title: Ban on blood donation from homoaffective people: a bioethical study

description: Abstract This study aimed to identify and discuss bioethical aspects that involve the ban on blood donation from homo-affective people. This is an integrative review of the literature, with a critical-reflexive approach to articles available in the Virtual Health Library and published between 2013 and 2018. Seven studies were selected that covered the theme, from which four categories emerged: “unfit for blood donation”; “are homosexuals the only ones who practice anal sex?”; “public health or heterosexism in health?”; and “considerations of principlist bioethics for blood donation from homo-affective people”, referring to the four pillars of the principlist theory. Bioethics promotes social reflections, directs lines of thought or questioning and creates new avenues for discussing the subject. The dilemmas involved in this approach are related to the denial of the four bioethical pillars to homoaffective subjects, inducing maleficence to this vulnerable group and to blood tissue recipients.

title: Quality of life and treatment adherence in hypertensive patients: systematic review with meta-analysis

description: ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To verify the effects of antihypertensive treatment (pharmacological and non-pharmacological) on the health-related quality of life of individuals with hypertension. METHODS We conducted a systematic review with meta-analysis using the following databases: IBECS, LILACS, SciELO, Medline, Cochrane, Science Direct, Scopus and the Brazilian Capes Theses and Dissertations Database. The statistical analysis was performed using Review Manager, version 5.2. The average difference was used for the summarization of meta-analytic effect by the fixed-effect model. Twenty studies were included. RESULTS The summarization of the effect showed an average increase of 2.45 points (95%CI 1.02–3.87; p &lt; 0.0008) in the quality of life of individuals adhering to non-pharmacological treatment for arterial hypertension. Adherence to pharmacological treatment indicated an average increase of 9.24 points (95%CI 8.16–10.33; p &lt; 0.00001) in the quality of life of individuals with arterial hypertension. CONCLUSIONS Non-pharmacological treatment improves the overall quality of life and physical domain of people with arterial hypertension. Adherence to pharmacological treatment has a positive impact on the mental and physical domains of patients, as it did on the overall quality of life score.

title: New flavonoid with antidiabetic and antioxidant potential from Tetrastigma angustifolia (Roxb.) Deb leaves

description: Ethnomedicinal survey documents the traditional practices of Tetrastigma angustifolia leaves in the management of diabetes in the North-eastern region of India. The present study was aimed at isolation of possible antidiabetic principle(s) from T. angustifolia leaves and evaluation of antidiabetic efficacy of isolated compound(s) in experimental animal model. The methanolic extract of T. angustifolia leaves was obtained by Soxhlet extraction method and subjected to silica gel column chromatography (100-200 mesh). Fraction 18-176 chloroform:methanol (70:30) yielded a pale yellow colored compound. The structure of pure compound was elucidated with the help of UV, IR, NMR and Mass spectrometric/techniques. The antioxidant activity of the isolated compound was evaluated in vitro by various radical scavenfing assay methods.. Oral acute toxicity study was carried out according to OECD guideline 423 in Wistar rats. The antidiabetic efficacy of the isolated compound was evaluated in STZ-induced diabetic rats at the dose of 5 mg/kg b.w. for duration of 21 days. The present study reports a new flavocnoid compound isolated from the methanolic extract of T. angustifolia leaves and identified as 8-hydroxyapigenin 7-O-D-glucopyranoside. The flavonoid compound exhibited potent antidiabetic (hypoglicemic) activity in STZ-induced diabetic rats with promising antioxidant (radical scavenging activity) potential in vitro.

title: The opinion of elders who attend third age groups about sexually-communicable diseases and HIV/AIDS

description: ABSTRACT STD and HIV/AIDS are affections that affect a huge part of population. This study tried to identify the knowledge of elder, who attend third age groups, have about STDs and HIV/AIDS. It is a quantitative, transversal research. Data was collected through interviews. The study was carried out in 2006, and 52 elderly people, living in Ijuí City, Brazil, took part in it. After codification, data were descriptively analyzed. Information shows predominance of females (61,54%), ages ranging from 60 to 69 years-old (73,08%), with no completion of elementary school (59,61%), and married (40,38%). Most of them have already heard about these affections, and the major information sources are: television (88,46%) and health professionals (51,92%). When the subject is HIV, known preventive methods are: the use of condom (73,07%) and having only one sexual partner (46,15%). It is interesting that 25% of the elderly ones do not know that a person with a healthy appearance can be an HIV bearer, and 34,62% say that they know people who bear this morbid disease. When they were asked about the STD they knew, they mentioned: Aids (63,46%), gonorrhea (38,46%), syphilis (28,84%), chancroid (3,46%), genital wart (11,53%); 71,15% informed that they did not do the test to detect HIV; 73,07% do not consider themselves as people in risk to contract these diseases, and 38,48% say they never use preservatives during intercourse. Data show that the prevention campaigns do not reach this part of population, what should be a concern, since many elders have active sexual life.

