Authors:   Department of Medical Laboratory Technology, College of Medical Technology, The Islamic University, Najaf, Iraq., Al-Haidary Thar Muhyalldin
Published: January 2025

Background: Anolin, also known as wool wax, is an oily product secreted by the sebaceous glands beneath the skin of sheep. It possesses anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and skin-protecting properties, making it a potential agent for treating skin conditions, such as eczema.
Objectives: This study evaluates the healing efficacy of lanolin in an experimental model of eczema induced in albino rats. The primary objective of this study is to assess the potent healing role of lanolin compared to glycerin in the treatment of acetone-induced eczema in albino rats. Specific aims include evaluating histopathological changes and measuring the reduction in inflammatory cells in the treated skin.
Methods: A total of 48 mature albino rats (weighing 250-350 g) were randomly assigned to two groups, namely a control group and an eczema group induced by applying 99.9% pure acetone to shaved skin using cotton swabs. After three days of acetone application, the eczema group was further divided into two equal subgroups (16 rats each), treated with either glycerin or lanolin. After 24 h, five rats from each subgroup were sacrificed for initial assessment. The remaining rats continued their respective treatments for an additional 72 h before being sacrificed on the third day. Histopathological analysis was conducted to compare tissue sections of eczematous skin with control sections, focusing on changes in the epidermal layer, the presence of fissures and cracks, aggregation of inflammatory cells, keratinization, and skin color changes.
Results: Histopathological examination revealed significant changes in the eczematous skin compared to control sections. These included noticeable thickening and elongation of the outermost skin layer, fissures, cracks in the epidermal layer due to skin dryness, and an aggregation of inflammatory cells. Additionally, keratinization of the epithelial layer and changes in skin color were observed. After 72 h of treatment, the lanolin group exhibited optimal healing effects compared to the glycerin group. The outermost layer of the skin returned to its normal length, and there was a marked decrease in the number of inflammatory cells in the lanolin-treated group.
Conclusion: Lanolin has a superior healing effect compared to glycerin in the treatment of acetone-induced eczema in albino rats. Lanolin effectively restored the skin’s outermost layer to its normal length and significantly reduced the number of inflammatory cells, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic agent for eczema.

The study aims to optimize conditions for complex formation, validate the method's linearity, sensitivity, and accuracy, and apply the procedure to pharmaceutical samples.
Methods: The absorbance of doxycycline was measured at 528 nm. The ideal conditions for product formation were systematically studied, including the type and volume of dye, the effects of acid and base, temperature, time, and solvent choice. The method’s linearity was evaluated within the range of 5-45 µg/mL, adhering to Beer-Lambert’s law. Sensitivity was determined using Sandell’s sensitivity; meanwhile, the molar absorptivity (ε) coefficient was calculated. The limits of detection and quantification were also determined. The accuracy and precision of the method were assessed using the percentage recovery and the relative standard deviation. The procedure was applied to the estimation of doxycycline in its pharmaceutical form using direct and standard additive methods.
Results: The developed spectrophotometric method demonstrated an absorbance peak for doxycycline at 528 nm. The linearity of the method was established between 5-45 µg/mL, with Sandell’s sensitivity calculated at 0.0625 µg/cm². The molar absorptivity (ε) coefficient was determined at 7.110×10³ L/mol·cm. The limits of detection and quantification were 0.07950 µg/mL and 0.29573 µg/mL, respectively. The percentage recovery ranged from 95.250% to 99.250%, and the relative standard deviation did not exceed 0.4194. The procedure was successfully applied to estimate doxycycline in its pharmaceutical form by the direct method and the standard additive method, confirming the method’s reliability and accuracy.
Conclusion: A reliable and straightforward spectrophotometric method was successfully developed to estimate doxycycline using bromothymol blue. The method showed good accuracy, precision, and linearity within a 5–45 µg/mL concentration range. It was effectively applied to pharmaceutical formulations, demonstrating high recovery rates and compatibility, confirming its utility for quality control purposes in pharmaceutical analysis.

