Material e Métodos: Amostras de areia, coletadas em pontos definidos ao longo das praias, entre setembro de 2007 e agosto de 2008, foram analisadas quanto à presença de cistos de protozoários e ovos ou larvas de helmintos. Resultados: Contaminação por parasitos foi identificada em 29,1% das amostras (n=51) apresentaram-se contaminadas simultaneamente por helmintos e protozoários, 60,6% das amostras (n=106) apresentaram algum tipo de protozoário e 44,4% (n=77), algum tipo de helminto, enquanto 43 amostras (24,6%) não apresentaram qualquer estágio evolutivo de parasito. Os achados mais frequentes foram amebas (50,9%) e ascarídeos (32,6%). Altura da maré no momento da coleta não influenciou a contaminação da amostra por protozoários ou helmintos. Entretanto, baixa umidade relativa da amostra foi correlacionada à contaminação de helmintos, mas não de protozoários. Conclusão: A contaminação da areia das praias urbanas da capital paraibana por protozoários e helmintos potencialmente parasitos foi confirmada e estes dados podem orientar a implantação de ações para melhorar a qualidade de vida da população que frequenta o litoral da cidade de João Pessoa.

Introduction:The stress due to the work in the health professionals is becoming an important problem.The medicine promotes high levels of stress,which can result in negative consequences to the professionals. Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of Burnout Syndrome (BS) and associated factors in pediatricians of neonatal care in Mossoró/RN.

Objective: This study performed a literature review evaluating aspects of prevalence and motivations on the non-medical use of methylphenidate by medical students. Methods: We searched the Scopus, PubMed, SciELO, and Web of Science databases and the Google Scholar search tool using the keywords "Methylphenidate" and "Medical Student" and their correlates in Portuguese. A total of 472 articles were recovered, of which 24 were included for full reading and discussion after the application of the pre-established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: It was observed that the prevalence of non-prescribed use of methylphenidate ranged from 0.51% in Lithuania to 35% in Colombia. The main motivations reported for using the drug were academic outcomes improvement and increase in concentration during studies, although research shows no significant improvement in academic performance with the use of medication by healthy individuals. Conclusion: The non-prescribed use of methylphenidate presents a high and worrying frequency. Also, scientific studies questioning the use of psychostimulant medications for cognitive improvement by healthy students make the practice illegal and unfounded.
