O uso de plantas medicinais para o tratamento e cura de enfermidades vem crescendo ao longo dos anos. As substâncias orgânicas encontradas na natureza, em sua grande escala, apresentam benefícios à saúde. No entanto, para descobrir as funções de cada substância orgânica, o homem faz um estudo científico, baseado em testes, na finalidade de identificar se a mesma apresenta benefícios ou malefícios à saúde. O presente trabalho teve como finalidade investigar a ação de compostos antioxidantes nos extratos das folhas da Persea americana Mill, espécie conhecida popularmente como Abacateiro. O teor de fenóis totais, determinado em relação a uma curva de calibração com ácido gálico, foi de 120,66 ± 19,90 mg de EAG/g do extrato bruto das folhas de Persea americana Mill. A quantificação de flavonoides revelou uma média de 19,14 ± 0,57 mg de equivalentes de quercetina (EQ) por grama de extrato. A atividade antioxidante foi expressa em CI50 (concentração inibitória), que foi definida como a concentração (µg mL-1) da amostra necessária para inibir a concentração inicial de DPPH em 50%. O extrato bruto das folhas de Persea americana Mill apresentou uma atividade antioxidante com IC50 de 102,32 ± 2,67 µg mL-1. Esses resultados estão de acordo com trabalhos encontrados na literatura, onde mostram a presença de ação antioxidante nas folhas do abacateiro. Concluindo assim que, as folhas de Persea americana Mill são uma fonte potencial de compostos antioxidantes.

Published: September 2024

A relação entre saúde, qualidade de vida e trabalho tem sido amplamente estudada nas últimas décadas, destacando sua importância para indivíduos e sociedade. A categoria docente, em particular, apresenta um aumento significativo de problemas de saúde e absenteísmo, associados ao exercício da profissão, incluindo questões mentais, psicológicas, ergonômicas e de estilo de vida. Recentemente, a alta prevalência de problemas de saúde mental, com destaque para o estresse, tem sido notada. A pandemia da COVID-19, iniciada no final de 2019, impôs uma rápida adaptação ao teletrabalho, afetando diretamente os processos de trabalho dos professores e potencialmente agravando o estresse ocupacional. Este estudo objetiva analisar a qualidade de vida e o estresse ocupacional dos professores da Rede Pública Municipal de Cuiabá durante o trabalho remoto imposto pela pandemia. Foi conduzido um estudo descritivo com 113 professores, utilizando questionários autoaplicáveis via Google Forms®. Os resultados mostram que a maioria dos participantes é do sexo feminino (86,73%), com idade acima de 40 anos (65,49%), casados ou vivendo com outras pessoas (61,06%) e com pós-graduação (79,65%). Em termos de qualidade de vida, os domínios "Psicológico" (68,62) e "Físico" (67,56) foram melhor avaliados, enquanto o "Meio ambiente" teve a menor pontuação (56,64). Quanto ao estresse ocupacional, 53% relataram baixa demanda, 61% baixo controle e 51% baixo apoio, com 35% classificando seu trabalho como de alto desgaste. Conclui-se que, apesar das adversidades impostas pela pandemia, os professores mantiveram bons níveis de qualidade de vida, embora enfrentando elevados estressores psicossociais.

Authors: Mota Márcia Oliveira Alves da , Freitas Leonardo Buissa
Published: September 2024

O estudo em questão aborda o papel crucial do Cerrado na garantia do direito à água potável e na segurança hídrica nacional, destacando sua relevância nos serviços ecossistêmicos, como captação e armazenamento de água, contribuindo para a formação de bacias hidrográficas e aquíferos. O texto explora a correlação entre a proteção do bioma e a asseguração dos direitos fundamentais à água potável, saúde e vida. Nota-se a omissão da Constituição Federal ao não designar o Cerrado como patrimônio nacional, contrastando com as normas do Código Florestal em detrimento da Lei n.º 11.428/06 para a Mata Atlântica. A falta de tratamento normativo adequado ao Cerrado é abordada, ressaltando a ausência de proteção suficiente, princípios de precaução e prevenção, e a necessidade de uma política pública específica para este bioma. O estudo fundamenta-se em revisão teórica, análise de jurisprudência do Supremo Tribunal Federal e do Tribunal Constitucional Federal alemão, e dados científicos recentes, construindo a conexão entre a proteção do Cerrado e a garantia dos direitos à água potável e segurança hídrica nacional.
O dramaturgo como trabalhador intelectual
Authors: Ortega Renato Florêncio Pavanelli
Published: September 2024

