Factores obstétricos asociados con el nacimiento de bebés prematuros moderados y tardíos / Fatores obstétricos associados ao nascimento de bebês prematuros moderados e tardíos / Obstetric factors associated with birth of moderate and late premature babies

OBJETIVO: Analizar las variables obstétricas asociadas con el nacimiento de bebés prematuros moderados y tardíos en una ciudad de la región sur de Brasil. MÉTODO: Estudio transversal que analizó las variables obstétricas de 151 recién nacidos prematuros moderados y tardíos desde mayo de 2016 hasta mayo de 2017 que residen en Santa Maria/RS. Los datos fueron recolectados, por medio de un instrumento específico, diariamente, y posteriormente analizados de manera descriptiva y por comparación de frecuencia y correlación. RESULTADOS: La gemelaridad (14,6%) fue la característica más frecuente entre los tardíos, en comparación con el grupo de moderados (p = 0,019). Los otros factores no mostraron diferencias significativas. El mayor número de partos prematuros anteriores tiene una correlación significativa con la menor edad gestacional al nacer (IC = -0.522, p = 0.008). CONCLUSIÓN: Para los dos grupos de recién nacidos prematuros estudiados, los motivos no mostraron ninguna diferencia significativa, lo que sugiere homogeneidad con respecto a los motivos obstétricos para el parto prematuro

OBJECTIVE: To analyze obstetric variables associated with the birth of moderate and late premature babies in a city in the southern region of Brazil. METHOD: Cross-sectional study that analyzed the obstetric variables of 151 moderate and late preterm infants from May 2016 to May 2017 resident in Santa Maria/RS. Data were collected by means of their own instrument daily, and subsequently analyzed descriptively and by comparison of frequency and correlation. RESULTS: Twinning (14.6%) was the most frequent feature among late twins when compared to the moderate group (p = 0.019). The other factors showed no significant difference. The higher number of previous premature births has a significant correlation with the lower gestational age at birth (CI = -0.522, p = 0.008). CONCLUSION: For the two groups of premature infants studied, the reasons did not present significant difference, which suggests homogeneity regarding the obstetric reasons for early birth

The body donation program at the Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre: a successful experience in Brazil.

The use of dissection to study human anatomy is the foundation for educational excellence among future health professionals, as it offers an ideal opportunity to learn the body's morphology in three dimensions while also providing students with a more humanistic education. The shortage of bodies for dissection, combined with the Brazilian population's lack of knowledge concerning the possibility of voluntarily donating their own bodies, led to the creation of the Body Donation Programs for Education and Research in Anatomy at the Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre (UFCSPA). The program is based on three pillars: Informing the general public about the program, donor registration, and donation itself. Since the creation of the donor program in 2008, there has been an increase in both the number of donations made during donor's lifetime and the number of bodies received by the university. There has also been a shift in relation to the origin of these bodies, as before the creation of the program most bodies were unclaimed cadavers, while today most of the bodies are sourced from voluntary donations. The initial results regarding the public's acceptance of the possibility of making body donations have been encouraging, as shown by the annual growth in donor registrations. Consequently, the quality and quantity of the material available for educational purposes have greatly improved.
