Currently the four dengue virus serotypes circulating in all regions of the country, and this simultaneous movement features a scenario hyperendemicity disease, responsible for the increase of severe cases and deaths in the last decade. The first article is a descriptive study based on data collected for surveillance of dengue in the country, covering the main aspects of epidemiology and disease trends in Brazil during October 2001 until August 2014. During the analyzed period, there were approximately 6.9 million probable cases with more than two million in the years 2010 and 2013. The second half of the 2000s marked a period of more cases of dengue with complications (DCC) and Fever Dengue hemorrhagic (DHF), accompanied by an increase in the number of deaths from the disease. The results showed different patterns of incidence and hospitalization for the disease in regions throughout the study period. An analysis of clinical cases that were classified as DCC for the period 2011 to 2013 features was made, according to age group. Among the clinical characteristics considered more severe, there is the group that was classified as DCC not met the criteria for DHF which represented in 2011 and 2012, about 50% of the total cases in all age groups. The second article is an assessment of the sensitivity of the surveillance system to detect dengue cases hospitalized in the Unified Health System (SUS). For this study, a probabilistic linkage data from SINAN and SIH and the municipalities of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Belo Horizonte (MG), Fortaleza (CE), Natal (RN), São Luis (MA), Teresina (PI), Goiânia (GO), Campo Grande (MS), Manaus (AM) and Boa Vista (RR) was performed , for the period 2008-2013. The combination of the two systems allowed us to identify 69,935 hospitalizations representing increases of 50.3% and 31.1% in hospitalizations compared with SINAN (34,756 hospitalizations) and SIH / SUS (48,174 hospitalizations). The sensitivity of detection SINAN in hospitalized cases with hospitalization variable filled, was 26.7% ranging from 8.3% in 2009, 41.9% in 2013. The calculation of sensitivity including all records was almost twice as compared with the use of hospitalization variable filled. With this approach the cumulative sensitivity was 49.8% ranging from 41.2% in 2009, 76.5% in 2013. The study results represent a robust assessment of the epidemiology of dengue in Brazil. It was possible to estimate the burden of disease in order stratified by region and estimate the sensitivity of the surveillance system in ten major urban areas endemic and representative of their regions. / No Brasil, a dengue tem se apresentado como um dos principais problemas de saúde pública, e apesar dos investimentos e esforços das autoridades de saúde, a doença ainda permanece com alta incidência, sendo considerada um dos agravos com limitações no seu controle. Atualmente os quatro sorotipos do vírus circulam em todas as regiões do pais, e essa circulação simultânea caracteriza um cenário de hiperendemicidade da doença, responsável pelo incremento dos casos graves e óbitos na última década. O primeiro artigo é um estudo descritivo realizado a partir dos dados coletados pela vigilância da dengue no país, abordando os principais aspectos da epidemiologia e tendências da doença no Brasil.Foram analisados os casos de dengue registrados no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) e do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares (SIH/SUS) no período de outubro de 2001 a agosto de 2014. No período analisado, foram registrados aproximadamente 6,9 milhões de casos prováveis com mais de dois milhões nos anos de 2010 e 2013. A segunda metade da década de 2000 marca um período de maior ocorrência de casos de dengue com complicações (DCC) e Febre Hemorrágica da Dengue (FHD), acompanhados pelo aumento no número de óbitos pela doença. Nos períodos de 2008 a 2013 ocorreram aproximadamente 61.000 casos de DCC, 16.000 de FHD incluindo 3237 óbitos. Os resultados evidenciaram diferentes padrões das taxas de incidência e de hospitalização pela doença nas regiões ao longo do período do estudo. Em todas as regiões do país as maiores taxas são observadas na faixa etária que compreende o intervalo de 15 a 59 anos de idade. No entanto, algumas diferenças nesse padrão de ocorrência são observadas com o acometimento das faixas etárias extremas, crianças e idosos, com diferentes dinâmicas por região. Foi feita uma análise das características clínicas dos casos que foram classificados como DCC para o período de 2011 a 2013, de acordo com a faixa etária. Dentre as características clínicas consideradas de maior gravidade, no período de 2011 a 2013, destaca-se o grupo que foi classificado como DCC que não atendeu os critérios de FHD que representaram, em 2011 