ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To validate a set of indicators for monitoring the quality of surgical procedures in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). METHODS Validation study developed in 5 stages: 1) literature review; 2) prioritization of indicators; 3) content validation of indicators by RAND/UCLA consensus method; 4) pilot study for reliability analysis; and 5) development of instruction for tabulation of outcome indicators for monitoring via official information systems. RESULTS From the literature review, 217 indicators of surgical quality were identified. The excluded indicators were: those based on scientific evidence lower than 1A, similar, specific, which corresponded to sentinel events; and those that did not apply to the SUS context. Twenty-six indicators with a high level of scientific evidence were submitted to expert consensus. Twenty-two indicators were validated, of which 14 process indicators and 8 outcome indicators with content validation index ≥80%. Of the validated process indicators, 6 were considered substantially reliable (Kappa coefficient between 0.6 and 0.8; p < 0.05) and 2 had almost perfect reliability (Kappa coefficient > 0.8, p < 0.05), when the inter-rater agreement was analyzed. One could measure and establish tabulation mechanism for TabWin for 7 outcome indicators. CONCLUSION The study contributes to the development of a set of potentially effective surgical indicators for monitoring the quality of care and patient safety in SUS hospital services.


RESUMO OBJETIVO Validar um conjunto de indicadores para monitoramento da qualidade dos procedimentos cirúrgicos no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). MÉTODOS Estudo de validação desenvolvido em 5 etapas: 1) revisão de literatura; 2) priorização de indicadores; 3) validação de conteúdo dos indicadores por método de consenso RAND/UCLA; 4) estudo piloto para análise da confiabilidade; e 5) desenvolvimento de instrutivo para tabulação dos indicadores de resultado para monitoramento via sistemas de informações oficiais. RESULTADOS A partir da revisão de literatura, foram identificados 217 indicadores de qualidade cirúrgica. Os indicadores excluídos foram: indicadores baseados em evidências científicas inferiores a 1A, similares, específicos, que correspondiam a eventos sentinelas; e aqueles que não se aplicavam ao contexto do SUS. Foram submetidos ao consenso de especialistas 26 indicadores com alto nível de evidência científica. Foram validados 22 indicadores, dos quais 14 indicadores de processo e 8 indicadores de resultado com índice de validação de conteúdo ≥80%. Dos indicadores de processo validados, 6 foram considerados confiáveis substancialmente (Coeficiente de Kappa entre 0,6 e 0,8; p < 0,05) e 2 tiveram confiabilidade quase perfeita (coeficiente de Kappa > 0,8, p < 0,05), quando analisada a concordância interavaliador. Foi possível mensurar e estabelecer mecanismo de tabulação para TabWin para 7 indicadores de resultado. CONCLUSÃO O estudo contribui com o desenvolvimento de um conjunto de indicadores cirúrgicos potencialmente eficazes para o monitoramento da qualidade do cuidado e segurança do paciente nos serviços hospitalares do SUS.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: Olfaction influences nutrition, safety, and the cognitive development of children. Presently there are few olfactory tests for children, and normative reference values are generally lacking. In this study, we validate the Pediatric Smell WheelTM (PSW) to evaluate olfactory function in Brazilian children. Methods: We modified and validated the PSW, a test developed in the United States, for administration in Brazil, and established normative data for Brazilian children. The validation process consisted of five phases. First, we identified odorants familiar to Brazilian children. Second, we established the test-retest reliability of the Brazilian PSW test that employed these odorants. Third, we compared the test scores of healthy children to those microsmic from adenoid hypertrophy. Fourth, we examined the test's ability to detect improvement in olfactory function before and after adenoidectomy. Finally, we determined a normative 10th percentile cut point for defining microsmia in a sample of 169 healthy Brazilian children between 5 and 12 years of age. Results: Eleven odors were identified for inclusion in the test. The test-retest reliability was modest (r = 0.54, p < 0.001), although likely attenuated based on the inclusion of only data from children with normal function. The test clearly differentiated the olfactory function of children with adenoid hypertrophy from that of healthy children and demonstrated the return of function after adenoidectomy. An overall score <7 was found useful in defining hyposmia, although additional age-related cut-points were also defined. Conclusion: A Brazilian version of the PSW was developed and validated and found to be efficacious in detecting smell dysfunction in children ranging in age from 5 to 12 years. Level of evidence: 1b (Diagnosis).

ABSTRACT

Introdução: As Ligas Acadêmicas de Cirurgia Plástica (LCP) são organizações estudantis que objetivam complementar a formação acadêmica em cirurgia plástica. Atuam por meio dos pilares de ensino, pesquisa e extensão que promovem o contato dos estudantes com a realidade social em que estão inseridos, permitindo-os entender as verdadeiras necessidades da população e atuar como agentes de transformação social. No entanto, a abordagem do tema na literatura ainda é incipiente. O presente trabalho objetiva descrever a atuação das LCP vinculadas à Associação Brasileira das Ligas de Cirurgia Plástica (ABLCP). Métodos: Tratou-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo, multicêntrico de abordagem qualiquantitativa, mediante a aplicação de um questionário de 19 perguntas construídas de modo a evitar os vieses demonstrados no Catálogo de Vieses em Questionários. Resultados: Foi observado que existem 78 LCPs e 1873 ligantes, presentes em 58 cidades ao longo de 20 estados, sendo a Região Sudeste com o maior número de ligas e ligantes, já a Região Norte apresenta a menor quantidade de ligas e alunos. Além do mais, foi visto que 78,2% das ligas são vinculadas à ABLCP e apresentam atividades nos três eixos (educação, pesquisa e extensão). Em geral, as ligas têm menos participação em pesquisa. Conclusão: A ABLCP objetiva melhorar a performance das ligas, inspecionar e estimular suas atividades, uma vez que as ligas possuem um papel importante na educação médica.


