Lugar de Memória e Arte: Rastros de uma escola: Place of Memory and Art: Traces of a school

This paper starts from the provocations of Fischer and Loponte (2020) regarding the ways of inhabiting the school, and from their invitation to look at the school for what is possible to invent and create in it. In this context, it engages in dialogue with authors such as Masschelein, Simons; Helguera; Bosi; Vergara; Irwin, to reflect on the Place of Memory and Art, a project linked to the PIBID project at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (State of Minas Gerais, Brazil) that suggested a series of propositions of fruition and artistic creation with students from the second cycle of elementary school in a public school in the city of Juiz de Fora, State of Minas Gerais (Brazil). The project promoted exchanges of experiences between these students and invited artists, which made it possible to inhabit a museum with works created at the school by the participants of the meetings, thus revealing a school that invents and occupies spaces.  Este texto parte das provocações de Fischer, Loponte (2020) a respeito dos modos de habitar a escola, e no convite que fazem para olharmos para a escola pelo que é possível de inventar e criar nela.

Interferências do tratamento para neoplasias no desempenho sexual de mulheres

doi: 10.5216/ree.v15i2.16649 - http://dx.doi.org/10.5216/ree.v15i2.16649   RESUMO Objetivou-se investigar o desempenho sexual de mulheres com câncer e conhecer como a imagem corporal interfere na sexualidade de mulheres durante o tratamento de neoplasias. Pesquisa qualitativa com doze mulheres em tratamento para o câncer, realizada na unidade ambulatório de oncologia em um hospital filantrópico da cidade de Salvador-BA, em maio de 2011. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo descrita por Bardin. A partir das análises das entrevistas, emergiram duas categorias: sexualidade antes do tratamento para neoplasia e sexualidade durante o tratamento para neoplasia, e uma subcategoria: imagem corporal na vivência da sexualidade. Conclui-se que é de extrema relevância a atuação do enfermeiro, tanto na prática assistencial quanto nas orientações pertinentes às alterações do padrão sexual e da imagem corporal durante e após o tratamento do câncer, contribuindo, assim, para a qualidade de vida e estimulando os pacientes a tentar usufruir de uma vida sexual satisfatória.

Role of 5-HT1A and 5-HT2C receptors of the dorsal periaqueductal gray in the anxiety- and panic-modulating effects of antidepressants in rats

Antidepressant drugs are first-line treatment for panic disorder. Facilitation of 5-HT1A receptor-mediated neurotransmission in the dorsal periaqueductal gray (dPAG), a key panic-associated area, has been implicated in the panicolytic effect of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine. However, it is still unknown whether this mechanism accounts for the antipanic effect of other classes of antidepressants drugs (ADs) and whether the 5-HT interaction with 5-HT2C receptors in this midbrain area (which increases anxiety) is implicated in the anxiogenic effect caused by short-term treatment with ADs. The results showed that previous injection of the 5-HT1A receptor antagonist WAY-100635 in the dPAG blocked the panicolytic-like effect caused by chronic systemic administration of the tricyclic AD imipramine in male Wistar rats tested in the elevated T-maze. Neither chronic treatment with imipramine nor fluoxetine changed the expression of 5-HT1A receptors in the dPAG. Treatment with these ADs also failed to significantly change ERK1/2 (extracellular-signal regulated kinase) phosphorylation level in this midbrain area. Blockade of 5-HT2C receptors in the dPAG with the 5-HT2C receptor antagonist SB-242084 did not change the anxiogenic effect caused by a single acute injection of fluoxetine or imipramine in the Vogel conflict test. These results reinforce the view that the facilitation of 5-HT1A receptor mediated neurotransmission in the dPAG is a common mechanism involved in the panicolytic effect caused by chronic administration of ADs. On the other hand, the anxiogenic effect observed after short-term treatment with these drugs does not depend on 5-HT2C receptors located in the dPAG.Peer reviewe

Effectiveness of papain gel in venous ulcer treatment: randomized clinical trial

OBJECTIVE: to assess the effectiveness of 2% papain gel compared to 2% carboxymethyl cellulose in the treatment of chronic venous ulcer patients.METHOD: randomized controlled clinical trial with 12-week follow-up. The sample consisted of 18 volunteers and 28 venous ulcers. In the trial group, 2% papain gel was used and, in the control group, 2% carboxymethyl cellulose gel.RESULTS: the trial group showed a significant reduction in the lesion area, especially between the fifth and twelfth week of treatment, with two healed ulcers and a considerable increase in the amount of epithelial tissue in the wound bed.CONCLUSION: 2% papain gel demonstrated greater effectiveness in the reduction of the lesion area, but was similar to 2% carboxymethyl cellulose gel regarding the reduction in the amount of exudate and devitalized tissue. Multicenter research is suggested to evidence the effectiveness of 2% papain gel in the healing of venous ulcers. UTN number: U1111-1157-299

