ABSTRACT ABSTRACTObjective: Objective: Objective: Objective: Objective: to compare the knowledge of medical students between those who are members of the Trauma League (TL) and those from a non-Trauma League (NTL) group of the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES). Methods:Methods: Methods: Methods: Methods: cross-sectional, analytical and descriptive study. Two knowledge tests, with 30 questions each, were applied to students from 3 rd to 12 th period, randomly selecting five students per period, with 50 students in the TL group and 50 in NTL. The questionnaire topics were: pre-hospital care, the mnemonic ABCDE trauma sequence, advanced trauma and imaging. The students' performances were evaluated by graduationperiod group: basic (3 rd -5 th period), intermediary/clinical (6 th -8 th ) and internship (9 th -12 th ). Results: Results: Results: Results: Results: in the first test the average accuracy of the TL group was 20.64 ± 3.17, while for the NTL group, it was 14.76 ± 5.28 (p<0.005). In the second test the average accuracy for the TL group was 21.52 ± 3.64, while for the NTL group, the average was 15.36 ± 29.5 (p<0.005). When divided into graduation periods, it was observed that the TL group showed a higher average across all three groups (p<0.05) in both tests. Conclusion: Conclusion: Conclusion: Conclusion: Conclusion: the students who attended the academic league activities have greater knowledge of the issues that are considered relevant to patient trauma care. In all periods of undergraduate academic training, the TL group had greater knowledge of the subject than the NTL group.

Purpose:To investigate the effect of 72 hours food suppression on the evolution of fecal peritonitis in mice evaluating the mortality and measuring the number and size of abscesses formed into the peritoneal cavity. Methods: Mice receiving commercial diet and water ad libitum (control group, N=35) and mice fasted during 72 h (N=35), receiving only water ad libitum, were inoculated by i.p. route, with 4uL/g body weight of a fecal suspension diluted 1:6 or 1:9 in 0.15M NaCl solution (1:6 dilution, 22 controls and 18 fasted; 1:9 dilution, 13 controls and 17 fasted). Animals were followed up until two weeks after fecal inoculation, when the survivors were euthanized for evaluation of the number and size of intra-peritoneal abscesses. Mortality was evaluated by Kaplan Meyer curves. Results: Mortality was significantly higher in fasted groups than in controls. However the number and size of abscesses were significantly less in fasted groups than in controls. Conclusion: Seventy two hours food suppression increased the susceptibility to endotoxic shock (high mortality after peritonitis induction) and the resistance to infection with fecal microorganisms (less number and size of intra-peritoneal abscesses).

RESUMOObjetivo: Investigar o efeito de jejum de 72 horas na evolução de peritonite fecal em camundongos, avaliando a mortalidade e o número e tamanho dos abscessos formados na cavidade peritoneal. Métodos: Camundongos recebendo dieta ad libitum (grupo controle, N=35) e camundongos submetidos a jejum durante 72h (N=35) foram inoculados, por via intraperitoenal, com 4uL/g de peso corporal de uma suspensão de fezes diluída a 1:6 ou 1:9 em NaCl 15M (diluição 1:6, 22 controles e 18 jejum; diluição 1:9, 13 controles e 17 jejum). Os animais foram acompanhados até duas semanas após a inoculação das fezes quando eram eutanaziados para avaliação do número e tamanho dos abscessos intraperitoneais. A mortalidade foi avaliada através das curvas de Kaplan Meyer. Resultados: A mortalidade foi significativamente maior nos animais submetidos ao jejum. No entanto o número e tamanho dos abscessos foram significativamente menores neste grupo. Conclusão: O jejum de 72 horas aumentou a susceptibilidade ao choque endotóxico (maior mortalidade nas primeiras 48 horas) e aumento da resistência aos microorganismos fecais (menor número e tamanho dos abscessos intraperitoneais).

Introduction: During the Sars-Cov-2 pandemic, social distancing measures were widely adopted in Brazil, leading to a drop in blood bag stocks in blood centers. In this scenario, academic leagues emerged as a crucial tool in strengthening the relationship between academics and society. Objectives: report the strategies adopted in the promotion of extension actions at the national level and emphasize the role of academic leagues in meeting social needs. Methodology: Campaigns divided into 3 axes were adopted: 1) Holding of a technicalscientific event. 2) Creation of informative posts about blood donation. In generating national impact, support was obtained from institutions and 19 other trauma, surgery and emergency leagues. 3) Blood donation effort that mobilized academics, their families and acquaintances. Results: Documentation in photos, publication and transmission of campaigns with exposure on social networks allowed access to various audiences, reaching an estimated 10,756 accounts in the media, in addition to the mobilization of 30 people who gathered on the day of the blood donation effort. In addition, the organization of the campaign in partnership with other leagues transcended regional borders, culminating in the execution of actions in the states of Espírito Santo, Pará, Ceará and Minas Gerais. Conclusion: Given the above and social needs, the coalition of leagues allows influencing the development of extraterritorial campaigns that overcome geographical barriers and help in health promotion.
