Human bocavirus (HBoV) is an emerging virus detected around the world that may be associated with cases of acute gastroenteritis (AGE). However, its contribution to AGE has not been elucidated. This study aimed to describe the frequency, clinical features, and HBoV species circulation in children up to 5 years with or without AGE symptoms in Acre, Northern Brazil. A total of 480 stool samples were collected between January and December 2012. Fecal samples were used for extraction, nested PCR amplification, and sequencing for genotyping. Statistical analysis was applied to verify the association between epidemiological and clinical characteristics. Overall, HBoV-positivity was 10% (48/480), with HBoV-positive rates of 8.4% (19/226) and 11.4% (29/254) recorded in diarrheic and non-diarrheic children, respectively. The most affected children were in the age group ranging between 7 and 24 months (50%). HBoV infection was more frequent in children who live in urban areas (85.4%), use water from public networks (56.2%), and live with adequate sewage facilities (50%). Co-detection with other enteric viruses was 16.7% (8/48) and the most prevalent coinfection was RVA+ HBoV (50%, 4/8). HBoV-1 was the most frequent species detected in diarrheic and non-diarrheic children, responsible for 43.8% (21/48) of cases, followed by HBoV-3 (29.2%, 14/48) and HBoV-2 (25%, 12/48). In this study, HBoV infection was not always associated with AGE, as most HBoV cases belonged to the non-diarrheal group. Future studies are warranted in order to determine the role of HBoV in causing acute diarrhea disease.

The purpose of this article was to identify the prevalence of depressive symptoms in nursing students in the 1st, 4th and 8th periods of a private college in Belém-Pa. Exploratory quantitative approach research and the instrument used was the Back-ll Depression Inventory. In a sample of 147 academics, 69 (46.94%) did not present depressive symptoms, 42 (28.57%) presented mild symptoms, 31 (21.08%) presented moderate symptoms and 5 (3.40%) had severe symptoms. Most academics presented indicative of mild to moderate depression symptoms. A greater change was observed in the results of the 8th period, which, to a certain extent, is in agreement with other studies carried out with students of the health area, for this phase of the course. It is also important to highlight a high index of symptoms of severe depression in the first period. From the results obtained, it was possible to observe the need for psychological attention to nursing students of all periods, aiming to offer support to deal with situations of psychological distress.

the dynamics developed in the teaching-learning process in the discipline Nursing Care in Emergency and Trauma, taught in the 7th semester of the undergraduate nursing course, in the period referring to the second semester of 2019. Result: During the monitoring experience, activities were carried out in the realistic simulation laboratory, as well as in the classroom, with the purpose of reinforcing the contents of the curricular component, as well as clarifying possible doubts from students about the health care process addressed in classroom by the professor. It is considered that the relevance of academic monitoring in higher education goes beyond the acquisition of a curricular title; because in addition to fostering an

Objective: to analyze the knowledge of students of the Undergraduate Nursing Course of a Private Higher Education Institution in Belem, State of Pará, Brazil on Basic Life Support. Method: A cross-sectional, descriptive, exploratory study with a quantitative approach was carried out from September to October 2018. Result: In the evaluation of knowledge about Basic Life Support, on a scale of 0 to 100 points, it was verified that the lowest grade was 20.6 points and the highest was 90.4. The mean was 63.5 points, with a standard deviation of 15.5. The median was 64 points, with the interquartile deviation of 20 points (54 to 74 points). It was evidenced that 62% of the students had a grade lower than 70 points. And 19% scored less than 50 points. The population studied has reduced, and sometimes inadequate, knowledge about cardiorespiratory arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which may compromise the care provided, leading to damages to resuscitation and, consequently, to contribute to the appearance and / or aggravation of sequels, impacting on increased morbidity and mortality. Conclusion: it is understood that it is fundamental to establish training and evaluation of these, in a theoretical and practical, as a way to optimize and consolidate knowledge even during academic training.
