Percepção de estudantes de enfermagem sobre o Laboratório de Enfermagem como estratégia de ensino

Este estudo tem por objetivo conhecer a percepção de estudantes de enfermagem quanto aos aspectos físicos, pedagógicos e humanos referentes ao laboratório de enfermagem no processo ensino-aprendizagem. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, transversal, não experimental. A pesquisa foi realizada com 85 alunos. Um total de 58,8% dos alunos avaliou a estrutura física como ruim ou regular; já a acomodação foi avaliada por 50,6% dos alunos como ruim e péssima. Quanto ao horário de funcionamento, 63,5% dos alunos avaliaram como bom ou ótimo. Os alunos avaliaram positivamente as enfermeiras especialistas em laboratório e as monitoras com 87,0% e 84,9% de bom ou ótimo, respectivamente. A maioria dos aspectos obteve conceito bom, exceto a infra-estrutura física. O aspecto melhor avaliado foi o recurso humano

Antimicrobial effect of a crude sulfated polysaccharide from the red seaweed Gracilaria ornata

The aim of this study was to determine the yield, chemical composition, specific rotation (SR), infrared (IR) spectroscopy and the effect on bacterial growth of a crude sulfated polysaccharide (SP) from the red marine alga G. ornata (Go). Go-1 (25°C), Go-2 (80°C), and Go-3 (80°C) were sequentially extracted and yielded 9.2%. The contents of sulfate (5.88-10.3%) and proteins (0.1-3.7%) were small. The values of SR were [µ]D20°f -19.0, -51.0, and -56.5, respectively. IR spectrums showed the presence of galactose-4 sulfate and absence of 3,6-anydrogalactose-2 sulfate, galactose-6 sulfate and galactose-2 sulfate. SR and IR techniques confirmed SPs. Go-3 was tested on the growth of bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter aerogens, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonela choleraesuis and Salmonela typhi), but only E. coli was inhibited

Metabolic crosstalk between host and parasitic pathogens

A complex network that embraces parasite-host intrinsic factors and the microenvironment regulated the interaction between a parasite and its host. Nutritional pressures exerted by both elements of this duet thus dictate this host-parasite niche. To survive and proliferate inside a host and a harsh nutritional environment, the parasites modulate different nutrient sensing pathways to subvert host metabolic pathways. Such mechanism is able to change the flux of distinct nutrients/metabolites diverting them to be used by the parasites. Apart from this nutritional strategy, the scavenging of nutrients, particularly host fatty acids, constitutes a critical mechanism to fulfil parasite nutritional requirements, ultimately defining the host metabolic landscape. The host metabolic alterations that result from host-parasite metabolic coupling can certainly be considered important targets to improve diagnosis and also for the development of future therapies. Metabolism is in fact considered a key element within this complex interaction, its modulation being crucial to dictate the final infection outcome.(undefined)info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
