Epidemiological and sociodemographic characterization of women and men with cancer in a State in the Brazilian Amazon

Objective: Objective: Analyzes the epidemiological and sociodemographic characterization of women and men with cancer in the State of Rondônia, Western Amazon (Brazil), diagnosed over a period of 2 (two) years. Materials and Methods: It is a documentary, cross-sectional and descriptive study, with the systematization of primary data, according to the methodological model recommended by Paraguassú-Chaves et al [25]. We used an instrument developde by Paraguassu-Chaves et al [26], semi-structured, divided into two blocks: (a) Block I – sociodemographic profile and (b) Block II – epidemiological profile. The Ethics Committee on Human Research at the reference hospital was asked to waive the Informed Consent Form. The research project is in accordance with Resolution 196/96 of the National Health Council of Brazil. Results: Of the 3.333 new cases of cancer, 53.4% were female and 46.5% male. The 10 (ten) most common types of cancer among men and women in Rondônia over a 2-year period were non-melanoma skin (C44), breast (C50), prostate (C61), cervix (C53), stomach (C16), thyroid gland (C73), bronchi and lungs (C33-C34), colon (C18), reticuloendothelial hematopoietic system (C42) and rectal cancer (C20). An age range of 50 to 69 years was predominant in both sexes and patients with low educational level. The highest frequency was for married patients. There was a predominance of brown skin, patients born in the State of Rondônia (22.6%) and agricultural workers. The Unified Health System - SUS was responsible for the entry for treatment of 99.5% of patients. Most patients underwent “other isolated therapeutic procedures” and with the disease in advanced stages. Conclusions: The estimate of new cancer cases in Rondônia follows an increasing trend. The scenarios selected from the variables of the sociodemographic and epidemiological indicators of the research require the public health authorities of Rondônia, urgent redirection of actions and strategies for the prevention, control, assistance and treatment of cancer in women and men in Rondônia.

Objective: to analyze the epidemiological, sociodemographic and clinical profile of men in Rondônia, Western Amazonia (Brazil), diagnosed with the main types of cancer, during a period of 2 (two) years. Materials and Methods: it is an epidemiological, descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative study, with the systematization of primary data according to the methodological model recommended by Paraguassu-Chaves et al [6]. We used an instrument developed by Paraguassu-Chaves et al [5], semi-structured composed of a series of epidemiological, clinical and sociodemographic variables. The research project is in compliance with Resolution 196/96 of the National Health Council of Brazil, taking into account the ethical aspects of research in Brazil. Main results: the 10 (ten) main types of cancer diagnosed by the location of the primary tumor in men were analyzed, corresponding to 1,163 (74.9%) cases of cancer in men, over a period of 2 (two) years. The 10 (ten) most common types of cancer in men were: prostate (30.9%), non-melanoma skin (22.9%), stomach (11.7%), bronchi and lungs (6.7%), colon (5.8%), leukemia (5.8%), esophagus (4.4%), central nervous system (4.2%), rectum (3.9%) and bladder (3.6%). The age group of 50 to 79 years old reaches 76.4% of the 10 main types of cancer in men. They are more frequent in brown (64.6%) and white (28%) men and with low education. 73.2% of men with cancer are married. 44.9% of men with cancer work in agriculture. 45.6% of men with cancer have a family history of cancer. The sum of smokers and ex-smokers reaches a relative frequency of 43.7%. 19.5% consume alcoholic beverages and 17.2% are ex-consumers. In 40.1%, "other isolated therapeutic procedures" were applied in the first treatment. 14.2% of diagnosed patients died from the disease. Conclusions: The scenario of cancer projection in men in Rondônia is worrying and requires an urgent redirection of actions and strategies for cancer prevention, control, assistance and treatment.

