Efeito da silibinina sobre o fator de transcrição nuclear-kB e produção de citocinas inflamatórias por células mononucleares de gestantes portadoras de pré-eclâmpsia

Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a complication of human pregnancy characterized by hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation. Its incidence varies from 5% to 7% of pregnancies and is a major cause of morbidity and maternal and fetal mortality. This is a multisystemic disease, with focus on vascular dysfunction and is closely related to the exacerbated activation of the immune system. In addition to increased activation of monocytes and granulocytes, there is an elevated production of proinflammatory cytokines in pregnant women with PE. The nuclear transcription factor-kB (NF-kB) is present in the cells of the immune system and is responsible for transcription of genes related to inflammation. Whereas the PE is associated with intense inflammatory response, the use of substances modulating the activity of NF-kB factor could be useful in alleviating the inflammation present in these patients. Silibinin is the main component of silymarin, a polyphenolic extract obtained from fruits and seeds of Sylibum marianum with potent hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic activities. The silibinin mechanism of action includes the ability to inhibit NF-kB activation and, consequently, its migration to the nucleus. The objective of this study was to assess whether silibinin modulates the activity of NF-kB and the production of inflammatory cytokines in mononuclear cells of patients with PE. We evaluated 34 pregnant women with PE, 20 normotensive pregnant women (GN) and 15 non-pregnant women (NG). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were obtained from those groups of women and cultured in the presence or absence of silibinin (5 uM or 50 uM) and stimulated or not with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 18 h to obtain supernatant for determination of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 (IL-1β) by enzyme immunoassay (ELISA). The cells were...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Uma atividade de educação em saúde para puérperas num alojamento conjunto

The Rooming favors the permanence of the mother with the newborn, thus establishing a stronger link between the mother and baby, in addition, care assistance and guidance are essential to both through the health care team because they recognize the moments critical that their interventions are necessary to ensure the health of both. The educational lecture was an option to have the opportunity to assist, guide and answer possible questions that may arise for mothers, and also to assess the knowledge of puéperas regarding the care of babies and self care. There was participation from 40 patients. In the study methodology was developed a questionnaire containing two subjects (self-care and care for newborns) was given to patients before and after the lecture held by the author in a rooming Maternity HC de Botucatu. The results were analyzed statistically and studied by the author, allowing note that many significant results were obtained after the lecture, which we realize that the same intervention on self-care was significant in respect of: bleeding, infection in the genital tract and urinary tract, surgical dehiscence , care of the lower limbs and constipation, how to care for the newborn was the significance to the questions about the hygiene of the umbilical stump, cramps, hunger, weeping and pacifiers. In the pre-lecture questions 73.00% of 27.00% were right and wrong. Our conclusion is that the mothers have a high level of prior knowledge and educational lectures enriches their knowledge in a creative and participatory

Avaliação da qualidade da atenção ao parto nos colegiados de gestão regional Cuesta Botucatu e Vale do Jurumirim

The humanization of childbirth implies the understanding of this event as an important experience, and requires the redefinition of human relationships from the review of the assistance project, the understanding of pregnant women condition and human rights. To evaluate child birth assistance using a score that was developed by Botucatu Cuesta Regional Management and Jurumirim Valley Collegiates. This is an epidemiological, descriptive study that is inserted in the field of evaluation of services, programs or health projects. The data has been obtained by direct observation of deliveries, emphasizing the humane care. Results: Approximately one third of the women gave birth in a tertiary hospital (34.1%) and it was their first babies (33%).24.8% of the women received prenatal care in high-risk services. 67.1% of the births were normal, and 84.7% had no companions in the delivery room. In 47.1% of the cases the delivery was performed by obstetrician who used anesthesia in 44.7% and episiotomy in 48.2% of the deliveries. More than half of the newborns were attended by the pediatrician in the delivery room and had a delivery graph completed. Although the present study shows that 67.1% of the births were normal, caesarean rate can be considered excessive, as the WHO points out that c-sections above 15% are unlikely to be justifiable. It is important to emphasize that the Ministry of Health has to have a commitment with all women to promote safe motherhood, even in cases when the pregnancy involves a risk for both the mother and the fetus. It is noteworthy that the created score allowed us to assess variables related to the humanization of childbirth and only average and quite similar situations among the three services were evidenced. We hope that with this study, managers and professionals that work in this area can be subsidized in order to offer effective humane assistance and quality service in the delivery

