- Conservative treatment for open pyometra with aglepristone in a
prize-winning breeding bitch of the French Bulldog breed
Authors: Nayara Fernandez Dadona, Douglas Alves Pereira, Vinícius José de Oliveira, Aurinete Calixto Fernandes de Carvalho, Nathalie Prates Sanarelli, Laura Cristina Nunes Reis, Laiz Basso Machado, Júlio Cézar Basso Machado, Leandro Willian Borges
Abstract: Pyometra is the most common infectious disease of the reproductive system in bitches. It is considered a disease of great complexity and if not diagnosed and treated in time, it can lead to the death of the bitch. The purpose of this article is to report the efficacy of conservative treatment in a bitch diagnosed with pyometra and her subsequent return to reproductive function. This is a 12-month-old female French Bulldog that presented with apathy, dehydration, hyperthermia, hyporexia, abdominalgia, and mucopurulent vulvar discharge. The presumptive diagnosis of pyometra was based on the extravasation of purulent contents through the vulva, which was confirmed by ultrasonography. The treatment initiated was based on the administration of aglepristone (Alizin® Virbac) and combinations with antibiotic therapy, antiphlogistic drugs, analgesic, and gastric protector, which proved to be effective for the clinical cure of the animal. After three years, the animal was subjected to artificial insemination and pregnancy was confirmed, with uneventful gestation and birth of two puppies. The treatment in question was considered effective because it promoted the clinical cure of the animal, the complete involution of the uterus and the return of reproductive viability.

- Prevalence of cysticercosis in carcasses of cattle slaughtered in a
slaughterhouse in the northwest region of Paraná State, Brazil
Authors: Mariana da Costa Andrade, Gilneia da Rosa, Francieli Cristina Carozi, Gabriely Amaro de Oliveira Borges, Gabriela Geraldo de Lima, Henrique Issao de Freitas Yoshii, Maria Eduarda Teixeira Rocatto, Vanessa Maria Iamamoto, Barbara Cristina Mazzucatto, Luiz Sérgio Merlini
Abstract: Bovine cysticercosis is one of the main parasitic diseases responsible for the condemnation of carcasses in slaughterhouses throughout Brazil. Considered a zoonosis, caused by the larval form of Taenia saginata (Cysticercus bovis) in bovine tissues, it has man as the only definitive host who acquires the infection by eating raw or undercooked meat containing cysticerci, whereas bovine intermediate hosts are infected by ingestion of viable eggs in pasture or water. The diagnosis of this pathology is carried out during the slaughter of the animals exclusively by the sanitary inspection service, carcasses that present exorbitant infestations are immediately condemned, moderate presence of cysticercosis lead to partial condemnation according to the recommendations of the RIISPOA in force and updated in 2017, but they depreciate the carcasses considerably, reducing the prestige and value of the product, causing significant losses to the entire production chain. Therefore, this study aimed to carry out an epidemiological survey of the occurrence of bovine cysticercosis in a slaughterhouse located in the northwest region of the State of Paraná from June 2021 to July 2022, using official data provided by the Agricultural Defense Agency of the State of Paraná (ADAPAR). The data collection was carried out through the monthly epidemiological reports made available by ADAPAR, in the evaluated period, being the observation and notification of its occurrence obtained through the post-mortem inspection carried out by qualified veterinarians, with records in nosographic maps of daily slaughter, informing the number of slaughtered animals, carcasses and organs affected with injuries and number of diseases found. The data in numbers obtained were analyzed from a simple analysis using the Excel software, comparing the number of slaughtered animals with the total number of carcasses that presented injuries and their respective percentages. A total of 11,263 cattle from the 61 municipalities that make up the northwest region of Paraná were slaughtered, a total of 50 carcasses had cysticercosis, corresponding to a prevalence of 0.44% of infection, in data per year only in the second half of 2021, 6,144 were slaughtered cattle, where 2 had cysticercosis (0.03%) already in the first half of 2022, a total of 5,119 cattle were slaughtered, where 48 carcasses had cysticercosis (0.94%). Comparing with previous reports in the same region, the prevalence rate showed a significant decline, reflecting inspection actions, quality control and adequate production management adopted by producers in the region, however, it is noteworthy that even the value found is considerably low, still shows economic damage to cattle farming in this region and it is emphasized that the sanitary measures adopted must be reviewed and strictly followed by the entire production chain.

during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Jogilmira Macedo Silva Mendes, Francisco Lotufo Neto, Maria Cecília Queiroga dos Santos, Debora de Souza Lucena, Rossana Maria da Silva Rocha, Rosa Virginia Rocha Fernandes, Mabel Osório Rodrigues, Gilvânia Smith da Nóbrega Morais, Khivia Kiss da Silva Barbosa
Abstract: Introduction: Currently, bariatric and/or metabolic surgery are widely accepted, as it is the only highly available treatment for a significant cure of obesity-associated comorbidities. Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the psychological aspects of bariatric individuals and their relationship with late weight regain during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: An exploratory and descriptive investigation was carried out, with a quantitative approach, including individuals over 18 years of age and who had experienced the postoperative period for more than 60 months. Results: there was a higher incidence of females (71.7%,) with a mean age of 40 years (±7.6) and with complete 3rd degree (78%). Regarding weight regain during the pandemic, (69.0%) reported that they had regained it. When asked about the presence of psychological disorders, 52.2% reported having had some disorder during the pandemic. Of these, the most prevalent was anxiety (51.3%), followed by binge eating (19.5%), depression (16.8%) and alcohol consumption (34.5%). Conclusion: In view of the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on weight regain after bariatric surgery, it is observed that the most affected population were women with stable family and economic income, but affected by psychological disorders that worsened as a result of the pandemic period.

- Temporal analysis of the follow-up of children with early congenital
syphilis in a philanthropic hospital in northeastern Brazil from 2010 to
2020
Authors: Laerte dos Anjos Reis, Fernanda Lays Souza Góes Santos, Izailza Matos Dantas Lopes
Abstract: Congenital syphilis (CS) is one of the most serious preventable adverse outcomes of pregnancy. The objective of this study was to carry out a descriptive temporal analysis of the follow-up of children with early CS in northeastern Brazil between 2010 and 2020. Study carried out in a Philanthropic Maternity Hospital in Aracaju SE, between 2010 and 2020 (subdivided into 2010-2014 2015-2020) through analysis of physical records of newborns (NB) with CS. In both periods, most mothers, multiparous (56.3% 92.2%), with no history of abortion (63.7% 76.5%) were adequately treated (72.2% 75.5% ) with negative VDRL (90.2% 100%). Between 2015 and 2020, there was an improvement in the level of maternal education (48.8%), prenatal care (58.4%) and adherence to partner treatment (44.1%) compared to the previous period. As for the newborns, in both periods the majority had a birth weight greater than 2500g (84.4% 90.3%), positive VDRL in peripheral blood (70.4% 76.7%) and non-reactive in the CSF ( 2.2% 2.2%); in both periods, it was also evidenced that a minority had alterations in the hearing screening (1.1% 5.4%) and fundoscopy (1.1% 0.6%), but on long bone radiography between 2010-2014, 8 .5% changed and between 2015-2020 there was an increase to 47.3%. It is concluded that the expansion and improvement of prenatal care, development and improvement of diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, have the power to make CS control an ever closer scenario.

Abstract: Objective: To describe the epidemiological profile of Alzheimer's disease in Brazil between 2013 and 2022. Methods: This is an exploratory, time-series study of epidemiological data on Alzheimer's disease in the Brazilian population. Data were obtained through the SUS Information System (DATASUS). Results: It was verified that there were 14,024 hospitalizations due to Alzheimer's Disease in Brazil between January 2013 and December 2022 and the most confirmed Brazilian region was the Southeast. In addition, it was possible to observe that the most trained age group was 80 years or older, with 8,168 cases, followed by the population aged 70 to 79 years, with 4,061 hospitalizations. With regard to sex and color, white women were the most affected. There were 152,891 deaths, most of which occurred in the southeastern region of the country. The average hospital stay rate was 22.9 days, the average hospital stay was R$ 1,754.75 and the total amount spent on Alzheimer's in the analyzed period was R$ 24,608,616.49. Conclusion: In short, it is possible to infer that Alzheimer's disease has a high incidence in Brazil, especially in the Southeast region. Female patients, white, aged 70 years or older are the most dependent. Despite being a disease of late onset in most cases, it causes damage to the quality of life of patients, as it causes impairment of higher cognitive functions, especially loss of memory of recent events.

- Selection of patients for lung transplantation: an integrative literature
review
Authors: Francisca Rafaela Pereira de Amorim Castro Rosa, Maria Jacilene de Araújo Gomes, Ana Gilca Gonzaga de Menezes, Grazielle Borges de Oliveira Resende, Iane Andrade Maciel Feldner Cunha, Sara Rosa Peixoto, Rodrigo Fernandes Rapozo Pereira Cabral
Abstract: Currently, the main indications for lung transplantation worldwide are chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, alpha-1-antitrypsin (alpha-1) deficiency, idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension, bronchiectasis, retransplantation, sarcoidosis and severe lung injury caused by COVID-19, and these candidates must demonstrate knowledge regarding the procedure, good adherence to the medical treatment performed, adequate psychosocial structure and family support. Furthermore, the proper assessment of contraindications contributes to a lower occurrence of unfavorable clinical outcomes unrelated to the graft, benefiting patients with a greater chance of success and, thus, improving overall survival with treatment. Among the absolute contraindications, lung cancer, cardiac dysfunction unrelated to lung disease, significant organic dysfunction of any other noble organ, hepatitis B and C virus infections, active pulmonary tuberculosis and severe rib cage deformity stand out. Furthermore, among the relative contraindications, there is age over 65 years, severe clinical instability, HIV infection, obesity, severe osteoporosis and decompensated systemic diseases.

- Main complications after liver transplantation: an integrative literature
review
Authors: Maria Jacilene de Araújo Gomes, Francisca Rafaela Pereira de Amorim Castro Rosa, Iane Andrade Maciel Feldner Cunha, Raquel Santos Berto de Faria
Abstract: Vascular complications remain an important cause of morbidity, mortality and post-transplantation graft loss, with hepatic artery thrombosis being the most common and its manifestations ranging from the absence of symptoms to the occurrence of septic shock secondary to fulminant hepatic gangrene. Infection is still the leading cause of death after liver transplantation, occurring in most cases within the first month after surgery. Biliary complications are also common causes of morbidity and mortality after liver transplantation, and that their high incidence rate is due to several factors, including ischemia of the biliary tract, immunosuppression, transplantation between individuals of the ABO blood group incompatible, cytomegalovirus infection and technical factors. Immediate postoperative complications may include bleeding, infection, rejection, altered biliary drainage, dehiscence, vascular thrombosis, coagulopathy, portal hypertension, fibrinolysis, hypotension, hypertension, renal dysfunction, psychological alterations, among others. Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) - non-inflammatory, often symmetrical demyelination concentrated in the center of the pons - has a low incidence in liver recipients, but a high incidence of mortality.

- Diagnosis and classification in Acute Pancreatitis
Authors: Augusto Ulhoa Florêncio de Morais , Nayá Pinto de Rezende Nobre da Silva, Noely de Carvalho Leite, Tayná Pinto de Rezende Nobre da Silva , Gabriel Lopes Rodrigues, Amábylle Emanuella Almeida de Miranda, Luiz Henrique Moraes Sampaio Araújo
Abstract: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a reversible inflammatory process of the pancreas and peripancreatic tissue, which can lead to the development of local edema, fatty necrosis and diffuse bleeding. The main etiologies of acute pancreatitis are alcoholic and biliary obstruction, followed by less common etiologies, such as hypertriglyceridemia, drugs, trauma and others. This systematic review aimed to clarify the diagnostic method of acute pancreatitis and to study the best diagnostic tools for predicting the severity of the disorder. The most used predictors of severity scores are the APACHE II and Ranson, however, the literature was uncertain as to the best marker. The diagnostic triad proposed by the Atlanta Classification is the most effective and accurate for determining the acute case, however it is limited by the need to wait 48 hours to complete the diagnosis of transient or permanent organ failure. It concludes that there is a need to develop new specific and sensitive predictors of severity for acute pancreatitis and the proper application of pre-existing tools in a timely manner for a timely diagnosis.

- Critical factors for the implementation of ISO45001 in the view of
managers of pharmaceutical companies
Authors: Eliana Sgarbi de Carvalho Potascheff, Antônio Augusto Gonçalves, José Geraldo Pereira Barbosa
Abstract: Occupational accidents and occupational diseases stand out in society because of their deleterious effect on the physical integrity of the human being, in addition to the direct and indirect costs that fall on the government and organizations. The implementation of ISO 45001 acts as a management tool with the potential to improve the organization's performance for occupational health and safety outcomes, as it reduces the risks of occupational accidents and diseases. The objective of this research was to identify the main critical factors related to the implementation of the ISO 45001 Standard in the view of its managers, in companies in the pharmaceutical sector, located in the Southeast region of Brazil. The methodological approach used was qualitative research with a multiple case study, based on semi-structured interviews. As a result, it was evidenced that the main critical factors for the implementation of ISO 45001 are directly related to the level of commitment of the company's senior management to occupational health and safety issues. Thus, the propositions resulting from the study suggest that the greater and more effective the commitment of leadership to occupational health and safety, the less complex the implementation of iso 45001 and the greater the adherence of managers and employees involved.

- Amazon 4.0: importance of soil organic matter for the maintenance of
production systems
Authors: Julio Cesar Vieira Frare, Gabriel Caixeta Martins, Silvio Ramos, Ludmila de Freitas, Ivanildo Amorim de Oliveira
Abstract: In the Amazon, the natural conditions of low fertility and high soil acidity pose major challenges for maintaining agricultural production. Under these circumstances, organic matter is essential for soil quality, influencing its physical, chemical and biological attributes. The constant supply of biomass in a forest promotes nutrient cycling, making available, in part, the nutrients needed for plant development. The same does not occur in the agricultural areas, where the removal of vegetation cover and the lack of proper management considerably affect the sustainability of the production systems. The objective of this work was, therefore, to highlight the importance of the organic matter for the conservation of soils in the Amazon, discussing the impacts of deforestation on soil quality and relevant aspects for its recovery. In order to do that, scientific articles indexed in online databases published in the last fifteen years were consulted, as well as books, dissertations, theses and technical publications. The implementation of agroforestry systems stands out as an option for the recovery of degraded areas in the Amazon, although there are several challenges for its use, such as the lack of information about which species to use in each situation. The recovery of degraded soils requires specific projects that take into account, among other aspects, the use of key species to ensure the success of this process, requiring studies to assess the performance of species best adapted to the different climate and soil conditions of the areas to be recovered.

- Among macrophytes and microplastics: diet of Crustacea Decapoda
Dilocarcinus pagei (Stimpson, 1861) and Trichodactylus petropolitanus
(Göldi, 1886) in the Pantanal region of Cáceres - MT
Authors: Cleverson Ricardo Soares Viana, Ernandes Sobreira Oliveira Junior, Milaine Fernandes dos Santos, Wilkinson Lopes Lázaro, Claudineia Lizieri, Claumir Cesar Muniz
Abstract: Crabs are abundant in the Pantanal and play a fundamental role in the trophic chain, as they are part of diet for mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians in the Pantanal ecosystems. Approximately 0.63 individuals/m² of these organisms are found in the Pantanal, distributed in 6 species, including, Dilocarcinus pagei (Stimpson, 1861) and Trichodactylus petropolitanus (Göldi, 1886). This research investigated the richness, abundance, morphology and feeding habits of crabs in the Pantanal of Cáceres, under urban and remote área influence. Samplings were carried out at the Taiamã Ecological Station (168 km from Cáceres) and on the Paraguay River incorporated into the landscape of the Cáceres city - MT. The collections were made under banks of aquatic macrophytes using a 2 m long x 1 m wide nylon screen. In all, 256 crabs were collected, 226 belonging to the D. pageispecies and 20 to the T. petropolitanus species. The two species were found associated with the macrophytes Eichhornia crassipes and Eichhornia azurea, which form dense banks of plants that provide a place of refuge for crabs in terms of shelter, food and security against predators. The sampled organisms had preference in their food base for organic matter, stalk and root of macrophyte. Additionally, microplastic and other unidentified particulate matter were found in the food content, indicating damage to the diet and morphophysiology of the crabs. Our findings contribute to elucidate the diet of crabs in the Pantanal and project the effects of pollutants, such as microplastics, on these organisms and on the aquatic trophic chain, potentially affecting human health.

- Challenges in the implementation of patient security culture in Brazil:
integrative literature review
Authors: Ingrid Soares Viana, Rosiane Barros Oliveira Del Sarto, Ismar Eduardo Martins Filho, Alba Benemérita Alves Vilela
Abstract: Patient Safety consists of a set of actions aimed at preventing errors and adverse events in health care. Thus, implementing a safety culture demands the construction of values, attitudes and norms that guide the healthcare organization. Thus, the aim is to understand what are the challenges for the implementation of a patient safety culture in health care in Brazil. The construction of the research question adopted the Population, Concept and Context strategy and to answer it, searches were conducted in the PubMed/Medline, BVS Regional and Portal Capes databases, and seven articles were selected to compose the final study sample. The lack of training of care teams, lack of notification systems, as well as management support and a punitive culture to the occurrence of errors were identified as the main barriers to the implementation of the culture of safety in health care. Thus, the importance of recognizing the barriers to the implementation of safety culture as a strategy for the creation of improvement actions in the Brazilian health services in order to ensure adequate working conditions, training and supplies to the teams is evident.

Abstract: The objective of the study was to evaluate the levels of salivary Cortisol and Alpha-amylase, relating them to the level of stress and academic performance of freshmen of the Nursing course, during the first practical evaluation of the Human Anatomy discipline. Saliva collection procedures were performed before and after the application of the practical assessment of Human Anatomy. Salivary Cortisol and alpha-amylase concentrations were evaluated by the ELISA method. The short version of the Stress Assessment Questionnaire in Nursing Students was used. Results: It was observed that the mean concentration of salivary cortisol was 0.421 ± 0.076 µg/dL and the final one was 0.572 ± 0.096 µg/dL, characterizing a significant increase of 35.8% (p<0.0001). Similar results were observed for salivary alpha-amylase concentrations (Initial: 100.70 ± 7.37 U/mL and Final: 135.64 ± 10.85 U/mL), with a significant increase of 34.7% in the concentration (p<0.0001). The evaluation index made it possible to identify three explanatory factors (behavioral, stressors and organizational). For the explanatory stressor factor, a moderate level was observed in 53% of the sample. Furthermore, a high level of stress regarding the organizational explanatory factor was observed in 80%. An average peak of cortisol of 36.5 ± 9.6% (Final - Initial %) and percentage of academic performance of 75.9 ± 16.4% were observed, which demonstrates the negative influence of the percentage of stress levels on the performance of the participants . Conclusion: Anxiety before evaluation exams generates negative results in the performance of academics.

- Obesity prevalence and associated factors in Brazilian population
Authors: Jéssica Mainardes, Erildo Vicente Muller, Camila Marinelli Martins
Abstract: Obesity is defined as a complex multifactorial disease, resulting from excess adiposity harmful to health. It is also considered a risk factor for other pathologies, especially chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The purpose of the study was to assess the prevalence of obesity and associated factors in Brazil and in Brazilian regions. Data from the 2019 National Health Survey (PNS 2019) were used. The prevalence of obesity was verified and association and risk tests were performed with sociodemographic, dietary, physical perception, health and chronic disease indicators. The prevalence of obesity in the country was 20.13%, with the highest frequencies in females and in more industrialized regions. In addition, obesity rates are as well as between diagnostic factors and worse quality of life or with the perception of chronic disease. It is concluded that it is important that they seek to verify the prevalence of obesity studies and factors are to guide public policies that impact on the increase of overweight and associated in the country.

- Monkeypox: The New Pandemic of 2022
Authors: Arthur Araújo de Souza, Geovana Borba de Albuquerque, Luanna Karina Marinho de Assis Dantas, Marvin Gonçalves Duarte, Luísa Montenegro Brayner de Moraes, Luciano Barreto Silva, Rodolfo Scavuzzi Carneiro Cunha
Abstract: This literature review addresses monkeypox, an infectious disease caused by the Monkeypox virus that belongs to the genus Orthopoxvirus and to the family Poxviridae, the same as the human smallpox virus. It had its first case registered in Congo in 1970. After almost 40 years, with no reported case, in 2017 it re-emerged in Nigeria. With the absence of mass vaccination and its transmission occurring through direct contact with people infected through close and prolonged exposure to droplets or other respiratory secretions, this virus has already originated in more than 44 countries, causing a new global pandemic. With a low mortality rate, which can reach between 3% and 6%, its symptoms are very similar to those observed in patients with smallpox, although they are clinically less severe. Thus, the present work aimed to study the characteristics and general aspects of monkeypox, in order to take measures to prevent and promote this disease.

Abstract: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurological disorder that is associated with poor brain performance. Individuals with ADHD have dyslexia, a certain impulsiveness and difficulty concentrating, resulting in poor school development. Taking into account, about 2.5 million new cases are declared per year in Brazil, whether due to real necessity or mere mediocrity of the diagnosis. Lisdexamfetamine methylphenidate is the main representative of a new class of long-acting agents for the treatment of ADHD, in current scenarios it has been the drug traditionally used as first choice for the treatment of children and adolescents with ADHD. Therefore, the general objective of this study was to analyze the effects that lisdexamfetamine dimesylate has for individuals with ADHD. In the methodology, a literature review was carried out, including studies in Portuguese and published between 2017 and 2022. Data collection took place in PubMed, LILACS, Scielo and Google Scholar databases. In the results, the safety and efficacy of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate for patients with ADHD proved to be effective and positive. In the studies found, it was understood that this drug has as its mechanism of action the blockade of the reuptake of the neurotransmitter dopamine and the stimulus to its production and noradrenaline. This action is what makes the stimulant of this medicine effective.

Abstract: Music has been an essential part of the transmission of knowledge since time immemorial, being part of the construction of knowledge and a way of transmitting it and of history itself. However, as education has gone through institutionalization processes, it has lost this important transcendental tool and is no longer used as a teaching tool. Thus, this paper presents an investigation into the use of music as a teaching-learning method. The justification for this work is the very cultural formation of the human being, always based, since the beginning, on music, dance, and conversations, which was the teaching method when knowledge was passed from generation to generation. The use of music has been presented since the Greeks as a discipline necessary for the formation of the individual, losing its important space only after the advent of public schooling and the need for practical training. The disciplines with the intention of human formation have increasingly lost their space. It is necessary to revive the importance of the use of music as an essential tool for teaching. The general objective of this work was to understand how music can be used as a teaching-learning tool in elementary school, considering the classes of natural sciences in the public school system. The methodology used was bibliographic research as a basic theoretical basis and qualitative field. The final results of this work were that the authors agree on the importance of music for the development of knowledge and especially in innovation in the transmission of knowledge, even though the biological sciences are a more precise area of knowledge, it can still have more sensitive tools for its transmission, and music is an important tool. The focus of this work was to better understand music and its use in the teaching learning process and the possibilities present today. Music is closely linked to the individual being and his formation as a subject.

- The senses and meanings of pedagogical practices in the use of music and
dance in early childhood education
Authors: Jéssica Maria dos Santos Silva, Pedro Antonio Santos do Nascimento, Osmar Rufino Braga
Abstract: The article, which is the result of a research conducted in 2020, with a school of early childhood education, located in the city of Parnaíba (PI), aims to present an analysis about the senses and meanings of the pedagogical practices, developed by educators, who work with music and dance in the school of early childhood education. The qualitative study used a methodological approach of the ethnographic type. The work is situated in the context of investigations about early childhood education, with emphasis on a theme that is linked to the thematic axis of culture, language and social interaction. The conclusions of the analysis point to the existence of conceptions and practices that focus on music and dance only as an instrument of relaxation, a form of entertainment, "ice-breaker" and artifice and not as central and strategic devices in the integral development of the child.

- Foucauldian Problematizations of telework: governmentality and
care-of-self in the experience of servers of the Judiciary
Authors: Geraldo José de Melo, Thálita Cavalcanti Menezes da Silva
Abstract: This article aims to problematize, in the light of the concepts of governmentality and care-of-self elaborated by Foucault, the effects of telework on the mental health of civil servants who exercise their profession in the modality of integral telework in a Court of Justice in the Northeast region of Brazil. This is qualitative research supported by the method of experimentation as understood in a Foucauldian perspective. In the production of data, the technique of individual interview was used, and as an instrument a sociodemographic questionnaire containing a trigger question, to give the participants, the opportunity to freely express their experiences in the home office. The results present both the (harmful) effects on mental health, such as the increase of anxiety and anguish resulting from the pressure to reach productivity goals, as well as the (positive) effects on the quality of life, such as the reduction of stress, the practice of physical activity and the expansion of family life. In this way, the study sheds light on the need for further research, in view of the global increase in the use of home office in the corporate universe.

- Freya: An educational MATLAB GUI-based tool for generalized Fourier series
Authors: Humberto Gimenes Macedo, Virginia Klausner de Oliveira, Anna Karina Fontes Gomes, Francisco Carlos Rocha Fernandes
Abstract: The Fourier analysis is a very powerful mathematical tool to decompose functions into their frequency components. Due to this, it has applications in a wide variety of fields inside the realm of science and engineering. As usual, this theory starts with a discussion about the trigonometric Fourier series, the expansion of a function in terms of sines and cosines, and then is generalized in the sense that other functions rather than the trigonometric ones can be used as an orthogonal basis, as the eigenfunctions of some specific Sturm-Liouville problems, such as Bessel functions and Legendre polynomials. In this direction, we present the so- called Freya, an educational graphical user interface (GUI) for the generalized Fourier series developed using the interactive MATLAB (MATrix Laboratory) App Designer environment. We aim to provide a user-friendly tool as a learning aid system for students to gain a comprehensive understanding of the subject as well as for teaching.

- The ethnobotany of the umbanda place of worship Luz Divina de São Jorge
in Teixeira de Freitas, Bahia, Brazil
Authors: Joyce Almeida dos Santos, Jorge Luiz Fortuna
Abstract: Addressing the relationship between plants and religions of African origin refers to the cultural value in today's society, the merger of understanding in the construction of stories and knowledge, which are transmitted through rituals and experiences in a Umbanda terreiro (a terreiro is a place of worship in Umbanda). This research aimed to analyze the ethnobotany of the Luz Divina de São Jorge terreiro. Semi-structured interviews were developed for the leaders of the terreiro, in which they used tables but also oral accounts to indicate the history of the terreiro, which plants were used in ritualistic, medicinal, culinary, mystical and energetic practices and their particularities. Thirty-nine species were described, in addition to the parts of the plants that were used and which Orixás or guides they were related to. Of the plants mentioned, 20 (51.28%) can be found in the backyard of the terreiro, while 19 (48.72%) are not in the terreiro, having to be acquired when necessary. Of the described plants, 24 (61.54%) were identified at the species level and 15 (38.46%) at the genus level. The plants can be used in: baths, blessing and attraction rituals ("passes", "firmezas"); mandalas; ritual songs; cleaning and exorcising rituals ("descarregos", "defumações", "varrimentos"). The forms of medicinal use described were: teas; roots; baths; smokings; saps; compresses and oils. The terreiro has a variety of plants both in its territory and in its ritualis. The religious knowledge in the researched terreiro is permeated with traditional and medicinal knowledge, being passed from generation to generation. Knowing and using plants is a daily task in the Umbanda routine, turning this religion also into a guardian of the vegetation and species cultivated in this environment.

- Influence of vigor, seed diameter and sowing depth on initial soybean
establishment
Authors: Aline Elias de Deus Conceição, Nívea Patrícia Ribeiro Reges, Marcos Paulo dos Santos
Abstract: Brazil is currently the largest producer of soy in the world, a crop that has a growing production volume and an important role for the country's economy. There are many factors involved in the success of this crop and this work aimed to evaluate the influence of vigor, seed diameter and sowing depth on the initial establishment of soybean plants. An experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design in a factorial arrangement (4x2x2), with four vigor ranges (70, 75, 85 and 95%), two seed sizes (sieves: 5.5 and 6.5 mm) and two seed depths. of sowing (0.03 and 0.06 m). Sowing was carried out in plastic trays filled with washed coarse sand and the experimental period lasted until the phenological stage V4. The following variables were analyzed: % of emergence, time to emergence, time to enter V4, height, volume of roots and fresh biomass: roots, shoots and the entire plant. Seed diameter did not influence the analyzed variables. The sowing at a depth of 0.06 m of seeds with 70% of vigor prevented the emergence of soybean seedlings. Seeds with vigor greater than 70% showed a higher percentage of emergence when sown at 0.03 m. Sowing at a depth of 0.06 m reduces the % of emergence, increases the time for emergence, reduces the number of days for the plants to reach the phenological phase V4 and decreases the height of the plants, the volume of roots, the total fresh biomass, shoots and roots.

Abstract: The objective of this article is to identify and analyze the consequences of a family environment with conflicts and tensions on the learning of children and adolescents, contributing to a theoretical discussion about how emotions influence students' learning processes, taking into account the contexts in which they are inserted. It is assumed that the understanding of factors and ecological environments that influence students emotionally can contribute to the reflection on the learning process. For the method, a theoretical research was used. We compiled articles from the databases of the Periodical Portal of the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes), and literature referring to the theories that deal with this subject. Parental conflict can harm the results of children, regardless of whether parents are living together or apart, and whether they are biologically related or not related to the child, or even in adoptive families, these conflicts are capable of harming learning. Thus, this paper was able to present the impacts of parental conflict, as well as understand the idea of conflict and education and how they relate to and harm the student.

- Microbiological profile evidenced in hemodialysis patients: A integrative
literature review
Authors: Leticia Gabrielle Sales do Nascimento, Clêidiane Clemente de Melo, Joelma Melo da Silva, Iran Alves da Silva, Ana Cecília Cavalcanti de Albuquerque
Abstract: Patients with kidney diseases can become immunocompromised, thus they are subject to several pathologies. In this sense, infection by microorganisms deserves attention, as they aggravate clinical cases, increase the time and cost of treatment, as well as increase morbidity and mortality. In this work, the objective is to determine the microbiological profile and the most frequent risk factors in hemodialysis patients in Brazil. For this, a integrative review, the articles were selected from the SciElo, BVS and LILACS databases, using the descriptors available in DeCS/MeSH: microorganism, microbiological profile and hemodialysis, which were crossed with the Boolean operator AND. Crossings were used hemodialysis AND microorganism; hemodialysis AND microbiological profile. Initially, a sample of 19 articles was obtained, but only 9 were included in the research. The important data that the main microorganisms that affect hemodialysis patients in Brazil were Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, viruses (HCV and HBV) and fungi of the Candida genus. In addition, the risk factors most related to microorganisms were duration of catheterization, low income, treatment time, among others. Therefore, it is necessary to invest in the awareness of patients and professionals to prevent infections by these pathogens during hemodialysis therapy.

- Analysis of hospitalization for malignant neoplasm of the bladder in
Brazil between the period 2011 to august 2022
Authors: Joaquim Fernandes de Morais Neto, Luis Miguel Carvalho Mendes, Marcio Adriano Gomes Ferreira Filho, Lucas Carvalho Mendes, Lucas Arruda Lino, Anderson Pereira da Silva, Lucas Félix Felicio Matos , João Pedro Garcia , João Pedro Brito Madeira, Ronaldo Luís Oliveira Delgado
Abstract: The malignant neoplasm of the bladder is a cancer that settles in the cells that cover the internal walls of the bladder, an organ of extreme importance in the storage of urine. About 90% of patients affected by the pathology only receive the diagnosis after 55 years of age, the age group in which this tumor is more present. To analyze the number and variables of hospitalization rates for malignant bladder cancer in Brazil. This is a quantitative and retrospective study with data collection from the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System - DATASUS. The research was carried out using information from vital statistics in the Hospital Morbidity Group of the SUS (SIH/SUS). Data available from the CID 10 for both sexes, age groups and region with the highest incidence were analyzed. During the analyzed period, 181,687 cases of hospitalization for malignant neoplasm of the bladder were found. Regarding gender, 70.71% of the cases are male and 29.29% are female. Of the age groups, hospitalizations are more prevalent between 60 and 69 years of age, with 31.71% of the total cases of hospitalization for malignant neoplasm of the bladder, with 56.76% of the Southeast region having the highest cases of notifications. Bladder tumors occur two to three times more often in men than in women, which is consistent with the high rate of hospitalizations of the male population in Brazil due to bladder cancer. It is known that the peak incidence of the disease, as it is caused by failures in the genetic material, is linked to older ages, especially after 55 years of age. This factor elucidates the prevalence of hospitalizations among the elderly. The southeastern region of Brazil, being the area with the largest absolute population, and, therefore, having a greater number of elderly people, naturally presents more than half of the cases of hospitalization in the country. It appears, therefore, that the number of hospitalizations for malignant neoplasm of the bladder is higher in males, especially in the age group between 50 and 59 years, with a marked emphasis on the southeastern region of the country.

- Development of microencapsulate containing Hamamelis virginiana L. extract
as a potential agent in derm cosmetic formulations
Authors: Marielly Silva Martins, Jenifer Ribeiro de Jesus, Alex Rodrigues Gomes, Manoel Aguiar Neto Filho, Luciana Arantes Dantas
Abstract: Due to the numerous benefits related to the Hamamelis virginiana L. extract, including its astringent and anti-inflammatory function, the plant has been extensively studied with the purpose of being increasingly used in cosmetics. Encapsulation, which is equally relevant when it comes to dermatological products, forms the perfect combination for a good beauty product with the extract. This process consists of coating a certain bioactive compound in a thin layer of polymeric material, sodium alginate, a biodegradable natural polysaccharide. In view of this, the objective was to produce microencapsulated H. virginiana using sodium alginate (encapsulant), evaluating its release profile. The microencapsules were prepared by dripping and crosslinking, subsequently subjected to the detection of phenolic compounds in a solution similar to skin acidity (pH 5.5), every 20 min for 120 minutes. In addition to the encapsulation process, the microencapsules were evaluated in terms of size and degree of imbibition. It was possible to obtain microencapsules (± 5mm) doped with H. virginiana extract in a ratio (1:4), satisfactorily allowing the immobilization of phenolic compounds, without pores, which would compromise their stability. The maximum release profile of the compounds (71.75 mg. L-1) occurred after 40 min, reaching imbibition stability after 60 min. The microencapsules produced have potential programmed release capacity for the incorporation of cosmetic formulations with tonic and antioxidant applications, resulting in an improvement in the appearance of the skin and thus inhibiting the aging process. The proposition makes room for the imprisonment of different bioactives capable of binding to other elements of biological interest.

- POST-COVID-19: Persistent symptoms and relationship to the level of
fatigue
Authors: Luciana Sanae Ota, Ayuri Pinotti Nakamatsu, Érica Oliveira Alves, Giovanna Galvão Pocay Fré, Iara Buriola Trevisan
Abstract: Persistent post-COVID-19 symptoms appear similar to other post-infectious fatigue syndromes, particularly when persistent beyond six months. Therefore, the aim of the study was to evaluate persistent symptoms and their relationship with the level of fatigue, especially above six months post-COVID-19. The individuals were invited by social networks and the questionnaire was made available through an online link using the Google Forms platform. The informed consent was made available on the first page of the form and then the individuals answered the questionnaire on persistent symptoms and level of fatigue using the FACIT-F scale. The Mann Whitney test was used to compare FACIT-F scores between individuals with and without post-COVID-19 symptoms for both the total group and those who continued to have symptoms after 6 months of COVID-19. After data collection, it was observed that the most reported symptoms were: hair loss (43%), forgetfulness/memory loss (30.6%), sweating (23.8%), muscle weakness (21.2% ), dyspnea (20.2%), headache (16.6%), trouble sleeping (15%), confusion or lack of concentration (14%), dry cough (12.4%), pain or swelling in the joints (11.9%), changes in smell and taste (11.9%), persistent muscle pain and palpitations (11.4%). The level of fatigue was higher for those with symptoms. Thus, it is concluded that there was heterogeneity in the prevalence of symptoms, but those with symptoms showed a higher level of fatigue, especially after six months post-COVID-19.

