DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES, EDUCATION AND THE PANDEMIC OF COVID-19: AN OPEN DEBATE

Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDIC). As a result, interactive and online sharing spaces were created. The debate surrounding the Manichean discourses on TDIC is heated, oscillating between its devaluation and euphoria with its possibilities when applied to education. The article brings out the relationship between TDIC and pedagogical practice, taking into account the critical aspects related to their access and the problems generated by utopian and dystopian discourses. It is concluded that the biggest challenge lies in the adoption of an approach that considers the political and power issues involved in the limit positions capable of critically reflecting on the uses of technology in education and digital inclusion in favor of the democratization of education and, for research, overcoming solutionist, market and excluding perspectives, of teachers and students, around TDIC.

Administration of chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine through feeding tubes: New challenges in times of coronavirus pandemic

The use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine as off-label treatments for COVID-19 is a resort for critical care patients under enteral nutrition (EN). However, the use of solid pharmaceutical forms of these drugs through feeding tubes can pose a challenge to the health care team. Therefore, we performed a review of literature regarding administration of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine through feeding tubes. For this end, a search was performed on PubMed and Lilacs database using key-words and free terms referring to drug administration via feeding tubes, and, specifically chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. Also, a search on Micromedex® database and on the Handbook of Drug Administration via Enteral Feeding Tubes were performed. A total of 1.784 articles were retrieved. However, 4 articles fitted in the inclusion criteria. Two articles exploring the administration of chloroquine via feeding tubes on children with malaria found no difference on clinical results or tolerability when comparing it with oral or intramuscular administration. Other article showed full dispersion of hydroxychloroquine on water after crushing with mortar and pestle. A review found no information regarding the administration of hydroxychloroquine via postpyloric fEeding tubes. No information was found on Micromedex® or the consulted Handbook;however, they pointed out the interaction between chloroquine and multivalent ions if coadministered. © 2019, Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP).
