Cerebrovascular diseases mortality in young adults in the state of São Paulo

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.

Objetivo: Avaliar o perfil epidemiológico e impacto na qualidade de vida dos pacientes portadores de verrugas anogenitais. Métodos: Trata-se de estudo transversal prospectivo realizado no Ambulatório de Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis do Hospital da Santa Casa de São Paulo no período de janeiro de 2015 a dezembro de 2017. Para avaliação do impacto na qualidade de vida foi aplicado um questionário específico para condiloma acuminado, que analisa o impacto na esfera emocional e sexual, e comparou-se seus resultados ao número e tempo de lesões apresentadas pelos pacientes do sexo masculino. Resultados: Foram avaliados o perfil epidemiológico de 48 pacientes, destes 23 pacientes responderam o questionário e demonstraram terem sido afetados na dimensão emocional e/ou sexual pelas suas lesões. Ao se correlacionar o número de lesões de condilomas aos resultados de impacto emocional, impacto sexual e impacto geral não se observou relação estatisticamente significante (p= 0,298, p=0,297 e p=0,230 respectivamente). Ao se correlacionar o tempo de lesão apresentada pelos pacientes ao impacto nas esferas emocional, sexual e geral houve uma relação inversa significativa com p<0,05, apresentando correlação moderada pelo método de análise de Pearson com p=0,039 na esfera emocional, p=0,009 na esfera sexual e p=0,010 na esfera global. Conclusões: A presença de condilomas anogenitais interfere na qualidade de vida de seus portadores, afetando tanto a esfera emocional quanto sexual. Notou-se também que pacientes com impacto na qualidade de vida pela presença de condilomas tendem a buscar auxílio médico mais rapidamente, enquanto pacientes com baixo impacto nas esferas sexual e emocional demoram mais tempo a procurar tratamento médico.Descritores: Papillomaviridae, Condiloma acuminado, Perfil de impacto da doença, Indicadores de qualidade de vida Abstract Objective: To evaluate the epidemiological profile and impact on the quality of life of patients with anogenital warts. Methods: This is a prospective cross-sectional study conducted at the Ambulatory of Sexually Transmitted Infections at Santa Casa de São Paulo Hospital from January 2015 to December 2017. To evaluate the impact on quality of life, a specific questionnaire was used for condyloma acuminata, which analyzes the impact in the emotional and sexual sphere, and compared its results to the number and time of lesions presented by the patients. Results: The epidemiological profile of 48 patients was evaluated; 23 of these patients answered the questionnaire and were affected in the emotional and / or sexual dimension by their lesions. When correlating the number of condyloma lesions to the results of emotional impact, sexual impact and general impact, no statistically significant relationship was observed (p = 0.298, p = 0.297 and p = 0.230, respectively). When correlating the time of condyloma presented by the patients to the impact in the emotional, sexual and general spheres, there was a significant inverse relationship with p <0.05, presenting a moderate correlation with the Pearson analysis method with p = 0.039 in the emotional sphere, p = 0.009 in the sexual sphere and p = 0.010 in the global sphere. Conclusions: The presence of anogenital condylomas interferes in the quality of life of the patients, affecting both the emotional and sexual spheres. It was also noted that patients with impact on quality of life due to the presence of condylomata tend to seek medical help more quickly, while patients with low impact in the sexual and emotional spheres take more time to seek medical treatment.Key Words: Papillomaviridae, Condylomata acuminata, Sickness impact profile, Indicators of quality of life

Abstract Background: The irregular routine of truck drivers favors the development of chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), especially cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), which can be exacerbated by the use of illicit drugs. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with data from 2,071 truck drivers who traveled through the state of São Paulo between 2010 and 2016. Socioeconomic and occupational variables, risk factors for CVD, use of illicit drugs were analyzed. Clinical and toxicological tests were also carried out. Results: The average age of the truck drivers was 42.27 ± 11.07 years, and the use of illicit drugs, at least once while working, was reported or detected in 388 (18.7%) drivers. Compared to non-users, drug users were younger (37.25 ± 9.45 vs. 43.43 ± 11.1 years; p <0.001) and single (43.3% vs. 28.4%; p <0.001). The independent variables age [OR = 0.93 (95% CI: 0.91 - 0.95; p<0.001)], smoking [OR = 2.18 (95% CI: 1.39 - 3.44; p = 0.001)], alcohol consumption [OR = 1.626 (95% CI: 1.06 - 2.49; p = 0.026)] and hours of driving per day [OR = 1.08 (95% CI: 1.01 - 1.15; p = 0.012)] were also associated with the use of illicit drugs. Conclusion: The use of illicit drugs was higher in young and single drivers and was associated with a higher prevalence of smoking, alcohol consumption and more driving hours, which are risk factors for NCDs, CVD and traffic accidents.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of air pollution on birth weight in a medium-sized town in the State of São Paulo, Southeast Brazil.METHODS: Cross-sectional study using data from live births of mothers residing in São José dos Campos from 2005 to 2009. Data was obtained from the Department of Information and Computing of the Brazilian Unified Health System. Air pollutant data (PM10, SO2, and O3) and daily averages of their concentrations were obtained from the Environmental Sanitation & Technology Company. Statistical analysis was performed by linear and logistic regressions using the Excel and STATA v.7 software programs.RESULTS: Maternal exposure to air pollutants was not associated with low birth weight, with the exception of exposure to SO2 within the last month of pregnancy (OR=1.25; 95% CI=1.00-1.56). Maternal exposure to PM10 and SO2 during the last month of pregnancy led to lower weight at birth (0.28g and 3.15g, respectively) for each 1mg/m3 increase in the concentration of these pollutants, but without statistical significance.CONCLUSIONS: This study failed to identify a statistically significant association between the levels of air pollutants and birth weight, with the exception of exposure to SO2 within the last month of pregnancy.

Background: Cerebrovascular diseases (CBVD) constitutes the second leading cause of death worldwide. Among the risk factors that can contribute to the pathology, the modifiable factors are related to lifestyle habits and the unmodifiable to gender, age and race. The proper management of these factors reduces the susceptibility of the person dying. Thus, it’s valuable to have this knowledge, once the identification and control provides the primary prevention. Objectives: Expose the epidemiological profile of deaths by CBVD in the population in 2019. Design and setting: Quantitative study, descriptive and observational, with data obtained in the Mortality Information System. Methods: Analysis of deaths due to CBVD in the state of São Paulo (SP) according to age range, gender and race. Results: The number of deaths by DBVD in 2019 in the state of SP were 21.716; according to gender, 51,0% were male patients, and 49,0% female. Regarding the age range, they all showed deaths by CBVD, the age group most affected, with 36,1% of deaths, were over 80 years old. Furthermore, the mortality of people with 60 years or more, represented 81,9% of the cases. The caucasion race had the highest number of deaths by DBVD with 68,0%, followed by mixed race with 20,8% and black race with 8,0%. Conclusions: The knowledgment of the epidemiological profile of deaths caused by CBVD in the state of SP is important, especially for identifying risk factors, planning and executing preventive actions, aiming to reduce the frequency of complications and deaths.
