Percepção docente da aprendizagem baseada em problemas - medicina UniEVANGÉLICA

O estudo relatado neste artigo teve como objetivo conhecer a percepção docente do curso de Medicina da UniEVANGÉLICA a respeito do Método de Aprendizagem Baseada em Problemas (PBL). Quanto ao método adotado, foi realizado um estudo de campo, transversal, retrospectivo, descritivo, de abordagem qualitativa, com aplicação de entrevistas com 20 docentes do curso de medicina da UniEVANGÉLICA. Os dados evidenciaram que os entrevistados, quando questionados sobre o usodo método na formação médica, demonstraram positividade, apontando aspectos como humanização e maior necessidade de atuação pelo discente na construção do conhecimento. Dos professores entrevistados 85% acreditam na melhor capacidade do método na formação de médicos com habilidades interpessoais e interprofissionais, enquanto 95% afirmaram que a metodologia (PBL) exige mais do docente que atua em áreas fora de suas especialidades nas tutorias. A conclusão foi de que a aprendizagem baseada em problemas apresenta um modelo inovador para a construção do aprendizado. Portanto, existe a quebra de conceitos, historicamente construídos, sobre o processo do aprender , e vários são os desafios que o método PBL propõe aos docentes e discentes

Phytochemical Screening and Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Activity of the Ethanolic Extract of the Leaves of Morus alba L.

The search for knowledge of biological activities and phytochemical screening of the species Morus alba L. is non- existent, however the present study came to explore this plant. To perform the phytochemical screening and the evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of the leaves of the species Morus alba L. Experimental analysis, with the collection of leaves of the species to obtain hydroalcoholic extract at 70% and from this extract the main secondary metabolites were identified. And after contributing to the systematic knowledge of the secondary metabolites of Morus alba L., antimicrobial activity was tested from the concentrated extracts of the leaves of the species. Among the extracts tested, the one that presented the most inhibitory activity in S. aureus was the concentrate, then the aqueous and finally the alcoholic. In E. coli strains the extracts showed no effects. Phytochemical tests were performed using the concentrated extract using the methods of reference [1], where it presented the presence of reducing sugars, phenols and tannins, alkaloids and depsides and depsidones. The research emphasized the microbiological action of the species Morus alba L., as it is a poorly studied plant and may help in the future in the development of new drugs. Phytochemical studies were necessary to confirm this microbiological action, as they were essential for the identification of natural and efficient antibacterial agents

An overview of visceral leishmaniasis in the city of Gurupi, south region of Tocantins

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is an endemic disease in the region of Gurupi, with higher prevalence in the pediatric age group, aggravated by the high morbidity and low prophylaxis and prevention strategies of this anthropozoonosis. Objective: To characterize the data reported in the municipality of Gurupi - TO in the years 2013 to 2020 and to outline the epidemiological profile of the disease by determining the risk factors for high prevalence of the disease in this locality. Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive epidemiological research, retrospective and documental based, extracted from the database of SINAN (Notifiable Diseases Information System) of Gurupi in the interval between 2013 and 2020. Evaluative questionnaires were applied to all patients notified and found, analyzing the variables described in the study and subsequent statistical application of the chi-square test. Results: In the city of Gurupi, the most affected age group was between 2 and 9 years (37.29%); the most affected gender was male (66.10%); the year of highest prevalence was the year 2017 a total of 37.28% of cases in the analyzed period; and the location of highest prevalence in the municipality were the neighborhoods farthest from the city center.  As for the probable sites for contamination, most people point to their own home as a source of contamination. Conclusion: The epidemiological cut shows the prevalence of VL in the city of Gurupi and highlights the need for preventive intervention protocols for the prevention of the disease in endemic areas to decrease morbidity and mortality and control the number of cases

Percepção docente da aprendizagem baseada em problemas - medicina UniEVANGÉLICA

The study reported in this paper aimed to learn the perception of the UniEVANGÉLICA Medical School's faculty on the Problem-Based Learning Methodology (PBL). Regarding to the method used, a cross-sectional retrospective, descriptive field study with qualitative approach was conducted. Twenty faculty members of the Medical School were interviewed. The data showed that respondents, when asked about the use of the methodology in medical education, demonstrated positivity, indicating aspects such as humanization and greater need for performance by students in the knowledge building. 85% of the teachers interviewed believe the methodology is the best for training doctors with interpersonal and interprofessional skills, while 95% said that the methodology (PBL) requires more effort from the teachers acting in areas that are not exactly their field of expertise as far as tutoring is concerned. The conclusion was that the problem-based learning presents an innovative model for the learning building. Therefore, there are breaking in concept , historically built on the process of learning, and there are several challenges that the PBL methodology proposes to teachers and students
