Pesquisa quantitativa do tipo exploratório-descritivo, prospectivo, de caráter não experimental. O objetivo consistiu em conhecer as reações adversas imediatas ao contraste iodado intravenoso em pacientes internados, submetidos a tomografia computadorizada num hospital escola, sendo campo do estudo a Unidade de Tomografia do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre. A coleta de dados ocorreu através de planilha de registros preenchida pela equipe de enfermagem atuante na Unidade, durante as 24 horas de funcionamento do setor, no período entre outubro e dezembro de 2004, totalizando 351 pacientes observados. Os registros incluíram dados relativos à dinâmica do exame, características da clientela e ocorrência dos eventos em estudo. Para o tratamento dos dados, recorreu-se à estatística descritiva e descritiva, com emprego dos softwares SPSS, EPI INFO e PEPI. Os eventos adversos foram considerados imediatos quando ocorreram até 30 minutos após a injeção do contraste. Durante o período do estudo, todas as reações adversas apresentaram intensidade leve, manifestando-se com freqüência de 12,5% entre os 160 pacientes que receberam contraste iodado iônico e 1,0% entre os 191 pacientes que receberam contraste não iônico (p=0,000). O emprego do meio não iônico mostrou-se eficaz na prevenção de reações adversas ao contraste iodado, mesmo na presença de condições clínicas que aumentam o risco para ocorrência desses eventos. A administração intravenosa do contraste através de bomba injetora aumentou significativamente o percentual de reações adversas, em comparação com a injeção manual (p=0,013). O extravasamento de contraste, considerado um evento adverso local, ocorreu em 2,2% das 317 injeções em veia periférica, e os volumes extravasados oscilaram entre 1 e 15 mililitros, com média equivalente a 4,4 mililitros, não ocasionando complicações em nenhum dos casos. A administração intravenosa de contraste através de cateter plástico ocasionou freqüência significativamente menor de extravasamentos do que o emprego de agulha metálica (p=0,041). Os índices evidenciados no presente estudo encontram-se dentro dos limites que constam na revisão de literatura, apesar das pesquisas internacionais apresentarem diferenças entre si na seleção das amostras ou critérios para definição das reações adversas imediatas. Entre as recomendações, sugere-se que os serviços de tomografia conheçam as próprias taxas de reações adversas ao contraste iodado e as condições em que elas ocorrem, a fim de obter evidências para avaliação dos respectivos processos assistenciais.

O presente estudo insere-se no programa interdisciplinar “Evolução e diferenciação da agricultura, transformação do meio natural e desenvolvimento sustentável em espaços rurais do sul do Brasil”. Nele a área da saúde, aborda as interfaces entre a saúde pública e a antropologia sobre as desigualdades sociais no meio rural e prioriza os segmentos mais fragilizados da população. Tem como objetivo conhecer a situação nutricional e o contexto de vida do universo de crianças menores de cinco anos do meio rural de Arambaré/RS, através de um estudo epidemiológico do tipo seccional. Os dados referentes ao contexto de vida, foram coletados por intermédio de um formulário semi-estruturado e analisados via estatística descritiva no software Epi-info 6.04. A avaliação antropométrica foi realizada com base em índices antropométricos (Peso/Idade, Peso/Estatura, Estatura/Idade) expressos em escore Z, como população de referência a do NCHS e analisados através do programa EPINUT. Os resultados mostram que a pobreza rural é marcante no contexto estudado e a agricultura de subsistência pouco expressiva. Constatase a dificuldade de acesso da população rural aos serviços de saúde. No que se refere à alimentação, identifica-se à introdução alimentar precoce e a adoção de padrões/modelos alimentares tidos como urbanos; o aleitamento materno exclusivo é pouco praticado. Em relação à nutrição, os problemas de déficit confirmam uma realidade comum a contextos rurais, e o excesso de peso, pouco explorado nestes locais, tem prevalência um pouco acima do esperado para população considerada saudável. Algumas associações estatísticas são observadas entre o excesso de peso e a não realização do aleitamento materno; no caso da desnutrição crônica, esta teria relação com a baixa escolaridade materna e com o peso da criança ao nascer. Evidencia-se que a complexidade que envolve os problemas nutricionais dificulta a construção de modelos causais, baseados em fatores de risco pré-estabelecidos; há diferentes graus de vulnerabilidade ao adoecimento, modulados pelas lógicas internas e pelo protagonismo social, como é visto na distribuição dos problemas nutricionais dentro da heterogeneidade social presente no município. O estudo desvela a necessidade de se repensar a atenção social, econômica e de saúde para a população rural. Acredita-se que essas e outras informações produzidas por este estudo, poderão influenciar políticas públicas locais direcionadas às crianças e às suas família.

