Poisoning In Children

OBJECTIVE: To study the epidemiology of exogenous intoxications in children and adolescents of Barra Garças, Mato Grosso, from January 2008 to September 2013.METHOD: This was a cross-sectional, retrospective, and descriptive epidemiological study. Data were collected from the Disease Notification System (Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação [SINAN]) of the municipality, processed using Microsoft Excel, and evaluated through BIOESTAT statistical software. The variables included were: sex; age; toxic agent; time and place of service; route of administration; circumstance; and classification of intoxication. The age range was established according to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, comprising children aged from 0 to 9 years old and adolescents aged from 10 to 19 years old.RESULTS: A total of 125 cases of accidental exogenous poisoning was registered, including 77 children and 48 adolescents. Food and beverages (38.4%) and drugs (24.0%) were the most common groups of toxic agents responsible for the poisoning. The largest age group affected by intoxication was composed of children aged from 0 to 4 years old (43.2%) and adolescents aged from 10 to 14 years old (19.7%). Regarding the circumstances, intoxication occurred due to suicide attempts (16.8%) and accidental events (23.2%) in adolescents and children, respectively. The study revealed a higher frequency of poisoning in girls.CONCLUSION: Exogenous intoxications occurred predominantly in children up to 4 years old, through the accidental consumption of food or drinks. Thus, the adoption of educational prevention programs for children's family members and caregivers is necessary.

Introduction: COVID-19 is a severe respiratory syndrome caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In Brazil the highest infection rates are associated with socially vulnerable populations. This study therefore sought to analyze the spatial distribution of the disease and its relation with geographic, socioeconomic and public health policy characteristics associated with quilombola communities in Salvaterra municipality, state of Pará, for the period of March to September, 2020. Methodology: This cross-sectional and ecological study used data from the Disease Notification System and the National Registry of Health Establishments of the Ministry of Health, the Income Transfer Registry of the Ministry of Citizenship and the 2010 census of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. Statistical and spatial analysis of the data was done through percentages of cases and Flow and Kernel map techniques. Results: Seventy-five notified cases of COVID-19 distributed among 7 quilombola communities in the municipality were analyzed. The epidemiological profile followed a national trend, with a higher percentage of cases among persons who were female, adults with low schooling levels, working as family farmers and with an outcome ending in recovery. The spatial distribution of the disease was not homogenous and showed clusters of cases and high incidence rates, especially in communities close to the municipal seat or to highways. Conclusions: The use of data analysis techniques was satisfactory for providing an understanding of the socioeconomic production of the disease in the areas studied. Accordingly, the need for intensifying epidemiological survey actions in the quilombola communities of the municipality is emphasized.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is highly endemic in prison environments, and requires special attention in the population deprived of liberty (PDL). Thus, we aimed to describe the epidemiological situation of TB among PDL in a large municipality of the Brazilian Legal Amazon, from 2012 to 2016, and to identify the factors associated with the site of TB cases notification. Methodology: Both descriptive and cross-sectional studies were conducted. Sociodemographic, clinical, diagnostic and treatment data of PDL with TB were collected from the National Disease Notification System - SINAN. Data analysis included frequency distribution, Chi-square test, Fisher exact test and residue analysis, with a significance level of 95%. Results: 256 cases of TB have been notified among PDL in the penitentiary complex situated in the municipality and 100 cases in local health services, such as Primary Health Care units or referral services. Notification in the penitentiary complex was associated with non-X-ray and more than ten contacts identified. An association was found between diagnosis in local health services and female sex, AIDS, alcoholism, illicit drug use, extrapulmonary clinical form, extrapulmonary pulmonary disease, suspected X-ray, sputum smear-negative for diagnosis, HIV positive, culture of sputum not performed/ in progress, DOT ignored/ blank, less than five contacts identified, transfer and others as closure situation. Conclusions: The results show that intricate TB cases were notified by the local health services. Strategies of surveillance and articulation with these health services seem to contribute to the identification of TB cases among PDL.

Tremendous Impact

Introduction: The Bioceanic Routeand its economic integration will have tremendous impact within the cities under management. The state of Mato Grosso do Sul and interior municipalities of the Paraguay-Brazil Border are standouts. The permanence of these workers in Brazilian territory will lead to a rapid increase in population in the border towns connected by the corridor and consequently, in the incidence of infectious diseases. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, quantitative and descriptive study of documentary approach that aimed to analyze the prevalence of tropical infectious diseases such asarboviroses and Diseases Related to Inadequate Environmental Sanitation (DRIES) notified and stored in the National System of Notifiable Diseases (SINAN). The sample consisted of new cases of these pathologies in the municipality of Porto Murtinho registered between January 2017 and December 2020. Results: Within the period analyzed, an increase of 10% in the total number of diseases occured. The number of dengue cases increased 36 times its previous rates; there was a maintenance from cases of Leptospirosis, Yellow Fever, Zika, Chikungunya, whereas the incidence of Syphilis, HIV and HPV decreased. Conclusions: Actions aimed at preventing the increase of Arboviruses and DRIESI before, during and after the construction of the Bioceanic Route are needed in view of the changes that will be imposed by it. Faced with the increase in the flow of people that is inevitable with the construction of this project, several outcomes are expected based on previous experiences already mentioned in this work.

