Quality of life at work
It is essential to reflect on the quality of life of workers. An essential aspect to be discussed is worker health. Long working hours, constant pressure and stress can significantly harm individuals’ physical and mental health. Therefore, it is important to promote practices that guarantee a healthy balance between work and personal life. In this context, leisure not only provides rest and relaxation, but is essential for creativity, productivity and mental health. Activities such as playing sports, reading a book or simply spending time with family and friends are essential to recharge your energy and face everyday challenges. Furthermore, it is important to rethink the work culture that often values competition over cooperation. Creating a work environment where collaboration and mutual support are encouraged can not only improve workers’ well-being, but also increase efficiency and job satisfaction. This can be achieved through practices such as teamwork, open communication and recognition of each person’s effort. Another fundamental aspect is the promotion of rest breaks during working hours. Studies show that taking regular breaks throughout the day has improved concentration and creativity. Encouraging employees to take short breaks to walk, stretch or simply relax has a significant impact on health and productivity.
Labor gymnastics
Workplace gymnastics promotes the well-being of employees in the workplace. This practice consists of a series of light and specific physical exercises carried out during working hours, generally in short breaks, aiming to prevent injuries, relieve stress and promote the physical and mental health of employees.
The practice of workplace gymnastics
Prevents injuries: Many jobs involve repetitive movements or poor postures that lead to musculoskeletal injuries, such as back pain, repetitive strain injuries (RSI) and tendonitis. Workplace gymnastics helps prevent these injuries by strengthening muscles, improving posture and increasing flexibility.
Relieves stress and tension: The work environment can be stressful, which leads to muscle tension, fatigue and even mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. Workplace gymnastics provides a welcome break during the workday, allowing employees to relax, breathe deeply and release accumulated stress.
Improved blood circulation: Spending long hours sitting in front of a computer can impair blood circulation and increase the risk of health problems such as cardiovascular disease and deep vein thrombosis. Workplace gymnastics exercises stimulate blood circulation, helping to keep muscles and organs healthy.
Increased productivity: Healthy, happy employees tend to be more productive. Workplace gymnastics can help increase employees’ energy and concentration, reducing fatigue and improving focus throughout the workday.
Promotes teamwork: the practice of workplace gymnastics can be carried out in groups, encouraging teamwork and promoting a more collaborative and united work environment.
The search for job satisfaction should not be neglected.

Dom Helder is the first public hospital in Pernambuco to adopt artificial intelligence in clinical pharmacy
Taking care of medication prescriptions is essential in a hospital, and in Dom Helder, this task gained an ally: NoHarm.ai, an artificial intelligence system that assists in decision making, being a big step towards innovation and patient safety. HDH, managed by Fundação Gestão Hospitalar Martiniano Fernandes (FGH), was the first public hospital in Pernambuco to adopt this technology, implemented in December 2023. The artificial intelligence (AI) system helps monitor medication prescriptions, reducing risks of drug interactions, impacts on kidney and liver functions, allergic reactions and medication duplications. This results in saving resources, increasing patient safety and improving the quality of care. Dom Helder has already reached the milestone of a thousand lives impacted with this innovative technology, which has guaranteed the correct treatment of patients.
Initiative promotes discussion about late diagnosis of Autism
In reference to Abril Azul, Autism Awareness month, the Tiradentes University Center (Unit-PE), located in Imbiribeira, next to Geraldão, will hold a lecture on the topic on April 30th, at 7pm, in the institution’s auditorium. The action, which is free and open to the public, is being organized by the Center’s Academic Psychology League (LAPSI). On the occasion, issues such as the impact of late diagnosis and the challenges faced by parents and guardians of neurodivergent people will be addressed. “We will seek to promote the demystification of the role of the caregiver, understand the difficulties they go through and discuss how each person receives the diagnosis differently and how to deal with this news”, says Eduarda Fortaleza, director of the League.

On Friday, April 26, the singer passed away Anderson Leonardo, from Molejo, at 51 years old. The artist had been undergoing treatment for inguinal cancer since 2022 and underwent a long period of hospitalization. By January 2023, the tumor had gone into remission; however, in May, it was necessary to resume treatment.
The oncologist Felipe Marinofrom Oncoclínicas in Recife, clarifies fundamental aspects about the disease.
“Tumors that manifest in this region are, most of the time, metastases of tumors in the inguinal lymph nodes of the genitalia and anus. In women, these would be tumors of the vulva or vagina, with tumors of the cervix being the least likely. In men, cancer of the penis and anus are the main causes of metastasis to the inguinal lymph nodes. They are generally manifested by lesions, hardened, painful nodules, which may or may not become wounds in the groin area”, explains the specialist.
Second Felipe Marinothe risk factors for the disease depend on the primary tumor.
“In women, tumors of the vulva and vagina are linked to sexually transmitted diseases, such as HPV. Likewise, penile cancer in men, which is also related to poor hygiene. Anal cancer also ends up having very similar risk factors,” she points out.
The treatment, according to Felipe Marinoit will depend on the cancer that initiated the appearance of this metastasis in the inguinal region, but in the vast majority of cases it is directly related to surgical treatment, in cases of cancer of the penis, vulva and vagina.
“In relation to anal cancer, surgery would be more in the background, with treatment with radiotherapy and chemotherapy being ideal”, he explains.
Detecting any cancer at an early stage, as the oncologist states, makes curative treatment more effective.
“As it is a lymph node metastasis in the inguinal region, we already consider it a locally advanced disease, so it is difficult to talk about early detection. But we can talk about prevention, since the tumors that can most metastasize in the lymph nodes, such as anal cancer, vagina, vulva and penile cancer, have an important relationship with maintaining hygiene and protection against sexually transmitted diseases”, he concludes.
