ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción: en el período de recuperación de la anestesia general se deben metabolizar los medicamentos empleados y restablecer las alteraciones fisiológicas. La acupuntura es un método de tratamiento que ha sido estudiado en el período perioperatorio con diferentes fines; sin embargo, es menos conocido su efecto en la recuperación de la anestesia general. Objetivo: describir el efecto de la estimulación con Acupuntura en la recuperación de la anestesia general balanceada en pacientes intervenidas quirúrgicamente por nódulo de mama. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional prospectivo, en 60 pacientes intervenidas quirúrgicamente de nódulo de mama con anestesia general endotraqueal balanceada, de enero de 2014 a enero de 2016, en el Hospital Provincial Docente José Ramón López Tabrane, de Matanzas. Se conformaron dos grupos: grupo I, al que al finalizar la cirugía se le colocaron agujas de acupuntura en los puntos R1, Du26 y P9; y grupo II, al que no se le realizó acupuntura. El efecto de la acupuntura en la recuperación anestésica se midió a través de la Escala de Aldrete. Resultados: la edad de mayor incidencia fue de 40 a 49 años. El estado físico de las pacientes, según la Sociedad Americana de Anestesiología, es I. Prevaleció un tiempo anestésico de 61 a 90 minutos. Más del 75 % de las féminas tuvieron un tiempo de recuperación anestésica entre 31 y 60 minutos. Se presentaron dos complicaciones leves atribuibles a la acupuntura. Conclusiones: la aplicación de la acupuntura acortó el tiempo de recuperación anestésica en las pacientes estudiadas (AU).


ABSTRACT Introduction: in the recovery period from general anesthesia the used drugs should be metabolized and the physiological alterations restored. Acupuncture is a treatment method that has been studied in the perioperative period with different aims; nevertheless its effect on the recovery from general anesthesia is less well known. Objective: to describe the acupuncture stimulation effect on the recovery from general balanced anesthesia in patients who underwent a breast nodule surgery. Materials and methods: a prospective, observational study was performed in 60 patients who underwent a surgery of breast nodule with balanced endotracheal general anesthesia, from January 2014 to January 2016, at the Provincial Teaching Hospital "Jose Ramon Lopez Tabrane" of Matanzas. Two groups were formed: group I included patients to whom acupuncture needles were placed in R1, Du 26 and P9 acupoints after surgery, and Group II patients to whom acupuncture was not performed. The acupuncture effect on anesthetic recovery was assessed using the Aldrete Scale. Two groups were formed: group I, whose members at the end of the surgery were placed acupuncture needles to in the points R1, Du26 and P9; and group II, whose members did not receive acupuncture. The effect of acupuncture on anesthetic recovery was measured through the Aldrete Scale. Results: the highest incidence age was 40 to 49 years. The physical condition of the patients, according to the American Society of Anesthesiology, was I. An anesthetic time of 61 to 90 minutes prevailed. More than 75% of the women had an anesthetic recovery time between 31 and 60 minutes. There were two minor complications attributable to acupuncture. Conclusions: acupuncture application shortened the anesthetic recovery time in the studied patients (AU).

Abstract OBJECTIVE To understand the importance of group strategy in the process of nursing care to high-risk pregnant women. METHODS Qualitative and descriptive study conducted at Assis Chateaubriand Teaching Maternity Hospital in February-March 2017, through focus groups with 24 hospitalized pregnant women. Data was submitted to content analysis and the relevant ideas of the discourses were extracted, forming categories. RESULTS Three thematic categories were constructed: Interactive groups as a space of bond and coexistence, Educational strategy as an approach to good delivery and birthcare practices, Impact of group experience in strengthening the connection between the health team and the pregnant woman. The group of pregnant women is a space of coexistence and bonding that stimulates them to share knowledge and experiences, re-signifying links. The groups promote sharing of experiences, learning and reflection on the possibilities and limitations of the health-disease process, reducing anxiety and contributing to empowerment in decision making. CONCLUSION The considerations and suggestions of the pregnant women guided the nurses in the development of the groups, which became strategic spaces of care, acquisition of knowledge and establishment of trust relationships with the nurses, with a consequent impact on the quality of care.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Coxiella burnetii is a zoonotic agent transmitted mainly by small ruminants. In Brazil the disease has been classified as a notifiable disease since 2013, when human cases were reported. This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with the presence of anti- Coxiella burnetii antibodies in goats and sheep in a semiarid region of Northeastern Brazil. Sera of 412 goats and 403 sheep from municipality of Petrolina, Pernambuco, were examined by the Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Test (IFAT) against antigens of C. burnetii. Information about management variables (independent variables) that could be associated with the presence of the microorganism (dependent variables) were obtained from the supervisor of each farm. It was determined that 2.2% (9/412) of the goats and 2.1% (9/403) of the sheep had antibodies reactive to C. burnetii. The presence of anti-C. burnetii antibodies was associated with the dry area of the Sequeiro (a region in the northern part of the municipality of Petrolina) (P = 0.025), male sheep (P = 0.020), and intensive goat breeding (P = 0.005). This study therefore showed the presence of anti-C. burnetii antibodies in goat and sheep, confirming for the first time that this agent is likely circulating among goat herds in the Caatinga Biome, semi-arid of Brazil.