The Northeast of Brazil (NEB) shows high climate variability, ranging from semiarid regions to a rainy regions. According to the latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the NEB is highly susceptible to climate change, and also heavy rainfall events (HRE). However, few climatology studies about these episodes were performed, thus the objective main research is to compute the climatology and trend of the episodes number and the daily rainfall rate associated with HRE in the NEB and its climatologically homogeneous sub regions; relate them to the weak rainfall events and normal rainfall events. The daily rainfall data of the hydrometeorological network managed by the Agência Nacional de Águas, from 1972 to 2002. For selection of rainfall events used the technique of quantiles and the trend was identified using the Mann-Kendall test. The sub regions were obtained by cluster analysis, using as similarity measure the Euclidean distance and Ward agglomerative hierarchical method. The results show that the seasonality of the NEB is being intensified, i.e., the dry season is becoming drier and wet season getting wet. The El Niño and La Niña influence more on the amount of events regarding the intensity, but the sub-regions this influence is less noticeable. Using daily data reanalysis ERAInterim fields of anomalies of the composites of meteorological variables were calculated for the coast of the NEB, to characterize the synoptic environment. The Upper-level cyclonic vortex and the South atlantic convergene zone were identified as the main weather systems responsible for training of EPI on the coastland

O aborto provocado na adolescência como problema de saúde pública, é tema deste estudo que teve como objetivo identificar os motivos que levam adolescentes a provocar o aborto. A multidisciplinariedade do Programa de Pós Graduação em Ciências da Saúde, da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, proporcionou o convívio com vários pesquisadores, bem como contribuiu para a coorientação e o crescimento deste estudo e da Pesquisadora com aquisição de conhecimentos diversificados e inovadores. Estudo transversal, quantitativo, analítico, usou questionário semi-estruturado como instrumento que foi aplicado em dez escolas. Trabalhou-se com jovens do sexo feminino, dos 12 aos 19 anos de idade. A amostra representativa foi calculada considerando-se o número de internações por curetagens na cidade de Maceió em 2004. O Banco de Dados foi analisado pelo programa Epi Info versão 3.3.2. Foram usados os testes Quiquadrado, Odds Ratio, Risco Relativo e Regressão Logística. A amostra foi de 2592 jovens, numa distribuição normal, com idade média e mediana de 15 anos, desvio padrão de 1,7. A maioria das jovens era solteira (95,7%), não trabalhava (94,1%), residia com ambos os pais (66,2%) e conhecia algum método contraceptivo (95,5%). Do total das adolescentes estudadas, 52,4% estudava o nível educacional médio. Delas 21,6% tinham vida sexual ativa, 6,4% engravidaram e 5,7 % abortaram. A maioria (95,5%) afirmou conhecer algum método contraceptivo, destas 70,1% tinha mais de 15 anos e os métodos mais citados foram os de barreira/hormonal com 72,4%. Analisando o Risco Relativo observou-se que o risco era significativo e protetor para o começo da vida sexual antes dos 15 anos de idade. Apenas 32,4% delas citaram algum tipo de complicação o aborto. Foi significativa a relação entre a idade e as citações da morte, da esterilidade como a complicação do aborto. A maioria recebeu apoio para abortar (63,8%), amigas foram as que mais apoiaram (32,9%), sendo significativa a relação entre o apoio recebido para abortar e a pratica do ato. O motivo mais citado foi o medo da reação dos pais (57,7%), esteja este motivo apontado como único ou associado a outros. A análise de significância entre as variáveis dicotômicas, forneceu 8 variáveis significativas, 2 protetoras para o abortamento: idade de 12-14 anos e conversar com os pais sobre sexo. As demais variáveis: estado marital com companheiro, vida sexual ativa, gravidez anterior, uso de método contraceptivo, recebimento de apoio para abortar e necessidade de internamento pós-aborto, foram promotoras ao abortamento. Receber apoio para abortar foi a mais significativa para abortar, estado marital com companheiro foi fator de proteção para o ato. Conclui-se que o apoio para abortar foi a variável mais significativa deste estudo reforçando a importância do grupo na adolescência. Sugere-se maior atenção as ações educativas como prevenção para riscos na saúde reprodutiva dos jovens

