As doenças sexualmente transmissíveis (DST) estão entre os problemas de saúde pública mais comuns em todo o mundo, principalmente entre os adolescentes, pois eles são mais vulneráveis em relação à sexualidade, tanto em países industrializados como nos em desenvolvimento. Este estudo tem por objetivo investigar a prevalência de doenças sexualmente transmissíveis em escolares da rede pública municipal de ensino da área urbana do município de Porto Velho, Estado de Rondônia. Foram investigados 122 alunos da Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental Marechal Joaquim Vicente Rondon, na faixa etária de 11 a 19 anos, através de questionário de autopreenchimento e coleta de amostras de sangue, secreção uretral e vaginal. O método sorológico ELISA (Ensaio imunoenzimático) e a bacterioscopia pelo método de Gram foram os testes utilizados para detecção e identificação de DST. 84,4% dos estudantes responderam saber o que é uma DST, 82,8% informaram que usavam preservativo durante as relações sexuais para prevenir DST, 11,5% não utilizavam o preservativo e 5,7% afirmaram que selecionavam seus parceiros sexuais. Foram examinadas 83 amostras de soro pelo teste ELISA e 41 esfregaços corados pelo método de Gram. A prevalência encontrada para Chlamydia foi de 65,3% no sexo feminino e 34,6% no sexo masculino. Os agentes biopatogênicos encontrados com mais freqüência foram Gardnerella vaginalis, Candida albicans e Trichomonas vaginalis.

Between 75% and 90% of the waste produced by health-care providers no risk or is "general" health-care waste, comparable to domestic waste. The remaining 10-25% of health-care waste is regarded as hazardous due to one or more of the following characteristics: it may contain infectious agents, sharps, toxic or hazardous chemicals or it may be radioactive. Infectious health-care waste, particularly sharps, has been responsible for most of the accidents reported in the literature. In this work the preliminary risks analysis (PRA) technique was used to evaluate practices in the handling of infectious health-care waste. Currently the PRA technique is being used to identify and to evaluate the potential for hazard of the activities, products, and services from facilities and industries. The system studied was a health-care establishment which has handling practices for infectious waste. Thirty-six procedures related to segregation, containment, internal collection, and storage operation were analyzed. The severity of the consequences of the failure (risk) that can occur from careless management of infectious health-care waste was classified into four categories: negligible, marginal, critical, and catastrophic. The results obtained in this study showed that events with critics consequences, about 80%, may occur during the implementation of the containment operation, suggesting the need to prioritize this operation. As a result of the methodology applied in this work, a flowchart the risk series was also obtained. In the flowchart the events that can occur as a consequence of a improper handling of infectious health-care waste, which can cause critical risks such as injuries from sharps and contamination (infection) from pathogenic microorganisms, are shown.

Foods are susceptible to be contaminated with several etiologic agents, which can lead to the development of illnesses, triggered by pathogenic microorganisms or their toxins. Food prepared and improperly stored can be the diseases vehicle. This study aimed at evaluating the sanitary conditions in preparing free school meals in the nursery schools, located in a city of the state of São Paulo. This study was conducted by performing microbiological analyses of samples collected from hands of workers responsible for preparing food, and of the water samples used for cleansing and preparing foods. The kitchen physical, structural and cleaning conditions were assessed by means of a checklist. This study analyzed 31 samples from worker hands swab, and 21 samples of water collected from three school kitchens. This study pointed out that the food handlers training should be improved, and a peremptory control of the water used for food preparation purpose should be established. Also, this study showed that the evaluated schools maintain the respective kitchens in a good standard of conservation and cleanliness.