Objectives: Aging and the increasing elderly population in the 21st century has become a global phenomenon, with Iran experiencing a more rapid increase than many other countries. Transferring a parent to a nursing home is a challenging process for caregivers. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a model explaining the process of adapting to parental placement in a nursing home.
Materials and Methods: This qualitative research utilized grounded theory. The participants were 13 individuals who had placed their parents in a nursing home. Purposeful sampling was used, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews, continuing until theoretical saturation was achieved. Data analysis employed Corbin and Strauss's three-stage coding process: open, axial, and selective coding.
Findings: The main variable identified was "A challenging path and an expedient decision toward peace and stability." The general pattern included 64 initial codes, which were refined into 19 core components during the coding stages. Causal factors encompassed the caregiver's inability to meet the needs of the elderly parent and the child's perception of the parent's ongoing suffering. The underlying factors influencing the formation of the main variable included cultural and religious barriers, caregiver's insecure attachment, and physical, psychological, and financial limitations. Elements such as the parent's unconventional and inconsistent behaviors, the burden of caregiving-related injuries, lack of sibling responsibility in caregiving, family consensus on transferring the elderly, the elderly parent's consent to the transfer, fear of inadequate acceptance and care for the elderly parent, and difficulties and conflicts during the transfer process were identified as both facilitators and inhibitors.To address these challenges, participants employed strategies such as ensuring the maintenance and improvement of the parent's health, obtaining approval of the transfer from others, committing to maintaining continuous relationships with the elderly, and engaging in positive self-talk. The outcomes of this phenomenon included satisfaction for both the elderly and caregivers regarding the transfer, improvement in the elderly's condition post-transfer, and the persistence of internal conflicts within the caregiver due to the transfer.
Conclusion: The decision to place a parent in a nursing home is a challenging path with both positive and negative consequences. The findings of this research can assist counselors, psychologists, and therapists in geriatrics by making the decision to place a parent in a nursing home more rational and facilitating the caregivers' process. Ultimately, this can lead to better adaptation and greater peace and stability for the family.

Published: January 2025

Public authorities, transport agencies and private operators need to work together to continuously improve the performance of public transport. Any transportation company must use a systemic survey-based approach that critically analyses client requirements in order to assess its success. Using the SERVQUAL model, an effort is made to gain a better knowledge of passenger attitude and satisfaction with the services offered by the public bus transportation system (MSRTC) and private sector is presented. Furthermore, the integrated framework of this study can enhance public transport performance and give customer satisfaction. For the present study purpose, descriptive research has been designed to fulfill the objectives with data collection from different sources and to know customers satisfaction from the services given by Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation. The questions are developed as to get responses specific to objectives that are proposed to fulfill. For the purpose of the analysis, primary data was collected directly from the passengers. The collected primary data was analysed by percentage method. Broadly we had relied on two sources of information for the present study that is primary and secondary sources of information. Consequently, we relied mostly on research papers and study articles published in the various journals and information available on the internet. Secondary data has been collected from the many administrative officers of MSRTC. This information has been classified by using various techniques of analysis. Primary data has been collected with the help of structured questionnaire for passengers. The main purpose of these questionnaires was to get feedback about services provided by MSRTC. In brief, for the study purpose, survey method was used for the collection of primary data with the help of a questionnaire. The questionnaire was administered to the individual of the selected sample and their responses about themselves have been recorded. The questions were made under nominal and ordinal scales also we used a structured and a non-disguise questionnaire. Before giving out the survey to customers, we conducted a pilot test of 150 surveys, testing to see how it went and allowed it to run for two weeks. The reason for this was to see how easy it was for the respondents to answer the questions in the survey. The results of this turned out to be that most of the customers in Amravati region could easily answer. A comparative analysis is done between MSRTC and private bus transport services. The analysis is done by based on three key parameters and each parameter has three specific facilities in them.