The aim of the present study was to identify the representational elements of workrelated accidents in the health field, as well as investigate their most frequent occurrences at a university hospital, seeking to understand the cognitive, affective and social elements subjacent to the work process involved in health. The analysis focused on 470 middle and senior support staff of this hospital, based on the theoretical-methodological support of the Social Representations Theory. A combination of the following instruments was used for data collection: a free wordassociation test, a questionnaire, an interview and a field journal. Evoc 2000 software was used to identify representational structure. Chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests, at a significance level of 5%, were performed to verify the association between the independent variables and the occurrence of work accidents. In addition, thematic content analysis and lexicographic analysis by ALCESTE software program were used to understand textual content. It was observed that social representations of work-related accidents in the health area are centered in the contamination category, while the categories of prevention and professional unpreparedness are found peripherally. There was a significant association between the existence of multiple employment, the use of personal protective equipment (PPI) during work, job satisfaction and the occurrence of work accidents. The conclusions indicate that perforating-cutting occupational accidents predominated in the hospital and that the representations of the subjects intertwined, with a traditional discourse of work accidents strongly present in Occupational Health. It is therefore suggested that certain subjective aspects related to culture, in terms of controlling work accidents, such as: management, process, organization and the increasing precariousness

Ferritin is a protein composed of heavy and light chains, non-covalently linked and which accommodates, in its core, thousands of atoms of iron. Furthermore, this protein represents the stock of iron in the body and it is characterized as an acute marker and predictor of diseases, such as iron deficiency anemia, hereditary hemochromatosis and others. Considering the variability of reference values and the analytical methods currently available, the aim of this work was to propose 95% confidence intervals for adults in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, after determining the average concentration of serum ferritin for both sexes, beyond its correlation with the age. We analyzed 385 blood samples, collected by venipuncture from individuals residing in the State, after 12-14 hours of fast. The populational sample had 169 men and 216 women between 18-59 years old, which filled a questionnaire on socioeconomic, food habits and accounts about previous and current diseases. The sample collections were itinerant and the results of erythrogram, fasting glucose, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, γ-glutamyl transferase, urea, creatinine, leukocyte count and platelets, beyond C-reactive protein, were issued to each participant, so that, after selection of the apparently healthy individuals, the dosage of serum ferritin was carried out. Statistical analysis was performed using the softwares SPSS 11.0 Windows version, Epi Info 3.3.2 and Graf instant pad (version 3.02), and the random population sample was single (finite population), for which the test of linear correlation and diagram of dispersion were also made. After selection of individuals and determination of serum ferritin, the most discrepant outliers were disregarded (N = 358, Men = 154/Women = 207) and the average value determined for the masculine sex individuals was 167,18 ng / dL; for the feminine sex individuals, the average value obtained was 81,55 ng / dL. Moreover, we found that 25% of men had values < 90,30 ng / dL; 50% ≤ 156,25 ng / dL and 75% ≤ 229,00 ng / dL. In the group of women, 25% had values < 38,80 ng / dL; 50% ≤ 65,00 ng / dL and 75% ≤ 119,00 ng / dL. Through the correlation coefficient (r = 0,23 with p = 0,003), it is possible to suggest the existence of positive linear correlation between age and serum ferritin for men. The correlation coefficient for women (r = 0,16 with p = 0,025) also confirms the existence of positive linear correlation between serum ferritin and age. Considering the analysis carried out and specific methods corroborating with the proposed benchmarks, we concluded that the average value found for men is higher than that found for women. Furthermore, this scenario rises with age for both sexes, and the 95% confidence intervals obtained were 74 ng/dL ≤ μ ≤ 89 ng/dL and 152ng/dL ≤ μ ≤183ng/dL for the feminine and masculine sex individuals respectively

