O contexto de trabalho vivenciado por gestores na organização socioeducativa do Distrito Federal, à luz de uma análise estatística descritiva em saúde mental
Authors: Soares Tatiana de Paula , Ribeiro Jorge Ponciano
Published: August 2022

Um aumento no número de horas gastas na força de trabalho e o estresse no trabalho têm sido fatores proeminentes no aumento dos problemas de saúde. Nas organizações o conceito de trabalho possui interface importante como perfil da gestão e o trabalho ocupa um papel central na formação das subjetividades dos gestores. Esta pesquisa objetivou, por meio do Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ), identificar e descrever o nível das escalas 'demanda', 'controle' e 'apoio' institucionais aliados ao contexto de trabalho e à realização profissional da gestão da socioeducação no Distrito Federal. Através de correlações, avaliaram-se as relações sociais no trabalho, a saúde mental e o impacto na qualidade de vida e no desenvolvimento de burnout, aliados à precarização do ambiente de trabalho. A amostra deste estudo foi constituída por 48 gestores que concluíram todas as questões, sobre: itens sociodemográficos; níveis de saúde física, mental, burnout; e contexto de trabalho. Entretanto, neste artigo em especial, focou-se na avaliação do instrumental proposto por Robert Karasek acerca da satisfação no trabalho. Nos resultados, verificou-se que, independente da hierarquização de cargos, o controle e o apoio institucional tiveram a mesma influência nos gestores que apresentaram diferentes níveis de burnout. Em relação ao burnout e à qualidade de vida, constatou-se que, quanto mais esgotados emocionalmente, pior o quadro geral de saúde e ainda que, quanto pior a saúde mental, menos realizados pessoalmente estariam os gestores. Sobre a qualidade de vida, quanto menos capacidade funcional, piores os aspectos sociais dos gestores. Acerca das condições de trabalho, 77% (37 de 48 participantes) afirmaram que há repetição frequente das mesmas atividades e, com relação à escala demanda, cerca de 66% (32 de 48 participantes) precisam rotineiramente realizar seu trabalho de maneira célere, fatos que podem levar à piora do quadro de saúde mental. De forma geral, este artigo visou possibilitar a identificação de elementos que possam suscitar em instrumento político, fundamentado em reflexões sobre a saúde do gestor no campo do trabalho. Com isso, é possível desembocar em ideias e práticas, poderão ser revistas inter-relações, relações de poder, ações políticas e formas de gestão de acordo com a estrutura e cultura organizacional, e mobilização/interesse da equipe gestora.

Authors: Japiassu Vitor Borges , Cunha Neto Sérgio de Castro , Oliveira Rafael Rodrigues de Almeida Rego
Published: August 2022

INTRODUÇÃO: A pandemia do COVID-19 promoveu profundas mudanças no perfil e na distribuição do número de partos e suas características. Assim, as variações no número de procedimentos obstétricos, de nascimentos e da prevalência da prematuridade são marcantes fatores influenciados pelo contexto pandêmico. METODOLOGIA: Foram pesquisadas metanálises e revisões sistemáticas e de literatura, nos idiomas inglês, portugues e espanhol, publicados entre os anos de 2020 e 2022, no PubMed, Scielo e MedLine, onde foram selecionados 15 artigos dentre um total de 761 pesquisados. RESULTADOS: Foram encontradas claras evidências de redução no número de operações obstétricas (de 30% a 90% de redução no Brasil), no número de nascimentos (redução de cerca de 11%), do número de nascimentos pré-termo (cerca de 10%), do número de consultas pré-natal (queda de 44%), e um aumento dos casos de depressão e ansiedade em gestantes. Todos esses dados são em comparação ao período pandêmico com anos anteriores. DISCUSSÃO: As reduções do número de pré-natal e procedimentos obstétricos estão intimamente ligados ao contexto de isolamento e restrição social imposto pela pandemia. A variação do número de nascimentos por região e sistema, público ou privado, demonstra uma certa influência demográfica e social, a partir de aspectos de planejamento familiar e econômicos. Quanto à redução nos casos de prematuridade, percebe-se uma notável influência do contexto biopsicossocial para as gestantes, onde a exposição aos fatores de risco, combinada com a potencialização da higiene e do convívio domiciliar provavelmente influenciou o quadro, bem como possivelmente maximizou os casos de depressão e ansiedade entre as mulheres grávidas. CONCLUSÃO: Os dados estudados permitem comparar os cenários obstétricos epidêmicos e pré-pandêmicos, e possibilitam visualizar uma clara influência desse contexto no âmbito gestacional.