Introduction: The Academic Leagues are non-profit autonomous civil and scientific student entities, of indefinite duration, which brings together medical students and professors. The Brazilian Association of Plastic Surgery Leagues (ABLCP) is an organization linked to the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP), considered its academic segment, thus establishing the proximity between Academic Leagues of Plastic Surgery (PSL) and SBCP. The present study aims to describe the profile of the associated leagues. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive, multicenter study with qualitative and quantitative approach through application of an online questionnaire with 19 questions. Duplicated or unfinished records were excluded. Results: It was observed that there are 78 PSLs and 1873 binders, present in 58 cities arranged in 20 federative units, being the Southeast region with the largest number of alloys and binders and the one with the smallest number was the North region. In addition, it was observed that 78.2% of the PSLs linked to the ABLCP presented activities in the three axes (Education, Research and Extension/Assistance) simultaneously. In general, the Leagues obtained less participation in research. Conclusions: ABLCPs performance in relation to LCPs has the objective of seeking alignment, inspection and stimulus for their activities, since alloys have an important role in medical education.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Generally, primary methods of identification as the fingerprint analysis, dental analysis or DNA examination are indicated for the establishment of the identity of a corpse. In situations with poor body conservation, such as in advanced stage of putrefaction or skeletonization, imaging exams like medical and dental computed tomography can assist in the process of identification. The frontal sinuses present anatomical characteristics that allow the establishment of the identity of an in dividual. In this case report we used the technique of three-dimensional construction of the frontal sinuses through the generation of solid figures representative of the sinus morphology. After the comparative analysis of the antemortem and postmortem tomography of the alleged victim, we could establish similarities in both the variations in size, shape, symmetry and contour of borders, and the presence and number of septa, allowing us to infer that the two images described belong to the same individual, thus establishing the identity of the corpse found.


RESUMEN: Generalmente, los métodos primarios de identificación como el análisis dactiloscópico, el análisis dental o el examen de ADN están indicados para el establecimiento de la identidad de un cadáver. En situaciones de mala conservación del cuerpo, como en etapa avanzada de putrefacción o esqueletización, los exámenes de imagen como la tomografía computarizada médica y dental pueden ayudar en el proceso de identificación. Los senos frontales presentan características anatómicas que permiten establecer la identidad de un individuo. En este reporte de caso utilizamos la técnica de construcción tridimensional de los senos frontales a través de la generación de figuras sólidas representativas de la morfología sinusal. Tras el análisis comparativo de la tomografía antemortem y postmortem de la presunta víctima, pudimos establecer similitudes tanto en las variaciones de tamaño, forma, simetría y contorno de márgenes, como en la presencia y número de septos, lo que nos permite inferir que las dos imágenes descritas pertenecen al mismo individuo, estableciéndose así la identidad del cadáver encontrado.

ABSTRACT

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate diagnostic techniques for trypanosomiasis, caused by Trypanosoma vivax, in naturally infected cattle in Minas Gerais, Zona da Mata. The deaths of six lactating cows with similar clinical conditions—characterized by hyporexia, hypogalactia, and recumbency—had been reported from one property. Initially, two animals were examined and diagnosed with trypanosomiasis through identification of the protozoan in a blood smear. After the initial diagnosis, all lactating cows (n=37) on the property were examined, and blood samples were collected for tests including whole blood smear, buffy coat smear, Woo's technique, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Woo's test, buffy coat smears, and whole blood smears indicated that 4/37 (10.81%) animals were positive for trypanosomiasis, whereas ELISA and PCR indicated that 33/37 (89.19%) and 27/37 (72.97%) animals, respectively, were positive. The agreement obtained between parasitological techniques was classified as high, while between ELISA and PCR, no agreement. In conclusion, parasitological techniques have a low capacity to identify infected animals in the chronic stage of T. vivax infection. Therefore, techniques such as PCR and/or ELISA should be used to minimize the occurrence of false negatives.


