Caracterização sóciodemográfica e clínico-epidemiológica de pacientes sépticos

Refere-se a sepse como uma síndrome potencialmente fatal causada pela resposta orgânica desregulada do hospedeiro a uma infecção. O choque séptico, corresponde ao agravamento desta resposta, com alto risco de morte. Além do impacto socioeconômico, da mortalidade e prevalência relacionados, torna-se indispensável conhecer o perfil clinico-epidemiológico desta síndrome por conceber oportunidades para sua prevenção e otimização das estratégias de tratamento.

Origin, domestication, taxonomy, botanical description, genetics and cytogenetics, genetc diversity and breeding of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

The chickpea or chick pea (Cicer arietinum) is an annual legume of the family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae. Its different types are variously known as gram or Bengal gram, chhana, chana, or channa, garbanzo or garbanzo bean, or Egyptian pea. Also known as ceci beans, Indian peas, kadale kaalu, sanaga pappu, and shimbra. The Sanskrit name for chickpea is chennuka, and hence, the name chana in the Sanskrit-derived languages such as Hindi. Chickpea is a cool season legume crop grown world- wide as a food crop. The seed is the main edible part of the plant.

Evaluation of the action and properties of thermoplastic starch / titanium dioxide / graphene nanocomposites obtained through spray drying for fruit covering

In this study, nanoparticles of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and graphene were incorporated into a matrix of thermoplastic starch (TPS) obtained from cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) with the objective of producing a material for covering fruit, aiming to last the shelf life of food. The polymeric nanocomposites (NCPs) were obtained by the solvent dispersion method and, subsequently, the spray drying technique was used to obtain the material in powder form.

Queijo artesanal de baixo valor calórico enriquecido com óleo fitogênico do fruto de buriti (Mauritia flexuosa L.).

O objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver queijos artesanais, enriquecidos com diferentes concentrações de óleo de buriti (Mauritia flexuosa L.). Foram produzidas 5 formulações, um padrão sem óleo e quatro enriquecidas com 1%, 2%, 3%, e 4% de óleo de buriti. Realizaram-se análises de umidade, lipídios, proteínas, cinzas, carboidratos, acidez total titulável, pH e foi calculado o valor calórico dos queijos. Também foram realizadas análises microbiológicas de coliformes totais, salmonelas e bolores e leveduras. Os queijos foram classificados pela legislação como sendo de muita alta umidade.

Consequence of vigna unguiculata vegetables on production, productivity and soil health management

Cow pea (Vigna unguiculata) is an annual herbaceous legume vegetable crop comes under family Fabaceae which is liberal to sandy to silt soil, low rain fall and an important crop of African and Asian countries. Due to its ability to grow by using less agricultural input, able to fix atmospheric nitrogen in root nodule and acts as a valuable crop for poor and marginal farming communities its cultivation is increasing Day by Day. Cow pea is also suitable as a best inter crop in fruit orchard, with other vegetables, flowers and plantation crops.

Apresentação dos saberes tradicionais das parteiras na obstetrícia

Diante da apresentação dos saberes das parteiras tradicionais, benzedeiras, curandeiras e rezadeiras da Amazônia o modo de assistência ao parto pode ser modificado de forma positiva. Esse trabalho tem como objetivo demonstrar a influência dos saberes amazônicos acerca do partejar. Esse trabalho trata-se de uma revisão narrativa da literatura, manuseando os arquivos das bases de dados Scielo, Lilacs, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e Medline.

Efficiently adsorptive removal of ciprofloxacin from water by using cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose

A series of cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose adsorbents (CCMCs) with different degrees of carboxymethyl substitution (the molar ratios of cellulose and chloroacetic acid were 1:0.7, 1:1, 1:1.2 and 1:1.5, respectively) were synthesized through etherification and crosslinking, and were used for the removal of a popular antibiotic, ciprofloxacin (CIP) from water. CCMCs presented high adsorption capacity for CIP owing to the electrostatic adsorption and hydrogen bonding interactions.

Implementação do protocolo de profilaxia de tvp e tep em hospital de marabá

A realidade do Hospital Municipal de Marabá aponta para usuários do Sistema Único de Saúde que não recebem um tratamento profilático para Tromboembolismo Venoso, além disso, esses eventos também são descritos como importante causa de morte hospitalar que pode ser prevenida, além de ser a terceira causa de morte por doença cardiovascular. O objetivo do presente artigo é relatar a experiência da implantação de um protocolo de profilaxia para TEV, que buscou melhorar o serviço do hospital.

Potential to storage the excessive energy trom wind energy through ammonia in the northeast of Brazil

The northeast region of Brazil is experimenting an increasingly large percentage of power is being generated from wind energy. This increase in the use of wind energy, this being an intermittent energy, together with the reduction of reservoirs of energy accumulation in this region, increases the need to find different sources of energy storage. Ammonia is one of the best candidates wanting to reduce the carbon emissions for energy storage, making it with hydrogen by water electrolysis.
