O Programa de Educação pelo Trabalho para a Saúde (PET-Saúde) visa qualificar a força de trabalho para o Sistema Único de Saúde. O presente estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de avaliar a contribuição de três experiências do PET-Saúde para a formação médica. Com base no materialismo históricodialético, buscou-se compreender a inserção do PET-Saúde na educação médica como fenômeno social subordinado às condições históricas de produção econômica. Os dados foram colhidos de relatos dos estudantes, tutores, preceptores e coordenadores de três grupos do PET-Saúde de duas universidades de Curitiba, por meio de entrevistas e grupos focais. Concluiuse que, em dois grupos, as experiências vivenciadas contribuíram para a formação de trabalhadores flexíveis, efetivos na aplicação da tecnologia para a solução dos problemas nos limites impostos pela ordem vigente. No terceiro grupo, a experiência contribuiu para a formação de sujeitos críticos, capazes de questionar os limites impostos pelo Estado e pela sociedade à plena realização da vida.
Few cases of dermatosis neglecta have been reported in the medical literature, although the diagnosis is well-known to dermatologists. Recognizing this condition avoids unnecessary, aggressive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. This case report discusses two cases of this condition in female patients in whom the dermatosis developed as a result of deliberate or unconscious neglect of personal hygiene. Keywords: Adolescent; Adult; Female; Hygiene Resumo: Poucos são os casos de dermatitis neglecta relatados na literatura, apesar de o diagnóstico ser conhecido pelos dermatologistas. Reconhecer o quadro evita condutas diagnósticas e terapêuticas agressivas e desnecessárias. Os autores relatam dois casos de pacientes do sexo feminino nos quais a dermatite se desenvolveu como resultado intencional ou não de negligência com o asseio pessoal.
Background The increasing number of dengue cases worldwide implies a greater exposure of at-risk groups, such as pregnant women. DENV infection during pregnancy has been increasingly associated with unfavorable outcomes, but the evolution of the disease and its clinical outcomes remain unclear. The objective of this study was to characterize dengue cases in reproductive aged women by comparing the development of the disease in pregnant and non-pregnant women. Methods A population based retrospective cohort study that used data reported in the Brazilian Mandatory Notifiable Diseases Information System from 2016 to 2019 in Paraná, Brazil. We compared sociodemographic, clinical, and laboratory variables between pregnant and non-pregnant women. Hospitalization and disease severity classification (Dengue, Dengue with warning signs, Severe Dengue) were considered outcome variables. Results The two groups had differences in the year of notification, age distribution, and region of residence. Laboratory investigation was more frequent among pregnant women, and DENV-2 prevailed in both groups. The risks of hospitalization and development of Severe Dengue were higher in pregnant women. There were no deaths observed among pregnant women. Conclusion This study identified pregnancy as a risk factor for an increase in the severity of DENV infection. It reinforces the importance of identifying early signs of complication, close monitoring, and adequate treatment for pregnant women.
In order to evaluate the Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope as a method of assessing diabetic retinopathy, 57 consecutive patients with diabetes were examined through undilated pupils using laser ophthalmoscopy followed by pupillary dilatation and direct ophthalmoscopy. Results of laser scanning were recorded on videotape and analysed independently. Scanning (both eyes) took under 5 minutes per patient. For the 113 eyes studied, the two techniques gave concordant results in 73/113 (65%). Where there was discordance, laser ophthalmoscopic severity was greater than direct ophthalmoscopy in 36/40 (90% of discordant results). In 4/40 eyes conventional ophthalmoscopic appearances were judged more severe than those seen with the laser. The laser ophthalmoscope may have value as a method of assessing diabetic retinopathy, but further work is required to evaluate its efficacy as a screening tool in patients with moderate to severe retinopathy.
A Doença de Whipple cursa com diarreia crônica e perda ponderal, devendo ser considerada dentre os diagnósticos diferenciais durante a investigação dessas queixas. O diagnóstico permite tratamento específico desta doença potencialmente curável, reduzindo sua alta morbimortalidade. Neste relato de caso, descreveremos um caso clínico com sintomas inespecíficos, porém típicos da Doença de Whipple, cujo diagnóstico só foi possível por meio do exame anátomo-patológico de amostra obtida por Endoscopia Digestiva Alta, durante investigação de síndrome consuptiva.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
