Study of comparision between koh and histopathology report in post covid19 fungal infection; our experience

Objectives: This study is aimed to compare the diagnostic modalities of detecting fungus; KOH mount and Histopathological evaluation in cases of invasive fungal rhinosinusitis. Invasive fungal rhinosinusitis, i.e. fungal invasion of sinus mucosa, submucosa, blood vessels, bone, etc.has emerged as one of the most debilitating sequelae of corona virus infection. This sudden rise in fungal infection may be multifactorial with reasons ranging from low immunity status to uncontrolled diabetes mellitus to incessant steroid use to hyperferritinemia due to Covid Infection.

Regulamentação dos aplicativos na prevenção de riscos cardiovasculares no Brasil

A pesquisa permitiu obter as definições de Telemedicina aplicadas à Cardiologia e à Regulamentação vigente, mais especificamente, sobre os aplicativos dos fatores de risco da doença cardiovascular. Como resultado, constatamos que os aplicativos ancorados na Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia são somente 3 e possuem, aproximadamente, 10.000 usuários, enquanto outros atingem mais de 5.000.000 que não, necessariamente, estão embasados nas regulações vigentes dos diversos órgão reguladores brasileiros.

Thromboembolic complications in covid-19 patients admitted at a tertiary hospital in belém – pará

Introduction: The new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has led to an unprecedented global health crisis. The high rate of thromboembolic complications in these patients is notorious, but the tools to estimate the risk of these complications are still preliminary. Objective: To describe the rate of thromboembolic events in patients admitted for COVID-19 in a tertiary hospital in Belém - Pará.

Study of navigation assisted functional endoscopic sinus surgery

Introduction: Endoscopic sinus surgery(ESS) is the first choice of surgery to treat medicine-refractory sinonasal disease. However, when a single lens system is used to perform ESS, the 2-dimensional imaging results in a loss of depth of field. To lessen complications and operate with greater precision, frameless stereotaxic integration of computed tomography(CT) has been used during functional endoscopic sinus surgery(FESS) for intraoperative real time localization.

The world as it is versus how it should be: epistemological differences and convergences between science and design

The purpose of this essay was to critically discuss whether there are and what are the epistemological differences between scientists and designers. These two characters are worked out in the form of extreme stereotypes. The scientist is the ultimate representative of a traditional and positivist view of science, which seeks to explain in a value-free way how the world is. While the designer represents all those who act guided by proposals of value to transform the world, not just explain it.

Mobile technologies in customer service: a study with agribusiness managers

The study sought to identify the extent to which the use of Mobile Technologies (TM) impacts consumer demand in the agribusiness production chain. To achieve this goal, the TM in which agribusiness managers are inserted was contextualized, the tools that permeate the service to the agribusiness consumer market were mapped and the association between tm adoption and producers' performance in meeting demand was identified. The methodological strategy adopted to outline the research was a field survey with rural producers who sell products in a free fair.

New analytical approach to estimate the electromagnetic spectrum originated from devices submitted to high voltages

This paper presents a simplified physical model and an analytical equation to estimate the frequency range of the radiated spectrum from an ionized region using computational simulation. This phenomenon is frequently caused by the corona effect generated from high voltages sources. Mostly not seem, this ionization can damage over time the device and the radiated frequencies can cause electromagnetic interference (EMI). Based on particle radiation and the momentum equation, the velocity and frequency equations for accelerated charges in an electric field are presented.

Influência da atuação dos psicólogos nos processos de humanização nos hospitais

A humanização em saúde pode ser definida como o resgate do respeito à vida humana, considerando as circunstâncias sociais, éticas, educacionais, psíquicas e emocionais presentes em todo relacionamento. Para haver eficácia na aplicação da PNH é necessário que os profissionais de saúde tenham vivências humanizadoras durante sua formação. É importante que haja a possibilidade nos cursos de graduação nas áreas da saúde, e é de fundamental importância a aproximação dos futuros profissionais a PNH para a compreensão da sua subjetividade humana ultrapasse o processo de saúde-doença.

Medidas terapêuticas em intoxicação por paraquat com dose letal: um relato de caso

O Brasil é referência mundial em agronegócio. Contudo, o mercado de defensivos agrícolas, popularmente conhecidos como agrotóxicos, também vem crescendo, consequentemente, o número de intoxicações por essas substâncias e desses produtos químicos em tentativas de suicídio, sobretudo em zonas rurais, vem se acentuando.Entre os agrotóxicos amplamente utilizados, o Paraquat, se destaca pelo baixo preço, grande eficácia, além de ser um herbicida não seletivo, e com ausência de efeito poluente para os solos.
