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.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is the second cause of death by tumor in the world. In Brazil, the survival rate of patients with GC is only five years, due to the low rates of early diagnosis, with about 10 to 15% of the cases. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the factors associated with mortality in CG patients treated at a reference hospital. Method: The study was carried out based on the survey of 96 medical records of patients diagnosed with GC, whose analyzed data were: sex, age, educational level, occupation (socioeconomic level), and risk factors, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, family history of cancer, staging and type of treatment adopted, among other variables. Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS-PC) and Kaplan-Meier for survival analysis. Absolute and relative frequencies were calculated for all variables. Results: The sample consisted mainly of male patients with stable union, brown-colored, who lived in the metropolitan region and presented low schooling. In addition, risk factors such as smoking and alcoholism presented a high prevalence in the sample. Regarding mortality, factors such as arterial hypertension (p = 0.1581), diabetes (p = 0.3212), and alcohol consumption (p = 0.6704) were not associated with increased mortality in this study.Conclusion: The clinical and epidemiological profile of patients with GC presented a low degree of tumor differentiation, with predominance of the mixed or unclassifiable subtype. In addition, the majority of the sample was composed of patients living in the metropolitan region and the main form of treatment adopted was surgical intervention in combination with chemotherapy.

Objective: to investigate the epidemiological profile of hospital infections acquired in the Intensive Care Unit of a reference hospital in the Northeast. Methods: This is a descriptive, prospective data collection study carried out in two adult intensive care units of a general hospital and teaching hospital. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire. Results: Among the participants, there was a predominance of females and of the age group comprising young adults and married. All patients underwent at least one type of invasive procedure, with nasogastric probe and bladder catheterization being the most prevalent. Respiratory tract infection was the most prevalent (66.7%) among the total number of infections. Attention is also drawn to the high rates of urinary tract infection (45.8%) and bloodstream infection (15.8%). Conclusion: Respiratory tract infection is the main infectious topography in the hospital environment.

The present study took into account not only Plasmodium falciparum infections that are commonly advocated as the main cause of severe malaria, but the complications related to Plasmodium vivax have been carefully described. The objective of this article was to identify the epidemiological, clinical and laboratory profile of severe malaria in patients attended at the Child and Adolescent Hospital in Macapá – Amapá. An epidemiological study, descriptive of retrospective character, was carried out. Data were obtained by consulting data bank for the year 2016. Severe malaria was considered in 47 cases. There were predominant male patients with 63.8% and the age group up to 5 years with 59.6% of the cases. As to the species, the most frequent infections were P. vivax with 72% in relation to P. falciparum with 28% of cases. The months with the greatest number of hospitalizations were September and November, both with 17%. The main clinical manifestations were: fever, pallor and cough. The conditions that indicated gravity that most occurred: vomiting 87%, jaundice 23%, dyspnoea and age <1 year both with 21%. Haematological examinations showed that 91% of the patients had red blood cells below the reference values and 100% of the cases had low hemoglobin and hematocrit; thrombocytopenia was observed in 72% of the cases. Altered results of biochemical dosages of major clinical importance were: urea, transaminases, glycyme and C-reactive protein. The identification of epidemiological, clinical and laboratory data of severe malaria contributes to the early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of the disease.

A cross sectional study was carried out on intestinal ascariasis, which is a helminth of fecal peril that colonizes the digestive tract with the possibility of complications in organs such as the intestines, liver, lungs and even the brain. The study was carried out at the General Reference Hospital of Kinshasa where medical records were used to collect data and the study period was from January 2016 and December 2017. The findings show females (61.19%) are predominant than males (38.80%), and the gender sex ratio (M/F) was 0.63. The incidence was high in June 2016 and November 2017 are the most affected months by Ascariasis in our study with 7 cases or 18.98% and 6 cases or 20% for each year. The age group between 31 - 40 years of age predominated by the attack of this parasitic affection with the extreme ages of 8 months and 75 years. The incidence varied with a peak in June with 7 cases or 18.98%. A variable incidence with a peak in November with 6 cases or 20%.

RESUMOObjetivo: analisar o perfil epidemiológico do vômito em caso de Trauma Cranioencefálico leve infantil em um Hospital de Referência.  Método: trata-se de estudo quantitativo, descritivo, transversal, com análise documental em prontuários, determinando-se a amostra por conveniência. Dividiram-se, na análise das variáveis, os dados em: 1ª parte voltada aos dados socioeconômicos e a 2ª parte, aos dados do trauma com o vômito, por meio de um questionário. Armazenaram-se e analisaram-se os dados com o auxílio do software Microsoft Excel 2013, e se apresentaram em forma de tabelas. Resultados: obteve-se o total de 121 pacientes, com prevalência masculina, de um ano de idade e com queda. Encontrou-se o total de 379 vômitos, apresentando um vômito, no mínimo. Informa-se que não foram utilizados antieméticos em 83,47% dos casos. Conclusão: constataram-se a falta de administração de antieméticos e a escassez de estudos sobre vômito como sintoma principal do TCE leve infantil, proporcionando novas pesquisas.
