O objetivo do estudo foi apresentar à equipe de Enfermagem evidências científicas em relação ao uso dos métodos não farmacológicos para alívio da dor no trabalho de parto. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, descritivo, realizado em 2017 em uma maternidade pública de risco habitual, com a realização de oficinas com 21 profissionais da equipe de Enfermagem do centro obstétrico, a qual os dados decorrentes foram analisados tematicamente. Emergiram três categorias: "Educação permanente" destacada como deficitária; "Benefícios à parturiente", com a diminuição das intervenções desnecessárias e "Mudanças na prática cotidiana" que requer atualizações. Constatou-se a necessidade de ampliar as atividades educativas que possibilitem a reflexão teórico-prática, de maneira a integrar o ensino e serviço, melhorando a qualidade da assistência e assegurando os direitos das mulheres.
Este é um estudo exploratório com abordagem qualitativa, realizado em 2015, que teve como objetivo analisar as percepções de idosos sobre o envelhecimento humano à luz dos contornos políticos (inter)nacionais. Pesquisou-se 93 idosos adstritos à Atenção Básica, com conteúdos categorizados segundo as políticas (inter)nacionais do envelhecimento humano. Coletaram-se dados de caracterização e realizaram-se entrevistas individuais segundo questões norteadoras. A análise de conteúdo apoiou-se no Software NVivo Pro11®, sendo o adensamento teórico (Pearson ≥0,7). Os discursos reiteraram os pilares (participação, saúde e segurança) e os determinantes de saúde (serviço social e de saúde, comportamentais, pessoais, ambiente físico, sociais e econômicos). Emergiram três categorias: 1) Engajamento, socialização e convivência intergeracional; 2) Saúde, bem-estar e redes de apoio e 3) Seguridade social, adaptação e qualidade de vida. Evidenciou-se o conhecimento reificado, mesmo que de forma implícita, nos discursos dos participantes referente a todos os pilares, determinantes, dimensões e eixos políticos (inter)nacionais.
This study aimed to verify the viability of propagation material from coffee plants descended from germplasm susceptible to blister spot disease as well as its susceptibility to Colletotrichum sp. relative to commercial coffee cultivars. In the first experiment, fruits were harvested from plants with and without symptoms of blister spot and sowed in trays containing a commercial sterilized substrate. The percentages of germinated seeds, viable plantlets and seedlings were evaluated. In diseased tissues, pathogens were isolated and identified though a pathogenicity test. In the second experiment, ten commercial cultivars and one cultivar originating from plants with blister spot were inoculated with the pathogens to assess the severity of anthracnose. Significant differences were not observed with respect to seed germination. However, the viability of plantlets and seedlings was reduced in the cultivar originating from plants with blister spot (Genotype Originated from Diseased Plants-GODP). These plants showed characteristic symptoms of blister spot, including necrosis in the leaves and hypocotyls, wilting and death. In the necrotic lesions, we observed characteristic sporulation of Colletotrichum sp. The cultivar most susceptible to anthracnose in cotyledonary leaves was Catuaí Vermelho (GODP), which presented the highest area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC). In conclusion, the viability of propagation material from coffee plants that had descended from plants with symptoms of blister spot (GODP) was reduced compared with plants from other genotypes, although seed germination was not affected. Moreover, GODP species are more susceptible to Anthracnose on the cotyledonary leaves relative to the other analyzed commercial cultivars. This work is the first to report on different symptoms exhibited by seedlings originating from the seeds of plants with symptoms of blister spot.
