    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate, in an isolated and combined manner, the use of warm aspersion bath and perineal exercises performed with Swiss ball during labor, facing pain perception. METHODS: This is a clinical or intervention study. We recruited 15 pregnant women at low obstetric risk who accepted the use of non-pharmacological interventions for pain relief and who also accepted being questioned about their perception of pain using a visual analogue scale. RESULTS: When the interventions studied were associated, pain reduction was significant. There was no significant difference in pain scores, when interventions were isolated. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that the associated use of non-pharmacological methods for pain relief, warm aspersion bath and perineal exercises with the Swiss ball during the dilation phase is related to the reduction of pain and promotion of the parturient's comfort when associated.

    OBJECTIVE: To identify the microorganisms isolated on the pericatheter skin, catheter tip and blood stream of patients on hemodialysis by central venous catheter, to verify the profile of sensitivity of these microorganisms to antimicrobials and to assess the clinical evolution and mortality related to these microorganisms. METHODS: A cross sectional study. The strains were isolated from the patients on hemodialysis by central venous catheter that, in a previous study, presented pericatheter skin, catheter tip and blood stream infection and were analyzed for microbiological profile and lethality related. RESULTS: 128 microorganisms were isolated in the bloodstream in the 94 patients studied. There were 35 cases of septicemia and 27 of endocarditis. The mortality in cases of endocarditis due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was 100%. CONCLUSION: Infection in the bloodstream and endocarditis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was predictive of mortality and lethality.

    OBJECTIVE: To assess the Quality of Life and the Self-Esteem of patients with chronic ulcers. METHODS: Analytical and cross-sectional study. One hundred and fifty patients were assessed for six months, among them seventy-five patients with chronic ulcers. Patients over 18 years of age were included, male and female, hospitalized and assisted at outpatient care centers, with intact cognition. RESULTS: Patients with ulcers were predominantly male (p<0.002). In both groups, the average age was 62 and the most prevalent illness was hypertension (32%). The worst Functional Capacity score was observed in the group without ulcers (p=0.003); the group with ulcers registered the worst score for the Vitality aspect (p=0.042). CONCLUSION: Patients with chronic ulcers had the worst Quality of Life in relation to activity, little energy and willingness to carry out the Activities of Daily Living. The ulcers, however, did not affect the self-esteem of these patients.
