A prevalência de tuberculose, no total de ESF analisadas, foi de 0,51/1000 pessoas cadastradas. Conclusão: A taxa elevada de casos de TB no município pode estar relacionada a um aumento na qualidade da busca ativa dos pacientes, levando a um número elevado de notificações pelas ESF. Essa taxa elevada de notificações é relevante, uma vez que atenta para a importância das ESF na elaboração e adoção de medidas preventivas.Background and Objectives: Tuberculosis (TB), a communicable-infectious disease, is a major public health problem in Brazil and worldwide, integrating the National List of Compulsory Notification Diseases. Due to the high incidence observed, the city of Santa Cruz do Sul is one of the priority municipalities for disease notification control in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. In this context, the Family Health Strategies (FHS) are important contributors to the notification process, as they are being increasingly used as points of access into the health system and disease control units. This study aims to establish the prevalence of notification of TB cases in FHS units in Santa Cruz do Sul. Methods: The present was an observational, cross-sectional study. Data from families registered in 11 FHS units in the city of Santa Cruz do Sul, related to the year 2013, were used. Results: The total number of reported cases was 17, all of which were aged 15 years or older. The files did not specify the gender of the reported individuals. The prevalence of tuberculosis in the total FHS units analyzed was 0.51/1,000 registered individuals. Conclusion: The high rate of TB cases in the municipality may be related to an increase in the quality of active search of patients, leading to a higher number of notifications by the FHS units. This high rate of notifications is relevant, as it discloses the importance of the FHS in the creation and adoption of preventive measures.

Magalhães MC et al. The study has a crosssectional, retrospective, secondary records, obtained through the review of medical records for the period from 1994 to 2014 at a referral service in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Results: Twenty-four victims of sexual violence were found in the period, of which 91.6% were female. The mean age was 19.3 years. 12.5% of the victims received emergency contraception and 29.1% received prophylaxis against STIs. Conclusion: Our data corroborate those found in the literature regarding the profile of sexual violence victims, however, the prophylaxis against STIs was low, demonstrating the need to plan public policies aimed at this profile, with the objective of harm reduction and construction of conditions of protection and autonomy of the people in this situation.
