ABSTRACT

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the perception of the aesthetic result of breast reconstruction surgery from the perspective of plastic surgeons compared with physicians who are not specialists in plastic surgery. METHODS: Twenty patients who underwent breast reconstruction after mastectomy had their aesthetic results evaluated by 16 plastic surgeons and 16 nonplastic physicians, yielding a total of 620 ratings (320 ratings from plastic surgeons and 320 ratings from other specialists). For all analyses, the level of rejection adopted for the null hypothesis was 5% (p-value <0.05). RESULTS: Significant differences were observed between the two groups. On average, medical professionals who specialized in plastic surgery always obtained higher scores than other physicians. However, no significant differences were found in the assessment of the aesthetic outcome of breast reconstruction according to the sex of the rating medical professional for any of the assessments considered in this study. A strong positive linear correlation between the time since training in the medical specialty of plastic surgery (r=0.750, p=0.001) and the mean aesthetic outcome score was observed in this study. CONCLUSION: Plastic surgeons assessed the aesthetic results of breast reconstruction more positively than nonplastic physicians.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objectives: To assess the quality of life of patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) using immunobiological therapy and to relate the general and domain scores of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) to the immunobiological drug in use and the clinical and sociodemographic variables. Methods: This was a descriptive observational cross-sectional study, conducted from June to September 2018 in a tertiary hospital in Sergipe, which included 47 patients with a diagnosis of Crohn's disease. The IBDQ questionnaire was applied together with a sociodemographic questionnaire, and the clinical data and the history of the disease were analyzed. Results: Female, mixed-race, married patients from the countryside of the state of Sergipe, Brazil, who had never undergone any intestinal surgery, represented most of the study participants. 24 patients were on infliximab and 23 were on adalimumab. Variables such as gender, type of immunobiological drug and duration of its use, and association of therapy with other medications were shown to statistically significantly influence the report quality of life (p-value < 0.05). Conclusion: Further studies with larger samples are necessary to allow a more accurate delimitation of the impact of clinical and sociodemographic variables on the quality of life of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.


RESUMEN Objectivos: Avaliar a qualidade de vida de pacientes diagnosticados com doença inflamatória intestinal (DII) em uso de terapia imunobiológica e relacionar o escore geral e por domínios do "Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire" (IBDQ) com o imunobiológico em uso e as variáveis clínicas e sociodemográficas. Métodos: Estudo observacional descritivo analítico transversal, realizado no período de junho a setembro de 2018, em hospital terciário de Sergipe, que incluiu 47 pacientes com diagnóstico de Doença de Crohn. Foi aplicado o questionário IBDQ, associado a um questionário sociodemográfico e analisados os dados clínicos e da história da doença. Resultados: Pacientes do sexo feminino, pardos, casados, procedentes do interior de Sergipe e que nunca foram submetidos a nenhuma cirurgia intestinal representaram a maioria dos participantes do estudo. 24 pacientes estavam em uso de Infliximabe e 23 em uso de Adalimumabe. Variáveis como o gênero, tipo de imunobiológico e duração de seu uso e associação da terapêutica com outras medicações mostraram influenciar a qualidade de vida relatada, com significância estatística (p-valor < 0,05). Conclusão: Novos estudos com amostras maiores são necessários para que se possa permitir uma delimitação mais acurada do impacto de variáveis clínicas e sociodemográficas na qualidade de vida dos pacientes com doença inflamatória intestinal.

ABSTRACT

Anus neoplasm accounts for 2 to 4% of colorectal tumors, being more prevalent around the seventh and the eighth decades. Females are mostly affected, and the ratio is 3:1. Its increased prevalence amongst the population in the past years is probably related to the higher number of people that are affected by sexually transmitted diseases, mainly human papillomavirus (types 16 and 18, mostly) and/or the human immunodeficiency virus. Diagnosis is based on clinical findings and anatomopathological tests. The treatment of choice is radiochemotherapy, and the rescue surgery with abdominoperineal resection is used for recurrence and persistence cases. A retrospective and prospective longitudinal observational study was performed with 11 patients diagnosed with anal neoplasm from 2004 to 2010. Six (54.5%) were females and five (45.5%) were males. The incidence was higher in the sixth decade, at the mean age of 54.45 years. The most frequent histological type observed was the epidermoid carcinoma, and the most frequent cell differentiation type was the moderately differentiated. Chemotharapy associated with radiotherapy was used in 81.9% of the patients, and abdominoperineal resection was necessary as a rescue surgery in 18.2% of the patients. (AU)


