Objective: To describe and improve our understanding of lung cancer epidemiology. Methodology: Retrospective, descriptive and analytic epidemiological study, analyzing histological type, sex, age and radiological results for lung cancer in the municipality of Sinop – MT during the period from 2014 to 2019. Results: 219 lesion biopsies were analyzed. 113 (51.59%) confirmed a diagnosis for lung cancer. The main histological types for the histopathology diagnosis were adenocarcinoma totaling 47 (41.59%) cases, followed by squamous cell carcinoma with 27 (23.89%) cases. Regarding sex, 52 (46.02%) lung cancer cases were found in women and 61 (53.98%) cases in men. In total, the main histological type for both sexes was adenocarcinoma. Regarding age, the predominant age range was 60-69 years with 43 cases (38.05%). In relation to characteristics of tomography imaging for lung cancer cases, nodule location was statistically significant, mainly in the right lung upper lobe, a finding observed in other sources, where the upper right lobe was found to have a greater incidence of malignancy. Conclusions: the main histological type was adenocarcinoma, with the majority of malignant lesions occurring in men, with an age range from 60 to 69 years. The most common image for cancer cases was solid lesion larger than 8 mm with irregular borders found in the right lung upper lobe.
Introduction: Syphilis is a disease transmitted mainly sexually and vertically. Congenital syphilis is preventable when a pregnant woman is treated, warning about the importance of prenatal screening. Objective: To describe the epidemiological profile of gestational and congenital syphilis in the state of Mato Grosso - Brazil. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, using secondary data from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN), from 2011 to 2020. Results: 5120 cases of gestational syphilis and 2320 cases of syphilis were reported congenital in the state of Mato Grosso. The induced cases increased over the years, with notification peak of gestational syphilis in the year 2019 with 942 (18%) cases and congenital syphilis in the year of 2018 with 322 (14%) cases. Most women affected by gestational syphilis were young, with low education, mixed race, who underwent prenatal care, did not have their partners treated concomitantly and had a late diagnosis after the first trimester. Patients with congenital syphilis were mostly diagnosed early. Conclusion: The findings change flaws in prenatal care and the need for greater investments in innovative actions in order to reduce vertical transmission of syphilis.
Na China, em dezembro de 2019, foram relatados os primeiros casos da patologia respiratória COVID-19, doença causado pelo SARS-CoV-2, um RNA vírus. A propagação foi veloz e global, de maneira que a Organização Mundial de Saúde definiu como pandemia em março de 2020. A doença tem manifestação clínica variada, com enfermos assintomáticos ou manifestando quadro crítico, apresentando alta transmissibilidade e letalidade considerável. Simultaneamente, indivíduos com indicação cirúrgica, de origem traumática ou não, tiveram seus atendimentos eletivos paralisados e houve queda nos índices de intervenções de cunho emergencista, tanto devido o medo do indivíduo procurar um serviço de saúde e ser contaminado pelo coronavírus, quanto por outros fatores. Essa revisão teve como objetivo averiguar como a pandemia acometeu serviços de cirurgia geral de emergência, bem como elucidar os preditores e fatores que ocasionaram mudanças no manejo e intervenções cirúrgicas durante o surto de SARS-CoV-2.
