ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Introduction: The use of clear aligners as an alternative to fixed orthodontic appliances has become popular due to the aesthetic demands of adult patients seeking orthodontic treatment. However, orthodontists' lack of knowledge about the legal consequences of their activities, and the lack of solid scientific evidence raise concerns regarding civil liability in this type of treatment. Marketing campaigns of manufacturing companies often exaggerate promises of results, and ignore the lack of scientific evidence. Patients, as consumers, are protected by the Consumer Protection Code, whereas orthodontists are considered treatment providers. Therefore, they can be held liable for damage caused to patients, whether by subjective or objective fault. Objective: This article aims to identify the civil responsibilities of orthodontists and aligner manufacturing companies, by means of a literature review, providing basic legal guidance to help professionals protect themselves from possible lawsuits related to treatment with orthodontic aligners. Conclusions: The study highlights the importance of knowledge of legal notions in treatments with orthodontic aligners by orthodontists, who should legally safeguard themselves through individual written contracts, avoiding obligation of results. In addition, in cases of legal claims, it is possible that the manufacturing companies are jointly and severally liable for possible damages claimed by the patient.


RESUMO Introdução: O uso de alinhadores transparentes como alternativa aos aparelhos ortodônticos fixos tem se tornado popular, devido às demandas estéticas dos pacientes adultos em busca de tratamento ortodôntico. No entanto, a falta de conhecimento dos ortodontistas sobre as consequências jurídicas de suas atividades, e a falta de evidências científicas sólidas levantam preocupações em relação à responsabilidade civil nesse tipo de tratamento. Muitas vezes, as campanhas de marketing das empresas fabricantes exageram nas promessas de resultados e desconsideram a falta de evidências científicas. O paciente, como consumidor, é protegido pelo Código de Defesa do Consumidor, e o ortodontista é considerado um fornecedor de tratamento. Portanto, ele pode ser responsabilizado por danos causados ao paciente, seja por culpa subjetiva ou objetiva. Objetivo: Identificar, por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica, as responsabilidades civis dos ortodontistas e das empresas fabricantes de alinhadores, fornecendo orientações jurídicas básicas para ajudar os profissionais a se protegerem de possíveis demandas judiciais relacionadas ao tratamento com alinhadores ortodônticos. Conclusões: O estudo destaca a importância do conhecimento de noções jurídicas em tratamentos com alinhadores ortodônticos, devendo o profissional resguardar-se juridicamente por meio de contratos individuais por escrito, prevenindo-se de assumir uma obrigação de resultado com o paciente. Além disso, em casos de demandas judiciais, é possível que as empresas fabricantes respondam solidariamente a possíveis danos reclamados pelo paciente.

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the influence of chronic pain on functionality and its consequences on work and patient income. METHODS: A total of 103 patients from the Multidisciplinary Pain Center of the Clinics Hospital of Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais were interviewed between January 2020 and June 2021, applying questionnaires on mobile devices. Socioeconomic data, multidimensional characterization of pain, and instruments for assessing pain functionality and intensity were analyzed. Pain intensity was categorized as mild, moderate, or intense for comparative analysis. Ordinal logistic regression was used to identify risk factors and variables that jointly influence the outcome of pain intensity. RESULTS: The patients had a median age of 55 years, were predominantly female, married or in a stable relationship, white race, and completed high school. The median family income was R$2,200. Most patients were retired due to disability and pain-related causes. Functionality analysis showed severe disability directly associated with pain intensity. The financial impacts observed were correlated with the pain intensity of the patients. Age was a risk factor for pain intensity, while sex, family income, and duration of pain served as protective factors. CONCLUSION: Chronic pain was associated with severe disability, decreased productivity, and exit from the labor market, with a negative impact on financial condition. Age, sex, family income, and duration of pain were directly associated with pain intensity.

ABSTRACT

Aim: Facial orthopaedic treatments based on the stimulation or restrictions of craniofacial bone growth are more effective when carried out during the pubertal growth spurt. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the reproducibility of two cervical vertebrae methods (CVM) with manual tracing and direct visual inspection. Methods: A sample of 60 lateral cephalometric radiographs (10 of each of the 6 CVM stages) was randomly selected from 171 records. 5 orthodontists classified these radiographs according to the skeletal maturation stage in 2002 and 2005, and the application of both methods was conducted by direct visual inspection and evaluation through manual tracing. Results: The average reliability of the two methods determination and the two forms of evaluation was substantial. The direct visual inspection evaluation showed the highest reliability and agreement interexaminer values for both methods, as well as the intraexaminers evaluation. Conclusion: The reproducibility of CVM method was substantial, indicating its clinical use to determine the skeletal maturity and the ideal moment for treatment execution

