Mediante um ensaio terapêutico randomizado e cego em 193 mulheres (15-45 anos de idade) anêmicas (Hb<12mg/dl) e "menstruantes", comparou-se a ação e a adesão ao tratamento com sulfato ferroso (60 mg de Fe elementar), administrado em doses diárias e semanais, em uma comunidade de baixa renda do Recife-PE. Após 12 semanas de tratamento, 150 mulheres chegaram ao final do ensaio, sendo 79 do esquema semanal e 71 do diário. As médias de Hb antes do tratamento foram, respectivamente, 10,52 g/dl (DP = 1,13) e 10,72 g/dl (DP = 0,92) para o esquema alternativo e convencional. Após a intervenção, as médias de Hb alcançaram 11,83 g/dl (DP = 0,97) no esquema semanal e 11,62 g/dl (DP = 1,39) no diário. Não houve significância estatística (p = 0,22) entre as diferenças de médias nos dois esquemas terapêuticos, embora o percentual de cura (48,1%) tenha sido maior no tratamento semanal, quando comparado ao diário (36,6%). Conclui-se que o esquema de tratamento semanal teve a mesma eficácia do diário. A aceitação ao tratamento no primeiro mês foi melhor no esquema semanal, não havendo, entretanto, diferenças nos dois meses subseqüentes.
This study aimed to describe the treatment of patients with wounds in the Primary Health Care. A descriptive research with quantitative approach. Ninety-three Family Health Units of the city of Recife-PE, Brazil, were selected, and 112 nurses were interviewed from July to December 2011. The record book of bandages and procedures and the dressing form were used as an additional source of data. Frequencies, measures of central tendency and dispersion, prevalence and, for continuous variables, the analysis of variance were estimated. The prevalence of patients with wounds was 1.9% of the estimated covered population. Vascular ulcers accounted for 74.1% of the treated wounds. The dressing was predominantly performed by Nursing technicians, and the products available for this procedure did not match the current technological development. Descriptors: Wound Healing; Primary Health Care; Nursing Care.Objetivou-se caracterizar o atendimento de portadores de feridas na Atenção Primária. Pesquisa de caráter descritivo e abordagem quantitativa. Foram selecionadas 93 unidades de Saúde da Família da cidade do Recife, PE, Brasil, sendo entrevistados 112 enfermeiros, entre julho e dezembro de 2011. Como fontes adicionais de dados, foram utilizados o livro de registro de curativos e procedimentos, e o formulário de penso. Estimaram-se frequências, medidas de tendência central e dispersão, prevalência e, para as variáveis contínuas, foi realizada análise de variância. A prevalência dos portadores de feridas foi de 1,9% sobre a população coberta estimada. As úlceras vasculares corresponderam a 74,1% das feridas tratadas. O curativo foi predominantemente realizado pelo técnico de Enfermagem, e os produtos disponíveis para tal procedimento não corresponderam ao desenvolvimento tecnológico atual.
The authors present a complete clinical case report of functional and aesthetic rehabilitation of the smile harmony of a 23-year-old male patient through periodontal plastic surgery, tooth bleaching and prefabricated composite resin veneers, emphasizing the advantages, limitations and patient’s perceptions about the treatment. After clinical and radiographic evaluations, extra and intra-oral photographs were taken, plaster study models were obtained, digital smile design and diagnostic wax-up were performed. The patient accepted and authorized the proposed dental procedures. The treatment proved to be effective, being a practical and safe approach, with aesthetic recovery of the smile harmony and patient satisfaction. KeywordsDental esthetics; Tooth bleaching; Dental veneers; Composite resin.
Objective: to characterize the population served by the Assistance Program for Ostomy Patients. Methods: cross-sectional study, based on data from the Assistance Program for Ostomy Patients. Population of 852 registered patients. A form containing sociodemographic and clinical variables was used. Data analyzed by average comparison, using Student’s ‘t’ test and analysis of variance. Results: the age group most exposed to the investigated surgical procedure was adult/elderly (93.0%), male (52.5%). Congenital malformations and neoplasms were the main causes of ostomy for the group of children and adults/elderly, respectively. Conclusion: the age group most exposed to the studied procedure was adult/elderly, male and from the metropolitan region of the investigated state. Among children, congenital malformations required the making of a temporary ileostomy; among adults/elderly, the neoplasm corresponded to the most frequent indication of permanent colostomies.
