ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT A 65-year-old male with a history of urinary tract trauma requiring cystotomy and chronic bladder catheterization, presenting with chronic and uninvestigated changes in the color of the urine bag system, with no urine color change, and positive urine culture for Proteus mirabilis . These characteristics refer to the purple urine bag syndrome, a not weel-known condition, with a benign course in most cases, and associated with urinary tract infection in patients with chronic bladder catheterization. Although it is characterized by marked changes, it is underdiagnosed by healthcare professionals.


RESUMO Homem de 65 anos com história de trauma do sistema urinário, sendo necessário cistotomia e sondagem vesical crônica, apresentando alterações crônicas e não investigadas da cor do sistema coletor de urina, sem alteração da cor da urina, e urocultura positiva para Proteus mirabilis . Tais características remetem à síndrome do saco coletor de urina roxo, uma entidade pouco conhecida, de curso benigno na maioria da vezes, associada à infecção urinária em paciente com cateterismo vesical de demora. Embora seja caracterizada por alterações marcantes, é subdiagnosticada pelos profissionais de saúde.

ABSTRACT

Estilos de vida pouco saudáveis são fatores de risco preveníveis para doenças crônicas. Intervir sobre eles constitui estratégia fundamental de saúde preventiva. Objetivo: Avaliar o estilo de vida, os níveis de estresse, as doenças e os fatores de risco cardiovascular de estudantes de medicina. Métodos: Estudo transversal, observacional, com alunos de uma escola de medicina estratificados em: Grupo 1(G1) - do 1º ao 4º período do curso, Grupo 2 (G2) - do 5º ao 8º e Grupo 3 (G3) - do 9º ao 12º. Foram aplicados dois questionários: Estilo de vida Fantástico e outro relacionado a níveis de estresse, doenças e fatores de risco cardiovascular. Resultados: Foram avaliados 482 estudantes, média de idade 21,7±2,7 anos. A pontuação média no questionário Estilo de vida Fantástico classificou o G1 e o G3 em Muito bom (72,1 e 71,3 pontos, respectivamente) e o G2 em Bom (69,2 pontos) (p=0,007). Quanto aos níveis de estresse, responderam Alto ou Muito Alto 22,3% no G1, 34,9%no G2 e 30,7% no G3 (p=0,008). As doenças mais prevalentes foram dislipidemia (7,4%), hipertensão arterial (2,6%)e transtorno depressivo (2,2%). Conclusões: Houve piora considerável do estilo de vida e dos níveis de estresse a partir do 5º período, com melhora parcial nos dois últimos anos do curso. Observou-se expressiva prevalência de dislipidemia, hipertensão e transtorno depressivo...


Unhealthy lifestyles are preventable risk factors for chronic diseases. Intervening on them is a fundamental strategy of preventive health. Objective: To evaluate lifestyle, stress levels, diseases and cardiovascular risk factors of medical students. Methods: Cross-sectional, observational study with students from a medical school stratified into: Group 1 (G1) - from the 1st to the 4th period of the course, Group 2 (G2) - from the 5th to the 8th and Group 3 (G3) - from the 9th to the 12th. Two questionnaires were given: Fantastic Lifestyle and another one related to stress levels, diseases and cardiovascular risk factors. Results: The study included 482 students, average age 21.7±2.7 years. The average score on the Fantastic Lifestyle questionnaire ranked G1 and G3 at Very good (72.1 and 71.3 points, respectively) and G2 in Good (69.2 points) (p=0.007). As for the stress levels, they responded High or Very High 22.3% in G1, 34.9% in G2 and 30.7% in G3 (p=0.008). The most prevalent diseases were dyslipidemia (7.4%), hypertension (2.6%) and depressive disorder (2.2%). Conclusions: There was considerable worsening of lifestyle and stress levels from the 5th period, with partial improvement in the last two years of the course. There was a significant prevalence of dyslipidemia, hypertension and depressive disorder...

