The present study aimed to estimate the prevalence of elderly using potentially inappropriate medications (PIM) and with occurrence of potentially hazardous drug interactions (PHDI), to identify the risk factors for the prescription of PIM and to evaluate the impact of pharmaceutical intervention (PI) for the prescription of safer therapeutic alternatives. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was performed in a long-term care facility in São Paulo State, between December/2010 and January/2011. The medical records of the patients >= 60 years old who took any drugs were consulted to assess the pharmacotherapeutic safety of the medical prescriptions, in order to identify PIM and PHDI, according to the Beers (2003) and World Health Organization criteria, respectively. PI consisted of a guidance letter to the physician responsible for the institution, with the suggestions of safer equivalent therapeutics. Approximately 88% of the elderly took at least one drug, and for 30% of them the PIM had been prescribed. Most of the PIM identified (53.4%) act on the central nervous system. Among the 13 different DI detected, 6 are considered PHDI. Polypharmacy was detected as a risk factor for PIM prescription. After the PI there was no change in medical prescriptions of patients who had been prescribed PIM or PHDI. The data suggests that PI performed by letter, as the only interventional, method was ineffective. To contribute it a wide dissemination of PIM and PHDI among prescriber professionals is necessary for the selection of safer treatment for elderly. Additionally, a pharmacist should be part of the health care team in order to help promote rational use of medicines.

Background: Rapid demographic ageing will soon lead to large increases in the numbers of persons with dementia in developing countries. This study is the first comprehensive assessment of care arrangements for people with dementia in those regions. Methods: A descriptive and comparative study of dementia care; caregiver characteristics, the nature of care provided, and the practical, psychological (Zarit Burden Interview, General Health Questionnaire) and economic impact upon the caregiver in 24 centres in India, China and South East Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean and Africa. Results: We interviewed 706 persons with dementia, and their caregivers. Most caregivers were women, living with the person with dementia in extended family households. One-quarter to one-half of households included a child. Larger households were associated with lower caregiver strain, where the caregiver was co-resident. However, despite the traditional apparatus of family care, levels of caregiver strain were at least as high as in the developed world. Many had cutback on work to care and faced the additional expense of paid carers and health services. Families from the poorest countries were particularly likely to have used expensive private medical services, and to be spending more than 10% of the per capita GNP on health care. Conclusions: Older people in developing countries are indivisible from their younger family members. The high levels of family strain identified in this study feed into the cycle of disadvantage and should thus be a concern for policymakers in the developing world.

Hospital Dentistry can be understood by the care of the oral abnormalities that require intervention of multidisciplinary team for highly complex treatment. Dentistry integrated into the hospital, allows a better performance in the commitment to patient care and also expanded oral health care to the population. However, even among dentists, opinions differ on the subject. The participation of the dentist in an outpatient or in hospital, aims to collaborate, deliver and add more strength to what characterizes the new identity of the hospital. The aim of this study was to review the literature about the importance of ministering concepts of Hospital Dentistry for the exercise of this profession and how the situation is nowadays.

Cerebral paralysis is a chronic illness that affects the central nervous system. In this article the author describes the techniques used at CAOE (Odontological Center for Assistance to patients with special needs) to restraint CP patients during dental treatment, because they present some pathological reflexes which interfere in their odontological assistance. Also it shows how to perform a special physical restraint and how to keep the mouth open by using simple tools including a homemade one. All the devices used during the dental treatment in cerebral palsy patients, such as the physical restraint with bands or sheet to wrap them up, cylindrical pad or cushion made of a soft material, or simple tools including a homemade one to keep the mouth open are usually and safely used in CAOE. All these simple devices are necessary, because there are no available funds for the acquisition of expensive material or equipment. Despite of a shortage of resources we can easily and efficiently assist these patients.

Pesquisa qualitativa orientada pelos referenciais teórico-metodológicos: Interacionismo Simbólico e Grounded Theory para compreender o processo planejamento-implementação da Sistematização da Assistência de Enfermagem (SAE), segundo dois grupos amostrais: enfermeiros e auxiliares/técnicos de enfermagem de um hospital universitário, e desenvolver uma síntese dos modelos teóricos representativos dessas experiências. A saturação teórica configurou-se mediante a análise da 24ª entrevista não diretiva de 12 enfermeiros e de 12 técnicos de enfermagem, lotados em unidades de internação. da análise emergiram dois modelos teóricos, cuja síntese originou o terceiro, intitulado Entre o êxito e a frustração com a operacionalização da SAE: recursos humanos como componente determinante para a visibilidade do enfermeiro no processo de trabalho. Este modelo desvela o déficit de recursos humanos, impulsionando o enfermeiro a realizar uma SAE ilusória, e perpetuando um processo cíclico de sofrimento, por vivenciar a invisibilidade de sua práxis no processo de trabalho.

This study investigated the level of knowledge held by dentists about the possible treatment plan procedures for periodontal ligament injuries after dentoalveolar trauma. A 5-item self-applied questionnaire was prepared with questions referring to the professional profile of the interviewees and to the treatment plan they would propose for periodontal ligament injuries secondary to dentoalveolar trauma. The questionnaires were filled out by 693 dentists attending the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Brazilian Society for Dental Research, and the data obtained were subjected to descriptive analysis. Either the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test was applied to assess associations among variables, at a 5% level of significance. The results revealed that dentists experienced difficulty in establishing a treatment plan for subluxation, and for extrusive, lateral and intrusive luxations. In general, holding a dental specialty degree had no influence on the knowledge about treatment plan procedures for the most severe injuries. It could be concluded that the dentists participating in this study, whether specialists or not, did not have sufficient knowledge to treat most of the periodontal ligament injuries resulting from dentoalveolar trauma adequately.

