Introduction: During tha Sars-Cov-2 pandemic the focus was the COVID-19, but what about other disease? In this way, our study shows what happen to the arbovirus’s notifications. Objective: Analyze the record of notifications of arboviruses during the Sars-Cov-2 pandemic in 2020 in Brazil and compared with notifications occurred in between 2015 to 2020. Methods: Through a descriptive and epidemiological study, the data was collected in DATASUS BRASIL, INMET and CPTEC databases. Results: The drop in the notification of arbovirus cases in 2020 was proven, linked to the predominance of compulsory notifications of Dengue in the first half of 2020; this data confirms the seasonality of the occurrence of dengue. Similarly, Zika virus cases had a higher percentage of notifications in the first half of the year, contrasting with previous data. In addition to the persistence of the highest incidence of cases in the early months of 2020, Chikungunya notifications showed a constant percentage incident from 2017 to 2019, data on rainfall from 2015 to 2019 indicated low levels in the month of January compared to previous years, while in the month of 2020 a considerable increase of precipitation anomalies. Conclusion: Compared to previous years, the data show a considerable drop in arbovirus reports during the period of the Sars-Cov-2 pandemic in 2020. To establish more clearly the correlation between low arbovirus reporting and the COVID pandemic -19 it is necessary to carry out further studies.
As cirurgias videolaparoscópicas possuem várias vantagens, tais como, menor risco de desenvolverem complicações como infecções e redução do tempo de recuperação do paciente, da incidência e redução da dor pós-operatória e, por isso, ganharam grande espaço na medicina moderna 2 . Sua prática durante o curso de habilidades cirúrgicas na graduação acadêmica de medicina é de extrema relevância ao preparar os estudantes para futuras atividades realizadas em estágios, internato e residência médica. Contudo, o treino das habilidades de cirurgias videolaparoscópicas não é uma realidade em todas as
Objective: The objectives of this review are to ascertain the diseases that result in palliative care in neonates in NICU and whether such care can ease the suffering of the child or the family. Methods: This is a narrative and descriptive literature review carried out in MEDLINE, PUBMED, VHL, and LILACS BVS databases during November 2020 to May 2021. Descriptors used are “Intensive Care Units,” “Ethics,” “Palliative Care,” and “Newborn,” which are related to Boolean descriptor “AND.” Articles published in English and within the last five years were included in this article. Results: The respiratory diseases and distress, prematurity, congenital abnormalities, and patients at risk of neurological injury represents some of the reasons to refer the patient to the ICU. Beyond that, the three most life-timing complex chronic conditions are neurological, neuromuscular, and cardiovascular diseases. The research emphasizes that the relief in the neonatal ICU is an important factor, in this way, palliative care should be focused mostly on the patient. Conclusion: To date, palliative care is appropriate from the moment when a serious diagnosis is made, otherwise it requires the creation of a protocol that guides patients to healthcare professionals. Regardless, to improve the life quality of the neonates during development, their care must be maintained at all moments of the therapeutic intervention.
A coarctação de aorta (CoA) é uma cardiopatia congênita que se define por um estreitamento da aorta, com altas taxas de morbidade e mortalidade. Os procedimentos de tratamento disponíveis incluem cirurgia e dilatação de balão endovascular com ou sem colocação de stent. O atual manejo endovascular da doença da aorta torácica conseguiu diminuir a mortalidade de 40% para 14%. METODOLOGIA: Foi realizada a busca por literaturas nas bases de dados MEDLINE/PubMed, LILACS e SciELO. Utilizou-se o recorte temporal entre os anos de 2011 e 2021 e os descritores "Coarctação Aórtica", "Procedimentos Endovasculares" e "Terapêutica". Foram selecionados artigos que melhor se encaixavam na busca. RESULTADOS: O tratamento endovascular reduziu significativamente a morbidade intra-hospitalar e pós-operatória quando comparado a outras técnicas de tratamento.
