A UNILA, sede do evento, é uma universidade temática criada em 2010 pelo governo federal do Brasil com a missão institucional de formar recursos humanos aptos a contribuir com a integra- ção latino-americana, com o desenvolvimento regional e com o intercâmbio cultural, científico e educacional da América Latina, especialmente no MERCOSUL. Sua finalidade, portanto, é conver- ter-se em um espaço de encontros, de trocas e de aprendizagem mútua, que reforçam o compro- misso em prol da pertinência, da excelência e da construção sustentável de um mundo melhor.Los docentes de cinco cátedras del área de Psicología pertenecientes a tres universidades: Universidad Nacional del Litoral (UNL – Santa Fe, Argentina), Universidad Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG - Belo Horizonte, Brasil) y Universidad Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri (UFVJM Diamantina, Brasil) desarrollaron entre 2016 y 2018 un proyecto de internacionalización curricular titulado: “Lo intercultural en las subjetividades de adolescentes y jóvenes argentinos y brasileros: Estudio de casos comparados como ocasión para el encuentro con el otro. Se propuso allí fomentar el diálogo intercultural entre los equipos docentes en vistas a la internacionalización en la formación de los alumnos y valorar la metodología de estudio de casos comparados como una forma de abordaje de las subjetividades en adolescentes y jóvenes desde una perspectiva intercultural (Vasconceles Leite, et al., 2017).Núcleo de Estudios e Investigaciones en Educación Superior del Mercosur - NUCLEO Grupo Interdisciplinar de Pesquisa em Educação na América Latina – EducAL/UNILA Instituto Mercosul de Estudos Avançados – IMEA/UNILA Pró-Reitoria de Relações Institucionais e Internacionais – PROINT/UNIL

Optimal search strategies for identifying sound clinical prediction studies in EMBASE

BACKGROUND: Clinical prediction guides assist clinicians by pointing to specific elements of the patient's clinical presentation that should be considered when forming a diagnosis, prognosis or judgment regarding treatment outcome. The numbers of validated clinical prediction guides are growing in the medical literature, but their retrieval from large biomedical databases remains problematic and this presents a barrier to their uptake in medical practice. We undertook the systematic development of search strategies ("hedges") for retrieval of empirically tested clinical prediction guides from EMBASE. METHODS: An analytic survey was conducted, testing the retrieval performance of search strategies run in EMBASE against the gold standard of hand searching, using a sample of all 27,769 articles identified in 55 journals for the 2000 publishing year. All articles were categorized as original studies, review articles, general papers, or case reports. The original and review articles were then tagged as 'pass' or 'fail' for methodologic rigor in the areas of clinical prediction guides and other clinical topics. Search terms that depicted clinical prediction guides were selected from a pool of index terms and text words gathered in house and through request to clinicians, librarians and professional searchers. A total of 36,232 search strategies composed of single and multiple term phrases were trialed for retrieval of clinical prediction studies. The sensitivity, specificity, precision, and accuracy of search strategies were calculated to identify which were the best. RESULTS: 163 clinical prediction studies were identified, of which 69 (42.3%) passed criteria for scientific merit. A 3-term strategy optimized sensitivity at 91.3% and specificity at 90.2%. Higher sensitivity (97.1%) was reached with a different 3-term strategy, but with a 16% drop in specificity. The best measure of specificity (98.8%) was found in a 2-term strategy, but with a considerable fall in sensitivity to 60.9%. All single term strategies performed less well than 2- and 3-term strategies. CONCLUSION: The retrieval of sound clinical prediction studies from EMBASE is supported by several search strategies

Intervención e investigación psicosocial : El relato de los trabajadores de salud mental como recurso para conocer sus perspectivas ante la legislación vigente en el campo

Presento aquí un recorte de mi tesis de maestría en intervención e investigación psicosocial haciendo énfasis en el desafío de vincular intervención e investigación en un mismo proceso El objetivo general consiste en describir las significaciones de trabajadores de la salud mental acerca de las relaciones entre sus prácticas y las lógicas manicomiales-antimanicomiales.

