with the trauma variables and factors arising from clinical manage-
ment in the ICU. Statistical analysis was performed using multivaria-
te logistic regression analysis considering in-hospital death, as the
dependent variable and the other variables described as indepen-
dent. Value of less than 5% "p" is considered to discard null hypothe-
sis and confidence interval of 95%. Results: The sample comprised
87 patients with TBI with a mean age of 28.93 ± 12.72 years and
male predominance (88.5%). Regarding the severity of the trauma,
64 (73.6%) suffered severe TBI. The rate of in-hospital mortality was
33.33%. In the initial univariate analysis, there was significant corre-
lation of in-hospital deaths with the following variables: the reported
use of alcohol (p = 0.016), blood transfusion during hospitalization
(p = 0.036) and mechanical ventilation (p = 0.002). Conclusion: The-
re was a higher frequency of young adult male patients with TBI.
We identified high rates of in-hospital mortality. Administration of
blood products and the duration of mechanical ventilation were the
variables independently correlated with in-hospital mortality after
multivariate analysis.

Introduction: Cushing's syndrome is the result of excessive produc-
tion of hormones by the cortical region of the adrenal gland (gluco-
corticoids, mineralocorticoids and androgens). Endogenous causes of
Cushing's syndrome are rare, with an approximate annual incidence
of 10: 1,000,000 people. In most cases, it affects more women than
men at a ratio of 8: 1 to Cushing's syndrome (pituitary ACTH-produ-
cing tumor), 4: 1 adrenal adenomas and 2: 1 adrenal carcinomas.
Cushing's syndrome by ectopic ACTH-dependent secretion of ACTH
affects more men than women. ACTH-dependent hypercortisolism
affects about 80% of cases of Cushing's syndrome, 85% of these
are Cushing's syndrome, and 15% had tumor ectopic ACTH producer.
Case report: Patient RCSR, 42, female, enters the hospital with galac-
torrhea frame, menstrual irregularity and headache. She denied hy-
pertension or other comorbidities. Had a BMI of 22.5 kg/m2 and were
absent classic signs of hypercortisolism. Tests performed at the time:
PRL = 69 ng/ml, 78 ng/ml and 62 ng/ml. MRI of the hypothalamic-pi-
tuitary region revealed pituitary macroadenoma. Bromocriptine was
started at a dose of 5 mg/day. In 1992, new tests revealed: PRL = 1.2
ng/ml, TSH = 2.4 µUi/ml, total T4 = 9.0 ng/dl, basal cortisol = 25 μg/dl
and cortisol after 1 mg dexamethasone night = 17 µg/dl. Repeated,
MRI showed no change in tumor volume. It was then forwarded
to surgery. Four months after surgery, the patient was asymptoma-
tic, with regular menstrual cycles without use of bromocriptine. The
exams: PRL = 8.8 ng/ml, TSH = 2.6 μU/ml, total T4 = 7.5 ng/dl, basal
cortisol = 9.5 μg/dl, RM: tumor tissue attached to the right cavernous
sinus. New investigation to hypercortisolism demonstrated: cortisol
after 1 mg dexamethasone night = 7.3 µg/dl, cortisol after dexa-
methasone 0.5 mg of 6 in 6 hours for 48 hours = 8.3 µg/dl, urinary
free cortisol = 69,9 μc / 24 and plasma ACTH = 46pg/ml. Immunohis-
tochemical study of the tumor was performed in another hospital, 1
year after surgery, showing more than 70% of the cells were positive
for ACTH. Conclusion: Despite advances, Cushing's syndrome is still a
challenge for endocrinologists, neurosurgeons and radiologists with
regard to diagnosis and medical and surgical treatment.

