Effect of the broth microdilution assay and disk diffusion susceptibility teste usin natural products against Erwinia psidii
Eucalyptus is widely used in the forestry sector due to its favorable characteristics for timber, paper and cellulose production. Although native to Australia, the species has demonstrated good adaptation to Brazilian climatic conditions. However, the expansion of cultivated areas has favored the emergence and spread of phytopathogens. Among the most relevant diseases, tip dieback stands out, caused by the bacterium Erwinia psidii, with increasing occurrence in nurseries and commercial plantations. In this context, the development of alternative and sustainable management strategies is essential for disease prevention and control. The present study evaluated, through in vitro broth microdilution and disk-diffusion assays, the bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects of eucalyptus essential oil, neem oil, and propolis extract against E. psidii. Six bacterial strains, previously characterized by molecular techniques using specific and universal primers followed by Sanger sequencing, were employed. In vitro results demonstrated that eucalyptus essential oil exhibited bactericidal activity against the phytopathogen, with inhibition halo formation and a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 5%. The remaining products showed no detectable bactericidal activity under the conditions tested. These findings indicate that eucalyptus essential oil represents a promising alternative for the control of E. psidii under laboratory conditions, contributing to research aimed at reducing the use of synthetic pesticides and promoting the sustainability of eucalyptus forest production.

Effect of ozone gas on the microbiological and physicochemical quality of queijo coalho marketed in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil
Artisanal coalho cheese typically presents high microbiological variability due to production and marketing conditions, which may compromise food safety. Ozonation has been investigated as an alternative technology to reduce microbial load while preserving the physicochemical characteristics of the product. This study evaluated the effect of ozone gas on the chemical composition and microbiological load of coalho cheese marketed in municipal fairs in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. Thirty-six samples were collected from four markets and exposed to ozone gas at 6.0 ppm for three and six hours. Microbiological analyses followed the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture Normative Instruction No. 62, while bromatological analyses were conducted according to the Adolfo Lutz Institute. Ozonation promoted a significant reduction (p < 0.05) in Staphylococcus aureus, total coliforms, molds, and yeasts, with the 6-hour exposure showing the greatest effectiveness. No significant differences (p > 0.05) were observed in chemical composition, except for slight variation in protein levels. Ozonation at 6.0 ppm for six hours is effective for microbial reduction without altering the bromatological characteristics of artisanal coalho cheese.
THE ISSUE OF DOUBLE CRIMINAL ATTRIBUTION DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CRIMES COMMITTED BY INDIVIDUAL COMPANIES
This article analyzes the application of the dual criminal liability (double imputation) mechanism to individual enterprises and their respective owners (natural persons) in the context of environmental crimes. It begins with Law No. 14,195/2021, which repealed the Empresa Individual de Responsabilidade Limitada (EIRELI) and automatically converted it into the Sociedade Limitada Unipessoal (SLU), to discuss the appropriateness of holding both entities simultaneously criminally liable. The central question is: is it legally and ethically justifiable to apply dual penalties—to the legal entity and to the natural person—when both are essentially one and the same? To address this issue, the study examines Article 3 of Law No. 9,605/1998, the constitutional foundations of corporate criminal liability established by the 1988 Federal Constitution, and the theories of legal fiction and juridical reality concerning the nature of collective persons, as well as the current regulation of single-member limited companies. Methodologically, this study adopts a qualitative, theoretical-exploratory, and deductive approach, based on bibliographic and documentary research (legislation, doctrine, and case law), combined with normative and principled analysis—including proportionality, reasonableness, ne bis in idem, the social function of the company, and business preservation. The article concludes by proposing interpretative and legislative adjustments to harmonize environmental criminal protection with the safeguarding of small-scale business structures.

