Published: April 2024

This study aimed to obtain and characterize soy flours from whole (WG) and shelled grains (SG) of the conventional cultivar Vmax and special cultivars used for human consumption, BRS 267 and BRS 257. For lipoxygenase enzyme inactivation, the WGs and SGs of BRS 267 and Vmax were bleached at 98 °C for 5 min, roasted at 150 °C for 30 min, milled and finally sieved through a size 40 mesh to obtain the flours. These flours were analyzed for proteins, lipids, isoflavones, Kunitz trypsin inhibitor, their nitrogen solubility index and their protein dispersibility index. The grain heat treatments caused a reduction in protein solubility, an increase in aglycone isoflavones and an 80% reduction in levels of the Kunitz trypsin inhibitor. Flours from bleached WGs were brown in color. Flours from BRS 267 had higher protein levels, while those from the cultivar Vmax had the highest lipid content. Flours from BRS 257 had greater protein solubility. Thus, varieties of special soybeans, genetically enhanced for human consumption, can be processed for better quality soy foods, promoting their acceptance.

Oxalate-enhanced degradation of ranitidine in the TiO2/H2O2 system under dark conditions
Authors: Tran Khen Duy , Kim Jungwon
Published: April 2024

The effect of oxalate on the degradation of ranitidine was investigated in the titanium dioxide (TiO2)/hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) system. The degradation of ranitidine proceeded more rapidly, with a 5.7-fold increase in the presence of oxalate. The oxalate-enhanced degradation is attributed to the higher production of hydroperoxyl radicals (HO2 ●) through the complexation of oxalate on the >TiIII (>TiIII(oxalate)n (2n−3)−), generated from inner-sphere electron transfer in the peroxo metal complexes (>TiIV−OOH). This was confirmed by measuring the time-dependent concentrations of HO2 ●, hydroxyl radicals (●OH), and H2O2 both with and without oxalate. The results of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-quenching experiments show that both HO2 ● and singlet oxygen (1O2) are primary oxidants in the TiO2/H2O2/oxalate system. The pseudo-first-order degradation rate constants (k) for ranitidine were higher with increasing TiO2 dosage (up to [TiO2] = 1.0 g/L) and H2O2 concentration but were optimal at [oxalate] = 1 mM. Although other chelating agents, such as citrate, acetate, and malonate, also showed a positive effect on the degradation of ranitidine in the TiO2/H2O2 system, oxalate exhibited the best performance. In addition, the extent of positive effect of oxalate in the TiO2/H2O2 system was much higher than that in the tungsten oxide (WO3)/H2O2 system.

Authors:   , Rowe Sarah
Published: April 2024

This policy analysis investigates the benefits of full practice authority (FPA) for Nurse Practitioners (NPs) in the Southwestern United States, using Arizona as an FPA model and California and Tennessee as comparison states. The PICO question that directed the project is: for NPs practicing as advanced practice nurse practitioners within the Southwestern United States region (P), does a comprehensive policy recommendation for FPA for NP-led clinics in the secondary education space (I) compared to existing variable approaches within the region (C) improve access to care and direct or indirect patient outcomes as endorsed by the literature (O)? A comprehensive literature review revealed that the United States is experiencing a significant primary care provider shortage. Although NPs are educationally prepared, tested, certified, and licensed to provide comprehensive patient care, California and Texas continue regulatory restrictions on NP scope of practice. These practice restrictions exacerbate the care shortage, especially in rural and primary health professional shortage areas. Furthermore, the literature search revealed consistent support of FPA by critical stakeholders, such as the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, the American Nurses Association, and the Consensus Model. Policy briefs advocating for evidence-based recommendations for FPA are presented for dissemination to the legislative bodies, professional organizations, and the state boards of nursing. Eliminating practice barriers allows NPs to practice to the fullest extent of their education and training. This results in greater access to care, reduced healthcare costs, increased quality of care, and works to lessen health disparities.