- Epidemiological analysis and assessment of the demand for
pharmacotherapeutic monitoring of patients with thyroid cancer undergoing
thyroidectomy
Authors: Heloysa Aurélio Silva, Fernanda Alves França , Maria Luiza de Oliveira Ferreira, Hugo Carvalho Barros Gonçalves
Abstract: Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine neoplasm in the world, with studies that have shown overdiagnosis and a real increase in advanced stages, where treatment can bring some complications to the patient. The aim of the study was to describe the epidemiological profile and assess, based on complications such as hypocalcemia, the need for pharmacotherapeutic follow-up. A retrospective observational study was carried out that evaluated the medical records, prescriptions and laboratory tests of 35 patients who underwent thyroidectomy for neoplasms in the first half of 2020. There was a prevalence of the diagnosis in females of 88.6%. The average age was 49.8 years; 60% of patients had comorbidities; the most prevalent histopathological diagnosis of thyroid cancer was papillary carcinoma with 62.1%; and, after the surgical approach, serum calcium was measured in the first 24 hours, with a rate of 48.5% of patients without an electronic medical record requesting exams. Most patients were discharged with a prescription of calcium (94%) and calcitriol (68%) for replacement, and 68.5% had outpatient medical follow-up. It is essential to evaluate the correct dosages of calcium and calcitriol due to hypokalemia, and a suggestion to the service is pharmacotherapeutic follow-up by the pharmacist to assess adherence to treatment and guidance on the correct use of medications.

- Febrile neutropenia in cancer patients: a literature review
Authors: Luana Medeiros Limberger, Jair Alves Bonfim Filho
Abstract: Introduction: Febrile neutropenia is currently a frequently observed condition in the oncology therapy setting. This complication is associated with the use of chemotherapy. Objective: to contribute to the continuous reduction of mortality associated with this condition, through an approach focused on risk stratification and early broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy. Method: A narrative literature review was performed using the Pubmed, Scielo and UptoDate databases. For the search, the descriptors were used: "Febrile Neutropenia"; "Neutropenia in cancer patients"; "Post chemotherapy fever" and "Febrile post chemotherapy neutropenia". The guiding question was: “What risk stratification and treatment are most appropriate for cancer patients with febrile neutropenia'”. Articles between the years 2010 to 2023 were selected. Articles that did not respond to the guiding question were excluded. 237 articles were found, of which 34 matched the pre-established criteria. Results and Discussion: Fever is commonly reported in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. In most cases the infectious focus is not found. Individuals with febrile neutropenia are classified according to the severity of the clinical condition, intensity of neutropenia and according to the chemotherapy regimen used. Early recognition and initiation of empirical antibiotic therapy are essential for a good prognosis. It is concluded that adequate risk stratification, diagnosis and therapy in a short period of time lead to a reduction in mortality.

- Interdisciplinarity in the academic environment: between theories and
practices
Authors: Gisele Vidal Ferreira, Diomark Pereira de Araújo, Maria Antônia Vidal Ferreira
Abstract: This article aimed to reflect on interdisciplinarity in the academic environment, making references to the converging and divergent conceptions of the term, given the complexity of understanding, but also the possibility to carry out a differentiated work in the classroom from the theories proposed in this fundamental part of this research. In this sense, it is understood that through this alternative work, the teacher will be able to encourage students to conceive knowledge from different angles from those proposed only in a single scientific knowledge. To understand the proposed theme, a qualitative methodology was used to describe theories that approached interdisciplinarity in the academic environment and its importance for the development of student learning in the school environment. Therefore, analyzes of books, internet research and scientific articles were carried out to really understand how school work has been carried out through interdisciplinarity. In this view, it was observed that interdisciplinarity has contributed to the development of students in the school environment, expanding their learning repertoire, and thus, enabling new knowledge. In addition, the teacher is fundamental so that this teaching practice can be successfully carried out in the classroom, since he is the mediator of knowledge, of conflicts, he is, therefore, the one who works with the pedagogical and scientific part in the classroom. of class. However, it should be remembered that the difficulties in understanding the interdisciplinary process will exist, however, from a work that glimpses the autonomy of students in the classroom and encourages them to deepen their knowledge about the proposed theme, it will not be difficult to understanding, which will contribute to the learning of new knowledge. Thus, the elaboration of this article does not exhaust the dissected theme, but will contribute to the collection that already exists on the proposed subject, which will allow a review of the proposed design.

Abstract: To analyze and describe the viscosity and the stress in relation to the shear rate of eleven facial fillers of four commercial HA brands with authorized use in Brazil through the flow sweep rheological analysis method. The rheological parameter of viscosity (η) was analyzed by rheometry tests through flow sweep. The behavior of shear stress showed that Rennova Fill Lido® and Lift Lido® have higher viscosity ratios (ƞ = 336 Pa.s and ƞ = 406 Pa.s, respectively). In contrast, Hialurox® brand fillers showed the lowest viscosity value (ƞ) (Hialurox Ultra Soft 8 mg/g® ƞ= 9 Pa.s, Fine 16 mg/g ƞ= 29 Pa.s, Fill 24 mg/g ƞ= 36 Pa.s, Lift 26 mg/g ƞ= 50 Pa.s). The flow sweep showed variations in the viscosity (ƞ) of the eleven HA dermal fillers. Rennova Fill Lido® and Lift Lido® have a lower degree of spreadability and are less susceptible to shear forces and yield strength, making them ideal candidates for the intended treatment.

Duplicate works, without a defined diagnosis, dealing exclusively with neoplasms or with animal experiments were excluded. Totaling a selection of 47 articles. Results and Discussion: Encephalitis due to anti-NMDA antibodies has an incidence of about 0.85 cases per million children from the second to the tenth year of life. Classically, they have prodromes such as fever, diarrhea or respiratory symptoms and after acute or subacute presentation of psychiatric symptoms, seizures, cognitive impairment, lowered level of consciousness and autonomic dysfunction. The diagnosis is based on clinical criteria and laboratory tests. Initial treatment consists of the use of acyclovir, due to the fact that herpes simplex infection is the most common viral etiology in the pediatric population, followed by corticosteroid therapy and/or immunoglobulin. It has a favorable prognosis when therapeutic measures are started early. Conclusion: New studies elucidating the pathophysiology related to anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis caused by the Epstein-Bar virus and COVID-19 are needed. With a variable clinical presentation, this pathology presents itself as a diagnostic challenge.

never block: a literature review
Authors: Rafael Pedro da Silva Marinho, Nádia Marisa Sotério de Oliveira
Abstract: Objective: to investigate in the literature the effects of the association of dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine adjuvants in peripheral nerve blocks with local anesthetics. Method: This is a systematic literature review, through the search in the databases, namely: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System online (MEDLINE/PubMed), Latin American Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO). Data collection took place from September to November 2022. The inclusion criteria were: randomized, retrospective, prospective, cross-sectional and case report studies, without distinction of gender or race, which used dexamethasone or dexmedetomidine or both for blockade of the peripheral nerves and published in the last 10 years (2012-2022). Regarding the exclusion criteria were: the use of other substances that are not characterized as anesthetics or vasoconstrictors; memorials, editorial letters, reviews, research with individuals who had comorbidities, such as peripheral vascular disease, allergy to local anesthetics, pregnant women, history of cardiovascular or liver disease, and studies with more than 10 years of publication. Results: 532 relevant studies were identified from the searched databases, of which 329 were excluded after checking the titles, and 203 of the remaining articles were analyzed based on the title and its compatibility with the inclusion and exclusion criteria. These had their abstracts read, 09 of which were selected for full-text evaluation for eligibility and subsequently included in the qualitative analysis. Conclusion: The review demonstrated that dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine are good adjuvants when used in peripheral nerve blocks, increasing the duration of analgesia, but with some differences in effects.

Authors: Even Herlany Pereira Alves, Hélio Mateus Silva Nascimento, Odnir Silva Monteiro, Nikaely Brandão Barbosa, Denise Mayara Silva de Melo, Tereza Cristina de Carvalho Souza Garcês, Ivã Sales Magalhães, Artur Alexandre de Oliveira, Janyere Alexandrino de Sousa
Abstract: Objective: The study aims to analyze the literature on collagen production in facial rejuvenation using platelet-rich plasma, analyzing which studies are already present in the literature and how this new method is approached by them. Methodology: The research is a integrative literature review, through a search in PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct and MEDLINE databases, using the descriptors associated with Boolean operators: “((Facial rejuvenation) AND (Platelet-rich plasma)) AND (Platelet-derived growth factor)", in the period of April 2022. Results: The search returned primary and secondary articles, a total of 91 articles were found that were later analyzed and only 10 associated with the theme of this review were included. Final considerations: Platelet-rich plasma plays a positive role in tissue regeneration, with high level of platelets and growth factors. As well as its application in aesthetics, there has been increasing data in recent years, but the small number of randomized clinical trials limits the clarification of the technical application and the development of new studies, as they do not present standardization in their methods.

- Social work at Maternidade Divino Amor Hospital: considerations on a
possibility of working with postpartum women
Authors: Diego Freitas da Silva, Jeniffer Andrade da Fonseca, Rita de Cássia Pontes da Silva
Abstract: This article aims to contribute to the theoretical accumulation of Social Work regarding the professional work based on the experience of three students in their experience in the mandatory supervised internship in Social Work I and II with a focus on the intervention project developed. It consists of a descriptive study, with a qualitative bias, in the form of an experience report referring to the experience in relation to the mandatory supervised internship in Social Work, dated from March to December 2022, in which the students were allocated at the Maternidade Divino Amor Hospital, located in Parnamirim/RN, working 12 hours a week. In view of the observations made during the first semester of activities, the students chose as the theme of the intervention project the fight against female overestimation in the exercise of parental responsibilities. To objectify it, the postpartum women from two sectors of the establishment were approached, individually, with the purpose of discussing the female overload in the exercise of parenthood as well as the paternal and state responsibility in the development process of children and adolescents. In addition, some children's rights and information about how to access them through articulation with public bodies available in the city of Parnamirim were listed. Based on the experience, the undergraduates had the opportunity to try out a kind of professional intervention in order to show an example of the potential contribution that Social Work can offer in the direct care of puerperal women in a health establishment.

Abstract: Engineering has a relevant theoretical and practical role in the social context. However, as far as the training of new professionals is concerned, the insufficiency and high dropout rates of engineering courses in Brazil, especially Civil Engineering, have been noted. In view of these factors, several studies and projects have arisen in order to provide opportunities for actions that minimize the consequences generated by the problem. This is the case of this work, which is the result of an extension project entitled "DespertEng: Awakening to Civil Engineering". This study is an experience report of the extension action of the DespertEng project, which aims to present didactic subsidies for actions to combat the civil engineering evasion process of the IFPB - Campus Patos. The actions occurred in four public institutions that are partners of the project, namely: ECIT Francisco De Sa Cavalcante (Paulista - PB); ECIT Sebastião Guedes da Silva (Teixeira - PB); ECIT Lynaldo Cavalcanti de Albuquerque (Patos - PB); Maria de Lourdes Meira (São José do Bonfim - PB). The results of the extension actions pointed out that strategies to strengthen the permanence process of the engineering courses and eventual student incentives would be focused on didactic actions and direct interconnection of the students with the course. Thus, at the end of the project activities, a large number of students were reached by the extension actions and it was evident that practical activities of interconnection of professions with future freshmen bring the professional choice closer to the demands of the course.

- Monitoring simulation in earthworks through remote sensing
Authors: Gustavo Araújo Vasconcelos, Francisco Kelson Pereira Alves, Beatriz Fernandes Macário Sousa, Rogeane Morais Ribeiro, José Leandro Gomes, Francisco Roger Freire Carvalho, Dionísio Pereira Lima Filho
Abstract: The objective of the study is to implement a remote monitoring tool for earthworks through the Arduino platform and cloud storage. As for methodological procedures, data collection in an earthworks work is still a great difficulty, requiring a number of people and equipment, where all this information is done in many cases manually. This work presents a way to systematize this whole process, collecting data automatically, using the concept of Internet of Things. To make it a reality, prototypes were built, with sensors that can be installed in earthmoving equipment, where they are connected via Wi-Fi, generating important information for a database. The results indicate that the data collected by the RFID sensor, sent to the database via radio communication, were satisfactory, thus being able to adapt it to any equipment to be monitored. It is expected that the techniques developed in this research will be relevant in real-scale use in earthworks.

- Carbon stock in densimetric fractions of soil organic matter in different
land use systems in Eastern Amazonia
Authors: Alcione Santos de Souza, Luis de Souza Freitas, Jessivaldo Rodrigues Galvão
Abstract: Studies have demonstrated that certain compartments of SOM are capable of detecting transformations in soil C contents with management, that is, with or without burning, but are able to detect, more quickly, observed reductions are generally greater than the observed, thus considering the total C content of the soil. The study was carried out in the eastern Amazon, Northeast of Pará, in Igarapé-Açu, yellow Latosol soil, in experimental areas of the communities of Cumaru, Nova Olinda (in properties of small rural producers) and UFRA-FEIGA. The use systems consist of 06 (six) treatments, which are: T1 CC (Cumaru Capoeira), T2 CSQT (Cumaru without comminuted burning), T3 CQ (Cumaru burning), T4 UFC (UFRA Capoeira), T5 UFSQT burned), T6UFQ (UFRA burning). As well as, some SAFs. Soils were sampled at depths of 0-5 cm, 5-10 cm and 10-20 cm. The densitometric fractions were separated for the determination of carbon contents by combustion in the LECO CHN-S TRUSTEC elemental analyzer. The variables were submitted to analysis of variance, compared with the SNK test with the SISVAR statistical program. The fraction that stored carbon was the free light in the systems where there was no burning, with its sensitivity of the soil management system, where there was a greater stirring of this fraction if it was less present. The light, free fraction concentrated by storing more carbon than the occluded fraction in function of its different mechanisms and chemical composition.

Authors: Jéssica Layane Oliveira Fontes, Tainah Santos Reis, Denise Aguiar Dias, Breno Fontes Fonseca, Izabelly Lima Correa, Danielle Domingos Duarte, Luana Souza Oliveira, Juliana Teixeira dos Santos, Laura Alexandre Esposito, Roseane Nunes de Santana Campos
Abstract: Progressive Hemorrhagic Myelomalacia (HpM) is a disease caused by a spinal cord injury that leads to necrosis of the affected spinal cord area, can occur focally or ascending and descending. After the injury, neurological clinical signs are observed in the animals and the progression of the disease is rapid. All dog breeds may present with MHP, however, shih-tzu and poodle are currently the most prevalent. For diagnosis, a clinical and neurological evaluation is required, in addition to specific complementary tests such as magnetic resonance imaging. There is still no clinical treatment protocol for the disease, and one of the alternatives is surgical treatment or euthanasia, when a severity occurs in clinical signs, the prognosis of HPM, in general, is poor. The objective of this work was to report the case of a shih-tzu dog, which after MHP was treated with surgical stabilization. Right after the surgical procedure, the animal presented a stable clinical picture, normodipsia and normophagia.

Abstract: COVID-19 has brought numerous challenges for the dairy industry. This research aimed to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Brazilian dairy cattle farming. The study was conducted from December 2020 to February 2021 via Google Forms® platform. Data obtained were tabulated and evaluated using descriptive and multivariate analysis, Shapiro-Wilk, Kruskall-Wallis, Variance Analysis (ANOVA), and Dunn’s post-hoc comparison. The study was approved by the Committee for Ethics in Research with Human. In total, 73 viable responses were obtained, with participations from the Brazilian regions Midwest, Northeast, South, and Southeast. Among the biosecurity measures adopted during the study, 86% of farm employees began to sanitize their hands more often to prevent the transmission of COVID-19. Use of masks during work was required all the time during work by employees in 17 properties (23%), although the use of masks was not required in 40 (55%) farms and 16 properties required them during part of the work (22%). Regarding milk production, 99% of the respondents had no problems with milk collection and more than half of the producers had difficulties in acquiring animals. Moreover, thirty-seven percent of the interviewees said they were unaware of how the virus was transmitted. Regarding the size of the dairy farms, small farms were more likely to have no veterinary medical care. The pandemic brought positive and negative impacts to dairy properties, which was influenced by the number of animals, the presence of veterinary care, and average daily milk production.

Abstract: An impacted tooth is completely or partially covered by mucosa and bone for more than 2 years after the physiological eruption time. Impacted teeth are a common dental abnormality seen clinically, although the prevalence varies from location to location and from tooth to tooth. Third molars are the most prevalent impacted teeth, followed by upper canine teeth. In this context, this article aimed to review the literature on the evaluation and management of included elements in adolescent patients. For the construction of this article, a bibliographical survey was carried out in the databases SciVerse Scopus, Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), U.S. National Library of Medicine (PUBMED) and ScienceDirect, with the help of the Mendeley reference manager. The articles were contemplated between the years 2000 to 2022. Proper management of impacted teeth is a useful tool for the dentist. Proper classification and terminology can aid communication and allow the practitioner to anticipate more difficult cases. The indications and benefits of extracting impacted teeth prophylactically outweigh the potential complications. The arsenal of instruments and the appropriate surgical technique guarantee the success of the professional and help to improve the patient's results.

Authors: Luís Eduardo Lima Santos, Aline Xavier Ferreira , Maria Gabriele Rodrigues dos Santos, Maria Vitória Lacerda, Kátia Magaly Pires Ricarte
Abstract: Objective: The objective of the work was to correlate the level of motricity with the quality of life of children in the pandemic. Methodology: A cross-sectional, quantitative, descriptive and exploratory study was carried out, comprising a final sample of 75 schoolchildren, aged between 9 and 10 years, enrolled in public schools. The children answered a questionnaire about their sociodemographic and school profile in the pandemic. The assessment of motor performance took place through the EDM of Rosa Neto (2002), while the subjective perception of quality of life of the students through the AUQEI questionnaire. Results: The vast majority of students had a satisfactory level of quality of life (76%). When analyzing the domains separately, it was found that the item “autonomy” of those evaluated has a prevalence (92%) of students who showed dissatisfaction. It was noticed that the vast majority proved to be within the normal range for motor development levels (62.7%) and when associated with quality of life, no significant difference was confirmed (p<0.001) between the variables. However, it was observed that 33.3% of those evaluated who had a motor development classified as inferior, presented an unsatisfactory level regarding the subjective analysis of their quality of life and although 25% of the children who remained in the remote teaching and 37, 5% who remained in hybrid teaching had a deficit in motor age. Conclusion: It was concluded that there was no significant association between the variables of motor development and quality of life. However, the domain “autonomy” is visibly affected.

life of patients registered in a hearing health program
Authors: Thiago Torres Nobre, Luisa Correa Janau, Edson Rodrigues Garcia Filho, Fernanda de Queiroz Moura Araújo, Jussandra Cardoso Rodrigues
Abstract: Hearing loss is a public health problem, which affects approximately 40% of people aged 55-74 years. The main clinical management intervention is hearing aids, however, many people do not use them. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of Individual Personal Sound Amplification device on the quality of life of patients enrolled in the Hearing Health Program at the Hospital Universitário Bettina Ferro de Souza (HUBFS). It is an analytical-descriptive, cross-sectional study. It was carried out at the HUBFS, from August to October 2022. Sociodemographic information was collected from the patients. An adaptation of the self-assessment questionnaire for hearing aids, the International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids (IOA-HA), was used. The sample consisted of 59 patients, 55.9% female, aged between 7 and 97 years. About 39.0% had completed high school. Most participants said they used the device for more than 8 hours a day. Overall, the evaluation of the IOA-HA questionnaire showed a range of 75.7% and mean of 3.8 (*p < 0.0001) in the patient's quality of life. And 69.5% were classified with Upper Low income. It is concluded that there is a compromise on the part of the patient regarding the use of hearing aids. Adherence to the use of hearing aids reflects the self-recognition of hearing loss and the need to use technology for rehabilitation. However, there is a need to propose user empowerment strategies regarding their relationship with the hearing aid.

Abstract: Ischemic stroke is characterized by the World Health Organization (WHO) by a set of factors: abrupt development of focal signs, in reversible or global cases, the dysfunction must last for more than 24 hours (less than that, this is a transient ischemic attack). Given the epidemiological importance of stroke, this article aims to discuss the pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease. This study is a narrative review with the purpose of discussing and describing stroke and its pathophysiology, as well as demonstrating how this syndrome affects the personal lives of affected individuals. The following databases were used: SciElo (Scientific Electronic Library Online) and PubMed (US National Library of Medicine), with scientific data from December 2, 2022, with no language restriction and no restriction on the year of publication. As the nervous system commands the main functions of the human body, it needs oxygen in abundance and for this to occur, it has a large-scale circulatory system through the arterial branches, which supply blood. Those that originate from the corticality and the basal nuclei extend into a myriad of capillaries that interpose and anastomose successively, ensuring a complete collateral circulation. Anatomically, they are not terminal arteries and, functionally, they are close (in the sense that they allow infarcts) when other risk factors are placed before them. In short, the pathophysiology of stroke establishes a great relationship between the arteries suffered by the infarction and the clinical picture of the patient affected by the disease.

Where it aims to describe the main characteristics of CS, focusing on its primary and secondary symptoms, forms of diagnosis and difficulty that individuals have to achieve a good quality of life. About the individual, as well as ways of caring and advising on his life. For this purpose, the following databases were used: PUBMED (National Library of Medicine), Springerlink and BVS (Virtual Health Library). The time cut for the search for articles was from 2012 to 2022, until the end of the search, 76 articles were found, making a careful analysis of the findings, 18 bibliographies were used to compose the entire work, with the results emphasizing the importance of explaining the care processes and counseling. Due to this, it is possible to conclude that the person with CHARGE will always have difficulties during his life, but it can be alleviated with the help and support of specialized teams for this support. In addition to the most important thing is the active participation of the family.

- Restrictive diets on Type 2 Diabetes: remission and glycemic control
Authors: Luiz Gabriel Gonçalves Cherain, Izadora Pires de Oliveira, Juliana Reis Silva, Andréa Couto Oliveira, Melanie Massote, Gabriel Henrique Carneiro Junqueira, Felipe Megda Leonardo, Guilherme Acedo Zago de Oliveira, Giovani Caiolli Noel Scapin Santos, Carollayne Mendonça Rocha
Abstract: Introduction: Although lifestyle modifications are universally recognized as the first-line treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), adequate glycemic control is difficult to achieve in most obese patients. Medications help control the symptoms of diabetes but cannot prevent disease progression. The aim of this study is to elucidate the role of restrictive diets in glycemic control and remission of type 2 diabetes. Methodology: This is an integrative review, in which the guiding question was "Does calorie restriction allow remission and improvement of glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus' The search for articles was performed in the main databases (PubMed, Scielo, and Google Scholar) using the terms "calorie restriction" and "type 2 diabetes" combined with Boolean operators. Results and discussion: There are several ways of nutritional intervention, with or without the addition of drugs, which may lead to improved glycemic control and even remission of T2DM. The superiority of carbohydrate restriction over calorie-restricted diets remains controversial, with studies showing benefits in both types of intervention. Intermittent periods of dieting have also been shown to be beneficial. Conclusion: Therefore, restrictive diets are effective in glycemic control and are able to lead to remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the medium to long term. Further studies should be done to clarify the best dietary change for this type of patient.

Abstract: Objective: To synthesize through review of research conducted on nursing care to patients with Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), along with a systematized assistance. Method: A systematic literature review study was carried out, which provided a synthesis of knowledge and an approach to nursing care for patients with GBS. For the search of the publications used the following databases: The Virtual Health Library (BVS), Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Google Academic, PUBMED and MEDLINE, filtered through the following descriptors in health sciences (DeCS): 'Guillain-Barré Syndrome', 'Nursing care', 'Treatment' and 'Rehabilitation'. The inclusion criteria used were: publications that matched the proposed theme, associated with the Portuguese and English languages, delimited between the years 2007 and 2022. The exclusion criteria used were to exclude duplicate publications, articles that did not fit the theme proposed, reviews, abstracts, graduation papers, dissertations, theses, and annals. Results: It was found 9 publications that fit the eligibility criteria and were used for the discussion process based and developed through the main nursing care to GBS carriers, using the systematization of nursing care (SAE). Conclusion: This research sought to answer the importance of nursing care provided to the patient with GBS done in a systematized way. The SAE proposes an optimal communication between the multidisciplinary health team which facilitates the recovery of the GBS patient.

- Brazil’s Foreign Policy, the Environmental Agenda, and the
Agribusiness Storylines
Authors: Bruna Eloy de Amorim, Drielli Peyerl, Edmilson Moutinho dos Santos
Abstract: This paper examines the agribusiness influence on Brazilian politics and how it has affected the country’s foreign policy agenda. The method used is discourse analysis. More specifically, we rely on Maarten Hajer’s concept of storylines, developed in his influential book The Politics of Environmental Discourse (1995). The purpose is to analyze how ruralist storylines, reshaped by the agribusiness lobby, has portrayed the Brazilian reality and how they were able to forge consensus about its controversial practices and questionable results. By uncovering how their discursive strategy was produced, we aim to verify which facts and arguments have selectively been exposed, and which ones have been excluded, or even shown in a distorted way. The main results show how these entrenched storylines have molded Brazil’s foreign policy.

- Socio-affective relatives: legal consequences in the scope of brazilian
succession law
Authors: Nicolli Cristine Chagas
Abstract: This article seeks to highlight questions about affective kinship inaugurated in the country's legislation by the 1988 Constitution through the principle of human dignity and addressed more specifically in the Civil Code of 2002, which expressly mentions the possibility of kinship of civil origin. The historical content of the family will be discussed so that there is an understanding of the evolutions suffered by the institution in the Brazilian legal system, as well as an analysis using doctrine and jurisprudence as a research methodology, evidencing judgments of the Supreme Court of Justice on the subject, of the Court of Justice of Santa Catarina and Court of Justice of Rio Grande do Sul. It also seeks to analyze the position of the Federal Supreme Court in the judgment of appeal 898060. The theme problem deals with the legal consequences that come from the recognition of this type of kinship. The objective is to help in understanding the way in which the theme was primarily received in the Brazilian legal system, such as the requirements that both the majority doctrine and the aforementioned courts enshrined as necessary for the recognition of socio-affective kinship and the inheritance rights that arise from it. It should be noted that this article does not intend to deepen the study of the subject.

- Analysis of socioeconomic impacts due to the installation and operation of
photovoltaic energy projects: review and analysis of interest level
through a cognitive intelligence algorithm applied to TREND DAT
Authors: Marcos Guedes do Nascimento, Bruno César Bezerra Nóbrega de Souza, Raimundo Aprígio de Menezes Júnior, Renan Aversari Câmara, Amanda Cristiane Gonçalves Fernandes, Sérgio Costa de Mello
Abstract: The photovoltaic energy sector has grown significantly in recent years as an alternative to clean energy production, but the implementation and operation of this energy matrix generate positive and negative socioeconomic impact. This article aims to analyze, through a cognitive and statistical intelligence algorithm, the degree of interest of people regarding the descriptors that portray the relevant socioeconomic implications associated with the installation of solar plants and the production of solar energy. To this end, as a methodological procedure, two data search processes were used, both carried out through the Cafe tool of the CAPES platform. Through this search, the impacts were listed and five descriptors capable of synthesizing them were defined. Then, a cognitive intelligence algorithm was used to analyze the levels of interest, considering data from January 2010 to January 2020, extracted from TREND DATA databases, defining a score from 0 to 100 to classify certain descriptor in a certain period of time. The results were presented in two graphs, the first being a graph that shows the monthly rates of interest in the descriptors, and the second showing the average monthly level of interest for each descriptor. It is concluded that the most cited descriptors in disclosures of the digital media considered were the increase in job creation, the promotion of development and infrastructure and the increase in economic growth. On the other hand, the least cited by these disclosures werethe increase in land disputes and the increase in energy tariffs.

- Relative permeability hysteresis analysis in a reservoir with
characteristics of the Brazilian pre-salt
Authors: Danielle Alves Ribeiro da Silva, Juan Alberto Mateo Hernandez, Jennys Lourdes Meneses Barillas
Abstract: The hysteresis of relative permeability and capillary pressure need to be more widespread in academic studies, in order to understand how they can influence reservoirs with light oil and high pressure. These phenomena become extremely important to have a good prediction of oil production, considering that in many cases, the use of hysteresis in calculations can lead to a better prediction of oil recovery, allowing the exploration of certain fields. Thus, this study had as main objective the analysis of two hysteresis models (Killough and Larsen and Skauge) widely used in commercial software, in order to investigate the behavior of a light oil reservoir using a miscible WAG-CO2 process. Thus, to achieve this goal, a semi-synthetic reservoir, with characteristics similar to those found in the Brazilian pre-salt, was considered and was modeled using commercial software from CMG. Hysteresis reduces fluid permeability, which can generate two effects: increased local sweep efficiency of the oil and loss of injectivity. The former effect contributes to increased oil recovery, while injectivity loss can decrease oil sweep, reducing oil recovery. Furthermore, this work found that hysteresis can cause loss of gas and water injectivity, however this did not prevent hysteresis from increasing oil recovery compared to the case without hysteresis.

- Mangrove root crab Goniopsis cruentata (Latreille, 1803) processed meat
quality by artisanal fisherwoman’s in Cajazeiras, Sergipe-Brazil
Authors: Suzan Diniz Santos, Michelle Garcêz de Carvalho, Igor Macedo Ferreira, Mirla Dayanny Pinto Farias, Priscila de Santana Luciano , Ana Rosa da Rocha Araújo
Abstract: In Sergipe, the mangrove root crab (Goniopsis cruentata, Latreille), known in Brazil as “aratu” is considered one of the main fishing resources for the artisanal fisherwoman in Cajazeiras, Sergipe-Brazil, since mangrove root crab meat chain process is a culture and traditional work activity passed down for generations. So far, no studies assessed the quality of the processing performed by artisanal fishers in Cajazeiras. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate physico-chemical and microbiological characteristics of packaged or unpackaged meat in vacuum of these artisanal fisherwoman’s. The results revealed that the packaging process of the vacuum mangrove root crab meat did not favor the development of thermotolerant coliforms microorganisms, different from the results obtained in the mangrove root crab meat sample packed only in polyethylene bags. It was also found that samples of mangrove root crab meat packed in vacuum and in low density polyethylene bags showed no evidence of coagulase positive Staphylococcus, as well as the absence of Salmonella sp. It should be emphasized that the use of vacuum packaging may be a method that will increase the shelf life of the product, since the intrinsic factors of the sample such as alkaline pH and relatively high humidity are already positive factors for the development of microorganisms.

- Difficulties encountered in the implementation of patient safety protocols
in Brazil
Authors: Débora Rigo Viganó, Marco Antonio Costa
Abstract: Introduction: In 2013, Brazil instituted the National Patient Safety Program (PNSP) to promote and implement a safety culture. Thus, health services became obliged to develop and implement such a program. Objective: To analyze the difficulties encountered by the health team in implementing patient safety protocols in Brazilian health units. Methods: This is an integrative review conducted in the Latin American and Caribbean databases in Health Sciences (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Virtual Health Library (BVS), and Google Scholar through the descriptors, patient safety, patient safety protocols, nursing, and implantation published from 2012 to 2022. Result: The initial search found 43 articles, of which 5 were considered relevant, and 38 were excluded because they were duplicates and/or did not present outcomes of interest due to incomplete data or lack thereof. Conclusion: It is concluded that the health teams found several conditions that hinder the implementation of safety protocols, requiring the participation of senior management in the process and the teams' understanding of these procedures' importance.

- Evaluation of the profile of cytopathological examinations of the cervix
in Brazil: a descriptive study
Authors: Berila Beatriz Dias de Almeida, Maria Adriely Cunha Ferreira, Laura Teresa Reis dos Santos, José Francisco Sobral Neto, Eduardo Paulo de Souza, Marina Schuster Monteiro, Halley Ferraro Oliveira
Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the epidemiological profile of cytopathological examination and its main changes carried out in Brazil in the last 5 years. Methods: This is a quantitative descriptive epidemiological study, in which data were obtained through the Cancer Information System (SISCAN) between 2017 and 2022. Results: During the period studied, 37,020,409 cytopathological examinations of the cervix were performed in the Brazil. With regard to age, approximately 90% of the exams were in the recommended age group for cervical cancer screening, with emphasis on the drop of approximately 44% in the number of cytopathological exams performed in 2020, making it possible to correlate with the period of the pandemic by SARS- CoV-2. Most of the exams evaluated (85%) showed some benign or malignant alteration, however, only 2.9% had alterations, after excluding benign ones. Conclusion: Most alterations in the cytopathological exams were benign, whereas the malignant ones presented a similar prevalence to those in the literature, with squamous cell carcinoma being more common, followed by adenocarcinoma.

- Echo chambers and vaccines against COVID-19 mis/disinformation on Twitter:
machine learning and network analysis-based approach
Authors: Arthur da Silva Lopes, Antonio Brotas
Abstract: Given the infodemiological importance of echo chambers in the dissemination of mis/disinformation, we aimed to analyze the interaction networks of users most exposed to mis/disinformation or controversy about vaccines in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, a methodology based on machine learning and Social Network Analysis is proposed in this research for automated detection of controversial and mis/disinformative content about vaccines, through which a model with 92% accuracy was achieved. Out of the nearly 24 million tweets collected, 12.4 million (52%) were flagged as controversial and/or potential for mis/disinformation, and the months of January and June 2021 were those with the highest activity, being analyzed through a cohort. Unlike previous work, we analyzed the network of all ways of interacting on Twitter, and the entire textual structure of the tweets - not just links or hashtags -. Regarding the conversation about COVID-19 vaccines, the findings were different from those associated with party-political discussion previously described in the literature, since the network of mentions and replies privileges heterophilic relationships, and "echo" conformations were not observable. Finally, further studies are needed to better understand the dissemination of misinformation about vaccines on Twitter.

- Acute kidney injury induced by COVID-19: a literature review
Authors: Lillian Batista Terceros, Marta Driemeier
Abstract: Introduction: The COVID-19 infection has presented significant complications to individuals affected by the disease, among them, acute kidney injury has been showing an increasing incidence. Objective: to know the prevalence of kidney injuries associated with COVID-19, as well as its main clinical and laboratory manifestations. Method: A narrative literature review was performed using the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and PubMed databases. For the search, the descriptors were used: “Sars-CoV-2”, “COVID-19” and “Acute Kidney Injury”. Complete articles were selected, published in the languages: English, Spanish and Portuguese, during the year 2020 to 2023. 482 scientific productions were pre-selected, of which 59 corresponded to the inclusion criteria: complete articles; in English, Portuguese and Spanish and related to the objective used in this study. Results and Discussion: Reports of previous outbreaks of severe acute respiratory syndrome described the prevalence of acute kidney injury, ranging from 5% to 15% of all cases, requiring the use of renal replacement therapy for 5% to 58% of critically ill patients. The impact of acute kidney injury on the outcomes of patients with SARS (SARS)-CoV-2 remains unclear but is of particular interest for introducing early therapy in acute patients as well as contributing to a better definition of prognosis. The extent (') to which the development of acute kidney injury is associated with severe COVID-19 is unclear, given its association with relative immune dysregulation and exaggerated inflammatory responses. However, it is concluded that patients with the development of acute kidney injury have a worse prognosis and a higher mortality rate.

COVID-19
Authors: Gina Andrade Abdala, Norton José Barbosa Caldeira, Mônica Fátima Freires da Silva, Maria Dyrce Dias Meira, Naielly Fortes de Menezes, Sammila Andrade Abdala, Harold George Koenig
Abstract: Objective: to analyze the mediating effect of a healthy lifestyle on the mental health of participants in a Virtual Health Fair, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: Cross-sectional of 1,029 people aged 18 years and over. The Virtual Health Fair was organized as a tridimensional, and data were collected through a link on Google Forms, containing the sociodemographic data form, the Eight Natural Remedies Questionnaire (Q8RN), and the Common Mental Disorders questionnaire (SRQ-20). A Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was performed. Results: Most participants were female (69%; n= 729), married (53.5%; n= 565), of higher education (43.2%; n= 458), and Adventist in religious affiliation (56.7%; n=597). On average, lifestyle was categorized as good by the Q8RN score (mean 56.61; SD 11.59), with a deficiency in the practice of exercise (5.87; 4.02). The Body Mass Index (BMI) was overweight on average (mean 26.02; SD 5.24). A prevalence of common mental disorders was 30.2% based on the SRQ-20 questionnaire. Conclusion: Results indicated that BMI, age, education, and religion had a strong protective effect (62%, p<0.05) for common mental disorders, mediated by healthy lifestyle. A better lifestyle, through the eight natural remedies, within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, mediated the protective effects of lower BMI, older age, and Adventist religion on common mental disorders. The practice of healthy habits should be encouraged in promoting mental health during the current and future pandemics.

