O distanciamento entre a formação e a prática profissional

The training of the dentist should be aligned with the demands of social needs. For this to happen, contents related to the main problems faced by the population, such as domestic violence, must be addressed in their education. The present study aims to evaluate the degree of knowledge of dentists in relation to domestic violence, as well as verify that the Curriculum Grades of five private Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and five state HEIs are in accordance with what is required in Curriculum Matrices established for undergraduate dentistry. It is a cross-sectional study with the application of a questionnaire to dentists of Basic Units of a small municipality in the interior of São Paulo and analysis of the Political-Pedagogical projects and curricular matrices of the HEIs. It was found through this research that only 9.1% of dentists know how domestic violence cases are recorded, 20% are familiar with the legislation and all the professionals are not aware of the records of notifications of violence. With respect to the curricula, between 86.37% and 94.12% of the curriculum content is focused on technical disciplines. A lack of professional efforts in addressing the problem in what refers to the identification and reporting of cases and, the lack of awareness of the legislation on the subject was found. There was also the need to adapt the curricula of the HEIs towards an approach of the subject, seeking to adequate them by the demand of the society with regard to the responsibility of the dentist in the treatment, notification and prevention of the phenomenon.

Influence of artificial accelerated ageing on the colour stability of paints used for ocular prosthesis iris painting

Objectives: To evaluate the colour stability of paints used for ocular prosthesis iris painting submitted for accelerated artificial ageing (AAA). Materials and methods: Forty specimens of acrylic resin for sclera (16 x 2 mm) were made and separated into eight groups (n = 10) according to the type of paint (gouache, GP; oil, OP; acrylic AP; and composite resin for characterisation, CR) and the colours used (blue/brown). After drying (72 h), a new layer of colourless acrylic resin was applied and the initial colour readout was performed (Spectrophotometer PCB 6807). New colour readouts were performed after AAA, and Delta E was calculated. Results: Statistical analysis (two-way ANOVA-Bonferroni, p < 0.05) demonstrated that the brown colour showed lower Delta E means in comparison with the blue colour, with statistically significant difference for AP only. Blue colour showed no statistically significant difference with regard to the type of paint used. Brown AP showed lower Delta E than the other groups, with significant difference for OP and GP. GP showed greater alteration in Delta E for the brown colour, being statistically similar only to OP. Conclusions: Only the AP group for brown pigment shows clinically acceptable values for colour stability after AAA.

A longitudinal study of Neospora caninum infection on three dairy farms in Brazil

Neospora caninum is an apicomplexan protozoan parasite that is one of the most important infectious causes of abortion in both dairy and beef cattle in many countries. The objectives of this longitudinal study were to determine the prevalence, rates of vertical and horizontal transmission of N. caninum and hazard for culling of N. caninum-seropositive animals in three Brazilian dairy herds. Blood samples from all animals were collected nine times at each of the three farms over a two-year period. Serum was tested for antibodies against N. caninum using the indirect fluorescent antibody test with a cutoff value of 1:100. The percentage of N. caninum-positive samples at each sampling time ranged at Farm 1 from 3.32% to 11.71%, at Farm 11 from 3.90% to 22.06% and at Farm III from 3.90% to 22.06%. The number of positive serological reactions varied in relation to the number of repeated samples taken from individual animals at each farm. In all herds, there was a high degree (P < 0.05) of association between the N. caninum serological status of dams and daughters. The seropositive conversion rate was estimated as 0.37%, 3.00% and 6.94% per 100 cow-years at Farms I, II and III, respectively. The seronegative conversion rate was estimated as 31.58% and 11.11% per 100 cow-years at Farms 1 and III, respectively. In all herds, there was no difference (P > 0.05) in the culling rate between the cattle that were seropositive cattle and seronegative for N. caninum infection. The results from this study confirm the importance of vertical transmission in the epidemiology of N. caninum. Although a few positive seroconversions indicated horizontal transmission, it does not appear to be the major route of infection for N. caninum. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Avaliação de resultados em um serviço de atenção secundária para pacientes com Diabetes mellitus

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o componente resultado em um serviço de atenção secundária a usuários com Diabetes mellitus tipo 2, tomando como indicadores os controles de pressão arterial, hemoglobina glicada e lipoproteína de baixa densidade. MÉTODOS: Estudo do tipo documental e retrospectivo envolvendo a análise desses indicadores, obtidos nos anos entre 2007 e 2009, com base na consulta de 108 prontuários de usuários de um serviço de atenção secundária, realizada na avaliação de cuidados em saúde. RESULTADOS: Os resultados evidenciaram que 30,3% dos usuários alcançaram a meta para a hemoglobina glicada, 48,1%, para a pressão arterial e 42,3%, para a lipoproteína de baixa densidade. CONCLUSÃO: Os dados avaliados foram semelhantes aos encontrados em outras investigações internacionais e nacionais, com grande proporção de usuários com DM2 estudados, apresentando controle dos níveis hemoglobina A1c, PA e LDL-C, aquém do preconizado nos consensos.

Enseñando a investigar : Modas en la trastienda

Esta ponencia surge como resultado del intercambio entre docentes de diferentes áreas en el nivel superior y universitario, quienes trabajando en la enseñanza de la investigación, observamos un aspecto en común que hemos identificado como una "estrategia didáctica" y es aquella que tiende a transparentar las reglas del juego en el campo de la investigación científica. Diego Golombek, define al "paper" como "la forma de poner en común el conocimiento científico" y arriesga a afirmar que "no está exento de historias humanas, de modas, de celos y de contradicciones", plantea una posición que se aleja del paradigma positivista que considera que es posible alcanzar la neutralidad al producir conocimiento científico. Este trabajo recupera experiencias diversas que se acercan al momento de formar a los estudiantes en el oficio de la investigación, al comprender las normas, limitaciones y trampas que caracterizan la práctica investigativa. Desde los aportes conceptuales de Pierre Bourdieu y de Philippe Perrenoud, compartimos miradas respecto a cómo pensar la enseñanza de la investigación y cómo incorporar sus debates. Son parte de esta reflexión entrevistas, clases virtuales y programas de espacios curriculares que se abocan a la formación en investigación en el campo de las ciencias sociales

El Movimiento Villero Peronista : Una experiencia de radicalización

El Movimiento Villero Peronista es un espacio donde confluyeron relaciones entre villeros, jóvenes peronistas y curas villeros, cuyo análisis no debe reducirse o subordinarse a alguna de sus partes sino a desentrañar ese entramado de relaciones. Por esta razón, intentamos analizarlo como una organización compleja donde convergieron procesos de radicalización político-sociales, dentro del arco de la nueva izquierda peronista y católica, a la par que destacamos su particularidad como expresión de sectores populares que también extremaron sus prácticas y concepciones políticas durante los años 70, tan invisibilizados del relato hegemónico sobre la época. Por esta razón, este estudio aborda al Movimiento Villero Peronista como una organización política territorial de la izquierda peronista, adscribiendo a una perspectiva socio-histórica que analiza su génesis, su especificidad en tanto movimiento villero y las características de su organización político-ideológica. Por otro lado, esbozamos una perspectiva que reconoce una "identidad villera" particular sobre la cual intentamos reflexionar como hipótesis de trabajo acerca de su devenir en "una organización política" en sí misma, mediante el análisis genealógico de su organización social y participación política propia
