ABSTRACT The objective of this article was to analyze the conceptions of mothers and children in relation to the autonomy of young people with Down Syndrome. In this sense, 20 mothers and 20 young people with Down Syndrome participated in this study. A qualitative study was carried out through semi-structured interviews, which were recorded, transcribed and subsequently analyzed. The results of the study showed that the perspective of mothers regarding autonomy concerns carrying out daily activities at home, but when leaving this environment, they show fear, not allowing their children to extend this autonomy to other environments. With regard to young people with Down Syndrome, it is possible to notice that even though they do not understand their genetic condition and what autonomy actually means, they demonstrate the desire to have a life like any other young person, who studies, dates, works, leaves home alone. Thus, it is necessary to implement programs aimed at training professionals, families and young people with DS in helping autonomy.

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo foi analisar as concepções de mães e filhos em relação à autonomia de jovens com Síndrome de Down. Nesse sentido, participaram deste estudo 20 mães e 20 jovens com Síndrome de Down. Foi realizado um estudo qualitativo, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, que foram gravadas, transcritas e posteriormente analisadas. Os resultados do estudo mostraram que a perspectiva das mães com relação à autonomia diz respeito à realização das atividades cotidianas em casa, mas, ao sair desse ambiente, eles demonstram medo, não permitindo que os filhos ampliem essa autonomia para outros ambientes. Com relação ao jovem com Síndrome de Down, é possível perceber que, mesmo não entendendo a sua condição genética e o que venha a ser de fato autonomia, eles demonstram o desejo de terem uma vida como qualquer outro jovem, que estuda, namora, trabalha, sai de casa sozinho. Assim sendo, é preciso a implementação de programas voltados à capacitação de profissionais, família e jovens com SD no auxílio à autonomia.

Abstract Objective to search for available scientific evidence on multidisciplinary guidelines offered by health professionals to older patients diagnosed with COVID-19 after hospital discharge. Method an integrative literature review was carried out on the databases/virtual library selected: Lilacs, MEDLINE/Pubmed, Scopus and CINAHL (EBSCO). The search strategy involved use of combinations with the following Health Science Descriptors (DeCS) and Medical Subject Headings (Mesh): Elderly (Aged); Covid-19; Aftercare and Patient Discharge combined using Boolean operators “AND” and “OR”. Results relevant articles published between January 2019 and January 2022 were identified, of which four were retrieved for inclusion and analysis. The selected studies addressed the theme of continuity of care with the perspective of intervention in health rehabilitation and symptom management and/or supervision of the functional recovery of older patients, with guidelines devised by an interprofessional team. Conclusion the study revealed the scarcity of publications on the topic of guidance provided by health care teams to older patients from the perspective of hospital discharge. The study also served to highlight the importance and need for future scientific output addressing the functional impact of COVID-19 on this population, from hospital admission to post-discharge at home, supported by strategic actions or institutional protocols that disseminate educational information preparing patients for hospital discharge and promoting self-care, well-being and quality of life of older people.

Resumo Objetivo buscar as evidências científicas disponíveis sobre orientações multidisciplinares ofertadas por profissionais da saúde aos pacientes idosos diagnosticados com a COVID-19 após a alta hospitalar. Método revisão integrativa da literatura realizada por meio das bases de dados/biblioteca virtual selecionadas para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa: Lilacs, MEDLINE/Pubmed, Scopus e CINAHL (EBSCO). Para a realização da busca foram utilizadas combinações com os seguintes Descritores em Ciência da Saúde (DeCS) e Medical Subject Headings (Mesh): Idoso (Aged); COVID-19; Cuidados Posteriores (Aftercare) e Alta do Paciente (Patient Discharge) combinados por meio dos operadores booleanos “AND” e “OR”. Resultados foram identificadas referências entre janeiro de 2019 a janeiro de 2022 e recuperados quatro artigos para inclusão e análise desta pesquisa.

