Authors: Inggas Made Agus Mahendra , Dianata Dewa Ayu Ina , Situmeang Rocksy F. V. , Wahjoepramono Eka J. , Kaido Takanobu
Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND: Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurobehavioral disease that has onset at an early age around 5–7 years old. This disease affects 0.3–0.8% of young age population. With criteria diagnosis at least one vocal and two motor tics beginning before 18 years old. The symptoms of tics remain unusual from a social point of view, thus making it difficult for patients to evolve their professional life and education level. We present a case report of a young male patient with refractory TS with a Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) score of 88 out of 100; he has experienced remarkable improvement after undergoing a deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedure.

CASE REPORT: A 23-year-old male came to our neurosurgery outpatient clinic who had had a history of TS since 8 years ago. He had facial and jumping-type tics. Lately, his jumping movements cannot be controlled, with increasing frequency and intensity. The maximum tic-free interval is only 30 min. On 1st-time evaluation in the neurosurgery outpatient clinic, he scored 88 out 0f 100 on the YGTSS even after medication treatment, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, and behavioral therapies. The DBS procedure was carried out in November 2018 with targets on the bilateral intralaminar nuclei of thalamus (centromedian nucleus). The result is convincing, with decrease of YGTSS score until 14 after 3 years evaluation postsurgery.

CONCLUSION: After performing DBS targeting the bilateral thalamus (central thalamus nucleus), the severity of tic was dramatically reduced. The result is pleasing to the patient as they can resume activity in public and return to college. Case reports regarding the treatment of refractory TS with DBS are still rare in Indonesia. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such report with long-term follow-up in South East Asia.

Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND: The American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR TI-RADS) classified and predicted the risk of thyroid nodule malignancy with ultrasound scan scoring system. AIM: Hence, we aimed to investigate the value of the combined use of ultrasound ACR TI-RADS scoring and ultrasound-guided thyroid fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) based on the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytology (TBSRTC) for assessing the accuracy tests of diagnosing low and high-risk thyroid nodules of ACR TI-RADS. METHODS: We enrolled 392 patients with thyroid nodules who underwent ultrasound scanning and scoring using the ACR TI-RADS classification along with ultrasound-guided thyroid FNAC and scoring with TBSRTC. The two methods were grouped as low and high risk of malignancy to evaluate the accuracy of ACR TI-RADS. RESULTS: Three hundred and ninety-two patients were enrolled in the study. The mean (Standard deviation [SD]) age was 46.03 (13.96) years, 332 (84.7%) were females and the mean (SD) of body mass index was 31.90 (22.32) kg/m2 and Vitamin D 17.65 (11.15) nmol/L. The mean (SD) for thyroid function test was 5.37 (44.16) mmol/L for thyroid-stimulating hormone, 1.48 (1.49) ng/dL for free thyroxine (FT4), and 2.69 (0.70) nmol/L for free triiodothyronine (FT3). Most of the participants were euthyroid (63.8%), but 28.6% had hypothyroidism and 7.7% had hyperthyroidism. The accuracy tests of ACR TI-RADS in relation to TBSRTC, were sensitivity (87.8%), specificity (65.2%), positive predictive value (29.8%), and negative predictive value (97%). The area under the curve = 0.590, 95% CI = 0.530–0.650, p ˂ 0.006. CONCLUSION: ACR TI-RADS is a simple, practical, and reliable scoring system for assessing thyroid nodule; it has a better overall diagnostic performance and the ability to exclude unnecessary FNAC with high negative predictive value.