Adesão em saúde e psicoterapia: conceituação e aplicação na enurese noturna

Existem diversos estudos sobre preditores da não adesão, mas poucos mostram estratégias efetivas para lidar com esse problema. Uma revisão da literatura sobre desistência em psicoterapia mostrou que quase metade dos pacientes que ingressam num atendimento não o concluem. A medida na psicoterapia em geral é a de não adesão, ou desistência do tratamento; no presente trabalho serão apresentados dados relativos à adesão ao tratamento da enurese com alarme de urina. A taxa de desistência em um grupo de 61 crianças e adolescentes foi levantada considerando três condições: suas famílias não compareceram aos atendimentos, não responderam ao contato telefônico ou relataram ter abandonado os procedimentos. A desistência correspondeu a 19,6% da amostra e a idade do grupo dos desistentes era significativamente inferior, quando comparada à daqueles que aderiram ao tratamento. A já demonstrada associação entre a intolerância parental e a idade do filho explica os resultados e aponta para a necessidade de trabalho educativo intenso com os pais de adolescentes portadores de enurese.

Aplicación de la especificación Data Distribution Service (DDS) al control de glucosa en pacientes diabéticos

En este trabajo se ha investigado la posibilidad de utilizar el estándar DDS (Data Distribution Service) desarrollado por el OMG (Object Management Group) para la monitorización en tiempo real del nivel de glucosa en pacientes diabéticos. Dicho estándar sigue el patrón publicador/suscriptor de modo que, en la prueba de concepto desarrollada, los sensores del punto de cuidado son publicadores de los valores de glucosa de los pacientes y diferentes supervisores se suscriben a esa información. Estos supervisores reaccionan de la forma más adecuada a los valores y la evolución del nivel de glucosa en el paciente, por ejemplo, registrando el valor de la muestra o generando una alarma. El software de intermediación que soporta la comunicación de datos sigue el estándar DDS. Esto facilita por un lado la escalabilidad e interoperatividad de la solución desarrollada y por otro la monitorización de niveles de glucosa y la activación de protocolos predefinidos en tiempo real. La investigación se enmarca dentro del proyecto intramural PERSONA del CIBER-BBN, cuyo objetivo es el diseño de herramientas de soporte a la decisión para la monitorización continua de pacientes personalizadas e integradas en una plataforma tecnológica para diabetes.

Estudio experimental sobre la efectividad y la viabilidad de distintas soluciones constructivas para reducir la concentración de gas radón en edificaciones

