A infertilidade em casais frequentemente é multifatorial. Dentre elas alterações tubárias respondem por até 20% dessa causalidade, sendo a histerossalpingografia o exame de escolha para verificarem alterações em sua anatomia, orientando desde a opção por tratamentos mais conservadores até mesmo a salpingectomia com posterior fertilização in vitro. O relato de caso em questão trata de uma mulher que já se encontrava em tratamento para fertilidade há 3 anos e, antes da cirurgia definitiva, optou por buscar o tratamento homeopático como alternativa. Após repertorização chegou-se ao medicamento Sycotic co, um nosódio preparado com Entercococcus faecalis, agente que é um dos principais responsáveis por doenças inflamatórias pélvicas que, por sua vez, encontram-se na etiologia das salpingites. Após trinta dias de utilização a paciente consegue engravidar, demonstrando possivelmente que o organismo recuperou sua capacidade autopoiética (regenerativa) frente ao estímulo ocasionado pela medicação homeopática, embasando novos ensaios capazes de trazer maiores evidências da utilização da homeopatia como possibilidade no tratamento adjuvante da infertilidade.

Infertility in couples is often multifactorial. Tubal disorders account for up to 20% of causes, and hysterosalpingography is the test of choice to investigate anatomical changes, which orient the option for more conservative treatments or salpingectomy with subsequent in vitro fertilization. The present case report concerns a woman under fertility treatment for 3 years, but choose to seek homeopathic treatment before final surgery. Repertory analysis led to the selection of Sycotic co, a nosode prepared from Enterococcus faecalis, which is one of the main responsible pathogens associated with pelvic inflammatory disease, which is one of the causes of salpingitis. After 30 days of treatment, the patient became pregnant, which possibly shows that her body had regained its autopoietic (regenerative) ability against the stimulus represented by homeopathic medication. These findings support the need to perform new studies to gather further evidence of the use of homeopathy as possible adjuvant treatment for infertility. (AU)

Introduction The presence of noise in our society has attracted the attention of health professionals, including speech-language pathologists, who have been charged along with educators with developing hearing conservation programs in schools. Objective To describe the results of three strategies for awareness and hearing preservation in first to fourth grades in public elementary schools. Methods The level of environmental noise in classrooms was assessed, and 638 elementary school students from first to fourth grades, 5 to 10 years of age, were audiologically evaluated. After the evaluations, educational activities were presented to children and educators. Results The noise level in the classroom ranged from 71.8 to 94.8 A-weighted decibels. The environment of the classroom was found to promote sound reverberation, which hinders communication. Thirty-two students (5.1%) presented hearing alterations. Conclusion The application of strategies for a hearing conservation program at the school showed that noise is present in the room, and hearing loss, sometimes silent, affects schoolchildren. Students and teachers were aware that hearing problems can be prevented. Avoiding exposure to noise and improving the acoustics in classrooms are essential. .
