Organ donation and transplantation in Brazil: university students' awareness and opinions.
This study was aimed at assessing university students' awareness and opinions about aspects of the law no. 10.221/01. This exploratory study was performed among students at the São Paulo Federal University-UNIFESP, from 2001 to July 2002, including 1284 undergraduates in the following courses: nursing, medicine, speech and language therapy, biomedicine, and ophthalmic technology. That data show that 47.7% (333) of undergraduates are aware of the kind of donation established by the new law. Among the adolescents of first and second grades, and courses, there was a difference on the awareness about the kind of donation (P =.000). Most undergraduates (57.6%, 402) agree with consented donation. However, the high percentage--35.1% (245)--that chose the alternative "I don't know" is remarkable. Results show that many undergraduates are unaware of the specifications of the technical files for transplants; only 48.3% (337) of them chose the correct answer, and 79.4% (554) do not believe that the order in the waiting list for transplants is respected. The conclusion is that it is worth emphasizing is that there are different opinions and levels of awareness among students, considering age, religion and religious practice, and course and level at school. In spite of unawareness and lack of belief in the principles of distribution of organs and tissue, most students are willing to be donors (68.2%).

[The etiology and epidemiology of dermatophytoses in Goiânia, GO, Brazil].
Dermatophytoses are superficial infections that may lead to lesions of keratinized tissues, like skin, hair and nails. A total of 6068 individuals from Goiânia, GO, with suspected dermatophytic lesions were examined over a period of five years (1993-1997) in order to determine the incidence and etiology of dermatophytosis. Material collected from different body parts was submitted to direct microscopic examination using KOH, cultured in Sabouraud agar and microscopically examined for colony morphology, with the identification of 1595 dermatophytes. Trichophyton rubrum (37.4%), T. mentagrophytes (36.4%) and Microsporum canis (16%) were the species most frequently isolated. Dermatophytes were more frequently found producing lesions in the feet (30.5%), inguinal and crural regions (17.8%) and glabrous body regions (15.5%). The distribution of the different infected body sites was determined in terms of the respective etiologic agents found. Better hygiene conditions and an early diagnosis are the most important tools to control and reduce the incidence of dermatophytosis in Goiânia, GO.
