The purpose of this article is to consider some historical aspects of the formation of popular Catholicism in Brazil and in the Midwest seeking to identify their main arising. Then, the article takes up this issue and address the cultural problem of religious forms of Catholicism and popular religion. Finally, the article takes the results exposed the analytical focus and concentrate the expression of both religious forms treated here. The article is a methodological construction review and seeks to broaden the debate within the scope of religious studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In vitro tissue culture can be an alternative method for endangered species propagation, biodiversity conservation and secondary metabolite studies. Paratecoma peroba (Record) Kuhlm. (Bignoniaceae) is an endemic and endangered Brazilian species. This work aimed to establish in vitro morphogenesis and callus induction and to perform a phytochemical analysis of P. peroba callus extract. Higher seed germination (43%) was obtained in Wood Plant Medium culture without activated charcoal (AC). Combination of 5 µM benzyladenine + 10 µM gibberellic acid, without AC, resulted in a higher number of shoots (2 shoots/explant). A callus culture was stabilised from zygotic embryos using 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. A callus methanolic extract was used for phytochemical analysis. The isolated substance was identified as tiliroside (kaempferol 3- O-β-D -(6''- O-E-p -coumaroyl)-glucopyranoside) by NMR and quantified in callus and leaf extracts by HPLC. This study adds to the chemical knowledge of this species and it is the first report of a flavonol in Paratecoma .

Objectives: Adequate anti-tuberculosis (TB) treatment is an important factor that can affect the patient's outcome. Higher mortality is found in patients who do not receive optimal treatment that includes isoniazid and rifampicin. The objective of this study is to evaluate the association of use of alternative TB treatment regimens (without rifampicin and isoniazid) and mortality among patients requiring intensive care., Methods: Retrospective cohort study, from January 2010 to December 2018. Patients aged > 18 years with a TB diagnosis, admitted to the ICU of a general, tertiary care, university-affiliated hospital (Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre - HCPA) were included. Data on TB treatment used and outcomes of treatment were collected., Results: 462 patients met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis; 284 used the usual treatment regimen (rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol - all orally), and 178 used alternative treatment regimens (IV levofloxacin plus oral ethambutol plus IM streptomycin or IV amikacin, without rifampicin and isoniazid). The mortality was higher among users of alternative treatment regimens (63.5%) than among usual treatment regimen users (51.4%) (P = 0.011). In a multivariate analysis, age, albumin and death were independently associated with alternative treatment regimens use., Conclusions: TB programmes in which IV rifampicin is not widely available should consider including it, especially for critically ill TB patients, for whom there may be improved survival., (© 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)

This study aimed to characterize the dynamics of the physical and financial production of hospitalizations in 25 cities in the region of Ribeirão Preto, state of São Paulo, Brazil, area of the Regional Department of Health XIII (DRS-XIII). This was a descriptive and exploratory research, with documentary research as the method of data collection. The study population was constituted by hospitalizations, processed by the Hospital Information System of the Unified Health System (SIH-SUS), according to specialty, year and municipality,from 1996 to 2007, in 23 hospitals hired or contracted by SUS in the region. The data were coded in spreadsheets. Ribeirão Preto hospitalizations represented 64% of production, and hospitalization in the nearby region, 36%. The financial output was 14.6% in the region and 85.4% in Ribeirão Preto. There are possibilities of hospitalizations with increased cost and complexity in Ribeirão Preto. The production varies across specialties. The results provide order flow of users, monitoring of production between hospitals, assisting the management of the particularities of the local health system in hospital care.
