Objectives: To compare the number of hospitalized patients, the number of deaths, days of hospitalization, and values of hospital services with open appendectomy and video-laparoscopic appendectomy procedures. To compare the cost-benefit of open appendectomy and video-laparoscopic appendectomy procedures. To compare the effectiveness of open appendectomy and video-laparoscopic appendectomy procedures. Methodology: This research was carried out through a retrospective, quantitative study, with temporal secondary data collected from the DATASUS database. Scientific articles collected on the electronic data platform Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), US National Library of Medicine (PubMed), and the Ministry of Health (MS) were used to discuss the results. Results: The number of open appendectomies increased by 130.86% from 2008 to 2018, while the number of video-laparoscopic appendectomies increased by 708.31%. The most developed Brazilian regions, that is, South and Southeast, totaled more than half of all laparoscopic procedures performed in Brazil, adding up to 85.52% of the total value. The death rate was 0.27% in open appendectomy and 0.09% in video-laparoscopic appendectomy. Therefore, the death rate was 66.7% lower in video-laparoscopic appendectomy. The average cost to the public coffers was 383.02 Reais for each open appendectomy and 403.02 Reais for each closed appendectomy. Conclusion: The analysis of the unknowns related to appendicitis surgeries shows that factors such as deaths, the average length of stay, and the value of hospital services have significant differences for the doctor and the patient.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) belongs to the class of metabolic diseases whose main symptom associated with this disease is high blood sugar levels for a long period. It can be considered as a d the main diseases in the world, since it causes a large population, The objective of the present study was to analyze the relationship between the blood glucose values established by the Brazilian Society of Diabetes Mellitus with age and sex in a population of a city in the Northwest of São Paulo. This is a retrospective, qualitativequantitative study, with data collected through an epidemiological survey with a group of people, chosen at random, in a city in the northwest region of São Paulo. Data were obtained through capillary blood glucose, for this purpose the test strip was inserted into the blood glucose device, after perforating the patient's finger with the device needle, once the sample was obtained, the test strip was placed in contact with the drop of blood until filling its deposit and after a few seconds the right-handed monitor showed the blood glucose value. The data obtained were tabulated, analyzed and represented in tables and figures. It was found that 52.38% of the individuals were male, and 47.62% were female. The correlation test between blood glucose and age showed no significant correlation between these variables. Therefore, the detection of Diabetes Mellitus carriers in campaigns is of paramount importance, for the understanding of disorders and diabetes care by the affected individual, their families and health professionals, it is of paramount importance since they have direct contact with the disease.

A meningite é uma doença com alta taxa de letalidade, requer diagnóstico e tratamento oportunos e apropriados para evitar a morte e sequelas. Esta doença pode levar à incapacidade vitalícia dos sobreviventes. Neste contexto, objetivou-se na presente pesquisa avaliar o perfil epidemiológico dos casos de meningite no Brasil, diagnosticados em crianças menores que 1 ano e até 9 anos e 11 meses, no período de 2010 a 2020. A presente pesquisa foi realizada por meio de um estudo retrospectivo, quantitativo, com dados secundários temporais coletados da base de dados do DATASUS de acordo com o Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN). As variáveis avaliadas foram: faixa etária, região de notificação, sexo, raça, etiologia e método diagnostico. Os dados foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva e foram representados na forma de gráficos.  No Brasil entre o período de 2010 a 2020 foram diagnosticados 187508 casos de meningite, dos quais 87.939 corresponderam a crianças menores de um ano e de até 9 anos e 11 meses e 28.384 casos em menores de 1 ano. A região Sudeste apresentou o maior número de crianças e neonatos com meningite, e menor número na região Norte. A meningite viral prevaleceu em relação a bacteriana. O sexo masculino e das raças branca e parda foram os mais afetados pela doença. Os critérios de diagnósticos foram: quimiocitológico, clínico, cultura, PCR-viral, AG Latex, clínico-epidemiológico e bacterioscopia.

COVID-19 is an acute viral infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. This pandemic disease stands out for the marked variation in the clinical characteristics of patients, ranging from asymptomatic cases to severe organ dysfunction and death. Serious complications occur in the late phase of the disease or even after viral infection, and thrombotic events are one of these complications. In this context, this study aimed to report a case of an obese, young adult female patient with a complication of pulmonary thromboembolism after infection by COVID-19.