e 2012, cerca de 50% do total dos casos em todos os grupos etários. Outras características clínicas de destaque foram a ocorrência de extravasamento plasmático em crianças (13% em 2011 e 2012), insuficiência respiratória em maiores de 60 anos (4.8% em 2011 e 10.4% em 2013) e sangramento gastrointestinal na faixa etária de 15 a 59 anos (7.3% em 2011 e 18.8% in 2012). O segundo artigo é uma avaliação da sensibilidade do sistema de vigilância de dengue na detecção de casos hospitalizados no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Para esse estudo foi realizado um linkage probabilistico dos dados do SINAN e SIH dos municipios do Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Belo Horizonte(MG), Fortaleza(CE), Natal(RN), São Luis(MA), Teresina(PI), Goiânia(GO), Campo Grande(MS), Manaus(AM) e Boa Vista(RR) referente ao período de 2008 a 2013. A combinação dos dois sistemas permitiu identificar 69.935 hospitalizações o que representou aumentos de 50,3% e 31,1 % nas hospitalizações quando comparados com o SINAN (34.756 hospitalizações) e SIH/SUS (48.174 hospitalizações). A sensibilidade do SINAN na detecção de casos hospitalizados, com a variável hospitalização preenchida, foi de 26,7% variando de 8,3% em 2009 a 41,9% em 2013. Entre os municípios as maiores variações foram observadas no município de Goiânia (14,7%) e Campo Grande (53,2%). O cálculo da sensibilidade incluindo todos os registros foi quase duas vezes maior quando comparado com o uso da variável hospitalização preenchida. Com essa abordagem a sensibilidade acumulada foi de 49,8% variando de 41,2% em 2009 a 76,5% em 2013. As maiores variações foram observadas em Teresina (30,7%) e Campo Grande (89,9%). Os resultados dos estudos representam uma avaliação robusta da epidemiologia da dengue no Brasil. Foi possível estimar a carga da doença de forma estratificada por região e estimar a sensibilidade do sistema de vigilância em dez importantes áreas urbanas endêmicas e representativas de suas regiões. Confirmou-se o potencial do uso de diferentes bases de dados, usando métodos probabilísticos, como uma alternativa para aprimorar os sistemas de vigilância.

Enterprise systems are built for companies and used by the employees to complete work tasks. Focus on userdriven designs for consumer technology has led to expectations of user-friendly designs. Enterprise technology tends, however, to be more technology-driven rather than user-driven, creating unmatched expectations and mismatch between end-user and company objectives. This is why it is necessary to also consider enterprise systems from a user-driven perspective. Therefore, this study addresses user-driven enterprise designs through the Implicit Interaction Framework using a market surveillance system (MSS) as a case study. Practical design implementations and insights were gained through Research through Design (RtD), which were obtained from a survey to validate potential problems, mapping activities using the framework to gain design insights, and prototyped wireframes expressed through narrative video scenarios and evaluated with UX professionals to identify design directions. Three design directions were identified: Recall: Actions for Reminding, Collaboration: Anticipation of Intention, and Disruption: Supporting Ongoing State-Shifting. Control comes at the cost of disruption or risking wrongful actions, context of implicitness creates a trade-off between cognitive load and risk of errors, and lastly UX professionals might have to balance competing objectives in a situation where they collide. Furthermore, the Implicit Interaction Framework can guide enterprise UX designers and researchers to understand the interplay and interactions occurring between system and end-user. However, it is a translation where the complexity of enterprise systems is in some respects difficult to demonstrate, where better end-user experiences through implicit interactions should not be assumed. / Företagssystem är byggda för företag och används av de anställda för att slutföra arbetsuppgifter. Fokus på användardriven design inom konsumentteknik har lett till förväntningar på användarvänliga designer. Företagssystem tenderar dock att vara mer teknologidriven snarare än användardriven, vilket skapar oöverträffade förväntningar och oöverensstämmelse mellan slutanvändarnas och företagets mål. Det är därför nödvändigt att också betrakta företagssystem från ett användardrivet perspektiv. Därför behandlar den här studien användardrivna företagsdesigner genom ramverket ”Implicit Interaction Framework” där ett marknadsövervakningssystem ”market surveillance system” (MSS) används som fallstudie. Praktiska designimplementeringar och insikter nåddes genom Research through Design (RtD), som erhölls från en enkät för att validera potentiella problem, kartläggningsaktiviteter