Obesity has become a significant problem for developing countries, including Indonesia. High duration of sedentary activity and high intake of unhealthy foods were associated with high risk of overweight and obesity. The objective of this study was to compare the distributions of sedentary activity and dietary behavior with overweight/obesity risks between urban and rural areas among children and adolescents aged 10–18 years in Indonesia. This is a cross-sectional study. Data from a national survey in 33 Indonesian provinces (Basic Health Research /Riskesdas 2013) were analyzed. Multiple logistic regression models were used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) adjusted with all variables, such as age, gender, residency, education level, physical activity, and food intake. An urban–rural residence difference was found in the factors related to obesity. Daily caffeinated soft drinks and energy drinks consumption (OR = 1.12, 95% CI: 1.01–1.23) were related to risk of overweight and obesity in urban areas. Daily grilled foods (OR = 1.32, 95% CI: 1.22–1.42) and salty food (OR = 1.09, 95% CI: 1.04–1.15) consumption were significantly associated with obesity in rural areas but not in urban areas. Furthermore, sedentary activity was correlated with overweight and obesity among those who lived in urban and rural areas. Our findings suggest that education, environmental, and policy interventions may need to specifically target urban settings, where access is high to a wide range of processed and traditional high-sugar, high-fat snack foods and beverages.

ABSTRACT This is a descriptive, retrospective cross-sectional epidemiological study, on cases of Congenital Syphilis (CS) reported on the Information System for Notifiable Diseases (SINAN) from 2013 to 2017. This study aims to describe the epidemiological profile of CS cases reported in the eight health regions of the state of Tocantins. The health care regions were related to the variables maternal schooling, prenatal performance, area of residence, moment of diagnosis and treatment of the partner. Of the 1192 cases reported,the majority were in the Capim Dourado region. It was verified that in most cases the mothers studied until elementary or secondary school, performed prenatal care and resided in urban areas, and  that the diagnosis occurred during prenatal care, however, the partner was not treated. Only Amor Perfeito region showed a predominance of diagnosis performed at the time of delivery and Ilha do Bananal region was the one with the highest percentage of diagnosis carried out after birth. The increase in SC cases may reflect increase in it’s incidence and improvement in the notification system. The percentage of untreated partners and late diagnoses may suggest a qualitative and an access deficit  in prenatal care. Descriptors: congenital syphilis; epidemiology; health care regions.

Abstract Infection caused by the new Coronavirus (SARS-COV-2) causes a variable clinical picture. Due to its high transmissibility, Covid-19 was declared a pandemic. In view of this, in Brazil, the Ministry of Education (MEC) published an ordinance that temporarily suspended face-to-face activities at Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Despite this and other measures, the number of cases and deaths in Brazil has, so far, increased exponentially, a fact that impacts the health and educational authorities, due to the exceptionality imposed on the development of teaching activities. In view of this context, the present study aimed to measure the frequency of the Flu Syndrome in medical students from Mato Grosso do Sul during the Covid-19 pandemic period, in order to propose resolutions for conducting academic activities. A descriptive, observational and cross-sectional study carried out among students enrolled in medical courses in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. The data were obtained through a semi-structured questionnaire, online and based on the Google Forms platform. Descriptive results were prepared automatically, from the platform itself. Result: 371 responses were computed. Approximately 50% had flu-like symptoms, the most common of which were runny nose, nasal obstruction and cough. Among the diagnoses reported, the most described was rhinosinusitis, with 7 participants presenting Covid-19. It was possible to measure the condition of flu-like syndrome among medical students in this state, seeking to provide support and possible basis for decision-making by the coordinators of medical courses in Mato Grosso do Sul regarding the referral of academic activities. Keywords: Coronavirus; SARS-CoV-2; Students, Medical; Disease Notification; Prevalence. Resumo A infecção causada pelo novo Coronavírus (SARS-COV-2) causa quadro clínico variável. Devido à sua alta transmissibilidade, decretou-se estado de pandemia pela Covid-19. Diante disto, no Brasil, o Ministério da Educação (MEC) publicou portaria que suspendeu, temporariamente, as atividades presenciais nas Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES). Apesar desta e de outras medidas, o número de casos e óbitos no Brasil continua, até o momento, aumentando de forma exponencial, fato que impacta as autoridades sanitárias e educacionais, pela excepcionalidade imposta no desenvolvimento das atividades de ensino. Em face deste contexto, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo mensurar a frequência da Síndrome Gripal em acadêmicos de medicina do Mato Grosso do Sul durante o período da pandemia da Covid-19, para assim, propor resoluções para condução das atividades acadêmicas. Um estudo descritivo, observacional e transversal, realizado entre estudantes matriculados nos cursos de medicina do estado de Mato Grosso do Sul. Os dados foram obtidos por questionário semiestruturado, online e assentado na plataforma Google Forms. Os resultados descritivos foram elaborados automaticamente, a partir da própria plataforma. Computou-se 371 respostas. Aproximadamente 50% apresentaram algum sintoma gripal, sendo os mais comuns: coriza, obstrução nasal e tosse. Entre os diagnósticos informados, o mais descrito foi rinossinusite, sendo que 7 participantes apresentaram Covid-19. Foi possível mensurar o quadro de síndrome gripal, entre estudantes de medicina neste estado, buscando proporcionar apoio e eventual embasamento para a tomada de decisões das coordenações dos cursos de medicina do Mato Grosso do Sul quanto aos encaminhamentos das atividades acadêmicas. Palavras-chave: Coronavirus; SARS-CoV-2; Estudantes de medicina; Notificação de Doenças; Prevalência.