Published: February 2022

Production of cultured meat involves synthesizing meat from animal tissue samples in a controlled environment using biotechnology. This study was directed to understand the perception of Sri Lankan consumer on cultured meat consumption. A structural survey was conducted in Sri Lanka using a probability sample of 14200 people from 11 districts and it was selected proportionately to the population in selected divisional secretariat divisions of these districts. The result of the survey revealed that 75% of the population was interested in accepting the cultured meat. The study showed that the meat consumers usually considered the health benefits mostly followed by nutritional properties, sensory properties especially the flavor and texture and meat price. Participants have understood the advantages of cultured meat in terms of animal welfare, environmental aspects, and food security of the country. Therefore, it can be concluded that there will be a substantial market for cultured meat, when it is introduced to the market. Educating people about intrinsic properties of cultured meat will also be important. In addition, the regression analysis showed that the acceptance level of cultured meat increased with the education level of consumers.
La morte cerebrale: aspetti diagnostici
Authors: Manni C. , Proietti R. , Della Corte F.
Published: February 2022

Gli Autori, ritenendo che una cattiva divulgazione scientifica nuoccia al dibattito pubblico sulla c.d. "morte cerebrale", si addentrano nel concetto biologico di morte notando come le discussioni e le confusioni in merito riguardano fondamentalmente due punti: 1. l'identificazione della morte cerebrale con la morte della persona; 2. i criteri che devono essere accettati per una diagnosi corretta di morte cerebrale. Lo studio si propone successivamente di chiarire i possibili equivoci terminologici e concettuali nella difficile materia. Vengono, inoltre, presi in esame i meccanismi, i correlati anatomici e quelli clinici della morte cerebrale, illustrandone, infine, anche le procedure di accertamento (da quelle classiche a quelle più avanzate) sia nell'adulto che in età pediatrica.

L'Autore prosegue illustrando l'etiopatogenesi dei danni che conducono alla morte cerebrale e la diagnosi differenziale tra stato vegetativo persistente e morte del tronco encefalico. Lo studio si conclude ponendo l'accento sulla molteplicità di valenze conferite al termine "morte cerebrale".
Accertamento della morte: normativa vigente e prospettive future
Authors: Fiori Angelo , Di Pietro Maria Luisa
Published: February 2022

Tra le cause che hanno ritardato in sede parlamentare l'approvazione del DDL n. 3280/1988 sui trapianti di organi, vi è stata la difficoltà di raggiungere un accordo sulla definizione dei criteri per l'accertamento della morte, difficoltà suffragata anche dall'avvertita esigenza di non subordinare tale atto diagnostico al solo scopo di prelevare organi ex-cadavere. Per questo motivo l'attuale tendenza legislativa è di scindere il problema dell'accertamento di morte da quello dei trapianti di organo, indicando così criteri unici anche a fronte di necessità diverse (quali, ad es., l'uso o meno di tecniche di rianimazione artificiale). A tale scopo sono stati presentati nel corso della X e della XI legislatura alcuni DDL (n. 4613/1990; n. 3280ter/1990; n. 764-A/1993), i cui contenuti vengono presi in esame dagli autori di questo articolo e confrontati con le normative vigenti in altri paesi. Tale analisi è preceduta da un excursus storico sull'evoluzione della normativa italiana in materia di accertamento di morte (dal Ro n. 448/1892 al DM 9/1(1 970) e dall'esposizione dei contenuti della normativa attuale.

The Impact of an Intergroup Dialogue Workshop on Culturally Competent Clinical Behaviors in Athletic Trainers
Authors: Claiborne Tina L. , Kochanek Jill , Pangani Jolene F.
Published: February 2022

Context

Athletic trainers (ATs) possess moderate levels of cultural knowledge and awareness but a lower capacity to demonstrate culturally competent clinical behaviors. Proven educational strategies for improving culturally responsive care have yet to emerge. Intergroup dialogue is a pedagogical approach that may bridge the knowledge-to-practice gap, promote equity, and enhance culturally competent patient care.

Objective

To determine the impact of an intergroup dialogue workshop on cultural knowledge and awareness and on clinical behaviors associated with cultural competence.

Design

Mixed-methods cross-sectional cohort.

Setting

In-person workshop and survey with web-based survey follow-up.

Patients or Other Participants

Sixteen practicing ATs.

Intervention(s)

ATs participated in an intergroup dialogue workshop designed to improve cultural competence. Cultural awareness and sensitivity (CAS) and culturally competent behavioral intentions (CCB) were measured quantitatively using a modified Cultural Competence Assessment. Written survey responses recorded participants' workshop experiences and patterns of culturally competent clinical behaviors.

