Introduction. In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic and due to physical distancing restrictions, universities were motivated to set up alternative teaching methods to facilitate the training of health professionals. Objective. To describe the pedagogical considerations for the design and development of a virtual learning environment integrated with technology from a remote laboratory for practical purposes in the training of health professionals on mechanical ventilation issues. Methodology. It is based on a variation of the ADDIE model of instructional design, on which from the analysis of the context, needs and the review of previous experiences, the pedagogical elements are designed for the integration of a Virtual Learning Environment and an emulation system of ventilatory mechanics in an environment called ventilab. Results. Development of an environment for the training of health professionals, designed for the student to apply knowledge of cardiopulmonary pathophysiology in the operation of an invasive mechanical ventilation system. The environment considers educational resources, learning activities, communication, evaluation and interaction with the remote laboratory. Conclusion. The interdisciplinary work for the pedagogical proposal represented a challenge of communication and assembly of different knowledge. This work opens doors for reflection towards the possibility of new teaching practices in university education on issues of mechanical ventilation, as well as methodological application. in other areas of knowledge that require practice.

All governments are responsible for protecting their populations against health hazards and business fraud in the food sector. Considering the expansion of international food trade in Cuba and the necessary protection of consumers, animals, plants and the environment in general, in our country a sanitary control system for food has been designed, taking into account the regulations in force in this matter, both national and international. The Environmental Radiological Surveillance Laboratory (LVRA) of the Radiation Protection and Hygiene Center (CPHR) has been in charge, since 2000, of the radiological surveillance of foods that are marketed in the national territory. This Surveillance Program is executed within the framework of the National Pollutants in Food and Water Surveillance Program, directed by the National Directorate of Environmental Health (DNSA) of the Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP). The tests carried out by the LVRA aim to verify compliance with the permissible levels for radionuclides in food in force in Cuba, as one of the elements that contributes to guaranteeing the food safety of both imported and nationally produced products. The work presents and analyzes the results that have been obtained in these years of radiological surveillance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Resumo Em diálogo com análises etnográficas sobre as relações humano-animal, este texto apresenta desdobramentos de um estudo que, por meio da observação da rotina de laboratórios de ciências biológicas e de entrevistas com biólogos, rastreou trabalhos de descrição da biodiversidade permeados por tensões relacionadas à vida e à morte de animais de pesquisa do bioma caatinga. Argumenta-se que o jogo entre vida e morte que marca as relações que vinculam animais e os seus biólogos produz carreiras científicas em pesquisas que tomam como objeto os contornos do bioma caatinga como exclusivamente brasileiro, rico em diversidade biológica e ameaçado de extinção. Como desdobramento, as disciplinas científicas ecologia e zoologia são posicionadas como saberes de caatinga que versam sobre indicadores ambientais necessários à segurança dos não humanos em seus habitats.

RESUMO O artigo objetivou a análise da política industrial brasileira para o setor saúde nas últimas duas décadas por meio da descrição da condição de sustentabilidade organizacional vis-à-vis à indução da Parceria para o Desenvolvimento Produtivo (PDP) do Ministério da Saúde. O estudo do caso de um grande Laboratório Farmacêutico Oficial (LFO) identificou os efeitos não antecipados associados à indução governamental na área industrial. O estudo de caso foi a opção metodológica para a análise de questões de natureza organizacional que não podem ser explicadas com precisão pela descrição quantitativa. Como resultado, o artigo aponta que a PDP foi bem-sucedida na ampliação da capacidade produtiva no setor público na área farmacêutica. Contudo, para o caso de Farmanguinhos, os resultados da PDP devem ser avaliados com cautela. O artigo conclui que a unidade produtiva da Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz) enfrentará sérios desafios à sustentabilidade em função da sua singular inserção na PDP. As compras governamentais promovidas pela PDP não favoreceram ganhos de escala e escopo, afetando negativamente os LFO com elevada capacidade de produção, como é a condição de Farmanguinhos.

