Introducción: la evaluación del proyecto educativo que se lleva a cabo actualmente en la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas de Guantánamo no es la más adecuada. Esto se evidencia en la participación poco activa y asistemática de los dirigentes de la FEU en la elaboración y evaluación del proyecto educativo a partir de indicadores, lo que influye en la calidad del proceso de integralidad de los estudiantes. Objetivo: elaborar un libro electrónico para la evaluación del proyecto educativo del año, que favorezca el perfeccionamiento del proceso de integralidad de los estudiantes de la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas Guantánamo. Método: se realizó un estudio tipo investigación acción en el período octubre de 2015 hasta junio de 2016 con 18 profesores guías y jefes de brigada y la jefa del colectivo de año de dicha facultad, donde se empleó una metodología para el diseño del material electrónico que consta de tres hojas de cálculo, que permite a partir de indicadores diseñados evaluar los resultados del proyecto educativo, además, de permitir determinar los posibles estudiantes integrales y el cumplimiento de los objetivos propuestos en el proyecto. Resultados: se obtuvo como principal resultado la transformación del personal pedagógico favoreciendo un nuevo estilo de trabajo en función de elevarla calidad del proceso y su impacto en la formación integral de los estudiantes. Conclusiones: contribuye a perfeccionar el proceso de integralidad a partir que propicia el empleo de métodos participativos, dinámicos, democráticos, a diferencia de los que se empleaban hasta el momento, con viejos estilos. ; Introduction: the evaluation of the educational project that is currently carried out in the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Guantanamo is not the most appropriate. This is evidenced by the active and unsystematic participation of the FEU leaders in the elaboration and evaluation of the educational project based on indicators, which influences the quality of the integrality process of the students. Objective: to prepare an electronic book for the evaluation of the educational project of the year, which favors the improvement of the integrality process of the students of the Faculty of Medical Sciences Guantanamo Method: an action research study was carried out in the period October 2015 to June 2016 with 18 teacher as guides, brigade chiefs and the head of the year collective of this faculty, where a methodology for the design of the electronic material was used. It consists of three spreadsheets, which allows from designed indicators to evaluate the results of the educational project, in addition, to determine the possible integral students and the fulfillment of the objectives proposed in the project. Results: the main result was the transformation of the pedagogical staff favoring a new style of work in order to raise the quality of the process and its impact on the integral formation of the students. Conclusions: it contributes to perfecting the integrality process from which it encourages the use of participatory, dynamic, democratic methods, unlike those used up to now, with old styles. ; Introdução: a avaliação do projeto educativo que se leva a cabo atualmente na Faculdade de Ciências Médicas de Guantánamo não é a mais adequada.

BACKGROUND: In addition to protection against the target diseases, vaccines may have non-specific effects (NSEs). Measles vaccine (MV) has beneficial NSEs, providing protection against non-measles deaths, most so for girls. By contrast, though protecting against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis, DTP vaccine is associated with increased female mortality relative to male mortality. In 2008, Guinea-Bissau replaced DTP with the DTP-containing pentavalent vaccine (Penta; DTP-H. influenza type B-Hepatitis B) at 6, 10 and 14weeks and yellow fever vaccine (YF) was to be given with MV. We investigated possible sex-differential mortality rates following Penta and MV+YF vaccination. METHODS: Bandim Health Project (BHP) registers vaccines given by the three government health centres in the study area and vital status through demographic surveillance. We assessed the association between sex and mortality by vaccination status in Cox proportional hazards models with age as underlying timescale. Follow-up was censored at a subsequent vaccination contact or after 6months of follow-up. RESULTS: Between September 2008 and April 2011, we registered 23,448 vaccination contacts for children aged 42-365days; 17,313 were for Penta and 3028 for MV (2907 co-administered with YF). During follow-up 112 children died. The female/male mortality rate ratio was 1.73 (1.11-2.70) following Penta and 0.38 (0.12-1.19) after MV (p=0.02 for same effect). Adjusting for maternal education or weight-for-age at the time of vaccination did not change the estimates. CONCLUSION: Penta appears to have the same negative effects on mortality as those seen for DTP. Assessing post-vaccination mortality for boys and girls is necessary to improve the vaccination programme.

