    Prevalence of HIV and syphilis in pregnant women and related factors

    by Karin de Almeida, Luana Lima da Silva, Beatriz Aparecida Oliveira de Almeida, Daniela Ferreira D’aGostini Marin, Betine Pinto Moehlecke Iser

    Objective: to estimate the prevalence of HIV and syphilis, and their association with gestational complications and newborn outcomes in women admitted for delivery at a mother and child center in the South of Brazil. Methods: cross-sectional study based on the review of electronic medical records of parturients (March/2016 to June/2018). Sociodemographic and clinical data were analyzed. HIV and syphilis were considered outcomes, then exposures to assess associations with pregnancy and neonatal variables. Prevalence Ratio (PR) were calculated using Poisson Regression with robust variance and 95% Confidence Interval (CI). Results: data from 6,527 women were evaluated. HIV prevalence was 0.6% and syphilis 1.5%. Women assisted by the public health system [PR=2.28 95%CI=1.07-4.82 for syphilis; PR=3.52 95%CI=1.06-11.72 for HIV] and drug users [PR=5.47 95%CI=2.49-12.04 for syphilis; PR=4.76 95%CI=1.12-20.19 for HIV] were more affected. Syphilis was more prevalent among younger and non-white women (p=0.001). Adequate prenatal care reduced syphilis by 38% (PR= 0.62 95%CI=0.39-0.97; p=0.006). Neonatal complications occurred in 32.3% of syphilis cases and 17.1% of HIV cases. Of the 98 syphilis cases, 29.6% led to congenital syphilis. Conclusion: women in socially vulnerable conditions, such as drug users, were more affected. Congenital syphilis exceeded the national average, reinforcing the need for timely and comprehensive prenatal care.

    TRAJETÓRIA E IMPORTÂNCIA DO ESTALEIRO VEROLME NA INDÚSTRIA NAVAL BRASILEIRA

    by Claudiana Guedes de Jesus, Luana Lima da Silva

    Esse artigo descreveu a trajetória do estaleiro Verolme em Angra dos Reis/RJ, desde sua instalação em 1959 até auge histórico em 1979, destacando sua importância na indústria naval brasileira com a análise da evolução de indicadores de produção e trabalho. Utilizamos como base metodológica a pesquisa qualitativa, com base na revisão da literatura e análise de informações através de dados secundários de duas principais fontes a Relação Anual de Informações Sociais do Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego (RAIS/MTE) e o Sindicato Nacional da Indústria de Construção e Reparação Naval e Offshore (SINAVAL). O Brasil em 1979, foi o segundo maior parque naval mundial, atrás apenas do Japão, havia um total de 39,2 mil trabalhadores navais no país, sendo 12 mil somente no estaleiro Verolme em Angra dos Reis. O Verolme foi durante mais de trinta anos o maior estaleiro do país. A justificativa dessa pesquisa está no fato da escassez de estudos acadêmicos analisando o a indústria naval e os mesmos seus diversos estaleiros. Descrever a história, analisar os indicadores de produção e trabalho e sistematizar os apontamentos da trajetória do estaleiro Verolme serve de base para pesquisas futuras sobre plantas produtivas navais nacionais e internacionais.

    REPLY TO ARTICLE: CONSUMPTION OF ULTRA-PROCESSED FOODS BY CHILDREN UNDER 24 MONTHS OF AGE AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS

    by Karin de Almeida, Luana Lima da Silva, Eliane Mazzuco dos Santos, Wanessa Casteluber Lopes, Lucinéia de Pinho, Antônio Prates Caldeira, Angelina Do Carmo Lessa

    It is true that changes in dietary pattern have increased in the past decades, thus providing room for the growth of comorbidities related to weight gain, mainly among children. Therefore, the rise of ultra-processed foods, especially in the diet of children aged under 24 months of age, played an essential role for the changes in dietary pattern, and can be attributed to several factors, such as the return of the maternal figure to the work place, and the consequent early weaning.1