- Exeresis of the sublingual gland for the treatment of plunging ranula
Authors: Silma Silva Gomes, Amanda Achkar Coli, Raires do Nascimento Pereira, Vitor Gabriel Santos Silva, Marina Ferreira de Souza, João Eduardo Santos Aguiar, Ana Clara Carvalho de Sousa, Estefany Monteiro Lopes Pereira
Abstract: Plunging ranulas are pseudocysts that originate in the sublingual salivary gland and extend into the submandibular space and then into deeper cervical spaces. Several approaches have been described in the literature regarding the treatment of plunging ranula, including surgical and non-surgical methods. Due to this bias, the main objective of the present study is to provide arguments based on clinical and scientific evidence that complete intraoral excision of the sublingual gland is the most rational approach for the treatment of plunging ranula. The article was carried out through a systematic literature review, which included scientific articles indexed in databases such as Google Scholar, SciELO and PubMed. The methodological steps dealt with the definition and application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, bibliographic survey according to the mentioned databases and synthesis in writing the review. Of the 145 results obtained initially, the present work had 27 articles for its construction, in which, reports acquired from the selected studies declare that the removal of the sublingual gland is the best choice in the surgical management of the plunging ranula instead of the excision of the cyst, since the gland presents itself as the source of formation of this mucus whose accumulation is related to the pathological process. Thus, this treatment approach depends on the surgeon's experience, through knowledge about the pathological alterations of the salivary glands, their clinical characteristics and the involvement of adjacent structures, taking into account the extent and position of the lesion.

- Adaptation of The Multidimensional Depression Assessment Scale for Brazil
Authors: Theodora Larsen Schneiders , Franciele Cristiane Peloso, Michele Zanella, Amy Ho Nam Cheung, Murilo Ricardo Zibetti
Abstract: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) affects about 5.8% of the Brazilian population, being the South American country with the highest number of cases. The diagnosis of MDD is performed through clinical assessment with the help of psychological instruments, however, many instruments measure depression in a unifactorial or bifactorial way. The Multidimensional Depression Assessment Scale (MDAS) seeks to assess MDD in four main domains, namely emotional, cognitive, somatic and interpersonal. This last domain isn’t frequently assessed by instruments for this diagnosis. However, its importance for depressed symptoms. The objective of the present study was to adapt the MDAS instrument to the Brazilian context. This is an adaptation study that followed the steps of translation, synthesis, evaluation by expert judges, evaluation by the target audience, back-translation, and evaluation by the original author of the instrument. The 52 items of the instrument went through all the processes and some underwent semantic and linguistic changes to adapt to the Brazilian culture. The Content Validity Coefficient (CVC) was performed and the instrument obtained a total CVC of 0.93 for clarity and 0.94 for relevance. The instrument adaptation process showed that the MDAS, in Brazilian Portuguese called the Escala Multidimensional de Avaliação da Depressão (EMAD), has a good semantic fit and is suitable for use in Brazil. EMAD presents a broader assessment of depression, which measures different dimensions, including interpersonal symptoms. This contributes to a more complete assessment and as a guide for psychological interventions in clinical practice.

Abstract: Objective: To know the perception of family members of COVID-19 hospitalized patients about the period of hospitalization in an Adult Intensive Care Unit. Methodology: Descriptive and qualitative study with adult family members of patients with COVID-19 admitted to an Adult Intensive Care Unit of a tertiary public hospital in Porto Alegre (RS), Brazil. A sheet with sociodemographic data and a semi-structured questionnaire were used. The interviews were conducted between November and December/2020 by phone call and the sample was determined by data saturation. Bardin’s content analysis was used. Results: Nine family members aged between 23 and 56 years old participated. Predominated women, mostly daughters. The number of days in isolation ranged from 8 to 31. Five categories emerged: The Intensive Care Unit as a death sentence; The impact of a new disease; Family distance and exclusion; Support networks; The imminence of death. Conclusion: Hospitalizations due to COVID-19 in Intensive Care Unit were permeated by fear and anguish of family members, increased because it is a new and incurable disease. The need for isolation made physical contact impossible, impacting the understanding of the condition and the elaboration of mourning. The support of team healthcare, other family members and friends, faith and religiosity emerged as protective mechanisms. Anticipatory grief, fear of death without saying goodbye and multiple losses are central to grief. Emotional support for family members is essential, in order to promote psychological well-being and prevent psychological injuries and complicated grief.

- Groundwater resources in an alluvial aquifer in the Northeastern semi-arid
region: a case study in the Morada Nova Irrigation Project, CE
Authors: José Wilson de Oliveira Magalhães, Raimundo Nonato Távora Costa, Kenya Gonçalves Nunes, Renata Nayara Câmara Miranda Silveira, José Alfredo de Albuquerque
Abstract: The irregular rainfall and the years of low rainfall are important factors that lead farmers in the semi-arid region to seek alternatives that enable the continuity of production activities. The objective of the study was to analyse the behaviour of wells in the semi-arid region, in the Morada Nova Irrigation Project, located in the municipalities of Morada Nova and Limoeiro do Norte - CE. Monthly readings of static level of the wells during the years 2014 to 2019 were considered. The static level data were treated and organized in graphs and iso-depth maps to enable the observation of the water table behavior during dry and rainy seasons. The rise and depletion of each well over the year was analysed using the use and recovery coefficient. The graphs and maps showed a large drop in the static levels of the wells mainly in the year 2015 and recovery of the levels in the year 2018, the best year of rainfall; extending the recovery until 2019. The use and recovery coefficient made it possible to estimate how much was exploited of the wells during each year, highlighting the year 2015 with the highest depletion of the wells, with an average of 3.26 m, and the year 2016, with the coefficient value of 12.95. The year 2018 obtained the best coefficient, with the value of 0.58, and the average rise of the wells of 2.18 m. Such favorable indices are justified by the occurrence of rainfall above the historical average in the region, confirming strong collaboration and interference in the rainy and dry seasons.

Abstract: The study aims to evaluate watchful waiting in comparison with emergency cerclage for the treatment of isthmocervical incompetence. This is an integrative literature review carried out using the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) and Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) databases. of the following Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS): “expectant management” and “cervical cerclage”. Combined with each other by the Boolean AND operator. As inclusion criteria: articles available in full, in Portuguese, Spanish and English, that addressed the theme, in the last ten years (2012-2022). As exclusion criteria: articles that did not contemplate the theme and repeated studies in the databases. 12 articles were found, after the combined search of descriptors and boleaning operators, 6 articles were selected to compose the final sample, as shown in the table below. The analysis of cervical incompetence is mainly based on the medical history and can be performed before or during pregnancy. Emergency cerclage is performed during the same period of dilation of the uterine cervix, and therapy for IIC should preferably be terminated by the 14th week of gestation, when cervical adjustments have not yet taken place and the time for early miscarriages has passed.

- Family care for children and adolescentes with cystic fibrosis
Authors: Nayla Kethellyn Gonçalves de Souza, Gabriele Petruccelli, Gabriela Marsola Olivatto , Maria Aparecida Bonelli
Abstract: The study aimed to learn about the experience of families in caring for children/adolescents with cystic fibrosis. This is a descriptive, exploratory study with a qualitative approach, carried out with nine families of children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis, living in municipalities in the state of São Paulo, from September 2020 to January 2021. Family-Centered Care was used as a theoretical concept, Bardin's Content Analysis as a methodological framework, and open online interviews as a data collection strategy. From the data analysis it was possible to apprehend three thematic categories: “Facing cystic fibrosis”; “Care for children/adolescents with cystic fibrosis and its family repercussions”; and “Support in the trajectory of care for children/adolescents with cystic fibrosis”. It was concluded that there is a life of dependency, both for the family member and the children/adolescentes with cystic fibrosis, related to the disease and emotional and physical exhaustion, and all care in their day-to-day needs to be carried out in a precise and comprehensive way. Thus, the importance of the care network, of which the multidisciplinary team and the nurse are part, is emphasized, so that the family focuses on individual care, providing a humane lifestyle, with health promotion and quality of life.

- Congenital generalized lipodystrophy: a literature review
Authors: Mônica Bento Bispo, Ana Carolina Carli de Freitas
Abstract: Introduction: Congenital generalized lipodystrophy is a pathology that presents a wide range of clinical manifestations, with numerous risk factors and a high rate of complications. Objective: The objective of this work is to review the literature on congenital lipodystrophy, presenting the clinical picture, diagnosis and recommended treatment, taking into account the low incidence of reported cases and the severity of the pathology. Method: A narrative literature review was performed using the databases: PubMed, Scielo and UpToDate. The descriptors used were: “Lipodystrophy”; “Congenital Generalized Lipodystrophy”, “Insulin Resistance” and “Metabolic Syndrome”. Complete articles were selected, found in the following languages: Portuguese, English or Spanish. 298 articles were pre-selected and after verifying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 33 studies remained that were used to compose the work. Results and discussion: Pathophysiology is associated with mutations in genes that code for different proteins, which are involved in the various stages of lipid droplet formation in adipocytes. The most reported clinical picture is related to hepatomegaly and muscle hypertrophy, but the characteristics can be variable because it is an important genetic alteration. There is a frequent association with glucose intolerance, hyperinsulinism, diabetes mellitus, hypertriglyceridemia, hepatic steatosis, prominent musculature, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and cysts. The diagnosis is usually clinical, but needs confirmation through genetic testing. Treatment is related to the severity and complications presented by the individual. Conclusion: studies on the subject are necessary to guarantee early diagnosis and follow-up of individuals from the pediatric stage.

- Determination of blood pressure in carriers of artificial ventricle
continuous flow: Practice report
Authors: Isabela Gomes Musa dos Santos, Adryel Vieira Caetano da Silva, Teully Hemerson Xavier Viana, Fabricio Canova Callil, Natalia Balestra
Abstract: The objective of the research is to report the procedure for determining blood pressure in patients with continuous flow artificial ventricle. This is a descriptive, exploratory, experience report type study. The specialized and evidence-based professional practice allowed observing that the use of this procedure among patients with continuous flow artificial ventricle can be performed by the previously trained nursing team. The continuous flow pump mechanism alters the blood pressure verification mechanism, as it modifies the presence of pulsatility. The most recommended technique for this profile of patients, in a non-invasive way, is through the use of vascular Doppler to verify the mean arterial pressure. Therefore, in recent years, the use of an artificial ventricle has been on the rise as a therapeutic alternative used in our environment and requires specific care, pressure measurement being one of them and of great importance. This study allowed listing the care and guidelines for professionals and patients.

narrative review
Authors: Beatriz da Silva Sousa, Francisco Thiago Paiva Monte, Roberlandia Evangelista Lopes Ávila, Leidiane Carvalho de Aguiar, Maria Janileila da Silva Cordeiro, Silvinha de Sousa Vasconcelos Costa
Abstract: Pressure ulcers (PU) are a health problem that has been a cause for concern because they represent a public health problem. It is known that care for people with LP should occur in high and medium complexity, but also in Primary Health Care, under the care of the Family Health Team. This study aims to synthesize findings from the Brazilian scientific literature about nursing care in the prevention of GP in the Family Health Strategy. This is a narrative review study, with a bibliographic survey carried out in the electronic databases of the Virtual Health Library (VHL). The descriptors "Pressure Sores", "Family Health Strategy" and "Nursing", obtained from the Descriptors in Health Sciences (DeCS), were the search guides. In addition, the Boolean operator "AND" was applied. The systematic review included 06 articles. It was evident in the studies that most nurses do not use a specific method for evaluating LPs, which is sometimes done based on previous knowledge. Thus, we realized the importance of professional qualification for nursing care to patients with LP in the ESF, both in order to implement preventive measures to identify the risk of new lesions, and in the care of existing lesions. Institutional protocols to guide this care are also relevant. Thus, regarding the performance of the FHS nurse, the professional's training and search for knowledge are essential for improving care.

- Valorization potential of coffee grounds waste as a renewable pore-forming
agent to produce low-cost porous ceramic support
Authors: Felipe Sardinha Maciel, Isabela Oliveira Rangel Areias, José Nilson França de Holanda
Abstract: Every day expressive amounts of coffee grounds waste generated during making the coffee beverage are produced worldwide. The aim of this work was to investigate the valorization potential of the coffee grounds waste as an alternative pore-forming agent to produce porous kaolin-based ceramic supports. For this purpose, kaolin-based ceramic support formulations containing up to 40 mass % of coffee grounds waste were pressed and fired at temperatures ranging from 1000 to 1200 ºC. The sintering behavior and technical properties (linear shrinkage, mass loss, apparent density, mechanical strength, and apparent porosity) have been investigated. The microstructural evolution has been accompanied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and 3D-confocal microscopy. The obtained results demonstrated that the coffee grounds waste could serve as a very effective pore-forming agent to produce kaolin-based ceramic support with highly porous structures. Such ceramic supports incorporated with coffee grounds waste exhibited values of apparent porosity within the range of 41.87 % to 70.96 %. This results suggests that the coffee grounds waste, in the range of 10 - 40 mass %, could be a highly promising renewable porogenic material to be valorized to produce low-cost kaolin-based ceramic support with good porosity properties. This new approach could be an innovative alternative for the sustainable use of coffee grounds waste.

- Biostimulant Ascophyllum nodosum in corn crop
Authors: Luiz Paulo de Souza, Kleso Silva Franco Júnior, Vinícius Muniz Ribeiro, Giselle Prado Brigante
Abstract: In search of better agricultural production, farmers are looking for new technologies and among these one that is widely used are biostimulants, which are agrochemicals that can promote various benefits in cultivated plants. Biostimulants based on seaweed extracts of the Ascophyllum nodosum species have been widely marketed, as they present relevant responses in the production of different cultures, especially when these are subject to cultivation in environments under stress conditions. These products promote an increase in the absorption of nutrients and water by plants, in addition to influencing hormonal activity. The objective was to evaluate the effects of different doses of the biostimulant based on seaweed extracts of the species Ascophyllum nodosum, applied via foliar application, in corn. The research was carried out between March and July 2022, in Carmo do Rio Claro-MG, conducted in a Randomized Block Design (DBC) with 5 treatments (doses of 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mL.ha-1 of the biostimulant ) and 7 repetitions, totaling 35 experimental units. The following parameters were analyzed: stem diameter, plant height, root length, leaf length, leaf width, thousand grain weight, production in 200 m² and production in Kg.ha-1. The application of the biostimulant based on seaweed extracts of the Ascophyllum nodosum species (Acadian commercial product) obtained significant results in the growth and development of corn plants, resulting in significant increases in grain productivity, especially when applied at a dose of 200 mL.ha-1.

- Elaboration and application of edible coatings with the addition of kefir
yogurt on apples and grapes
Authors: Maria Antonia Cardoso Holthausen, Gustavo Bressa Castilho, Elisângela Serenato Madalozzo
Abstract: In Brazil most fruits have a rapid maturation process. An alternative to preserve these fruits are kefir-based edible coatings, which have high antimicrobial activity. This work aims to develop edible coatings using kefir yogurt, applied to apples and grapes to analyze the increase in shelf life. Two formulations of coatings with kefir yogurt (0.5 liter and 1 liter) were obtained and applied to the fruits. They were stored for a period of eleven days and submitted to physical-chemical and microbiological analyzis. The obtained results demonstrated that the coating with 1L of kefir yogurt, made the apples and grapes, together with the refrigeration, achieve a lower percentage of mass loss. In the grapes, the coating with 0.5l at room temperature was what obtained the best results for pH (3.06) and acidity (13.29 mL NaOH.100 g-1), both of which had a significant difference from the other samples. As for the apples, the same coating at room temperature showed a value of 4.42 for pH, being significantly equal to the other samples, and 0.63 for acidity, being significantly different from the other samples. For the microbiological analyses, the coating with 1l of kefir yogurt obtained better results for the microbiological control of apples and for the grapes the coating with 0.5L obtained better results. Thus, it is concluded that coatings based on kefir yogurt were effective, in this study, to preserve apples and grapes for a prolonged period.

- Evaluation of the antimicrobial and synergist potential of the gross
ethanol extract from the leaves of Moringa oleifera Lam in front of
Staphylococcus aureus
Authors: Yanca Ferreira de Vasconcellos Costa, Jussara Cirilo Leite Torres, Jéssica Laurentino de França, Yáskara Veruska Ribeiro Barros, Roberta Lima, Adriane Borges Cabral, Juliane Cabral Silva
Abstract: Antimicrobials are drugs used to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, thus, they are indicated for the treatment of microbial infections, but their excessive use can lead to the selection of resistant strains. On the other hand, Moringa oleifera is a plant whose parts are commonly used in traditional medicine, due to their anti-inflammatory and antibacterial potential. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial potential of Moringa oleifera leaf extract against Staphylococcus aureus. Strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from clinical samples were maintained in nutrient agar, resuspended in sterile saline solution and streaked onto the surface of Müller-Hinton agar. Filter paper discs were impregnated with the obtained extracts in order to determine the bacterial activity. Assays performed in triplicate. A halo of inhibition was observed only in discs containing oxacillin. The literature review showed the broad potential of extracts from parts of Moringa oleifera against different microorganisms. Such activity, however, was not observed in this experiment, which highlights the importance of further studies about the characteristics of the plant.

- Effects of digital games training on hormonal responses and brain
plasticity
Authors: Eleni Mitsea, Athanasios Drigas, Charalabos Skianis
Abstract: Digital games are a ubiquitous part of almost all children’s and adolescents’ lives. At the same time gaming industry is ready to unlock new levels of growth in the coming years (Granik et al., 2014). A growing number of studies have already focused on the beneficial effects of digital games on various aspects of cognition and health. However, less emphasis has been given to the physiological biomarkers that operate in the background and cause various modifications in players’ mental and emotional states as well as their ability to be aware and take control over their decisions and actions. Hormones and neurotransmitters regulate homeostasis and determine to a significant extent humans’ health, state of mind, and self-awareness abilities. Neuroplasticity is now recognized as a crucial factor in acquiring new skills and abilities. The present study aims to investigate the impact of digital game-playing on hormone responses and neuroplasticity phenomena. To this objective, we conducted a literature review presenting the most representative experimental studies. The results showed that digital games have significant effects on hormone responses and neuroplasticity phenomena. Finally, we discuss the factors that may contribute to alterations in digital game players’ homeostasis. The findings of this review aim to contribute to the discussion regarding the design of targeted, novel game-based intervention tools that have the potential to improve homeostasis, drive positive neuroplasticity, accelerate metacognitive learning, and thereby promote mental and emotional well-being for both typical populations, but most importantly, for people with learning disabilities, mental and other disorders.

Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the clinical response of periodontal tissues after periodontal therapy associated with the use of Bach Flower (Rock Rose gel) in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methodology: This randomized, doble-blind, split-mouth, single-center, placebo-controlled clinical trial selected 20 participants with moderate, severe, or advanced periodontitis (stage II, III, and IV). They were divided into groups, where group 1 received Floral Rock Rose gel and group 2, saline gel. All groups received conventional periodontal treatment characterized by scaling and root planing before gel application. Clinical evaluation was performed using periodontal clinical parameters: Plaque Index (PI), Gingival Index (GI), probing depth (PPD), gingival recession (GR), and Clinical Insertion Level (CAL). Biometric parameters and hematological parameters were also evaluated. All clinical and laboratory parameters were obtained at baseline and after three months. Results: There was an improvement in periodontal clinical parameters before and after treatment in both groups (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the intervention, control, and floral groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: The periodontal treatment performed with Rock Rose adjuvant gel (Bach Flower) was safe, efficient, and promoted the improvement of periodontal clinical parameters. However, it did not show superior results to conventional periodontal therapy.

Abstract: The present study sought to test the association nutritional status and eating attitudes of bariatric patients in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil. This is a cross-sectional, descriptive, analytical, online study, with 412 individuals, distributed in 21 Brazilian states, the study was carried out after approval by the Ethics Committee and contemplates female or male individuals, aged 18 years or over, who underwent bariatric surgery, and who accepted the research terms. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation and frequency) were used. Pearson's chi-square test was applied to test the association between categorical variables, with analysis of adjusted residuals to identify which categories were associated. For all analyses, the statistical significance level of p<0.05 was considered. Socio-demographic data were used: gender, education, family income, housing, surgery time, sports technique, BMI and EAT-26 sports. The results showed individuals with greater participation in the female public, with high school education and income from one to three minimum exams, such factors were associated with the development of eating attitudes, gastric bypass and individuals attended between three and six months after the procedure and the pre-surgical EAT-26 total score of value 0.47 stratified positive for TA. In this sense, continuous multidisciplinary and nutritional monitoring is essential to ensure the success of the bariatric procedure.

hospital
Authors: Tiago de Matos Teixeira, Thalita Costa de Sousa, Jeane Rodella Assunção
Abstract: Cerebral Palsy (CP) can be defined as a group of movement and posture disorders, causing limitation in the individual's execution of actions, which are attributed to non-progressive disorders that occurred in fetal or infant brain development. There are several possibilities for intervention in children with CP, seeking to improve function, among them Psychomotricity. This can be defined as the relationship between thought and action, involving emotion. Given the importance of using psychomotor practice in children with CP, this study will provide important information for understanding the profile of these patients and, from there, outlining new stimulation possibilities for this population. Objective: To analyze the clinical and sociodemographic profile of children with CP who participated in a psychomotor stimulation program at a physical rehabilitation hospital. Method: This is a document analysis, with descriptive statistics of children with CP who participated in Psychomotor Stimulation groups in the SARAH Network of Rehabilitation Hospitals - Salvador/BA Unit, between 2016 and 2020. Results: In this study, it was observed predominance of male CP patients, aged between 3 and 5 years, from Salvador, GMFCS level I, spastic hemiplegic type. Conclusion: The findings of this study are relevant for the academic society, considering the scarcity of studies involving CP and Psychomotricity. In addition, they point to a new possibility of intervention by health professionals, characterizing an important part of the rehabilitation process of these individuals.

consequences and impacts
Authors: Gabriella Silva Monte, Giovanna Sobral Fernandes , José Hérico Ferreira das Chagas Júnior, José Olavo do Vale Palmeira, Laíza Cláudia Barbosa de Macêdo, Sara Brenda de Souza Tomaz, Tábata Loíse Cunha Lima
Abstract: For several decades, the Poxvirus family has been a threat to several continents, causing damage to the European population during the Middle Ages. Currently, some emerging species are becoming endemic, such as the scenario of monkeypox in the Brazilian health service, requiring efforts to eradicate them. The work in question seeks to highlight the difficulties of epidemiological surveillance in the sense of early diagnosis of virus carriers. The literary analysis of the most recent articles and magazines on the subject was used as a methodology, seeking to correlate the difficulties encountered for its diagnosis. Thus, it was possible to notice a threat to current public health, given the lack of knowledge about monkeypox disease, as well as the neglect and fake news disseminated by Brazilian society. Therefore, public measures need to be elaborated so that the constraints of this late diagnosis are minimized in the Brazilian territory, aiming to evaluate the social, sexual, economic and class issues that surround Monkeypox.

- Development of a pharmaceutical management plan for medicinal gases in a
public university hospital in Belém
Authors: Márcia Moraes Paulino da Silva , Aline Farias Ribeiro, Kezia Rayane Paulino da Silva, Marcos Valério Santos da Silva
Abstract: Objective: Develop a plan for the management, monitoring and use of GM in the HUJBB. Material and methods: This is an exploratory and observational field research with a qualitative approach, carried out with a situational diagnosis, using a checklist with 28 items according to norms and legislation on medicinais gases. It was considered as a sample, the places that store and distribute the GM. The results were treated with the management tools, Swot Matrix and 5W2H, in different phases: identification and data analysis. Results: Of the 28 items, 9 items did not meet the standards and legislation: Storage area, receipt of GM, identification of empty cylinders, cylinder valve protection helmet, cylinder labels, severe corrosion and emergency alarms in care units. Through the Swot Matrix, the strengths and weaknesses, threats and opportunities were observed and by the 5W2H method, 7 corrective action plans were proposed for the adjustments of the items. Conclusion: This work was developed to meet the needs of reorganizing the Management of GM by the Pharmacy Sector at HUJBB. In this sense, it was observed that there was still a lack of actions on the part of the institution so that the standards and precepts of quality were actually a reality in the hospital. Pharmacists are expected to adopt the informative instrument generated by this research, Manual of Guidance on Medicinal Gases, on the main issues inherent to GM and also, it could be expanded to other university hospitals, as a management and monitoring tool.

- Spiritual Intelligence: A matter of intelligence!
Authors: Andréa Cristina Fermiano Fidelis, Nilton S. Formiga, António Jorge Fernandes
Abstract: Spiritual intelligence has assumed an ambivalence regarding its belonging in studies of human or philosophical intelligence. To answer this question, the present study aims to develop theoretical research called snowball on the two themes that support it, namely: spirituality and intelligence. The study intends to develop a theoretical element that contributes to the discussions around spiritual intelligence, especially about the translation of the term in the area of psychology and philosophy. In this context, how much spirituality concerns reductions to religious beliefs, theoretically, has assigned theoretical and empirical spaces of general or multiple assessments to intelligence, as well as hereditary or learned. In general, the theme in question is reflected in an approach to spiritual intelligence regarding the cognitive capacity inherent in all individuals, which needs external stimuli for its development.
Keywords: Intelligence; Spiritual intelligence; Spirituality; Theory.

Abstract: The objective of this review was to know the studies carried out in the last five years on the diseases of mandatory notification to WOAH in terrestrial production animals to identify the main diseases, animal species involved, the countries where the studies were located, and diagnostic methods used. A systematic approach of observational studies was used in open access articles. Criteria were adopted for inclusion, exclusion and scoring of articles. The search on evidence sources returned 1062 references. After removal of duplicates and exclusion in Phases I and II, 37 articles were analyzed after reading the full texts for data characterization. The results were evaluated by animal species, country, types of disease (zoonotic/non-zoonotic) and agent (bacteria/virus). The findings showed diseases such as: PRRS (18/54; 33.33%), Aujeszky's Disease (04/54; 07.41%) and Avian Infectious Bronchitis (03/54; 05.56%) among those of economic; Rift Valley Fever (04/54; 07.41%), Brucellosis (03/54; 5.56%) and Japanese Encephalitis (02/54; 03.70) among zoonoses. China (8/37; 21.62%) was the country that stood out the most in terms of diversity of studies. This review demonstrated a complex of disease pathogens in birds, ruminants and swine in different countries, contributing to an updated demonstration of scientifically based data as support for future studies on the subject studied.

Lippia lasiocalycina Cham
Authors: Candido Athayde Sobrinho, Erasmo Ribeiro Paz Filho , Larisse Raquel Carvalho Dias , Ananda Rosa Beserra Santos , Paulo Henrique Soares da Silva, Cícero Nicolini, Luana Maria Alves da Silva
Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the health quality of cowpea seeds (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) used in the Mid-North region of Brazil, to verify the effect of seed treatment with essential oil of Lippia lasiocalycina in the control of fungi in seeds, as well as its effect on germination. Seed health quality was obtained using the Seed Sanity Test (TSS) in 111 samples. To control the microorganisms, the essential oil Lippia lasiocalycina was used, without dilution, in the following concentrations: 0 (without oil); 0.5; 1.0; 2.0; and 4.0 mL Kg-1 of seed. The TSS revealed the presence of Alternaria sp., Aspergilus spp., Cladosporium sp. Curvularia sp., Lasiodiplodia theobromae, Macrophomina phaseolina, Penicillium spp., yeasts, Phoma sp., Fusarium spp, Rhizoctonia solani and Rhizopus stolonifer. The seeds have a sanitary quality considered regular. All phytopathogens were controlled by essential oil at a concentration of 3 mL Kg-1 of seeds, however, this concentration of essential oil negatively affects the germination power of seeds. For the specific control of Fusarium, seeds of the cultivar BRS Guariba were used, naturally infested with an average incidence of 87%.

- Use of aromatase inhibitors for height improvement in boys: a literature
review
Authors: Mauren Oliveira Cruz, Adriana Resende Milagres Saab
Abstract: Introduction: Short stature is currently one of the most common reasons for seeking and referring patients to pediatric endocrinology. Such a demand occurs not only due to the physiological factors, but also the psychological ones involved. Objective: to analyze the specific literature on aromatase inhibitors and their use in children. Method: A narrative literature review was carried out using Pubmed, Google Scholar and UptoDate databases. For the search, the following descriptors were used: “aromatase inhibitor”, “children” and “growth”. Articles on the use of aromatase inhibitors in boys with short stature were selected. Articles that focused on the use of aromatase inhibitors in cancer, the use of aromatase inhibitors exclusively in McCune Albright Syndrome and that were not located in full were excluded. A total of 1028 scientific productions were found, of which 59 met the pre-established criteria. Results and Discussion: The aromatase enzyme is a cytochrome P450 enzyme and converts androgenic precursors into estrogenic precursors. Aromatase inhibitors delay growth cartilage senescence and may be indicated in boys with current short stature with psychosocial repercussions or inadequate prediction of final height. According to previously published studies, aromatase inhibitors have been shown to be effective in the treatment of short stature. It is concluded that aromatase inhibitor treatment effectively delays bone maturation and improves adult height.

- The COVID-19 pandemic as a limiter of the screening of sexually
transmitted infections in the semiarid of Piauí
Authors: Isabela Mendes Maia, Anne Caroline Frota Soares , José Matheus Macedo Torquato de Siqueira, Luana Pereira de Oliveira, Italo Rossi Roseno Martins
Abstract: Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are characterized by diseases whose main form of transmission is the sexual route, among them syphilis and HIV are a major public health problem. The high rate of STIs is correlated with the precariousness of sex education in the general population and insufficient health services. During the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a delay in the diagnosis of chronic diseases, STIs, in addition to other causes. In view of this, the study proposes to analyze the possible impact of the pandemic on the profile of cases and actions to combat STIs in a municipality in the semi-arid region of Piauí and its macro-region. In addition to identifying the age profile and gender most affected during the study period. This is a retrospective and descriptive epidemiological study with data from compulsory notification of the incidence of STIs (syphilis and HIV) in the pre-COVID-19 pandemic period (2017 to 2019) and during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020 to 2021). ) granted by the Testing and Welcome Center (CTA) of Picos. Based on the data collected, a significant drop in the diagnosis of HIV and syphilis can be observed, provided by the period of greater tension and lack of knowledge about COVID-19 in 2020. In addition, a higher incidence was identified in males, in the adult age group and also a decrease in the number of educational activities carried out by the CTA. Through the study, it can be concluded that underreporting during the pandemic period may have repercussions in the future for delaying the diagnosis and management of the patient and the reduction of educational activities, making it difficult to spread information.

Abstract: Atrophic mandible fractures in edentulous patients constitute a subgroup of facial injuries that mostly affect geriatric individuals. Thus, the perioperative protocol of the elderly injured patient must be performed differently from young patients and, many times, they are more complex procedures. Thus, this article aims to review the characteristics, treatment options and complications of surgical treatment of bilateral fracture of the atrophic mandible in edentulous patients. For the construction of this article, a bibliographical survey was carried out in the databases SciVerse Scopus, Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), U.S. National Library of Medicine (PUBMED) and ScienceDirect, with the help of the Mendeley reference manager. Articles were covered between the years 2000 to 2023. Surgical treatment is still relatively preferred for atrophic edentulous mandibular fractures based on patient tolerance. Treatment of cases with mild atrophy is similar to that of general mandibular fractures. For cases with severe atrophy, an extraoral incision should be used for fixation and damage to the periosteum should be minimized to preserve the blood supply. The choice of bone plate is most indicated for maximum stability to minimize complications.

Abstract: The chronic use of psychotropic drugs is increasingly present in the population. Benzodiazepines (BZD) are psychotropic drugs whose main clinical indications are related to anxiety, insomnia, panic syndromes, muscle relaxation, epilepsy and relief of spasticity resulting from central nervous system pathologies. The realization of this research is justified by its academic, scientific and social relevance, having in mind, to present the probability of dependence, damage, personal, social and physical effects caused by the chronic use of benzodiazepine psychotropics. Thus, the objective was to highlight the losses and long-term harm caused by the chronic use of benzodiazepines among the elderly. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review study, carried out through a data survey, through the scientific bases: LILACS, SCIELO and PUBMED. Results and Discussion: The literature presented clear answers about the main damage caused by the involuntary and chronic use of benzodiazepines. In elderly users, this condition is one of the most common psychiatric emergencies. Allied to this, in the prolonged use of benzodiazepines, cognitive deficits are considered a side effect that may appear in the medium and long term, causing impacts on the physical, emotional and social activities of the elderly. Complications arising from cognitive deficits vary according to changes in the level of consciousness. Conclusion: Side effects in the elderly are associated with cognitive decline, as it reduces exercise capacity and increases the risk of falls and fractures.

Abstract: According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Brazil has the highest rate of plastic surgeries in the world. Following the world standard, breast augmentation is one of the most common cosmetic procedures in Brazil, being considered one of the safest procedures with the highest efficiency rate. This review aims to analyze the techniques and risks of breast augmentation. For the elaboration of the work, the integrative bibliographic review methodology was used. Regarding the surgical technique, two surgical methods are used to locate the implant, the subglandular and submuscular methods, with three options for incision methods: inframammary, periareolar and axillary for incision. it is essential to achieve the aesthetic and functional objective desired by the patient. Currently, implants are divided between anatomical shape and round shape, with the round being divided into 3 subtypes: round with high profile, round with super-high profile and round with low profile. In every surgical procedure there is a risk of complications, with ASIA syndrome, infection and seroma being the most common in mammoplasty. From the present study, it is possible to observe that there are several techniques for performing the silicone implant and when choosing, the plastic surgeon must take the technical criteria proven in the medical literature and the patient's desire.

Abstract: Facial injuries, particularly soft tissue injuries and fractures of the facial bones, frequently occur as a result of motor vehicle collisions, falls, violent assaults, and collisions during recreational activities such as cycling. Although they occasionally occur as isolated injuries, they are more commonly associated with other serious injuries. Thus, the objective of this study was to describe the pre- and postoperative management of patients with cranio-maxillofacial trauma, as well as to describe behaviors that help professionals to establish the correct diagnosis, jointly determining their prognosis. For the construction of this article, a bibliographical survey was carried out in the databases SciVerse Scopus, Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), U.S. National Library of Medicine (PUBMED) and ScienceDirect, with the help of the Mendeley reference manager. The articles were contemplated between the years 2000 to 2022. The management of the injured face has undergone major changes after a greater understanding of the healing process and with advances in technology. The results are considerably better than 30 years ago as more comprehensive assessment and management is now possible. However, today there are still challenges to consistently restore trauma patients back to their pre-injury form and function, but this is not always possible. Greater understanding and development have significantly improved results, although controversy still exists in some areas.

- Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Authors: Larissa de Oliveira Rocha, Natália de Fátima Gonçalves Amâncio
Abstract: Introduction: The COVID-19 virus has high transmissibility, which has resulted in a pandemic scenario. Within this context, cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an example of a procedure that was affected, since it involves close contact of the patient with the professional, which increases the risk of infection of those involved. Objective: to analyze and gather which were the impacts of the pandemic on cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Methodology: this is an integrative review of the literature, guided by the PICO strategy that started from the clinical question: "How did the COVID-19 pandemic impact cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)'". The databases used were Virtual Health Library (VHL), Scientif Eletronic Library Online (SciELO), National Library of Medicine (PubMed) and Google Scholar. Results and discussion: The SARS-CoV-2 virus has a high transmissibility, which resulted in the reformulation of procedures to ensure the safety of professionals. Furthermore, cardiac arrest occurring inside the hospital environment was related to greater severity of the patients, which generated worse survival outcomes. Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests were impacted by delayed emergency care and fear of infection by bystanders. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic impacted cardiopulmonary resuscitations in several ways, and the outcomes of this interaction were not positive. Thus, it was perceived that the education of professionals and of the general population was of extreme importance for better choices to be made. Thus, knowing the impacts of the pandemic is important to better deal with the issue in focus and to serve as an example for new aggravations.