Resumo Este estudo objetiva avaliar as técnicas de diagnóstico da tripanossomíase, causada pelo Trypanosoma vivax, em bovinos naturalmente infectados, em Minas Gerais, Zona da Mata. A morte de seis vacas em lactação com condições clínicas semelhantes - caracterizadas por hiporexia, hipogalaxia e decúbito - foi relatada em uma propriedade. Inicialmente, dois animais foram examinados e diagnosticados com tripanossomíase através da identificação do protozoário em esfregaço sanguíneo. Após o diagnóstico inicial, todas as vacas em lactação (n = 37) na propriedade foram examinadas, e amostras de sangue foram coletadas para testes, incluindo esfregaço de sangue total, esfregaço de capa leucocitária, técnica de Woo, ensaio imunoenzimático (ELISA) e reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR). O teste de Woo, os esfregaços de capa leucocitária e de sangue total indicaram que 4/37 (10,81%) animais foram positivos para tripanossomíase, enquanto ELISA e PCR indicaram que 33/37 (89,19%) e 27/37 (72,97%) animais, respectivamente, foram positivos. A concordância entre técnicas parasitológicas foi classificada como alta, enquanto entre ELISA e PCR, sem concordância. As técnicas parasitológicas apresentam baixa capacidade para identificar animais infectados na fase crônica da infecção por T. vivax. Dessa forma, técnicas como PCR e/ou ELISA devem ser utilizadas para minimizar a ocorrência de falsos negativos.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Purpose: To report the initial 2 years' learning curve on gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy performed using the thermally blunted suture technique and review the factors that could potentially affect the outcome. Methods: This retrospective study evaluated 100 eyes from 89 participants with glaucoma resistant to maximum clinical treatment, which was defined as having an intraocular pressure >21 mmHg in addition to three or four different hypotensive drugs. Intraocular pressure values at baseline, 1 week, and at 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months of follow-up and details regarding the need of antiglaucoma medication and further glaucoma surgery were recorded. Eyes that required further surgical intervention for intraocular pressure control were considered as failure. Results: A total of 51 eyes were subjected to isolated gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy, and 49 eyes were subjected to gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy + cataract extraction at the same surgical time. A statistically significant difference was observed between overall mean follow-up intraocular pressure and mean preoperative intraocular pressure (p<0.001) in all follow-up visits. When the extent of treatment was evaluated, patients with an extension of 360° did not exhibit statistically significantly lower mean intraocular pressure than those with other extensions. Hyphema was the only complication presented in 50 eyes (50%), but all had spontaneous resolution within 4 weeks. A total of 26 eyes (26%) required additional conventional trabeculectomy due to uncontrolled intraocular pressure, especially those who previously underwent vitreoretinal surgery. Conclusions: Gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy, besides being an apparently safe procedure, results in satisfactory success rates even during the surgeon's initial learning curve. The technique was effective in decreasing intraocular pressure and medication burden.


RESUMO Objetivo: Reportar a curva de aprendizado dos 2 anos iniciais da trabeculotomia transluminal assistida por gonioscopia, usando a técnica de sutura termicamente atenuada e revisar os fatores que podem afetar o resultado. Métodos: Este estudo retrospectivo incluiu 100 olhos de 89 participantes com glaucoma resistente ao tratamento clínico máximo, definido como tendo pressão intraocular superior a 21mmHg, além de três ou quatro drogas hipotensoras diferentes. Pressão intraocular inicial, 1 semana, primeiro, segundo, terceiro, sexto, 12 e 24 meses de acompanhamento; necessidade de medicação antiglaucoma; necessidade de mais cirurgias anti-glaucomatosas foram registradas. Olhos que necessitaram de intervenção cirúrgica adicional para o controle da pressão intraocular foram considerados como insucesso. Resultados: Cinquenta e um olhos foram submetidos à trabeculotomia transluminal assistida por gonioscopia isolado e 49 olhos à trabeculotomia transluminal assistida por gonioscopia associado à extração de catarata no mesmo tempo cirúrgico. Houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre a pressão intraocular média global no acompanhamento e a pressão intraocular média pré-operatória (p<0,001) em todas as visitas do acompanhamento. Ao avaliar a extensão do tratamento, os pacientes com extensão de 360 graus não apresentaram pressão intraocular média menor estatisticamente significativa em comparação com outras extensões. O hifema foi a única complicação presente em 50 olhos (50%), contudo todos tiveram resolução espontânea em quatro semanas. Um total de 26 olhos (26%) teve que ser submetido a trabeculectomia convencional adicional devido à pressão intraocular descontrolada, principalmente aqueles previamente submetidos à cirurgia vitreorretiniana. Conclusões: A trabeculotomia transluminal assistida por gonioscopia, além de ser um procedimento aparentemente seguro, apresenta taxas de sucesso satisfatórias, mesmo durante a curva de aprendizado inicial do cirurgião. A técnica foi efetiva em reduzir a pressão intraocular e uso de medicamentos.

ABSTRACT

Summary OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the publications authored by plastic surgeons with those from other specialties' surgeons on patient-reported outcomes of oncoplastic surgery. METHODS: A review was carried out on the Medline database, emcompassing five years (2015-2020). Studies about partial breast reconstruction after conservative treatment, immediate or delayed, by any technique, which presented patient-reported outcomes, were included. RESULTS: We found 292 articles, from which 142 met the eligibility criteria. Publications were stratified into groups 1 (plastic surgeons) and 2 (other surgical specialties), and also into groups A (only plastic surgeons), B (only other specialties) and C (both), and compared statistically. Most publications (60.6%) were attributed to specialties other than plastic surgery. Nineteen percent had only plastic surgeons as authors, 50% only other specialties' surgeons, and 31% had both. There was no difference between groups regarding the impact factor of the journals in any of the stratifications, and the majority was published in journals with impact factor ≤2. CONCLUSION: In the last years, surgeons from specialties other than plastic surgery published more about the results of the oncoplastic surgery reported by the patients. There was no statistical difference between the groups regarding the impact factor of the journals.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Embora o tratamento do câncer de cabeça e pescoço tenha evoluído nos últimos anos, ainda é um desafio preservar e restaurar a simetria facial após o mesmo, comprometendo significativamente a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Em cirurgia reconstrutiva, o enxerto de gordura autóloga vem sendo usado para tratar defeitos de volume e de contorno. O objetivo é revisar os efeitos do enxerto de gordura em pacientes com radiodermite, devido ao tratamento radioterápico de câncer de cabeça e pescoço. Métodos: Revisão de literatura nas bases PubMed e SciELO, buscando estudos publicados nos últimos 20 anos nas línguas portuguesa, inglesa ou espanhola. Foram utilizados os descritores "adipose tissue", "transplantation", "neoplasms", "head and neck neoplasms" e "radiotherapy"; e os termos não descritores "fat grafting", "fat transplantation" e "fat graft". Resultados: De 212 artigos encontrados, apenas 7 estavam em conformidade aos critérios de elegibilidade. Conclusão: A revisão sugere que a lipoenxertia em reconstrução oncológica de cabeça e pescoço é um tratamento seguro e permite otimizar os resultados estéticos e funcionais. Faltam estudos prospectivos para melhor definição de técnicas e de resultados.