ABSTRACT

Linfomas cutâneos primários são a segunda forma mais comum de linfomas extranodais, sendo os linfomas de células B, (CBCLs) representantes de 20 a 30% dos casos. O linfoma cutâneo difuso de grandes células B, Tipo Perna (PCDLBCL-LT), representa o tipo mais agressivo de CBCLs. Na maioria dos casos, a apresentação clínica é caracterizada por placas ou tumores solitários, ora ulcerados, em uma ou ambas as pernas, de rápido crescimento. O diagnóstico é confirmado através do estudo histopatológico e imunohistoquímico. O tratamento é realizado por meio de quimioterapia e seu prognóstico é reservado com uma sobrevida de 50% a 60% em 05 anos. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar um caso atendido de linfoma cutâneo primário difuso de grandes células B, tipo perna em um paciente de 75 anos, do sexo masculino com apresentação clínica clássica e desfecho desfavorável, realizar uma revisão bibliográfica do período de 2010 a 2020 na base de dados PUBMED sobre o assunto, dada sua raridade e agressividade ímpar. As informações foram obtidas através de revisão do prontuário, registro fotográfico e revisão da literatura. Por tudo isso, pode-se concluir a importância de estudos multidisciplinares, envolvendo dermatologistas, hematologistas, oncologistas e patologistas para que o diagnóstico e tratamento sejam instituídos o mais precoce possível, visto a raridade e agressividade do PCDLBCL-LT. [au]


Primary cutaneous lymphomas are the second most common form of extranodal lymphomas; with B cell lymphomas (CBCLs) representing 20 to 30% of cases. Diffuse cutaneous large B cell lymphoma, leg type (PCDLBCL-LT), represents the most aggressive type of CBCLs. In most cases, the clinical presentation is characterized by solitary plaques or tumors, sometimes ulcerated, on one or both legs, of rapid growth. The diagnosis is confirmed through histopathological and immunohistochemistry studies. Treatment is carried out through chemotherapy and its prognosis is reserved with a 50% to 60% survival in 5 years. The objective of this work is to report a case of diffuse primary B-cell cutaneous lymphoma, leg type in a 75-year-old male patient with a classic clinical presentation and unfavorable outcome, to perform a literary review from 2010 to 2020 in the PUBMED database on the subject, given its rarity and unique aggressiveness. The data was obtained by reviewing the medical record, photographic record and literature review. For all this, it is possible to conclude the importance of multidisciplinary studies, involving dermatologists, hematologists, oncologists and pathologists so that the diagnosis and treatment are instituted as early as possible, given the rarity and aggressiveness of the PCDLBCL-LT.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are one of the main causes of mortality in the world. Dyslipidemia treatment can reduce the number of deaths caused by CVD, by decreasing the lipid profile. Evaluate the pharmacotherapeutic follow-up effectiveness in patients with dyslipidemia, regarding clinical and laboratory aspects. A quasi-experimental trial was performed in 12 months. The studied population was included patients with dyslipidemia who received a pharmacotherapeutic follow-up, which was evaluated according to the Pharmacotherapy Workup developed by the Brazilian Ministry of Health. Clinical and laboratory evaluations were performed at the baseline, after a 6 and 12-months period. The statistical analyzes were performed with the normality test of Lilliefors, Cramer Von Misses, and Anderson Darling, later the t-paired test. This study demonstrated that after 6-months of intervention, statistically significant results were verified in the reduction of LDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, increase in HDL-cholesterol, and reduction in the blood pressure. It was observed that for high-risk patients, the achievement of targets in the lipid profile and HbA1C occurred only after 12-months, because, this population needs more aggressive targets and expressive interventions. Pharmacotherapeutic follow-up in patients with dyslipidemia reduced lipid blood levels and promoted positive clinical and laboratory outcomes.

ABSTRACT

Aim: Bulk Fill composite resins were released on the market in order to reduce the time in clinical sessions by using increments of up to 5.0 mm thickness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the rinsing solutions on the surface roughness of the conventional composite and Bulk fill composite resins. Methods:40 specimens were prepared from a 4.0mm x 10.0mm teflon matrix and photoactivated for 20 seconds, with 20 specimens made of Filtek Bulk-Fill composite resin (3M ESPE) and 20 specimens made with Filtek™ Z350 XT composite resin (3M ESPE). Each group was subdivided into 2 subgroups: G1 (Filtek™ Z350 XT-3M ESPE-immersed in Colgate PlaxWhitening®); G2 (Filtek™ Z350 XT-3M ESPE-immersed in PlaxFreshMint®); G3 (Filtek™ Bulk-Fill-3M ESPE-immersed in Colgate PlaxWhitening®) and G4 (Filtek™ Bulk-Fill-3M ESPE-immersed in Colgate PlaxFreshMint®). The surface roughness test was performed initially and after immersion in rinses by the Time Group Inc.-TR200® rugosimeter apparatus and the data were submitted to statistical analysis (two-way repeated measures ANOVA). Results: Surface roughness values of the Filtek™ Bulk-Fill composite resin (3M ESPE) were significantly higher than the Filtek™ Z350 XT composite resin (3M ESPE) (P <0.0001). However, no differences were identified before and after immersion in rinses with or without alcohol. Conclusion: The use of mouthwashes does not interfere with the surface roughness of the tested resins, but the composite resin Filtek Z350 XT (3M ESPE) presents a surface with less roughness

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is used to provide enteral nutritional support for patients with obstructive oropharyngeal or esophageal neoplasms. The placement of the catheter is considered safe, with few complications. Despite this, a specific complication that is considered rare, has been increasingly described in the literature, i.e., metastasis of head and neck cancer in the gastrostomy stoma. In this report, we described a case of metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx in the gastrostomy site, and discussed the possible etiologies and alternatives, seeking to reduce the incidence of this complication.


