Soroepidemiologia do HCV em doadores de sangue na cidade de Imperatriz – MA

Devido à alta mortalidade e, principalmente, a morbidade, as hepatites são um dos mais graves problemas de Saúde Pública, no País e no mundo. Entre elas destacamos a infecção da hepatite C. O número de pessoas que desconhecem que são portadoras do vírus HCV é relevante. Como atualmente a transmissão do HCV por transfusão sanguínea e hemoderivados é rara entre os doadores de sangue, depois da introdução do método de triagem nos centros hemoterápicos, fundamental para detectar a existência de uma possível infecção neste doador. A realidade epidemiológica da hepatite C em Imperatriz necessita de maior conhecimento e planejamento das estratégias de prevenção e assistência aos portadores de HCV, uma vez que não existe uma rede de serviço consolidada para o tratamento, a burocracia é grande para se chegar ao diagnóstico da doença e a sub-notificação dos casos é elevada. Tem como objetivo avaliar a soroprevalência do HCV em candidatos à doação de sangue no município de Imperatriz – MA; assim como analisar o perfil dos candidatos considerados inaptos a doação de sangue no HEMOMAR, nesta cidade; determinar a soroprevalência do Vírus da Hepatite C entre os doadores de sangue no período de 2005 a 2010; realizar o levantamento dos dados epidemiológicos, destacando o gênero e a faixa etária de maior prevalência do vírus da hepatite C; comparar os dados epidemiológicos identificando a procedência dos candidatos soropositivos para o vírus da hepatite C. o estudo é de caráter descritivo transversal, envolvendo doadores de sangue do Centro de Hematologia e Hemoterapia do Estado do Maranhão de Imperatriz - MA. Na distribuição dos doadores de sangue do HEMOMAR, regional de Imperatriz -MA quanto ao sexo, constata-se que, nos anos de 2005 à 2011 o fluxo de doadores caracterizou-se por indivíduos de ambos os sexos,com predominância do masculino (75,01%), quando analisamos o perfil dos candidatos a doadores com sorologia positiva para HCV, observamos que estes também eram a maioria. A faixa etária dos doadores de sangue do HEMOMAR predominante era de 18-29. Os candidatos a doação com sorologia positiva para HCV, foram encontrados 79,17% na situação de casados/união estável. Entre os doadores que foram considerados inaptos a doação, 0,21% apresentou sorologia positiva para HCV. A maioria dos candidatos a doadores com soropositividade para HCV pertencia ao município de Imperatriz. Concluiu-se que é importante lembrar que o processo de triagem clínica e laboratorial diminui riscos de contaminação no processo de transfusão sanguínea. A figura do doador de sangue deve ser sempre valorizada e parabenizada por todos.

Bancos comunitários de desenvolvimento: o papel da comunicação na economia solidária

O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar o papel da comunicação voltada para mobilização na economia solidária e no desenvolvimento local, especialmente em Bancos Comunitários de Desenvolvimento (BCDs). A forma de comunicação principal a ser discutida é a em decorrência do Capital Social e de mobilização social, pois a utilização de meios de comunicação de massa não consegue alcançar toda a comunidade em que o Banco atua. Para tanto, o aporte teórico teve como foco a economia solidária e o meio ambiente; comunicação; capital social; e mobilização social. Além disso foram realizadas visitas a dois BCDs em Manaus, o banco Palmas em Fortaleza e o Banco Tupinambá na Baía do Sol em Mosqueiro (Belém), onde uma pesquisa qualitativa com mães cadastradas no Bolsa Família, programa do Governo Federal de ajuda financeira direta a famílias em estado pobreza ou pobreza extrema, participantes do projeto CECI-Mulheres, cujo resultado mostrou que, apesar do projeto existir há um ano, as participantes não tem muito claro os conceitos básicos de Economia Solidária e BCDs – visto que as mulheres que fazem parte dele são agentes formadores de opinião, logo o posicionamento delas dá indícios sobre como a comunidade vê o banco. Como parte da conclusão do trabalho, o diagnóstico realizado sobre os canais de comunicação existentes do Banco Tupinambá ressalta que a comunicação para fora da comunidade é mais frequente e trabalhada do que dentro da comunidade. Dessa forma foram relacionadas sugestões de novos canais de comunicação com foco na mobilização e no crescimento do capital social dentro da comunidade da Baía do Sol.

Aquisição da linguagem: as crianças e sua atitude responsiva a perguntas abertas

Introduction: Since their first month of life, babies already show alternation in their communication, in which adults have an important role, assuming interaction turns with the child through questions known as eliciting questions. Verifying this alternation incited us to analyze children’s responsive attitudes toward the questions of the adult interlocutor. Objetives: (1) describe and characterize the kinds of responsive attitudes children have to open questions; (2) verify if there are any differences between the developed and non-developed kinds in the answers. Material and method: data were extracted from 28 interviews (recorded both in audio and in video) with four male children (5-6 years-old) who attended a public Kindergarten. Results: regarding the first objective, 88.7% of the attitudes were answers to the questions, 4.7% were non-responses and 6.6% were confirmation requests. Regarding the second objective, 48.2% of the answers were developed and 51.3%, non-developed. Conclusion: Although the high percentage of answers indicates that the children showed themselves sensitive to the demands of the adult interlocutor, the small percentage difference between developed and non-developed answers also indicates that children mostly depend on their assistance to develop their utterance since they oscillate between restricting themselves to the demand of the interlocutor and expanding it.

