O PIBID de Ciências Sociais da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso e a formação de professores de Sociologia para a Educação Básica by Francisco Xavier Freire Rodrigues, Edilene da Cruz Silva

“…The second part is devoted to the assessment of the impact of training actions of the PIBID of Social Sciences at the Federal University of Mato Grosso on students (both scholarship holders and non-scholarship holders) and to the contextualization of the experience in the more general framework of this teacher training course. Finally, in the light of the experiences described in the second part, the article presents an assessment of current features of the educational systems that can prevent, if they not changed, the objectives pursued by the Program, viz. fostering the improvement of training and the enhancement of the teaching career, integrating the theoretical and practical training in the curriculum of the courses with the inclusion of schools as loci of training.…”

Effect of Arginine Vasopressin on Intraoperative Hypotension Caused by Oral Administration of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid by Gen Owada, Hideo Nishizawa, Yuki Matoyama, Eri Watanabe, Keigo Mitsuda, Naoki Kaneko, Yasuhiro Kimura, Taikan Nanao, Junichi Fujimoto

“…However, after starting a continuous administration of AVP, the systolic blood pressure increased, and the hemodynamic parameters remained stable during the remainder of the operation. 5-ALA administration may lower blood pressure by inducing nitric oxide production, and AVP inhibits inducible nitric oxide synthase messenger RNA expression and interleukin-1β-stimulated nitric oxide production. In light of these mechanisms, AVP may be a reasonable treatment agent for hypotension induced by 5-ALA.…”