Churg Strauss Vasculitis - A Case Report
Víctor Manfrinni Magalhães Lima Martins; Talita Maria Leal
Barros; Haline Meneses Parente; Ana Luísa De Rezende Al-
meida; Felipe Soares Oliveira Portela; Gabriela Lustosa Said.
Introduction: Churg Strauss vasculitis (CSV) is also known as eosino-
philic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Diagnosis is mainly clinical
which requires the presence of four or more of the six conditions:
moderated to severe asthma, Peripheral eosinophilia (>10% or 1,5 x
109/L), mono or polyneuropathy, migratory or transient pulmonary
opacities, abnormalities of the paranasal sinuses and extra-vascu-
lar eosinophils on biopsy. Although the etiology is not completely
defined, it is suggested allergic symptoms or immune mediated.
Treatment includes glucocorticoids and in a small number of cases
cytotoxic medicines and immunoglobulin is administered. Case pre-
sentation: A 61 years old woman was admitted for dermatome hy-
poesthesia in lateral right leg, shoulders arthritis, metacarpophalan-
geal joints of hands and wrists, metatarsophalangeal and proximal
interphalangeal joints of both feet. Furthermore, there was purpura
on the back of her feet and palms. She has been suffering from
asthma and sinusitis for 14 years using inhaled corticosteroids and
due to diabetes using 20U NPH of insulin. Her laboratory test results
were as follows: normocytic and normochromic anemia (Hb: 10,2g
/dL Ht: 31.9 %), leukocytosis (17000/mm3), eosinophilia (35%)
and thrombocytosis (724,000/mm3), high ESR (40mm/h), positive
P-anca and negative C-anca. Thereafter, histopathological skin biop-
sy was performed and the results were leukocytoclastic vasculitis
with mixed inflammatory infiltrate with neutrophils and eosinophils.
Tomography scans of paranasal sinuses shows pan- sinusitis with
occlusion of the ostium of the right maxillary sinus opacification of
the sinus and ethmoid cells. The chest X-ray only revealed marked
dorsal kyphosis. In addition, a high dosage of corticosteroids was
promptly started. She was found in even better condition at subse-
quent follow-up visits. Conclusions: Churg Strauss vasculitis (CSV)
is one of the rarest systemic vasculitis, with less than 2,5 people
in a million population have being diagnosed each year. Although
the diagnosis is fairly difficult, it is always important to be aware of
those symptoms as vasculitis, asthama or rhinosinusitis.

Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the major determinant of
morbidity and mortality in people with ages between 1 and 44 years
old. Severe TBI is associated with a mortality rate of 30% to 70%, and
survivors carry severe neurological damage and impairment quality
of life. The knowledge of epidemiological characteristics in this pa-
tient population is crutial for the development of basic guidelines
and prevention programs. Objective: To study the epidemiology cha-
racteristics of TBI patients admitted in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
of the Emergency Hospital of Teresina Professor Zenon Rocha (HUT),
Pl during the year of 2011. Methodology: This was a quantitative
study, descriptive and retrospective, that studied every patient ad-
mitted to the ICU with the diagnosis of TBI in the period from January
to December of 2011. The data was collected from medical records
and recorded on a standardized form that included epidemiological
characteristics and factors related to trauma, age, gender, causal
factor TBI, clinical aspects and established treatment. Patients whose
medical records were incomplete were excluded from the study. The
data was organized through the 2010 Excel Program. The results were
presented as average, standard deviation and percentages of the fre-
quencies. Results: The predominant age in the sample studied was
between 21 and 30 years old (39.1%) and of male gender (88,5%).
Most subjects (94.3%) did not have comorbidities and there was no
associated systemic trauma (40%). The predominant causative factor
was motorcycle accident (75.9%) with severe TBI present in 73.6%
patients. The presence of multiple lesions was the most frequent
tomographic finding (31.0%) and surgery was the most commonly
used therapy (60.9%). Alcohol consumption before the traumatic
event was confirmed in 17 patients (19.5%). The rate of in-hospital
mortality was 33.33%. Conclusion: Young male are the most frequent
subjects involved in accidents leading to TBI. Motorcycle accidents
are the most common event. We identified high rates of in-hospital
mortality and these patients required a high frequency of surgical
management despite the reduced frequency of associated systemic
trauma.

