Introduction: Anemia is a condition in which the blood's hemoglobin concentration is abnormally low as a result of the lack of one or more essential nutrients. Caused by iron deficiency, this condition can impair the mental and psychomotor development, reduce the individual's work performance, reduce resistance to infection and cause increased maternal and child morbidity and mortality. In pregnant women, the causes for the development of this anemic context are varied and include a nutritional deficiency and hormonal problems related to the menstrual cycle and endometrial and pregnancy complications. Objective: Identifying the factors associated with iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy. Method: This is an integrative literature review. The databases were consulted LILACS and PubMed. It used the descriptors: anemia, iron deficiency anemia, pregnant and pregnancy. The results were obtained through the selection of 06 articles through a detailed reading and then data were organized in frames summaries. Results: Anemia during pregnancy is not caused by an isolated factor and should be treated as a problem of different causes. The factors related to iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy, referred to by the authors were: socioeconomic , with reports in three articles; obstetric, mentioned by five analyzed products; and health indicators in four articles. All the evidence has been proven statistically by multivariate analysis with logistic regression model or linear, except for one study, whose analysis was univariate.

Introduction: propolis is a substance that has aroused the interest of many researchers because of its numerous therapeutic properties, antibacterial and antifungal.Objectives: identifying the species of Candida and evaluate the antifungal effect of red propolis yeast oral cavity.Method: this is a clinical in vitro study with saliva samples collected from 152 patients treated at the dental office of the Family Health Strategy in the city of São Bento-pB. the identification of Candida species was made through the Chrom Ágar Candida. the antifungal activity of the propolis extract was analyzed in four different concentrations: 100%, 75%, 50% and 25%, through the agar diffusion test.Results: the most prevalent species was C. albicans; antifungal action as to the concentration of 25% of the propolis extract was that apparently demonstrated greater efficacy, compared to the highest concentration.Conclusion: the inhibitory effect of propolis against Candida may have been influenced by the concentration of alcohol present in the extract. to test this hypothesis suggests that search is performed with extracts of propolis and at the same time with the alcohol, in both concentrations and different environmental conditions. this study offers subsidies for other professionals employ different methodologies and propolis concentrations with other substances in order to test the antimicrobial action of these.

Introduction:The yeasts of the genus Candida are fungi that can cause an infection called oral candidiasis, when there are conditions that favor their proliferation, as the example of immunosuppression and the bad habits of oral hygiene.Objective: Profile oral health of patients seen in the Dental Office of the Family Health Strategy in São Bentinho-PB; and its relation with the susceptibility for oral candidiasis. Method:The study is exploratory, descriptive, quantitative type, held from May to July 2014, with 152 patients of both genders, dental service users for monitoring/dental treatment. The data were collected in an interview guided by structured script. For treatment of the data SPSS was used, in order to provide the descriptive and analytical statistics; with the application of the X 2 test there were correlated variables: age, gender, schooling and oral hygiene habits. Results:Statistical dependence has been identified between the age and educational level (p = 0.003), age and gender (p = 0.002), age and brushing/day (p = 0.035) and education and brushing/day (p = 0.001); the average age of the participants was 30.29 (± 13.83), the majority were female (77.6%), in oral hygiene conditions evaluated on regular and disabled (86.8%); 82.2% presented caries; most (77.6%) had no use of mouthwash; 4.6% presented signs of oral candidiasis. Conclusion:The sample investigated was exposed to several predisposing factors to Candida infections and, therefore, needs to be intensified the educational actions and oral health promotion aimed at this target population.

Introduction: The changes caused by menopause and the duration of this period in women's lives are of great scientific relevance, and achieving a better understanding of diseases such as diabetes prevalent in the climacteric and the risk factors associated with metabolic and cardiovascular diseases is essential. Objective:To determine the prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in climacteric women, correlating socioeconomic and demographic variables.Method: This is a cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, performed in 14 Family Health Units (USF) in the urban area of the municipality of Cajazeiras/Paraíba, Brazil, with 396 women. Data were collected in interviews using a structured questionnaire, and the variables were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results:There was prevalence of DM in 11.6% (n = 396) of the climacteric women, who had DM as a single disease or associated with other diseases. Regarding the sociodemographic profiles and lifestyles of the diabetic women, it became evident that the 46 participants were on average 52.1 years old; had 5.2 years of formal education and per capita income of 0.7 minimum wage; 43.5% were in paid employment; 65.2% had a fixed partner; 23.9% reported being smokers; 15.2% reported use of alcohol; 73.9% said they were sedentary and 76.1% were overweight/obese.
