“…As previously reported by many authors, peripheral arteries were the most injured ones. The superficial femoral artery was the most commonly traumatized (15.75%), in agreement with most authors [6] [50]. However, diverging from previous papers, the frequency of ulnar artery injury was as high as the superficial femoral artery (15.75%); this is related to the high incidence of cutting wounds (41.04%) in this casuistry, a mechanism frequently associated to upper limb's trauma [14] [50] [51] and is probably justified by the high incidence of aggression with machete in the Amazon region and the fact that victims usually use the ulnar forearm border to defend themselves.…”

Introduction: Vascular injuries are among the main mechanisms of death in trauma. In Brazil, the general surgeon is in charge of emergencies procedures in most hospitals, but many times these surgeons are not familiarized with more complex vascular surgical techniques that often require a vascular surgeon. Pará State is the most populated one in the Brazilian Amazon region and a single hospital with vascular surgeons permanently on call is available. Objectives: To evaluate demographic data on vascular trauma victims; to establish the mechanism, anatomic location, injury pattern and surgical techniques used to manage the vascular lesions treated at the Metropolitan Emergency Hospital; to ascertain associated non-vascular injuries and victim's clinical outcome. Methods: Medical records retrospective analysis of patients treated for vascular injuries from February 2011 to February 2013 at the institution in case. All arterial and venous injuries were analyzed. Patients who were not operated by the vascular surgery team, iatrogenic injuries and those who underwent primary or sustained traumatic amputation were excluded. Results: 173 cases; 95.95% were male; 54.90% were between 25 and 49 years; penetrating trauma mechanisms were found in 88.44%; lower limb was the most affected topography (41.50%); the most injured vessels were the superficial femoral and ulnar arteries (in 15.75% of cases each) and the superficial femoral vein (17.77%); autologous vein graft was the most performed technique for arterial repair (36.57%) and ligature was performed in 85.00% of venous trauma; amputation rate was 15.60% and mortality rate was 6.35%. Conclusions: Vascular injuries occurred predominantly in men from 24 to 49 years old; penetrating mechanisms were most frequent; lower limb was the most affected topography; the most frequently injured vessels were the ulnar and superficial femoral arteries and the superficial femoral vein; complete vessel transection was the most common injury pattern; arterial trauma was most frequently treated by autologous venous graft

Objective: to investigate the association between the socio demographic and economical factors to the resilience of people who acquired physical deficiency. Methodology: it is about a descriptive and exploratory design with the quantitative approach, developed in the Foundation Center for Integrated Support for patients with Disabilities in João Pessoa/PB, with 69 physical deficient people. Results:The found resilience average among the population was of 138.26. In the socio demographic and economical characteristics considered, only the gender and schooling showed statistical inferences on the participants' resilience, where the condition to being men and have a satisfactory schooling level favored the adaptive capacity development.
