Antimicrobial resistance, enterotoxin and biofilm production genes in Staphylococcus spp. isolated from facilities and fomites in veterinary hospital in the Caatinga biome.

The Caatinga biome occurs only in Brazil and offers epidemiological conditions that should be assessed differently from other regions of Brazil and the world. Thus, the aim of this survey was to identify antimicrobial resistance, enterotoxin and biofilm production genes in Staphylococcus spp. isolated from facilities and fomites in a veterinary hospital in Caatinga biome. Samples were collected from surfaces of small animal clinical care tables (n =8), cages in the dog and cat hospitalisation sector and animals with infectious diseases (n = 21), small animal surgical centre (n =8), sterilisation sector (n =7) and stethoscopes (n = 32) by using sterile swabs. Bacterial isolation and identification, antimicrobial resistance phenotypic test and molecular detection of antimicrobial resistance, biofilm formation and enterotoxin genes were carried out. Ninety-five bacterial isolates were obtained, and 29 (30.5%) were identified as Staphylococcus spp. Overall, 13 isolates (44.8%) of six species of Staphylococcus spp. showed antimicrobial resistance profile, as well as S. haemolyticus expressed phenotypic profile of multidrug resistance. The antimicrobials with the highest resistance rates were penicillin and tetracycline. The most frequent resistance genes were blaZ and tetM, both detected in 10 (76.9%) isolates. The mecA, tetL and tetK genes had frequencies of 38.5% (5/13), 23.1% (3/13) and 15.4% (2/13), respectively. The biofilm production marker, icaD gene, was detected in one S. sciuri strain. SEE gene, which encodes enterotoxins, was detected in 15.4% (2/13) of the strains (S. pseudintermedius and S. intermedius). The occurrence of Staphylococcus spp. carrying resistance genes to diferent classes of antimicrobials, presenting MDR phenotypic pattern and carrying enterotoxins and biofim encoding genes recovered from veterinary hospital facilities and fomites in the Caatinga biome reinforce the need to implement prevention cares in veterinary practices to avoid One Health-concerning conditions.

Clinical manifestations of syphilis in the oral cavity: a review / Manifestações clínicas da sífilis na cavidade oral: uma revisão bibliográfica

Introduction: Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by Treponema pallidum bacterium, which impact on a significant increase in contagions reported worldwide, bringing up the need of urgent actions to ensure the control, treatment, and diagnosis of the disease. Objective: Given this context, this work presents a bibliographical review on syphilis, aiming to describe the most common oral manifestations that occur on the four stages of this infection. Methods: For the literature review, the searches were carried out in the PubMed, Science Direct, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature and databases of Virtual Health Library. Results: Regarding the primary syphilis, the main clinical manifestations in the oral cavity include chancres in the palate, buccal mucosa, tongue, and lips. In the secondary stage, the presence of diffuse and nonspecific oral lesions was identified. In tertiary syphilis, stomatitis and glossitis are present, being the hard palate and the tongue the main affected regions. In congenital syphilis, the patients are affected with dental and jaw malformations. Conclusion: The clinical manifestations of syphilis in the oral cavity can appear at any stage of the infection, being the oral cavity the second most affected region by this sexually transmitted infection. Therefore, the knowledge regarding this subject is extremely important for health professionals, as well as for the population, being essential to carry out the correct diagnosis and adequate treatment for the rapid cure of this infection (AU)

