Perfil de egressos de residências multiprofissionais em saúde no Rio Grande do Sul / Profile of graduates from multiprofessional health residencies in Rio Grande do Sul / Perfil de los egresados de las residencias multiprofesionales en salud en el Rio Grande do Sul

No Brasil, desde o final dos anos 70, as Residências em Saúde se constituem como uma possibilidade de formação para diferentes profissões da saúde, especialmente no Rio Grande do Sul (RS). Entretanto, somente no início dos anos 2000 a implantação de Programas de Residências Multiprofissionais em Saúde (RMS) é estimulada em âmbito nacional. Este artigo analisa o perfil de 72 profissionais egressos(as), no período de 2005 a 2014, de cinco programas de RMS desenvolvidos no RS. Os(as) participantes da pesquisa responderam a um formulário elaborado no FORMSUS do DATASUS composto de questões fechadas e abertas, analisadas com o uso do Software SPSS v. 18. A análise apresenta o perfil dos(as) egressos(as) participantes considerando as variáveis gênero, raça e cor, idade; cursos de graduação; instituições de graduação; inserção no mundo do trabalho em saúde e avaliação quanto à formação em RMS, apontando a relevância das RMS para a qualificação no trabalho no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS).

In Brazil, since the end of the 1970s, Health Residency Programs have been a training possibility for distinct health careers, especially in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS). However, it was not until the early 2000s that the implementation of these programs was stimulated in the national scope. The participants filled a form on DATASUS FormSUS, and the answers were analyzed by means of SPSS v. 18. This paper analyses the profile of 72 residents who graduated between 2005 and 2014 from five Health Residency Programs developed in the state. The analysis introduces the profile of the graduates considering the following variables: gender; race/skin color; age; undergraduate courses; undergraduate institutions; insertion in the health work world; appraisal of the training developed in the programs, indicating their relevance for the qualification of the work in the National Unified Health System.

Sin embargo, es solamente desde el principio de los años 2000 que se estimula, en ámbito nacional, la implementación del Programa de Residencia Multiprofesional en Salud (RMS). Este artículo produce un análisis del perfil de 72 profesionales egresados, en el periodo de 2005 a 2014, de cinco programas de RMS desarrollados en el Rio Grande del Sul (RS).

Survey of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Enzootic Focus, Spain, 2011-2015.

During 2011-2015, we conducted a Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) survey in captured ticks that were feeding mainly on wild and domestic ungulates in Spain, where presence of this virus had been reported previously. We detected CCHFV RNA in Hyalomma lusitanicum and H. marginatum ticks for 3 of the 5 years. The rate of infected ticks was 2.78% (44/1,579), which was similar to those for other countries in Europe with endemic foci for CCHFV (Kosovo, Bulgaria, and Albania). These data confirm the established spread of CCHFV into western Europe. Phylogenetic study of the small RNA segment showed Africa-3 clade as the only genotype identified, although we observed cocirculation of genetic variants during 2011 and 2015. We could not rule out genetic reassortments because of lack of sequence data for the medium and large RNA segments of the virus genome.

Shigellosis in Subjects with Traveler's Diarrhea Versus Domestically Acquired Diarrhea: Implications for Antimicrobial Therapy and Human Immunodeficiency Virus Surveillance.

An increase of sexually transmitted shigellosis is currently being reported in developed countries. In addition, travel-related shigellosis can introduce resistant strains that could be disseminated within this new scenario. Epidemiological features and antimicrobial susceptibility of shigellosis depending on where infection was acquired were investigated. From 2008 to 2013, subjects with shigellosis were studied. Patients were classified according to acquisition of Shigella as traveler's diarrhea (TD) or domestically acquired diarrhea (DAD). Ninety cases of shigellosis were identified: 76 corresponding to the TD group and 14 to the DAD group. In the DAD group, most of patients were human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive men who have sex with men (MSM), being shigellosis associated to male sex (P = 0.007) and HIV infection (P < 0.0001). S. sonnei (47.8%) and S. flexneri (42.2%) were the predominant species. The highest resistance was detected for trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (SXT) (81.8%), followed by ampicillin (AMP) (37.8%) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) (23.3%). Resistant Shigella strains were more frequent in subjects with TD than those with DAD, although only for CIP the difference was significant (P = 0.034). Continuous monitoring of patients with shigellosis is necessary to control the spread of resistant Shigella strains and for effective therapy. Men with shigellosis who have not traveled to an endemic area should be screened for HIV infection.