Acidentes na infância atendidos no pronto socorro de pediatria do Hospital das Clínicas de Botucatu que motivaram internação

Accidents represent a major public health problem as they are frequent, preventable, and account for high morbidity and mortality rates. Children are the most vulnerable to accidents due to their inherent characteristics, and as a result of their physical, sensorial, psychomotor and cognitive limitations, which will only develop with time. Watchfulness and careful attention are of paramount importance, especially as children develop locomotor skills that are accompanied by curiosity about their surroundings. Child accidents, particularly those that could have been avoided, are the accidents most commonly seen in emergency and urgency departments. Urgency and emergency departments are the greatest allies in the attention to pediatric accidents as they offer adequate, immediate and specific high complexity care to patients at risk, viewing their vital stabilization. Investigating the causes and consequences of this insult is essential to establish a diagnosis and to contribute for the adoption of measures of prevention, control, and assistance. To identify the epidemiologic characteristics of the accidents involving children that received care at the pediatric emergency department of Botucatu Medical School Hospital and required hospitalization. This quantitative, retrospective, descriptiveanalytic epidemiologic study included all children aged 0-14 years who had had an accident and were seen at the Pediatric Emergency Department of Botucatu Medical School Hospital of São Paulo State University/UNESP between January 1/2008 and December 31/2009. A total of 227 medical charts were reviewed and 178 (78.4%) patients were included in this study. Of these, 116 (65.1%) were males and 62 (34.8%) were females. Children aged 5 - 9 years (38.9%) were the most affected, followed by those aged 10 - 14 years (37.5%). Fractures occurred in 138 (77.5%) of the cases, followed by foreign bodies...

Schwartz-Jampel Syndrome: a paediatric dentistry approach

Schwartz-Jampel syndrome (SJS) is a rare recessive disorder characterized mainly by myotonia. As the clinical signs and symptoms are manifested in the oromaxillofacial region, paediatric dentists may be first choice of parents that seek information and assistance to their children. A female patient diagnosed with SJS was brought to our clinic for dental treatment with main complain of difficulty on oral hygiene and mastication due to tooth crowding. The treatment included preventive measures, extraction of a supernumerary tooth and the maxillary primary second molars. Furthermore, the patient was referred to orthodontic treatment for correction of tooth crowding. When dealing with children with confirmed diagnosis of SSJ, paediatric dentists should be understand the need of planning the dental treatment considering the characteristics and possible complications associated with the syndrome in order to reduce the risks to patients, especially when surgical procedures are necessary.

State of the art on animal embryonic chimeras

Embryonic chimerism is generally used in basic research and in vivo diagnosis of undifferentiated embryonic stem cells (ESC), mostly using mice embryos, although there have been reports in the literature on using rat, rabbit, sheep, chicken, primate, bovine, goat and pig embryos. Several techniques can currently be used to produce chimeric embryos, including microinjection, co-culture with ESC, fusion and aggregation. Although microinjection is the most commonly used method in mice, the mere aggregation of embryos with ESC may result in viable chimeras and be as efficient as microinjection. In mice, this chimerism technique has been shown to have the advantage of aggregating embryos in different stages of development with different ploidy, in addition to using ESC in the tetraploid complementation assay. Compared to other techniques for producing chimeras, the aggregation technique is a cheaper, faster and easier methodology to be performed. Moreover, aggregation can be simplified by chemically removing the zona pellucida with pronase or acidic Tyrode’s solution and be enhanced by using the Well of the Well culture system in combination with adhesion molecules, such as phytohemagglutinin. The most commonly used stages for chimerism by aggregation are those that precede the full compaction of the morula. In these stages, embryos have low-tension adherent junctions at the tangential point between two blastomeres. During the embryonic development of mice, the inner cell mass differentiates into epiblast and hypoblast. These layers will originate the fetal tissues and a portion of the extraembryonic tissues (yolk sac, allantois and amnion), whereas the trophectoderm (TE) gives rise to the chorion. A functional TE is essential for the complex molecular communications that occur between the embryo and the uterus. Embryos produced by somatic cell nuclear transfer, such as commercial cattle clones or endangered species, are subject to large fetal and neonatal losses. Hence embryo complementation with heterologous TE could be of assistance to decrease these losses and might as well assist development of high-value embryos in other approaches.

Cálculo e implementação do índice de Desenvolvimento da Gestão Municipal (IDGM) no município de Itabaiana/Se

The scarcity of resources which frequently confronts the State, coupled with demands to provide assistance to a needy population, requires that public administrators formulate efficient and effective policies to pursue its goals. It is fundamental that such policies are based on solid information of existing conditions. As such, the availability of reliable and updated socio-economic indicators is an important tool on which to fundament public policies. The present paper aims to present a Municipal Development Index – Municipal Management Development Index (IDGM) – calculated for the city of Itabaiana/SE, and is divided in two sections. The first discusses the concept of economic development and the evolution of measurement frameworks, with emphasis on the IHD and some of its limitations. The second section describes an estimated IDGM for the city of Itabaiana, as well as its methodology, results, and a brief comparative analysis with four municipalities from the state of São Paulo. Itabaiana’s IDGM reached 849 points (the maximum is 1.000), which infers a good developmental condition.
