Ecoturismo em suma é uma viagem ambientalmente responsável, a áreas relativamente pouco alteradas, para desfrutar e apreciar a natureza, ao mesmo tempo em que promove a conservação cultural, ambiental e histórica de um determinado lugar, tem baixo impacto ambiental, proporciona um benefício socioecômico a população local e deve ser sempre integrado a uma atividade de educação ambiental. O presente artigo tem como objetivo elaborar uma proposta de implantação do ecoturismo, baseada em princípios de sustentabilidade ambiental, na Associação de Moradores da Barra do Saco, no município de Codó-MA. A metodologia utilizada foram pesquisas bibliográfica e, principalmente, de campo, que foi desenvolvida através de entrevistas com perguntas semi-estruturadas e registros fotográficos. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam a potencialidade ecoturística presente na área em estudo como forma de desenvolvimento econômico, cultural e social da comunidade. Dessa forma, conclui-se que a prática do ecoturismo só torna-se viável se for adotado um modelo de planejamento e gestão adequada ao cotidiano e necessidade dos moradores, respeitando sua dinâmica local e promovendo atividades de geração de renda.

Para o complexo da sorose, entretanto, esta técnica tem apresentado somente 60% de eficiência, indicando a necessidade de sua associação com termoterapia para garantir a eliminação viral. Para tanto, mudas originadas de borbulhas infetadas com sorose foram mantidas em câmara climática com 16 h de luz a 38 ºC e 8 h no escuro a 32 ºC e utilizadas para a obtenção dos ápices caulinares empregados na microenxertia. Após o pegamento, o conjunto micro porta-enxerto e brotação foi sobre-enxertado em limoeiro (Citrus limonia) 'Cravo' com sete meses de idade e mantido em condições de casa de vegetação.

Background: DCO is a phenomenon that is not restricted to individuals or environments that specifically focus on cardiovascular care. It is not only prevalent in cardiovascular care units, but also in post-anaesthesia units and non-cardiac care units among individuals with non-cardiogenic disorders. A significant decrease in cardiac output is a life-threatening situation, demonstrating the need for developing a risk nursing diagnosis for early intervention. The development of this diagnosis requires the construction of a diagnosis label, a definition of the diagnostic concept and the risk factors associated with the diagnosis. Methods: The research was carried out in two methodological stages based on the Fehring diagnosis content validation model. The quantitative analysis consisted of the calculation of the weighted mean of the values attributed by experts to each risk factor, the level of agreement/disagreement between the experts regarding the operational definitions of risk factors and the index of diagnostic content validity (DCV). Results: The label 'risk for decreased cardiac output' was considered representative of a nursing diagnosis defined as 'at risk of developing a health status characterized by an insufficient quantity of blood pumped by the heart to meet physical metabolic demands'. Critical risk factors (DCV ≥ 0•7) were myocardial dysfunction (0•887), blood loss (0•875), increase in intrapericardial pressure (0•825), condition that leads to changes in cardiac rhythm and/or electrical conduction (0•812), deficient fluid volume (0•725), plasma loss (0•712), ineffective tissue perfusion (0•712) and electrolyte imbalance (0•7). Conclusions: The research identified eight risk factors with valid content for assessment of RDCO. Implications for nursing practice: The identification of risk factors for DCO assists nurses to intervene early and minimize the consequences of a deficient cardiac function.

Clinical and biochemical improvements have been reported for MPS VI patients on enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with rhASB (recombinant human arylsulfatase B; galsulfase, Naglazyme®, BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc.), making early diagnosis and intervention imperative for optimal patient outcomes. Few studies have included children younger than five years of age. This report describes 34 MPS VI patients that started treatment with galsulfase before five years of age. Methods: Data from patients who initiated treatment at b 5 years of age were collected from patients' medical records. Baseline and follow-up assessments of common symptoms that led to diagnosis and that were used to evaluate disease progression and treatment efficacy were evaluated. Results: A significant negative correlation was seen with treatment with ERT and urinary GAG levels. Of those with baseline and follow-up growth data, 47% remained on their pre-treatment growth curve or moved to a higher percentile after treatment. Of the 9 patients with baseline and follow-up sleep studies, 5 remained unaffected and 1 patient initially with mild sleep apnea showed improvement. Data regarding cardiac, ophthalmic, central nervous system, hearing, surgical interventions and development are also reported. No patient discontinued treatment due to an adverse event and all that were treatmentemergent resolved. Conclusions: The prescribed dosage of 1 mg/kg IV weekly with galsulfase ERT is shown to be safe and effective in slowing and/or improving certain aspects of the disease, although patients should be closely monitored for complications associated with the natural history of the disease, especially cardiac valve involvement and spinal cord compression.

However, to apply adequate treatment, nurses need efficient tools to assess their patients' conditions. The purpose of this study was to characterize the tissue integrity and perfusion of the lower limbs of patients with venous ulcers based on Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) indicators. This cross-sectional, exploratory and descriptive study consisted of questionnaire information and physical examination of 49 patients with venous ulcers monitored in an outpatient clinic in the metropolitan region of Maracanaú. The statistical software package SPSS v. 13.0 was used to store and process data. Female patients were predominant; most were 60 years old or older and most were retirees or pension holders living with their partners. Growth of hair and peripheral edema were the most critical operational indicators. The nursing outcome indicators for tissue integrity and perfusion were shown to be moderately compromised. The variable representing age was shown to be inversely related to tissue integrity. The presence of heart disease was also shown to influence tissue integrity. The diastolic blood pressure variable showed a negative correlation with tissue perfusion. The assessment of tissue integrity and perfusion based on NOC indicators presented as advantages the possibility of examining several characteristics of the skin from the many operational indicators, the adaptation of parameters according to the study's results and the quantification of the compromise of these outcomes.
