PLANO PEDAGÓGICO DO CURSO DE CIÊNCIAS CONTÁBEIS: UM ESTUDO ANALÍTICO DE CONTEÚDO DA UNIRON E FIMCA

O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar e identificar as variáveis do plano politico pedagógico e currículo do curso de Ciências Contábeis em duas instituições superiores da região do norte do Brasil, sendo elas: a União das Escolas Superiores de Rondônia - UNIRON e a Faculdades Integradas Aparício Carvalho - FIMCA. Buscou-se também observar qual o perfil e a formação pretendida para o graduando, analisando a carga horária e conteúdos oferecidos no curso de Ciências Contábeis das instituições em questão. Realizou-se uma análise documental, investigou-se também o conteúdo das variáveis teóricas e práticas de cada currículo, bem como o ementário de seus componentes. A pesquisa caracterizou-se como um estudo qualitativo através da análise documental comparativa. Os dados foram coletados a partir de um levantamento documental disponível na rede mundial de computadores e contato direto com os coordenadores de cada instituição (via e-mail e visita in-loco), os quais foram alinhados com o objeto da pesquisa. Ao final constatou-se que as matrizes curriculares têm um número positivo de similaridades nos conteúdos e nas horas aulas e que por mais que tenham divergências não existem prejuízos notáveis aos alunos

Utilizou-se ainda de pesquisa bibliográfica e análise documental. A base teórica é consubstanciada na teoria institucional combinada com o modelo de ação institucional para o sucesso acadêmico. A análise dos resultados apresentou entre as disciplinas que os alunos tem maiores dificuldades em alcançar aprovação estão as relacionadas à área de cálculo e o Trabalho de Conclusão de curso

Anogenital infection by Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae in HIV-infected men and women in Salvador, Brazil

Background: Infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae are the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infections throughout the world. These sexually transmitted infections are a growing problem in people living with HIV/AIDS. However, the presence of these agents in extra genital sites, remains poorly studied in our country. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae anal and genital infection in people living with HIV/AIDS followed in a reference center in Salvador, Brazil. Methods: Cross-sectional study, from June 2013 to June 2015. Proven HIV-infected people attending this reference center were invited. Clinical and epidemiological data were obtained through interview with standardized form. Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae screening was performed using qPCR (COBAS 4800® Roche). Results: The frequency of positive cases of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae was 12.3% in total, 9.2% cases amongst women and 17.1% amongst men. We found 14.0% of positive cases in anus and 3.1% in genital region in men, while 5.6% and 3.6%, in women, respectively. Among men, anal infection was associated with age 50 copies/mL (p = 0.020), and no antiretroviral use (p = 0.008). Anal infection in women was associated with age <29 years old (p < 0.001) and pregnancy (p = 0.023), and was not associated with report of anal intercourse (p = 0.485). Conclusion: Missed opportunities for diagnosis in extra genital sites could impact on HIV transmission. The extra genital sites need to be considered to break the HIV and bacterial sexually transmitted infections chain-of-transmission.

Predictors of HPV incidence and clearance in a cohort of Brazilian HIV-infected women

<div><p>Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) is necessary for the development of precursor lesions and cervical cancer. HPV infection among women living with HIV/AIDS (WLHA) occurs more frequently, presents a higher rate of persistent infections and an earlier progression to cancer. We aimed to evaluate HR-HPV prevalence, incidence and clearance, and its association with HIV viral suppression, immunological response and other risk factors among WLHA followed at an STD/HIV reference center. This was a cohort study conducted at a reference center for STD/AIDS in Northeastern Brazil from September 2013 to September 2015. Follow-up visits were conducted at 6 and 12 months after enrolment, where socio-epidemiological data were obtained. Cervical samples were collected for conventional cytology and HPV DNA research (PCR COBAS® Roche) in addition to blood samples for CD4+ T lymphocyte count and HIV viral load. We prospectively evaluated 333 women. HR-HPV DNA prevalence was 33.3% at baseline. HPV-16 was present in 5.1%, HPV-18 in 3.9% and 29.4% WLHA had other HR-HPV (31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66 and 68). The HR-HPV incidence during the follow-up was 10.8%, at the 6-month visit was 7.7% and at the 12-month visit was 3.7%. Variables associated with HR-HPV incidence were: nulliparity, combined oral contraceptive use and detectable HIV viral load. The HR-HPV clearance rate was 41.7% and was associated with age >30 years and lymphocyte T CD4 count >500 cells/mm3 at enrolment. These findings contribute to the knowledge about a group of women that need more careful HPV screening and describe the association between an efficient immunological response and HIV viral suppression with lower incidence and increased clearance of HR-HPV.</p></div

Prevalence, incidence and clearance of HR-HPV infection in women living with HIV/AIDS by CD4+ T-lymphocyte cells count and HIV VL strata.

<p>HIV VL was stratified in the following stratum: <40 copies/mL (undetectable), 41 to 1000 copies/mL and over 1000 copies/mL. CD4+ T-lymphocyte strata are as follow: ≤500 cells/μL and >500 cells/μL. The risk estimates are show in prevalence or hazard ratio and their confidence intervals. (A) Prevalent detection of HR-HPV is shown in prevalence ratio in a given HIV VL stratum relative to each CD4+ T cell count. (B) Incident HR-HPV infection risk was estimated using hazard ratio determined with Cox model for each HIV VL stratum in the different CD4+ T-cell count groups. (C) Clerance of HR-HPV infection risk was estimated using hazard ratio determined with Cox model for each HIV VL stratum in the different CD4+ T-cell count groups.</p
