O existir da enfermagem cuidando na terminalidade da vida: um estudo fenomenológico
By taking care of cancer patients in their process of end of life, nursing experience situations of suffering before the anguish of others. This study aimed to understand the meaning and significance attributed by the nurses from the palliative care cancer hospital. This is a phenomenological research, grounded in Heidegger’s thinking, performed with 13 nurses, who work at Oncology hospitalward, through semi-structured interviews, which were analyzed according to the steps recommended by Josgrilberg. From understanding the statementsof the subjects, two ontological themesemerged: Feeling satisfaction and love in the care offered and Feeling anger and inabilitytowards terminally ill patients.We inferred that working in Oncology Ward is something rewarding for these professionals, but it entails physical and mental suffering, from feeling helpless before the death-dying process. Thus, we showedthat nursing professionals need to be recognized as human beings and as such, also deserving of care.Ao cuidar do paciente oncológico em seu processo de terminalidade de vida, a enfermagem experiencia as situações de sofrimento ante a angústia do outro. Este estudo teve como objetivo compreender o sentido e o significado atribuídos, pelos profissionais de enfermagem, ao cuidado paliativo oncológico hospitalar. Trata-se de uma pesquisa fenomenológica, embasada no pensar heideggeriano, realizada com 13 profissionais de enfermagem, atuantes em Ala Oncológica hospitalar, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, que foram analisadas, segundo os passos preconizados por Josgrilberg. Da compreensão da linguagem dos sujeitos, emergiram duas temáticas ontológicas: Sentindo satisfação e amor no cuidado ofertado e Sentindo revolta e impotência frente à terminalidade. Depreendemos que trabalhar em Ala Oncológica é algo gratificante para esses profissionais, mas acarreta sofrimento físico e mental, proveniente de sentir-se impotente ante ao processo morte-morrer. Assim, evidenciamos que os profissionais da enfermagem necessitam ser reconhecidos como seres humanos e, como tais, também merecedores de cuidados.Durante el transcurso del cuidado de un paciente oncológico en el proceso de término de su vida, el profesional de enfermería experimenta situaciones de sufrimiento ante la angustia del otro. Este estudio buscó comprender el sentido y el significado atribuido, por los profesionales de enfermería, al cuidado paliativo oncológico hospitalario. Se trata de una investigación fenomenológica basada en el pensar heideggeriano, realizada con 13 profesionales de enfermería de un servicio hospitalario oncológico por medio de entrevistas semi-estructuradas, posteriormente analizadas según los pasos preconizados por Josgrilberg. De la comprensión del lenguaje de los participantes, surgieron dos temáticas ontológicas: Sintiendo satisfacción y amor en el cuidado ofrecido y Sintiendo indignación e impotencia frente al término de la vida. Se infiere que trabajar en un servicio oncológico es gratificante para estos profesionales, pero trae sufrimiento físico y mental por sentirse impotente ante el proceso muerte-morir. Así, se demuestra que los profesionales de enfermería deben ser reconocidos como seres humanos y como tales, también merecedores de cuidado
Prevenção da obesidade infantil: uma abordagem com gestantes e suas famílias
Trata-se de um relato de experiência de uma intervenção, que objetivou promover praticas saudáveis de alimentação na primeira infância. Foi realizada no ambulatório de uma maternidade em Santa Catarina. A intervenção foi realizada com 60 famílias, enquanto os mesmos aguardavam as consultas agendadas. Esta atividade demonstrou o desconhecimento das famílias a respeito do real valor nutricional dos alimentos, refletindo a falta de políticas promotoras da saúde.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.35700/ca.2020.ano7n12.p85-89.2688
Perception of the level of physical activity of university professors during the isolation of COVID-19 / Percepção do nível de atividade física dos professores universitários durante o isolamento da COVID-19
COVID-19 is characterized by a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, which started in China, in Wuhan, spreading throughout the world in an advanced way and has become a global health emergency, affecting 216 countries. The most recent number of confirmed cases of COVID- 19 is> 23.3 million worldwide, including> 806.4 confirmed deaths, as well as having forced> 4 billion people to be confined to their homes. In Brazil, more than 3.5 million people have been infected, with a total of more than 114,250 confirmed deaths today. On January 30, 2020, WHO notified COVID-19 as the sixth international public health emergency. The uncertainty of not knowing when the pandemic will end can affect people's physical health and can lead to other associated symptoms. The objective of the study was to investigate the consequences that social isolation can cause in aspects of physical activity in teachers of all undergraduate courses at the Centro Universitário Escritor Osman da Costa Lins - UNIFACOL, in Vitória de Santo Antão-PE. A cross-sectional study was carried out. Data collection took place through online questionnaires containing sociodemographic information and levels of physical activity. There were 115 participants, of which 57.4% were male and 42.6% female. Regarding the level of physical activity, there was a statistically significant difference between the sexes in moderate-intensity and walking. And during the pandemic, there were more active women and more sedentary men
Multidifferential study of identified charged hadron distributions in -tagged jets in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV
Jet fragmentation functions are measured for the first time in proton-proton
collisions for charged pions, kaons, and protons within jets recoiling against
a boson. The charged-hadron distributions are studied longitudinally and
transversely to the jet direction for jets with transverse momentum 20 GeV and in the pseudorapidity range . The
data sample was collected with the LHCb experiment at a center-of-mass energy
of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.64 fb. Triple
differential distributions as a function of the hadron longitudinal momentum
fraction, hadron transverse momentum, and jet transverse momentum are also
measured for the first time. This helps constrain transverse-momentum-dependent
fragmentation functions. Differences in the shapes and magnitudes of the
measured distributions for the different hadron species provide insights into
the hadronization process for jets predominantly initiated by light quarks.Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any

Mortality from gastrointestinal congenital anomalies at 264 hospitals in 74 low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries: a multicentre, international, prospective cohort study
Summary
Background Congenital anomalies are the fifth leading cause of mortality in children younger than 5 years globally.
