A esquistossomose é uma das principais doenças parasitárias do mundo devido a sua prevalência e consequências econômicas na saúde pública nos locais onde ocorre. As estimativas apontam que 779 milhões de pessoas estão sob risco de infecção e 243 milhões de pessoas necessitaram de tratamento em 2011. No Brasil, a esquistossomose tem sido notificada em Estados do Nordeste, Sudeste e Sul, acometendo aproximadamente seis milhões de indivíduos. No Estado do Paraná se verifica a disseminação de moluscos da família Planorbidae em 102 municípios. O objetivo foi verificar a situação de transmissão da esquistossomose em área urbana do município de Bandeirantes, Paraná. Tratase de um estudo de caráter epidemiológico descritivo, de corte transversal, realizado em duas etapas. Na primeira etapa foi feito um estudo retrospectivo dos casos da doença e, na segunda, foi feita a aplicação de questionário sobre o comportamento das pessoas e das condições sanitárias e ambientais da Vila São Pedro. Nesta etapa, as fezes de 301 habitantes desta vila foram coletadas e examinadas pelo método de Kato-Katz. Constatou-se somente nove (2,99%) indivíduos infectados por Schistosoma mansoni, dos quais dois foram classificados com o grau moderado/alto de infecção. Os resultados mostram que houve redução de casos de esquistossomose no município de Bandeirantes.Palavras-chave: Schistosoma mansoni. Epidemiologia.

Estimates indicate that 779 million people are at risk of infection and 243 million people needed treatment in 2011. In Brazil, schistosomiasis has been reported in northeastern, southeastern and southern states, affecting approximately six million individuals. In the state of Paraná the dissemination of mollusks of the Planorbidae family is found in 102 municipalities. The objective was to verify the status of transmission of schistosomiasis in an urban area of the city of Bandeirantes, Paraná. It is a descriptive epidemiological study ofcross-sectional character, carried out in two stages. In the first stage a retrospective study was done of cases of the disease and in the second a questionnaire was done on the individuals’ behavior, sanitary and environmental conditions of Vila São Pedro. At this stage the feces of 301 inhabitants of this village were collected and examined by the Kato-Katz. It was found only nine (2.99%) individuals infected with Schistosoma mansoni, of which two were classified as moderate / high level of infection. The results showed a significant reduction of schistosomiasis cases in the city of Bandeirantes.Keywords: Infection. Schistosoma mansoni. Epidemiology. Public Health.
This study aimed to address the importance of human anatomy practice, the use of cadavers and new technologies according to student opinions. This is a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study. Data were collected from questionnaires applied in the year 2015 to 173 students enrolled in undergraduate Biological Science and Nursing courses for both levels of the Human Anatomy discipline at the Biological Sciences Center of the State University of Northern Paraná (UENP). The data confirms the relevance of anatomical practices with human parts and corpses for the practical and emotional preparation of future professionals. We conclude that there is an acceptance toward new technologies, although as a complement to using human cadavers. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo abordar la importancia de la práctica de la anatomía humana, el uso de cadáveres y las nuevas tecnologías de acuerdo a las opiniones de los estudiantes. Se trata de un estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo y transversal. Los datos fueron recolectados a partir de cuestionarios aplicados en el año 2015 a 173 estudiantes matriculados en cursos de pregrado Ciencias Biológicas y de enfermería para ambos niveles de la disciplina anatomía humana en el centro de Ciencias Biológicas de la Universidad Estatal del Norte de Paraná (UENP). Los datos confirman la relevancia de las prácticas anatómicas con partes del cuerpo humano y de cadáveres para la preparación práctica y emocional de los futuros profesionales. Llegamos a la conclusión de que hay una aceptación hacia las nuevas tecnologías, aunque como un complemento al uso de cadáveres humanos.
