Objective: In view of the scarcity of research aimed at patients with special needs in our region, this study aims to identify the pathologies, such as age, gender, place of origin and prevalence of caries and periodontal disease in patients enrolled in a public dental service in Belém aimed at the care of people with special needs. Method: Retrospective cross-sectional study, where the data collected in the medical records of the patients enrolled in SIDOPE-UFPA were analyzed. Results: At the end of the data collection, 219 medical records of patients eligible to participate in the study were divided into groups, such as Behavioral Disorder (27.85%), Non-Progressive Brain Encephalopathy (10.5%), Syndromes and malformations (8.7%), Intellective deficit (7.76%), among others. The prevalence of caries was 71.23% and Periodontal Disease was 23.7%; (61.6%) and Belém (62.5%) were the most prevalent place of origin. Conclusion: According to the research, most patients still need treatment, due to the high caries index found, and mainly preventive measures so that these numbers can be reduced in the future. It was also observed the complexity and variety of diseases in the patients enrolled, and the incidence of rare syndromes that should and should be studied more specifically, not only by dentistry, but also by professionals from other areas, emphasizing the importance of care multiprofessional approach to these patients.

The article brings an analysis of the contemporary human subjectivity with the psychoanalysis of Sigmund Schlomo Freud. Within the psyche of every human being, where the unconscious keeps memories, desires, pleasures, anguishes, repressions, often incontestable, causes the subject to relate them to pain, as something to be avoided. Today, in the face of contemporaneity, one observes that subjectivity is intertwined with the fear of discovering itself, with the fear of facing its own history and reality, seeking only to live momentarily, to live the present, to live the uncreated, without perspectives. In this context it is observed that the figure of Freud, or rather, the emblematic psychoanalysis, gains space more and more for his rescue, from when it was postulated. The search for happiness that most people believe to exist is implicitly linked to the action and attitude of every human being, since we know ourselves as such, independent of concrete subjective worlds or not. Therefore, the place of psychoanalysis, in the face of this context, is understood as a contraposition to the avoidance of pain, characteristic of the pursuit of present happiness.

Telangiectasias and microvessels are the most common types of varicose veins, usually their appearance is related to genetic susceptibility, normally affecting the lower limbs of the body. The PEIM (Aesthetic Injectable Procedure in Microvessels) has been widely used to eliminate telangiectasias and microvessels. Therefore, the objective was to describe the effectiveness of liquid sclerosing agents in the treatment of telangiectasias and microvessels. This work is part of a literary review covering the period between 1986 and 2020 using Scielo, Google Scholar and Pubmed platforms. Telangiectasias and microvessels generally do not present health problems, most of the time the problem is esthetic without pathological character. Currently, there are several sclerosing substances used in the treatment, in this case, hypertonic glucose is identified as one of the most used sclerosing agents, because, even though a treatment takes a little longer to obtain results, it is a little painful, the risk of complications is lower and procedure value is affordable. Although the sclerotherapy technique has been used for a long time, so far no sclerosant with absence and complications and totally effective has been discovered, even though there are case studies that report to the contrary, thus, this literature review shows that more studies are needed. to prove the efficacy and safety of hypertonic glucose.

Contextualization of the objective: Motor experiences in the liquid or terrestrial environment are part of children's behavior, helping children to master the environment, making them autonomous and self-assured. Objective: To report the experience of six months of intervention with water activities for 21 children, of both sexes, aged between three and four years old in an academy in São Luís. Method: The water activities classes lasted forty minutes, they were held twice a week and the classes had an average of eight to ten children aged three to four years. The class was divided into three moments: setting with the environment and with people, the second moment of displacements with floating material and the third moment there were jumps and dives followed by displacements. After a period of six months of intervention, an observational assessment consisting of eight items, with four sub-items each, was applied. The evaluation was applied during a class and the teachers selected a group of children to make the observations and apply the proposed exercises according to the evaluated item. Results: It was found that all children developed the skills proposed in the assessment items, receiving excellent ratings, with the exception of the item "backstroke legs propulsion" in which seven students, four of which had a good rating, three had a very good result. Final considerations: after six months of intervention, it was noticed that there were positive results in the expansion of learning the contents and refinement of the proposed movements, confirming the hypothesis that, within the proposed period, there were benefits in learning to swim.
