BackgroundMetabolic syndrome (MetS) is an aggregation of risk factors associated with increased incidence of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and all-cause mortality. Information on MetS prevalence is scarce in the northeast region, Brazil. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of MetS according to different diagnostic criteria in a community sample of men during the November Blue Campaign living in the metropolitan area of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.MethodsThis is a cross-sectional study on 500 men aged 40 years or older invited by the Blue November Campaign of 2015, an awareness program aimed at the prevention of male diseases. The evaluation included blood pressure, anthropometric measurements (weight, height, and waist circumference), fasting blood glucose, and blood lipid profile. The diagnosis of MetS was made according to the criteria of International Diabetes Federation (IDF)/American Heart Association (AHA)/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), IDF, and National Cholesterol Education Program’s Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATPIII).ResultsThe prevalence was high by considering the following three criteria: IDF/AHA/NHLBI (66.8%), IDF (60.0%), and NCEP-ATPIII (46.4%). Concordance between diagnostic criteria measured by the kappa statistic (k) was excellent between IDF/AHA/NHLBI and IDF (k=0.85, P<0.0001) and moderate between IDF/AHA/NHLBI and NCEP-ATPIII (k=0.59) and IDF and NCEP-ATPIII (k=0.54).ConclusionPrevalence of MetS in the male population was high using the three diagnostic criteria. IDF/AHA/NHLBI and IDF criteria have a high level of agreement, but NCEP-ATPIII criteria identify a lower number of MetS cases.
RESUMOO objetivo deste artigo é avaliar o conhecimento adquirido sobre prevenção de incapacidades no controle da hanseníase pelos participantes de um grupo de autocuidado em um hospital de referência. Trata-se de estudo de natureza qualitativa, realizado em um hospital de referência em doenças infecto-contagiosas de Natal-RN, reunindo 16 membros de um grupo de autocuidado em hanseníase. Os dados foram coletados nos meses de setembro a novembro de 2012 por meio de uma questão aberta e adotou-se o método de análise de conteúdo de Bardin para analisar e interpretar as respostas obtidas. Dos achados emergiram as categorias: cuidados na prevenção de úlceras e no curativo; prevenção de quedas e reabilitação socioeconômica. Os resultados permitiram a constatação de que a participação dos usuários nas reuniões do grupo contribuiu significativamente para a aquisição do conhecimento sobre práticas de autocuidado. Palavras-chave: Hanseníase; Autocuidado; Enfermagem; Educação de Pacientes como Assunto. ABSTR ACT
Introduction: Leprosy is a disease that carried the characteristic of incurable and disfiguring for years, causing the social segregation of patients before the family and society.Objective: To describe the repercussion of segregation in the lives of children separated by leprosy who lived in Oswaldo Cruz School.Method: This is a qualitative study with the methodological referential Oral History of Life. The sample consisted of 52 family members of former patients segregated in the São Francisco of Assis Cologne Hospital, registered in the Reintegration Movement of People Affected by Leprosy in RN (MORHAN Potiguar). The network was structured from the zero point and consists of ten collaborators. Data were collected through individual interviews, which were recorded, transcribed and submitted to thematic content analysis.Results: Emerged four themes: broken ties (broach the consequences in family relationships established by the experience of having a relative affected by leprosy); stigmatized (emphasize the obstacles in social relationships experienced by family member of leprosy former patients, who although healthy, were victims of social exclusion, stigma and prejudice); primary school (reveals the bad treatment experienced in Oswaldo Cruz School, as well as the resilience process of education received); from leprosy to Hansen's disease (were presented reflections made by collaborators related to leprosy control policy in the past and present).
ResumoObjetivo: Avaliar a implantação da técnica de Buttonhole durante as sessões de hemodiálise em um serviço em Natal/RN-BR. Método: Estudo descritivo, exploratório e observacional. Utilizou-se um instrumento tipo check-list e escala analógica visual. Resultados: Dos 17 pacientes, 13 são do sexo masculino com peso seco variou entre 61 kg a 80 kg enquanto as mulheres apresentaram hipertensão arterial e insuficiência renal crônica como doença de base frente as variáveis sexo, idade, álcool e outras drogas, para ambos os sexos. Conclusão: Do ponto de vista da execução do Bottonhole o que houve uma maior frequência do acesso entre os sexos foi o radiocefálico. As intercorrências diretas e indiretas do botão foram mais frequentes no sexo masculino com calafrios e tremores, infecção do botão e sangramento do acesso.
Corn is a widely used crop for silage. However, due to the changes introduced in recent genotypes, regional information related to the agronomic production behavior and the chemical composition of the silage produced becomes necessary for the appropriate technological development destined to agricultural and animal production in the Amazon region. With this premise, the present study aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance of corn hybrids cultivated for silage production and the chemical composition of the ensiled material. The experiment was conducted from October 2020 to March 2021, under field conditions, in the experimental area of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rondonia, Colorado do Oeste Campus, in the municipality of Colorado do Oeste, RO, Brazil. The experimental design used was completely randomized, composed of six corn hybrids (GNZ7210 VTPRO2, AG8480 VTPRO3, BM3073 VTPRO3, BM270 VTPRO2, BM3066 VTPRO3 and BM3077 VTPRO3) and five replicates, cultivated at spacing of 0.80m between rows and 0.20m between plants. There was variation in the agronomic performance of the commercial corn hybrids for the southern region of Rondônia. The silages produced from the six corn hybrids showed bromatological and chemical characteristics that characterize them as silages of very good quality, despite showing significant differences in the percentages of DM, MM, CP, N-NH3/TN, NDF and ADF. The hybrid BM3073 PRO3 stood out for fresh matter yield, shoot N content and quality of the silage produced, which may result in the reduction of silage production costs.
Objective: verifying in the literature the scientific production about the feelings of women victims of burns. Method: we conducted searches in research databases, through a research protocol based on the steps of the integrative review method, establishing goals, guiding question, searching strategies, selection of studies, data collection and the creation of spreadsheet for a critical evaluation of the studies. Results: 70 articles were found, of which we selected 17 from the established inclusion criteria.

The burnt person goes through an experience of transformation in its appearance that it requires an adaptation, new insights, ideas and concepts, because the burn does not damage your physical appearance, but also the psicoemocional dimension is achieved. After the burn, the patient undergoes a painful process where your body is vulnerable and weakened by injuries, and his mind becomes stro...
OBJETIVO: analisar as narrativas que marcam a trajetória de vida dos doadores renais. METODOLOGIA: pesquisa exploratória, descritiva e de abordagem qualitativa. Após a apreensão e preparo analítico dos relatos gravados em áudio, por meio da técnica da história oral de vida, realizou-se a análise de conteúdo de Bardin que consiste das etapas: pré-análise, exploração do material ou codificação, tratamento dos resultados, inferência e interpretação dos eixos temáticos que emergiram. RESULTADOS: a amostra de 12 doadores renais que se submeteram ao transplante no Hospital Universitário Onofre Lopes-UFRN, respondeu às questões norteadoras: como era sua vida antes da doação renal? Como é sua vida após a doação renal? As narrativas convergiram para as temáticas “experiências vividas antes da doação renal” e “experiências vividas após a doação renal”. Os colaboradores enredaram o acometimento da doença como um momento trágico e a doação renal como meio de minimizar o sofrimento vivido pela família. CONCLUSÃO: os colaboradores reconhecem mais interferências positivas da doação renal, principalmente a melhoria na qualidade de vida dos doadores e o reconhecimento social da nobreza do ato da doação renal.
