Muito comumente escutam-se, no âmbito da universidade, reclamações sobre o nível de conhecimento e preparo dos nossos ingressantes na graduação. São deficiências de toda a ordem, destacando-se a incapacidade de interpretação e argumentação e o pouco empenho nos estudos. Sim, essas deficiências são de fato observadas. Mas a pergunta que devemos nos fazer é a seguinte: quem forma os professores que nos “entregam” esses alunos? Nós mesmos, universidade. Não raro, escutamos essas mesmas reclamações sobre nossos ingressantes no stricto sensu. Aí nossa responsabilidade, enquanto universidade, é ainda maior. Nós mesmos “entregamos” um estudante com sérias falhas de formação. Essas situações são parte de um mesmo problema e chamam para a reflexão sob nosso ensino superior.

Objective: To verify the prevalence of high obstructive sleep apnea in a group of night workers, and to describe their knowledge about OSA. Results: the mean body mass index of the individuals studied was 37.18 ± 4,48 Kg/m2, with the majority presenting grade II obesity. According to the Berlin questionnaire, 47.1% of the workers interviewed knew how to describe what OSA was. Discussion: it was found in our study that the extent to which age increases also increases the risk for OSA. None of the interviewees knew how to describe what OSA was and the lack of knowledge about this pathology elicited several problems related to it. Conclusion: 47.1% of the patients have high risk for OSA and all of them were older than 30 years and were included in the obese group. Of all those interviewed, no one could describe what AOS was, so little was its important.

The muscle power is reater to muscle fiber type II, glycolytic capacity and motor skills, but the anthropometric characteristics may be related to this ability. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between anaerobic peak power and thigh volume, as well as the association with others anthropometric variables. This study involved 28 male adolescents, practicing systematic basketball training, with a mean age of 15.16 ± 1.11 years in stages 3 and 4 of sexual maturation. Anthropometric measurements of leg and thigh, as well as the calculation of thigh volume were obtained by measuring the circumference and length following the protocol proposed by Sady. The anaerobic peak power was measured by Wingate test. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) were used to sample´s characterization. Pearson's binary correlation test was used to verify the degree of correlation between thigh volume and anaerobic peak power. A multiple linear regression analysis was performed to verify the correlation between anaerobic peak power and anthropometric variables. Significant correlations were found between the anthropometric variables and anaerobic power, and also a strong correlation between lean mass and thigh volume with relative and absolute power. By regression analysis the lean body mass determined 83% of the anaerobic power in these adolescents. The results indicates that anaerobic power is correlated to anthropometric measurements, and lean mass was crucial in anaerobic performance. Measurements of body lengths and their relation to other variables are relevant for future studies.

The objective of this study was to identify the mothers' perceptions about the practice of breastfeeding and the introduction of complementary feeding. Data collection took place from November to December 2016 and a semi-structured interview was used, with mothers being followed up by the Health and Community Center in the municipality of Palmas / Tocantins, based on guiding questions previously developed by the researchers. And subsequently transcribed for analysis of the results. Of the interviewees who had prenatal consultations, 73,91% mothers reported receiving guidance on the importance of breastfeeding and complementary feeding. Regarding the practice of the guidelines received in prenatal consultations, the most commented on by the mothers was about the Breastfeeding and the importance of exclusive breastfeeding for up to 6 months. The group related exclusive breastfeeding to the protection of the child's health, as well as the nutritional benefits of human milk, and despite receiving guidance and information during prenatal and gestational periods, it is possible to observe that mothers have limited knowledge regarding exclusive breastfeeding up to six months of age. In addition, the interviewees have an empirical knowledge when analyzing the perceptions about complementary feeding. There is a gap between the information being conveyed about breastfeeding and complementary feeding, which should be explained and more clearly worked out by health professionals in order to promote breastfeeding and complementaryfeeding more effectively.

