Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar a questão da acessibilidade de pessoas com deficiência física no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Pará – IFPA Campus Breves, que possui um prédio recém construído com algumas adequações voltadas para a circulação dos deficientes físicos

Epidemiological Report on the Treatment of Patients with Gestational Trophoblastic Disease in 10 Brazilian Referral Centers Results After 12 Years Since International FIGO 2000 Consensus

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate treatment of Brazilian patients with gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD).STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study with analysis of medical reports performed in 10 Brazilian referral centers from January 2000 to December 2011.RESULTS: Of 5,250 patients 3 died (0.06%) at the time of uterine evacuation. Spontaneous remission of GTD (group G1) was observed in 4,103 cases, and 1,144 (21.8%) progressed to gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) (G2). In G1 2,716 (66.2%) had complete hydatidiform mole (HM) and 1,210, partial HM (29.5%); 3,772 patients (92.7%) recovered as noted in December 2012. In G2, of 1,118 patients treated, initial histopathological results of previous gestation were complete HM (77.5% [n = 886]), partial HM (8.8% [n = 100]), and choriocarcinoma (8.0% [n = 92]); 930 (81.3%) were low-risk, 200 (17.5%) were high-risk GTN, and 14 had placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) (1.2%); cure was achieved in 1,078 cases (96.4%), but 26 patients (2.3%) died (4 low-risk [0.4%], 19 high-risk [9.5%], and 3 PSTT [21.4%]).CONCLUSION: The highest death rates were due to high-risk GTN and PSTT. Patients with molar pregnancy should be referred to a referral center for an early diagnosis and prompt treatment of GTN in order to reduce the morbidity and mortality found in advanced stages.Univ Fed Rio de Janeiro, Laranjeiras Matern Sch, Fluminense Fed Univ, Antonio Pedro Univ Hosp,Santa Casa Misericordia R, BR-21941 Rio De Janeiro, BrazilIrmandade Santa Casa Misericordia Porto Alegre Ma, Porto Alegre, RS, BrazilGoias Fed Univ, Clin Hosp, Goiania, Go, BrazilUniv Fed Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo Univ Hosp, Sao Paulo, BrazilParana Univ Hosp, Clin Hosp, Curitiba, Parana, BrazilUniv Sao Paulo, Clin Hosp Ribeirao Preto, BR-05508 Sao Paulo, BrazilCaxias do Sul Univ, Gen Hosp Caxias do Sul, Petropolis, RS, BrazilSao Paulo State Univ, Botucatu Med Sch, Botucatu, SP, BrazilGuilherme Alvaro Hosp Santos, Sao Paulo, BrazilUniv Fed Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo Univ Hosp, Sao Paulo, BrazilWeb of Scienc

Characterization of Publications on Burns in Brazil and Changes Resulting from Trauma in Brazil: Systematic Review of the Literature

Objective: Characterize the profile of scientific publications on burns in Brazil and systemic changes resulting from the trauma. Methods and results: This is a bibliographical, retrospective and descriptive research with a quantitative approach. It was held between April and May, 2016 in the databases Latin American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences (LILACS); Nursing Database (BDENF); Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and the Journal Portal of Higher Education Personnel Improvement Coordination (CAPES). After the analysis of the inclusion criteria (articles available in full, in Portuguese, published between 2011 and 2015), there were 49 productions, and 16 were selected. Analyzing the sample for the event characteristics, it was observed a higher incidence of accidents in males. The main causes of burns were heated by liquid, followed by direct flame. Regarding the classification, the most frequent injury was the 2nd degree, but also there were burns reports with mixed classification. Also, the upper limbs and trunk were the body parts most affected. In addition to these data, it was also highlighted the most frequent types of systemic changes caused by burns, which were respiratory complications, infection and/or sepsis and metabolic sequels.  Conclusion: The study showed the need to characterize of the publications in burns, since the crossing of this information provides a better understanding of the main causal factors, distribution and identification of risk groups. It also enables the planning of prevention strategies to help to reduce accidents, favoring the reduction of injuries and the number of hospitalizations. Moreover, it is extremely important that health professionals know about the epidemiological profile, to provide support in the evaluation and organization of care, and to prevention campaigns, aiming to decrease burn rates.