Abstract: Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH) is a major public health problem in Brazil and worldwide, in addition to being a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, it is linked to other metabolic disorders such as dyslipidemia, obesity and glucose intolerance. This study is a narrative review with the purpose of discussing and describing SAH and its pathophysiology, as well as demonstrating how this pathology is supported by alcohol. The following databases were used: SciElo (Scientific Electronic Library Online), PubMed (US National Library of Medicine) and BJD (Brazilian Journal of Development), with scientific data from November 2, 2022, with language restriction (Portuguese) and without restriction to the year of publication. A good voice from the studies started that approved patients with SAH drink alcohol on weekends; the beverage most used by patients in the studies was beer. This one, which acts significantly in SAH, causes the patient's weight to increase at an accelerated rate and with that, high weight becomes a risk factor for increased pressure, directly. The presence of arterial stiffening was also observed in patients who consume alcoholic beverages, especially whiskey and beer, given the important observation that all beverages increase the weight of consumers. The analyzed studies allowed us to infer the strong conversion of the theme, when estimating the understanding between alcoholism and SAH.

Abstract: To review the available scientific content regarding the relationship between meditation and sleep quality PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases were searched with the keywords “meditation”, “sleep” and “sleep disorder”. Articles were considered if published in English or Portuguese, between 2011 and 2022 attended to the following criteria: (1) reported data from an original study, (2) presented objective documentation of meditation’s outcomes, and (3) performed in adults. Articles that did not meet the inclusion criteria and presented pharmaceutical intervention were excluded. Overall, the studies in this review had a positive outcome on sleep quality after meditation. In some articles, a couple of diseases were presented with less severity on the ongoing condition after the practices. In addition, they helped with attention, perception, analytical ability, motor response and reaction time of people that performed it. Moreover, it brought effective results for the treatment of chronic insomnia, resulting in significant improvements in total sleep time, in the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and improved sleep quality in individuals with chronic insomnia. Of the 14 studies included in this review, 9 were randomized controlled trials and 5 were population-based surveys. The outcomes of mindfulness meditation practice were diverse, ranging from improved sleep and life quality, reduction of sleep-related problems, positive interference with psychological problems, memory, and concentration. Despite positive results, there must be a methodological standard among the studies regarding this subject, with the aim to find reliable results that can be used for substantial clinical interventions.

- Ethnopharmacological review, phytochemistry and bioactivity of the genus
Geissospermum (Apocynaceae)
Authors: Dayan de Araújo Marques, Fernando Berton Zanchi, Geisa Paulino Caprini Evaristo
Abstract: This narrative review aims to update the ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry and biological activities of Geissospermum species described in the literature, in order to contribute to the knowledge of bioactive compounds of therapeutic interest and establish directions for future research with this genus. The term “Geissospermum” was used to perform searches in different databases such as NDLTD (Digital Library Network of Theses and Dissertations), Google Scholar, PubChem, Scifinder, Web of Science, SciELO, PubMed and Science Direct. Google's National Institute of Industrial Property and Patents (INPI) was also consulted. The keywords indole alkaloids, quina-quina, Geissospermum, Geissospermum reticulatum and malaria were used in the search. Publications in Portuguese, French, Spanish and English published between 1950 and 2022 were included. Indole alkaloids are the main secondary metabolites found in this genus, and several molecules have already been isolated, which may be related to the described pharmacological activities. Extracts and isolated compounds showed antitumor, antimalarial, antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, anticholinesterase, anti-HIV, antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. Plants of the genus Geissospermum are used in Brazil mainly by the Amazonian peoples to treat various pathologies. Biological activities reported for extracts and isolated compounds are consistent with etonopharmacological use against malaria, cancer and other diseases. Future work with Geissospermum species is needed to elucidate the mechanism of action of the isolated alkaloids, as well as their toxicological profile.

- Multicriteria approach to choose the best cycling route for cycling in the
metropolitan region of Cuiabá-MT
Authors: Cristiano Oliveira Nicolau, Rodolfo Benedito Zattar da Silva
Abstract: This study sought to select the best cycling route in the metropolitan region of Cuiabá-MT, considering the opinions of cyclists. To achieve this objective, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was applied, which is a multicriteria decision analysis model. For data collection, an online form was made available in the groups of cyclists in the studied region. The responses of 15 cyclists who presented Consistency Ratio values lower than 0.1 were selected. The socioeconomic profile of the cyclists was collected, and the following results were obtained; the majority are men, single, aged between 20 and 30 years, with incomplete higher education, monthly income of more than 5 minimum wages and residents in the city of Cuiabá. They pedal alone, are beginners, cycle once a week, covering a distance of less than 20 km, 13.33% have already suffered accidents and 53.33% do not use any safety equipment. The results of this work showed that the main criterion that influenced the choice of routes is safety (0.38), followed by infrastructure (0.28), proximity to home (0.18) and topography (0.16). Regarding the cycling routes, Route 4 (Exit to Chapada/Coxipó do Ouro) was in first place with 0.33, followed by Route 1 (Exit to Rondonópolis) with 0.27, Route 2 (Exit to Santo Antônio do Leverger with 0.21 and, finally, Route 3 (Departure to Cáceres) with 0.19. It is hoped that this study can be used as a reference and be an instrument to aid decision-making in the planning of cycling routes in other regions of the country.

- Use of velvet bean and vermicompost as organic fertilizer for lettuce in
Mozambique
Authors: Delton Inácio Lopes, Carlos Vergara, Karla Emanuelle Campos Araujo, Emily Campos Saraiva
Abstract: The search for fertilizers economically viable for family farmer, such as organic fertilizers, which are cheap sources of nutrients, and that preserve the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil, is an important strategy for emerging countries, such as Mozambique, to increase the income of their population. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the potential of organic fertilizers (velvet bean and vermicompost) on the yield of lettuce. An experiment under field conditions was conducted in Bandula, Manica province, Mozambique, in a randomized block design comprising split plots and 4 replications. The treatments consisted of the application of 0 (control); 2; 3.5 and 5 kg ha-1 of velvet bean or vermicompost in raised beds that later received lettuce seedlings with 4 to 8 leaves (cv. Alface EDEN). Growth indicators and lettuce yield were evaluated 70 days after transplanting. It was found that plants fertilized with 3.5 kg ha-1 of velvet bean were statistically superior to plants fertilized with vermicompost because they had greater plant height, head diameter, number of leaves, and fresh mass of the aerial part, which resulted in an increase of 40% in lettuce yield. Our results suggest that the fertilization of EDEN Lettuce with 3.5 kg ha-1 velvet bean represents a strategy to improve its yield in low nutrient input cropping systems.

Abstract: This study aimed to identify the level of knowledge about financial education among high school students from public schools, as well as their socioeconomic profile; consumption and saving habits; sources of information on the topic; the types of approach to financial education received by high school students in Tefé-Amazonas. The survey was carried out with 253 students from six schools through a printed questionnaire. Among the students interviewed, 52.6% were female, 43.1% male and 4.3% did not want to answer. Ages ranged from 15 to 24 years. As for the socioeconomic level, the majority declared a monthly family income of up to two minimum wages, with the mother as the person who contributed the most to the income. Most do not have any source of income from work or internship, receiving some money from their parents and generally being able to use it however they want. The habit of saving was present in most responses, but for less than half of them there is some money left over at the end of the month. The school was considered the largest source of information on financial education, followed by the internet. Regarding knowledge, students felt more secure when the topics addressed money, savings, investment, conscious consumption and classification of expenses. Lack of knowledge about the interest charged by credit card companies and insecurity about monetary correction can make respondents more susceptible to debt.

Abstract: The present work aims to see the multiple understandings about the discussions about the environment and about the development logics that are being explored more and more every day. Seeking to understand the different perspectives and approaches, inside and outside the walls that guard the academic community of the State University of Paraíba. Methodologically, its structuring relied both on quantitative aspects, while data were collected through questionnaires on Google Forms, and on qualitative aspects, through the use of a second research profile, of an exploratory nature, through from diverse sources, such as e-books, doctoral theses and articles focused on the area. Therefore, throughout the research, we were able to observe the level of knowledge of academics and civil society as a whole about the proposed themes, as well as their level of complexity. collected data and their particularities, which express the limited point of view on knowledge of environmental education and the use of renewable energies, showing a lack of understanding or a very superficial understanding of the global importance of the theme, as well as the Homeric impact that both can cause in the lives of individuals, directly or indirectly, not to mention the awareness and preservation of the environment. It is concluded that environmental education should be more worked on in the early years so that people can reflect that it is everyone's duty to respect the limitations of natural resources.

- Symptoms and diagnosis of brain abscess: an integrative literature review
Authors: Bárbara Queiroz de Figueiredo, Gabriel Henrique Nogueira Marques, Ana Luiza Macedo Gonçalves Batista, Guilherme Aparecido Gomes da Silva, Katiuscia Silva Machado, Lara Lima Pereira da Cunha, Mário Felipe Ruiz Gonçalves Cardoso, Rafaela Miranda Proto Pereira, Reinaldo Luiz de Souza, Rogério da Silva Marques
Abstract: Brain abscess is an expansive lesion and most of its manifestations derive from this mass effect on the brain parenchyma. This presentation usually consists of the triad: headache, fever and focal neurological deficits, however, current literature states that this relationship has greater specificity than sensitivity, since most patients do not present the triad at diagnosis. In this direction, it is seen that the alteration in mental status is of greater coherence to the expansive effect of the lesion, being considered a more representative association of the brain abscess. To this extent, neuroimaging techniques are performed in patients who present acute or chronic infectious conditions originating from the possible sources of contamination, associated with a symptomatology with seizures, focal neurological deficits or signs of increased intracranial pressure. Thus, neuroradiological diagnosis distinguishes the lesion that presents as a hypodensity on CT, hypointensity on MRIT1 and hyperintensity on MRIT2 and FLAIR, associated with an enhancing border, characteristic of brain abscess and important in the differential diagnosis.

consumption after stroke: systematic review
Authors: Ana Paula de Carvalho Souza, Bárbara Leite da Silva, Janaína de Moraes Silva, Tassiane Maria Alves Pereira
Abstract: The study is a systematic review with the objective of evaluating the effects of High Intensity Interval Training (TIAI) on the increase in peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) after stroke. The search was carried out in the MEDLINE electronic databases through the BVS database, in PubMed, SciELO, Lilacs and in the Cochrane Library database through the following terms indexed in DeCS and MeSH in English “Stroke”, “High Intensity Interval Training” and “Oxygen Consumption”. Studies available in full, without restriction. There was no restriction regarding ethnicity, age or gender. Duplicate, incomplete studies, those that did not measure the VO2peak before and after the intervention or partially presented data were excluded. A total of 3473 studies were found, of which only seven were included. All studies obtained an increase in VO2peak after TIAI sessions as a result. The increase in the participants' VO2peak occurred after training sessions lasting around 30 to 40 minutes, with average intervals of 30 seconds. It is concluded that TIAI can be an effective strategy to improve the cardiorespiratory fitness of people who have suffered a stroke by increasing VO2peak.

surgeries
Authors: Ana Carolina de Almeida Lima, Mara Nogueira de Araújo, Sergio Henrique Simonetti
Abstract: Objective: To identify the incidence of Pressure Injury in patients admitted to cardiac surgery upon admission to the Intensive Care Unit. Method: Cross-sectional and prospective study. Performed in the postoperative period of Adult Cardiac Surgery in a large public hospital. The sample of this study is composed of 99 patients through their own initiative. Data collection was carried out by filling out a semi-structured form containing sociodemographic and health variables, postoperative variables and those related to pressure injuries through the information received via the patient's electronic medical record. Result: In the present study, an incidence of pressure injury of 8.1% is evident, with the most gradual classifications at university level II (62%), followed by degree I (50%), deep tissue pressure injury (25 %) and finally, injuries not classifiable and by medical devices with 12%. As for the affected site, the sacral region was identified (75%), followed by the left and right calcaneus, left gluteal (25% in each) and other sites such as the right gluteal, labial, trochanter, malleolus and occipital (12%). Mortality was higher in patients who developed pressure injuries and the main reason for not being postoperative was the presence of arrhythmia. Conclusion: The findings showed the existence of an association between pressure injuries in clinical conditions and procedures performed in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery. Whit that, the nurse's prior knowledge of predictors and complications to alleviate the occurrence of pressure injuries is essential to improve the quality of life and patient safety.

Authors: Patrícia Santos Brito, Jaianne Oliveira Leão Silva, Jainne Oliveira Leão Silva, Jean Sousa Almeida, Taynara Amorim Silva, Juliana Gomes Cezar, Lázaro Silva Sousa, Denise Alves Silva, Verônica Alves Campos, Lucas Brito dos Santos
Abstract: Population aging is intensified by the reduction in the number of births and the drop in mortality, despite this, this phase is surrounded by prejudice, which influences the sociocultural construction of myths and taboos about sexuality in old age. This study has as main objective to identify in the scientific literature the importance of sexuality in the health of the elderly. This is an integrative literature review study, with searches for articles in the databases available in the VHL (Virtual Health Library), such as LILACS (Latin American Literature in Health Sciences), MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval Sistem online) and BDENF (Nursing Database), from June to September 2022. Eight articles were selected in the databases, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, showing that most of the elderly researched in the studies declared the importance of sexuality in old age, as well as the influence of the practice on quality of life. It is concluded that the elderly understand sexuality and its active practice, as well as its numerous benefits, in addition to being fully aware of their needs and desires, however, they are still afraid of the prejudice and stigma that unfortunately still exists in around old age. It was also confirmed the existence of several factors that hinder the satisfactory sexual practice of the elderly and the low knowledge about Sexually Transmitted Infections and low adherence to the use of condoms.

of Brazil
Authors: Maria Carolina Silva Meireles Ferreira, Renara Natalia Cerqueira Silva, Isadora Martins Assunção Rodrigues, Caroline Nogueira Paranhos
Abstract: Introduction: With the social isolation resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, student access to classrooms was extremely limited, especially during the beginning, when Universities were closed. From then on, the Ministry of Health, together with the Ministry of Education, approved the use of Distance Education for the Medicine Course. Objective: to analyze the benefits and limitations of Distance Education in Medicine during the pandemic, the acceptance, the possible failures in student learning and the effects on non-cognitive skills. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive, quantitative study with undergraduate medical students from a teaching institution in the city of Teresina - PI. An online questionnaire was used to reach undergraduate students. Results and Discussion: Knowledge about the ambivalence between the benefits and limitations of Distance Education brings with it, in addition to the technological potential itself, the individual impact on the personal skills of those who are in training. Conclusion: Once Distance Education has been established in many educational institutions, this resource imposes studies and evaluations on its addition in the current scenario, since, in addition to technical knowledge, it requires, on the part of medical students, the development of non-cognitive skills, such as the active search for learning, leadership and overcoming procrastination.

Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Carmen Cardilo Lima, Gisele Simas dos Santos , Grace Angela da Silva Martins, Guilherme Lemos Imbelloni, Sandra Helena de Oliveira, Widson Silva Gama do Santos
Abstract: This study aims to evaluate through a bibliographic survey the risk of Pressure Injury (PPL) in patients hospitalized in Intensive Care Units (ICU), identifying their related risks and analyzing the main prevention measures and the importance of nursing. A qualitative study of descriptive character, for its elaboration, a literature review was carried out, seeking to achieve the proposed objective. PPL is characterized by changes in the skin, usually close to regions of bony prominence, where a lot of pressure occurs. The injury usually occurs through determinants such as the intensity and duration of pressure associated with tolerance tissues to withstand a certain pressure. Risk factors are: Mobility and impaired activity, sensory perception, factors that reduce the factor tolerance (extrinsic and intrinsic). Prevention and care are a challenge for the team due to the and the high costs to deal with the consequences of the emergence. Nurses use some instruments such as the Braden scale that helps identify the patient at risk and also the risk factors that are associated with assisting in taking decisions for the planning of preventive measures. It is important to conduct further studies on the subject to help in the prevention and treatment of PPL, encouraging the search for new research, in order to inform about the updates of the subject, benefiting the readers in search of innovation, and health itself.

Authors: Evaldo da Costa Sá Borges de Rezende, Daniel Sorna Labeca Guerra, Carlos Eduardo Alexandre Silva, Ângela Carolline Alcântara Negrão, Emerson André Negrão do Nascimento, Waltair Maria Martins Pereira
Abstract: Leprosy, a transmissible infectious disease whose agent, Mycobacterium leprae, causes skin lesions and neuropathies. Because it is endemic in Brazil, the Ministries of Health and Education established a specific agenda for prevention and health promotion in public schools through the Health at School Program. This experience report was able to develop health education activities on leprosy, associated with the active search for spots on the skin of students and family members of the Municipal Elementary School and provide a pedagogical instrument on leprosy control for Community Health Agents of the Riacho Doce Family Health Strategy. The methodology followed the Situational Strategic Planning, for the elaboration of the operations treated for the production of the early detection rate of leprosy, combating the information about the disease and the abandonment of the active search. The presentation of a theatrical play proved to be pedagogically efficient in passing on knowledge about leprosy prevention to Elementary School students; adaptation of the protection sheet adopted by the Ministry of Health, facilitating the active search process. The simplified booklet represents a learning tool for Community Health Agents. The pathogenic results show the importance of early diagnosis as well as evidenced the need for emergence and systematization of health promotion activities, greater interaction between the health of the Community, families and work teams. The integration between Education and Health Institutions proved to be effective, both in the practice of students and in the involvement of actors in the territory.

- Study on water savings through reuse of rainwater
Authors: Paulo Giovani Saraiva de Oliveira, Maurício de Sousa Pereira
Abstract: Water is an essential natural resource for life on the planet, whether as a biochemical component of living beings, as a means of life for various plant and animal species, as a representative element of social and cultural values and even as a production factor for various goods. final and intermediate consumption. However, the growing population has increased the demand for this good. On the other hand, the supply of potable water becomes increasingly scarce to meet the diverse needs of the population. Given this scenario, it is essential to implement methodologies that enhance the rational use of water. Water resources come from various natural sources, such as aquifers, groundwater and rivers, essentially for the existence of all living beings, which is the essential reason why society is increasingly concerned with the availability of water. fresh water on our planet. Therefore, it is necessary to study ways to reuse rainwater as a way to save and preserve drinking water. In this research work, a study was carried out on the feasibility of using rainwater throughout the country, taking into account the differences in rainfall. Thus, for this purpose, it was necessary to identify the rainfall regime of the different Brazilian capitals through the National Institute of Meteorology (INMET) database, determine the volumes of rainwater reservoirs for each situation and evaluate the influence of the rainfall regime on the potential for rainwater harvesting.

- Evaluation of methods for update of wind mapping in the State of Alagoas
Authors: Luan Santos de Oliveira Silva, Rosiberto Salustiano da Silva Junior, Roberto Fernando da Fonseca Lyra, Fernando Ramos Martins, Marcos Antônio Lima Moura, João Bosco Verçosa Leal Junior, Kelvy Rosalvo Alencar Cardoso
Abstract: The present work presents the study of wind mapping in the state of Alagoas, northeastern Brazil, using the mesoscale model Weather Research Forecast (WRF), version (4.1.2), and approximations of atmospheric stability and terrain slope. The simulations were run daily for a period of 8 years (2007 - 2015), with a horizontal resolution of 5 km and a resolution refinement to 250 meters. They were statistically validated with data from 5 surface anemometric stations located in the following cities: Água Branca (hinterland), Girau do Ponciano (wild), Palmeira dos Índios (wild), Maragogi (coast) and Roteiro (coast). The order of magnitude and similar wind pattern results for the 5km and 250m resolutions indicate good representation by the WRF atmospheric model, as well as validating the proposed downscaling method. Being the moderate correlation indices, BIAS between -1.89 to 1.76 m/s and REQM between 1.94 to 3.82 m/s for wind speed and predominant wind direction varying between East/Southeast. The spatial comparison of the results with simulations of the WAsP model reinforces that the inclusion of atmospheric stability and slope made it possible to represent with greater clarity the effect of topography and surface roughness, which is crucial for reducing the cascade of uncertainties in the wind energy system. The refinement of the output of the WRF model highlighted the promising areas for wind use in the mountainous regions of the cities of Água Branca and Palmeira dos Índios, with annual intensity above 8m/s for 100m of height.

An analysis of early childhood
Authors: Giovana Rodrigues Puga, Anna Beatriz de Souza Piedade, Letícia Morais Caldas , Flávia Lobato Maciel
Abstract: Objective: To carry out a critical analysis of the results of the use of therapeutic hypothermia (HT) in newborns (NBs) affected with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), with emphasis on mortality and neurodevelopment outcomes during early childhood. Methodology: This is a systematic review carried out through searches in the indexed platforms: PubMed, Lilacs, Cochrane and BVS, using the descriptors in English: “effects”, “hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy” and “induced hypothermia”, separated by the Boolean operator (AND). Complete clinical trial articles were included, in Portuguese or English, published between 2012 and 2022, whose target population consisted of NBs, of both sexes, diagnosed with neonatal hypoxia or HIE, who underwent treatment with TH. Furthermore, only articles that emphasized mortality and neurodevelopmental outcomes from discharge to early childhood were selected. Results: The present study had a final sample of 4 articles. Through the analysis of the selected studies, it was noticed that TH acts through neuroprotection mechanisms, favoring the inhibition of the inflammatory cascade induced during the development process of HIE, helping to reduce brain injury and consequently decreasing the rates of morbidity and mortality of patients affected with HIE, contributing to the full development of children. Conclusion: The neuroprotective effect of TH is capable of reducing the presence of neurological sequelae and decreasing mortality rates in the pediatric/neonatal population affected by HIE.

- Preparation and characterization of fermented based coconut extract (Cocos
Nucifera) with cajá pulp (Spondias Mombin L)
Authors: Jéssica Mariana Silva Soares, Mayra da Silva Cavalcanti
Abstract: The high incidence of individuals with allergies, food intolerance and those who choose not to use food of animal origin as a lifestyle, causes them to exclude milk and derivatives from their diet, a behavior that can lead to nutritional deficiencies. To avoid deficits, the demand for substitutes for cow's milk was increased. Thus, plant extracts emerge as promising replacements. The objective of this research was to develop a fermented drink based on coconut with cajá pulp, to analyze it physicochemically, microbiologically and to evaluate its potential for substituting the fermented milk base. The coconut extract was prepared and then the preparation of the probiotic drink was carried out, after fermentation, the cajá pulp was added to one of the formulations. The products were evaluated for physical-chemical parameters (pH, total acidity, water content, total dry extract, fixed mineral residue, soluble solids and lipids), viability of microorganisms and microbiological quality. It was found that the fermented products met the physicochemical requirements established for such food, in addition to having shown probiotic potential by containing lactic acid bacteria exhibiting values greater than 106 CFU/mL, and absence of total coliforms, molds and yeasts. Furthermore, a lack of specific legislation for fermented vegetables was identified. It was observed that the elaboration of the fermented drink can positively influence the commercialization of probiotic and lactose-free products, so that the fermented product demonstrates good physical-chemical and microbiological characteristics. However, still needing to be tested for sensory and technological analysis of the product class.

- Dermatofunctional physiotherapy treatment in abdominal lipodystrophy:
review
Authors: Natália de Azevedo Faccio Simionato
Abstract: Localized lipodystrophy corresponds to the accumulation of fat in specific regions of the body, not related to obesity. There are several dermatofunctional physiotherapy treatments for localized lipodystrophy. The aim of this study was to carry out a review of the most current literature on dermatofunctional physiotherapy treatments for lipodystrophy located in the abdominal region. A literature review was carried out by selecting articles in the Bireme, Lilacs, Scielo and Google Scholar databases, in Portuguese, between 2020 and 2023, through the intersection of the words “localized fat”, “localized lipodystrophy”, or “localized adiposity”, with the expression “dermatofunctional physiotherapy”. Among the 284 articles found, 10 were selected, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The works found addressed the electrotherapeutic resources frequently used in the treatment of localized lipodystrophy, such as: radiofrequency, electrolipolysis, cryolipolysis, carboxytherapy, excitomotor current, ultrasound, among others. It was concluded that there are several current treatments in the area of dermatofunctional physiotherapy, all with positive effects on lipodystrophy, enhanced when associated with each other. The association with a guided diet, change of life habits and practice of physical exercises is essential for faster and more effective results.

Abstract: This research is justified by its academic, scientific and social relevance, based on presenting relevant and eligible scientific updates regarding robotic surgery, as well as its contributions in different axes and complexity of procedures. Thus, the objective was defined: to confront in the scientific literature, the perspective of different authors regarding robotic surgery. In order for clear answers to be found, this research was carried out through an integrative literature review, carried out through a bibliographical survey in the scientific databases: LILACS, SCIELO and MEDLINE. By defining the eligibility criteria and data collection, 8 studies were selected to compose the sample results. Based on the analysis of the selected studies, the evidenced results found that The updated scientific evidence indicates that robotic surgery technology shares advantages that reduce mortality rates, risks, patient exposure time, invasive procedures, fast recovery, and especially, in the aesthetic improvement of the incisions. Thus, assisted surgeries have been gaining space and advances, especially in the scientific axis that involves research. Allied to this, it can be seen that among the strategies that encourage this defense, there are the advantages and contributions that robotic surgery can provide during operations and the benefits that favor the patient, compared to common conventional surgery. Allied to this, scientific evidence is still limited, therefore, it is proposed that more studies be carried out on the subject, especially in the context of complex surgeries.

Authors: Maria Luísa De Bortoli Alves, Vanessa Marcolina, Isabelli Francio Pissaia, Matheus Sousa Hauagge, Andréia Dal'Bosco
Abstract: Objective: to perform the epidemiological delineation about non-melanoma skin carcinomas, regarding the evaluation of the most affected gender, age group, race, classification, anatomical site and main reconstructions performed. Method: Descriptive study on the epidemiological profile of patients with non-melanoma skin neoplasms, between the years 2019 and 2021, in the surgical center of the Polyclinic Institute of Pato Branco - PR. Data collection occurred through the analysis of medical records. Data were submitted to statistical analysis using STATA MP 14.1 software (StataCorp, College Station, TX, USA). Results: We analyzed 390 patients, 54.8% were male and 94.6% had white skin. Regarding the anatomical site, most cases were located on the face (37.7%), followed by the nose (20.8%) and upper limbs (10.1%). There was a predominance of BCC, corresponding to 70% of the cases, followed by SCC, with 28%. Regarding the type of reconstruction, primary suture was the predominant procedure with 46.2%, followed by flap-type reconstruction with 44.2%. Conclusions: The highest prevalence rates were among white men, with a mean age over 65 years, with lesions predominantly in the head and neck, and flap as the main reconstruction mechanism. Despite the low mortality of non-melanoma skin neoplasms, it has high morbidity. Thus, it is important that prevention measures, directly related to risk factors already known, as well as their control, are priority actions in the context of health care in Brazil.

The pathogenesis of thyroid cancer considers mutations leading to progression through a process of dedifferentiation generating well-differentiated carcinomas, such as papillary and follicular, and progressing to poorly differentiated, undifferentiated or anaplastic thyroid carcinomas. Objective: To describe the main molecular alterations for the development of PTC. Methodology: This is a narrative review. The databases PUBMED, SCIELO, Science Direct, Google Scholar and the National Cancer Institute were used. As inclusion/exclusion criteria, articles comprised between 2004 and 2022, in Portuguese and English. Results and discussion: PTC molecular alterations arise from the initial mutation in some gene involved in the regulation of proliferation and/or cell differentiation, leading to clonal expansion of the genetically modified cell due to its ability to proliferate and escape cell cycle control through changes in genes such as BRAF, KRAS, NTRK1 and RET. Conclusion: The onset and progression of thyroid cancer comprises multiple genetic changes, including mutations that lead to activation of MAPK and PI3K-AKT signaling pathways. Altered genes that affect this pathway include mutations in genes encoding RAS and BRAF intracellular signal transducers and rearrangements in RET/PTC receptor tyrosine kinase. These data are extremely important for understanding the pathophysiological mechanism of this condition, as well as providing the basis for a more assertive diagnosis and more specific treatment, providing a more favorable prognosis with fewer side effects.

Authors: Luiz Felipe Neves Frazão, Matheus Neres Batista, Victor Vinicius da Cruz Souza, Najara Micaela Peixoto de Moura, Pedro de Oliveira Batista Basílio , Jeferson Lopes de Oliveira Júnior , Pedro Henrique de Souza Lopes, Bruno Henrique Barbosa Sabino da Costa
Abstract: The objective of this study is to analyze the main complications arising from laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and, as a secondary objective, to identify risk factors that lead to poor outcomes. Making it an even safer procedure for the patient. The study is a narrative review of research on CL. A search for articles was carried out in the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrievel System Online (MEDLINE) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) databases with the following Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS): Cholecystectomy Laparoscopic; Cholecystectomy; General Surgery; Intraoperative Complications; Risk Factors, totaling 20 articles selected from both databases. Articles were selected between the periods of 2009 to 2022, in English, Portuguese and Spanish, to increase the level of relevance and quality of the review. The main complications arising from performing LC are inability to tolerate pneumopertoneum or general anesthesia, impediments to the correct identification of anatomical structures, and the surgeon's inexperience, even if they are minimal. Due to the advantages that the postoperative period has and the ease of handling, LC has rapidly expanded in surgical centers. However, the incidence of ductal and arterial lesions developed at the same rate, linked to the learning of the surgical community. Thus, even with minimal mortality and complication statistics, LC needs broad attention and awareness from the entire team, whether in asepsis or in basic safety concepts.

- Is there a dental protocol for the prevention and treatment of oral
diseases in children undergoing cancer treatment' Integrative review
Authors: Júlia Castilha Buzetto, Rafaella Cassiano de Miranda Brito, José Carlos P. Imparato, Karla Mayra Rezende
Abstract: Oral health care is an integral component of interprofessional collaborative care for children and adolescents diagnosed with cancer. The current literature emphasizes that dental interventions before, during and after cancer treatment improve the quality of life and the integral restoration of health in these patients. The objective of this work was to carry out an integrative literature review on the existence of a dental protocol for the prevention and treatment of oral diseases in children undergoing cancer treatment. Articles published without restriction of years and languages and that included any of the terms as keywords: protocol, childhood cancer, oral disease, oral pathology and oral health were included. The databases used were Pubmed and, as gray literature, an open gray search was performed. The evidence presented here suggests that oral health promotion strategies can reduce the incidence, however it is necessary to develop guidelines to contribute and identify early oral diseases in these children. Thus, it is important to draw up a guide with information on prevention and treatments on oral health for hospitals and clinics specializing in the treatment of childhood cancer, as well as the presence of a pediatric dentist to work collaboratively in the team and thus track, guide, prevent and treat oral pathologies.

Abstract: The objective of this study is to determine the incidence of self-medication in university students, highlighting its main causes. It was necessary to carry out a collection in PubMed and LILACS, using the descriptors, self-medication, university students and risks. After refining the search and applying the inclusion criteria, this review compiled 11 articles that referred to the subject of this study. it was observed that the causes related to the incorrect practice of medicines, among university students, are enormous, especially in academics in the area of health sciences. Therefore, students' knowledge about the risks of self-medication may be related to the knowledge acquired during training. However, this factor is very worrying, since most of them, despite knowing the risks, are supporters of the practice. It points to the need to strengthen the education of university students, especially in the area of health sciences, with regard to the rational use of medicines.

Abstract: Breastfeeding is a key factor for the development and growth of the baby, especially in the first six months of life. When addressing issues about breastfeeding and early weaning, there are relevant factors such as nipple trauma, as it will directly result in breastfeeding. The objective of the study was to evaluate the perception of breastfeeding reported by lactating women and compare it with the LACTH questionnaire, in a sample of infants from a maternal and child ward at the University Hospital of Western Paraná. The present research is a cross-sectional study, developed with newborns born at the Maternity Hospital of the West of Paraná University Hospital - HUOP, from June to September 2022, with the application of the LATCH questionnaire and a guided interview. The final sample of this research consisted of 82 live newborns of both sexes and gestational age ≥ 37 weeks. With regard to newborns who presented breastfeeding difficulties, there was a significance level (p = 0.0029). Isolated factors can comprise the adaptation phase during breastfeeding, but the difficulties must be resolved, as a means of strengthening the maternal bond with the newborn. It is concluded that newborns without difficulty had a significantly higher LATCH.

- Enterocutaneous and enteroatmospheric fistulas - therapeutics and nursing:
literature review
Authors: Gabriela de França Costa, Hellen Carolyne Andrade de Oliveira, Mirce Meire Gonçalves de Sousa Wilk
Abstract: The present study aimed to analyze, through a literature review, the therapeutic conduction of nursing and other health professionals to enterocutaneous and enteroatmospheric fistulas, especially post-anastotic fistulas. For this, a literature review was conducted, with searches conducted from August to November 2022, in the electronic databases VHL, PubMed and Scielo, in the following languages: Portuguese, English and Spanish. This research was based on the descriptors found in the DeCS and MeSH, and considering inclusion and exclusion criteria determined by the authors. A total of 2015 articles were found: 727 from the VHL, 1288 from PubMed and without results found in Scielo. Of these, 1275 were excluded because they were duplicated and the other 740 had a title and abstract read. At the end of the analysis, 21 articles were selected because they attended the research. It was possible to conclude that the care of people with enterocutaneous and enteroatmospheric fistulas in the clinical scope has a multidisciplinary approach. It is certain, therefore, that nursing plays an important role in this management and despite the scarcity of studies specifically addressing the subject, it was possible to identify the main nursing care that should be considered in this management.

Abstract: Introduction: One third of individuals living with major depressive disorder do not respond to antidepressant-based treatment. Suicidal ideation is a frequently present aggravating factor that is possibly lethal if not understood. The difficult control of the wide symptomatology related to depression in certain patients demonstrates the need for new and efficient therapeutic strategies. It was verified that ketamine presents antidepressant results when manipulated in subanesthetic doses. This research aims to verify the antidepressant potential of ketamine on major depressive disorder and resistant depressive disorder in scientific productions published between 2017 and 2022. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review. After searching the Virtual Health Library database, 100 publications were found, but only 12 articles met the inclusion criteria. Results and discussion: The NDMA receptor blockade promoted by ketamine is indicated as the cause of the rapid attenuation of depressive symptoms, which restores the synaptic dynamics of some maladjusted glutamatergic pathways in depressive disorders, restores the neural activity of important circuits related to stress, resilience and mood regulation, essentially modulating the emotional cognitive control function. In addition, it acts by regulating dysfunctional immunoinflammatory reactions involved in the pathophysiology of depression. Conclusion: The use of ketamine for the treatment of major depressive disorder and resistant depressive disorder has expressive and relevant results that make it a strong candidate to compose the arsenal adopted by international guidelines.

- Psychomotor work in early childhood education
Authors: Mariana Regina Gonçalves Pio, Marco Aurélio Gonçalves Nóbrega dos Santos
Abstract: Psychomotricity can be defined as a science that presents the connection between the psychic and the movement, favoring the development of the motor, affective, cognitive and social aspects. Psychomotor work in early childhood education is relevant, as the child is in a stage of discovery, of himself and the world around him. Based on this premise, this study aimed to review the literature, from 2015 to 2021, on the relationship between psychomotricity and early childhood education. The data search was carried out in the Google Scholar, Periodical Capes and Scielo databases, yielding 962 titles, and of these, 9 met the inclusion criteria and were reviewed. It was found that psychomotricity is part of the integral development of the child, and when well worked, it serves as a bridge to the learning of reading and writing. Therefore, it is essential that the teacher be a stimulator in the psychomotor work of children, getting involved with the subject, with the particularities of each one, and planning their work with a comprehensiveness of all the basic psychomotor factors.

the Dental Clinic of the Catholic University of Cuenca
Authors: Jose Daniel Álvarez Aguilar, Andrea Paola Pérez Mora
Abstract: Objective: To relate smile type with gingival phenotype in patients at the Catholic University of Cuenca dental clinic. Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive observational study, which included clinical records made by the lead researcher, based on observational and clinical parameters. The type of smile was defined as high, medium, or low. The North Caroline periodontal probe transparency method was applied. It was applied to all those patients over 18 years of age with upper incisors inside the mouth and who were admitted to the No.1 dental clinic of the Catholic University of Cuenca from 14h00 to 16h00 during November 2022, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The total number of patients who attended dental care during the month of November was 83, of whom 32 had a high smile, 36 medium and 15 low. On the other hand, 66 patients had a thick phenotype, of which 34 had a medium smile and 17 had a thin phenotype. Conclusions: The medium smile prevailed in most patients at 43.3%, and thick gingival phenotype with 79.5%. Both factors were observed in the same patient in 40.9% of the cases. Therefore, this study helped us to determine the correlation between the average smile type and the thick gingival phenotype.

by Cerebral Vascular Accident: An integrative review
Authors: Antonia Juliana de Souza Sá, Antonia Dávila Fontenele de Carvalho, Ana Virgínia Marques Costa Costa, David Gomes Araújo Júnior, Francisco José Oliveira de Vasconcelos Carvalho, Francisco Walisson de Araújo, Michele Santos da Silva
Abstract: The objective of this review was to identify in the literature the factors that limit the access of post-stroke individuals to physiotherapeutic treatment in health systems. The search was carried out in the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, BVS, Cochrane, Embase, Pedro and Scielo and, in order to complement the search, gray literature (Google Academic) was used. The following search terms were used: “strokes”, “therapeutic”, “publichealth”, “accesshealthservices”, “physiotherapy” present in Mesh and DeCS. The search included articles from the last 6 years, in Portuguese, English and Spanish. 1991 articles were found, after applying the criteria for inclusion and elimination of duplicates, 13 articles were analyzed, in which 10 answered the research question. The analyzed studies pointed out difficulties in accessing physiotherapeutic rehabilitation, the barriers that prevent admission were similar, being lack of referral, difficulty in moving to rehabilitation centers, unavailability of vacancy, bureaucracy in scheduling and long waiting time. In general, it was seen that there are still difficulties to get treatment, in which, according to the studies, access to physiotherapeutic treatment was seen as difficult to reach and insufficient, being related to financial, physical and bureaucratic issues. In this way, the studies carried out allowed us to know the status of post-stroke patients' access to physiotherapeutic care, which enables the development of strategies aimed at improving accessibility to rehabilitation services.

