title: Spacial conglomerates of mortality by suicide in northeast Brazil and its relationship with socioeconomic indicators

description: Abstract Objective to evaluate the spatial distribution of mortality by suicide in the northeast of Brazil and its relationship with social and economic indicators, seeking to identify the distribution pattern distribution through a geostatistical analysis. Method This is an ecological study that used suicide death data from 2000 to 2014 recorded in the Mortality Information System. Global and local Moran tests were applied for spatial autocorrelation analysis, and the bivariate LISA analysis was used to evaluate the spatial correlation between the suicide mortality rate and the independent variables. Results The results showed that mortality due to suicide in the Northeast has poor spatial autocorrelation (I = 0.2608), although there is strong spatial autocorrelation for most of the analyzed variables. In the spatial bivariate analysis, the variables presented a Moran LISA Index close to zero, such as HDI (I = 0.025), Aging (I = 0.146) and Illiteracy (I = 0.06). Spatial bivariate analysis showed that there is no spatial autocorrelation between socioeconomic variables and standardized mortality rates y suicide. Conclusion It is concluded that suicide mortality in the northeast of Brazil is randomly distributed and has no spatial relationship with socioeconomic variables.

title: Use of psychoactives substances among college students: epidemiological profile, settings and methodological limitations

description: Abstract Introduction The use of psychoactive substances (PAS) is recognized as a health problem, and can be observed in different populations segments, particularly among university students. This study aimed to analyze the national scientific production on the use of PAS among Brazilian college students. Methods We performed a systematic literature review of articles published between 2008 and 2015. Results Alcohol is the most used PAS, followed by tobacco and marijuana. At first, PASs are used for fun/pleasure, and college environment is appointed as a motivator for their use. Researches on the use of PASs and cognitive enhancement are scarce. Conclusion National researches have limitations to study the reasons and expectations of PASs use beyond recreational use, for example, in seeking a better academic performance.

title: Evaluation of treatments human rabies post-exposure prophylaxis in a city of Paraíba

description: Abstract Introduction Rabies is a zoonotic infection transmitted by virus inoculation through saliva and secretions of infected animals. The study evaluated the conduct of the post-exposure care of human rabies, between 2006 and 2013 in Cuité-Paraíba. Method: We evaluated 184 records included in the SINAN (Sistema de Informações de Agravos de Notificação). We used the chi-square test and calculated the prevalence ratio (PR) and confidence intervals (CI). Results Analysis show that 53.3% of the accidents happened with females, and 39.1% were between 20 and 59 years old. Bite was the most common assault (72.3%) and 41.5% of the aggressions resulted in severe lesions. Dogs were responsible for 66.1% of the aggressions. Attacks were also committed by cats, primates and foxes. There was association between the aggressor species and sex of individuals (p=0.019). We observed a higher frequency of aggressions by dogs in men (PR=1.587, CI=1.039-2.422) and by cats in women (PR=1.415, CI = 1.080 to 1.855). There was an association between aggression by dogs in the lower limbs (p=0.008, PR=2.065, CI=1.138-3.749) and by cats on hand/foot (p=0.001, PR=2.045, CI=1.340-3.123). Most of the care (59.8%) consisted of observation + vaccine and 59.2% followed the Ministry of Health protocol. Conclusion It is essential to improve methods for prescribing and recording of injuries treatment.

title: Prevalence and factors associated to urinary incontinence in non-institutionalized elderly

description: Abstract Introduction Urinary incontinence is one of the most important geriatric syndromes. However, in clinical practice it seems to be neglected and there are no studies in the North of Minas Gerais. The aim was to identify the prevalence of urinary incontinence and associated factors for each sex among non-institutionalized elderly. Methods A population-based cross-sectional survey conducted in Montes Claros, Minas Gerais. The information was analyzed with the program Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 17.0, with descriptive analysis and, subsequently, bivariate analysis and multiple analysis through logistic regression. Results A prevalence of 23.2% was found among elderly men and 31.1% among elderly women. They were associated with urinary incontinence in the elderly: walk with assistance, report of fall in the last year, fragility. Among the elderly women, the associated factors were: negative self-perception of health, arthritis/arthrosis/rheumatism, fragility. Conclusion There was a high prevalence of urinary incontinence in the elderly of both sexes. Individual health conditions factors were associated with the occurrence in each sex, evidencing the need for effective assistance that recognizes such specificities.

