Introduction: Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare systemic
inflammatory disease which occurs in young adults. The etiology of
AOSD is still unknown. It is characterized by fever, arthralgia, arthritis
initially in large joints, odynophagia, hepatosplenomegaly, skin rash,
anemia and lymphadenopathy.The disease is considered a diagnosis
of exclusion and the tests are unspecified. Nonsteroidal anti-inflam-
matory drugs are usually used first but in some cases glucocorticoids
and other drugs are needed. Case presentation: A 25-year-old Brazi-
lian man, who presented with arthralgia in his left knee and foot, in
October 2012. He was started on anti-inflammatories and analgesics
without any improvement. November 2013, He was admitted to a
very good hospital in the area with arthralgia in large joints, morning
stiffness after periods of prolonged rest, fever, dry cough, odynopha-
gia, hoarseness, pyrose, adynamia and weight loss. Laboratory tests
revealed Hemoglobin 9,7g/dL, Hematocrit : 31.8 %, leukocytes:
13000 batons 2%, platelets: 449000; 2.5% reticulocytes; negative
direct coombs ; normal hemoglobin electrophoresis ; C-reactive pro-
tein 384; Ferritin > 2000ng/ml; Iron 12 ng/ml; transferrin 113mg
dl hepatitis B and C, HIV and VDRL nonreactive; FAN reagent ;
Rheumatoid factor, anti ENA antibodies PANEL, native anti-DNA
anti-La, anti-Ro and anti-Sm, anti -RNP nonreactive; negative blood
culture and urine culture. Biopsy of the right axillary inguinal lym-
ph node revealed non-specific chronic reactive lymphadenitis with
no malignancy. Moreover, Echo revealed moderate pulmonary hy-
pertension, pericardial effusion and mild tricuspid regurgitation and
ejection fraction = 67 % ;Chest CT scan showed signs of pericardial
effusion of small volume. Abdominal CT scan showed moderate and
homogeneous hepatosplenomegaly. Lung X-ray was normal. It was
also performed direct laryngoscopy and there were no abnormalities.
After the exclusion of other diseases, the patient was diagnosed
with AOSD and he was treated with 40mg prednisone a day, 400mg
hydroxychloroquine a day. After three months of treatment, there
was improvement in his clinical picture and laboratory findings. Con-
clusions: AOSD is a rare entity that requires a great clinical suspicion
and it should be considered in patients after excluding a large list of
most frequent pathologies. Response to the treatment is satisfactory,
with good prognosis.

Introduction: Ethnobotanical studies prove the existence of a large
collection of medical plants whose therapeutic properties are already
popularly known. Bioactive compounds such as polyphenols found
in Camellia sinensis infusions ("green tea") play an important role
in certain pathologies such as: diabetes mellitus, cardiopathies, vi-
ral infections, inflammation and degenerative diseases like cancer.
Objectives: This study evaluated the antiulcerogenic activity of green
tea against acute gastric ulcers induced by ethanol, since this herb
is popularly known due to its likely gastroprotective effect. Methods:
Twenty one adult specimens of the Rattus norvegicus, Wistar strain,
were used. The rats were randomly divided into three groups: 1) Rats
treated with distilled water (5mL/kg, control group); 2) Rats treated
with green tea (5mL/kg); 3) Rats treated with carbenoxolone (200mg/
Kg, Standard). After 60 minutes of treatment, gastric ulcers were
induced by oral administration of 99.5% ethanol (5mL/kg). Thirty
minutes later, the rats were euthanized by overdose of Sodium Thio-
pental (100 mg/Kg). Then, their stomachs were removed and opened
through the lesser curvature to determine the Ulcerative Lesion Area
(ULA). In order to express the ULA as a percentage of stomach body
area, the Image software was used. The data collected was analyzed
by ANOVA, followed by a Tukey Test. The significance level was set at
p<0.05. Results: There was no statistically difference in the ALU Mean
± Standard error of the green tea group (27.2 ± 1.93) compared to
the control group (22.9 ± 0.98). The ALU's were significantly smaller
(p<0.01) between the group treated with carbenoxolone (1.4 ± 0.32)
and the control group. Conclusion: Substances found on C. sinesis
infusion, popularly known as green tea, such as catechins and fla-
vonoids, did not show a protective effect associated with the gastric
mucosa of rats exposed to acute ulceration induced by ethanol.

