RESUMO
INTRODUÇÃO: Os programas de iniciação científica e pós-graduação são um instrumento essencial na formação de recursos humanos e na perpetuação da produção científica nacional. O papel dos professores pesquisadores no adequado desenvolvimento científico dos estudantes de graduação e pós-graduação tem sido continuamente reafirmado em diversas pesquisas sobre a qualidade do ensino superior brasileiro, apesar da contínua desvalorização das universidades públicas no país. Avaliar a carreira e o perfil dos bolsistas de produtividade em pesquisa pode fornecer elementos em relação ao impacto desses profissionais no ensino, na pesquisa e na internacionalização das universidades. OBJETIVO: Caracterizar o perfil profissional e a produção científica dos bolsistas do Programa de Produtividade em Pesquisa da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. MÉTODOS: Estudo descritivo baseado na análise de dados públicos disponíveis na Plataforma Lattes. Os bolsistas de produtividade em pesquisa foram apurados com base nos resultados dos editais de 2013, 2016 e 2019. RESULTADOS: A análise das variáveis evidenciou diminuição do número de docentes bolsistas da instituição, que passou de 34 para 29. Observamos um número significativamente maior de projetos financiados por profissionais do sexo masculino quando comparados às pesquisadoras (p=0,03) e uma forte correlação entre os anos de doutorado e o número de doutores orientados que atualmente se dedicam à pesquisa. CONCLUSÃO: Professores pesquisadores exercem impacto direto na formação de recursos humanos qualificados e na formação de recursos humanos qualificados e na internacionalização das universidades públicas.
INTRODUCTION: Mentoring through scientific initiation and post-graduate programs are an essential instrument on the formation of human resources and the perpetuation of national scientific production. The role of research professors in the proper scientific development of graduate and post-graduate medical students has been continuously reaffirmed in several surveys on the quality of Brazilian superior education, despite the continuous desvalorization of higher education in the country. Determine the career and profile of research productivity fellows could measure the impact of these professionals in teaching, researching and internationalization of our university. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the professional profile and scientific production of the Productivity in Research Program fellows from the Faculty of Medicine of the Federal University of Minas Gerais. METHODS: This descriptive study is based on the analysis of public data available at Lattes Platform. Research productivity fellows were determined based on the results of the 2013, 2016 and 2019 calls for tenders. RESULTS: Analysis of the variables showed a decrease in the number of professors with scholarships at the institution, which went from 34 to 29. We observed a significantly higher number of funded projects of male professionals when compared to female researchers (p=0.03) and a strong correlation between years of doctorate degree and the number of mentored doctors currently dedicating to research. CONCLUSION: Experient research professors exert direct impact on the formation of qualified human resources and the internationalization of the federal university.

BACKGROUND: The survival of premature newborns increased in the last decades due to advances in neonatal care. The physiology of this group is still under investigation, once the incomplete organogenesis entails functional particularities that are not yet clarified by current clinical knowledge. The immature kidneys are especially susceptible to acute injury with potential long-term impacts. Current diagnostic parameters of acute kidney injury are limited among the preterm population. The commonly used serum creatinine protein constitutes a poor biomarker to predict early lesions as it is susceptible to several factors, including muscle mass and gestational age. OBJECTIVE: The present review explores the evidence on nephrogenesis, renal function, and acute kidney injury in neonatology, as well as studies on renal function biomarkers and their potential application for diagnosis, follow-up, and prognosis in preterm newborns. RESULTS: Premature newborns reach full-term gestational age with reduced number and quality of nephrons. Consequently, the glomerular filtration rate and tubular function become impaired and are proportional to the gestational age. Despite having a high incidence among the pediatric population, acute kidney injury is still underdiagnosed and poorly managed due to the absence of proper, sensible, and non-invasive biomarkers. Although cystatin C, NGAL, and KIM-1, are promising urinary markers, current literature remains inconsistent. CONCLUSION: Further research is needed to properly identify and standardize sensible and specific urinary biomarkers to better assess kidney function in preterm newborns.