title: PERSONAL ORGANIZATIONAL WELL-BEING AND QUALITY OF ORGANIZATIONAL LIFE: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: To test models of mediation and moderation of the organizational culture, competing values and styles of organizational operation having quality of organizational life (QOL) as antecedent and personal organizational well-being (POW) as consequent. Originality/value: Literature has presented tests of mediation/moderation models to understand well-being of employees and support leadership in the implementation of strategies that fit into the organizational realities. Organizational culture has been used as a component variable of some of those models. However, no publication investigating culture as mediator/moderator of the quality of life/well-being relation was found. Design/methodology/approach: Quantitative, transversal survey employing scales that present evidences of psychometric validity applied to 1,292 employees (81%) of the population in a public organization. Two mediation models and two moderation models were tested through multiple regression. Findings: The results of the linear and hierarchic regression analyses used to test the proposed models showed that, except for the bureaucratic culture, all types of culture had significant power of mediation between the variables of QOL and POW. No moderation relation was found. The empirical evidences of the models tests point out the need for considering cultural traits of organizations in the design of strategies of intervention related to QOL and POW, since some may be more applicable to given cultures and less applicable to others.

title: Effectiveness of acupuncture for temporomandibular disorders and associated symptoms

description: ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Temporomandibular disorder is defined as a set of clinical problems involving masticatory muscles, temporomandibular joint and associated structures. For having multifactorial etiology, several treatments are proposed and successfully used. However, most recommended therapies are those reversible and noninvasive, which should be the first choice to treat temporomandibular disorders. This study aimed at discussing acupuncture to treat temporomandibular disorders and associated symptoms. CONTENTS: This is a review of 34 articles published between 1983 and 2015. Since acupuncture aims at returning balance to body and harmony between physical and psychical parts by stimulating specific points, it may be considered therapy of choice to treat temporomandibular disorders. In TMD patients, evidences have shown efficacy in increasing temporomandibular joint movement amplitude, accelerating serotonin, encephalin and endorphin release, thus favoring masticatory muscles relaxation and pain relief. According to recent articles, most commonly used points for this purpose are: ST6, ST7, SJ21, SJ17, SI18, Taiyaing and Yintang (face and head) and LI4 (extrafacial). CONCLUSION: Acupuncture is as effective to control facial pain as conventional Western therapies. It is considered useful, of low cost and provides better quality of life to patients treated with this technique.

title: Survey of hearing disorders in an urban population in Rondonia, Northern Brazil

description: OBJECTIVE: To identify the prevalence of hearing loss for the population in the urban area. METHODS: A cross-sectional household survey based on the World Health Organization Ear and Hearing Disorders Survey Protocol was conducted in 298 households in the urban area of Monte Negro, Rondonia, Northern Brazil, from 2005 to 2007. Ear examinations, behavioral audiometry and pure tone audiometry were conducted on 577 individuals. RESULTS: The results showed that 3.8% (95%CI 2.17;5.45) of population were classified in the disabling hearing impairment category. The prevalence of moderate hearing impairment was 3.4%; severe impairment was 0.4%; and profound hearing impairment was not found. CONCLUSIONS: The impairing hearing loss prevalence found in this study is within of the international prevalence for this level of hearing loss and smaller than observed in a previous study in the South region of Brazil.

title: Quality of life, depression and cognition based on gerontological education mediated by a pole radio in homes for the aged

description: Objective: to identify the changes in the quality of life, cognition and depression from gerontological education workshops mediated by a pole radio in long-term institutions for the aged. Methodology: Observational qualitative and quantitative study, including descriptive and association variables. After a pilot study with an elderly group we selected four institutions for convenience and the elderly whose characteristics met the inclusion criteria. We applied questionnaires related to quality of life, depression, cognitive status, socio-demographic characteristics and technological reality. To analyze the effects of pre-and post-intervention process, descriptive and analytical statistics were performed, making the nonparametric Mann-Whitney, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Fisher exact, Cronbach's alpha, linear Spearman correlation, all of them with level significance of p≤0.05. We developed radio scripts for the workshops, held eight meetings in each institution, twice a week, two hours each, for six months. Results: There were increases in the life quality and cognition, in a statistically significant way in the domains classified as recreation, intimacy, and in the immediate memory. Conclusion: The significant gains in quality of life and cognition achieved suggest that this practice can be valid to improve the conditions of the health of elderly in long-term institutions for the aged.
