ABSTRACT Introduction: Obesity and overweight have been increasing in Brazil and in the world, in an expressive way, as well as the demand for bariatric surgeries. As a result, post-bariatric plastic surgery has also grown, especially abdominal dermolipectomy. The objective is to describe the frequency of post-bariatric plastic surgeries performed by the Unified Health System (SUS - Sistema Único em Saúde, in portuguese) from January 1, 2015 to October 21, 2020. Methods: Ecological study, where individuals who underwent post-bariatric surgeries were selected. bariatric tests by SUS obtained by the Hospital Information System of Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS - Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde, in portuguese). Data from the 27 states of the national territory were analyzed and the following variables were used: gender, age group, procedure performed, level of education. Results: The southeastern region of the country had the highest number of post-bariatric surgeries. White individuals, on the other hand, had higher numbers than other races (60.9%), abdominal dermolipectomy was the most frequent (53.7%) followed by mammoplasty (22.3%). Conclusion: Plastic surgeries have increased significantly in the last five years, and are more frequent among white women, aged between 35 and 44 years, living in the southeastern region of the country.

RESUMO Introdução: A obesidade e o sobrepeso vêm aumentando no Brasil e no mundo, de uma forma expressiva, assim como a procura por cirurgias bariátricas. Em consequência, a cirurgia plástica pós-bariátrica também cresceu, com destaque para a dermolipectomia abdominal. O objetivo é descrever a frequência das cirurgias plásticas pós-bariátricas feitas pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) no período de 1 de janeiro de 2015 a 21 de outubro de 2020. Método: Estudo ecológico, no qual foram selecionados indivíduos que realizaram cirurgias pós-bariátricas pelo SUS obtidos pelo Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS). Foram analisados dados dos 27 estados do território nacional e utilizaram-se as variáveis: sexo, faixa etária, procedimento realizado, grau de instrução. Resultados: A Região Sudeste do país apresentou maiores números de cirurgias pós-bariátricas. Já indivíduos da cor branca apresentaram números maiores do que outras raças (60,9%); a dermolipectomia abdominal foi a mais frequente (53,7%), em seguida, a mamoplastia (22,3%). Conclusão: As cirurgias plásticas tiveram aumento expressivo nos últimos cinco anos e são mais frequentes entre mulheres, brancas, com faixa etária de 35 a 44 anos, residentes na Região Sudeste do país.

Abstract INTRODUCTION We aimed to analyze trends in Schistosomiasis positivity, mortality, and hospitalization rates in Northeast Brazil. METHODS We conducted an ecological study using data from the Brazilian Schistosomiasis Control Program, and Hospital and Mortality Information Systems. A joinpoint regression model was used for temporal analysis. RESULTS The positivity(−4.7%;p<0.001) and hospitalization(−17.7%;p<0.001) rates declined globally, while the mortality remained stationary (−0.8%;p>0.05). However, the hospitalization in Alagoas(27.1%;p<0.001) and Pernambuco (35.1%;p<0.001), and the mortality in Bahia(2.9%;p<0.001) and Sergipe(4.1%;p<0.001), increased. CONCLUSIONS Schistosomiasis mansoni represents an important public health problem in Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe, and Bahia.

ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the clinical response and adverse effects of radiofrequency on the urethral meatus in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women. Materials and Methods: This phase one study included ten women with Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). The evaluation consisted of 1 hour Pad tests to quantify urine loss and to assess the degree of procedure satisfaction by using the Likert scale. To evaluate safety, we observed the number of referred side effects. Results: Average age was 53.10 years±7.08 years. In assessing the final Pad Test, 70% showed a reduction and 30% a worsening of urinary loss. Using the Pad Test one month later, there was a reduction in all patients (p=0.028). The degree of satisfaction was 90% and no side effects have been observed. One patient reported burning sensation. Conclusion: The treatment of SUI with radiofrequency on the urethral meatus has no adverse effects, being a low risk method that reduces urinary loss in women. However, to increase the validity of the study, larger clinical trials are warranted.