Introduction: Although treatment of head and neck cancer has evolved in recent years, it is still a challenge to preserve and restore facial symmetry afterward; this fact significantly compromises the quality of life of patients. In reconstructive surgery, autologous fat grafting has been used to treat volume and contour defects. The objective is to review the effects of fat grafting in patients with radiodermatitis due to head and neck cancer radiotherapy treatment. Methods: Literature review in PubMed and SciELO databases, looking for studies published in the last 20 years in Portuguese, English, or Spanish. The descriptors "adipose tissue", "transplantation", "neoplasms", "head and neck neoplasms" and "radiotherapy" and the non-descriptive terms "fat grafting", "fat transplantation" and "fat graft" were used. Results: Of 212 articles found, only seven complied with the eligibility criteria. Conclusion: The review suggests that fat grafting in head and neck cancer reconstruction is a safe treatment and optimizes aesthetic and functional results. Prospective studies are lacking for a better definition of techniques and results.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Estimar o impacto econômico da influenza no Brasil sob a perspectiva dos pagadores de serviços de saúde e da sociedade. Métodos: Utilizando um modelo econômico e dados da literatura e de uma base de dados censitária para fins de reembolso (SIH/SUS), foi calculado o número de casos esperados de influenza resultantes em visitas ambulatoriais, internações e mortes atribuídas à doença no Brasil. Para a construção do modelo econômico, foram considerados custos obtidos por meio dos dados extraídos do Datasus e de fontes publicamente disponíveis para a atenção pública e para a atenção privada, respectivamente. Os custos foram reportados em real brasileiro (BRL). Resultados: Foi estimada a ocorrência anual de 14,9 milhões de casos de influenza no Brasil, segmentados em aproximadamente 97 mil hospitalizações por ano decorrentes de influenza e 5,8 milhões de visitas ambulatoriais. Nos cálculos apresentados, cerca de 12 milhões de dias de produtividade foram perdidos e 78 mil anos de vida foram perdidos em um ano. O impacto econômico da doença foi calculado em 5.622.438.761 BRL, sendo os custos indiretos associados os mais representativos, atribuindo cerca de 69% (3.889.541.452 BRL) do total. Os custos médicos diretos e out-of-pocket representaram aproximadamente 23% (1.312.175.732 BRL) e 7% (420.721.577 BRL), respectivamente. Conclusão: Apesar dos esforços relacionados à vacinação de diversos grupos, a influenza apresenta uma importante carga econômica, reforçando a importância de medidas de saúde pública para a redução de carga da doença. Esse impacto é especialmente relacionado aos custos indiretos gerados pela perda de dias de produtividade e anos de vida perdidos


Objective: To estimate the economic impact of influenza in Brazil, considering society and healthcare payers perspectives. Methods: The expected number of influenza cases resulting from outpatient visits, hospitalizations, and deaths attributed to the disease in Brazil was calculated using an economic model, literature data, and a census database for reimbursement purposes (SIH/SUS). Costs were obtained through data extracted from Datasus and publicly available sources for public and private care, respectively, and reported in Brazilian real (BRL). Results: The occurrence of 14.9 million cases of influenza per year in Brazil was estimated, with about 97 thousand hospitalizations and 5.8 million outpatient visits. In addition, about 12 million productivity days and 78,000 years of life were lost in one year. Total disease economic impact was 5,622,438,761 BRL. Indirect cost was the most representative source of burden, about 69% (3,889,541,452 BRL) of the total. Direct and out-of-pocket medical costs represented approximately 23% (1,312,175,732 BRL) and 7% (420,721,577 BRL), respectively. Conclusion: Despite the efforts related to the vaccination of several groups, influenza has an important economic impact, reinforcing the relevance of public health strategies to reduce the disease burden. This impact is especially related to the indirect costs generated by productivity and years of life lost.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Avaliar, com dados de mundo real, hospitalizações por influenza e potencialmente relacionadas à influenza e seus custos associados em uma autogestão do Sistema de Saúde Suplementar do Brasil. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo na base de dados de uma autogestão, de setembro/2016 a agosto/2019, para avaliar o perfil de hospitalizações por três grupos de doença: influenza/pneumonia, outras doenças respiratórias e doenças cardiovasculares. Foram extraídos números absolutos de hospitalizações para cada grupo, assim como taxas de hospitalização, de re-hospitalização, custos totais e custo médio por paciente. Resultados: Foram registradas 1.047 hospitalizações por influenza/pneumonia, 148 por outras doenças respiratórias e 1.773 por doenças cardiovasculares. A maior taxa de hospitalização ocorreu para doenças cardiovasculares, seguida por influenza/pneumonia. Foram gastos R$ 54,5 milhões, R$ 32,4 milhões e R$ 4,1 milhões com hospitalizações relacionadas a doenças cardiovasculares, influenza/pneumonia e outras doenças respiratórias, respectivamente. O maior custo médio por hospitalização, por paciente, foi observado para influenza/pneumonia (R$ 30.952), seguido por doenças cardiovasculares (R$ 30.740) e outras doenças respiratórias (R$ 27.661). Houve um maior número de hospitalizações no grupo com 65 anos ou mais, assim como maiores custos, representando 81,6% a 92,0% do custo total de hospitalizações para todas as faixas etárias. Conclusões: Influenza e doenças potencialmente relacionadas a ela, que incluem doenças respiratórias e cardiovasculares, são responsáveis por impactos clínicos e econômicos relevantes, com maiores custos associados às faixas etárias mais altas. Intervenções para minimizar o impacto da influenza, como vacinação, são de extrema relevância para a redução dos custos associados e devem ser consideradas pelos gestores.