At the end of 2019, in Wuhan, China, a coronavirus pandemic started, later called SARS CoV 2 and identified as the cause of CO VID 19 disease. This virus is a public health concern due to its ease of transmission. This virus is a public health concern due to its ease of transmission. One way to reduce this spread is by reinforcing biosafety care, therefore, this research aimed to describe the biosafety measures that should be adopted by laboratories to contain the new coronavirus in the workplace and also present the effective ways of inactivating the virus in clinical samples. For this, a bibliographic review was carried out in the online database of the Virtual Health Library (VHL), using the descriptors "Coronavirus Infections" or "Coronavirus Infections" and "Biosafety". After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, thirteen papers were used to write this material. Subsequently, biosafety measures against SARS CoV 2 were described, sectioned by: work team, personal protective equipment, laboratory environment, sample handling, sample processing and analysis, accidents and virus inactivation in samples. It can be concluded that it is essential for the laboratory team to know the principles of biosafety, in order to try to reduce the transmission of the new coronavirus, in addition to continuous training for professionals and the adoption of strict protocols and guidelines.

The respiratory infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 was declared a pandemic by the WHO on March 11, 2020. This new beta-coronavirus, probably the product of the random mutation of a coronavirus infecting animals, has affected humanity, created great mortality among the population, and it has also destabilized the interaction between human beings and their quality of life. The joint work of researchers who have analyzed the COVID-19 cases, the biological mechanisms, their effects on human beings, and possible intervention pathways have led to successful scientific advances in the understanding of the infection, the creation of immunity, the use of specific medications, in addition to an innovative and historical way of creating new vaccines that are both efficient and safe. It is also crucial to note that the effort to produce positive results involves the continued used of safety precautions such as handwashing, surface disinfection, social distancing and protective equipment, among others. This narrative review will analyze relevant aspects regarding the process of infection, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, management, and prevention of the disease caused by the 2019 coronavirus, COVID-19.

El diagnóstico oportuno de malaria es una estrategia propuesta por la Organización Mundial de la Salud para reducir la morbimortalidad por esta enfermedad. Se realizó un estudio con el objetivo de evaluar el desempeño en el diagnóstico microscópico de malaria en la red de laboratorios pertenecientes al Laboratorio de Referencia Nacional de Malaria del Instituto Nacional de Salud entre 2012 y 2017. En los años de estudio, los laboratorios tuvieron la calificación de aceptable en el diagnóstico de Plasmodium en un 38,4%, 43,7%, 60,0%, 83,3%, 90,9% y 95,8%, respectivamente; en la evaluación de especie en un 0%, 6,2%, 15,0%, 50,0%, 40,9% y 54,1%, respectivamente; en la evaluación de estadio en un 23,0%, 25,0%, 35,0%, 83,3%, 54,5% y 79,1%, respectivamente; y en la evaluación de densidad parasitaria en un 0%, 6,2%, 10,0%, 33,3%, 0% y 12,5%, respectivamente. Concluimos que en el periodo evaluado se incrementó el porcentaje de laboratorios que diagnosticaron, reconocieron la especie y estadio, mas no el reconocimiento de densidad parasitaria.

El uso de laboratorios en las carreras de informática y ciencias de la computación es indudablemente valioso para los estudiantes. Gracias a la evolución de las comunicaciones, a través de Internet es posible implementar laboratorios virtuales con costos mucho más bajos que los de uno real, con la ventaja de estar disponible para todos los alumnos a la vez, a cualquier hora y lugar. El presente estudio tiene por objetivo determinar las preferencias de los estudiantes por laboratorios reales y laboratorios virtuales. La investigación es descriptiva correlacional con un enfoque cuantitativo. La técnica de recopilación de datos se realizó con una encuesta aplicada a 483 universitarios mexicanos a través de Internet con la herramienta Google Forms. Entre los principales resultados se obtuvo que el 100% de los estudiantes encuestados afirma poseer un teléfono inteligente, medio para acceder a los servicios virtuales que ofrece Internet. El 82% de los sujetos de estudio está satisfecho con los laboratorios físicos, encontrando una preferencia en el uso de laboratorios en línea entre los alumnos que no residen en la localidad donde se ubica su institución educativa, con un coeficiente de correlación r=0.858. Se encontraron tendencias en cuanto al tipo de carrera que cursan los sujetos de estudio; los de ingeniería (ingeniería en sistemas computacionales, ingeniería en sistemas de información, ingeniería mecatrónica e ingeniería de software) se inclinan más al uso de los laboratorios físicos que los alumnos de licenciatura (licenciatura en informática, licenciado en tecnologías de la información y licenciatura en sistemas computacionales). Los universitarios que no residen en la misma ciudad de su institución preferirían el laboratorio virtual. En general, hay una opinión favorable hacia los dos tipos de laboratorios; los estudiantes se sienten satisfechos con su uso y perciben mejoría en las materias de programación y en su rendimiento en general.

