In the midst of health care reform, Colombia has succeeded in increasing health insurance coverage and the quality of health care. In spite of this, efficiency continues to be a matter of concern, and small-area variations in health care are one of the plausible causes of such inefficiencies. In order to understand this issue, we use individual data of all births from a Contributory-Regimen insurer in Colombia. We perform two different specifications of a multilevel logistic regression model. Our results reveal that hospitals account for 20% of variation on the probability of performing cesarean sections. Geographic area only explains 1/3 of the variance attributable to the hospital. Furthermore, some variables from both demand and supply sides are found to be also relevant on the probability of undergoing cesarean sections. This paper contributes to previous research by using a hierarchical model and by defining hospitals as cluster. Moreover, we also include clinical and supply induced demand variables.

Introducción: Todos los trabajadores del área de la salud están en riesgo de padecer un accidente biológico. No obstante los estudiantes de estas aéreas, pueden presentar más riesgo porque apenas están en formación y no tienen la práctica o experiencia suficiente. Existen varios artículos que han estudiado la incidencia y prevalencia de accidentes biológicos en los trabajadores del área de la salud, Sin embargo, sobre esta problemática de la población estudiantil del área de la salud, se encuentra menos literatura. Por lo tanto con esta revisión sistemática se busca analizar y actualizar este tema. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión de la literatura científica de artículos publicados en los últimos 14 años, en relación con la prevalencia de accidentes biológicos en estudiantes de medicina, odontología, enfermería y residentes del área de la salud a nivel mundial. Se llevó a cabo la búsqueda en la base de datos de Pubmed, encontrando un total de 100 artículos, escritos en inglés, francés, español o portugués. Resultados: Las prevalencias encontradas sobre accidentes biológicos en estudiantes fueron las siguientes: en países europeos a nivel de enfermería los valores oscilan entre 10.2 % a 32%, en medicina fueron del 16%-58.8%, y en odontología del 21 %. En países asiáticos, se encontró que en enfermería el porcentaje varía de 49%-96 %, en medicina van del 35% -68%, y en odontología varia de 68.a 75.4%. En Norte América, en medicina las cifras fluctúan alrededor del 11-72.7 % y en odontología giran alrededor del 19.1%. Finalmente respecto a Suramérica la prevalencia fue de 31.2 a 46.7% en medicina, y del 40% en enfermería. Conclusiones: Por lo anterior se pudo concluir que, la prevalencia de accidentes biológicos en los estudiantes del área de la salud es elevada y varía según el continente en el que se encuentren.

Resumen Objetivo. El desenlace temprano del trauma ocupacional agudo (TOA) puede estar condicionado al desarrollo industrial local en relación con el momento de la semana donde se presente el evento, por lo que evaluamos las diferencias en los desenlaces clínicos tempranos de trabajadores que presentaron TOA en diferentes momentos de la semana. Metodología. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo utilizando una base de datos administrativa de trabajadores atendidos por TOA, entre enero/2007-diciembre/2010, en una institución hospitalaria de III nivel de Bogotá. Se comparó la distribución del TOA entre semana (ES) y en fin de semana (FdS) según variables sociodemográficas/clínicas y la mediana de estancia hospitalaria (EH), el riesgo de muerte o de un trauma específico. Resultados. Se incluyeron 65169 trabajadores, la mayoría hombres (78,4%), adultos jóvenes (83,7%), edad mediana 31 años, con razón de ingreso ES:FdS 3:1, predominantemente durante el día (81,3%). La EH mediana (horas) en FdS (0,48) fue mayor que ES (0,43) (p: 0,000) en general y al evaluar por las sub-categorías de sexo, grupo de edad, momento de ingreso, área de manejo y estado al alta. Se presentaron 35 muertes, con mayor riesgo (OR;IC95%) en el grupo 45-64 años (3,47;1,71-6,76), en los ingresados en la noche (3,27;1,64-6,40) o durante el FdS (4,57;1,25-18,4). Durante el FdS se identificó mayor riesgo de TOA con compromiso de Cabeza/Cuello, traumas múltiples y de causadas por vehículos en movimiento. Durante el FdS disminuyó la frecuencia de trabajadores atendidos por Ortopedia/Oftalmología/Cirugía General (p: < 0,05). Conclusión. Evidenciamos que los trabajadores ingresados por TOA durante el FdS presentaron mayor EH y riesgo de muerte; además se identificó una redistribución en el Servicio de atención en el FdS, con una baja frecuencia de atenciones prestadas por médicos especialistas.