Objective: To evaluate, through real-world data, hospitalizations attributed to influenza or potentially attributed to influenza and their costs in a health insurance from the Brazilian Private Healthcare System. Methods: Retrospective study conducted between September 2016 and August 2019 in a health insurance database to assess the hospitalization profile for three disease groups: influenza/pneumonia, other respiratory diseases and cardiovascular diseases. Absolute numbers of hospitalizations for each group were extracted, as well as hospitalization rate, rehospitalization rate, total costs and average cost per patient. Results: There were 1,047 hospitalizations for influenza/ pneumonia, 148 for other respiratory diseases and 1,773 for cardiovascular diseases. Higher hospitalization rates occurred for cardiovascular disease, followed by influenza/pneumonia. R$ 54.5 million, R$ 32.4 million, and R$ 4.1 million were spent on hospitalizations attributed to cardiovascular disease, influenza/pneumonia and other respiratory diseases, respectively. The highest average cost per hospitalization, per patient, was observed for influenza/pneumonia (R$ 30,952), followed by cardiovascular disease (R$ 30,740) and other respiratory diseases (R$ 27,661). A higher number of hospitalizations at older ages was observed, as well as higher costs, representing 81.6% to 92.0% of the total hospitalization costs for all age groups. Conclusions: Influenza and diseases potentially attributed to influenza, including respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, are responsible for relevant clinical and economic impacts. Higher hospitalization costs were associated with older age groups. Interventions to minimize the impact of influenza such as vaccination are very relevant to promote a cost reduction and should be considered by health managers.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Refugee crisis is a problem faced worldwide. The large borders with neighbouring countries make Brazil a potential destination for most of those seeking for a new life in South America. Venezuela currently fights the worst humanitarian crisis in the history of the country, and migration to Brazil emerges as an option. Living in border regions, these people are more susceptible to violence. Objective: This study aimed to revisit the medico-legal records of a city in North Brazil to calculate rates of Venezuelans involved in situations of violence. Material and methods: Medico-legal records of the city of Pacaraima, Roraima, Brazil, dated from 2013 and 2018, were revisited. The nationality of victims and perpetrators of violent actions were noted as well as the type of crime. Results: In 2013 (n = 86, 39.3%) and 2018 (n = 133, 60.7%), 219 forensic records were documented. Venezuelans were involved in 63 forensic reports (28.7%) ­ one in 2013 and 62 in 2018. Most of the reports were related to bodily integrity investigations (n = 169, 77.2%). Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of building-up social strategies to support Venezuelans and Brazilians living in the city of Pacaraima, as the number of forensic reports increased 54.7% from 2013 to 2018. This data might reflect the increase of violence in the border region, in which Venezuelans and Brazilians may figure as victims and perpetrators.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A utilização de métodos específicos de mensuração é de fundamental importância para a identificação da capacidade aeróbia e prescrição da intensidade de exercício. Normalmente esta definição é feita pela determinação do limiar anaeróbio (Lan) que corresponde à máxima fase estável entre produção e remoção de lactato sanguíneo (MFEL). Dentre as mais variadas formas de se det ermin ar a MFEL estão os testes de lactato mínimo (LM) e carga crítica (CC). No entanto, não se sabe se a utilização dessas formas de avaliação pode acarretar em resultados distintos. Objetivo: O objetivo do presente estudo foi comparar os valores de Lan obtidos por meio dos testes de CC e de LM em rat o s W istar. Método : Foram utilizados 32 ratos machos (Wistar), com peso médio 411,0 (± 4 0 ,7 gramas), o s quais fo ram submetidos às baterias de testes de CC e de LM. O teste de LM foi realizado com a indução à hiperlactacidemia com dois estímulos correspondentes a 13% do peso corporal (PC), seguido de intervalo passivo de nove minutos e teste incremental composto por estágios com duração de cin co m inut os e cargas equivalentes a 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0 e 7.0 % do PC. Já a CC foi obtida p o r m eio da in dução ao exercício em quatro diferentes estímulos randomizados, com cargas correspondentes a 7, 9, 11 e 1 3 % do PC. Resultados: Os resultados demonstraram que o Lan médio determinado pelo Teste de CC foi de 5,8 ± 1,2% do peso corporal (PC) e 4,9 ± 0,6% do PC determinado pelo Teste de LM. Co nclusão: P ode ­ se concluir que o limiar anaeróbio determinado por meio do teste CC superestimou em 18,4% o valor obtido por meio do teste de LM...(AU)