RESÚMEN: En este ensayo me pregunto por cómo se organizó espacialmente el saber clínico y experimental, en México, a fines del siglo XIX. La historiografía toma a los laboratorios como espacios distintos y excluyentes de los hospitales; se considera que la clínica no equivale a la experimentación. A lo largo del siglo XIX, el Hospital de San Andrés fue el lugar donde los estudiantes de la Escuela de Medicina practicaron y aprendieron clínica y anatomía patológica. Pero fue ahí mismo donde, se abrieron espacios para experimentar y realizar análisis clínicos, en colaboración con el Instituto Médico Nacional. Aquí me enfoco en esos espacios híbridos de experimentación y terapéutica, laboratorios no canónicos, actualmente no estudiados. Analizo cómo el territorio de lo patológico, localizado en el cuerpo, se multiplica en esos espacios heterópicos, ocupados por prácticas clínicas regidas por las urgencias del dolor, pero atravesado por la economía productivista que impone la experimentación. Prácticas y ritmos que producen, en los mismos lugares, distintos conocimientos sobre las patologías de los mexicanos; ninguno se revela más eficiente que otro. Pero, si los observamos desde donde se aposentaron, la Ciudad de México, es visible que esos conocimientos, clínicos y experimentales, atrincherados en sus instituciones, servían a intereses políticos de orden, higiene y contención. Desde los hospitales y los laboratorios, la Escuela de Medicina educaba para controlar una ciudad que crecía en desorden; asediada por las epidemias; una sociedad que buscó hacer de la investigación una herramienta de desarrollo, orden y cura.

