Objective: To understand the knowledge, perceptions and care practices of women who have contracted the Zika virus during pregnancy.
Methods: Qualitative, descriptive-exploratory study. The data collection was carried out with 10 women who contracted the Zika virus during pregnancy, through an open interview in a municipality of the Central-West Region, Brazil, in 2017. The analysis of the thematic content allowed to present two categories. The study respected the ethical aspects for research with human beings.
Results: The knowledge of infected pregnant women was reduced to little information, being the source of the information the Internet and the television, with little expression of the health services. Fear and concern about the baby are present in the feelings influencing the care practices in the gestation period.
Conclusion: Pregnant women receive little information from the health services and their prevention practices are related to the fear of transmitting the infection to the baby during pregnancy.

Aims: This evaluation aimed to review the IV sedation service for patients with profound acquired brain injury within the dental department at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability.

Background: Anxiety disorders are common in alcohol use disorder (AUD) treatment patients. Such co-occurring conditions ("comorbidity") have negative prognostic implications for AUD treatment outcomes, yet they commonly go unaddressed in standard AUD care. Over a decade ago, we developed and validated a cognitive behavioral therapy intervention to supplement standard AUD care that, when delivered by trained therapists, improves outcomes in comorbid patients.
