The diagnosis of head and neck infections constitutes relevant step in their treatment. However, in spite of the fact that most of diseases in head and neck region are infectious in nature, several reasons collaborated for dentists do not ask laboratory tests in order to help clinical diagnosis. By mean of this review literature, based on research articles about the newest and most reliable methods of diagnosis for clinical laboratories, the authors discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each selected method and the relevant aspects in transportation of the specimens to the laboratory. Saliva, biofilm, pus, and blood are the most frequent specimens for microbial diagnosis, being that the most used methods are culture and those based on detection of deoxyribonucleic acid by polymerase chain reaction method. Whereas, the culture depends on cellular viability, and has reduced sensitivity, as well as needs favorable conditions in the sample collection and transportation, PCR shows high sensitivity and specificity, but it does not allow the determination of antibiogram, what reduces its usefulness. In addition, few laboratories possess conditions to perform cultivation of obligate anaerobes or have experience in the molecular detection of these microorganisms.

The objective of this work was, from a bibliographical survey, to discuss the relationship between the subjects “Mental Health” and “Death”, in order to analyze possible contributions of the Psychiatric Reformation tied with the sphere of Palliative Cares. The characterization of madness as a social problem is related to the development of the capitalist mode of production. Unable to fulfill the requirements imposed by capital, insane persons are excluded from society and locked in psychiatric hospitals in order to be treated. In the same way, death is incompatible with the capitalist principles of accumulation of goods. Dying people are then transferred to the hospital in order to hide their invalidity, non-production and felt inexistence of wealth. Some principles for care in mental health that could be shared in the palliative cares are: deinstitutionalization; organization of assistance in a network; psychosocial assistance; interdisciplinarity and construction of the autonomy of family members and users. In this sense, some challenges are distinguished, between them, professional training.

Objetivou-se identificar o padrão de funcionamento familiar nas relações de cuidado cotidiano de adultos na quarta idade. Trata-se de estudo de natureza diagnóstico-avaliativa de idosos de 80 e mais anos, dependentes de cuidados, e de seus familiares cuidadores, selecionados entre os cadastrados nas unidades de Saúde da Família de um distrito de periferia de Belém-PA, avaliando-os quanto à dinâmica de família, qualidade de vida e estilo de vida relacionado à saúde. Observou-se que a maioria dos idosos avaliou sua família como tendo boa funcionalidade. Porém, os demais dados relativos à qualidade de vida de idosos e cuidadores, como também, estilo de vida dos cuidadores recaíram no nível mediano, levando a inferir certa dificuldade no padrão de funcionamento familiar. Conclui-se que os múltiplos resultados obtidos sinalizam implicações práticas de atenção à unidade familiar e confirmam a necessidade de avaliação multidimensional em intervenção de família.
