um cuidado especializado do enfermeiro obstetra
Observa-se, hoje em dia, que algumas práticas na maternidade tendem a ignorar as preferĂŞncias das mulheres em trabalho de parto, uniformizando os cuidados com prejuĂzo para o bem-estar e a qualidade de vida das famĂlias. As práticas em ObstetrĂcia tĂŞm vindo a tornar-se cada vez mais repletas de intervenção, focando-se apenas nos resultados fĂsicos (mortalidade e morbilidade) e descurando as vivĂŞncias das parturientes e famĂlia, assim como as consequĂŞncias psicossociais de um parto traumático.
O presente RelatĂłrio de Estágio pretende refletir os cuidados em maternidade na perspetiva EEESMOG, que se visa holĂstica, centrada no cliente e baseada na evidĂŞncia. Da mesma forma, espelha as aprendizagens efetuadas em contexto do Estágio com RelatĂłrio inserido no 6Âş CMESMO da ESEL.
Foram escolhidos como referenciais teóricos norteadores os modelos de Nola Pender – Modelo de Promoção da Saúde, e a Teoria de Empowerment em Saúde de Nelma Shearer. Foi também realizada uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura que visou responder à seguinte questão de investigação: “Quais os cuidados do EEESMOG promotores do empowerment das mulheres direcionado para uma tomada de decisão informada relativa ao trabalho de parto?”. Adicionalmente, foi efetuado um registo da interação durante a prestação de cuidados no decorrer do estágio, sobre os quais foi efetuada uma reflexão e confrontação com os resultados da RSL.
Concluiu-se que os cuidados que o EEESMOG presta que sĂŁo promotores de uma tomada de decisĂŁo informada para o trabalho de parto se inserem dentro de trĂŞs grandes temas, nomeadamente CompetĂŞncias da esfera relacional, CompetĂŞncias da esfera da prática clĂnica e CompetĂŞncias da esfera cientĂfica, com especial referĂŞncia para os cuidados que se relacionam com o Estabelecimento de Relação TerapĂŞutica, a Educação para a SaĂşde, o Cuidado da Mulher em trabalho de parto, a Promoção do exercĂcio do Consentimento Informado e a Prática baseada na EvidĂŞncia
FOXM1 Is an Oncogenic Mediator in Ewing Sarcoma
<div><p>Ewing Family Tumors (Ewing Sarcoma and peripheral Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor) are common bone and soft tissue malignancies of childhood, adolescence and young adulthood. Chromosomal translocation in these tumors produces fusion oncogenes of the EWS/ETS class, with EWS/FLI1 being by far the most common. EWS/ETS chimera are the only well established driver mutations in these tumors and they function as aberrant transcription factors. Understanding the downstream genes whose expression is modified has been a central approach to the study of these tumors. FOXM1 is a proliferation associated transcription factor which has increasingly been found to play a role in the pathogenesis of a wide range of human cancers. Here we demonstrate that FOXM1 is expressed in Ewing primary tumors and cell lines. Reduction in FOXM1 expression in Ewing cell lines results in diminished potential for anchorage independent growth. FOXM1 expression is enhanced by EWS/FLI1, though, unlike other tumor systems, it is not driven by expression of the EWS/FLI1 target GLI1. Thiostrepton is a compound known to inhibit FOXM1 by direct binding. We show that Thiostrepton diminishes FOXM1 expression in Ewing cell lines and this reduction reduces cell viability through an apoptotic mechanism. FOXM1 is involved in Ewing tumor pathogenesis and may prove to be a useful therapeutic target in Ewing tumors.</p> </div
FOXM1 knockdown reduces anchorage independent growth in Ewing cell lines.
<p> A: Three Ewing cell lines were transduced with either of two FOXM1 lentiviral shRNA or a nontargeting Luciferase control and polyclonal lines were selected with Puromycin. Real time quantitative PCR for FOXM1 shows significant reduction in FOXM1 transcript. All differences significant to p<>\scale 60%\raster="rg1"<>0.05 by Student’s t-test. B: Cell lines transduced with FOXM1-HP1 confirm a significant reduction in FOXM1 protein. C: Three Ewing cell lines with FOXM1 shRNA are plated in soft agar and compared to non-targeting control. All three demonstrate reduction in colony formation with either FOXM1 shRNA.</p
Thiostrepton reduces FOXM1 expression in Ewing cell lines, producing diminished cell viability by an apoptotic mechanism.
<p> A: Ewing cell lines were treated for 16 hours with Thiostrepton at increasing concentrations. Real time quantitative PCR shows a reduction of FOXM1 transcript. B: Ewing cell lines treated with 5 mcM Thiostrepton for 36–72 hours show decreased FOXM1 protein on western blot. C: Treatment of Ewing cell lines with increasing quantities of Thiostrepton for 72 hours results in reduced numbers of viable cells compared to diluent controls. D: Ewing cell lines treated as in panel B show cleavage of PARP, an indicator of apoptosis.</p
FOXM1 expression in Ewing Sarcoma.
<p>A: Microarray data from Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST (HuEx) Arrays reveal FOXM1 expression levels which are comparable to Neuroblastoma (NBL) and not statistically different (p = 0.12). B: Real time quantitative PCR for FOXM1 (all splice forms) confirms significant levels of transcript in primary Ewing Sarcoma tumor specimens and the Ewing cell line TC71, compared to CHLA57, a Schwannoma cell line, DU145, a Prostate Carcinoma cell line, cultured primary fibroblasts (Fibr.) and mature cerebellar tissue (Cereb.). C: Western blot for FOXM1 detects FOXM1 protein in 6/7 Ewing cell lines tested and in the Prostate cell line DU145.</p
