Introdução: O pâncreas ectópico (PE) consiste em uma malformação congênita, considerada rara, definida como a presença de um tecido pancreático fora da sua localização topográfica habitual, com sistema ductal e vascularização independente. A grande maioria dos casos de PE são assintomáticos, porém quando o paciente é sintomático, pode manifestar-se através de hemorragias, inflamações, obstruções de estruturas anatômicas adjacentes, complicações como a pancreatite e transformações malignas como o adenocarcinoma. Objetivo: Sendo assim, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi de realizar uma revisão a respeito de casos de ectopia pancreática e pancreatite associada a pâncreas ectópico, bem como abordagem diagnóstica e terapêutica perante a suspeita dessa enfermidade. Metodologia: Para isso, foi desenvolvido uma revisão integrativa, de estudos que abordam a temática pâncreas ectópico, incluindo abordagem retrospectiva de casos clínicos publicados desde 2009 até 2017. As bases de dados consultadas para esta pesquisa foram: LILACS (Literatura Latino Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde), a biblioteca SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library on Line) e PubMed (National Center for Biotechnology Information - NCBI, U.S. National Library of Medicine), Google acadêmico®. Resultados e discussão: Trata-se de uma doença com incidência aproximada de 0,5%-15% em autópsias e de 1 a cada 500 cirurgias abdominais. Com base em um estudo com 11.265 pacientes verificou-se 24 (0,21%) heterotopias abdominais, das quais a pancreática foi a mais comum (0,12%). Conclusão: Neste sentido, conclui-se que o PE é uma malformação congênita, rara; a maioria dos pacientes possui evolução assintomática, porém, quando presentes, os sintomas são inespecíficos, o que torna o diagnóstico difícil, sendo este realizado através de exames radiológicos, endoscopia do trato digestivo ou através de achados cirúrgicos incidentais. Sugere-se que mais estudos acerca do assunto são necessários para que o paciente seja diagnosticado e tratado rapidamente.
According to the World Health Organization, researchers estimate that the spread of vaccines has allowed worldwide life expectancy to increase by 30 years in the past two centuries. Despite these advances, there are major challenges to be overcome to expand immunization coverage. Currently, the Unified Health System (SUS) offers a total of 19 vaccines that protect against more than 40 diseases free of charge. Therefore, the objective of the study was to study and analyze the current state of Brazilian vaccination in relation to infectious diseases eradicated in the country. For the development of the work, data from the Ministry of Health, published scientific articles in the Google academic, SCIELO and PubMed databases, epidemiological bulletins, as well as relevant studies and reports published on websites and internet portals through the descriptors, vaccination in Brazil, vaccination delay in Brazil, vaccines available in the single system were used (SUS). Through this work, it is concluded that the lack of information in a set of other factors generates the non-vaccination of the population, resulting in the return of previously eradicated diseases.
Arterial hypertension (AH) is a polygenic syndrome and comprises several pathophysiological aspects such as genetic predisposition, where heredity plays a considerable role in the origin of the increase in blood pressure levels. AH is the most frequent disease in Brazilian society, and its exact prevalence is not known throughout the country, and it contributes significantly to a high rate of cardiovascular mortality throughout the country. The evaluation of a patient with AH includes confirmation of the diagnosis, suspicion and identification of a secondary cause, in addition to checking the risk of a cardiovascular attack. Non-adherence to treatment can also be linked to the undesirable effects of antihypertensive drugs, financial barriers, lack of motivation of the patient to treat an asymptomatic disease, long-term treatment, influence on quality of life, inadequate relationship with the health team, among other diverse factors. Thus, the present study aims to search the scientific literature to analyze data on the impact on individual health of patients considered hypertensive who do not adhere to the treatment of arterial hypertension. A bibliographic survey of publications related to studies on arterial hypertension and treatment adherence through the data platform on Google Scholar, Scielo and LILACS was carried out between the years 1990 to 2020. Analyzing the information present in several articles researched in the literature, it is I need to recognize that the patient is not just hypertensive, but consider that he is inserted in a socio-cultural context and that he has his particularities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