Introduction: The utilization of specific measurement methods is of fundamental importance for the identification of aerobic capacity and prescription of exercise. This determination is usually m ade through measurement of the anaerobic threshold (Lan) which corresponds to the maximal lactate st eady state (MLSS). Among the more varied forms of determination of MLSS are the minimum lactate (LM) and critical overload tests (CC). However, it is not known if the utilization of these forms o f ev aluatio n can lead to different results. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the Lan v alues o btained through the CCand LM tests in Wistar rats. Method: For this purpose, 32 male Wistar rats were used, with an average weight of 411.0 ± 40.7 grams, submitted to CC and LM tests. The LM test was performed fo r the induction of a hyperlactacidemia with two stimuli corresponding to 13% of body weight (BW), followed by a passive interval of nine minutes and an incremental test composed of stages with a duratio n of five minutes and loads equivalent to 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, and 7.0% of BW . T he CC was o bt ain ed through induced exercise in four randomized stimuli, with loads corresponding to 7, 9 , 1 1, and 1 3 % o f BW. Results: It was observed that the mean anaerobic threshold determined by CC was 5.8 ± 1 .2 % BW , and determined by LM was 4.9 ± 0.6% BW. Conclusion: It is concluded that th e an aero bic th resho ld determined through the critical workload test overestimates the value obtained through the lactate minimum test by 18.4%, thus impeding its use as an aerobic training intensity predictor in Wistar rats.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: To assess the level of agreement in health-related quality of life between children with Post-infectious Bronchiolitis Obliterans and their parent (so-called proxy). Methods: Participants aged between 8and 17 years who had been previously diagnosed with Post-infectious Bronchiolitis Obliterans were regularly followed up at a pediatric pulmonology outpatient clinic. Parents or legal guardians (caregivers) of these patients were also recruited for the study. A validated and age-appropriate version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 was used for the assessment of health-related quality of life. Caregivers completed the corresponding proxy versions of the questionnaire. The correlation between self and proxy reports of health-related quality of life was determined by intra-class correlation coefficient and dependent t-tests. Results: The majority of participants were males (79.4%), and the average age was 11.8 years. Intra-class correlations between each of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 domains and the total score were all lower than 0.6, with a range between 0.267 (poor) and 0.530 (fair). When the means of each domain and the total score of the questionnaires were compared, caregivers were observed to have a significantly lower health-related quality of life score than children, with the exception of the social domain in which the difference was not significant. However, the differences in score exceeded the critical threshold difference of four points in all other domains. Conclusion: Proxies of children and adolescents with Post-infectious Bronchiolitis Obliterans appear to consistently perceive their children as having lower health-related quality of life than how the patients perceive themselves.


Resumo: Objetivo: Avaliar o nível de concordância a respeito da qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde entre crianças com bronquiolite obliterante pós-infecciosa e seus pais (responsáveis). Métodos: Os participantes entre 8-17 anos, anteriormente diagnosticados com bronquiolite obliterante pós-infecciosa, foram acompanhados regularmente no ambulatório de pneumologia pediátrica. Os pais ou responsáveis legais (cuidadores) desses pacientes também foram convidados a participar do estudo. Uma versão validada e adequada para a idade do Inventário Pediátrico de Qualidade de Vida, versão 4.0, foi utilizada para a avaliação da qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde. Os cuidadores concluíram as versões do questionário correspondentes aos responsáveis. A correlação entre os autorrelatos e os relatos dos responsáveis da qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde foi determinada pelo coeficiente de correlação intraclasse e pelos testes t dependentes. Resultados: A maior parte dos participantes era do sexo masculino (79,4%) e a idade média foi 11,8 anos. As correlações intraclasse entre cada um dos domínios do Inventário Pediátrico de Qualidade de Vida e o escore total foram todas inferiores a 0,6, com intervalo entre 0,267 (baixo) e 0,530 (justo). Quando as médias de cada domínio e o escore total dos questionários foram comparados, observamos que os cuidadores apresentaram qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde significativamente menor em comparação com as crianças, com exceção do domínio social, no qual a diferença não foi significativa. Contudo, as diferenças no escore ultrapassaram o limite de diferença essencial de 4 pontos em todos os outros domínios. Conclusão: Os responsáveis pelas crianças e adolescentes com bronquiolite obliterante pós-infecciosa parecem perceber de forma consistente que suas crianças possuem qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde menor que os próprios pacientes.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Purpose: To determine the effect of panretinal photocoagulation on optic disk topographic parameters in non-glaucomatous patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Methods: This was a prospective, single-center, observational study. Thirty-eight eyes of 26 patients with diabetes underwent panretinal photocoagulation for proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Stereoscopic disk photographs and optic nerve head parameters were evaluated using the Zeiss fundus camera and the confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope (Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph), respectively, at baseline and 12 months after the completion of panretinal photocoagulation. Results: Thirty-eight eyes of 26 patients (15 female) with a mean age of 53.7 (range 26-74) years were recruited. No significant difference was found between the stereo photography determined mean horizontal and vertical cup-to-disk ratio before and after panretinal photocoagulation treatment (p=0.461 and 0.839, respectively). The global values of the optic nerve head parameters analyzed with the HRT3 showed no significant change from baseline to 12 months, including the disk area, cup area, rim area, cup volume, rim volume, cup-to-disk area ratio, linear cup-to-disk ratio, mean cup depth, maximum cup depth, cup shape measure, height variation contour, mean retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, and cross-sectional area. Conclusion: Our results suggest that panretinal photocoagulation does not cause morphological optic disk changes in patients with diabetic proliferative retinopathy after 1 year of follow-up.