The aim of this study was to establish the profile of the pharmacist technician responsible for community pharmacies in the city of Natal/RN, featuring personal elements, perceived their role and place of pharmaceutical care, levels of job satisfaction, type and quality of services provided in human and structural framework. To that end, we made an exploratory cross-sectional study applying a questionnaire containing open and closed questions, which was applied to pharmaceutical technicians responsible for community pharmacies in Natal/RN, from September 2010 to September 2011. The sample was established by calculating the simple random sample, with a confidence level of 95% and a significance level of 0.05. To evaluate the satisfaction level of the activities performed by pharmacists in community pharmacies was used Simple Satisfaction Scale (Likert, 1935). To assess the attitudes and perceptions of pharmacists in relation to aspects of pharmaceutical care, we used the Model Attitude toward the object (Fishbein, Ajzen, 1975). The answers were converted into data were analyzed statistically using Epi Info 3.5.2 The results showed that the strengths and weaknesses in relation to the profile of the pharmacist and their activities in community pharmacies in Natal/RN are not different in other cities in the country . The most important aspects were: 51% (n = 90) of the establishments visited, the pharmacist was absent; 46% (n = 80) did not have postgraduate and of those who are or have completed 33% (n = 51) are in the area of Clinical Analysis; 56% (n = 98) 08h for day work and 64% (n = 111) claim that this load influence its performance; 83% (n = 146) receive as salary, the floor pharmacist regarding the state of Rio Grande do Norte; 44% (n = 76) are unhappy about the salary, which is the main difficulty cited; 78% (n = 136) say they are always sought by users and the receptivity of these considered good (52%, n = 91). The activities of higher satisfaction are those related to pharmaceutical care and lower the administrative. As regards attitudes and perceptions, the score was more negative to the question 'if the pharmacist feels working as a team with the doctor', in which 59% (n = 103) responded 'never'. 49% (n = 86) reported being "able" to take questions from users and 39% (n = 68) are 'dissatisfied' with respect to the structure of the practice of pharmacy to pharmaceutical care. Action is needed on the obstacles to the exercise of the pharmacist in the solution and minimize the negative and positive stimulus to

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos do período e volume de aplicação na segurança da atividade de tratoristas aplicando herbicidas na cultura de cana-de-açúcar com o pulverizador de barra montado em trator e a eficiência de equipamentos de proteção individual (EPIs) e de uma cabina acoplada ao trator. As exposições dérmicas de 13 condições de trabalho foram avaliadas e analisadas estatisticamente por meio do delineamento inteiramente ao acaso e do esquema fatorial 3 x 2 x 2 + 1. O fator A foi a condição de exposição: 1) exposição dérmica potencial (EDP) - sem nenhuma medida de segurança; 2) exposição com cabina no trator (Cabina); e 3) exposição com as vestimentas (EPI). O fator B foi o volume de aplicação: 1) 200 L ha-1 e 2) 100 L ha-1; e o fator C foi o período de aplicação: 1) diurno e 2) noturno. Como testemunha foi avaliada a EDP do tratorista aplicando na atividade usual de 300 L de calda ha-1, no período diurno. As exposições dérmicas (EDs) aos herbicidas considerados nessas condições de trabalho foram estimadas por meio de dados substitutos das EDs avaliadas ao cátion Cu+2 adicionado como traçador nas caldas aplicadas. O pulverizador utilizado foi do modelo PJ 600, com barra de 12 m de comprimento e 24 bicos de jato plano TT 110 04 ou TT 110 02. As 13 condições de trabalho avaliadas foram classificadas como seguras (MS>1) para o tratorista aplicando os herbicidas glyphosate (48% i.a.), MSMA (48%), diuron (46,8%) + hexazinone (13,2%), clomazone (50%), sulfentrazone (50%), ametryne (50%), diuron (50%), isoxaflutole (75%), metribuzin (48%), 2,4-D (80,6%), ametryne (30%) + clomazone (20%), ametryne (73,25%) + trifloxysulfuron (1,85%) e tebuthiuron (80 %) e inseguras para o herbicida atrazine (50%), nos dois períodos e nos três volumes de aplicação, e ametryne (50%), na aplicação diurna e 100 L de calda ha-1. As aplicações noturnas e os volumes de aplicação reduzidos tornaram as condições de trabalho mais seguras, exceto para o atrazine. A eficiência dos EPIs para a aplicação de 300 L ha-1 variou de 69,5 a 89,3%, e a da cabina do trator variou entre 76,4 e 83,3%, em relação aos volumes reduzidos de 100 e 200 L ha-1.

