The study aimed at learning the coping behaviour of six families with chronic diseases, through three home visits, using interviews, form of identification, genogram and eco-map. In general, families face satisfactorily the chronic stress situations. It was needed to forfill the difficult task of exercising the broader view, required the nurse to understand that the process of work is not restricted to acting on diseases and disorders, but give the family conditions to earn health in all its dimensions.

Brazil Backgound: Multi Row Detector Computed Tomography (MRDCT) was proposed as a mean of obtaining non-invasive imaging of the coronary vessels and it could be useful in evaluating the late results of patients undertaken to Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG). Its actual contnbution lo this goal, however is still debated. Methods: To evaluate contribution of MRDCT in this role we selected 100 patients in the late follow-up after CABG. All patients underwent MRDCT with ECG gated acquisitions with the injection of 1.5 ml/kg of contrast media. Images were retrospectwally raconstrutted. Cardiac catheterization was done one week after MRDCT to evaluate its results. An intlependent reviewer compared the results of both imaging techniques. Results: The age of the patients was 68 r 8 years and the interval between CABG and MRDCT was 6.4 * 1.3 years. There were 230 grafts / patient, of which 96 were mamary arteries and 134 veins. Most patients (78) ware asymptomatic, 13 had stable angina and 9 unstable angina. MRDCT identified all grafts. showing that 6 mammary arteries and 54 grafts ware occluded, 38 vein grafts had severe stenosis, 12 had mild las~ons and the remaining were normal. Invawe angiography showed the same number of occlusions, but identified 33 vein grafts with severe stenosis and 17 with mild lesions. As for the native coronary arteries, MRDCT identified progression of disease in non revascularized segments in 24 patients, while angiography identified 31 cases (5 distal circunflex arterk?s, 1 diagonal branch and 1 marginal branch, both < 1.5 mm). Conclusion: MRDCT can assess the late patency of the grafts of patients in the late follow-up after CABG, but it overestimates the severity of obstructions. It may also show progression of disease in native coronary arteries, even though its accuracy is reduced in the distal coronary arteries and in small secondary branches.

Acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity was colorimetrically evaluated for these oils. For M. myrcioides, monoterpene hydrocarbons represented the major class in the volatile oil, with α-pinene as the most abundant component and a weak inhibitory activity was observed, whilst for E. riedeliana sesquiterpenes were found in higher amounts, being valerianol the major compound, and this oil presented a strong acetylcholinesterase inhibition.

The main constituents found were δ-amorphene (16.5 %), cis-muurola-4(14),5-diene (14.29 %) and γ-muurolene (13.26%). The crude extracts and isolated compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity. Hydroalcoholic extracts of different parts of Piper ovatum Vahl, essential oil and amides isolated from leaves were tested against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and Candida species. All extracts and amides were active against Bacillus subtilis and Candida tropicalis, including clinical strains. Essential oil was active against C. tropicalis. These amides showed an inhibitory effect on the adherence of C. tropicalis ATCC 28707 on cover glasses at 10 µg/mL, but did not show morphological alterations at the tested concentrations. Amides were identified as piperovatine and piperlonguminine, and showed MIC values of 15.6 and 31.2 µg/mL to B. subtilis and 3.9 µg/mL to C. tropicalis, and low toxic effects to Vero cells and macrophages.