för att få designinsikter, och prototyper framhävda genom videoscenarier med berättarröst och som utvärderas med UX-yrkesverksamma personer för att identifiera designriktningar. Tre designriktningar identifierades: Komma ihåg: Åtgärder för att Påminna, Samverkan: Förväntan på Avsikt, och Avbrott: Stöd för Pågående Tillståndsändring. Kontroll har sitt pris genom avbrott eller risk för felaktiga handlingar, sammanhanget för implicititet skapar en avvägning mellan kognitiv belastning och risk för fel, och slutligen UX-yrkesverksamma kan behöva balansera konkurrerande mål i en situation där de kolliderar. Dessutom kan Implicit Interaction Framework vägleda UX-designers och forskare för att förstå samspelet och interaktionerna mellan system och slutanvändare. Det är dock en översättning där komplexiteten i företagssystem i vissa avseenden är svår att demonstrera, där bättre slutanvändarupplevelser genom implicita interaktioner inte bör antas.

Background: Screening rates for colorectal cancer (CRC) are increasing nationwide including Tennessee (TN); however, their up-to-date status is unknown. The objective of this study is to determine the trends and characteristics of TN adults who are up-to-date status with CRC screening during 2002-2008. Methods: We examined data from the TN Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System for 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008 to estimate the proportion of respondents aged 50 years and above who were up-to-date status with CRC screening, defined as an annual home fecal occult blood test and/or sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy in the past 5 years. We identified trends in up-to-status in all eligible respondents. Using multivariable logistic regression models, we delineated key characteristics of respondents who were up-to-date status. Results: During 2002-2008, the proportion of respondents with up-to-date status for CRC screening increased from 49% in 2002- 55% in 2006 and then decreased to 46% in 2008. The screening rates were higher among adults aged 65-74 years, those with some college education, those with annual household income ≥$35,000 and those with health-care access. In 2008, the respondents who were not up-to-date status with CRC screening included those with no health-care coverage (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 0.46, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.33-0.63), those aged 50-54 years (OR 0.62, 95% CI 0.46-0.82) and those with annual household income <$25,000 (OR 0.65, 95% CI 0.52- 0.82). Conclusions: TN adults who are up-to-date status with CRC screening are increasing, but not across all socio-demographic subgroups. The results identified specific subgroups to be targeted by screening programs, along with continued efforts to educate public and providers about the importance of CRC screening.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the epidemiology of injuries related to cribs, playpens, and bassinets among young children in the United States. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was done using data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System for children younger than 2 years of age treated in emergency departments in the United States from 1990 through 2008 for an injury associated with cribs, playpens, and bassinets. RESULTS: An estimated 181 654 (95% confidence interval: 148 548-214 761) children younger than 2 years of age were treated in emergency departments in the United States for injuries related to cribs, playpens, and bassinets during the 19-year study period. There was an average of 9561 cases per year or an average of 12.1 injuries per 10 000 children younger than 2 years old per year. Most of the injuries involved cribs (83.2%), followed by playpens (12.6%) and bassinets (4.2%). The most common mechanism of injury was a fall from a crib, playpen, or bassinet, representing 66.2% of injuries. Soft-tissue injuries comprised the most common diagnosis (34.1%), and the most frequently injured body region was the head or neck (40.3%). Patients with fractures were admitted 14.0% of the time, making them 5.45 (95% confidence interval: 3.80-7.80) times more likely to be hospitalized than patients with other types of injury. Children younger than 6 months were 2.97 (95% confidence interval: 2.07-4.24) times more likely to be hospitalized than older children. CONCLUSIONS: This study is the first to use a nationally representative sample to examine injuries associated with cribs, playpens, and bassinets. Given the consistently high number of observed injuries, greater efforts are needed to ensure safety in the design and manufacture of these products, ensure their proper usage in the home, and increase awareness of their potential dangers to young children.
