Objective: to analyze the association of the complexity of nursing care using the Fugulin Scale and the profile of hospitalized clinical patients using a nasoenteral probe (SNE). Method: Cross-sectional, retrospective, quantitative study, using secondary data, from a multicenter study.The sample comprised 31 patients admitted to the medical clinic of a hospital in the countryside of Rio Grande do Sul, using SNE. Results: most male patients, white, educated, married, aged over 60 years, requiring high dependency care, according to the Patient Classification System proposed by Fugulin.

O objetivo do estudo foi identificar a associação entre ansiedade e nível de atividade física. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo, transversal e caráter descritivo quantitativo, realizado com uma amostra de 131 adolescentes, matriculados em uma escola pública de Teresina. Para tanto, utilizou-se o questionário de atividades físicas habituais traduzido e adaptado por Nahas (2000), e as orientações do Manual diagnóstico e estatístico de doenças mentais – (DSM V), para avaliar o nível de atividade física e prevalência de ansiedade, respectivamente.

Background: The proper use of personal protective equipment aims to ensure safety and minimize the risks to which workers are exposed during their work activities. Thus, the present article sought to identify how adherence to PPE works by professionals in the hospital environment, and how this adherence can impact onthe reduction of occupational risks. This is a literature review, divided into 6 stages that allowed a better understanding of the proposed theme.

High episcleral venous pressure results in IOP elevation and optic nerve glaucomatous damage. Any obstruction or communication with the arterial system, like a cavernous sinus thrombosis or a carotid cavernous fistula, can impair drainage of the episcleral venous system and cause retrograde IOP elevation. In rare cases, no cause for the high venous pressure is found. Such cases are diagnosed as having Idiopathic Elevated Episcleral Venous Pressure (IEEVP). So far only 27 cases of IEEVP have been published in the English literature, none of them with a follow up of more than one year.

Psoriasis is a highly prevalent skin disease in several populations worldwide. It is a genetic, immunologically based disease triggered by environmental factors. One way to assess the severity of the disease is using the PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) and the DLQI (Dermatological Life Quality Index). This instrument assesses the quality of life.

The capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) a semi-aquatic generalist herbivores found in South American. The objective was to evaluate the presence of parasites in wild capybara species that inhabit the Lagoa Maior region in Tres Lagoas Brazil. Four stool samples were collected totaling 20 samples per collection (2 in dry periods and 2 in rainy periods). Stool samples were processed using standardized parasitological techniques and the observation and identification of the parasitic forms was carried out through optical microscopy and morphological and morphometric evaluation.

Plastic surgeries are procedures that allow remodeling or repair of external parts of the body. As with any procedure, they present risks of complications and sequelae, which are often unavoidable and expected. The present study seeks to investigate in the literature how the dermatological interventions performed in the face of these complications. METHOD: This is an integrative literature review carried out in July 2022, in the Scielo, LILACS and MEDLINE databases. The descriptors "Plastic Surgery" and "Postoperative complications" were used, associated with the Boolean operator AND.

Some Sapindaceae plants are used in folk medicine, food and also in the pharmaceutical field. Allophylus semidentatus (Sapindaceae) is a wild plant that is being studied for the first time. In this investigation, the metabolites were extracted by using polar solvent as methanol, hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate. Chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques were used for the isolation and identification of compounds. Extracts from the branches revealed the presence of steroids/triterpenes, flavonoids, alkaloids and coumarins. Metabolites were isolated by chromatography.
