    Os hospitais são ambientes complexos que apresentam grande número de riscos ocupacionais e onde a ocorrência de um acidente pode afetar tanto seus profissionais bem como pacientes, visitantes, instalações e equipamentos. A questão da segurança do trabalho na área de saúde é de grande importância, havendo a necessidade de constante atualização de seus profissionais, possibilitando aos mesmos a formação de uma consciência crítica, permitindo-lhes ainda o desempenho de suas atividades de forma mais consciente e segura. Este trabalho apresenta os resultados de um curso de capacitação em segurança no trabalho ministrado aos trabalhadores de um estabelecimento de assistência à saúde. Os temas fundamentais sobre assunto foram apresentados de modo que todos os participantes puderam identificar os riscos ocupacionais presentes em seus ambientes de trabalho, culminando com uma atividade final em grupo que consistiu na elaboração de mapas de risco. A partir da experiência obtida com este trabalho um modelo de capacitação em higiene e segurança no trabalho é proposto, o qual pode ser aplicado aos profissionais da área de saúde. Além do conteúdo fundamental do curso, deve-se buscar direcionar e acrescentar outros conhecimentos a partir do perfil dos participantes e do tipo de estabelecimento trabalhado.Hospitals are complex environments that present a high number of occupational risks. Once an accident has occurred, it can affect the staff as much as patients, visitors, equipment, and physical installations. The issue of safety at work in health support establishments therefore has great importance. There is a constant need to update the staff in order for them to be aware of new developments and contribute to the safe execution of their tasks. This work presents the results of a safety at work course taught to health assistance establishment professionals. The main fundamental themes concerning safety at work were presented in order to allow the participants to identify the occupational risks in their work environments. At the end of the course, a final group activity was developed in which risk maps were prepared. From the experience gained, a model safety at work course is proposed that can be easily applied to health assistance establishment professionals. The specific content of a course should be adapted according to the profiles of the participants and the establishment.Los hospitales son ambientes complejos que presentan un gran número de riesgos laborales, donde la ocurrencia de un accidente puede afectar tanto a los a su profesionales a los pacientes, visitantes, instalaciones y equipos.

    A redução dos acidentes de trabalho é um dos grandes desafios ao homem. Por isso, cada vez mais têm sido buscadas soluções que possam minimizar os riscos de acidentes nos ambientes de trabalho para melhor desenvolvimento das atividades laborais e conseqüente qualidade de vida dos trabalhadores. Os números oficiais de acidentes divulgados mostram que as ocorrências vêm diminuindo a cada ano, porém mesmo assim, tais números excluem cerca de 63% da massa dos trabalhadores do país, dentre os quais estão, por exemplo, os que atuam fora dos grandes centros urbanos e ainda os que não possuem registro de trabalho. Visando identificar a situação do setor automotivo do município de Itapetinga quanto aos aspectos de saúde e segurança no trabalho, para saber a concepção dos trabalhadores sobre questões acerca do tema, e conseqüente necessidade de implantação de medidas prevencionistas, foi realizada uma pesquisa nas empresas deste setor. Os resultados mostraram que é preciso fornecer informação adequada para os profissionais do setor automotivo acerca dos conceitos e aspectos fundamentais sobre saúde e segurança no trabalho, tanto em função dos resultados obtidos como pela dificuldade dos mesmos em terem acesso a tais orientações