Significaciones de Trabajadores de Salud Mental Respecto a Sus Prácticas y su Relación con la Legislación Vigente en el Campo

Introducción. Se trata de una investigación para una tesis de maestría, enmarcada en una perspectiva psicosocial acerca de la relación entre trabajadores de salud mental de Santa Fe y el marco normativo legal de orden nacional y provincial vigente en salud mental. Objetivos. Describir las significaciones de trabajadores de la salud mental acerca de las relaciones entre sus prácticas y las lógicas manicomiales-antimanicomiales. Metodología. Se planteó un diseño metodológico cualitativo basado en el análisis temático de relatos de trabajadores seleccionados intencionalmente. Participan psicólogo/as de instituciones públicas en Santa Fe entre otros trabajadores de distintos sectores, enfoques y disciplinas atendiendo a las características del campo. Resultados. El aporte de esta investigación consiste en describir cómo se manifiesta el compromiso ético-político de los trabajadores respecto a la desmanicomialización desde las intimidades de las prácticas. Se plasma el “fin de los manicomios” como un imperativo ético, un horizonte donde inscribir el deseo con relación a las prácticas de salud mental. Discusión. La legislación vigente en salud mental, con su importancia simbólica y material, no alcanza para erradicar las prácticas manicomiales, esto sería así ya que los sentidos manicomiales no se reproducen exclusivamente entre muros, sino que se replican en sentidos y prácticas cotidianas que involucran diferentes momentos, espacios y actores; entonces esta problemática se inscribe en un marco más amplio: las luchas por la construcción de ciudadanía, el reconocimiento y respeto de los derechos, la inclusión de personas con vulnerabilidad social, así como las propuestas y acciones emancipatorias ligadas a cambios en las políticas sociales y la salud pública y el campo de las producciones teóricas al respecto. Participar de esta discusión recuperando la propia perspectiva de los trabajadores nos introduce en la dimensión de la “metapolítica”

Ficção Científica E O Discurso Ambiental Da Ciência Contemporânea: Um Exemplo Com Operação Buraco De Minhoca

Diante do atual modelo de desenvolvimento econômico, o discurso ambiental materializa certos sentidos em torno da responsabilidade do homem pelo destino da Terra que acabam se projetando em diversas obras de ficção científica, como é o caso de Operação Buraco de Minhoca, romance da escritora Laura Bergallo publicado em 2008. O objetivo desse artigo é analisar o funcionamento desse discurso a partir do mapeamento dos elementos contrafactuais e de como os conflitos entre os personagens se estruturam em função das expectativas que temos com relação à ciência e à tecnologia.16282-97Estudos Urbano

Clinical prediction models to support the diagnosis of asthma in primary care: a systematic review protocol

Substantial over-diagnosis and under-diagnosis of asthma in adults and children has recently been reported. As asthma is mostly diagnosed in non-specialist settings, a clinical prediction model (CPM) to aid the diagnosis of asthma in primary care may help improve diagnostic accuracy. We aim to systematically identify, describe, compare, and synthesise existing CPMs designed to support the diagnosis of asthma in children and adults presenting with symptoms suggestive of the disease, in primary care settings or equivalent populations. We will systematically search Medline, Embase and CINAHL from 1 January 1990 to present. Any CPM derived for use in a primary care population will be included. Equivalent populations in countries without a developed primary care service will also be included. The probability of asthma diagnosis will be the primary outcome. We will include CPMs designed for use in clinical practice to aid the diagnostic decision making of a healthcare professional during the assessment of an individual with symptoms suggestive of asthma. We will include derivation studies, and external model validation studies. Two reviewers will independently screen titles/abstracts and full texts for eligibility and extract data from included papers. The CHARMS checklist (or PROBAST if available) will be used to assess risk of bias within each study. Results will be summarised by narrative synthesis with meta-analyses completed if possible. This systematic review will provide comprehensive information about existing CPMs for the diagnosis of asthma in primary care and will inform the development of a future diagnostic model.<br/

Diagnostic accuracy of the Depression subscale of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-D) for detecting major depression : protocol for a systematic review and individual patient data meta-analyses