RESUMO A gastrostomia endoscópica percutânea é utilizada para oferecer suporte nutricional enteral para pacientes com neoplasias obstrutivas de orofaringe ou esôfago. A colocação da sonda é considerada segura, com poucas complicações. Apesar disso, uma complicação em particular, considerada rara, está sendo cada vez mais descrita na literatura: a metástase de neoplasia de cabeça e pescoço para o estoma da gastrostomia. Neste relato, descrevemos um caso de metástase de carcinoma espinocelular de laringe para o sítio da gastrostomia, e discutimos as possíveis etiologias e alternativas, buscando diminuir a incidência desta complicação.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as loss of kidney function, but its progression leads to systemic changes that compromise the quality of life of patients on dialysis. As such, the decline in lung capacity in this population may be one of the factors related to reduced peripheral muscle strength. Objective: Assess the relationship between handgrip strength (HGS), pulmonary function and respiratory muscle strength in patients with CKD on hemodialysis. Method: Thirty patients with CKD were assessed in terms of anthropometric data, pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength and HGS. Results: A moderate association was observed between HGS and the variables forced vital capacity (r=0.54; p=0.002), maximum voluntary ventilation (r=0.51; p=0.004) and maximum expiratory pressure (r=0.59; p=0.001), and a weak association with forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) (r=0.46; p=0.009) and maximum inspiratory pressure (r=0.38; p=0.03). Additionally, about 67% of the sample (n=20) exhibited some degree of restrictive ventilatory defect in the pulmonary function test. With respect to muscle strength, 40% of the sample (n=12) displayed below-normal handgrip strength, as well as low mean MIP and MEP. Conclusion: Decreased lung capacity may be related to a decline in HGS in patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis. Thus, therapeutic strategies aimed at lung expansion and respiratory muscle training may contribute to facilitating and favoring rehabilitation in this population.


Resumo Introdução: A doença renal crônica (DRC) é definida pela perda da função renal, contudo a sua progressão leva ao surgimento de alterações sistêmicas que comprometem a qualidade de vida dos pacientes em hemodiálise. Consequentemente, a redução da capacidade pulmonar nessa população pode ser um dos fatores que esteja relacionado ao declínio da força muscular periférica. Objetivo: Avaliar a relação entre a força de preensão manual (FPM) com a função pulmonar e a força muscular respiratória de pacientes com DRC em hemodiálise. Método: 30 pacientes com DRC foram avaliados quanto aos dados antropométricos, função pulmonar, força muscular respiratória e FPM. Resultados: Observou-se uma relação moderada da FPM com as variáveis capacidade vital forçada (r=0,54; p=0,002), ventilação voluntária máxima (r=0,51; p=0,004) e pressão expiratória máxima (r=0,59; p=0,001). Já as correlações entre a FPM com o volume expiratório forçado no primeiro segundo (r=0,46; p=0,009) e a pressão inspiratória máxima (r=0,38; p=0,03) foram fracas. Além disso, aproximadamente 67% da amostra (n=20) apresentou algum grau de restrição ventilatória na prova de função pulmonar. Em relação à força muscular, 40% da amostra (n=12) apresentou FPM abaixo do previsto de normalidade, e as médias da pressão inspiratória máxima e da pressão expiratória máxima em porcentagem também se encontraram reduzidas. Conclusão: A redução da capacidade pulmonar pode estar relacionada com o declínio da FPM nos pacientes com DRC em hemodiálise. Sendo assim, recursos terapêuticos visando à expansão pulmonar e o treinamento muscular respiratório podem ser estratégias para facilitar e favorecer a reabilitação dessa população.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A estomia intestinal é uma condição que pode afetar a vida das pessoas, seu convívio em sociedade, bem como ter consequências diretas para a qualidade de vida. Objetivo: Avaliar a qualidade de vida de pacientes com estomia intestinal atendidos em ambulatório de um hospital. Casuística e Métodos: Estudo transversal analítico e quantitativo. A amostra foi composta por 54 pacientes estomizados, acima de 18 anos e acompanhados há pelo menos um ano no ambulatório de estomia de um hospital de Goiânia/GO. Foram aplicados um questionário sociodemográfico e a versão abreviada do instrumento de avaliação de qualidade de vida da Organização Mundial da Saúde World Health Organization instrument to evaluate quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF). Foi confeccionado um banco de dados utilizando o SPSS 18. Foi realizada uma análise descritiva das variáveis e foram utilizados o teste t de Student e o teste de análise de variância (ANOVA) Scheffépara avaliar a existência ou não de diferença estatisticamente significativa (p≤0,05). Resultados: A pesquisa incluiu 54 pacientes, sendo 30 do sexo feminino e 24 do sexo masculino. Quanto à renda familiar, 61,1% informaram receber até um salário mínimo. A maioria afirmou não ter atividades de lazer (62,9%), não praticar atividade física (85,2%) e não estar empregada (92,6%). A média do escore geral da qualidade de vida foi 3,7±0,5. Os domínios apresentaram escores indicando boa qualidade de vida. Identificou-se que não ter religião, ter filhos e maior renda são preditores relacionados a um melhor escore no domínio meio ambiente. Os que referiram melhor autoavaliação da qualidade de vida também tiveram melhores escores em satisfação com a saúde e domínios físico e psicológico. Conclusão: Os pacientes com estomia intestinal apresentaram boa qualidade de vida, com menores escores em meio ambiente, que se relacionam com as facetas dinheiro e lazer. Melhor autopercepção da qualidade de vida indica melhor satisfação com a saúde em geral.