Neoplasias do ânus correspondem de 2 a 4% dos tumores de intestino grosso, sendo predominante nas sétima e oitava décadas. A maior prevalência é em gênero feminino, com proporção de 3:1. O aumento da prevalência na população nos últimos anos provavelmente está relacionado ao número maior de pessoas com doenças sexualmente transmissíveis, principalmente o papilomavírus humano (tipos 16 e 18, mais comumente) e/ou o vírus da imunodeficiência humana. O diagnóstico é feito a partir de achados clínicos somados ao exame anatomopatológico. O tratamento de escolha baseia-se na radioquimioterapia, sendo a cirurgia de resgate com amputação abdominoperineal utilizada para casos de recidiva ou persistência. Foi feito um estudo observacional longitudinal retrospectivo e prospectivo, com 11 pacientes diagnosticados com neoplasia anal no período de 2004 a 2010. Seis (54,5%) eram do gênero feminino e 5 (45,5%) do masculino. O pico de incidência foi em sexta década, com média de idade de 54,45 anos. O tipo histológico mais encontrado foi o carcinoma epidermoide (72,7%), sendo o moderadamente diferenciado o mais frequente grau de diferenciação. A quimioterapia associada à radioterapia foi instituída em 81,9% dos pacientes, sendo necessária a cirurgia de amputação abdominoperineal como terapia de resgate em 18,2% dos pacientes. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Radiotherapy is an important discovery as to the treatment of pelvic tumors. Proctitis is frequently observed nowadays, and can be divided into acute and chronic. Treatment with 4% formalin solutions has been used with positive results in literature. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and morbidity rates related to the use of 4%formalin in hemorrhagic chronic actinic proctitis. Methods: We evaluated the sigmoidoscopy records and reports of 11 patients with chronic hemorrhagic actinic proctitis from February to December 2010, coming from the Serbian colorectal University Hospital of the State of Sergipe. Results: The study was comprised of 11 patients (36.36% were females and 63.63% were males). Mean age was 67.7 years. Mean time between the end of radiotherapy and the onset of symptoms was 6.6 months. The treatment was completely effective in 27.27% of the cases, and reduced rectal bleeding in 100% of patients. The following main complications were observed: chills (9%), tenesmus (18.18%) and mild stenosis (9%). Conclusions: The 4%formalin solution has fewer side effects, and its administration is very inexpensive. The treatment is effective and reduces bleeding in almost 100% of cases. (AU)

ABSTRACT

A doença inflamatória intestinal idiopática (DII) representa um grupo de condições inflamatórias crônicas, resultantes de ativação persistente e inadequada do sistema imune mucoso. Além dos sintomas intestinais característicos, as DII podem se manifestar através de uma série de manifestações extraintestinais (MEI). Objetivos: Avaliar a incidência das MEI das doenças inflamatórias intestinais no Hospital Universitário da Universidade Federal de Sergipe; diagnosticar as MEI das DII; instituir o tratamento adequado dos pacientes portadores dessas manifestações. Métodos: Foi aplicado um protocolo para diagnóstico das MEI; quando necessário os pacientes foram encaminhados para as respectivas especialidades. Resultados: Foram catalogados 49 pacientes portadores de DII; destes, 41 (83,6 por cento) apresentaram MEI. As MEI reumatológicas foram as mais frequentes, acometendo 35 pacientes. O restante das MEI foram assim distribuídas: um caso de MEI dermatológica; um caso de MEI urológica; um caso MEI pneumológica; quatro casos de MEI oftalmológicas; oito casos de MEI hepáticas. Conclusões: As MEI têm alta incidência (I=83,6 por cento) entre os pacientes portadores de DII; as MEI tiveram incidência semelhante entre os pacientes portadores de retocolite ulceratica idiopática e de Crohn; o início das MEI foi mais comum após o diagnóstico da DII; a classe de MEI mais prevalente foi a reumatológica (P=71,4 por cento).


Idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) represents a group of chronic inflammatory conditions, resulting from persistent and inappropriate activation of mucosal immune system. Besides the typical intestinal symptoms, the IBD can manifest itself through a series of extraintestinal manifestations (EIM). Objectives: To evaluate the incidence of EIM in the Hospital Universitario of Universidade Federal de Sergipe; to diagnose EIM of IBD; to institute the appropriate treatment of patients with these manifestations. Methods: We applied a protocol for diagnosis of EIM; when necessary, patients were referred to their specialities. Results: We categorized 49 patients with IBD, whose 41 (83.6 percent) had EIM. The rheumatologics EIM were the most frequent, affecting 35 patients. The others EIM were distributed as follows: one case of dermatological EIM; one case of urologic EIM, one case of pulmonology EIM, four cases of ophthalmic EIM; eight cases of hepatic EIM. Conclusions: The EIM have a high incidence (I=83.6 percent) among patients with IBD; the EIM had similar incidence among patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. The beginning of EIM was more common after the diagnosis of IBD; the rheumatologic EIM was most prevalent (P=71.4 percent).

ABSTRACT

A ligadura elástica (LE) é considerada um método minimamente invasivo para o tratamento da doença hemorroidária (DH) e apresenta vantagens em relação à hemorroidectomia, como: simplicidade de execução e realização ambulatorial sem o emprego de anestesia. Trata-se de um método eficaz, principalmente nos portadores de DH grau II. Porém, apresenta complicações, sendo as mais frequentes: dor, tenesmo, hematoquezia e retenção urinária. Alguns trabalhos mostram complicações mais graves, como sangramentos vultosos que necessitaram de hemotransfusão. Assim, este trabalho avaliou a eficácia e a morbidade do tratamento da DH pelo método da LE. Foi um estudo prospectivo, com 59 pacientes. Destes, cinco (8,5 por cento) eram portadores de DH grau I, 33 (55,9 por cento) de DH grau II e 21 (35,6 por cento) de DH grau III. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos pelo menos a duas sessões. Nas 135 sessões realizadas, encontramos: hematoquezia em 62 (45,9 por cento), dor intensa em 39 (28,9 por cento), sintomas vagais em 10 (7,4 por cento) e pseudoestrangulamento em um (0,7 por cento) sessão. A taxa de cura do prolapso hemorroidário entre os portadores de DH grau II foi de 87,9 por cento e entre aqueles com DH grau III, de 76,2 por cento. O tratamento da DH pelo método da ligadura elástica mostrou-se seguro e com boa taxa de cura.


Rubber band ligation (RB) is considered a minimally invasive method for the treatment of hemorrhoidal disease (HD) and has advantages in relation to hemorrhoidectomy whereby: simplicity of execution, outpatient realization and no need of anesthesia. It is an effective method, especially in the HD grade II. However, shows complications, and the most frequents are: anal pain, tenesmus, hematochezia and urinary retention. Some studies have shown severe complications as major bleeding that needs blood transfusion. Thus, this study evaluated the effectiveness and the morbidity of the treatment of HD by the method of RB. It was a prospective study with 59 patients. Five (8,5 percent) patients had HD graded in the first degree, 33 (55,9 percent) in the second degree and 21 (35,6 percent) in the third. All patients were submitted to at least two sessions. In the 135 sessions performed, we found: hematochezia in 62 (45.9 percent), severe pain in 39 (28.9 percent), vagal symptoms in 10 (7.4 percent) and pseudostrangulation in 1 (0.7 percent) session. The cure rate of hemorrhoidal prolapse among patients with HD grade II was 87.9 percent and among those with HD grade III, 76.2 percent. The treatment of HD by the method of RB proved to be safe and with good cure rate.
