ABSTRACT

RESUMO A pandemia da Covid-19 produziu novas demandas por serviços nos sistemas de saúde no mundo inteiro. No Brasil, o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) passou a ser objeto do interesse dos meios de comunicação, que realizaram esforços de cobertura das ações governamentais e da capacidade do sistema no controle da pandemia. Este estudo objetiva analisar matérias do jornal 'Folha de São Paulo' (FSP), quanto aos sentidos produzidos sobre o SUS na pandemia de Covid-19. Foram analisadas 231 matérias, dentre as 524 publicadas no período de janeiro a maio de 2020, obedecendo aos critérios de inclusão estabelecidos. O corpus foi categorizado em quatro sentidos: SUS constitucional, SUS problema, SUS em disputa e SUS atuante. A diversidade de sentidos atribuídos ao SUS aponta a necessidade da ampliação de captura das dimensões do SUS.


ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic has produced new demands for services in healthcare systems around the world. In Brazil, the SUS became the object of interest of the media, which made efforts to cover government actions and the system's capacity to control the pandemic. This study aims to analyze articles from the newspaper 'Folha de São Paulo' (FSP), regarding the meanings produced about the Unified Health System (SUS) in the COVID-19 pandemic. 231 articles were analyzed, among the 524 published in the period from January to May 2020, following the established inclusion criteria. The corpus was categorized in four senses: constitutional SUS, problem SUS, disputed SUS and active SUS. The reflection on the diversity of meanings attributed to the SUS points to the need to expand the capture of the dimensions of the SUS.

ABSTRACT

Background Fungal spondylodiscitis is not common but should be suspected in some cases. Candida tropicalis infections are being more frequently diagnosed due to some factors related to the microorganism. Case Description A C. tropicalis spondylodiscitis is described in a 72-year-old man who was treated with a combination of echinocandin (micafungin) and surgery. Conclusion The presence of some risk factors should promptly raise the suspicion of fungal spondylodiscitis. Treatment should be instituted as early as possible for the best outcome for the patient.

ABSTRACT

Spasticity is amotor disorder that leads to a resistance to passive jointmovement. Cerebral palsy is the most important cause of spasticity and can be caused by several factors, including multiple gestations, alcoholism, infections, hemorrhages, drowning, and traumatic brain injuries, among others. There aremany scales that help tomeasure andmonitor the degree of impairment of these patients. The initial treatment should focus on the causal factor, such as tumors, inflammation, degenerative diseases, hydrocephalus, etc. Subsequently, the treatment of spastic musculature includes oral or intrathecal myorelaxants, spinal cord electrostimulation, neurotomies, Lissauer tract lesion, dentatotomy and selective dorsal rhizotomy. The latter is a safetechnique, possibleto beperformed inmost centers with neurosurgical support, and it is effective in the treatment of severe spasticity. In this article, the authors describe the surgical technique and conduct a review the literature.

ABSTRACT

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common oncological diseases. Chemotherapy is usually recommended as an adjuvant treatment for stage-II, -III, and -IV tumors. Approximately 10% of the patients develop neuropathic pain after chemotherapy, and they may remain refractory despite the administration of drugs that are commonly used to treat neuropathic pain. Spinal cord stimulation is a good treatment option for neuropathic pain of the lower limbs, and it should be trialed in patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. We report the case of a patient with oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy and neuropathic pain refractory to oral medication who was successfully treated by spinal cord stimulation.

ABSTRACT

A hidradenite supurativa (HS) é uma doença inflamatória crônica da pele caracterizada por apresentar nodulações subcutâneas, dolorosas e com sinais flogísticos, inicialmente enrijecidas e que evoluem para consistência amolecida. Ocorre em 1 a 4% da população mundial. A sua etiologia ainda é pouco conhecida, sugere-se que aconteça devido à oclusão do ducto apócrino dos folículos pilosos por fatores precipitantes como fricção de tecido adiposo, higiene precária, entre outras. Seu diagnóstico é eminentemente clínico, pela identificação de lesões típicas recorrentes em forma de nodularidades, abcessos, tratos fistulosos ou cicatrizes. Não há testes patognomônicos. Sua evolução é variável e de difícil manejo, o qual pode ser feito com terapia tópica, sistêmica ou por exérese cirúrgica. Este trabalho revisa a avaliação por imagem da hidroadenite supurativa e demonstra imagens de um caso avaliado por ressonância magnética. A avaliação por exames de imagem, apesar de pouco específica para firmar diagnóstico, é muito útil na determinação da extensão da doença, assim como na exclusão de diagnósticos diferenciais, destacando-se o papel da ressonância magnética na avaliação das lesões anogenitais, com potencial de reduzir recorrências.


Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by painful deep-seated skin nodules with phlogistic signs, which are initially hard and progress to have a soft consistency. It occurs in 1­4% of the world population. Etiology of HS is still poorly understood and is suggested to occur due to occlusion of the apocrine duct of the hair follicles by triggering factors such as friction of the adipose tissue and poor hygiene, among others. Diagnosis is eminently clinical, through the identification of typical recurrent lesions that include nodules, abscesses, sinus tracts, or scars. There are no pathognomonic tests used to confirm its presence. Progression is variable and difficult to manage, which can be done with topical or systemic therapy or surgical excision. This work reviews the imaging assessment of HS and shows images of a case assessed by magnetic resonance imaging. Imaging assessment, although not specific enough for a diagnosis, is useful to determine the extent of the disease and to exclude differential diagnoses. Moreover, magnetic resonance imaging has an important role in the assessment of anogenital lesions and a potential to reduce recurrences.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar a prevalência de fatores de risco para doença cardiovascular em profissionais de saúde no ambiente de trabalho. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo descrito transversal, envolvendo os profissionais do Hospital Municipal Doutor Munir Rafful, que responderam a um questionário, e foram submetidos à avaliação clínica de peso, altura, pressão arterial e avaliação bioquímica do colesterol total. Foi calculada a porcentagem e feita a análise dos resultados. Resultados: Do total de 210 profissionais habilitados, 188 foram avaliados, sendo 57 homens e 131 mulheres. As prevalências dos fatores de risco cardiovascular foram: sedentarismo (83,5 por cento), etilismo (35,6 por cento), hipertensão arterial (22,9 por cento), obesidade (20,2 por cento), tabagismo (19,7 por cento), colesterol maior que 200mg/dl(10,6 por cento). Conclusão: A detecção de índices elevados dos fatores de risco para doenças cardiovasculares em profissionais de saúde é bastante preocupante, visto que servem de exemplo à sociedade, e apontam a necessidade de medidas para promoção da saúde e prevenção de doenças cardiovasculares.