Descriptive exploratory study, with quantitative approach and prospective data performed on the Monsenhor Walfredo Gurgel Hospital Complex (MWGH), in Natal/RN, aiming to classify the type of motor vehicle involved in the accident, the public roadway s user quality and the more frequent injuries; to evaluate the severity of trauma in traffic accident victims; characterized the severity of the injuries and the trauma, and the type of motor vehicle involved. The population comprises 605 traffic accident victims, with data collected between October and December 2007. We used as a support for the evaluation of severity of injuries and trauma the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCSl), the Condensed Abbreviated Injury Scale (CAIS) and the Injury Severity Score (ISS). The results show that 82.8% of the victims were male; 78.4% were aged 18 to 38; the victims originating from the State s Countryside prevailed (43.1%); 24.3% of the population had completed middle-level instruction; 23.1% worked on commerce and auxiliary activities; most (79.4%) was catholic; 48.8% were married/consensual union; 76.2% earned up to two monthly minimum wages; Sunday was the day with the most accidents (25.1%); 47.4% were attended to in under an hour after the event; the motorcycle on its own was responsible for 53.2% of the accidents; 42.3% were attended to by the SAMU; 61.8% were victims of crashes; over half (53.4%) used individual protection equipment (IPE); 49.4% were helmets and 4.0% the seatbelt; 61.3% were motorcycle drivers; 43.3% of the accidents took place in the afternoon shift; from 395 drivers, 55.2% were licensed, and 50.7% among those had been licensed for 1 to 5 years; 90.7% of the victims had GCS1 between 13 and 15 points at the time of evaluation; the body area most affected was the external surface (35.9%); 38.8% of the injuries were light or moderate (AIS=1 and AIS=2); 83.2% had light trauma (ISS between 1 and 15 points). In face of the results, we can conclude that there is a risk for the elevation of injury severity and trauma resulting from traffic accidents, when these events are related to certain variables such as gender, age, weekday, the interval between the accident and the first care, ingestion of drugs, type of accident, the public roadway s user quality, the use of IPE, day shift, body regions and the type of motor vehicle involved in the accident

This study aims to analyze and compare the opinion of professionals, managers and users about the mental health care in the Family Health Strategy (FHS). It is characterized as an Operations Research or Health System Research with a cross-sectional design and a descriptive quantitative nature. The study was developed from the application of the Opinion Measurement Scale allied to techniques of observation and structured interview in the city of Parnamirim / RN. The sample consists of 409 subjects, 209 professionals of the Family Health Strategy, 30 of the Oral Health Strategy, 19 of the Family Health Support Center, 24 directors of Basic Health Units, plus 68 users with mental disorders and 59 caregivers, respecting the ethical parameters of Resolution 196/96 of the National Health Council, trial registration number: CAAE 0003.0.051.000-11. Quantitative data were submitted to the Epi-info 3.5.2 for analysis. The network of mental health in Parnamirim involves the flow between the FHS, Psychosocial Care Centers, clinics and hospitals, having as main barriers the fragility of the referral and counter-referral system, of the municipal health conferences, of the FHS teams by the limitations in material and human resources as well as the population´s lack of acknowledge about the organization of the mental health network, issues that affect the integral attention. Even though the FHS professionals recognize the importance of their actions, they question their role in mental health care, experiencing difficulties in accessing psychiatric services (76.5%). Although most agree that the mentally ill is best treated in the family than in hospital (65.2%), the community health workers were the predominant category in the partial or total disagreement of this statement (40.8%), who is the professional in greater contact with the family. Nevertheless the caregivers miss the support of the FHS as the main focus of attention is on revenue control. The views of professionals, mental patients and caregivers converged in several statements, showing the main weaknesses to be focused by the mental health network of the city, as the perceptions that: (a) physical strength is needed to take care of mental patients for its tendency to aggression, requiring it to stay in the sanatorium for representing danger to society, (b) only a psychiatrist can help the person with emotional problems, (c) the user of alcohol and drugs does not necessarily develop mental illness, (d) the access barriers and doubts about the quality of psychiatric services, (e) caring of a mental health patient does not bring suffering to professionals. Therefore, the commitment to consensus building, monitoring and evaluation of the network are important mechanisms for an effective management system, reflecting in the importance of strengthening the health conferences and approximating different institutions. The results reinforce the importance of strengthening primary care through programs of continuing education focusing on the actions and functions of professionals in accordance with its competences and duties what contribute to the organization and response of mental health care, favoring user´s care and the promotion of family health
