Saúde mental de trabalhadores de setores administrativos de uma empresa de construção civil e estruturas metálicas

El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar los factores de riesgo para la salud mental de trabajadores de sectores administrativos de una empresa de construcción civil y estructuras metálicas. Entre los datos obtenidos, se destacaron los siguientes factores de riesgo para la salud mental de los trabajadores del estudio: 26 (81,2%) con histórico personal/familiar de enfermedad mental; 21 (65,62%) con incomodidad física en la actividad laboral; 15 (46,8%) con patrón de sueño y reposo alterados; 14 (43,7) relataron exceso de responsabilidad; 7 (21,8%) quejas de ansiedad y 5 (15,6%) alcohólicos. La investigación reveló que tanto el desgaste físico como el mental predisponen a enfermedades profesionalesThis study aimed to analyze risk factors for the mental health of workers from administrative service sections of a civil construction and metal structures company. The following risk factors for mental health were highlighted for the workers who participated in the study: 26 (81,2%) had suffered from mental illness or had cases in the family; 21 (65,62%) complained about physical discomfort at work; 15 (46,8%) revealed altered sleep and rest patterns; 14 (43,7) complained about excess of responsibility; 7 ( 21,8%) reported anxiety and 5 (15,6%) were alcoholics. The research revealed that both physical and mental exhaustion predispose to occupational diseases.O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar os fatores de risco para a saúde mental de trabalhadores de setores administrativos de uma indústria de construção civil e metálica.

Advocacy at the Eighth World Congress of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery

The Eighth World Congress of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery (WCPCCS) will be held in Washington DC, USA, from Saturday, 26 August, 2023 to Friday, 1 September, 2023, inclusive. The Eighth World Congress of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery will be the largest and most comprehensive scientific meeting dedicated to paediatric and congenital cardiac care ever held. At the time of the writing of this manuscript, The Eighth World Congress of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery has 5,037 registered attendees (and rising) from 117 countries, a truly diverse and international faculty of over 925 individuals from 89 countries, over 2,000 individual abstracts and poster presenters from 101 countries, and a Best Abstract Competition featuring 153 oral abstracts from 34 countries. For information about the Eighth World Congress of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery, please visit the following website: [www.WCPCCS2023.org]. The purpose of this manuscript is to review the activities related to global health and advocacy that will occur at the Eighth World Congress of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery. Acknowledging the need for urgent change, we wanted to take the opportunity to bring a common voice to the global community and issue the Washington DC WCPCCS Call to Action on Addressing the Global Burden of Pediatric and Congenital Heart Diseases. A copy of this Washington DC WCPCCS Call to Action is provided in the Appendix of this manuscript. This Washington DC WCPCCS Call to Action is an initiative aimed at increasing awareness of the global burden, promoting the development of sustainable care systems, and improving access to high quality and equitable healthcare for children with heart disease as well as adults with congenital heart disease worldwide

A produção do cuidado a usuários com hipertensão arterial e as tecnologias em saúde

Objetivou-se com este trabalho analisar a utilização da tecnologia das relações na produção do cuidado a usuários com hipertensão arterial. Trata-se de estudo qualitativo, realizado em oito Unidades de Saúde da Família de Jequié-BA. Os sujeitos do estudo foram formuladores da política, profissionais de saúde e usuários, totalizando dezesseis informantes. Em 2010, realizou-se entrevista semiestruturada, observação sistemática e análise documental. Para apreciação dos dados utilizou-se análise de conteúdo temática. Os resultados evidenciaram que os profissionais, sobretudo enfermeiros e agentes comunitários de saúde, utilizam tecnologias leves na busca da integralidade. Por outro lado, alguns profissionais demonstraram prática biologicista, com ênfase em normas e procedimentos. Conclui-se que há necessidade de mudança na interação entre trabalhador e usuário, considerando-se a singularidade e a autonomia do usuário e família na construção de novas formas de cuidado

Patterns of genetic diversity in southern and southeastern Araucaria angustifolia (Bert.) O. Kuntze relict populations

Habitat fragmentation and a decrease in population size may lead to a loss in population genetic diversity. For the first time, the reduction in genetic diversity in the northernmost limit of natural occurence (southeastern Brazil) of Araucaria angustifolia in comparison with populations in the main area of the species continuous natural distribution (southern Brazil), was tested. The 673 AFLPs markers revealed a high level of genetic diversity for the species (Ht = 0.27), despite anthropogenic influence throughout the last century, and a decrease of H in isolated populations of southeastern Brazil (H = 0.16), thereby indicating the tendency for higher genetic diversity in remnant populations of continuous forests in southern Brazil, when compared to natural isolated populations in the southeastern region. A strong differentiation among southern and southeastern populations was detected (AMOVA variance ranged from 10%-15%). From Bayesian analysis, it is suggested that the nine populations tested form five “genetic clusters” (K = 5). Five of these populations, located in the northernmost limit of distribution of the species, represent three “genetic clusters”. These results are in agreement with the pattern of geographic distribution of the studied populations
