    O presente artigo objetiva identificar o impacto das repercussões emocionais, sociais, físicas e financeiras vividas por familiares e cuidadores de pacientes diante da impossibilidade terapêutica. Trata-se de uma pesquisa integrativa de literatura realizada mediante a busca de artigos existentes nas seguintes bases de dados: Us National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health (PUBMED), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO) e Google Acadêmico. Contemplaram-se artigos datados de 2008 à 2021 que abordavam as palavras-chave: paliativo, impacto, familiar. As publicações analisadas demonstraram que, quando um dos indivíduos encontra-se com uma doença fora de possibilidades terapêuticas, a necessidade de reorganização familiar fica evidente e, diante  a  uma  enfermidade  terminal,  muitas  vezes,  um  cuidador  familiar  se  torna  responsável  pelo  paciente, sofrendo impactos inerentes ao cuidar. Assim, a família e o cuidador reagem, sofrem, enfrentam situações que afetam as suas vidas nos aspectos pessoais, emocionais, sociais e financeiros. Urge, portanto, compreender tal impacto a fim de garantir um cuidado integral e compassivo, proporcionando um suporte adequado para enfrentar os desafios dessa ocupação

    The first Acanthamoeba keratitis case in the Midwest region of Brazil: diagnosis, genotyping of the parasite and disease outcome

    Get PDF
    We report an Acanthamoeba keratitis case associated with the use of contact lens in a 28-year-old female from Brasília, Brazil. Samples from corneal scraping and contact lens case were used for culture establishment, PCR amplification, and partial sequencing (fragments of ~400kb) of small subunit rDNA; both culture and PCR were positive. The sequence analyses of the cornea and of isolates from the contact lens case showed similarity with the T4 genotype. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of T4 Acanthamoeba keratitis case from the Midwest region of Brazil

    Uso de drogas e o aumento das infecções sexualmente transmissíveis: uma revisão sistemática: Drug use and the increase in sexually transmitted infections: a systematic review

    Get PDF
    Populações de usuários de drogas têm sido associadas a epidemias de infecções ou Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis, especialmente a infecção pelo HIV (que está associada a drogas injetáveis, uso de equipamentos contaminados para drogas injetáveis e sexo inseguro). A droga mais associada às DSTs é a cocaína fumável de base livre (crack), devido ao aumento dos comportamentos sexuais de risco. Diante disso, o presente estudo teve como objetivo compreender o impacto do uso de drogas no aumento das infecções sexualmente transmissíveis. Para isso, adotou-se como metodologia a revisão sistemática de literatura, realizando buscas nas bases de dados Scielo, Pubmed e BVS/Medline a partir do uso de descritores DeCS/MeSH e aplicação de critérios de inclusão e exclusão. A partir da análise e interpretação dos dados, concluiu-se que que pessoas que fazem uso abusivo de drogas lícitas ou ilícitas, sejam elas mulheres, homens, adolescentes, jovens, adultos, idosos, em situação de rua ou não, tendem a desenvolver comportamentos vulneráveis que pode resultar em IST. Somado a isso, enquanto comportamento de risco, tem-se a preferência por não usar preservativo, seja em relações sexuais com pessoas monogâmicas como com dois ou mais parceiros. Nesses casos, tanto o uso exacerbado de drogas como a falta de informação sobre comportamento sexual demonstram-se insuficientes

    Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

    Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    ATLANTIC EPIPHYTES: a data set of vascular and non-vascular epiphyte plants and lichens from the Atlantic Forest

    Epiphytes are hyper-diverse and one of the frequently undervalued life forms in plant surveys and biodiversity inventories. Epiphytes of the Atlantic Forest, one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, have high endemism and radiated recently in the Pliocene. We aimed to (1) compile an extensive Atlantic Forest data set on vascular, non-vascular plants (including hemiepiphytes), and lichen epiphyte species occurrence and abundance; (2) describe the epiphyte distribution in the Atlantic Forest, in order to indicate future sampling efforts. Our work presents the first epiphyte data set with information on abundance and occurrence of epiphyte phorophyte species. All data compiled here come from three main sources provided by the authors: published sources (comprising peer-reviewed articles, books, and theses), unpublished data, and herbarium data. We compiled a data set composed of 2,095 species, from 89,270 holo/hemiepiphyte records, in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, recorded from 1824 to early 2018. Most of the records were from qualitative data (occurrence only, 88%), well distributed throughout the Atlantic Forest. For quantitative records, the most common sampling method was individual trees (71%), followed by plot sampling (19%), and transect sampling (10%). Angiosperms (81%) were the most frequently registered group, and Bromeliaceae and Orchidaceae were the families with the greatest number of records (27,272 and 21,945, respectively). Ferns and Lycophytes presented fewer records than Angiosperms, and Polypodiaceae were the most recorded family, and more concentrated in the Southern and Southeastern regions. Data on non-vascular plants and lichens were scarce, with a few disjunct records concentrated in the Northeastern region of the Atlantic Forest. For all non-vascular plant records, Lejeuneaceae, a family of liverworts, was the most recorded family. We hope that our effort to organize scattered epiphyte data help advance the knowledge of epiphyte ecology, as well as our understanding of macroecological and biogeographical patterns in the Atlantic Forest.

    A Comunicação Não Verbal no Turismo. Caso de um hotel 5* em Sintra

    No full text
    Este artigo pretende acrescentar conhecimento sobre a comunicação não verbal (CNV) e a sua influência no turismo, utilizando o estudo de caso de um hotel de cinco estrelas em Sintra. Estudos mostram a necessidade da aplicação de uma correta comunicação para obter os melhores resultados ao nível de hospitalidade, no entanto, as referências e as fundamentações sobre a CNV são pouco aprofundadas. Os objetivos são perceber de que modo são aplicados os elementos da CNV no atendimento feito no Front Office (FO); se existe e qual a formação no hotel sobre a CNV; e qual a perceção que tanto os colaboradores como as chefias têm sobre a utilização dos elementos da CNV. A investigação tem um caráter qualitativo. A recolha de informação baseou-se em dados bibliográficos e informações recolhidas no hotel. Os resultados apresentados são baseados na observação direta feita no FO, assim como nas respostas obtidas em entrevistas semiestruturadas. Aferiu-se que os colaboradores, apesar de terem uma formação de curta duração para a interação direta com o hóspede/cliente, se empenham em aplicar a CNV, recorrendo a um sorriso profissional e ao contacto visual.This article aims to add knowledge about nonverbal communication (CNV) and its influence on tourism using the case study of a 5* hotel in Sintra. Studies show the need to apply correct communication to obtain the best results in terms of hospitality, however the references and rationale about CNV are little detailed. The objectives are to understand how CNV elements are applied to Front Office (FO) service; if there is and what is the training at the hotel about CNV; the perception that both employees and managers have about the use of CNV elements. The investigation has a qualitative nature. Information collection was based on bibliographic data and information collected at the hotel. The results presented are based on the direct observation made in the FO as well as the responses obtained to semi-structured interviews. Despite having a short training for direct interaction with the guest/client, the employees commit to apply the NVC, by using a professional smile and eye contact
