Objective:
Cardiovascular diseases are the first ranked cause of death worldwide. Adhering to health promoting lifestyle behaviors will maintain an individual’s cardiovascular health and decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Methods:
In this descriptive study, 150 nursing faculty were surveyed via a non-probability (purposive) sampling method to assess their adherence to health promoting lifestyle in order to know the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The Arabic version of Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II) was used to achieve this goal.
Results:
Seventy-two nursing faculty completed the survey. The results indicated that the study sample had moderate level of health promotion based on Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II.
Conclusion:
Nursing faculty are at risk of developing cardiovascular diseases based on their health promoting lifestyle behaviors as they scored low level of “health responsibility”, “physical activity”, and “stress management “. Encouraging healthy behaviors is recommended to prevent chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases.

Objetivo:
investigar la asociación entre la variabilidad glucémica y la mortalidad en pacientes ingresados en unidades de cuidados intensivos oncológicos.
Métodos:
Se llevó a cabo un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo utilizando una muestra de conveniencia de 30 historias clínicas de pacientes de ambos sexos mayores de 18 años. La variabilidad glucémica se midió utilizando la desviación estándar y la amplitud general. El análisis estadístico se realizó utilizando la curva ROC (receiver operating characteristic) y el área bajo la curva (AUC). El nivel de significancia (α) se estableció en un 5% con un intervalo de confianza (IC) del 95%.
Resultados:
El estudio incluyó a 14 pacientes masculinos (46,67%) con una edad media de 60±15 años. Se recopilaron un total de 1503 muestras de glucemia. El análisis AUC para la desviación estándar no mostró ningún resultado estadísticamente significativo (p = 0,966; IC del 95% = [0,283, 0,726]). Por el contrario, la amplitud general tuvo una asociación estadísticamente significativa con la mortalidad (p = 0,049; IC del 95% = [0,514, 0,916]).
Conclusiones:
Este estudio encontró que la variabilidad glucémica medida por la amplitud general está significativamente asociada con la mortalidad del paciente en unidades de cuidados intensivos oncológicos. Estos hallazgos sugieren que el monitoreo de la variabilidad glucémica puede ser un factor importante en el manejo de pacientes críticamente enfermos en unidades de cuidados intensivos oncológicos.

Objective:
This study aimed to investigate the association between glycemic variability and mortality in patients admitted to oncologic intensive care units.
Methods:
A retrospective cohort study was conducted using a convenience sample of 30 medical records of patients over 18 years of age of both sexes. Glycemic variability was measured using the standard deviation and general amplitude. Statistical analysis was performed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the curve (AUC). The significance level (α) was set at 5% with a confidence interval (CI) of 95%.
Results:
The study included 14 male patients (46.67%) with a mean age of 60±15 years. A total of 1503 blood glucose samples were collected. The AUC analysis for the standard deviation did not show a statistically significant result (p=.966; 95% CI=[0.283, 0.726]). In contrast, the general amplitude had a statistically significant association with mortality (p=.049; 95% CI=[0.514, 0.916]).
Conclusions:
This study found that glycemic variability measured by the general amplitude was significantly associated with patient mortality in oncologic intensive care units. These findings suggest that monitoring glycemic variability may be an important factor in the management of critically ill patients in oncologic intensive care units.

Objectives:
to estimate the prevalence of depressive levels and their associated factors among transvestite and transsexual individuals.
Methods:
this cross-sectional study involved 58 participants assisted by non-governmental organizations. The Beck Depression Inventory was utilized to assess levels of depression, complemented by a sociodemographic questionnaire and a questionnaire on experiences of violence. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Poisson regression with robust variance.
Results:
a prevalence of 27.6% (95% CI = 11.50-39.10) for moderate to severe levels of depression was observed. This prevalence was associated with being unmarried (PR = 1.19; 95% CI = 1.10-1.28) and experiencing violence in healthcare services (PR = 2.30; 95% CI = 1.10-4.81).
Conclusions:
the absence of a partner and experiences of violence in healthcare settings negatively impacted mental health, leading to an increased prevalence of depressive symptoms among transvestite and transsexual individuals. Advocating for transgender rights and providing ongoing education in health care for professionals are critical strategies in promoting the mental health of this population.

Objective:
to evaluate the quality of life at work of health professionals in direct and indirect care of COVID-19 cases.
Methods:
this was a cross-sectional study with 156 health professionals from a referral hospital. The relationship between sociodemographic and work-related variables and perceived stress and domains of the Quality of Life at Work Scale was investigated using inferential statistics and regression.
