O Planeamento na Assomada : Proposta de Parâmetros Urbanísticos para a Construção da Qualidade no Ambiente do Território Urbano em Cabo Verde, Assomada – Santa Catarina como Caso de Estudo

Os dados recentes, mostram que a tendência do crescimento no arquipélago, está direcionada para centros urbanos, como decorre da nova lei das cidades1. Para construção da qualidade do ambiente no território, indubitavelmente, deve optar pelo planeamento, incluindo medidas concretas que definem áreas para espaços verdes de utilização coletiva. Deve insistentemente procurar linhas estratégicas que garantem os citadinos acesso aos bens essenciais e primários: este por si só justificaria a dissertação. O Resultado de ocupação verificado com uma sobre-exploração do solo, esquecendo espaços verdes de utilização coletiva/equipamentos de lazer, deu origem a uma situação preocupante, impõe que se planeia um novo centro urbano, pensando nas medidas de recuperação ambiental, reintrodução dos espaços verdes coletivos, que são hoje muito insuficiente para a estabilidade e integração social dos Somadenses. Assim a investigação visa propor um modelo de organização territorial, põe um conjunto de parâmetros e dimensionamento urbano que protege, valorize e conserve o ambiente no território em Assomada.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease in hemodialysis patients in southern Brazil

Introduction: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is the most common hereditary renal disease in humans. Objective: To examine the prevalence, clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with polycystic kidneys and relate disease manifestations by gender. Methods: This was an observational and retrospective study. All the medical records of patients with polycystic kidneys who initiated hemodialysis between 1995 and 2012, in four centers that treat patients of the coverage area of the 15th regional health Paraná (Brazil), were analyzed. Results: The study included 48 patients with polycystic kidneys, the primary cause of stage 5 CKD. Disease prevalence was one in 10,912 people. The average age of dialysis initiation was 50.7 years and the follow-up time on dialysis until transplantation (36.5 months) was lower among men. Hypertension was the most frequent diagnosis in 73% of patients, predominantly in women (51.4%). The liver cyst was the most frequent extrarenal manifestations in men (60.0%). The death occurred in 10.4% of patients using hemodialysis, and 60% of men. The class of antihypertensive drug used was that acts on the renin-angiotensin system with higher frequency of use among women (53.3%). The post-dialysis urea was significantly higher in men. Conclusion: The prevalence of the disease is low among hemodialysis patients in southern Brazil. The differences observed between genders, with the exception of the post-dialysis urea, were not significant. The findings are different from those reported in North America and Europe.
