Objetivo: Levantar y analizar el perfil de los pacientes con cáncer gástrico matriculados en el Instituto Nacional del Cáncer José de Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA), y los diagnósticos de Enfermería más prevalentes.Metodología: Estudio seccional desarrollado en el Hospital de Cáncer I - INCA aprobado por el CEP-INCA, con muestra de datos secundarios de 649 pacientes admitidos entre el 1 de octubre de 2015 al 18 de abril de 2018. Los datos fueron analizados por el software R® - versión 3.4.4. En las pruebas Chi-cuadrado, Kruskal-Wallis y Wilcoxon. Se adoptó el nivel de significancia del 5%.Resultados: El promedio de edad fue de 62.74 años, variando de 21 años hasta 96 años. 35.29% de los pacientes presentaban enfermedad avanzada. El adenocarcinoma poco diferenciado fue el más prevalente (42.52%). Había células en anillo de sello en el 32.05% de los pacientes. Se destacó el tipo difuso (17.72%). Hubo predominio del compromiso del tercio medio del estómago (29.74%). Las pruebas de hipótesis demostraron que las variables de estadificación frente a la muerte y el color frente a la defunción mantienen una relación de dependencia. Las variables edad versus óbito y edad versus presencia de anillo de Sinete tienen distribución diferente entre sí, lo que significa que la primera variable puede influenciar la segunda. Los diagnósticos de enfermería más prevalentes estuvieron presentes en el 100% de la muestra y se encontraban en congruencia con el perfil de la clientela identificada.Conclusión: El perfil epidemiológico de una población es de gran valor para orientar las políticas de salud de un país, para la planificación interna institucional y para orientar las acciones asistenciales de los equipos multiprofesionales. Objective: Search and analyze the profile of patients with gastric cancer enrolled in the National Cancer Institute, José de Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA), and the most prevalent nursing diagnoses.Methodology: A sectional study developed at the Cancer Hospital I - INCA, approved by CEP-INCA, with a sample of secondary data from 649 patients admitted from October 1, 2015 to April 18, 2018. Data were analyzed by R® software - version 3.4 .4. In the Chi-square, Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon tests. The level of significance of 5% was adopted.Results: The average age was 62.74 years, ranging from 21 years to 96 years. 35.29% of patients had advanced disease. Low adenocarcinoma was the most prevalent (42.52%). Signal ring cells were present in 32.05% of the patients. The diffuse type was highlighted (17.72%). There was predominance of involvement of the middle third of the stomach (29.74%). Hypothesis tests have shown that the staging versus death and color versus death variables maintain a relationship of dependence. The variables age versus death and age versus the presence of the Sinete ring present a distinct distribution among them, which means that the first variable can influence the second. The most prevalent nursing diagnoses were present in 100% of the sample and were in congruence with the profile of the clientele identified.Conclusion: The epidemiological profile of a population is of great value to guide the health policies of a country, to the internal institutional planning and to guide the assistance actions of the multiprofessional teams.

Objective: the aim of this study was to analyze possible associations between the epidemiological variables of the study and the clinical stage and malignancy grade of squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) of the oral cavity and oropharynx, and to evaluate whether there is a correlation between clinical stage and histological grade in SCCs. Material and Methods: retrospective analytical study of SCCs cases diagnosed between June 2005 and December 2013. The data from medical records and histopathological findings of patients over 18 years old were entered into an Excel® spreadsheet and analyzed by SPSS® 20, using the chi-square and Fisher's exact tests to analyse the variables. The level of significance of the tests was 0.05. Results: patients were predominantly black, male, illiterate, in their sixth decade of life, living in country towns and exposed to tobacco and alcohol. There was also predominance of advanced-stage tongue lesions with high-grade malignancy treated with combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment. There was association between exposure to alcohol with advanced stage at diagnosis (p=<0.001). Conclusion: association of alcohol consumption with more advanced lesions at diagnosis underscores the need to address the risk factors more emphatically. Although classic factors implicated in the course of oral and oropharyngeal SCC have been observed, it is remarkable the high frequency of illiterate patients coming from country towns, which could have hampered the access to health care and contributed to a delayed diagnosis and thus, to a poorer prognosis.

Epidemiological Profile

Malaria is a tropical disease caused by protozoa of the genus Plasmodium (Aconoidasida: Haemosporida: Plasmodiidae). The Brazilian Amazon is the area with the highest risk of malaria transmission in the country. The aim of this study was to trace the epidemiological profile of malaria patients between 2010 and 2015, in the Municipality of Marabá, State of Pará, North Brazil. Secondary data were used, of Sivep-malaria of the Municipal Health Department of the municipality. The variables analyzed were the incidence autochthonous or imported cases, genus, species of the causative parasite infection during pregnancy and parasitic annual index. Data analysis used the Chi-Square Test, in the Biostat 5.0. The annual parasitic index (IPA) of malaria cases in Marabá in 2010 was 3.7, followed by the year of 2011 with 2.7, from the year 2012 the IPA drops sharply to 0.68, followed by the years 2013, 2014 and 2015, which presented an IPA of 0.1, 0.07 and 0.01 respectively. Data on the contamination site revealed that 51% of the cases in the period studied were of imported origin and 49% were autochthonous, and there was no significant statistical difference between the years. Males were the most affected by the disease (67%). The most common parasitic species was Plasmodium vivax. Malaria cases have been reduced over the years, and this is due to several factors, such as better access to the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, to the control of the vectors, and to the constant work of epidemiological surveillance, although underreporting is still a great problem in the measurement of the actual numbers of cases.
