Sexualidade humana: nível de conhecimento dos acadêmicos de Enfermagem

El presente estudio es una investigacion cualitativa y cuantitativa descriptiva, cuyo objetivo fue verificar como el estudiante de Enfermeria conceptua terminos basicos para el entendimiento del tema Sexualidad Humana. Se constato que el estudiante tiene un nivel regular de conocimientos relativos al tema, pues, aunque logre atribuir conceptos correctos a termos mas sencillos, cuando le solicitan definiciones mas detalladas, en un nivel mas profundo y que piden una base teorica concreta, el estudiante se confunde y no logra exito. Este hecho exige una nueva evaluacion de la necesidad de la inclusion de contenidos curriculares sobre sexualidad, evitando su ocultamiento y su invisibilidad.

The Influence of the Detection Procedures of Breast Cancer in the Treatment of Women From Sergipe

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed at the identification of the ways of detection and the clinical stage of breast neoplasia, and the kinds of treatments used in Women from Sergipe. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Descriptive and exploratory study based on the quantitative approach carried out with forty women in chemotherapy treatment in Aracaju, Sergipe, interviewed in the period from March to October of 2009, through a semi structured form applied after explaining it to the patients and getting their free consents. The data analysis was made through EPI6 software. The data discussion was based on the national and international literature review related to the theme studied. RESULTS: Most of the women in the study detected breast cancer through accidental palpation (17;38, 6%) and breast auto-examination (17;38, 6%). Concerning cancer staging, 8 women (18, 1%) presented a low type (I, IA, IIA) and 36 (81, 9%) high stage (IIB, III, IIIA, IIIB or IV). The applied treatments were surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. 39 women (88, 6%) underwent surgery. From these, 27 (69, 2%) had mastectomy, 21 (47, 7%) faced neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and for 1 woman (4, 76%) this treatment was associated to radiotherapy. The adjuvant therapy applied was, exclusively, the chemotherapy, for 25 women (56, 8%). DISCUSSION: The significant number of patients who discovered the breast neoplasia through accidental palpitation and auto-examination revealed that the discovery was conditioned to luck and/or lag, favoring the nodule growth and, consequently, a dark prognostic due to the advanced stage. Moreover, questioning arouse concerning the relation to the access and/or adhesion of women to the premature detection that should be offered by health professionals while these women are being diagnosed. The need for neoadjuvant therapy, whose objective aims the tumor size reduction in order to help the surgery, prevailed among women, and this fact confirms the advanced stage on the neoplasia in most cases. 60% of the analyzed women underwent surgery, and this fact makes them more susceptible of a worse life quality when it is compared to a conservative mammary treatment. CONCLUSION: The results revealed some deficiency in the early detection, reflected in the highest frequency of aggressive surgery and pre-surgery treatment, due to the advanced stage and the metastasis presence. The need for early detection actions has to be accepted by health professionals and managers, so that less aggressive treatments can be offered, resulting in a better prognosis and life quality as well.

2253 BCL-2 expression in choroidal melanoma

Purpose: Lympboprolifcrativc ocular adnexal lesions represent 1 spectrum of disorders which range from reactive lymphoid hyperplasia to malignant lymphoma and include lewas which ared an mddcrminatc nature morphologrccally and immunophenotypically. Futhmnwe cases have been ckcvmented where progresswn from reactix hyperplasia to frank Ippboma has camed. We have applied molecular genetIc te&lques to assess their diagmstic potential. Method: Biisies horn 22 wses of orbual and con~unct~wl lymphoprobferative disease wwaniwdbistopatbok++ly and immunopheno~prally lmmunoglobulin (Ig) and T cell reczptw (TCR) gene rearrangements were detected by Southern blotting utdismg IgH and C, probes. Polymerase &ii reaction (PCR) was also used to identify Ig gene rcarrMgmImtsius~. RemIts In gcmwd then was good a-t between the methods of analysis. In only two cases was there a Lsagreemnt between diagnosis by morphological/ wi examination and molecular genctac annalys~s. One case, diagnosed as M di p-was shown to exlubit Ig gene rearrangement that \vas clonal in origin. The second case did not reveal a clonal gene xarrangement, yet appeared histologically to be a diffuse low grade non-Hodgkin‘s lymphoma. These dlwgreements maY be -lained by: i) sampling , eg. non-homogeneous sample, insufliclent sample; ii) sensitivity of the molecular gcaettc techmque. iu) bmltiltmns m establishment of ~lcmlity by IHC. findusion: Molecular tests may be diagnostic where conventmmd analysts IS uncertain. Tbv do provide additional base-line infommtmn whnch may be useful m cases which eventually show pro~essmn to frank I>mphoma
