The paper describes the experience of undergraduate nursing students in a Center of Testing and Counseling (CTA), that offers anti-HIV test. There were identified the facilities and the difficulties faced in the accomplishment of the counseling before and after-test, for five months, aiming to propose strategies to surmount them.
This study relates the attempts of the discipline Collective Health Nursing with focus in transmissible diseases to reorganize its teaching object, its theoretical and practical content, and its pedagogical atrategics, as a contribution to the formation of a nursing professional compromised with Collective Health. It describes the context of Collective Health in Brazil and the characteristics needed to improve the implementation of the Unified Health Care System in the Country. It also reports the content and the padagogical strategics used in the discipline and makes a critical analysis of its potentialities and limitations to the proposed goal.
This study aimed to identify the profile of women with AIDS from a Health Service located in São Paulo City, from October to December, 1995. The data obtained from medical charts allowed to characterize the profile in terms of age, school degree, marital status, occupation, exposed category and mean survival time. Besides, it was possible to know the number of children--sons and daughters of those women--that might be real or potential AIDS' orphans, an important social problem involving the phenomena. Authors discuss the women's particularities in the process of the disease and the social implications related to the spread of the infection in this group.

To verify the effect of different energetic sources on insulin secretion, just-weaned male Wistar rats were divided into four groups fed as follows: high carbohydrate (HC), high protein (HP), high lipid (HL) and balanced (C) diets during five weeks. Body weight gain and daily food intake were similar among the four groups. Insulin content of the isolated islets was not different; however, insulin release to a high glucose concentration (16.7 mM) stimulus was clearly higher in islets isolated from rats fed a balanced diet as compared to the other groups (HC, HP and HL). The rates of insulin secretion in islet perfusates from rats fed unbalanced diets were also decreased, although 45Ca2+ outflow rate (FOR) was similar in all groups. Since the rate of U-14C-glucose oxidation was decreased in islets isolated from rats fed unbalanced diets, this could be one of the mechanisms for the reduced rates of insulin release observed. Therefore, the increased supply of specific fuels provoke metabolic alterations in B-cell leading to changes in insulin secretion.
Reactions like flight, anxiety, aggressiveness, and aversion are usually observed among students of nursing when they attend transmissible Disease subject, in Nursing Course.
