Educação e colaboração interprofissional: resultados qualitativos de uma intervenção com residentes / Interprofessional education and collaboration: qualitative results from an intervention with residents

Apresentar resultados qualitativos de uma intervenção grupal voltada ao aprimoramento da educação e da colaboração interprofissional em residentes multiprofissionais e residentes médicos, com ênfase no contexto da atenção hospitalar. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, do qual participaram nove residentes. A intervenção desenvolvida com os participantes desmembrou-se em quatro encontros de duas horas de duração cada e promoveu atividades voltadas ao fomento de competências interprofissionais. Os encontros foram gravados em áudio e posteriormente transcritos, sendo que as transcrições foram submetidas à análise de conteúdo temática. Foram configuradas duas categorias básicas, cujos relatos correspondentes indicam que, de acordo com os participantes, a intervenção foi proveitosa já que, dialogicamente, lhes possibilitou tanto reconhecer obstáculos ao trabalho em equipe no campo da saúde quanto delinear expedientes capazes de superá-los. A intervenção gerou contribuições ao aprimoramento da educação e da colaboração interprofissional para com os participantes.

To present qualitative results from a group intervention aimed at improving education and interprofessional collaboration in multidisciplinary residents and medical residents, with emphasis on the context of hospital care. This is a qualitative study, in which nine residents participated. The intervention developed with the participants was divided into four meetings lasting two hours each and promoting activities aimed at fostering interprofessional competences. The meetings were audio recorded and later transcribed, and the transcripts were subjected to thematic content analysis. Two basic categories were configured, whose corresponding reports indicate that, according to the participants, the intervention was beneficial in the sense that, dialogically, it enabled them both to recognize obstacles to teamwork in the health field and to outline expedients capable of overcoming them. The intervention generated contributions to the improvement of education and interprofessional collaboration with the participants.

Interdisciplinarity and interprofessionality in teamwork: perceptions of multiprofessional residents in Hospital Care

Multiprofessional Health Residency Programs were created to further align health training with the needs of the population and, through an emphasis on teamwork, have been contributing to the consolidation of the Brazilian Unified Health System. The present study sought to understand the perceptions of a group of multiprofessional residents in Hospital Care about interdisciplinarity and interprofessionality within the scope of teamwork. This is a qualitative study that had the participation of 29 multiprofessional residents in the 'Hospital Care' area of concentration, all female (six psychologists, six social workers, six nurses, six physiotherapists and five nutritionists). Data were collected by means of a semi-structured interview script. The corpuswas subjected to thematic content analysis. Most of the participants: (1) reported that their first contact with the notion of interdisciplinarity occurred when they were in college, which led to them assimilating it as a synonym for joint action, and (2) claimed to have no knowledge of the notion of interprofessionality, but valued the horizontalization of relations between health professionals. Additionally, important conditions concerning both interdisciplinarity and interprofessionality were not emphasized by the participants. Further studies on the subject are needed, due to its importance for public health.

A mouse variable gene fragment binds to DNA independently of the BCR context: a possible role for immature B-cell repertoire establishment.

B-cell maturation occurs in several steps and requires constant stimulus for its continuing development. From the emergence of the pre-B-cell receptor, signal transduction stimulates and supports B-cell development. Current viewpoints indicate that both positive selection pressure for autoantigens and tonic signaling constitutively stimulate B-cell maturation. In this work, we tested for the presence of a putative DNA binding site in a variable gene segment in a germline configuration, independently of VDJ recombination. After a survey of the public antibody databases, we chose a single mouse heavy variable gene segment that is highly represented in anti-nucleic acid antibodies and tested it for ssDNA binding. A phage display approach was used to search for intrinsic binding to oligo deoxythymidine. The results revealed that binding to an antigen can be influenced by the use of a specific DNA binding V[Formula: see text] gene segment. Our data support the idea that some variable genes have intrinsic reactivity towards specific types of endogenous autoantigens, and this property may contribute to the establishment of the immature B-cell repertoire.

Estudo epidemiológico de fontes de alimentaçäo sangüínea dos triatomíneos da fazenda Aroeira (Catolé do Rocha, Paraíba) e circunvizinhanças / Epidemiologic study of the sources of blood feeding of the triatominae of the Aroeira farm (Catolé do Rocha, Paraíba) and neighboring localities

Analisamos a fonte de alimentaçäo sangüínea de 94 triatomíneos (51 Triatoma brasiliensis, 42 T. pseudomaculata e um Rhodnius neglectus) da Fazenda Aroeira, no Município de Catolé di Rocha, no Estado da Paraíba, e de quatro localidades próximas. Observamos postividade para marsupial, homem e ave, respectivamente, de 39,7, 6,2 e 23,0 por cento. Três insetos da Fazenda Aroeira, positivos para Trypanosoma cruzi, foram positivos para marsupial, só um deles também para outro mamífero. Os marsupiais säo a mais importante fonte de T. cruzi para os insetos da área e estes têm pouco contato com o homem

Effect of deltamethrine on trypanosoma cruzy (trypanosomatidae) in triatoma infestans (reduviidae: triatominae)

A aplicaçäo de deltametrina em ninfas de T.Infestans, nas doses de 0,0483 ou 0,0966 mg i. a./g de inseto, em exemplares ja expostos a infecçäo por T.Cruzi,reduz significativamente a taxa de eliminaçäo de tripomastigotas nas dejeçöes. A aplicaçäo de 0,0966 mg/g, 3 ou 7 dias antes da exposiçäo a T. Cruzi, nao influenciou significativamente a taxa de eliminaçäo
