Background: Great changes in medicine have taken place over the last 25 years worldwide. These changes in technologies, patient risks, patient profile, and laws regulating the medicine have impacted the incidence of cardiac arrest. It has been postulated that the incidence of intraoperative cardiac arrest has decreased over the years, especially in developed countries.

- The study aims to assess the prevalence of intraoperative cardiac arrests and the 30-day survival rate in a teaching hospital over one year.
- A total of 52 cases of cardiac arrest occurred out of 40,379 anesthetic procedures, with a frequency of 13 per 10,000 procedures; 69% had spontaneous circulation return, but only 25% survived for 30 days.
- Factors like higher ASA physical status, emergency surgery, and specific causes of arrest were linked to lower survival rates, indicating a need for better outcomes in critical patients.
Purpose: to study infection prevalence by Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), among adolescent and young women in a family planning outpatient clinic.
Methods: a total of 230 women up to 24 years old and history of up to four sexual partners have been followed-up for 48 months, with urine collection to search CT and NG, by the polymerase chain reaction method at the 1st, 12nd, 24th, 36th and 48th months. The variables studied were age group, schooling, marital status, number of gestations, abortions and children alive, age at the onset of sexual life, previous and present use of condom, previous use of intrauterine device, number of sexual partners in the previous six months and follow-up time.
