Introduction: Covid-19 is a disease caused by the SARSCOV-2 virus. The first cases emerged in December 2019 in China and evolved into a global pandemic since 2020. In those infected, the clinical picture of the disease can range from mild or asymptomatic symptoms to severe forms with complications. It was found that during pregnancy there is a greater risk of maternal complications, especially when it occurs in the last trimester of pregnancy and puerperium, with an increase in cases of maternal death. Goal: To review the most prevalent possible gestational and neonatal complications in those infected with SARS-COV-2. Methodology: This is a systematic literature review with articles published in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciElo), Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences (Lilacs) databases published in the period between February 2020 and December 2021, with the descriptors: "pregnant women", "neonates" and "SARS-CoV-2, with their translations into English, joined through the Boolean operator "AND" in the advanced search. Original publications were chosen. Results/Discussion: data were obtained from 2243 patients, all pregnant and with a confirmed diagnosis of SARSCoV-2. The most reported symptoms were: fever, cough, dyspnea and sore throat. A high prevalence of cesarean deliveries was found. Preterm birth was the most common obstetric complication, followed by PRMO. Significant percentages of neonates evolved with some type of respiratory disorder and died. Conclusion: the most prevalent clinical manifestations in pregnant women with COVID-19 were similar to those found in pregnant women without the infection; high percentages of obstetric and neonatal complications and cesarean deliveries have been described after COVID-19 infection.
Anxiety can be a positive indicator of facing challenges, or represent a set of typical signs and symptoms of mental illness. While in the first case, it aims to benefit the process of adaptation to new living conditions; in the second, it marks a dysfunctional process in some contexts, impacting the quality of life of individuals and requiring a special look at the transdiagnostic scope. According to the World Health Organization, Brazil ranks first in the world when it comes to Anxiety Disorder. The Ministry of Health shows an increase of 86.5% in the proportion of anxiety in the Brazilian population. Such elements legitimize the relevance of research on anxiety and possible existing managements that present evidence in their treatments. In the scenario of low response of therapeutic resources offered to the health community as possible managements for pathological anxiety, such as drug treatment and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the present work aimed to investigate the state of the art of treatment alternatives for such a construct, offering a legacy of useful information for future/current interested students and even professionals in the area. The results pointed to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a promising alternative treatment for anxiety. The method aims to create strategies to deal with the sufferings arising from them, culminating in the reduction of their signs and symptoms. Furthermore, it proved to be substantially effective and feasible in the online modality, with minimal adverse effects and with the potential to offer evidence-based treatment for many patients.

Background: Intracranial trauma (IT) is an injury inside of the cranial box resulting from external forces, usually caused by automotive accidents, falls and violence, sometimes leading to permanent damage or death. Objectives: Describe hospital admissions for IT in the metropolitan region of São Paulo (SP), based on ICD-10 morbidity list. Design and settings: Epidemiological, descriptive and retrospective study. Methods: Data provided from the Hospital Morbidity System (SIH-SUS) of the Ministry of Health, from January 2015 to December 2020. Results: There were 65.455 cases of hospitalizations by IT registered in the metropolitan region of SP, which surpassed the cases of the North and Midwest regions. In 2020, there was a 5% reduction in cases compared to 2019. The amount spent represented 10.5% of the total spent in Brazil. Most of the hospitalization patients were male, and the most affected age group was 40- 49 years. The lethality was 11.05% and higher in patients over 80 years-old. Conclusions: It is essential to control IT’s causing factors, since it engenders high costs, and it is a serious problem for the public health and economy, and for the victim’s psychosocial context. The metropolitan region of SP requires special attention, once it shows higher rates of hospitalizations, morbidity, and mortality than any other brazilian state. Despite the social isolation in 2020, there were no significant differences between this year’s records comparing to the other ones.
