Assistência pré-natal na percepção de puérperas provenientes de diferentes serviços de saúde Prenatal care in the perception of postpartum women from different health services

OBJETIVO: conhecer a percepção de puérperas acerca da assistência pré-natal. MÉTODO: foram entrevistadas em até 48 horas após o parto, 150 puérperas, provenientes de diferentes serviços de saúde que acessaram o Hospital Universitário de Santa Maria/RS, no período de dezembro de 2010 a fevereiro de 2011. RESULTADOS: das 150 puérperas, 91,33% realizaram consultas de pré-natal em algum serviço de saúde do município e 8,67% não realizaram nenhuma consulta. 56,67% das puérperas entrevistadas consideraram que fazer o pré-natal é importante tanto para a mãe quanto para o bebê; quanto à assistência pré-natal realizada no município 84,67% das puérperas julga que não há necessidade de mudanças. CONCLUSÃO: apesar das usuárias considerarem a assistência como adequada, as autoras avaliam que existem carências na atenção pré-natal nos diferentes serviços e que poderiam ser supridas com a realização de um trabalho multiprofissional e interdisciplinar. Nesse sentido, intensificar o processo educativo entre as gestantes pode melhorar a qualidade da atenção, eliminar a falta de realização de pré-natal e diminuir a morbi-mortalidade materno-infantil no município.<br>PURPOSE: to know the mothers perception about the prenatal care. METHOD: there were interviewed within 48 hours after the delivery, 150 postpartum women, from various health services that accessed the Hospital Universitário de Santa Maria / RS, from December 2010 to February 2011. RESULTS: from the 150 postpartum women, 91,33% attended prenatal consultation in a health system from the town and 8,67% did not attend any consultation. 56,67% of postpartum women considered that prenatal care is important both for the mother and for the baby; regarding prenatal care held in the city, 84.67% of postpartum women judges that there is no need for change. CONCLUSION:despite of the users consider the assistance appropriate, the authors estimate that there are deficiencies in prenatal care in the different services that could be assisted by conducting a multi-professional and interdisciplinary work. In this sense, intensify the educational process among the pregnant women may improve the care quality, eliminate the lack of prenatal and decrease maternal and infant morbimortality rates in the municipality

Intraspecific variation, sex-biased dispersal and phylogeography of the eastern grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus)

Genetic information has played an important role in the\ud development of management units by focusing attention on\ud the evolutionary properties and genetics of populations.\ud Wildlife authorities cannot hope to manage species effectively without knowledge of geographical boundaries and\ud demic structure. The present investigation provides an\ud analysis of mitochondiral DNA and microsatellite data, which\ud is used to infer both historical and contemporary patterns of population structuring and dispersal in the eastern grey\ud kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) in Australia. The average\ud level of genetic variation across sample locations was one of the highest observed for marsupials (h¼0.95, HE¼0.82).\ud Contrary to ecological studies, both genic and genotypic\ud analyses reveal weak genetic structure of populations, where\ud high levels of dispersal may be inferred up to 230 km. The\ud movement of individuals was predominantly male-biased\ud (average Nem¼22.61, average Nfm¼2.73). However, neither sex showed significant isolation by distance. On a continental scale, there was strong genetic differentiation and phylogeographic distinction between southern (TAS, VIC\ud and NSW) and northern (QLD) populations, indicating a\ud current and/or historical restriction of gene flow. In addition, it is evident that northern populations are historically more recent, and were derived from a small number of southern founders. Phylogenetic comparisons between M. g. giganteus and M. g. tasmaniensis indicated that the current taxonomic status of these subspecies should be revised as there was a lack of genetic differentiation between the populations sampled