Prevalence evolution of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the city of São Paulo, 2020–2021

OBJECTIVE To estimate the evolution of the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection among residents aged 18 years or over in the municipality of São Paulo. METHODS This is a population-based household survey conducted every 15 days, between June and September 2020, and January and February 2021. In total, the study comprised 11 phases. The presence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 was identified in venous blood using a lateral flow test, Wondfo Biotech. In the last phase, the researchers combined it with an immunoenzymatic test, Euroimmun. The participants also answered a semi-structured questionnaire on sociodemographic and economic factors, and on social distancing measures. Prevalence estimates and the 95% confidence interval were estimated according to regions, Human Development Index, sex, age group, ethnicity, education, income, and variables associated with risk or prevention of infection. To compare the frequencies among the categories of each variable, the chi-square test with Rao-Scott correction was used, considering a significance level of 5%. RESULTS In total, 23,397 individuals were interviewed and had their samples collected. The estimated prevalence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 ranged from 9.7% (95%CI: 7.9–11.8%) to 25.0% (95%CI: 21.7–28.7). The prevalence of individuals with antibodies against the virus was higher among black and brown people, people with lower schooling and income, and among residents of regions with lower Human Development Index. The lowest prevalences were associated with recommended measures of disease protection. The proportion of asymptomatic infection was 45.1%. CONCLUSION The estimated prevalence of the infection was lower than the cumulative incidence variation, except for the last phase of the study. The differences in prevalence estimates observed among subpopulations showed social inequality as a risk of infection. The lower prevalence observed among those who could follow prevention measures reinforce the need to maintain social distancing measures as a way to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection

Projeto Meninos do Rio: mundo da vida, adolescência e riscos de saúde The Meninos do Rio Program: lifeworld, adolescence, and health risks

Este trabalho tem o objetivo de investigar os riscos de saúde em adolescentes de dois municípios do Vale do Rio São Francisco - Ibiaí e Morada Nova - e do Aglomerado Urbano Morro das Pedras, em Belo Horizonte. Articula-se ao trabalho de ensino e extensão voltado para a promoção de saúde do adolescente realizado pela Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais nessas localidades e utiliza como referencial teórico-metodológico primeiro a Teoria da Ação Comunicativa de Habermas. É um estudo qualitativo e quantitativo que utiliza a associação de vários procedimentos: aplicação de questionários nas escolas de ensino médio e fundamental, observação participante, grupos focais e entrevistas. Sexualidade, trabalho e violência aparecem como os principais temas, associam-se a vários riscos, e sua importância se acentua com os altos percentuais encontrados, em adolescentes de ambas as faixas etárias abordadas, 10-14 e 15-19 anos. Entre os primeiros, o trabalho associa-se a quase todos os riscos. A relação entre o contexto e as práticas dos adolescentes, assim como as contradições detectadas entre elas, foram analisadas e interpretadas valendo-se da tese da colonização do mundo da vida, proposta por Habermas.<br>This study focuses on health risks among teenagers from two towns in the São Francisco River Valley (Ibiaí and Morada Nova) and slums in Morro das Pedras, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The study discusses teaching and extracurricular activities by the Federal University in Minas Gerais in these localities, aimed at promoting health in adolescence. The authors use the Habermas communicative action theory as the main theoretical and methodological approach. The research adopted a qualitative and quantitative methodology, including dynamic observation, focus groups, interviews, and questionnaires answered by high school students. Sexuality, work, and violence were the main themes and were associated with numerous health risks. Work in the 10-to-14-year-old group was associated with nearly all types of health risks. The authors analyze the relations between context and adolescent behavior using the Habermasian concept of lifeworld colonization

[Health promotion, social epidemiology, and social capital: associations and perspectives for public health].

The idea of health promotion predates the use of the actual term. However, the incorporation of this idea and the practice of health promotion were influenced by the Canadian health reform movement, which echoed the voices of many others who were concerned with the influence of the physical and social environment on health. This provided the basis for the World Health Organization to launch a series of conferences beginning with the Alma Ata Conference in 1977 and followed by the Ottawa Conference, from which resulted the first international document on health promotion, known as the Ottawa Charter. Although health promotion has been the subject of a wide range of studies, the concept is still not well understood and its explicit practice is limited. Health conferences have been important for keeping the notion of equity in health alive, while the gap between the rhetoric of these conferences and practice remains to be bridged. However, the rise of social epidemiology and the development of the concept of social capital for health could bring new insights into traditional epidemiology in order to narrow this gap. The purpose of this paper is to elucidate these concepts and to describe the roles they play in public health in order to stimulate further debate
