ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Este estudo objetivou identificar aspectos da epidemiologia dos traumatismos cranioencefálicos (TCEs) moderados e graves dos pacientes admitidos no Hospital de Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, bem como sua associação com consumo de cocaína e canabinoides. Métodos: Para isso, foram coletados dados prospectivos sobre 139 vítimas assistidas nesse hospital, todas com idade igual ou superior a 18 anos. Os acidentes de transporte responderam pelo maior número de vítimas, seguidos daquelas pessoas que sofreram quedas acidentais. Resultados: Do total de pacientes avaliados, 84 (com casos de TCE moderado, grave e mesmo leve) tiveram amostra de urina coletada para detecção de maconha e cocaína. Os exames foram positivos para maconha em 8,2% dos pacientes e em 13,9% para cocaína. Conclusão: Não foram vistas diferenças significativas no tocante ao sexo e à idade, bem como à atividade realizada no momento do trauma. A maioria dos atendimentos desses pacientes, no entanto, se deu no período noturno. A alta frequência de consumo de substâncias ilícitas associada aos TCEs evidencia a importância de se incluírem esses dados quando da realização de estudos acerca desse tipo de traumatismo, bem como aponta para um problema de saúde pública.


Objective: This study aimed at identifying epidemiological aspects of moderate and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) of patients who were admitted at the Clinics Hospital of the Federal University of Uberlândia, as well as its association with marijuana and cocaine intake. Methods: Prospective data were collected from 139 assisted patients, all of them aged 18 or more years. Traffic accidents were responsible for the greatest number of victims, followed by accidental drops. Results: Eighty-four patients (including moderate, severe and even light TBI) had a urine sample evaluated for the presence of marijuana and cocaine. Marijuana positive tests were found in 8.2% of patients, and there were 13.9% for cocaine. Conclusion: No significant differences were seen concerning age and sex, neither for the activity performed at the trauma time. However more patients were admitted at the hospital at night time. The high frequency of consumption of these illegal stuff associated with TBI shows the importance of having this information while performing trials about this kind of trauma. It also indicates this is public health problem.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Ressaltar a importância da localização da linha semicircular, e suas relações anatômicas, durante as reconstruções mamárias com retalho miocutâneo de reto-abdominal. Método: A parede abdominal de 17 cadáveres formolizados foi dissecada por planos, identificando-se a linha semicircular (LSC), os vasos epigástricos profundos inferiores e sua intersecção com a borda lateral do músculo reto-abdominal. A cavidade abdominal também foi aberta e visualizada a LSC sob transiluminação. Mediu-se a distância da LSC à cicatriz umbilical e ao púbis, além da distância de uma linha imaginária entre as espinhas ilíacas ântero-superiores. Resultados: Em 64% das dissecções, a LSC localizava-se no 1/3 superior da distância compreendida entre a cicatriz umbilical e o púbis. A média da distância da cicatriz umbilical à LSC foi de 4,2 ± 1,6 cm. A da LSC ao púbis foi de 10,4 ±1,5 cm. A linha biespinha estava localizada sempre abaixo da LSC, estando disposta a cercade 2,7 ± 1,4 cm. Conclusão: A projeção da LSC a partir da linha biespinha, assim como da cicatriz umbilical ou do púbis, nos oferece pontos externos de referência importantes para a localização da LSC e, portanto, para um planejamento pré-operatório mais seguro.


Objective: The knowledge and the importance of the location of the arcuate line (AL) and its relation to anatomic land marks in breast reconstruction with a transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap. Methods: Human cadaveric abdominal walls of 17 formalin-phenol-alcohol solution fixed cadavers were dissected and the AL, inferior deep epigastric vessels and its intersection with the lateral rectus abdominis muscle sheath were identified. With the abdominal cavity opened, the AL was identified by transilumination. The distance between AL to the pubic symphysis, to the umbilicus and to the level of the anterior superior iliac spines (ASIS) were measured. Results: The AL was located at the upper third, between the umbilicus and pubic symphysis in 64% of the dissections. The distance of AL to umbilicus was found to be at a mean of 4.2 ± 1.6 cm and to pubic symphys is was 10.4 ± 1.5 cm. The AL was always located superior to the line draw between the ASIS at a mean of 2.7 ± 1.4 cm. Conclusion: The relationship between AL and surface anatomic land marks such as ASIS, umbilicus and pubic symphysis is important to a better preoperative knowledge of the AL location and it helps preoperative planning.

