Objetivo: descrever as características dos atendimentos em uma unidade de pronto-atendimento pediátrico. Método: estudo descritivo e observacional, de abordagem quantitativa, desenvolvido em Hospital de Pronto-Atendimento Pediátrico em Teresina, Piauí, com amostra probabilística de 637 prontuários de crianças atendidas durante o ano de 2017. Resultados: observou-se maior demanda de crianças do sexo masculino, com até dois anos de idade, procedentes da capital do estado e atendidas no segundo trimestre. As queixas que motivaram a busca pelo serviço foram: febre, tosse, vômitos, coriza, diarreia e congestão nasal, entre diversas outras. Observou-se sazonalidade no processo de adoecimento desse grupo populacional. Conclusão: a unidade estudada demonstrou organização satisfatória quanto aos atendimentos ofertados; porém, em algumas situações existe procura em grande demanda, gerando superlotações por atendimentos que não são caracterizados de situações de urgências/emergências pediátricas. Tais atendimentos deveriam ser realizados em locais com serviços de menor complexidade.

ABSTRACT Yrr1p is a recently described Zn2Cys6 transcription factor involved in the pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) phenomenon. It is controlled in a Pdr1p-dependent manner and is autoregulated. We describe here a new genome-wide approach to characterization of the set of genes directly regulated by Yrr1p. We found that the time-course production of an artificial chimera protein containing the DNA-binding domain of Yrr1p activated the 15 genes that are also up-regulated by a gain-of-function mutant of Yrr1p. Gel mobility shift assays showed that the promoters of the genes AZR1, FLR1, SNG1, YLL056C, YLR346C, and YPL088W interacted with Yrr1p. The putative consensus Yrr1p binding site deduced from these experiments, (T/A)CCG(C/T)(G/T)(G/T)(A/T)(A/T), is strikingly similar to the PDR element binding site sequence recognized by Pdr1p and Pdr3p. The minor differences between these sequences are consistent with Yrr1p and Pdr1p and Pdr3p having different sets of target genes. According to these data, some target genes are directly regulated by Pdr1p and Pdr3p or by Yrr1p, whereas some genes are indirectly regulated by the activation of Yrr1p. Some genes, such as YOR1, SNQ2, and FLR1, are clearly directly controlled by both classes of transcription factor, suggesting an important role for the corresponding membrane proteins.

Care Practices

Purpose Health is at the center of society concerns, being characterized by the dilemma of contributing to the population well-being, while demanding high financial investments at the same time. In this sense, information technology (IT) becomes essential for the progress of the sector, directly impacting on how care practices are performed. This study aims to analyze the adoption of mobile devices in the mobile emergency care service (MECS) of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Design/methodology/approach The authors carried out a multi-method study with an initial qualitative exploration through a focal group, followed by a survey. Potential determinants and impacts of mobile device use on the work context of the MECS teams were identified. Following, we tested the proposed conceptual model applying a questionnaire to 350 professionals from a total of 160 bases throughout the State. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was used to test the hypotheses herein. Findings The authors found that Satisfaction with the Use of Mobile PHC (PHC – Primary Health Care) is determined by the application compatibility with MECS work, followed by the performance expectancy with the use of the technology and the technical support provided to the users – acting as important facilitators of this process; while the technological complexity inherent in the use of the technology appears as the main barrier to the success of this technology. Besides, the authors found that both intensity of Use and Satisfaction with the Use of the technology provide different benefits to those involved (teams, patients and the organization). Research limitations/implications As limitations of the study, the authors point out to the fact that the data are from a single Brazilian State, and therefore, its results cannot be generalized. Another limitation is that the study considered only the use of a specific mobile technology, which requires caution when using this information in contexts where the health information technology is different, besides the fact that the findings may not be compatible in environments where IT adoption is voluntary. Practical implications The study can help managers of public and private organizations in the planning and implementation of different technologies, whether mobile or applied to the health context, as well as in the expansion of their use in their respective institutions. Social implications The research contributes to other studies that realize that the adoption of IT can cause relevant changes to health being associated to productivity gains and improvement of the quality of service provided to society through different forms and solutions. Originality/value The adoption and use of IT – such as mobile devices – impacts on how care practices are performed in the MECS, providing different benefits to those involved (teams, patients and the organization).

Este artigo objetivou descrever o perfil do atendimento pré-hospitalar às gestantes e puérperas pelo Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência (SAMU) em um município baiano em 2010. Trata-se de pesquisa descritiva, documental e de abordagem quantitativa, realizada a partir de dados secundários gerados de 385 fichas de atendimento; a coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de formulário adaptado da ficha de atendimento desse serviço, de dezembro de 2011 a abril de 2012. Os dados foram tabulados por meio da distribuição de frequências e analisados por meio da estatística simples. Do total de fichas analisadas, foram atendidas 360 gestantes (93,5%), sendo 78 multigestas (20,3%); 107 encontravam-se na faixa etária de 20 a 24 anos (27,8%); 95 tinham idade gestacional entre 38 e 42 semanas (24,7%); e 208 estavam em trabalho de parto (54,0%). Entre as gestantes, 337 tiveram parto hospitalar (87,5%) e 152 foram encaminhadas para maternidades públicas (39,5%); 99 atendimentos foram realizados entre 00:00 e 06:00 (25,7%). Quanto ao clampeamento de cordão, 13 procedimentos foram registrados (3,5%), bem como 11 delivramentos (2,9%). Concluiu-se que o perfil do atendimento pré-hospitalar às gestantes e puérperas pelo serviço esteve voltado ao trabalho de parto, parto e puerpério, o que pode estar relacionado à percepção de facilidade, rapidez e segurança.
