Exploratory descriptive study, through the application of the instrument QuALiSMental to a representative sample of 4938 adolescents and young adults aged between 14 and 24 years, attending schools in the 3rd cycle of basic and secondary education of the central region of Portugal.The recognition of the vignette of alcohol abuse by the participants is high (72.4%), although it is also identified as alcoholism (70.3%), which indicates the perception of the problem as serious. Participants have modest levels of literacy in the remaining components, preferring informal sources of help.Therefore, we conclude that there is a need to implement school programs that promote mental health literacy, to promote the adoption of healthy behaviors in young people, which transfer them into adulthood.

Patologia do Ouvido Interno Imunomediada

Immune-mediated inner ear disease may occur as an organ-specific pathology - autoimmune inner ear disease - or in the context of a systemic autoimmune disease. This is because the inner ear can create a local immune response with vestibulocochlear damage that may occur due to autoantibody damage, immune complex deposition or vasculitis with microcirculation ischemia. The etiology of autoimmune inner ear disease is not yet clearly defined but the damage is presumed to be due to autoantibodies directed to inner ear proteins, the most studied being the anti-68 kDa, anti-Hsp70 and anti-cochlin proteins. The challenge in diagnosing this type of pathology arises not only because of the absence of specific analytical markers, but also because of the wide variety of systemic pathologies that may manifest with audiovestibular symptoms. However, early treatment is preponderant since hearing loss may be reversible.