Introdução: A sífilis é uma infecção sexualmente transmissível oriunda da bactéria Treponema Pallidum, com transmissão através de relações sexuais sem o uso de preservativos ou por contato com lesões contaminadas. Nos últimos anos, diversos novos casos estão sendo reportados de forma alarmante, mostrando uma realidade dura sobre as dificuldades do diagnóstico da doença. Objetivo: Diante desse contexto, este trabalho apresenta uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a sífilis, com o objetivo de descrever as manifestações orais mais comuns nos quatros estágios possíveis da doença. Métodos: Para a revisão de literatura, realizou-se a busca dos artigos nas bases de pesquisas PubMed, Science Direct, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde. Resultados: Observou-se que, na sífilis primária, as principais manifestações clínicas na cavidade oral ocorrem com a presença de cancros no palato, na mucosa jugal, na língua e nos lábios. No estágio secundário, identificou-se a presença de lesões orais difusas e inespecíficas. Na sífilis terciária, podem ocorrer estomatites e glossites, sendo o palato duro e a língua as principais regiões acometidas. Na sífilis congênita, os possíveis sinais clínicos na cavidade oral são malformações dentárias e nos maxilares. Conclusões: As manifestações clínicas da sífilis na cavidade oral podem surgir em qualquer estágio da infecção, sendo a cavidade oral a segunda região com maior acometimento da infecção. Portanto, é de extrema importância o conhecimento das manifestações orais da sífilis pelos profissionais da área da saúde, bem como pela população, sendo fundamental o correto diagnóstico e tratamento rápido para a cura precoce da doença.

Gênero, saúde e prisão: maternidades possíveis no contexto prisional / Género, salud y prisión: posibles maternidades en el contexto penitenciario / Gender, health and prison: possible maternities in the prison context

Este relato baseia-se nas reflexões de uma estagiária que atuou em uma penitenciária do sul do país, durante o último período do seu curso de Psicologia. O objetivo do estágio voltou-se para a atenção integral à saúde da mulher no contexto de privação de liberdade. Tendo em vista ser um artigo derivado de reflexões sobre estágio, trabalharemos aqui com o relato de experiência das atividades desenvolvidas, que foram analisadas conforme as proposições da Análise de Discurso do Círculo de Bakhtin. Foram criados dois grupos distintos de intervenção, sendo um deles composto por mulheres em período de gestação, cujos encontros aconteceram junto a uma equipe interdisciplinar, e o outro composto por mulheres inseridas na área berçário do presídio junto a seus filhos. As análises dos encontros realizados nos permitiram compreender a fragmentação da identidade da mulher atravessada pela lógica do contexto prisional: punir para reabilitar.(AU)

This report consists of the performance of a intern in a penitentiary in the south of the country, in the period that corresponded to the last year of the Psychology course. The objective of the internship was focused on comprehensive care to women's health in the context of deprivation of liberty in a prison. As this is an article derived from reflections on internship, we will work here with the experience report of the activities carried out, which were analyzed according to the propositions of the Discourse Analysis of the Bakhtin Circle. There were two distinct groups, one of which was a group of women in the gestation period, whose meetings took place with an interdisciplinary team, and another group of women in the nursery area of the prison with their children. The analysis of the meetings held allowed us to understand the fragmentation of women's identity crossed by the logic of the prison context: punishing to rehabilitate.(AU)

Este informe se basa en las reflexiones de una pasante que trabajó en un centro penitenciario del sur del país, durante el último período de su curso de Psicología. El objetivo de la pasantía estuvo enfocado en la atención integral a la salud de la mujer en el contexto de privación de libertad. Como artículo derivado de las reflexiones sobre la pasantía, aquí trabajaremos con el relato de experiencia de las actividades desarrolladas, las cuales fueron analizadas de acuerdo a las proposiciones del Análisis del Discurso del Círculo de Bakhtin. Se crearon dos grupos de intervención diferenciados, uno formado por mujeres en gestación, cuyas reuniones se realizaron con un equipo interdisciplinario, y otro compuesto por mujeres insertadas en el área de guardería del penal con sus hijos. El análisis de los encuentros realizados permitió comprender la fragmentación de la identidad de las mujeres atravesada por la lógica del contexto carcelario: castigar para rehabilitar.(AU)