ANALISIS KUAT LENTUR BALOK BETON GGBFS BERTULANG BAMBU
Authors: Maulana Endra , Chalid Abdul
Published: January 2025

Steel is a non-renewable resource, and its increasing scarcity raises construction costs. Bamboo, a natural and renewable material, presents an alternative. Research on bamboo-reinforced concrete shows that bamboo’s potential strength is yet to be fully realized. To improve bamboo-reinforced concrete performance, treatments are needed to enhance adhesion between bamboo and concrete and to strengthen the composite material. The addition of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) aims to increase the strength of bamboo-reinforced concrete. This research explores the flexural strength differences between bamboo-reinforced GGBFS concrete beams and steel-reinforced GGBFS concrete beams, identifying the optimal GGBFS mixture composition for bamboo-reinforced beams. Using an experimental method, bending tests are conducted following SNI 4431:2011 standards. The variable tested is the compressive strength with GGBFS and bamboo reinforcement added. Both types of concrete undergo flexural strength testing. Results indicate that steel-reinforced beams are generally stronger, but bamboo-reinforced beams with a 30% GGBFS mixture achieve a strength of 2.64 MPa, nearly matching steel-reinforced beams at 2.66 MPa (99.73% of the steel strength). This finding suggests that a 30% GGBFS mixture can make bamboo-reinforced beams a viable alternative to steel in concrete construction.

Published: January 2025

Background: Physical, sensory, and social barriers in cultural art spaces affect participation and must be addressed to experience maximum access and enjoyment. Occupational therapy can help overcome these obstacles by supporting staff education through Universal Design for Learning (UDL) frameworks.

Methods: This study measured the effectiveness of an occupational therapy-based training that focused on improving museum staff’s confidence and competence in implementing UDL principles in presentations at a science museum. Data were collected via pre-test and post-test surveys, and data were analyzed using SPSS.

Results: Museum staff demonstrated an increased understanding of UDL principles, greater confidence when presenting to neurodivergent populations, and enhanced their ability to support access and inclusion for people with disabilities. Post-survey results indicated a statistically significant (p< 0.05) shift in the staff perspectives on the importance of UDL, increased confidence in supporting access and inclusion, and improved understanding of how visual resources support access and inclusion for visitors.

Conclusion: Occupational therapy consultation is important in cultural art spaces to address barriers and increase meaningful participation for all. The findings emphasize the need for UDL and disability-related education for staff, suggesting that providing clear language and frameworks can significantly support and enhance inclusion efforts.

The UK Breast Cancer in Pregnancy (UKBCiP) Study. Incidence, diagnosis, management and short-term outcomes of breast cancer first diagnosed during pregnancy in the United Kingdom: A population-based descriptive study
Authors: Hardy Claudia , Brand Andrew , Jones Julie , Knight Marian , Banfield Philip
Published: January 2025

Background The incidence of breast cancer first arising during pregnancy has been estimated in several countries to be 2.4-7.8/100,000 births, but has not been established in the United Kingdom (UK). We aimed to estimate the incidence of breast cancer diagnosed during pregnancy in the UK and to describe its management and short-term outcomes for mothers and babies. Methods This population-based descriptive study used the UK Obstetric Surveillance System (UKOSS). Cases were prospectively identified through monthly UKOSS mailings to all UK consultant-led maternity units. All cases of breast cancer diagnosed first during pregnancy, between October 1, 2015, and September 30, 2017, were eligible, with 84 confirmed cases analysed. Women with breast cancer diagnosed before pregnancy or with a recurrence were excluded. The primary outcomes were the incidence of breast cancer first diagnosed during pregnancy, maternal mortality, severe maternal morbidity, perinatal mortality, and severe neonatal morbidity. Results The incidence was 5.4/100,000 maternities (95% CI 4.37, 6.70). Nine women (11%) had undergone in vitro fertilisation (IVF), compared with a contemporaneously estimated 2.6% IVF pregnancies in the UK. During pregnancy, 30 women (36%) underwent surgery and 37 (44%) received chemotherapy. Three women had major maternal morbidity during pregnancy. Two women died and two perinatal deaths occurred. Conclusions The incidence of breast cancer arising in pregnancy in the UK is similar to that reported elsewhere. The higher proportion of IVF pregnancies among affected women needs further investigation, as it may not be entirely explained by relatively advanced maternal age. With caveats, management followed that outside pregnancy, but there was considerable variation in practice. Although short-term outcomes were generally good for mothers and babies, a larger prospective study is required. Iatrogenic pre-term delivery and its associated risks to the infant can often be avoided; treatment was administered during pregnancy without evidence of harms to the infant.
Sosiaali- ja terveyspalvelut Suomessa asuvien venäjänkielisten vammaisten lasten äitien näkökulmasta
Authors: Heino Eveliina Maria , Kulmala Meri
Published: January 2025

Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan venäjänkielisten vammaisten lasten äitien kuvauksia sosiaali- ja terveyspalveluiden saavutettavuudesta Suomessa. Tutkimusaineisto koostuu kuuden äidin haastatteluista, joita olemme analysoineet temaattisen analyysin keinoin saavutettavuuden näkökulmasta. Tutkimustulosten mukaan sosiaali- ja terveyspalveluiden saavutettavuudessa on suuria ongelmia. Institutionaalisen saavutettavuuden ongelmien kuvattiin johtuvan siitä, että palveluiden saamisessa kestää hyvin pitkään ja että julkiset palvelut ovat riittämättömiä. Informatiivinen saavutettavuus näyttäytyi myös ongelmallisena, sen vuoksi, että palvelutieto on hyvin sattumanvaraista ja järjestelmä on eriytynyt. Kokemuksellisen saavutettavuuden ongelmat tulivat ilmi siinä, että palveluiden saaminen vie äideiltä kohtuuttoman määrän resursseja ja että äidit kokivat jäävänsä yksin. Kielellisen saavutettavuuden ongelmat nousivat läpileikkaavasti keskeisiksi. Ne sisälsivät tulkkaukseen, vieraskielisyyden huomiotta jättämiseen ja emotionaalisen tuen puutteeseen liittyviä haasteita sosiaali- ja terveyspalveluissa.
 
Interviews with Russian-speaking mothers who have children with disabilities are examined in this article. The focus is on mothers’ descriptions regarding the accessibility of social and health services. The data consists of interviews with six mothers, which have been analysed using thematic analysis. It shows that major problems exist with the accessibility of social and health services. Institutional accessibility is perceived as difficult because of the very long waiting periods to access services and the inadequacy of public services. Informative accessibility is also described as problematic, as service information is random and the service system is fragmented. Problems with experiential accessibility include experiences where a huge amount of resources have been required for mothers to access services. In addition, mothers felt that they were left alone without support. The problems of linguistic accessibility emerged as a central and cross-cutting theme, including challenges related to interpretation and an inadequate consideration of multilingualism in social and health services.

Authors: PAN I-Ju , Kao Hui-Tzu , Liu Yi-Hui
Published: January 2025

Background: Preterm infants, defined as those born between 20 and 36 weeks of gestation or weighing less than 2500 grams, present unique challenges for their parents. The increasing rate of preterm births in Taiwan, influenced by factors such as delayed childbearing and the use of assisted reproductive technologies, necessitates a deeper understanding of parental stress and anxiety during NICU hospitalization.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the levels of parental stress and anxiety experienced by parents of preterm infants during their hospitalization period in the NICU.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 104 parents of preterm infants admitted to the NICU of a medical center in southern Taiwan. Data were collected using the Parental Stress Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (PSS: NICU) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI).

