Methods This is a descriptive, quantitative approach based on Violence and Accidents Surveillance Information System (SIVVA) of the city of São Paulo. In the selection of notifications, it was included the ones related to self-injury and attempted suicide against men and women, with age group between 60 and over, from January to December 2014 in the city of São Paulo, Southeastern Region of Brazil. Results During 2014, 93 cases of self-injury and attempted suicide were reported among elderly people living in the city of São Paulo. The main instruments used by the elderly population in the analyzed period were poisoning (41.9%), other means (34.4%), cold weapon (15.1%), high precipitation places (4.3%), hanging or suffocation (3.2%), and firearm (1.1%). Conclusion From the results of this study it was possible to characterize some specific aspects related to self-injury and suicide attempt among elderly in the evaluated population. Therefore, developing a strategy to promote effective prevention actions and offer specialized services to most risk groups (brown races, people with lower levels of education, and males).

Abstract Micronutrient deficiency is common in patients with HIV/AIDS, usually caused by mal-absorption and/or drug interactions. 25-hydroxyvitamin D is of fundamental importance for the homeostasis of musculoskeletal health. The current study aimed to evaluate the nutritional status of HIV-infected subjects in order to make their nutritional diagnoses, including their vitamin D blood levels and to estimate their consumption of vitamin D. The study included 98 HIV-1-infected subjects, followed at University of São Paulo Medical School - HC-FMUSP. We performed a nutritional evaluation, along with the determination of patients’ serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and calcium concentration, biochemical analyses and an anthropometric assessment. In the medical interview a 24-hour food recall was used (R24) to estimate daily calorie intake, macronutrients, calcium and vitamin D. A high level of vitamin D deficiency was observed in our patients: 83.4% of them had levels below 30 ng/ml; they also presented an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, along with a high consumption of dietary fat. Factors related to the virus itself and to the use of antiretroviral drugs may have contributed for the low vitamin D levels seen in our HIV-1-infected patients.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the perceptions and barriers to providing oral health care for the dependent elderly in unconventional settings as reported by dentists in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. The Brazilian elderly population is rapidly growing, and a larger elderly population implies an increasing number of dependent elderly patients. Therefore, investigating the perceptions and barriers reported by dentists for caring for these patients becomes important. Materials and methods: An online survey was sent by e-mail to dentists of a metropolitan area in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Results: The response rate was 3.65% (n = 125). Only 14.4% of respondents offered home care to the elderly. Lack of experience or training (60.7%) and the small number of home visits (42.9%), were the main reported barriers to providing care for the dependent elderly. Most of the respondents (82.4%) agreed that the age of the patient did not influence their decision to provide care, and 96.8% agreed that delivering care to the elderly could be a rewarding experience. Conclusion: Few respondents offered care to the elderly and some of the most relevant factors considered in the decision to offer care were, experience and training, personal satisfaction and having gerodontology as a stand-alone course during dental school.