Main Outcome Measure(s)

A 2 × 3 analysis of variance with Tukey post hoc (P < .05) calculated differences in the CAS and CCB measurements over time (preworkshop, immediately postworkshop, 6 weeks postworkshop). Written responses were coded to identify common themes, type and frequency of behavior modifications.

Results

The CAS scores were greater postworkshop when compared to preworkshop values (P = .010), with no further change 6 weeks postworkshop (P = 1.00). The CCB was significantly higher postworkshop (P < .001), and then returned to baseline values 6 weeks postworkshop. Qualitatively, however, there was evidence of sustained behavioral change 6 weeks postworkshop, with a majority (11, 69%) of participants reporting clinical behavior changes.

Conclusions

Our results offer initial support for the efficacy of an intergroup dialogue workshop to promote culturally responsive clinical behaviors among ATs. This method may be used by AT educators, coordinators of clinical education, and practitioners to prepare current and future ATs with knowledge and skills to be culturally competent practitioners.
The management of head and neck cancer in Africa. What lessons can be learned from African literature?
Authors: Coutts Kim A. , Seedat Jaishika , Vlok Ellen
Published: February 2022

There is a significant dearth of contextually relevant information related to the management of head and neck cancer (HNC) in Africa. The aim of this letter was to put forward the findings from our larger systematic review to describe the current management of HNC patients in Africa and to identify gaps and present potential solutions. Sixty-six articles were included and analysed with descriptive statistics, a narrative synthesis, and thematic analysis. Surgical resection remains the primary medical intervention in Africa, whilst chemotherapy and radiation services remain limited. There was no mention of multidisciplinary team input in the management of these patients, including no description of any rehabilitative treatments. There are significant resource shortages ranging from access to medical equipment to both skilled medical and rehabilitative staff. The findings from this study imply that the management of HNC in Africa requires a possible transdisciplinary approach to improve access to services. Health professionals also need to explore a community-based level approach to care to improve access. There needs to be more context-specific research to improve contextually relevant teaching and practice in HNC.
Mobile Health Technologies Are Essential for Reimagining the Future of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene
Authors: E. Stauber Christine , Brown Joe , Bourgeois Anu G. , Palma Fabiana , A. Spears Claire , White Cassandra , Costa Federico
Published: February 2022

The new Lancet Commission on water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) hopes to reimagine and guide global WASH efforts. This comes at a time when unequal living conditions and global disparities in response and recovery have been highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic and recent large impact trials have delivered mostly disappointing results suggesting the need for radically more effective interventions to improve global public health. We find ourselves at an inflection point in global WASH with an opportunity to build new approaches with potentially more equitable, cost-effective, and scalable solutions. Mobile health (mHealth) technology is an important and innovative tool for WASH advances. Yet, the use of mHealth has not been equally distributed in terms of its benefits nor is its impact guaranteed. In resource-constrained settings, where technology can increase inequalities, special attention should be paid to structural and systemic hierarchies during the development of mHealth programs along with the acknowledgment and understanding of how these systems can reinforce the systematic exclusion of those most vulnerable. The WASH sector needs to adapt to a future that is innovative and inclusive with a commitment to rethinking the resources needed to enhance scope and impact. We highlight urban sanitation in Brazil as a case study to demonstrate that mHealth can support and enhance publicly funded infrastructure and to help reimagine WASH for postpandemic and beyond.

