Comparison between Saline Solution Containing Heparin versus Saline Solution in the Lock of Totally Implantable Catheters.

BACKGROUND: There are only 3 studies comparing the efficacy of 2 different types of lock used in totally implantable catheters regarding occlusion or reflux dysfunction. The present study contains the largest published casuistry (862 patients) and is the only one that analyzes 3 parameters: occlusion, reflux dysfunction, and flow dysfunction. METHODS: This was a retrospective study of patients operated at a large oncology center and followed up in the outpatient clinic between 2007 and 2015. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the type of lock: the Hep group (heparine), whose lock was composed of saline solution 0.9% with heparin (100 IU/mL) and the SS group (saline solution), whose lock was composed of saline solution 0.9%. RESULTS: The Hep group was composed of 270 patients (31%) and the SS group of 592 patients (69%). Regarding occlusion, there were 8 cases in the Hep group (2.96%) and 8 in the SS group (1.35%; P = 0.11); in relation to reflux dysfunction, there were 8 cases in the Hep group (2.96%) and 8 in the SS group (1.35%; P = 0.11); in relation to flow dysfunction, there was 1 case in the Hep group (0.37%) and 4 cases in the SS group (0.68%; P = 1). CONCLUSIONS: There was no statistically significant difference between the groups regarding occlusion, reflux dysfunction, and flow dysfunction.

Percepção dos estudantes sobre a infraestrutura dos cursos de psicologia: considerações a partir do ENADE-2006 / Perception of students about infrastructure of the psychology courses: some reflections made at ENADE-2006

Neste artigo, descrevem-se as condições de infraestrutura apresentadas pelas IES, a partir das informações do questionário socioeconômico respondido por estudantes dos Cursos de Psicologia participantes do ENADE-2006. Apresentam-se as condições de infraestrutura, considerando 12 quesitos relacionados à adequação dos espaços (laboratórios, biblioteca, salas de aula teoria/prática), material didático e de consumo, acesso a mídias e equipamentos. Com o objetivo de avaliar as especificidades entre os Cursos de Psicologia, foram realizados recortes para a região geográfica de funcionamento do curso, para a categoria administrativa e ainda a organização acadêmica. Há urgência de investimentos para melhorar as condições de infraestrutura das universidades federais e incrementos para o nordeste e norte do país em relação às situações menos favoráveis avaliadas pelos respondentes.(AU)

In this article the infrastructure conditions of the Psychology courses is presented through a socioeconomic questionnaire answered by students of psychology who took ENADE, the national exam of students development in 2006.The assessment of the infrastructure conditions was made through 12 topics related to the adequacy of rooms (labs, library, classrooms), didactic and consumption material and the access to media and equipment. Aiming to evaluate the differences among the courses of Psychology the questionnaire took into account geographic region, course management and academic organization. The findings show urgency in investment to improve the infrastructure conditions of the federal Universities and increase of resources to the universities in the north and northeast of the country, which accordingly to the students are not favored if compared to the other universities of the other regions in Brazil.(AU)
