ABSTRACT

Abstract This study evaluated the presence of oral lesions in patients with COVID-19 hospitalized in an intensive care unit (ICU). Data included demographic, clinical, and laboratory information. Clinical assessment of the oral cavity was performed on the 2 nd and 5 th days of orotracheal intubation. Thirty-eight patients were evaluated and 16 (42.1%) presented oral lesions during their ICU stay. The median age and length of stay were 75 years and 15 days, respectively. Among the patients with oral lesions, ulcerative oral lesions were reported in 14 (87.5%) patients, of which 11 (78.6%) were found on the lips. This study highlights the importance of oral examination for patients admitted to the ICU with COVID-19.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Los adolescentes que viven con el VIH (AVVIH) tienen tasas más bajas de supresión virológica y tasas más altas de deterioro inmunológico en comparación con sus contrapartes mayores, colocándolos potencialmente en alto riesgo de enfermedad severa por SARS-CoV-2. Los AVVIH que están transicionando hacia el cuidado de adultos enfrentan dificultades adicionales para permanecer en el cuidado y adherirse al tratamiento antirretroviral. En esta sección especial reportamos el impacto observado en AVVIH transicionando al servicio de VIH para adultos durante la pandemia por SARS-CoV-2. En primer lugar, el acceso a la atención del VIH se ha visto perjudicado por la restricción del transporte público, la falta de antirretrovirales, y la suspensión de citas médicas y laboratoriales. Adicionalmente, dificultades financieras, incertidumbre sobre el futuro, estresores emocionales, alteración del estilo de vida y el temor de divulgar el diagnóstico involuntariamente han desafiado aún más la continuidad en la atención de esta población adolescente.


ABSTRACT Adolescents living with HIV (ALWH) have lower rates of virologic suppression and higher rates of immunologic decline compared to their older counterparts, potentially placing them at high-risk for developing severe SARS-CoV-2 disease. ALWH who are transitioning to adult care face additional challenges to remaining in care and adhering to treatment. In this special section we report the experiences of ALWH in the process of transitioning to adult HIV services during the COVID-19 pandemic. In first place, the government-mandated stay-at-home order has substantially limited access to full HIV care by restricting public transportation, HIV medication stock-outs, and the suspension of routine medical and laboratory appointments. In addition, financial hardship, uncertainty about their future plans, emotional stressors, lifestyle disruptions, and concerns of involuntary disclosure have further challenged continuity in care for this adolescent population.

ABSTRACT

O conhecimento dos agravos que acometem as crianças e os adolescentes é fundamental para nortear as ações de atenção à saúde, visando à promoção e recuperação da saúde desse grupo populacional. Este trabalho objetivou descrever o perfil clínico epidemiológico das crianças e adolescentes atendidos na Clínica Escola de Fisioterapia daUESB, Jequié, Bahia. Realizou-se um estudo de corte transversal, com base na revisão de 60 prontuários de crianças e adolescentes atendidos na CEF-UESB, Campus de Jequié, Bahia, no período de março a junho de 2009. Nos resultados encontrou-se a predominância de pacientes do sexo masculino, com idade entre 0 e 2 anos, diagnóstico de patologias neurológicas e risco neurológico. Concluiu-se que as patologias neurológicas e a condição de risco neurológico mostram-se relevantes entre as crianças e adolescentes atendidos na CEF-UESB, principalmente entre os pacientes de 0 a 2 anos, juntamente com a presença defatores negativos nos períodos perinatal e neonatal.


Getting acquainted with injuries that affect children and adolescents is essential to guide the action of health attention, in order to promote and recover the health of this specific group. This study aimed to describe the clinical and epidemiological profile of children and adolescents who had appointment at the State University Physical Therapy Clinic, UESB, Jequié,Bahia. A cross-sectional study was conducted based on the review of 60 medical records of children and adolescents treated at the CEF-UESB, campus Jequie, BA, in the period of March until June, 2009. The results show the predominance of male patients, with ages between 0and 2 years old, diagnosed with neurological disorders and neurological risks, who showed perinatal and neonatal intercurrences. It is expected that these results may support actions of promoting health and adequacy of the services in this therapeutic environment.

ABSTRACT

La obesidad es un cúmulo generalizado y excesivo de grasa corporal que conlleva a un riesgo sobreañadido para la salud, acorta la esperanza de vida y aumenta la posibilidad de desarrollar otras patologías. En el escenario mundial, la obesidad infantil ha tenido un sobresaliente incremento de su prevalencia. En 2005, la Encuesta Nacional de Situación Nutricional en Colombia (ENSIN), determinó que los niños entre los 0 y 4 y entre los 5 y 9 años de edad, tuvieron un 3.1% y 4.3% de obesidad espectivamente y, (Peso para la Talla > 2DS) los adolescentes entre los 10 y 17 años de edad un 10.3% de sobrepeso (IMC > 95% para la edad y el género). El tratamiento convencional de la obesidad se fundamenta en tres componentes básicos: la dietoterapia, la actividad física y lamodificación del comportamiento, y según lo pertinente, se emplea farmacoterapia, terapia cognitiva e intervención quirúrgica. Sin distinción del tipo de intervención, solo con excepción de la terapia quirúrgica, la obesidad es una enfermedad muy resistente al tratamiento. Éstos resultados son atribuibles a importantes barreras que son consideradas como cualquier circunstancia que afecte negativamente el resultado o adherencia al tratamiento, y se pueden categorizar en personales, socioculturales y sanitarias.


Obesity is a pervasive and excessive accumulation of body fat that leads to a superadded risk to health, shortens life expectancy and increases the possibility of developing other diseases. On the world stage, childhood obesity has had a remarkable increase in its prevalence. In 2005, the National Nutritional Situation in Colombia (ENSIN), found that children between 0 and 4 and between 5 and 9 years of age had 3.1% and 4.3%, respectively, of obesity (weight for height > 2 SD), and that adolescents between 10 and 17 years had 10.3% Conventional treatment of obesity is based on three basic components: diet therapy, exercise and behavior modification, and as appropriate, is used pharmacotherapy, cognitive therapy and surgery. Regardless of type of intervention only with the exception of surgical therapy, obesity is a disease ighly resistant to treatment. These results are attributable to significant barriers that are considered as any circumstance that adverselyaffects the outcome or adherence to treatment, and can be categorized as personal, cultural and health.