Current connotations of teachers’ emotional culture in the context of internet addiction among school students
Authors: BARBU Elena Gabriela , BOROZAN Maia
Published: April 2024

Given the active exploration of online communication, the emotional culture of teachers constitutes a professional resource to efficiently solve the problems generated by internet addiction among school students. It is ascertained that the excessive use of internet has a negative impact on their psychological health. Research in the field of psychology and pedagogy demonstrates that the emotional problems of the students with a high degree of internet addiction affect their communicative interactions, causing fear and isolation, proneness to anxiety, low effectiveness and adaptation deficiencies. From the students’ point of view, however, the internet has radically and irreversibly changed the way of life, increasing their well-being. For most of them, the internet represents a means of information, an undeniable opportunity for social connection and self-education, freedom from shyness and paralyzing inhibitions. The critical analysis of the current approaches to teachers’ emotional culture, developed as a result of the change in education paradigms, and as a result of the expansion of teachers’ professional roles, records the emergence of new meanings of the phenomenon in question. In the context of students’ internet addiction, affirming the emotional culture of teachers as a model for the development of social skills in students could be a strategic solution for ensuring a harmonious and stimulating climate for effective communication in the educational process. The high level of pedagogical culture, reflected in the quality of professional skills, including the socio-affective skills, enhances the emotional work potential of teachers. From this perspective, promoting the values of social culture by empowering social learning in the educational environment favors the active socialization of students. For these reasons, the continuous professional development of teachers’ emotional culture is indisputably important.

Pompe disease, also known as glycogen storage disease type II, is a rare inherited disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA), leading to the accumulation of glycogen in various tissues, particularly muscles. While Pompe disease can affect individuals of all ages, its presentation and management in pediatric patients present unique challenges. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of Pompe disease in pediatric populations. Special considerations in the areas of respiratory support, nutrition, physical therapy, and long-term outcomes will be discussed. Understanding these aspects is crucial for optimizing the care and quality of life for children with Pompe disease

Purpose: To establish and verify new digital technique to standardize endocrown preparations using CAD/CAM. Material and Methods: Ten recently extracted intact maxillary premolars were selected in this study. All teeth received standardized endodontic treatment. A standard 3D virtual designed cavity preparation was selected with specific dimensions. This preparation was sent to CAD software as STL file. All teeth samples were held within milling machine using special design attachment. All teeth were then scanned using trios 3. The scanned teeth were checked for trueness using 3D comparing engineering software by superimposition of the virtual model STL file as a control model to each STL file of the ten scanned teeth. Results: The total similarities and differences between 3D designed cavity preparations from Rhinoceros software were compared with the STL files of scanned specimens. The mean difference between the samples and the reference was 0.093 millimeters. Conclusion: 1) The mean trueness of all teeth samples was quantitively within the acceptable range (+100 ___ -100 micron), considering clinically relevant threshold in literature, 2) Qualitatively, the pulpal floor showed the most uneven deviation pattern.

O hemangioma infantil é um tumor benigno vascular prevalente na população pediátrica. Embora a maior parte dos casos seja apenas um achado clínico, sem demais alterações, uma parcela de lesões, dependendo da localização, profundidade e tamanho podem resultar em complicações como desfiguração, infecção secundária e ulceração, causando prejuízos para o indivíduo. Desta forma, é de suma importância a avaliação do risco da lesão de cada paciente, a fim de evitar desfechos desfavoráveis. Já está consolidado na literatura a utilização de beta-bloqueadores com o intuito de involução e diminuição das lesões. Neste relato de caso, abordaremos um paciente lactente com diagnóstico de hemangioma infantil em bolsa escrotal e sua consequente intervenção, em uso de propranolol. Este trabalho está sob o escopo do “Projeto de Educação no Trabalho para a Saúde do Centro Universitário de Volta Redonda - PET-UniFOA”, registrado no CAAE sob o número 30457714.1.0000.5237.

Objetivo: descrever um caso de Síndrome de Transfusão Feto-fetal (STFF), objetivando o enriquecimento do acervo científico acerca do tema. Relato do caso: JCTG, 43 anos, G3P2, gestação atual gemelar, tópica, monocoriônica e diamniótica. Ultrassonografia obstétrica com idade gestacional de 19 semanas evidenciando oligodrâmnio em cavidade do feto 1 e polidrâmnio em feto 2. Após diagnóstico de STFF, foi realizada ablação de vasos placentários a laser por fetoscopia. Em três meses, nova ultrassonografia indicando feto 2 em centralização fetal com diástole zero em artéria umbilical. Realizadas duas doses de corticoide para maturação pulmonar fetal, progredindo com parto prematuro. Ambos os recém-nascidos nasceram saudáveis e receberam alta hospitalar da UTI neonatal após atingirem o peso devido. Considerações finais: percebe-se a importância de realizar um diagnóstico precoce e tratamento efetivo para que ocorra um desfecho positivo, sendo necessário o treinamento dos profissionais da área de saúde para que isso seja possível.

