Residues of antibiotics in integral and standard pasteurized milk produced and commercialized in Goiás, Brazil

A presença de antibióticos no leite é um fator de risco para o consumidor, podendo causar alergia, resistência bacteriana e até mesmo choques anafiláticos em indivíduos suscetíveis. Com o objetivo de investigar os resíduos de antibióticos no leite, fez-se um estudo em 533 amostras de leite pasteurizado padronizado em Goiás, no período de junho de 1997 a agosto de 1998. O método foi baseado na difusão de resíduos de antibióticos em ágar, tendo o Bacillus subtilus e o Bacillus stearothermophilus como microrganismos-testes. Embora os resíduos tenham sido somente encontrados em 9,95% das amostras, 32,65% das 98 marcas comerciais mostraram-se positivas. Os resultados indicam que, apesar da baixa ocorrência, a presença desses resíduos comprova que os procedimentos sanitários padronizados, recomendados pelo Serviço de Inspeção Federal, não foram seguidos. _______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACTThe presence of antibiotics in milk is a risk factor for consumers. It may cause allergy, bacterial resistance and even anaphylatic shocks in sensitive individuals. In order to investigate the residues of antibiotics in milk, we performed a study in 533 samples of integral and standard pasteurized milk produced and commercialized in Goiás, Brazil, from June 1997 to August 1998. The method was based on the diffusion of residues of antibiotics in agar with Bacillus subtilus and Bacillus stearothermophilus, which act as testing microrganisms. Although residues were only found in 9,95% of the samples, 32,65% were positive as far as trade marks were concerned. The results indicate that, despite of the low occurrence, the presence of these residues in milk demonstrates that the standard sanitary procedures recommended by the Brazilian Federal Inspection Service have not been followed

Imaginaries of power and media networks: dialogues between the Creative Time Summit and Brazil

No campo da pesquisa em comunicação, especificamente no âmbito dos estudos do imaginário, observamos o surgimento de discussões que problematizam temas como arte, iconoclasmo, imagem e poder. Neste cenário, o artigo tem como objetivo desenvolver um estudo transversal sobre os imaginários de poder nas redes midiáticas. Através de mapeamentos das imagens e discursos presentes nas redes do Creative Time Summit, o artigo propõe relações com projetos brasileiros, baseando-se no conceito de imaginário de Durand e adotando como metodologia de análise a cartografia dos processos de comunicação e compartilhamento do imaginário desenvolvida por Leão. Nosso argumento é que as guerras das imagens, a criação de imagens nas comunidades, a compreensão processual e a formulação de pactos que compreendem as relações entre natureza e cultura configuram eixos de análise nas redes midiáticas capazes de revelar as complexas tramas dos imaginários do poder de nossa época.In communication research field, specifically in the scope of the imagery studies, we observe the emergence of discussions that problematize issues such as art, iconoclasm, image and power.

A síndrome de Burnout entre as profissões e suas consequências/Burnout syndrome between professions and their consequences

Contexto: A Síndrome de Burnout (SB) é um problema de saúde pública, uma vez que atinge profissionais de distintas categorias, principalmente aqueles que lidam diretamente com pessoas e exercem ações de cuidado, gerando consequências à saúde física, mental e à qualidade de vida. Caracterizada pelo esgotamento profissional, a SB apresenta caráter multidimensional, com sintomatologia que demonstra exaustão emocional, despersonalização e baixa realização profissional. Objetivos: Verificar a incidência da SB entre as profissões na contemporaneidade e relacionar com as causas e consequências decorrentes dela. Métodos: Revisão integrativa da literatura com uso das bases de dados SCIELO, BIREME, PUBMED, considerando publicações dos últimos 5 anos. Resultados: Os artigos revisados revelam evidências expressivas da SB nas seguintes profissões: profissionais da saúde (enfermeiros, médicos, fisioterapeutas, motoristas do transporte de saúde, educadores físicos, gerentes da ESF); policiais militares, bombeiros, professores, bancários e motoristas de transporte coletivo. Conclusão: A SB apresenta-se de forma crescente na população inserida no ambiente de trabalho e afeta diversos profissionais. As consequências decorrentes dessa síndrome prejudicam o indivíduo em todos os âmbitos de sua vida

Extensionist pioneering at the Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte: online course in first aids and basic life support

The university´s extension has as main aim to develop interventions that impact and embrace the society. The first aids and basic life support (BLS) in the UERN has as principal objective to include, by means of the dissemination of the practical and theoretical knowledge, the first aids procedures turned to the general public, by means of an accessible language and of dynamical methodologies. Conditions of urgency and emergency are presented, usually the most frequent in the pre-hospital´ treatment, where precocious intervention word as the way to save lives, by means of practical and theoretical classes. This work tried to show how these initiatives have been developed, implanting new modalities of access to technical information about first aids, as well as all the used strategies to train effectively academic and not academic people. This Project have been under execution since 2013 and, consequently due to the importance of the theme, every year, the number of trained participants have been increasing, corroborating to the quality of the information presented and to the backup of the university and the citizens. In this way, it is of extremely importance the continuity of the permanent character of the course, in order to promote the importance and constant actualization in the field so neglected and recurrent, also considering, the promotion of the health in the virtual world too, bringing the information to any place in the world with internet access

Uma revisão integrativa sobre a Colangite Biliar Primária

A colangite biliar primária, um novo nome para a cirrose biliar primária, é uma doença colestática de etiologia autoimune e representa a primeira causa de colestase intra-hepática. Caracteriza-se pela destruição de pequenos dutos biliares ligados à infiltração de linfócitos, com prevalência de 10 a 40 por 100.000 habitantes no mundo. Este estudo teve como objetivo refletir sobre novas informações a respeito da colangite biliar primária. Para isso, foi realizada uma revisão integrativa de literatura, selecionando artigos publicados nas bases de dados Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online e Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde. A partir da análise qualitativa dos dados, obteve-se como conclusão as seguintes descobertas: A PBC é um problema de saúde raro e mal diagnosticado; não há conhecimento ainda sobre as razões da predominância dessa da CBP em mulheres, resposta à terapêutica, distribuição geográfica e mortalidade entre sexos; os casos dessa doença são assintomáticos; a qualidade de vida dos pacientes é comprometida com o agravamento dos casos, onde apresentam inicialmente sinais de prurido (20 a 70% dos casos) e fadiga (entre 50% a 78% dos pacientes); exames de biópsica hepática podem ser tranquilamente substituídos por testes não-invasivos, em análises de rotina de bioquímica hepática; a possiblidade de diagnosticar a PBC pode ser diagnosticada partindo de fatores biológicos exclusivos que indicam a presença de anticorpos anti-mitocondriais e uma elevação da fosfatase alcalina. No entanto é quase possível que o PBC seja soronegativo; a etiologia da CBP não sendo encontra clara, sendo o tratamento difícil; em caso de tratamento, utiliza-se mais ursodesoxicólico, ácido biliar hidrofílico natural que bloqueia a síntese hepática do colesterol, estimulando a síntese de ácidos biliares e restaurando o equilíbrio entre esses

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
