Introduction: Sepsis occurs when chemicals released into the bloodstream to fight an infection trigger inflammation throughout the body. Objective: To analyze the actions of nurses in the care of patients with septic shock in the Intensive Care Unit. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review. Online indexes were used, such as Scientific and Technical Literature of Latin America and the Caribbean, Online System for Search and Analysis of Medical Literature and the Nursing and Virtual Health Database, in Portuguese and English languages, in the period from 2017 to 2020.

Fruits have bioactive compounds, which can delay or inhibit the propagation of chain reactions generated by free radicals. The search for relevant sources of these bioactive compounds has drawn attention to the vast biodiversity of the Amazon biome represented by native and exotic fruits, with peculiar flavor and characteristics, which have in their composition phenolic compounds, flavonoids, carotenoids and other bio actives that act from the prevention to the treatment of clinical diseases.

The present study investigated and compared the diversity of two nearby streams with explicit differences in urban exploration. Pointing to richness, dominance and diversity models in both environments, the Jacubinha and Neblina streams, tributaries of the Lontra sub-basin and tributaries of the Araguaia-Tocantins Basin in eastern Amazon, north of the state of Tocantins. Sampling took place between 2014 and 2020, using multiple methodologies (nets, cast nets, hauling, scoops and sieves). reaching 1374 individuals of 85 identified species, distributed in 26 families, and 8 orders.

About 250 specialized cell types are organized into tissues, organs, and organsystems in the body of humans. Differentiation of cells both in structure & function generally depends on gene expression rather than on any changes in the nucleotide sequence of the cell’s genome. The key objective of this paper was to verify that no “junk DNA” at all in the human genome and to confirm the fact that the synthesizer of generations of Homo sapiens & of all other genomic-things is the Genome.

This study presents the development of a practical model to evaluate the perception of Project Management Office value as seen by project managers. Questions compiled through literature review and interaction with project managers are presented first. An exploratory factor analysis was used to define the best grouping of the items within factors that could be interpretable under the reviewed literature. To evaluate the efficacy of the proposed model, we performed a confirmatory analysis using the Partial Least Square variant of the Structural Equation Modeling.

The objective of this study was to propose recommendations and protocols that can prevent or minimize contagion by Covid-19 and provide security for educational establishments to operate. Qualitatively and descriptively, the proposal took into account three possible scenarios: social isolation; gradual adaptation to the resumption of on-site activities with the imminence of the virus; and post-Covid-19 educational reality.
