Introdução: As Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis (DCNTs), ocuparam 7 lugares dentre 10 das principais causas de morte no mundo, sendo elas, doenças do aparelho circulatório, doenças respiratórias crônicas, câncer e diabetes mellitus tipo II, moléstias associadas ao estilo de vida. Considerando o impacto dessas doenças, o Ministério da Saúde elaborou o Plano de Ações Estratégicas para o Enfrentamento das DCNTs entre 2011-2022. Entre as metas estabelecidas destaca-se a redução da mortalidade prematura por DCNTs em 2% ao ano. Objetivo: Investigar a mortalidade prematura por DCNTs de 2015 a 2022, no Brasil. Método: Estudo ecológico de análise temporal da mortalidade entre 2015 a 2022. A taxa de mortalidade (tM) foi calculada a partir da seguinte equação: tM= n óbitos X 100.000/população. Resultados: Foram identificadas 2.450.264 mortes, a tM média anual foi de 146,34 e o aumento médio da tM de 0,66 ao ano, ocorrendo de maneira irregular ao longo do tempo: entre os anos de 2015 e 2017, a variação média da tM foi +0,85%, e entre 2015 e 2019, de +0,68%. 2020 destacou-se por apresentar variação de -1,03% da tM em relação ao ano anterior. Nos demais anos, a tM retomou a sua tendência crescente, de 1,96% em 2021 e 0,99% em 2022. Em números absolutos, nenhuma Unidade Federativa (UF) apresentou variação da mortalidade média inferior a 2% ao longo do período. Houve tendência de diminuição da taxa de mortalidade prematura em 6 das 27 Unidades Federativas (UFs): Pernambuco (-2,70%), Sergipe (-2,15%), Rio de Janeiro (-7,02%), Paraná (-1,52%), Rio Grande do Sul (-1,17%) e Distrito Federal (-11,55%). Conclusão: Percebe-se que, apesar da tendência de redução das taxas de mortalidade prematura em apenas 6 UFs, a meta de redução de 2% ao ano da mortalidade prematura por DCNT foi atingida por 18 UFs em pelo menos 1 ano, porém nenhuma conseguiu manter a redução de forma constante, em todos os anos, no período de 2015 a 2022, evidenciando a necessidade da elaboração de estratégias que corroborem para essa redução, de acordo com as demandas específicas de cada estado.

L’oeil et l’oreille du sommeil. Lire les vidéo-polysomnographies avec des infirmières de nuit
Authors: Barbier Amélie 
Published: November 2023

Ce texte s’appuie sur une enquête ethnographique dans le service des pathologies du sommeil de l’hôpital de la Pitié-Salpêtrière à Paris. La nuit, une équipe d’infirmières veille sur des ordinateurs : les écrans diffusent en direct les vidéos et les tracés électrophysiologiques de patients atteints de troubles du sommeil. Nous proposons d’explorer les stratégies de veille des soignantes, ainsi que les techniques du regard, de l’écoute et de l’attention qu’elles portent sur cette communauté locale de dormeurs. Alors qu’elles lisent les signes du sommeil, « une autre sorte de soin » se dessine, faite de savoirs et savoir-faire transmis en situation, ainsi que d’une sensibilité et une solidarité attachées à l’espace-temps nocturne.

À partir du concept de « rituels de la perception », nous proposons d’étudier les devenirs techniques et artistiques qui configurent les tensions esthétiques et politiques qui définissent notre agencement social. En adoptant une perspective généalogique, l’article construit un parcours qui montre comment certaines évidences de notre techno-numéricité sont produites à l’intérieur de pratiques discursives et non discursives qui précèdent l’appareil computationnel. En ce sens, nous essayons de montrer comment les pratiques de l’art définies en tant qu’« interruptions des flux quotidiens de la sensibilité » et inscrites à l’intérieur de l’agencement produisent des déviations, des altérations, des suspensions du commun sensible, et nous permettent d’ouvrir notre présent à des formes non programmées de l’existence.

