The activation time of the masticatory muscles was not found to be shorter in the TMD patients than in the controls. Finally, the application of the electromyographic variable proposed in this study may not be considered useful to diagnose type Ia TMD in clinical practice. However, its application may be complementary to the history and physical examination of these patients.

Objective: to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of Guyanese individuals with type 2 diabetes regarding acute coronary syndrome and explore associations between these measures and the population’s sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Method: cross-sectional study conducted in Linden, Guyana, with sixty type 2 diabetics, interviewed using a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire and the Acute Coronary Syndrome-Response Index. The Mann-Whitney test was used to assess potential differences between groups according to the ACS-Response Index subscales, and sex, age, time since diabetes diagnosis, and body mass index and the Kruskal-Wallis test to compare the ACS-Response Index subscales according to educational level. Results: only two participants correctly answered more than 70% of the Knowledge subscale. Participants obtained low mean scores in all subscales. Less than half of the participants reported chest pain and arm pain as symptoms of heart attack. Significant differences were found when comparing Knowledge (p=0.008) and Attitudes (p=0.009) according to educational level. Conclusion: individuals with type 2 diabetes showed low level of Knowledge, Attitudes, and Beliefs. Participants who scored the highest in Knowledge and Attitudes presented the highest educational level. The results show a need for health professionals to heed knowledge deficits regarding acute coronary syndrome among type 2 diabetes.

Dentre os benefícios oriundos do engajamento dos acadêmicos universitários em projetos de extensão, destaca-se o fortalecimento do papel social e da cidadania, com o aprimoramento de habilidades e competências aprendidas em sua trajetória acadêmica. Este trabalho tem como objetivo relatar as experiências vividas por alunos de graduação e de pós-graduação da Escola de Enfermagem de Ribeirão Preto como monitores de um projeto de extensão universitária denominado “Programa Universitário Por Um Dia”, criado em 2016 mediante parceria da Escola de Enfermagem de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo (EERP-USP) com as Pró-Reitorias de Graduação e de Cultura e Extensão Universitária da USP. Diante dos relatos obtidos, os universitários arrolados no Programa tiveram a oportunidade de fortalecer suas habilidades de falar em público, organizar suas apresentações, aprimorar o relacionamento interpessoal com outros alunos, exercitar a capacidade de resolução de problemas, treinar a didática e organização pessoal. Durante a pandemia do COVID-19, as atividades do programa continuaram de maneira remota, onde os monitores colocaram todos seus aprendizados em prática e necessitaram adaptar os conteúdos. Essas atividades e desafios contribuíram para a construção diária das responsabilidades e consolidação profissional dos universitários e futuros docentes. Um dos indicadores de sucesso deste programa foi o ingresso na EERP-USP de três alunos do ensino médio, que visitaram o programa, e se tornaram monitores.

This paper aims to report the experiences of undergraduate and graduate students at the Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing as monitors of a university extension project called "University for a Day Program," created in 2016 through a partnership with the Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing at the University of São Paulo (EERP-USP) with the Dean of Undergraduate Studies and Culture and University Extension at USP. Based on the reports obtained, the university students enrolled in the Program had the opportunity to strengthen their public speaking skills, organize their presentations, improve their interpersonal relationships with other students, exercise their problem-solving skills, train didactics and personal organization. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Program's activities continued remotely, where monitors put all their learning into practice and needed to adapt the contents. These activities and challenges contributed to the daily construction of responsibilities and professional consolidation of university students and future teachers. One of the success indicators of this Program was the entry into the EERP-USP of three high school students who visited the Program and became monitors.
