(MPEG). Etymology. This species is named based on the Muncipality of Santa Bárbara do Pará, where the specimen was collected. Taxonomic discussion. Monohelea barbara most closely resembles M. roraimensis Felippe-Bauer, M. gorayebi sp.nov. and M. visinensis sp.nov. by the brown legs with yellowish bands and by the presence of two apical processes in the paramere. However, one apical process of the paramere is beak-shaped and other hookshaped, similar in lenght, laterally directed (both processes are hook-shaped, one 2X longer than other, laterally directed in M. gorayebi; one process is beak-shaped, laterally directed, and other bilobed internally directed, different in length in M. roraimensis; one process is hook-shaped laterally directed, and other aculeated, anteroventraly directed in M. visinensis); by the basal arms of the aedeagus slender, not expanded laterally (basal arms large, greatly expanded laterally in M. gorayebi; basal arms slender, slightly expanded laterally in M. visinensis).Published as part of Felippe-Bauer, Maria Luiza, Cardoso, Erick Aragão & Trindade, Rosimeire Lopes Da, 2017, New species and new records of Monohelea Kieffer from eastern Amazon, Brazil (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Zootaxa 4358 (1), DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4358.1.6, http://zenodo.org/record/106751

Contribuições da enfermagem para a integralidade do cuidado as pessoas idosas com hipertensão arterial
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Enfermagem, Florianópolis, 2015.As Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis (DCNTs) relacionam-se a um tema de grande relevância, pois seu aumento é notável na realidade brasileira. Dentre elas, a Hipertensão Arterial (HA) na pessoa idosa merece atenção por suas características psicossociais. O estudo teve como objetivo geral: Compreender as percepções dos trabalhadores de enfermagem sobre a pessoa idosa com hipertensão arterial no âmbito da ESF em um distrito sanitário de Natal/RN. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa do tipo exploratória descritiva. Os participantes do estudo foram 20 trabalhadores de enfermagem, tendo como cenário a ESF. Os dados foram coletados no período de março a julho de 2014, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas que foram gravadas e transcritas. Os dados foram analisados combinando a análise de conteúdo com o software Atlas.Ti 7.0. Em relação aos aspectos éticos, o projeto de pesquisa foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa com Seres Humanos da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina com parecer favorável de nº 551.146/2014, sendo também autorizado pela Secretaria Municipal de Saúde; os participantes tiveram conhecimento dos objetivos propostos no estudo e assinaram o Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido (TCLE). Os dados evidenciaram o fenômeno central: ?Contribuições da enfermagem para a integralidade do cuidado as pessoas idosas com hipertensão arterial, que é sustentado por sete categorias: Capacidade funcional comprometida; Condições adversas para o cuidado na família; Descuido da família com o idoso hipertenso; Processo de cuidado de enfermagem; Promoção da saúde; Elementos que favorecem o cuidado ao idoso hipertenso; Processos que dificultam o cuidado ao idoso hipertenso; Inexistência de intersetorialidade; e descontinuidade do cuidado na rede assistencial. A articulação entre essas categorias mostra a complexidade da vivência com essa condição crônica. Os achados são apresentados em forma de três manuscritos: ?O idoso hipertenso segundo trabalhadoras de enfermagem?; ?Significados atribuídos ao cuidado do idoso hipertenso: um estudo com trabalhadores de enfermagem? e ?A assistência ao idoso hipertenso no âmbito da ESF segundo trabalhadores de enfermagem.? Com base em tais resultados, sustenta-se a tese ?As percepções das trabalhadoras de enfermagemacerca das pessoas idosas com hipertensão arterial influenciam na atenção integral e nas ações de cuidado que promovem a saúde e a prevenção das complicações decorrentes.? Acredita-se que o estudo fornecerá informações relevantes que poderão influenciar o manejo dessa condição crônica na pessoa idosa na atenção primária. O resultado deste estudo é importante para os profissionais de enfermagem, pois o conhecimento dessa vivência os mantem atentos não só às características e às manifestações clínicas da doença, mas também às subjetividades que permeiam essa condição crônica e as necessidades individuais do idoso hipertenso. Nesse sentido, a enfermagem tem papel primordial no vínculo e na assistência à pessoa idosa com hipertensão e com sua família, fortalecendo ações, atividades de promoção da saúde por meio do reconhecimento de suas necessidades e o planejamento de ações na atenção primária à saúde.Abstract : The Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases (CNCDs) relate to a very important issue because its increase is remarkable in the Brazilian reality. Among them, arterial hypertension (HA) in the elderly deserves attention for its psychosocial characteristics. The study aimed to: understand the perceptions of nursing staff about the elderly person with high blood pressure within the ESF in a health district of Natal/RN. It is a qualitative research of descriptive exploratory type. Study participants were 20 nursing workers, against the backdrop of the ESF. Data were collected from March to July 2014 through semi-structured interviews that were recorded and transcribed. Data were analyzed by combining content analysis with the software ATLAS.ti 7.0. Regarding the ethical aspects, the research project was approved by the Ethics Committee on Human Research of the Federal University of Santa Catarina with a favorable opinion of No. 551,146/2014, and is also authorized by the Municipal Health; participants were aware of the objectives proposed in the study and signed the Informed Consent and Informed (IC). The data showed the central phenomenon: "Contributions of nursing for the comprehensive care of older people with high blood pressure, which is supported by seven categories: compromised functional capacity; Adverse conditions for care in the family; Family neglect of the elderly hypertensive; Nursing care process; Health promotion; Elements that favor the care of the elderly hypertensive; Processes that hinder the care of elderly hypertensive; Intersectionality of absence; and discontinuity of care in the health care network. The link between these categories shows the complexity of living with this chronic condition. The findings are presented in the form of three manuscripts: "The elderly hypertensive second nursing professionals"; "Meaning attributed to the care of hypertensive elderly: a study of nursing staff" and. "The care of the elderly hypertensive under the ESF second nursing workers" Based on these results, holds up the thesis "Perceptions of worker Nursing about older people with high blood pressure influence the comprehensive care and the care actions that promote health and the prevention of complications. "It is believed that the study will providerelevant information that may influence the management of this chronic condition in the elderly in primary care. The result of this study is important for nursing professionals, because knowledge of this experience keeps them aware not only the characteristics and clinical manifestations of the disease, but also to the subjectivities that permeate this chronic condition and individual needs of the elderly hypertensive. In this sense, nursing has key role in the bond and elder care with hypertension and his family, strengthening actions, health promotion activities by recognizing their needs and planning actions in primary health care
