The study possibilited effective interventions for the behaviors of non adherence. The referencial in continuous and lingering processes of care, favoured by the proximity between nurse and attended person.

Transfructosylation of thiol group by beta-fructofuranosidases.

Beta-fructofuranosidase fructosylated not only the hydroxyl group but also the thiol group of 2-mercaptoethanol in a transfer reaction using sucrose as a donor substrate. The enzymes from Candida utilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (bakers' yeast) were effective catalysts for the thio-fructofuranosylation. The thio-fructosylation product was isolated by activated carbon chromatography and its structure was confirmed by Fab-mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. The thio-fructofuranoside was synthesized effectively at around 3.0 M for the acceptor concentration. The product increased with the sucrose concentration at least up to 1.9 M. O-Fructofuranoside was simultaneously synthesized at an early stage of the reaction, although it was hydrolyzed on further incubation. On the contrary, the thio-fructofuranoside accumulated efficiently after synthesis, indicating it was very stable against the hydrolytic action of the beta-fructofranosidase.

[Instrumentation for blood pressure measurements: historical aspects, concepts and sources of error].

According to the International Council of Nurses the measurement of blood pressure is the procedure most performed by nurses in all the world. The aim of this study is to analyse the polemical aspects of instruments used in blood pressure measurement. Considering the analyses of the literature and the American Heart Association Recommendations, the main source of errors when measuring blood pressure are discussed.

[Nurses' uniforms as seen by patients, nurses and nursing faculty].

The exact role of the way people dress up on the nonverbal communication is still unknown. Nevertheless, we know that it influences the interpersonal answers and, in some situations, they are the main determinants of those answers. The objective of this study was to determinate differences between the perception os the nurse uniform through the answers of 100 patients, 30 nurses and 15 nursing school faculty. The data were collected by showing nine photographs of hospitals of the city of São Paulo (Brazil). White trousers and blouse was the favorite one among patients, nurses and nursing school faculty regarding personal care. White skirt above knees, white blouse and blazer was the most rejected one by three groups.

[The teaching of patient evaluation: the delineation of the content of nursing diagnosis].

The nursing care is based on the nursing assessment. In the nurse's professional activity there aren't clarity and consensus about the clinical entities, problems or phenomenons that nurses intended to care. Difficulties in deciding what should be collected are determined by this indefinition, that it is also present in nursing graduate courses. In this article the authors discuss that the Nursing Diagnosis can be the framework for the nursing assessment.
