Objective: to know the contributions of nursing in the implementation of the quality management principle of the accreditation program in imaging diagnosis.
Methods: a single, qualitative case study carried out in an accredited radiology and imaging diagnosis service. The data collection took place through semi-structured interviews, direct observation, and documentary analysis with the support of software in organizing the data for analysis.
Results: a total of four thematic units emerged: the accreditation process in imaging services, the implementation of the program, the role of nursing in imaging services and patient safety and the management of non-conformities in imaging services. Of the other data sources, the word risk was highlighted and a non-conformity was evidenced in the external audit.
Final Considerations: nursing contributed mainly to the management of the risks involved in the performance of imaging and patient safety tests, requirements of the quality management principle of the accreditation program.

Importance: Secondary lymphedema is a common, harmful side effect of breast cancer treatment. Robust risk models that are externally validated are needed to facilitate clinical translation. A published risk model used 5 accessible clinical factors to predict the development of breast cancer-related lymphedema; this model included a patient's mammographic breast density as a novel predictive factor.

Dust emissions from open-pit mining pose a significant threat to environmental safety and human health. Currently, the range of dust suppressants used in coal mining is limited, often failing to account for their suitability across various stockpiles. This oversight results in poor infiltration after application, leading to insufficient crust formation and reduced durability.

Urban reservoirs are frequently exposed to impacts from high population density, polluting activities, and the absence of environmental control measures and monitoring. In this study, we investigated the use of satellite imagery to assess restoration measures and support decision-making in a hypereutrophic urban reservoir. Since 2016, Lake Pampulha (Brazil) has undergone restoration measures, including the application of Phoslock®, to mitigate its poor water quality conditions.
