ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Ligneous conjunctivitis is a rare chronic form of recurrent membranous inflammation and plasminogen deficiency. Ocular manifestations may be associated with sites other than mucous membranes, such as the oral cavity, internal ear, respiratory, genitals, and kidney. Treatment is extremely difficult because of the lack of topic plasminogen drops, and a high volume is required for systemic supplementation. This report aimed to present two patients with ligneous conjunctivitis treated with membrane excision, topical fresh-frozen plasma, and heparin intra-, and postoperatively. No recurrence was found in the ligneous membrane in the 12-month follow-up. The use of topical fresh-frozen plasma and heparin after membrane excision could be effective to avoid recurrence.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: A dor lombar crônica atinge níveis epidêmicos na população geral e informações sobre o perfil das pessoas atingidas podem ajudar a direcionar investimentos para seu controle. OBJETIVO: Estimar a prevalência de dor lombar crônica na população e identificar fatores associados. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal com base em inquérito populacional, desenvolvido em setores censitários da cidade de Salvador classificados por nível socioeconômico. Foram entrevistados 2.297 indivíduos em que se avaliou a presença de dor lombar através do mapa corporal. A análise exploratória dos fatores associados foi realizada pela regressão logística. RESULTADOS: A prevalência de dor lombar crônica na população foi de 14,7 por cento, com maior freqüência entre ex-fumantes (19,7 por cento), pessoas com circunferência da cintura acima da normalidade (16,8 por cento) e com escolaridade baixa (17,4 por cento) em relação com as demais categorias. Fatores como atividade física, classe social, consumo excessivo de álcool, raça, sexo e ocupação na época da entrevista não estiveram associados à dor lombar. Na análise de regressão múltipla, estado civil solteiro associou-se negativamente com dor lombar crônica, enquanto associações positivas e estatisticamente significantes foram observadas entre o tabagismo atual ou no passado e a dor lombar (OR 1,47; IC95 por cento; 1,11-1,96; p < 0,000). CONCLUSÃO: A população de Salvador apresenta alta prevalência de dor lombar crônica associada ao tabagismo.


INTRODUCTION: Chronic low back pain has epidemic levels in the general population and profiling the individuals affected may help directing investments to control the problem. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of chronic low back pain in the population and to identify associated factors. METHODS: Transversal study based on a population survey carried out in the sectors classified by the census in the city of Salvador according to socio-economic level. 2,297 individuals were interviewed in whom low back pain was evaluated through a bodily map. Exploratory analysis of associated factors was performed by logistic regression. RESULTS: Chronic low back pain prevalence in the population was 14.7 percent, with higher incidence among former smokers (19.7 percent), people with belly circumference above the range of normality (16.8 percent), and individuals with low level of schooling (17.4 percent) when compared to the other categories. Factors such as physical activity, social class, excessive alcohol intake, race, gender, and occupation at the time of the interview were not associated to low back pain. In the multiple regression analysis, being single was negatively associated to chronic low back pain, whereas positive and statistically significant associations were observed between current smoking or smoking in the past and low back pain (OR 1.47; IC95 percent; 1.11-1.96; p < 0.000). CONCLUSION: The population in Salvador shows high prevalence of chronic low back pain associated to smoking.