University students spend most of their time at university and use the snack bar as the main food suppliers. Objective: The objective of this work was to evaluate the prevalence of microorganisms in different surfaces in food services in a higher education institution, as well assessment of the sanitary conditions of the sites evaluated. Methods: Two university lancherias were analyzed in six points: food production countertop, food delivery countertop, freezer puller, cutlery, box drawer puller and condiment sachets. The research included the analysis of total and thermotolerant coliforms, total count of aerobic mesophilic bacteria (CTBMA), molds and yeasts (BL), Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus coagulase positive and Bacillus cereus. The collections occurred in the months of March (28 °C) and May (17 °C) 2016. The investigation and identification of the conformities and nonconformities of the food preparation sectors in the snack shop was carried out by means of a Good Practices (GP) checklist for food services. Results and Discussion: In the hot period, Snack shop A presented microbial growth in the freezer handle (CTBMA and S. coagulase positive) and BL in the cutlery. In Snack shop B all the microbial growths (CTBMA, BL, total and thermotolerant coliforms and S. coagulase positive) occurred in the food production stand. In the cold period, in both snack shop, there was only the development of BL in the food production stand. In relation to the checklist, the general compliance results were 91.15% and 92.30% for snack shop A and B, respectively. Conclusion: The establishments presented levels of contamination higher than that of the American Public Health Association (APHA) (100 CFU/ surface), but the compliance was satisfactory. The research results reinforce the need for attitudes about improvements in the hygienic-sanitary conditions of the environment to ensure the safety of the food produced.

The blood transfusion is a vital and important therapy for many individuals, since the blood is a singular tissue that can´t be replaced by other substance, however the voluntary blood donation is the only source of provision. Although hemotherapy is indispensable to some clinical cases, and Brazil is considered a country of universal serological coverage, the blood recipient is subject to risk of contamination by transmissible infectious diseases via transfusion. In order to assure a higher number of blood donors and transfusion safety, besides inciting more volunteers to donate blood it is essential to reassess and improve the transfusion practices. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge about the relevance of the blood component donation, of the processes adopted as transfusion safety measure up to the destination of the blood to a recipient. For this purpose, 45 Physiotherapy students of sophomore year at Universidade Paranaense, Toledo – PR, participated in this survey, among them, 3 men and 42 women of an average of 20,3 years old (±3,4) years, volunteers, that answered a survey about the investigation of the knowledge about the act of the total blood donation. The results show 28,9% donors, most (38,5%) without specific frequency, 76,9% reported being aware about the action, 75% described themselves very knowledgeable, although some evidences inferred the opposite. Accordingly, it was possible to conclude that the researched issue must be discussed in further studies and that actions to clarify population about the blood donation are still necessary, assuring, this way, more safety and efficacy.

A segurança do paciente é definida como a redução do risco de danos desnecessários (eventos adversos), associados ao cuidado à saúde, a um nível mínimo aceitável (WORLD..., 2009). Relatos e preocupações com as questões de segurança do paciente são destacados desde Hipócrates (460 a 370 a.C.) como demonstrado pela célebre frase Primum non nocere – primeiro não cause o dano. E, ao longo da História, outros personagens históricos se destacaram devido à ênfase na temática segurança do paciente e qualidade, como Florence Nightingale, Ignaz Semmelweiss, Ernest Codman, Avedis Donabedian, John E. Wennberg, Archibald Leman Cochrane, entre outros (NEUHAUSER, 2003; BARR, 1955; ROBERTS; COALE; REDMAN, 1987; DONABEDIAN, 1990; WENNBERG, 2010; COCHRANE; BLYTHE, 1989, apud BRASIL, 2013b).

This study aims to describe the measure of the thickness of the adductor pollicis muscle (APM) as a predictor of the undernutrition in oncologic patients. This is a quantitative study of cross-sectional design with oncologic treatment patients with diagnosis of cancer of head and neck. The data were collected by a nutritional anamnesis application that discusses demographic data, clinical and anthropometrics. For anthropometric assessment, we used the following parameters: body mass index (BMI), arm circumference (AC), triceps skinfold (TSF), arm muscle circumference (AMC), corrected arm muscle area (CAMA), dominant adductor pollicis muscle (DAPM), non dominant adductor pollicis muscle (NDAMP) and weight loss percentage (%WL). The results indicate, higher prevalence of males (82.1%) with an average age of 64,57±12,52 years. As for the location of the tumor we found a higher prevalence of larynx cancer (28.6%), followed by cancer of the oral cavity (25%) and oropharynx cancer (17.9%). According to BMI, the majority of the patients were eutrophic (46.4%). Undernutrition was more prevalent through measures of AC, TSF, CAMA, DAPM AND NDAMP. It was diagnosed that 78.6% of the patients were undernourished according to the measure of the APM of the dominant and non-dominant hands. The results suggest that the AMP can be a sensible method to the identification on the undernutrition, however, more studies are necessary with the objective of verifying the effectiveness of this measure, thus providing, a greater understanding of the use of the same for these patients.

