Epidemiological Profile

Diante de poucos estudos referentes à epidemiologia dos casos de violência contra crianças e adolescentes praticados no país, com resultados ainda menores ao se restringir ao Estado de Minas Gerais se faz necessário explorar esse fenômeno e suas características. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar o perfil epidemiológico dos casos de violência praticados contra a população infantil e juvenil do Estado de Minas Gerais, entre os anos de 2007 e 2017. A metodologia utilizada foi um estudo descritivo, a partir de dados secundários obtidos do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN). A partir da análise de dados, foram registradas 693.495 notificações de casos de violência contra crianças e adolescentes no período relatado, sendo que 3.600 (0,51%) desses evoluíram para óbito. As vítimas foram, predominantemente, do sexo feminino com 421.715 (60,81%), negras 304.296 (43,87%), na faixa etária de 15 a 19 anos com 256.612 (37,0%), com baixa escolaridade 196.914 (28,4%). Foi observado o predomínio da violência física em 332.369 (47,93%), praticada por familiar em 268.857 (38,76%), com relato de uso de álcool em 98.563 (14,21%). Assim, este estudo realça a necessidade de maior atenção a essa população vulnerável e de estabelecimento de ações efetivas no combate a esse tipo de violência.   Palavras-chave: Brasil. Epidemiologia. Violência. Criança. Adolescente. Vigilância em Saúde.     Abstract Considering the small number of studies found regarding the violence epidemiology against children and adolescents practiced in the country, with even smaller results when restricting the search to the state of Minas Gerais (MG), it proved necessary to explore this phenomenon and its characteristics. The present study aims to analyze the violence epidemiological profile against the child and youth occurrences in MG, between the years 2007 and 2017. The methodology used was a descriptive study, based on secondary data obtained from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN). Taking the data analysis into account, 693,495 notifications of violence against children and adolescents occurrences were recorded in the reported period, of which 3,600 (0.51%) led to death. The victims were predominantly female, representing 421,715 (60.81%) of them, 304,296 (43.87%) were black, 256,612 (37.0%) were aged between 15 and 19 years old and 196,914 (28.4 %) had low education. There was a predominance of physical violence in 332,369 (47.93%) of the cases, 268,857 (38.76%) were practiced by a relative, with reports of alcohol use in 98,563 (14.21%) occurrences. Thus, this study highlights the urge for greater attention to this vulnerable population and for the establishment of effective actions to combat this sort of violence.   Keywords: Brazil.

Patients with paranoia have always been an attractive and redoubtable group of mentally ill to mental health professionals. In fact, beyond complex psychopathology and relatively better functioning, these patients do represent a real threat to themselves and their presumed persecutors.ObjectivesTo explore criminological aspects of medicolegal acts committed by patients with paranoia.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective and descriptive study, based on medical charts consult. Were included, patients suffering from paranoia (persistent delusional disorder: jealous/persecutory/erotomania type, DSM-IV), hospitalized in the forensic psychiatry department of Razi hospital between 1995 and 2015. This psychiatry department provides medical care for male patients not held by reason of insanity, according to article 38 of the Tunisian Criminal Code. Patients’ socio-demographic characteristics were collected as well as criminological details of their acts of violence (victim, weapon type, crime scene, premeditation…).ResultsWe collected 23 patients. Delusional disorder types were: jealousy (17), persecution (4), erotomania (1) and claim (1). The majority was married (18), undereducated (17), with irregular work (13). Forensic acts were uxoricide (15), attempted murder (5), violence against people (2) and destruction of public properties (1). Patients used bladed weapon in most of the cases (13), in the victim's residence (19), with premeditation in (17) of the crimes. Nine patients reported their act of violence to the authorities.ConclusionOur results do expose further data concerning potential dangerosity of patients with delusional disorders, and by that invites mental health professionals to prevent these acts with screening for violence predictors and risk factors.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Objetivo: Determinar a prevalência de lesões benignas e neoplasia gástrica através do estudo de biópsias realizadas em um Hospital Escola do Sul de Minas Gerais, no período entre 2007 e 2011. Materiais e Métodos: A pesquisa documental foi quantitativa e retrospectiva, baseada na análise dos registros de biópsias e prontuários. Realizou-se o levantamento de dados referentes à idade, gênero, cor, profissão, diagnóstico histopatológico e presença de Helicobacter pylori nas amostras. Resultados: O número total de biópsias gástricas analisadas foi de 1225, cujo perfil populacional encontrado foi: idade média de 56,75 anos, sexo masculino (52%), cor branca (81,9 %), aposentado (30%). Os diagnósticos mais frequentes foram: gastrites (71,9%), pólipos (14,2%), adenocarcinomas (5,9%), úlceras gástricas (6%), linfomas (0,4%), sem alterações (0,4%) e outros (1,2%). Em outros, encontram-se achados de malignidade, metaplasia e xantelasma gástrico. Em relação à presença de Helicobacter pylori nas amostras, o resultado encontrado foi de24% positivas, 46% negativas e 30% não pesquisadas. Conclusão: Os resultados confirmam a alta frequência das doenças gástricas e sua incidência nas diversas faixas etárias, além do envolvimento do H. pylori em tais afecções. É de grande importância a caracterização dos dados epidemiológicos, o que permite prováveis direcionamentos para programas de prevenção e informação para a população. Palavras-chave: biópsia gástrica, gastropatia, perfil epidemiológico.  ABSTRACTObjective: To determine the prevalence of benign lesions and gastric cancer through study of biopsies performed at a school hospital in southern Minas Gerais, in the period between 2007 and 2011.Materials and Methods: The research was quantitative and retrospective, based on analysis of biopsies records and medical records.