Published: February 2022

Napoleonaea imperialis P. Beauv (family Lecythidaceae) commonly called Napoleon’s hat is a medicinal plant found in South-Eastern Nigeria. The rind was separated from the fruit and macerated using methanol. The crude methanol extract was partitioned to yield n-hexane fraction (7.4%), dichloromethane fraction (23.7%) and methanol fraction (68.7%). The dichloromethane fraction was chromatographed and further purified to afford two compounds whose structures were elucidated using 1H, 13C and two-dimension NMR experiments. Isolated compounds, Napoleonaside G and Napoleonaside R, were characterized as 3-O-[D-glucopyranosyl(1→2)-D-glucopyranosyl]-21,28-diangeloyloxy-24-hydroxy-olean-11,13(18)-diene and 3-O-[D-glucopyranosyl(1→4)-D-glucopyranosyl-2''-angeloyl]-21-angeloyloxy-24,28-dihydroxy-olean-11,13(18)-diene, respectively.
Magnetic resonance imaging in pulmonary hypertension: an overview of current applications and future perspectives
Authors: Lechartier Benoit , Chaouat Ari , Aubert John-David , Schwitter Juerg
Published: February 2022

Pulmonary hypertension is an heterogeneous group of diseases characterised by increased pulmonary arterial pressures which impact on the upstream right ventricle. Pulmonary hypertension can be challenging to diagnose, classify and monitor when specific therapies are applicable. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has greatly evolved in the last decades and is a promising tool to non-invasively follow pulmonary hypertension patients. CMR provides a comprehensive evaluation of the heart and is therefore the gold standard for quantification of right ventricular volumes, mass and function, which are critical for pulmonary hypertension prognosis. In addition, innovative MR techniques allow an increasingly precise evaluation of pulmonary haemodynamics and lung perfusion. This review highlights the main advantages offered by CMR in pulmonary hypertension and gives an overview of putative future applications. Although right heart catheterisation remains mandatory in the diagnostic algorithm, CMR could play an increasingly important role in the coming years in monitoring pulmonary hypertension patients.
Perceived Barriers And Facilitators To Access Mental Health Services Among Pakistani Adolescents
Authors: Nizam Hina , Masoom Ali Dr. Saima
Published: February 2022

Introduction: Mental health problems have a high rate of prevalence among adolescents in Pakistan, however, the tendency to access mental health professionals for the treatment has been low due to some barriers. The current review focuses on those barriers and identifies the relevant facilitators in reducing the barriers to enhance the well-being of adolescents. Methodology: By considering the objective of the study, the adolescents whose age ranged between 10-19 years were included, the research work done during 2012-2018 was accessed through Pub Med, Science Direct, Google Scholar and SAGE articles. The key terms mental health services, adolescents, barriers, facilitators were used to locate the articles. Result: Most prevailing barriers were found as stigmatizing belief, lack of awareness, preference for other sources and scarcity of mental health services. Social support from significant others, finding an expression for the problems, customized mental health advertisements, increased awareness about mental health and providing online services for mental health problems can facilitate for reducing reluctance in adolescents for accessing mental health help services. Discussion: Mental health awareness programs can facilitate in reducing the above-mentioned barriers. This review can make it easier to lower down the perceived barriers among adolescents which consequently encourage them to seek help they require. Recommendations for future research are further discussed.

Published: February 2022

Introduction: COVID-19 is a pandemic, which originated in 2019 and is continuing to spread with new variants. It is believed that the use of vaccines can help bring better outcomes, however, the people of Karachi have serious reservations about the vaccines because of the widespread myths.
Methodology: The data has been collected in a sample size of 550 participants to find out the correlation between the acceptances of the COVID-19 vaccine. It shows the association between exposure to the virus, administration of a vaccine, reasons behind acceptance and rejection of vaccine, and feared outcomes from May 2020 to June 2021. Results: The results show that 401 people were vaccinated while people received vaccination for better protection, and to retain their salary and travel nationally or internationally. For those who refused to get vaccinated, the majority feared that the rumor about infertility may be true while some did not consider it important. The types of rumors included planting chips, death in two years, infertility, and side effects. Some people feared side effects such as body pain, infections, and infertility. Discussion: As compared to previous researches, the strong anti-vaccine sentiments in the people of Pakistan may be reducing as more people continue to get vaccinated every day. However, there is still a need to educate the mass population about the benefits of vaccines to combat the myths and increase the ratio of the overall vaccinated population