Incidence and growth of salmonella enterica on the peel and pulp of avocado (persea americana) and custard apple (annona squamosa)

The aim of this study was to assess the incidence and to estimate the growth kinetic parameters (maximum growth rate, μ; lag time, λ; and maximum population, κ) of Salmonella on the peel and pulp of avocado (Persea americana var. americana) and custard apple (Annona squamosa L.) as affected by temperature (10–30 °C). The incidence of Salmonella was assessed on the peel and pulp of the fruits (n = 200 of each fruit), separately, totalizing 800 analyses. Only three samples of custard apple pulp were positive for Salmonella enterica and the three isolates recovered belonged to serotype S. Typhimurium. Salmonella was not recovered from avocado and custard apple peels and from avocado pulp. Generally, the substrate (pulp or peel) of growth did not affect μ values of S. enterica (p > 0.05). Very similar μ values were found for S. enterica inoculated in custard apple and avocado. S. enterica presented the highest λ in the peel of the fruits. The growth of S. enterica resulted in larger λ in custard apple in comparison to avocado. For example, the λ of S. enterica in the pulp of custard apple and avocado were 47.0 ± 0.78 h and 10.0 ± 3.78 h, respectively. The lowest values of κ were obtained at the lower storage temperature conditions (10 °C). For instance, κ values of 3.7 ± 0.06 log CFU/g and 2.9 ± 0.03 log CFU/g were obtained from the growth of S. enterica in avocado and custard apple pulps at 10 °C (p < 0.05), respectively. On the other hand, at 30 °C, κ values were 6.5 ± 0.25 log CFU/g and 6.5 ± 0.05 log CFU/g, respectively. Significantly higher κ were obtained from the growth of S. enterica in the pulp than in the peel of the fruits (p < 0.05). For instance, the growth of S. enterica in the pulp of avocado led to a κ value of 6.5 ± 0.25 log CFU/g, while in the peel led to a κ value of 4.6 ± 0.23 log CFU/g (p < 0.05). In general, growth kinetic parameters indicated that avocado comprises a better substrate than custard apple for the growth of S. enterica. The square root model fitted to the data obtained in this study and to the growth data available in the literature for other tropical low acid fruits indicated high variability in μ and λ of Salmonella. The results obtained in this study show that whole low acid tropical fruits can harbor Salmonella, and that this foodborne pathogen can not only survive but also grow both on the peel and pulp of low acid tropical fruits, such as avocado and custard apple2351016CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO - CNPQCOORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DE PESSOAL DE NÍVEL SUPERIOR - CAPESFUNDAÇÃO DE AMPARO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO - FAPESP#302763/2014-7Sem informação#13/19520-

Rastreio cognitivo em pacientes com acidente vascular cerebral: um estudo transversal

Objetivo O estudo objetivou-se a fazer um rastreio cognitivo nos pacientes com acidente vascular cerebral (AVC), a fim de determinar pontos de corte de acordo com a idade, escolaridade e grau de comprometimento neurológico. Métodos Foi realizado um estudo transversal no qual participaram 109 pacientes ambulatoriais, sendo 61 homens, com média da idade de 59 anos (± 11), média do tempo de escolaridade de 5 anos (± 4) e do tempo de sequela de 16 meses (± 14). Os pacientes foram avaliados por meio do Miniexame do Estado Mental (MEEM) e pela National Institute of Health Stroke Scale. Os dados foram analisados pela regressão linear múltipla (stepwise forward). Resultados Verificou-se que as variáveis grau de comprometimento neurológico, idade e escolaridade contribuíram significativamente para o valor global do MEEM e explicaram a variância do estado cognitivo (R2 ajustado = 0,24). Cada aumento do comprometimento neurológico representou diminuição de 0,456 no escore do MEEM. Quanto maior a idade, ocorreu uma diminuição de 0,202 no MEEM, e à medida que diminui o tempo de escolaridade, houve uma diminuição de 0,190 no MEEM. Os pontos de corte variaram de 14 a 22 de acordo com o grau de comprometimento neurológico, idade e escolaridade. Conclusão Os resultados apontaram que, por meio do rastreio positivo de déficit cognitivo, foram encontrados pontos de corte associados ao comprometimento neurológico, necessitando também serem ajustados pela idade e escolaridade, sugerindo que essas associações sejam preferencialmente levadas em consideração na planificação da reabilitação neuropsicológica dos pacientes com AVC
