Background: It is scarce in the literature studies regarding treatment and objective analysis of the survival chances of burned patients. Some investigations indicates the need for obtaining specific data to the population studied and characteristics such as social condition and nutritional status are suggested to be relevant to the patient's evolution. We aimed to describe the mortality of a Treatment Center Burn Unit (BU) in Brazil. Methods:We analyzed 76 burned victims hospitalized with a fatal outcome in the General Hospital of São Matheus in 10 years (1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009). The following collected data were investigated were: age, sex, period of permanence, body surface burned (BSB), degree of burns, the causal agent, inhalation injury, nature of the event, clinical complications, mortality and survival rates. Results:We observed predominantly male and the median age was 44 years old. The highest incidence was on June. The mean body surface area burned was 40%, and upper limbs, the most affected region. The causative agents involved were more flammable agents and fire. Pulmonary infection was the most frequent clinical complication. The mortality found in this center was 4.9%. The subgroup of suicide were predominantly female and the mortality rate was 22.44%. When studying survival rate, patients with inhalation injury and trauma were associated with shorter survival. Patients with sepsis remained alive for longer. Conclusion:The clinical, epidemiological and survival of patients with burns, enables the design of peculiar characteristics of this trauma in the studied area, thus, from these data, charts be established treatment and prognostic estimates, and assist in developing preventive public health policy more effective.

“…Research should be implemented to give visibility to situations like these, however, while in Brazil the scientific production has been increasing significantly increase with the proper training of health professionals who work with research in project management. [23,24] It is known that there are several limitations in this study. The largest proportion of non-leisure for sport practitioners found in this study may indicate an inverse association between related injuries and not playing sports, because you can not establish causality due to the absence of temporality and monitoring of cross-sectional studies.…”

Introduction: The association between previous injury and the risk of re-injury has been widely studied, however still there are limited studies about the prevalence and distribution of the injuries associated to rupture of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) mainly focused on people who plays sports for leisure or to improve their quality of life.Objective: To identify the prevalence of concomitant injuries with rupture of ACL and its association with sex, age and practice of sports for leisure. Methods:Cross-sectional study of clinical base. It was analyzed the data of clinical records and demographic information of 807 individuals who underwent ACL reconstruction surgery in a clinic specializing in orthopedics knees in Santo André, São Paulo, Brazil. Results:The prevalence of concomitant injuries with the ACL injury was 57.9%. The meniscus injuries were the main concomitant injuries found. It is observed a trend of concomitant injuries with ACL rupture in males (59.2%) and in individuals who do not practice recreational sports (58.9%). Individuals who had concomitant lesions had higher median age (37%, 95% CI 36-39) compared to individuals diagnosed with isolated ACL rupture.

“…For this reason, in 2009, in a pioneering way, the Ministry of Health of Brazil recommended in its publications, the "exercises of the muscles of mimicry (facial gymnastics)" considering they can "mitigate and restore aesthetic balance of the face" [5], which confirms the importance and necessity of characterizing the oral sensorimotor of these patients, in order to establish the best treatment plan for rehabilitation [45,46].…”