Conclusão evidenciou-se a escassez de publicações sobre a temática de orientações fornecidas pela equipe de assistência à saúde às pessoas idosas na perspectiva da alta hospitalar, bem como a importância e necessidade de futuras produções científicas em torno do impacto funcional decorrentes da COVID-19 nesta população, desde o momento da admissão hospitalar até o pós-alta no retorno para casa, subsidiada por ações estratégicas ou protocolos institucionais que viabilizem informações educativas para a preparação de uma alta hospitalar pautada no autocuidado, valorização do bem-estar e qualidade de vida das pessoas idosas.

Abstract Due to the peculiarities of the reproductive cycle of the female dog, which makes it difficult to accurately ascertain the date of conception, it may be challenging to precisely estimate the gestational age in bitches. Using fetal measurements obtained by ultrasound, it is possible to estimate the gestational age in dogs; however, due to the differences in size of the various breeds, such estimates may have a significant standard deviation, which represents less accuracy when specifying the date of birth. The purpose of this study was to evaluate pregnant female Chihuahuas, establishing relations between the fetal dimensions measured by ultrasound and the remaining time until delivery. Using 13 pregnant female Chihuahuas, weekly ultrasound assessments and measurements were performed, of the inner chorionic cavity, cranial-caudal length, biparietal diameter, abdominal diameter and thoracic diameter. Such parameters were retroactively correlated to the date of delivery, and linear regressions were established between the gestational measurements and remaining days until delivery. The fetal measurement presenting the highest correlation (r = 0.99; P<0.0001) and reliability (R2 = 0.98, P<0.0001) with the probable date of delivery was the biparietal diameter, a measurement that can be easily and safely obtained and, when applying a specific formula (Y = -15.46X1 + 38.72), can accurately predict the date of delivery in Chihuahua female dogs.

Abstract Dimethylacetamide has been included in different extenders for the cryopreservation of semen from species with promising results. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of dimethylacetamide (DMA) in different concentrations, associated or not with glycerol (GLY), for the cryopreservation of ovine semen, and its effects on in vitro sperm parameters and post-thaw in vivo fertility. Five semen samples of five adult Santa Ines sheep (n=25) were used. The collected ejaculates were divided among the seven treatments for subsequent cryopreservation. The treatments presented different concentrations of DMA and GLY, being divided as G1: GLY 6%; G2: DMA 3%; G3: GLY 5% + DMA 1%; G4: GLY 4% + DMA 2%; G5: GLY 3% + DMA 3%; G6: GLY 2% + DMA 4%; G7: GLY 1% + DMA 5%. %. Post-thawing of the straws, aliquots were evaluated for computerized sperm kinetics (CASA) and plasma membrane integrity, using fluorescent probes and flow cytometry. After the in vitro evaluation of the sperm parameters, in vivo testing was performed by laparoscopic artificial insemination of 72 females. The post-thaw total motility (%) evaluated by CASA were 51.4, 51.4, 50.1, 53.6, 52.3, 52.8 and 46.9, respectively, for the seven groups. And the plasma membrane integrity (%) were 19.7, 28.4, 22.3, 29.4, 24.3, 17.9 and 16.9, respectively. There were no differences (P> 0.05) between the treatments for the parameters of spermatic kinetics and membrane integrity. For females inseminated with semen from the control group (G1, GLY6%), the percentage of pregnant females was 36.1%, a result similar to that obtained with G3 treatment (GLY5% + DMA1%). In conclusion, dimethylacetamide, either alone or in combination with glycerol, can be used for cryopreservation of ovine semen.