El trabajo de investigación desarrollado que ha dado lugar a la realización de esta Tesis, aborda la protección de los edificios frente a la entrada de gas radón y su acumulación en los espacios habitados. Dicho gas (isótopo del radón Rn-222) es un elemento radiactivo que se genera, principalmente, en terrenos con altos contenidos de radio (terrenos graníticos por ejemplo). Su alto grado de movilidad permite que penetre en los edificios a través de los materiales de cerramiento del mismo (porosidad de los materiales, fisuras, grietas y juntas) y se acumule en su interior, donde puede ser inhalado en altas concentraciones. La Organización Mundial de la Salud, califica al radón como agente cancerígeno de grado 1. Según este Organismo, el radón es la segunda causa de contracción de cáncer pulmonar detrás del tabaco. Como respuesta a esta alarma, distintos estados ya han elaborado normativas en las que se proponen soluciones para que los niveles de concentración de radón no superen los valores recomendados por los organismos internacionales responsables de la protección radiológica. En España aún no existe normativa de protección frente a este agente cancerígeno causante de numerosas muertes, y es por tal motivo evidente la necesidad de aportar documentación técnica que ayude a las administraciones nacionales y locales a desarrollar dicha normativa para ajustarse a las recomendaciones europeas e internacionales sobre los niveles que no se deben superar y que, por otro lado, ya han contemplado una gran cantidad de países. Como principal aportación de este trabajo se muestran los resultados de reducción de concentración de gas radón de distintas soluciones constructivas enfocadas a frenar la entrada de gas radón al interior de los edificios haciendo uso de técnicas y materiales habituales en el ámbito de la construcción en España. Para ello, se han estudiado las efectividades de dichas soluciones, en lo referente a su capacidad para frenar la inmisión de radón, en un prototipo de vivienda construido al efecto en un terreno con altas concentraciones de radón. Las soluciones propuestas y ensayadas han sido el resultado de una labor de optimización de los sistemas estudiados en la bibliografía con el fin de adaptar las técnicas a los sistemas constructivos habituales en España y en concreto a la situación real del prototipo de vivienda construido en un lugar con contenidos de radón en terreno muy elevados. El trabajo incluye un capítulo inicial con los conceptos básicos necesarios para entender la problemática que supone habitar en espacios con altos contenidos de radón. ABSTRACT The research developed, which has led to the completion of this thesis, deal with the protection of buildings against entry of radon gas and its accumulation in the ocupated spaces. This gas (radon isotope Rn-222) is a radioactive element generated, mainly, in areas with high levels of radio (granitic terrain for example). Its high mobility allows entering in buildings through the enclosure materials of it (porosity of materials, cracks, crevices and joints) and accumulates inside, where it can be inhaled in high concentrations. The World Health Organization describes radon gas as a carcinogen agent in level 1. According to this Agency, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind tobacco. In response to this alarm, some states have developed regulations that propose solutions to reduce radon concentration levels for not exceeding the values recommended by international agencies responsible in radiation protection. In Spain there is still no legislation to protect against this carcinogen element that cause numerous deaths, and for that reason it is evident the need to provide technical documentation to help the national and local governments to develop legislation for reaching the European and international levels recommendations. As the main contribution of this work are the results of reducing radon concentration using different constructive solutions aimed to stop radon entry in buildings, with techniques and materials common in Spain. To do this, effectiveness of such solutions, have been studied in terms of its ability to stop radon entry in a housing prototype built for this purpose in an area with high radon levels. The solutions proposed and tested have been the result of a process of optimization of systems studied in the literature in order to adapt the techniques to Spanish building material and, specifically, to the actual situation of housing prototype built in a place with high contents of radon in soil. The work includes an initial chapter with the basic concepts needed to understand the problem of living in areas with high levels of radon.

Accidentes y sistemas de seguridad en túneles

Los últimos años han sido pródigos en accidentes con fuego en túneles de tráfico, lo que ha motivado la preocupación de los organismos encargados de velar por la seguridad en el transporte así como de los usuarios en general. Ello ha dado lugar a un renovado interés por todos los aspectos relacionados con la seguridad de lo que son buena prueba las Recomendaciones del Grupo de Expertos de las Naciones Unidas sobre la seguridad en túneles carreteros, y la realización de este mismo Seminario. Como toda obra pública los túneles son infraestructuras esencialmente seguras en donde los accidentes graves son sucesos raros que, al ser inesperados y afectar a un número alto de usuarios, despiertan alarma social. En este capítulo, y en primer lugar, se hacen unos breves comentarios sobre los accidentes en túneles de carretera que han servido para llamar la atención de la profesión sobre las incógnitas subyacentes en un problema que se creía bien resuelto. A continuación se describe el proceso que ha ido elaborando el conocimiento actual mediante analogía con otras aplicaciones y ensayos específicos, lo que permitirá comentar el origen de algunas recomendaciones prácticas que se manejan actualmente. Finalmente se hace un resumen de los sistemas de seguridad activos y pasivos de uso habitual en los túneles.
