RESUMEN
Lung transplantation is becoming increasingly more common as an alternative treatment for end-stage lung disease. Despite advances in laboratory testing, surgical technique, and donor/recipient selection, lung transplantation is still associated with significant mortality, due to postoperative complications. This paper consists of a brief review of postoperative complications in lung transplant recipients, illustrating those complications with computed tomography images.
Transplantes pulmonares são procedimentos progressivamente mais realizados em todo o mundo como opção para tratamento de doenças pulmonares em estágio terminal. Apesar dos avanços laboratoriais, da técnica cirúrgica e da seleção de doadores e receptores, a mortalidade nesses procedimentos ainda é significativa, em razão de complicações típicas dos pacientes transplantados. Este trabalho consiste em uma revisão da literatura acerca do tema, ilustrando as complicações abordadas por meio de imagens de tomografia computadorizada.

RESUMEN
To characterize maxillofacial, otorhinolaryngological and oral manifestations of Hansen's disease (HD), we conducted a cross-sectional study in 21 current patients attending the Unidade Básica de Saúde de Jardim América, Espírito Santo, Brazil and 16 former patients resident at Pedro Fontes Hospital using data from computed tomography imaging, rhinoscopy, and oroscopy. Maxillofacial characteristics were compared with 37 controls. Differences in bone alterations across the three groups were determined mainly by severe resorption/atrophy being more frequent in former HD patients, with severe resorption/atrophy of the anterior alveolar process of maxilla in 50.0% (8/16) of former patients, 28.6% (6/21) of current patients and 10.8% (4/37) of controls and of nasal bones and aperture in 31.3% (5/16) of former patients compared with 0/21 current patients and two controls. There were no substantial differences in otorhinolaryngological and oroscopic findings between the two patient groups. HD patients had more tooth loss than the age-matched control group. Maxillofacial, otorhinolaryngological and oroscopic finding scores were strongly correlated only in current HD patients. Correlation between otorhinolaryngological and maxillofacial scores suggests that protocols for HD patient assessment and follow-up could include otorhinolaryngological evaluation, with radiological imaging where necessary, subject to replication of our findings in a larger study.

Este trabalho teve por objetivo conhecer a percepção sobre o adoecimento entre estudantes dos cursos de Enfermagem, Medicina e Odontologia de uma universidade pública por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa. Os acadêmicos participantes da pesquisa foram submetidos a entrevistas guiadas por um roteiro semiestruturado com foco no conceito de adoecimento construído por esses estudantes. As entrevistas transcritas foram organizadas e sistematizadas com auxílio do programa Atlas.ti 6 e submetidas a análise do discurso. Destacaram-se as respostas acerca do conceito de adoecimento que os alunos expressavam antes do curso e o que passaram a considerar após o ingresso na universidade. Além disso, foi feita uma análise comparada dos conceitos de adoecimento expressos pelos entrevistados dos três cursos. Percebeu-se que os acadêmicos tenderam a ampliar suas percepções sobre o processo saúde-doença, acrescentando as dimensões socioeconômica e psicológica à visão biomédica antes estabelecida.
The scope of this study is to provide a better understanding how nursing, medicine and dental students from a state university view the process of falling ill. The study is based on a qualitative approach. Students were interviewed according to a semi-structured script focused on their understanding of the health-illness process. The transcripts of the interviews were organized and systematized using the computer software Atlas.ti 6 and subjected to discourse analysis. Of particular note were the answers about the concept of falling sick expressed by the students prior to the course and how that concept had changed after entering university. Furthermore, a comparative analysis was performed between the concepts expressed by the interviewees from the three courses. It was found that the students had broadened their perceptions of this process, adding socioeconomic and psychological factors to their previously held biomedical understanding.