INTRODUCTION: The Depression subscale of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-D) has been recommended for depression screening in medically ill patients. Many existing HADS-D studies have used exploratory methods to select optimal cut-offs. Often, these studies report results from a small range of cut-off thresholds; cut-offs with more favourable accuracy results are more likely to be reported than others with worse accuracy estimates. When published data are combined in meta-analyses, selective reporting may generate biased summary estimates. Individual patient data (IPD) meta-analyses can address this problem by estimating accuracy with data from all studies for all relevant cut-off scores. In addition, a predictive algorithm can be generated to estimate the probability that a patient has depression based on a HADS-D score and clinical characteristics rather than dichotomous screening classification alone. The primary objectives of our IPD meta-analyses are to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the HADS-D to detect major depression among adults across all potentially relevant cut-off scores and to generate a predictive algorithm for individual patients. We are already aware of over 100 eligible studies, and more may be identified with our comprehensive search. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Data sources will include MEDLINE, MEDLINE In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations, PsycINFO and Web of Science. Eligible studies will have datasets where patients are assessed for major depression based on a validated structured or semistructured clinical interview and complete the HADS-D within 2 weeks (before or after). Risk of bias will be assessed with the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 tool. Bivariate random-effects meta-analysis will be conducted for the full range of plausible cut-off values, and a predictive algorithm for individual patients will be generated. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The findings of this study will be of interest to stakeholders involved in research, clinical practice and policy

Recent trends in soft-tissue infection imaging.

This article discusses the current techniques and future directions of infection imaging with particular attention to respiratory, central nervous system, abdominal, and postoperative infections. The agents currently in use localize to areas of infection and inflammation. An infection-specific imaging agent would greatly improve the utility of scintigraphy in imaging occult infections. The superior spatial resolution of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ((18)F-FDG-PET) and its lack of reliance on a functional immune system, gives this agent certain advantages over the other radiopharmaceuticals. In respiratory tract infection imaging, an important advancement would be the ability to quantitatively delineate lung inflammation, allowing one to monitor the therapeutic response in a variety of conditions. Current studies suggest PET should be considered the most accurate quantitative method. Scintigraphy has much to offer in localizing abdominal infection as well as inflammation. We may begin to see a gradual increase in the usage of (18)F-FDG-PET in detecting occult abdominal infections. Commonly used modalities for imaging inflammatory bowel disease are scintigraphy with (111)In-oxine/(99m)Tc-HMPAO labeled autologous white blood cells. The literature on central nervous system infection imaging is relatively scarce. Few clinical studies have been performed and numerous new agents have been developed for this use with varying results. Further studies are needed to more clearly delineate the future direction of this field. In evaluating the postoperative spine, (99m)Tc-ciprofloxacin single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was reported to be \u3e80% sensitive in patients more than 6 months after surgery. FDG-PET has also been suggested for this purpose and may play a larger role than originally thought. It appears PET/computed tomography (CT) is gaining support, especially in imaging those with fever of unknown origin or nonfunctional immune systems. Although an infection-specific agent is lacking, the development of one would greatly advance our ability to detect, localize, and quantify infections. Overall, imaging such an agent via SPECT/CT or PET/CT will pave the way for greater clinical reliability in the localization of infection

Effects of Different Warm-up Protocols on the Cardiopulmonary Responses to Exercise Testing in Youth

International Journal of Exercise Science 17(4): 1530-1539, 2024. The aim of this study was to compare the warm-up effects of a treadmill walking warm-up (TW) with a dynamic warm-up (DW) on the responses to cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in youth. A sample of 16 active youth (age 13.6 ± 1.8 yr) were tested for peak oxygen uptake (VO2 peak) using the Fitkids treadmill test protocol on 2 nonconsecutive days following different 6-min warm-up procedures. The TW consisted of walking on a treadmill at 2.2 mph and 0% grade whereas the DW consisted of 12 bodyweight exercises with a 2 kg medicine ball. Maximal heart rate (HR) was significantly higher following DW vs TW (200.8 ± 6.16 vs. 197.9 ± 7.3 bpm, respectively; p \u3c 0.05), whereas no significant differences were found between DW and TW for VO2 peak (50.5 ± 9.9 vs 50.6 ± 11.1 ml/kg/min), maximal minute ventilation (VE; 93.0 ±21.4 vs. 92.7 ±21.2 L/min), maximal respiratory exchange ratio (1.19 ± 0.08 vs 1.22 ± 0.08), and total exercise test time (668.1 ± 103.5 vs 686.3 ± 97.0 s), respectively. During the Fitkids treadmill test protocol HR and VE were significantly higher following DW vs TW at stage 1, stage 2, stage 3 and stage 4, and oxygen uptake was significantly higher following DW vs TW during stage 1 (all p \u3c 0.05). Findings indicate a DW elicits a higher maximal HR and higher submaximal HR, VE, and oxygen uptake values than TW during CPET in youth, although no differences in VO2 peak were observed