Este artigo explora a figura do intelectual como trabalhador no mercado, focando na visão de Bertolt Brecht. Brecht argumenta que o monopólio político-econômico do mercado sobre a arte é prejudicial à sociedade, compelindo artistas a adaptar suas obras para se manterem no mercado. Em "Notas Sobre Mahagonny", Brecht discute a renovação do teatro épico e como a arte é condicionada por interesses comerciais. "A Vida de Galileu" ilustra como o valor do trabalho intelectual é determinado pelo mercado. Brecht critica a ilusão de controle dos artistas sobre suas criações, que na verdade são dominadas pelo sistema capitalista. A pressão do mercado limita a liberdade criativa, transformando artistas em fornecedores de mercadorias. No exílio, Brecht enfrenta a tensão entre inovar e atender às demandas comerciais. Sua análise revela que a arte está sujeita às forças econômicas, destacando a necessidade de reflexão sobre a autonomia artística em um mundo dominado por interesses econômicos.

Authors: Kosztowny Konrad , Klimczak Tomasz , Kraj Tomasz , Bieguszewska Karina , Strzelczyk Janusz
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Choledocholithiasis (CCL) is one of the most common serious health consequences of cholelithiasis. For years, evacuation of stones using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been the first-line treatment. In 10–15% of cases, gallstones cannot be removed using the above-mentioned method and auxiliary methods are necessary; these are so-called difficult gallstones. Surgical treatment is sometimes necessary. The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) has recommended the use of cholangioscopy, including direct peroral cholangioscopy (DPOC), as one of the main treatment methods since 2015.Aim: The following article aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of direct cholangioscopy with laser lithotripsy in the treatment of CCL.Materials and methods: The study was conducted at the Department of General and Transplant Surgery, Medical University of Lodz. From October 2022 to November 2023, 13 procedures of difficult gallstone evacuation from the bile duct were performed using the technique of direct cholangioscopy with laser lithotripsy.Results: Thirteen cases of difficult gallstones were retrospectively analyzed. The bile duct was intubated via the ampulla of Vater using direct cholangioscopy. The bile duct was cleared of gallstones using laser lithotripsy, followed by a Dormia basket or an extraction balloon to remove stone fragments. The procedure was performed successfully in all patients. No complications were observed.Conclusions: DPOC with laser lithotripsy seems to be an effective and safe method of clearing even very large gallstones from the bile duct. The relatively low price of tools and the resulting cost reduction may allow this procedure to become more popular.

Authors: Şahin Muhammed Abdulkerim
Published: September 2024

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effect of osteoporosis education on osteoporosis knowledge level (OKL) and behavioral changes in daily life in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Patients and methods: Between May 2019 and December 2019, a total of 54 patients (34 males, 20 females; median age: 68.5 years; range, 50 to 87 years) were included in the study. We randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio, patients with PD to receive either only the brochure or in addition to this a verbal osteoporosis education. The patients were randomized into the control (n=27) and intervention groups (n=27). Seven of the patients (two in the control group and five in the intervention group) were lost to follow-up. The patients were assessed at baseline and Week 12. The primary outcomes were Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) score (0-400) and daily calcium intake (DCI). The secondary outcomes were revised 2011 osteoporosis knowledge test (rOKT) score (0-32), frequency of falls, smoking and alcohol use at Week 12. Results: The median total PASE score was 81 (range, 0 to 205) for the intervention group, compared to 61 (range, 0 to 242) for control group at Week 12. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups at Week 12, except for the medians of the frequency of falls that was significantly lower in the intervention group (p<0.05). A significant improvement from baseline was observed in the median rOKT scores (control group 16 (range, 6 to 21) to 19 (range, 11 to 25); intervention group 13 (range, 6 to 24) to 18 (range, 9 to 24); p<0.001) and DCI (control group 855 (range, 420 to 1,640) to 890 (range, 550 to 1,660); intervention group, 870 (range, 400 to 1,385) to 1,020 (range, 400 to 1,940) mg/day; p<0.01) in both groups. Also, a significant improvement in the leisure activities (PASE subgroup) was observed in the intervention group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Osteoporosis education had some positive effects in patients with PD, even when only given the brochure. With additional verbal education, more benefits can be obtained.

