NOÇÕES BÁSICAS DE PRIMEIROS SOCORROS EM UMA ESCOLA DE ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL II: RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA

Introdução: os primeiros socorros tratam-se de condutas e cuidados prestados a pessoas que possuam agravo à saúde ou que corram risco de vida. Tais condutas e cuidados podem ser realizados por qualquer indivíduo. Em razão de a escola ser o segundo lugar onde mais ocorrem acidentes na infância é importante que os primeiros socorros sejam disseminados neste ambiente. Objetivo: descrever a experiência do ensino de noções básicas de primeiros socorros em uma escola de Ensino Fundamental II de Quixadá-Ceará. Método: trata-se de um estudo descritivo do tipo relato de experiência. As ações foram realizadas em março de 2019 em uma escola de Ensino Fundamental II, localizada em um distrito do município de Quixadá-Ce. Participaram das ações os alunos do 6°, 7°, 8° e 9° ano juntamente com os professores que ministravam aula na oportunidade. A proposta foi disseminar os conhecimentos obtidos mediante a conclusão da disciplina de primeiros socorros. Resultados: tendo em vista que a escola é segundo lugar que mais ocorrem acidentes na infância, foi viável realizar ações de educação em saúde neste ambiente. Além disso, o fato de a escola estar localizada na zona rural evidencia as dificuldades para obtenção de socorro. Nas salas de aula foram elencadas as principais condutas e cuidados que deve ser prestados às vítimas de afogamento, engasgo, ferimentos, hemorragia, infarto, PCR e queimaduras. A temática abordada despertou interesse nos professores e alunos, havendo participação ativa destes nas ações desenvolvidas, podendo tirar dúvidas em relação aos primeiros socorros, expondo opiniões sobre a importância da explanação de ser ensinado nas escolas. Conclusão: em função do exposto, há a necessidade da dispersão do ensino de noções de primeiros socorros nas escolas. O profissional de enfermagem é habilitado para compartilhar tal ensino, reforçando a ideia do aprendizado mútuo

Perceived quality of life and associated factors in long COVID syndrome among older Brazilians: A cross‐sectional study

Funding information Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia, Inovações e Comunicações - Brazil; Ministério da Saúde - Brazil; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico Tecnológico (CNPq) - Brazil, Grant/Award Number: 402882/2020–2; FCT—Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia - Portugal: Scientific Employment Stimulus-Institutional Call, Grant/Award Number: CEECINST/00051/2018Aims and objectives This paper aims to: (a) determine the personal, sociodemographic, clinical, behavioural, and social characteristics of older Brazilians with clinical evidence of long COVID; (b) evaluate perceived quality of life and determine its association with personal, sociodemographic, behavioural, clinical and social variables; and (c) assess significant predictors of high perceived QoL. Background Given the inherent vulnerabilities of the ageing process, the older people are an at-risk group for both contagion of SARS-CoV-2 and the perpetuation of residual symptoms after infection, the so-called long COVID or post-COVID syndrome. Design A cross-sectional survey design using the STROBE checklist. Methods Brazilian older people with long COVID syndrome (n = 403) completed a phone survey measuring personal, sociodemographic, behavioural, clinical, and social characteristics, and perceived Quality of Life (QoL). Data were collected from June 2021–March 2022. A multiple linear regression model was performed to identify salient variables associated with high perceived QoL. Results The mean age of participants was 67.7 ± 6.6 years old. The results of the multivariate regression model showed that race, home ownership, daily screen time, musculoskeletal and anxiety symptoms, and work situation were the significant predictors of QoL among COVID-19 survivors. Conclusions Knowledge about the persistence of physical, emotional, and social symptoms of COVID-19 can help nurses and other healthcare providers to improve the management of survivors, bringing benefits to the whole society. Relevance to clinical practice Given the novelty of long-COVID and its heterogeneous trajectory, interventions focusing on the repercussions and requirements unique to more vulnerable older persons should be developed and these aspects should be included in public health recommendations and policymakers' concerns. Patient or Public Contribution No patient or public contribution was required to design, to outcome measures or undertake this research.