RESUMEN Introducción: La administración de un fármaco agonista de un alfa- 2-adrenérgicos asociado con la técnica del cateterismo uretral, es un método de desarrollo reciente en la recolección seminal en felinos, ofreciendo las ventajas sobre la recolecta por electroeyaculación y la recolecta epididimaria. La técnica se ha probado en Panthera onca y felinos de pequeño porte. Objetivos: Realizar la recolección seminal en felinos neotropicales utilizando la técnica de cateterización uretral. Determinar los parámetros testiculares y seminales de muestras recolectadas por la técnica de cateterización uretral. Metodología: En este estudio se utilizó un individuo por especie de Panthera onca, Puma yagouaroundi yLeopardus wedii localizados en el parque Zoobotánico Getúlio Vargas, Salvador, Bahia, Brasil. El semen fue recolectado por medio del cateterismo uretral y se utilizaron los farmácos: clorhidrato de medetomidina (0.1 mg /kg) y ketamina (5.0 mg /kg). Durante el desarrollo del procedimiento, se realizó la recolecta de los datos biométricos corporales y testiculares, así como la ultrasonografía de los testículos. Mediante microscopia óptica, en las muestras seminales se determinó: el vigor espermático, motilidad total, motilidad progresiva, la integridad estructural y funcional de la membrana plasmática y la morfología espermática. Las muestras se sometieron al proceso de congelación - descongelación utilizando tres diferentes crioprotectores. Las muestras descongeladas fueron evaluadas por microscopía convencional, análisis seminal computarizado y citometría de flujo. Resultados: En este estudio fue realizado con éxito la técnica de recolección seminal en las tres especies, siendo el primer estudio que informa de los parámetros seminales deP. yagouaroundiy el primero que reporta la recolección seminal uretral en L. wiedii. Los datos presentados describen de forma pionera la morfocinética espermática de las especies incluidas. No hubo diferencias (P > 0.05) en la calidad seminal evaluando por grupo de crioprotector, ni diferencias en la integridad de las membranas pré e post-congelamento. Fue posible solamente la comparación con otras técnicas de recolección seminal o con resultados de calidad seminal obtenidos de muestras de gato doméstico. Conclusión: La cateterización uretral asociada al fármaco alfa- 2-adrenérgicos es una técnica eficiente para la recolección seminal en felinos neotropicales. El establecimiento de una potencial asociación de las características físicas del animal y la calidad seminal, es información de suma importancia en la aplicabilidad para la elección de reproductores en los programas de reproducción asistida.

Abstract Introduction: The urethral catheterization associated with the application of alfa- 2 adrenergic agonist drug is a recent development and application technique for the collection of feline semen, with advantages over electro-ejaculation harvesting and epididymal harvesting. Objetives: Seminal collection in neotropical felines using the urethral catheterization technique. Determine the testicular and seminal parameters of samples collected by the urethral cataterization technique. Methods: The technique has been tested on Panthera onca and others small cats. In this study, individuals of Panthera onca, Puma yagouaroundi and Leopardus wiedii were used in captivity at Getulio Vargas Zoobotanical Park, Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Medetomidine hydrochloride (0.1 mg/kg) and ketamine (5.0 mg/kg) were used as sedatives, the semen was collected by urethral catheterization. In the process were checked the testicular biometry was performed with percutaner and ultrasonography technique. The fresh samples were evaluated for conventional microscopy in the parameters of volume, sperm vigor, total motility, progressive motility, structural and functional integrity of the plasmatic membrane and sperm morphology. The samples were subjected to a freeze - thaw process using three different extenders. The thawed samples were tested using conventional microscopy, automated system analysis and flow cytometry. Results: In this study, the urethral harvest technique was successfully used in the three species. In the literature used don’t have report about seminal parameters in P. yagouaroundi and urethral seminal collection in L. wiedii. The data presented describe the spermatic morphocinetics of the included species in a pioneer study. There were no differences (P > 0.05) in the seminal quality evaluating the extender, nor differences in the integrity of pre and post-freeze membranes of the samples. Conclusion: The urethral catheterization associated with the application of alfa- 2 adrenergic agonist drug it’s an efficient technique for semen collection in neotropical cats. The establishment of a potential association of physical characteristics with seminal quality is extremely important information on the applicability of reproductive traits in assisted reproduction programs.

