[Opportunistic screening actions for breast cancer performed by nurses working in primary health care]. / Rastreamento oportunístico do câncer de mama desenvolvido por enfermeiros da atenção primária à saúde.

OBJECTIVE: To identify opportunistic screening actions for breast cancer performed by nurses working in primary health care units in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo. METHOD: Cross-sectional study with 60 nurses from 28 units, who had been working for at least one year in the public municipal health care network. Data were collected between December 2013 and March 2014, by means of a questionnaire, using descriptive analysis and the software IBM SPSS version 20 and Microsoft Excel 2010. RESULTS: The results showed that 71.7% of the participants questioned their female patients as for risk factors for breast cancer, mainly during nursing consultation; 70.0% oriented users about the age to perform clinical breast exam, whereas 30.0% did not due to lack of knowledge and time; 60.0% explained about the age to perform mammogram; 73.3% did not refer patients with suspicious breast exam results to the referral department, citing scheduling as the main obstacle to referral. Educational activities were not performed by 78.3% of participants. CONCLUSION: Investment is needed in professional training and management of breast cancer screening.

Immunostaining and gene expression of epidermal growth factor receptors (HER1/HER2) in canine cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a neoplasm type often diagnosed in dogs. However, studies focused on further investigating its molecular biology, mainly biomarkers to help implementing new therapies, remain scare in the literature. Thus, immunostaining and the gene expression of epidermal growth factor receptors (HER1 and HER2) in canine cSCC presenting different cell differentiation degrees were herein assessed. Thirty-two (32) canine cSCC were selected, classified based on to their cell differentiation degree and subjected to immunohistochemical study to assess HER1 and HER2 immunostaining intensity and distribution. In addition, HER1 and HER2 gene expression was investigated through real-time PCR. Membranous and cytoplasmic immunostaining were observed in both markers. HER2 prevailed in poorly differentiated cSCC; there was positive protein expression correlation between both markers. Mean HER1 gene expression was higher in moderately differentiated, whereas mean HER2 gene expression was higher in poorly differentiated cSCC. Moreover, there was gene expression correlation between markers, regardless of cell differentiation degree. Thus, HER2 protein immunostaining and gene expression were higher in poorly differentiated canine cSCC and it enabled understanding that increase observed in this epidermal growth factor receptor is proportional to this neoplasm's cell differentiation degree in canine species. Results in the current study helped better understanding canine cSCC's molecular biology; however, it is relevant studying other markers aiming to investigate signaling pathways.

Antibiotic Resistance Profile of Salmonella sp. Isolates from Commercial Laying Hen Farms in Central-Western Brazil.

Microbial resistance to antibiotics poses a significant threat to both human and animal health, necessitating international efforts to mitigate this issue. This study aimed to assess the resistance profiles of Salmonella sp. isolates and identify the presence of intl1, sul1, and blaTEM resistance genes within antigenically characterized isolates, including Agona, Livingstone, Cerro, Schwarzengrund, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serotype O:4.5, Anatum, Enteritidis, Johannesburg, Corvallis, and Senftenberg. These isolates underwent susceptibility testing against 14 antibiotics. The highest resistance percentages were noted for sulfamethoxazole (91%), sulfonamides (51%), and ceftiofur (28.9%), while no resistance was observed for ciprofloxacin. Salmonella Johannesburg and Salmonella Corvallis showed resistance to one antibiotic, whereas other serovars were resistant to at least two. Salmonella Schwarzengrund exhibited resistance to 13 antibiotics. The intl1 gene was detected in six out of the ten serovars, and the sul1 gene in three, always co-occurring with intl1. The blaTEM gene was not identified. Our findings highlight the risk posed by the detected multiple resistances and genes to animal, human, and environmental health. The multidrug resistance, especially to third-generation cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones, highlights the need for stringent monitoring of Salmonella in laying hens. The potential of the environment, humans, eggs, and their products to act as vectors for antibiotic resistance represents a significant concern for One Health.

Intestinal Microbiome Profiles in Broiler Chickens Raised with Different Probiotic Strains.

The composition of the intestinal microbiota can influence the metabolism and overall functioning of avian organisms. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of three different probiotics and an antibiotic on the microbiomes of 1.400 male Cobb® broiler raised for 42 days. The experiment was conducted with the following treatments: positive control diet (basal diet + antibiotic); negative control diet (basal diet without antibiotic and without probiotic); basal diet + Normal Avian Gut Flora (NAGF); basal diet + multiple colonizing strain probiotics (MCSPs); and basal diet + non-colonizing single strain probiotics (NCSSPs). The antibiotic (enramycin-antibiotic growth promoter) and probiotics were administered orally during all experiment (1 to 42 days), mixed with broiler feed. To determine the composition of the microbiota, five samples of ileal digesta were collected from 42-day-old chickens of each experimental group. The alpha and beta diversity of the ileal microbiota showed differences between the groups. MCSPs presented greater richness and uniformity compared to the positive control, negative control, and NCSSPs treatments, while the negative control exhibited greater homogeneity among samples than NCSSPs. MCSPs also showed a higher abundance of the genus Enterococcus. There were differences between the groups for low-abundance taxa (<0.5%), with NAGF showing higher levels of Delftia, Brevibacterium, and Bulleidia. In contrast, NCSSPs had a higher abundance of Ochrobactrum, Rhodoplanes, and Nitrospira. It was concluded that the treatments analyzed in this study induced modulations in the ileal microbiota of the chickens examined.

