    Associação entre Transtorno Disfórico Pré-menstrual e Transtornos Depressivos
    (Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria - ABP, 1999-06-01) Pires, Maria Laura Nogueira [UNIFESP]; Calil, Helena Maria [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is characterised by a myriad of emotional symptoms and behavioural alterations, which occur with a cyclic temporal pattern associated with the pre-menstrual period. The validity of an isolated psychiatric diagnostic category for PMDD remains controversial. However, research results have been showing a specific association between pre-menstrual changes and depressive disorder. The present review has as objective to sintethise the results on similarity between depressive symptoms in PMDD and in the depressive disorders, comorbidity, family history and biological variables. Evidences suggesting that the pre-menstrual symptoms would be expression of a vulnerability to the development of dysphoric states (depression and anxiety) as well as diagnostic implications of such proposals are discussed.

    Contratos de boca: a institucionalização da precariedade na construção civil
    (Universidade Federal da Bahia - Faculdade de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas - Centro de Recursos Humanos, 2010-12-01) Cockell, Fernanda Flávia [UNIFESP]; Perticarrari, Daniel; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    This paper examines the perception of construction workers in a context of social vulnerability, marked by the increasing precariousness of employment contracts. Twenty workers from São Carlos (Brazil) were interviewed, recovering their trajectories of work. Through qualitative analysis of the interviews, it was possible to verify the vulnerability and varied forms of employment contracts and remuneration. Despite the precariousness of labor relations, half of the workers claim to be professionally fulfilled in their occupation, while the other half perceive themselves to be diminished in society by the lack of schooling, or identify themselves with former occupations, seeing construction as a passing step or as the last option left to them.

    The Community Health Agent (CHA) occupies an important mediation place between community and family health strategy (FHS). Although, in a critical view, we consider that the working of this professional, mainly in high social vulnerability locals, evidences the complexity and contradictions which must be discussed in an ethical-political perspective. The objective of this paper was to analyze and discuss aspects of the community organization and acquaintanceship that contributes for the construction of the CHA's social participation processes. It was a qualitative research, made in a health family unit in Cubatao, which had the participative research as a beacon for the procedures used, emphasizing the participative observation and semi-structured interviews. The results indicates that the intense sense of community and the proximity to community political forces contribute for the social participation process, otherwise the predominance of assistencialism and fear triggered by violence situations.

    (Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2013-08-11) Borges, Gisele Maria [UNIFESP]; Goldenberg, Paulete [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    HPVs are responsible for triggering infections are highly prevalent among STDs, highlighting its relationship to the development of various types of cancers, among which the CA of the Cervix - the second leading cause of cancer mortality among women. Transmitted in any sexual practice, women who have sex with women are susceptible to infection , underscoring the fact that they are invisible, by reference health issues .Given this arises the purpose of identifying knowledge, ideas and risk prevention practices in relation to STD in general and HPV, particularly among MSM in order to subsidize intervention. The study was conducted with LGBT attending three points from the application of 149 questionnaires with open and closed questions, followed by focus groups, one in each location, with reference to the vulnerability perspective. Provided in a variety of sexual practices, they do not use protective devices, which expose them to infection by HPV. Prevention, therefore, is restricted to hygiene and confidence in partner, next to the medical control. it is worth saying that the whole sample was found a prevalence (self-reported) of 6.8 % for HPV infection. To disregard the importance of STDs in female homosexuality, they attribute the danger of transmission to humans, mediated penetration - by analogy to AIDS. Given the limited knowledge about the transmission and prevention of HPV, they express the desire to have more information available about it. Found the situation of vulnerability to HPV / STD , it is necessary not only preparation of health professionals in the care demands of MSM, as the extent of information media focused on this specific segment.
