Abstract:Nos últimos anos, inúmeros problemas surgiram na área da saúde em decorrência, sobretudo, dos avanços ocorridos no campo das biotecnociências. Percebendo-se a exigüidade de espaço, no atual currículo médico, para a discussão de muitas dessas questões, alunos e professores da Fundação Educacional Serra dos Órgãos (FESO) propuseram a criação do Núcleo de Estudos em Filosofia e Saúde (NEFISA), espaço destinado a fomentar o debate, o ensino e a pesquisa sobre os assuntos que tenham sua emergência na interface da F… Show more
“…Loxosceles); the patient may be unaware of the bite history. Furthermore, laboratory alterations vary from subclinical situations to conditions that evolve with substantial severity according to the venom's toxicity (Santana et al, 2020, Santana et al, 2020b.…”

“…Arachnidism, along with the other types of accidents involving venomous animals, is one of the main causes of morbid conditions related to toxins in Brazil (Freitas et al, 2006;Siqueira-Batista et al, 2020). According to data from the Brazilian Ministry of Health, from 2000 to 2017 392,638 accidents caused by spiders were reported nationwide (Brazil, 2019).…”
Arachnidism, spider envenomation, is an important public health issue in different parts of the world. Its clinical evolution depends on the genus involved. Symptoms and signs range from skin alterations to systemic manifestations. The success of treatment, consisting of serotherapy and other measures, depends on the patient’s immediate care. In addition to the potential injury to human hosts, spider venom has been investigated for the therapy of various diseases. Based on these considerations, this article, part 2 of 2, aims to present the main aspects of spider accidents, focusing on clinical findings, diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment, as well as highlighting the potential of the venom of these arachnids.
KEY WORDS: spiders; spider bites; spider venom.

“…These events can involve venomous, poisonous or traumatizing animals, resulting in significant consequences for different groups of people, especially fishing workers (Conceição, 2021). Understanding the nature of these accidents and identifying the main animals involved are fundamental to assessing their true impact on different populations and to implementing effective prevention measures (Brasil, 2001;Haddad Jr., 2016;Siqueira-Batista et al, 2020).…”
Fishing exposes workers to various occupational risks, including accidents caused by poisonous, venomous and traumatizing marine animals. With this in mind, the aim of this study is to present educational activities for people working in the fishing activities in the Região dos Lagos (Lakes Region) of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil, with a focus on accidents caused by marine animals (ACMA). The protocol was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the Universidade Federal de Viçosa (CAAE: 53959421.8.0000.5153). The activities were carried out in the municipalities of Armação dos Búzios, Arraial do Cabo and Cabo Frio and included a workshop on the subject, lasting an average of four hours, preceded (pre-test) and followed (post-test) by an assessment consisting of objective questions on the ACMA. A total of 47 workers (with an average working time of 15.2±12.8 years) took part in the activity. Each professional suffered an average of three ACMA. A comparison of the pre-test and post-test results showed a higher percentage of correct answers to almost all the questions. Further studies are needed to estimate the risks of ACMA among fishing workers and to improve educational actions to minimize the impact of these injuries on this population.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
