Abstract: Malformation syndrome caused by genetic mutation of chromosome 22 was described in 1965 by Angelo DiGeorge, an italo-american doctor. He observed a common clinical picture in a group of children characterized by cardiac malformation, recurrent infection due to absence of thymus and a typical fenotipic aspect of these children. Only in 1992 the chromosomal anomaly was found as a result of studies based on Fluorescence In Situ Hybridation technique (F.I.S.H.). In this report it is described a case of a stillbirth during the second gestational trimester with multiple malformations that are suspected for syndrome of chromosome 22 deletion. The present case is an example of what careful macroscopic and microscopic examinations can be able to identify syndromic defects attributable to chromosome 22 mutations.

Abstract: Analyze the psychosocial aspects of workers in the timber industry and its relationship with the social support. The study sample was composed of 146 workers from the production sector of two furniture industries which was divided in two groups: Group 1 (study) and Group 2 (control). The Group Study was formed by 80 workers and the Group Control of 66 workers. The instrument used to assess the common mental disorders was the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ) was used to evaluate the psychosocial factors at work environment. The results showed significant differences at the Decision Latitude (p=0,04) and Job Insecurity (p=0,01) dimensions when comparing the groups of workers. There were not significant differences in the others variables. The study had significance for the variables decision latitude and job insecurity for those aspects of professional workers in the work environment.