Introducción: El trasplante hepático ortotópico es la colocación de un nuevo hígado en la misma ubicación del explantado. El objetivo es prolongar la duración y la calidad de vida en pacientes con enfermedades hepáticas terminales. Sin embargo, las infecciones bacterianas son una complicación en los pacientes receptores del trasplante, comprometiendo el éxito del procedimiento. El objetivo fue determinar los factores asociados a infecciones bacterianas en el primer mes tras realizada la intervención y describir las características demográficas de esa población. De 332 trasplantes realizados, que 262 cumplieron criterios para el análisis. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional analítico de casos y controles anidado en una cohorte, en mayores de 18 años, receptores de trasplante hepático primario, de la FCI-IC de 2005 a 2014; excluyendo trasplante combinado hígado riñón, retrasplantes o fallecidos por causa diferente a la infecciosa durante el primer mes. Resultados: Se encontró que la ventilación mecánica por más de 1 día, el catéter venoso central mayor de 3 días son los principales factores de riesgo para infecciones bacterianas. La albúmina mayor de 2,6gr/dl se asoció a menor infección. Los agentes etiológicos predominantes fueron gérmenes gram negativos como E. coli, K. pneumonia y E. cloacae. Mientras que bacteremia, infección urinaria y peritonitis fueron las infecciones más frecuentes. La incidencia de infección bacteriana en esta población fue 24%. Discusión: Se recomienda por tanto extubación antes de 24 horas, uso de catéter central menor de 3 días y limitar el uso del catéter vesical.

Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection is common in sub-Saharan Africa, but its prevalence in Mozambique is unknown. The seroprevalence of HHV-8 in a cohort of individuals seen at public health centers in Northern (n = 208), Central (n = 226), or Southern (n = 318) Mozambique was examined. All individuals were interviewed to obtain socioeconomic, demographic and clinical data and were tested for serum anti-HHV-8 antibodies using an immunofluorescence assay. The overall frequency of HHV-8 antibodies was 21.4% and, in spite of the diversity of epidemiological characteristics of the tested individuals, did not differ significantly among regions: 18.7%, 24.3% and 21.4% in the North, Center, and South, respectively (chi(2), 2.37; P = 0.305). The variables that were associated significantly with the presence of HHV-8 antibodies were gender, age, level of education, number of siblings and HIV serostatus, but these differed across the regions. In the North, although tested individuals lived under poor socioeconomic conditions, no association between HHV-8 infection and household variables was detected, with the exception of the number of siblings (P = 0.042). In the Central region, HHV-8 infection was associated with gender (P = 0.010), the number of household members (P = 0.031), and the place of attendance (P = 0.021). In the South, HHV-8 infection was associated with the number of siblings (P = 0.023) and HIV status (P = 0.002). The overall prevalence of HHV-8 seropositivity increased with age. These results demonstrate that Mozambique is another country in Africa with endemic HHV-8 infection, and, because of the AIDS epidemic, continued access to antiretroviral treatment is necessary to avert an outbreak of AIDS-Kaposi`s sarcoma.

Objetivo: Avaliar a influência de mudanças no hábito de fumar sobre o ganho de peso gravídico materno. Métodos: Foram entrevistadas 5.564 gestantes com 20 anos ou mais, sem diabetes mellitus prévio em serviços de pré-natal geral de seis capitais brasileiras, entre 1991 e 1995, e acompanhamos, através de revisão de prontuários, as gestações até o parto, identificando 4.000 gestantes com peso pré-gravídico relatado, peso medido no terceiro trimestre, hábito de fumar e época de sua eventual modificação, quando disponíveis. Resultados: Entre as gestantes ex-fumantes (915, 23% do total), 240 (26%) pararam de fumar durante a gravidez. A mediana de cigarros/dia das que continuaram fumantes (717, 18%) foi reduzida de 10 para 5 após o início da gravidez. Após ajustar para idade, escolaridade, cor da pele, IMC pré-gravídico, paridade e centro clínico, as ex-fumantes ganharam 1.030 g (IC95% 590 a 1.460) a mais que as nunca fumantes, sendo maior a diferença (1.540, IC95% 780 a 2.300 g) nas que pararam após a concepção. O ganho do peso na gravidez se correlacionou, tanto em fumantes quanto em ex-fumantes, com o número de cigarros diminuídos na gravidez. Conclusão: Diminuir ou parar de fumar na gravidez, embora importante para uma gestação saudável, é fator de risco para ganho de peso materno.

