The vertical transmission (VT) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may be reduced by using antiretroviral therapy (ART) during pregnancy. The objective of this study was to assess adherence to ARV and the effectiveness of preventive measures used in HIV positive pregnant women. This cross-sectional descriptive study evaluated HIV-positive pregnant women by reviewing the medical records. Demographic data, clinical test results and calculated adherence to ART were collected. The study included 37 HIV positive pregnant women. Whereas the treated women (n=35), the rate of VT was 2.8%. The average viral load presented by pregnant women during pregnancy was 4144.6 copies / mL of blood and the average count of CD4 + T-lymphocytes was 561.6 cells/mm3. Pregnant women with higher rates of adherence showed the highest counts of LT-CD4 +, reflecting the effectiveness of treatment. With regard to treatment adherence, this showed a declining trend as increasing maternal age. Conclusion: Adherence to ART during pregnancy, at delivery and during the first days of the newborn’ life and not breastfeeding are effective measures to control the VT of HIV.

The prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system responsible for producing seminal fluid, which can be affected by cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatitis, being diagnosed by rectal examination, associated with elevated levels of Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA). Hyperplasia has as prostatism symptoms, which causes obstruction and irritative symptoms. Since the cancer presents no symptoms in the early stage of the disease, only with symptoms similar to benign hyperplasia, with the progression of the disease. The objective was to evaluate the serum levels of PSA in patients of a laboratory for clinical analysis in the city of Marechal Cândido Rondon.

Artificial environments as found in the hospital unit can be favorable to the fungi growth, the bacteria, the protozoa and the mites, that can bring health risks. The air interiors air has assumed relevant importance, for the sprouting of illnesses in occupants of areas with low air renewal. Duo to increasing use of air-conditional devices was realized a studylead to identify and to quantify the formed units of anemophilous fungi colonies, in climatized environment. Realized in a Hospital Unit, with 253 beds, where if realized treatments doctor-ambulatories, internments and surgeries, 02 sectors had been selected, the Intensive Care Unit (I.C.U) and the Surgical Center, with 321,45 m² and 995,72 m²,respectively, both climatized. The collections of air had been weekly in three copies, being realized in two periods, one in the morning, then after the environments cleanness (09:00h) and another one in the afternoon in the end of the expedient (16:00 h), after the air-conditional cleanness devices, in the period of May 1st to June 30th of 2012. The total number in the enter Sirgicalsector was 107 UnidadesFormadoras de Colônia(UFC) before and 77 UFC after the cleanness and in the ICU had been 133 UFC before and 115 after the cleanness, keeping spores levels in the collected environment of I.C.U, not presenting reduction with only the air-conditional devices cleanness. Therefore, there is the necessity of revision of the cleanness processes and air exchanges in the studied environments, to identify and to quantify the anemophilous fungi.
