Análisis de los tratamientos en pacientes diagnosticados con polimiositis

Introducción: La polimiositis, la frase "conocida como miopatía idiopática inflamatoria", es una enfermedad poco frecuente, considerada rara y heterogénea, que se caracteriza por la debilidad muscular, por lo que puede dificultar la movilidad cotidiana Objetivo: Analizar los tratamientos farmacológicos y no farmacológicos en pacientes diagnosticados con polimiositis. Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica donde se siguió la recomendación PRISMA. Las fuentes de información consultadas fueron: SciELO, LILACS, PubMed, Elsevier, EBSCO, Medline, Google Académico, en el período de 2018 a 2022. Resultados: Se consultaron un total de 14 268 artículos correspondientes a la búsqueda bibliográfica, de ellos 42 artículos cumplieron con los criterios de selección. Se utilizó el método PRISMA según su recomendación, quedaron un total de cuatro artículos científicos originales de las cuales tres describen tratamientos farmacológicos, que mencionan a los corticoides y a los inmunosupresores; sin embargo, en aquellos pacientes que no responden al tratamiento se le recomienda la intervención clínica con inmunoglobulina G (IgG), que proporciona anticuerpos como moléculas monoméricas policlonales, que son bien tolerada. Por otro lado, dos artículos describen como tratamiento no farmacológico a la rehabilitación física con el objetivo de evitar el deterioro muscular. Conclusiones: El tratamiento en los pacientes diagnosticados con polimiositis debe ser individualizado, a partir de la gravedad de dicho padecimiento. A Una mayor afectación del cuerpo del paciente a nivel muscular, menor será la respuesta al tratamiento. Es importante la rehabilitación física y el uso de fármacos para controlar y aliviar la polimiositis.

Introduction: Polymyositis known as idiopathic inflammatory myopathy is a rare disease. It is heterogeneous disease, characterized by symmetrical muscle weakness, which can make daily mobility difficult. Objective: To analyze pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments in patients diagnosed with polymyositis. Methods: A bibliographic search was carried out following PRISMA recommendation. The information sources consulted were SciELO, LILACS, PubMed, Elsevier, EBSCO, Medline, Google Scholar from 2018 to 2022. Results: 14,268 articles corresponding to the bibliographic search were consulted, only 42 met the selection criteria. PRISMA method was used according to its recommendation. Four original scientific articles remained, three of them describe pharmacological treatments mentioning corticosteroids and immunosuppressants. However, in those patients who do not respond to treatment, clinical intervention with immunoglobulin G (IgG) is recommended, which provides antibodies as polyclonal monomeric molecules, which are well tolerated. On the other hand, two articles describe physical rehabilitation as a non-pharmacological treatment with the aim of avoiding muscle deterioration. Conclusions: Treatment in patients diagnosed with polymyositis should be individualized, based on the severity of the condition. A greater involvement of the patient's body at the muscular level, the lower the response to treatment. Physical rehabilitation and the use of drugs is important to control and relieve polymyositis.

Entre o medo e a esperança: um estudo sobre os usos e sentidos do treinamento cerebral no Brasil / Between fear and hope: a study on the uses and meanings of brain training in Brazil

O presente trabalho tem como objeto de análise os usos e sentidos das práticas de treinamento cerebral na realidade brasileira. Este tipo de treinamento, também chamado de treinamento cognitivo e ginástica cerebral, diz respeito à prática guiada de determinados exercícios e jogos com o objetivo de preservar ou melhorar as habilidades cognitivas e/ou a cognição como um todo. O objetivo central deste trabalho é mapear e analisar os sentidos atribuídos pelas empresas de treinamento cerebral e seus clientes às próprias atividades de treinamento cerebral. Para atingir tal objetivo realizamos a análise de conteúdo de dois conjuntos de dados: a) informações textuais dos sites oficiais das três franquias de treinamento cerebral existentes no Brasil (Supera, Super Cérebro e Ginástica do Cérebro) assim como das principais plataformas virtuais brasileiras (Supera Online, NeuroForma, Afinando o Cérebro e Mente Turbinada); b) transcrições de entrevistas semiestruturadas com dez clientes destas empresas, com idades entre 22 e 87 anos, e que praticavam regulamente tais atividades. Após analisarmos o conteúdo dos sites e das entrevistas pudemos observar que os sentidos do treinamento cerebral se relacionam, para os clientes, a uma série de medos e esperanças ­ e também à busca por diversão e sociabilidade. Dentre os medos destaca-se aquele relacionado à possibilidade de desenvolver a doença de Alzheimer ou algum outro quadro demencial que prejudique suas funções cognitivas e os levem a perder a autonomia e se tornarem dependentes de outras pessoas. Por outro lado, a busca por atividades de treinamento cerebral se relaciona também à esperança de reverter ou interromper o "declínio cognitivo" e de evitar, assim, o desenvolvimento de uma demência. As empresas, por sua vez, fomentam em seus clientes e potenciais clientes, através dos seus sites publicitários, diferentes formas de esperança, em especial a esperança de um futuro com capacidade cognitiva nas diversas etapas da vida. É possível dizer que o que há em comum entre aquilo que é vendido pelas empresas e aquilo que é comprado por seus clientes é a esperança. Apontamos, por fim, para as técnicas de treinamento cerebral como tecnologias da esperança, devido ao fato de serem utilizadas pelas empresas do ramo para fomentarem em seus clientes e potenciais clientes a crença de que é possível agir no presente de forma a preservar e aprimorar as habilidades cognitivas, a prevenir doenças como o Alzheimer e a prolongar o tempo de vida com saúde, autonomia e independência... (AU)