    BACKGROUND: Hypertension can be detected at the primary health-care level and low-cost treatments can effectively control hypertension. We aimed to measure the prevalence of hypertension and progress in its detection, treatment, and control from 1990 to 2019 for 200 countries and territories. METHODS: We used data from 1990 to 2019 on people aged 30-79 years from population-representative studies with measurement of blood pressure and data on blood pressure treatment. We defined hypertension as having systolic blood pressure 140 mm Hg or greater, diastolic blood pressure 90 mm Hg or greater, or taking medication for hypertension. We applied a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate the prevalence of hypertension and the proportion of people with hypertension who had a previous diagnosis (detection), who were taking medication for hypertension (treatment), and whose hypertension was controlled to below 140/90 mm Hg (control). The model allowed for trends over time to be non-linear and to vary by age. FINDINGS: The number of people aged 30-79 years with hypertension doubled from 1990 to 2019, from 331 (95% credible interval 306-359) million women and 317 (292-344) million men in 1990 to 626 (584-668) million women and 652 (604-698) million men in 2019, despite stable global age-standardised prevalence. In 2019, age-standardised hypertension prevalence was lowest in Canada and Peru for both men and women; in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and some countries in western Europe including Switzerland, Spain, and the UK for women; and in several low-income and middle-income countries such as Eritrea, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Solomon Islands for men. Hypertension prevalence surpassed 50% for women in two countries and men in nine countries, in central and eastern Europe, central Asia, Oceania, and Latin America. Globally, 59% (55-62) of women and 49% (46-52) of men with hypertension reported a previous diagnosis of hypertension in 2019, and 47% (43-51) of women and 38% (35-41) of men were treated. Control rates among people with hypertension in 2019 were 23% (20-27) for women and 18% (16-21) for men. In 2019, treatment and control rates were highest in South Korea, Canada, and Iceland (treatment >70%; control >50%), followed by the USA, Costa Rica, Germany, Portugal, and Taiwan. Treatment rates were less than 25% for women and less than 20% for men in Nepal, Indonesia, and some countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Oceania. Control rates were below 10% for women and men in these countries and for men in some countries in north Africa, central and south Asia, and eastern Europe. Treatment and control rates have improved in most countries since 1990, but we found little change in most countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Oceania. Improvements were largest in high-income countries, central Europe, and some upper-middle-income and recently high-income countries including Costa Rica, Taiwan, Kazakhstan, South Africa, Brazil, Chile, Turkey, and Iran. INTERPRETATION: Improvements in the detection, treatment, and control of hypertension have varied substantially across countries, with some middle-income countries now outperforming most high-income nations. The dual approach of reducing hypertension prevalence through primary prevention and enhancing its treatment and control is achievable not only in high-income countries but also in low-income and middle-income settings.

    Case report: a rare mediastinal neuroblastoma in an adult associated with syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH)

    No full text
    Neuroblastoma is an embryonic cancer arising from neural crest stem cell and almost exclusively a pediatric neoplasm. In adults, neuroblastoma is rare and presents worse prognosis compared to children. The most common presentation of this neoplasia is a painless abdominal mass. Other signs and symptoms can be related to mass effect from the primary tumor or as a result of metastatic disease, or paraneoplastic syndromes. There are no well-established treatment guidelines for adults with neuroblastoma. In general, the principle of treatment is determined by risk assessment system, using a multimodal treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy) based on treatment protocols for this neoplasm in children. This case report refers to the diagnosis of neuroblastoma in mediastinum in a 52-year-old woman with locally advanced disease and not able to be removed to diagnosis, accompanied by hyponatremia as paraneoplastic syndrome, which presented a good response to the treatment established

    "APRESENTAÇÃO - Os textos reunidos no livro Em busca de um Horizonte: narrativas sobre educação, arte e resistência foram inspirados nos debates realizados durante o evento VI Simpósio Internacional Horizontes Humanos, que aconteceu na Faculdade de Educação da Universidade de Brasília, em 2018. O livro está dividido em quatro partes: Resistências cotidianas para além da utopia, Demasiado humano: as diferentes linguagens artísticas e culturais, A educação como um horizonte, Educação ambiental e ancestralidade: para continuar caminhando. Apesar da divisão em seções (sempre arbitrária), as produções - bastante diversas nas temáticas, metodologias e referenciais teóricos adotados – compartilham um alinhamento ao adotar um posicionamento político em defesa da diversidade, dos direitos humanos, da ancestralidade, do meio ambiente, da educação com valores democráticos, dos saberes populares e das diferentes linguagens artísticas. Assim, o livro se apresenta como um convite à resistência em tempos atrozes. Os organizadores