Published: February 2022

Lesbians are a testament to sexual diversity in society, but in reality, the existence of minorities is still faced with the dilemma of norms in society. The condition occurs since people still acknowledge heteronormality or only consider heterosexual orientation deemed normal. This study was designed to describe lesbian performativity and heteronormativity in the novel Lesbian Laki-Laki (Male Lesbian) by Deojha's using the Judith Butler's theory of Queer. This study used a descriptive qualitative research method. The results showed that gender and sexual identity discourse are constructed by language and body markers. The heterosexual discourse of acceptable gender identity only involves masculinity and femininity, then sexually divided into two parts, called male and female. The analysis also proved that although the novel voiced lesbian order but still in the norms of heteronormativity

Published: February 2022

This empirical theoretical study investigates the two-way relationship between corporate social responsibility and financial performance in Indonesian businesses. The theoretical underpinning for the conceptual model is based on agency, stewardship, resource reliance, and stakeholder theory. The social behavior index is made up of four components: participation in global reporting initiatives, inclusion of Green Index firms, good compliance, Corporate Governance Recommendations, and signatories to the Global Compact. The study's findings reveal a positive relationship in both directions: social benefits and positive feedback that social policies increase financial resources. Increased financial success, on the other hand, boosts the social and economic benefits of enacting rules that encourage board-level components to seriously consider spending more money. As a result, this research motivates social behavior members to contribute globally to the betterment of society

Yesus Sang Imanuel sebagai Pembebas: Pencarian Gagasan Pembebasan dalam Injil Matius dan Implikasinya bagi Gereja di Indonesia
Authors: Surbakti Noel
Published: February 2022

Abstract: Liberation Theology once a new hope for the Third World theology. Not only for its efforts to “liberate” Third World theology from domination of West Theology, but also for its concerns of social prolems in society. Lately, there many critics come from scholars which addressed to Liberation Theology. They declared that Liberation Theology was nurtured from wrong biblical interpretation. I see that statement not completely true. Because of that, I will observe the bible to find a liberation theme in the bible. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to find liberation theme in the bible especially in Gospel of Matthew. For that, I will interpret several texts of Matthew which related to Jesus Emmanuel which become special characteristic in Gospel of Matthew. In my work, I will combine literer analysis with context historism of the first reader from Matthew (Matthean Community). It will find that Gospel of Matthew speak about liberation theme which presented by Jesus Emmanuel. Finally, liberation theme which Liberation Theology speak out actually have a biblical foundation. As its implication, churches in Indonesia also play a role as liberator because Jesus as head of churches is a liberator.
Abstrak: Teologi Pembebasan merupakan sebuah harapan baru dalam berteologi di Dunia Ketiga. Bukan hanya karena upayanya “membebaskan diri” dari pengaruh teologi Barat, tetapi juga karena upayanya dalam memperhatikan permasalahan sosial dalam masyarakat. Tetapi belakangan ini, para ahli mengkritik Teologi Pembebasan. Beberapa ahli menyatakan bahwa Teologi Pembebasan berasal dari penafsiran Alkitab yang salah. Penulis melihat pendapat tersebut tidak sepenuhnya benar. Karena itu penulis berupaya menemukan gagasan pembebasan di dalam Alkitab khususnya dalam Injil Matius. Untuk itu, penulis akan menafsirkan beberapa unit teks dalam Injil Matius yang berkaitan dengan sosok Yesus sang Imanuel yang begitu ditonjolkan dalam Injil Matius. Penafsiran tersebut memperhatikan analisis literer dan konteks historis pembaca pertama Injil Matius (komunitas Matius). Melalui kajian tersebut ditemukan bahwa Injil Matius memuat gagasan pembebasan yang diwujudkan melalui Yesus sang Imanuel. Dengan demikian gagasan pembebasan yang diusung dalam Teologi Pembebasan sesungguhnya memiliki landasan alkitabiah. Sebagai implikasinya, gereja-gereja di Indonesia juga berperan sebagai “pembebas” karena Yesus sebagai kepala gereja merupakan sosok “pembebas.”