Many gastrointestinal congenital anomalies are fatal without timely access to neonatal surgical care, but few studies
have been done on these conditions in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). We compared outcomes of
the seven most common gastrointestinal congenital anomalies in low-income, middle-income, and high-income
countries globally, and identified factors associated with mortality.
Methods We did a multicentre, international prospective cohort study of patients younger than 16 years, presenting to
hospital for the first time with oesophageal atresia, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, intestinal atresia, gastroschisis,
exomphalos, anorectal malformation, and Hirschsprung’s disease. Recruitment was of consecutive patients for a
minimum of 1 month between October, 2018, and April, 2019. We collected data on patient demographics, clinical
status, interventions, and outcomes using the REDCap platform. Patients were followed up for 30 days after primary
intervention, or 30 days after admission if they did not receive an intervention. The primary outcome was all-cause,
in-hospital mortality for all conditions combined and each condition individually, stratified by country income status.
We did a complete case analysis.
Findings We included 3849 patients with 3975 study conditions (560 with oesophageal atresia, 448 with congenital
diaphragmatic hernia, 681 with intestinal atresia, 453 with gastroschisis, 325 with exomphalos, 991 with anorectal
malformation, and 517 with Hirschsprung’s disease) from 264 hospitals (89 in high-income countries, 166 in middleincome
countries, and nine in low-income countries) in 74 countries. Of the 3849 patients, 2231 (58·0%) were male.
Median gestational age at birth was 38 weeks (IQR 36–39) and median bodyweight at presentation was 2·8 kg (2·3–3·3).
Mortality among all patients was 37 (39·8%) of 93 in low-income countries, 583 (20·4%) of 2860 in middle-income
countries, and 50 (5·6%) of 896 in high-income countries (p<0·0001 between all country income groups).
Gastroschisis had the greatest difference in mortality between country income strata (nine [90·0%] of ten in lowincome
countries, 97 [31·9%] of 304 in middle-income countries, and two [1·4%] of 139 in high-income countries;
p≤0·0001 between all country income groups). Factors significantly associated with higher mortality for all patients
combined included country income status (low-income vs high-income countries, risk ratio 2·78 [95% CI 1·88–4·11],
p<0·0001; middle-income vs high-income countries, 2·11 [1·59–2·79], p<0·0001), sepsis at presentation (1·20
[1·04–1·40], p=0·016), higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score at primary intervention
(ASA 4–5 vs ASA 1–2, 1·82 [1·40–2·35], p<0·0001; ASA 3 vs ASA 1–2, 1·58, [1·30–1·92], p<0·0001]), surgical safety
checklist not used (1·39 [1·02–1·90], p=0·035), and ventilation or parenteral nutrition unavailable when needed
(ventilation 1·96, [1·41–2·71], p=0·0001; parenteral nutrition 1·35, [1·05–1·74], p=0·018). Administration of
parenteral nutrition (0·61, [0·47–0·79], p=0·0002) and use of a peripherally inserted central catheter (0·65
[0·50–0·86], p=0·0024) or percutaneous central line (0·69 [0·48–1·00], p=0·049) were associated with lower mortality.
Interpretation Unacceptable differences in mortality exist for gastrointestinal congenital anomalies between lowincome,
middle-income, and high-income countries. Improving access to quality neonatal surgical care in LMICs will
be vital to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 of ending preventable deaths in neonates and children younger
than 5 years by 2030
SOBREVIVI AO CÂNCER: ANÁLISE FENOMENOLÓGICA DA LINGUAGEM DOS SOBREVIVENTES
Buscamos comprender los sentimientos de personas que sobrevivieron al cáncer, por medio de la investigación cualitativa e abordaje fenomenológica heideggeriana. Fueron sujetos cinco sobrevivientes de cáncer, acompañados entre los años de 2004 y 2005 por un proyecto de extensión en el Noroeste de Paraná. Para captar los sentimientos de los sobrevivientes fue usada la entrevista fenomenológica. Las personas fueron entrevistadas, en el propio domicilio, entre los meses de enero a febrero de 2013, con la siguiente cuestión: “¿Cómo es para usted haber sobrevivido al cáncer?” Emergieron cuatro temáticas ontológicas: (Re) Acordándose el vigor de haber sido; (Re) Encontrándose con la espiritualidad; Temiendo la recidiva de la enfermedad; Olvidándose de la temporalidad de existir con cáncer. Llegamos a la conclusión que, en su ser-sanado, los pacientes viven con la angustia, que lanza en un estado penoso, por temor a la recurrencia, así como permite encontrar un nuevo sentido a la vida
