RESUMO

In Brazil, thalidomide is manufactured by a public laboratory, distributed by the Unified Health System (SUS), and regulated by the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa). Despite the concerns regarding the adverse effects of thalidomide, few drug utilization studies have been conducted to describe processes and outcomes related to this drug. The aim of this study was to elucidate the issues related to the utilization and control of thalidomide, and patient safety within the scope of SUS. In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated the articulation between an outpatient dermatology service of a referral hospital in infectology, the manufacturer, and Anvisa. Four data sources were used: i) interviews with health professionals; ii) data from the Customer Service of the manufacturer, iii) data on adverse events reported to Anvisa, and iv) adverse events identified in outpatient service. Most health professionals interviewed knew the major thalidomide-related adverse effects. None of them ever reported adverse events to Anvisa or contacted the Customer Service. For over three years, there were 330 calls concerning thalidomide at Customer Service, 7% of which were related to adverse events. During a period of six years, Anvisa was notified of only 15 adverse events. Health professionals were aware of the adverse events associated with thalidomide, but not the necessity to report them. The low number of notifications recorded by Anvisa and the information obtained from Customer Service show that pharmacovigilance remains incipient. A pharmacovigilance system that integrates all the services associated with thalidomide is required to strengthen this activity within the SUS to improve patient safety.

RESUMO

Introducción: Cada año se incrementan los volúmenes de medicamentos utilizados, ocasionando una acumulación en los hogares de pacientes y clientes, que luego son desechados de manera inadecuada, convirtiéndose en un riesgo para el ambiente y la salud pública. Se han encontrado residuos en pequeñas cantidades de productos farmacéuticos en medios acuáticos y suelos, los cuales se acumulan en tejidos de seres vivos y producen efectos tóxicos que promueven enfermedades. Objetivo: Realizar una revisión sistemática de estudios basados en encuestas de hogares sobre la disposición de medicamentos en el hogar, así como del conocimiento sobre el daño potencial al ambiente, con un aporte para la reducción o remediación del problema. Método: Fueron revisados 442 estudios que investigaron la disposición de medicamentos vencidos, dañados o sin uso, por pacientes o consumidores en sus casas. Se utilizó la metodología de Campbell Collaboration con búsquedas en bases de datos y mediante palabras claves, se identificaron 47 publicaciones que por un proceso de inclusión y exclusión, fueron seleccionados 20 trabajos que contienen un análisis estadístico de resultados de encuestas en hogares. Resultados: Se presentan resultados de encuestas a 8 267 hogares, donde en promedio el 87,7 % mantienen medicamentos en sus casas, siendo el 57,4 % sin uso o vencidos, y 74,6 % son dispuestos inadecuadamente. Conclusiones: Existe un desconocimiento del impacto ambiental de la disposición inapropiada de medicinas en el hogar, sin embargo, al tomar conciencia del peligro, hay interés de participar en programas para reducir el problema.

RESUMO

Introducción: la aeromicología estudia la variación temporal y espacial del contenido fúngico de la atmósfera, así como la influencia de los factores meteorológicos sobre dichas variaciones. En países tropicales como Cuba, la elevada temperatura y la humedad relativa favorecen el crecimiento de los hongos, así como la formación y liberación de sus esporas, las cuales pueden afectar la salud humana. Objetivo: destacar el impacto de los estudios aeromicológicos para la salud humana. Métodos: se realizó una revisión de la literatura científica sobre aspectos generales de la aeromicología, las principales especies fúngicas presentes en ambientes exteriores e interiores, su impacto en la salud humana y las medidas para disminuir el riesgo de afectación a la salud por dichos hongos. Resultados: se expone información actualizada y valiosa sobre la aeromicología, útil para la prevención de enfermedades ocasionadas por hongos presentes en el aire. Además se destacan los estudios realizados en Cuba hasta la actualidad. Conclusiones: la determinación ambiental de propágulos fúngicos así como sus variaciones estacionales es un parámetro relevante a evaluar dentro de la salud preventiva(AU)


Introduction: aeromycology studies the time and space variation of the air fungal content, as well as the influence of weather factors on these variations. In tropical countries like Cuba, high temperatures and relative humidity favor fungal growth and the formation and release of its spores, which can have an impact on human health. Objective: to highlight the impact of Aeromycology in the human health. Methods: Scientific literature addressing the general aspects of aeromycology, the main indoor and outdoor fungal species, their impact on human health and the actions aimed at decreasing the risk for human health was reviewed. Results: updated and valuable information on aeromycology was presented which can be used to prevent diseases caused by airborne fungi. Additionally, this review highlighted the studies conducted in Cuba up to the present. Conclusions: the environmental determination of fungal propagules and their seasonal variations is a relevant parameter to be evaluated in preventive health care systems(AU)

RESUMO

April 7 of each year marks the celebration of World Health Day. From its inception at the First Health Assembly in 1948 and since taking effect in 1950, the celebration has aimed to create awareness of a specific health theme to highlight a priority area of concern for the World Health Organization. This year, World Health Day focuses on urbanization and health, in recognition of the effect urbanization has on our collective health globally and for us all individually.