Resumo Coxiella burnetii é um agente zoonótico transmitido principalmente por pequenos ruminantes. No Brasil, a doença foi classificada como de notificação compulsória desde 2013, quando casos humanos foram relatados. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os fatores de risco associados à presença de anticorpos anti-Coxiella burnetii em caprinos e ovinos em uma região semiárida do Nordeste do Brasil. Este estudo envolveu um inquérito sorológico de 412 caprinos e 403 ovinos em fazendas do município de Petrolina, no estado de Pernambuco. Os soros foram examinados pela Reação de Imunofluorescência Indireta (RIFI) contra antígenos de C. burnetii . Informações sobre variáveis ​​de manejo (variáveis ​​independentes) que poderiam estar associadas à presença do microrganismo (variáveis ​​dependentes) foram obtidas do proprietário de cada fazenda. Foi determinado que 2,2% (9/412) dos caprinos e 2,1% (9/403) dos ovinos tinham anticorpos reativos a C. burnetii. A presença de anticorpos anti-C. burnetii foram associados com a área seca do Sequeiro (região no norte do município de Petrolina) (P = 0,025), ovinos machos (P = 0,020) e criação intensiva de caprinos (P = 0,005). Este estudo, portanto, observou a presença de anticorpos anti-C. burnetii em pequenos ruminantes, confirmando pela primeira vez que este agente pode estar circulando em rebanhos caprinos no bioma Caatinga, semiárido do Brasil.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Durante el climaterio y la menopausia debido a cambios hormonales pueden presentarse en las mujeres síntomas que afectan la calidad de vida y las relaciones interpersonales. La homeopatía puede ser utilizada como terapia alternativa o complementaria en el manejo de sus síntomas proporcionando múltiples beneficios, escasos efectos secundarios, ahorro de recursos y apertura de una nueva línea para investigar. La bibliografía sobre este tema es insuficiente y se encuentra dispersa lo que dificulta la consulta por parte de los profesionales que la necesitan. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica con el objetivo de identificar y describir los principales medicamentos homeopáticos que pueden ser utilizados para tratar los síntomas durante el climaterio y la menopausia. Los artículos se identificaron básicamente a través de la búsqueda automatizada en las bases de datos Scielo, PubMed y EBSCO, entre los meses de enero de 2017 a mayo de 2018. Se revisaron aquellos libros y artículos que por su trascendencia fueron considerados como referentes en el tema. Se escogieron 26 referencias bibliográficas que se ajustaban a los objetivos de esta investigación. Fueron identificados y descritos 22 medicamentos homeopáticos susceptibles de ser utilizados en el tratamiento de los síntomas de climaterio y menopausia por lo que puede ser una fuente útil de consulta (AU).


ABSTRACT During the climacteric and menopause, due to hormonal changes, women may present symptoms affecting life quality and interpersonal relations. Homeopathy could be used as an alternative or complementary therapy in the management of those symptoms, providing several benefits, scarce secondary effects, saving resources and opening a new research field. There is not enough bibliography on this topic and it is dispersed, making it difficult for the professional to consult it when it is necessary. A bibliographic review was carried out with the objective of identifying and describing the main homeopathic medicinal products that could be used to treat the symptoms during the climacteric and menopause. The articles were identified mainly through an automated search in Scielo, PubMed and EBSCO databases, in the period from January 2017 and May 2018. Those books and articles considered as referents in the topic because of their transcendence were reviewed. 26 bibliographic references were chosen because they complied with the objective of this research. 20 homeopathic medicinal products capable of being used in the treatment of the climacteric and menopause symptoms were identified and described, being therefore a useful consultation source (AU).

