“…This result suggests the contamination of rivers and streams with untreated sewage. Several outbreaks of acute hepatitis A have been shown to be associated with contact with contaminated water [ 36 , 37 ]. All of these studies demonstrated that the quality of water and how it is regularly used is a major question in hepatitis A transmission, regardless of how exposure to water of poor quality was measured.…”

BackgroundHepatitis A is still a neglected health problem in the world. The most affected areas are the ones with disadvantaged socioeconomic conditions. In Brazil, seroprevalence studies showed that 64.7 % of the general population has antibodies against HAV (hepatitis A virus), and the Amazon region has the highest seroprevalence in the country.MethodsIn the present study the seroprevalence of total HAV antibodies in children between 1 and 5 years old residing in the urban area of Assis Brasil, Acre was measured and spatial distribution of several socioeconomic inequities was evaluated.ResultsIn the year of 2011, seroprevalence rate was 16.66 %. Factors associated with having a positive serology identified by multivariate analysis were being of indigenous ethnicity [adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR) = 3.27, CI 1.45–7.28], usage of water from the public system (aOR = 8.18, CI 1.07–62.53), living in a house not located in a street (aOR = 3.48, CI 1.54–7.87), and child age over 4 years old (aOR = 2.43, CI 1.23–4.79). The distribution of seropositive children was clustered in the eastern part of the city, where several socioeconomic inequities (lack of flushed toilets, lack of piped water inside the household and susceptibility of the household to flooding during rain, low maternal education, having wood or ground floor at home, and not owning a house, lack of piped water at home, and type of drinking water) also clustered.ConclusionsThe findings highlight that sanitation and water treatment still need improvement in the Brazilian Amazon, and that socioeconomic development is warranted in order to decrease this and other infectious diseases.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12879-015-1164-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Conforme os resultados contidos na Tabela 3 e 4, a infecção pelo VHB, no Município de Paragominas, foi mais frequente na faixa etária dos 20-34 anos e não houve ocorrência de infecção na faixa etária <20 anos, assim como em trabalho realizado por Nunes et al (2010), em um hospital no Município de Juriti-Pa. Ainda segundo Nunes et al (2010), a não detecção de portadores do VHB em crianças está relacionada as medidas de controle da infecção.…”

Resumo -O estudo foi de cunho bibliográfico exploratório e investigou a linguagem não verbal, no processo de recrutamento e seleção. No mundo globalizado é nas organizações onde os indivíduos buscam seu sustento, formas de realização e prosperidade. Apesar das organizações serem um fenômeno complexo, sua existência contribui para a sustentabilidade da sociedade. Para que possa ter sustentabilidade se faz necessário recrutar pessoas que contribuam para esta prosperidade. Por isso o empenho atual é a busca de talentos, e é por meio do subsistema de recrutamento e seleção, que isto acontece. As pesquisas demonstram que a comunicação não verbal é a parte mais importante para todos os processos de interação entre as pessoas. No processo de recrutamento e seleção, no momento da entrevista, é o momento mais importante na avaliação da coerência entre o que o se expressa e o que o corpo fala.

Viral hepatitis are widely spread infectious diseases caused by a variety of etiological agents that displays liver tropism as a common characteristic. A descriptive, cross-sectional, observational and retrospective study was conducted through the analysis of viral hepatitis medical records treated and diagnosed from 2010 to 2015. The relationship between the variables were made through the chi-square test. 632 viral hepatitis medical records were analyzed. The highest number of cases happened in 2011. Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection was predominant. The most affected age group was < 20 years and the highest number of cases observed in this age group was related to HAV (p<0.001). The acute clinical form was predominant, with 70.2% of the cases. 92.3% of which corresponded to HAV infection (p<0.001). Most of the cases occurred in the brown race and male gender. Moreover, regarding the probable source/mechanism of infection, the contact with suspicious water/food for hepatitis A cases was highlighted. The sexual form predominated in HBV infection and previous history of blood transfusion in cases of hepatitis C. Most cases were spotted in the mesoregion of Eastern Alagoas, especially in the capital Maceió. It must be observed the importance of knowing the profile of this disease in order to understand its dissemination and thus have subsidies for the creation of actions and strategies to combat the infection.
