ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Cystadenoma is an uncommon epithelial neoplasia that arises from the salivary glands. The malignancy can affect structures such as the larynx, nasopharynx, buccal mucosa, and palate. OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of a giant cystadenoma of the floor of the mouth treated at a public hospital in midwestern Brazil. CASE REPORT: The patient was a 46-year-old woman with complaints of difficulties in articulating words and swallowing solid food and vocal fatigue. The progression of the disease since the initial consultation, the results of clinical examinations, and the outcome of surgery are described. FINALS COMMENTS: Cystadenoma must be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic injuries in the floor of the mouth if the patient's symptoms are suggestive of this malignancy.

ABSTRACT

The frequency of parasitic contamination of public areas in the municipality of Pelotas, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, was studied between June 2010 and May 2011, when soil samples were collected from eight city squares. Out of 400 samples submitted to centrifugal floatation technique in solution of sodium dichromate with density of 1.35, 176 (44%) proved positive for at least one parasite; 29 (16.5%) samples were multi-infested. The results showed that there was a significant soil contamination rate in all the parks included in the study. The positivity rate was higher for hookworms eggs (13.5%) and Toxocara eggs (8.8%); Trichuris, Ascaris and Capillaria eggs were also detected. This study shows the risks to which the population is exposed in relation to zoonotic geohelminths, and suggests that sanitation and health education measures should be implemented in the municipality.


A frequência de contaminação parasitária de áreas públicas de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, foi avaliada entre junho de 2010 e maio de 2011, com coletas mensais de amostras de solo de oito praças. Das 400 amostras submetidas à técnica de centrífugo-flutuação em solução de dicromato de sódio com densidade de 1,35, 176 (44%) apresentaram pelo menos uma forma parasitária e, das amostras positivas, 29 (16,5%) estavam poliparasitadas. Os resultados demonstraram relevante índice de contaminação do solo em todas as praças avaliadas, com maiores índices de positividade para ovos de ancilostomídeos (13,5%) e ovos de Toxocara (8,8%), sendo também identificados ovos de Trichuris, Ascaris e Capillaria. O estudo demonstrou a contaminação ambiental de praças públicas e os riscos a que a população está exposta em relação a doenças causadas por geoparasitos zoonóticos e sugere que medidas de saneamento e educação em saúde devem ser implementadas no município.

ABSTRACT

A candidíase vulvovaginal (CVV) é patologia extremamente frequente, atingindo 75% das mulheres em alguma fase da vida. Cerca de 5% delas terão candidíase vulvovaginal recorrente (CVVR), definida como quatro ou mais episódios a cada 12 meses. Apesar de existirem fatores de risco conhecidos, a maioria dos episódios ocorre na sua ausência. Com base na apresentação clínica, microbiologia e fatores do hospedeiro, ela é classificada em complicada e não-complicada. Um espectro de sintomas comuns a outras patologias, e a ausência de métodos rápidos, simples e baratos de diagnóstico, tornam seu manejo um desafio, mesmo para os mais experientes. O exame padrão-ouro para confirmar a infecção é cultura em meio específico. O presente estudo tem por objetivo revisar os métodos diagnósticos da CVV e descrever o manejo da CVVR.


Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is an extremely frequent pathology, affecting 75% of women in some phase of life. About 5% of them will have recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC), defined as four or more episodes every 12 months. In spite of known risk factors, most of the episodes happen in its absence. Based on the clinical presentation microbiology and factors of the host, it is classified in complicated and non-complicated. A spectrum of symptoms common to other pathologies, and the absence of fast, simple and inexpensive methods of diagnosis, turns it into a challenge even for experts. The gold standard exam to confirm the infection is a culture in specific medium. The present study has the objective of revising the diagnosis methods of VVC and to describe the management of RVVC.
