“…[19][20][21][22][23][24] Probably contributing to the decline, but with little evidence in the literature, is the reduction in stillbirths associated with uterine hyperstimulation, which occurs in the setting of aggressive attempts at labor induction or augmentation. Folic acid food fortification has reduced some congenital anomaly-associated stillbirths, 25 as has ultrasound screening for anomalies followed by pregnancy termination prior to 20 weeks. 24 Fetal monitoring for distress both in the antepartum and intrapartum periods along with the availability of rapid delivery for fetuses in distress or with conditions, such as placental abruption or eclampsia, usually by cesarean section, also contributed to lower stillbirth rates.…”

“…No que se refere aos cuidados primordiais, evidências revelam que o controle e tratamento de infecções urinárias, HIV, sífilis, malária, verminoses e doença periodontal durante gestação podem reduzir o risco de óbito fetal 7 . Além disso, o diagnóstico precoce, monitoramento e tratamento da hipertensão arterial e do diabetes mellitus, somados ao acompanhamento dos sinais fetais, suplementação alimentar com ácido fólico, ferro, vitamina A, cálcio e magnésio, são evidências de que cuidados médicos podem reduzir o risco da mortalidade perinatal 7,8,9 .…”

Este estudo seccional objetivou verificar a concordância entre as informações prestadas por puérperas e as registradas nos cartões das gestantes sobre assistência pré-natal no Sistema Único de Saúde da Região Metropolitana da Grande Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brasil. Considerou-se uma população de estudo de 1.035 puérperas, entrevistadas em oito maternidades, onde os cartões foram copiados. A representatividade da amostra foi garantida pela estratificação segundo a proporção de nascidos vivos. Informações foram coletadas, processadas e submetidas aos testes de kappa e McNemar. Os níveis de concordância sobre assistência pré-natal foram predominantemente ruins (kappa < 0,20). Puérperas tendem a superestimar a quantidade de consultas pré-natais (McNemar = 51,73; valor de p = 0,001), afirmar doenças gestacionais, como diabetes, anemia, hipertensão e infecções urinárias, relatar a execução de exames laboratoriais e clínicos. Os resultados sugerem uma reflexão sobre dados utilizados para o planejamento de políticas em saúde pública materno-infantil, visto que há variação conforme a fonte de informação.

“…Although the issue is definitely under-researched, systematic review of four studies 9 on the effect of indoor air pollution from biomass cooking smoke on pregnancy showed a 51% increase in risk of stillbirth for pregnant women exposed to the pollutants (Pope et al 2010, Yakoob et al 2009). One study in India showed that women cooking with biomass fuels (wood, animal dung or crop residues) were twice as likely to have experienced two or more stillbirths as those using cleaner fuels, like electricity, liquid petroleum gas, biogas or kerosene (Mishra et al 2005).…”

Forests, women and health: opportunities and challenges for conservation

2011

SUMMARYHealth issues of forest women in developing countries merit more serious attention. This paper reviews existing literature on the interface of women, health and forests to highlight conservation opportunities and challenges. Most women in forests are collectors and users of forest species. However, existing conservation efforts, deforestation, poor health services and household responsibilities can intensify health and safety concerns for forest dependent women. Women are likely to bear the strenuous burden of carrying fuelwood (and other forest products) long distances and inhaling smoke while cooking. The burden of unintended childbearing, diseases and cultural issues can compound their health problems. To improve local livelihoods and environments, some organisations have initiated activities that integrate conservation and human health objectives, including family planning. This article provides project examples, where the involvement of women has been identified as a key component in effectively meeting both conservation and development goals.Keywords: women, human health, forest conservation, fuelwood, integrated projects Forêts, femmes et santé: défis et opportunités pour la conservation M. WAN, C.J.P. COLFER et B. POWELL Les questions de santé des femmes vivant dans la forêt dans les pays en voie de développement méritent une attention sérieuse. Cet article examine la littérature existante sur les questions liées des femmes, de la santé et de la forêt, pour souligner les opportunités et les défis qu'elles lancent à la conservation. La plupart des femmes vivant dans les forêts récoltent et utilisent les espèces forestières. Cependant, les efforts existants de la conservation, la déforestation, les services de santé faibles et les responsabilités de ménage peuvent intensifier les soucis quant à la sécurité et à la santé des femmes dépendantes de la forêt. Il est probable que ce soient les femmes qui doivent soutenir le fardeau écrasant du transport du bois de combustion et d'autres produits forestiers sur leur dos sur de longues distances, ainsi que l'inhalation des fumées durant la combustion et la cuisine. Le fardeau des grossesses non prévues, des maladies et des questions culturelles peut aggraver leurs problèmes de santé. Pour améliorer l'existence et l'environnement, certaines organisations ont créé des activités intégrant les objectifs de conservation et de santé, en incluant le planning familial. Cet article fournit des exemples de projets où la participation des femmes a été identifiée comme étant un élément clé pour parvenir à atteindre efficacement les buts de conservation et de développement.Bosque, mujer y salud: oportunidades y retos para la conservación M. WAN, C.J.P. COLFER y B. POWELL El tema de la salud de la mujer que trabaja en el bosque en países en vías de desarrollo merece ser considerado más seriamente. Este artículo es una revisión de la literatura existente sobre la interacción de la mujer, la salud y el bosque con la que poner de relieve oportunidades para la conservación ...
