to analyze demographic data, clinical profile and outcomes of patients in emergency services according to Manchester Triage System's priority level.
a cross-sectional, analytical study, carried out with 3,624 medical records. For statistical analysis, the Chi-Square Test was used.
white individuals were more advanced in age. In the red and white categories, there was a higher percentage of men when compared to women (p=0.0018) and higher prevalence of personal history. Yellow priority patients had higher percentage of pain (p<0.0001). Those in red category had a higher frequency of altered vital signs, external causes, and death outcome. There was a higher percentage of exams performed and hospitalization in the orange category. Blue priority patients had a higher percentage of non-specific complaints and dismissal after risk stratification.
a higher percentage of altered vital signs, number of tests performed, hospitalization and death were evidenced in Manchester protocol's high priority categories.

to analyze the factors associated with the use of alcohol, tobacco and illicit drugs among Brazilian undergraduate students.
observational, cross-sectional study, with convenience sampling, conducted in 2014/2015, involving institutional data and a self-completed online questionnaire, analyzed using measures of frequency, central tendency/dispersion and logistic regression.
among 126,326 students, 62.8% reported alcohol use; 11%, tobacco; and 7.5%, illicit drugs. Several academic factors-such as not residing with family (sororities [alcohol aOR2.38;95%CI2.28-2.48; tobacco AOR2.20;95%CI2.09-2.33; illicit drugs AOR2.53;95%CI2.38-2.70]), acting in university movements (student [alcohol AOR1.74;95%CI1.65-1.83; tobacco AOR1.97;95%CI1.86-2.08; illicit drugs AOR2.43;95%CI2.28-2.59] and religious [alcohol AOR0.28;95%CI0.26-0.29; tobacco AOR0.23;95%CI0.21-0.26; illicit drugs AOR0.18;95%CI0.16-0.21]) and lack of discipline/study habit (alcohol AOR1.41;95%CI1.37-1.45; tobacco AOR1.53;95%CI1.46-1.59; illicit drugs AOR1.85;95%CI1.76-1.94) - were associated with the use of the three categories of substances.
we identified that a number of academic factors are associated with licit and illicit drug use. These findings may help in designing preventive strategies among college students.

to understand the experience of aging in the perspective of nurses working in a hospital environment.
descriptive study with a qualitative approach, with interviews based on six guiding questions analyzed through Martín Heidegger's perspective on Phenomenology.
eleven nurses with a mean age of 46.2 years old participated in the study. The study unveiled the phenomenon of being a nurse in the process of aging. The speeches were divided into three categories Being-there and the different faces of aging; Being-in-the-world of work; Being-in-the-world of old age.
there was a trend towards a positive search for aging and active old age, but aspects such as fear of loneliness and abandonment ("Being-in-the-world of old age") emerged through fearful speeches. Picrotoxin supplier There is a need for gerontological education so that nurses can properly discuss and plan a healthy aging process and achieve a dignified old age.

to evaluate the effects of venous ulcer healing in patients after six months of conventional treatment and adjuvant low-power laser therapy.
prospective cohort study nested in a randomized clinical trial with 38 patients, allocated into an intervention group (conventional treatment and adjuvant laser therapy) and a control group (conventional treatment). Patients were followed up as outpatients, sociodemographic and clinical variables were collected, and indicators of the outcomes Wound healing secondary intention (1103) and Tissue integrity skin and mucous membranes(1101) of the Nursing Outcomes Classification. Generalized estimating equations, Kaplan-Meier tests, and robust Poisson regression were used in the analysis.
the clinical indicators Decreased wound size and Scar formation showed a statistically significant difference in the intervention group, higher number of healed wounds, lower rate, longer time to relapse.
laser therapy adjuvant to conventional treatment returned better results in healing and lower recurrence rates after six months of intervention.

to identify publications about the applicability of the Symptom Management Theory in nursing care to pediatric, adolescent, adult and elderly patients.
scoping review following the steps definition of the objective, research question and inclusion criteria; search, selection and analysis of publications; synthesis of results. The search occurred in the VHL, SciELO, CAPES and PubMed Journals Portal bases, contemplating publications between 1994 and July 2020.
out of 3,286 studies, ten were selected, published between 2008 and 2019. They described the relationships between the participants and the domains (person, environment, health and disease), components (symptom experience, management strategies, results) and presented strategies for symptom management.
the Symptom Management Theory was considered applicable to the participants of the studies and to nursing care. It was concluded that understanding the interaction of these elements is essential to plan actions aimed at controlling symptoms effectively.
