    The sun has an extremely important role in the existence of human beings, and Brazil has a privileged geographical position to explore sunlight. The union of these two factors favors the use of solar cells for converting solar energy into electricity by photovoltaic technology: it is a great alternative energy source, especially for being a clean one, causing less damage to the environment. This paper addresses the photovoltaic technology with a focus on hospitals, through case studies found in international literature, because hospitals, even running all important services to society, have a potential for pollution capable of causing damage to human health and the environment that is around them. It is estimated that the Brazilian oil reserves are sufficient for twenty-two years. This makes the search for alternative sources for power generation a necessity

    Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a viabilidade técnica de implantação de sistema de aproveitamento de águas pluviais para fins não potáveis em uma edificação com salas de aula e anfiteatros na Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, no município de Uberlândia. Dois tipos de análise foram realizadas: sob o ponto de vista quantitativo, verificando se a quantidade de água pluvial coletada supre satisfatoriamente a demanda por água não potável; e sob o ponto de vista qualitativo, verificando se, após o descarte dos primeiros milímetros de precipitação, a água pluvial coletada possui qualidade suficiente para atender a essa demanda. Os resultados indicam que a implantação desse sistema é viável do ponto de vista quantitativo, pois, durante a simulação pelo Método Netuno, obtiveram-se volumes do reservatório de acumulação com intervalo de 7,9 m3 a 18,2 m3 para um potencial de economia de água potável entre 18,2% e 53,2%. Além disso, os resultados qualitativos indicam que a implantação desse sistema é viável, pois, descartando-se os primeiros 2,5 mm de precipitação após o período de estiagem e implantando-se um sistema de retenção de sólidos suspensos mais eficiente, todos os parâmetros analisados durante a pesquisa atendem às normas NBR 15527 (ABNT, 2007), NBR 13969 (ABNT, 1997) e Manual de Conservação e Reuso da Água (AGÊNCIA..., 2005)

    Aims The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) EURObservational Research Programme (EORP) Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) Registry aims to identify international patterns in NSTEMI management in clinical practice and outcomes against the 2015 ESC Guidelines for the management of acute coronary syndromes in patients presenting without ST-segment-elevation. Methods and results Consecutively hospitalised adult NSTEMI patients (n = 3620) were enrolled between 11 March 2019 and 6 March 2021, and individual patient data prospectively collected at 287 centres in 59 participating countries during a two-week enrolment period per centre. The registry collected data relating to baseline characteristics, major outcomes (inhospital death, acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock, bleeding, stroke/transient ischaemic attack, and 30-day mortality) and guideline-recommended NSTEMI care interventions: electrocardiogram pre- or in-hospital, prehospitalization receipt of aspirin, echocardiography, coronary angiography, referral to cardiac rehabilitation, smoking cessation advice, dietary advice, and prescription on discharge of aspirin, P2Y12 inhibition, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi)/angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), beta-blocker, and statin. Conclusion The EORP NSTEMI Registry is an international, prospective registry of care and outcomes of patients treated for NSTEMI, which will provide unique insights into the contemporary management of hospitalised NSTEMI patients, compliance with ESC 2015 NSTEMI Guidelines, and identify potential barriers to optimal management of this common clinical presentation associated with significant morbidity and mortality

    Presentation, care and outcomes of patients with NSTEMI according to World Bank country income classification: the ACVC-EAPCI EORP NSTEMI Registry of the European Society of Cardiology.
