ABSTRACT

Objectives@#In spite of the importance of green space for reducing obesity-related problems, there has been little exploration of whether access to green space (e.g., parks and recreational facilities) influences the obesity rate of adults in the United States. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationships among accessibility of green space, obesity rates, and socioeconomic and demographic variables among adults living in the State of Indiana, United States. @*Methods@#We conducted a secondary data analysis to investigate the relationships among accessibility to green space, obesity rates, and socio-demographic variables with employing Geographic Information System in order to measure the accessibility of green space. @*Results@#This study found that accessibility of green space served as a strong predictor of reduced obesity rates among adults (β=-2.478; p<0.10). In addition, adults with higher education levels, as well as better access to green space, were found to have even lower obesity rates (β=-0.188; p<0.05). Other control variables such as unemployment rates, food security, and physical inactivity are additional factors that influence obesity rates among adults. @*Conclusions@#Accessibility of green space may play an important role in facilitating physical activity participation and reducing obesity rates.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Determinar os índices de resistência (IR) e pulsatilidade (IP) nas artérias uterinas durante o primeiro e segundo trimestres de gestação. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Realizamos estudo prospectivo longitudinal em 44 mulheres normais, da 8ª a 12ª e na 22ª semanas de gestação. A dopplervelocimetria foi realizada em ambas as artérias uterinas por meio do IR e do IP. Utilizamos volume de amostra de 1 a 2 mm, filtro de 50 a 70 Hz e ângulo de insonação abaixo de 60°. RESULTADOS: O IR e o IP da artéria uterina no primeiro trimestre foram maiores da 8ª a 12ª do que na 22ª semana de gestação. O IR e o IP da artéria uterina, no primeiro trimestre, com incisura foram de 0,83 ± 0,07 e 2,32 ± 0,79, e sem incisura, de 0,71 ± 0,16 e 1,61 ± 0,78, respectivamente. No segundo trimestre, o IR e o IP da artéria uterina com incisura foram de 0,59 ± 0,09 e 1,03 ± 0,32, e sem incisura, de 0,44 ± 0,09 e 0,63 ± 0,19, respectivamente. CONCLUSÃO: Estabelecemos os valores de referência do IR e do IP das artérias uterinas de gestantes normais no primeiro e segundo trimestres de gestação.


OBJECTIVE: To determine uterine artery resistance index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The authors developed a prospective longitudinal study with 44 healthy women at their 8th-12th and 22nd gestational weeks. Doppler velocimetry was utilized for evaluating RI and PI of both uterine arteries, with a sample volume of 1 to 2 mm, a 50-70 Hz filter, and an insonation angle < 60°. RESULTS: At 8th-12th gestational weeks, the uterine artery RI and PI were higher than at the 22nd gestational week. At the first trimester uterine artery RI and PI were, respectively, 0.83 ± 0.07 and 2.32 ± 0.79 with a notch, and 0.71 ± 0.16 and 1.61 ± 0.78, without a notch. At the second trimester, uterine artery RI and PI were, respectively, 0.59 ± 0.09 and 1.03 ± 0.32 with a notch, and 0.44 ± 0.09 and 0.63 ± 0.19 without a notch. CONCLUSION: Reference values for uterine arteries RI and PI at the first and second trimesters of pregnancy were established.

ABSTRACT

A síndrome antifosfolípide é doença auto-imune definida pela ocorrência de tromboses vasculares e/ou morbidade gestacional, em pacientes com testes positivos para os anticorpos antifosfolípides. Anticoagulante lúpico, anticardiolipina e anti beta 2 glicoproteína I são os anticorpos clinicamente importantes para o diagnóstico. Na gestação, pode estar associada a abortamentos recorrentes, restrição do crescimento intra-uterino, oligoidrâmnio, pré-eclâmpsia, parto pré-termo, síndrome HELLP, descolamento prematuro de placenta e óbito fetal. A anticoagulação é a principal estratégia no manejo das complicações trombóticas e obstétricas dessa síndrome, melhorando o prognóstico materno e fetal. O presente artigo tem por objetivo realizar atualização acerca dos principais aspectos relacionados aos critérios diagnósticos, às complicações e ao manejo atual da gestante acometida pela síndrome antifosfolípide.

ABSTRACT

O lúpus eritematoso sistêmico é doença crônica e auto-imune que afeta principalmente mulheres no período reprodutivo. As gestantes lúpicas estão sob risco mais alto de abortamento espontâneo, crescimento intra-uterino restrito, parto pré-termo, morte fetal e pré-eclâmpsia. Além disso, podem estar associadas à síndrome antifosfolípide e ao lúpus neonatal. Outra importante complicação é a nefrite lúpica, pois, além de influenciar negativamente os resultados gestacionais, seu diagnóstico pode ser dificultado por alterações fisiológicas da gravidez ou por pré-eclâmpsia. Apesar de todos os riscos, bons resultados maternos e fetais podem ser obtidos pelo acompanhamento adequado das pacientes. O presente artigo tem por objetivo realizar atualização sobre os principais aspectos das complicações e do manejo atual da gestante lúpica.
