Efeito do exercicio fisico na prevenção de um dos fatores de risco de aterosclerose: os altos niveis de pressão arterial sistêmica
Introdução: A hipertensão arterial sistêmica é um dos principais fatores relacionados com o desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares, presente na gênese da aterosclerose, contribuindo assim para o estabelecimento da calcificação coronária. Objetivo: evidenciar o efeito do exercício físico aeróbico na prevenção de um dos fatores de risco de aterosclerose: os altos níveis de pressão arterial sistêmica. Material e método: Este estudo trata-se de uma revisão de literatura, cujas buscas foram realizadas em plataformas virtuais indexadas PUBMED, BVS e SCIELO. Foram utilizados os descritores exercício físico ‘physical exercise’, aterosclerose ‘atherosclerosis’, hipertensão arterial ‘arterial hypertension’ e prevenção ‘prevention’. Resultado: O exercício físico promove a redução dos valores de pressão arterial de indivíduos hipertensos. Conclusão: Pode-se evidenciar que o exercício físico quando executado na frequência e intensidade dentro de padrões bem estabelecidos promove um efeito de redução nos níveis de pressão arterial sistólica e diastólica, sendo então um importante aliado não farmacológico na prevenção da aterosclerose
Multidimensional assessment of institutionalized elderly: the reality of a brazilian institution
Background: The population aging in Brazil is characterized by the accumulation of progressive disabilities in their functional activities and daily life. To consider the elderlies in his/her multiple dimensions turns out to be a critical issue to improvetheir assistance to an institu-tionalized level, improving their health and quality of life. To perform a mini-overall evaluation of institutionalized elderly person to trace their profile in relation to the socio-demographic, functional capacity, nutritional status and cognition. Methods: Descriptive study, with a cross-sectional design and quan-titative approach performed in a long - stay institution for the elderly in Natal, RN. The research was approved by the Research Ethics Com-mittee of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, under opinion number 164/2011.Results: 63.3% of the elderly were female, with ages varying from 61 to 103 years. 60.0% were single; 56.7% were literate. 66.7% had no children and 55% lived with their families before the institutio-nalization. As for the institutionalization time, 63.3% resided in the institution for four years. As what concerns the aspects of health, 73.3% of the elderly presented hearing difficulties, 90% make use of medicines predominantly to diabetes and hypertension. There is clear evidence that the institutionalization has been harmful to the elderly as with regards basic activities of daily living, nutritional status and cognitive aspects. Conclusion: The progressive disability in functional activities of daily life interferes directly in the quality of life, increasing dependency and minimizing the autonomy of these individuals. It is necessary to effec-tive implementation of public policies directed to the institutionalized elderly from the perspective of effective actions for improved attention and assistance
Clinical nursing care protocol for convalescent plasma transfusion in patients with COVID-19
Introduction: The treatment of COVID-19 is still challenge. So convalescent plasma can be an important alternative of treatment. Protocols with nursing care during infusion is very important to guide an effective and safety care Objective: to analyze the evidence in the literature on the action of convalescent plasma, of the use of protocols with nursing care to use convalescent plasma and build a nursing care protocol for transfusion in patients with COVID-19. Methods: Methodological study carried out in two stages: scoping review. The search was done using the descriptors: convalescent plasma transfusion, convalescent plasma, and acute respiratory syndromes or COVID-19, to found protocols and effectiveness of convalescent plasm. Beside was done a specialist panel to build the protocol. Results: Low-evidence studies have shown improvement in the clinical signs of COVID-19 using Convalescent Plasma, reduction or elimination of viral load, benefits in the production of lymphocytes, decreases C-reactive protein, increases titers of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, positive evolution in lung involvement identified by X-rays, decrease in hospitalization. No studies were found in the databases on the protocol for clinical nursing care in plasma transfusion. Therefore, a protocol was developed with the description of clinical nursing care to be performed before, during and after the transfusion by plasma: checking of vital signs and indicative signs of transfusion reaction, measurement of oxygen saturation, assessment of venous access and checking of the level of consciousness. Conclusion: There are no evidence studies to support the use of plasma, nor anything related to bundles
Em busca de um horizonte : narrativas sobre educação, artes e resistência
"APRESENTAÇÃO -
Os textos reunidos no livro Em busca de um Horizonte: narrativas sobre educação, arte
e resistência foram inspirados nos debates realizados durante o evento VI Simpósio Internacional
Horizontes Humanos, que aconteceu na Faculdade de Educação da Universidade
de Brasília, em 2018. O livro está dividido em quatro partes: Resistências cotidianas
para além da utopia, Demasiado humano: as diferentes linguagens artísticas e culturais,
A educação como um horizonte, Educação ambiental e ancestralidade: para continuar
caminhando. Apesar da divisão em seções (sempre arbitrária), as produções - bastante
diversas nas temáticas, metodologias e referenciais teóricos adotados – compartilham
um alinhamento ao adotar um posicionamento político em defesa da diversidade, dos
direitos humanos, da ancestralidade, do meio ambiente, da educação com valores democráticos,
dos saberes populares e das diferentes linguagens artísticas. Assim, o livro
se apresenta como um convite à resistência em tempos atrozes.

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics
Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data
