The research has investigated the difficulties that nurses from "Santa Casa" Hospital in Montes Claros-MG have had in using indicators to analyze the quality of care processes results. A transversal study of quantitative approach was carried out, with a questionnaire being applied to nurses who have obeyed the inclusion criteria. As a result, it was showed that 94,9% of the participants reported difficulties in using process indicators, considering that 50% of them got graduated less than three years ago and just 30% received information about the subject during the course. Among the difficulties, the rise of privative activities (61,5%), lack of theoretical and practical knowledge on the subject (46,2%), little knowledge about Process Management (43,6%), little involvement of the staff on the data collection (30,8%), among others. Thus, it was concluded how important it is the reflection on the nurse's privative activities inside the health facilities and readjustment of their work process, besides the insertion of the subject into nursing under graduation and graduation courses.

Background: Epigenomic dysregulation has been linked to solid tumour malignancies, including ovarian cancers. Profiling of re-programmed enhancer locations associated with disease has the potential to improve stratification and thus therapeutic choices. Ovarian cancers are subdivided into histological subtypes that have significant molecular and clinical differences, with high-grade serous carcinoma representing the most common and aggressive subtype.

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease affecting the synovial joints and causing severe disability. Environmental and lifestyle factors, including diet, have been proposed to play a role in the onset and severity of RA. Dietary manipulation may help to manage the symptoms of RA by lowering inflammation and potentially decreasing pain.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease with M1-type macrophage activation. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapies have shown promise in models of pathologies relevant to SLE, while the function and mechanism of MSC-derived exosomes (MSC-exo) were still unclear. We aimed to interrogate the effect of MSC-exo on M1-type polarization of macrophage and investigate mechanisms underlying MSC-exo.

Initially described as effectors of natural cytotoxicity and critical players for the control of viral infections and tumor growth, recent investigations unraveled more widespread functions for the natural killer (NK) cells. Through the establishment of a crosstalk with dendritic cells, NK cells promote T helper-1- and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-mediated immunity, whereas through the establishment of a crosstalk with macrophages, NK cells contribute to the activation of their microbicidal functions. Recent evidence has shown that NK cells also display memory, a characteristic thought to be privative of T and B cells, and that NK cells acquire their mature phenotype during a complex ontogeny program which tunes their activation threshold.
