ABSTRACT
RESUMO: Objetivo: Descrever os principais resultados dos fatores de risco e proteção de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT), nas capitais brasileiras e no Distrito Federal, coletados pela Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS) e pelo Sistema de Vigilância de Fatores de Risco e Proteção para Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis por Inquérito Telefônico (Vigitel) no ano de 2013. Métodos Análise de dados advindos da PNS e do Vigitel, pesquisas realizadas no ano de 2013. Foram analisados indicadores sobre tabagismo, consumo de álcool, alimentação e atividade física, segundo sexo, com intervalo de confiança de 95% (IC95%). Resultados: As prevalências encontradas foram: fumantes atuais de cigarro - PNS 12,5% e Vigitel 11,3%; consumo abusivo de bebida alcoólica - PNS 14,9% e Vigitel 16,4%; consumo recomendado de frutas e hortaliças - PNS 41,8% e Vigitel 23,6%; prática de atividade física no tempo livre - PNS 26,6% e Vigitel 33,8%. Conclusão: Os resultados dos indicadores foram semelhantes, em especial quando as perguntas e opções de resposta também eram. As pesquisas são úteis para o monitoramento dos fatores de risco e proteção das DCNT, podendo apoiar programas de promoção da saúde.
ABSTRACT: Objective: To describe risk and protective factors for chronic diseases, in Brazilian capitals and the Federal District, collected by the National Health Survey (PNS) and by the Surveillance System for Protective and Risk Factors for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Survey (Vigitel) in 2013. Methods: Data analysis of the studies conducted by the PNS and Vigitel in 2013 was performed. Indicators analyzed were: smoking, alcohol consumption, diet, and physical activity, according to sex, with a 95% confidence interval. Results: The prevalences found were: current cigarette smokers: PNS, 12.5% and Vigitel, 11.3%; abuse of alcoholic beverages: PNS, 14.9% and Vigitel, 16.4%; recommended intake of fruits and vegetables: PNS, 41.8% and Vigitel, 23.6%; and physical activity in leisure time: PNS, 26.6% and Vigitel, 35.8%. Conclusion: In the majority of indicators, the results were similar, especially when the questions and response options were equal. Surveys are useful for the monitoring of risk and protective factors of noncommunicable diseases and can support health promotion programs.

The presented pilot study compared the effectiveness of combined antibiotic ophthalmic solution (neomycin sulfate, polymyxin B sulfate and gramicidin) with a placebo (artificial tear) in the treatment of hordeolum after incision and curettage (I&C). A randomized, placebo-controlled trial with patients and investigators blinded from the start started from June 2002 to May 2003. Subjects were patients with untreated hordeolum who subsequently underwent I&C at the Ophthalmology Department. The patients were randomized into 2 groups: group A for combined antibiotic ophthalmic solution, and group B for artificial tear containing the antibiotic solution base. Pain score, mass size and duration of cure were recorded before and on the 3rd and 7th day after treatment. The study included 14 patients in each group. Two subjects in group A and three subjects in group B dropped out. There were no statistically significant differences of all outcomes in both groups, even with the intention-to-treat analysis. The conclusion is combined antibiotic ophthalmic solution is not more effective than placebo in the treatment of hordeolum after I&C.
