Authors: Sumastri Heni , Edyansyah Erwin , Pastari Marta
Published: May 2024

There is a trend of increasing SC procedures in a number of hospitals, both in private hospitals and goverment hospitals, even though the clinical risk to mothers who give birth through SC surgery is greater than the risk of normal (vaginal) birth. Psychological risks cannot be avoided because the pain after SC surgery is longer and there are risks to the baby. The risk of adverse post-SC consequences needs to be studied further from a health ethics perspective, starting from the doctor's decision-making process in carrying out SC surgery. This research method is analytical using a cross-sectional approach (V. Wiratna Sujarweni, 2020). Time and Place of Research: Research was conducted from June-August 2023. This research was conducted at the Palembang Muhammadiyah Hospital in 2023. The number of types of birth with SC was 70 respondents and normal delivery was 26 respondents. The results of statistical tests showed that there was a significant relationship between maternal age, PEB/eclampsia, premature rupture of membranes (KPD), and gravida status, with SC delivery. From the research results it can be concluded that the type of delivery, maternal age, PEB/eclampsia, premature rupture of membranes (KPD), and gravida status, are factors that cause respondents to undergo SC delivery

DESAFIOS NOS REGISTROS DE SITUAÇÕES DE VIOLÊNCIA CONTRA O GÊNERO FEMININO
Authors: Lima Edyane Silva de , Carvalho Marselle Nobre de
Published: May 2024

Abordar sobre o fenômeno da violência exige ampla compreensão, uma vez que este se movimenta diferentemente, mas, faz parte da história das sociedades. O fenômeno se evidencia na violência de gênero, traduzida por relações desiguais entre os sexos, encontrando fundamentos numa sociedade patriarcal e machista, em que o masculino ainda é tido como superior ao feminino. Sabemos que os dados estatísticos e indicadores servem de subsídios para o planejamento de políticas públicas e sociais, porém apresentam fragilidades no registro das informações sobre a questão da violência, principalmente contra o gênero feminino. Por isso, este artigo tem como objetivo discorrer e problematizar brevemente sobre os desafios e a importância dos registros de situações de violência contra a meninas e mulheres na realidade brasileira. Compreende a uma pesquisa exploratória qualitativa e quantitativa, recorrendo a revisão bibliográfica conceitual e aos dados secundários do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação - Sinan (2012 a 2022), Ouvidoria Nacional de Direitos Humanos (2019) e Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada/Fórum Brasileiro de Segurança Pública – IPEA/FBSP (2023). Mediante aos achados, identificamos que a violência contra o gênero feminino no país se comporta majoritariamente nas faces das violências física, psicológica e sexual, não havendo um diálogo e articulação entre as bases de registros de dados. Exigindo maior comprometimento das instituições com a questão, bem como encarar com seriedade o registro dos dados, visando auxiliar científica e efetivamente com as políticas públicas de atendimento e enfrentamento à violência contra meninas e mulheres.

Published: May 2024

One of the objectives of the Charitas-Cafubá Tunnel is to reduce travel time on the way to the city center of Niterói or the city of Rio de Janeiro. To measure the impact of the tunnel, a comparison of the travel time and vehicle flow of the current two existing routes after the construction of the tunnel with the single previous route was conducted. The results indicated that the travel time between the two alternatives after the construction of the tunnel approaches an equilibrium, both with a shorter travel time than the previous one. However, there was an increase in the total number of vehicles at the point of convergence between the routes. By analyzing the section after the convergence point, it is concluded that the reduction in the initial travel time provided by the Tunnel is counterbalanced by the increase in travel time in the segment after the convergence of the current routes.

Published: May 2024

Natural products that cause oxidative stress and even local corrosion are of interest as degrading products of materials persistent in nature, such as plastic. This chapter evaluated the corrosive and shrinkage physicochemical action of total aqueous extracts of Euphorbia tirucalli, a species described as corrosive and shrinkage, from specimens with geographic variations (mangrove and mountains of Rio de Janeiro and the north coast of São Paulo) also subjected to temperature variations, on polypropylene (PP-5). This plastic is used on a daily basis and can be subjected to reuse processes. In the present experiment, aqueous extracts were prepared from temperature variations and their plant chemical productions were marked using high-performance liquid chromatography associated with the UV detection spectrum. Unlike previous tests, none of the extracts were capable of immediate extraction or digestion over 30 days. Only for the stems from Petrópolis (50%) and the north coast of São Paulo (33%) subjected to boiling was the activation of their gummy action observed, acting as glue on the PP-5. suggestive of natural polymerization for cellulose. Despite the observations regarding the potential practical, useful and cheap application of this test, it was evident that the raw latexes from the geographical regions tested at different temperatures were not capable of chemically digesting isopropylene, thus suggesting that the enzyme capable of digesting this plastic effectively participates when the endophytic fungus present in this species finds favorable conditions to develop as previously discussed. Phytopathology tests confirmed the biological effects verified through the roots of E. tirucalli and subsequently, new cultivars developed followed the variation in the release of cyanuric acid into the test environment, marking interest since cyanuric acid can play a role in recovery soil, in addition to being a herbicide, insecticide and being able to reduce contamination by gram-negative fecal coliforms in water, especially Escherichia coli. Based on this contribution, new tests will be carried out in order to investigate mechanisms of action in phytoremediation, comparing them with those already preliminarily evidenced and communicated. A specific protocol has been developed in Plant Biotechnology, as these jobs have the possibility of useful and profitable application in reuse, to be carried out by small solid waste recyclers. It will also aim at autonomy for ethnic groups in urban situations, as well as promoting environmental sustainability.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are conceptualized as a modification in the functioning of the cardiac system. Such diseases have been responsible for a relevant rate of morbidity and mortality, becoming a public health problem because they affect a significant population. Thus, it is worth mentioning that the black population is within the risk group for the development of CVDs, mainly due to their difficulty in accessing health services. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in quilombola communities in the municipality of Itapecuru-Mirim, in the state of Maanhão. Data collection was carried out through the application of a questionnaire, covering 110 individuals. The data were tabulated and analyzed in an Excel spreadsheet, and the qualitative variables were presented by means of absolute and relative frequencies and analyzed using the BioStata software. The results showed a predominance of females 57.27% (n=63), with a mean age of 49.39% for both sexes. Within the family history, the CVD that most commonly occurs is Arterial Hypertension 30.91% (n=34). In addition, 12.73% (n=13) reported being diabetic and 25.45% (n=27) hypertensive. Regarding blood pressure levels, the mean blood pressure in males was more altered (140x92 mmHg in systolic and 92.46 mmHg in diastolic), while blood glucose was 134.22 mg/dL among the participants. Thus, it is observed that the members of the two quilombola communities present risk behaviors that can culminate in the increase in the development of CVDs.

