RESUMO

This study aimed to determine the waiting time from the diagnosis to the first breast cancer treatment at the University Hospital in southern Brazil to verify if the law #12,732/12 is being respected and to identify the impact of this waiting time on breast cancer progression. A retrospective, quantitative, and indirect approach was carried out by reviewing the medical records of 118 patients who underwent oncologic breast surgery at the University Hospital, an exclusive public service, from January 1st 2012 to December 31st 2016. Data analysis revealed that the average waiting time was 104.4 days and the median was 92.5 days. Of the patients who started their treatment by surgery, 85.1% waited for more than 60 days. Meanwhile, 67.6% of the patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy, started the treatment within 60 days. In addition, the waiting time was not significant for relapse outcomes, metastatic disease, and death due to breast cancer. These results demonstrate the need for proposals that can reduce waiting times to the first treatment, especially if the indication is surgery.

RESUMO

The objetive of this research was to conduct a study on accidental field burns in the county of Santa Maria-RS, Brazil to identify and characterize sites where they most frequently occur with the objective of helping in the planning and controlling of those burns. The variable of interest was the number of daily calls received by the Santa Maria Fire Department, from January 1st 1993 to December 31st 2004. It was observed that the Fire Department received on average 1.81 daily calls; that the calls were followed by a dry period of four days, on average; and most calls occurred during the afternoon and alongside the almost unhabited RS 287 highway. The month with the highest number of calls was August, and the year 1999 presented the highest occurrence number of field burns. Finally, the number of calls was equally distributed along the weekdays. The margins of the highways and the following city districts: Distrito Industrial, Medianeira, Itararé, Tomazzetti and Parque Pinheiro Machado presented the highest chances of burnings occurrence.