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia: A Case Report
Carlos Eduardo De Carvalho Sousa; Daniel Moura Nunes;
Lucas Soares Madeira; Julio Cesar Aires Ferreira Filho.
Introduction: Among the diseases with highest risk trigger potentia-
lly fatal ventricular arrhythmias is arrhythmogenic right ventricular
dysplasia (ARVD), which is a cardiac disorder group of cardiomyo-
pathies. The disease is characterized by necrosis of the myocytes
with fibrofatty and subsequent replacement by connective tissue.
Mainly affects the myocardium of the right ventricle (RV) and more
rarely, the left ventricle may also be affected, an additional risk fator.
ARVD is a progressive disease and uncertain evolution often respon-
sible for sudden cardiac death in young athletes and adults. Case
report: The patient is a 39 year old female, married, born and raised
in Grand Island-PI survivor rising death on two occasions. Presents
medical evidence that relates ventricular tachycardia (VT) at admis-
sion, ECG showed sinus rhythm with the presence of Epsilon, negati-
ve T wave in V1-V6, QT prolonged, ECHO showed an ejection fraction
of 37%, AE and AD with increased dimensions a marked degree,
with RV dimensions increased to a marked degree with moderate
systolic dysfunction and left ventricular dimensions preserved in ad-
missions. Currently makes use of Caverdilol and Amiodarone. In later
tests, magnetic resonance of the heart performed with the patient
showed significant dilation of the right chambers and aneurysms
of the RV free wall, moderate RV systolic dysfunction, myocardial
fibrosis of the RV free and compatible signs with arrhythmogenic
right ventricular dysplasia. Furthermore, the patient had another
major criterion and one minor criterion, respectively, ECG presence
of "epsilon waves or QRS duration increased> 100 ms in the right
precordial leads (V1- V2)" and presence of "tachycardia sustained
ventricular or not, with LBBB pattern". Final thoughts: ARVD is the
prevalence and incidence inaccurate due to difficulties and errors in
diagnosis. Thus, prospective studies are needed in order to identify
their natural history, assess the effectiveness of diagnostic methods
and the results of the treatments currently used (antirrítmicas drugs,
ablative methods, implantable defibrillator).

Introduction: Heart diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mor-
tality in the adult population. Atherosclerosis, heart disease where
there is accumulation of lipids and inflammatory cells in artery walls
form fatty plaques that clog vessels and create stenoses. The main
targets are the aorta and the coronary and cerebral arteries, the
main consequences acute myocardial infarction, cerebral ischemia,
and aortic aneurysm. This paper aims to present the case of steno-
sis of the left subclavian artery as a cause of myocardial ischemia
in a patient with coronary artery disease, emphasizing its therapy.
Case report: VPS, male, 69 years old, hypertensive, diabetic, under-
going coronary artery bypass grafting 8 years ago, was treated at the
outpatient clinic of a private hospital in Teresina-Pl, referring chest
pain on moderate exertion radiating to members exceeding 1 year.
Underwent exercise testing was suggestive of myocardial ischemia.
Performed shortly after cardiac catheterization that showed severe
lesions in the middle 1/3 of the right coronary artery lesion in left
main coronary artery of 50% in the distal third occluded circumflex in
the middle 1/3 of saphenous vein graft to the left marginal pervious
bridge artery left internal thoracic to left anterior descending (LITA-
DA) displayed by the left anterior descending coronary angiography
was not possible selective catheterization of the LITA-DA for the left
subclavian artery presented with severe lesions in the proximal 1/3.
On physical examination good overall condition. Decreased left ra-
dial pulse in the law, BP: 140/90 (right arm), physiological breath
sounds without adventitious sounds, normal heart sounds, regular
rhythm without murmurs in two stages. As a treatment strategy for
the patient underwent angioplasty of the left subclavian artery and
the day after, angioplasty of the right coronary artery was dischar-
ged three days later. After 30 days, the patient was referred to a
new exercise test which showed no clinically evolving myocardial
ischemia without chest pain. Final thoughts: Atherosclerotic disease
is progressive and systemic, so the case presented is of paramount
importance for a multiple approach of clinical and interventional
treatment is needed. Furthermore, few cases where severe obstruc-
tive lesions occur in large arteries (subclavian artery) as a cause of
myocardial ischemia and coronary disease.