title: Seroepidemiology of arbovirus in communities living under the influence of the lake of a hydroelectric dam in Brazil

description: Abstract Introduction The arbovirus proposes an important problem of public health in Brazil, especially in the Amazon, due to its capacity to cause outbreaks with high levels of morbidity-mortality in humans as well as in animals. Objective This paper had the objective to estimate the prevalence of antibodies to arbovirus in communities that live under the influence of the artificial lake of UHE Tucuruí in the State of Pará, Brazil. Method The analytical transversal study has selected 657 blood serum samples of individuals over 18, both genders, residents at the Sustainable Development Reserves (SDR) in the region of the lake of UHE Tucuruí. The epidemiological information has been registered in an instrument especially designed for such a study and the blood samples were collected in two periods of high and low tide of the lake. The blood serum tests were performed by the method of hemagglutination inhibition (HI). Results The results revealed a prevalence of positive antibodies to arbovirus of 85.0%, being 84.1% related to Flavivirus (vaccine strain of YFV), 25.5% related to Alphavirus and 34.6% to Bunyavirus. The results of serum prevalence to arbovirus between the periods of high tide and low tide have revealed significance amongst the Alphavirus, not observed in the other families. Conclusion In general, the data from this paper have suggested that the anthropoid actions on the environment of the lake have become determinant factors for the prevalence of arboviral antibodies.

title: Cervical cancer tracking in Minas Gerais: assessment of data from Cervical Cancer Information System (SISCOLO)

description: Abstract Objective To evaluate the indicators related to cervical cytology, quality, frequency of cellular changes and informed follow-up of high-grade lesions in Minas Gerais and its macro-regions of health. Methods a descriptive study based on data from the Cervical Cancer Information System (SISCOLO) from 2006 to 2011. Results The ratio of cervical cytopathologic exams in women aged 25 to 59 years remained stable, but did not reach the goal set by the state. Approximately 75% of the exams were performed in the target population and there was a progressive reduction in the proportion of cervical cytopathologists without previous cytology. On average, 51.2% of the exams were performed within a year. Regarding the quality of the exam, the positivity index was categorized as low throughout the analyzed period. We observed a low percentage of follow-up reported in the state. Conclusion The results evidenced the need to improve the tracking program regarding the quality of the exam, as well as the correct orientation regarding the age group and the periodicity, aiming to guarantee the target population's access and referral for diagnostic investigation and treatment of precursor lesions, when indicated.

title: High blood pressure in 7 to 10 years old students from a rural municipality/ES

description: Abstract Objective To estimate the prevalence of high blood pressure levels among schoolchildren aged 7 to 10 years old in a rural municipality of the State of Espírito Santo between 2009 and 2010. The study aimed to evaluate the association of high blood pressure with age, sex and nutritional status. Method Cross-sectional study including 899 students, age of 7-10 years old, residing in a rural municipality of Espírito Santo. Data were collected through questionnaires, anthropometric and blood pressure levels measurements. We used double typing with the SPSS 17.0. Software for statistical analysis, and the chi-square hypothesis test to determine associations. Results We found prevalence of 16.2% of high blood pressure, no significant difference by sex (p=0.343) and age (p=0.47). Children who are overweight have higher prevalence of high blood pressure, as well as higher mean blood pressure. We did find significant differences between the mean systolic blood pressure and sex (p &lt;0.001) and age (p = 0.016). Conclusion The prevalence of high blood pressure was higher in boys, who also had a higher prevalence in borderline hypertension. Overweight contributed significantly to the elevation of blood pressure.