Physical and microbiological quality and oxidative stability in different storage periods of Angus-Nellore heifer meat in an integrated livestock-forest system

This study aimed to evaluate the physical and microbiological quality as well as the oxidative stability of meat stored frozen (30, 60, 90, 180, and 360 days) and obtained from Angus-Nelore heifers kept in a conventional system (CS; no shade available) and Integrated Livestock-Forest (ILF-1L and ILF-3L). Forty-eight ½ Nellore ½ Angus heifers with an average initial weight of approximately 276.70 ± 20.1 kg and an average age of nine months were distributed across a randomized block design with three treatments and four replicates. After slaughter, the Longissimus thoracis muscle was collected from each carcass for pH, lipid oxidation, meat color, and microbiological analyses. The physical and microbiological quality and oxidative stability of the meat were not affected by the tree component present in the pasture. Regarding the duration of frozen storage, it was found that the pH, meat color (a*, b*, C*, H*, O/M), and lipid oxidation increased as the period of storage increased (P<0.05). The physical and microbiological quality, as well as the oxidative stability of the meat, was not affected by the tree component present in the pasture. However, the meat changed as the frozen storage time increased

PERFIL CLÍNICO DE PACIENTES DE UM PROGRAMA DE REABILITAÇÃO CARDÍACA QUE APRESENTAM RISCO DE TER DIABETES

O Diabetes Mellitus (DM) é uma doença de caráter crônico e que exerce influência negativa sobre os componentes do sistema cardiovascular. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o risco de desenvolver diabetes em cardiopatas participantes de um programa de reabilitação cardíaca. 20 pacientes responderam o questionário Finnish Diabetes Risk Score revelando o risco de desenvolvimento da DM em 10 anos. O questionário avalia a idade, prática de atividade física (AF), consumo diário de frutas e/ou verduras, uso de anti-hipertensivos, história de glicose sanguínea alta e história familiar de diabetes. Apenas 5% dos pacientes foram classificadas como baixo risco, sendo que a maior porcentagem se encontra na faixa de moderado a alto risco, e 40% apresentaram risco alto a muito alto de desenvolver DM. Conclui-se que o risco de indivíduos cardiopatas apresentarem DM ao longo da vida é muito alto, devido à presença dos fatores de risco (FR) associados à doença

A disciplina estatística no curso de pedagogia da USP: uma abordagem histórica

Este artigo apresenta uma abordagem histórica acerca da disciplina estatística no curso de pedagogia da Universidade de São Paulo – USP (1939-1999). O objetivo foi investigar as origens da disciplina, os conteúdos e métodos propostos e seu papel na formação do pedagogo. A análise documental e a história oral foram utilizadas como recursos metodológicos. Fundamentando-se na história do currículo, a pesquisa dialogou especialmente com as ideias centrais de Ivor Goodson, ao compreender o currículo como construção social e investigar como e por que certo conhecimento é ensinado (ou não) em determinado contexto histórico. Constatou-se que a estatística foi considerada muito importante para a área educacional na primeira metade do século XX, por contribuir com a produção de diagnósticos para o planejamento de políticas públicas, com os trabalhos de inspeção escolar e com a classificação de alunos. Com origem nos cursos de administradores escolares do Instituto de Educação da Universidade de São Paulo nos anos 1930, a estatística ganhou espaço no curso de pedagogia, criado em 1939, mantendo-se presente no currículo, ainda que tenha passado por várias reformulações curriculares. A partir dos anos 1980, começou a sofrer limitações no campo educacional, seja pelo enfoque das pesquisas educacionais, que perderam gradualmente o cunho quantitativo, seja pela redefinição do curso de pedagogia, que passou a defender a docência como a base da formação do pedagogo

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Sensitivity of South American tropical forests to an extreme climate anomaly

The tropical forest carbon sink is known to be drought sensitive, but it is unclear which forests are the most vulnerable to extreme events. Forests with hotter and drier baseline conditions may be protected by prior adaptation, or more vulnerable because they operate closer to physiological limits. Here we report that forests in drier South American climates experienced the greatest impacts of the 2015–2016 El Niño, indicating greater vulnerability to extreme temperatures and drought. The long-term, ground-measured tree-by-tree responses of 123 forest plots across tropical South America show that the biomass carbon sink ceased during the event with carbon balance becoming indistinguishable from zero (−0.02 ± 0.37 Mg C ha −1 per year). However, intact tropical South American forests overall were no more sensitive to the extreme 2015–2016 El Niño than to previous less intense events, remaining a key defence against climate change as long as they are protected