This study reports on a practical experience with the integration between learning, services, and the community including members of family health teams and undergraduate medical and nursing students participating in the Educational Program for Health Work (PET-Saúde) at Santa Cruz State University. The integration took place within the context of the project "United Against Dengue", an integrated mobilization of the teaching institution, health services, and community in the fight against dengue fever in the district of Nossa Senhora da Vitória, Ilhéus, Bahia State. The projects focused on health education activities, especially with active teaching and learning methods. The mobilization included a significant range of age groups. The project's success emphasizes the importance of implementing programs such as PET-Saúde that strengthen the interaction between learning, services, and the community, important for developing more qualified health services with the capacity to interrelate health promotion, prevention, and healthcare, fostering health activities more in line with the needs of the Unified National Health System (SUS). This experience aims to contribute to the qualification and training of health professionals and students that are willing to work in an integrated and integrating approach with the community.

A Seqüência de Möbius (SM) foi inicialmente descrita por Von Graefe em 1888. Caracteriza-se por apresentar paralisia do VI e VII pares cranianos, determinando a ausência de expressão facial acompanhada de estrabismo ocular convergente. Nas crianças avaliadas deste grupo encontramos todas as características descritas. Entretanto, podem ocorrer paralisias ocasionadas por outros pares cranianos dificultando ou impossibilitando a mobilidade de língua e palato mole, com dificuldades na produção dos fonemas e/ou excesso de nasalização na emissão dos mesmos. O presente estudo teve como objetivo divulgar o protocolo utilizado em nossa Instituição com pacientes com SM e relatar um caso atendido neste serviço, como mera exemplificação. O protocolo consta de duas partes: anamnese e avaliação das estruturas e das funções estomatognáticas. A anamnese consiste na aplicação de questionário aos responsáveis, para investigar toda a história do paciente, desde a gestação até o presente momento. Na avaliação fonoaudiológica específica para o sistema estomatognático são investigados mobilidade, motricidade, tônus e postura dos órgãos fonoarticulatórios e atividades das funções neurovegetativas. Há também a investigação dos músculos responsáveis pela expressão facial que são avaliados individualmente, para se ter a real possibilidade de manifestação desses pacientes. Para exemplificação do protocolo, com ambas as partes, um paciente do sexo masculino com 10 anos de idade foi avaliado e os resultados estão aqui apresentados. O paciente faz terapia nesta Instituição desde o ano de 2000. Neste protocolo procuramos identificar tanto as manifestações fonoaudiológicas características da SM, bem como descrever as particularidades individuais.

Möbius Sequence (MS) was initially described by Von Graefe, in 1888. It is characterized by palsy of VI and VII cranial nerves, determining absence of facial expression accompanied by convergent strabismus. In the children assessed in this group all described characteristics are found. However, palsy caused by other cranial nerves may also occur, impairing soft palate and tongue mobility and thus making it difficult to produce phonemes and/or showing excessive nasalization during their emission. The present study had the aim to disclose the protocol used at our institution with MS patients and to report a case from this service, as mere example. The protocol consists of two parts: anamnesis and evaluation of stomatognathic structures and functions. The anamnesis is carried out using a questionnaire responded by the caregivers, with the aim to gather information about the patient's history, since birth. The evaluation investigates mobility, motricity, muscular tonus and posture of the phonoarticulatory organs, and activities of neurovegetative functions. The muscles responsible for facial expression are also individually assessed, in order to evaluate the real possibilities for these patients' expression. To exemplify both parts of the protocol, a 10-year-old male patient was evaluated, and the results are described in this study. He has been attending therapy at this institution since 2000. With this protocol, we had the aim to identify clinical symptoms of MS related to Speech-Language Pathology, as well as to describe the individual characteristics.
