Carotid-jugular fistulae are rare, but habitually cause morbidity and mortality. They are often linked with penetrating trauma, primarily caused by gunshots. This report describes the case of a patient who was the victim of a gunshot wound to the left cervical area, provoking a carotid-jugular arteriovenous fistula and occlusion of the common carotid artery. The fistula was corrected by ligature of the internal jugular vein and arteriorrhaphy of the left common carotid artery with a bovine pericardium patch.
Behcet' s disease is form of systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology. One surprising feature is that arterial involvement is less common in this disease than venous forms, accounting for 1 to 7% of patients. In 7 to 30% of cases the vascular symptoms precede the clinical diagnosis of Behcet. We describe the case of a patient with Thromboangiitis Obliterans who was treated with lumbar sympathectomy and an aortobiiliac bypass. Around 1 year later he was diagnosed with Behcet' s disease after presenting with oral ulcers, genital ulcers and scaling lesions on the hands.Keywords: Behcet Syndrome; arteritis; peripheral arterial disease. ResumoA Doença de Behçet é uma vasculite sistêmica de etiologia desconhecida. O inusitado é que o acometimento arterial nesta doença é menos comum que o venoso, correspondendo a 1 a 7% dos pacientes. Já os sintomas vasculares precedem o diagnóstico clínico de Behçet em 7 a 30%. Relatamos o caso de um paciente portador de Tromboangeíte Obliterante que foi submetido a simpatectomia lombar e derivação aorto-bi-ilíaca. Após cerca de um ano, diagnosticou-se Doença de Behçet, devido a quadro clínico de úlceras orais, genitais e lesões descamativas nas mãos.Palavras-chave: Síndrome de Behçet; arterite; doença arterial periférica.
Objectives: to analyze studies about cardiac pacemaker in nationals nursing thesis, dissertations and journals, published between 1996 e 2005; to identify the Brazilian studies about orientations to cardiac pacemaker patients published between 1996 e 2005 and to list the identified ones. Methodology: descriptive, exploratory and bibliographic study that used journals nationals listed in LILACS, BDENF, SciELO e CEPEnb - Center of Studies and Researches in Nursing data bases.

Conclusions: there are a few articles about pacemaker patients’ orientations, but there are reports that it interferes in people’s life. Probably, there are professionals doing well succeeded interventions with pacemaker patients but just some are writing about their professional experiences. Descriptors: nursing; pacemaker; artificial; cardiac pacing; artificial; quality of life.RESUMOObjetivos: analisar o conteúdo dos estudos sobre marcapasso cardíaco definitivo publicados em periódicos, teses e dissertações nacionais de enfermagem, no período de 1996 a 2005; identificar estudos que abordam orientações aos portadores de marcapasso cardíaco definitivo, publicados em periódicos, teses e dissertações nacionais da área da saúde, no período de 1996 a 2005 e listar as orientações nacionais aos portadores de marcapasso cardíaco definitivo, publicadas no período de 1996 a 2005. Metodologia: estudo descritivo, exploratório e bibliográfico, cuja busca foi nos periódicos nacionais indexados nas bases LILACS, BDENF, SciELO e CEPEn - Centro de Estudos e Pesquisas em Enfermagem. Consultados estudos nacionais da enfermagem com o termo “marcapasso definitivo” no título, e demais estudos nacionais da área de saúde abordando “orientações aos portadores de marcapasso”. Resultados: foram identificadas duas dissertações e uma tese da Enfermagem. Nos demais periódicos nacionais da área da saúde foram encontrados cinco artigos sobre marcapasso. As orientações identificadas eram relativas às prováveis interferências do ambiente doméstico, social, profissional e hospitalar sobre o gerador, não direcionadas à pessoa portadora de marcapasso. Conclusão: há escassez de artigos sobre orientações ao portador de marcapasso, mas há relatos de que ele interfere na vida das pessoas. É provável que haja profissionais realizando intervenções bem sucedidas com os portadores, mas poucos divulgam as experiências. Descritores: enfermagem; marca-passo artificial; estimulação cardíaca artificial; qualidade de vida.RESUMENObjetivos: analizar estudios sobre marcapaso publicados en los periódicos y tesis de enfermería brasileña entre 1996 y 2005; identificar estudios publicados entre 1996 y 2005 en los periódicos nacionales y tesis del área de la salud que abordan orientaciones a los portadores de marcapaso y listar las orientaciones disponibles.