Ruptura esplênica após dengue: Um relato de caso
Authors: Silveira Gabriela Assunção Moreira e , Terra Guilherme Azevedo
Published: May 2024

INTRODUÇÃO: A dengue é a arbovirose urbana mais prevalente na América do Sul. Acomete a população, principalmente nos meses mais chuvosos do ano. Todas faixas etárias são igualmente suscetíveis, sendo que as pessoas com comorbidades apresentam maior risco de evoluir para quadros mais graves. Esse artigo apresenta como objetivo relatar caso grave de dengue em paciente sem comorbidades que evoluiu com complicações cirúrgicas. RELATO DE CASO: Paciente M.J.A.O.F, 52 anos, hígida, admitida na UTI do Hospital Regional Jose de Alencar da cidade de Uberaba com quadro de dor abdominal difusa há 1 semana, associado à mialgia, astenia, náuseas, vômitos e prurido difuso. No pronto socorro na manhã da internação apresentava anemia severa com hemoglobina de 5,0 com necessidade de transfusão sanguínea e teste NS1 positivo para dengue. Ao exame físico da admissão tinha mucosas descoradas 2+/4+, taquicardia, desconforto respiratório com necessidade de suplementação de oxigênio, abdome distendido, com descompressão brusca positiva e percussão maciça. Realizada tomografia de abdome que evidenciou: presença de líquido livre em cavidade abdominal, material hiperdenso finamente heterogêneo subcapsular esplênico, podendo corresponder a hematoma, 710ml; hepatomegalia, edema periportal e derrame pleural bilateral. Após avaliação da equipe cirúrgica indicado laparotomia exploratória, evidenciado no intraoperatório: ruptura esplênica por hematoma subcapsular, com em torno de 2 litros de sangue na cavidade intra abdominal, procedido à esplenectomia. Transfundido 3 concentrados de hemácias e 3 de plaquetas no intraoperatório. No primeiro dia pós operatório paciente com melhora clínica sem uso de drogas vasoativas, com melhora do desconforto respiratório e mantendo valores de hemoglobina estáveis entre 10,2 e 10,7. Paciente recebe alta hospitalar no 5º dia pós operatório sem intercorrências e segue acompanhamento ambulatorial, com realização das profilaxias adequadas no pós operatório de esplenectomia. DISCUSSÃO: Raros são os casos de complicações cirúrgicas da dengue na literatura, portanto, deve-se atentar aos sinais de alarme, como: Dor abdominal intensa e contínua; vômitos persistentes; Acúmulo de líquidos (ascite, derrame pleural); Hipotensão postural e/ou lipotimia; Letargia e/ou irritabilidade; Hepatomegalia; Sangramento de mucosa e aumento progressivo do hematócrito¹. Quanto mais rápido identificados os mesmos, mais rápido ações categóricas podem ser tomadas pela equipe médica para tratamento adequado das complicações com ampliação da sobrevida dos pacientes. Deve-se atentar também para histórias clínicas sem fatores de risco clássicos ou típicos, uma vez que, no caso apresentado, o paciente possui 52 anos de idade e nenhum outro fator de risco previamente conhecido. No que concerne à técnica cirúrgica, necessita ter alto conhecimento da anatomia da irrigação para evitar ligaduras errôneas de artérias e veias que suprem órgãos adjacentes ao baço, como o pâncreas.

This study investigates the relationships between economic, environmental, and trade factors within the G7 economies from 1990 to 2022, focusing on their impacts on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Analyzing data from G7 economies such as Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The study employs multiple regression (MLR) models to examine the influence of economic and environmental factors on CO2 emissions. Additionally, factor loading analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) is utilized to validate construct reliability and visualize complex relationships. The findings highlight positive correlations between GDP growth and employment, alongside negative correlations with income inequality. In addition, environmental challenges are evident through negative correlations with industrial and energy-related CO2 emissions. The practical implications highlight the importance for policymakers to prioritize strategies promoting economic growth, addressing income inequality, and fostering sustainable trade relationships within the G7 economies to ensure inclusive and sustainable development. This study contributes to the literature by offering comprehensive insights into the intricate dynamics between economic, environmental, and trade factors and their impacts on CO2 emissions.
