USE OF COMBINED ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES AND THE RISK OF CERVICAL CANCER IN YOUNG WOMEN

The relationship between the use of combined oral contraceptives and the risk of cervical cancer in young women has been the subject of intense scrutiny in the scientific literature. This topic, which is extremely important for women's health, has sparked debates and investigations due to the prevalence of the use of these contraceptives and the significant incidence of cervical cancer in young women. Understanding this possible association is crucial to inform contraceptive practices and cervical cancer prevention strategies. Objective: To evaluate and consolidate the available evidence on the relationship between the use of combined oral contraceptives and the risk of cervical cancer in young women, using studies and articles published in the last 10 years. Methodology: strictly adhered to the PRISMA checklist, using the PubMed, Scielo and Web of Science databases to identify relevant studies. The selected descriptors were combined oral contraceptives, cervical cancer, young women, risk and association. The search covered articles published in the last 10 years. The inclusion criteria included studies that focused exclusively on young women, directly investigated the relationship between the use of combined oral contraceptives and cervical cancer, and were published in the last 10 years. On the other hand, studies with participants outside the specific age range, research that did not directly address the association in question and articles that were not fully available or did not qualify as systematic reviews or primary studies were excluded. This methodological approach provided a comprehensive and careful analysis of the existing evidence on the topic. Results: 18 articles were selected. Analysis of studies revealed a diversity of perspectives on the association between combined oral contraceptives and cervical cancer risk in young women. Key topics included possible biological mechanisms, variations in the types of contraceptives used, and the influence of confounding factors. Conclusion: Given the complexity of the data analyzed, this review highlights the need for careful approaches in interpreting the relationship between combined oral contraceptives and cervical cancer in young women. Future research is crucial to fully clarify this association and provide more precise guidance for clinical practice.The relationship between the use of combined oral contraceptives and the risk of cervical cancer in young women has been the subject of intense scrutiny in the scientific literature.

COMPLICAÇÕES E MANEJO DA DIABETES GESTACIONAL

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a chronic disease characterized by a sensitivity to sugar that develops or appears for the first time during pregnancy. Based on the literature, this work aimed to describe the pathophysiological characteristics of GDM, present the associated risk factors and describe diagnostic and treatment methods. This study is a systematic review of qualitative literature, articles selected in Portuguese and researched between 2011 and 2024 in institutional databases such as Virtual Health Library (BVS), MEDLINE, LILACS and in the electronic libraries Scielo, PubMed and GOOGLE Academic. In addition to the BDNEF database. Studies have shown that GDM is related to the degree of glucose intolerance that is detected or begins during pregnancy. This explanation applies when treatment is based on diet or insulin therapy. It is important to emphasize that pregnant women should continue to be monitored throughout pregnancy because these conditions may persist after pregnancy. It is important to know that due to the different changes in a woman's body during pregnancy, greater care is needed for pregnant women with GDM, which is guided by a multidisciplinary team to promote the mother's health and include other forms of treatment. babyO diabetes mellitus gestacional (DMG) é uma doença crônica caracterizada por uma sensibilidade ao açúcar que se desenvolve ou aparece pela primeira vez durante a gravidez. Com base na literatura, este trabalho teve como objetivo descrever as características fisiopatológicas do DMG, apresentar os fatores de risco associados e descrever métodos de diagnóstico e tratamento. Este estudo trata-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura qualitativa, artigos selecionados em língua portuguesa e pesquisados ​​entre 2011 a 2024 em bases de dados institucionais como Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), MEDLINE, LILACS e nas bibliotecas eletrônicas Scielo, PubMed e GOOGLE Academic. Além do banco de dados BDNEF. Estudos demonstraram que o DMG está relacionado ao grau de intolerância à glicose que é detectado ou começa durante a gravidez. Esta explicação se aplica quando o tratamento é baseado em dieta ou terapia com insulina. É importante enfatizar que as mulheres grávidas devem continuar a ser monitoradas durante a gravidez porque estas condições podem persistir após a gravidez. É importante saber que devido às diferentes alterações no corpo da mulher durante a gravidez, é necessário um maior cuidado com as gestantes com DMG, que é orientado por uma equipe multidisciplinar para promover a saúde da mãe e incluir outras formas de tratamento

OBJECTIVE: To describe the importance of primary care in the prevention and early detection of breast cancer. METHOD: It consists of an integrative review, carried out based on the following guiding question: How important is primary care in the prevention and detection of breast cancer? using the PICO strategy, where “p” population: women receiving primary health care, “I” interest: The importance of primary care in detecting breast cancer in women, and “C” and “O” context: Impacts of breast cancer on women and how primary care prevention and detection can reduce them. The filter used for the searches was with the descriptors: “Primary health care”; “Breast neoplasms”; “Disease prevention”, using the Boolean operator “AND” and “OR”. RESULTS: The final sample consisted of 6 articles, which resulted in 2 categories: Perception of health professionals in primary care regarding the detection and prevention of breast cancer; Breast cancer prevention.
