A representação das mulheres na tecnologia tornou-se uma prioridade em todo o mundo e, com esse intuito, o presente artigo mostra uma iniciativa desenvolvida para pessoas que se identificam como tal, com o objetivo de aumentar as estatísticas de mulheres na área, apresentando noções tecnológicas. A iniciativa, denominada Imersão Tecnológica para Mulheres (ITM), oferece o ensino de dialetos usuais na área e apresenta os grandes feitos de mulheres que deixaram sua marca na tecnologia. Além das várias possibilidades de carreira, como jogos e ciência de dados, também promove a colaboração mútua com dinâmicas interativas. Dessa forma, objetiva inverter a lógica tradicional de que as mulheres devem se adaptar a um ambiente tecnológico dominado por homens.

IntroductionIn order to find out the frequency rates of domestic and wild animal bites as well as the evaluation of the prevalence rates of rabies disease in the human population in the Province of Kerman, a retrospective study was designed to analyze statistically the collected recorded data related to this project. Methods This study was conducted within the framework of MPVM student research projects by means of collaboration between

Background IBD, including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are chronic recurrent inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, most often diagnosed in adolescence and young adulthood. Extra-intestinal manifestation (EIM) may be present initially in up 50% or before IBD is diagnosed. IBD and its complications are associated with morbidity and has considerable impact upon patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL). HRQoL is an essential complement to the examination of clinical symptoms and functional limitations and has emerged as an important outcome measure to evaluate an individual’s adaptation to a chronic medical condition like IBD. It is known the neurocognitive maturation that support integration of executive and emotion systems are not fully mature until 25 years, making this period a time of socio-emotional vulnerability and adjustment. So, our objective was to evaluate the HRQoL in adolescents and young adults (AYA) patients with IBD and compare with a peer’s health control and investigate the variables which can be attributed to HRQoL in these patients. Methods 59 AYA IBD patients (13–25 years) and 60 AYA healthy controls (13–25 years) completed the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 (PedsQL4.0), Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaires and pain visual scale, according to age. After we compared HRQoL between Crohn’s disease (CD) vs. UC (ulcerative colitis) in AYA population. The demographic data, extra-intestinal manifestation, overlap syndromes, disease active status, treatment and outcomes were also evaluated. Results PedsQL4.0 domain ‘school/ work’ and SF-36 domain ‘general health perception’ was reduced in IBD AYA patients compared with healthy controls (p < 0.05). However, no difference in all domains and pain scale was observed between CD and UC AYA patients. Disease activity, as well as extra-intestinal manifestations, overlap syndromes, treatments and outcomes, did not influence the HRQoL of the AYA patients. Autoimmune sclerosing cholangitis and the use of prednisone were significantly higher among UC patients, whereas previous gut surgery was higher between CD patients. However, these disease factors did not significantly influence the HRQoL between CD vs. UC. Conclusion HRQoL was significantly lower among IBD AYA patients when compared with healthy controls. Disease factors did not influence HRQoL between CD and UC AYA patients. These results highlight areas to focus clinical attention for assessment and future interventions among AYA with IBD.

valves were involved in 9 and 8 cases, respectively. Cardiac involvement was silent in 36.4% and occurred as an initial presenting symptom of SLE in 9.1% cases. Biologically, patients with cardiac involvement had higher levels of CRP and anti dsDNA, and lower levels of complement C3 compared to patients with no cardiac involvement; while SLE activity was the only significant predictor for cardiac involvement (Beta=0.654; p=0.020) Conclusions Cardiac complications are common (1 out of 3 times). They are predicted by high SLE activity and antidsDNA, CRP and low C3 levels. Reguiar echocardiography is erommended for Patients with high SLE activity.
