ABSTRACT
This article examines the evolution of the understanding of child mental health based on documents that guide nursing practise in Brazil. Eleven relevant documents were submitted to normative analysis, which revealed four themes: Developmental approach of the child mental health; Brazilian policies and social history of children; Spaces for prevention, promotion, and care in children's mental health; and The (in)visibility of nurses' work in the context of mental health. These are linked through ideological and social constructions that have although transformed through the years yet remained the same in their core. Based on our results, we propose adopting a decolonial perspective to compose nursing knowledge to improve child mental health in Brazil.

La relación profesional/paciente y su importancia para el buen seguimiento y, suceso del tratamiento odontológico deben ser reflejadas por medio de sus aspectos bioéticos. Nuestro estudio ha tenido como objetivo evaluar el conocimiento de los cirujanos dentistas (n=163) que realizan curso de especialización en la Universidad Estadual PaulistaUNESP, sobre esos aspectos. Entre los investigados, el 88,1% mencionan que la decisión del tratamiento debe ser tomada en común acuerdo entre el profesional y el paciente, sin embargo, el 26,4% relatan que la participación del paciente y/o la de su responsable legal en la decisión puede interferir de manera negativa. La actuación del profesional cuando el paciente opta por un tratamiento menos conveniente, el 95,6% tratan de convencerlo de que no es la mejor opción y cambie para la mejor, manteniendo el modelo paternalístico. Ha sido observado que el 20,3% no supieron relacionar la importancia de la interacción profesional/paciente para el tratamiento odontológico. Se Concluye que muchos cirujanos dentistas no están tomando en cuenta esos aspectos bioéticos en la práctica clínica (AU)
Professional-patient relationship and its importance for a good performance and success of the dental treatment must be reflected upon by means of their bioethical aspects. Our study aimed at evaluating dentist-surgeons knowledge (n=163) in conducting specialization courses at São Paulo State UniversityUNESP, on these aspects. Out of the people surveyed, 88.1% mentioned that a decision for the treatment should be made by mutual agreement between professionals and patients, however, 26.4% report that patients or their legal representatives participation in decision-making can cause negative interference. Professionals acting when patients choose a less suitable treatment, 95.6% try to convince patients that it is not the best choice and persuade them for a better one by keeping the paternalistic model. It was noticed that 20.3% did not know how to relate the importance of professional-patient interaction as regards the dental treatment. It was therefore concluded that many dentist-surgeons are not taking these bioethical aspects into account in clinical practice (AU)

Rabies-infected bats are preyed upon by dogs and cats and the transmission of vírus from bats to domestic animais has been reported. It is expected that bat-related virus variants might be found with higher frequency in dogs and cats living in urban areas where the terrestrial cycle has been controlled. This article reports the genetic characterization of one sample of rabies virus from a cat that had contact with a bat on the border of São Paulo city. The sample was genetically typed as variant 3, associated with Desmodus rotundus, suggesting that bats and their rabies virus variants must from now on be considered in the epidemiology of rabies of urban domestic animais and in public health policies.