Objetivo: identificar os determinantes sociais de saúde dos pacientes com transtorno afetivo bipolar (TAB), sua distribuição espacial e a adesão ao tratamento. Métodos: estudo descritivo e transversal, com amostragem não probabilística, realizado no Centro de Atenção Psicossocial de Divinópolis/Minas Gerais, no período de fevereiro/2017 a fevereiro/2018 com 35 pacientes diagnosticados com TAB, submetidos a um questionário, escala clínica e telefonemas. Análise estatística realizada através de técnicas univariadas e multivariadas. Estudo aprovado por Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Resultados: a maioria da população estudada apresentou predição positiva à adesão ao tratamento, que se associou ao sexo, idade, estilo de vida saudável, apoio de redes sociais e comunitárias, saneamento básico, acesso a serviços sociais de saúde e benefício do governo. Conclusão: a adesão ao tratamento é um produto da interação entre as dimensões relacionadas ao paciente, ao serviço de saúde, aos fatores socioeconômicos e à terapêutica proposta.ABSTRACTObjective: to identify the health social determinants of patients with bipolar affective disorder (BAD), their spatial distribution and treatment adherence. Methods: a descriptive and cross-sectional study with non-probabilistic sampling, carried out at the Psychosocial Care Center of Divinópolis/Minas Gerais, from February/2017 to February/2018 with 35 patients diagnosed with BAD, submitted to a questionnaire, clinical scale and phone calls. Analysis performed through univariate and multivariate techniques. Study approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Results: most of the population studied had a positive prediction for treatment adherence, which was associated with gender, age, healthy lifestyle, support from social and community networks, basic sanitation, access to social health services and government benefit. Conclusion: adherence to treatment is a product of the interaction between the dimensions related to the patient, the health service, the socioeconomic factors and the proposed therapy.RESUMENObjetivo: identificar los determinantes sociales de la salud de pacientes con trastorno afectivo bipolar (TAB), su distribución espacial y la adherencia al tratamiento.

Background Surgery is the main modality of cure for solid cancers and was prioritised to continue during COVID-19 outbreaks. This study aimed to identify immediate areas for system strengthening by comparing the delivery of elective cancer surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic in periods of lockdown versus light restriction. Methods This international, prospective, cohort study enrolled 20 006 adult (≥18 years) patients from 466 hospitals in 61 countries with 15 cancer types, who had a decision for curative surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic and were followed up until the point of surgery or cessation of follow-up (Aug 31, 2020). Average national Oxford COVID-19 Stringency Index scores were calculated to define the government response to COVID-19 for each patient for the period they awaited surgery, and classified into light restrictions (index 60). The primary outcome was the non-operation rate (defined as the proportion of patients who did not undergo planned surgery). Cox proportional-hazards regression models were used to explore the associations between lockdowns and non-operation. Intervals from diagnosis to surgery were compared across COVID-19 government response index groups. This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04384926. Findings Of eligible patients awaiting surgery, 2003 (10·0%) of 20 006 did not receive surgery after a median follow-up of 23 weeks (IQR 16–30), all of whom had a COVID-19-related reason given for non-operation. Light restrictions were associated with a 0·6% non-operation rate (26 of 4521), moderate lockdowns with a 5·5% rate (201 of 3646; adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 0·81, 95% CI 0·77–0·84; p<0·0001), and full lockdowns with a 15·0% rate (1775 of 11 827; HR 0·51, 0·50–0·53; p<0·0001). In sensitivity analyses, including adjustment for SARS-CoV-2 case notification rates, moderate lockdowns (HR 0·84, 95% CI 0·80–0·88; p<0·001), and full lockdowns (0·57, 0·54–0·60; p<0·001), remained independently associated with non-operation. Surgery beyond 12 weeks from diagnosis in patients without neoadjuvant therapy increased during lockdowns (374 [9·1%] of 4521 in light restrictions, 317 [10·4%] of 3646 in moderate lockdowns, 2001 [23·8%] of 11 827 in full lockdowns), although there were no differences in resectability rates observed with longer delays. Interpretation Cancer surgery systems worldwide were fragile to lockdowns, with one in seven patients who were in regions with full lockdowns not undergoing planned surgery and experiencing longer preoperative delays. Although short-term oncological outcomes were not compromised in those selected for surgery, delays and non-operations might lead to long-term reductions in survival. During current and future periods of societal restriction, the resilience of elective surgery systems requires strengthening, which might include protected elective surgical pathways and long-term investment in surge capacity for acute care during public health emergencies to protect elective staff and services.
