A Síndrome da Imunodeficiência Adquirida. (SIDA), trata-se do resultou da infecção do vírus denominado HIV (Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana), sendo caracterizado por ser um retrovírus, com genoma RNA (ácido ribonucleico), da família Retroviridae e subfamília Lentiviridae. Com o cenário de infecção em mulheres entre 20 a 34 anos, sendo estas em idades férteis, tornou-se preocupante a ocasião do aumento da transmissão vertical entre mãe e Recém-Nascido (RN).
Introduction: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is considered a public health problem, characterized by the presence of kidney damage or a reduced level of kidney function (glomerular, tubular and endocrine), with progressive and irreversible loss. Objective: to identify in the literature the strategies carried out by the multidisciplinary team for the early diagnosis and treatment of CKD in the context of Primary Health Care. Method: This is an integrative literature review.
In the case of rapidly emerging viral pandemics such as the novel coronavirus, rapid development and large-scale implementation of vaccines is a critical need that may not be met by the use of conventional technologies alone. Nanostructured materials have proved to be great allies in vaccine design, catalysing their construction and allowing clinical trials to begin at an unprecedented speed. Among the main immunisation techniques benefited by nanoscience, we can highlight RNA vaccines.
It is increasingly common to perform surgical procedures in dentistry offices. Furthermore, the number of patients who need to undergo these procedures and use oral anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents has also been increasing. Oral anticoagulants are drugs whose main function is to increase blood clotting time, and have been widely prescribed as prophylaxis to avoid thromboembolic phenomena. It is essential that the professional dentist should be duly qualified to know which protocols should be followed when performing operative techniques in these patients.

In the last decades, nanoparticles have been the subject of intense studies, since intrinsic characteristics, such as their size, morphology, physical and chemical properties, that allow the manipulation of functionalities and applications mainly in the biomedical area, whose research has demonstrated several advantages in pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, demonstrating its ability in the drug delivery system.
An investigation was carried out to assess the health status of cigarette smokers, oxidative stress induced changes and prevalence of smoking among smokers of different age groups in Thiruvananthapuram city, situated in the southern part of Kerala, India. The 52 male volunteers, aged between 20 and 70 years who are residents in Ulloor ward of Thiruvananthapuram Corporation in Kerala state were selected for the study. Among these 52 subjects, 36 were current smokers and 16 were non-smokers. The body weight, height and duplicate blood pressure measurements at rest were taken.
Background: Proper biomedical waste (BMW) management was one of the significant challenges in developing countries like India even before COVID-19, and now it has augmented. With the advent of a new home quarantine/isolation facility, the chances of general waste getting contaminated with COVID-19 infectious waste has elevated significantly. Patients treated at home generate infectious waste, thoughtlessly discarded as household (domestic) waste. Depending on the collection, transport, and disposal practices and norms puts waste collectors and the environment at much greater risk.
A sífilis é uma infecção sexualmente transmissível de fácil diagnóstico, tem cura em qualquer estágio gestacional e sua transmissão vertical pode ocorrer em qualquer estágio clínico da doença. Seu agente etiológico, o Treponema pallidum, pode acarretar graves conseqüências para o concepto intra-útero, assim como na vida extra-uterina. Objetivou-se identificar, nas produções científicas, formas de prevenção e tratamento precoce da sífilis congênita.