Determination of carbofuran in water samples from pay-fishing farms in itumbiara – go and its health implications
In Brazil, the intensive use of pesticides has intensified since the 1970s, with government incentives, with carbofuran being one of the most widely used compounds in agriculture. Despite its ban in 2017 by the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA), due to its high toxicity, its residues still pose a risk to public health, and can cause neurological and endocrine disorders. This study aimed to determine the presence of carbofuran residues in water samples collected from fishing establishments located in the municipality of Itumbiara, Goiás, Brazil. Analyses were performed on samples obtained from three different points in each location, using the Liquid-Liquid Extraction with Low Temperature Partitioning (LLE-LTP) technique and analysis by High Performance Liquid Chromatography with Ultraviolet detector (HPLC-UV). The water samples did not present carbofuran residues under the analytical conditions applied, or were below the detection limit. The study reinforces the importance of continuous monitoring of pesticide residues in aquatic environments, especially in regions with a history of agricultural use, as an essential public health surveillance measure.

Hospitalizations and deaths due to transient ischemic stroke and related syndromes in Brazil between 2019 and 2024
Introduction: : Stroke is characterized by focal neurological deficits of sudden onset and vascular etiology. Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) corresponds to a temporary interruption of cerebral blood flow, with transient symptoms, no permanent sequelae, and represents a risk factor for future strokes. Objective: To analyze the epidemiological profile of hospitalizations and hospital deaths due to transient ischemic stroke and related syndromes in Brazil. Methodology: Observational, descriptive, time-series epidemiological study, based on secondary data from SIH/SUS-DATASUS, collected in 2025. Hospitalizations and deaths due to transient ischemic stroke and related syndromes were analyzed in Brazil between 2019 and 2024, according to region, sex, race/color, and year, using Excel 2019 for descriptive analysis. Results: Between 2019 and 2024, 122,189 hospitalizations and 10,697 deaths due to transient ischemic stroke and related syndromes were recorded in Brazil. A predominance of males was observed, with a concentration of cases and deaths in the Southeast region. Individuals aged 60 years or older accounted for 71.4% of hospitalizations. The findings highlight an epidemiological burden, regional inequalities, and the need to strengthen prevention strategies, early diagnosis, and specialized care. Conclusion: TIA and related syndromes represent a significant public health concern in Brazil, with a greater impact among older adults and a higher concentration of cases in the Southeast and South regions. The findings highlight the need to strengthen prevention strategies, early diagnosis, timely management, and continuous follow-up, while reducing regional disparities in access to healthcare services in order to decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with cerebrovascular diseases.
Gaps between theory and practice in hemodialysis education during nursing training:
Hemodialysis is the main treatment modality in Renal Replacement Therapy, and a qualified multidisciplinary team is required to provide the necessary care to patients. Nursing professionals are key players in this process, as they are present in all phases of dialysis. Despite this, it is possible to identify in the literature that knowledge in hemodialysis is often complemented in practice, highlighting gaps in theoretical teaching. The objective of this study was to analyze the perception of nurses about the gaps in hemodialysis teaching during undergraduate courses. This is a qualitative field study carried out at the Hospital Regional Doutor Cleodon Carlos de Andrade, located in the city of Pau dos Ferros - RN, with nurses. The inclusion criterion was professionals who agreed to participate in the research, regardless of their employment relationship, specialty and sector in which they work, applying an open questionnaire created by the author. The research used Bardin's Content Analysis for an in-depth analysis of the data, following the steps of pre-analysis, exploration of the material and treatment of the results.

The Pharmacist and Syphilis: Understanding actions and care through the unified health system.
Syphilis is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum, transmitted mainly through unprotected sexual contact or during pregnancy. In Brazil, cases have increased, especially among pregnant women and newborns. Despite efforts, there are still challenges in accessing diagnosis and treatment, with lack of awareness and stigmatization making it difficult to control the disease. The SUS offers free testing and treatment, where pharmacists play a role in monitoring patients with syphilis, ensuring the correct use of medications and providing guidance. Therefore, the objective of this research is to understand the actions and pharmaceutical care in patients with syphilis within the SUS. The research identified that the standard treatment for syphilis involves the use of antibiotics, administered according to specific protocols. Incorrect use of medications can lead to bacterial resistance and serious complications. Pharmacists play a vital role in providing information about medications, monitoring side effects and promoting adherence to treatment. Treatment in Brazil follows SUS protocols, ensuring access and adequate guidance. Furthermore, this research highlights the importance of pharmaceutical care in the treatment of syphilis, highlighting the need for an integrated approach among health professionals. Correct use of medications is crucial to avoid serious complications, and pharmacists play an essential role in this process, offering support, monitoring adverse effects and promoting adherence to treatment. However, integration among health professionals is essential to ensure comprehensive care for patients.
