Producción de sentidos sobre asistencia transespecífica en salud, derechos y ciudadanía trans* / Production of meanings in trans-specific assistance for health, rights, and trans* citizenship / Produção de sentidos na assistência transespecífica em saúde, direitos e cidadania trans*

En este artículo discutiremos el proceso de producción de sentidos sobre la asistencia transespecífica en salud y su relación con los derechos y la ciudadanía trans*, lo que desarrollamos a partir del diálogo con 11 personas, entre usuarias/os, médicas/os y funcionarias/os de un servicio de atención a personas trans* en una capital en la región Sur de Brasil. Se realizaron entrevistas con las/os participantes, y el análisis de la información se efectuó a partir de la problematización recursiva. Los resultados se organizan en torno a dos tramas de sentidos. Por un lado, se analizan la significación y la potencia de las demandas realizadas por las personas trans* al campo de la asistencia transespecífica en salud, apuntando su relación con una ética comprometida con lo que es excluido por los regímenes de verdad y con la garantía de nuevos flujos de inteligibilidad. Por otro, se analizan las exigencias para constituir un espacio de atención en salud para personas trans* como un ámbito de concretización de la ciudadanía trans*, que supone garantizarse no solo por el acceso al sector de la salud, sino también por las características de la oferta, su formalización, manutención e institucionalización del cuidado a las personas trans*.(AU)

In this article we discuss the process of production of meanings around trans-specific health care and its relationship with trans* rights and citizenship, which we develop from a dialogue with 11 people, between users, doctors, and employees of a health service for trans* people located in a capital city in southern Brazil. We interviewed the participants and the analyzed the information based on recursive problematization. The results are organized around two webs of meanings. On the one hand, we analyze the significance and power of the demands made by trans* people in the field of trans-specific health care, pointing out their relationship with an ethic committed to what is excluded by the regimes of truth and with the guarantee of new streams of intelligibility. On the other hand, we analyze the requirements for the constitution of the health care space for trans* people as an area of concretization of trans* citizenship, which is meant to be assured not only by access to the health sector, but also by the characteristics of the offer, its formalization, the maintenance and the institutionalization of care for trans* people.(AU)

Neste artigo, discutimos o processo de produção de sentidos na assistência transespecífica em saúde e sua relação com os direitos e a cidadania trans*, a partir do diálogo com 11 pessoas, entre usuários(as), médicos(as) e funcionários(as) de um serviço de atenção em saúde para pessoas trans* localizado em uma capital de estado do Sul do Brasil. Os(as) participantes foram entrevistados(as) e essas informações foram analisadas a partir da problematização recursiva. Os resultados organizam-se em torno de duas tramas de sentidos. Por um lado, analisa-se o significado e a potência das demandas das pessoas trans* no campo da assistência transespecífica em saúde, apontando sua relação com uma ética comprometida com o que é excluído pelos regimes de verdade e com a garantia de novos fluxos de inteligibilidade. Por outro lado, analisa-se os requisitos para a constituição do espaço de atenção em saúde para as pessoas trans* como um âmbito para a concretização da cidadania trans*, que se supõe garantir não apenas pelo acesso ao setor da saúde, mas também pelas características da oferta, sua formalização, a manutenção e a institucionalização do cuidado às pessoas trans*.(AU)

Caracterización clínica e imagenológica de una serie de pacientes con disección de arterias cervicales e intracraneales / Cervicocranial arterial dissection: experience in 57 patients

Background: Cervicocranial arterial dissection (CIAD) is an important cause of stroke. Aim: To describe the clinical and imaging characteristics of patients with CIAD. Material and Methods: An anonymous registry was made including all patients admitted to a private hospital with a diagnosis of CIAD. Patients were subdivided as having an anterior or posterior circulation dissection (ACD or PCD, respectively). Results: Fifty-seven patients aged 40 ± 8 years (60% women) were included in the study, 39 with PCD and 18 with ACD. Cervical pain was the most common symptom. CIAD was diagnosed with no clinical or imaging signs of stroke in 49% of patients. Fifty one percent of patients had focal neurological deficits and 72% had a NIH stroke score below five. No significant differences between patients with ACD or PCD were found. Fifty patients received antiplatelet therapy (simple or dual), seven patients were anticoagulated and 13 were subjected to stenting due to progression of stenosis with hemodynamic involvement or bilateral dissection with scarce collaterals. The lesion was located in V3 segment in 27 patients and cervical segment of the internal carotid in 16 cases. A favorable Modified Rankin Scale (0-2) was achieved in 85.9%, with a trend towards achieving better functional prognosis in PCD. Conclusions: Due to the greater availability of non-invasive imaging methods, 50% of these patients with CIAD did not have a stroke. Thus, an earlier and more timely management is feasible.
