A qualitative field research was conducted, involving the administration of semi-structured interviews with students from the second, third, and fourth semesters of the medical graduation program at Centro Universitário IMEPAC de Araguari. The analysis of the results revealed that the interviewees acknowledged the differences between the methodologies and, furthermore, highlighted three principal challenges in the transition: time management, difficulties in research, and the need to study before class. In contrast, the interviewed students suggested possible improvements for the graduate school's welcoming actions during the process of transition, primarily the alignment and training for faculty. They noted significant improvements in study efficiency, routine organization, and research skills. It was also observed that they had positive changes towards their perception about active teaching-learning methodology since the beginning of the course, with significant improvements in studying efficiency, organization of their routine, and research skills.</p> 2024-12-16T00:00:00-03:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Revista Master - Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão https://revistamaster.emnuvens.com.br/RM/article/view/573 Comparative analysis between conventional and sustainable construction of social housing 2025-01-15T11:01:18-03:00 João Pedro Pereira joao.pereira@aluno.imepac.edu.br Brunna Beatriz Ribeiro brunna.ribeiro@aluno.imepac.edu.br Deywison César da Cruz deywison.cruz@aluno.imepac.edu.br Gustavo Henrique da Silva Gomes gustavohsg1994@gmail.com Leticia Aparecida Pereira leticia.pereira@aluno.imepac.edu.br Raphael Fonseca Dias raphael.dias@imepac.edu.br Sâmara Resende Assunção Brandão samara.brandao@aluno.imepac.edu.br Wesley Pereira da Silva wesley.pereira@aluno.imepac.edu.br <p><br>This research compared a conventional construction project using the most commonly used building materials with a <br>sustainable project that had benefits for the environment, analyzing the financial impacts and the benefits for <br>sustainability.

Every year, there are an estimated 357 million new cases of STIs, one of which is syphilis. It is assumed that 11 million new cases of syphilis occur in adults aged 15 to 49 worldwide. <strong>OBJECTIVE</strong>: This study aims to analyze the epidemiological profile of acquired syphilis in the city of Araguari-MG between 2018 and 2023. <strong>METHODOLOGY</strong>: This is a cross-sectional analytical observational epidemiological study, using a quantitative approach based on secondary data in the public domain. For the research, data were collected from individuals with an established diagnosis and registered by the DATASUS electronic platform, in the period from 2018 to 2023 notified in the municipality of Araguari-MG. The variables selected involved sociodemographic aspects, including gender, age group, schooling and clinical aspects such as treatment outcomes in the period studied and disease progression. <strong>RESULTS</strong>: There were 682 confirmed cases, the majority of which were male (58.0% of cases). In addition, there was a predominance of the 20-39 age group when considering both sexes (55.42% of cases), followed by the 40-59 age group (26.53% of cases). <strong>CONCLUSION</strong>: This study revealed the epidemiological profile of acquired syphilis in Araguari-MG between 2018 and 2023, indicating the need for targets and intensification of strategies to prevent the disease and promote comprehensive healthcare.</p> 2024-12-16T00:00:00-03:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Revista Master - Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão https://revistamaster.emnuvens.com.br/RM/article/view/594 Análise antibacteriana de extratos vegetais frente à Escherichia coli 2025-01-15T11:01:11-03:00 Larissa Fávaro Marchi larissafavaromarchi@gmail.com Leonardo Henrique Zorneta leonardohenriquezorneta@hotmail.com Bruna Camila Quirino Sena de Lima bruna.benjamin1208@gmail.com <p><strong>INTRODUCTION:</strong> Professionals use plants with medicinal properties to treat, cure and prevent important diseases. Plants such as hibiscus, rosemary, parsley and garlic are alternatives in the fight against urinary tract infections, especially those caused by <em>Escherichia coli</em>. <strong>OBJECTIVE:</strong> To determine the antibacterial potential of plant extracts against <em>Escherichia coli</em> bacteria for the treatment of urinary tract infections. <strong>METHODOLOGY:</strong> Through the infusion of dry plant materials in an aqueous medium, the active plant extract was obtained to analyze it’s antibacterial potential, while for garlic it was necessary to squeeze and crush it to obtain the active extract. Standardized strains of <em>Escherichia coli</em> ATCC 8739 were used, which were diluted in Nutrient