to identify anthropometric techniques and measurements related to nursing diagnoses and interventions, included in the NANDA International (NANDA-I) and Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC), respectively.
descriptive study of the revision of the NANDA-I and NIC taxonomies by professors of Nursing of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
A total of 24 nursing diagnoses, 20 nursing interventions and 71 nursing activities were identified that require the use of anthropometric measurements.
anthropometric measurements are necessary in the conduct of numerous nursing diagnoses and nursing interventions that are commonly used in healthcare practice. It would be useful to systematize the use of anthropometric techniques in the application of the nursing process and to standardize this training process.

to investigate the process of implementing advance directives in palliative care teams in southern Brazil.
an exploratory-descriptive study with a qualitative approach conducted with 51 professionals from seven palliative care teams from December 2018 to April 2019. Data were collected through semi-structured online interviews and submitted to discursive textual analysis.
the implementation process starts on approach of the advance directives with patients, so that their wishes and desires are the guiding axis for planning care and conduct.
the palliative philosophy is important with regard to advance directives, due to the preparation of these professionals in the search for dignity, quality of life and respect for patient autonomy, in addition to reducing suffering and offering dignified death, based on the understanding of human finitude as a natural process that belongs to life.

to develop and evaluate the convergence of the instrument for the appearance validity of educational technologies in health.
methodological study conducted in two steps. In step 1, the instrument items were developed, with subsequent content validity by nine specialists in the development of educational technologies in health. In step 2, the convergent validity between another instrument and the appearance instrument was performed. Correlation results above r> 0.3 and p <0.05 were considered as plausible convergent validity.
the ten items of the initial version of the appearance instrument were submitted to content validity that resulted in a final version with 12 items (Content Validity Index = 0.93). The correlation indexes were strong with the objective and appearance domains; moderate with motivation, organization and total; and weak with writing style.
the appearance instrument demonstrated content validity and convergent validity, in addition to a strong correlation with the other instrument.

to synthesize scientific evidence on nurses' strategies and competencies in men's health care.
an integrative review carried out in seven databases, with a time frame from 2009 to 2019, using the descriptors "men's health", "professional competence", "nursing", "nursing care" and "male" in Portuguese and in English.
ten articles were selected, in which it was demonstrated that nursing professionals develop their professional practices with regard to men's health care, in convergence with the general skills of the profession. The most used are health care; decision-making; Communication; administration; management; continuing education and leadership, consecutively.
professionals' efforts to strengthen health actions, aimed at male needs, in accordance with the general skills of the profession and the principles and guidelines of the Brazilian National Policy for Comprehensive Care to Men's Health.

to develop the safe surgery checklist for liver transplantation according to the original model of the World Health Organization and perform content validation.
a methodological research developed in four stages integrative review; expert participation; consensus among researchers; and content validation using the Delphi technique in two rounds, by five judges. selleck kinase inhibitor For data analysis, the Content Validation Index was used.
the first version of the checklist consisted of four surgical moments with 64 items of verification, with an average Content Validation Index of 0.80. After adjustments, in the second round the checklist maintained four surgical moments with 76 items and a Content Validation Index of 0.87.
the checklist was validated and adequate for the safety of liver transplantation in the surgical environment, given that each item established must be mapped and managed for the success and effectiveness of the procedure.

to identify scientific production on safety-related aspects/characteristics in the performance of Primary Health Care professionals for professional safety constructs.
integrative literature review in the BDENF, IBECS, LILACS, MEDLINE databases.
the corpus of this review refers to 16 articles that highlighted work overload, work process, insufficient human resources, precarious work environment conditions, lack of continuing education, team relationship and with users, evidencing that they are factors that possibly compromise health care and professional safety for best practices.
to know the factors that impact in the scope of professional safety allows to subsidize interventions that guarantee best practices. This study originally contributes to the formulation of Primary Health Care professional safety constructs.

to analyze the Brazilian scientific integrative review production in postgraduation nursing programs.
bibliometric design, carried out in the database of dissertations and theses of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel, in October 2018.
35 dissertations and 1 thesis were found. Most studies were carried out at the University of São Paulo; the main methodological reference was Mendes, Silveira and Galvão (2008); for data collection, it was Ursi (2005). The most used database was CINAHL, followed by LILACS and PubMed. The period of publication varied from 5 to 30 years; and the sample, from 6 to 299 texts. Some studies did not mention keywords, data collection period, exclusion criteria or publishing period.
despite the growing popularity of integrative review studies, they are undervalued in the stricto sensu postgraduation program in nursing and there are shortcomings in the implementation of the method, related to the absence of important elements.

This infection is endemic in the Americas region. Neurological Chagas reactivation is diagnosed through the visualization of the parasite in the cerebrospinal fluid, blood, or tissue samples. Herein, we report the visualization of trypomastigotes by direct microscopic observation of a brain biopsy specimen and its preservation fluid (PF) in a paitient infected with VIH and T. cruzi. This easy and simple diagnostic method coupled with quantitative polymerase chain reaction can be used in all tissue biopsies and PF of T. cruzi seropositive patients, suspected of Chagas disease reactivation.Bee venom is a natural toxin composed of several peptides. Massive envenoming causes severe local and systemic reactions. We report two cases of severe bee envenomation, of which one was fatal. We also describe clinical characteristics and immune markers. Both victims suffered from respiratory distress, renal failure, rhabdomyolysis, and shock. They required invasive mechanical ventilation, vasoactive drugs, and renal replacement therapy. Moreover, serum levels of chemokines, cytokines, and cell-free circulating nucleic acids demonstrated an intense inflammatory process. Massive envenoming produced systemic injury in the victims, with an uncontrolled inflammatory response, and a more significant chemotactic response in the fatal case.Post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis is a skin disorder occurring in 5-10% of visceral leishmaniasis patients after treatment with miltefosine,the first-line drug for this skin disorder. We reported a case of acute anterior uveitis,a rare adverse effect, experienced by a patient treated with miltefosine for post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis. This adverse effect developed after 15 days of miltefosine consumption, and the patient himself discontinued the treatment. The ophthalmic complication was completely resolved with antibiotics and steroid eye drops. After recovery from the ophthalmic complication, the patient was successfully treated with liposomal amphotericin B for the skin lesions.