- Kaili traditional classification: the customs influence on Kaili
Kingdom’s authority in Palu Valley
Authors: Haliadi Sadi, Dwi Septiwiharti, Mutawakkil Mutawakkil
Abstract: This article aims to analyze the influence of adat on the sustainability of the patanggota system in Kaili Land. This article focuses on the traditional classification of the Kaili people in the Palu Valley who adhere to the patanggota system, namely the kingdoms of Tavaeli, Palu and Tatanga. This research was conducted using historical methodology through an anthropological approach. The main sources of this research are royal documents, while the secondary sources are journals and books made by local Kaili humanists, as well as interviews with traditional leaders and Kaili nobility. These sources are criticized and interpreted, then written in the form of research articles. This article discusses the assumption that the principles of traditional Kaili society are static, especially the cultural values of leadership in the kingdom, as expressed by local culturalists from the perspective of cultural anthropology such as Suaib Djafar, Masyhuddin Masyhuda, and Jaruddin Abdullah. Meanwhile, other local humanists such as Mattulada and Haliadi who focus on the perspective of cultural history state that these principles are already dynamic because they accept new changes.

transaction
Authors: Lucas Moscatel de Andrade, Ana Caroline Rodrigues Madureira, Wilker José Caminha dos Santos, Thiago Nicolau Magalhães de Sousa Conte
Abstract: The article aims to analyze the digital minting process of a cryptocurrency derived from Ethereum, this work aims to demonstrate the reduction of energy consumption in the creation of this cryptocurrency. This article also contributes to the growth of work that will be carried out in the future in the crypto asset segment. That said, this study addresses all the steps related to creation, which had the following phases from opening a digital wallet for storage, to minting, defining the amount and network as the basis for the constitution of a cryptocurrency. The methodology used was the qualitative method, this method describes the empirical knowledge that involves the concept and definitions of new crypto asset technologies. It was possible to conclude that, from the networks analyzed in the process of minting and energy consumption, Ethereum contributes in a more beneficial way to its users and the environment. To complete these benefits, Ethereum will support 100,000 transactions per second in version 2.0, in addition, it will need less computational power for validation, it also aims at efficiency in the energy needed to validate operations, which causes less electrical energy spent, therefore, there is much less energy consumption, moreover in a more concrete way, decentralization and price appreciation.

- Profile of sales and notifications of suspected adverse events related to
hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Nathalia Oliveira Martins, Carina de Morais Neves, Cristiane de Paula Rezende
Abstract: The goal of this study is to describe the profile of hydroxychloroquine sales and reports of suspected adverse events related to chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a descriptive study which data were extracted from the Industrialized Drug Sales Panel and the Pharmacovigilance Notification Panel. The results show that 1.862.978 boxes of hydroxychloroquine were sold in the period of April 01,2020 to August 31,2021, with an average of 109.586 boxes sold per month (median=110.318; minimum=72.042; maximum=187.752). Also, 1.064 notifications involving chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine were realized in the period of March 01,2020 to August 31, 2021 and more than half of them (n=617.57.8%) were documented by June 2020, while only 40 were recorded in January/2021 to August/2021. These findings were correlated with scientific evidence, as in vitro and preliminary studies, published at the beginning of the pandemic, found important results regarding the use of these medications to treat COVID-19. However, in mid-2020, more robust studies indicated that these agents were not effective in treating or preventing COVID-19, and to being unsafe for the patient. Consequently, the use of these drugs in Brazilian hospitals had declined. This fact justified the reduction of notifications involving these drugs, since the detection and notification of adverse events often occur in the hospital environment, where the patient is constantly monitored. Despite the evidence that hydroxychloroquine is not effective to prevent/treat COVID-19, the sales profile remained high during the period evaluated indicating how the social and political incentive influenced Brazilians to use these medications.

a nursing home: an experience report
Authors: Victor Alexandre Santos Gomes, Ana Julia Silva de Souza, Pollyanna Ribeiro Damasceno, Brenda Stéfane da Silva Cardoso, Yana Cordeiro Uchoa, Maiara Maia Lima, Yara Macambira Santana Lima
Abstract: Human aging is a natural biological process marked by a set of diverse experiences that are influenced by the multiplicity of genetic, physiological, social, environmental, psychological, and cultural factors. In this sense, the increase in this age group is associated with healthy and active aging. Thus, this work aims to train caregivers of a Philanthropic Home to implement alternative therapies with the elderly. Therefore, this work is an experience report based on the Arco de Maguerez. In which it began with a visit carried out on June 6, 2022, with the purpose of recognizing the usual reality of the institution. During the visit, it was noted that the institution has the support of a team of health professionals focused on the curative method. However, it is noteworthy that the home needs more resources, both care and administrative, to provide care and provide a better quality of life for the elderly who live in it, with two training sessions being carried out with the caregivers of the nursing home on complementary therapies. Soon, after identifying the professional and structural demands, it was suggested planning actions and activities that could be carried out in the home for the elderly, involving professionals and available resources in order to minimize the problems encountered.

room: an integrative review
Authors: Wanderson Paiva dos Santos, Mirce Meire Gonçalves de Souza Wilk
Abstract: The objective was to identify the contributions of perioperative nursing to patient safety in the operating room. Methods: This is an integrative literature review, using the PICO strategy to search for articles. Results: Most studies pointed out the implementation of the safe surgery checklist as the main contribution of perioperative nursing. Other authors point out nursing contributions in partnership with other members of the health team. The contributions are related to the patient's emotional preparation during the surgery; perioperative pause to improve handoff and; nursing interventions in the operating room to reduce infection rates. Conclusion: This study showed that perioperative nursing directly contributes to anesthetic-surgical patient safety through management and care interventions and also through effective communication with the multidisciplinary team. It is important to carry out empirical studies that demonstrate the contributions of perioperative nursing to patient safety in the surgical environment.

changes in eating habits in university students in the northern region of
brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Maria Railane Ribeiro Travassos, Thiago Renan da Silva e Silva, Débora Alves Guariglia, Wagner Jorge Ribeiro Domingues
Abstract: Objective: To verify the influence of physical activity level (PAL) on body mass index (BMI) and eating habits in college students during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, using an online questionnaire with college students from northern Brazil of both genders (40.3% men; 59.4% women) with a mean age of 26.2 ± 8.6 years, BMI (kg/m²) 25.1 ± 5.9, and was obtained by the ratio between body mass (kg) divided by height (m) squared, self-reported. The evaluation of eating habits was performed using an online questionnaire, based on the scale of dietary assessment according to the Brazilian Population Food Guide. Results: Habits data show that 28.3% never take any food with them for consumption throughout the day. No significant associations were found between physical activity level (active 51.2% and inactive 46.7%) and BMI (normal), P=0.444. Conclusion: Additionally, only one variable had significance between physical activity level and eating habits (P = 0.033), for the other variables there was no significant association (P>0.05).

- Use of Baccharis sylvestris species by indigenous Pankararu people: from
traditional practices to pharmacological perspectives - a brief review
Authors: Pedro Henrique Nogueira de Souza, Magda Rhayanny Assunção Ferreira, Luiz Alberto Lira Soares
Abstract: Historically, traditional knowledge has been the starting point for innovative research on medicines. However, the ethnopharmacological potential related to the use of some species, such as alecrim-de-caboclo, by the Pankararu people is still ignored by the scientific community. In view of the above, the objective of this article was to compile studies that report the use of rosemary-of-boaboclo by the indigenous people of the Pankararu ethnicity, speculating its pharmacological potential based on traditional knowledge. A literature review was conducted in the PubMed, Scielo and Google Academic databases. Only 13 articles were considered relevant to the present study, 10 directly related to the traditional use of alecrim-de-caboclo by the Pankararu people: and 3 related to divergences in the botanical classification of the species in other ethnic contexts. In 10 studies the traditional use of alecrim-de-caboclo for ritualistic purposes (80% of the studies) was reported, as well as its medicinal use (70% of the studies). Although therapeutic indications were not described, use in the form of a lick suggests traditional indication for colds and flu. Of the 10 studies, only 2 identified the species used by the Pankararu indigenous people as Baccharis sylvestris. Another 3 studies, conducted in other ethnic contexts, identified the rosemary as Lippia thymoides or Turnera diffusa. Further studies need to be conducted to perform a more detailed ethnopharmacological description of the alecrim-de-caboclo in the context of the Pankararu people, including traditional indications, taxonomic confirmation, phytochemical characterization, toxicity studies, and investigation of pharmacological potentials.

The subsequent databases existed used to filter these studies: Google Scholar, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), PUBMED, International Medical and Biomedical Literature (MEDLINE), Specialized Bibliography in the Area of Nursing (BDENF), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO). For the search, the following descriptors available on the Descriptors in Health Sciences (DeCS) website were used: Nursing knowledge, Cardiopulmonary arrest and nursing care, using the Boolean operator “AND” Inclusion criterion: delimitation within the period 2012-2022, being in the Portuguese language and having addressed the theme. Exclusion criterion: repetition of studies, out of the thematic axis, and out of the above-mentioned language. Results: Distribution of the main care mentioned were: Hemodynamic monitoring, verification of vital signs and monitoring of therapeutic hypothermia, followed by blood gas collection, pervious airways, transfer to intensive care unit. Conclusion: There is a deficiency of theoretical and practical knowledge of some nursing professionals about post-CPA care. Continuous education must be prioritized since nursing professionals themselves have the technical and scientific competence to develop these skills and provide optimal care to post-CPA patients.

products
Authors: Maria Luisa Lauton Guimarães, Eduardo Bruno Macêdo Viana, Luiz Eloi da Silva, Marcia Elena Zanuto, Cassiara Camelo Eloi de Souza
Abstract: Agroindustry is one of the sectors that most produces organic waste, which is usually discarded in the environment incorrectly, leading to environmental pollution. Therefore, the use of agro-industrial co-products can contribute to reducing environmental impacts, since they are rich in bioactive compounds that act in health promotion and can be used for the development of food products with added value, representing a promising area of scientific and technological development. The objective of this study was to identify the potential of tropical fruit co-products and their use in the formulation of new food products. The literature review was performed using the electronic databases Science Direct, Scielo and PubMed, as well as Google Scholar. Complete articles published during the period 2016-2022 in Portuguese and/or English and related in a relevant and objective way to the proposed theme were included. The results showed that these co-products can be used to formulate new products such as flour, biscuits, bread, cookies, sweets, have low production cost and high nutritional and functional value. In this way, there are several benefits in the use of agro-industrial co-products from tropical fruits, being a promising alternative for innovation in the food industry, promoting health and well-being and stimulating the circular economy in a way that industry and society benefit, contributing to the development sustainability and to combat food insecurity.

- The experience of Family members regarding participation in virtual visits
to patients hospitalized in the ICU-COVID during the pandemic
Authors: Juliana dos Santos Batista, Mayara Yasmim Borges Bastos, Thamires Palma, Daniela Aceti
Abstract: Objective: To analyze the experience of family members who performed a virtual visit (VV) to patients admitted to the COVID ICU at Hospital Sírio Libanês, during the pandemic. Method: Descriptive and exploratory cross-sectional study, which used a semi-structured interview designed for this purpose. The multiple-choice questions were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the open question using the Discourse of the Collective Subject (DSC) method, which works with the analysis of empirical data of a verbal nature to configure a collective subject with a social discourse. Results and discussion: The study population consisted mostly of young adults (89.47%) male (77.60%), with higher education (65.78%), connected to the city of São Paulo (63%), who had never had participated in VV (93.42%). They considered the visit time satisfactory (88.15%) and the performance extremely important (78.94%), feeling better emotionally after the performance (92.1%). The themes identified in the experience report were categorized as: alternative to the restriction of visits, fear of contamination and distance, resource for emotional coping and grief support, family participation in the care and help in the recovery of the patient, presence of anxiety due to breach of expectations about the functioning of the visit, alternative to approaching intubated patients, for farewell and guidance by psychologists providing care and reception. Conclusion: The experience with VV was considered successful, being a resource for approaching the family, which can be extended to occasions beyond the pandemic. It is suggested to expand discussions on best practices in SV, including aspects related to safety and autonomy.

- Virtual water and soy water footprint: increasing exports in Brazilian
Amazon ports versus environmental and water risks
Authors: Vanderson Luiz de Sousa Carvalho, Eveline Vinhote de Sousa , Leidiane Leão de Oliveira , Urandi João Rodrigues Júnior, Khayth Marrony R. Nagata
Abstract: New concepts have been used to understand the multiple uses of water, an example of which is the study of virtual water and the water footprint, which can be used as indicators of efficient water use. The objective of this work was to analyze the volume of virtual water exported through the soy commodity by the ports of Arco Norte (Santarém-PA, Barcarena-PA and Itacoatiara-AM) in the period from 2015 to June 2020, and to relate the water footprint of soy in the Santarém-PA region. A large volume of virtual water is exported annually to other countries, the soybean crop is one of the crops that has been growing in Brazil, coming to the north, in the Amazon region where water resources are abundant, thus collaborating with the flow international virtual water facility. The advance of the loss of the biome can have climatic consequences, as this biome is responsible for supplying water vapor to the south and southeast of Brazil, favoring rainfall in this region, thus, an imbalance in the water resources of Brazil is possible.

- Automation of antiseptic dispenser using the Arduino platform
Authors: Anderson Alberto Martins, Elaine Cristina Faggian, Marco Aurélio Rocha, Enzo Dal Pai
Abstract: Hands are the main route of microorganisms’s transmission. Hand hygiene with the use of alcohol gel reservoirs requires physical contact between the hands and the triggering device, usually a button or lever, to release a small amount of alcohol gel. If any user of this device does not correctly use and wash their hands, microorganisms can be deposited on the button that activates the alcohol gel reservoir, which may lead to contaminants on the hands of other users of the device. The objective of this work was to develop a reservoir (dispenser) of alcohol gel for hands that does not require physical contact for activation (automatic), with the aim of investigating whether physical contact (or its absence) can interfere with microbial counts. The construction of the device proved to be feasible. There was a reduction in the bacterial load (colony forming units) in the automated device compared to the non-automated one.

Abstract: The in vitro embryo production (PIV) is a biotechnique used, alternatively, to accelerate the production of genetically superior animals, with different stages: collection and in vitro maturation of oocytes, in vitro fertilization, in vitro culture from zygotes to the blastocyst stage. PIV, in conjunction with oocyte and embryo cryopreservation, may enable large-scale commercialization of embryos, transport of pathogen-free embryos, and easier and lower-cost germplasm commercial transactions. However, it is not effective due to several factors related to the evolution of the process. Studies aim to facilitate the use of oocytes for biological and commercial reasons and better cell utilization. A narrative review of the literature was carried out, through scientific articles, dissertations, theses and books published in the databases: Scopus, PubMed, Scielo and Google Scholar, with the aim of providing an overview of this biotechnique in goats with emphasis on the description emphasizing the main methodologies currently used for oocyte collection, IVM, IVF and IVC of embryos.

- Entomophagy: a preliminary study on the perception of students of Animal
Science and Veterinary Medicine in Brazil
Authors: Antônio Victor Alves de Miranda , Pedro Washington de Arruda Alves, Marcelo Vasconcelos de Azevedo Guedes, Ayrton Manuel Silva de Araújo, Rebeca Rubeana Magalhães Wanderley, Elisabete Albuquerque dos Santos, Hilton Nobre da Costa, Júlio Cézar dos Santos Nascimento
Abstract: The research aims to prospect information related to the perception of students of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine in Brazil regarding the use and acceptance of insects and their by-products in animal and human food. A study was conducted based on objective questions in an online form designed to collect the necessary data, classified as a descriptive exploratory cross-sectional study on the subject. A total of 432 answers were distributed among the regions of Brazil, namely: Northeast (68.4%), Southeast (12.8%), South (11.4%), North (4.4%) and Midwest (3%). The results show that 76.9% of the students know about the use of insects in human and animal food, but only 48.1% would recommend insect-based feeding. Even with 84.3% not having entomophobia and knowing about entomophagy, only 30.1% would ingest a bread made from insect flour, and would recommend to other people the consumption of this type of ingredient. Finally, it is pertinent to infer that the use of insects in human and animal food, despite being known by this sample group, is still superficial and with several paradigms, which make their effective use impossible. It is suggested that entomophagy be included in the curricular projects of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine courses, so that this knowledge can really be a viable alternative for the production of alternative protein in Brazil.

Authors: Eliana Mendonça da Silva Urbano, Ivette Francisco Tavares da Silva, Verônica Pinheiro Viana, Telma Galvão de Assis Gazelle
Abstract: Descriptive study with a qualitative approach, with 27 companions of children admitted to a pediatric hospital in Rio de Janeiro. The objective was to characterize the companions of the child hospitalized in the inpatient unit awaiting an elective surgical procedure and describing their vision of safe surgery. To collect the collected data, a semi-structured interview was carried out. Data were formed from the content analysis proposed by Bardin. From the analysis, two categories emerged: Ignorance on the subject and Safe Surgery: a set of concepts. We realized that the Safe Surgery theme, as well as other international safety goals, are not widespread among study participants. It is necessary to propose and implement strategies that promote spaces for discussion and shared construction of knowledge, with a set of including the patient in patient safety issues.

Authors: Jônatas Petrus Duarte Feitosa, Sheilla Waleska de Lima Guimarães, Guilherme Santos Lins de Oliveira, Valéria Rocha Lima Sotero, Tatiana Maria Palmeira dos Santos, Larissa Isabela Oliveira de Souza, José Alfredo dos Santos Júnior
Abstract: The objective of the research was to evaluate the level of contamination of water from dental equipment and taps by: heterotrophic bacteria, Coliforms and Pseudomonas spp. Sampling and microbiological parameters were defined according to Ordinance No. 2914/2011 of the Ministry of Health. For microorganism research, the filtering membrane method was used, according to APHA. Of the seven samples analyzed, he found the presence of heterotrophic bacteria in four, with countless heterotrophic bacteria in the triple syringe, pen and hose of the equipment. He observed that there was contamination by thermotolerant coliforms in the water of all evaluated objects: faucet, triple syringe, pen and equipment hose. In the triple syringe, in turn, it was seen that 71.4% of the samples were contaminated in the EC medium and 57.1% showed coliform growth in the EMB medium. Analyzing the bacteria of the coliform group, it is noticed that all the equipment evaluated, at some point, had contamination of fecal origin, in particular the triple syringe, which only the sample of a water sample did not prove to be contaminated. The research showed the need for greater rigor in the quality control of the water in the offices so that the population is not at the mercy of infections due to this lack of asepsis.

- Analysis of changes in the skin due to the use of masks in health
professionals
Authors: Thaís Lorenzzon Colet, Alexandra Brugnera Nunes de Mattos
Abstract: COVID-19 is a disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and has a high incidence of propagation, given that its main form of contagion is through the dissemination of small viral particles, aerosols. Therefore, as a measure to control the spread of the pandemic, several government institutions have established the use of face protection masks as mandatory, encouraging their use for long periods and with abundant frequency. Therefore, this descriptive study aims to identify integumentary changes generated by the prolonged use of masks by health professionals, as well as to reveal the main triggering factors that interfere with these conditions. From this, the research methodology will be the application of an online questionnaire, in order to obtain quantitative data for analysis of skin changes, their causes, and care that can be adopted to prevent the emergence of occupational dermatoses. It was found that the microclimate of the skin plays a key role in maintaining skin permeability and antimicrobial action. External and genetic factors, such as the environment, temperature and pH are means that influence the skin barrier. The work points out that the main risk factors associated with the appearance of skin changes due to the use of the mask are, duration of use greater than 8 hours a day, masks of the N95/PFF2 type and female gender, as well as the most common dermatoses. prevalent among the studied population were acne and contact dermatitis.

- Adverse effects of inappropriate use of dietary supplements
Authors: Clistenis Clênio Cavalcante dos Santos, Kelvin Nathan dos Santos Oliveira, Eliel dos Santos Chaves
Abstract: Along with exercising, it's clear that people are concerned about improving their diets for a variety of reasons, whether it's to gain a leaner body, help with illness, or lead to a healthier old age. Therefore, the following research aims to highlight the risks of irrationally using dietary supplements. The searches were carried out through the following databases: Lilacs, Scielo, Pubmed and CAPES. Articles published between the years 2012 and 2022 were used. Among the 63 articles chosen through the abstract, after reading them, only 20 that alluded directly to the theme were used for the research. The results indicate that the use of nutritional supplements has been associated with the following benefits: increase in resistance, decrease in body fat, increase in muscle mass, minimization of the risk of diseases, muscle restoration or increase in performance during physical activity, but the abuse of these potentiating substances results in less time are not completely harmless. Daily advertisements convince people of the need for food supplements. The observed misuse of dietary supplements and medications in Brazil can be explained by the lack of strict legislation that prohibits their sale without a medical prescription or a professional nutritionist. In this way, pharmacists play an important role in providing guidance on its use, advising on available options, conditions of use and administration. Generating the promotion, protection and rehabilitation, promoting health and well-being.

Authors: Karina Oliveira Mota, Anamaria Mendonça Santos, Amanda Silva Santos, Andreza Melo de Araujo, Andrea Yu Kwan Villar Shan , Carla Maria Lins de Vasconcelos, Brancilene Santos de Araújo
Abstract: Plants are important sources of secondary metabolites responsible for various biological activities. In this research, was evaluated the effect action ethyl acetate fraction of Syzygium cumini leaves (Sc-AcOEt) in the antimicrobial activity, contractile and electrical effects in isolated rat hearts and the chemical characterization. Antimicrobial activity was assessed using the disk-diffusion method and the determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration. The contractile and electrical effects were tested using the Langendorf method. The chemical characterization was evaluated through quantification and HPLC analyzes. P. aeruginosa was not viable in any concentration of the fraction (MIC 0,125 mg/mL), while S. aureus showed a MIC of 0.5 mg/mL. K. pneumoniae and E. coli had the highest MIC (1 mg/mL). A reduction in LVDP was observed after heart perfusion with 0.1 mg/mL of Sc-AcOEt. No change was observed in the duration of systole and diastole at all concentrations and in the electrocardiographic parameters. Total phenols, total flavonoids and total flavonols contents of Sc-AcOEt, calculated from the respective calibration curves, were 21.556µg/mg AGE, 617.222µg/mg QE and 315,222µg/mg RE, respectively. In addition, the HPLC analysis of Sc-AcOEt showed the presence of gallic acid, quercetin-3-glucoside, naringin and myricetin as main components. Thus, the Sc-AcOEt has important antimicrobial and cardiac activities possibly due to its chemical constituents.

Abstract: Tooth impaction is a common dental condition ranging from 0.8 to 3.6% of the general population. A tooth normally erupts when one-half to three-quarters of its final root length has developed. Impaction is usually diagnosed well after the tooth should have erupted. In this context, this article aims to review the literature about available treatments for impacted elements. For the construction of this article, a bibliographical survey was carried out in the databases SciVerse Scopus, Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), U.S. National Library of Medicine (PUBMED) and ScienceDirect, with the help of the Mendeley reference manager. The articles were contemplated between the years 2000 to 2022. To perform a differential diagnosis for an impacted tooth, professionals must perform a clinical assessment of the patient's condition. Informed consent should address treatment options for impacted teeth and complications associated with treatment. Four treatment options for managing impacted teeth have been described: observation, intervention, relocation, and extraction. There is some interaction between treatment options, and some options are only viable for a specific period of time. Before the dentist can recommend a suitable treatment plan for a patient, the dentist must perform a clear clinical and radiographic evaluation of the patient's mouth, review the pathologic ramifications resulting from impacted teeth, discuss treatment complications with the patient, and address concerns. expressed by the patient.

- Clinical management of newborn with cyanotic heart disease: a
bibliographic review
Authors: Raiany Dias Marques Ferreira, Andressa Barea Borges Vidal
Abstract: Congenital heart diseases (CHD) represent an important cause of morbidity and mortality, accounting for approximately 8% of infant mortality. Of these, approximately 30% of deaths occur in the early neonatal period. They are defined as abnormalities in the cardiocirculatory structure and function, present from birth, caused by changes in the embryonic development of the heart. They may occur due to genetic, environmental or idiopathic factors and are classified as cyanotic and acyanotic. This present study aims to carry out a narrative literature review on the clinical management of cyanotic congenital heart diseases. Articles from the Pubmed, Scielo and Google Scholar platforms were analyzed, using descriptors such as: congenital heart disease, cyanosis and newborn. The studies evaluated showed the importance of early diagnosis of cyanotic CHD, which can be performed during pregnancy, through fetal or even postnatal echocardiography. It was observed that from the suspicion or confirmation of this comorbidity, it is essential to institute the appropriate clinical management of this newborn. Because, when treatment is instituted early, it has contributed to increase the survival of these children.

Authors: Gustavo Henrique dos Santos Dias, Nádia Marisa Sotério de Oliveira
Abstract: Introduction: Locked-in syndrome is a neurological condition in which the patient develops tetraplegia and anarthria, becoming unable to perform limb movements and speak, however, maintains proprioception and consciousness, in addition to vertical eye movement, which is the main only way for the patient to communicate. Among the various types of intraoperative monitoring, the BIS and the spectrogram provide us with the analysis of the patient's level of consciousness, allowing the maintenance of an adequate anesthetic plane, reducing intraoperative awakening and the complications of a very deep anesthetic plane. Objective: To describe a case of a patient who developed locked-in syndrome due to a pons ischemic stroke and underwent general anesthesia with monitoring of the level of consciousness with the bispectral index (BIS) and spectrogram. Case report: A 50-year-old female patient, housewife, was admitted to the emergency room at UPA São Sebastião - Brasília DF, with a condition of lowered level of consciousness. Daughter reports that the patient complained of severe headache, followed by syncope. She was evaluated by the medical team, who opted for orotracheal intubation and transferred her to a reference service in neurology due to the suspicion of stroke. Conclusion: Despite the apparent state of coma, the patient with locked-in syndrome presents data from monitoring of anesthetic depth with BIS and spectrogram similar to the normal population, which makes its use important in the prevention of negative outcomes, such as intraoperative awareness.

Abstract: Introduction: A patient is considered polytraumatized when he presents lesions in two or more systems of the human body. These injuries are serious and present a vital risk for the patient, requiring a multidisciplinary treatment and approach due to the complexity of the injuries usually resulting. Objective: To analyze the conducts carried out from the first consultation to the postoperative period of the polytraumatized patient. Methodology: This article falls under the integrative literature review category. For the composition of this work, the databases of scientific articles were used to carry out the searches: US National Library of Medicine (PubMed) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) and Virtual Library in Health (VHL) where scientific data collection took place until January 11, 2023, in English, Portuguese and Spanish. The period analyzed for the selection of articles was from 2000 to 2022. The keywords “emergency” AND “polytramatized” AND “conducts” were used. Result and discussion: The conducts taken in polytraumatized patients involve procedures performed within the pre-hospital environment and the in-hospital. Thus, it is essential that the teams communicate at the time of patient management, with details and a detailed anamnesis. Conclusion: More studies and research on the subject are needed, mainly addressing the main behaviors that generate the most deaths in these patients.

- Dental tablets for toothbrushing: products available in Brazil for online
purchase and literature review
Authors: Ana Luisa Hott Montrezor, Lívia Fávaro Zeola, Maia Luiza de Moraes Oliveira
Abstract: Toothpastes are well-studied formulations, found in the form of a cream/paste or gel for cleaning teeth. Recently, dental tablets have been launched in the oral hygiene products market to be used in brushing, to replace traditional toothpastes. The aim of this study was to carry out a narrative review of the literature on dental tabs and identify the products available for online purchases in Brazilian stores, qualitatively analyzing the information provided by the producers. Two authors performed independent searches, with the terms 'tooth tabs' and 'dental tablets', in the shopping tab of the Google and Amazon Brazil platforms, from July 25 to August 1, 2022. For literature review, a search was performed in the Medline/PubMed and Embase databases, with the keywords “toothpaste”, “dental tablet”. The time cut performed was from 2000 to 2022. Ten products were found with prices between R$0.25-R$3.00 per unit of the tablet. As for the composition, only two of them contained fluoride salts. In the description of the stores/producers, aspects such as sustainability, practicality and the classification as 'vegan' or 'natural' were highlighted. In the literature search, only two articles were found on toothbrushing tablets (no clinical studies). Although toothpastes are available to consumers for purchase online, the cost of these products is considerably higher and more studies are needed before the dentist can prescribe them as an alternative to cream/paste or gel toothpastes.

- Quality of life of elderly caring for an elderly family member: systematic
review
Authors: Deomara Cristina Damasceno Garcia, Giovana Vesentini, Marluci Betini, José Eduardo Corrente, Alessandro Ferrari Jacinto
Abstract: One of the consequences of the aging process is the increased prevalence of chronic degenerative diseases, causing the elderly to lose their autonomy and independence, requiring help in their daily tasks. Objective: to analyze the scientific production that addresses the quality of life (QoL) of family caregivers (60 years or older) who take care of another elderly person in a family environment, based on primary articles. The specific objectives were: to identify QoL, aspects of care, and intervention with elderly family caregivers. Method: registered with PROSPERO. The articles were identified by the bases: PubMed, Embase, WOS, Scopus, Cinhal, and Lilacs – from 1988 to 2021, according to the eligibility criteria. Results: Of 1,143 selected articles, ten were included, according to the PRISMA instructions. The concept of quality of life adopted had multidimensional perspectives. Subjective aspects stood out as essential for the assessment and understanding of QoL. Different instruments were used and one of them developed a specific scale for caregivers of elderly people with dementia (DQoL-OC). Most caregivers were women and assisted elderly people with different health problems, emphasizing dementia. Conclusion: analyzing the QoL of elderly family caregivers is extremely relevant, as well as the intervention process adapted to the health and well-being of this individual, which proved to be potential means of improving the QoL of elderly family caregivers. Therefore, the deepening of this theme is relevant in view of the growing number of elderly people worldwide.

- Educational programs for couples: a systematic literature review
Authors: Antoniela Yara Marques da Silva-Dias, Lidia Natalia Dobrianskyj Weber, Marieli Philippsen, Bruna Eduarda de Barros, Natália Domingos Rodrigues
Abstract: This study aimed to analyze international and national production regarding educational programs for couples. To this end we conducted a systematic literature review using the following databases: PubMed, APA, LILACS and ERIC. We followed the PRISMA method. The results showed that it was only possible to identify programs on the theme in the international context, with emphasis on American research. Moreover, it is possible to state that studies involving educational programs for couples continue to be centered on a relatively homogeneous population, that is, young and heterosexual couples. Most present among the programs used were the Prevention Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP) and OurRelationship (OuR). Studies with mediators showed communication to be an important mechanism for change, while studies with moderators highlighted relational and individual risk factors. Both communication and satisfaction were the most used outcomes for efficacy studies. In the Brazilian context, however, no studies with a control group were found. We discuss the need for more studies with educational programs for couples in the Brazilian context.

- Induction of lactation in transgender women: An integrative literature
review
Authors: Ricardo Alves Costa, Izailza Matos Dantas Lopes, Catharina Pessoa Lebre Tavares, Cássia Fernanda dos Santos Rosa, Rebecca Schuster Dorea Leite, Alessandra Vitória de Menezes Nunes, Brenda Lima Meireles Martins, Matheus Porto Alves, Karina Santos Silva, Milena Oliveira Leite
Abstract: Our objective is to review the literature regarding the induction of lactation in transgender women, seeking publications, in any year, that discuss the relevant aspects of this topic. This is an integrative review and its systematization took place through the following steps: a) identification of the guiding question, b) search in the digital literature, c) evaluation of the findings, d) interpretative analysis of the results, e) discussion with summarization of knowledge. For the search, combinations of the following indexing terms were used: lactation, breastfeeding, trans women and transgender women (and their English counterparts). Data collection was carried out during the month of September 2022 in the PubMed, LILACS and SciELO databases. Initially, 27 publications were identified during the search. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 09 works were obtained for inclusion in this study. It is possible to observe that there is a scarcity of works on the subject in the literature. Breastfeeding is a gender affirmation strategy for trans women and should be encouraged whenever possible. Milk production is possible through a protocol that consists of: stimulation and expression of the breast tissue, use of anti-androgens and galactagogues and increase with subsequent reduction of serum levels of estradiol and progesterone. It is concluded, therefore, that the induction of lactation in transgender women is feasible, economical, accessible and potentially safe. However, it is necessary to encourage research on this topic in order to answer the several remaining questions.

- The importance of education on ethnic-racial relations in higher education
Authors: Fabiana Maria S. S. Vilar Alvez, Giorge Andre Lando
Abstract: This is a qualitative and exploratory research, aimed at presenting the importance of the education of ethnic-racial relations in higher education. It was decided to take the technique proposed by Bardin as a guideline for the analysis of qualitative data, which is widely used in research of a social nature, and adapt it to the reality of the article. In higher education, undergraduate courses are focused on professional training, and within this scenario it is necessary to understand the importance of implementing the National Curriculum Guidelines for Ethnic-Racial Relations and for the Teaching of Afro-Brazilian and African History and Culture (DCN ), since they provide opportunities for the promotion of discussions around blacks and non-blacks, since they provide training based not only on normative instruments, but mainly on education in positive ethnic-racial relations.

- Work and social being: a critical analysis of the onto-historical
relationship
Authors: Felipe Néo dos Santos, Danielle de Menezes Vieira Néo, Raimundo Jackson Nogueira da Silva, Fabiano Geraldo Barbosa , Rosângela Ribeiro da Silva, Emanoel Rodrigues Almeida
Abstract: The general objective of this study was to critically analyze the category of work and its relationship with the constitution of the social being in an onto-historical process, with the specific objectives being: a) to investigate the category of work and its historicity; b) investigate work as a founding category in the genesis and development of the social being; and c) verify the transformations of the work category and its determinations in the social complexes. In methodological terms, the research was based on the ontological method, from a qualitative approach and a bibliographic investigation. For this purpose, the theoretical propositions of the following authors were fundamentally taken as references: Lessa (2015), Lukács (2013), Marx (2013), among others. The results and discussions pointed out that by transforming nature, the social being alters his consciousness to explore the outside world as he produces new objectivations, generating new causalities and instituting social determinations so that he can modify reality with knowledge of the concrete. In the final considerations, it was emphasized that it is through work that new production relations are developed in which the social being, mainly the working class, goes through an educational process in order to structure a new humanity with techno-scientific qualification.