RESUMO Objetivo: Determinar o efeito da panfotocoagulação retiniana nos parâmetros topográficos do disco óptico em pacientes não glaucomatosos com retinopatia diabética proliferativa. Métodos: Este é um estudo observacional pros­pectivo e unicêntrico. Trinta e oito olhos de 26 pacientes dia­béticos foram submetidos à panfotocoagulação retiniana para retinopatia diabética proliferativa. As estereofotografias e os parâmetros do disco óptico foram avaliados usando o retinógrafo Visucam da Zeiss e o oftalmoscópio confocal de varredura a laser (Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph), respectivamente, no início e 12 meses após a conclusão da panfotocoagulação. Resultados: Trinta e oito olhos de 26 pacientes (15 mulheres) com média de idade de 53,7 anos (intervalo de 26-74) foram recrutados. Nenhuma diferença significativa foi encontrada entre a média horizontal e vertical para relação escavação/disco óptico determinadas pelas estereo­fotografias antes e após o tratamento com panfotocoagulação retiniana (p=0,461 e 0,839, respectivamente). Os valores globais dos parâmetros do disco óptico analisados com a tomografia de varredura a laser não mostraram nenhuma mudança significativa entre o início até os 12 meses, incluindo disk area, cup area, rim area, cup volume, rim volume, C/D area ratio, linear C/D ratio, mean cup depth, maximum cup depth, cup shape measure, height variation contour, mean retinal nerve fiber layer thickness e cross-sectional area. Conclusão: Nossos resultados sugerem que a panfotocoagulação retiniana não causa alterações morfológicas no disco óptico em pacientes com retinopatia diabética proliferativa após um ano de seguimento.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: A fisioterapia respiratória tem obtido um importante espaço e reconhecimento ao possibilitar resultados de grande eficácia no tratamento intensivo do recém-nascido (RN) e do lactente. Um dos importantes objetos de trabalho da fisioterapia na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) neonatal e pediátrica são as técnicas de higiene brônquica rotineiramente utilizadas, as quais apresentam grande variabilidade. OBJETIVO: Verificar as evidências científicas a respeito dos possíveis efeitos benéficos ou adversos, indicações e contraindicações das técnicas de higiene brônquica mais utilizadas no RN e no lactente na UTI. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática, utilizando ensaios clínicos, sem delimitação temporal, baseada no protocolo PRISMA. Foram utilizadas as seguintes bases de dados: PubMed, LILACS, SciELO, PEDro e ScienceDirect. RESULTADOS: Foram identificados um total de 154 artigos, apenas 10 atenderam aos critérios de inclusão. Destes 5 (50%) associam tapotagem/percussão torácica, drenagem postural, aspiração de vias aéreas superiores e/ou traqueal e vibração e/ou vibrocompressão torácica manual; 1 (10%) associa drenagem, vibração e percussão; 1 (10%) associa vibrocompressão e aspiração nasotraqueal; 1 (10%) associa percussão e vibração torácica; 1 (10%) estudo utiliza a aspiração traqueal e 1 (10%) utiliza a vibrocompressão torácica manual. CONCLUSÃO: A maioria dos estudos encontrados não relataram contraindicações relevantes para impedir o uso de técnicas de higiene brônquica na UTI neonatal e pediátrica, entretanto, alguns resultados foram controversos quanto a sua correta e eficaz indicação.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To determine the frequency of weight control behaviors (WCBs) and their correlation with body mass index (BMI) and weight-based self-evaluation. Methods: Data were collected by the Brazilian Internet Study on Temperament and Psychopathology (BRAINSTEP) from 27,501 volunteers (30.4% men, mean age 28.9±8.7 years). Results: The most prevalent WCBs for men and women were exhaustive physical exercise and prolonged fasting, respectively. Frequent exhaustive physical exercise was the only behavior more often adopted by men. BMI was positively associated with WCBs, which were very frequent in obese subjects. About 15% of normal-weight women reported using diuretics and laxatives, and 12.2% reported vomiting as a WCB at least occasionally. Among subjects who regarded body weight highly in their self-evaluation, there was a strong positive association with all WCBs, at similar degrees, in both genders. Compared to those who never base their intrinsic personal value on body weight, those who frequently base intrinsic value on body weight were at 25-30 times higher risk of inducing vomiting. Conclusion: The prevalence of participants adopting WCBs was high, especially in women and obese subjects. Weight-based self-evaluation was more strongly associated with WCBs than BMI.