Results: The study found significant correlations between parental stress and complications in preterm infants, such as intraventricular hemorrhage (t = 1.032, p = 0.000) and infections (t = 2.606, p = 0.010). Marital status (F = 3.975, p = 0.021), education level (F = 3.821, p = 0.006), and occupation (F = 2.298, p = 0.007) were significantly associated with stress levels. Mothers exhibited higher trait anxiety than fathers, influenced by cultural and postpartum factors.

Conclusion: The findings highlight the need for healthcare providers to address both the medical and psychological needs of parents during their infant's NICU stay. By providing support, clear communication, and opportunities for parental involvement, healthcare professionals can help reduce parental stress and anxiety, improving outcomes for both parents and their preterm infants.

Cataract is a public health problem in post-conflict underdeveloped countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the astigmatism induced is an economic burden for this same population. The aim of this study is to contribute to improving the management of cataract surgery patients.

This is a descriptive, longitudinal, analytical study, which included 330 eyes of 238 adult patients aged 50 or over. Study variables: gender, age, type of procedure, eye involved, history, axial length, astigmatism, visual acuity, implant power, tunnel size, limbus distance, type of procedure (phacoalternative: PHACO A, phacoemulsification: PHACO E). Percentage, mean, standard deviation, Ficher's exact test, Chi-square, relative risk and 95% confidence interval were calculated.

Patients aged between 70 and 79 years predominated (37%), with a sex ratio of 1.4 men. The mean value of surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) at D1 (DAY 1) was 1.9±1.8 D. And 57.6% of cases had an induced astigmatism < 1.7 D. For phacoemulsification at D30: 73.8% of cases had a mean surgically induced astigmatism < 1.7 D. And for phacoalternative at D30: 50.2% of cases had mean surgically induced astigmatism ≥ 1.7 D; and at D90 phacoalternative: 63.2% of patients had mean <1.8 D astigmatism.

Induced astigmatism is an element influencing the functional outcome of cataract surgery, Induced astigmatism proves low in the majority of cases; although our functional results without correction remain below the threshold set by the World Health Organization.

Published: January 2025

Carotid occlusive disease generated by the atheromatous process is responsible for transient or permanent ischemic stroke. Most ischemic attacks occur in the territory of the middle cerebral artery. Occlusions of the carotid axis are manifested by general ocular and cerebral signs. Management of carotid obstruction requires: control of risk factors, drug treatment (antihypertensive, statins, anticoagulant), surgical treatment if necessary.

Vertebrobasilar ischemia is accompanied by vestibular symptoms (vertigo), dizziness, vomiting, visual symptoms, less often, headache, mental confusion, dysarthria, tinnitus. Thrombosis of the cavernous sinus can be produced by the spread of infection from infectious foci of the cephalic extremity and is manifested by signs of generalized sepsis and inflammatory eye signs, initially unilateral that become bilateral.

Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a percepção a respeito do descarte de escovas de dentes manuais de plástico e noções de práticas sustentáveis relacionadas ao uso de dispositivos alternativos como a escova de bambu. Para isso, foi aplicado um questionário estruturado a 120 pacientes e acompanhantes da Faculdade de Odontologia de Araçatuba (FOA-UNESP). Os resultados revelaram que 67,5% dos participantes descartam imediatamente suas escovas, com 98,3% dos descartes ocorridos no lixo comum, demonstrando baixo conhecimento sobre os danos ambientais gerados por esses produtos. Além disso, nenhum entrevistado usava escovas de bambu, e cerca de 80% desconheciam sua existência. Fatores como nível de escolaridade, renda familiar e gênero tiveram influência significativa nas práticas e percepções sobre o consumo sustentável. Portanto, é possível concluir que esses resultados reforçam a necessidade de campanhas educativas que promovam a conscientização ambiental, bem como a adoção de práticas adequadas de descarte e reutilização desses materiais, contribuindo para a mitigação dos impactos ambientais associados ao uso desses produtos odontológicos.

