Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão bibliográfica acerca das principais características epidemiológicas, clínicas e fisiopatológica da doença de Chagas. Revisão bibliográfica: Foi realizada uma análise bibliográfica nas bases de dados vinculadas à Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Pubmed e Acervo+. A doença de chagas é provocada pelo protozoário Trypanosoma cruzi e é considerada problema de saúde pública e social, pois, é caracterizada como parte da identidade da pobreza e dos maus tratos as condições de saúde, afetando populações em situação de vulnerabilidade, especialmente aquelas com baixa visibilidade e pouca voz política, desencadeando processos de estigma e discriminação. Ademais, é uma afecção que provoca impacto de morbimortalidade importante e é relativamente negligenciada por pesquisadores. ocorre de forma preferencial em homens e em zona rural na faixa etária entre 19 a 59 anos de idade. Considerações finais: Salientamos a importância da educação em saúde para informar a população acerca da transmissão da doença e dos cuidados referentes a prevenção. Ainda, é necessário que novos estudos sejam realizados, especialmente em pacientes idosos maiores de 60 anos de idade, tendo em vista a maior importância da infecção nesta faixa etária associada a comorbidades.
Introduction: In the context of medical school, the development of methodologies that stimulate the students’ search for learning, autonomy and creativity are essential for medical education in Brazil. The study aims to describe the construction of infographics as a pedagogical proposal for the learning of organic human aging processes by medical students. Method: Medical students attending the 4th period at a Higher Education Institution built infographics, as a requirement for the practical content of the Aging Process module. The static-type infographic was adopted, following criteria such as the definition of the target audience; definition of the objective; choice of topic; selection of the most relevant information (focus); direct and accessible language; organized information; choices of color palettes and style and; infographic sketch. The entire creation process was supervised by the teacher in charge of the project, and evaluation criteria were previously established. Results: The class was divided into seven groups, resulting in the production of an infographic with a specific topic per group. The human aging topics were: Degenerative Joint Diseases, Bone Weakness, Pneumonia in the Elderly, Acute Myocardial Infarction, Vascular Dementia, Atherosclerosis and Herpes Zoster. It is worth noting that in addition to the creation, each group presented the final product to the other colleagues, explaining each item included in the static infographic. Conclusions: We observed that the students satisfactorily met the proposed evaluation requirements, demonstrating their involvement in the construction of infographics and, above all, in simple, creative and objective learning, using a powerful visual tool. We also add that the printed material will be used as aid in the histology laboratory and in extramural activities.

A COVID-19 espalhou-se pelo mundo em 2020, tornando-se um problema de saúde pública mundial, responsável pela morte de milhares de pessoas em diversos países, especialmente os pais populosos, como o Brasil. Nessa perspectiva, o Sistema Único de Saúde no âmbito de suas diversas atribuições e complexidades, de modo a garantir o acesso integral e universal a saúde, em seus diversos níveis de atenção, reorganizou os cenários de modo a ofertar e atender às demandas necessárias diante do novo cenário. Objetivo: Avaliar a importância das estratégias de prevenção e condutas dos serviços de Atenção Primária a Saúde no enfrentamento da pandemia da COVID-19. Métodos: Trata-se de uma Revisão Sistemática da literatura e as plataformas literárias utilizadas para a busca dos periódicos foram LILACS e Pubmed. Discussão: A APS torna-se fundamental no controle da transmissão do COVID-19, pois detém de estratégias eficientes de contenção da transmissão, proteção e cuidado. Conclusão: A APS tem grande potencial de dar resolutividade aos casos suspeitos, com síndrome gripal e de manejar quadros leves, de modo a auxiliar na manutenção de leitos livres e diminuição dos custos ao sistema de saúde.
