This is a descriptive, documental survey aimed at analyzing the process indicators of the Prenatal Information System (Sisprenatal) in the municipality of Quixadá, State of Ceará. The records of 1544 pregnant women from 2001 through 2004 were studied. Data were collected from February through April, 2005 in Sisprenatal, located in the Epidemiology sector of the local Health Secretary. The results were presented in a single chart containing absolute and relative frequency. They were analyzed in the light of current literature and the authors' experience. In the period was verified a growing percentage of pregnant women with indicators of at least six appointments, all the basic exams, anti-HIV test, antitetanic immunization and puerperal consultation, from zero percent (2001), to 2.6% (2002), to 5.68% (2003) to 21.11% (2004). Thus it is necessary to improve the use of the system, as well as the systematic reading of the process indicators, in order to obtain subsidies for the enhancement of the quality of prenatal assistance.

Development of the Oral Microbiota

The establishment of the oral microbiome begins before birth, challenging the long-held belief that the fetal oral cavity is sterile. The presence of oral microbes such as Streptococcus and Fusobacterium in amniotic fluid suggests that microbial exposure may occur in utero, potentially through translocation from the maternal oral or gastrointestinal tract. This early colonization primes the neonatal immune system and sets the stage for subsequent microbial succession. Maternal health,...

It is further subdivided into two: standardized and individualized care plans. Standardized care plans are pre-populated care plans for specific patient populations,...
