A família Melastomataceae no município de Rio de Contas, Bahia, Brasil

Rio de Contas is located in the southwestern portion of the Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, with 1,052.3 km2 and 600-1,958m in elevation, with several kinds of vegetation. This work presents a checklist and geographical distribution of the Melastomataceae that occur in Rio de Contas. Collections were made in different kinds of vegetation in the study area, and we also analyzed specimems from Brazilian herbaria. Melastomataceae is one of most representative families in Rio de Contas, with approximately 123 species distributed in four tribes and 17 genera. The tribe Microlicieae is represented by the genera Microlicia Don (36 species), Cambessedesia DC. (seven), Lavoisiera DC. and Chaetostoma DC. (three species each), Trembleya DC. and Rhynchanthera DC. (two species each). The tribe Miconieae is represented by Miconia Ruiz & Pav. (19 species), Leandra Raddi (12), Clidemia D. Don (five) and Ossaea (one). The tribe Melastomeae is represented by the genera Marcetia DC. (18 species), Pterolepis Miq. (four), Tibouchina Aubl. (five), Acisanthera P.Browne (two), Desmoscelis Naud. and Macairea DC. (one species each). The tribe Merianieae is represented by the genus Huberia DC. (one species). Comparison was made to a similar studies in the states of Bahia, Minas Gerais, Distrito Federal and Goiás states. Rio de Contas presents the highest correlation to the Catolés region, also in the southwestern Chapada Diamantina (BA).Rio de Contas localiza-se no Sudoeste da Chapada Diamantina, Bahia.

Men’s position in family care on situations of chronic illness

Objective: To understand the care by men in situations of chronic illness of one or more of his children, based on the dimensions of care. Method: It was based on a comprehensive approach and on the (re)view of the database of the matrix research to which the study is linked, with emphasis on three experiences of illness, in which the men effectively participated in the family care: two children with sickle cell anemia; son with adrenoleukodystrophy and son with concomitant diseases (cancer and kidney disease). Results: The analysis diagram of each family demonstrated different ways of caring, explaining the relationship between the dimensions of care by men: social; affective/ relational and physical/circulation, as well as the reverberations between these dimensions in the care. Conclusion: This understanding is important for health professionals to consider and respect the personalities, dignity and particularities of each family. It also gave visibility to care that has been significantly provided by man, thus supporting him in this process

Enhancement of antibiotic activity by Cordia verbenacea DC

Escherichia coli is known to produce enterotoxins whose properties and its role in diarrheal disease has been extensively investigated. Some species of Staphylococcus are often recognized as etiological agents of many animal and human opportunistic infections. This study is the first test of change in resistance of antibiotic activity by Cordia verbenacea DC. against multiresistant strains of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. In this study, the hexane and methanol extract of Cordia verbenacea DC. were tested for antibacterial activity alone and in combination with aminoglycosides against bacterial strains. The synergy of the methanolic and hexane were verified by microdilution method. A synergistic effect of both extracts combined with the aminoglycosides was demonstrated. It is therefore suggested that the extracts from Cordia verbenacea DC. could be used as a source of natural products derived from this plant with resistance-modifying antibacterial activity, providing a new weapon against the problem of bacterial resistance to antibiotics.Colegio de Farmacéuticos de la Provincia de Buenos Aire

Prevalence and profile of pregnant women who suffered physical violence

Objective: To identify the prevalence and the profile of pregnant women victims of physical violence. Methods: Quantitative, cross-sectional study, conducted with 105 pregnant women followed in four Family Health Units at the city of Jequié, Bahia. The data were collected through questionnaires from the Abuse Assessment Screen (AAS); Tolerance, Annoyed, Cut down and eye opener (T-ACE) and sociodemographic. Results: The prevalence of pregnant women who suffered physical violence was 2,9%. These were 21-26 years of age, race/ skin color black (black and brown) and suffered aggression on the head predominantly by the partner who used alcohol. Conclusion: The prevalence of pregnant women victims of violence was not high, but it is an issue that causes many negative impacts on the woman's and baby's health. Thus from the profile of the women surveyed, it is recommended that specific actions could be carried out in order to at least minimize the occurrence of this problem

Critério da Associação Brasileira de Nutrologia para diagnóstico e tratamento da síndrome metabólica em crianças e adolescentes

Introduction: Metabolic Syndrome is a set of biochemical, physiological, clinical and metabolic factors that start with peripheral insulin resistance and that, when concomitantly present, increase the risk of developing atherosclerosis, cardiovascular events, type 2 diabetes mellitus and mortality from any cause. In children, there is no consensus on diagnostic criteria and treatment, so the importance of their establishment and standardization. Objective: To publish a consensus of the Brazilian Association of Nutrology for the diagnosis and treatment of Metabolic Syndrome in children and adolescents. Methods: Literature review and discussion among authors. Results: For diagnosis, it is recommended to use the following parameters: excess body adiposity, dyslipidemia, alteration of glycemic-insulinemic profile and elevation of blood pressure. Adolescents and children aged seven years or older will be diagnosed with metabolic syndrome if present altered values in at least 3 of the 4 criteria. Lifestyle modifications, improvement in the quantity and quality of food and increased physical activity are used as initial therapy and the use of metformin is indicated for the control of insulin resistance when those strategies will be not sufficient. Liraglutide can be used in people over 12 years of age to promote weight loss and bariatric surgery is reserved for special cases of severe obesity. Conclusion: Early recognition and treatment of Metabolic Syndrome among children and adolescents provide prevention of cardiovascular adverse events and diabetes in patients and improves their quality of life and the present consensus seeks to standardize these conducts
