The diabetic foot represents a clinical problem with repercussions on the quality of life but also an economic one. Self-care of the feet can prevent ulcers and consequently amputations in diabetic people. Aim: To evaluate the effects of health education actions in the foot care of people with diabetes. Methods: A systematic review with meta-analysis was performed. The descriptors used were “Nursing,” “Self-care,” “Disease Prevention,” and “Diabetic Foot,” associated with the Boolean operators AND and OR. The final data collection resulted in ten articles.

The cagaita (Eugenia dysenteric DC) is a native fruit from Cerrado with a globose shape, light yellow color, and slightly acidic taste. Besides having functional properties, making it is widely used in chronic constipation treatments. It is a fruit with a unique flavor and can be used in agro-industries in ice cream, jams, jellies, juices, and the like. This work's objective was to present the technology used in extracting of fruit pulp from Eugenia desynterica DC since harvest time until the storage process and its physicochemical characterization.

Tomato is considered one of the most important vegetable species, because in addition to its use in natura, it can also be processed in several ways, such as extract, pulp, sauce and peeled tomato. This article aimed to evaluate the processing of tomatoes from the Paraná’s Supply Center (CEASA) in Maringá/PR and from a rural property located in the region of Maringá/PR. To perform the study, samples of tomatoes were collected and their quality was assessed by means of physical-chemical, microbiological analysis and determination of lycopene content.

A perda de integridade da pele pode ser devida a fatores como traumas, intervenções cirúrgicas e feridas crônicas. A sua cicatrização é um processo dinâmico, interativo e difícil, que pode, ainda, ser comprometido ou até inibido por infecções bacterianas. A maioria das lesões cutâneas cicatriza naturalmente, entretanto, feridas graves necessitam de tratamento, no qual são utilizados os curativos. Um curativo ideal deve adaptar-se à superfície de aplicação, impedir a desidratação e a penetração de microrganismos.

Solanum paniculatum L. popularly known as jurubeba, is a shrub that has pharmacological importance. In this way, micropropagation emerges as an alternative to enable the production of seedlings on a large scale, presenting several advantages from the multiplication of genetic material, for the exchange or evaluation of germplasms, to the production of virus free seedlings.

Capitalismo de vigilância é uma das denominações utilizadas para definir o cenário econômico no século XXI, este artigo propõe um recorte de cena para analisar esse fenômeno, discutindo a maneira pela qual a vigilância está sendo aplicada nas relações laborais. Para alcançar esse objetivo, a metodologia de abordagem foi dedutiva, com método de procedimento monográfico, baseado na revisão de literatura.

Restorative materials have been constantly evolving over the years with the search for physicochemical characteristics that are similar to tooth structures. Ideally, the main characteristics that are expected of a direct restorative material are its ability to withstand masticatory forces, dimensional stability, marginal sealing, biocompatibility, smoothness, aesthetics, the ability to prevent the recurrence of new caries, as well as not presenting postoperative sensitivity.

Introduction: The Center for Permanent Education (CPE) in hospitals aims to act in the updating and professional improvement of employees, for this it is necessary to carry out the management of the sector, observing the demand for subjects, proposing a planning, executing and evaluating the activities. Due to the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the CPE has the function of planning, organizing and providing support to the Permanent Health Education actions to health professionals in the front line of care.

Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa em que objetivou-se analisar a visão de estudantes de medicina sobre tecnologias voltadas a prática médica, como o uso da realidade virtual por meio da telemedicina, dos simuladores de cirurgia na prática.

The main aim of this paper is to evaluate and model both leverage effect and persistent volatility of Bradesco Bank stock shares (BBDC3). The leverage effect was measured through the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) model and some of its extensions, such as EGARCH, NGARCH, APGARCH, ALLGARCH, IGARCH, CGARCH and FIGARCH. The orical basis: These are mainly asymmetrical extensions that were chosen since they can overcome the possible limitation that negative returns might have a bigger impact in volatility than positive ones in this type of data.
