Effect of prenatal care quality on the risk of low birth weight, preterm birth and vertical transmission of HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis
Background Averse birth-outcomes still affect newborns worldwide. Although high-quality prenatal care is the main strategy to prevent these outcomes, the effect of prenatal care based on Kotelchuck index combined with consultation contents is still unclear. Thus, this article to evaluate the effect of the quality of prenatal care (PC) process on birth indicators in a cohort of puerperaes who attended maternity hospitals in Brazilian western Amazo…

Biomonitoring of Exposure to Metals in a Population Residing in an Industrial Area in Brazil
This preliminary HBM study demonstrates feasibility for the total population, with results indicating representativeness of the target population
Cancer incidence in indigenous populations of Western Amazon, Brazil
Cervical, stomach, and liver cancers corresponded to 52% of the cases and were highly incident among the Brazilian indigenous population of Western Amazon compared to non-indigenous counterparts. Despite the low frequency of breast and prostate cancer, the fact they were present among indigenous peoples suggests a complex epidemiological transition framework in these populations
Histórico social, demográfico e de saúde dos povos indígenas do estado do Acre, Brasil
A trajetória histórica vivenciada pelos povos indígenas no Brasil coadunou numa complexa situação social que se estende com precariedade e evidentes disparidades traduzidas em pior perfil de pobreza, escolaridade e de saúde em relação a outros segmentos da sociedade nacional. As políticas de saúde direcionadas para os povos indígenas não conseguiram até a atualidade superar as lacunas do cuidado especializado, persistindo a atenção fragmentada e …

Clinical and evolving features of women diagnosed with precancerous cervical lesions, screened and treated in the Amazon region of Brazil
The objective of the study was to determine the dynamics of precancerous lesions in women of a cohort treated for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and followed up over the next two years. The conditional probability of failure was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the raw and adjusted hazard ratios (HR) were determined using Cox regression with a p-value entry of < 0.05. Of the 237 women who were treated, 51.5% were accompanie…

Sistemas de informação oficiais de meningite criptocócica, estado do Rio de Janeiro
O objetivo do estudo foi comparar o perfil epidemiológico de meningite criptocócica em diferentes sistemas de informação, avaliando assim em que medida aquele disponível no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação refletiria as ocorrências da meningite criptocócica no estado do Rio de Janeiro, de 2000 a 2004. O banco do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação foi comparado com um novo banco composto pelos casos de meningite criptoc…
Quality of reporting on birth defects in birth certificates
The aim of this study was to evaluate the coverage, validity and reliability of Brazil's Information System on Live Births (SINASC) for birth defects in a hospital in the city of Campinas (São Paulo State). The study population consisted of 2,823 newborn infants delivered in 2004 at the Women's Integrated Health Care Center (CAISM). A birth defect registry (ECLAMC) was used as the gold-standard. All birth defect cases reported at CAISM in 2004 (9…
Lesões intra-epiteliais cervicais em adolescentes
A freqüência das lesões precursoras do câncer cervical vem crescendo entre a população de adolescentes, possivelmente, em conseqüência da diminuição da idade de início da vida sexual e do aumento no número de parceiros sexuais. Com o objetivo de analisar o comportamento das lesões precursoras do câncer cérvico-uterino entre adolescentes do Município do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, estudou-se, de forma retrospectiva, 1.516.407 exames citológicos proven…
Cryptococcal meningitis in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, 1994-2004
The objective of this article was to evaluate the epidemiology of cryptococcal meningitis in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, from 1994 to 2004. Six hundred and ninety-six cases of cryptococcal meningitis were reported, with a mean incidence of 0.45 per 100,000 inhabitants. Patients were predominantly male; mean age was 35.9 years; AIDS was practically the only underlying disease, reported in 61.2% of cases; case-fatality was 51.8%. No decline in in…
Human reproductive system disturbances and pesticide exposure in Brazil
The observation of reproductive disturbances in humans and in the wildlife has been reported in the last decade in different countries. Exposure to different chemicals possibly acting in the endocrine system or endocrine disruptors, including pesticides, has been a hypothesis raised to explain the observed changes. This paper aimed to present results of an epidemiological ecologic study carried out to explore population data on pesticides exposur…
Cancer cluster among young Indian adults living near power transmission lines in Bom Jesus do Tocantins, Pará, Brazil
A case study was carried out to explore the occurrence of a cancer cluster in 1992 among young indian adults living in an Amazonian village near two 500 kV power transmission lines that began operating a decade ago. Current blood levels of DDT and organophosphorus pesticides and metal levels in hair samples were measured. Extremely low magnetic field exposure was determined during current daily activities carried out by the Indian villagers. Taki…
Programa de tratamento integral de pacientes crônicos do Hospital de Clinicas da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro
O estudo sobre redundância de hospitalização, baseado no conceito de dependência aos cuidados de enfermagem, evidenciou que, em 99 pacientes que permaneceram 25 ou mais dias internados, foram redundantes em algum momento da internação, representando um desperdício de 1094 leitos-dia (30,17% do total de leitos-dia consumidos por este grupo de pacientes) . Estudou-se, também, um grupo de 102 pacientes com acompanhados durante uma semana, identifica…
