Promoção da Saúde em Campos de Estágio para a Formação Médica

RESUMO O presente estudo investigou as concepções e práticas de Promoção da Saúde dos profissionais das nove Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) que constituem campo de estágio do curso de Medicina da Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (UERN), na cidade de Mossoró (RN), discutindo-se os achados na perspectiva das novas tendências em educação médica, Saúde e Atenção. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório com abordagem qualitativa, aplicando-se a técnica de análise temática para análise de dados. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram 25 profissionais que atuam na Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF). Os resultados revelaram três tendências conceituais: Promoção da Saúde assimilada como prevenção de doenças; concepção difusa sobre Promoção da Saúde; e caracterização apropriada. Entre as práticas, prevaleceram as palestras, realizadas nas UBS com grupos de pacientes, no contexto de ações e programas, como Hiperdia, idosos e grávidas, e as orientações individuais, proporcionadas tanto nas UBS, quanto durante as visitas domiciliares. Entre os principais desafios postos à Promoção da Saúde foram constatados: persistência do modelo biomédico, déficit de recursos humanos, excesso de demanda e ausência de mecanismos de qualificação, que atuam como fatores de fragilização e fragmentação das equipes. Conclui-se que é necessário intensificar os esforços para uma construção dialogada entre Ensino, Serviço, Gestão em Saúde e a sociedade. No campo da educação médica, destaca-se a disponibilidade de instrumentos que amparam a articulação entre as instituições formadoras e os serviços de saúde e oferecem mecanismos para uma formação integrada e a Educação Permanente. Reafirma-se o papel das escolas médicas, empenhadas em dar concretude aos propósitos da Promoção da Saúde, harmonizados com o modelo dialógico da educação, para a formação de profissionais médicos com o perfil que a sociedade precisa, em favor de uma vida mais saudável e de uma sociedade melhor

Evaluating methods for transplanting endangered elkhorn corals in the Virgin Islands

Restoration of rare corals is desirable and restoration projects are fairly common, but scientific evaluation of this approach is limited. We tested several techniques for transplant and restabilization of Acropora palmata (the elkhorn coral), an ecologically important Caribbean coral whose populations have suffered severe declines. In rough weather, fragments break-off colonies of branching corals like A. palmata as a normal form of asexual reproduction. We transplanted naturally produced coral fragments from remnant populations to nearby restoration sites. Untouched control fragments at the donor site died faster and grew slower than fragments attached to the reef, so attaching fragments to the reef is beneficial. Transplanted fragments grew and died at a rate similar to fragments left at the donor site (both groups were attached to the reef), so there were no effects of moving fragments or differences in habitat quality between donor and restoration sites. Growth and survival were similar using four methods of attaching fragments to the reef: cable ties, two types of epoxy resin, and hydrostatic cement. Corals sometimes compete with the macroalgae that dominate degraded reefs, and clearing surrounding algae improved the growth of fragments. After 4 years, transplanted fragments grew to 1,450 cm2 in area and so were potentially sexually active. Because the methods tested are simple and cheap, they could be used by volunteer recreational divers to restore locally extirpated A. palmata populations or to enhance reefs where natural recovery is slow. © 2010 Society for Ecological Restoration International

Health Promotion on Internship Fields for Medical Training

<p></p><p>ABSTRACT The present study investigated the concepts and practices related to health promotion among professionals from nine Basic Health Units - BHU, that constitute the internship field of the Medical course of Rio Grande do Norte State University - UERN, in the town of Mossoró/RN. The findings are discussed from the perspective of new trends in Medical Education, Health and Care. This is an exploratory study with a qualitative approach, applying the thematic analysis technique for data analysis. The research subjects were twenty-five professionals who work in the Family Health Strategy - FHS. The results revealed three conceptual tendencies: Health Promotion assimilated as a form of disease prevention, a diffused concept of Health Promotion and, finally, an appropriate characterization. The practices included lectures with groups of patients, in the context of actions and programs, such as Hiperdia (addressing hypertension), health of the elderly and pregnant, and individual guidelines, provided both at the BHU and during home visits. The main challenges identified for health promotion included: the persistence of the biomedical model, the human resources deficit, the excess demand and absence of qualification mechanisms, which contribute toward team fragility and fragmentation. In conclusion, it is necessary to intensify efforts toward achieving a dialogical construction between Teaching, Services, Health Management and the Society, highlighting in the field of Medical Education the availability of instruments that support coordination between training institutions and the Health Services and offer mechanisms for integrated training and permanent education. The role of medical schools is reasserted: committed to consolidating the purposes of Health Promotion, aligned to the dialogical model of education for training medical professionals with a profile that society needs, and in favor of a healthier life and a better society.</p><p></p

CYP2C19 genotype predicts steady state escitalopram concentration in GENDEP

In vitro work shows CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 contribute to the metabolism of escitalopram to its primary metabolite, N-desmethylescitalopram. We report the effect of CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 genotypes on steady state morning concentrations of escitalopram and N-desmethylescitalopram and the ratio of this metabolite to the parent drug in 196 adult patients with depression in GENDEP, a clinical pharmacogenomic trial. Subjects who had one CYP2D6 allele associated with intermediate metabolizer phenotype and one associated with poor metabolizer (i.e. IM/PM genotypic category) had a higher mean logarithm escitalopram concentration than CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers (EMs) (p=0.004). Older age was also associated with higher concentrations of escitalopram. Covarying for CYP2D6 and age, we found those homozygous for the CYP2C19*17 allele associated with ultrarapid metabolizer (UM) phenotype had a significantly lower mean escitalopram concentration (2-fold, p=0.0001) and a higher mean metabolic ratio (p=0.0003) than EMs, while those homozygous for alleles conferring the PM phenotype had a higher mean escitalopram concentration than EMs (1.55-fold, p=0.008). There was a significant overall association between CYP2C19 genotypic category and escitalopram concentration (p=0.0003; p=0.0012 Bonferroni corrected). In conclusion, we have demonstrated an association between CYP2C19 genotype, including the CYP2C19*17 allele, and steady state escitalopram concentration. © 2012 British Association for Psychopharmacology.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
