Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

2. • Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by
Mycobacterium leprae. Host defenses are crucial in
determining the patient’s response to the disease,the
clinical presentation, and the bacillary load.
• Leprosy manifests in two forms
• Lepromatoid (the organism being localized to skin or
nerve)
• Lepromatous (a generalized bacteraemic disease that
effects many organs, analogous to miliary tuberculosis).
• The main drugs used to treat leprosy are dapsone,
rifampicin and clofazimin.
3. • The treatment of leprosy suggest multidrug regimens
rather than monotherapy because such a regimen has
proven to be more effective, delays the emergence of
resistance, prevents relapse, and shortens the duration
of therapy. Agents used in the treatment of leprosy are
dapsone,clofazimine,and rifampin.
• Treatment of tuberculoid leprosy is continued for at least
1 to 2 years,while patients with lepromatous leprosy are
generally treated for 5 years.
• In addition to chemotherapy, patients with leprosy need
psychosocial support, rehabilitation, and surgical repair of
any disfiguration.
5. • The sulfones are structural analogues of PABA and are
competitive inhibitors of folic acid synthesis. Sulfones are
bacteriostatic and are used only in the treatment
ofleprosy.
• Dapsone (Avlosulfon) is the most widely used sulfone for
the long-term therapy of leprosy. Although the sulfones
are highly effective against most strains of M.leprae, a
small number of organisms,especially those found in
lepromatous leprosy patients,are less susceptible and
can persist for many years, resulting in relapse
6. • Sulfones, such as dapsone and sulfoxone (Diasone), are
well absorbed orally and are widely distributed
throughout body fluids and tissues.Peak concentrations
of dapsone are reached within 1 to 3 hours of oral
administration and have a half-life of 21 to 44
hours;about 50% of administered dapsone is bound to
serum proteins. The sulfones tend to remain in the skin,
muscle, kidney,and liver up to 3 weeks after therapy is
stopped. The concentration in inflamed skin is 10 to 15
times higher than that found in normal skin.The sulfones
are retained in the circulation for a long time (12–35
days) because of hepatobiliary drug recirculation. The
sulfones are acetylated in the liver,and 70 to 80% of drug
is excreted in the urine as metabolites.
7. • Dapsone, combined with other antileprosy
agents like rifampin and clofazimine, is used in
the treatment of both multibacillary and
paucibacillary M. leprae infections.
• Dapsone is also used in the treatment and
prevention of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in
AIDS patients who are allergic to or intolerant of
trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole.
8. The sulfones can produce
• nonhemolytic anemia
• methemoglobinemia
• acute hemolytic anemia in persons
with a glucose-6-phosphate
dehydrogenase deficiency
• acute skin lesions