A consortium of translational stem cell and stroke experts from multiple academic institutes and biotechnology companies, under the guidance of the government (FDA/NIH), is missing. Here, we build a case for the establishment of this consortium if cell therapy for stroke is to advance from the laboratory to the clinic.

RESUMO Objetivou-se analisar as concepções da população brasileira acerca da pandemia da Covid-19 em interface com o contexto social e político. Estudo transversal, realizado em cinco regiões brasileiras, entre maio e junho de 2020. Aplicou-se questionário on-line com variáveis socioeconômicas e aspectos relacionados com a concepção da Covid-19. Análises bivariadas e multivariadas avaliaram as associações do desfecho 'concepções sobre a pandemia da Covid-19'. Dos 1.113 participantes, 68,7% foram infectados ou conheciam alguém, destes, 32,7% sem necessidade de internação. Dos 90,4% que classificaram a Covid-19 como doença grave, 71,2% não se sentiam seguros para cuidar do doente em casa. Sobre o acesso à infor- mação, 51,1% acessaram os meios oficiais e não oficiais, e 90,0% consideraram necessário o distanciamento social. Na análise multivariada, concepção sobre a gravidade da Covid-19 'ser uma doença como outra qualquer' manteve a associação com o sexo (OR=1,1756; p=0,025), a região (OR=1,455; p=0,001), a pandemia no Brasil (OR=0,759; p=0,035) e a necessidade do distanciamento social (OR=20,003; p=0,000). Avanços da pandemia, combinados aos discursos dicotômicos, certamente trarão desdobramentos complexos na crise social, econômica e política no período pós-pandemia.

Objetivo: Conhecer a percepção de idosos que vivenciaram situação de rua e a relação com sua qualidade de vida.

Os dados foram analisados segundo Bardin. Resultados: Todos os participantes eram do sexo masculino. Cinco eram casados, cinco não têm escolaridade e um tinha o segundo grau completo. Após a análise dos dados, surgiram quatro unidades temáticas: Percepção da qualidade de vida; Razões pelas quais foram para as ruas e a sobrevivência nas ruas; Acesso aos serviços de saúde; Reconhecimento da casa de acolhida e a relação com familiares. Considerações finais: O trabalho e a saúde foram citados como fator importante para uma boa Qualidade de Vida. A casa de acolhida foi valorizada como possibilidade de melhoria, porquanto nela eles têm acesso a alimentação, higiene pessoal e lazer.

International audience ; The objective of Integrated Care Pathways for Airway Diseases (AIRWAYS-ICPs) is to launch a collaboration to develop multi-sectoral care pathways for chronic respiratory diseases in European countries and regions. AIRWAYS-ICPs has strategic relevance to the European Union Health Strategy and will add value to existing public health knowledge by: 1) proposing a common framework of care pathways for chronic respiratory diseases, which will facilitate comparability and trans-national initiatives; 2) informing cost-effective policy development, strengthening in particular those on smoking and environmental exposure; 3) aiding risk stratification in chronic disease patients, using a common strategy; 4) having a significant impact on the health of citizens in the short term (reduction of morbidity, improvement of education in children and of work in adults) and in the long-term (healthy ageing); 5) proposing a common simulation tool to assist physicians; and 6) ultimately reducing the healthcare burden (emergency visits, avoidable hospitalisations, disability and costs) while improving quality of life. In the longer term, the incidence of disease may be reduced by innovative prevention strategies. AIRWAYS-ICPs was initiated by Area 5 of the Action Plan B3 of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing. All stakeholders are involved (health and social care, patients, and policy makers).