Processamento de alimentos por associações familiares de orgânicos: estudo em Angatuba e Buri, São Paulo.
This study analyzed the characteristics of artisanal food processing carried out by family farmers from two organic producer associations located in the municipalities of Angatuba and Buri, São Paulo, Brazil. The objective was to understand the cultural and technical dimensions involved in this activity, as well as to identify the challenges and opportunities related to strengthening processing as a rural development strategy. The research was conducted through semi-structured questionnaires applied to participating families and technical visits to production units. The results indicated that artisanal food processing, although not the main productive activity of the families, plays an important role in complementing income and adding value to products that are traditionally sold in natura. Furthermore, this activity reflects traditional knowledge and cultural practices that contribute to the appreciation of family farming and local food security. However, barriers such as inadequate infrastructure and high costs for obtaining sanitary registrations were identified as recurring challenges. The study concludes that encouraging the expansion of food processing can be a promising pathway to promoting sustainable rural development, integrating economic, social, cultural, and environmental dimensions. Strengthening public policies and initiatives aimed at technical and financial support is recommended to overcome barriers and maximize the benefits of this practice for rural communities.
Anesthesia in a patient with patent ductus arteriosus
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is the most common congenital heart defect in dogs, characterized by the failure to close a channel between the pulmonary artery and the aorta, which should close after birth. This study reports the anesthetic procedure of a dog with chronic PDA. The patient, an 8-year-old female Welsh Corgi weighing 17 kg, was treated at the Ulbra Veterinary Hospital complaining of a nodule in the right humerus. During auscultation, a grade V heart murmur was identified. The Doppler echocardiogram revealed the presence of retrograde flow in the pulmonary artery, with a communication between the aorta and the pulmonary artery, in the left-to-right direction, and these findings are compatible with PDA. Morphine (0.2 mg/kg), acepromazine (0.02 mg/kg) and ketamine (1 mg/kg) were administered intramuscularly as pre-anesthetic medication. Anesthesia was induced with remifentanil (5 mcg/kg/h), followed by propofol (2 mg/kg), both intravenously (IV). The patient was maintained in the anesthetic plane through continuous infusion of propofol, and remifentanil was maintained. In addition, perinodular blockade with lidocaine (0.1 ml/kg) was performed as an analgesic combination. During surgery, the patient presented bradycardia and hypotension, and scopolamine (0.2 mg/kg IV) and fluid loading were administered for stabilization. In the immediate postoperative period, dipyrone (25 mg/kg IV) and dexamethasone (0.5 mg/kg IV) were administered. The patient remained stable and was discharged on the same day. Prior patient assessment, personalized approach, continuous monitoring, and follow-up throughout the process were essential for the success of anesthesia.

A pesquisa investiga a influência do uso e cobertura da terra nas bacias hidrográficas dos rios Jacaré-Guaçu e Pardo, considerando a segurança dos recursos hídricos e a preservação dos ecossistemas. Os dados foram obtidos de fontes secundárias e para determinar as coberturas, utilizados mapas no intervalo temporal dos anos de 1995 a 2022, da coleção 8 de cobertura do solo do MapBiomas, software QGIS 3.34 para fazer os recortes necessários e reclassificando as coberturas de solo em três variáveis: Vegetação Nativa, Rural e Urbana. Os dados fluviométricos e pluviométricos foram obtidos da base de dados do SP Águas, do estado de São Paulo, das estações com informações completas para o período de 1991 a 2022, separados em estação seca e chuvosa. Para análise estatística foi realizado o teste de tendência de Mann Kendall e de correlação de Kendall. Os resultados obtidos neste estudo, já abordado por outros autores, não permitiu concluir que o uso e cobertura da terra pudessem influenciar na vazão das sub-bacias do Jacaré-Guaçú e Rio Pardo, para um resultado mais robusto são necessários a inclusão de outras variáveis que influenciam na vazão dos rios, além de uma revisão sistemática do tema para levantar quais as melhores variáveis e assim obter resultados mais significativos.
