A avaliação do estado nutricional é um procedimento complexo, sobretudo no nordeste brasileiro onde predominam duas realidades distintas: a desnutrição e o sobrepeso/obesidade. Esta situação complica-se quando nos reportamos para gestantes, quando a qualidade das consultas de pré-natal realizadas por enfermeiros é de grande importância. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar os indicadores clínicos contidos nos registros de enfermagem de gestantes que apresentaram os diagnósticos de enfermagem nutrição desequilibrada que realizaram o pré-natal num Centro de Parto Natural. Foram avaliados 116 prontuários dos quais encontramos 90 registros dos diagnósticos em questão. Os resultados demonstraram que os acadêmicos e profissionais utilizaram inadequadamente a taxonomia da NANDA, construindo os diagnósticos de forma inacurada, deixando de utilizar características consideradas importantes. Conclui-se que existe a necessidade de maior atenção ao registro das características definidoras destes diagnósticos. 

The nutritional status evaluation is a complex procedure, mainly in the northeast of Brazil where two distinct realities are predominant: The malnutrition and the overweight / obesity. This situation is complicated when it comes to pregnancy, where the quality of prenatal consultations performed by nurses has a great importance. The main goal of this study was to analyze the clinical indicators contained in the nursing records of the pregnant women that presented the nursing diagnoses of unbalanced nutrition and performed the prenatal in a Center of Natural Childbirth. 116 Records were evaluated and among them we found 90 diagnosis records at issue. The results demonstrated that the academic and professionals used inadequately the NANDA taxonomy building diagnosis inaccurately, leaving out characteristics which are considered important. We may so conclude that there is the need to increase attention to the records of the defined characteristics of such diagnosis.  

A vasectomia consiste em um método cirúrgico eficiente e seguro, entretanto, há a rejeição do homem quanto ao procedimento. No estudo foram pesquisadas as causas de resistência do homem à vasectomia, seu conhecimento sobre efeitos colaterais, características sociais, biológicas e tocoginecológicas da companheira e do sujeito pesquisado em relação ao uso dos métodos anticoncepcionais (MAC). Foi realizado um estudo descritivo-exploratório, de prevalência do tipo corte transversal, no Ambulatório de uma Instituição hospitalar no Recife, com homens acompanhantes de suas companheiras à consulta, no mês de outubro de 2003, totalizando 100 homens. A coleta de dados ocorreu com formulário próprio e os dados analisados por meio do EPI-INFO. A resistência à possível realização do procedimento de vasectomia foi de 55% e devido ao desejo futuro de procriação por parte dos homens (45,5%). Conclui-se que a maioria dos que se negaram a realizar a vasectomia o fizeram por pretenderem ter mais filhos (45,5%).

The Ocotea puberula (Rich.) Nees (Lauraceae) (popular name is canela-guaiacá) is rich in secondary metabolites, among them, the alkaloids. Dicentrine is an alkaloid from O.puberula and have pharmacological actions such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anxiolytic and antimalarial. The objective of this work was to investigate the antioxidant and biological potential of the alkaloid dicentrine isolated from the galls of Ocotea puberula. To evaluate the antioxidant potential, the techniques of the formation of the phosphomolybdenum complex, Prussian blue and the reduction of DPPH• were used and the biological activity was evaluated using Artemia salina, sheep erythrocytes, Aedes aegypti larvae and two target species. The phosphomolybdenum method showed an antioxidant potential of 90.68% compared to rutin, 30.88% compared to BHT and 16.62% compared to ascorbic acid. By the DPPH• method it presented IC50 = 943.11 µg.mL-1, indicating low antioxidant potential. When evaluating dicentrine in Artemia salina, a low toxic potential and a non-hemolytic effect were verified in sheep erythrocytes. In the larvicidal activity in Aedes aegypti, dicentrin showed LC50 = 23.62 µg.mL-1. On Lactuca sativa, dicentrine did not influence germination, IVG and hypocotyl growth, but root growth was stimulated with 250 µg.mL-1 and inhibited with 500 µg.mL-1. On Allium cepa dicentrine with 25 and 100 µg.mL-1 stimulated the germination percentage and the GVI. The growth of the Allium cepa root was not influenced, however, the coleoptile was stimulated with 25 µg.mL-1 and inhibited with 50 µg.mL-1. After evaluating the results presented in the chosen tests, it was observed that dicentrine has a larvicidal and allelopathic potential.