O câncer de pele do tipo não melanoma é a neoplasia com maior incidência no Brasil, sendo o carcinoma basocelular o subtipo mais frequente. Existem alguns fatores de risco para o seu aparecimento, como: exposição prolongada e repetida ao raio de sol, possuir pele e olhos claros ou ser albino, ter história pessoal ou familiar de câncer de pele.  A paciente do caso apresentou uma lesão dermatológica próximo a clavícula direita, com a característica de ser ulcerada, possuir a coloração acastanhada, com áreas esbranquiçadas, não pruriginosa, de aproximadamente 2 cm de comprimento.  Negava dor na região, além de sintomas constitucionais. Para melhores investigações, foi necessário a realização de biópsia da lesão. Ao resultado histopatológico, foi concluído se tratar de um carcionoma basocelular, em que as margens cirúrgicas estavam livres de comprometimento neoplásico. Dessa forma, foi orientada quanto aos sinais de alerta, assim como formas de proteção para evitar o surgimento de novas lesões.

A Síndrome de Guillain-Barré é uma poliradiculoneuropatia imunomediada, sendo a patologia que mais comumente leva à paralisia na população infantil na era pós-vacinal. A síndrome surge de uma resposta imune cruzada, na qual há ativação do sistema imunológico, diante de um estímulo infeccioso, contra as células da bainha de mielina, levando à destruição dessa bainha, resultando em lesão neurológica e no aparecimento de manifestações clínicas. Na população pediátrica, as manifestações atípicas são comuns, o que dificulta o diagnóstico precoce dessa doença. Contudo, o prognóstico da doença tende a ser favorável. O presente estudo relara o caso de uma paciente feminina, 11 anos, com história de dor aguda em membros inferiores e redução dos reflexos tendinosos. Após a realização dos exames, foi iniciada a imunoglobulina intravenosa e, após 10 dias, evoluiu com remissão do quadro e com alta hospitalar, iniciando seguimento com a equipe de neuropediatria e de fisioterapia.

As Hepatites Virais configuram importante questão em saúde pública, exigindo crescente demanda dos profissionais de saúde, gestores e sociedade por mobilização, capacitação e conscientização no sentido da vigilância epidemiológica destas, uma que são preveníveis, através de imunobiológicos e medidas simples de proteção individual e coletiva (Ministério da Saúde, 2008). O presente trabalho objetivou inquérito epidemiológico para análise do perfil vacinal para Hepatites Virais de acadêmicos de Medicina, traçando panorama da proteção imunológica destes, utilizando como método, aplicação de questionário com perguntas simples, rápidas e fáceis a fim detectar se o acadêmico já teve e/ou tem contato com materiais potencialmente contaminados que elevem o risco biológico deste se contaminar. Dentro de universo de 642 acadêmicos, evidenciamos naqueles do ciclo clínico da graduação, média de 13% mostram certa negligência quanto ao conhecimento da doença, muito embora 45 a 65% destes referem terem sido vacinados contra HBV. Em suma, evidencia-se emergente conscientização de coordenadores das escolas médicas, para exigir dos acadêmicos logo ao ingresso destes muito mais que imunização, controle pós-vacinal adequado, pelo risco biológico que passam a estar expostos, a fim de fundamentar importância da vigilância epidemiológica frente às Hepatites Virais.

Introdução: Historicamente, o Brasil é referência para muitos países no manejo do HIV/AIDS. Entretanto, a distribuição da doença, assim como seu perfil, tem sofrido uma heterogeneização. Marcadores epidemiológicos e sociais são fundamentais para o planejamento e otimização de ações em saúde pública. O objetivo deste artigo é descrever os dados estatísticos do perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes infectados pelo vírus HIV nas cinco macrorregiões brasileiras e associá-los a literatura. Métodos: Estudo epidemiológico e retrospectivo embasado em dados públicos de internações coletados no Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde. A amostra são pacientes portadores de HIV/AIDS usuários do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) das cinco macrorregiões brasileiras no período de 2015 a 2020. Foram utilizados artigos disponíveis nas plataformas Pubmed e Scielo para contextualização literária. Resultados: Foram analisadas 160.428 internações. O panorama de internações e óbitos seguiu o padrão populoso de cada macrorregião, o sexo mais acometido foi o masculino, a faixa etária com mais infecções foi entre 20-44 anos, o maior número de infectados foram da cor parda, chamou a atenção a baixa escolaridade entre esses pacientes e o maior modo de contágio foi a via sexual. Conclusão: Nesse contexto, conhecer a epidemiologia e perfil de vulnerabilidade é fundamental para as ações de saúde pública que permitam melhor qualidade de vida e maior sobrevida.