Estrela e matriz verde em testes de solubilidade
Chemical activities have historically been seen as villains in environmental degradation and pollution processes. In view of this, Green Chemistry emerged as a movement that opposes polluting actions and seeks to develop processes and products that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of substances that are harmful to health and the environment. For this philosophy to become part of all dimensions of chemical activities, it is important to include this theme in the training of professionals in the field of Chemistry. This work seeks to address the potential of chemical greenness metrics, notably the holistic Green Matrix and Green Star, applied to solubility tests as a proposal to corroborate the inclusion of Green Chemistry in Chemistry Education. The experimental results of the Green Star and Green Matrix helped to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the experiments based on the principles of Green Chemistry, as well as to glimpse opportunities for improvements, such as the reduction and replacement of reagents that are harmful to health and the environment with greener substances, as well as highlighting the threats related to the use of volatile and toxic solvents under heating.
Conhecimento dos profissionais que atuam na Atenção Primária à Saúde sobre a assistência prestada às pessoas com lesão medular:
Health care for people with spinal cord injury in Primary Health Care (PHC) is fundamental, as it is the coordinator of care and the preferred gateway to the network. However, rehabilitation services are still allocated as the center of the Care Network for People with Disabilities. Studies that highlight the role of other points in this network and contribute to articulated health care that is sensitive to the demands of this population are important. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge of PHC professionals regarding health care provided to people with spinal cord injuries in this context, in Macaíba, Rio Grande do Norte. This is an exploratory study, with a mixed approach. A semi-structured questionnaire was used for data collection, with the participation of 20 PHC professionals from the municipality. The data underwent content analysis and the following categories emerged: 1) Network; 2) Environment; 3) Organization and Work in Health; 4) Social Support; 5) Strengthening Communication; 6) Educational Strategies. The main finding was that PHC professionals have incipient knowledge about care for these users in PHC and little understanding of the barriers and facilitators that exist in the care of people with spinal cord injuries in the territory. Weaknesses in communication between the network services were observed. It is necessary to carry out ongoing health education activities on spinal cord injuries and other structural themes related to disability, which may reflect in the qualification and adequate care for these people.
Meiotic behavior and pollen viability of local cassava varieties
Cassava has been cultivated for millennia, and cuttings are its main method of propagation. Although it can reproduce sexually, this characteristic is little studied, and understanding its reproductive biology is essential to assess the impacts of domestication. Thus, the objective of this study was to estimate the meiotic behavior and pollen grain viability of twenty local cassava varieties grown in the northern state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, in order to evaluate the reproductive potential of the different varieties. For this purpose, six months after planting, male flower buds in pre-anthesis and at different stages of development were collected from an experiment located in the municipality of Alta Floresta, Mato Grosso. In the preparation of the slides, 2% acetic orcein was used for meiotic analysis and triple Alexander reagent solution for pollen viability. The analyses were conducted at the Laboratory of Plant Genetics and Molecular Biology of Plants, Universidade do Estado de Mato Grosso. A total of 2,000 cells/pollen grains were counted per variety and the observations were made by the scanning method. The data were analyzed for normality using the Lilliefors test and, since they presented a normal distribution, were subjected to analysis of variance. The means were compared using the Scott-Knott test, at 5% probability. The analyses were performed using the Genes program. The varieties analyzed presented a high meiotic index (> 86%) and an average pollen viability rate (62%). The domestication of Manihot esculenta over generations has not compromised the reproductive potential of local varieties cultivated on the farms of family farmers in Mato Grosso. Farmers, in turn, play a crucial role as maintainers of this important genetic resource, contributing to the maintenance and conservation of cassava.
