extraocular muscle (EOM) posterior to its original insertion is a common form of strabismus surgery, weakening the rotational force exerted by the muscle on the globe and improving eye alignment. The purpose of this study was to assess myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoform expression and satellite cell activity as defined by Pax7 expression in recessed EOMs of adult rabbits compared with that in muscles tenotomized but not recessed and with that in normal control muscles. METHODS. The scleral insertion of the superior rectus muscle was detached and sutured either 7 mm posterior to its original insertion site (recession surgery) or at the same site (tenotomy). One day before euthanatization, the rabbits received bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) injections. After 7 and 14 days, selected EOMs from both orbits were examined for changes in fast, slow, neonatal, and developmental MyHC isoform expression, Pax7 expression, and BrdU incorporation. RESULTS. Recession and tenotomy surgery resulted in similar changes in the surgical EOMs. These included a decreased proportion of fast MyHC myofibers, an increased proportion of slow MyHC myofibers, and increased BrdU-positive satellite cells. Similar changes were seen in the non-operated contralateral superior rectus muscles. The ipsilateral inferior rectus showed reciprocal changes to the surgical superior rectus muscles. CONCLUSIONS. The EOMs are extremely adaptive to changes induced by recession and tenotomy surgery, responding with modulations in fiber remodeling and myosin expression. These adaptive responses could be manipulated to improve surgical success rates. (Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2010;51:5646-5656) DOI:10.1167/iovs.10-5523

How middle managers contribute to strategy formation process: connection of strategy processes and strategy practices

The role of middle management is essential when managing integrative and emergent strategy formation processes. We stand out the importance of its role connecting micro and macro organizational level offering a very important contribution when examining the strategy-as-practice perspective and integrative strategy formation process. The main goal of this research is to analyse the relationship between the integrative strategy formation process and the roles of middle management under the strategy-as-practice perspective. To check it out we adopted a qualitative methodology droving a case analysis in a Spanish University. Data was collected by means of personal interviews with members of different levels of the Institution, documents analysis and direct observation. In advance of some results we find out that the University develops an integrative strategy formation process and confers to middle management an important role extended all over the organization.