ABSTRACT

The aim was to investigate the effects of HMB supplementation on the physical performance and anthropometric parameters of Wistar rats that underwent eight weeks of concurrent training. We used 22 male Wistar rats of approximately 60 days of age, And were divided into four groups: control (C), supplemented control (SC), exercise (E) and supplemented exercise (SE). The training consisted of 30 minutes of swimming with an overload corresponding to 70 % of the anaerobic threshold, a one-minute interval, and four sets of ten jumps in water with a one minute interval between sets and a load of 50 % of body weight. After the tests, the tLIM and tTESTE were obtained and used to evaluate the performance of the animals, and anthropometric indices evaluated. The weight increases during the treatment in the SC animals was significantly higher than the animals in groups C and E. The absolute weight of the muscles, kidney and epididymal fat showed higher values for the SC and SE groups in relation to the others.


Se investigaron los efectos de la suplementación con HMB en el rendimiento físico y los parámetros antropométricos de ratas Wistar sometidas a ocho semanas de entrenamiento concurrente. La muestra consistió en 22 ratas Wistar machos, aproximadamente de 60 días de edad, los que fueron divididos en cuatro grupos: control (C), control suplementado (CS), ejercicio (E) y ejercicio suplementado (ES). El entrenamiento consistió en 30 minutos de natación correspondiente a 70 % de la sobrecarga del umbral anaeróbico, un intervalo de un minuto y cuatro series de diez saltos en el agua con intervalo de un minuto entre series y una carga del 50 % del peso del cuerpo. El tLIM y tTESTE se utilizaron para evaluar el rendimiento de los animales, y los índices antropométricos. El aumento de peso durante el tratamiento CS fue significativamente más alto que las de los grupos C y E. El peso absoluto de los músculos, los riñones y la grasa del epidídimo mostraron valores más altos en los grupos CS y ES en relación con los demás.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT The simple bone cyst,or traumatic bone cyst, solitary or idiopathic bone cavity is an intraosseous pseudocyst discovered through a panoramic radiographic examination. Commonly, the SBC is presented as an asymptomatic lesion, radiolucent, unilocular, without cortical expansion, with margins adorning vital tooth roots of the affected region. The literature has recommended that clinical and radiographic aspects of simple bone cyst are quite convincing as to diagnosis, so follow-up through clinical and radiographic examination has been suggested. This case illustrates an exuberant clinical case of simple bone cyst, which was presented as multilocular and expansive lesion in a 7-year-old patient. Surgical exploration was performed because her parents were anxious about the presumptive diagnosis of other more aggressive lesions. The diagnosis of SBC was confirmed. The case was monitored and, after three years, total bone remodeling of the affected area was observed. In conclusion, asymptomatic radiolucent lesions that suggest a strong presumptive diagnosis of a simple bone cyst can be clinically and radiographically monitored. However, clinical variations, as in the present clinical case, require confirmation of the diagnosis, which is performed through exploratory surgery. The establishment of the diagnosis affords the safest approach for both the professional and the patient.


RESUMO O cisto ósseo simples, ou cisto ósseo traumático, solitário ou cavidade óssea idiopática é um pseudocisto intra-ósseo descoberto através de um exame radiográfico panorâmico. Comumente, o cisto ósseo simples se apresenta como uma lesão assintomática, radiolúcida, unilocular, sem expansão de corticais, com margens festonando as raízes dentárias vitais da região afetada. A literatura tem recomendado que os aspectos clínicos e radiográficos do cisto ósseo simples são bastante convincentes do seu diagnóstico, portanto a proservação através de exame clínico e radiográfico tem sido sugerida. O presente caso ilustra um caso clínico de um grande cisto ósseo simples, o qual se apresentava multilocular e expansivo, numa criança de 7 anos. Diante da ansiedade dos pais e diagnóstico presuntivo de outras lesões mais agressivas, foi realizada a exploração cirúrgica, a qual confirmou o diagnóstico de cisto ósseo simples. O caso foi acompanhado e, após três anos, foi observada a total remodelação óssea da área afetada. Como conclusão, as lesões radiolúcidas assintomáticas que sugerirem um diagnóstico presuntivo muito indicativo de cisto ósseo simples, podem ser acompanhadas clínica e radiograficamente. Entretanto, as variações de apresentação clínica, como no presente caso clínico, requerem uma confirmação do diagnóstico, a qual é realizada através da exploração cirúrgica. O estabelecimento do diagnóstico torna a condução do caso mais segura para ambos o profissional e o paciente.

ABSTRACT

The sensation of pain at the surgical site may be increased and persist for long periods after the noxious stimulus has been removed. Post-operative pain from the extraction of impacted molar may cause serious discomfort to the patient resulting in considered moderate to severe in intensity. Analgesia for this surgical procedure is related to the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids, analgesics of central and peripheral actions used in combination or individually. The aim of this review is to show an update about the use and the physiological bases for indications of the analgesic therapy in third molar surgery.


La sensación de dolor en el sitio quirúrgico puede ser mayor y persistente por largos periodos de tiempo después de que el estímulo nocivo ha sido retirado. El dolor postoperatorio desde la extracción de un molar impactado puede causar molestias moderadas o severas en intensidad. La analgesia para estos procedimientos son relacionadas con el uso de fármacos antiinflamatorios no esteroidales, esteroides, analgésicos de acción central y periféricos utilizados en combinación o individualmente. El objetivo de esta revisión es mostrar una puesta al día en el uso y las bases fisiológicas para la indicación de terapia analgésica en cirugía de tercer molar.