Introduction: Intestinal stoma is a condition that can affect people's lives and the way they interact socially. It can pose direct consequences on people's quality of life. Objective:To Evaluate the quality of life of patients with intestinal ostomies. Patients and Methods: This is a cross-sectional, analytical and quantitative study. The sample consisted of 54 patients aged 18 and over followed for at least one year at a hospital outpatient clinic in the city of Goiânia/GO. We used a sociodemographic questionnaire and the brief version of the World Health Organization instrument to evaluate quality of life, WHOQOL-BREF. We design a database using SPSS 18. In order to analyze variables, we use descriptive analysis,Student's t-test and the ANOVA with a Scheffé post hoctest. We used the tests to evaluate the existence or not of astatistically significant difference (p ≤0.05). Results: Thestudy included 54 patients (30 female and 24 male). Regardingfamily's income, 61.1% reported receiving up to one minimumwage. The majority affirmed that they did not have leisureactivities (62.9%), did not practice physical activity (85.2%),and have no job (92.6%). The overall quality of life score was3.7 ± 0.5. The domains presented scores indicating a goodlife quality. Predictors related to a better environment domainscore were to have no religion, to have children, and a higherincome. Those who reported better self-rated quality of lifealso had better scores on satisfaction with health, physical, andpsychological domains. Conclusion: Patients with intestinalostomies presented a good quality of life, with lower scoresin the environment domain, which is related to money to meetneeds and opportunities for leisure. A best self-perception ofthe quality of life indicates a better satisfaction with the overallhealth.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Introduction Surgical treatment of urinary incontinence progressed significantly with the introduction of synthetic slings. However, in some public Brazilian hospitals, the costs of these materials prevent their routine use. Objective To compare the costs of ambulatory synthetic sling surgery with an historical series of patients submitted to Burch surgery in a Brazilian public hospital. Materials and Methods Twenty nine incontinent patients were selected to synthetic sling surgery. Demographic data were prospectively collected and also the costs of the procedure, including drugs and materials, use of surgical and recovery wards, medical staff and hospitalization. These data were compared to the costs of 29 Burch surgeries performed before the introduction of synthetic slings. Results Demographic data were similar, although median age was lower in the group submitted to Burch surgery (46.3±8.6 versus 56.2±11.3 (p<0.001)). Cost was significantly lower in patients submitted to sling in all items, except for time spent in recovery ward. Total value of 29 Burch surgeries was R$ 217.766.12, and of R$ 68.049.92 of 29 patients submitted to sling surgery (p<0.001). Conclusion Burch surgery was more expensive than ambulatory synthetic transobturator sling surgery, even when the cost of the synthetic sling was considered.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: To test the capacity of the Logistic CASUS Score on the second postoperative day, the total serum bilirubin dosage on the second postoperative day and the extracorporeal circulation time, as possible predictive factors of long-term stay in Intensive Care Unit after cardiac surgery. Methods: Eight-two patients submitted to cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation were selected. The Logistic CASUS Score on the second postoperative day was calculated and bilirubin dosage on the second postoperative day was measured. The extracorporeal circulation time was also registered. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A, those who were discharged up to the second day of postoperative care; Group B, those who were discharged after the second day of postoperative care. Results: In this study, 40 cases were listed in Group A and 42 cases in Group B. The mean extracorporeal circulation time was 83.9±29.4 min in Group A and 95.8±29.31 min in Group B. Extracorporeal circulation time was not significant in this study (P=0.0735). The level of P significance of bilirubin dosage on the second postoperative day was 0.0003 and an area under the ROC curve of 0.708 with a cut-off point at 0.51 mg/dl was registered. The level of P significance of Logistic CASUS Score on the second postoperative day was 0.0001 and an area under the ROC curve of 0.723 with a cut-off point at 0.40% was registered. Conclusion: The Logistic CASUS Score on the second postoperative day has shown to be better than the bilirubin dosage on the second postoperative day as a predictive tool for calculating the length of stay in intensive care unit during the postoperative care period of patients. Notwithstanding, extracorporeal circulation time has failed to prove itself as an efficient tool to predict an extended length of stay in intensive care unit.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: Obesity and aging may cause changes in lung function. Objective: to assess whether body mass, body mass index (BMI) and age influences vital capacity (VC) and forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) in women. Methods: 81 women aged between 30 and 75 years participated in the study. The sample included obese and morbidly obese, non-smoking, sedentary individuals without chronic lung disorders. Anamnesis, anthropometric and spirometric evaluations were performed. Statistical analysis was carried out using the Pearson correlation and Spearman tests, adopting a significance level of 5%. Results: It was observed that age had significant and negative correlations with VC and its components: inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), expiratory reserve volume (ERV) and tidal volume (TV), and with FEV1. There was also a significant positive correlation between body mass and VC and IRV and a significant negative correlation between BMI and ERV. Conclusion: Pulmonary function declines over time. Body mass appears to exert a greater influence on IRV, whereas a greater BMI is associated with a decline in ERV. AU


