ABSTRACT

Objectives: To assess the impact of educational level on rheumatoid arthritis through a systematicreview of the literature and assessing the age at onset, the educational level as riskfactor, and to identify outcomes related to educational level and rheumatoid arthritis.Methods: A systematic review was performed using PubMed, SciELO and LILACS as databases in order to identify original articles written in English, Portuguese or Spanish thatused accepted classification criteria for rheumatoid arthritis and a comparison was madebetween educational level and outcomes of rheumatoid arthritis. Final articles were identifiedby two independent reviewers and three blinded reviewers created a new list andextracted data from selected studies. Each record was classified based on the quality scoreof the studies.Results: Through the systematic review of the literature, the factors and outcomes relatedto educational level and rheumatoid arthritis identified were: the risk of developing the disease,radiographic progression, depression and anxiety, work disability, functional disability,quality of life, and mortality.Conclusion: The information available in the literature about the impact of the educationallevel in several outcomes related to rheumatoid arthritisis variable. Only work disability isan outcome related to a low education level in all the articles reviewed...


ObjetivosEvaluar el impacto del nivel educativo sobre la artritis reumatoide a través de una revisión sistemática de la literatura analizando la edad de inicio, el nivel educativo como factor de riesgo e identificando los desenlaces relacionados con el nivel educativo y la artritis reumatoide.MétodosSe realizó una revisión sistemática en PubMed, SciELO y LILACS como bases de datos con el fin de identificar artículos originales en inglés, portugués o español, que utilizaban criterios de clasificación aceptados para artritis reumatoide y comparaban el nivel educativo con diferentes desenlaces de la enfermedad. Los artículos finales fueron identificados por 2 revisores independientes. Tres revisores ciegos crearon una lista y extrajeron los datos de los estudios seleccionados. Cada registro fue clasificado en función de la calidad de los estudios.ResultadosLos factores y desenlaces identificados relacionados con el nivel educativo y artritis reumatoide fueron el riesgo de desarrollar la enfermedad, la progresión radiográfica, depresión y ansiedad, incapacidad laboral, incapacidad funcional, calidad de vida y mortalidad.ConclusiónLa información disponible en la literatura sobre el impacto del nivel educativo en la artritis reumatoide en los diferentes desenlaces encontrados es variable. Solo la discapacidad funcional es un desenlace relacionado con bajo nivel educativo en todos los artículos encontrados...

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar los conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas frente al cáncer de cuello uterino de las mujeres entre 14 y 49 años de un barrio de la comuna 10 de Armenia, Colombia. Materiales y métodos: Estudio de corte transversal, con muestreo por conveniencia. Resultados: En total se entrevistaron 100 mujeres. En la distribución por edad la media fue de 27,22 años. La mayoría tenían SISBEN 1 (76%). El 89% de las mujeres encuestadas tenían poco conocimiento sobre cáncer de cuello uterino. El 51% tenían claro cómo se previene el cáncer de cuello uterino. El 88,8% de mujeres que habían tenido relaciones sexuales se había tomado alguna vez la citología. Existe una relación significativa (p<0.05) entre el bajo conocimiento sobre la prevención, detección y periodicidad de la toma de la citología y las edades más bajas. Discusión: No existe coherencia entre el conocimiento, el pensamiento y las actitudes de las mujeres en edad reproductiva incluidas en el presente estudio. Las mujeres más jóvenes tienen un nivel más bajo de conocimientos pese a que acuden a la escuela. Con estos resultados se busca tener elementos para reorientar los procesos educativos en esta comunidad, empezando desde la educación escolar, hacia aspectos socioculturales de las personas y con base en esto elaborar proyectos educativos mucho mas pertinentes (conocimiento contextualizado y útil) convirtiéndolos en eficientes y efectivos.


Purpose: To determine the knowledge, attitudes and practices about cervical cancer of women between 14 and 49 years of a neighborhood of the comuna 10 from Armenia, Colombia. Methods: cross-sectional, with convenience sampling. Results: A total of 100 women were interviewed. The average age was 27.22 years. Majority had SISBEN 1 (76%). 89% had a low knowledge about cervical cancer. 51% were clear as to prevent the cervical cancer; 88.8% of women who have had sexual relations had taken the cytology. There is a significant relationship (p<0.05) between low knowledge about the prevention, detection and schedule for making the cytology and lower ages. Discussion: There is no consistency between knowledge, attitudes and practices of women in reproductive age included in this study. Younger women have a lower level of knowledge despite attending school. Our results seek to have elements in order to reorient the educational processes in this community, starting from school education to socio-cultural aspects of the people and on this basis to develop educational projects much more relevant (contextualized knowledge and useful) making them efficient and effective.

ABSTRACT

We report two cases of postoperative Alcaligenes xylosoxidans endophthalmitis. A 78-year-old woman in good general health developed A. xylosoxidans endophthalmitis one month after an uncomplicated phacoemulsification procedure with posterior chamber intraocular lens. It was performed on her left eye, at another institution. Removal of the intraocular lens and capsule was performed because of recurrent inflammation after vitrectomy and intravitreal antibiotic injections. Her son, a 55-year-old man, developed A. xylosoxidans endophthalmitis in his left eye, two months after an uncomplicated phacoemulsification procedure with posterior chamber intraocular lens (it also was performed by the same surgeon). He also required vitrectomy with removal of the intraocular lens and capsule because of persistent disease. A. xyloso - xidans can cause chronic low-grade and progressive endophthalmitis after cataract extraction that is often resistant to corrective antibiotic therapy. This kind of case is rare. There have been only previously reported seven cases worldwide to the best of our knowledge.


Relatamos dois casos de endoftalmite pós-operatória causada por Alcaligenes xylosoxidans. Uma mulher de 78 anos de idade e saúde geral boa desenvolveu endoftalmite por A. xylosoxidans um mês após ser submetida a facoemulsificação com implante de lente intra-ocular de câmara posterior, sem complicações. A cirurgia foi realizada no olho esquerdo em outra instituição. A remoção da lente e da cápsula intra-ocular foi realizada em conseqüência da inflamação recorrente após vitrectomia e injeções intravítreas de antibiótico. Seu filho, de 55 anos, desenvolveu endoftalmite por A. xylosoxidans, no olho esquerdo, dois meses após facoemulsificação com implante de lente intra-ocular de câmara posterior (realizada também pelo mesmo cirurgião). Foi necessária também realização de vitrectomia com remoção da lente intra-ocular e da cápsula posterior em função da doença persistente. A. xyloso - xidans pode causar a endoftalmite crônica, branda e progressiva após a extração da catarata e é freqüentemente resistente à terapia antibiótica. Este tipo de caso é raro. De acordo com nosso conhecimento, existem apenas sete casos relatados previamente.
