Strengthening Mental Health Though Resilience in Nursing Students: A Protocol for a Comprehensive Scoping Review.

Background: Nursing students face unique challenges during their university education, making them vulnerable to mental health problems. Psychological resilience has been identified as a protective factor against these issues. However, previous reviews have identified gaps in the literature on resilience and mental health among nursing students.

Background of persistent organic pollutants in estuarine sediments from the Marajó Island, an Amazonian environmental protection area for sustainable use.

Marajó Island, an environmental protection area for sustainable use in the Brazilian Amazon, was the first region in Brazil to apply the pesticide DDT, a persistent organic pollutant (POP), to control malaria outbreaks. This study investigated background levels of various POPs, including o,p'- and p,p'-DDT and their primary metabolites (o,p'- and p,p'-DDE, o,p'- and p,p'-DDD), as well as hexachlorocyclohexane (α-, β-, γ-, δ-HCH), using estuarine surface sediments and sediment cores from areas influenced by urbanization and agriculture. All samples were collected during the dry season (September 2014).

[Intersectoral actions and the recognition of a source of primary care for Brazilian adolescents].

This study aimed to analyze the association between the development of intersectoral actions between school/primary health care (PHC) services and the recognition of a usual source of care of PHC among Brazilian adolescents. This is a cross-sectional study, from the Brazilian National Survey of School Health (2015) conducted with a complex sampling of 97,903 adolescents. The association between intersectoral actions between PHC services and schools and the recognition of a usual source of care of PHC were estimated by the prevalence ratio (PR), using the logistic regression model and considering the sample weight factor with Stata 14.

Anticancer Activity and Mechanism of Action of Bark Decoction in Gastric Adenocarcinoma Cancer Cell Line.

, a medicinal plant autochthonal to South America and South India, is widely used in the ethnomedicine of the indigenous peoples of these regions thanks to its alleged antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and wound-healing properties. The majority of studies have mainly analyzed organic extracts of the Indian plant's flowers and leaves, with limited research on its bark decoction, traditionally used in Amazonian shamanic medicine. In this study, we investigated the anticancer effects of the bark decoction and its main fractions obtained through chromatographic separation, as well as the underlying molecular mechanisms in AGS gastric cancer cells.
