É fundamental compreender o perfil epidemiológico e os principais sinais e sintomas de idosos com doenças reumatológicas visando embasar o desenvolvimento de ações de saúde e, assim, evitar as consequências destas doenças e o impacto sobre a funcionalidade. Neste sentido, este estudo buscou revisar a literatura científica a respeito do perfil epidemiológico e prevalência de sinais e sintomas em idosos com doenças reumatológicas. A metodologia empregada consiste em uma revisão integrativa nas seguintes bases de dados: plataforma digital Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde e Google Acadêmico.

O uso de plantas medicinais é uma prática comum no Brasil. Considerando a biodiversidade do país, a eficácia em relação aos benefícios gerados, as possibilidades de complemento à biomedicina, o envelhecimento populacional e a tradição cultural, a questão que norteou esse estudo foi: como as pessoas idosas citam o uso de plantas medicinais na contemporaneidade? O objetivo foi traçar uma reflexão sobre o uso de plantas medicinais entre pessoas idosas, identificando as principais plantas utilizadas, formas de preparo, formas de uso e meio de aquisição.

troduction: Tension headaches represents 69% of cases, when chronic it compromises quality of life resulting in decreased concentration and performance, making university students a risk group due to academic activities. In addition to drug treatment, physiotherapy can be used as a conservative treatment. Objective: To analyze the effect of a physical therapyfor non-specific headache associated with muscle tension in students of a public university.

Introduction and objective: Nutrition sport is characterized by the application of nutritional principles to improve sports performance. In this sense the proper nutrient intake can be a determining factor in sports, especially for resistance training practitioners. The characteristics adaptations of resistance exercise, regardless of the method are dependent upon a proper exercise program associated with a balance between protein synthesis and degradation.

The strictu sensu post-graduation has an important role in the technological, economic, and social development of a country. In recent years, the offer of courses of this modality has intensified in Brazil in the most diverse areas of knowledge. The objective of this work is to present an evolutionary analysis of graduate programs in production engineering in Brazil from the years 2013 to 2018. To achieve the proposed objective, descriptive exploratory research was carried out. Data were collected from CAPES 'Sucupira Platform.

Introduction: In Brazil the number of outlets for physical exercise grows every year, among them the gyms have a prominent place because of resistance training is one of the most sought-after sports.Objectives: can be aesthetic, weight loss, health or sports performance to end up motivating, practitioners, to use other strategies, in addition to resistance exercise, the Anabolic Androgens Steroids(AAS’s). Objective: In this sense, the objective of this study was to characterize the practitioners of resistance exercises that make use of AAS’s.

As a guideline and principle of the Unified Health System (SUS), access and quality of health services are priorities that include the agenda of the Ministry of Health (MS), as well as the National Policy for Permanent Education in Health (PNEPS). Permanent Health Education (EPS) is the process by which teams seek to improve, organize, and qualify actions. The Quality Access Improvement Program (PMAQ) was launched in 2011, aiming to qualify Primary Care (AB).

Landslides are among the most common natural disasters in mountainous areas, where they are enhanced by inadequate occupation of these areas, especially by the poorest people, who are unaware of the basic and safe concepts for housing construction. In the city of Recife, capital of Pernambuco, Brazil, these accidents occur more intensely during periods of rain, causing socioeconomic and environmental damage. The present study aimed to analyze and map the degree of risk and danger in two hills located in the city of Recife.

This article aims to explore the meanings of technology in coexistence with a culture of accessibility, summoning or thinking about theoretical convergences and their relationships. Methodologically, a basic strategic research, qualitative approach, before a deductive method of investigation, with the procedure that indicates a bibliographical and documentary research.