Water is considered a key substance for the existence of man and needs to have a good quality, even under conditions of water scarcity in order to prevent waterborne diseases mortality. The purpose of this study was to analyze and monitor the microbiological and physico-chemical quality of the water used by the resident population in the Itu city, in a situation of water scarcity, aiming at raising awareness of the population regarding the storage methods and appropriate water treatment to ensure consumer safety. Were prioritized the collections in five public water distribution points consisting of 20,000-liter boxes, "bica" (artesian well) and a water distribution system for pockets, in the period from October to December 2014, corresponding to the water shortage experienced by the population of this municipality. Water samples were analyzed by using the MPN (Most Probably Number) technique in the enumeration of total and thermotolerants coliforms and Escherichia coli, according to the American Public Health Association. Analysis showed that 100% contained total and thermotolerants coliforms and E. coli and the samples did not meet the requirements of the Brazilian Health Ministry regulation 2914/2011, which advocates the absence of E. coli in 100 mL of water. Within the context, it is proposed that the need for greater public attention and adoption of simple control measures in order to avoid intake of contaminated water by microorganisms responsible for waterborne diseases by part of the population.

Introduction: Warfarin is one of the most commonly used oral anticoagulants (OACs) in primary health care. With narrow therapeutic window, it exhibits great variability of pharmacological response, and great susceptibility of adverse events,such as bleeding and venous thromboembolism. Objectives: To carry out a review of the literature on pharmacotherapeutic follow-up of outpatients using warfarin. Method: This is a review study. The keywords used for the selection of the articles were: Warfarin, Therapeutic Monitoring, Clinical Pharmacy, Oral Anticoagulants. Results: The use of warfarin is associated with adverse events, with hemorrhages being the most frequent, which can be prevented with INR monitoring. Monitoring of blood coagulation is of paramount importance in controlling patient efficacy and adherence to anticoagulant treatment. In a multiprofessional outpatient clinic for patients receiving warfarin, an increase was observed in the percentage of patients with INR in the therapeutic range, with the prolongation of the follow-up time in the outpatient clinic. Patients attending anticoagulation clinics tend to present more INR values in the therapeutic range ranging from 60 to 88%. Another important result related to the clinics was the lower frequency of supra-therapeutic INRs and longer time in the therapeutic range. In addition, pharmacist follow-up may result in lower costs of care and adverse events related to anticoagulation, hospital admissions, and emergency services. When ACOs are administered by pharmacists, there appears to be a shorter time to therapy stabilization and a greater percentage of time in the therapeutic range, as well as a decrease in the frequency of medication errors, longer time in the therapeutic INR range, and reduction of Drug interactions.

This study aimed to evaluate the meals served to children from seven months to five years old, enrolled in a municipal nursery of Rio Grande do Sul, focusing on the nutritional needs according to age and the menu level of acceptance offered. Worked with the menu served during the week and portioning for each age group. As a reference to assess the supply of nutrients to children, were used the macro and micronutrient recommendations of the national Education Development Fund. The results showed that for students of nursery was vitamin A deficiency and sodium, for maternal was vitamin A deficiency and calcium and the preschool was deficient in most nutrients offered on the menu, except for protein, vitamin C and iron. The inadequacy of the food given to the children can be justified by a deficiency in the design of the proposed menu, lack of technical data sheets and training for handlers and the lack of cooperation from handlers to follow the menu proposed and elaborated by nutritionist.

The glutamate as one of the most abundant amino acids in the central nervous system (CNS) plays the role of main excitatory neurotransmitter. Thus, this review is to evaluate the relationship glutamate in the development of Huntington's disease (HD) through the excitotoxic process involving its mechanism of action, receptors and associated glutamate transporters. For this, we carried out a revie w of the literature in the VHL databases SciELO and Google Scholar. They were separated 53 articles, and selected 25. The other articles were excluded for not addressing the desired theme. The DH is a polyglutamine disease caused by a mutation in the gene encoding the protein Huntingitna. The mutant Huntingtin will promote a number of changes since the overstimulation of N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) to the involvement in the regulation of glutamate transporters 1 (GLT1), glutamate transporter and aspartate (Glast) and low levels of carriers subtype of excitatory amino acids 1 (EAAC1). Thus leading to neurodegeneration process by excitotoxicity by increased levels of glutamate. Thus, it would be necessary to act simultaneously on all the pathophysiology of levels to acquire more expertise in neurodegeneration mechanisms, particularly excitotoxicity by glutamate. In this sense, there is a need for a more targeted action to the pathophysiology of DH levels, in order to acquire new specific knowledge regarding the mechanisms of neurodegeneration, especially by glutamate excitotoxicity.