O estudo teve como objetivo analisar o perfil epidemiológico dos acidentes causados por animais peçonhentos na região Nordeste do Brasil entre 2018 e 2022. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, retrospectivo, com abordagem quantitativa, utilizando dados do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN), acessados via DATASUS. Foram analisadas variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas, como faixa etária, sexo, tipo de animal envolvido, tempo de atendimento e evolução dos casos. Os resultados evidenciaram 475.409 notificações no período, com destaque para os estados da Bahia (27,25%) e Pernambuco (22,28%), enquanto Sergipe apresentou o menor número de registros (2,67%). A maior incidência foi observada em adultos de 20 a 59 anos e em áreas rurais, associada às atividades agrícolas. Escorpiões foram responsáveis pela maioria dos casos (62,63%), seguidos por serpentes e abelhas, variando entre estados. A maior parte das vítimas recebeu atendimento em até 3 horas, com destaque para Alagoas, que apresentou os melhores indicadores. Houve sazonalidade nos registros, com picos nos meses mais quentes e chuvosos. A maioria dos casos foi classificada como leve (83,19%) e a evolução predominante foi para cura (87,36%). Conclui-se que os acidentes com animais peçonhentos na região Nordeste são influenciados por fatores climáticos, socioeconômicos e ambientais. A implementação de políticas públicas voltadas à prevenção, educação em saúde e melhoria do acesso ao atendimento médico é essencial para reduzir a morbidade e mortalidade associadas a esses acidentes.

A impressão 3D de alimentos é uma tecnologia inovadora com potencial para transformar a fabricação de alimentos, permitindo a criação de produtos personalizados e sustentáveis. Este trabalho teve por objetivo fazer uma revisão de literatura sobre a aplicação da impressão 3D na produção de alimentos, abordando avanços científicos e tecnológicos. Utilizando técnicas como extrusão, jato de tinta e sinterização seletiva a laser, é possível produzir alimentos a partir de proteínas, carboidratos e lipídios. Esses nutrientes desempenham um papel crucial na formulação dos alimentos impressos, influenciando propriedades como textura, viscosidade e estabilidade, impactando diretamente na qualidade final dos produtos. Embora as diversas vantagens, como a personalização e a redução de desperdícios, ainda há desafios significativos. Entre os principais estão a complexidade técnica, o alto custo dos equipamentos e a limitada aceitação pública, devido ao desconhecimento dos benefícios da impressão 3D. Somado a isso, questões de segurança alimentar, padronização dos processos e escalabilidade precisam ser resolvidas para que a tecnologia seja amplamente adotada. A técnica de extrusão tem sido amplamente utilizada devido à sua flexibilidade no manuseio de formulações viscoelásticas. No entanto, é necessário estudar outras técnicas para a produção de alimentos, como estereolitografia e sinterização seletiva a laser, para ampliar as possibilidades de aplicação, especialmente na criação de alimentos com geometrias complexas ou propriedades nutricionais específicas. Conclui-se que, apesar das limitações atuais, a impressão 3D tem potencial para revolucionar a produção alimentícia, permitindo a criação de produtos que atendam às demandas nutricionais e sensoriais dos consumidores modernos.

Cada vez mais a área da alimentação está em alta na multidisciplinaridade dos estudos científicos, de forma a desenvolver atividades de aprimoramento profissional, e isso em todas as fases da produção de alimentos, do atendimento ao cliente à criação de novos produtos, onde a inteligência artificial (IA) está revolucionando e exigindo a atualização desses profissionais de forma a cobrir as necessidades de mercado atual. Esse artigo tem o objetivo de realizar uma revisão bibliográfica exploratória como técnica de coleta de dados, numa investigação sobre a inteligência artificial (IA) aplicada no setor de alimentos e bebidas, enfatizando as possibilidades que são oferecidas pela inteligência artificial atualmente, sua importância, os benefícios e as dificuldades de sua implantação, englobando da produção até os serviços aos consumidores. A pesquisa foi realizada na base de dados da plataforma Web of Science da Thomson Reuters e, publicadas em âmbito internacional. Foram encontrados 24 artigos, dos quais 4 deles estavam alinhados ao objeto de estudo e merecem destaque por demonstrarem ferramentas de possibilidades da IA ligadas ao tema em questão. Percebeu-se com a investigação que a descoberta e aplicação de técnicas de inteligência artificial na área de alimentos e bebidas, tanto em sua produção, como nos serviços aos consumidores, obtém melhores resultados e uma excelência na agilidade nos produtos e serviços. Porém, há ainda atualmente, dificuldades de aplicação dessas IA’s por inabilidades dos profissionais, necessitando uma maior capacitação na área em questão, além de rejeição de uso de alguns produtores e consumidores.