This study assessed the occurrence and characteristics of oral and maxillofacial infections in patients treated at a Brazilian oral and maxillofacial emergency service during a 7-year period. The clinical files of all patients treated at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology Service of the Aracatuba Dental School, São Paulo State University, Brazil, between 2002 and 2008 were reviewed. From a population of 3645 patients treated in this period, the study sample consisted of 93 subjects who presented odontogenic infections. Data referring to the patients' sex, age, medical history, and the etiology, diagnosis, complications, drug therapy/treatment, and evolution of the pathologic diseases were collected and analyzed using the Epi Info 2000 software. of these patients, 54 were men (58.1%) and 39 were women (41.9%). Most patients were in the 31- to 40-year-old (20.7%) and 21- to 30-year-old (19.6%) age groups. The most frequent etiology was pulp necrosis due to caries (80.6%). Regarding the treatment, antibiotics were administered to all patients, surgical drainage was done in 75 patients (82.4%), and 44 patients (47.3%) needed hospital admission. First-generation cephalosporin alone or combined with other drugs was the most prescribed antibiotic (n = 26) followed by penicillin G (n = 25). Most patients (n = 85, 91.4%) responded well to the treatment. Five cases had complications: 3 patients needed hospital readmission, 1 case progressed to descending mediastinitis, and 1 patient died. Odontogenic infections can be life-threatening and require hospital admission for adequate patient care. Complications from odontogenic infections, although rare, may be fatal if not properly managed.

O objetivo do estudo é descrever os significados atribuídos por profissionais de saúde à sua experiência de cuidar de pessoas com HIV/AIDS. Os dados foram coletados em entrevistas com 10 profissionais da saúde, em diferentes instituições paulistas. Três temas emergiram da análise dos dados: (a) o cenário da assistência ao paciente com HIV/AIDS; (b) relacionamento com o paciente; (c) aspectos éticos nesse cuidado. A despeito dos reconhecidos avanços na assistência a esse paciente, os achados revelam a persistência de comportamentos discriminatórios, relacionados a sentimentos de insegurança e medo do contágio, entre os profissionais nos serviços e hospitais gerais. O preparo específico para atender os pacientes estaria mais voltado aos profissionais dos centros especializados para a assistência ao HIV/AIDS, resultando em dificuldades na integração da assistência a esses pacientes nos demais serviços do SUS. Esses dados remetem aos aspectos da formação profissional na área da saúde como um todo, levando à reflexão sobre as competências que se espera dos profissionais da saúde em cuidar e relacionar-se com pessoas com HIV/AIDS, assim como sobre o impacto dessa realidade na prevenção da doença.

Num primeiro momento a criança se apropria do conhecimento por mediações externas, nas quais um objeto externo a ela, que pode ser um adulto, faz uma mediação entre ela e o conteúdo a ser adquirido. Assim, a hospitalização pode tornar-se um fator de risco no desenvolvimento psicológico da criança, tanto no âmbito cognitivo quanto no afetivo, caso suas potencialidades não sejam mediadas pela equipe de saúde, pois esta tem grande contato com a criança durante a internação. Foi investigado, como objetivo do estudo, o conhecimento do processo de desenvolvimento infantil por parte dos profissionais da saúde envolvidos no cuidado com crianças hospitalizadas, em um hospital-escola público do Estado de São Paulo. Participaram da pesquisa onze profissionais, entre técnicas e auxiliares de enfermagem, e os resultados indicam que estas consideram importantes alguns aspectos no cuidado com a criança, tais como estimulação da linguagem, atenção, brincadeira, vinculação, contato físico, porém não reconhecem estes aspectos como importantes para o desenvolvimento, e elegem profissionais específicos para tratarem de aspectos relacionados ao desenvolvimento infantil na internação, não se percebendo como mediadoras no processo de desenvolvimento psicossocial da criança hospitalizada.

O presente estudo visa a analisar sentidos pessoais e significações sociais das atividades de atenção em saúde mental desenvolvidas por profissionais integrantes de uma equipe de saúde da família. Parte-se, para tal, da perspectiva teórica da psicologia histórico-cultural de Vigotsky (1896-1934). O trabalho é parte de uma pesquisa participante e, portanto, é contextualizado na etapa de inserção no campo. Observou-se que a equipe considera relevante a determinação das condições de vida no processo saúde-doença da população atendida, a necessidade de lançar mão de estratégias diversificadas no cuidado para além da consulta, a importância de se cuidar da saúde mental da própria equipe, bem como dificuldades na abordagem da família. Indica-se a importância, para o trabalho cotidiano das equipes, das possibilidades de superação da exclusividade do núcleo biomédico na determinação do processo saúde-doença apontadas nos princípios operacionais da Estratégia de Saúde da Família, expressas na utilização do acolhimento como recurso de cuidado, a constituição de vínculos e responsabilização e a continuidade da atenção.