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To investigate the vitality of the spleen lower pole after subtotal splenectomy with suture to the stomach and after posterior peritoneal gastro-splenic membrane section, using macro and microscopic evaluations. METHODS: Sixty Wistar rats were used in this study and were randomly distributed in the three groups: Group 1: (n=20), subtotal splenectomy with lower pole preservation, Group 2: (n=20) subtotal splenectomy with lower pole preservation and suture to the stomach, Group 3: subtotal splenectomy with lower pole preservation and posterior peritoneal gastrosplenic ligament section. The animals were sacrificed 45 days after the surgery and the spleen lower poles were removed for macroscopic and microscopic examination. RESULTS: All animals in this series survived. No macroscopic differences were encountered between the groups. Microscopic evaluation observed statistic difference concerning fibrosis between group 1 and 3 (p≤0.05), but the analysis for necrosis and inflammation presented no differences. CONCLUSION: Vitality of the spleen lower pole after subtotal splenectomy is minimally modified when it is fixed to the stomach or when the posterior peritoneal gastrosplenic ligament is resected. .

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: analisar os resultados da herniorrafia inguinal bilateral pela técnica de Lichtenstein. MÉTODOS: estudo dos prontuários de 59 pacientes submetidos à herniorrafia inguinal bilateral simultânea, eletiva, no período entre 2003 e 2007. Foram analisados: sexo, idade, peso, tempo operatório, tempo total de internação, classificação de Nyhus, intercorrências no pós-operatório imediato e tardio, e recidiva. Esses dados foram submetidos à análise estatística descritiva. RESULTADOS: dos 59 pacientes, 95% eram homens; e 5%, mulheres. A idade variou de 40 a 60 anos, o peso de 50 a 103 kg, o tempo operatório de 60 a 180 minutos, o tempo de internação de um a seis dias. Trinta pacientes apresentavam hérnias do tipo IIIB; nove, do tipo II; dez, do tipo IIIA; sete, do tipo IV; um, do tipo II à esquerda e tipo IIIB à direita; um, tipo IIIA à direita e IIIB à esquerda; e um, do tipo IIIA à direita e do tipo II à esquerda. No pós-operatório imediato, a dor foi a manifestação mais importante em 30,5% dos casos. Em 94,92% dos casos, não houve complicações tardias. Ocorreram dois casos de inguinodinia e um de dor em queimação local. Observou-se uma recidiva, no 29º mês de pós-operatório. CONCLUSÕES: a herniorrafia inguinal bilateral simultânea pela técnica de Lichtenstein foi segura e eficaz, pois houve baixo índice de complicações, curta permanência hospitalar e, em um período médio de 48 meses de acompanhamento, houve apenas um caso de recidiva.


OBJECTIVE: To analyze the results of bilateral inguinal hernia repairs by the Lichtenstein technique. METHODS: We studied the charts of 59 patients who underwent elective simultaneous bilateral inguinal hernia repair between 2003 and 2007. We analyzed: gender, age, weight, operative time, length of hospital stay, Nyhus classification, complications in the immediate and late postoperative periods, and recurrence. These data were submitted to descriptive statistical analysis. RESULTS: Of the 59 patients, 95% were men. Age ranged from 40 to 60 years; weight, from 50 to 103 kg; operative time, from 60 to 80 minutes; and the length of stay, from one to six days. Thirty patients had type IIIB hernias; nine, type II; ten, type IIIA; seven, type IV; one, type II on the left and type IIIB on the right; one, type IIIA on the right and IIIB on the left; and one, type IIIA on the right and type II on the left. In the immediate postoperative period, pain was the most important manifestation, in 30.5% of subjects. In 94.92% of cases there were no complications. There were two cases of inguinodinia and one of burning pain in the surgical site. There was one recurrence 29 months after the procedure. CONCLUSIONS: Simultaneous bilateral inguinal hernia repair by Lichtenstein technique was safe and effective, with a low rate of complications, short hospital stay, and only one case of recurrence at an average of 48 months follow-up.