Programs and policies for food and nutritional security in Brazil
In 2022, more than half of the Brazilian population did not have regular and permanent access to sufficient quantities of quality food. In 2023, the “Brazil Without Hunger” plan was launched, highlighting the resumption of crucial past policies. The nutritionist, due to their expertise in food and nutrition practices, is considered a key professional in processes related to Food and Nutritional Security (FNS). This study aims to identify and reflect on the insertion of the nutritionist within the National Food and Nutritional Security System (SISAN). This is a narrative review with a qualitative approach and exploratory objective, organized into three topics: the first describes a brief context of the current government's direction for FNS policies and programs; the second addresses the importance of the nutritionist for the effectiveness of SISAN; and the third analyzes its main challenges and limitations. Four main areas were observed in which the professional appears for the execution of FNS actions: Nutritional Surveillance and Care; Food and Nutritional Education; Professional Training; and Integration and Intersectorality. The issues that arise based on the current context are related to the State's capacity to restructure itself and for the population to guarantee the means for its organization. For the nutritionist, guaranteeing their technical responsibility, as well as guaranteeing resources, is essential for their performance in policies and programs to correspond to the level of integrality and interdisciplinarity necessary for such activities.
Chromosomal alterations in patients treated at an Early Diagnosis and Intervention Center in the city of Araraquara- SP
Chromosomal abnormalities are considered one of the biggest causes of genetic disease. These abnormalities are classified as structural chromosomal or numerical, which may involve autosomal, sexual chromosome or both. People with chromosomal abnormalities present multisystem involvement, such alterations are responsable for hight morbidity and increased mortality at all ages therefore, it´s necessary to have a multidisciplinary approach to improve the quality of life and prevent early mortality in these patientes. Objective: To identify chromosomal abnormalities in patients referred to Centro de Diagnóstico e Intervenção Precoce (CDIP) Araraquara - SP. Methodology: A retrospective-quantitative survey was carried out of newborns diagnosed with chromosomal change referres to the CDIP in the period 1999-2015. Results: 80 patients with chromosomal change were identified, 100% of them numerical, 98,75% had abnormalities in autosomal chromosome and 1,25% in sex chromosome. Among the autosomal chromosomal abnormalities, trisomy 21 was the most prevalent, followed by trisomy 18 and trisomy 13. monosomy of the X chromosomal was the only found, involving sex chromosomal. Furthermore, it was observed that women in all age can have children with aneuploidy, especially Down Syndrome, however, mother over 35 have an increased chance of this happening. Conclusion: These results are relevant and in agreement with the literature. Furthermore, the service offered by the CDIP in te city of Araraquara- SP is of high relevance since this Center, maintained by Araraquara city hall, enable the eraly and accurate diagnosis of such changes, as wll as monitoring yhe evolution of these patientes from 0 to 3 years of age.

Using automatic tools like TAW, Accessi, and Google PageSpeed, the strengths and weaknesses of ADVPlayer were identified. The software achieved high performance and accessibility scores (above 90/100) but showed areas for improvement, such as replacing links with buttons, adjusting titles and labels, and correcting color contrast. The study emphasizes the importance of investing in technological solutions to promote digital inclusion, ensuring that everyone can fully enjoy audiovisual content.
Physical exercises in cervical mobility in adults and elderly people
Changes in cervical mobility not only affect the ability to perform simple movements, but also limit more complex functions that disable postural control and balance and generate widespread impacts. The objective of this work was to systematically review studies in the literature that address the therapeutic potential of physical exercises focusing on the mobility of the cervical spine in adults and elderly people. A systematic literature review was carried out with a bibliographic survey of texts published between 2019 and 2024 in indexed databases such as PubMed, LILACS, SciELO and with the descriptors: “Exercise AND Elderly OR Aged AND neck OR cervical vertebrae AND cervical mobility” interspersed by Boolean operator “AND” and “OR”. By defining the terms of inclusion and exclusion, eighty studies were selected, five of which met the proposal of this review. Studies suggest that physical exercise had positive effects in which pain reduction, increase in cervical range of motion, improvement in neck disability and muscular resistance were the most beneficial outcomes. There were few studies that described the effects of physical exercise on cervical mobility, one of which was associated with elderly people. This research found high variability in the methodologies, duration and intensity of the exercises studied. This limits direct comparisons and makes conclusions about the effectiveness of protocols difficult. Future studies can standardize interventions and expand samples for more robust comparisons between different types of exercise.