RESUMO Objetivo: Este estudo tem como objetivo traçar o perfil epidemiológico dos óbitos por câncer de estômago no estado do Tocantins de 2010 a 2018. Métodos: Estudo epidemiológico de natureza quantitativa, descritiva e transversal. Os dados foram coletados no Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade (SIM) disponível no DATASUS (Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde do Brasil). As variáveis coletadas foram o número total de óbitos, bem como, o sexo, faixa etária e a cor/raça dos indivíduos. Resultados: O número total de óbitos no estado do Tocantins no período em questão foi de 549, sendo o ano de 2017 o que mais apresentou casos, com 87 óbitos. Se levarmos em consideração o sexo das vítimas, podemos observar que houve um predomínio de indivíduos do sexo masculino com 357 óbitos, representando 67% do total de óbitos. No que diz respeito a faixa etária, verificamos uma grande quantidade de casos em pessoas acima de 60 anos, com 362 óbitos (66%), seguidos pela faixa etária de 40 a 59 anos com 157 óbitos (28,5%), 20 a 39 anos com 29 óbitos (5,3%) e abaixo de 20 anos com 1 óbito (0,2%). A média de idade calculada foi de 65,76 anos. Em relação a cor/raça notamos que os pardos lideram as estatísticas com 335 óbitos, correspondendo a 61% do total de óbitos. Conclusão: Levando em consideração o panorama mostrado, nota-se que o perfil epidemiológico dos óbitos por câncer de estômago no Tocantins entre 2010 e 2018 é composto por homens, acima de 60 anos, da raça parda. A erradicação do Helicobacter pylori representa um alvo para a prevenção primária do câncer gástrico. Portanto, representa um importante problema de saúde pública que requer atenção dos gestores públicos para a elaboração de medidas públicas, visando o planejamento dos recursos para a proteção da população tocantinense. Palavras-chave: Neoplasias Gástricas; Perfil de Saúde; Mortalidade. ABSTRACT Objective: This study aims to trace the epidemiological profile of deaths from stomach cancer in the state of Tocantins from 2010 to 2018. Methods: Epidemiological study of quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional nature. Data were collected in the Mortality Information System (SIM) available at DATASUS (Department of Informatics of the Brazilian Unified Health System). The variables collected were the total number of deaths, as well as the sex, age group and color/race of the individuals. Results: The total number of deaths in the state of Tocantins in the period in question was 549, with 2017 having the highest number of cases with 87 deaths. If we take into account the sex of the victims, we can see that there was a predominance of male individuals with 357 deaths, representing 67% of the total deaths. Regarding the age group, we verified a large number of cases in people over 60 years old, with 362 deaths (66%), followed by the age group from 40 to 59 years old with 157 deaths (28.5%), 20 to 39 years old with 29 deaths (5.3%) and under 20 years old with 1 death (0.2%). The average age calculated was 65.76 years. Regarding color/race, we noticed that browns lead the statistics with 335 deaths, corresponding to 61% of the total deaths. Conclusion: Taking into account the panorama shown, it is noted that the epidemiological profile of deaths from stomach cancer in Tocantins between 2010 and 2018 is composed of men, over 60 years old, of the brown race. The eradication of Helicobacter pylori represents a target for the primary prevention of gastric cancer. Therefore, it represents an important public health problem that requires the attention of public managers for the elaboration of public measures, aiming at the planning of resources for the protection of the Tocantins population.

Abstract Papaioannou, E. A., Vafeidis, A. T., Quaas, M. F., and Schmidt, J. O. 2012. The development and use of a spatial database for the determination and characterization of the state of the German Baltic small-scale fishery sector. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 69: . Although substantial progress has been made in the acquisition and analysis of fishery data, the small-scale fishery (SSF) sector is frequently data deficient, with relevant primary data often being fragmented and incomplete. Also, in contrast to the case of the larger scale sector, a coherent methodological framework for the assessment of the SSF has, in most cases, not been formulated. In the present study, the methodology of developing a database for the German Baltic SSF sector is presented. The aim of the database is to combine fishery primary data effectively and enable the sound determination and characterization of the German Baltic SSF sector. Data used include, among others, fleet data derived from the European Community Fleet Register (CFR) database and logbook data from the German Federal Office for Agriculture and Food (BLE). The database includes information on the technical specifications of SSF vessels (length, engine power, etc.); the sector's operational range; main target species; fishing grounds; landing ports; and weight and price of landings. Results of employing the database for profiling the state of the SSF sector (in 2008) are presented. The results demonstrate the benefits of such an approach within the framework of managing coastal fish resources and fishing activities.

