Experiência de profissionais de saúde da família com pessoas com fendas orofaciais no Brasil

INTRODUCTION: Orofacial clefts are among the most prevalent birth defects worldwide. Specialized treatment and surveillance of basic health needs are critical. Few studies have investigated primary care practitioners' experience in caring for individuals with clefts. OBJECTIVE: It was to describe experience and current interest of family care practitioners on the management of individuals with clefts. METHODS: Observational cohort of 104 practitioners from Maceió (AL) e Campinas (SP). Demographic, academic and professional characteristics, didactic experience and desire in continuing education on clefts were assessed using a questionnaire RESULTS:Seventy-four practitioners were located in Maceió and 30 in Campinas. Female gender and low academic qualification were predominant. Physicians and nurses prevailed over dentists, 78 (75%) participants had clinical experience with clefts. Use of protocols was mentioned by 3/104 (2.9%), provision of information on clefts by 58/104 (56%) and referrals to the Brazilian Reference Network by 7/104 (6.7%). Almost 50% reported didactic experience and 94%, desire on continuing education in this field CONCLUSION: Results corroborate the literature and reinforce the need of improving family care practitioners' skills to manage individuals with clefts. Education and strengthen ties between primary level of the health system and specialized teams must be focused. Some strategies are presented in this regard.INTRODUÇÃO: As fendas orofaciais estão entre os mais prevalentes defeitos congênitos em todo o mundo.

Diagnosis and treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia: recommendations from the Brazilian Group of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

ABSTRACT Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is characterized by clonal proliferation and progressive accumulation of B-cell lymphocytes that typically express CD19+, CD5+ and CD23+. The lymphocytes usually infiltrate the bone marrow, peripheral blood, lymph nodes, and spleen. The diagnosis is established by immunophenotyping circulating B-lymphocytes, and prognosis is defined by two staging systems (Rai and Binet) established by physical examination and blood counts, as well as by several biological and genetic markers. In this update, we present the recommendations from the Brazilian Group of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The following recommendations are based on an extensive literature review with the aim of contributing to more uniform patient care in Brazil and possibly in other countries with a similar social-economic profile

Characterisation of microbial attack on archaeological bone

As part of an EU funded project to investigate the factors influencing bone preservation in the archaeological record, more than 250 bones from 41 archaeological sites in five countries spanning four climatic regions were studied for diagenetic alteration. Sites were selected to cover a range of environmental conditions and archaeological contexts. Microscopic and physical (mercury intrusion porosimetry) analyses of these bones revealed that the majority (68%) had suffered microbial attack. Furthermore, significant differences were found between animal and human bone in both the state of preservation and the type of microbial attack present. These differences in preservation might result from differences in early taphonomy of the bones. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