METHOD: A quasi-experimental pre- and post-test study. Data was collectedusing a questionnaire with thirty questions to assess knowledge about the subject. For the analyses, the chi-square and McNemar tests were used, withanα = 5% of significance. RESULTS: After the training sessions, there was a 16.22% increase in the number of correct answers to the questions dealing with the recognition of the obstruction (<0.0001) and the airway clearance technique (<0.0001). CONCLUSION: The intervention improved the knowledge of early childhood teachers in the municipality regarding the identification of airway obstruction and techniquesairway clearing in school-age children.

Factors related to tissue complications resulting from insulin therapy: a cross-sectional study.

OBJECTIVE: To identify factors related to tissue complications resulting from insulin therapy. METHOD: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study carried out in a capital of northeastern Brazil. A semi-structured form and an observation guide were applied to assess the performance of insulin preparation and administration techniques. Descriptive statistics, association test, and multivariate logistic regression were used for data analysis. RESULTS: Most participants were female (74.2%), aged between 51 and 70 years (50.0%), and had nine to eleven years of education (36.7%). The presence of some type of local complication in 73.5% of the participants and the failure to rotate the injection sites in 82.3% are highlighted. Being single/widowed and not rotating insulin application sites were related to local complications and increased the chances of their occurrence by 3.51 and 6.70 times, respectively. CONCLUSION: Marital status and nonrotation of injection site were related to the increased chances of tissue complications resulting from insulin therapy.

Knowledge of primary care nurses before and after educational intervention on diabetic foot.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the knowledge of the nurses about the diabetic foot before and after the educational intervention. METHOD: Quasi-experimental study, before-and-after type, carried out with 53 nurses, from March to June 2016, in the municipality of Campina Grande, Paraíba. The Questioning Methodology was used to develop the educational intervention. Knowledge was investigated using an instrument designed by the researchers. For data analysis before and after the intervention, the McNemar and Wilcoxon tests were performed. RESULTS: The knowledge of the nurses about the diabetic foot turned out to be deficient, with a mean of correct answers in the pre-test of 23.8 (SD±12.8) and after 41.9 (SD±9,2), with a statistically significant difference (p<0.01). CONCLUSION: It was verified a significant increase in the knowledge after the intervention, highlighting the items related to evaluate the loss of plantar protective sensitivity, essential for the prevention of diabetic foot.

Factors associated with depressive symptoms and cognition in elderly victims of violence.

OBJECTIVE: To identify, among elderly people victims of violence, factors associated with depressive symptoms and cognitive function. METHOD: This was a cross-sectional study carried out with 56 elderly people classified in situation of violence. To do so it was used the Brazil Old Age Shedule (BOAS), the Conflict Tactics Scales Form R, the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and the Mini-mental State examination (MMSE). RESULTS: Depressive symptoms were more predominant in elderly men, over 70 years old, without partner, illiterate, with no job, receiving up to 1 minimum wage and who lived alone; and the cognitive deficit prevailed in women, over 70 years old, without partner, illiterate, who did not work, receiving up to 1 minimum wage and who lived alone. CONCLUSION: Among the elderly population victim of violence, lack of a partner and cognitive impairment were associated to depressive symptoms; and finding themselves living alone, with no partner and being illiterate were associated to cognitive deficit.

Cloth masks as respiratory protections in the COVID-19 pandemic period: evidence gaps.

OBJECTIVE: to identify scientific evidence on the effectiveness of using cloth masks as safe protectors against COVID-19. METHOD: an integrative review of articles available in full obtained at PubMed, CINAHL, and Web of Science. Controlled, non-controlled descriptors and keywords such as "mask", "home-made" and "cloth" or "cotton" and "infection control" or "infection prevention" were used. RESULTS: thirty-eight articles were selected; of these, seven studies made up the sample. Evidence shows that cloth masks do not have the same protective characteristics as surgical masks, indicating an increased risk of infection due to humidity, diffusion of fluids, virus retention, and improper preparation. Considering the shortage of surgical masks during the pandemic, cloth masks could be proposed as a last resort. CONCLUSION: cloth masks should be used together with preventive measures, such as home insulation, good respiratory conduct, and regular hand hygiene.

