Portuguese term or phrase: articula-se
Conforme Ayres (2005), a técnica articula-se com o cuidar quando o seu sentido é, não apenas o alcance da saúde orgânica, nem só a aplicação das tecnologias disponíveis mas a relação entre finalidades e meios e seu sentido prático para o paciente.

Não entendo a palavra, já olhei no dicionário mas não adiantou. TYVM for your help. :)

Explanation:
Or "overlaps with"... the author is referring to situations in which the practice of medicine is no longer limited to the application of knowledge or technology, but becomes actual care.