- Study of the Minha Casa Minha Vida program as a social housing project and
comparison with housing solutions/programs practiced in chile
Authors: Gustavo Vinicius Mesquita Pessoa, Rafael Spindola Vasconcelos, Bruno Raphael Souza Santos
Abstract: All of Latin America is endowed with peculiarities in the housing context. Mainly by the metropolises, as they receive a significant number of migrants. Factors such as accelerated urbanization, industrialization lagging behind other countries, military regimes, among others. In 1960, the housing situation worsened, in that period because there were no policies to meet this demand. It requires a large capital investment and involves different actors with different interests. Its production has an impact on different levels of society: economic, social, political and legal. The housing deficit in Brazil is not a recent problem, but a problem that is difficult to solve. Many families, especially low-income ones, are unable to dedicate hours, days or even years of extra work to help with the self-construction system. The housing deficit is a common social problem and its existence leads people to live in low levels of quality of life. Even so, for some families, access to urban land and adequate housing is still out of reach. In this way, the objective that this work seeks to elucidate is, to raise a comparative analysis between the MCMV housing program that was recently adopted in Brazil, in comparison with the programs adopted in Chile, and will have as a standard the last housing program that was finalized in the country. . This study is justified for the author, for deepening his knowledge in the areas of civil construction and real estate development linked to government accounting and business accounting.

nutritional and enzymatic attributes of sugarcane
Authors: Luana Maria Alves da Silva, Elvira Maria Regis Pedrosa, Thais Fernanda da Silva Vicente, Diego Arruda Huggins de Sá Leitão, Rezanio Martins Carvalho, Ananda Rosa Beserra Santos, Marcelo Simeão
Abstract: Two field experiments were carried out in the city of Camutanga, Pernambuco, Brazil, to evaluate relationships between the plant-parasitic nematodes Meloidogyne and Pratylenchus and plant biometric, nutritional and antioxidant enzymes attributes of sugarcane (plant cane and ratoon). Evaluations, carried out at 6, 9, and 12 months after planting (Area 1) or ratoon cutting (Area 2), based on the endoparasites population level in root, stalk height, stalk diameter, number of stalks and tillers, superoxide dismutase and ascorbate peroxidase activity. Data were submitted to descriptive and geostatistical analysis, generating isolines maps by means of theoretical semivariograms adjusted to the data semivariance. The spherical and exponential models were adjusted for most variables evaluated. In Area 1, the spatial-temporal distribution patterns of Meloidogyne and Pratylenchus differed over time, running to a more homogeneous trend along the time. The ratoon development in Area 2 was affected by sites of high population density of Pratylenchus, matching with the lower potassium and magnesium levels.

- Zinc-elicited stress tolerance in fungi
Authors: Valéria de Albuquerque Sousa Feitosa, Elvira Marques Luz Dias, Drauzio Eduardo Naretto Rangel
Abstract: Fungi for industrial and agricultural uses must endure a variety of physical and chemical challenges, collectively referred to as stresses. The fungal response to stress conditions may be due to impaired growth and metabolism. Understanding the physiology of stress responses can help alleviate the detrimental effects when the fungus is applied agricultural and industrial uses. The present study aims to review the physiological and morphological effects of zinc ions on fungi. Zinc is essential for the activity of zinc metalloenzymes, such as alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase. It can activate riboflavin synthesis and increase protein content in fermenting yeast. However, excess zinc is toxic to the cell, and the cellular level must be finely controlled within an adequate range between 0.1 and 0.5 mM. In conclusion, a relationship between zinc and yeasts is observed but has not yet been fully defined in the fermentation process. Thus, studies are still needed to evaluate the physiological and morphological effects of zinc ions in fungi used in agriculture, such as tolerance of conidia produced in culture media with zinc or to conditions of oxidative stress, osmotic stress, ultraviolet radiation, and heat.

recycler and biomass producer
Authors: Pedro Henrique Hansen, Danni Maisa da Silva, Luciane Sippert Lanzanova, Divanilde Guerra, Mastrângello Enívar Lanzanova, Eduardo Lorensi de Souza, Robson Evaldo Gehlen Bohrer
Abstract: Cover plants participate in the dynamics that occur in agricultural cultivation areas, mainly by favoring the implantation of subsequent cultures, in addition to helping to structure the soil, in the biological, physical and chemical relationships of the system, helping the formation and maintenance of the soil. balance of the agricultural environment. In this sense, this work aims to describe and evaluate the radish culture as a soil decompacter, nutrient recycler and biomass producer. As a methodology, a narrative review was carried out. The data were obtained from books and articles available in the database of Periódicos Capes and Google Scholar. As main results, it is highlighted that the forage turnip presents itself as a winter cover plant with great capacity for soil decompression and structuring, as well as assisting in the recycling and availability of nutrients to crops, in addition to producing plant biomass for cover and soil protection. The numerous researches related to the subject of cover plants, help in the production of a vast literature, where professionals and producers can make use and raise knowledge for more sustainable practices for agriculture and that harm less the environment. The use of plants as a form of cover is an alternative that contributes to increasing sustainability in agricultural systems, due to the ability to promote soil cover, absorb nutrients from sub-surface layers and release them slowly through the decomposition of soils its waste.

- Bacillus and Trichoderma as growth promoters of Eucalyptus urograndis
Authors: Daniela de Oliveira Luciano, Celso Afonso Lima, Milena Barreira Lopes, Dalilla Moreira de Oliveira Moura, Ana Licia Leão Ferreira, Albert Lennon Lima Martins, Lillian França Borges Chagas, Aloisio Freitas Chagas Junior
Abstract: Reforestation with cloned plants of the genus Eucalyptus has been increasing in relation to the planted area throughout Brazil. The use of Bacillus bacteria as plant growth promoters is a promising alternative with positive effects on the development of roots and shoots of eucalyptus seedlings. Another alternative is the use of fungi such as those of the genus Trichoderma, which promote growth through the production of phytohormones. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of using Bacillus subtilis Bs08 and B. subtilis Bs10 and the fungus Trichoderma harzianum UFT-25 on the initial growth of Eucalyptus urograndis. Seedling height, root length, shoot and root dry mass were evaluated. Inoculation of B. subtilis Bs08 and B. subtilis Bs10 to the substrate provided significant height developments in all E. urograndis plants within 30 days after planting. T. harzianum showed efficiency as growth promoters of clonal seedlings of E. urograndis in nursery conditions, being quite effective in root length, dry mass of the aerial part and dry mass of the root at 30 and 60 days after planting. The inoculation of B. subtilis Bs08, B. subtilis Bs10 and T. harzianum UFT-25 to the substrate provided a positive effect on the accumulation of biomass of E. urograndis seedlings, showing that these microorganisms are growth promoters for this forest species.

- Emissions of nitrous oxide from the soil under a forest-livestock
integration system and eucalyptus cultivation in the cerrado of Piauí
Authors: João Rodrigues da Cunha, Adriano Veniciús Santana Gualberto, Vanusa Suelma Viana dos Santos, Renato Falconeres Vogado, Luiz Fernando Carvalho Leite
Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the flow of nitrous oxide (N2O) in exclusive cropping systems with eucalyptus (CEE) and integration-animal-forest system (IPF). The work was developed at the Chapada Grande Farm in Regeneração-PI, where two soil management systems (CEE and IPF) were selected to evaluate N2O emissions. Gas samples were collected using static chambers and daily and accumulated emissions were calculated. The mean N2O fluxes found in the CEE and IPF systems were low during the evaluation, with negative values indicating the consumption of this gas in the soil. In the CEE, the highest emission peak was observed at the beginning of the evaluation, while in the IPF, the highest peak was observed at the end. These variations in the two systems under study are due to rainfall events occurring during the evaluation period. In general, the IPF emissions were higher than those observed in the CEE. This can be attributed to the effects of soil compaction caused by the presence of animals during grazing, as well as by the release of waste products such as feces and urine. These animals. Regarding the accumulated emissions of N2O over the evaluation period, the values are low in both systems, but in the IPF the emissions were higher. The N2O emissions in the two evaluated systems are mainly associated with rainfall events. The IPF system is less efficient in relation to eucalyptus cultivation in the mitigation of greenhouse gases like N2O.

- Determination of the Finite Differences Method coefficients
Authors: Luciano Cesario da Silva, Paulo Cavalcante do Nascimento Junior
Abstract: This article aims to present a procedure to determine of the Finite Difference Method (FDM) coefficients. The approach contained in the work consists of approximating derivatives of different orders from the first terms of the Taylor Series, obtaining coefficients that are used in the construction of the Finite Difference Equation (FDE), which is used to approximate the solution of a Differential Equation Ordinary (ODE). For the derivatives of a function, a process was developed that takes as a basis the cases of the first derivatives of a function and generalizes to the derivative of nth order. From them it is possible to expand the numerical method of study to approach the solution of an ODE of any order. To exemplify the applications of FDM, contemporary physical problems that fall into integrated and compatible with approximate solutions were made, where, in each case, it was necessary to build an FDE associated with the ODE and solve the linear system generated by this FDE. In addition, for comparison purposes, the exact values of the solutions were presented to verify the difference between the approximate solution and the exact solution.

- The psychostimulant abuse to improve cognitive enhancement in healthy
students
Authors: Rebeca de Araújo Matos Rego, Maria Eduarda Souza Mendes , Yuri de Castro Machado
Abstract: The increased use of psychostimulants by healthy students has raised questions about their effects on increasing academic performance. With this, the present study aimed to carry out an integrative review on the effectiveness of these drugs in increasing academic performance in healthy people. Directed with the help of descriptors verified in Health Sciences Descriptors (DECS) and Medical Subject Headings (MESH) according to each database. For the production of the article, searches were carried out in the following databases: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Virtual Health Library (BVS), Web of Science, National Library of Medicine - National Institutes of Health (PUBMED). The following were selected as inclusion criteria: answering the target question and being written in Portuguese or English. As a result, 13 studies were obtained. After analysis, a study was observed that gathered online research data to document the perceived academic benefit of NPS and its relationship with such practice (nonmedical use of prescription stimulants), in which 28.6 % of users agreed that NPS could improve academic performance, and another 38.0% were not sure. It was also noted that drinking and cannabis consumption patterns were more associated with NPS. In addition, the use of methylphenidate was associated with improvement in long-term memory, however, the results were conflicting. Thus, it is necessary to follow up on new research, aiming to intensify the dissemination of information about the risks of self-medication and to promote actions focused on the academical mental health.

courses at the Federal University
Authors: Joanilson Andrade Freire Junior, Zuleika Santiago de Medeiros Carneiro, Gilberto Francisco Carvalho Junior, Ana Caroline Gonçalves de Sá Novaes, Erminiana Damiani de Mendonça
Abstract: Biosafety comprises a set of actions aimed at preventing, controlling, mitigating or eliminating risks inherent in activities that may interfere with or compromise the quality of life, human health and the environment. Given the above, the study sought to review biosafety and elaborate proposals that would contribute to the standardization of laboratories in health courses at a university in Tocantins. The study proposed a qualitative, descriptive research, through a case study. Due to this characteristic, it consisted of the survey and analysis of data and documents on the current situation of biosafety in laboratories. The methodology also involved a referential bibliographical research, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the study, as well as find subsidies to contribute to the improvement of biosafety management. The University has adopted several measures with the aim of adapting to biosafety standards, however the present study shows that the institution needs greater adequacy. It was possible to infer that teaching and research laboratories in the health area at a university in Tocantins need improvements in terms of biosafety. Such changes must be adopted not only in terms of physical structure, but also with regard to education and information directed to users. It was possible to perceive the need for institutional and academic awareness, as well as new studies with this approach in order to foster improvements in laboratory environments.

- The impact of hand washing and correlation with anxiety during the
COVID-19 pandemic period
Authors: Gabriela Athayde Nascimento, Patrícia Stadler Rosa Lucca, Cristiane de Bortoli Rota
Abstract: Hand hygiene is one of the main measures regarding the prevention of transmission of various diseases, among which COVID-19 stands out. After all, it is known that its transmission occurs when the virus comes into contact with the mouth, nose or eyes, through unwashed hands. It is noted, therefore, that keeping your hands clean prevents infection and transmission of the disease. Taking this information into account, the present study discusses the impact of handwashing, correlating it with anxiety during the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic. The investigation of the theme, the research problem presented here, arises from the need to understand the essential social links that will undoubtedly contribute not only to health professionals, but also to academics, teachers and the community in general. As for the methodological criteria, the research was developed using the exploratory-descriptive method, whose choice was fundamental in terms of data collection, as well as the treatment of the information obtained, that is, the analysis of the population and the investigated criteria, at which point that the research is directed to the examination of the data in an analytical and descriptive way. Finally, the present study aims to bring about the discussion, the identification of the main problems correlated with anxiety experienced by health professionals directly involved in coping with the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as pointing out future actions and strategies for the protection and prevention of anxiety disorders.

- Impacts of obstetric violence in Brazil: a literature review
Authors: Júlia Carla Oliveira Silva, Letícia Maria Cavalcanti Brito, Eloisa Simões Alves, José Bandeira de Medeiros Neto, José Ledesvan Pereira dos Santos Junior, Nielson Mendes Marques, Thalisson Max de Oliveira Lopes, José de Almeida Alexandre, Luciano Jose Ramos Pimentel Santos
Abstract: Obstetric violence (OV) is considered a global public health problem, and can be defined as any practice against women's sexual and reproductive health, and can also be considered an appropriation of the female body, characterized by dehumanized treatment, in which its main characterizations are: physical, psychological and sexual violence. OV is still little perceived and supported by the law, compared to other forms of violence against women, and discussions on the subject are relevant. Thus, the objective of this work is to discuss the effects of obstetric violence, seeking to give visibility, raise awareness and encourage the prevention of this violence that is part of the Brazilian reality. For this, the work was carried out through an exploratory descriptive bibliographical research, characterized by a review of references already analyzed and published. The following databases were used: Google Scholar, Scopus and Scielo, using the keywords: “obstetric violence”, “Brazil”, “childbirth”, “pregnancy”, “humanized childbirth”, “obstetric violation” and their combinations. Obstetric violence represents an impasse for the fulfillment of women's rights, as it is perceived as an increasingly common situation in their daily lives, whether in prenatal, delivery, postpartum or abortion situations. More robust, interdisciplinary and transnational research is needed to help policymakers, maternity care providers, women and families who access maternity services to better understand, define and address this phenomenon.

- Self-Medication During the COVID-19 Pandemic and Associated Factors
Authors: Letícia Lima Branco, Micaella Yanne Fender Lobato, José Felipe Teixeira Borges, Rita de Cássia Silva de Oliveira
Abstract: During the COVID-19 pandemic, self-medication intensified due to several factors, such as the ease of obtaining medicines without a prescription, difficulty in accessing health services and the wide media dissemination of over-the-counter drugs for the population. In view of this, the present study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with self-medication in the COVID-19 pandemic. Data collection occurred through the application of a questionnaire on the practice of self-medication during the COVID-19 pandemic. The online questionnaire was sent to individuals aged 18 years or older, residents of the metropolitan region of Belém. Thus, a total of 273 valid responses were obtained. From the evaluation of the data, it was noted the prevalence of the practice in females, in young adults and individuals without higher education. In addition, among the drugs used, non-opioid analgesics and Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) stand out. With these and other data in hand, public policies can be devised to minimize the practice of uncontrolled self-medication, avoiding the appearance of adverse effects due to the irrational use of drugs, especially during situations of great risk to public health.

- Quality control criteria for positioning mammography exams: an integrative
review
Authors: Geórgia Gonçalves, Izabel Cristina Dell'Antônio Piva, Juliana Almeida Coelho de Melo, Andrea Huhn
Abstract: Objective: To analyze the production in the literature on mammographic positioning and evaluations of clinical quality control in mammography exams. Method: Integrative review carried out in the SCOPUS, SCIELO, PUBMED/MEDLINE, LILACS, BDENF, CINAHL, EMBASE, COCHRANE Library, WEB OF SCIENCE databases. The search strategy was defined with the help of a librarian. The selection of research articles was performed first by reading the titles and abstracts and then by reading the full article. Results: As a result of this research, we obtained 8 articles that passed the sieve of exclusion and inclusion criteria, containing the characteristics of the publications (title, year, country, authors, objectives and main results). Finals considerations: The quality standards for an effective positioning in mammography exams are well defined in all studies, it is important to mention the importance of a new image evaluation system, the PGMI (perfect, good, adequate and inadequate) is being used to assist in the elimination of subjectivity in the evaluation of quality criteria in the positioning of exams. In Brazil, we did not find studies published in the last five years related to quality, proving the need for deeper actions to understand the challenges that may be encountered.

- Thrombotic microangiopathy by COVID-19 superposed to non-dialytic chronic
kidney disease: case report
Authors: Karla Loureto de Oliveira, Rafael Siqueira Athayde Lima, Rita Mônica Borges Studart
Abstract: Objective: To describe a case of thrombotic microangiopathy due to COVID-19 superimposed on non-dialytic CKD, who was under medical care by the Nephrology ward team at a referral center in northeastern Brazil. Method: A case report study in which we present a case of TMA with severe kidney damage triggered by SARS-CoV-2 in a patient with previous chronic nephropathy, who evolved with the need for hemodialysis. Results: TAM associated with SARS-CoV-2 seems to be related to the uncontrolled activation of an alternative complement pathway and the alteration of the integrity of the vascular endothelium, leading to the release of inflammatory cytokines and consequent activation of the local coagulation cascade. To improve the outcome of these patients, it is necessary to quickly identify the TMA, offer supportive therapy and, when applicable, specific treatment according to the underlying pathophysiology. Discussion: COVID-19 can manifest as multiorgan dysfunction, with pulmonary involvement being the most common. Exaggerated immune response in the form of unrestricted complement activation and cytokine storm may be a key factor for widespread organ damage. There may be hypercoagulability and a high rate of thrombosis. Although macrovascular thrombosis is common in these individuals, the frequent finding of microvascular thromboses raises the possibility of thrombotic microangiopathy (TAM) as a contributing factor to multiorgan complications, including the kidney. Conclusion: The management of TMA is a challenge and survival rates are directly related to the implementation time of adequate treatment.

- Character education development model for children based on sintuvu local
wisdom in Binangga Village, Marawola sub-district, Sigi regency
Authors: Dwi Septiwiharti, Mutawakkil Mutawakkil
Abstract: This article is based on the findings of a study driven by worries about the current state of education, which emphasizes the importance of developing children's character in society. Character crises are ubiquitous, as seen by the increasingly popular attitude of the younger generation, which has lost touch with society's manners or cultural values, pushing them to depart from established norms. The study objective is to offer a model for promoting children's character education by enhancing the local wisdom of Sintuvu values in Binangga Village, Marawola Sub-district, Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. In this study, the FGD (Focus Group Discussion) and interviews are used in a field research paradigm or a field study to do qualitative research. The findings of this study show that sintuvu, as mutual-cooperation values for the Kaili community in Binangga Village, should be instilled in children through education, both official and informal schooling. As a result, parental involvement in education has a substantial impact on aspects of children's character development beginning at a young age.

Authors: Ana Patrícia Santos Silva Barbosa, Thátila Larissa da Cruz Andrade, Klécia de Sousa Marques da Silva, Rodrigo Angelino Freitas, Francisca Jéssica Pereira da Silva, Gardênia Monteiro Batista
Abstract: Introduction: Health is everyone's right and the state's duty, and to ensure this right, the SUS was created, where the UBS constitutes a gateway to health services. Men are included in this context, who for various reasons are negligent in relation to health, an action that increases male mortality data. Thus, the Ministry of Health launched the National Policy for Integral Attention to Men's Health, which aims to promote better health conditions for men. Methodology: The present study is a literature review, whose objective was to analyze the scientific publications from 2011-2022 about the advances and challenges faced in relation to men's health in Primary Care. Data collection was carried out by analyzing the databases: BDNEF, LILACS, and SCIELO, applying the descriptors: advances, challenges, men's health and nursing. Results and Discussion: The discrepancy in relation to the advances obtained, which are few, and challenges faced that appear in different ways, in this way nurses develop different strategies to rescue the male population, another strategy launched by the MS is the PNAISH, which tries to develop in the precarious health system that it is inserted. Conclusion: It is concluded, through the selected and analyzed articles, that men's health needs greater investments in public policies and actions that are aimed at men in their entirety, respecting their individualities and particularities, only then can we have changes in the negative situations and better quality of life for males.

Abstract: It is known that there is not always an adequate dimensioning of culverts, gutters and galleries in the drainage system of the cities, it is also possible to find the absence of the study of the soil survey, the inclination of the road or the study of the hydrographic basins present in the localities where a new road and drainage network is created, in addition, due to the urbanization system occurring in an uncontrolled way in several situations, problems of flooding also arise in different parts of the city due to the absence of adequate urban planning. Thus, a diagnosis was carried out to identify the real problem in the drainage of Rua Rio Grande do Norte in Açailândia-MA, in addition to analyzing the unevenness of the road and proposing adequate measures to remedy the difficulties of water drainage in the studied route. This article presents the results that allow decision-making to choose actions that aim to reduce or eliminate the identified problems, generating a critical eye and being able to focus on the proposed solution for flooding problems, for example.

- Consumption expectation based on the appearance of vegan ice cream made
from the water-soluble extract of the cashew nut kernel
Authors: Matheus Calixto Saraiva, Dilson Cristino da Costa Reis, Gizele Almada Cruz, Juliane Döering Gasparin Carvalho
Abstract: The demand for foods that do not have raw materials of animal origin in their formulation is constantly growing. The reason for this is the number of people who call themselves vegetarians or vegans, who have health problems or who opt for restrictive diets for various reasons. Problems related to milk consumption, such as protein allergy and lactose intolerance, affect a large part of the population, and it is necessary to develop products that meet the needs of these consumers. With a view to the development of products analogous to cow's milk, several studies are being carried out on plant extracts. This study aimed to evaluate consumer expectations about the production of vegan ice cream based on water-soluble cashew nut extract, in order to prove its acceptance for possible production viability. The consumption expectation analysis was carried out using an electronic form with a structured questionnaire, presenting two formulations to the participants, with different concentrations of the water-soluble extract, with sample A using extract in the proportion of 1:3 and sample B the proportion of 1:5. It was possible to obtain favorable results, with an acceptance rate for sample A of 91.90% and for sample B of 76.20%. In this way, the visual acceptability of the ice cream produced with cashew nut extract highlights its potential in replacing dairy derivatives, providing an alternative for people who need or want to give up animal milk, whether for health reasons or by choice.

Teachers of a Public School in Pará think and do
Authors: Renan Ferreira de Freitas Freitas, Lailson Chaves Reis, Márcia Cristina Palheta Albuquerque , Deyse Danielle Souza da Costa, João Manoel da Silva Malheiro
Abstract: The present research seeks to analyze how investigative experimentation can contribute to the teaching and learning of Mathematics in the early years of elementary school. Thus, a qualitative approach research was carried out with four regent teachers of a Municipal School in the city of Mãe do Rio (PA). These teachers have experience in classes with students from the 1st to the 5th year of this teaching cycle. As an instrument for data collection, a questionnaire was used, in which professors expressed their contributions based on questions that addressed their academic training, knowledge and use (or not) of investigative experimentation in their practice. The research results showed a lack of knowledge and, consequently, difficulties in using investigative teaching in Mathematics teaching. With this, the need for continuing education processes aimed at the field of active methodologies is highlighted, seeking to broaden the understanding of teachers and contribute to teaching practices based on problem solving, thus bringing scientific content closer to the reality of students.

Abstract: The present article, aims, to discuss the importance of affection for inclusion in early childhood education. It is recognized by the literature reviewed that affection interferes with a person's interpersonal relationships with peers, adults, and the rest of the world. The child is expected to engage in numerous interactions throughout their time at school where affectivity will be present. To enable children, adolescents, and adults to develop new knowledge, it is also important to understand objectively how affectivity contributes to the learning process. Affectivity is essential for educational results, because the children's words make it clear that it plays a significant role in the learning process, which is based on mutual respect, dialog, and, especially, mutual love. It was found that there is a strong relationship between the ideas, and that once the educator is aware of the ideas and their practical implications in the theories presented, he/she can enhance the relationship between teaching and learning, making the growth of an individual more positive and effective.

Abstract: The objective of this study was to describe the occurrence of perceived occupational violence among nurses and nursing technicians working in Family Health Strategy teams. Methodology: This is an exploratory, cross-sectional cohort study with a quantitative approach, carried out with 251 nursing professionals from the Family Health Strategy in the municipality of Uberlândia-MG, from August to October 2020. Results: The concern for workers' health nursing is essential so that assistance to users of the Unified Health System is comprehensive and qualified. In view of this, it was evident that acts of violence against nursing professionals were committed by other professionals in the area and by users of the public service, with the prevalence being verbal abuse by patients and sexual harassment by bosses and/or supervisors. Conclusion: Therefore, it is emphasized that such situations of violence are reproduced due to the patients' lack of knowledge regarding the responsibilities of each Health Care sector in Brazil, and the lack of professional ethics practice by health service managers.

- Use of herbal medicines in Hemorrhoidal Disease
Authors: Gabriela Cruz Momm, Ana Luísa Torresilha, Carlos Henrique Marques dos Santos
Abstract: The present study is a review of the literature on the use of herbal medicines in the treatment of Hemorrhoidal Disease (HD), a type of anorectal pathology, whose clinical picture includes bleeding when defecating, anal discomfort, itching, pain and anal protrusion. We sought to gather data from clinical trials, guidelines, experimental studies and systematic reviews in order to present herbal medicines that have demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of HD, given that their standard management has several side effects and complications. Among the herbal medicines evaluated (eg. Terminalia chebula Retz, Allium iranicum and Centella asiatica L.) they showed significant improvement, mainly in parameters such as: bleeding, decrease in inflammatory activity, and in the clinical and endoscopic patterns of the disease. Therefore, there is a great need to introduce them as an alternative or adjuvant therapy to conventional treatment, and encourage further research to explore their clinical efficacy, thus cooperating to improve the quality of life of affected individuals.

breasfeeding mothers
Authors: Alessandro Schaefer, Juliana Almeida Burgarelli, Janaina Abramovecht, Daiane Maria Pastorio, Gustavo Yudi Orikassa de Oliveira, Jéssica Magnante, Bruna Paludo Ferreira, José Mohamud Vilagra, Marcelo Taglietti
Abstract: At the end of gestation, the cranial sutures are still not completely fused, being liable to be misaligned by mechanical forces, generating cranial alterations. Consequently, these cranial alterations can lead to a deficit in breastfeeding, causing damage to the development of the newborn. The aim of this study is to investigate whether there are associations between the type of delivery, the sex of the newborn and the quality of breastfeeding on the cranial morphology of newborns in a maternal-infant ward of a University Hospital in Western Paraná. Newborns were evaluated between 24 and 48 hours, where an interview was conducted with the mother and later the LATCH and craniometry of newborns were evaluated, in order to determine the quality of breastfeeding and cranial morphology. A total of 66 newborns participated in the study, of which 25 were excluded. Of the sample used for the study, the predominance was male (53.7%), with an average weight of 3.2 kg, length of 48.6 cm, average age of mothers 26.2 years and average gestational age of 38.7 weeks. The predominant type of delivery was cesarean section (65.9%) and the vast majority of newborns had some cranial alteration (87.8%), the mean total LATCH was 7.66. It is concluded that there was no association between the mode of delivery and the presence of cranial alterations, the results indicate a high rate of newborns with cranial alterations, however there was no statistically significant difference in the LATCH of newborns with normal cranial morphology for those with cranial alterations.

- Therapeutic group as a tool to promote the motivational process in the
treatment of substance abuse: an experience report
Authors: Camila Miranda de Matos, Priscila de Carvalho Cury Mazza, Karina Aparecida Figueiredo
Abstract: Objective: To analyze how a therapeutic group in Integral Reception can be an implement that promotes the motivational process in the chemical dependency treatment, during rehabilitation in CAPS AD III. Methodology: This is a qualitative retrospective and descriptive study of the experience report developed through the experiences of the resident professional in leading a group in an Integral Reception. Eight meetings accompanied by the resident were considered for the report. Results: Through the meetings, two themes were selected for discussion: “Motivating aspects related to substance use and the search for treatment” and “Elaborating the Singular Therapeutic Project”. Conclusion: The Motivational Interview and the Brief Intervention have an enriching theoretical foundation and are capable of guiding health professionals to approach problematic substance use and chemical dependency behaviors, as they understand that the motivation to change is not exclusively found in the individual, but is affected by relationships and the environment in which they are inserted. Thus, it can be inferred that the approach carried out was able to create spaces for exchange, guidance and motivational stimuli for change in which the Singular Therapeutic Project established a strong complementation by allowing expansion of the repertoire, offering a space for planning possibilities and reformulation of treatment strategies.

the literature
Authors: Letícia da Silva Queiroz, Even Herlany Pereira Alves, Airton Lucas Sousa dos Santos, Hélio Mateus Silva Nascimento, Paloma Maria de Sousa Araujo, Ana Clara de Moura Guimarães , Vanessa dos Santos Brito
Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the possible use of Origanum vulgare essential oil as an antibiotic option to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria of clinical importance. Methodology: This is a literature review in which a search was conducted in the Google Academic, PUBMED and LILACS databases using a time cut from 2012 to 2022, with the descriptors "essential oil"; "Origanum vulgare"; "antibacterial" and "antibiotic". Results: The review included 10 studies that evaluated the relationship between Origanum vulgare essential oil and antibiotic-resistant bacteria of clinical importance. Discussion: The essential oil of Origanum vulgare (oregano) has numerous described biological actions, of which stands out the antimicrobial activity. This activity is attributed, mainly, to its major component carvacrol, which has recognized bactericidal activity, besides the constituents γ-terpinene and p-cymene, which may present synergistic action constituents of the oil. The oil will have the cell membrane as its main attack target, and its efficacy depends on several factors, such as the harvesting site, the part of the plant used, and the way the oil is extracted. In addition, in some studies, oregano essential oil obtained greater efficacy against some pathogens compared to the antibiotic. Conclusion: The study suggests that oregano essential oil is effective in combating clinically important bacteria and may be studied as an option to combat resistant bacteria with little or no treatment option.

Abstract: Drug-food interactions are defined as changes in the pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of a drug or nutritional element or an impairment of nutritional status as a result of the addition of a drug. Drug interaction becomes a worrying cause of morbidity worldwide, as it is especially important in cancer patients, as they are often using polypharmacy, and there may be interactions between the drugs and the chemotherapeutic agents used. This descriptive study is a systematic literature review, whose objective was, through already published scientific studies, to gather scientific information for the contribution and construction of the proposed theme. In this way, several studies were evaluated that brought suitable proposals for the elaboration of research on the analysis of the drug-nutrient interaction. The research was carried out in the period December 2022, using articles from 2007 to 2022 as a time frame, through an online search of articles indexed in the databases of the PubMed Database of U.S. platform. National Library of Medicine (PUBMED), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) and Google Scholar. Drug interactions are more common in day-to-day activities than health professionals might assume. Knowledge on the subject can also help reduce cases. The multidisciplinary work between pharmacists, nurses, doctors and nutritionists can contribute satisfactorily so that the prevention and resolution of possible interactions between food and drugs can actually occur, in order to favor the quality of the patient's health.

Abstract: The process of caring and educating in health area can occur through instruments, among them, with the Educational Technologies; that favor user participation, contribute to citizenship and develop autonomy. The demographic transition generated changes in the world's population profile. Thus, aging is considered a dynamic and complex process with changes that influence the individual's quality of life. In Brazil, it occurs quickly and intensely and despite being a positive aspect, it brings demands related to the reorganization of Health Care in the Unified Health System. This study aimed to build and validate an educational technology on oral health for elderly people included in the primary health care system in the city of Belém - Pará. After approval by the Research Ethics Committee, a methodological study was carried out with five phases: situational diagnosis, literature review, technology construction, validation and review. The study included 23 health professionals, 13 from other areas and 82 elderly people linked to the Municipal Health Unit Benguí II for the survey of the situational diagnosis, of which 17 participated in the validation. After building the educational technology as an educational guide, it underwent content, appearance and semantic validation, respectively; and after analysis, the educational guide was approved by the corresponding Validation Indexes for each target audience. The educational technology on oral health for the elderly proved to be a valid and adequate instrument to be distributed to primary care professionals and the target audience, being an effective instrument to provide valuable information about health and also acts as a bridge for dialogue.

- The chemical physical analysis in the urine summary as a triage in
clinical management
Authors: Paulo César Pereira de Sousa, Antônio Neves Solon Petrola, Carol Machado Férrer, Lucas Aguiar Vale, Luis Gonzaga Moura Xavier, Marcos Kubrusly
Abstract: The summary urine test consists of physical-chemical analysis and sedimentoscopy. When the physical-chemical phase is normal, it is discussed not carrying out the sedimentoscopy step. This study aimed to evaluate the importance of normal physicochemical results of urine as a screening test for sedimentoscopy. The results of 3661 routine urine summary tests (medium jet) performed at the Clementino Fraga Laboratory, Fortaleza-Ceará, in January 2018 were analyzed. The collected data were recorded, tabulated and analyzed in the SPSS software version 17.0. It was observed that 77.92% of the urine tests showed no physical-chemical alterations. Of the 2658 urines with normal physicochemical analyses, 87.06% had normal sedimentoscopies within a confidence interval of 85.78% - 88.34%. Analyzing the negative predictive value (NPV) of urine with normal physicochemical and correlating it with the alterations found in the sedimentoscopies, we verified that this method has 99.8% of accuracy for all the elements found. The absence of leukocyte esterase and red blood cells in the physical-chemical analysis has an accuracy for sedimentoscopy of 97.5% and 98.2%, respectively. The present study suggests the use of normal physicochemical analysis as an exclusion factor for sedimentoscopy.

Abstract: The objective was to understand the importance of Community Health Agents (CHA) in actions to monitor vaccination in children under 5 years of age, seeking to list, through the scientific literature, the challenges and barriers that hinder the scope of vaccination campaigns and the intervention strategies of these professionals. It is an integrative literature review of a descriptive-exploratory nature, in which searches were carried out through the CINAHL, Embase, SCOPUS and MEDLINE databases. Initially, 163 studies were found and, according to the defined criteria, this number was reduced to 82. Furthermore, 27 were selected by reading the titles and abstracts, of which, with the full analysis, 9 were chosen to compose the final sample. The importance of these professionals in the development of multifaceted strategies to contact children and increase vaccination rates was highlighted, thus ensuring greater access to health services and policies, as well as awareness and mobilization of the community. This field of investigation was chosen due to the fact that there are gaps in knowledge about access to immunization programs, thus requiring community agents trained to detect children with delayed vaccination and to pass on guidance on the importance and benefits of this action.

- Association between Mycoplasma genitalium and pelvic inflammatory disease:
systematic review
Authors: Naiá Lauria da Silva, Alessandra Aziz Borges Bitar, Thaís Cavazzani Trombetta , Andressa Rodrigues Ribeiro, Taiane Kimura Bentes, Yasmin Silva Queiroz, José Claudio Garcia Lira Neto, Breno de Oliveira Ferreira
Abstract: The Mycoplasma genitalium has become one of the most emerging sexually transmitted infections worldwide. When installed, it may be associated with complications such as cervicitis, non-gonococcal urethritis, and endometritis. Furthermore, there is also evidence of the emergence of pelvic inflammatory disease in patients with Mycoplasma genitalium, although there is a scarcity of data on this. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the existence of an association between Mycoplasma genitalium and pelvic inflammatory disease or pelvic pain. This is a systematic review, developed in January 2023, considering cohort studies, clinical trials, and cross-sectional studies. The PubMed and CINAHL databases were used, as well as the BVS and Google Scholar virtual libraries. Also, the AskMEDLINE platform was searched, using the guiding question. The studies were limited to Portuguese, English and Spanish, and published between 2012 and 2022. Of the 2,413 works found, only five were selected for the final sample. All findings showed an association between Mycoplasma genitalium and pelvic inflammatory disease, although this relationship was quite variable (2.1%-38%). Pelvic pain was also present in the patients tested, although an asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic condition has also been reported in many cases. Although Mycoplasma genitalium represents an important portion of the infections that cause pelvic disease, Chlamydia trachomatis is still the main cause of it. However, new investigations need to be designed in an attempt to elucidate the relationship between the infection and other sexually transmitted infections and common clinical manifestations.

integrative review
Authors: Thayse Gomes da Silva Oliveira, Lucas Estrêla de Amorim, Joana Dourado Martins Cerqueira, Edla Carvalho Lima Porto, Maria do Carmo Vasquez Fernandes Bastos Nagahama, Rêuder Nascimento Cerqueira Costa
Abstract: Head and neck cancer is a chronic disease considered a public health problem. Among therapeutic modalities, radiotherapy implies oral complications and structural changes in the dental organ, including pulp modifications. In the presence of pulpoperiapical involvement, the atraumatic endodontics is a treatment of choice since it is more conservative and is able to eliminate the infection, avoiding an extraction with potential risk of osteoradionecrosis. In view of this, the objective of this study was to review the literature on the dental surgeons’ conduct with regard to the endodontic treatment in cancer patients irradiated in head and neck. This is an integrative literature review, with qualitative nature and a descriptive approach, carried out between February and August 2022, in Virtual Health Library portal and in the Scientific Electronic Library Online and PubMed databases, using the search strategy “((endodontics AND radiotherapy AND cancer AND treatment) OR (endodontia AND radioterapia AND câncer AND tratamento))”. All of the nine studies included in this research addressed that every patient irradiated in head and neck area that required endodontic treatment in order to eradicate infections and/or prevent extractions, should be treated following the guiding principles of atraumatic endodontics, and so guaranteeing minimum inflammatory tissue reaction. For this, the dental surgeons should have full control of the atraumatic endodontic treatment, providing a more conservative treatment, excellent prognosis and quality of life to such affected individuals.

