ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Descrever o perfil epidemiológico e o percentual de cura da tuberculose (TB) na população indígena no Estado do Paraná. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico retrospectivo realizado a partir de 36.889 casos de tuberculose obtidos por meio do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação do Estado do Paraná, no período de 2001 a 2012. Foram selecionadas variáveis clínicas contemplando dados da população indígena notificada com tuberculose no Estado do Paraná, forma clínica da tuberculose, situação de encerramento e variáveis sociodemográficas (sexo, idade, escolaridade e zona de domicílio). Utilizou-se análise exploratória das variáveis por meio da distribuição de frequência absoluta e relativas. Resultados: Considerando a população total do estudo, 174 eram indígenas com predomínio de tuberculose na forma pulmonar (85%), apresentando coeficiente de incidência elevado principalmente no sexo masculino (58,6%), em residentes na zona rural (67,2%), sendo que, 72,4% obtiveram a cura. A faixa etária com idade entre 31-40 anos (20,1%) apresentou o maior número de casos notificados. Conclusão: A população que se declarou indígena apresentou características sociodemográficas similares à população geral com tuberculose, entretanto, evidenciou-se vulnerabilidade na população declarada indígena para incidência e cura da doença.

Objective: To describe the epidemiological profile and cure rate of tuberculosis (TB) in the indigenous population in the state of Paraná. Methodology: This is a retrospective epidemiological study based on 36.889 cases of tuberculosis obtained through the Paraná Notification of Injury Information System from 2001 to 2012. Clinical variables were selected contemplating data from the indigenous population reported with tuberculosis in the State of Paraná, clinical form of tuberculosis, closure and sociodemographic variables (sex, age, schooling and domicile area. An exploratory analysis of the data was used through the absolute and relative frequency distribution. Results: Considering the total population of the study, 174 were indigenous with a predominance of tuberculosis in the pulmonary form (85%), with a high incidence rate, mainly in males (58,6%), in rural residents (67,2%), being that 72,4% obtained a cure. The age group between 31-40 years (20,1%) had the highest number of reported cases. Conclusion: The population that declared themselves indigenous had sociodemographic characteristics similar to the general population with tuberculosis. However, it showed a vulnerability in the population declared indigenous for incidence and cure of the disease. (AU)

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) are at risk for critical events leading to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission. Coagulopathy in cirrhotic patients is complex and can lead to bleeding as well as thrombosis. The aim of this study was to investigate bleeding complications in critically ill patients with LC admitted to a medical ICU (MICU). METHODS: All adult patients admitted to our MICU with a diagnosis of LC from January 2006 to December 2012 were retrospectively assessed. Patients with major bleeding at the time of MICU admission were excluded from the analysis. RESULTS: A total of 205 patients were included in the analysis. The median patient age was 62 years, and 69.3% of the patients were male. The most common reason for MICU admission was acute respiratory failure (45.4%), followed by sepsis (27.3%). Major bleeding occurred in 25 patients (12.2%). The gastrointestinal tract was the most common site of bleeding (64%), followed by the respiratory tract (20%). In a multivariate analysis, a low platelet count at MICU admission (odds ratio [OR], 0.98; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.97 to 0.99) and sepsis (OR, 8.35; 95% CI, 1.04 to 67.05) were independent risk factors for major bleeding. The ICU fatality rate was significantly greater among patients with major bleeding (84.0% vs. 58.9%, respectively; p = 0.015). CONCLUSIONS: Major bleeding occurred in 12.2% of critically ill cirrhotic patients admitted to the MICU. A low platelet count at MICU admission and sepsis were associated with an increased risk of major bleeding during the MICU stay. Further study is needed to better understand hemostasis in critically ill patients with LC.

ABSTRACT

"Mal da ronca", "ronca", "roncadeira", "mal do roncado" ou "mal da ronqueira" é uma enfermidade de caráter crônico caracterizada por ruído respiratório audível à distância, que afeta bovinos azebuados, machos e fêmeas, com mais de 18 meses de idade. Os animais afetados vieram de regiões com concentração de água de chuva no terreno, onde o gado se alimentou e bebeu dessa água. Alguns bovinos apresentaram deformação na região nasal, mais precisamente no chanfro. Devido à dificuldade de oxigenação e conseqüentemente incapacidade de locomoção e alimentação, evidenciou-se emagrecimento progressivo, culminando, em alguns casos, com morte. Foram avaliados os níveis séricos de cálcio, fósforo, magnésio, cloro e cobre em grupo sadio e doente, vindos da mesma região. Os animais doentes não demonstraram deficiência sérica dos elementos mensurados; entretanto, a diferença significativa observada entre os animais sadios e doentes sugeriu desequilíbrio mineral.

ABSTRACT

Se describe el contenido y la fuente de los datos, así como los formularios, tablas de vaciamiento y otros documentos relacionados con la información sobre los resultados de las pruebas serológicas de virus respiratorios. Se señala su flujo. Se detaca que la utilización de tales procedimientos ha mejorado las posibilidades del análisis de la situación epidemiológica de las enfermedades respiratorias agudas (ERA). Se indica que esto puede servir de base para los sistemas automatizados de computación y para el trabajo de los Centros Provinciales de Higiene y Epidemiología