Broth medium until turbidity was 0.5 on the McFarland scale (1.5 x 108 Colony Forming Units - CFU/mL) and inoculated in Petri dishes containing Müeller Hinton Agar using the Spread-Plate technique. The entire process was performed in duplicate, where the extracts were submitted to the plates using the disk technique with 15 µL of the solutions, in which a blank disk was used as a negative control and, as a positive control, commercial disks containing 50 µg of Meropenem. <strong>RESULTS:</strong> The extracts of hibiscus, parsley and rosemary did not inhibit bacterial growth satisfactorily. Garlic, however, presented better results than the positive control with Meropenem. <strong>CONCLUSIONS:</strong> Garlic proved to be effective in inhibiting the growth of <em>Escherichia coli</em>, while other plants require further studies to evaluate the factors that resulted in unsatisfactory values</p> 2024-12-16T00:00:00-03:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Revista Master - Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão https://revistamaster.emnuvens.com.br/RM/article/view/537 Worsening of migraine symptoms in students using contraceptive methods at the educational institution IMEPAC - ARAGUARI 2025-01-15T11:01:30-03:00 Fernanda Alves Carvalho fernandacarvalho1097@gmail.com Débora Vieira debora.vieira@imepac.edu.br Carlos Henrique de Sousa Ribeiro da Silva carlos.silva@imepac.edu.br <p>Migraine is a neurovascular disease characterized by symptoms of intense unilateral headache with phonophobia and photophobia affecting around 15.8% of people in Brazil, the majority of whom are women.&nbsp; The use of combined oral contraceptives may increase the risk of stroke and may increase the risk of migraine attacks. As a hypothesis, the use of combined oral contraceptive methods worsens migraine symptoms with greater frequency and intensity when compared to people who use other contraceptive methods or do not use them. In the results and discussion we can see that the use of COC does not have a strong relationship with the onset of headache, but that its symptoms can be worsened with the use of COC, perceiving a correlation between the data, especially in the young population, which demonstrates a high rate of mental health disorders together, but it is worth highlighting that the data did not find statistical validity. It can be concluded the importance of future research on the topic to expand data on the general population and the importance of treatment and use of contraceptives according to the individuality of each patient.</p> 2024-12-16T00:00:00-03:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Revista Master - Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão https://revistamaster.emnuvens.com.br/RM/article/view/572 Risco de exposição a infecções sexualmente transmissíveis em universitários da área da saúde de um centro universitário de Minas Gerais 2025-01-15T11:01:21-03:00 JULIANA OZON CUNHA juliana.cunha@aluno.imepac.edu.br LORRAYNE DUARTE DA SILVA lorrayne.silva@aluno.imepac.edu.br THATIANNE FERREIRA COELHO thatianne.coelho@aluno.imepac.edu.br HUGO RIBEIRO ZANETTI hugo.zanetti@imepac.edu.br <p>Objetivo: Caracterizar e analisar o risco de exposição a infecções sexualmente transmissíveis (ISTs) entre universitários da área da saúde de um centro universitário em Minas Gerais. Métodos: Estudo quantitativo e transversal realizado entre agosto de 2023 e fevereiro de 2024 com 120 discentes dos cursos noturnos da área da saúde em um centro universitário de Araguari/MG. A coleta de dados foi feita por meio de questionário estruturado aplicado via Google Forms, abordando dados pessoais, exposição ao risco e conhecimento sobre ISTs. Os dados foram analisados utilizando estatística descritiva. Resultados: A amostra foi composta predominantemente por pessoas do sexo feminino, com idade entre 20 e 25 anos, solteiras e com renda per capita inferior a três salários-mínimos. A prevalência de relações sexuais sem preservativo foi alta, e 50% dos participantes relataram já ter se colocado em risco de contrair ISTs. Além disso, a maioria dos estudantes nunca realizou exame sorológico, embora expressassem intenção de fazê-lo futuramente. Conclusão: Os universitários apresentam risco de exposição a ISTs, sugerindo a necessidade de intervenções educativas sobre o tema no ambiente estudado.