Brazilian Breast Cancer Care Network: the perspective of health managers.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the organization of the Brazilian Breast Cancer Care Network, according to the perspective of managers of the Coordenadoria Regional de Saúde Sudeste (Southeast Regional Coordination of Health) of the city of São Paulo. METHOD: A descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, carried out with seven managers of this Coordination. The interview data were analyzed based on the components of the operational structure of the Brazilian Health Care Network: Communication Center; Secondary and Tertiary Care Points; Support Systems; Logistic Systems; and Network Governance System. RESULTS: There is heterogeneity in the operationalization of the Care Network and the obstacles to its integration and comprehensiveness were: fragility of the bond with the users; high turnover of professionals in Primary Health Care; lack of standardization of the reference system and counter-referral, and low cooperation between municipal and state health services. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: The organization of the Brazilian Breast Cancer Care Network is fragmented, thus compromising the comprehensiveness of care.

Quality of life in the climacteric of nurses working in primary care.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the quality of life of primary care nurses in the climacteric. METHOD: A cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study, performed with 98 female nurses, aged 40-65 years, using the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire. RESULTS: the worst level of quality of life was observed for professionals aged 50-59 years, non-white, specialists, divorced or widowed, with children, a lower income, with another employment relationship, a weekly workload of more than 40 hours, who consumed alcoholic beverages weekly, with chronic disease, in continuous use of medications, sedentary, who did not menstruate and did not receive hormonal treatment, and who went through menopause between the ages of 43-47 years. CONCLUSION: Although the variables "physical activity" and "age" have a statistically significant association with quality of life, other variables seem to interfere in these professionals' lives, indicating the need for a more critical and deep reflection on these relations.

Intra- and Inter-Rater Reliability of Bioimpedance in the Evaluation of Lymphedema Secondary to Treatment of Breast Cancer.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the intra- and inter-rater reliability of bioimpedance in determining upper limb volume in women with lymphedema resulting from breast cancer treatment, as well as its correlation with the upper limb volume calculated by circumferential measurement. A blind cross-sectional study was performed in which 27 women (62.59 ± 10.50 years) were evaluated with upper limb lymphedema secondary to breast cancer treatment. Two examiners performed assessments in the same volunteers independently and twice, with an interval of 1 week between assessments. The collections were performed by the direct tetrapolar multifrequency segmental bioimpedance and by the circumference of the upper limb homolateral to the breast cancer. The results of the circumference showed that the homolateral limb had lymphedema. The intra- and inter-rater analysis showed excellent reliability with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) values ranging from 0.954 to 0.999 for the amount of liquid and excellent reliability with ICC values ranging from 0.852 to 0.999 for the electrical impedance of the upper limb with lymphedema. The correlation was strong and negative (p < 0.05) between intracellular, extracellular, and total water when associated with electrical impedance and moderate and positive (p < 0.05) when associated with upper limb volume for all frequencies. The correlations between upper limb volume and water quantities were moderate and positive (p < 0.05). The results indicate that bioimpedance is a reliable method for the evaluation of lymphedema, and the volume of the homolateral upper limb is associated with the amount of water in women with lymphedema secondary to the treatment of breast cancer.

Adolescent pregnancy: a comparative study between mothers who use public and private health systems.

This is a comparative and descriptive study of adolescent mothers who were attended in three maternities of the public health system and three private maternities in a city in São Paulo, Brazil, between 2000 and 2002. This study aimed to compare the profile of mothers attended in both systems. The database of Ribeirão Preto was used and 5,286 adolescent mothers between 10 and 19 years old were selected according to type of delivery, level of instruction, number of prenatal consultations and parity. We found that the users of the public health system had less prenatal consultations, lower level of education, higher parity and the vaginal delivery was most frequent. The users of the private health system, on the contrary, had more prenatal consultations, higher level of instruction, and primiparity and cesarean sections were more frequent.

Abstract Objective To analyze the breast cancer management practices identified by Primary Health Care managers. Methods This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study, carried out with 24 Health Units managers in Primary Care, of different configurations (traditional, Family Health Strategy and Basic Health Units with Family Health teams) and contemplating small, medium and large units, located in a city in the countryside of São Paulo. An instrument was used to identify screening and detection actions for breast cancer, with 32 questions and sub-items, according to the actions determined by the breast cancer management program in Brazil. The analysis was based on Donabedian Model's structure and process attributes. Results With regard to breast cancer management actions, all managers, 24 (100%), stated that they established priority in referring women with altered mammography and Clinical Breast Examination, and requesting mammography for women in the high-risk group. As for obstacles in the execution of these actions, most, 13 (54.2%), managers pointed out difficulties faced by the services, with a predominance of lack of health professionals and excessive demand. Conclusion The Primary Care Health Units have carried out actions to manage breast cancer, but there are behaviors that do not comply with the Ministry of Health's proposals. There is a need for greater implementation of educational actions, as the focus is curative. Also, greater investments are needed to increase preventive measures and enhance access to screening tests.
