Biosecurity in public and private office

Biosecurity is currently a concern for all health-related services, including dentistry, since infection control has a relevant importance. In dental practice, health-related occupations have contact with a great number of individuals who are potentially capable to transmit pathogens. This study comprised a descriptive evaluation of the universal precaution measures for infection control adopted by dental practitioners working at public and private offices in the city of Araçatuba, SP. Data collection was performed by a quiz with questions about individual and collective protection equipments. The results showed that the use of caps was reported by 55% of the professionals working at the public sector and 90% for the private sector. The use of masks and gloves was reported by all professionals surveyed; nevertheless, glove change between patients was not reported by 40% of professionals working at the public sector. There were more flaws in public offices as to the use of protective barriers, since except for the use of gloves, gowns and masks, the frequency of use of those barriers was smaller than at private offices.

Estudo de segurança de cosméticos: presente e futuro

Cosmetics have been used since ancient times and, recently, their consumption has increased greatly in many countries, including brazil, which is the third largest consumer market in the world. Thus, concern for the safety and efficacy of these products should be heightened, even though these products are rarely related to adverse reactions that damage the health. Brazilian law requires manufacturers to subject their products to safety testing, to assess the possible reactions that could be caused by them (irritation, sensitization, systemic effects). To this end, in general, animals have been used as the experimental model, but this practice is being increasingly controlled, so that the scientific community is looking for alternative tests that do not require experimental in vivo models. Thus, this review aims to describe the main biological assays used to assess the safety of cosmetics, as well as in vitro assays that can replace them.

Acesso, segurança e uso de medicamentos por usuários

The present study aims to identify families who have stock and are making use of medications, as well as assess the conditions of storage, security and use of these drugs. The study was conducted in a city of São Paulo, the interviews were conducted in households enrolled in one of ten units of the Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF) that the city provides and the sample was defined by means of stratified random sampling (134households, IC 95%). Data collection was conducted through interviews with a semistructured questionnaire during the first half of 2011. We interviewed 118 (88.0%) households, of which 112 (95.0%) had medications that were stored n insecure or inadequate places in 75.4% of households, non-prescription self-medication was a common practice in 46 (47 4%) households, and lack of identification and security of medications stored was observed in 60 (53.6%) households. Most households had stock of medicines, which were done improperly or unsecure, or have specialties with lack of identification and security, which can lead to poisoning or e ineffective therapy. The Pharmaceutical Assistance under SUS lacks social initiatives, with actions directed for medications users, which can be supplied by the presence of the pharmacist in the ESF, essential for the promotion of racional use of medicines, that, through the Pharmaceutical Care, can identify, correct and prevent possible problems related to drugs.

Comparação in vitro da utilização do ultrassom e da turbina de alta-rotação na odontossecção de teerceiros molares inferiores

A extração de dentes inclusos pode ser realizada utilizando diferentes técnicas cirúrgicas, senda a odontossecção com o uso de instrumentos rotatórios a mais utilizada nos dias atuais com o uso das turbinas de alta rotação. Recentemente têm sido empregado o aparelho de ultra-som para a realização da odontossecção e da osteotomia nas cirurgias bucais, justificando o seu uso por promoverem uma maior segurança aos tecidos moles adjacentes e promoverem um corte mais preciso. Objetivo: A proposta deste estudo é comparar, in vitro, a eficácia das pontas diamantadas acopladas ao ultrassom quando comparadas às pontas diamantadas acopladas no motor de alta-rotação durante o seccionamento de terceiros molares inferiores e nas técnicas de osteotomias. Metodologia: 45 terceiros molares inferiores humanos hígidos foram incluídos em resina acrílica transparente para padronização da posição desejada durante o corte utilizando a turbina de alta rotação, o aparelho de ultra-som ou a associação de ambos. Os tempos de odontossecção e osteotomia foram calculados a comparados entre os diferentes grupos. Resultados: Durante a odontossecção o grupo ultra-som apresentou tempo médio bem acima dos outros grupos, demonstrando haver diferença estatisticamente significante em relação aos grupos alta-rotação e alta-rotação+ultra-som (p0.05). Quando analisado o tempo gasto para a osteotomia, não foram observadas diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre os 3 grupos (p>0,05). Conclusões: A utilização dos métodos em associação (alta-rotação+ultra-som) apresenta-se como uma opção segura e rápida para os procedimentos de osteotomia e odontossecção, possibilitando uma maior segurança aos tecidos adjacentes.

Construção e calibração de um inclinômetro para uso em tratores agrícolas como instrumento de segurança

The tractors are the main potency source, for the traction of tillage equipments and their use are increasing more and more in Brazilian agriculture. In spite of the great technological progress the increase of the number of agricultural tractors brought positive aspects and some negative, among these last ones it stands out the appearance of a new source of work accidents, which importance is given by the physical damages caused to the operator. Therefore the objective of this work was to project and develop an inclinometer, which indicates the inclination of the land, as safety sensor for agricultural tractors to avoid lateral hollovers, through a resonant sign, for the operator and the machine preservation. The built and evaluated inclinometer showed to be efficient for inclination indication of different areas during field operations with agricultural tractors, small angle oscillation and enough answer time to help operators to take decisions in imminence situation of lateral machine hollovers.