</p> 2024-12-16T00:00:00-03:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Revista Master - Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão https://revistamaster.emnuvens.com.br/RM/article/view/478 Estudo do descarte residencial de medicamentos vencidos e em desuso em uma Instituição de Ensino Superior no município de Araguari/ MG 2025-01-15T11:01:34-03:00 Matheus Oliveira de Souza matheusoliveira_souza@hotmail.com Lauane Ramos de Matos matolauane1@gmail.com Juan Rodrigues Mota juan_rdgmota@hotmail.com Hugo Silva Santos Hugo.santos@aluno.imepac.edu.br Mirian Ribeiro Moreira Carrijo mirian.carrijo@imepac.edu.br Aline Fernandes Hipólito alinehipolito_81@hotmail.com <p>Introdução: Nas residências, muitos dos medicamentos não são consumidos por completo, gerando sobras que acabam sendo descartadas no lixo domiciliar, ou no esgoto, ou são armazenados para um possível consumo posterior. Ainda que os colaboradores da atenção primária à saúde tenham demonstrado interesse&nbsp; com o tema, pouco tem sido feito sobre o descarte correto de medicamentos. Objetivo: Instruir e orientar os alunos e colaboradores do Centro Universitário IMEPAC Araguari-MG a respeito do descarte correto de medicamentos. Metodologia: Foi implementado um ponto de coleta no pátio da Instituição para o descarte dos medicamentos e orientação as pessoas com divulgações a respeito deles. Resultados: O posto de coleta obteve uma quantidade significativa de medicamentos que poderiam estar em contato com a natureza ou sendo consumido indevidamente por outros. A maioria do que foi coletado estava fora da data de validade apresentando um risco potencial a desavisados. Esses estudos catalogou as diferentes formas farmacêuticas e verificou que a maioria dos medicamentos eram sólidos e posteriormente foram descartados corretamente. Conclusões: Assim, fica claro, que a população desconhece a necessidade de descartar o lixo farmacêutico de maneira adequada, além disso, os envolvidos nesse estudo, não possuem a consciência de que parte dessas substâncias descartadas indevidamente podem atingir lençóis freáticos, cursos de águas e contaminar fauna e flora local. E que há uma demanda de medicamentos a ser coletado. Baseado nisso é fundamental que haja uma interferência de órgãos públicos que fiscalizem com mais rigor o descarte de medicamentos.</p> 2024-12-16T00:00:00-03:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Revista Master - Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão https://revistamaster.emnuvens.com.br/RM/article/view/566 Influência das práticas de manejo e adubação biológica na atividade microbiana do solo 2025-01-15T11:01:25-03:00 Karen Rabêlo dos Santos karen.santos@aluno.imepac.edu.br Ingrid Mara Bicalho ingridmbicalho@gmail.com Mirian Ribeiro Moreira Carrijo mirian.carrijo@imepac.edu.br Elvécio Gomes da Silva Junior egsilvajunior@gmail.com Luciano Tadeu Nunes lucianotadeu@imepac.edu.br <table width="643"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="643"> <p>There are several attributes of the soil microbiota that are good indicators of changes caused by agricultural management practices. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of soil management systems in areas with and without the use of Microgeo biological fertilizer on some biological soil attributes, using different soil quality indicators. The samples were collected in the 0-20 cm layer in the municipalities of Monte Carmelo-MG and Ipameri-GO and were analyzed in the laboratory using a completely randomized design with 8 treatments and 3 replications. The soil's chemical, physical and biological attributes were evaluated. The biological analyses carried out in the conventional planting, coffee, no-till and integrated crop-livestock-forest systems, with and without the use of Microgeo biological fertilizer, were: microbial biomass carbon, basal soil respiration, metabolic and microbial quotient, as well as enzymatic evaluation of β-glucosidase and arylsulfatase. A more significant difference was observed between the no-till and integrated crop-livestock-forest management systems. The microbiological attributes evaluated showed changes and a direct influence on the soil as a result of the management adopted, by reducing the respiration rate, increasing the microbial biomass, which proved to be more efficient, and by the results of the metabolic quotient and enzymes. Thus, the joint use of more conservationist management practices, combined with biological fertilization with Microgeo, has managed to improve soil quality in both coffee and conventional planting areas.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> 2024-12-16T00:00:00-03:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Revista Master - Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão https://revistamaster.emnuvens.com.br/RM/article/view/469 Portugues 2025-01-15T11:01:36-03:00 Julia Silva Pereira Santos julia.psantos@aluno.imepac.edu.br Portugues Portugues joao.alamy@aluno.imepac.edu.br Portugues jlucasbnovais@hotmail.com Portugues geovanaaleixouol@gmail.com Portugues Portugues laura_sp45@hotmail.com Portugues Portugues mirna.oliveira@imepac.edu.br Lucivânia Marques Pacheco lucivania@imepac.edu.br <p>Introduction: Spirituality is related to health promotion and interventions, may be present in the lives of<br>individuals, causing importante meaning.