A study of the relationship between oropharyngeal carcinoma in men in the state of São Paulo and HPV as a risk factor
Oropharyngeal carcinoma is a type of neoplasia that affects the base of the tongue, the tonsils and the soft palate, and is associated with smoking and alcohol consumption, as well as infection by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). This study investigated the relationship between oropharyngeal carcinoma in the state of São Paulo and infection with the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) as an associated risk factor. Data from 2014 from the Population-Based Cancer Registries (RCBP) of five regions of the state were analyzed. The analysis identified 128 cases in masculine sex, with a higher incidence in the age group of 55 to 59 years, and 39 cases in women. Although statistical tests (p > 0.05) revealed no significant differences between the groups, descriptive analysis indicated a higher prevalence in men, possibly associated with an increase in the number of sexual partners and the practice of oral sex. Infection with HPV, especially types 16 and 18, was highlighted as a relevant factor in the development of this type of cancer, surpassing traditional risk factors such as smoking and alcohol consumption. Previous studies, including international investigations, also corroborate the increased incidence of cancers associated with HPV, indicating vaccination as an effective preventive strategy. Based on the findings, it is concluded that oropharyngeal cancer in men is closely related to HPV infection, reinforcing the importance of educational campaigns, public vaccination policies and awareness about safe sexual practices as measures to reduce the incidence of this neoplasm.
Amazon Caviar – Profile of fatty acids, omegas and lipid quality indeces in roes of Arapaima gigas
The study evaluated the fatty acid profile, omegas, and lipid quality indices in roes of paiche (Arapaima gigas) to determine its viability as the "Amazonian Caviar." A total of four samples were analyzed in triplicate, obtained from 20 fish with an average weight of 4.5 kg, sourced from a fish processing agroindustry in Rondônia registered with SISBI-POA. The roe was lyophilized for the analysis of dry matter, minerals, crude protein, and total lipids. Lipid extraction used 3.5 g of sample and ethanol/chloroform solvents. Minerals with daily value percentages (DV%) above 15% were considered sources, such as iron (women), calcium, and magnesium; below 15%, they were classified as rich, including iron (men), potassium, and sodium. The roe showed 2.3% omega-6, 1.75% omega-3, 1.71% omega-9, and 8.68% omega-7, along with atherogenicity (0.85%), thrombogenicity (1.90%), and h/H (0.73%) indices.
Biodiversity and seasonal occurrence of anurofauna in fishponds in Rondônia state, Brazil
The study aimed to carry out a survey of the temporal biodiversity and seasonal occurrence of anuran amphibians that live in fish farms. A total of 7 fish farms were selected and were visited in the two Amazon hydrological seasons, rainy and dry. The search for anuran amphibians was carried out by active search, during the species' nocturnal vocalization shift, between 6 and 10 pm. A total of 151 specimens were observed in the rainy season and 164 specimens in the dry season, from a total of 16 recorded species distributed in 5 families. The most abundant family was the Leptodactylidae, its most abundant species Leptodactylus petersii and Leptodactylus fuscus, which were found on embankments and in the fish ponds supply channels and in the effluent. Regarding similarity, considering the species per family, the families Leptodactylidae and Hylidae showed the most similar communities (40 and 30%, respectively). there was a strong correlation (r= 0.92) between the abundance of the Leptodactylidae family and environmental conditions of average air temperature and rainfall. While for the Hylidae and Bufonidae families the correlations were weaker (r= 0.62 and 0.44), so that as rainfall increased, the abundance of the Bufonidae family reduced. Inventorying anuran amphibian species living in fish farms is an accessible method for studying environmental quality. This study indicated that fish farms did not influence the abundance, spatial and seasonal distribution of anuran amphibian species. In other words, despite being an artificial environment, the anurans began to occupy and adapt to the new habitat.