Resumo Introdução: A obesidade e o envelhecimento podem promover alterações na função pulmonar. Objetivo: avaliar se a massa corporal, o índice de massa corporal (IMC) e a idade têm influência sobre a capacidade vital (CV) e o volume expiratório forçado no primeiro segundo (VEF1) em mulheres. Métodos: Participaram do estudo 81 mulheres, com idade entre 30 e 75 anos, obesas e obesas mórbidas, não fumantes, sedentárias e sem alterações pulmonares crônicas. Foram realizadas anamnese, avaliação antropométrica e espirométrica. A análise estatística dos dados foi realizada através dos testes de correlação de Pearson e Spearman, adotando um nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Pode-se observar que a idade apresentou correlações significativas e negativas com a CV e seus componentes: volume de reserva inspiratório (VRI), volume de reserva expiratório (VRE) e volume corrente (VC) e também com o VEF1. Houve correlação significativa e positiva da massa corporal com a CV e com o VRI, e correlação significativa e negativa entre o IMC e o VRE. Conclusão: Com o passar dos anos ocorre declínio da função pulmonar. A massa corporal parece exercer maior influência no VRI, ao passo que com o aumento do IMC ocorre declínio do VRE. AU

ABSTRACT

Nos dias atuais, a obesidade é considerada uma epidemia que atinge cerca de 13 por cento da população feminina brasileira, inclusive, mulheres em idade reprodutiva. Trata-se de uma enfermidade crônica não transmissível e que representa o fator de risco modificável mais importante para a ocorrência de doenças como, o diabetes e a hipertensão. No período gestacional, a obesidade pode acarretar resultados gestacionais desfavoráveis, tanto à saúde da mãe quanto do bebê. Essa tese de Doutorado objetivou investigar as associações entre sobrepeso / obesidade e a ocorrência de intercorrências clínicas maternas e neonatais e de parto cesáreo, através de um estudo de corte transversal.Foram entrevistadas 240 mulheres no puerpério e analisados todos os prontuários das mães e dos bebês, aplicando-se a técnica de regressão logística para as análises estatísticas. Os resultados mostraram elevados percentuais de mulheres com excesso de peso no início e no final da gestação e que apresentaram alguma intercorrência clínica durante a mesma. Também constatou-se que ser obesa no início e no final do pré-natal predispôs à ocorrência de intercorrências clínicas, tanto obstétricas quanto neonatais ede parto cesáreo. As mulheres com renda formal apresentaram menor probabilidade para a ocorrência de intercorrências maternas, todavia, ter histórico de obesidade na família aumentou as chances de ocorrência de intercorrências maternas e de parto cesáreo. A maior parte das mulheres com relato de doença prévia à gestação foi submetida a parto cesáreo. Houve um baixo percentual de mulheres que realizou, ao menos, uma consulta com Nutricionista no pré-natal e a maior parte das orientações nutricionais dispensadas às mulheres foram superficiais. As mulheres que iniciaram o pré-natal no primeiro trimestre da gestação tiveram menores chances de apresentarem intercorrências maternas e neonatais, assim como, aquelas com número de consultas de pré-natal igual ou maior que seis, tiveram menores chances de darem à luz via parto cesáreo e de sofrerem intercorrências neonatais. O tempo entre a admissão da gestante na maternidade e o nascimento do bebê igual ou maior que 24 horas associou-se a uma maior ocorrência de intercorrências neonatais. Concluiu-se que a obesidade materna configura-se como um problema de Saúde Pública relevante, que precisa de mais investigação científica, além de maior atenção governamental, especialmente para a sua prevenção, detecção e tratamento, entre gestantes.


Nowadays obesity is considered an epidemic that affects about 13% of the Brazilianfeminine population, including, women in reproductive age. It’s a non transmissiblechronic disease that represents the most important modifiable risk factor for theoccurrence of diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. In the gestational period,obesity may lead to adverse gestational results for both maternal and fetus health. ThisDoctorate thesis aimed to investigate the associations between overweight/obesity inpregnancy and the occurrence of maternal and neonatal complications, through asectional study. It was interviewed 240 women after labor and assessed all the motherand their babies medical records, applying the technique of logistic regression for thestatistics analysis. The results showed high percentages of women with excess of weightin the beginning and final period of pregnancy and who had maternal complications. Itwas found that being obese in the beginning and final period of pre natal follow upenhanced the chance of having obstetric and neonatal complications and cesareansection. Women with formal income had lower chance of having maternalcomplications, although having family historical of obesity increased the chances ofhaving maternal complications and cesarean section. Most of the women who reporteddiseases previous to the current pregnancy had greater chances for cesarean sections.There was a low percentage of women who had, at least, a consult with a Nutritionistduring pre natal follow up and the orientations given were shallow. Women who beganthe pre natal follow up in the first trimester had lower chances of having maternal andneonatal complications as well as women who had six or more pre natal doctor’s visitshad lower chances of having cesarean section and neonatal complications. Time equalto or longer than 24 hours between maternity admission and labor was associated togreater chance of neonatal complications. It has been concluded that maternal obesity isa relevant Public Health issue which needs more scientific investigation and widergovernment attention, specially, concerning its prevention, detection and treatmentamong pregnant women.

