ANÁLISE DA PRODUÇÃO CIENTÍFICA DO ICADS/UFBA NA TRANSIÇÃO PARA A UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DO OESTE DA BAHIA

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi analisar a produção científica e inovações dos docentes durante o período de transição da Universidade Federal da Bahia para a Universidade Federal do Oeste da Bahia. Para tanto, utilizou-se como método de pesquisa a Bibliometria, tendo como procedimentos de coleta a busca de dados na plataforma Lattes, buscando as informações necessárias à pesquisa disponíveis nos currículos Lattes dos docentes alocados na instituição durante o período de 2006 a 2013. Os resultados apontaram para uma curva de publicações com ponto de máximo no ano de 2008, com 64 publicações e ponto de mínimo no ano de 2013, com 20 publicações. Os projetos aprovados apresentaram máxima no ano de 2011 com 26 projetos, e mínima no ano de 2006, com 01 projeto aprovado. Houve 46 publicações relativas à área de química; 41 publicações na área de ciências biológicas; e 34 publicações na área de ciências agrárias. Identificou-se também 06 patentes registradas e 14 protótipos sem pedidos de patentes

INTEGRAÇÃO DA REALIDADE VIVENCIADA NO PROCESSO DE ENSINO-APRENEDIZAGEM: A EXPERIÊNCIA DO PIBID (PROGRAMA INSTITUCIONAL DE BOLSAS DE INICIAÇÃO À DOCÊNCIA) DE GEOGRAFIA NA CIDADE DE BARREIRAS - BAHIA

Este artigo foi desenvolvido perante as atividades do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID) durante o período de um ano. As pesquisas foram realizadas numa Escola Pública do Ensino Médio na cidade de Barreiras – BA. Traz como objetivo demonstrar as possibilidades de se relacionar os conteúdos do livro didático a exemplos mais próximos à realidade do docente e dos estudantes. Como estratégia pedagógica, utilizou-se o trabalho de campo e a construção de vídeos curtos pelos estudantes sobre o conteúdo “água: usos e problemas”, com referência no ambiente urbano da referida cidade, enfatizando as contradições deste espaço. O trabalho apresenta ainda uma discussão sobre o uso de novos instrumentos pedagógicos e a inserção de novas linguagens ao estudo de Geografia

Rationale, study design, and analysis plan of the Alveolar Recruitment for ARDS Trial (ART): Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with high in-hospital mortality. Alveolar recruitment followed by ventilation at optimal titrated PEEP may reduce ventilator-induced lung injury and improve oxygenation in patients with ARDS, but the effects on mortality and other clinical outcomes remain unknown. This article reports the rationale, study design, and analysis plan of the Alveolar Recruitment for ARDS Trial (ART). Methods/Design: ART is a pragmatic, multicenter, randomized (concealed), controlled trial, which aims to determine if maximum stepwise alveolar recruitment associated with PEEP titration is able to increase 28-day survival in patients with ARDS compared to conventional treatment (ARDSNet strategy). We will enroll adult patients with ARDS of less than 72 h duration. The intervention group will receive an alveolar recruitment maneuver, with stepwise increases of PEEP achieving 45 cmH(2)O and peak pressure of 60 cmH2O, followed by ventilation with optimal PEEP titrated according to the static compliance of the respiratory system. In the control group, mechanical ventilation will follow a conventional protocol (ARDSNet). In both groups, we will use controlled volume mode with low tidal volumes (4 to 6 mL/kg of predicted body weight) and targeting plateau pressure <= 30 cmH2O. The primary outcome is 28-day survival, and the secondary outcomes are: length of ICU stay; length of hospital stay; pneumothorax requiring chest tube during first 7 days; barotrauma during first 7 days; mechanical ventilation-free days from days 1 to 28; ICU, in-hospital, and 6-month survival. ART is an event-guided trial planned to last until 520 events (deaths within 28 days) are observed. These events allow detection of a hazard ratio of 0.75, with 90% power and two-tailed type I error of 5%. All analysis will follow the intention-to-treat principle. Discussion: If the ART strategy with maximum recruitment and PEEP titration improves 28-day survival, this will represent a notable advance to the care of ARDS patients. Conversely, if the ART strategy is similar or inferior to the current evidence-based strategy (ARDSNet), this should also change current practice as many institutions routinely employ recruitment maneuvers and set PEEP levels according to some titration method.Hospital do Coracao (HCor) as part of the Program 'Hospitais de Excelencia a Servico do SUS (PROADI-SUS)'Brazilian Ministry of Healt
