Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é estimar a prevalência e os fatores associados ao uso de álcool durante a gestação. Estudo de corte transversal em uma amostra de 361 gestantes de um serviço de referência à assistência ginecológica e pré-natal. Os dados relacionados às características sociodemográficas, uso de álcool e potenciais fatores associados foram coletados por meio de entrevista face a face. Análise de regressão de Poisson com variância robusta foi utilizada para verificar os fatores associados ao desfecho analisado. O consumo de álcool na amostra estudada foi de 17,7% (IC 95%: IC 95%: 14,1-22,0%). Antecedentes de diabetes pré-gestacional ou gestacional, ideação suicida e uso de tabaco nos últimos 30 dias foi associado ao uso de álcool durante a gestação (p < 0,05). O estudo apontou alta prevalência de uso de álcool na gestação atual e a sua associação com importantes fatores. Ações como rastreio para o álcool e aconselhamentos sobre os problemas associados ao uso dessa substância principalmente no pré-natal podem contribuir para redução efetiva ou anulação do seu uso em gestantes e agravos materno-fetais relacionados.
The aim of the present study is to analyze the scientific production in oncology about SAE under analysis of the difficulties faced by nursing to promote its implementation in health institutions. The search was carried out in the Lilacs and Medline databases. The inclusion criteria were the time frame from 2007 to 2017 and articles published in Portuguese, English and Spanish, and the sample consisting of 26 articles. It was decided to segment the results in three main areas for educational purposes, namely: organizational profile; specialty in oncology; professional qualification. It concludes that it is necessary to identify the difficulties in order to find ways to overcome them. In this way, it is believed that the Systematization of Nursing Assistance can be effectively constituted as a resolutive health tool in the provision of nursing care provided to patients with malignant neoplasms.
Infection control measures have been responsible for a decline in the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections in hemodialysis patients. In Brazil, these measures have been in place since 1996. The aim of this study was to evaluate the current HBV and HCV epidemiology among hemodialysis patients in the State of Tocantins comparing them with those found 14 years ago. There was a significant decline in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and anti-HCV prevalence from 4% and 13% in 2001 to 0.8% and 2.8% in 2014-2015, respectively (p < 0.05). Variables related to hemodialysis environment such as working shift and length of time on hemodialysis treatment were no longer associated to HCV and HBV exposure in 2014-2015. A high prevalence of self-reported hepatitis B vaccination was observed in both periods, but only 30% of the individuals showed serological profile of effective previous immunization, suggesting a low compliance with surveillance of hepatitis B immunization in hemodialysis centers. The significant decline in viral hepatitis B and C prevalence in hemodialysis patients in Tocantins underscores the importance of infection control measures, but the low frequency of protective serological profile after immunization against hepatitis B points to the need for greater vigilance of the patients’ vaccination.
descriptive statistics. Results: 2303 cases of breast cancer in woman were registered on these cities. The average age of women with a breast cancer diagnosis was 55 years, and pertaining relationship status, a little over 42% fitted the not single category, and over 43% had no data. About the skin color, 37.06% were white and over 39% had not filled this variable on the record. About the tumor aspects related to the disease's extension, we identified that in over 48% of the cases the tumors were classified as localized, over 23% as regional and only 4.23% as distant. About the tumor's side, over 33% had no information, 31.04% were located at the right side and 33.40% at the left side. About the tumor's type most cases, 85.5%, were invasive ductal carcinoma, 4.6% ductal carcinoma in situ, 2.6% invasive lobular carcinoma and only 0.30% lobular carcinoma in situ. 106 cases had no information about the tumor's type. Conclusion: This study's goal was a better comprehension about this disease's effect on the patients: it's evolution, association with risk factors, presence of metastasis and mortality.