Personality and psychopathology in Ménière's disease.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Psychological factors in vertigo patients have been extensively studied but the role of anxiety and personality traits in the clinical course of Ménière's disease (MD) is unknown. The objectives of this study are to identify and characterize psychopathology in MD and to find risk factors for an increased rate and intensity of crisis and chronic symptoms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a transversal study in all patients diagnosed with definite MD in our department during a 5-year period. Sample subjects were interviewed in 3 steps: first, an otorhinolaryngologist collected information about clinical and pharmacological background of MD; second, a psychiatrist screened for mood, anxiety and personality disorders; in a third stage, the patient completed the DHI (Dizziness Handicap Inventory), STAI-Y (State Trait Anxiety Inventory), NEO-PI-R (Neo Personality Inventory Reviewed) and VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) for vertigo and dizziness. Statistical analysis was performed to search for risk factors for multiple and intense crisis and chronic symptoms. RESULTS: Thirty-four patients completed all 3 phases of the study. A predominant dysfunctional personality trait was identified in 80% of patients (predominantly cluster C type), 35% were being treated with psychiatric medication and 34.4% had a considerable mood or anxiety disorder. All patients scored high (>7) in VAS during crisis. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between crisis rate and STAI, anxiety-subscale (N1) in NEO-PI-R, VAS and DHI scores (p<.044). Crises were more common in bilateral MD (p=.041). DHI scores were higher with higher STAI and N1 (p=.001). Disease duration and pure tone average were found to have a positive moderate correlation (p=.017). CONCLUSIONS: The positive correlations between crisis rate, chronic dizziness and anxiety-related personality traits reveal a bidirectional and intimate relationship between personality, anxiety and MD, affecting these patients' quality of life. These results support the relevance of prospecting adjuvant psychological and psychiatric approaches to these patients.

Ineffective Health Management in Hemodialysis Patients: Diagnostic Accuracy Study.

This study analyzed the accuracy of clinical indicators of ineffective health management in hemodialysis patients. A diagnostic accuracy study was performed in 200 chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis during the first half of 2015. Measures of sensitivity and specificity were calculated using latent class analysis. Ineffective health management was present in 66.28% of patients. Accurate clinical indicators included expressed nonadherence to treatment, daily life choices ineffective to achieve health goals, expression of difficulty with prescribed regimens, inappropriate use of medicines, lack of expression of willingness to control the disease, irregular attendance of dialysis sessions, and infection. Hemodialysis may trigger a set of clinical indicators that predict the presence of ineffective health management. This knowledge provides evidence to clinical practices for hemodialysis patients and contributes to the best clinical performance of nurse practitioners.

Predictors of pressure ulcer risk in adult intensive care patients: A retrospective case-control study.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the predictive power of risk factors for pressure ulcers in adult intensive care patients. METHOD: A retrospective case-control study was performed utilising a heterogeneous sample group allocated into a case group with pressure ulcers (n=90) and a control group without pressure ulcers (n=90). The analysis explored the predictive power of risk factors for pressure ulcers using a hierarchical logistic regression model. RESULTS: The risk factors that predicted pressure ulcers were friction (OR=5.97), previous history of pressure ulcers (OR=5.43), prolonged intensive care unit stay (OR=3.92), dehydration (OR=3.18), elevated skin temperature by 1-2°C (OR=3.12) and treatment of other comorbidities (OR=2.79). CONCLUSION: Adult intensive care patients have an increased risk of developing a pressure ulcer. These risk factors are regarded as strong predictors for pressure ulceration. This study advances nursing knowledge in that it investigates additional risk factors for the development of pressure ulcers and it identifies a set of factors that best predict their occurrence, which may contribute to the nurses' diagnostic reasoning in the intensive care unit.

Pressure Ulcer Risk Evaluation in Critical Patients: Clinical and Social Characteristics.

BACKGROUND: Pressure ulcers increase hospital stays and treatment costs due to their complications. Therefore, recognizing factors that contribute to pressure ulcer risk are important to patient safety. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between the scores of the Waterlow, Braden, and Norton scales and clinical and social characteristics in critically ill patients. METHOD: A cross-sectional study of 78 patients in an adult intensive care unit of a university hospital in Northeastern Brazil was conducted from July to December 2015. Data included social and clinical information and the risk factors of the Braden, Norton and Waterlow scales. Data were analysed by the descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULTS: Most of the participants were female, adults and elderly people with brown skin colour, low education levels and insufficient income. Most of them showed a high risk for developing pressure ulcers using the three evaluated scales. Age, smoking status, diabetes and hypertension were associated with scores on the Waterlow, Braden and Norton scales. CONCLUSION: Age, use of the tobacco, diabetes and hypertension were associated with the risk of pressure ulcers in ICU patients.

