Objetivos: Traçar o perfil epidemiológico da Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica em uma população de zona urbana. Métodos: Estudo descritivo, transversal, com abordagem quantitativa, desenvolvido nas unidades básicas de saúde (UBS) da zona urbana do município de Aldeias Altas-MA. A amostra foi composta por 228 hipertensos cadastrados no programa Hiperdia e acompanhados pela Estratégia Saúde da Família Resultados: O perfil predominantemente encontrado no estudo revelou indivíduos hipertensos do sexo feminino, raça/cor negra, casados, analfabetos, lavradores, com renda mensal de até um salário mínimo, sedentários, não etilistas e não tabagistas, com sobrepeso. Com relação ao estágio da HAS, a maioria encontrava-se com hipertensão leve. Diagnóstico desta patologia há mais de 10 anos, e estes têm hábito de consultar-se uma vez por mês com médico. Antecedentes familiares com hipertensão. A doença associada que apresentou destaque foi DM. E como forma de tratamento da HAS, a maioria realizava dieta (controle do sal) e uso de medicamentos (IECA), mas que não apresentavam aderência ao tratamento. Conclusão: Notou-se que é necessário prestar assistência diferenciada no âmbito da atenção primária, a fim de reduzir a prevalência da hipertensão, no intuito de modificar o estilo de vida e/ou possíveis fatores de riscos e, consequentemente, diminuir a morbimortalidade ocasionada por complicações da HAS.
Passion fruit, a well-known and commercialized fruit, is currently the target of studies that show its nutritional properties, namely its bark, rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, specifically soluble fibers, which bring benefits such as glycemic control and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Due to the high rate of disposal of passion fruit peels, the use of the same in bakery products is an alternative to avoid its waste, taking advantage of the fruit in its entirety. The aim of this study was to prepare the biscuits with the flour from the shell of the passion fruit. This is an experimental, cross-sectional and quantitative study that was developed in the laboratories of Dietary Technique and Sensory Analysis of Food of the University Center of Science and Technology of Maranhão - UNIFACEMA, located in the city of Caxias - MA. The sensory analysis of the product was performed with 62 untrained evaluators, using the 9-point hedonic scale and 5-point purchase intention, by signing the TCLE. Microbiological analysis was performed to determine the microbiological conditions of the product. The results obtained show that of the three samples (A, B and C) developed, two (A and B) obtained acceptance by the evaluators. The results of the microbiological analysis indicated that the three samples are in accordance with current legislation. Therefore, the preparation of the biscuit proved to be a technological potential in the bakery market and as a healthy, sustainable and economic food option.
Influenza is an extremely contagious respiratory disease, which predominantly affects the upper respiratory tract. There are four types of influenza virus, and pigs and chickens are considered two key reservoirs of this virus. Equine influenza (EI) virus was first identified in horses in 1956, in Prague. The influenza A viruses responsible for EI are H7N7 and H3N8. Outbreaks of EI are characterized by their visible and rapid spread, and it has been possible to isolate and characterize H3N8 outbreaks in several countries. The clinical diagnosis of this disease is based on the clinical signs presented by the infected animals, which can be confirmed by performing complementary diagnostic tests. In the diagnosis of EI, in the field, rapid antigen detection tests can be used for a first approach. Treatment is based on the management of the disease and rest for the animal. Regarding the prognosis, it will depend on several factors, such as the animal's vaccination status. One of the important points in this disease is its prevention, which can be done through vaccination. In addition to decreasing the severity of clinical signs and morbidity during outbreaks, vaccination ensures immunity for the animals, reducing the economic impact of this disease.
Regarded as infrequent, vaginal and cervical endometriosis is probably more common than is generally realized. The apparent rarity of the lesion may be ascribed to the limited awareness of its clinical appearance, combined with technical difficulty in obtaining suitable biopsy material for confirmation. Thus, clinical recognition and tissue confirmation become essential. This paper focuses on vaginal and cervical endometriosis, documenting the clinical, macroscopic, cytological and colposcopic findings in 4 cases seen at a single physical vaginal examination. Diagnosis in these patients was facilitated and improved by fine needle aspiration cytology and confirmed by histology. This technique, which is not used for the diagnosis of endometriosis, could be an option in low-income areas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
