ABSTRACT
Purpose: To evaluate the morphometric, macroscopic and microscopic aspects of experimentally induced partial-thickness burns in rats treated with different silver-based dressings. Methods: Wistar rats were used, divided into six treatments: saline (NaCl 0.9%); silver sulfadiazine 1%; Silvercel; Mepilex Ag; Aquacel Ag and Acticoat. The animals were monitored daily and euthanized at 7, 14 and 30 days after injury induction (DAI). Results: At 7 DAI, necrosis/crust was greater in control, silver sulfadiazine and Mepilex Ag treatments, granulation tissue was induced by Aquacel Ag, polymorphonuclear infiltrate (PMN) infiltration was intensified by Mepilex Ag; mononuclear infiltrate (MN) infiltration and angiogenesis were increased by Silvercel. At 14 DAI, hemorrhage was decreased by Silvercel and Mepilex Ag, PMN infiltration increased by Acticoat. At 30 DAI, angiogenesis was greater in the Acticoat treatment and fibroblasts were increased by Acticoat and Mepilex Ag. Collagen was induced at 14 DAI by silver sulfadiazine and Aquacel Ag and, at 30 DAI, by silver sulfadiazine and Silvercel treatments. Conclusions: Silvercel and Acticoat presented better results than the other products. However, all the dressings were better than the control at some point during the process, and may contribute to the healing of partial thickness burns. Silvercel and Aquacel Ag treatments induced better cosmetic outcomes regarding wound closure and scarring.

Objetivo: analisar a tendência das taxas de internação por condições cardiovasculares sensíveis à atenção primária à saúde (CCSAP). Métodos: estudo ecológico das séries temporais das taxas de internação por CCSAP pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) no município de Senador Canedo, GO, em 2001-2016; utilizaram-se dados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares e estimativas populacionais da Rede Interagencial de Informações para a Saúde (RIPSA) e da Fundação IBGE; utilizou-se o método de Prais-Winsten para análise de tendência. Resultados: utilizaram-se dados de 3.244 internações por CCSAP; verificou-se tendência temporal decrescente para a taxa de internações por CCSAP (taxa de incremento anual [TIA] = -8,14 - IC95% -11,78;-4,35) e a taxa de insuficiência cardíaca (TIA = -12,07 - IC95% -14,75;-9,30); as tendências temporais das taxas de internações por hipertensão, angina e doenças cerebrovasculares foram estacionárias. Conclusão: as taxas de internação por CCSAP e insuficiência cardíaca diminuíram; entretanto as taxas por hipertensão, angina e doenças cerebrovasculares permaneceram constantes.

Conclusión: las tasas de internación por CCSAP e insuficiencia cardíaca disminuyeron; sin embargo, las tasas por hipertensión, angina y enfermedades cerebrovasculares permanecieron constantes.
Objective: to analyze trends of hospitalization for ambulatory care-sensitive cardiovascular conditions (ACSCC). Methods: this was an ecological study of time series of rates of hospitalization for ACSCC in the municipality of Senador Canedo, GO, Brazil, 2001-2016; we used data from the Hospital Information System and population estimates provided by the Inter-Agency Health Information Network (RIPSA) and the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE); the Prais-Winsten method was used to analyze trends. Results: we used data on 3,244 hospitalizations for ACSCC; there was decreasing trend in the rate of hospitalizations for ACSCC (annual increase rate [AIR] = -8.14 - 95%CI -11.78;-4.35) and in the heart failure rate (AIR = -12.07 - 95%CI -14.75;-9.30); hospitalization rate time trends for hypertension, angina and cerebrovascular diseases were stationary. Conclusion: rates of hospitalization for ACSCC and heart failure decreased, however rates for hypertension, angina and cerebrovascular diseases remained constant.