Se evaluaron 159 pacientes de un único centro con diagnóstico de lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES) que cumplían con los criterios del Colegio Americano de Reumatología (ACR) 1982. El 79% eran de sexo femenino y su edad media al diagnóstico fue 27 años. Ochenta de ellos tuvieron compromiso renal (65/80 tuvieron proteinuria >0,5 g/24 hs; 23 mostraron edema periférico y 22 tenían cilindros en el examen de orina). En 62 pacientes hubo suficiente material en la biopsia renal para ser analizado: 26 pacientes tuvieron una glomerulonefritis (GN) tipo IV; 12 tipo V y 10 pacientes tipo III. Los pacientes fueron tratados con esteroides orales, antimaláricos, azatioprina y micofenolato mofetil. La presencia de DNAn en la primera visita fue predictor de compromiso renal cuando fueron comparados los pacientes con LES con vs. sin compromiso renal. La presencia de edema periférico y de hipertensión arterial (evaluados al momento del compromiso renal) fueron predictores de daño renal persistente. En la última visita, treinta pacientes mostraron función renal normal, sólo 3 necesitaron de diálisis y 3 trasplante renal. No se encontró asociación entre el tipo histológico (GN III-IV) y la mortalidad o la presencia de daño renal persistente.
Osteoporosis inducidapor glucocorticoides
Authors: Brance Maria Lorena , Plantalech Luisa
Published: February 2022

La osteoporosis inducida por glucocorticoides (OIG) es la segunda causa etiológica de osteoporosis luego de la posmenopáusica y la principal de las secundarias. La pérdida de masa ósea varía del 10 al 40% dependiendo del sitio examinado, la duración del tratamiento, la enfermedad de base y el glucocorticoide (GC) y la dosis utilizadas, y afecta predominantemente al hueso trabecular. El riesgo de fractura aumenta rápidamente dentro de los primeros 3 a 6 meses luego del comienzo de la terapia con GC y se mantiene en una fase lenta de pérdida ósea en tiempos prolongados de tratamiento con un mayor riesgo de fracturas vertebrales. Este riesgo revierte rápidamente al discontinuar los GC, pero permanece, sin embargo (en diferente escala), un mayor riesgo relativo de fracturas en relación con la población no expuesta.

La Revista Argentina de Reumatología, pu-blicación oficial de la Sociedad Argentina de Reumatología, ha seguido a lo largo de los años los avances de la especialidad en nuestro país y en el mundo. La revisión por pares (“peer review”), es uno de los pilares que la revista ha tenido en los últimos años edito -riales y ha sido realizada por referentes en cada tema. Para darle aún más interés y jerarquía a los trabajos publicados, consideramos apro -piado la apertura a participar a otros profe-sionales que tengan opiniones o experien-cias divergentes o que apoyen los trabajos publicados aportando una visión original o alguna información faltante y necesaria. Es por eso que evaluamos la necesidad de volver a dar impulso a las “Cartas al Editor”.
Aspects regarding the regulation of liability in the Administrative Code
Authors: Ghencea Flavia Lucia
Published: February 2022

A fundamental act for the Romanian administration was adopted in July 2019, namely the Administrative Code, which came into the legal landscape with the declared intention of contributing to the modernization of public administration, systematizing the legislation in the field and bringing more unity to the organization of law enforcement and to its concrete execution. The text transposes in a clear and unitary form, a series of already existing regulations, in separate normative acts, but also adds new legal institutions that contribute to increasing the coherence of the administrative activity. This paper aims, on the one hand, at analyzing an institution that comes as a novelty in the Romanian regulatory framework, the administrative liability, as form of liability specific to administrative law and, on the other hand, it is a brief analysis of a form of liability missing from the text of the Code, namely the ministerial liability.