- Information technology to reduce the irrational use of Proton Pump
inhibitors – Narrative review
Authors: Rafaelle Marques Cavalcante, Kristopherson Lustosa Augusto, Marcos Kubrusly
Abstract: Introduction: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) were clinically introduced in 1989 and proved to be effective for the treatment of a wide range of conditions attributable to gastric acid. Over time, they became victims of their own success, being prescribed in excess, in high doses and for longer periods than indicated. On the other hand, information technology (IT) began to be used to assist the learning process, playing an increasingly important role in medical education. Objective: Since IT is such a versatile method of use within the field of medicine and health education, would this resource be able to reduce, through information and education of doctors and patients, the indiscriminate use of IBPS' Method: We performed a narrative review, using MEDLINE, PubMed, SciELO, LILACS, SCOPUS and Google Scholar databases to extract articles. We searched the literature of recent years, with DeCS/MeSH terms used in the search for “proton pump inhibitor”, “medical education”, “gastroenterology” and “boarding school and residency”, in addition to terms such as “prescription”, “ulcer”, “free open access medical education”, “FOAM”, FOAMed”, “information technology”, “medical apps”, “applications”, “proton pump inhibitors”. Result: After extensive research, articles with different educational tools were found, but only two (PINCER and FORTA-EPI) used IT for a more rational prescription of medications. Conclusion: There was a scarcity of publications relating information technology and gastroenterology, as well as the use of proton pump inhibitors, indicating the need for studies that actually prove that there would be a reduction in prescriptions without indication of IBPS and validation of applications for this purpose. In view of the above, it was possible to conclude that feedback interventions and educational guidelines have the possibility of positively guiding medical conduct in clinical practice. In this way, we propose the development of an application to facilitate this difficult area of intervention.

Abstract: Bentonites are clayey materials composed mainly of montmorillonite (a mineral from the smectite group). Their characteristic colloidal composition determines the incorporation of water, forming plastic pastes. Whether sodium or calcium, the bentonites are widely used in numerous industrial applications due to their structural characteristics, availability and abundance in nature, and low cost. The present work aimed to carry out a brief narrative literature review on the potential of bentonite clays regarding their characteristics and some applications. Articles were selected between the years 2017 to 2022 from the Science Direct platform and using the following keywords: bentonite, environmental remediation, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, biomedicine, and civil construction. The results showed that the most studied area of application was that of environmental remediation connected to investigations in adsorption, which demonstrates the high interest and motivation of researchers in themes related to sustainability. Therefore, it is expected that this preliminary reading can contribute to the understanding of the technological potential of bentonite, bringing clarity to the study of its properties and applications.

Abstract: Psychology interventions can result in relevant changes in adolescents diagnosed with depression. Therefore, this study has as general objective to identify psychology interventions in adolescents with depression, and the psychosocial factors involved in the disease process in young people, this study also aims to identify which symptoms are most evident in depression that affect this audience. This manuscript is integrative review of scholarly articles published from 2016 to 2021, registered in the PUBMED and LILACS databases and descriptors used in the following languages: English (Psychology and adolescent and depression), Spanish (Psicología y adolescência y depresión), Portuguese (psicologia and and depressão and adolescente). Data was tabulated and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Seventeen articles met inclusion criteria, the majority of which were published in the database PUBMED 12 (70.5%). The most articles were in English (about 13, which corresponds to 76.5%), as well as most articles were produced in the year 2017 (41.2%). The following themes axes were found, as follows: symptoms and risk factors, and interventions and prevention. It is concluded that negative aspects such as hopelessness, loneliness and helplessness can act as risk factors for the development of depressive symptoms in adolescents. On the other hand, positive characteristic, such as self-esteem, self-efficacy, and self-concept, make it possible to face difficulties in a more adaptive way. Studies indicate that people who go through the Psychotherapeutic process have a greater possibility of improvement in depressive symptoms, which is difficult to treat.

- Accounting entrepreneurship skills: perspectives of accounting sciences
academics
Authors: Arkenes Gomes de Lima, Valdenês Pacheco Barbosa, Raquel Batista dos Santos
Abstract: The study aimed to demonstrate the perspectives of Accounting students at Unitins on entrepreneurial skills. To this end, we sought to identify the existence of 10 entrepreneurial skills in a sample of 40 students. For this, a questionnaire with an internal consistency of Cronbach's alpha above 0.8 was used, as a data collection instrument structured in 10 blocks of questions that collect the level of agreement in a 5-point lirket scale, each block being corresponding to a type of competency. The results show that all skills were present in the students, but some were more present than others. Such variations can cause positive effects, but most of these occurrences emerge under negative effects to the emergence and maintenance of new enterprises. This interpretation was only possible after a detailed investigation based on the review of studies, since the investigation of the quantitative analysis of the results did not efficiently demonstrate the degree of manifestation of competences.

- Market analysis of photovoltaic solar energy systems with emphasis on
brazilian rural area
Authors: Daniele Cristina Lopes Mariano, Marcus Vinicius Contes Calça, Fernando de Lima Caneppele, Silvia Angélica Domingues de Carvalho
Abstract: Solar energy is a renewable electricity source that can be captured and converted by solar panels, making it an interesting option to supply geographically isolated areas. The aim of this study is to carry out a market analysis of photovoltaic solar systems for residential and commercial use, as well as to gather information about the traditional (fixed) and mobile (solar tracking) structure, with an emphasis on better energy efficiency for use in remote rural areas in Brazil. In this sense, the estimated and real cost for the traditional assembly of photovoltaic solar systems in the last 10 years was analyzed, as well as an analysis of the implementation of mobile assembly in relation to the current market through the PEST and SWOT methodologies. It was pointed out that a mobile solar photovoltaic system with solar tracking tends to generate more electricity than a fixed-mount one, however, its cost is higher due to the electrical devices needed to carry out the movement. In this case, more detailed information on costs was not found in the literature. It was also pointed out that currently the implementation of a photovoltaic solar system (fixed assembly) is around R$ 4.88/Wp for residential use and R$ 3.88/Wp for commercial use, with a tendency to decrease over the years. For future studies, it is proposed to survey costs for the implementation of solar photovoltaic systems with single-axis and dual-axis solar trackers, to understand whether the better energy efficiency generated is an advantage in relation to its assembly cost.

pollution
Authors: Carolina Aguiar de Matos, Ana Carolina Vasques Freitas, Athos Moises Lopes Silva
Abstract: Exposure to air pollution has negative effects on human health, affecting the quality of life and well-being of the population. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the level of discomfort caused by atmospheric pollution (mainly by particulate matter) to the population of Itabira/MG, in order to identify the level of knowledge on the subject, associated with the socio-economic characteristics, and the perceptions about health risks. For this, an opinion survey was carried out with a sample of the population from August 29 to October 31, 2022, and was investigated the relationship, between the level of discomfort with socioeconomic characteristics, such as age group, gender, level of education and place of residence, in addition to other indicators, such as changes in lifestyle and health problems. The responses were compared with measured data on air quality at the monitoring stations closest to the respondents' neighborhood of residence. Subsequently, a cross-correlation analysis was carried out considering all the evaluated parameters and, finally, a multiple regression model was used by the stepwise method, remaining, in the end, only the most significant predictors (at the 95% level). The main factors that determined the population's level of discomfort were: age group, family income, perception of air quality in the place of residence, presence of dust and opacity in the air, frequency of house cleaning to remove dust, making changes in lifestyle and whether or not the individual is a smoker.

Authors: Millena Dorneles Pinheiro , Silvana Peterini Boeira, Tiago André Kaminski, Luana Barreta Meichtry, Franciele Romero Machado , Vandreza Cardoso Bortolotto
Abstract: This work aims to elaborate diets based on rice by-products for the nutrition of Drosophila melanogaster and to verify the acceptability of the experimental model. To identify the nutritional composition of the samples, chemical analyzes were performed on: rice polishing bran (FPA); rice burnished bran (FBA); coarse cornmeal (FMG) and medium cornmeal (FMM). The composition of rice flour was obtained from the literature. The diets were developed with the ingredients used in the standard diet, replacing corn flour with rice by-products in different proportions in each of the diets. In the laboratory, the consistency of the diets and food consumption were tested. In the chemical analyses, the following results were obtained: higher ash, lipid, protein and dietary fiber content in rice bran compared to corn flour; Higher amount of carbohydrates in the rice flour sample, followed by FMM, FMG, FPA and FBA; Only the caloric value of FBA differed statistically. Regarding the diets: The protein content of the FFA and standard diets were similar, the FA diet had higher values; The FA and FFA diets exhibited a higher amount of lipids; The FA and FFA diets had less carbohydrates; The caloric value remained similar in the three diets. In the food consumption test, there was no statistical difference between the diets. The results of the study provide evidence that it is possible to develop diets based on rice by-products, with nutritional quality and that there was acceptance of the diets by the experimental model.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to analyze the chemical composition and evaluate the antioxidant capacity, the concentration of bioactive compounds of a cereal bar added with whole cowpea flour (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) and Apis mellifera bee honey. These regional raw materials were used in the development of the cereal bar in order to increase bioactive compounds and improve the nutritional quality of this product. Analysis of centesimal composition, caloric content, dietary fiber, bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity were carried out. The use of the BRS Tumucumaque cultivar promoted an increase in the nutritional value of the developed product. The food bar exhibited very high levels of dietary fiber, which makes it a food classified as high in dietary fiber. It showed expressive levels of total phenolics, total flavonoids, condensed tannins and antioxidant activity. The use of regional raw materials in the production of food bars proved to be a great option in the supply of nutrients and bioactive compounds.

Abstract: Nowadays, plant-based beverages have somehow become a lifestyle tool, consumed by many not just because of dietary issues, but also for individual beliefs as well. Brazil, due to its wide biodiversity, has a high potential to play an active role in the global scenario in the production of these beverages. The aim of this work was to identify the main scientific works about Brazilians nuts plant-based beverages, in order to highlight which plants has been used, how these beverages has been prepared and what is their nutritional, biochemical, antioxidant and sensory potential. The study is a systematic review, using data available in different bases of CAPES journals (Scopus, Web of Science, Pubmed, Embase and Scielo), following the steps: formulation of the question, data collection (identification), selection (exclusion), definition of eligibility characteristics and analysis of selected evidence. 3,598 articles were identified, where through the selection process 12 documents were approved. These beverages have an intermediate sensorial acceptance and a high nutritional potential. Currently, in Brazil there are ranges of nuts options that can still be explored. There are few scientific studies related to the subject, however, through research in different databases, a gradual increase have been noted by the years. These scientific experiments are important to verify and/or verify the potential of these almonds/nuts originating in Brazil in the preparation of plant-based beverages, since the demand for healthy alternatives to animal-based products also grows every day.

Abstract: Digitalis mariana (Plantaginaceae) is considered native to Western, Southwestern and Central western Europe. It is a species of medicinal interest, given mainly by its cardiotonic glycosides used in the treatment of heart failure. Modifications in the culture medium can be performed to improve the in vitro culture. It has been reported that plant growth and development are affected by silicon application. Thus, the objective was to evaluate the growth, total cardenolide content and photosynthetic pigments in D. mariana cultivated under different sources and doses of silicon in culture medium. Plant material was established in vitro. After this process, three sources of Silicon were tested: Potassium, Calcium and Sodium silicate at concentrations of 0, 0.5, 1.5, 4.5, 7.5, 10.5 mg L-1. After 40 days, analytical validation was performed and growth, photosynthetic pigments and total cardenolides were evaluated. The different sources and concentrations promoted shoot and root growth, increased the levels of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids and cardenolides. The use of 0.5 mg L-1 of sodium silicate promoted higher leaf and total dry biomass. Calcium silicate and potassium silicate at a concentration of 4.5 mg L-1 promoted higher levels of cardenolides. The cultivation of D. mariana under sources of silicon at different concentrations is a promising technique for optimizing the production of seedlings and secondary metabolites.

2013-2020
Authors: Rubens Barbosa Rezende
Abstract: The objective was to analyze the reported cases of thyroid cancer in Brazil, associating the variables: age group, gender, federative unit of diagnosis, year of diagnosis, detailed diagnosis, and therapeutic modality. Thus, was conducted a descriptive epidemiological study of quantitative character, using data available in the official notification bank of the Ministry of Health/Brazil, DATASUS. And because they are secondary data and in the public domain, it was not necessary to submit this study to the Research Ethics Committee. According to the period investigated, there was a total of 19.122 cases of thyroid cancer reported, 3.074 in men, equivalent to 16.08%, and 16.048 in women, with a percentage of 83.92%. Furthermore, it is possible to verify that cases of thyroid cancer in men and women had a significant increase in the period from 2018 to 2021, if compared to previous years. However, the cases in the female gender obtained an increase from 2017 to 2018 of about 39 times. It is concluded that the incidence and prevalence of thyroid cancer have increased in recent years, especially in females, and the age group 50 to 54 years was the most prevalent, obtaining 944 cases, being the highest rate in the period analyzed and among the other age groups.

Abstract: Helicobacter Pylori (HP) infection affects billions of people around the world, and this bacterium is considered the most prevalent infectious agent in humans. In recent years, the literature has shown a possible association between this infection and the development of coronary artery disease (CAD), since both conditions are considered chronic diseases, sharing similar pathophysiological events. The present study aims to evaluate the association between HP infection and the risk of developing CAD. For this Scoping Review, carried out through the PubMed and Cochrane Library platforms between 2022 and 2012, the chosen descriptors were ''Helicobacter Pylori'', ''Coronary Disease'' and ''Heart'', associated exclusively with the Boolean operator ''AND''. Inclusion criteria consisted of 1) clinical trials, controlled and randomized tests, reviews and meta-analyses, 2) studies on the association between CAD and PH, 3) studies that evaluated the extent of cardiovascular damage due to PH infection and 4) articles written in Portuguese, Japanese, English or Spanish. Exclusion criteria included inadequacies to the theme, case reports and studies with animals, in addition to texts outside the time limit. The evidence found suggested that the main cardiovascular adverse effects related to HP infection were associated with CAD, atherosclerosis, systemic arterial hypertension and acute myocardial infarction. Screening methods, interventional evaluations and indications for the use of laboratory markers, as well as further clinical analysis of this interaction, remain topics to be better elucidated.

- Metastasis to the oral cavity: a systematic review
Authors: Larissa Fernanda dos Santos Lima Macedo, André Pereira Falcão, Wladimir Gushiken de Campos, Celso Augusto Lemos Júnior, Lucyene Miguita, Carina Domaneschi
Abstract: The present study proposed to systematically review case reports of metastasis to the oral cavity and compile epidemiological, clinical, radiological, and histopathological features, intending to identify common aspects that may favor early diagnosis of such condition. Articles were found by searching the following databases: PubMed; EMBASE; LIVIVO; Web of Science; LILACS; Scopus and SciELO. The search was carried out in March 2021 by two independent researchers, with no restrictions of publication date or language. A total of 2379 studies were retrieved and 60 articles completely matched inclusion criteria, totalizing 65 cases from 19 countries. Metastasis to oral cavity cases were slightly frequent in males (1.7:1) in the sixth decade of life, manifesting in oral soft tissues (58%, 37/65), mostly originated from the lungs (20%, 13/65) as primary site. Adenocarcinoma was the most reported type of malignacy. In 51% of cases the oral metastatic lesion was the first sign of cancer and 60% of the patients already presented metastasis to other locations. In 23% of the reports, only benign lesions were considered as diagnostic hypothesis, due to a remarkable clinical resemblance to hyperplastic, reactive lesions and odontogenic infections. The survival probability at 6 months after oral metastasis diagnosis was 49%. Metastatic lesions to the oral cavity are often misdiagnosed as benign lesions; due to its severity and quick progression, they must be considered in the differential diagnosis process, conducted by a multidisplinary healthcare team comprising an oral surgeon, especially for patients with history of cancer.

care
Authors: Sara Ferreira Resende, Roberta Divina de Sousa Lima, Isabela Macedo Vitorino dos Santos, Marcelle Aparecida de Barros Junqueira, Aryelle da Costa Batista da Luz, Fernanda Ferreira Amuy
Abstract: Noncommunicable Diseases and Injuries (NCDs), including Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and its complications are responsible for more than half of deaths in Brazil, being identified, in 2018, 54.7% of deaths and 11.5 % of deaths from injuries. DM is a pathology of multiple etiologies, resulting from the lack of insulin and/or its inability to exert its effective effects, for glycemic control the patient requires adaptations to the lifestyle. Objective: To describe the coping strategies of DM patients in primary care. Method: This is a quantitative, exploratory, cross-sectional survey study. The research was carried out in a Family Health Strategy (ESF) using questionnaires with sociodemographic information, and the Coping Strategies inventory created by Folkman and Lazarus. Results. In the total of 59 samples, 64.4% are male and 35.6% are female, we found that only 8.5% have type 1 DM and 91.5% have type 2 DM, of the 81.4% of patients have high blood pressure. The coping strategies most used by patients were social support in contrast to the outcome of the confrontation strategy. Conclusion. The results of the study revealed social support among the most relevant coping skills presented, which proved to be an important resource for which primary care is responsible for facilitating this process, and aiming to guarantee the prevention of injuries and maintain the quality of life, stress control is necessary since it is linked to the conditioning of patients.

Abstract: Pregnancy is considered a moment of great joy for women, while requiring essential care. The objective of this work is to analyze in the scientific literature the problems related to obesity during pregnancy for the mother-child binomial. This is an integrative literature review, for which the Virtual Health Library (VHL) was used, with articles from the LILACS, MEDLINE and BDENF databases, using the health descriptors (DeCS) "Pregnancy" and "Obesity”. A total of 82 articles were found, from which, after filtering and reading the abstracts, 10 of them were selected that were consistent with the theme in question. Articles written in Portuguese and English, available in full, during the period from 2016 to 2021 and that fit the chosen theme, prior to 2016 and that were not available in full or that did not converge with the theme in question, were included. The results showed that obesity can cause serious problems for the mother and the child, in the long and short term. For the mother, there is a risk of gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, hypertensive disease specific to pregnancy, in addition to cesarean sections and risk of maternal mortality; for the conceptus: large for gestational age, macrosomia, and perinatal/fetal mortality. Therefore, it is the role of nursing to guide these women before conception on issues related to their nutrition, and during prenatal care to provide advice on healthy eating patterns along with systematic monitoring, so that weight gain is adequate for both involved.

the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: integrative review
Authors: Thaline Jaques Rodrigues, Tuize Damé Hense, Viviane Marten Milbrath, Ruth Irmgard Bärtschi Gabatz, Gabriela Braun Petry, Fátima Rosângela Rodrigues Soares
Abstract: The study aimed to know the publications on the formation of the bond between parents and infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in the last 10 years (2012-2022). An integrative literature review was carried out, based on searches in the Online Search and Analysis System of Medical Literature, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, Nursing Database, using the descriptors: Link and Therapy Unit Intensive Neonatal connected by the Boolean operator AND, in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Resulting in 17 articles. Three categories were elaborated to present the results: factors that hinder the promotion of the bond; measures that facilitate the parental bond with the infant and; the importance of the health team to strengthen the bond. Through the review, it was possible to understand that the parents of newborns hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit have feelings such as fear, anguish and sadness, which influence the formation and strengthening of the bond. The performance of care by the parents while the infant was hospitalized was highlighted as important in the bonding, in addition, the support of professionals was considered fundamental for the parents to have confidence in carrying out the care.

a clinic in the city of Imperatriz-MA
Authors: Bruna Bressan Acker, Eduardo Martins Penna, Gustavo Bezerra Nascimento, João Vitor Batista Corrêa Sousa, José Ribamar Carvalho Branco Neto, Maylla Rodrigues Lucena
Abstract: Glaucoma is damage to the optic nerve, associated with an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) with a reference between 10 and 21 mmHg, with the main outcome being blindness. The research objective is to know the clinical and epidemiological profile of patients with glaucoma treated at a clinic in the city of Imperatriz - MA. Descriptive, retrospective study with a quantitative approach. Attendance records were studied to verify the rate of patients diagnosed with glaucoma. Data were acquired from a database (medical records) of patients seen from June 2020 to June 2022, in an emergency service at a private clinic, from August to September 2022. individuals assisted during this study period, only those diagnosed with glaucoma aged over 40 years, of both sexes, time of diagnosis and IOP were selected. The population of this study has a mean age of 70 to 79 years and the female gender prevailed. The main cause of the low vision found was untreated or inadequately treated glaucoma. Little is known about the pathophysiological processes of glaucoma and it is believed that its definition is still unfinished. Further research on the prevalence of glaucoma in the city of Imperatriz is suggested. The study results are consistent with the pre-existing literature. The diagnosis of a potentially large number of patients with glaucoma is a very complex task in terms of logistics and socioeconomic impact.

- The cooperation between genetic and epigenetic factors in the pathogenesis
of Alzheimer's disease
Authors: Gustavo Henrich Pereira Nunes, Maria Fernanda Londe de Lima, Priscila Capelari Orsolin
Abstract: Aging is an inevitable result of life, characterized by a progressive decline in the function of tissues and organs and an increased risk of mortality. Along with the increase in the elderly population, observed in recent years, there is an increase in the prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The present study consists of an integrative literature review in order to identify the influence of genetic and epigenetic factors in the pathogenesis of AD. The search was carried out during the months of September, October and November 2022, considering studies published in the period between 2014 and 2022, in the following databases: VHL, PubMed MEDLINE, SCIELO, Google Scholar and EbscoHost. It is now very clear that all characteristics of an individual are not determined by DNA alone, but by environment, stress, lifestyle and nutrition that play a vital role in determining an organism's response. In this sense, epigenetic mechanisms involve structural and biochemical changes in chromatin, without alterations in the DNA sequence, which disfigure the expression pattern of genes, affecting several physiological and pathological processes. Therefore, this imbalance in the homeostasis of epigenetic mechanisms is the basis for the abnormal expression of genes related to synaptic plasticity and memory, areas that are notably altered in the initial manifestations of AD. Given the reversible nature of epigenetic mechanisms, these pathways provide promising avenues for therapy against cognitive decline and better prognosis for the disease.

- Growth promotion and phosphorus solubilization, by Bacillus megaterium and
B. subitilis, via seed inoculation, associated with phosphate
fertilization, in soybean
Authors: Vandeir Francisco Guimarães, Jeferson Klein, Débora Kestring Klein
Abstract: The plant-microorganism interaction has been the focus of research in recent decades. The objective was to evaluate the agronomic efficiency of the inoculant, containing Bacillus megaterium and B. subitilis, for soybean, via seeds, associated with phosphate fertilization. Four trials were conducted, from October 2019 to March 2020 in Palotina/PR, São Miguel do Iguaçu/PR, Cascavel/PR and Toledo/PR, with the cultivar Piooner® 96y90. In a randomized block design, with seven treatments and four replications, the following were tested: control; 50% phosphate fertilization (super triple) and without inoculation; 100% phosphate fertilization and without inoculation; 50% phosphorus fertilization and seed inoculation with Bacillus megaterium and B. subitilis (50 mL per 50kg-1 of seeds); 50% phosphorus fertilization and seed inoculation with Bacillus megaterium and B. subitilis (100 mL per 50kg-1); 50% phosphorus fertilization and seed inoculation with Bacillus megaterium and B. subitilis (150 mL per 50kg-1); and 50% phosphorus fertilization and seed inoculation with Bacillus megaterium and B. subitilis (200 mL per 50kg-1). At the R1 stage, plants were collected to evaluate plant height, stem diameter, mass of leaves, roots and nodules; number of nodules per plant and leaf N, P and K contents. After harvesting, grain productivity and N, P and K contents were estimated. The results demonstrated the agronomic efficiency of the inoculant containing Bacillus megaterium and Bacillus subitilis, at a dose of 100 mL per 50 kg of seeds, with half the phosphorus dose for the soybean crop.

- Carbon stock in densimetric fractions of soil organic matter in different
land use systems in Eastern Amazonia
Authors: Alcione Santos de Souza, Luis de Souza Freitas, Jessivaldo Rodrigues Galvão
Abstract: Studies have demonstrated that certain compartments of SOM are capable of detecting transformations in soil C contents with management, that is, with or without burning, but are able to detect, more quickly, observed reductions are generally greater than the observed, thus considering the total C content of the soil. The study was carried out in the eastern Amazon, Northeast of Pará, in Igarapé-Açu, yellow Latosol soil, in experimental areas of the communities of Cumaru, Nova Olinda (in properties of small rural producers) and UFRA-FEIGA. The use systems consist of 06 (six) treatments, which are: T1 CC (Cumaru Capoeira), T2 CSQT (Cumaru without comminuted burning), T3 CQ (Cumaru burning), T4 UFC (UFRA Capoeira), T5 UFSQT burned), T6UFQ (UFRA burning). As well as, some SAFs. Soils were sampled at depths of 0-5 cm, 5-10 cm and 10-20 cm. The densitometric fractions were separated for the determination of carbon contents by combustion in the LECO CHN-S TRUSTEC elemental analyzer. The variables were submitted to analysis of variance, compared with the SNK test with the SISVAR statistical program. The fraction that stored carbon was the free light in the systems where there was no burning, with its sensitivity of the soil management system, where there was a greater stirring of this fraction if it was less present. The light, free fraction concentrated by storing more carbon than the occluded fraction in function of its different mechanisms and chemical composition.

southeast region of Pará
Authors: Kalil Izaac de Jesus Almeida, Elizabete de Sousa Costa, Fernando Gomes de Oliveira, Flavio Gomes de Oliveira, Leonardo Vaz Pereira, Mariana Masseo Saldanha, Veruska Dilyanne Silva Gomes
Abstract: Rabbit farming can be viable as an activity that generates extra income in small rural properties, since it does not require high investments for its development. The southeast region of Pará is characterized by high temperatures and relative humidity, in this context, the use of material for environmental enrichment can beneficially help the well-being of animals and contribute to minimize stress in environments with high temperatures. The present work was developed with the objective of evaluating the behavior and interaction with materials used for environmental enrichment of rabbits kept in collective pens in the climatic conditions of Southeast Pará. The experiment was carried out in the rabbit breeding sector of the Federal Rural University of Amazônia, campus Parauapebas, PA. The behavior and preference for material for environmental enrichment of four rabbits housed in a collective shed were evaluated. Data collection was carried out over three days, in the morning and afternoon at intervals of 10 minutes, totaling 18 hours of observation. The ambient temperature varied between 33°C and 26.3°C. The most frequent behavior both in the morning and in the afternoon was idleness. In the morning there was a greater interaction between the rabbits and the ceramics and in the afternoon there was a greater preference for the beaten floor, these two materials had the lowest temperatures during the experiment. It is concluded that environmental enrichment can be a strategy to reduce stress and favor thermal heat exchange in rabbit rearing kept at high temperatures.

with Attention Déficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Authors: Júlia de Oliveira Alves, Ana Carolina Nakao e Borges, Marcela Cardoso e Castro, Paula Marynella Alves Pereira Lima
Abstract: Introduction: The Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurological condition that impairs focus or attention, it is a pathology frequently diagnosed in childhood, however, it is not identified until adolescence. Generally, there is a genetic component in the pathophysiology of ADHD, however, there are other causes that are not yet well established. Objective: To analyze clinical aspects and the treatment indicated for young people diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Methodology: This is a narrative review of the literature, with articles selected from the databases: National Library of Medicine (PubMed MEDLINE), EbscoHost, Google Scholar, Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO) and Virtual Health Library (BVS) Results: According to the review conducted, it was found that ADHD is composed of two groups of symptoms: inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity. In addition, inattention and impulsivity problems are characteristics that parents often ignore, contributing to a late diagnosis. Furthermore, adolescents and adults have less hyperactivity than children; however, there is a significant deficit in executive functions, which may compromise their intellectual development. Conclusion: We can state that ADHD symptoms vary according to gender, age, and type of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Therefore, a prior diagnosis is of utmost importance for the young ADHD sufferer to have a good quality of life, as provided by the World Health Organization.

- Academic monitoring of the subject of nutritional assessment: experience
report in the process of return to personal classes post pandemic
Authors: Isabel Cristina Lopes Ferreira, Vanessa da Silva Carlos, Laís Nanci Pereira Navarro
Abstract: The discipline of nutritional assessment, fundamental for the development of nutritionists, is composed of theoretical and practical activities that dedicated dedication and exercise of the contents. However, after returning to face-to-face activities, students found it difficult to adapt and develop learning. This study aims to report the experience of academic monitoring in the return to face-to-face classes, in a hybrid format. This research is of the qualitative and quantitative experience report type, with data collection carried out through a comparison between the averages of the estimates, before and after the beginning of the program and an online dialogue with 7 objective questions, which were incorporated by the students about classification with monitoring. The results showed a 25% increase in the average of the estimates, and 100% satisfaction with the monitor's activities and ways of working, both face-to-face and remote. With this, the importance of monitoring is reintegrated into practical disciplines in the area of health.

2021
Authors: Luana Pacheco Espíndola, Beatriz de Melo Nogueira, Stella Paula de Queiroz, Higor Braga Cartaxo
Abstract: Anemia is a pathology characterized by reduced erythrocyte and hemoglobin mass, which may result in low tissue oxygenation. In patients with COVID-19, this condition proved to be important because it represents a possible risk factor. This is a descriptive observational epidemiological study, with a quantitative approach, carried out with data obtained on the DATASUS platform, which were analyzed and statistically compared. The objective was to draw a sociodemographic profile of patients affected by anemia of different etiologies between 2019 and 2021, the years of the pandemic in Brazil. As a result, hospitalizations due to anemia were highlighted in the Southeast region, especially in the state of São Paulo, and emergency hospitalizations prevailed over elective ones. In addition, the female, brown and elderly population (over 60 years old) was the most prevalent in the reported cases, and the only macro-region in which the numbers of hospitalizations dropped continuously, from 2019 to 2021, was the South Region. This information allows the creation of an epidemiological profile of anemia and the identification of its incidence forms to apply the findings in the context of a patient with COVID and establish a temporal parallel between these two conditions and their correlation to clinical worsening.

- Scientific and technological prospection on the use of Cannabis sativa
(Hemp) in neuropathic patients or with neuropsychiatric disorders
Authors: Jussara Fabiano de Oliveira, Any Gabrielly de Jesus Costa, Aida Carla Santana de Melo Costa, Licia Santos Santana, Davi Santana Sousa, Maria Jane das Virgens Aquino
Abstract: Neurodegenerative diseases and/or disorders, as well as pediatric neuropathies and neuropsychiatric disorders are multicausal and have in common the direct or indirect impact on the performance of activities of daily living, whether for psychological, social or economic reasons for the individual and family. The current treatments available are generally pharmacological for symptom control and progression delay, not encompassing disease regression or prevention. Due to the need for new therapeutic approaches in recent years, there has been an increase in the number of studies involving herbal medicines derived from plants with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant bioactive potential, which provides alternative and economic methods for the population. Among plants with therapeutic potential, Cannabis sativa has become the focus of research because it has more than 560 constituents with therapeutic potential for the treatment and relief of symptoms in serious diseases, such as CBD and THC cannabinoids. This potential can be explained by its ability to interact with the cannabinoid system, an important regulator of physiological processes in the human body, composed of eCBs, AEA and 2-AG that couple to CB1 and CB2 receptors present in the CNS and PNS. These receptors are G protein-coupled, therefore C. sativa cannabinoids have the potential to interact with G protein receptors, being able to interact with neurotransmitters and neuromodulators involved in psychomotor coordination, memory, mood and pain. In view of the above, the present study aimed to collect and analyze qualitative and quantitative data for the analysis of Cannabis sativa in therapeutics against neuropathologies, neuropsychiatric disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. The present study is an exploratory and qualitative-quantitative research carried out through a survey of data for scientific and technological prospection during the period from October 20, 2021 to July 20, 2022. To search for articles PubMed and ScienceDirect databases were used. Meanwhile, the EPO, WIPO and INPI databases were used for patent searches. The analysis continued with the identification of relevant publications based on the presence of keywords in the title or abstract. As a result, the qualitative-quantitative study exposed a low number of patents and articles related to the subject, which may be justified due to the use of opioids as a mechanism of medicinal treatment still being a target of studies, despite having millenary records of the use of this plant in specific for medicinal purposes in Asia, which highlights the importance of developing new studies to evaluate in vitro and in vivo the agonist activity of the compounds exposed above. Therefore, it is possible to conclude, given the above, that phytocannabinoids have potential for the treatment of neuropathies, neuropsychiatric disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.

- The types of grafts used in surgical treatment and effects of physical
therapy treatment in athletes with ACL rupture
Authors: Ayrton Soares Melo Neto, Daniel Paulino Braga, João Pedro Bicalho Borges de Andrade, Danyane Simão Gomes
Abstract: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and their treatments have been much discussed, considering that it is one of the most frequent injuries in the knee. This fact occurs due to its biomechanical importance in this joint. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effects of pre- and postoperative treatments and their influence on the ACL recovery process. This was an integrative literature review. The search was conducted by online access to the National Library of Medicine (PubMed MEDLINE), Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR), Google Scholar, Virtual Health Library (VHL) and EBSCO Information Services databases, from September to December 2022. Regarding the process of ACL recovery, it is important to emphasize the pre-surgical rehabilitation, seeking to restore neuromuscular function and proprioception of the knee, in addition to strengthening thigh muscles, such as the quadriceps, which will be important for the follow-up of the post-surgical rehabilitation process until the return to sports. During surgery, two main techniques are used as grafting, the patellar-tendon-bone (PTO) technique and the semitendinosus and gracilis quadruple graft (EQSG). Finally, a post-surgical rehabilitation with a period of at least 8 months without returning to sports. We conclude that the main types of grafts used are the OTO and EQSG. The quadriceps tendon (TO) was shown to be a viable option for treatment, however, the OTO autograft is currently the most indicated for the surgical process of ACL rupture.

via PMAQ-CEO
Authors: Daniela Brehm Wurzel, Diógenes Dias Oliveira, Míria Elisabete Bairros de Camargo, Caren Serra Bavaresco, Flávio Renato Reis de Moura
Abstract: This study aimed to verify in the Brazilian macro-regions the accessibility in the establishment and the profile of Special Needs Patients (SNPs) with guaranteed care in the Specialized Dental Care Center- SDCC. The study was descriptive, the data was collected from 2nd phase of the National Program form Improving the Access and Quality of SDCC (PMAQ-CEO, in Portuguese) database and it was organized in Excel® a database with interest variables. It was found that more than 80% of CEOs have accessibility features, 90% of the CEOs of the Southeast macro-region guarantee access SNPs with involuntary movements, 60% of the CEOs of the North macro-region scheduled the SNPs until 15 days, the Northeast (50,4%) showed greater percent CEOs with a workload of 20-39 hours to care to SNPs and Center-west showed grater percent (77,2%) of referral of SNPs to hospital care (media 1-2 patients/year). Relationship to SNPs’ profile and in highlight, the CEOs of the Southeast (89%) and South (82%) macro-regions guaranteed care to patients with involuntary movements and patients with visual or hearing impairment, of speech or physical without behavioral disorders, respectively. In conclusion, the accessibility to SNPs is being guaranteed by a majority of the CEOs in all the Brazilian macro-regions and the Southeast macro-region provides greater access to patients with profile involuntary movements and South to those with visual, hearing, speech, or physical disability. Public financial investments are being well used by the CEOs regarding the accessibility and profile of the SNPs.