Introduction: Keratoconus, corneal ectasia considered that increases
the curvature of the cornea, is a non-inflammatory degenerative pro-
cess of the cornea which can cause its irregular astigmatism thinning
leading to visual impairment. With still unknown etiology may be
related to atopy and other ocular diseases such as keratoconjuncti-
vitis, atopic dermatitis of eyelid laxity syndrome, leber's amaurosis,
down syndrome and ehler-danlos syndrome. Therefore, there are
many doubts as to its etiology, heredity, pathogenesis and bioche-
mistry. One of the major etiological factors suggested in the patho-
genesis of keratoconus is frequnte scratching eyes. The behavior
depends on the severity of the case, but the use of rigid contact len-
ses is still the main optical feature used. This report aimed to show
a patient with keratoconus, user-gas permeable lenses, diagnosed
and monitored by serial clinical examinations topographies and hard
contact. Besides showing factors that may have triggered the disease
progression and prognostic factors. Case report: Patient rlam, male,
21 years old, diagnosed with bilateral keratoconus 5 years. How to
conduct gas-permeable (rgp) rigid lenses were used because the
patient did not adapt to the soft contact lens. On first examination
of the topography in 2009, the patient had a pattern of astigmatism
outside normal limits in both eyes: right eye (od) 50.97 / 53.47 X 25
and left eye (oe) 45.66 48 85 X 110. Upon reaching the eye clinic,
the patient complained main complaints: impaired night vision, low
visual acuity, excessive sensitivity to light (photophobia) and quite
sensitive eyes. In the family there are no cases of keratoconus. From
2011 to 2012, it was observed that the advancing keratoconus in the
left eye, because in 2011 the keratometric measurements of the left
eye were as follows: 46.56/48.82 X 113. And in 2012 the measures
were 47.9750.43 X 112. In 2014, it was observed that the disease
continued to advance with the following measures keratometric od
49.1154.83 X 37 and oe 46.92 / 50.46 X 115. From this, the expert
suggested it be made a surgical procedure called crosslinking. Final
thoughts: The chronicity of the disease and the absence of proper
diagnosis and treatment can lead to remodeling of superficial ocular
tissue with irreversible eye damage and vision loss. Keratoconus is
the leading cause of corneal transplants in brazil and in the world,
but are rare cases leading to blindness. The use of contact lenses
in patients with keratoconus is considered when the glasses do not
provide good vision. Therefore, it is known the importance of regular
ophthalmologic monitoring.

Introduction: Mammography is the imaging method most widely
used for the screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. It is con-
sidered the gold standard among exam conducted in mastology
primarily by its low cost and relative sensitivity. In the evolution
of mammography standardization of reports was necessary to fa-
cilitate computerization and comparison of results. Systematization
called BI-RADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System) was then
created by the American College of Radiology. This classification is
a tool for mammographic assessment used worldwide establishing
risks, predicts the evolution and guides behavior. Objectives: To exa-
mine the categorization of mammographic findings, as well as the
quantification of mammograms in each of their classes and predict
the behaviors of recommendation for each category. Methods: This
was an epidemiological, descriptive and quantitative study based on
secondary data for the period 2011-2013 collected from the Informa-
tion System of Breast Cancer (SISMAMA) concerning mammograms
performed in women aged 40-69 years in Piauí. Results: During the
reporting period 71 802 mammograms were performed, with 65 360
(91%) aged 40-69 years. Regarding classification, using the criteria
of BI-RADS, the BI-RADS category o corresponded to 10.78% of mam-
mograms; 59.72% of cases were classified in BI-RADS category 1, the
interpretation of which indicates the absence of benign or malignant
findings and in 100% of cases the recommendation is adopted to
conduct mammogram every two years. Ranked 27.63% of mammo-
grams in BI-RADS category 2. The conduit used for category 2 was
the same as category 1, since both have the same risk of developing
cancer. The BI-RADS categories 3 and 4, it is understood about 1%
of cases each. The conduct addressed in the BI-RADS 3 was con-
ducting a mammogram after 6 months. The BI-RADS 4 headed for
histopathological study, the same indicated for the BI-RADS 5 (0.17%
of cases). Only 7 mammograms were classified in BI-RADS 6. Con-
clusion: Mammographic evaluation using the BI-RADS classification
method allows an adequate standardization of reports, which helps
in comparing tests by different radiologists and approaches to be
taken against mammographic findings specific, eliminating conflicts
between mammographic reports of different professionals, as well
as the medical conduct to be followed.

Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of
death in polytrauma patients and generates morbidity especially in
the most productive age group. There is no consensus on the clinical
and epidemiological variables associated with such morbidity. Simi-
larly, the predictive factors for mortality secondary to TBI are not stri-
kingly known because of that available studies have methodological
limitations. Objective: To identify factors associated with in-hospital
mortality in patients with TBI admitted to the Intensive Care Unit
(ICU) of the Urgency Hospital of Teresina (HUT). Methodology: This
was a descriptive and retrospective study whose sample included
patients with TBI admitted to the ICU of HUT during the period from
January to December 2011. Patients who were not possible to collect
variables for monitoring until hospital discharge were excluded. We
defined as variables the epidemiological characteristics associated
