Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

1. Research on a Career
PowerPoint: Physician
Assistant
Ainsley Wingard
2. Introduction
I have been interested in pursuing a career as a Physician Assistant since my
senior year in high school. I was introduced to the profession while shadowing at
a local medical center and loved how the Physician Assistant was able to work on
a team with other health care providers. My interest in the career has continued
to grow throughout the past 3 years through shadowing and summer internships. I
am extremely passionate about helping others and providing patients with the
best care possible.
The following slides include information about the Physician Assistant career,
skills and qualities related to the profession, as well as information about
graduate school.
3. History of the Physician Assistant (PA)
Profession
The PA profession was created to improve and expand healthcare.
In the mid-1960s, physicians and educators recognized there was a shortage of
primary care physicians.
Eugene A. Stead Jr., MD, of the Duke University Medical Center, put together the
first class of PAs in 1965. The first students were four Navy Hospital Corpsmen who
had received considerable medical training during their military service. Stead
based the curriculum of the PA program on his knowledge of the fast-track training
of doctors during World War II.
The PA profession gained federal acceptance and backing as early as the 1970s as a
creative solution to physician shortages.
("History." AAPA.)
4. Job Description
Physician assistants practice medicine on a team under the supervision of
physicians and surgeons.
PAs are trained to examine patients, diagnose injuries and illnesses, and
provide treatment.
They practice and prescribe medication in all 50 states, the District of
Columbia and all U.S. territories, with the exception of Puerto Rico.
(Bureau of Labor Statistics)
5. What can a PA do?
Take medical history
Conduct physical exams
Diagnose and treat illnesses
Order and interpret tests
Develop treatment plans
Counsel on preventive care
Assist in surgery
Write prescriptions
Make rounds in hospitals and nursing homes
(“History” AAPA)
6. Growth Potential
Employment of physician assistants is projected to grow 38 percent from 2012
to 2022, much faster than the average for all occupations.
Demand for healthcare services will increase because of the growing and
aging population.
PAs are expected to have a larger role in giving routine care because they are
more cost effective than physicians.
(Bureau of Labor Statistics)
7. Salary Range
The median annual wage for physician assistants was $90,930 in May 2012.
The lowest 10 percent earned less than $62,430, and the top 10 percent earned
more than $124,770.
In May 2012, the median annual wages for physician assistants in the top five
industries in which these assistants worked were as follows:
Hospitals; state, local, and private $93,660
Outpatient care centers 93,520
Offices of health practitioners 90,150
Educational services; state, local, and private 88,890
Government 86,870
(Bureau of Labor Statistics)
8. O*Net Profile of a Physician Assistant
Social —working with, communicating with, and teaching people.
Investigative —working with ideas, and require an extensive amount of
thinking. Can involve searching for facts and figuring out problems mentally.
Realistic —frequently involve work activities that include practical, hands-on
problems and solutions.
(Summary Report for Physician Assistants)
9. Interpretation of O*Net Results
My O*Net interest profiler indicated that my highest score was investigative at 39
while my second highest was social at 27. This matches perfectly with the score of
a Physician Assistant.
I am very logical and enjoy a challenge which would make me a great PA. I like
solving problems and working with data which PAs do a lot. I am very curious about
new treatments which is very important in the ever changing world of medicine.
Last summer I worked in a research laboratory and investigated a new treatment
for overactive bladder. I really enjoyed the challenge of developing a new way to
help improve the lives of patients.
I scored high in the social category as well because I am a helper. By volunteering
at a free clinic I have been able to utilize empathy and empower others to help
make behavior changes to improve their heath such as smoking cessation.
I like collaborating with others which is very important when working on a team
with other health care providers. I am an effective communicator and enjoyed
working on a research team with others and collaborating on our project.
10. Education Requirements
Physician assistants typically need a master’s degree from an accredited
educational program.
Most programs take at least 2 years of full-time postgraduate study.
Most applicants to physician assistant education programs already have a
bachelor’s degree and some healthcare-related work experience. All states require
physician assistants to be licensed.
Admission to PA school is very competitive and most applicants have some health
related work experience.
The only current PA program in the South Carolina is the Medical University of
South Carolina in Charleston.
(Bureau of Labor Statistics)
11. Physician Assistant Program at the
Medical University of SC
The MUSC Physician Assistant Program awards a Master’s of Science in Physician Assistant
Studies (MSPAS) degree.
MUSC is an academic teaching hospital and the PAS Program benefits from the vast resources
available.
Students participate in human cadaver dissection during the anatomy course as well as have
the opportunity to participate in interprofessional activities and simulation activities in the
state-of-the art simulation lab.
Prior academic work based on Prerequisite GPA, Cumulative GPA, and Science-Math GPA
A minimum 3.0 GPA is required in all 3 areas. A Bachelor’s degree is not required for admission
to the Program.
Applicants should aim for a 50th percentile score or higher in each section of the GRE to
ensure that they are competitive.

(“Admissions Information”)
14. Conclusion
After researching the Physician Assistant profession I am very confident in my
decision to pursue this career. I am extremely motivated to continue to obtain
healthcare experience through my Emergency Medical Responder certification
as well as excel in my courses to obtain admission to a PA program. Medicine
is constantly evolving and I am excited about new treatment discoveries to be
made. I am excited for the opportunity to help fill the gap due to the
shortage of primary care physicians. I hope to one day be an excellent care
provider like the PA who inspired me to pursue this profession while I was
shadowing at the medical center in high school.
