INTRODUCTION: The incidence of oral cancer varies widely in the world, with two thirds of cases diagnosed in developing countries. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the epidemiology of deaths from oral cancer and the spatial distribution in the city of Aracaju in the state of Sergipe between 2000 and 2009. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Data were collected using the Mortality Information System (MIS) of Aracaju/SE at the DATASUS website and were tabulated using the software TABWIN 3.4. The geographic distribution of deaths by neighborhoods of that city was visualized. RESULT: Of the 78 deaths, 61 (78.2%) were male. The mean age was 64.23 years. Individuals of mixed ethnicity had a higher death frequency (34.6%). Regarding education, the majority of death certificates recorded the option ignored, followed by individuals with 1 to 3 years of study. The anatomical sites most affected were unspecified parts of the mouth (43.6%). The spatial distribution analysis indicated that neighborhoods such as Santos Dumont, Luzia, Atalaia, Santa Maria, Cidade Nova and Industrial had the highest death frequencies. CONCLUSION: Males between the fifth and sixth decades of life of mixed ethnicity, low education and in neighborhoods with low and very low standards of living constitute the epidemiological profile for deaths from oral cancer.

This study aims to evaluate, in vitro, the effect of Aloe vera associated with endodontic medication, with or without laser photobiomodulation (FTL) irradiation in FP6 human pulp fibroblasts. The materials were divided into eight groups: CTR - control; CL - FTL alone; AA - Aloe vera with distilled water; AL - Aloe vera with distilled water and FTL; HA - calcium hydroxide P.A. with distilled water; HL - calcium hydroxide P.A. with distilled water and FTL; HAA - calcium hydroxide P.A. with Aloe vera and distilled water; HAL - calcium hydroxide P.A. with Aloe vera, distilled water, and FTL. The cytotoxicity was evaluated by MTT assay at 24, 48, and 72h and the genotoxicity by micronucleus test assay. This study was performed in triplicate. Data obtained in both tests were statistically analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey's tests (p≤0.05). Group AA presented high genotoxicity and low cytotoxicity. After 24, 48, and 72h, the group HAA significantly reduced the cell viability. Interaction with FTL showed slightly increase cell viability after 24 and 48h in groups CL and HL (p<0.001), despite the high genotoxicity in group CL and low genotoxicity in group HL. Group AL showed higher cell survival rate at 72h (p<0.05) and high genotoxicity (p<0.001). It was concluded that Aloe vera allowed higher cell viability in human pulp fibroblasts in the presence of calcium hydroxide or with FTL separately, but genotoxicity increased in these associations.

The concept of career and relationship of people with their jobs had been modified due to the economic and social changes over recent decades. The idea of a stable and lasting career through the jobs in organizations ceased to exist, driving people to seek alternatives to the construction of their professional careers. Many find on entrepreneurship a chance to develop their careers. Entrepreneurs are characterized by the predisposition to take risks, the capability to convert ideas into accomplishments and the ability to innovate. They build their careers through the creation of an enterprise. The way that the entrepreneur develops his path, is the focus of this research. This is an exploratory study of qualitative approach, which aimed to investigate how the entrepreneur develops his career. To this end, semi-structured interviews were conducted where participants were asked to do a narrative of their professional life stories and discourse about issues related to the development of their careers. The participants were 16 businessmen of the state of Goias that revealed entrepreneurial characteristics. The material generated from the interview transcript was analysed using the method of content analysis. Were executed the coding and the categorization of the messages contained in the interviews and the information proceeding from these procedures were the basis for the interpretation of results. Entrepreneurs revealed that the development of their careers is based on knowledge acquired from their experiences, on their networks and on the effort and the dedication that devote at work. To build his career, the entrepreneur must to develop the skills of people management, vision of opportunities and capability of innovation. Career development is tied to the performance of the business and most of the professional goals of the entrepreneur are directed to the organization. The family occupies a central role in the career of the entrepreneur, providing financial and psychological assistance and representing a foothold in their lives. Due to the results, some hypotheses were formulated, which can be used as guidelines for future studies about this topic. Reflections about the results have generated the proposition of a model that aims to present the development of the entrepreneur career, through the perspective of stages related to the variable time and the growth of the enterprise.

The National Emergency Policy guarantees that the urgent medical, surgical, gynecological, obstetric, psychiatric, and pediatric situations, as well as other ones related to external causes may be assisted. SAMU-192, which was established by Decree 1.864/03, is the department which is responsible for answering all urgent calls concerning the health care of the population. The psychiatric crisis is seen as an emergency, since the user needs quick service in order to avoid that this person gets hurt or even hurts someone else. Because of this, the psychiatric care, performed by SAMU Aracaju, from January/2010 to February/2011 was characterized. The survey was conducted in the database of SAMU Aracaju. Regarding gender, it was found that 69% were male and the main occurrences were classified as "busy" (51%) and transfers (23%). The main destination of the patients was the Psychiatric Emergency of the city (59.3%). It can be concluded that the SAMU Aracaju is an important means to assist the psychiatric emergency, so it is important that managers constantly monitor these calls seeking intersectoral planning that may contribute to the optimization of all health services and therefore generate good health care to the entire population.

Introdução: a cárie dentária ainda é considerada um problema de saúde pública com relevante impacto na saúde das pessoas. As ações educativas no âmbito da saúde bucal possibilitam a criação de hábitos e noções de autocuidado, especialmente quando desenvolvidas em ambientes estimuladores, como as escolas. O Tratamento Restaurador Atraumático (TRA) caracteriza-se como uma abordagem que enquadra-se na proposta da Odontologia de mínima intervenção, sendo uma das principais opções para o tratamento de lesões cariosas em pré-escolares. Objetivo: realizar uma revisão de literatura com ênfase na aplicação do TRA associado à promoção em saúde bucal em crianças escolares com risco à cárie. Método: revisão integrativa da literatura, composta por estudos publicados entre os anos de 2010 e 2020, encontrados nas bases de dados SciELO, LILACS e Portal de Periódicos CAPES e selecionados de acordo com os critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Resultados: foram encontrados 6 artigos publicados. Os estudos abordam intervenções em ambientes escolares que fizeram uso do TRA junto com as demais atividades de promoção e prevenção em saúde bucal. Conclusão: essa integração de ações proporciona resultados bastante satisfatórios na saúde bucal de escolares, na medida em que reduz a incidência de novas lesões cariosas e promove uma maior longevidade das restaurações.

RESUMO A obtenção de níveis adequados de satisfação no âmbito do trabalho garante envolvimento e comprometimento dos profissionais na execução de suas atividades. Por outro lado, baixo nível de satisfação pode acarretar prejuízo em todas as dimensões de suas existências, afetando a saúde, o trabalho, a família e as suas relações sociais. Desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o grau de satisfação com as condições de trabalho de profissionais como cirurgiões-dentistas, médicos e enfermeiros da Estratégia de Saúde da Família do Município de Aracaju, Estado de Sergipe, Brasil. Para tanto, foi efetuado um estudo seccional de cunho descritivo. Os dados foram coletados através de um questionário estruturado, previamente validado, considerando diferentes dimensões relevantes para aferição da satisfação com as condições do trabalho. Os resultados demonstraram baixos níveis de satisfação na maioria das dimensões avaliadas. Aquelas que se referiam ao salário, condições de saúde e segurança no trabalho apresentaram as menores médias. O fator de maior insatisfação para as categorias profissionais estudadas foi a remuneração salarial. Sugere-se a realização de uma análise criteriosa sobre as condições de trabalho desses profissionais e a efetivação de ações no intuito de contribuir para que haja satisfação no ambiente laboral.