O serviço de Acompanhamento Farmacoterapêutico (AF) atua na detecção, prevenção e resolução de Problemas Relacionados ao uso de Medicamentos (PRM). Esse estudo objetiva avaliar o impacto do serviço de AF em idosos com diabetes e/ou hipertensão arterial atendidos em uma Farmácia Básica de Diamantina. Esse estudo é longitudinal, com avaliação antes e depois. Para o estudo foram realizadas consultas farmacêuticas com pessoas acima de 60 anos, ambos os sexos, portadores de Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (HAS) e/ou Diabetes Mellitus (DM), usuários de três ou mais medicamentos de uso contínuos e que tinham três ou mais consultas farmacêuticas no intervalo estudado. Participaram 30 pacientes, a média de idade foi de 69,7 anos, 56,7% eram mulheres, 97% hipertensos e 50% diabéticos. Cerca de 80% utilizavam entre 5 e 10 medicamentos. Foram realizadas 136 consultas farmacêuticas. Houve um aumento percentual de 10% no número de pacientes com a pressão arterial sistólica controlada. Foram solucionados 82,4% dos 68 (PRM), sendo o mais frequente o de “não adesão medicamentosa”. Dos 42 Resultados Negativos associados aos Medicamentos (RNM), 85,7% foram solucionados sendo que a “inefetividade quantitativa” correspondeu a 50% dos casos. Foram realizadas 107 intervenções farmacêuticas, sendo a “educação em saúde” a mais frequente. Os PRM e RNM detectados foram, em sua maioria, solucionados por intervenções realizadas pelo farmacêutico, mostrando sua importância na educação em saúde nos cuidados aos idosos na atenção primária.

O pão é um dos alimentos milenares mais consumidos no mundo, possuindo grande importância na alimentação humana. Dessa forma, este estudo objetivou analisar aspectos sensoriais, índices de aceitação, teste de comparação pareada e intenção de compra entre os pães produzidos a partir de fermentação biológica e natural. Trata-se de pesquisa aplicada, quantitativa, explicativa e experimental, realizada entre outubro e dezembro de 2023. O teste de aceitação sensorial foi conduzido com 99 provadores não treinados, por meio de escala hedônica estruturada de nove pontos. Os atributos considerados incluíram: aparência; textura; sabor; acidez; aroma e crocância, enquanto uma escala de cinco pontos foi aplicada para obter a intenção de compra. A caracterização do grupo foi realizada por estatística descritiva e o Teste U de Mann-Whitney foi empregado para testar diferenças entre os atributos dos dois pães, enquanto a intenção de compra foi obtida por proporção. Os dados foram tabulados no Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), versão 25.0. O nível de significância adotado foi de p<0,05. Na amostra predominaram mulheres (77,6%), com terceiro grau completo (58,2%), renda de até um salário mínimo (52,6%) e consumo médio de pães entre 2 e 3 vezes por semana. Dentre os atributos avaliados, apenas dois não apresentaram diferença significativa, porém, na análise de aceitação todos os atributos obtiveram aceitação acima de 70%. No teste de comparação pareada a maioria preferiu o pão de fermentação biológica, a mesma preferência foi apontada na intenção de compra.