Prevalent Signs and Symptoms in Patients with Skin Cancer and Nursing Diagnoses.

BACKGROUND: Skin cancer has a remarkable importance given the high incidence in the population. In Brazil, it is estimated that there were 98,420 new cases of nonmelanoma skin cancer among men and 83,710 new cases among women in 2014. OBJECTIVES: To verify signs and symptoms present in patients with skin neoplasms according to the literature and relate them to the nursing diagnoses of NANDA International. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Integrative literature review carried out from March to May 2015 in the databases: Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, SCOPUS, National Library of Medicine and Nattional Institutes of Health, Latin American and Caribbean Sciences of Health and Web of Science. The descriptors used were: 'Signs and Symptoms' and 'Skin Neoplasms'. Sixteen articles were identified as the final sample. After review, the signs and symptoms of skin cancer identified in the literature were related to the defining characteristics present in NANDA International, with the aim to trace possible nursing diagnoses. RESULTS: The most prevalent signs and symptoms were: asymmetric and well circumscribed nodules with irregular borders; speckles with modified color aspect; ulcerations; blisters; pain; itching; and bleeding. The principal nursing diagnoses outlined were: risk for impaired skin integrity; impaired skin integrity; acute pain; risk of shock; and impaired comfort. CONCLUSIONS: The identification of signs and symptoms present in patients with skin cancer and the relationships of these with the nursing diagnoses of NANDA International provide a basis for qualified and systematized nursing care to this clientele.

Atividades de enfermagem ao paciente prostatectomizado / Nursing prostatectomy patients / Actividades de enfermería al paciente prostatectomizado

Estudo descritivo, cujo objetivo foi identificar as atividades realizadas pelos profissionais de enfermagem da urologia no cuidado ao paciente em pós-operatório de prostatectomia e compará-las ao apresentado na literatura. A pesquisa foi realizada em um hospital universitário, localizado na Região Nordeste do Brasil, nos meses de agosto e setembro de 2011, com 18 profissionais de enfermagem, incluindo enfermeiros, técnicos de enfermagem e auxiliares de enfermagem, que responderam a um questionário contendo perguntas sobre seus dados sociodemográficos e sobre os cuidados prestados pela enfermagem ao paciente em pós-operatório de prostatectomia. Os cuidados de enfermagem foram agrupados em seis categorias: orientações sobre o período pós-operatório; tratamento da incontinência urinária; tratamento da disfunção erétil; tratamento da dor; acompanhamento psicológico; e tratamento da hiponatremia. Conclui-se que os profissionais de enfermagem enfatizaram as orientações no pós-operatório, o tratamento da incontinência urinária e da dor e o acompanhamento psicológico, em descompasso com a literatura.

Nursing diagnoses and adaptation problems among chronic renal patients.

OBJECTIVE: To identify similarities between NANDA International nursing diagnoses and Roy's adaptation model among chronic renal patients undergoing hemodialysis. METHODOLOGY: Cross-sectional and descriptive study with 178 individuals selected, through consecutive convenience sampling, in a dialysis center located in the Northeast of Brazil. The study was conducted between October 2011 and February 2012. Data collection instruments included an interview form and a physical assessment. RESULTS: Similarity was found between 20 nursing diagnoses and 22 adaptation problems. Roy's adaptation modes that presented these relationships were: physiological, self-conception and role function. CONCLUSION: There are similarities between the two typologies. Furthermore, the use of the nursing process from the perspective of a theory inherent to the field supports care delivery and strengthens scientific knowledge in the profession.