Esta Sentencia resuelve el recurso de casación interpuesto por la Generalitat de Catalunya contra la Sentencia dictada por la Sala de lo Contencioso-Administrativo de la Audiencia Nacional (sección 7ª), de 14 de junio de 2019, que desestimó el recurso interpuesto contra el artículo 4.2, párrafo 2º, la Orden PARA/321/2017, de 7 de abril, por la que se regulan los procedimientos de determinación de las emisiones de los contaminantes atmosféricos SO2, Nox, partículas y CO procedentes de grandes instalaciones de combustión, el control de los instrumentos de medida y el tratamiento y remisión de la información relativa a dichas emisiones. La cuestión fundamental que centra la controversia es determinar si la competencia para acreditar los laboratorios que deban realizar los ensayos NGC2 de calibración de los sistemas automáticos de medida (SAM) debe ser reservada en exclusiva a la Entidad Nacional de Acreditación (ENAC) --bien por sí misma, bien a través de los organismos con los que haya suscrito acuerdo de reconocimiento--, como hace la Orden impugnada, o pueden desarrollar esta función otros organismos designados a tal efecto por la Comunidad Autónoma de Cataluña. Para la Administración recurrente, esta competencia no debe quedar reservada a la ENAC, al tener la Generalitat de Cataluña una competencia de naturaleza compartida en materia de medio ambiente. En su opinión, la correcta calibración de los SAM es una función vinculada al control de la contaminación atmosférica y se encuentra dentro de la función ejecutiva en materia de medio ambiente. Además, considera que el control periódico de los SAM atribuido a los laboratorios es una función de verificación ambiental, y que en las SSTC 33/2005, 20/2014 y 141/2016 se dejó sentado que la actividad de reconocimiento de las entidades de acreditación de verificadores ambientales se inscribe dentro de la función ejecutiva en materia de medio ambiente, por lo que la atribución en exclusiva a la ENAC de este cometido es contraria al orden constitucional de distribución de competencias. A lo anterior añade que la regulación básica estatal solo puede excepcionalmente establecerse mediante reglamentos y entiende que no se da en este caso tal excepcionalidad y que no se trata de una materia propiamente técnica. Por el contrario, la Abogacía del Estado defiende que la función de los verificadores ambientales, regulada en el artículo 18 del Reglamento (CE) 1221/2009, de 25 de noviembre, relativo a la participación voluntaria de organizaciones en un sistema comunitario de gestión y auditoría medioambientales, no incluye la calibración de los sistemas automáticos de medida, por lo que la jurisprudencia constitucional citada no tiene relación con este caso. Por ello, considera justificado que, en este caso, se desarrolle la legislación básica en materia de medio ambiente por vía reglamentaria en atención a su carácter técnico. En este contexto, la cuestión en la que el Tribunal Supremo entiende que existe interés casacional objetivo para la formación de jurisprudencia es la de determinar, en primer lugar, "Si le es dado al órgano jurisdiccional, con ocasión del cuestionamiento por exceso del título competencial habilitante --de rango constitucional-- en que una disposición de carácter general se ampara, atribuirle a ésta un título competencial habilitante distinto y no previsto en la norma cuestionada. En segundo lugar, para el caso de respuesta afirmativa a la anterior cuestión, "dilucidar si la atribución a la Entidad Nacional de Acreditación (ENAC) de la función de acreditar los laboratorios a los que se encomienda la calibración de los sistemas automáticos de medición (SAM) de las emisiones contaminantes a la atmósfera, a través de un ensayo NGC2 --que es objeto de recurso-- se encuadra en competencia estatal en materia industrial o medioambiental". Y, en tercer lugar, para el caso de estimar que el título competencial habilitante para el dictado de la norma impugnada fuera el medioambiental, "dilucidar si su regulación excede de los márgenes de desarrollo reglamentario estatal en dicha materia". Y las normas jurídicas que deben ser objeto de interpretación, a estos efectos, son los artículos 106.1 y 149.1.23 de la CE. El Tribunal Supremo acoge los argumentos de la Abogacía del Estado y desestima el recurso de casación interpuesto por la Generalitat de Catalunya contra la mencionada Sentencia de la Sala de lo Contencioso-Administrativo de la Audiencia Nacional.

Identificar literatura nacional e internacional sobre laboratório e vigilância sanitária para refletir sobre a integração desses serviços no Sistema Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária foi o objetivo da revisão integrativa com busca sistemática em três repositórios: Banco de Teses e Dissertações; Scientific Electronic Library Online – Brasil e Pubmed Central. A seleção seguiu critérios pré-definidos e a análise considerou: tipo de produção acadêmica (mestrado, doutorado ou artigo científico), ano e instituição de origem, tema focalizado. Predominaram trabalhos oriundos do mestrado (64,7%) e, como instituição, a Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (36,5%), sendo 90,0% no Instituto Nacional de Controle da Qualidade em Saúde. O controle da qualidade de produtos é área expressiva das publicações (71,0%), incluindo-se nela alimentos, medicamentos e vacinas. Estudos relacionados a políticas públicas e vigilância sanitária tematizaram: medicamentos genéricos; estudos de equivalência farmacêutica; alimentação e nutrição; e integração da Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária com outros atores na inovação de vacinas e na Rede Brasileira de Laboratórios Analíticos em Saúde. A integração se expressou mediante as atividades cooperativas entre laboratórios e serviços, restando aprimorá-la, tendo-se em vista que, no Brasil, os laboratórios e os serviços de vigilância são diferenciados e vinculam-se a entes governamentais distintos. ============================================= This integrative review with systematic search aimed to identify national and international literature on laboratory and sanitary surveillance to reflect on the integration of these services in the National System of Sanitary Surveillance Three repositories were used: Banco de Teses e Dissertações; Scientific Electronic Library Online - Brazil and Pubmed Central. The selection followed pre-defined criteria and the analysis considered: type of academic production (masters, doctorate or scientific article), year and institution of origin, and theme focused. Master’s degree theses (64,7%) from the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (36,5%) were predominant, from which 90% were elaborated at the Foundation’s National Institute for Quality Control in Health. The quality control of products is an important area of publications (71,0%), including food, medicines and vaccines. Studies related to public policies and health surveillance included: generic drugs; pharmaceutical equivalence studies; food and nutrition; and integration of the National Sanitary Surveillance Agency with other actors in vaccine innovation and in the Brazilian Network of Analytical Laboratories in Health. Integration was expressed through cooperative activities between laboratories and services, and it remains to be improved in view of the fact that, in Brazil, the laboratories and the surveillance services are differentiated and are linked to different governmental entities.