Development and Establishment of Breast Milk Banking as the Main Vector of Nutritional Support in Newborn Children in Critical Conditions
Authors: Крастелёва И.М. , Васильев С.А.
Published: August 2022

В XXI в. грудное вскармливание не потеряло своей актуальности. Интерес к нему возрастает в связи с новыми открытиями уникальных свойств грудного молока. Грудное молоко содержит все питательные вещества, необходимые младенцу для обеспечения наилучших возможностей для роста и развития. Однако по ряду причин, когда мать не может обеспечить кормление ребенка грудью, приходится рассматривать возможность использования сцеженного грудного молока. Большое количество проблем, связанных с выживаемостью новорожденных, обусловлено недостаточно решенными вопросами нутритивной поддержки новорожденных, находящихся в критическом состоянии. Детские молочные смеси позволяют решить некоторые вопросы питания таких детей, однако по многим параметрам уступают ценности грудного молока, особенно в первые месяцы жизни ребенка. При отсутствии грудного молока у матери донорское молоко должно являться действенной альтернативой. В то же время донорство грудного молока в нашей стране не обозначено законодательно, отсутствует нормативная база, регламентирующая вопросы сбора, хранения, оценки качества и безопасности донорского молока, подбора доноров, определения категорий детей, нуждающихся во вскармливании донорским грудным молоком. Необходимо создание банков грудного молока и проведение активной работы по пропаганде среди населения преимуществ грудного молока по сравнению с искусственными молочными смесями.

In the 21st century breastfeeding has not lost its relevance. Interest in it is growing in connection with new discoveries of the unique properties of breast milk. Breast milk contains all the nutrients a baby needs to provide the best opportunities for growth and development. However, for a number of reasons, when a mother is unable to provide breastfeeding, the use of expressed breast milk must be considered. A large number of problems associated with the survival of newborns are due to insufficiently resolved issues of nutritional support for newborns in critical condition. Infant milk formulas allow solving some nutritional issues of such children, but in many respects they are inferior to the values of breast milk, especially in the first months of a child’s life. In the absence of breast milk from the mother, donor milk should be an effective alternative. At the same time, breast milk donation in our country is not designated by law, there is no regulatory framework that regulates the collection, storage, assessment of the quality and safety of donor milk, the selection of donors, and the definition of categories of children who need to be fed with donor breast milk. It is necessary to create breast milk banks and carry out active work to promote among the population the advantages of breast milk compared to artificial milk formulas.

As per Globocan 2020 , estimated no. of cases of carcinoma esophagus
among men worldwide are 4,18,350 accounting 4.2 % of total cancer
th [1]
cases and in India , it ranks 5 with an incidence of 63,180 cases .
Because esophagus has no serosal covering with extensive,
longitudinal connecting system of lymphatic plexus, direct invasion to
[2]
contiguous structures and lymph node metastasis occurs early. That is
why, unresectable or metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis is seen
in approximately 80% of patients, with cure rate <15% and thus
making esophageal cancer one of the most dreaded malignancies with

In this research work, Silver nanoparticles were synthesized from Carica papaya leaf extract via green route. The physicochemical parameters including boiling point, color, odor, density, pH as well as the solubility of papaya leaf extract were first determined before proceeding with the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The formation of Silver Nanoparticles first, was identified by color change from light brown to dark brown after the nucleation of the metal ions indicating that phytoconstituents of Carica papaya resulted in the reduction of Ag+ to Ag0, a phenomenon that could be attributed to the surface Plasmon absorption. The bio fabricated silver nanoparticles were characterized using UV – Visible and SEM to be certain of its formation before being deployed in the antibacterial studies. The UV-Vis spectral analysis showed maximum absorbance of 1.05 at a corresponding wavelength (λ max) of 400nm reflecting the surface Plasmon resonance of silver NPs from papaya leaves which is characteristic of Silver Nanoparticles. SEM image revealed that, the synthesized silver nanoparticles have a spinel like structure and an average size of about 50nm. The antibacterial studies of Silver nanoparticles were conducted against B. subtilis, K. pneunoniae, P. aeruginosa, E. coli, and S. typhi. Different concentrations of 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500μg/L of Silver nanoparticles were tested against each pathogen. The inhibition zone increases generally with increase in concentrations of silver nanoparticles. At higher concentration of 500μg/L, the zones of inhibition were in the following order; 24.44mm, 17.64mm, 17.52mm, 16.88mm, and 16.00mm for B. subtilis, P. aeruginosa, E. coli, K. pneumoniae and S. typhi respectively. The zone of inhibition for Augmentin was found to be higher compared to silver nanoparticles for each pathogen, except for P. aeruginosa where it is almost the same, an indication of high activity of silver nanoparticles against P. aeruginosa due to the comparability with Augmentin. For each concentration investigated, B. subtilis demonstrated higher zone of inhibition as compared to other pathogens studied in this work, hence, Ag NPs may be a potential antibiotic.

