Resumo Introdução A estruturação dos serviços de saúde é um elemento fundamental para dar respostas à carga de doenças crônicas. Objetivo Analisar a relação entre internações e óbitos pelas doenças do aparelho circulatório e a estrutura nos serviços de saúde. Método Estudo transversal desenvolvido em estado do Centro-Oeste brasileiro, região de saúde composta de 17 municípios e 1.112.792 habitantes. Foram analisadas as dimensões demográfica, epidemiológica e de estrutura de saúde pela estatística descritiva e correlação linear de Pearson. Resultados A taxa da mortalidade por doenças do aparelho circulatório foi de 29,49%, superior aos achados no país e no Centro-Oeste. Houve correlação significativa entre internação por doenças isquêmicas do coração e número de leitos e entre internação por doenças do aparelho circulatório e número de serviços especializados para cada 10 mil habitantes. Conclusão As diferenças encontradas entre internações e a existência dos serviços especializados e leitos indicam que a população que reside em municípios com estrutura de serviços complexa possui mais acesso aos serviços e às internações. Os resultados demonstram que deve haver mais cuidado na conformação e oferta de serviços na Rede de Atenção à Saúde para as doenças do aparelho circulatório, visando assegurar equidade no acesso da população aos serviços pactuados.

There is a scarcity of studies on the prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) in indigenous populations of Brazil. We conducted a cross-sectional study between January and December 2018, on indigenous women living nearby an urban center of the Midwest region of Brazil and determined the prevalence of TV. Factors associated with TV infection and a comparison of molecular and direct microscopy diagnoses were determined. 241 indigenous women aged above 18 years participated in the study. Cervical and vaginal brush samples were collected to diagnose TV through polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Direct microscopy for detection of TV, and cellular changes was performed. A sociodemographic and behavioral questionnaire was applied at the beginning of the study. All the data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. The result obtained showed that 27.8% [95% CI: 22.2-33.9] were positive for TV on PCR, while 7.41% [95% CI: 4.1-11] showed positive on direct microscopy. Direct microcopy also found 21 (8.71%) and 8 (3.31%) women infected with Gardnerella vaginalis and Candida albicans, respectively. In addition, 10 women presented atypical squamous cells of unknown significance and 14 lesions suggestive of HPV. Single women, under the age of 30 and who do not use condoms, were found to have a greater chance of getting TV infection. The high prevalence TV found in this population is comparable to highly vulnerable populations, as prisoners, sex workers and women in regions with low socioeconomic levels, moreover, seems to be an underdiagnosis of this infection. Therefore, a routine test program, as well as a review of the diagnostic method used, is encouraged for proper management.

Objectives: to analyze government social initiatives aimed at people with tuberculosis and the possibilities of access to government social programs and income transfers through the perception of tuberculosis program managers. Methods: descriptive, qualitative study with 19 managers from Belém, Recife, Campo Grande, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Thematic content analysis was used. Results: there is no specific government social support for people with tuberculosis; the benefits are intended for people in social vulnerability. There are partnerships between the institutions of the secondary social healthcare network, social assistance, and community institutions. Final Considerations: the support of official bodies is important for the control of tuberculosis; however, the profile of people’s vulnerability is a determining factor for access to/destination of resources from these government social support programs.

Introduction: In Brazil, a country with high temperatures, favorable to the development of the vector, the mosquito has already become a problem, not only because of Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya, which plague some Brazilian regions. Objectives: To identify patients assisted in Campo Grande (MS) and Dourados (MS) with febrile symptoms and their possible depressive symptoms. Methodology: This is a cohort study with patients who obtained a proven clinical-epidemiological and laboratory diagnosis of Dengue (ELISA; qRT-PCR and NS1), treated at the SUS network in the cities of Campo Grande (MS) and Dourados (MS). The collection period was from 2018, starting from April to September 2019. The CES-D instrument was used to perform the possible diagnosis of depression. Results: In the 115 participants positive for Dengue, a sample in V0 was verified with 63.5% who developed symptoms of depression. In period V14, patients positive for Dengue totaled 37.4% and these patients did not develop depression according to the sample of the instrument used and totaled 62.6%. Discussion: It was possible to verify in this study that depression is a mood disorder whose symptom together brings suffering and, mainly, social and occupational damage to the analyzed sample. Conclusion: There is a significant direct relationship between the number of patients who developed depression in the illness process of febrile illnesses.
