RESUMO
To describe children symptoms before and after an indoor fungal problem was publicized. Children attending one of two elementary schools (one with indoor fungal problems and one without) were included in this study. The study included an analysis of symptoms reported by the nurses before and after the indoor fungal problem was publicized and a questionnaire responded to by the parents. Several symptoms related to exposure to mold were found to be statistically significant in the school with an indoor fungal problem before the problem was detected: the symptoms included coughing/wheezing, headaches and joint pains. After the problem was publicized the perception of symptoms increased.

The carpal tunnel syndrome was encountered in 2,727 patients, in 71% of them it was bilateral. Operations were conducted on 865 (18.6%) of the 4,663 affected hands. Operations for incision of the flexor retinaculum were conducted under local anesthesia, usually at out-patient hospitals. Additional interventions were performed in some patients: freeing the muscular branch of a nerve, resection of the edges of the flexor retinaculum, freeing the nerve from adhesions, endoneurolysis, resection of the tendon sheaths. Analysis of the results showed that manipulations on the nerve trunk are rarely indicated, while resection of the tendon sheaths is not justified. The working capacity was restored in 89.5% of patients in 25-45 days and in 7.4% - in the first 6 months. Early and late recurrences were observed in 3.1% of patients and called for a second operation.