Authors: Kanlı Kansu
Published: September 2024

Objectives: This study aimed to examine effects of core stabilization and aerobic exercises on lumbar stabilizer muscles and diaphragm motility in individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Patients and methods: Fifty-one patients (19 males, 32 females; mean age: 32.7±8.8 years; range, 20 to 60 years) with CLBP were included in this randomized controlled trial between March 2021 and May 2022. The patients were divided into three groups: the core group, the aerobic group, and the control group. Conventional treatments (hotpack, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, ultrasound, and McKenzie exercises) were applied to all three patient groups. The core group received core stabilization exercises, and the aerobic group received aerobic exercises. The control group received only conventional treatments. Exercises were continued for six weeks. All patients were assessed through the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), and Nottingham Health Profile (NHP). Trunk flexor and extensor strength, as well as trunk flexor and back extensor endurance, was examined. Structural features of the multifidus (MF), transversus abdominis (TrA), external oblique (EO), internal oblique (IO), and diaphragm muscles, as well as diaphragm motility, were evaluated with ultrasound imaging. All measurements were repeated before and after six weeks of treatment. Results: In all groups, post-treatment values of VAS rest/activity, trunk flexor endurance, back extensor endurance, trunk flexor/extensor muscle strength, BDI, RMDQ and, NHP scores improved significantly compared to pre-treatment (p=0.001). Resting and contraction thicknesses of TrA, MF, EO, and IO muscles increased significantly in both the core (p=0.001/0.001, p=0.001/0.002, p=0.001/0.001, and p=0.001/0.001, respectively) and aerobic groups (p=0.001/0.013, p=0.002/0.020, p=0.001/0.004, and p=0.001/0.010, respectively), while the control group did not show any significant difference (p=0.229/0.064, p=0.052/0.102, p=0.069/0.449, and p=0.094/0.146, respectively). After treatment, all groups showed significant increments in end-expiratory thickness (p=0.001), end-inspiratory thickness (p=0.001), motility of diaphragm during normal breathing (control, p=0.003; core, p=0.001; aerobic, p=0.001), and deep breathing (control, p=0.007; core, p=0.001; aerobic, p=0.001). Conclusion: While aerobic and core stabilization exercises provided significant improvements in individuals with CLBP, the core stabilization group showed the best improvement in all parameters. Accordingly, the necessity of aerobic and core stabilization exercises in treatment programs comes to the fore in individuals with CLBP.

Authors: Ata Emre
Published: September 2024

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate and compare the therapeutic effectiveness of static dry needling (S-DN), dynamic dry needling (D-DN), and a combined technique (CT) for managing myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). Patients and methods: Between January 1, 2023 and April 15, 2023, a total of 38 patients (9 males, 29 females; mean age: 40.5±12.7 years; range, 22 to 63 years) with MPS who experienced neck pain for less than six months and had at least one painful myofascial trigger point in the trapezius, rhomboids, or levator scapula muscle were included in the study. The patients were divided into three groups: D-DN, S-DN, and CT. Measurements included the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), range of motion (ROM), Neck Disability Index (NDI), and the European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions 3 Level Version (EQ5D3L). All measurements were made at baseline (T0), after the first treatment session (T1), after the final session (T2), and one-month post-treatment (T3). Results: The group treated with S-DN showed less significant improvement in ROM scores compared to other treatment methods. Both the D-DN and S-DN groups showed decreased VAS scores at rest and during motion across all time points, compared to the CT group. The NDI scores decreased in all groups, while the EQ5D3L scores exhibited no variations between groups or across any time point irrespective of the treatment method employed. Conclusion: Our study results suggest that all three methods are effective in treating MPS, with D-DN potentially being the preferred method over S-DN and CT due to its time efficiency.

Authors: Koldaş Doğan Şebnem
Published: September 2024

Stroke is the second most common cause of mortality and disability worldwide. Most of the patients cannot regain their walking ability after a stroke. Impaired gait and mobility negatively affect the activities of daily living and quality of life of stroke survivors. Restoring gait and mobility are the most important targets of the rehabilitation approaches. Advances in computers and engineering have enabled robotics to be used in many areas of rehabilitation medicine. One of them is gait training. High-intensity, repetitive task training is crucial for neural plasticity and motor learning. Robot-assisted gait training may be a promising method leading to functional recovery in patients with stroke. In this review, the efficacy of robot-assisted gait training in stroke rehabilitation is discussed in light of current literature.

