ABSTRACT

Abstract Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis of Gougerot and Carteaud is a rare dermatosis with onset during puberty, more prevalent in females than in males. The pathogenesis is unknown, but some theories suggest either a keratinization or endocrine disorder. The lesions are verrucous, brownish, hyperkeratotic papules or spots that coalesce in a confluent and/or reticulated pattern. This report presents a case with extensive cutaneous involvement associated with acanthosis nigricans and good response to treatment with methotrexate.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To translate the Asthma Control and Communication Instrument (ACCI) to Portuguese and adapt it for use in Brazil. Methods: The ACCI was translated to Portuguese and adapted for use in Brazil in accordance with internationally accepted guidelines. The protocol included the following steps: permission and rights of use granted by the original author; translation of the ACCI from English to Portuguese; reconciliation; back-translation; review and harmonization of the back-translation; approval from the original author; review of the Portuguese version of the ACCI by an expert panel; cognitive debriefing (the clarity, understandability, and acceptability of the translated version being tested in a sample of the target population); and reconciliation and preparation of the final version. Results: During the cognitive debriefing process, 41 asthma patients meeting the inclusion criteria completed the ACCI and evaluated the clarity of the questions/statements. The clarity index for all ACCI items was > 0.9, meaning that all items were considered to be clear. Conclusions: The ACCI was successfully translated to Portuguese and culturally adapted for use in Brazil, the translated version maintaining the psychometric properties of the original version. The ACCI can be used in clinical practice because it is easy to understand and easily applied.


RESUMO Objetivo: Traduzir e adaptar culturalmente para a língua portuguesa falada no Brasil um instrumento que avalia a comunicação e o controle da asma, denominado Asthma Control and Communication Instrument (ACCI). Métodos: O ACCI foi traduzido e adaptado culturalmente com um protocolo que incluiu etapas internacionalmente aceitas: autorização e cessão de direitos de uso do ACCI de seu idealizador; tradução do ACCI da língua inglesa para a língua portuguesa; reconciliação; retradução; revisão e harmonização da retradução; aprovação do idealizador do ACCI; revisão da versão em português do ACCI por especialistas; desdobramento cognitivo (teste da clareza, compreensibilidade e aceitabilidade da versão traduzida em uma amostra da população-alvo) e reconciliação para a elaboração da versão final. Resultados: Na etapa do desdobramento cognitivo, foram entrevistados 41 indivíduos com asma que preencheram os critérios de inclusão. Todos responderam ao ACCI e avaliaram a clareza dos enunciados/questões e, para todos os itens, obteve-se um índice de clareza superior a 0,9, ou seja, todas as questões foram consideradas claras. Conclusões: A tradução e a adaptação cultural do ACCI para a língua portuguesa falada no Brasil foram bem-sucedidas e mantiveram as propriedades psicométricas do instrumento original. O ACCI pode ser utilizado na prática clínica por ser simples e de fácil compreensão e aplicação.