Clinical Evaluation Of The Quality Of Bisacodyl In Preparation
For Colonoscopy
Maria Clara Fortes Portela Barbosa; Patrícia Barros Aquino
Silva; Antônio Moreira Mendes Filho.
Introduction: Colonoscopy is the examination of the large intestine,
performed endoscopically, the main indication is the identification of
polyps and detecting tumors at an early stage, increasing the chance
of cure. To achieve the same prior mechanical cleaning is needed,
several drugs can be used as bisacodyl and mannitol. Objective:
The aim of this study was to compare the use of two solutions
regarding the tolerability, acceptability and effectiveness in bowel
preparation for colonoscopy in patients undergoing this exam for
several indications. Methods: The study was conducted in a public
referral hospital in the state of Piaui. This is a prospective, randomi-
zed study with a qualitative approach. The study was conducted in
five months. A sample of 54 patients divided into two groups, the
first received bisacodyl and mannitol 10 % and the second group,
received mannitol 10 % was used. Results: According to the accep-
tability of the patient, there is no association between the use of
bisacodyl and acceptance of the examination (p = 0.105); regarding
tolerability, patients using bisacodyl, had more abdominal cramping
(p = 0.012) compared to those who did not use; regarding the qua-
lity of the preparation (according to the scale of Boston), the use
of bisacodyl on the eve determined not signicant improvement (p.
= 0.468). Conclusions: The results were important to highlight that
the use of bisacodyl medicine may be waived in some situations, as
in our sample, the quality of preparation with or without their use,
was not affected.

Collision Tumor: Case Report
Antonio José Silva Meneses Filho; Ânderson Batista Rodri-
gues; Luis Eduardo De Oliveira Filho; Teresinha Castello
Branco Cavalcante; Jerúsia Oliveira Ibiapina; Lina Gomes Dos
Santos.
Background: Collision tumor is a rare phenomenon characterized by
the coexistence of two different tumors on the same organ, forming
a single lesion. Although some cases have been well documented
in organ sistems like gastrointestinal tract and lungs, few of them
were observed on the kidneys. Thus far, fewer than ten cases of re-
nal involvement have been reported in the literature. These tumors
can occur as a combination of any known histological subtypes and
their prognosis is often determined by the high-grade component. In
patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma, collision tumors usually
arise from synchronous neoplasms of the collecting duct, colorec-
tal, prostate, bladder and non-Hodgkin lymphomas. We report the
case of a renal collision tumor composed of a neuroendocrine tumor
of the pancreas and a clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Case report:
Coming from an emergency service, a 40-year-old male sought an
oncology hospital with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. A computer
tomography (CT) showed a wide tumor on the left kidney consis-
tent with a typical neoplastic process, without spleen and pancreas
cleavage planes, besides solid nodules on the right kidney. Blood
count, urinalysis, and bone scans were normal. The left kidney and
adrenal, pancreas (body-tail), spleen and large intestine segment
were removed in an exploratory laparotomy. Histopathological study
of the surgical specimen revealed a neuroendocrine carcinoma of the
pancreas (24.0 x 18,0cm) with left kidney, spleen and colon invasion
and a clear cell carcinoma of the left kidney (3.5 x 2.5cm). In the im-
mediate postoperative period, patient developed an intra-abdominal
abscess and a pancreatic fistula. A new CT scan showed residual /
recurrent lesion on the head pancreas (4.1 x 3.0cm) and liver me-
tastasis, what indicated to chemotherapy. Eleven months after the
laparotomy, patient had episodes of vomiting and dizziness, and a
skull magnetic resonance imaging showed brain nodules suggesting
metastasis, and then it was given radiotherapy treatment. Conclu-
sion: The simultaneous presentation of two cancers in the same
organ characterizes the so-called collision tumor. Tumors formed by
the coexistence of a neoplasm of the pancreas in the kidney together
a clear cells renal cell carcinoma are rare events, whose prognosis is
determined by the highest degree component.

