Presence of an oligodendroglioma-like component in newly diagnosed glioblastoma identifies a pathogenetically heterogeneous subgroup and lacks prognostic value: central pathology review of the EORTC_26981/NCIC_CE.3 trial.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a morphologically heterogeneous tumor type with a median survival of only 15 months in clinical trial populations. However, survival varies greatly among patients. As part of a central pathology review, we addressed the question if patients with GBM displaying distinct morphologic features respond differently to combined chemo-radiotherapy with temozolomide. Morphologic features were systematically recorded for 360 cases with particular focus on the presence of an oligodendroglioma-like component and respective correlations with outcome and relevant molecular markers. GBM with an oligodendroglioma-like component (GBM-O) represented 15% of all confirmed GBM (52/339) and was not associated with a more favorable outcome. GBM-O encompassed a pathogenetically heterogeneous group, significantly enriched for IDH1 mutations (19 vs. 3%, p = 0.003) and EGFR amplifications (71 vs. 48%, p = 0.04) compared with other GBM, while co-deletion of 1p/19q was found in only one case and the MGMT methylation frequency was alike (47 vs. 46%). Expression profiles classified most of the GBM-O into two subtypes, 36% (5/14 evaluable) as proneural and 43% as classical GBM. The detection of pseudo-palisading necrosis (PPN) was associated with benefit from chemotherapy (p = 0.0002), while no such effect was present in the absence of PPN (p = 0.86). In the adjusted interaction model including clinical prognostic factors and MGMT status, PPN was borderline nonsignificant (p = 0.063). Taken together, recognition of an oligodendroglioma-like component in an otherwise classic GBM identifies a pathogenetically mixed group without prognostic significance. However, the presence of PPN may indicate biological features of clinical relevance for further improvement of therapy.

Cuidados com cateter central de inserção periférica no neonato: revisão integrativa da literatura

O cateter central de inserção periférica é tecnologia comum empregada na terapia intravenosa de neonatos. Trata-se de revisão integrativa, cujo objetivo foi investigar e analisar as evidências disponíveis na literatura acerca da temática. As bases de dados pesquisadas foram Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e Biblioteca Nacional de Medicina dos Estados Unidos (PubMed). Resultados apontam lacunas no que tange à população neonatal; conhecimento insuficiente dos profissionais quanto indicações (n=1); e variados temas sobre uso de anticoagulantes (n=6), comparação com outros cateteres (n=4), diagnóstico por imagem (n=2), dor (n=2), infecção relacionada a cateter e sua prevenção (n=7), entre outros fatores. Conclui-se que há necessidade de atualização profissional, evidências científicas de fácil acesso e publicações nacionais.

Aplicativo multimídia em plataforma móvel para o ensino da mensuração da pressão venosa central

O objetivo do estudo foi desenvolver e avaliar um aplicativo multimídia em plataforma móvel para o ensino da Mensuração da Pressão Venosa Central (PVC). A pesquisa foi desenvolvida em três fases (Levantamento das necessidades; Metodologia de desenvolvimento do aplicativo multimídia e Avaliação do aplicativo multimídia). A multimídia foi o método escolhido por favorecer um ambiente motivador e dinâmico, integrar imagens e textos num aplicativo disponível para celulares, constituindo-se um meio móvel e autônomo de aprendizagem. Os resultados permitem demonstrar a viabilidade do desenvolvimento da ferramenta para subsidiar a prática pedagógica e abrem perspectivas para acreditar que, na educação em Enfermagem, a tecnologia disponível pode descortinar novos modos de aprender significativamente.
