ABSTRACT
Resumo Os aneurismas de aorta abdominal (AAA) são os mais frequentes, mesmo quando comparados a outros segmentos da aorta. A prevalência e a história natural de aneurismas arteriais em receptores de transplante de órgão abdominal permanecem incertas. Relatamos a abordagem de um caso de aneurisma de aorta abdominal em um paciente transplantado renal e com alergia ao contraste. Foi realizado o tratamento convencional do aneurisma de aorta abdominal com um by-pass aorto bi-ilíaco. Para manutenção do enxerto renal, foi confeccionado um by-pass temporário da artéria axilar direita até a artéria ilíaca comum direita. O paciente foi encaminhado para a unidade de terapia intensiva, onde permaneceu estável hemodinamicamente e recebeu alta no 2º pós-operatório. A cirurgia convencional aberta com derivação extra-anatômica temporária é uma alternativa para o tratamento do AAA em pacientes com transplante renal.
Abstract Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are the most common type, even when compared to those involving other segments of the aorta. The prevalence and natural history of arterial aneurysms in abdominal organ transplant recipients remain uncertain. We report a case of abdominal aortic aneurysm in a kidney transplant patient with contrast allergy. Conventional abdominal aortic aneurysm repair was performed, constructing a bi-iliac aortic bypass. A temporary bypass was constructed from the right axillary artery to the right common iliac artery to maintain the renal graft. The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit, where he remained hemodynamically stable, and he was discharged on the 2nd postoperative day. Conventional open surgery with temporary extra-anatomic bypass is an alternative option for treatment of AAA in patients with transplanted kidneys.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Occupational dermatitis affects the quality of life and productivity of workers. Studies on the subject are scarce in Brazil. It is estimated that the disease is underreported and that many affected patients do not seek health care. OBJECTIVES: To conduct an epidemiological analysis of occupational dermatitis notified via SINAN in Brazil from January 2007 to December 2012; evaluate the profile of patients assisted; and check the main etiological agents involved. METHODS: We analyzed the compulsory notification forms of cases of occupational dermatitis filled nationwide during January 2007 to December 2012. RESULTS: During the study period 3027 cases of occupational dermatitis were notified in Brazil. In 61.4% of cases patients were men aged between 35-49 years (39.6%). The most described etiological agent was chromium (13.9%). The location of the body most affected was the hands, with 28.4% of cases. The construction sector is implicated in 28.7% of cases and domestic services by 18%. Allergic contact dermatitis is the most prevalent occupational dermatitis (20.6%) and the region with the highest number of notifications was the Midwest, with 376.4 cases per million inhabitants. CONCLUSIONS: The profile of patients most affected by occupational dermatitis in Brazil during the study period was: men with elementary school, aged between 20 and 49 years old and working in the construction industry. The most common occupational dermatitis were allergic contact dermatitis caused by chromium after years of exposure, being the hands and head the parts of the body most affected.
