Acreditação hospitalar: cenário nacional, atual e potencialidades para o cuidar em saúde, um olhar a partir do campo CTS
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2026-04-28) Silva, Adriana Bayeux da; Silva, Geovani Gurgel Aciole da; https://lattes.cnpq.br/6146469366214279; https://lattes.cnpq.br/5945291651693447; Bruno, Cristina Helena; Santos, Katia Ferreira dos; lattes.cnpq.br/7690269357195395; https://lattes.cnpq.br/8209454131290215
Hospital organizations are well-known for their concern in ensuring safety and quality in the services provided to their users. The use of tools to evaluate these services emerges in this context. Thus, this research aims to investigate the current national scenario of Hospital Accreditation and relate the findings to the care model produced in the health field. A Systematic Literature Review was conducted through a search in databases, using the descriptors: Hospital Quality, Hospital Quality Certification, and Hospital Accreditation. The following filters were applied: full text and availability, documents of the scientific article type, and publication year from 2019 to 2024. The PRISMA 2020 flowchart was applied, and an analytical framework was constructed to organize the material. This research sought to delve into the field of Science, Technology, and Society, connecting it to the field of Health, considering that the latter uses science and technology to protect, restore, and maintain the health, well-being, and quality of life of people in society. Therefore, it was important to address, along this path, some concepts about work in healthcare (its protagonists and products), the technological apparatus involved, and the healthcare system that structures the process of seeking a cure, reducing pain and suffering, and rehabilitating and maintaining life, within the Brazilian context. Thus, the programs and organizations that work in the accreditation and certification process of healthcare services in Brazil were analyzed in an attempt to relate them to the technologies involved in healthcare.
Características de estabilidade e shelf life de cosméticos nanoestruturados: uma revisão

Nanotechnology applied to cosmetology represents a significant breakthrough in the delivery of active ingredients, seeking to overcome the permeation limitations of conventional formulations. This study aimed to critically analyze, through a qualitative literature review (Web of Science, Google Scholar, and SciELO), the influence of nanostructured systems on the stability and shelf life of cosmetic products. Unlike a generalist approach, the results evidenced that nanostructuring does not inherently provide absolute stability, as these are thermodynamically unstable systems. It was analytically established that solid matrices—such as Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs) and polymeric nanocapsules—offer superior structural protection against degradation and premature leakage of the active ingredient when compared to fluid systems, such as liposomes and nanoemulsions. In the context of quality control, it was found that the application of stability studies governed by ANVISA guidelines is indispensable, yet insufficient to certify the integrity of nanosystems. Aligning with the FDA's regulatory requirements for nanomaterials, shelf life validation mandatorily requires instrumental monitoring through Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Zeta Potential. In conclusion, although nanotechnology optimizes cosmetic performance, its wide application still faces critical challenges and limitations, notably the gaps in nanotoxicology regarding involuntary systemic absorption, the high cost of characterization, and the severe mechanical obstacles involved in industrial scale-up.