Recomendações alertam para limitar o uso a sete dias devido a efeitos colaterais, dependência e risco de piora após uma interrupção. <strong>Objetivo: </strong>Verificar os riscos e potenciais efeitos adversos relacionados ao uso de descongestionantes nasais em indivíduos de diferentes faixas etárias. <strong>Metodologia: </strong>O material analisado incluiu artigos publicados entre 2015 e 2023 em periódicos nacionais e internacionais, obtidos das bases de dados SciELO, PUBMed, e LATINDEX. Inicialmente, 236 publicações foram encontradas, das quais 131 foram excluídas com base em critérios de inclusão. Após a leitura de títulos e resumos, 98 artigos foram descartados por não atenderem aos critérios estabelecidos, resultando em uma amostra final de 7 artigos. <strong>Resultados</strong>: O uso excessivo e contínuo de descongestionantes nasais pode resultar na dependência desse fármaco, além disso, pode causar efeitos colaterais. No contexto brasileiro, a automedicação com descongestionantes nasais é comum devido à disponibilidade sem prescrição, ao baixo custo, ao rápido alívio sintomático e à falta de informação sobre os riscos. As substâncias vasoconstritoras mais comuns são o cloridrato de nafazolina, efedrina e pseudoefedrina, as quais, apesar de eficazes, podem apresentar malefícios. <strong>Conclusão:</strong> Conclui-se que a facilidade de adquirir descongestionantes nasais facilita a automedicação, resultando em efeitos adversos como dor de cabeça, insônia, irritação nasal, tremores e taquicardia. </p> 2024-12-16T00:00:00-03:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Revista Master - Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão https://revistamaster.emnuvens.com.br/RM/article/view/548 O caminho para o crescimento saudável: relato de caso 2025-01-15T11:01:27-03:00 Ana Clara Moreira Gonçalves anaclaramoreira16@outlook.com Ana Luísa Neiva Baldez ana.baldez@aluno.imepac.edu.br Keliane Silva Borges kelianeborges@icloud.com Mariana Slywitch Noronha de Morais mariana.morais@imepac.edu.br <p>Evaluating weight and height growth is essential for early detection of diseases that can affect <br>children's health. This case is unique due to the absence of the patient’s genetic history due to adoption <br>and the limitations of the Brazilian public health system for investigation, reinforcing the need for <br>vigilance and adequate resources to manage short stature and low growth velocity in children without <br>a clear genetic history. NHD, 12 years old, accompanied by her mother who complained of short <br>stature. The patient was healthy, with normal neurological and school development, but had a height <br>below the normal curve (Z-score between -2 and -3), with normal physical examination and laboratory tests; however, wrist and hand radiography and karyotyping were not performed due to SUS <br>limitations. The main diagnostic hypothesis was short stature associated with low growth velocity, <br>with additional tests requested and a referral to an endocrinologist. The patient had an annual growth <br>velocity of 4.5 cm, below the 3rd percentile, justifying the referral to a specialist. Early identification <br>and proper management of short stature are crucial, especially in adopted children without a genetic <br>history, emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive diagnosis and the need for better efficiency <br>in the public health system to provide necessary care. Growth hormone (GH) prescription may be <br>essential after diagnostic confirmation, with careful follow-up until the end of the pubertal period.&nbsp;</p> 2024-12-16T00:00:00-03:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Revista Master - Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão https://revistamaster.emnuvens.com.br/RM/article/view/579 Case report: dog, mixed-breed, 12 years old, with chronic mitral and tricuspid valve disease with cardiac remodeling, moderate mitral valve insufficiency and mild tricuspid valve insufficiency. 2025-01-15T11:01:17-03:00 Débora Lopes Procópio debora.procopio@aluno.imepac.edu.br Gabriel Gomes da Silva Borges gabrielgomesmg18@gmail.com Maria Laura Alvares França Miranda marialauramiranda2010@hotmail.com Bianca Freitas Oliveira Alves biancaoliveir18@gmail.com Joyce Rocha Lara joycelara2003@gmail.com Mahara Cristina Bernardes Coelho Freitas mahara_cristina@live.com Danielle Vitorino Moraes daniellevmoraes@gmail.com <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pepi, canine, 12 years old, mixed-breed, weighing 8.5 kg, was taken to the clinic with complaints of excessive coughing resembling choking and the animal was panting&nbsp; more than normal.