A presente revisão sistemática (RS) valida a importância sobre o conhecimento da dor em pacientes com fibromialgia, visto que essa é uma doença crônica e seu controle é essencial para garantir qualidade de vida a esses pacientes, uma vez que pode resultar em prejuízos em diversas áreas da vida do indivíduo. Nesse sentido, pode-se ressaltar o desconhecimento da etiologia da doença e a inexistência de um  tratamento específico. Diante disso, mostra-se válida a investigação multidisciplinar da doença, visto que ela pode desencadear diversos sintomas incapacitantes. Nessa RS, portanto, objetivou-se demonstrar mais uma forma de tratamento para a fibromialgia, isto é, por meio do uso de canabinóides e os desdobramentos dos efeitos por eles provocados. Isso objetivando, realizou-se uma revisão da literatura em busca de ensaios clínicos sobre tal temática, com inclusão de retrospectos experimentais de recuperação e análise crítica da literatura nos bancos de dados MEDLINE, LILACS, EMBASE, COCHRANE, BVS, CAPES e SCIELO. Delimitou-se o corte temporal de 2019 até 2024. Foram utilizados os descritores “fibromialgia”, “canabidiol”, “cannabis”, “dor crônica” e “dor” para exclusão de artigos que não abordam a temática de interesse dos autores. Foram selecionados 86 artigos e após análise do resumo foram excluídos 82 artigos, devido os seguintes motivos: duplicatas, títulos não conformes aos critérios de seleção. Foram incluídos 4 artigos de apoio para fortalecimento do embasamento teórico e da discussão.  Espera-se com este trabalho de conclusão do curso em medicina contribuir para o enriquecimento da compreensão acerca da dor em pacientes com fibromialgia, em específico, seu tratamento com uso de canabinoides como uma alternativa, dessa forma buscando a ampliação dos conhecimentos médicos na área de assistência à saúde e visualização do paciente como um todo.

Sleep is crucial for health and strengthens the immune system, aiding the body in fighting diseases. Research indicates that adequate and quality sleep enhances vaccine efficacy by boosting immune responses, increasing antibody production, and preventing the spread of pathogens. To understand the role and mechanism of sleep in vaccine effectiveness, we searched and screened over 2,000 open-access articles on PubMed and Scopus using relevant keywords following the PRISMA guidelines. Results showed that 7 or more hours of sleep each night increase antibody titers and improve vaccine efficacy and immune memory. Thus, it is essential to focus on enhancing sleep quality and provide appropriate recommendations in vaccination strategies to help care for, protect health, and control epidemics in the community
Anatomising the Chinese State and Theorising It in Policymaking
Authors: Wu Jian
Published: September 2024

Abstract: Conceptualising the contemporary Chinese state remains problematic due to its authoritarian attributes, its inextricable Party-state structure and its position within a political system that places emphasis on the normative and discursive aspects of a one-man/strongman rule. By highlighting pertinent aspects of the governance literature and utilising concept analysis and synthesis, this study proposes a novel "strategic-relational meta-governance" framework to anatomise and theorise the Chinese state. This framework acknowledges top-down meta-governance emanating from the paramount leader, the Party and the central government, with strategic relationships that vary according to historical and political contingencies, and the interactive relationships between different ministries and provincial governments. These actors collectively constitute the Chinese state, encompassing unitary elements from meta-governance and the agential selectivity derived from the strategic-relational interactions among them.
Guided Participation in Markets: A Study of Paired Assistance in Poverty Alleviation in China
Authors: Ye Jing , Kuang Yu
Published: September 2024

Abstract: Poverty alleviation in China has achieved great success. The principle of paired assistance, one of the various strategies available to help poor regions and people, gives a rich region or sector the responsibility to help one or several poor regions with its resources. Why has China insisted on the use of paired assistance when the central government is financially dominant? Through text analysis of relevant newspaper reports, this article shows that the central government has used paired assistance to help less developed regions become more capable of establishing and therefore participating in markets by mobilising and guiding assistance from wealthy regions.

Introduction: During pregnancy and childbirth, HIV (the virus that causes AIDS), as well as syphilis and hepatitis B, can be transmitted to the fetus. HIV can also be transmitted during breastfeeding. Aim: The aim of this study was to identify the evidence on prophylactic measures against vertical transmission of HIV between the pregnant woman and the fetus. Material and Methods: The methodology used was a literature review. The research was carried out through an electronic search of scientific articles published on the Scielo (Scientific Electronic Library Online) and Lilacs (Latin American Health Sciences Literature) and Pubmed websites. Results: Cases of HIV-positive pregnant women are increasing every year. This is a consequence of the recent increase in the number of people contracting the HIV virus. Even with all the progress that science has made over the last few decades, cases of mother-to-child transmission of HIV still occur. A few years ago, if a pregnant woman was carrying the virus, her unborn child would inevitably have it. Nowadays, with technology and new procedures performed on pregnant women, the fetus has the possibility of being born free of contamination and having a normal life, which is why early diagnosis and treatment are so important for the health of the newborn. Conclusion: Early treatment in the prenatal period ensures that the child is completely safe. Among the procedures are, at the time of delivery, clearing the newborn's airways so that the mother's fluids do not enter the baby's body. With prenatal diagnosis, early treatment can be started, which can reduce the vertical transmission of HIV and other STIs from mother to fetus, guaranteeing a completely healthy pregnancy and birth.

