    Respiratory disorders are responsible for considerable morbidity, health care utilisation, societal costs and approximately one in five deaths worldwide [1-4]. Yet, despite this substantial health and societal burden – which particularly affects the world’s poorest populations and as such is a major contributor to global health inequalities – respiratory disorders have historically not received the policy priority they warrant. For example, despite causing an estimated 1000 deaths per day, less than half of the world’s countries collect data on asthma prevalence (http://www.globalasthmareport.org/). This is true for both communicable and non-communicable respiratory disorders, many of which are either amenable to treatment or preventable

    elsior solution is a new extracellular type of solution that was initially proposed as a cardioplegic solution in heart transplantation. Because of its low viscosity and antioxidant and antioedematogenic properties it was subsequently investigated experimentally and found suitable for lung, kidney, and liver preservation. It is now used with increasing frequency in clinical transplantation. However, this solution has not been used routinely as yet for pancreas preservation, possibly due to the lack of experimental data showing results after transplantation. The aim of this study was to evaluate Celsior in experimental pancreas transplantation

    Este estudo objetivou explorar algumas das possibilidades de informações sobre os transtornos mentais e comportamentais usando a Internet, especificamente dentro do site do Ministério da Saúde, DATASUS. Apresentou elementos que ilustram recursos dos Sistemas de Informação em Saúde, os quais podem ser utilizados pelos enfermeiros como um meio seguro e simplificado para obtenção de dados. O estudo focalizou internações psiquiátricas pelo SIH-SUS no município de Ribeirão Preto, SP. Ante a necessidade do enfermeiro de utilizar os recursos que possam contribuir para a organização dos serviços e para a análise da situação dos transtornos mentais e comportamentais, os dados do SIH-SUS apresentam-se como instrumento possível para desencadear o processo de análise, cujos resultados podem possibilitar mudanças importantes para o gerencimento dos serviços, na busca de qualidade na assistência em saúde mental e psiquiatria.<br>En este estudio se tuvo como objetivo explorar algunas posibilidades de informaciones sobre los trastornos mentales y de comportamiento usando Internet, específicamente dentro de la página Web del Ministerio de Salud, DATASUS.

The site presented elements that illustrate the Health Information Systems' resources, which may be used by nurses as a safe and simplified way of obtaining data. The study focused on psychiatric hospitalization through the SIH-SUS in the city of Ribeirão Preto, State of São Paulo. Given the nurses' needs to use technological resources that can contribute for the organization of the service and the analysis of the situation of the mental and behavior disorders, SIH-SUS data are a possible instrument to start the analysis whose results may make possible important and effective changes for the management of the services, in search for quality in mental and psychiatric health assistance