Soares; Francisco Carlos De Moura; Daianny Macedo De Sou-
sa Rego; Ediwyrton De Freitas Morais Barros.
Introduction: It is polemic issue that talks about what happens with
patients suffering from mental disorder in Piauí, in view of what the
law requires. It is observed overcrowding of the Areolino de Abreu
Hospital (HAA) on account of patients referred by the judiciary in
safety measure while population who cares hospitalization is under-
served due to lack of beds. It is about the impossibility of reconci-
ling all these attendances at Areolino de Abreu Hospital, failing to
exhaust the service to the community. It can be asserted that the
Law 10.216/2001 brought changes and redirected the mental health
care model promoting the necessity of respect for the individual
with mental disorder. However, the value of a medical expertise that
indicates when the patient has conditions of social reinsertion is
not being taken account. Such that the the Law of Psychiatric Re-
form determines the treatment has the purpose a permanent social
reintegration of the patient in its environment, and hospitalization
shall be provided only when the resources do not cover intrahospital
model show themselves seriously defective or inappropriate, ques-
tions had arised to be reflected about the practices currently applied
to our current models. Objectives: The study aims to oppose the law
10.21601 to the reality of HAA, regarding the Reduction of Beds
Policy that directly affects vacancies for the community. Methods:
This is a study of character embodied in the theoretical analysis of
the relevant legislative text and document files in the Psychiatric Ins-
titution "Areolino de Abreu Hospital", about the number of patients
in a safety measure, a survey of the Centers for Psychosocial Care
"CAPS (in portuguese)". Results: The HAA has 160 beds, 40 of these
being occupied by people with mental disorders in conflict with the
law. Of these, 32 were male and 08 were female. The period of hos-
pitalization varies from months to indefinite time for justice, many
of whom have trouble with the fact that the family no longer want
to receive them. Conclusion: It's a hard reality, but that needs to be
faced to arise the necessary measures capable to bring benefits to
the community. It is suggested as an alternative to judicial the cons-
truction of therapeutical shelters equipped with a multidisciplinary
team focused on social rehabilitation of these patients.

Pereira de Macêdo; Rômulo Ferreira Rocha; Edemir Veras de
Carvalho Júnior; Luiz Evaldo de Moura Pádua.
Introduction: In Brazil, it is estimated that SUS (Sistema Único de
Saúde) is responsible for 80% of coronary artery bypass grafting
(CABG). Different variables that interfere in success of CABG can be
cited: the type of surgery (elective / urgent / emergency), comorbi-
dities and clinical status of the patient. PLAMTA (Plano Médico de
Assistência e Tratamento) is a health plan subsidized by the govern-
ment. Public servants of the State are entitled to receive this service,
which covers the patient only for surgeries. If the patient requires
consultations diagnostic tests should perform them by SUS, have
another health plan or pay for services. In Piauí, the informations
are restricted on these services. Objectives: Compare the outcomes
of patients undergoing to CABG in reference hospital of Piauí to hos-
pital discharge or death by the public and private system. Methods:
Retrospective analysis performed by analysis of medical records of
patients who underwent to CABG between 2009 and 2013 proceeded
with support from the public service and private plans. Age, gender,
EuroSCORE and evolution to hospital discharge or death of the pa-
tients were recorded. Datas registereds in the frequency range were
analyzed by chi-squared test (c2), comparison between groups was
used the Mann-Whitney test and the qualitative variables submitted
to the Spearman's test (rs), all with p-value <0.05 for significance.
The Research Ethics Committee of the São Marcos Hospital appro-
ved the process under number 513 488 on 02/11/14. Results: 303