Rammang-rammang District, Maros Regency, is one of the agricultural areas experiencing seawater intrusion, so many farmers leave their land idle. In the era of increasingly modern technology, now there is a combination of technological advances in the fields of agriculture and fisheries which is starting to develop, namely salin minapadi cultivation. Salin minapadi is one of the cultivation techniques that combines the cultivation of tiger prawns and rice that can live in brackish water but it is not easy because it is necessary to know whether salin minapadi is profitable and there is a possibility of developing salin minapadi faced with risks and the question of whether it is profitable. To reduce and overcome, the profit analysis method and the House of Risk (HOR) method are used. The profit analysis method is to find out how much profit the salin minapadi farmers make while the House of Risk (HOR) method is to minimize the risks that can cause problems in salin minapadi cultivation. The yield from the profit of salin minapadi is IDR 37,926,167 / Ha / MT. Identification of risk events and risk agents was carried out through interviews and observations in salin minapadi in Rammang-Rammang District. The results of this HOR analysis show that there are 10 risk causes and 6 recommended risk management methods for risk management for salin minapadi.
AVALIAÇÃO DOS FATORES ASSOCIADOS A INFECÇÕES POR ACINETOBACTER BAUMANNII EM PACIENTES IMUNODEPRIMIDOS EM UNIDADE DE TERAPIA INTENSIVA
Authors: Maria dos Santos Pessôa Jussara
Published: February 2022

Devido à crescente relevância das infecções hospitalares em UTI torna-se fundamental o conhecimento epidemiológico, seu mecanismo de resistência e as manifestações clínicas associado ao Acinetobacter baumannii. Este microrganismo é a bactéria mais recorrente nas infecções em UTI acometendo pacientes imunodeprimidos, apresentando um grave problema de saúde pública por vários casos de infecção hospitalar. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar fatores associados às frequentes infecções bacterianas por Acinetobacter baumannii em pacientes internados nas unidades de terapia intensiva. Esta revisão bibliográfica foi realizada a partir de quatro bases de dados: Medline, Lilacs, Decs e SciELO, considerando-se artigos publicados no período de 2008 a 2015, nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol. “Foram pesquisadas as palavras-chaves “infecção hospitalar”, ‘‘Acinetobacter” e "Acinetobacter baumannii". As infecções por Acinetobacter baumannii adquirida pelos pacientes internados em unidade de terapia intensiva é essencial à detecção precoce deste patógeno, de modo a adotar medidas preventivas para minimizar a disseminação bacteriana e evitar a contaminação cruzada entre os profissionais da saúde, os quais são a sua principal rota de contaminação. A incorreta intervenção determina a presença deste microrganismo no âmbito hospitalar. A infecção nosocomial pelo Acinetobacter baumannii está associada à predisposição do individuo e a submissão deste a procedimentos invasivos. Para o controle da infecção o antimicrobiano de escolha deve ser avaliado de duas formas: a resistência bacteriana na unidade hospitalar e o fármaco de escolha deve apresentar atividade intrínseca compatível com os carbapenêmicos.

Introdução: A literatura aponta que a depressão pode estar associada com um desiquilíbrio no eixo cérebro-intestino-microbiota. Objetivo: O presente estudo tem como objetivo discutir a relação entre a disbiose edepressão. Metodologia: A busca por artigos foi realizada nas  seguintesbases de dados: Pubmed, Google Acadêmico, LILACS e Scielo, publicados entre os anos de 2010 e 2021, utilizando os descritores “disbiose intestinal”, “microbiota”, “depressão”. Resultados: Foram encontrados 337 artigos, publicados entre 2012 a 2021 e utilizamos 9artigos que compõem essa revisão de literatura. Resultados: Os relatos demonstram que há uma desbalanço entre as bactérias encontradas em indivíduos saudáveis comparado com os pacientes com depressão, sugerindo que as bactérias da microbiota intestinal têm um papel no desenvolvimento e ou manutenção da depressão. Entretanto, as pesquisas se apresentam sem um padrão microbiológico característico, o qual pode ser influenciada por padrões dietéticos, étnicos ou devido a presença de co-morbidades. CONCLUSÃO: Apesar de haver fortes indícios que existe correlação entre a depressão e a disbiose, mais estudos são necessários para traçar o mecanismo completo entre estas duas condições.
