“…Carvalho et al (5) in a study with 343 HIV patients, showed that the preva lence of coinfection based on the detection of antiHCV was 4.1% (n = 14) and 3.2% (n = 11) when used in the RTPCR. In Rondônia, this association may be even higher, because studies on the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS in the state show that the disease is on the rise (25,26) . In this study it was noted that 91.1% of the infected individuals are in the chronic phase of the disease.…”

-Context -Hepatitis C causes a major impact on public health due to the high prevalence in the population. ObjectivesEvaluate the epidemiological data of hepatitis C in the State of Rondônia, Brazil. Methods Data from hepatitis C were analyzed during the period 2002 to 2012, assigned by the Agency for Sanitary Vigilance of the State of Rondônia. The variables studied were: year of diagnosis, gender, age, associated disease, exposure to risk factors and clinical presentation. Results Eight hundred fiftynine cases were reported during the study period. Of this total, 542 (63.1%) cases were male. In relation to age group, the one with the highest number of cases was between 4059 years (54%), followed by 2039 years (33.5%). In relation to sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) association, 1.8% of patients had HIV and 2.1% other type of sexually transmitted disease. About exposure to risk factors, 288 (28.1%) individuals were exposed to a surgical procedure. Was also analyzed the clinical form of the disease, 9.9% are in acute disease and 91.1% in the chronic phase. Conclusions In the State of Rondônia, hepatitis C had a mean annual incidence of 5.1 cases/100,000 inhabitants, similar to the national rate. HEADINGS -Descriptive epidemiology. Hepatitis C.

“…It is believed that this value may be even higher, because HIV in Rondônia tends to be underreported (13,15) . Despite the low proportion of HIV, these patients should be routinely evaluated and with greater caution, because the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) associated with HBV causes deterioration of liver function in a short period of time, even with the use of anti-retroviral therapy (3) .…”

Background The Amazon is one of the regions who have the highest rates of infection by the hepatitis B virus in the world. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the epidemiological data and spatial distribution of hepatitis B cases reported between 2002 and 2012 in the Brazilian State of Rondônia. Methods Social and clinical data of these individuals were studied through the Information System for Notifiable Diseases (SINAN), including the following variables: gender, age group, vaccination, contact with a known patient with HBV, exposure to risk factors, source of infection, and clinical status. Results There were 7,132 cases reported in Rondônia, with an average incidence rate of 42/100,000 inhabitants per year. The municipalities with the highest incidence rates were Monte Negro (187.6/100,000 inhabitants) and Ariquemes (157.2/100,000 inhabitants). The 20-39 year-old age group had the highest number of cases (n = 3,834), and 69.9% of patients were likely infected via sexual contact. Regarding the clinical disease status, most of the patients (80.7%) were in the chronic phase. Conclusions There was a recent 402% increase in the diagnosis of hepatitis B, which is likely owing to the improvements in the public diagnostic system. This highlights the need for public policies to prevent and control the disease.

“…As highlighted by Pereira et al (2019), bone densitometry is an effective tool to identify changes in bone mineral density, allowing for early and targeted intervention. In this way, women in the age group above 60 years can benefit enormously when performing this examination, since bone loss accelerates significantly after menopause.…”

Introduction: Osteoporosis is one of the main public health problems affecting the elderly (over 60 years of age). It is characterized by a reduction in bone mineral density (BMD) together with a deterioration in the microarchitecture of bone tissue, which leads to increased skeletal fragility and the likelihood and risk of fractures. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the bone density of women aged between 60 and 70 referred to the bone densiometry department of a clinic in the Mucuri valley, in Nanuque (MG). Methodology: The research used in this study is classified as documentary research because it aims to analyze bone density in a group of women aged 60 to 70 who underwent bone densiometry at a clinic in Nanuque Minas Gerais. Results: In addition, it is worth noting that one third of women aged sixty-five have osteoporosis and 50% of women over 75 have been diagnosed with this pathology, i.e. assessing the patient's age is fundamental for analyzing the diagnosis, treatment and evolution of the pathology Conclusion: After the end of the study carried out in the city of Nanuque, it was identified that the objectives of the article were achieved, since it was possible to analyze the bone density of women in the age group of 60 to 70 years in this municipality, also, the age group, the diagnosis after the result of the examination and the ethnicity were identified.
