Chronic autoimmune gastritis is a sustained inflammation of the stomach, characterized by being immunologically mediated against intrinsic factor-producing parietal cells, leading to nutritional deficiencies that may result in anemia. This study investigates the prevalence and underlying mechanism of anemia in patients with chronic autoimmune gastritis, focusing on iron deficiency anemia and megaloblastic anemia due to vitamin B12 deficiency. A bibliographic review was carried out on the subject, in databases of scientific relevance and verified by peers, whose inclusion criteria allowed only studies relevant to the subject, published in the last five years, which establish a relationship with chronic autoimmune gastritis and anemia. Thus, the exclusion criteria left out studies on chronic gastritis due to other etiologies, those cases not related to anemia, or other studies not relevant to the general objective. In the pathophysiological framework, there is an autoimmune destruction of gastric parietal cells, which leads to a reduction in the secretion of hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor, essential for the absorption of vitamin B12 and iron, predisposing to iron deficiency and megaloblastic anemia. Histological examination reveals gastric atrophy with loss of glands, lymphocytic infiltration, and presence of plasma cells. Symptoms include dyspepsia, loss of appetite and loss of appetite.

Authors: Gomes Larisa Alves , Monteiro Paulo Roberto Duailibe , Borges Thiago Trezza
Published: May 2024

A substation is the part of a power system, concentrated in a given location, which comprises a set of switching, transformation, compensation and other equipment used to direct the flow of energy and enable its diversification, through alternative routes. According to the 2023 National Energy Balance Report, the final consumption of electrical energy in the country has been growing in recent years, requiring adaptation and expansion of the energy sector, from the generation process, transmission to distribution of electrical energy, emerging the need for investments in the construction of new substations and/or modernization and expansion of existing facilities. Therefore, this study aims to propose a comprehensive methodology for defining the most appropriate busbar arrangement for a given distribution, transmission, and industrial substation project. The methodology is based on qualitative and quantitative criteria, considering elements such as system security, operational flexibility, and availability during maintenance, and thus using a scoring system for each of the criteria taking into account the configuration of the bus arrangement. Additionally, a study of the implementation cost is considered, based on the budget methodology developed by the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL). Through these approaches, it is possible to observe that, as the voltage class increases, the system safety and availability requirements also increase, arrangements that more efficiently fulfill these criteria stand out in higher voltage classes, while those that perform poorly in these respects but offer similar operational flexibility excel in lower voltage classes.

In this sense, it is important to know the current context that professors at public universities face in their professional lives. The objective of this study was to conduct a survey on the training and work of teachers in public universities. The Support Program for Restructuring and Expansion Plans of Federal Universities democratized access to higher education in Brazil, however, there was a greater demand for training and efficient pedagogical practices that facilitated student learning and not only reproduced content, as in traditional education that still persists today. It is also observed that professors have exhausting routines and debauched salaries, along with an enormous demand for productivity, then developing teaching, research and extension activities, in addition to sometimes participating in commissions and administrative positions. Therefore, it is necessary and urgent to understand the real situation of training and the work of teachers in federal institutions, in order to support more assertive decision-making regarding higher education, so that they can count on qualified and satisfied workers, in which they promote a liberating education and contribute to the development of the country.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most common cause of death from a single infectious agent. Tuberculosis is primarily a disease of the lungs, but it can also affect other parts of the body and cause extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB). Approximately 5 % of all cases of EPTB are tuberculous meningitis (TMB), caused by the spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the meninges and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). MTB is the most devastating form of tuberculosis and continues to cause high morbidity and mortality, with approximately 50 % of patients dying or suffering neurological sequelae and complications. The aim of the present study is to learn more about the etiologic, clinical and diagnostic presentation of this pathology. Case report: we present a 46-year-old male patient who reports productive cough of approximately 9 months of evolution with presence of diaphoresis, no evidence of weight loss, 15 days ago the patient reported cough accompanied by hemoptysis, reason for which he went to the nearest health center. His evolution was torpid and his tuberculosis was complicated to tuberculous meningitis where compatible signs and symptoms were evidenced, and immediate treatment was started with isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol and later four months with isoniazid and rifampicin. Conclusions: the rapid diagnosis of MTB requires an understanding and a joint analysis of the clinical, radiological and laboratory findings of our infected and uninfected patients and the evaluation of prognoses

Published: May 2024

In the field of nursing, "the other" and "otherness" focuses on the recognition and understanding of the cultural, social and personal diversity of individuals. This perspective considers particularities, beliefs and experiences as crucial elements in the health care, in addition contemporary nursing recognizes that each person is unique and has an identity that goes beyond their medical condition. When facing the "other", nursing professionals strive to understand their values, beliefs and cultural contexts to provide truly person-centered care, in this sense, nursing care focuses on establishing an empathetic and respectful connection with the patient, recognizing and valuing their individuality. Otherness becomes a bridge to understand differences and adapt health care to the specific needs of each individual, taking into consideration a holistic approach, considering not only the physical aspects, but also the emotional, cultural and social aspects of the patient, which involves working in interdisciplinary teams to integrate different perspectives and knowledge , thus promoting more complete and effective care. In conclusion, the nursing approach towards "the other" and otherness lies in recognizing, respecting and valuing the uniqueness of each individual, thus promoting more human, sensitive and person-centered care