Every country institutes policy to take a course of action in favour of its citizens’ welfare. The view of indigenization policy in alignment with employment and workers treatment in Liberia takes different dimension. Liberia problem of unemployment cannot be compared to its underemployment and bad working conditions. The Liberian Indigenous policy has not reaped its fruit with marginalization, exploitation dispossession and poverty in commonplace. This study addresses the ineffectiveness of the indigenous employment policy and the state of workers’ well-being in foreign corporations in Liberia. This study adopts cross sectional method, and employs primary data. Information from 400 employees working with foreign-owned corporation was extracted from survey conducted in 2018 by the authors on the state of welfare of foreign-owned corporations’ employees in Liberia. The key explanatory variables are healthcare, social insurance, safety measures, stable job assignment, stable work hour, promotion on the job, and job security. The binary logistic regression was applied using version 22 of SPSS to examine association between the response and explanatory variables. The outcomes of this study showed that indigenous environmental policy was significant with worker’s well-being (p<0.05). The study concluded that indigenous employment policy has significant influence on the foreign-owned corporation workers’ well-being in Liberia.

Epidemiological Profile

Background: The incidence of Cerebrovascular Diseases (CVD) increases significantly with age, being more frequent in the elderly. For this reason, there are still few studies that describe the epidemiological profile of these pathologies in youn g adults. Methods and Objective: From the data collected prospectively and allocated on the TabNet platform (DataSUS, MS), an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out. As a primary objective, we seek to describe the demographic information most associated with CVD mortality in individuals between 20 and 49 years old, in São Paulo. Results: The year 2011 emerged in relation to mortality, with 1,432 deaths; in the 2010- 2019 period, the average number of deaths (± standard deviation [SD]) was 1,318 (± 61), per year. In this period, the number of deaths was higher in the capital (4,605; 34.9% of the total in the state). The mean deaths (± SD), per year, in the capital and in the interior cities were, respectively: 442 (± 58) and 2.4 (± 6.2). People with schooling from 4 to 7 years old and from 8 to 11 years old were the most affected. The ratio of male deaths to female deaths was 1.05. Conclusion: There is relative stability in relation to mortality per year among young adults in the state of SP, the capital being the city with the highest number of deaths. Male individuals, with a medium level of education were responsible for most of the deaths.

Epidemiological Characterization

Syphilis is a disease caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum, acquired, in large part, by sexual transmission. Congenital syphilis is a contagious disease of vertical transmission (from mother to fetus). This study aimed to present the number of reported cases of congenital syphilis in northern Brazil, between 2014 and 2019, and to characterize the epidemiological profile of the cases. Descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective research was carried out using DATASUS database. There was an increase in the number of cases in the period evaluated, especially the State of Amazonas, which presented the highest number of notifications. Regarding prenatal care, an average of four times more women perform than those who did not. Women with maternal school grade from the 5th to 8th incomplete elementary school had a higher number of cases of the disease. Although the northern region had a high prenatal performance, most cases of congenital syphilis were diagnosed only after delivery, indicating erroneous interpretations regarding the tests and consequent error in diagnosis and treatment. Since the early form (emergence until the 2nd year of life) is the majority of the number of cases, there is a favorable evolution of the disease.Schooling and income seem to be factors that influence the late diagnosis of the disease. There is a need for increased treated partners, reducing the transmission of syphilis and, consequently, congenital syphilis.
