O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar impacto do ensino e aprendizado de conceitos de bioquímica e microbiologia, por meio do atividades práticas, no ensino da Biologia. Os participantes da pesquisa foram alunos do ensino médio do IFCE-Iguatu, Ceará, Brasil. A pesquisa foi realizada conforme as exigências éticas e científicas da resolução 466/2012. A pesquisa foi fundamentada em metodologias ativas, a partir da intervenção pedagógica e, as ações foram divididas em duas etapas: a primeira consistiu na elaboração e aplicação das atividades práticas e a segunda, tratou-se da avaliação de aulas práticas e aplicação de questionário específico. As aulas práticas foram avaliadas pelos alunos por meio de um questionário com perguntas diretas usando a escala hedônica estruturada de cinco pontos. Aplicou-se técnica de Brainstorming sobre conceitos que os alunos tinham antes e depois dos experimentos. Conclui-se que ensino de bioquímica e microbiologia, por meio de aulas práticas, com uma abordagem interdisciplinar tiveram importante impacto no aprendizado dos alunos, resultando na construção de conhecimentos, motivação, facilitação da aprendizagem, e promoção da qualidade de vida dos alunos.

Abstract At The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) we treat many children requiring tracheostomy tube placement. With potential for a tracheostomy tube to be in place for an extended period of time, these children may be at risk for long-term disruption to normal speech development. As such, speaking valves that restore more normal phonation are often key tools in the effort to restore speech and promote more typical language development in this population. However, successful use of speaking valves is frequently more challenging with infant and pediatric patients than with adult patients. The purpose of this article is to review background information related to speaking valves, the indications for one-way valve use, criteria for candidacy, and the benefits of using speaking valves in the pediatric population. This review will emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration from the perspectives of speech-language pathology and respiratory therapy. Along with the background information, we will present current practices and a case study to illustrate a safe and systematic approach to speaking valve implementation based upon our experiences.

Prophylactic mastectomy is an aggressive strategy for breast cancer risk reduction. The indications and efficiency of this procedures are not yet clearly defined. Randomized, prospective studies, comparing different surgical procedures with other modalities of breast cancer risk reduction are lacking. The report evaluates the existing controversy, based on Medline search in the following sequence: risk factors, possibilities of risk reduction, effectiveness of risk reduction, technical considerations and recommendations. Patient selection is difficult and needs an interdisciplinary approach. The women have to be well informed about all treatment alternatives and various reconstructive procedures. An appropriate risk reduction strategy should be selected individually for each patient. Up to now, there exist only recommendations from different institutions but no definitive guidelines.