The Pharmaceutical Services is a fundamental part of the health care service. For its effective implementation in the context of the Unified Health System it is essential to have as a basic principle guiding the pharmaceutical services cycle, which must be properly planned to ensure the quality and effectiveness of services provided. In this context, the qualification of management is possible through the planning, organization and structuring of the developed activities group. That way, the Strategic Situational Planning appears as an instrument to achieve this objective, because it is a participatory method, that allows you to analyze reality, diagnose problems and develop strategies to solve a given situation. This study presents the case report of the lived experience through the development of an operating plan for Pharmaceutical Services of a municipality in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre. It can be said that planning is a management tool which, through analysis and discussion of reality, seeks to propose alternatives, identify ways to enable a transformation and take actions to implement the planned activities. The Strategic Situational Planning tool by drawing the operating plan and the interaction with the different actors in the workshop was very rich and contributed to the service organization

Introduction: Strength Training (ST) has been broadly used due to its benefits to the subjects. It presents many structures and methods, with different objectives. Objective: To compare the effects of the ascending and descending pyramid method in the net number of maximum repetitions (MR) produced in three series in the exercise curl machine in a strength training session. Methods: 10 young women (24,5 ± 8,5 years old; 53,9 ± 14,1 kg; 158 ± 7 cm) performed the strength training for at least six months. The data was obtained in four non -consecutive days during two weeks. For the ascending pyramid, it was performed three series with intensities of 70%, 80% and 90% of the load of 1MR, and for the descending pyramid the order of the intensity was the inverse, with an interval between series of three minutes. In order to analyse the difference between the methods, it was used the Student t-test with significance level of 5%. Results: There was no significant difference between the net numbers of maximum repetitions performed in both protocols. However, in the intensities of 90% and 80%, it was performed a greater number of maximum repetitions in the descending pyramid protocol. In the ascending pyramid protocol, on the other hand, there was a greater number of MR in the intensity of 70% compared to the descending pyramid method in the same intensity. Conclusion: Descending pyramid method would be beneficial for the adaptation in the transition of tensional trainings to the metabolic trainings and when he training is with progressive increasing of load volume, ascending pyramid method is pointed out to be more efficient

Self-medication is a common and widespread practice in all countries, and may delay the diagnosis and cure of diseases as well as contributing to adverse reactions and serious consequences. The goal is to update the health professionals and the general population in relation to the damage, sometimes irreversible, that irrational self-medication can cause, in order to avoid and reduce the high level of intoxication. A literature review was carried out in order to synthesize the national expatiate publications on the subject. 25 articles were analyzed the Lilacs, Scielo and Medline databases. According to the studies, the main reason for self-medication is in pain relief through painkillers. In relation to age group, all are exposed to self-medication, but children and the elderly are those with higher risks. It was also the high prevalence of self-medication among health care workers. In addition, the ease in acquiring medicines, lack of access to health services and lack of guidance are the main factors that lead to self-medication. Considering the results, it is necessary the creation of awareness programs about the rational use of medicines and health professionals to guide the population about the risks of this practice.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder characterized by a balanced translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22, which involves the fusion of the BCR/ABL genes, and this rearrangement known as the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph). It is a neoplasm with an incidence of 1-2 cases per 100,000 adults, and accounts for 15% of all leukemias. This disease progresses through three stages: initial chronic phase (CP), accelerated phase (AP) and final phase called blast crisis (PB). Currently, there are several treatment strategies adopted for Ph+ CML, including stem cell transplantation, use of busulfan, hydroxyurea, IFN-α and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (imatinib, nilotinib, and dasatinib busotinib). Imatinib mesylate is a first generation inhibitor capable of inhibiting the proliferation of cells of different lineages of hematopoietic of CML and progenitor cells. This drug has shown good efficacy in all phases of the disease, particularly in patients with newly diagnosed CML in chronic phase. The second generation inhibitors are effective and safe in the treatment at all stages, in patients who have failed therapy with imatinib. In this article, we performed a literature search with indexed material published after 2000. CML is not a curable disease with drug treatment, however through treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors have a high rate of overall survival.
