ABSTRACT
OBJETIVO: Este estudo tem como objetivo descrever o perfil epidemiológico de pacientes vítimas de queimaduras da face em um unidade de referência em atendimento em queimaduras. MÉTODO: O trabalho consiste no estudo de dados observacional, descritivo, retrospectivo, de uma população de 92 pacientes vítimas de queimaduras na região da face, internados em hospital de referência em atendimento a pacientes vítimas de queimaduras, no período de 2 anos, entre julho de 2015 e junho de 2017. Foram analisados dados como: idade, sexo, agente etiológico, áreas de superfície corporal queimada, profundidade da queimadura, regiões do corpo acometidas pela queimadura, óbito, queimaduras de vias inalatórias, tempo de internação em unidade de terapia intensiva de queimados e tempo de internação hospitalar. Os dados foram tabulados e descritos no texto. RESULTADOS: Dos 92 pacientes atendidos, a maioria (61,95%) foi do sexo masculino, havendo quatro óbitos, dos quais três apresentavam lesão inalatória, com período de maior prevalência no outono. Tempo de internação médio foi de 20,5 dias, sendo o agente mais comum o álcool, atingindo, em média, 13%, a maioria com queimadura profunda. CONCLUSÃO: Os pacientes vítimas de queimaduras em face são em sua maioria do sexo masculino, com agente etiológico álcool, com média de queimadura profunda de 13%, estando o óbito relacionado com associação de lesão de vias aéreas. Ações de prevenção podem ajudar a diminuir a incidência de acidentes na população observada.
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to describe the epidemiological profile of patients victims of facial burns in a referral unit in care for burns. METHODS: The work consists of the study of observational, descriptive, retrospective data from a population of 92 patients suffering from burns in the face region, admitted to a reference hospital in care of burn victims, in a period of 2 years, between July 2015 and June 2017. Data such as: age, sex, etiological agent, burnt body surface areas, burn depth, body regions affected by the burn, death, inhaled tract burns, length of stay in the therapy unit were analyzed intensive care unit for burns and length of hospital stay. Data were tabulated and described in the text. RESULTS: Of the 92 patients, the majority (61.95%) were male, with four deaths, three of which had inhalation injury, with a period of greatest prevalence in autumn. Average hospital stay was 20.5 days, the most common agent being alcohol, reaching an average of 13%, with the majority with deep burns. CONCLUSION: Patients suffering from facial burns are mostly male, with alcohol as the etiologic agent, with an average deep burn of 13%, and death is related to an association with airway injury. Prevention actions can help to reduce the incidence of accidents in the observed population.

ABSTRACT: CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Rhinoplasty is one of the most sought-after esthetic operations among individuals with body dysmorphic disorder. The aim of this study was to cross-culturally adapt and validate the Body Dysmorphic Symptoms Scale. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-cultural validation study conducted in a plastic surgery outpatient clinic of a public university hospital. METHODS: Between February 2014 and March 2015, 80 consecutive patients of both sexes seeking rhinoplasty were selected. Thirty of them participated in the phase of cultural adaptation of the instrument. Reproducibility was tested on 20 patients and construct validity was assessed on 50 patients, with correlation against the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale for Body Dysmorphic Disorder. RESULTS: The Brazilian version of the instrument showed Cronbach's alpha of 0.805 and excellent inter-rater reproducibility (intraclass correlation coefficient, ICC = 0.873; P < 0.001) and intra-rater reproducibility (ICC = 0.939; P < 0.001). Significant differences in total scores were found between patients with and without symptoms (P < 0.001). A strong correlation (r = 0.841; P < 0.001) was observed between the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale for Body Dysmorphic Disorder and the Body Dysmorphic Symptoms Scale. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.981, thus showing good accuracy for discriminating between presence and absence of symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder. Forty-six percent of the patients had body dysmorphic symptoms and 54% had moderate to severe appearance-related obsessive-compulsive symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: The Brazilian version of the Body Dysmorphic Symptoms Scale is a reproducible instrument that presents face, content and construct validity.
RESUMO CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO: Rinoplastia é uma das operações mais procuradas por indivíduos com o transtorno dismórfico corporal. O objetivo deste estudo foi adaptar culturalmente e validar a Body Dysmorphic Symptoms Scale. DESENHO E LOCAL: Estudo de validação cultural desenvolvido no ambulatório de cirurgia plástica de um hospital universitário público. MÉTODOS: Oitenta pacientes consecutivos de ambos os gêneros que desejavam submeter-se à rinoplastia foram selecionados entre fevereiro de 2014 e março de 2015. Trinta pacientes participaram da fase de adaptação cultural do instrumento. A reprodutibilidade foi testada em 20 pacientes e a validade de construto em 50 pacientes, correlacionando-se a escala com a Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale para transtorno dismórfico corporal. RESULTADOS: A versão brasileira do instrumento mostrou alfa de Cronbach de 0,805 e excelente reprodutibilidade interobservador (coeficiente de correlação intraclasse, CCI = 0,873; P < 0,001) e intraobservador (CCI = 0,939; P < 0,001). Houve diferença significante entre os escores totais de pacientes com e sem sintomas (P < 0,001). Observou-se forte correlação (r = 0,841; P < 0,001) entre a Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale para transtorno dismórfico corporal e a Body Dysmorphic Symptoms Scale. A área sob a curva característica de operação do receptor (ROC) foi de 0,981, revelando boa acurácia para discriminar a presença de sintomas para transtorno dismórfico corporal; 46% dos pacientes apresentaram sintomas do transtorno dismórfico corporal e 54% dos pacientes apresentaram sintomas obsessivo-compulsivos moderados a graves relacionados com a aparência. CONCLUSÃO: A versão brasileira da Body Dysmorphic Symptoms Scale é um instrumento reprodutível que apresenta validade de face, conteúdo e construto.

PURPOSE: This study is a systematic literature review and meta-analysis concerning the use of a testosterone synthetic analog, oxandrolone, and its use in severe adult burns. METHODS: Randomized prospective clinical studies, in English, Portuguese or Spanish, were sought on the following databases: MEDLINE, COCHRANE, EMBASE and LILACS. There was no restriction in relation to the publication date. RESULTS: This search produced 24 studies on MEDLINE and twelve articles were presented on the COCHRANE database .Sixteen were excluded due to the title not being related to this search or by including children. Of the eigth residual studies, after adaptation to the inclusion criteria, only four were selected. After analyzing the results, two were discarded since they did not present adequate patient characterization and the facts on these articles were analyzed differently from the others, hindering the meta-analysis. CONCLUSION: The analysis of the available data demonstrated significant benefits (p<0.05) considering lesser loss of corporal mass, lesser nitrogen loss, and shorter donor area healing time, when Oxandrolone was used, comparatively with the control group (placebo or not). .