The main goal of the present doctoral thesis is to analyze the uses and meanings of the practices of cerebral training in Brazil. This type of training, also known as cognitive training and cerebral gymnastics, is related to the guided practice of specific exercises and games to preserve or improve cognitive skills and/or cognition in general. The main objective of this work is to map and analyze the definitions attributed to cerebral training companies and their clients to their brain training activities. To achieve this goal, we analyzed two groups of data: a) textual information available on the official websites of three Brazilian franchises focused on brain training (Super, Super Cérebro e Ginástica do Cérebro), as well the leading Brazilian virtual platforms (Supera Online, NeuroForma, Afinando o Cérebro e Mente Turbinada); b) transcriptions of semi-structured interviews with ten regular consumers of these companies, ages from 22 to 87 years. After analyzing the contents available on the websites and interviews, we could observe that the aims of brain training are connected. Besides the search for fun and sociability on the client's side, there are a series of fears and hopes. Among fears, we could stand out as the ones connected to the possibility of developing a future Alzheimer's disease or any other type of dementia state that could harm their cognitive functions and, consequently, lead them to lose their autonomy and become dependent on others. On the other hand, the search for brain gymnastic activities is related to the hope to revert or interrupt the "cognitive decline" and avoid the development of dementia. However, on their side, the companies encourage their clients and potential clients, through their advertising websites, different ways to trigger their hopes, especially the hope of a future when they develop cognitive capacities in different parts of their lives. We could claim that what connects the message released and these types of products, bought and sold, is hope. We finally point out that the techniques of brain training are technologies of hope since the companies of the field use them to foment their clients and potential clients the belief that it is possible to achieve, in the present, some preservation and improvement of cognitive skills, to prevent some diseases as Alzheimer and to lengthen their life expectancy healthily, enjoying autonomy and independence...(AU)

Non-pharmacological Interventions for Improving Sleep Quality During Pregnancy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis / Intervenções não-farmacológicas para melhoria da qualidade do sono durante a gravidez: Uma revisão sistemática e metanálise

Abstract Objective To investigate the effect of non-pharmacological interventions to improve sleep quality during pregnancy. Data sources A search was made in the NCBI/PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, Embase, BVS, and Web of Science databases. There were no limitations regarding language, sample size, and type of non-pharmacological intervention. We have included prospective clinical trials between July 2014 and July 2019. Selection of studies This study was registered in the Prospective International Registration of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) database was performed. Publication bias was also assessed with funnel plots. the primary outcome was the total score in the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) before and after intervention. Risk of bias and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) criteria were used for assessing methodological quality. From the 28 retrieved studies, we have selected 8 for qualitative analysis and 6 for meta-analysis. Data collection Two independent reviewers performed the study selection. In the case of disagreement, a third senior reviewer was consulted. The study was initially assessed based on the title, followed by abstract. Lastly, the full text was assessed to be included. Data Synthesis A significant improvement on the sleep quality (PSQI score) was observed when all interventions were grouped (MD = -3.03, 95%CI -4.15 to -1.92, n= 623, i2= 84%, p< 0.001). Analysis by subgroup (music listening: MD = -1.96, 95% CI -3.27 to -0.65, n= 207, i2= 67%, p= 0.003 and other interventions: MD = -3.66, 95% CI -4.93 to -2.40, n= 416, i2 = 80%, p< 0.001) showed an improvement, with high heterogeneity. Risk of bias has shown performance and detection bias for almost studies, and GRADE evidence was very low for all analyzed variables. Conclusion Non-pharmacological interventions—listening to music, physical exercise, relaxation exercises, lettuce seed, sleep hygiene, and acupressure—are effective for improving sleep quality during pregnancy.

Resumo Objetivo Investigar o efeito de intervenções não-farmacológicas para melhorar a qualidade do sono durante a gravidez. Fontes dos dados Uma busca foi feita nas bases de dados NBCI/PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, Embase, BVS, e Web of Science. Não houve limitações quanto ao idioma, tamanho da amostra e tipo de intervenção não-farmacológica. Incluímos estudos clínicos prospectivos entre julho de 2014 e julho de 2019. Seleção dos estudos Foi realizado um registro no banco de dados Prospective International Registration of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). O viés de publicação foi avaliado com gráficos de funil. O desfecho primário foi a pontuação total do Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) antes e depois da intervenção. O risco de viés e os critérios Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) foram usados para avaliar a qualidade metodológica. Dos 28 estudos encontrados, selecionamos 8 para análise qualitativa e 6 para a metanálise. Coleta de dados Dois revisores independentes realizaram a seleção dos estudos. Em caso de discordância, um terceiro revisor foi consultado. Inicialmente o estudo foi avaliado com base no título e resumo. Para a inclusão, foi avaliado o texto completo. Síntese dos dados Uma melhora significativa na qualidade do sono (PSQI score) foi observada quando todas as intervenções foram agrupadas (MD = -3.03, 95% CI -4.15 a -1.92, n= 623, i2= 84%, p< 0.001). A análise por subgrupo (escutar música: MD = -1.96, 95% CI -3.27 a -0.65, n= 207, i2= 67%, p= 0.003 e outras intervenções: MD = -3.66, 95% CI -4.93 a -2.40, n= 416, i2 = 80%, p< 0.001) também mostrou uma melhora da qualidade do sono, porém com alta heterogeneidade. A análise do risco de viés mostrou que quase todos os estudos avaliados apresentaram viés de desempenho e detecção, e o nível de evidência GRADE foi muito baixo para todas as variáveis analisadas. Conclusão Intervenções não-farmacológicas - ouvir música, exercícios físicos, exercícios de relaxamento, sementes de alface, higiene do sono e acupressão - são eficazes para melhorar a qualidade do sono durante a gravidez.