The recently released "Educational PAC" attempts to place basic education at the center of the social debate. We have subsidized this debate, offering a diagnosis of how different education levels can impact individuals' lives through broad and easily interpreted indicators. Initially, we analyze how much each educational level reaches the poorest population. For example, how are those in the bottom strata of income distribution benefited by childcare centers, private secondary education, public university or adult education. The next step is to quantify the return of educational actions, such as their effects on employability and an individual's wages, and even health as perceived by the individual, be that individual poor, middle class or elite. The next part of the research presents evidence of how the main characters in education, aka mothers, fathers and children, regard education. The site available with the research presents a broad, user-friendly database, which will allow interested parties to answer their own questions relative to why people do not attend school, the time spent in the educational system and returns to education, which can all be cross-sectioned with a wide array of socio-demographic attributes (gender, income, etc.) and school characteristics (is it public, are school meals offered, etc.) to find answers to: why do young adults of a certain age not attend school? Why do they miss classes? How long is the school day? Aside from the whys and hows of teaching, the research calculates the amount of time spent in school, resulting from a combination between absence rates, evasion raters and length of the school day. The study presents ranks of indicators referring to objective and subjective aspects of education, such as the discussion of the advantages and care in establishing performance based incentives that aim at guiding the states in the race for better educational indicators.

In Brazil, the mental health network proposed by the Psychiatric Reform inserts the intermediate and replacement services in the pursuit of alignment or resocialization of patients with mental and behavioral disorder in the community. Was adopted, among other services, the Center for Psychosocial Care, Home Therapy, Sheltered Home, Day Hospital and psychiatric beds in general hospital. In this context, the State of Rio Grande do Norte implanted the Day Hospital Dr. Elger Nunes (HDEN) in Natal / RN in 1996, linked to State Department of Public Health. At HDEN happened a multi and interdisciplinary therapeutic work, besides being the scene of disciplinary practices, and extension projects for graduate courses in Higher Education Institutions in the city. However, with the process of decentralization of local services, the hospital was terminated by an administrative state act in 2006, leaving damage to the activities provided to users, disciplinary practices and extension activities. From this breakdown, the objective was to narrate the trajectory of HDEN through a multidisciplinary team of professionals and teachers who used it as a field of disciplinary practices. It is characterized as a documental and qualitative, backed in the technique of thematic oral history, following the phases: authorization of the interviewee, interview recording, transcription, textualization and transcreation of the material obtained. We used documents, ordinances, general reports of activities, among others, plus interviews to fifteen employees who used this service, being thirteen part of the multidisciplinary team of professionals and two graduation professors of health care area, nursing and medicine. The stories collected were organized according to the technique chosen, respecting its steps. In preparing the body subjected to ALCESTE computer program, priority was given to the vital tone for the formation of categories and classes elected by the program, structured in three thematic areas. In the first axis, called Trajectory of HDEN, were recalled the beginning of its activities, the steps of that time, their activities, and its actors - users, families, professionals, and teaching practices. The second axis has dealt with the process of extinction of HDEN, rescuing the feelings of employees, the main reasons given at the time and immediate postextinction scenario. And the third axis revealed in an articulated form the situation of mental health in Natal / RN, listing to the challenges and prospects for the psychosocial care, starting from the trajectory of HDEN with emphasis on activities. Moreover, the trajectory of HDEN provides recognition of the historical basis outlined in the constitution of the network of substitute services present in the current scenario of psychosocial care in the city of Natal and in RN.

Both the cleaning and care of the prosthesis are fundamental for maintaining its quality. Therefore, the aim of this study was to show the methods of cleaning and care the patient needs to take as regards the prosthesis and adjacent tissue, starting with correct instruction and training by the professional. It has been verified that among the materials for fabricating maxillofacial prostheses, silicone was considered the major retainer of microorganisms on its surface. Therefore, for cleaning prostheses, the use of water and neutral soap, as well as chlorhexidine, is recommended. As regards care of the adjacent tissues, it is recommended to remove the prosthesis before going to sleep, in addition to washing the prosthesis receptor tissues with water and neutral soap or with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water. Whereas for the mucosal surfaces of the ophthalmic cavity, cleaning with filtered and boiled water or physiological solution at least 3 times a day is recommended.
