Objective: To describe the profile of caregivers of elderly, as well as their importance and main difficulties in caring for the elderly. Methodolog y: This was a descriptive, exploratory cross-sectional study conducted by the PET Saúde staff in a Family Health Strategy (FHS) in the city of Ananindeua, state of Pará, Brazil. Data was collected through a semistructured questionnaire addressing sociodemographic and issues concerning the importance and difficulties encountered by caregivers of the elderly. Results: We interviewed 31 caregivers, predominantly female, married state, with complete secondary education, income between two and three minimum wages, time of exercise of the function over 12 months, most of them informal caregivers and with family relationship with elderly. Caregivers acknowledged the importance of a caregiver and found the elderly under their care as healthy. Conclusion: Most caregivers were informal type, characterized by women with family ties, which emphasized patience and lack of knowledge as the main difficulties of the caregiver. Data from this study are limited to a local reality, requiring further research to foster the particularities and difficulties faced by caregivers.

(Sociedade Brasileira para o Desenvolvimento da Pesquisa em Cirurgia, 2018-05) BRITO, Felipe Nunes; VENDRAMIN, Fabiel Spani; LOPES, Cinthia Távora de Albuquerque; COSTA, Mayra Pauline Ribeiro; OHASHI, Otavio Mitio; MAIA, José Guilherme Soares; FERREIRA, Lydia Masako; SILVA, Joyce Kelly do Rosário da; MIRANDA, Moysés dos Santos
Purpose: To evaluate the effects of this thymol-rich oil in the proliferation of human adipose tissue-derived stem cells. Methods: Stem cells were isolated from human adipose tissue by liposuction. After the first passage, cells were cultivated in triplicate for three days in control medium and medium supplemented with three oil samples (1.0 μg/mL, 5.0 μg/mL, and 25.0 μg/mL). Cells were analyzed by the MTT assay at passage 1 (P1), and cell proliferation of control and 1 μg/mL groups was determined with a hemocytometer at P2 and P3. Results: Viability of the essential oil-treated cells was significantly higher than the control group at P1 (p = 0.0008). The treatment with the oil, at a concentration of 1 µg/mL, led to increases of 24.8% at P1 and 43.0% at P3 in the rate of cell proliferation compared with control cells. Conclusion: Supplementing culture medium with essential oil of Lippia origanoides increased cell proliferation, especially at later passages.
