Abstract: During the summer of 2022, I visited rural India and witnessed many diseases being treated with neem and turmeric. I wondered how effective these methods really were. This led me to my research question: "What are the effects of turmeric extract and neem oil on bacterial growth?" First, my team used cotton swabs to collect conjunctival samples from individuals with conjunctivitis, then used these swabs to streak three plates prepared with Mueller Hinton Agar. These plates were incubated at 37 degrees celsius for 48 hours and observed for bacterial growth. Once bacterial growth existed, the bacteria was gram-stained. Then, turmeric extract was introduced onto plate number 2, and neem oil was introduced onto plate number 3......

Abstract: Introduction: Adult malig- nant optic nerve gliomas are rare and rapidly fatal visual pathway tumours. They represent a clinical entity dif- ferent from the more common child- hood benign optic nerve gliomas, which are frequently associated with neurofibromatosis I. Case report: A 61-year-old woman presented with rapidly progressing right vision loss, lower altitudinal visual field defect and papilloedema. MRI showed in- traorbital and intracranial swelling of the right optic nerve. Resection of the intracranial part of the right optic nerve up to the chiasm revealed anaplastic astrocytoma grade III. Within 1 year, the patient died of leptomeningeal metastasis despite radiotherapy. Clinical and MRI eval- uation of the left eye and optic nerve were normal at all times.....

Abstract: Interprofessional Education is an educational approach that aims to integrate health teams to promote more collaborative and individual-centered care, moving away from fragmented models. The debate on Interprofessional Education in health is growing in Brazil and worldwide, highlighting the need for greater understanding and adoption of this approach to improve effectiveness and satisfaction in the health sector. However, its implementation still faces challenges due to the predominance of individualized techniques that still dominate health education and practice. The main objective of this study was to investigate the potentialities and challenges of interprofessional education in health, aiming to understand its impact on the training and practice of professionals in the area.....

Abstract: Retirar o paciente da ventilação mecânica pode ser mais difícil que mantê-lo. O processo de retirada do suporte ventilatório ocupa ao redor de 40% do tempo total de ventilação mecânica. Alguns autores descrevem o desmame como a "área da penumbra da terapia intensiva" e que, mesmo em mãos especializadas, pode ser considerada uma mistura de arte e ciência. A escolha de um modo de ventilação que mantenha oxigenação e ventilação adequadas, sem induzir complicações pulmonares e musculares ou retardar o processo de desmame, tem sido a preocupação de toda a equipe multiprofissional.....