ABSTRACT

A Leucemia Mieloide Crônica (LMC) é uma doença mieloproliferativa caracterizada pela presença da oncoproteína BCR-ABL. O tratamento da LMC é baseado no uso de inibidores de tirosina quinase (do inglês, TKI), principalmente o imatinibe. Apesar dosucesso do imatinibe na clínica, cerca de 30% dos pacientes com LMC necessitam de terapia alternativa. Neste contexto, o desenvolvimento de compostos capazes de sobrepujar a resistência aos TKIs é fundamental. A pterocarpanquinona-LQB-118 éum novo composto com efeito antitumoral cujo mecanismo de ação vem sendo investigado. Neste trabalho, demonstramos que os tratamentos com LQB-118 e imatinibe alteraram a expressão de diversos genes em duas linhagens de LMC (K562,sensível e K562-Lucena, resistente), com destaque para o gene TOB2. Alémdisso, o composto LQB-118 modulou a localização subcelular de NFB, inibiuparcialmente a atividade do proteassoma e alterou a expressão dos microRNAs -9 e -21. Ainda, o composto LQB-118 reduziu a expressão proteica de IGF-1R, AKT emTOR, inibindo também a expressão dos mir-29b e -29c. O tratamento das linhagenscom a combinação de imatinibe com LQB-118 potencializou a morte celular. Nossos dados demonstram que o composto LQB-118 modula a localização subcelular de NFκB, a expressão de membros da importante via IGF-1R/AKT/mTOR e a expressãode miR-9, -21 e –29a/b/c. Além disso, sugerimos que TOB2 pode ser importante na resposta ao tratamento do imatinibe associado ao LQB-118 e que possa estar agindo na modulação da expressão proteica observada e que a combinação de imatinibe comLQB-118 se mostrou eficiente em células de LMC


Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by the BCR-ABL oncoprotein, presents its treatment based on tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKIs), mainly imatinib. However, despite its clinical success, almost 30% of all CML patients demand alternative therapy. In this context, the development of drugs capableof overcoming TKIs resistance is imperative. The pterocarpanquinone-LQB-118 is a novel compound with anti-tumour effect in in two CML cell lines (K562, sensitive and K562-Lucena resistant) whose mechanism of action is being elucidated. Here, we demonstrate by microarray analysis of CML cells treated with imatinib and LQB-118 several differentially expressed genes highlighting TOB2. LQB-118 modulates NFκB subcellular localization, apparently independently of the AKT and MAPK pathways,partially inhibits proteasome activity, and alters the expression of microRNAs -9 and -21. Also, IGF-1R, AKT and mTOR protein levels are decreased after LQB-118. LQB-118 alters the expression of all members of miR-29 family. Combined treatment of CML cell lines with imatinib and LQB-118 increased cell death. Taken together, we demonstrated that LQB-118 modulates NFκB subcellular localization, IGF-1R/AKT/mTOR pathway protein expressions and miR-9, -21 and –29a/b/c expressions. Furthermore, we suggest that TOB2 may be important to imatinib and LQB-118, acting as a mRNA regulator, and that combination of imatinib and LQB-118 is efficient in CML cells

ABSTRACT

A imagem corporal é entendida como a representação mental do nosso próprio corpo. O presente estudo objetivou analisar a insatisfação com a imagem corporal e os fatores associados em homens homossexuais. Participaram da pesquisa 646 homens homossexuais. Para tanto, foram consideradas as características sociodemográficas (grau de escolaridade, situação conjugal e orientação de gênero), comportamental (prática de atividade física) e o IMC. A avaliação da imagem corporal utilizou-se a escala de silhuetas corporais e as variáveis sociodemográficas coletadas por meio de um questionário autoaplicado. O tratamento dos dados utilizou-se a estatística descritiva e a regressão multinomial, considerando o nível de significância de 5% em todas as análises. Encontrou associação entre a insatisfação com a imagem corporal por excesso de peso e grau de escolaridade (IC 95% 1.69 ­ 3.65; 2.70 ­ 6.06), situação conjugal (IC 95% 2.52 ­ 137.75; 4.99 ­ 279.24) e atividade física (IC 95% 1.79 ­ 7.72; 2.96 ­ 13.45). E ainda, a insatisfação corporal tem 37.33 mais chances de ocorrer em homossexuais não solteiros e 6.31 em gays insuficiente ativo. Conclui-se que os homossexuais participantes deste estudo são fisicamente ativos, tem orientação de gênero predominantemente masculino e foram classificados como eutróficos, apesar de estarem insatisfeitos com a sua imagem corporal. Destaca-se que os dados apresentados neste estudo não esgota possibilidades e sim fornece evidências iniciais importantes para futuras pesquisas e iniciativas com foco nos diversos fatores associados à satisfação e à insatisfação corporal e à orientação sexual de homens e mulheres. Este estudo limitou-se a pesquisar os homens homossexuais frequentadores das praias de Florianópolis-SC.(AU)