Snakehead fishes are widely consumed throughout India because of their good taste of meat and high nutrient values. Parasitic infection constitutes significant economic loss in fish production. The present study deals with histopathological Study of Cestode parasites in Channa punctatus from Sagar region of Madhya Pradesh. Such type of study has been not conducted in this region.
Cestode lives in a very hazardous environment as there is continuous movement of the gut lining, and causes severe damage to the overall health of fishes. Hematology plays a crucial role in diagnosis of fish diseases.  In the presented study, a total of 150 individuals of Channa punctatus were examined. A total 45 were found to be infected with cestodes parasites, during the period from February 2022 to January 2024. The histopathology of the infected tissues indicated the following interface: tissue damage and infected liver showed degeneration of hepatocytes as well as cytoplasmic vacuolation, nuclear alterations and necrosis. Parasite derives nutritive material required for growth, from host tissue by causing damage to it. Blood parameters are useful for the measurement of hematological disturbances in parasitized fishes and provide information about the disorders in the host. So, the present investigation was carried out to study the effects of parasites on the blood cells of a freshwater fish, Channa punctatus. The hematological manifestation of the infected Channa punctatus (host) showed remarkable decrease in red blood cells (RBC), increased white blood cells (WBC) and it is found that neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils of infected fishes were remarkably reduced, and hemoglobin content were also significantly reduced compared to uninfected fishes. Infected fishes showed symptoms like anemia.

Based on literature sources and observations of authors after individually marked cranes of several species, cases of changing partners in pairs are described. This takes place mostly in cases of death or disappearance of a partner, and it may also depend on breeding success of pairs. In unsuccessful pairs, crane partners can be changed frequently, sometimes yearly. The change of partners happens not only during the non-breeding period, but also during the breeding season in cases of loss or eviction of a weaker bird. If a partner is lost during the rearing of chicks, a new one may appear in the family; however, it does not participate in feeding the chicks, but defends both the family and territory. Obtaining of a new partner can occur several days, months or years after the loss of the former one, and males find a new partner faster than females. In areas with dense populations of cranes, males are more likely than females to retain their territory after the disappearance of a partner. Formation of pairs in young cranes begins before their puberty. During this period, they can change partners several times over the course of three to five years, before breeding begins.

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo analizar los aportes que las cocineras tradicionales de Tabasco hacen a la identidad gastronómica y cultural local. Es un estudio cualitativo de corte transversal y de alcance exploratorio descriptivo. La técnica utilizada fue la historia de vida. La unidad de análisis fueron cuatro cocineras de la agrupación Cocineras tradicionales de Tabasco A.C., elegidas como integrantes del colectivo. El respaldo teórico se basa en la teoría de las representaciones sociales la cual suma las significaciones individuales para obtener una representación colectiva. Entre los hallazgos está que las féminas son las que tienen el sentido de preservación de los platillos heredados por sus antecesoras, como madres y abuelas, porque cada receta debe ser ejecutada con el mayor apego de la enseñanza dada. También se asumen como las guardianas de esta tradición culinaria, por lo cual deben ejercer dicha función, llevarla a la práctica para que así contribuyan a la identidad gastronómica y cultural de su lugar de origen. Se sugiere que haya vínculos mayores entre las cocineras tradicionales. Entre las líneas pendientes de esta investigación está la continuidad del estudio con más historias de vida y la recolección de recetas, así como de las prácticas cotidianas que ejercen dichas mujeres.

The 2018 General Education Curriculum identifies experience and career-oriented as compulsory educational activities carried out from grade one to grade twelve. These activities replace extracurricular activities, but with changes in name, objectives, content, methods, and regulations for testing and evaluating outcomes. This raises the question of what measures teacher training institutions need to take to develop the competency of organizing experiential activities for pre-service teachers, ensuring they meet practical requirements immediately after graduation. By examining curriculum documents and drawing on practical research results, this article proposes measures to develop the competency of organizing experiential activities for pre-service teachers during their training. The proposed measures emphasize integrating and embedding the development of this competency through the teaching of specialized subjects, pedagogical subjects, and Youth Union activities. Keywords: Experiential activities; competency in organizing experiential activities; competency development; pre-service teachers.