Published: August 2022

O aumento da população pet no Brasil causou maior proximidade da convivência de gatos com o ser humano e a falta de conhecimento do proprietário quanto às particulares felinas pode favorecer a ocorrência de toxicoses. Assim, o presente estudo apresenta as principais causas de intoxicações em gatos registrados no Hospital Veterinário (Hovet) da Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia da Universidade de São Paulo (FMVZ-USP), no período de janeiro de 2010 a dezembro de 2021. Os resultados mostraram que a frequência de ocorrência anual de casos de intoxicações em gatos variou de 0,71% (5/704) a 2,68% (9/336), e os principais agentes responsáveis por intoxicações foram os praguicidas anticolinesterásicos, como carbamatos e organofosforados (50% - 48/96), e os medicamentos, em particular, os anti-inflamatórios não esteroidais (31,25% - 30/96). Houve casos em que não foi identificada a substância envolvida (7,29% - 7/96), o que dificulta a abordagem terapêutica. Em casos de urgência, devem ser inicialmente instituídas as medidas destinadas à manutenção das funções vitais do animal, e, posteriormente, de suporte ao animal. Nestes casos, é importante a realização do diagnóstico diferencial das possíveis causas de intoxicação de acordo com os sinais e histórico clínico, bem como a colheita de amostras para análise toxicológica.

Published: August 2022

Background: While prior research has shown that patients with osteoarthritis (OA) who are prescribed
opioids have higher rates of falls and fractures following drug initiation, there is a limited body of work
establishing a comprehensive model of factors that influence the risk of falls or fractures among these
patients.
Objective: Opioids are associated with negative clinical outcomes, including increased risk of falls and
fractures. This study assessed the frequency, treatment characteristics, and risk factors associated with
falls or fractures among patients with OA taking opioids.
Methods: Optum Healthcare Solutions, Inc data (January 2012–March 2017) were used to identify
patients over 18 with at least 2 diagnoses of hip and/or knee OA, and at least 90 days’ supply of opioids.
Patients with cancer were excluded. Falls or fractures outcomes were assessed in the 36-month
follow-up period after the date of the first opioid prescription after first OA diagnosis. Demographic,
treatment, and clinical characteristics associated with falls or fractures were assessed using logistic
regression.
Results: Of 16 663 patients meeting inclusion criteria, 3886 (23%) had at least 1 fall or fracture during
follow-up. Of these 3886 patients, 1349 (35%) had at least 1 fall with an average of 3 fall claims,
and 3299 (85%) patients had at least 1 fracture with an average of 8 claims during follow-up. Spine
(15.8%) and hip (12.5%) fractures were most common. Median time to fall or fracture was 18.6 and
13.9 months, respectively. Significant (P<.05) risk factors associated with at least 1 fall or fracture
during the follow-up period included alcohol use (odds ratio [OR], 3.41), history of falling (OR,
2.19), non-tramadol opioid use (OR, 1.31), age (OR, 1.03), benzodiazepine use (OR, 1.21), and at
least 1 osteoporosis diagnosis (OR, 2.06).
Discussion: This study is among only a few that clearly identifies the substantial impact and frequency
of falls and fractures associated with prescribing non-tramadol opioids to patients with OA. Findings
suggest that fall or fracture risks need to be considered when managing OA pain with opioids.
Conclusion: Falls and fractures impose a major clinical burden on patients prescribed opioids for
OA-related pain management. Falls or fracture risks should be an important consideration in the
ongoing treatment of patients with OA.

Published: August 2022

Nesta investigação apresentamos os resultados de como a colaboração favorece o desenvolvimento profissional de um grupo de professoras dos anos iniciais de uma escola pública que se propuseram a implementar a alfabetização científica em suas aulas.  As docentes se reuniram virtualmente em função da pandemia com o objetivo de discutir e propor soluções para trabalharem a alfabetização científica. Neste processo, emergiram questões que se relacionavam com a sua formação inicial, sua identidade profissional e a suas respectivas práticas pedagógicas, entre outros aspectos. O grupo colaborativo mostrou-se efetivo para fomentar novas aprendizagens e visões fundamentais para o processo de desenvolvimento profissional. Tentou-se localizar quais elementos deste processo forma mais valorizados pelas professoras. Neste sentido utilizamos um modelo analítico que relaciona o desenvolvimento profissional com reflexões alinhadas a oito contextos formativos que, por sua vez, dialogam com a academia, a escola e a sociedade. Nossos achados apontam que tais reflexões foram favorecidas em função do engajamento das professoras na cultura colaborativa.
