Resumo Os equipamentos de proteção individual (EPIs) devem ser adotados por todos os grupos profissionais expostos a riscos de contato com material biológico. O objetivo é analisar fatores associados à não utilização de EPIs por trabalhadores acometidos por acidentes ocupacionais com material biológico. Estudo quantitativo, transversal, em que foram analisadas fichas de notificação de acidentes de trabalho com material biológico de municípios do Sul do Brasil de 2014 a 2019. Realizou-se análise não ajustada e ajustada dos dados e, após, utilizou-se a análise hierarquizada, sendo estabelecidas associações entre variáveis independentes e o desfecho. A frequência de não uso de EPI entre os anos foi de 76,5%. Ao final da análise hierarquizada, os fatores associados à não utilização de EPI foram: anos de ocorrência do acidente, situação de trabalho formal, reencape de materiais, punção venosa/arterial, administração de medicação, descarte inadequado de materiais, utilização de materiais como lâminas e lancetas e exposição da pele íntegra e não íntegra. Os fatores analisados apresentaram significativa associação com o não uso de EPIs e acidentes de trabalho com material biológico e ressaltam a importância de estratégias de intervenções baseadas na realidade vivenciada por cada ambiente laboral.

Abstract Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be adopted by all professional groups exposed to risks of contact with biological material. The aim is to analyze factors associated with the non-use of PPE by workers affected by occupational accidents with biological material. A quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted to analyze notification forms of occupational accidents with biological material in municipalities in southern Brazil, from 2014 to 2019. Adjusted and unadjusted data analysis was performed and, subsequently, hierarchical analysis was used, and associations between independent variables and the outcome were established. The frequency of non-use of PPE over the years was 76.5%. At the end of the hierarchical analysis, the factors associated with the non-use of PPE were: years of accident occurrence, formal work status, recapping of materials, venous/arterial puncture, medication administration, inadequate disposal of materials, use of materials such as blades and lancets, and exposure of intact and non-intact skin. The factors analyzed showed a significant association with the non-use of PPE and work accidents with biological material, and highlight the importance of intervention strategies based on the reality experienced in each work environment.

ABSTRACT. A total of 1,296 broiler chicken were housed, distributed in a completely randomized design with 6 treatments and 6 repetitions. The treatments consisted of a control diet formulated with corn considered adequate and without the addition of adsorbent, a diet formulated with corn naturally contaminated with mycotoxin (CCM) and four diets formulated with CCM and added with different commercial adsorbents. At the end of the first week and at 21 days of age of the birds, it was observed that the control diet resulted in greater (p < 0.05) live weight and weight gain in relation to the inclusion of CCM. The relative weight of the liver was lower for the control group compared to the groups receiving a diet with CCM and CCM + ads D. The relative weight of the proventriculus and cloacal bursa was lower for the control group compared to those who received a diet with CCM + ads B and CCM + ads C. There was no significant effect (p > 0.05) of the diets on the analysis of serum biochemistry and the occurrence of fatty and hydropic degeneration in the liver of broilers. The use of adsorbents can mitigate the harmful effects of mycotoxins, however, these products have specific binding capacity to the type of mycotoxin present in food.

Abstract Background Hypertension is an increasingly common problem in adolescents; amongst the associated factors, physical inactivity and obesity are increasing the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Objective To verify whether there is an association between higher blood pressure levels amongst adolescents with the relationship between different levels of body mass index (BMI) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). Method Cross-sectional study consisting of 860 adolescents. Higher blood pressure (BP) was considered as borderline and hypertension as the classification. BMI was categorized as low-normal weight and overweight-obesity. The CRF was assessed by a nine-minute run/walk test and classified into low or appropriate levels (less and more favorable to health, respectively). Later, BMI and CRF were grouped into one categorical variable: (I) low/normal weight and appropriate CRF levels; (II) low/normal weight and low CRF levels; (III) overweight/obesity and appropriate CRF levels; and (IV) overweight/obesity and low CRF levels. Data were analyzed using Poisson regression, through the prevalence ratio (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). The p-values of p <0.05 were considered significant. Results Adolescents with overweight/obesity and low CRF levels had a 22% higher BP prevalence. Moreover, children with overweight/obesity, but with appropriate CRF levels, have a 15% higher BP prevalence. Conclusion Adolescents with overweight/obesity had a higher prevalence of BP, regardless of CRF levels. It is suggested that maintaining normal BMI is a protective factor for less favorable BP.

Resumo O objetivo do artigo é apresentar os resultados da pesquisa que versou sobre o impacto do diagnóstico psiquiátrico nos modos de subjetivação do sujeito. Também se propõe a demonstrar a relação do diagnóstico com o processo de medicalização e a repercussão sobre as relações sociais dos indivíduos. Desse modo, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa exploratória que se baseou nos dados dos prontuários, bem como em entrevistas semidirigidas realizadas com dez usuários de uma unidade básica de saúde com Estratégia Saúde da Família de uma cidade do interior do Rio Grande do Sul. Os principais achados se expressaram em três eixos: subjetivação pela doença, que traz a ideia de que os sujeitos se reconhecem e reproduzem um comportamento coerente ao diagnóstico imposto; medicalização como controle de si mesmo, que discute a dependência dos sujeitos à medicação; e relações interpessoais após o diagnóstico, que alude à mudança de comportamento que as pessoas mais próximas têm com o indivíduo “doente”.

Abstract This article aims at presenting the results of a study that approached the impact of the psychiatric diagnosis on the modes of subjectivity. It also proposed to demonstrate the relation of the diagnosis and the medicalization process with the repercussion on the individuals’ social relationships. Thus, an exploratory qualitative research was conducted, using data from medical records and semi-directed interviews with ten users of a Basic Health Unit with Family Health Strategy in a city of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The main findings were expressed in three axes: subjectivity by the disease, in which the subjects recognize themselves and reproduce a behavior consistent with the imposed diagnosis; medicalization as self-control, which discusses their dependence on medication; and interpersonal relationships after diagnosis, alluding to the change in behavior that the closest people have towards the subject under treatment.
