Risk factors for wound infection after cesarean section: an integrative review

Objetivo: estudar os fatores predisponentes que interferem no surgimento da infecção em ferida operatória pós-cesárea. Métodos: trata-se de uma revisão integrativa sobre os fatores predisponentes para infecção da ferida operatória pós-cesárea. Tendo como questão norteadora, qual a produção científica nos últimos cinco anos acerca dos fatores predisponentes para infecção da ferida operatória pós-cesárea? Resultados: encontramos cinco publicações que apontaram como os principais fatores predisponentes para a infecção foram, a obesidade, diabetes, baixo status socioeconômicos, duração do trabalho de parto e ruptura prematura de membranas. Conclusão: o assunto é pouco explorado no meio científico e que nos estudos analisados a preocupação com uso da antibioticoterapia foi superior às condições que concerne sobre o pré, trans e pós-operatório ótimo. &nbsp

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Pertussis reemerging: epidemiological profile of confirmed cases

<p></p><p>Abstract Introduction Pertussis is an infectious disease that currently has a reemerging profile. Factors such as weaknesses in the immune system, 1-year follow-up vaccination, changes in genotype of the bacteria and increased susceptibility among young and adults have been raising rate of disease incidence. Objective Thus, it is aimed to identify and to characterize the epidemiological profile of confirmed cases in Rio Grande do Norte (RN) state. Method It was analyzed data from RN at Sinan databases from 2011 to 2014. Results It was observed that the confirmed cases were predominantly children under 6 months of age. The classic symptoms of the disease have been identified in most affected. It was also perceived that the confirmed cases were strongly linked to non-uptake of immunization or incomplete vaccination. Conclusion The findings suggest the importance of vaccination to control disease and the need to improve activities surveillance to provide an accurate epidemiological representation of the disease.</p><p></p

Sistematização da assistência de enfermagem a pacientes oncológicos: uma revisão integrativa da literatura Sistematización de la atención de enfermería a pacientes oncológico: una revisión integradora de la literatura Process standards of nursing care for patients with oncologic conditions: an integrative literature review

Revisão integrativa que objetivou apresentar o conhecimento produzido sobre Sistematização da Assistência de Enfermagem (SAE) através do Processo de Enfermagem (PE) em pacientes oncológicos. Buscou-se evidências no período de setembro a outubro de 2010 nas bases de dados eletrônicas Scopus, Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) e Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS). Foram encontrados cinco artigos. Verificou-se que a maioria dos estudos é do tipo descritivo-exploratório. Rotineiramente as fases do PE não estão sendo aplicadas como instrumento de trabalho e quando ocorrem é de forma incompleta. Concluiu-se nessa revisão, que a SAE através do PE em pacientes oncológicos não é uma prática comum, contudo é sugerida sua implementação como forma de prestação de assistência holística e de qualidade aos clientes e familiares.Revisión integradora cuyo propósito es presentar el conocimiento producido sobre Sistematización de la Asistencia de Enfermería (SAE) a través del Proceso de Enfermería (PE) en pacientes con cáncer.

Data was collected from September to October, 2010 in the electronic databases Scopus, Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and Scientific and Technical Literature of Latin America and the Caribbean (LILACS). Five articles were found. The results show that the majority of studies are descriptive and exploratory. Routinely, NP phases are not being applied as a tool and when they are, it is in an incomplete way. The conclusion of this review shows that the SAE through the NP for patients with oncologic conditions is not a common practice; however, its implementation is suggested as a way to provide holistic care with quality to individuals and their families

Educational actions for the elderly

In the aging process, the older adults are faced with the emergence of chronic diseases that often reflect in difficulties for health maintenance. Therefore, it is important to work with seniors to promote the improvement in lifestyle. This article is a report from a research project at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, which carries out educational actions in the Inaraí Association (Natal,RN,Brazil), with the objective of divulging activities and thereby stimulate the formation of groups that aim at promoting the health of the elderly. To develop the actions, we rely on the information in the epidemiological profile previously developed in the Association, from then on, through weekly meetings collected with elderly women. We intend to stimulate good habits of life, in order to make possible the improvement of lifestyle and, therefore, to promote health for the group