ABSTRACT

The genus Eremanthus is recognized by the predominance of sesquiterpene lactones from the furanoheliangolide type, a class of substances extensively tested against cancer cell lines. Thus, the species E. crotonoides (DC.) Sch. Bip., Asteraceae, obtained on "restinga" vegetation was evaluated against U251 and U87-MG glioma cell lines using the MTT colorimetric assay. Dichloromethane fraction was cytotoxic to both glioblastoma multiforme cell lines. We then conducted UPLC-PDA-ESI-MS/MS analysis of the dichloromethane fraction, which allowed the identification of the sesquiterpene lactones centratherin and goyazensolide. The isolation of centratherin was performed using chromatographic techniques and the identification of this substance was confirmed according to NMR data. Cytotoxic activity of centratherin alone was also evaluated against both U251 and U87-MG cells, which showed IC50 values comparable with those obtained for the commercial anticancer drug doxorubicin. All the tested samples showed cytotoxic activity against glioblastoma multiforme cells which suggests that E. crotonoides extracts may be important sources of antiproliferative substances and that the centratherin may serve as prototype for developing new antiglioblastoma drugs.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To compare the achieved refractive outcomes of patients undergoing cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation performed by conventional immersion ultrasound (US) or partial coherence interferometry (PCI). METHODS: Prospective, comparative case series. Patients undergoing cataract surgery were randomly divided in two groups with regard to the IOL power calculation method. Group 1 had calculations performed by PCI (IOL Master; Carl Zeiss Meditec), while US was used in Group 2 (Ultrascan; Alcon), using the Holladay 1 formula. Differences between target and achieved refractions were then compared. RESULTS: The study comprised 120 eyes from 79 patients. Biometry with PCI was used in 50 eyes of 33 patients, and US was used in 70 eyes of 46 patients. Mean age of patients in the PCI Group was 69.8 ± 13.1 years (range 11 - 85) and 70.0 ± 9.3 (45 - 86) in the US Group (P=0.7165). Mean axial length measured by PCI was 23.22 ± 1.00 mm (range 21.01 - 25.45) and that by US was 23.22 ± 1.06 mm (20.05 - 25.78) (P=0.9110). Mean absolute error in the PCI group was 0.15 ± 0.33 D (range -0.65 - 0.9) and that in the US group was 0.26 ± 0.48 D (-1.05 - 1.76). All eyes in the PCI group and 94.3 percent of those in the US group were within 1.00 D of the planned refraction. CONCLUSION: Although both PCI and US yielded good prediction in IOL power calculation, the PCI group tended to show better accuracy and improved refractive outcome.


OBJETIVO: Comparar os resultados refracionais obtidos em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de catarata com cálculo da lente intraocular realizado por meio de biometria ultrassônica de imersão (US) ou por interferometria de coerência parcial (ICP). MÉTODOS: Série de casos comparativa, prospectiva. Os pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de catarata foram aleatoriamente divididos em dois grupos em relação ao método de cálculo do poder da lente intraocular (LIO) a ser implantada. O grupo 1 teve seu cálculo efetuado por ICP (IOL Master; Carl Zeiss Meditec), enquanto o grupo 2 usou-se US (Ultrascan; Alcon). A fórmula Holladay 1 foi utilizada nos dois grupos. As diferenças entre os resultados refracionais planejados e obtidos foram então comparadas. RESULTADOS: O estudo contou com 120 olhos de 79 pacientes. Biometria por meio de ICP foi utilizada em 50 olhos de 33 pacientes e com US em 70 olhos de 46 pacientes. A idade média dos pacientes no grupo 1 foi de 69,8 ± 13,1 anos e de 70,0 ± 9,3 anos no grupo 2 (P=0,7165). O comprimento axial médio aferido pela ICP foi de 23,22 ± 1,00 mm (variando de 21,01 a 25,45 mm) e no grupo US foi de 23,22 ± 1,06 mm (variando de 20,05 a 25,78 mm) (P=0,9110). O erro absoluto médio (diferença entre o planejado e o obtido) no grupo 1 foi de 0,15 ± 0,33 D (variando de -0,65 a 0,9 D) e no grupo 2 de 0,26 ± 0,48 D (variando de -1,05 a 1,76 D). Todos os olhos do grupo 1 e 94,3 por cento dos olhos do grupo 2 obtiveram resultados refracionais de até 1,00 D de diferença do resultado refracional inicialmente planejado. CONCLUSÃO: Os dois métodos estudados mostraram boa previsibilidade refracional quando utilizados para o cálculo do poder da LIO. No entanto, o grupo que utilizou ICP mostrou uma tendência a melhor acurácia, com menos dispersão de resultados.

ABSTRACT

The protein profile of the outer membrane of Leptospira interrogans serovar Hardjo subtype hardjoprajitno associated with the bovine natural immune response was investigated. The outer membrane proteins were extracted utilizing Triton X114 and precipitated with acetone. The protein sample was then resolved by SDS-PAGE and reacted in western blot against sera from a hyperimmune rabbit and from naturally infected bovines. In silver stained gels, 14 protein bands were observed, among which four proteins, with 22, 29, 47 and 63kDa, appeared as major constituents. Western blot tests with hyperimmune rabbit antiserum detected bands corresponding to proteins with 35; 27; 24; 21; 17 and 14kDa, while 32kDa and 45kDa proteins were the most immunoreactive with sera from naturally infected bovines.


Estudou-se o perfil proteico da membrana externa da Leptospira interrogans sorovariedade Hardjo, amostra hardjoprajitno, associado à resposta imune natural de bovinos infectados. Foram utilizados Triton X114 para a extração das proteínas de membrana externa e acetona para precipitá-las. As proteínas extraídas foram analisadas por SDS-PAGE e western blot contra soro de coelhos hiperimunes e de bovinos naturalmente infectados. Em géis corados com nitrato de prata, 14 bandas proteicas foram identificadas, e quatro dessas bandas, com 22, 29, 47 e 63kDa, foram as mais proeminentes. Os western blots com soro hiperimune de coelho detectaram bandas correspondentes a proteínas com pesos moleculares de 35, 27, 24, 21, 17 e 14kDa, e bandas de 32 e 45kDa destacaram-se nos testes com soros de bovinos naturalmente infectados.
