Programa Saúde na Escola (PSE): o processo de formação dos profissionais no município do Crato, Ceará, Brasil / School Sealth Program: the process of training of professional in the municipality of Crato, Ceará, Brazil

O Programa Saúde na Escola (PSE) tem como finalidade contribuir positivamente para a formação de estudantes e profissionais de saúde e educação. O presente estudo objetivou compreender a formação dos profissionais da saúde voltada ao PSE, a opinião deles acerca do programa e o modo como a capacitação que recebem tem influência na execução das ações. Estudo descritivo com abordagem qualitativa, realizado com 12 profissionais da ESF do município do Crato, Ceará. Os dados foram analisados segundo o método de Minayo e correlacionados com a literatura. Constatou-se que a formação dos profissionais em relação ao PSE não ocorre de maneira continuada. Além disso, os profissionais relataram o distanciamento entre os setores saúde e educação para o desenvolvimento das ações do PSE. A realização desse trabalho permitiu contribuir com a literatura a respeito do PSE, principalmente evidenciando a importância da formação dos profissionais para o desenvolvimento das ações. Considera-se relevante o desenvolvimento de pesquisas futuras com os profissionais da educação, no intuito de compreender as potencialidades e fragilidades desse grupo tão importante para o sucesso do PSE

Adaptação psicossocial do adolescente ao tratamento hemodialítico / Psychosocial adaptation of adolescents to hemodialytic treatment

Objetivou-se conhecer o processo de adaptação psicossocial do adolescente ao tratamento hemodialítico. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, onde foram incluídos artigos referentes à temática em estudo, desta forma analisou-se um total de 19 artigos, possibilitando sintetizar todas as informações acerca do estudo proposto apresentando os resultados obtidos, como também interpretação e posteriormente discussão. A partir da análise minuciosa dos artigos selecionados foi possível categorizar em três categorias, a saber: construção da identidade adolescente, insuficiência renal crônica - IRC e alterações do estilo de vida do adolescente frente ao tratamento hemodialítico. Foi possível verificar que o adolescente renal crônico em tratamento hemodialítico, ainda desconhece a sua doença, e que busca adaptar-se ao tratamento realizado, consegue reconhecer e até mesmo a assumir, comportamentos diversos, como raiva, alegria, tristeza, medo e que devido as condições que a doença impõe, consideram que o apoio familiar, dos amigos e da equipe de profissionais e até mesmo de outros pacientes nas mesmas condições deles, são imprescindíveis em todo o processo que eles passam, desde o diagnóstico até o tratamento

The complete genome sequence of Chromobacterium violaceum reveals remarkable and exploitable bacterial adaptability

Chromobacterium violaceum is one of millions of species of free-living microorganisms that populate the soil and water in the extant areas of tropical biodiversity around the world. Its complete genome sequence reveals (i) extensive alternative pathways for energy generation, (ii) ≈500 ORFs for transport-related proteins, (iii) complex and extensive systems for stress adaptation and motility, and (iv) wide-spread utilization of quorum sensing for control of inducible systems, all of which underpin the versatility and adaptability of the organism. The genome also contains extensive but incomplete arrays of ORFs coding for proteins associated with mammalian pathogenicity, possibly involved in the occasional but often fatal cases of human C. violaceum infection. There is, in addition, a series of previously unknown but important enzymes and secondary metabolites including paraquat-inducible proteins, drug and heavy-metal-resistance proteins, multiple chitinases, and proteins for the detoxification of xenobiotics that may have biotechnological applications

Zika virus: - a review of the main aspects of this type of arbovirosis

Abstract The objective of this study was to integrate findings related to Zika virus from the scientific literature. An integrative review of Medline was conducted, and data search was performed using the Health Sciences Descriptor Zika virus and the following filters: full texts available; studies in humans; full articles; and publications in Portuguese, French, English, and Spanish. After application of the filters, followed by reading of the titles, abstracts, and full texts, 44 studies were included in the review, for which content analysis was performed. A large part of the literature comprised review articles (84%; N=37); the majority was in English (95%, N=42). In 2016, 84% (N=37) of our sample articles was published, while in 2017, 16% (N=7) was published. The main form of viral transmission was thorough the mosquito Aedes aegypti (N=30). In addition, sexual transmission (N=09), transmission through blood transfusion (N=16), vertical transmission (N=21) and transmission from occupational activities (N=03) occurred. It was possible to diagnose the disease by testing blood (N=22), urine (N=14), saliva (N=06), semen/sperm (N=03), cerebrospinal and amniotic fluid, and other tissues (N=02). Symptomatology occurred in 1-5 people (N=10) between 3 and 7 days after a mosquito bite (N=09). Complications observed were Guillain Barré syndrome (N=27); neurological Zika syndrome (N=27); meningitis, meningoencephalitis, and myelitis (N=07); deaths and/or newborns (N=03). The review provides scientific evidence that contributes to the care, planning and implementation of public policies

NEOTROPICAL XENARTHRANS: a data set of occurrence of xenarthran species in the Neotropics

Xenarthrans—anteaters, sloths, and armadillos—have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting pressure, and conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 species of armadillos, 10 anteaters, and 6 sloths. Our data set includes the families Chlamyphoridae (13), Dasypodidae (7), Myrmecophagidae (3), Bradypodidae (4), and Megalonychidae (2). We have no occurrence data on Dasypus pilosus (Dasypodidae). Regarding Cyclopedidae, until recently, only one species was recognized, but new genetic studies have revealed that the group is represented by seven species. In this data paper, we compiled a total of 42,528 records of 31 species, represented by occurrence and quantitative data, totaling 24,847 unique georeferenced records. The geographic range is from the southern United States, Mexico, and Caribbean countries at the northern portion of the Neotropics, to the austral distribution in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. Regarding anteaters, Myrmecophaga tridactyla has the most records (n = 5,941), and Cyclopes sp. have the fewest (n = 240). The armadillo species with the most data is Dasypus novemcinctus (n = 11,588), and the fewest data are recorded for Calyptophractus retusus (n = 33). With regard to sloth species, Bradypus variegatus has the most records (n = 962), and Bradypus pygmaeus has the fewest (n = 12). Our main objective with Neotropical Xenarthrans is to make occurrence and quantitative data available to facilitate more ecological research, particularly if we integrate the xenarthran data with other data sets of Neotropical Series that will become available very soon (i.e., Neotropical Carnivores, Neotropical Invasive Mammals, and Neotropical Hunters and Dogs). Therefore, studies on trophic cascades, hunting pressure, habitat loss, fragmentation effects, species invasion, and climate change effects will be possible with the Neotropical Xenarthrans data set. Please cite this data paper when using its data in publications. We also request that researchers and teachers inform us of how they are using these data