Purpose: This study disseminates the diagnosis of COVID-19 emphasizing the importance of imaging tests in medical interpretation and identification of its complications, besides demonstrating the contribution to patient care. Methodology: The study was conducted based on a literature review, in addition to the acquired results of imaging tests from clinical patients at a Public Hospital of the State of Sergipe, Brazil, to point the scoring system in thorax radiography and compare to computed tomography (CT). Results: The imaging tests are not indicated for patients with mild symptoms and suspected COVID-19 infection, except for risk of disease progression, being indicated in the complementary diagnosis of COVID-19 positive patients. Studies show that thorax radiography is more used because it has low cost and easy access. However, its use has limitations due to the low sharpness of the images and impossibility of visualization of some lesions. Computed tomography, on the other hand, can be used as a pulmonary monitoring and evolution test in patients with COVID-19 worsening and/or persistent homeostatic changes. Nevertheless, this test is not indicated for acute cases without aggravating symptoms. Conclusion: The high degree of dissemination of SARS-CoV-2 and the collapse of health systems demonstrated the importance of the science in health. In addition, the importance of laboratory tests in the diagnosis of virus infection and imaging tests in the early diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia has been shown as efficient complementarity in the evolution and clinical interpretation of patients, highlighting the importance of radiography and CT exams.

Introduction: Prenatal care should be based on the quality of care, comprehensiveness and humanization for health promotion, prevention of diseases or injuries and recovery of maternal and neonatal health. The valorization of the woman's opinion about the decisions that involve her therapeutic plan is relevant and timely; therefore, this article aims to understand the meanings attributed by pregnant women to the prenatal care performed by nurses. Methodology: This is an exploratory, descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, with twelve pregnant women registered in a Family Health Strategy program in the northern region of the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Data collection took place through semi-structured interviews, analyzed according to thematic content analysis. Results: two thematic categories emerged from the findings: a) giving meaning to the gestational period and prenatal care; and b) the quality of the prenatal nursing consultation. Conclusion: the results suggest that the prenatal care performed by a nurse and the importance of the prenatal care quality were considered as an important and necessary process. The women felt motivated by the nurses’ care and attention in the consultations, especially when the professionals clarified the women’s doubts. In addition, it fosters the discussion on nursing entrepreneurship initiatives and the strengthening of the professional category and professional identity, which have been constant in the various health services.

The nutritional requirements of vegetables have caused losses to small and medium-sized family farmers in terms of reduced productivity and food security in society. In this sense, the objective was to evaluate the development of okra (Abelmoschus escurentes L.) and cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plants, using sheep manure associated with phosphate rock and gliricídia and the quantification of the levels of N, P and K in plant structures. The experiment was conducted at the Federal Institute of Science and Technology of Roraima - Campus Novo Paraíso, in a greenhouse, using pots with a capacity of 6 L-¹, filled with soil (Neosolo) collected from the 0-20 cm layer. The experimental design was a randomized block, with treatments arranged in a 2x2 factorial, composed of two levels of gliricídia (without gliricídia (S / G) and (with gliricídia (C / G) and two levels of phosphate rock (without rock) (S / R) and (with rock (C / R), with four repetitions, being distributed in the blocks in a completely randomized way. A dose of sheep manure, corresponding to 25 t ha-1, was added to the pots. The variables determined in the study were: plant height (cm), stem thickness (mm), number of leaves, fruit diameter (mm), fruit length (cm), fruit weight (g) and the contents of N, P and K in the plant and in the fruits The results found for the different treatments showed no differences It was observed that the standardization of the fertility of the pots directly interfered in the statistical results, this way, the farmers can renounce the use of the leaf of the gliricídia and of the rock phosphate, as long as he has sheep manure available.
