ABSTRACT
This article presents a critical analysis of the relationship between work and subjectivity, based on reflections regarding experiences of dealing with the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) epidemic in the Unified Health System (SUS) in Sao Paulo, Brazil. In order to do so, context is first provided regarding Brazilian policy and the SUS, drawing attention to different modes of health policy formulation. The ways in which the challenges of the pandemic were dealt with in the SUS are then presented, through an examination of material from panel discussions held with healthcare workers - which are publicly available on Youtube - regarding what they have lived through during the pandemic and the political conflicts they have encountered, as well as their lived experiences with the primary level of care, with mental health, and with social movements. This material is analyzed vis-à-vis conceptual elements that seek to expand upon notions of healthcare work, policies and practices in health care, and subjectification processes, shedding light on lessons that have emerged and on future challenges.
Este artículo busca problematizar la relación trabajo y subjetividad a partir de una reflexión sobre experiencias y modos de enfrentar la epidemia de SARS-Cov 2 (COVID-19) en el Sistema Único de Salud (SUS) de San Pablo, Brasil. Para eso se realiza una contextualización de la política brasileña y del SUS, rescatando los modos de hacer política en salud. Luego, se presentan los modos de enfrentar la pandemia en el SUS sobre la base de diversas rondas de conversaciones con las y los trabajadores de la salud acerca de lo vivido en la pandemia y su enfrentamiento político, sobre vivencias en el primer nivel de atención, en salud mental, y con los movimientos sociales, cuyo registro está disponible en Youtube. Sobre estos registros, se analizan elementos conceptuales que procuran ampliar las nociones en torno al trabajo en salud, las políticas, las prácticas en salud y los procesos de subjetivación, destacando aprendizajes y retos hacia el futuro.

AIM: To conduct a systematic review of the literature on biosafety with the use of lasers. METHODS: The systematic review of literature was performed using MEDLINE (PubMed), Science Direct and Web of Science databases. The electronic search strategy included terms in the Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) related to biosafety in dentistry and laser, forms of contamination with aerosols, as well as their synonyms. The selected keywords were "aerosol virus transmission dentistry," "laser-generated air contaminants," "biosafety dentistry laser" combined with the terms AND/OR. RESULTS: A total of 1334 abstracts were reviewed, resulting in inclusion of 23 reviews. The dental surgeons are professionals with a high risk of contamination; high-power lasers form aerosols that need to be controlled and low-power lasers must be protected to minimize the risks of cross-infection. CONCLUSION: The biosafety of using lasers is important for professionals can be more oriented as to the correct use of this equipment. This study has the relevance of showing biosafety measures for the professional, staff and patients, as well as suggesting that more studies that are clinical should be conducted in this area.
