OBJETIVO: Identificar a autopercepção da imagem corporal entre estudantes de nutrição no município do Rio de Janeiro. MÉTODOS: Estudo seccional junto a estudantes de nutrição do sexo feminino. Para dimensionar a prevalência de distorção de imagem corporal, utilizou-se o Body Shape Questionaire (BSQ) em sua versão para o português, adotando-se o intervalo de confiança de 95%. Para o estudo das associações, empregou-se o teste qui-quadrado. RESULTADOS: A amostra foi de193 estudantes, tendo como média de idade 20,9 anos (± 2). O escore médio do BSQ foi 81,2 pontos (± 33,6), correspondendo à preocupação leve com a auto-imagem corporal. A prevalência de universitárias com distorção grave da imagem corporal foi de 6,2% (IC 95%; 3,2%-10,6%). Observou-se associação estatisticamente significativa (p < 0,026) entre o BSQ e o índice de massa corporal (IMC) categorizado. Também foi significativa a associação entre BSQ moderado ou grave e insatisfação com o peso (p < 0,001). CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados encontrados evidenciam que o ideal de corpo magro imposto pela sociedade prevalece, pois mulheres com peso adequado apresentaram insatisfação com sua imagem corporal, desejando alterá-la para se adequar aos padrões sociais. Em se tratando de futuras nutricionistas, o impacto desse achado é ainda mais relevante, tendo em vista seu papel no manejo desses quadros.

A sepse representa a principal causa de morte nas Uti em todo o mundo. Muitos estudos têm demonstrado um aumento da incidência ao longo do tempo e apenas uma leve redução na mortalidade. MÉTODO: Foi realizado um estudo prospectivo em 65 hospitais de todas as regiões do Brasil. os pacientes que foram admitidos com sepse ou que desenvolveram sepse no mês de setembro de 2003 foram incluídos. o acompanhamento foi feito até o 28º dia de internação Sepse Brasil: Estudo Epidemiológico da Sepse em Unidades de terapia intensiva Brasileiras*

Objective: To perform a systematic review in which the clinical research question for primary teeth with irreversible pulpal pathosis was "how pulpectomies with zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) paste performed compared to other materials in their clinical and radiographic outcomes after twelve months or more follow-up period.Study design: A literature survey of the electronic database (1950-2010) used the Medical Subject Headings and free text terms. Forty three references were retrieved and inclusion criteria were applied; 15 articles remained for full-text evaluation. From these, two were selected for data extraction regarding quality characteristics and results. Results: Selected studies showed moderate or high risk of bias. The overall success of pulpectomy was 80.0% (Calcicur), 60.0% (Sealapex) and varied from 85.0% to 100.0% (ZOE) and 89.0% to 100.0% (Vitapex). Solely Calcicur presented success rate significantly lower when compared to ZOE and Vitapex. These pastes lead to overfilled canals and particles of extruded ZOE were still evident even after the evaluation period. Resorption of Vitapex, Calcicur and Sealapex within the root canal was also reported. Conclusions: In primary teeth with irreversible pulpal changes ZOE pulpectomies yielded similar outcome than Vitapex and Sealapex, although there was no agreement with regard to filling materials' resorption.

Irregular meal habits, smoking and low education were associated with the under-report of EI. Both FR and 24hR are subjected to bias suggesting the need of refining the procedures applied in dietary assessment methods.

Snakebite envenoming affects close to 2.7 million people globally every year. In Brazil, snakebites are reported to the Ministry of Health surveillance system and cases receive antivenom free of charge. There is an urgent need to identify higher risk areas for antivenom distribution, and to develop prevention activities. The objective of this study is to provide an overview of the epidemiological situation of snakebite envenoming in Brazil and explore possible drivers; as well as to create a flowchart tool to support decision-makers identify higher risk areas. An ecological-type study was carried out using data by municipality (2013–2017). Study parts: 1) Create a geocoded database and perform a descriptive and cluster analysis; 2) Statistical analysis to measure the association of snakebite and possible environmental and socioeconomic drivers; 3) Develop a flowchart to support decision-makers and the application of this tool in one state (Rio Grande do Sul) as an example. An average of 27,120 snakebite cases per year were reported at the country level. Clusters of municipalities with high numbers of snakebites are mostly found in the Amazon Legal Region. The negative binomial regression model showed association with the snakebite case count: the type of major habitat, tropical or non-tropical; temperature; percentage of urbanization; precipitation; elevation; GDP per capita; a weaker relation with forest loss; and with venomous snake richness. The state where the instrument was applied reported 4,227 snakebites in the period. Most municipalities were considered as medium risk and 56/496 as high risk according to the tool created. Snakebite cases are distributed across the entire country with the highest concentration in the Legal Amazon Region. This creates a complex situation both for better understanding of the association of environmental and socioeconomic factors with snakebites and for the distribution and maintenance of antivenom to remote areas. Research into types of antivenom with a longer shelf life without the need for refrigeration is needed.