Research has consistently demonstrated the influential role of parental involvement in the academic success and overall well-being of students at various grade levels. This paper synthesizes and analyzes findings from a multitude of studies that underscore the significance of parents' active participation in their children's education.
Parental involvement and parent-school partnership strategies are critical factors to children’s academic success. In this qualitative case study, parents’, teachers’, and administrators’ perceptions of parental involvement and parent-school partnership strategies were examined in Lingmethang cluster schools under Mongar District, Bhutan. The study also focused on exploring the parents’ understanding of their involvement in schooling processes based on the six typologies of Epstein.
This study adopted a qualitative case study employing interview, observation and document analysis tools. A purposeful sampling method was used in the study. Nine parents, nine teachers, and nine administrators participated in the study. Data was collected and analyzed. The findings revealed that most parents are more involved in non-academic activities than academic activities. Barriers that parents, teachers, and administrators encountered in relation to school involvement and support are also noted. It was perceived that parental, school, and community involvement were important for children’s academic success and that parent-school partnerships and support were critically necessary.
By synthesizing and critically examining these findings, this paper contributes to a better understanding of the vital role parents play in shaping the educational journey of their children. It emphasizes the importance of fostering strong partnerships between schools and families to promote student success and holistic development. The implications of the research findings are also suggested for future research.

Current strategy for colorectal cancer (CRC) therapy like regular intake of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may reduce the risk of developing CRC but they induce the regression of adenomas. Even the CRC management technique include colectomy, have not yet been proven to reduce mortality. The present study aimed to reduce the susceptibility of CRC via controlling cellular oxidative stress, inflammation and caspase depended apoptosis in HT-115 human colorectal cancer cells using pistachio seed coat extract as nutritional therapy. Increasing concentrations of pistachio seed coat ethyl acetate extract (PSCE) were applied to HT-115 cells, which were incubated for 24 h and 48 h. The IC50 values were 14 mg/dl after 24 h, and and 7.5 mg/dl after 48 h. Acridine orange/ ethidium bromide staining confirmed the presence of 32% early apoptotic, 27% pre-apoptotic, 12% apoptotic, and 6% necrotic cells after 48 h. PSCE at 14 mg/dl significantly increased the antioxidant capacity via the expression of CYP1A and GSK3β, and decreased inflammatory agents via decreasing NF-κb, TNF-α, COX-2 and PGE-2 expression three-fold after 48 h. The expression of the tumor suppression related genes p53 and mdm2, and the apoptosis related genes Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase 3, p21, and PCNA levels increased one-fold, and levels of mdm2, Bcl-2 and PCNA decreased after PME treatment of 48 h. PSCE effectively controlled colon cancer cell proliferation via the caspase-dependent mitochondrial mediated apoptotic pathway.

ImportanceThere is a paucity of information on the association between clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with cancer, including those with multiple myeloma (MM) undergoing hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT), a population at high risk of developing CVD after HCT.ObjectiveTo examine the association between CHIP and CVD in patients with MM and to describe modifiers of CVD risk among those with CHIP.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis was a retrospective cohort study of patients with MM who underwent HCT between 2010 and 2016 at City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center in Duarte, California, and had pre-HCT mobilized peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) products cryopreserved and accessible for CHIP analyses. The study team performed targeted panel DNA sequencing to detect the presence of CHIP (variant allele frequency 2% or more).Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary end point was the 5-year cumulative incidence and risk for developing de novo CVD (heart failure, coronary artery disease, or stroke) after HCT.ResultsOf 1036 consecutive patients with MM (580 male [56%]; median age, 60.0 years) who underwent a first autologous HCT, 201 patients had at least 1 CHIP variant (19.4%) and 35 patients had 2 or more variants (3.4%). The 5-year incidence of CVD was significantly higher in patients with CHIP (21.1% vs 8.4%; P &amp;lt; .001) compared with those without CHIP; the 5-year incidence among those with 2 or more variants was 25.6%. In the multivariable model, CHIP was associated with increased risk of CVD (hazard ratio [HR], 2.72; 95% CI, 1.70-4.39), as well as of individual outcomes of interest, including heart failure (HR, 4.02; 95% CI, 2.32-6.98), coronary artery disease (HR, 2.22; 95% CI, 1.06-4.63), and stroke (HR, 3.02; 95% CI, 1.07-8.52). Patients who had both CHIP and preexisting hypertension or dyslipidemia were at nearly 7-fold and 4-fold increased risk of CVD, respectively (reference: no CHIP, no hypertension, or dyslipidemia).Conclusion and RelevanceCHIP was significantly and independently associated with risk of CVD in patients with MM undergoing HCT and may serve as a novel biologically plausible biomarker for CVD in this cohort. Patients with MM and both CHIP and cardiovascular risk factors had an exceptionally high risk of CVD. Additional studies are warranted to determine if cardiovascular preventive measures can reduce CHIP-associated CVD risk.