Body image is understood as the mental representation of our own body. This study aimed to analyze the dissatisfaction with body image and associated factors among gay men. The participants were 646 homosexual men. Therefore, the socio-demographic characteristics were considered (level of education, marital status and gender orientation), behavioral (physical activity) and BMI. The assessment of body image we used the scale of body silhouettes and sociodemographic variables collected through self-administered a questionnaire. The data used descriptive statistics and multinomial regression at the 5% significance level for all analyzes. Found an association between dissatisfaction with body image for overweight and level of education (95% CI 1.69 - 3.65; 2.70 - 06.06), marital status (95% 2:52 - 137.75; 4.99 - 279.24) and physical activity (95 1.79% - 7.72; 2.96 - 13:45). And yet, body dissatisfaction has 37.33 more likely to occur in non-gay singles and 6:31 in insufficient active gays. We conclude that homosexuals study participants are physically active, have predominantly male gender orientation and were classified as normal, although they are dissatisfied with their body image. It is noteworthy that the data presented in this study does not exhaust possibilities but provides important initial evidence for future research and initiatives focusing on various factors associated with satisfaction and body dissatisfaction and sexual orientation of men and women. This study was limited to research gay men goers of Florianópolis-SC beaches.(AU)

ABSTRACT

RESUMO O acúmulo de gordura no tórax pode contribuir para a redução da mobilidade torácica (MT) com declínio de volumes pulmonares. Alterações da MT também podem ocorrer no envelhecimento, devido à progressiva calcificação das articulações envolvidas nos movimentos respiratórios e redução dos espaços intervertebrais. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a influência da idade, das características antropométricas e da distribuição de gordura corporal no comportamento da MT de mulheres e verificar qual dessas variáveis é mais relevante para a MT. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, com 100 mulheres com idades entre 25 e 75 anos e índice de massa corporal (IMC) entre 18,5 e 55kg/m2. Foram mensuradas as circunferências do pescoço (CP), da cintura, do quadril e a relação cintura/quadril. A MT foi avaliada pela cirtometria torácica nos níveis axilar e xifoidiano e, após a realização de três medidas, a MT foi determinada pela diferença entre o maior valor obtido na inspiração e o menor valor obtido na expiração. Foram utilizados testes de correlação e de regressão linear múltipla. Os resultados mostram, por meio de correlações significativas, que com o aumento da idade e devido à obesidade ocorre diminuição da MT. A CP exerceu maior influência (16,60%) sobre a MT no nível axilar e o IMC no nível xifoidiano (18,16%). Conclui-se que a MT está reduzida com o envelhecimento e obesidade e que a deposição de gordura no pescoço e o aumento do IMC são os fatores mais importantes no comprometimento da MT de mulheres.


RESUMEN La acumulación de la grasa torácica puede contribuir a la reducción de la movilidad torácica (MT) con disminución del volumen pulmonar. También las alteraciones de la MT pueden ocurrir en el envejecimiento, debido a la progresiva calcificación de las articulaciones implicadas en los movimientos respiratorios y a la reducción de los espacios intervertebrales. Este estudio tuvo el objetivo de verificar la influencia de la edad, de las características antropométricas y de la distribución de grasa corporal en conductas de la MT de mujeres, así como verificar cuál de las variables es la más relevante para la MT. Se trata de un estudio transversal, del cual participaron 100 mujeres con edades entre 25 y 75 años y con índice de masa corporal (IMC) entre 18,5 y 55kg/m2. Se midieron las circunferencias del cuello (CC), de la cintura, de las caderas y la relación entre cintura/cadera. Se evaluó la MT a través de la cirtometría torácica en los niveles axilar y xifoides y, tras realizarse las tres mediciones, se determinó la MT por la diferencia entre el valor más grande obtenido en la inspiración y el menor valor en la espiración. Se emplearon los test de correlación y de regresión lineal múltiple. Mediante las correlaciones significativas, los resultados demostraron que la MT disminuye debido al aumento de edad y a la obesidad. La CC tuvo mayor influencia (16,60%) bajo la MT en el nivel axilar y el IMC en el nivel xifoides (18,16%). Se concluyó que la MT redujo con el envejecimiento y la obesidad, y que la acumulación de grasa en el cuello y el aumento del IMC son los factores que más influyen en el comprometimiento de la MT de mujeres.


