Segundo a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS), a Incontinência urinária (IU) pode ser definida como qualquer perda involuntária de urina que afeta principalmente as mulheres, muitas no período gestacional. A Cinesioterapia pode ajudar a melhorar o quadro clínico, reduzindo a perda urinária e os sintomas que a acompanham. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar os efeitos da cinesioterapia no fortalecimento dos músculos do assoalho pélvico no tratamento da incontinência urinária gestacional. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa entre os anos de 2011 e 2021.

Introdução: Parkinson é uma doença neurodegenerativa progressiva, com os sintomas: tremor de repouso, bradicinesia, hipertonia plástica e instabilidade postural, afetando indivíduos com mais de 60 anos, afetando mais homens do que mulheres. Objetivo: analisar os benefícios de exercícios de dupla tarefa na marcha de paciente com doença de Parkinson.

This study aimed to determine the effect of a high fat, high protein, low carb diet during pregnancy and lactation of dams and pups of Wistar rats. Female Wistar rats were fed either a control balanced diet (C) or a Low-carb, hyperproteic and hyperlipidic diet (E) during pregnancy and/or lactation period and the number, weight, adipose tissue and blod glucose from both dams (d) and pups (p) were analyzed. Diet E caused smaller litters and lean pups, without effect on dam’s weight gain.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is a neoplasm that most frequently affects animals with light skin and fur, with access to the street and that are exposed to chronic UV radiation, which leads to chronic inflammatory lesions. It is characterized as a locally aggressive neoplasm, but there are few reports of distant metastasis. Reconstructive surgeries are extremely important, as they allow a significant injured area of skin to be removed, and at the same time, this site is covered by skin from other regions, obtaining primary and faster healing compared to secondary healing.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to assess the epidemiological profile of violence against children and adolescents treated in a public hospital at Macapá from 2015 to 2019. METHOD: This is a research with a quantitative, descriptive, retrospective and documentary approach, from the collection of data from medical records. RESULTS: 122 medical records of victims of child and youth violence were evaluated, the age range was from zero to 12 years, with a higher prevalence of children aged 8 to 11, brown color (71.21%), female (81.15%) and residents of the urban area (73.77%).

Coffee growing in Brazil is an important agribusiness specialty, as it is one of the crops that moves the country's economy the most, being responsible for about one third of the world coffee production. Organic matter is an indispensable attribute for high yields and, associated with precision agriculture, it becomes a tool with high accuracy for identifying areas with different organic matter contents. The objective of the study was to analyze the spatial variability of organic matter fractions in a clayey red latosol.

Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen that causes healthcare-associated infections, especially in intensive care units (ICUs). This study aimed to analyze the epidemiological and resistance profile of 106 patients hospitalized at an emergency hospital from Teresina, Piauí, Brazil, as well as, to investigate the resistance profile of A. baumannii strains isolated from these patients.

Erosion is one of the main causes of soil degradation. Model validation is a vital step in developing a valid and applicable tool to predict soil erosion. The aim of this study was to evaluate models that predict the cover and management subfactor (CiII) for interrill erosion. A full factorial design was used, with five doses of corn residue (0; 0.05; 0.15; 0.40 and 0.80 kg m-2), four slope gradients (5.2%; 10.6%; 15.3% and 36.4%) and two repetitions, under simulated rainfall. Di and the CiII were assessed in 0.5 x 0.75 m experimental plots, with recently tilled soil.

Tendo em vista a relevância das atividades de educação em saúde, este trabalho objetivou relatar a experiência sobre a construção de um folder educativo, por um grupo de pesquisa, com orientações para pessoas com diabetes no contexto da pandemia de covid-19.

O expressivo aumento da população idosa tem sido registrado em todos os continentes do globo, constituindo hoje um dos maiores desafios para os sistemas públicos assistenciais. No Brasil, estatísticas demográficas apontam que, para o ano de 2060, teremos a sexta população mais velha no mundo. Diante do cenário referido, o presente estudo visa a atender dois objetivos conexos: descrever o perfil de envelhecimento populacional do município de Foz do Iguaçu/PR no período de 2000 a 2019 e; traçar o perfil sociossanitário dos usuários idosos acompanhados pela Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF).