Introduction: The safety of blood products depends to a large extent on blood donor selection and the reliable performance of laboratory tests. Objective: To evaluate the results of the laboratory tests in the quality control in the blood bank. Methods: a descriptive and cross-sectional study that was carried out including the data obtained from the registers of donation, reception and releases of blood batches from january 2014 october 2015 at the Department of Blood Bank belonging to Abel Santamaria Cuadrado General Teaching Hospital. The results of the initial screening of infectious markers, laboratory examinations carried out following the quality assurance of the components obtained and the non-compulsory loss within the process were evaluated. Results: 8079 donations were processed, predominantly male (93.7%). 3.3% of donors were rejected for low hemoglobin, 2% for positivity in initial screening for hepatitis C antibodies as the most common cause. Laboratory tests were performed on 4.7% of the total annual production; the most studied component was concentrated erythrocytes for 2.1%. There were variations in the number of leukocytes and erythrocytes in the platelet and plasma concentrate, lipemia predominated as non-obligatory low Conclusion: to emphasize the systematization of promotion work to reach voluntary blood donation, the quality of blood donor selection, food education and the systematic screening of donors to improve these results.

Timely diagnosis of malaria is a strategy proposed by the World Health Organization to reduce malaria morbidity and mortality. A study was conducted to assess performance in microscopic diagnosis of malaria in the network of laboratories under the National Malaria Reference Laboratory of the National Institute of Health between 2012 and 2017. In the years of study, the laboratories obtained a rating of "acceptable" in the diagnosis of Plasmodium by 38.4%, 43.7%, 60.0%, 83.3%, 90.9%, and 95.8%, respectively, in the evaluation of species by 0%, 6.2%, 15.0%, 50.0%, 40.9%, and 54.1%, respectively; in stage assessment by 23.0%, 25.0%, 35.0%, 83.3%, 54.5%, and 79.1%, respectively; and in parasitic density assessment by 0%, 6.2%, 10.0%, 33.3%, 0%, and 12.5%, respectively. We conclude that in the period under evaluation, the percentage of laboratories that diagnosed and recognized the species and stage increases, which is not the case for recognition of parasitic density.

The teaching of human anatomy has historically been linked to the study of human corpses through observation and dissection. Despite the advances in multimedia texts and instruments over the years, anatomy education is not understood without incorporating the teaching-learning processes in the anatomy laboratories. The purpose of thisresearch was to describe the physical, educational, human resources and methods of fixation and conservation of cadaveric samples from 12 Chilean universities. A descriptive study was carried out where 12 human anatomy laboratories were visited, of which 10 were remodeled after the year 2000. The maximum capacity average of the laboratories was 103 students. All those interviewed reported using some type of cadaveric material, but only 3 of the labs have sufficient stock to allow these elements to be used in real practice. For fixation and preservation, 75 % of labs use a low percentage formaldehyde, while 17 % use a high concentration. The average of teachers that participate in the laboratories was of 11.7 per university, of which only 14.2 % present graduate or postgraduate degree in the specialty. Homogeneity is scarce in Chilean universities in reference to the implementation of human resources, cadaveric samples and formalin-free conservation methods in human anatomy laboratories. Therefore, it is important to exchange experiences, standardize and recognize the best practices in this field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In literature there is a great variety of approximations about the relations of laboratory exams and clinical method, which range from the exclusion of laboratory as component of the method, till the reiteration of its indiscriminate use. In the present work some opinions about the issue are reviewed and commented. Laboratory is not only in close interrelation with the clinical method but it transcends it, because it is also a component of the epidemiological method, at the same time it has a relevant role in the processes of knowledge and development, as research are. It is in teaching where major opportunities are found in searching alternatives and solutions which promote the integration of clinical and laboratory elements. Promoting the training and developing specific clinical skills is a demand of the society which urges to be attended.
