RESUMEN
Lesões por Esforços Repetitivos (LER) ou Distúrbios Osteomusculares Relacionados ao Trabalho (DORT) traduzem quadros clínicos de origem ocupacional decorrentes de distúrbios funcionais, provocando afecções de nervos, músculos, tendões, sinóvias, fáscias e ligamentos. Este trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de verificara prevalência das principais LER/DORT no Centro de Referência em Saúde Trabalhador de Araçatuba/SP no período de dezembro de 2009 a dezembro de 2010, e destacar dentre todas a patologia de maior prevalência como também sexo, idade e profissão. Foram analisados 284 prontuários, no qual 60 prontuários apresentavam diagnóstico de LER/DORT. Os resultados mostraram que a patologia de maior prevalência foi à tendinite do supra espinhoso com 26,6% dos casos, no geral o sexo feminino foi o mais acometido, na faixa etária entre 43 e 55 anos e atingindo principalmente as categorias de serviços técnicos e serviços gerais. Conclui-se que a prevalência de LER/DORT no Centro de Referência em Saúde do Trabalhador não foi incidencial.
Repetitive Cumulative Trauma (RCT) or Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMD), correspond to clinical pictures of occupational origin resulting from functional disorders, causing affections of nerves, muscles, tendons, synovia, fasciae and ligaments. This study has been performed with the objective of verifying the main RCT/WRMD prevalent in the Reference Center in Workers Health of Araçatuba/SP from December 2009 to December 2010, and highlighting among all pathologies the most prevalent as wellas gender, age and profession. 284 medical records were analized and 60 showed RCT/WRMD diagnosis. The results showed high incidence of supraspinatus pathology with 26,6 % cases, the female gender was the most affected, in the group 43-55 years old, and technical and general services were the categories most affected.

Environmental toxicants and stress influence the health and behavior of people from different parts of the world. In the present study, aggressive behavior was evaluated in rats exposed to cadmium (Cd) for four weeks and subjected to immobilization stress (IS) based on the resident/intruder paradigm. Latency to the first bite (LB), total number of attacks (NA), total duration of attack manifestations (DAM), and a composite aggression score (CAS) were used to assess aggressiveness. Cadmium concentrations in the blood and the brain were determined. We observed that the parameters of aggressiveness were not altered by either Cd or IS when administered separately. However, animals exposed to Cd+IS had increased NA, DAM, and CAS. Cadmium was detected in the blood and the brain after treatment and Cd+IS exposure modified Cd distribution in these tissues. These results suggest that exposure to low levels of Cd associated with stress may lead to increased aggressiveness in rats.
