The national economy has undergone numerous changes in recent decades in the livestock sector, such changes are related to the development and commercial application o reproductive biotechnologies to increase the speed with which genetic improvement is being realized as a highlight and the technique of In vitro fertilization and available formation wide technology, and has been widely used. Being a recent biotech in vitro production of embryos aims to obtain embryos outside their productive tract of the female for it are a few steps as in vitro maturation of oocytes, in vitro fertilization, and cultivation in vitro. The identification and selection of recipients of high quality are not simple and has relevance to the success of the activity. Several studies have reported variables that influence the result of the synchronization of recipients. From this study believed to be that Brazil will continue to lead in the production of in vitro embryos and will provide the genetic increasingly interested countries.
Objective: Analyze profile of users of primary health care services affected by leprosy, as well as the medical professionals and nurses responsible for the follow -up of these patients.Methods: This is a field study that surveyed the socioeconomic and clinical profile of 25 patients affected by leprosy, attended at the municipal health units of the urban area of Teresina-PI, as well as the professional profile and clinical practices of 15 physicians and 19 nurses responsible for the follow-up of these patients.Results: It was observed a profile of people affected by leprosy, characterized by: individuals aged 50 years or more; predominantly male; with low schooling and income. The clinical characteristics reveal a high prevalence of multibacillary cases of leprosy and with a significant diagnosis of some degree of physical disability. Regarding the profile of the professionals and their clinical behaviors, it was verified that the majority had post-graduation and a long time of experience in primary health care and leprosy control actions, however, it has been shown that they do not always put into practice all actions necessary for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Conclusions:The profile of patients with leprosy treated at the municipal health units in the urban area of Teresina was similar to that found in other Brazilian territories, thus evidencing the need to implement public social support policies and more effective diagnostic and therapeutic follow-up practices by reduce the high rates of endemicity of the disease.
Objective: Evaluate the performance of primary health care in control of leprosy in Teresina, Brazil from the perspective of users and professionals. Methods:This cross-sectional, descriptive study involved 25 healthcare users with leprosy and 34 professionals (physicians and nurses) working in 13 municipal health units within the urban area of Teresina. The data were collected from January to June, 2017, using the Instrument for Assessing the Performance of Primary Care in Leprosy Control Actions, a document based on the Primary Care Assessment Tool/PCATool Brasil which measures the presence and extension of essential and derived attributes from primary health care. Results:The mean scores obtained for the essential, derived and global attributes, through the perception of the users, were lower than 6.6, indicating that the primary health services in Teresina are not sufficiently oriented to carry out leprosy control actions, mainly in terms of access, integrality of services provided, family orientation and community orientation. The professionals showed a contrasting view, with averages exceeding 6.6 for all attributes and scores. The difference in perception between the groups was significant for all attributes except for coordination (Mann-Whitney U test, p = 0.479). The overall evaluation of quality was not influenced by the user's clinical or socioeconomic variables, but rather by the organization/ provision of services. Conclusions:The municipal health units within the urban area of Teresina must be strongly guided by primary health care attributes in order to reach higher levels of user satisfaction.