ABSTRACT

This study aimed at observing aspects of epidemiology in order to investigate the use of alcohol in patients older than 18 with severe and moderate traumatic brain injury, which were attended in the Clinics Hospital of the University of Uberlândia. Positive alcoholemy was found in 39.3 percent of the patients. Of the 33 positive exams alcoholemy was found higher than 60 mg/dL in 28 (84.6 percent). There was not significant relation between alcoholemy levels and trauma severity. The major prevalence occurred on Saturdays nights. The most frequent types of external causes were transportation accidents (64.74) followed by accidental falls (17.27 percent) and physical aggression (16.55 percent). 93.9 percent of the patients with positive alcoholemy were men aged 20-29. 24.2 percent of the ones with positive alcoholemy died yet no significant difference was found in the study of the ones with negative alcoholemy (n=51) (p=0.93); RR= 0.9; IC95 percent=0.40-2.08.


Os objetivos deste estudo são investigar aspectos da epidemiologia e identificar o uso de álcool em pacientes com traumatismo craniencefálico grave e moderado em maiores de 18 anos atendidos no Hospital de Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia. Encontrou-se alcoolemia positiva em 39,3 por cento dos pacientes. Nos 33 exames positivos, foram observadas alcoolemias superiores a 60 mg/dL em 28 (84,6 por cento). Não houve relação significativa entre os níveis de alcoolemia e a gravidade do trauma. Maior prevalência ocorreu aos sábados, no período noturno. Os tipos de causa externa mais frequentes foram os acidentes de transporte (64,74 por cento), seguidos de quedas acidentais (17,27 por cento) e de agressões (16,55 por cento). Dos pacientes com alcoolemia positiva, 93,9 por cento eram do sexo masculino, com maior prevalência dos 20 aos 29 anos. Dentre aqueles com alcoolemia positiva, 24,2 por cento vieram a falecer, não havendo diferença significante com os pacientes com alcoolemia negativa (n=51) (p=0,93); RR= 0,9; IC95 por cento=0,40-2,08.

ABSTRACT

A implementaçäo da poliquimioterapia (PQT/OMS) - composta pelas drogas dapsona, clofazimina e rifampicina - possibilitou a cura da hanseníase, porém näo foram priorizados o manejo dos efeitos adversos pelas equipes de saúde. Objetivando determinar a magnitude dos efeitos adversos da poliquimioterapia para hanseníase e relacioná-los como possível causa de näo adesividade do paciente ao tratamento, revisou-se prontuários de 187 pacientes tratados com PQT, de 1995 a 2000, no Centro de Saúde Escola (CSE) -UFU, com registro de efeitos colaterais em 71 pacientes (37,9 por cento). Dentre os 113 efeitos adversos, 80 (70,7 por cento) relacionaram-se à dapsona, 7 (6,2 por cento) à rifampicina, 26 (20,5 por cento) à clofazimina. Esses efeitos levaram à mudança de esquema terapêutico em 28 (14,9 por cento) dos 187 pacientes ou 39,4 por cento dos 71 com efeitos adversos. Discute-se a importância de considerar os efeitos adversos da PQT na capacitaçäo das equipes de saúde para maior adesäo do paciente ao tratamento, colaborando para eliminar a hanseníase como problema de saúde pública

ABSTRACT

The introduction of multidrug therapy (WHO/MDT)-composed by the drugs dapsone, clofazimine and rifampicin has enabled the cure of Hansen's disease, however, the adverse effects of these drugs were not given priority by the health team. Aiming to determine MDT's adverse effects' magnitude and relate them to the non-adhesion of patients to the treatment, a study of 187 charts of patients treated with MDT from January of 1995 to May 2000, was carried out at a Health Center of the Federal University of Uberlandia. Side effects were recorded in 71 patients' charts. Among the 113 side effects found, 80 (70.7 per cent) were related to dapsone, 7 (6.2 per cent) were caused by rifampicin and 26 (20.5 per cent) were attributed to clofazimine. These effects induced 28 (14.9 per cent), patients to change the therapeutic scheme, representing 39.4 per cent from the 71 patients with adverse effects. Throughout this study, the importance is discussed of considering MDT's adverse effects when training the health team to heighten the patient's adhesion to the treatment and thereby collaborating to eliminate Hansen's disease as a public health problem.
