ABSTRACT Objective: analyze the insertion of the nurse midwife in a teaching hospital in Rio de Janeiro State. Method: descriptive, exploratory study of qualitative nature, study case type, carried out in a maternity in the mountain region, with nine healthcare professionals and six managers. The data collection occurred from December 2016 to March 2017, by semi-structured interviews that subsequently transcribed and submitted to content analysis in the thematic modality. Results: difficulties were observed for the insertion of the nurse midwife such as: lack of specialist nurses in the delivery room; absence of space for the professional autonomy; political partisans influence in the health management; acting conflict with the obstetricians; no team support, mainly with regard to workers qualification. Conclusion: this study shows the need for direct insertion of the nurse midwife in delivery and birth, especially valuing humanized care and autonomy for professional practice.

AbstractSettingThe State of Rio de Janeiro stands out as having the second highest incidence and the highest mortality rate due to TB in Brazil. This study aims at identifying the factors associated with the unfavourable treatment of MDR/XDR-TB patients in that State.MethodData on 2269 MDR-TB cases reported in 2000-2016 in Rio de Janeiro State were collected from the Tuberculosis Surveillance System. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were run to estimate the factors associated with unfavourable outcomes (failure, default, and death) and, specifically, default and death.ResultsThe proportion of unfavourable outcomes was 41.9% among MDR-TB and 81.5% among XDR-TB. Having less than 8 years of schooling, and being an Afro-Brazilian, under 40 years old and drug user were associated with unfavourable outcome and default. Bilateral disease, HIV positive, and comorbidities were associated with death. XDR-TB cases had a 4.7-fold higher odds of an unfavourable outcome, with 29.3% of such cases being in the first treatment for multidrug resistance.ConclusionAbout 30% of XDR-TB cases may have occurred by primary transmission. The high rates of failure and death in this category reflect the limitation of treatment options. This highlights the urgency to incorporate new drugs in the treatment.

BACKGROUND: Brazil ranks 14th worldwide in the number of TB cases and 19th in terms of TB-HIV co-infected cases. This study aims at identifying clinical and demographic factors associated with unsuccessful treatment outcomes (loss to follow-up, treatment failure and death) of HIV-positive patients with multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil.METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of MDR-TB cases notified from 2000 to 2016 in RJ. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to assess risk factors associated with unsuccessful treatment in HIV-positive patients with MDR-TB.RESULTS: Among 2,269 patients, 156 (6.9%) were HIV-positive and had a higher proportion of unsuccessful treatment outcomes (52.6%) than HIV-negative cases (43.7%). All HIV-positive cases with extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) had unsuccessful treatment outcomes. Multivariate analysis shows that previous MDR-TB treatment (HR 1.97, 95% CI 1.22–3.18) and illicit drugs use (HR 1.68, 95% CI 1.01–2.78) were associated with a greater hazard of unsuccessful treatment outcomes, while 6-month culture conversion (HR 0.48, 95% CI 0.27–0.84) and use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) (HR 0.51, 95% CI 0.32–0.80) were predictors of reduced risk.CONCLUSIONS: Unsuccessful treatment was higher among HIV patients with MDR-TB than among HIV-negative patients. Prompt initiation of ART and effective interventions are necessary to improve treatment adherence and prevent retreatment cases.

Objetivo: identificar as características clínicas e sociodemográficas das pacientes portadoras de cardiomiopatia periparto em unidade cardiointensiva de um hospital universitário no Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Método: estudo quantitativo, transversal, de análise documental em cinco prontuários, entre janeiro de 2014 a dezembro de 2016, obedecendo aos critérios preestabelecidos de inclusão e exclusão e iniciado após aprovação do Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa. Os dados foram coletados mediante um formulário próprio, tabulados em planilhas eletrônicas e analisados através de estatística descritiva simples. Resultados: houve predominância de idade entre 26-35 anos – 4 (80%), multíparas, etnia parda, internação para pós-operatório de parto cesárea – 4 (80%), internação inferior a 2 semanas 4 (80%). Dentre os problemas de enfermagem encontrados, estão o débito cardíaco diminuído e padrão respiratório ineficaz. Conclusão: divulgar as características sociodemográficas e clínicas dessa clientela pode ajudar a delimitar alguns problemas de enfermagem representativos nessa população.ABSTRACTObjective: to identify the clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy in a cardiac intensive care unit of a university hospital in Rio de Janeiro State. Method: this quantitative, cross-sectional, documentary analysis studied five medical records, between January 2014 and December 2016, according to pre-established inclusion and exclusion criteria, after approval by the research ethics committee. Data were collected using a specific form, tabulated in electronic spreadsheets, and analyzed by simple descriptive statistics. Results: subjects were aged predominantly 26-35 years (4; 80%), multiparous, skin color brown, admitted for caesarean section postoperative care (4; 80%), and for less than 2 weeks (4; 80%). The nursing problems encountered included decreased cardiac output and ineffective respiratory pattern. Conclusion: disclosure of this clientele’s sociodemographic and clinical characteristics can help to delimit some representative nursing problems in this population.RESUMENObjetivo: identificar las características clínicas y sociodemográficas de las pacientes portadoras cardiomiopatía periparto en una unidad de cuidados intensivos coronarios de un hospital universitario en el Estado de Río de Janeiro.

We studied and compared parameters of the snake community of the Serra do Mendanha, Rio de Janeiro State, southeastern Brazil (22º 48'-22º 51' S and 43º 31'-43º 28' W), such as: abundance distribution, richness, species diversity and biomass, between forested areas, areas under regeneration and agriculture areas (banana plantations); to obtain information about the natural history and facilitate the development of future research. For capturing the snakes we used: pitfall traps, drift-fences and visual search (diurnal and nocturnal) along four transects for each habitat. The captured snakes were measured with a tape and caliper, weighed with dynamometers and sexed with the use of a catheter. The animals marked (with ventral scales cut) were released for posterior recapture. One individual per species was fixed and deposited at the Museu Nacional, Rio de Janeiro. We undertook an effort of 840 man/hour, and captured a total of 207 snakes belonging to 25 species (Colubridae 80.2%, Elapidae 12.6%, Viperidae 6.3% and Boidae 0.9%). The most abundant were: Liophis miliaris (n = 33), Micrurus corallinus and Chironius fuscus (both with n = 26); the least abundant: Elapomorphus quinquelineatus, Siphlophis compressus and Tropidodryas serra (all with n = 1). The species that contributed the greatest biomass were Spilotes pullatus (7,925 g), Chironius laevicollis (4,694 g), Liophis miliaris (3,675 g) and Pseustes sulphureus (3,050 g); those that contributed the lowest biomass were: Siphlophis compressus, Tropidodryas serra (both with 4 g) and Elapomorphus quinquelineatus (3 g). We found significant differences between the sampled habitats at the Serra do Mendanha (undisturbed forest, secondary forest and banana plantations). The results showed that a great reduction in the abundance, richness, diversity and biomass of the snakes occurs when the native forest is replaced by banana plantations.