- The impact of COVID-19 on the training of oral maxillofacial surgeons
Authors: Iago Barbosa Vidal, Breno Souza Benevides, Dulce Maria de Lucena Aguiar, Gabriel Gouveia Frota, Maria Thayanne Duarte Alcântara, Paulo Leonardo Ponte Marques
Abstract: Dental surgeons with oral and maxillofacial specialties are trained in a hospital setting, a requirement of the qualification process in the area. However, with the emergence of COVID-19 and the speed of its spread, various activities in society were interrupted. Such a fact reverberated in professional training. This study aimed to analyze the perception of oral and maxillofacial surgery residents about the impact of COVID-19 on their training. Research with a qualitative approach had, as a scenario, four hospitals with residencies in oral and maxillofacial surgery in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. Sixteen residents were interviewed in the second half of 2020 by a trained researcher using a semi-structured questionnaire about the impact of COVID-19 on the training process, perceived gaps, attitudinal changes, and psychosocial repercussions. The interviewer recorded and transcribed the interviews. Later, the content was investigated based on the assumptions of the theory of bounded rationality. After the reading process, four analytical categories emerged: changes in daily life, biosecurity and health protocols, social and psychological impacts, and agreement in managerial attitudes. Despite the dissatisfaction, given the complex and uncertain scenario, virtualization was the only casual alternative to avoid a more considerable effect on training. In the residents' perception, there was a significant loss of activities that harmed the technical and psychological aspects, requiring management monitoring to fill this gap in training.

- Analysis of pathological manifestation stemming from excess humidity in
fnde standard polysports courts in the municipality of Piripiri-PI
Authors: Fabricio de Sousa Lira, Franscisco Arteiro de Oliveira, Franscisco Robson da Silva
Abstract: The present work aimed to survey and identify the pathologies present in FNDE (National Fund for Education Development) Standard Multisports Courts, existing in the city of Piripiri-PI. Through the visual inspection method, it was investigated the symptoms and possible causes of the manifestations observed in the buildings under study, as well as the necessary mitigating measures to solve or solve such problems. The lack of periodic maintenance of these structures is a worrisome factor, since their quality and durability are directly related to the appearance of such manifestations. Due to these and other factors, it is necessary to elaborate a project with caution and use good quality materials, always worrying about the appearance of problems arising from errors in execution, design, or indiscriminate use of available space. The present work was based on visual inspection, photographic records, and architectural designs of 03 FNDE standard multi-sports courts. From the data collected, it was found that the main pathologies observed are associated with moisture problems caused mainly by water infiltration. Among the main manifestations observed can be cited the corrosion, fissures, cracks, splits and morphing in the masonry. Periodic and specialized maintenance is essential for the conservation of buildings, as well as their conscious use.

- Perceptions, evidence and prevention of STIs among students from two
reference high schools in the city of Paudalho/PE
Authors: Iasmin Alice da Silva, Livia Maria Marques Pereira, Fausto José de Araújo Muniz, Anísio Francisco Soares
Abstract: Sexuality, which is awakened at the stage of puberty, is an inherent aspect of being human. From this period, physical and psychosocial changes occur. Thus, the absence of educational guidelines regarding this phase lead to the recurrence of the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In this sense, the present study aimed to evaluate, through a questionnaire, the understanding and prevalence of STIs among students of the EREM Confederação do Ecuador, located in Paudalho, PE, in order to obtain information to design and carry out educational interventions. The evaluation found that, although only 15.6% of the students consider they have a low level of knowledge about sexuality, 34.8% of the students consider they do not understand about STIs and AIDS. Furthermore, although 0.5% of students answered “yes” to the prevalence of STIs between the period 2020 to 2021 and 1.1% answered “maybe”, 10.3% of students answered that they may have had symptoms associated with STI's (changes in the genitalia: wounds, warts, secretions, different colored fluid) and 5.7% responded that they actually had these changes. Therefore, despite the ease of access to information from the development of the internet and social networks, ignorance about sexuality and STI prevention is still present, due to the absence of control and guidance regarding the bias of disseminated information and seen in these social tools.

- Use of physical and chemical methods to overcome dormancy in Mouriri
cearensis Huber seeds
Authors: Vitória Bezerra Ramos, Adélia Vitória Domingos Pontes, Eliseu Marlônio Pereira de Lucena
Abstract: Dormancy is the process in which one or more blocking mechanisms limit seed germination, requiring external stimuli. Mouriri cearensis Huber, popularly known as “manipuçá”, is an endemic and native species of Brazil, with confirmed occurrences only in the North and Northeast of Brazil. The objective of the present work was to evaluate different physical and chemical methods to overcome the dormancy of Mouriri cearensis seeds. To overcome dormancy, M. cearensis seeds were subjected to the following pre-germination treatments: control; fragmentation; sandpaper; fragmentation + GA3; sandpaper + GA3; H2O/24 h; H2O/48 h; substrate with GA3; substrate with KNO3; immersion in GA3; immersion in KNO3; immersion in H2O; and scarification in H2SO4. The following parameters were evaluated: germination test, first count, germination speed index, radicle and seedling lengths, fresh weight and dryness of the radicle and seedling. The most efficient methods to overcome manipuçá seed dormancy were treatments with fragmentation, fragmentation + GA3 and mechanical scarification with sandpaper nº 80. It is worth mentioning that it is necessary to carry out more studies on the germination of species of the genus Mouriri, aiming to know the germination process, preserve the species and produce seedlings.

- Creatine supplementation in the elderly: effects and benefits
Authors: João Pedro Arruda Pessoa, Ana Luísa Braga Campos, Anthony Emerson Pereira Martins Silva, Arthur Moura de Matos, Lara Fernanda Papalardo Brandão, Aline Cardoso de Paiva, Mateus Lopes de Faria
Abstract: The elderly population has shown an increase in Brazilian demographic indices, in this sense, aging is correlated with reductions in muscle, bone and immune functionality, in which creatine supplementation has been presented as a therapy. The objective was to identify in the literature the influence of creatine on metabolism, distinguishing the effects and benefits. This is a descriptive research of the narrative literature review type, through online access to the PubMed MEDLINE, Scielo, Google Scholar, BVS and EBSCO databases, in December 2022. The keywords present in the descriptors in Health Sciences (DeCS) were used to search for works: “creatine”, “aging”, “sarcopenia” and “frailty”, totaling 21 materials for review after selection. Senility is configured by organic changes such as osteoporosis, sarcopenia, osteosarcopenia and immunosenescence. In this bias, creatine has benefits by stimulating the release of growth factors, the synthesis of anabolic proteins and the energy supply that enable the differentiation of satellite cells in muscle tissue and the predominance of osteoblastic action compared to osteoclastic action, enabling the therapy of the pathologies of senility. In addition, it plays an immunological role, mediated by the regulatory effect of chronic inflammation and inhibition of oxidative stress. Therefore, the viability of the use of dietary creatine supplementation in the elderly population is enshrined, requiring research directed at the group to adapt its nutritional application.

North region of Brazil during the period of social isolation of the
COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Raiany de Souza Feijó, Wagner Jorge Ribeiro Domingues, Emely Kércia Santiago de Souza Brandão, Débora Alves Guariglia
Abstract: Lifestyle represents a set of everyday actions reflected in people's attitudes and values. During the pandemic, there was a reduction in the time used for physical activity and changes in eating habits, possibly resulting in an increase in sedentary behavior and negatively affecting the body mass index (BMI) of university students in the northern region of Brazil. The objective was to identify the influence of lifestyle on the BMI of university students in the northern region of Brazil, during social isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This was a cross-sectional observational study, comprising 432 undergraduate and graduate students from public and private universities, of both sexes, with a mean age of 26.2 ± 8.6 years. Lifestyle was verified using the questionnaire “Estilo de Vida Fantástico'' Brazilian version conducted by Añez, Reis & Petroski (2008), being classified in points, being Excellent (85-100), Very good (70-84), Good (55-69), Fair (35-54) and Needs Improvement (0-34). BMI was calculated by the ratio between body mass and height squared. Participants were classified into Underweight, Normal Weight, Overweight and Obesity. The influence of lifestyle on BMI was verified using the chi-square test, with an alpha error of 5%. There were statistically significant associations between lifestyle and BMI with P = 0.003. The findings suggest that lifestyle influences the BMI of university students, showing that students classified as having a good lifestyle had normal BMI.

- Oral health care network for People with Disabilities: challenges and
potentialities of Primary Health Care
Authors: Leticia Ferreira de Carvalho, Isabel Cristina Gonçalves Leite, Beatriz Francisco Farah
Abstract: Primary health care (APS) is the communication center of health care networks and its function is to coordinate care. The objective of this work was to analyze the oral health care network for people with disabilities (RASB-PcD) and to identify the main challenges and potentialities so that APS can fulfill its coordinating role. This is a qualitative, exploratory-descriptive research. Data collection through focus groups and interviews with oral health professionals who work in micro-regions of Minas Gerais. The technique for data analysis was Laurence Bardin's content analysis, with the help of the IRAMUTEQ software. The referral flow in this RASB-PcD is established, but it has inconsistencies, whereas the counter-referral flow shows weaknesses. Criteria and protocols for access to hospital services need to be better discussed and preoperative tests need to be performed in a timely manner. The offer of vacancies in specialized services and in hospital services was identified as a challenge. Improving communication and articulation between professionals, through solid strategies of matrixial support and permanent education, emerged as a potential so that APS can coordinate care and guarantee its longitudinality, providing comprehensive care for people with disabilities.

- Allium schoenoprasum L. extract inhibits the growth of Staphylococcus
aureus and Escherichia coli in vitro
Authors: Andrieli Magueroski , João Paulo Assolini
Abstract: Objective: This research aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of hydroalcoholic extracts of Allium schoenoprasum against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in vitro. Methodology: The hydroalcoholic extract of A. schoenoprasum was prepared using 70% alcohol, then different extract concentrations (1, 10 and 100 µg/mL) were incubated with S. aureus and E. coli in BHI broth for 48 hours, and bacterial growth was evaluated by spectrophotometry. Results: It was observed that the concentrations of 10 and 100 µg/mL of the extract were able to inhibit the growth of S. aureus and E. coli bacteria after 48 hours when compared to the control. Conclusion: The extract of A. Schoenoprasum can inhibit the growth of E. coli and S. aureus in vitro, which may be due to substances present in the leaves of the plant, such as tannins and phenolic compounds, however, future studies may verify the toxicity of the extract in host cells and even understand the mechanism of action of antimicrobial activity.

Abstract: Introduction: Childhood cancer was considered an acute disease with a poor prognosis. Currently, it has a high possibility of cure, with a potential increase in survival. Oncology Nursing is part of the multidisciplinary team, it is up to professionals to establish a helping relationship with the patient and family, through effective communication, humanizing care, promoting symptom control, measures for pain relief and psychological comfort, the professionals should seek to provide patients with biopsychosocial well-being throughout the treatment. Objective: to identify the actions carried out by nurses aimed at comprehensive care for children undergoing cancer treatment. Results: The importance of family support during treatment, as well as the child's coexistence with it and respect for the feelings and beliefs that the professional needs to have, in relation to the patient and his family. The inclusion of the family in the treatment was seen as a positive factor, although nurses still have difficulties in dealing with it. It was possible to analyze that the nurse working in the oncopediatric ward needs to have personal characteristics that make him be there, in addition to his professional skills, to know how to deal with the pain of patients and their families, the scientific knowledge to perform tests and administer medications, the nurse must be prepared to manage his own feelings. Conclusion: It is up to nurses the arduous task of managing not only the technical attributions of nursing, but the personal feelings, of patients and their families, thus it can be observed that caring for children in oncology is complex and can cause a lot of suffering to the team.

- Atypical strains of Toxoplasma gondii and its impact on development of
toxoplasmosis
Authors: Giulia Caroline Dantas Vieira, Érica dos Santos Martins Duarte
Abstract: This article aims to clarify the population structure of T. gondii strains, their virulence patterns, and the characterization of atypical strains addressing changes and complications related to T. gondii strains. Fifty-nine references in Portuguese, English, and Spanish from 1992 to 2021 were selected from the research bases PubMed, SciELO, Elsevier, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, using the keywords Toxoplasma gondii, Genotyping, and toxoplasmosis alone or in a combined form. T. gondii has a life cycle with well-defined sexual reproduction that occurs in nature more rarely in countries of North America and Europe. Based on strains isolated in these regions, the population of T. gondii was differentiated into three clonal lineages, implying a low genetic diversity. Despite the observed genotypic pattern, South America, especially Brazil, has shown the existence of a higher genetic variability, characterizing non-clonal genotype strains called atypical. The presence of these strains may be associated with the wide geographic distribution, fauna, and recombination of clonal strains through the sexual cycle in the feline. The correlation between the virulence of the Brazilian strains and the symptoms presented by patients with toxoplasmosis is not well-defined yet. However, these patients show a greater severity of the disease compared to infections in European and North American countries, pointing to a possible relationship between the genetic polymorphism of T. gondii strains with the pathogenesis of toxoplasmosis.

- Algorithmic racism: a literature review
Authors: Joana Josiane Andriotte Oliveira Lima Nyland
Abstract: Algorithmic racism is a topic that has raised several discussions in the society we live in, as organizations make use of the excuse of profitability to institutionalize the structural racism that we see in our society. From the debate on this topic, we were able to propose real alternatives to combat this practice and mitigate this type of attitude on the part of the technology industry. The objective of this study was to present a discussion based on bibliographical sources that structure a project in higher education based on the theme that generates algorithmic racism. The methodological adornment for structuring the data occurs from an integrative literature review, allowing a connection between the author and the collected data for the qualitative development of his discussion. The results provide a reflection on the importance of this topic for today's society, which lives in a moment of transition where old customs are no longer well regarded by society and some are even criminalized. In this way, discussions like these are extremely important.

- Use of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in dental surgical procedures
Authors: Alisson Moreira Araújo, Karla Beatriz Nogueira de Mesquita, Mauro Wilker Cruz de Azevedo, Edu Gomes Mourão Ribeiro, Karla Geovanna Ribeiro Brígido, Jandenilson Alves Brígido
Abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate the use and applicability of Platelet-rich Fibrin (PRF) in surgical procedures of exodontia. The methodology was to perform an integrative literature review that was developed in six phases, in which the guiding question was elaborated by means of the PICo strategy. Thus bibliographic searches were performed in the electronic portals PubMed, LILACS and Cochrane Library, with the keywords Platelet-Rich Fibrin, Extraction and Regeneration, in which 20 articles were selected for the development of this review. he PRF has been increasingly effective in its various applications, especially in soft tissue healing, post-exodontia, contributing to the healing time, morbidity and amount of analgesics needed to reduce pain. Given the above, it is clear that PRF has a high capacity for the stimulation and regeneration of the natural healing process of tissues at extraction sites. Recent findings indicate that PRP can be considered as an efficient, cost-effective and simple therapeutic support for extraction procedures. Furthermore, the use of PRF in surgical procedures for tooth extraction has been shown to be advantageous in terms of tissue healing and bone regeneration, as well as having an expressive role in reducing the risk of delay in the recovery of patients undergoing therapies with oral bisphosphonates. Improvements in the techniques used with PRF can be summed up, as well as further studies and clinical trials with larger samples may confirm the results discussed in this work.

practice of physical exercises in bodybuilding rooms
Authors: Bianko Ângelo Ferreira do Nascimento, Sandy Hellen Silva Alves , Danilo Haviner Machado Rodrigues, Jairo da Costa Souza, Gustavo Silva dos Anjos, Wanderson Rocha de Carvalho, Edimara dos Santos Silva
Abstract: Introduction: Obesity in adolescence is a worrying factor, therefore, it is necessary to guide this public about obesity at this stage in which structured physical exercise for these young people, linked to good eating habits, is important for maintaining health. It acts in reducing overweight and obesity, raising self-esteem, and improving their quality of life. Objective: It is to understand the possibilities and how physical exercise practiced in bodybuilding gyms can help in the treatment of early adolescent obesity. Justification: The work is justified in the orientation of the teenager about the sedentary lifestyle as one of the main causes of the increase of the corporal weight, in order to propose the weight training as a preventive means. Methodology: The present study is a narrative review, because according to the authors De Oliveira et al. (2022) narrative reviews are classified as a literature review that provide narrative and comprehensive syntheses of information once it has already been published. Final considerations: Therefore, it is inferred that the present work shows that routine bad habits are the main factors that contribute to this comorbidity that has been plaguing these young people at an early age, along with the rise of technology.

- Process management: modern management approach
Authors: Joana Josiane Andriotte Oliveira Lima Nyland
Abstract: Business process management is important because effective business processes are crucial to a company's success. In this way, the present work aims to understand the Management of processes within the scope of Administration, thus aiming at business. Through a bibliographical review of a documental qualitative nature, in this way, the knowledge of other researchers will be used as a theoretical basis to expand the frontiers of knowledge through books, articles, periodicals and papers, and will develop current works. Business process management (BPM) is a structured approach to improving the processes that organizations use to get work done, serve their customers and drive business value. A business process is an activity or set of activities that helps achieve an organization's goals, such as increasing profits or promoting workforce diversity. The results reveal that the role of administrator is the role that a process manager assumes when controlling a process so that it works as planned. The main objective of the administrator role is to ensure that the plan is implemented without any deviations. It is important to note that BPM is not a specific automation technology. While it often involves automating many tasks, it is a mindset and methodology that allows people to streamline operations. This can happen with or without technology.

- Advances and challenges of public policies related to women's health
in Brazil in the last 20 years: a literature review
Authors: Jannefer Leite de Oliveira, Flávio Rocha Gil, Mônica Soares de Araújo Guimarães, Natália de Fátima Gonçalves Amâncio
Abstract: Public policies needed to be revised and expanded to offer comprehensive care to women's health, given that gender is a social, dynamic, relational construction and that women do not make up a homogeneous group, thus, the consideration of factors that impact access in different ways to health is essential for this analysis. This article aims to address the advances and challenges, in the last 20 years, of public policies related to women's health in Brazil. For this, an integrative exploratory literature review was carried out. The PICO strategy (Patient, Intervention, Comparison and Outcome) was used to define the guiding question of the study. A bibliographical survey of articles, published between 2017-2022, that addressed the research theme was carried out. The discussion of public policies related to women's health requires understanding the Social Theory of Gender and how social structures of power influence health and illness processes. Despite the creation of specific laws, there is a lack of dialogue about inequalities and little participation of women in decision-making political spaces, which causes obstacles. In twenty years, even with recognized advances in relation to public policies dedicated to women in Brazil, there is still a long way to go in confronting inequalities to fully contemplate such a diverse population throughout its life cycle.

- Strategic people management: study of well-being at work in a furniture
and electronics retail company
Authors: Ana Paula Gonçalves da Silva, Gustavo Henrique Silva de Souza
Abstract: In contemporary times, “well-being at work” has been one of the most recurrent concerns of organizational psychology and people management professionals. The present work aims to analyze the level of “well-being at work” of the employees of a retailer of furniture and electronics, in a complementary way, aiming to develop proposals for intervention and improvement for the investigated company. For this purpose, we applied the Well-Being at Work Inventory (WBWI-13) to 11 employees of the company investigated. Using multilevel research and comprising the application of questionnaires and systematic observations, results show an average degree of well-being at work. In addition, we found that there is low identification of employees with the nature of work. Also, it lacks investment by the company to achieve the objectives of improving “well-being” in the work environment. Thus, we suggest (1) an investigation into the relationship between the nature of work and the vocation of employees; and (2) the creation of programs that emphasize the improvement of the quality of life.

- Bioprospecting of fungi isolated from the gut of Amazonian of the order
Coleoptera with anti-candida sp activity.
Authors: João Lucas da Silva Rufino, Thais Karoline de Sousa Rodrigues, Maxwel Adriano Abegg
Abstract: With an unbridled exploitation of natural resources, much of the world's biodiversity has been decreasing over the years. With all the Amazonian wealth, Brazil is given the advantage in the search for national development, through the proper exploitation of these resources, minimizing damage to the environment. In this sense, Bioprospection emerges as a tool for Sustainable Development, which can be understood as the systematic search for organisms, genes, enzymes, compounds, processes and parts from living beings, which have economic potential and eventually lead to the development of a product. Many fungi live in symbiotic or commensal associations in beetle intestines and these fungi have an as yet unknown ability to produce as yet unknown substances. In view of these relationships, this research aims to carry out a Bioprospection of filamentous fungi extracted from the gut of Amazon beetles. The results are promising when highlighting the antifungal activity against strains of Candida sp species whit the studied extract fractions from Fusarium Incarnatum – equisetti species.

- Proposal of a framework for improving multi-criteria decision-making
related to epidemics using heterogeneous spatial data and evolutionary
algorithms
Authors: Gesiel Rios Lopes, Roberto Fray da Silva, Karina Jorge Pelarigo, Mellina Yamamura, Alexandre C. B. Delbem, Denise Scatolini, Filippo Ghiglieno, Antonio Mauro Saraiva
Abstract: The decision-making of complex problems, such as epidemics monitoring and control, involves multiple heterogeneous data and spatial and temporal aspects. Most problems cannot be reduced to one objective, characterized as multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems. Adding temporal and spatial aspects further increases the complexity of addressing those problems. This paper proposed a framework that uses evolutionary algorithms and map algebra for addressing spatial and temporal multidimensional complex problems. It was evaluated in a case study of dengue and tuberculosis diseases in an urban environment, considering multi-resolution data and a genetic algorithm. Several analyses were conducted, generating maps and information essential to generate insights into the problem and a better understanding of the spatial relations between the variables. The framework and the code implemented could be applied to different problems, spatial resolutions, and objectives.

- The World Bank premises for teacher training: a critical analysis
Authors: Felipe Néo dos Santos, Danielle de Menezes Vieira Néo, Fabiano Geraldo Barbosa, Rosângela Ribeiro da Silva, Emanoel Rodrigues Almeida, Adéle Cristina Braga Araújo, Simone Cesar da Silva
Abstract: The general objective of this study was to analyze the interventions of the World Bank in teacher training, with the specific objectives: a) to investigate the transformations that occurred in teacher training in developing countries; b) investigate the impacts of changes promoted by the World Bank on teacher training in Brazil; and c) verify the Bank's conditionalities when strengthening capital assumptions. In methodological terms, the research was based on the dialectical historical materialism method, from a qualitative approach and a bibliographic investigation. To this end, the theoretical propositions of the following authors were fundamentally taken as references: Pansardi (2011), Rabelo et al (2015), Corte, Sarturi and Nunes (2018), Freitas (2018), Soares e Silva (2018), Santos and Orso (2020), Zank and Malanchen (2020), among others. The results and discussions pointed out that the educational transformations that occurred in the last decades contribute to the segmentation of teacher training with the pragmatic prototype focused on the experiential knowledge of teachers, depreciating the scientific knowledge that underlies teaching, as well as the indications of international agencies they surround themselves with the limitation of costs and time in education to achieve goals and to proliferate capital gains. In the final considerations, it was emphasized that the changes that took place in Brazilian education have the purpose of carrying out the capital's educational project, with this end in mind, potentiating the opportune transformations for the strengthening of capitalism, thus impacting teacher training in such a way that they directed the training and pedagogical practice, in order to prepare students for the job market.

Authors: Elias Ferreira Porto , Elaine Balancieri Pereira, Egas Zacharias Aguiar de Oliveira, Laiane Lima Spanhol, Ezeni Martins Apolinário Miranda, Fabio Marcon Alfieri, Marcia Maria Hernandes de Abreu de Oliveira Salgueiro, Giovanna da Silva, Cristina Zukowsky Tavares
Abstract: The Stricto Sensu Graduate Programs in the Professional modality, as well as the Master's Program in Health Promotion at the Centro Universitário Adventista de São Paulo (UNASP), are committed to presenting social, scientific and technological relevance in the processes of professional training. This article aims to investigate the biannual result of the evaluation process in a Professional Master's Degree in Health Promotion carried out by the Self-Assessment Committee. In 2020 and 2021, questionnaires formulated based on CAPES evaluation guidelines were sent to graduates of the Master's degree in Health Promotion. The graduates responded and sent their responses to the survey via email, which were statistically analyzed from the graduates' perspective on the quality experienced in the Stricto Sensu Graduate Program in the Program, Training and Impact on Society dimensions. The Self-Assessment questionnaires were applied electronically in 2020 and 2021, with the respective feedback organized by the Self-Assessment Commission in 2021 and 2022. The results show a significant increase in the proportion of technical and technological productions - from regular to good and from good to very good were p=0.004 and p=0.003, respectively. We understand, therefore, that the evaluation process subsidizes reflections and changes in the direction of qualitative results agreed upon by all.

- Government policies and practices in defense of the educational rights of
people with disabilities – advances and setbacks throughout the XXth and
XXst centuries
Authors: Fabiana Maria Barbosa de Sousa, Francisca Geny Lustosa, Kelma de Freitas Felipe, Maria Simone da Silva
Abstract: In this article, we aim to provide researchers in the category inclusion of people with disabilities with a historical sequence about the Brazilian presidents and their actions linked to the theme, creating or extinguishing secretariats of inclusion. As a way of synthesizing and analyzing the material already produced on public policies that deal with the subject, we opted for a bibliographical study, with the support of documentary research. The bibliographical research was based on the theoretical productions of thinkers such as Mazzotta, Jannuzzi and Sassaki, who are references in matters related to the policy of inclusion of people with disabilities in Brazil; the documentary research was carried out through analysis of the management report of the Secretariat of Special Education - SEESP, according to the laws regulated in Brazil in relation to the policy of inclusion of people with disabilities and the documents officially published on the policy of inclusion in the website of the Ministry of Education and Culture – MEC. From the analyzed facts, we came to the conclusion that the inclusion of this conclusion in the government guidelines and structure strengthens the development of public inclusion policies. And, in the face of the recent setbacks, we need to stay strong together in defense of a society for all. We must not let any rights be lost.

- A hydroalcoholic blackberry leaf extract improved glucose tolerance and
body composition and attenuated depression-like symptoms in ovariectomized
rats.
Authors: Mateus Ferreira Mendes, Maria Thereza Ottoni Figueiró, Mayara Regina Nunes, Regina Eloina dos Santos Pereira, Isabella Rocha Dias, Lauane Gomes Moreno, Kinulpe Honorato Sampaio, Elizabethe Adriana Esteves
Abstract: Blackberry leaves (Morus nigra) are used in menopause to relieve hot flashes and night sweats and have been investigated in metabolic disorders. However, few studies investigated its effects on metabolic and behavioral disorders when associated with menopause. This study evaluated the effects of a hydroalcoholic extract of M. nigra leaves (MN) on body composition, glucose tolerance, and depression and anxiety-like behaviors in ovariectomized rats. For this purpose, 36 female Wistar rats were divided into groups: C – control; COvx – ovariectomized; MNOvx – ovariectomized and given MN at 400 mg.kg-1 body mass/day. Body composition was assessed by DEXA, glucose tolerance by the oral glucose tolerance test, and depression and anxiety-like behaviors by the forced swimming and elevated plus maze tests, respectively. Food intake and body mass gain were higher for MNOvx, followed by COvx and C (p<0.05). The MNOvx group gained less body fat than COvx (p<0.05) and was more glucose tolerant compared to C and COvx (p<0.05). In the elevated plus maze, COvx and MNOvx remained for less time in the open arms and longer in the closed arms than C (p<0.05). In forced swimming, immobility time was higher for COvx, followed by C and MNOvx (p<0.05). The MN protected ovariectomized rats from body fat gain, improved glucose tolerance, and attenuated depression-like behavior. Phytoestrogens and other bioactive compounds in MN may be involved in these effects.

Abstract: Benzodiazepines (BZD's) psychoactive drugs that act as allosteric modulators (agonists) of the type A γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA-A) receptor in the central nervous system. In clinical practice, these drugs are often used and prescribed in the treatment of anxiety, insomnia and depression. Due to its various pharmacological actions, and prolonged use, it makes it among the five best-selling drugs in Brazil. The lack of information about the consequences of irrational use increases vulnerability to generating dependence. Therefore, this study sought to analyze the consumption and distribution of BZD’s in the city of Belém - Pará. An observational, longitudinal, and retrospective survey was used in this study, comparing the first half of the years 2020 to 2022, through the SNGPC system. The variables analyzed were amount of BZD’s per year, age group, sex and type of drug most dispensed. The results obtained in the study showed that a total of 33,068 BZD’s was dispensed, adding the first semesters of the years 2020 to 2022, the female gender showed a higher prevalence of consumption, as well as the age group that presented high consumption, was between 61 a 80 years old and the most prescribed BZD was Clonazepam.

Abstract: Introduction: The impact caused by the pandemic of COVID-19 on the dimensions of eating behavior of the general population during home confinement should be analyzed in order to understand the damage caused in this regard. Aim: To verify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the dimensions of eating behavior of the general population during home confinement. Method: Integrative review, From the establishment of the research keywords, it was performed the crossing of descriptors "Pandemic/Pandemic"; "Binge eating/Eating compulsion"; "Covid-19"; "Coronavirus/Coronavirus"; "Eating disorders/Eating Disorders" in the following databases: Health Library (BVS), National of Medicine (PubMed MEDLINE), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO), EbscoHost and Google Scholar. Results: Forty-two articles were found in the Health Library (VHL), National of Medicine (PubMed MEDLINE), EbscoHost and Google Scholar databases, from which the published titles and abstracts were read. After careful reading of the publications, 30 articles were not used due to the exclusion criteria. Thus, 12 articles, all in English, were selected for final analysis and construction of the literature review on the theme. Conclusion: Based on the literature review presented, it can be concluded that the conditions caused by the pandemic caused changes in eating habits that, together with sedentary lifestyle, socioeconomic condition and emotional instability favor the emergence of eating disorders. With the advent of social isolation, it is evident that the eating habits were harmed.

- Nutritional status of children from 0 to 5 years of age municipality of
Igaratinga-MG in 2019 to 2021
Authors: Fred Oliveira Alves, Ester Luisa Alves Fonseca, Caroline Esteves Ferreira, Livia Almeida de Faria, Gabriela Gonçalves da Silva, Juliana Mara Flores Bicalho
Abstract: Introduction: The assessment of nutritional status at different stages of life is important for establishing risk situations, nutritional diagnosis and planning actions for health promotion and disease prevention. In children, its importance is given both for monitoring growth and health, and for early detection of nutritional disorders, be it malnutrition, obesity, among others. Objective Describe the nutritional status of children from 0 to 5 years of age monitored at the Primary Health Care Units (UAPS) in the municipality of Igaratinga-MG between 2019 and 2021. Methodology This is a descriptive study in which secondary data accessed in the public access mode of the Food and Nutrition Surveillance System (Sisvan Web). Result: Between 2019 and 2021, the extremes of nutritional status in children, which include thinness and short stature, as well as overweight, increased proportionally, while eutrophy and adequate height decreased. This result can be attributed to the pandemic period, in which, with social isolation, the population stayed away, generating several negative impacts, on the one hand, reducing energy expenditure due to sedentary lifestyle and consumption of ultra-processed foods, and on the other hand, due to the increase in food insecurity. Conclusion: It is necessary to implement public policies to prevent nutritional problems related to the nutritional status of children during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to promote food and nutrition education actions in schools.

- Contemporary family challenges: communication between teenagers and their
parents in a city in the interior of Pará
Authors: Maria Elane de Oliveira Dias Aires, André Guirland Vieira, Dóris Cristina Gedrat, Brenda Oliveira Dias Correia, Ingrid Brito Rodrigues
Abstract: Society is in a process of constant transformation and, likewise, the challenges presented to young people. It cannot be denied that different factors have been causing changes in the way families function, however, values such as the importance of relationships are still highlighted as irreplaceable. Thus, the question raised by this article aims to identify some of the challenges faced by families, especially related to communication between parents and adolescent children. Could it be that today’s teenagers are very different from those of previous generations, especially in relation to the communication established with their parents' By seeking to outline the obstacles identified in this process, it is possible to provide a more reflective look at the current relationships established between the different generations in the family. This is a qualitative bibliographical review research that used the focus group investigation method as an instrument for data collection, a technique derived from group interviews, which collects information through interactions. Six teenagers between the ages of 15 and 17 participated in the research. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using the Laurence Bardin content method. The results pointed to the importance of communication established between parents and children in strengthening affective bonds, emphasizing factors that hinder or facilitate communication, such as the need for adolescents to perceive a greater openness on the part of parents to listen to and understand them in your demands.

literature review
Authors: Luciano Barreto Silva, Rodolfo Scavuzzi Carneiro Cunha, Marvin Gonçalves Duarte, Marcos José Araújo de Castro, Lucas de Jesus Santana do Amaral, Ana Carolina Bastos do Rêgo, Rita de Cássia Vieira de Vasconcelos Cavalcanti Brandão
Abstract: Objective: To describe the main characteristics of psychopaths including their sexual habits in their ritual of charming, dominating, and abandoning their victims, as well as explain the chaos and devastation they cause in them. Finally, suggest treatment approaches for victims in the damage recovery process. Methodology: Interviews were conducted with victims of psychopaths who lived with them for more than a decade. Information concerning sexual habits was carefully categorized and explained. As support, online searches for the construction of this article were carried out in the databases of Google Scholar, PUBMED Central, Web of Science, BVS/BIREME, Science Direct, Scielo, The Cochrane Library, and also by PROSPERO. The identities of victims and psychopaths were kept confidential. Results: The sexual habits of psychopaths include 3 stages: initial love bombing, humiliation and domination of the victim, and finally abandonment after sexual, emotional, and financial exploitation. The main consequences in the lives of partners include chaos, sleep and eating disorders, anger, despair, and depression, and in some cases lead to death. Conclusions: Psychopathy has no treatment, and due to the devastation it causes in people due to the feeling of betrayal, exploitation, and lack of love, it causes victims to have all aspects of their lives destroyed. The only way to fight it is through knowing the psychopath's mind and what they can do.

Abstract: Lepidoptera is the second larger order of Insecta Class. Lepidopteran which feed of species of the Arecaceae family are notorious for the damage they cause, attacking a range from seedlings to the fruit. There are several control methods used against these pest insets, and among them, chemical pesticides are the most explored. Biological and mechanical control are also relevant, but they require a large number of trained workers. Behaviour modulation through chemical communication, using pheromones, stands out with a great potential to sustainably control insect populations. Pheromones have already been identified in lepidopteran pest which infest Arecaceae plants, they are mainly female-produced compounds, and belong to the sexual and contact types. The majority of pheromone compounds identified to this date are classified as Types I and II (unsaturated C10–C18 alcohols and their derivatives; and unsaturated C17–C25 hydrocarbons and their epoxides, respectively) with rare occurrences of Types 0 (short-chain secondary alcohols) and 3 (methyl-branched structures). Considering the vast quantity of lepidopteran species that attack this family and the economic impacts they generate, the present work aggregates the current knowledge on pheromones used the Integrated Pest Management of lepidopteran insects that damage palm plant species, and discusses both the compounds already applied in the field and the promising one that must yet to be tested.

- The importance of marketing for micro and small enterprises
Authors: Joana Josiane Andriotte Oliveira Lima Nyland
Abstract: The MSME business marketing process includes two main aspects, such as networking and word of mouth communication. Networking for business activities means that companies come together with a common goal, working together and cooperating by sharing ideas, knowledge, resources and technology. In this way, the present work has as main objective to demonstrate the importance of marketing for the success of a company and to identify the main difficulties faced by entrepreneurs. Therefore, it is expected to answer the problem question of “How can marketing help in the success of micro and small companies'”, through a bibliographical review of a qualitative documental nature. The marketing function in SMEs is hampered by constraints such as insufficient cash flow, lack of marketing expertise, business size, tactical customer-related issues, and strategic customer-related issues. Small businesses need marketing in a format that is compatible with small business characteristics and acceptable to the small business owner/manager. The results of the study generate a general picture of an unfavorable position of SMEs, especially in the area of insufficient information, bad marketing activities constituted mainly by sales, neglecting the other elements of the marketing mix. Many authors have stated that a market-oriented business approach will result in better corporate performance and many studies have found a positive association between market orientation and performance.

- Analysis of heat sources: Alternatives for improving environmental
conditions in an underground gold mine
Authors: Leandro de Vilhena Costa, José Margarida da Silva
Abstract: Heat generation in underground mines is a factor of extreme influence on the production, safety and comfort of workers. This article aims to analyze heat sources in an underground mine and propose, as one of the alternatives to improve ventilation conditions, replace the diesel fleet with electric. The case study shows that this is the second source of heat, being the first autocompression, the second diesel equipment and the third are the fans. The heat emitted by the rock then stabilizes a certain time having no significance in the temperature in the year of 2019, but in 2026 it will be a significant heat source. This evaluation was carried out in a gold mine near Belo Horizonte, capital of the State of Minas Gerais using the software Ventsim. In the study, sensitive heat and latent heat would be reduced by about 56% and 80%, respectively, if the change is made. This reduction in the heat generated by the system may improve working conditions because of lower temperature and gas concentration, which reflect on the safety conditions for higher worker's efficiency.