Access, use of psychoactive substances and stigma
The National Policy for the Homeless Population, Decree No. 7,053, dated December 23, 2009, defines the homeless population as a heterogeneous group characterized by extreme poverty, weakened family ties, and the lack of conventional housing. This group uses public streets and degraded areas as living spaces, as well as temporary shelter units for overnight stays. The municipality in the current study has a Specialized Reference Center for the Homeless Population, which aims to address the medium-complexity needs of this population, with an emphasis on ensuring their social rights. The homeless population has specific health and social needs, which justifies the importance of this work. The objective was to understand the perspective of social assistance professionals regarding the health needs of the homeless population. The research was exploratory, using semi-structured interviews, which were recorded and transcribed on a mobile phone, with professionals from the Center for the homeless population who met the inclusion criteria. Through these interviews, the knowledge of the Center workers about the health needs of the homeless population was observed, and the challenges related to these needs were analyzed. The study concluded that the focus is on access to health services, adherence to treatments, substance abuse, stigma, and street-based healthcare services.
Hemotherapy is a treatment carried out through transfusion, with extensive action by the nursing team throughout the procedure. The objective of this study was to search in the literature for the main nursing care measures present in transfusion reactions. This is an integrative review of the literature, in the databases, Web of Science; National Library of Medicine, Scopus and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature and via the Virtual Health Library portal. Eight studies were selected, predominantly: Knowledge and construction of the nursing team regarding transfusion reactions; Identification of nursing knowledge through continuing education; Transfusion-associated circulatory overload and transfusion-related acute lung injury. It was concluded that the nursing team needs training on the transfusion process for quality nursing care during the transfusion reaction, with the construction of safe practices in the administration of blood components.
Growth hormone deficiency is a clinical condition resulting from decreased secretion of growth hormone (GH), which leads to several disorders, so replacement therapy has been used as a treatment for over 30 years. The aim is to understand the negative and beneficial effects of GH replacement. Methodology: In this literature review, the MEDLINE, PUBMED and SCIENCE DIRECT databases were used with the descriptors “Hormone Replacement Therapy”, “pituitary growth hormone” and “Long Term Adverse Effects”, filters were applied from the last 10 years (2014 to 2024), full and free texts, and in the end, 14 works that addressed the theme were used. Among the positive effects of using GH replacement therapy, there is an improvement in body composition, physical fitness and muscle strength, an increase in bone mineral density, lipid profile and cardiovascular inflammatory markers. On the other hand, among the adverse effects, there may be hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, risk of neoplasia, peripheral edema, and hormonal axis dysregulation. From treatment with GH, it is seen that the adverse effects differ according to the patient's profile, highlighting age, gender, and pre-existing comorbidities, and therefore, an individualized assessment of the risks and benefits must be made, while the beneficial effects that the treatment offers are indisputable, and these are independent of the particularities of each patient, with proven improvement in quality of life and reduction of complications, concluding that the benefits outweigh the possible adverse effects that the patient may develop.
Challenges of the work of Endemic Disease Control Agents in combating dengue fever
The work of Endemic Disease Control Agents involves raising awareness among the population through educational activities and implementing interventions to prevent and control arboviruses. The objective was to identify the challenges faced by Endemic Disease Control Agents in combating dengue fever in the municipality of Mato Verde, Minas Gerais. This is a descriptive, qualitative study conducted with 10 Endemic Disease Control Agents. Data were collected from August to September 2024 through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Thematic Analysis. The results indicated that professionals recognize the importance of their role in the community in preventing the proliferation of Aedes Aegypti. The lack of awareness among the population and access to closed residences during home visits represent obstacles that prevent them from inspecting properties and raising awareness among residents about preventive measures. This limitation compromises the identification of mosquito breeding sites and increases the risk of proliferation of dengue fever and other diseases. The work exposes professionals to physical, chemical, biological and accident risks due to contact with larvicides, venomous animals and accumulated garbage, since the provision of protective equipment is not always adequate. This being said, it is clear that the work of Endemic Disease Control Agents is essential for promoting health and preventing diseases, so it is essential to continue to offer regular training so that professionals can stay up to date on best practices and improve their dengue control skills.
