Interventions of Brazil's more doctors program through continuing education for Primary Health Care.

Introduction: Brazil's More Doctors Program, in its training axis, aims to improve medical training for Primary Health Care through interventions related to the reality of the territory. The research presented here analyzed the interventions implemented by Brazil's More Doctors Program physicians, members of the Family Health Continuing Education Program, and the relationship with Primary Health Care programmatic actions. Methodology: The research conducted made use of Text and Data Mining and content analysis. In total, 2,159 reports of interventions from 942 final papers were analyzed. The analysis process was composed of the formation of the corpus; exploration of the materials through text mining; and analysis of the results by inference and interpretation. Results: It was observed that 57% of the physicians worked in the Northeast Region, which was also the region with the most interventions (66.8%). From the analysis of the bigrams, trigrams, and quadrigrams, four constructs were formed: "women's health," "child health," "chronic non-communicable diseases," and "mental health." Terms related to improving access, quality of care, teamwork, and reception were also present among the N-grams. Discussion: The interventions carried out are under the programmatic actions recommended by the Brazilian Ministry of Health for Primary Health Care, also addressing cross-cutting aspects such as Reception, Teamwork, Access Improvement, and Quality of Care, which suggests that the training experience in the Family Health Continuing Education Program reflects on the way these professionals act.

O câncer bucal no estado do rio grande do norte: um estudo ecológico / Oral Cancer in the state of Rio Grande do Norte: an ecological study / Cáncer Oral en el estado de RíoGrande do Norte: un estudio ecológico

Introdução:As neoplasias malignas ocupam o segundo lugar em causa de mortalidade no Brasil. Embora o país detenha grande número de dentistas em relação aos outros países, estudos apontam que o diagnóstico é feito tardiamente, levando assim, o câncer de boca como o oitavo câncer mais letal. Objetivo:Descrever a epidemiologia do câncer bucal no estado do Rio Grande do Norte. Método:Estudo epidemiológico descritivo do tipo ecológico realizado a partir dos casos diagnosticados de câncer bucal nos anos de 2000 a 2014. Resultados:Foram notificados 1.198 casos, sendo 714 óbitos; a região da língua e base de língua foi a mais acometida (33,63%), com predominância de 63,18% do sexo masculino. Conclusões:O câncer bucal está ganhando destaque e estudos como este poderão subsidiar a proposição de políticas públicas e o planejamento de ações mais efetivas, para o diagnóstico precoce e o tratamento nos estágios iniciais da doença (AU).
