e17062 Background: Nausea and vomiting are frequent side effects of chemotherapy and are the most feared toxicities of our patients. Aim of this study is to evaluate the potential influence of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) on survival. Methods: Synthesized raw data of three phase II/III studies (“Tower”, “Topotecan phase III” and “Hector”) of the North-Eastern German Society of Gynecological Oncology (NOGGO) including 1213 patients were analyzed using logistic regression and cox regression analyses. Results: In this analysis 661 patients (54.5%) developed grade I/II and 44 patients (3.6%) grade III/IV nausea. 343 patients (28.3%) had grade I/II vomiting and 33 patients (2.7%) grade III/IV. There were no differences between severity of CINV regarding FIGO, grading, histology and amount of recurrences. Patients <65 years developed more frequently grade III/IV nausea than patients ≥ 65 years (p<0.001, OR 1.29, 95% CI 0.68-2.46). Polypharmacy was also associated with grade III/IV CINV (p<0.001 and p=0.002 respectively). Progression free survival was worse in patients with grade III/IV nausea (p=0.023, HR 1.58, 95% CI 1.14-2.20). Median overall survival (OAS) in patients without nausea was 19.0 months compared to patients with grade III/IV nausea with 11.0 months (p<0.001, HR for grade III/IV 2.35, 95% CI 1.64-3.37). Grade III/IV vomiting was also highly associated with worse OAS (median of 22.0 months in patients without vs. 5.9 months in patients with grade III/IV vomiting, p<0.001, HR for grade III/IV vomiting 3.4, 95% CI 2.32-5.00). However, dose reductions and prior discontinuation of chemotherapy were not more frequent in patients with nausea and vomiting. Conclusions: Patients with nausea and vomiting had a decreased progression and overall survival. This study underlines once again the importance of early best supportive care on survival.

The aim of the study evaluate the quality of life of employees of the North Eastern Federal University. Materials and methods: The respondents to the WHO QoL 100 questionnaire were 37 teachers and 32 support staff with an average age of 44 years. Results and conclusions: There is a higher correlation between assessments of overall satisfaction with the quality of life and individual areas in the group of surveyed teachers compared to the group of support staff. Comparison of the parameters of the QOL areas of teachers of NEFU with the data of similar surveys of universities in Central Russia revealed a higher assessment of such areas as the “environment”, the “physical” sphere among the Yakutia’s. These results indicate the adaptability of NEFU employees to environmental conditions. Also, among the respondents of the Yakutia’s, there was revealed a great significance for the QOL of such a subsphere as support for relatives, friends and colleagues.

Este trabalho objetiva caracterizar a comunidade de palmeiras e seu potencial de utilização em doze aldeias no território Krahô, um grande remanescente de cerrado, localizado no nordeste do estado do Tocantins, Brasil. Foram percorridas as principais fitofisionomias presentes cada uma das doze aldeias e registradas as espécies presentes e o potencial de utilização dessas espécies pela comunidade (alimentação, construção, medicinal, ritual, artesanato e utensílios domésticos). A riqueza de palmeiras nativas nas aldeias está representada por um total de 17 espécies e 10 gêneros, com destaque para os gêneros Attalea (quatro espécies), Syagrus (três espécies) e Astrocaryum (três espécies). A maior parte das espécies é utilizada para alimentação e construções diversas, com quase a totalidade das espécies apresentando mais de um tipo de uso. As palmeiras nativas representam um recurso vegetal imprescindível para a manutenção da qualidade de vida e dos diferentes costumes associados a esse grupo de plantas. As práticas de manejo e de conservação devem ser analisadas em um contexto etnobiológico, buscando a manutenção desse conhecimento tradicional, que está sendo perdido, para as gerações futuras. Palavras-chave:  Cerrado; potencial de utilização; produtos não-madeiráveis; conservação da biodiversidade.   Abstract Richness and ethnobotany of palms in kraho indigenous territory, Tocantins, Brazil. This paper describes palms community and its potential of use in twelve villages in the Kraho territory, a large fragment of cerrado, located at the north-eastern of the State of Tocantins, Brazil. The main phytophysiognomy had been covered each one of the twelve villages and registered the species found and the potential of use of species for the community (feeding, constructions, medicinal, ritual, handicraft and domestic utensils). The native palms richness in the villages is represented by a total of 17 species and ten genera manly for Attalea (four species) Syagrus (three species) and Astrocaryum (three species) genera. Most of the species is used for feeding and diverse constructions, with almost the totality of the species presenting more than one type of use. The native palms represent an essential vegetal resource for the maintenance of the quality of life and the different customs associates to this group of plants. Practice of management and the conservation must be analyzed in an ethnobiologic context, searching maintenance of this traditional knowledge that is being lost for the future generations.
