The vertical transmission (VT) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may be reduced by using antiretroviral therapy (ART) during pregnancy. The objective of this study was to assess adherence to ARV and the effectiveness of preventive measures used in HIV positive pregnant women. This cross-sectional descriptive study evaluated HIV-positive pregnant women by reviewing the medical records. Demographic data, clinical test results and calculated adherence to ART were collected. The study included 37 HIV positive pregnant women. Whereas the treated women (n=35), the rate of VT was 2.8%. The average viral load presented by pregnant women during pregnancy was 4144.6 copies / mL of blood and the average count of CD4 + T-lymphocytes was 561.6 cells/mm3. Pregnant women with higher rates of adherence showed the highest counts of LT-CD4 +, reflecting the effectiveness of treatment. With regard to treatment adherence, this showed a declining trend as increasing maternal age. Conclusion: Adherence to ART during pregnancy, at delivery and during the first days of the newborn’ life and not breastfeeding are effective measures to control the VT of HIV.

The internship is a student step that allows the complementation of education in the practice and approximates the student into the world of work. The theme supervised curricular internship is being addressed in the several research areas, with the majority of studies in the healthy area; however, there are few studies about on the supervised internship in technical education. The objective of this project is to point and analyze the level of importance anda satisfaction of supervised internship for nurse technician related to the supervised internship. The scientific research was realized by survey data, through the application of 34 questionnaires to trainees students attending nursing technical course in a state institution of technical education in Campos / RJ between April and May 2013. After the survey data, the analysis was done using statistical methods: simple satisfaction, GAP analysis and importance versus satisfaction and dissatisfaction weighted. At the end of the research it was found that the statistical methods used indicated as critical items "value of the stipend", "participation in training/lectures" "exchange with professionals of the area " and "possibility of effecting" demonstrating that for the trainees of nurse technical course surveyed the internship is not fully complying with its objectives, of practical learning and the approximation of the labor market.

A Fisioterapia dermato – functional is an area within the physical therapy that aims to treat aesthetic pathologies, promoting these women's well-being and a better quality of life. The current Russian associated with cinesioterapia, has been a widely used resource for treating muscle flaccidity and muscular hypotonia, of produce muscle hypertrophy and fortification with better results and soon. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the association the current Russian and resistive exercise the gluteus maximus muscle. Characterized as an experimental research with a volunteer aged 21 years. The voluntary held 24 sessions three times a week in a period of two months, lasting an average forty minutes each session. were analyzed the circumference of the hip region, and the quality of the muscles of the gluteal region, through the clamping test. The results were favorable the use of current Russian associated with cinesioterapia improvement in hip circumference, causing an increase in muscle mass and improving muscle flaccidity.

Cellulite is characterized as a disorder that occurs in the subcutaneous tissue or hypodermis, which causes changes in the skin surface, caused by excess fat cells in adipose tissue that spreads throughout the dermis heading toward the epidermis forming ripples of cellulite or nodules. Ultrasound is a device that is currently being widely used in the treatment of edema fibro geloid (EGF), bringing benefit to the rearrangement of collagen fibers and improves tissue. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of the ultrasound phonophoresis ally in reducing edema fibro geloid (EGF) in the gluteal region. The instruments used for data collection and analysis was the evaluation form and photographic record , which was conducted with a female patient , 23 years old, grade II presenting in the gluteal area. The patient underwent 20 sessions of treatment, done 2 times a week with application of ultrasound at a frequency of 3 MHz and intensity of 0.5 W / cm ² , continuous mode with 1 minute each quadrant coupling ERA, associated with phonophoresis with the use of electrode based on arnica, centella asiatica, chestnut India, yerba mate and ginger . The physical therapy response was satisfactory without contracting the glutes and orange peel and hold tests. It is concluded that the ultrasound phonophoresis associated improves the skin's appearance and frame of cellulite with satisfaction by the patient.

This work refers to a bibliometric analysis of the study addressing the application of text mining in medical reports. The aim of the paper is to conduct a bibliometric survey that was conducted by Journal Portal Capes. The survey was conducted having as keyword research "Mining Text Information Extraction Medical Reports". Initial research using only the keyword got 1,190 records, 1,636 being refined by top-level peer-reviewed journals results. Refinements were applied before the results found, resulting in 47 items , as described in this work . At the end of thorough analysis of the selected articles, 10 papers were considered to form the core for your research, this analysis that demonstrates and proves the effective and satisfactory application of the use of text mining applied to medical reports, providing opportunities for a positive discussion using the technique of text mining in healthcare.