ABSTRACT The accumulation of fat in the chest can contribute to reduced thoracic mobility (TM) with a decrease of lung volumes. TM changes can also occur in aging, due to progressive calcification of joints involved in respiratory movements and reduced intervertebral spaces. The objective of this study was to verify the influence of age, anthropometric characteristics and distribution of body fat on the behavior of women's TM and to check which of these variables is more relevant to the TM. This is a cross-sectional study with 100 women, from 25 to 75 years and body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 55kg/m2. Circumferences of neck (NC), waist, hips and waist/hip ratio were measured. TM was assessed by thoracic cirtometry, in axillary and xiphoid levels and, after three measures, the TM was determined by the difference between the highest value obtained in the inspiration and the lowest value at expiration. We used correlation tests and multiple linear regression. Results show, through significant correlations, that with increasing age and obesity, TM decreases. The NC had the greatest influence (16.60%) on TM in axillary level and on BMI in xiphoid level (18.16%). It is concluded that TM is reduced with aging and obesity and that the deposition of fat in the neck and the increase of BMI are the most important factors in the commitment of women's TM.

ABSTRACT

Population-based quantitative study. This study's objectives were to examine the influence of regions, age, and time on cervical cancer mortality. We analyzed cervical cancer mortality rates in the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil between 1996 and 2011. Data were obtained from the Mortality Information System from the Brazilian Ministry of Health in 2013. Data were analyzed based on descriptive epidemiology. Cervical cancer mortality rates ranged from 3.6 to 5.0/100,000 women. Rates were higher among older women, with the highest rates after the age of 70. Women's awareness regarding the importance of the Pap smear test in their health checkups may differ across ages and regions of residence. The frequency of Pap smears should change due to the trend of mortality rates observed over time.


Estudio cuantitativo de base poplacional. Los autores tienen como objectivo examinar las influencias de la región, la edad y el tiempo en la mortalidad por cáncer de cuello uterino. Las tasas de mortalidad que ocurrieron en el Estado de Santa Catarina, entre 1996 y 2011 fueron analizados. Los datos fueron obtenidos del Sistema de Información de Mortalidad del Ministerio de Salud, Brasil, en el año 2013. El analisis de los datos fue realizada fundamentada en la epidemiologia descritiva. Las tasas de mortalidad por cáncer de cuello uterino variaron desde 3,6 hasta 5,0/100.000 mujeres. Estas tasas aumentaron en los grupos de mayor edad y presentaron los valores más altos después de 70 años. La conciencia de la mujer acerca de la importancia del la prueba de Papanicolaou en sus evaluaciones de salud, puede ser diferente según la edad y las regiones en las que viven. La frecuencia de la prueba de Papanicolaou debe cambiar mediante la observación de la evolución de las tasas de mortalidad en el tiempo.


Estudo quantitativo de base populacional. Os autores definiram como objetivo para o estudo examinar as influências da região, idade e tempo sobre a mortalidade por câncer de colo de útero. Foram analisadas as taxas de mortalidade que ocorreram no Estado de Santa Catarina, entre 1996 e 2011. Os dados foram obtidos do Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade do Ministério da Saúde, Brasil, durante o ano de 2013. A análise dos dados foi realizada com base na epidemiologia descritiva. As taxas de mortalidade por câncer de colo de útero variaram de 3,6 a 5,0/100.000 mulheres. Essas taxas aumentaram nos grupos etários mais avançados, apresentando os valores mais elevados após os 70 anos. A consciência da mulher sobre a importância do Papanicolaou em suas avaliações de saúde pode ser diferente conforme a idade e as regiões nas quais vivem. A frequência do Papanicolaou deve mudar, observando-se a tendência das taxas de mortalidade ao longo do tempo.

ABSTRACT

Objetivou-se quantificar a intensidade da atividade física (AF) de crianças durante o recreio escolar (RE), comparar a AF entre os sexos e as influências sazonais. A amostra foi composta por 30 meninas (11,2 ± 1,3 anos) e 20 meninos (11,3 ± 0,8 anos). A frequência cardíaca foi monitorada durante três RE's consecutivos no inverno (INV) e na primavera (PRI) com intensidade da atividade sendo classificada em baixa, moderada e vigorosa. Foi utilizada a estatística descritiva para dados gerais, Teste T para amostras independentes para diferenças entre os sexos, teste T pareado para a sazonalidade. Foram verificadas diferenças entre as temperaturas de INV e PRI. As meninas apresentaram redução significativa da intensidade da AF de INV para PRI, fato não verificado entre os meninos. O RE representou uma pequena contribuição para recomendações diárias de AF.


This study aimed to quantify the intensity of physical activity (PA) of children during school recess (SR), compare PA between genders and seasonal influences. The sample consisted of 30 girls (11.2 ± 1.3 years) and 20 boys (11.3 ± 0.8 years). Heart rate was monitored during three consecutive SR in the winter (WIN) and spring (SPR) with intensity of activity being classified as low, moderate and vigorous. Descriptive statistics for general data, T test for independent samples evaluated gender differences, paired T test for seasonality. Significant differences were found between the temperatures in WIN and SPR. The girls showed a significant reduction in PA from WIN to SPR, which was not observed among boys. The SR represented a small contribution to the daily recommendations of PA.
