A PSORÍASE NO CONTEXTO DA ATENÇÃO BÁSICA: UM PLANO DE INTERVENÇÃO ATRAVÉS DE UM RELATO DE CASO

  Introdução: A psoríase caracteriza-se por ser uma doença de etiologia desconhecida, com evolução crônica, acentuada e tendências às recidivas. A lesão característica é representada por uma placa eritemato-escamosa, saliente em relação a superfície da pele. Objetivos: Identificar as principais necessidades de educação em saúde de um paciente acometido por psoríase através de um relato de caso vivenciado em uma unidade básica de saúde e no próprio domicílio do paciente. Material e Métodos: A coleta de dados foi realizada através de um formulário com questões abertas e fechadas. Resultados: As principais metas para o paciente foram alcançadas por incluir melhor compreensão sobre a psoríase e o regime e adesão do tratamento, a obtenção da pele mais lisa com o controle das lesões e o desenvolvimento da auto-aceitação que é um enfretamento de estresse para realização das atividades normais e as interações sociais. Conclusões: Constatou-se que o paciente acometido com psoríase precisa está informado de sua patologia, como também toda a população que discrimina esses indivíduos. Portanto, acreditamos na educação em saúde como meio de transformação desta realidade que precisa ser mudada.   Palavras-chave: Psoríase. Educação em saúde. Qualidade de vida. Introduction: Psoriasis is characterized by being a disease of unknown etiology, with a chronic, marked evolution and tendencies to relapse. The characteristic lesion is represented by an erythematous-squamous plaque, protruding from the surface of the skin. Objectives: To identify the main health education needs of a patient affected by psoriasis through a case report in a primary healthcare unit and in the patient's own home. Material and Methods: The data collection was done through a form with open and closed questions. Results: The main goals for the patient were achieved by including a better understanding of psoriasis and treatment regimen and adherence, obtaining smoother skin with lesion control, and developing self-acceptance that is a stress coping for performance of normal activities and social interactions. Conclusions: It was verified that the patient with psoriasis is aware of his pathology, as well as the entire population that discriminates these individuals. Therefore, we believe in health education as a means of transforming this reality that needs to be changed. Keywords: Psoriasis. Health education. Life quality

Degradation of recalcitrant textile azo-dyes by fenton-based process followed by biochar polishing

International audienceThe use of advanced oxidative processes (AOPs) is an efficient alternative for the treatment of textilewastewaters. The aim of this study was to assess the dye removal efficiency of a Fenton-baseddegradation process followed by a polishing step using biochar prepared from rice husk. Six recalcitranttextile dyes - Reactive Red 195 (D1), Synolon Brown S2 (D2), Orange Remazol RGB (D3),Yellow Synozol K3 (D4), Reactive Orange (D5), and Reactive Black 5 (D6) – were treatedwith Fenton and photo-Fenton processes (with and without biochar polishing) under optimizedconditions. The results showed a general efficiency ranking: photo-Fentonþbiochar Fentonþbiochar>photo-Fenton Fenton. The Fenton process was also efficient for the regeneration ofthe dye-saturated biochar. The photo-Fentonþbiochar process achieved the following colorremoval percentages: D1 (98.8%), D2 (99.7%), D3 (98.9%), D4 (96.3%), D5 (94.2%) and D6 (94.8%).This process was applied to a real conventionally-treated textile wastewater and analysis showed areduction in BOD (87.5% degradation), COD (62.5% degradation) and color (93.5% mean removal).These results reveal the possibility for the reuse of the treated water for non-potable industrialuses, for example, floor washing or the cleaning of machines and toilet areas
