ABSTRACT
Medir el empuje que transmite la voz materna es casi inconcebible, (Didier-Weill,1998) ya que la estructura de su discurso primordial incluye una paradoja. ¿De qué manera entonces medir un espacio de encuentro que está en construcción? Este estudio explora la distancia afectiva en la díada madre-bebé desde una perspectiva intersubjetiva, durante la emisión del fenómeno sonoro denominado "tono maternés". Como parte de los avances de la investigación en curso, se destaca el valor de la interdisciplina para la obtención de los datos y el modo en que su procesamiento conduce a una posible categorización de su objeto de estudio. La consulta a expertos (del campo de la fonoaudiología y la psicomotricidad) permitió abordar un "único cuerpo suficientemente complejo"(Bernardi,2000)y de este modo cercar la realidad compartida. Se acuerda con Winnicott (1989) en la idea de que, si distintos observadores llegan a conclusiones semejantes, probablemente signifique que se ocupan de cosas reales(AU)
Measuring the drive transmitted by the maternal voice is almost inconceivable (Didier-Weill 1998). This statement is based on the idea that the primordial discourse structure is paradoxical. How then, to measure a meeting space that is under construction. One of the objectives of this psychoanalytic thesisis to explore the affective distance present in the dyad, while she emits the sound phenomenon 'babytalk'. As part of the progress, the author presents some moments of the investigation. This paper highlights the value of interdisciplinary approach to obtain the data and presents a possible categorization of the affective distance present in the early relationship.To study the real movements for the psychical constitution, it was required the dialogue with experts (from the areas of phonology and psychomotricity) to border a shared reality and address a "single sufficiently complex body (Bernardi, 2000). In agreement with Winnicott (1989), if different observers arrive at a similar conclusion, it possibly implies that they are dealing with real things(AU)

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of the metabolic syndrome and obesity during the first year after the diagnosis of breast cancer in women undergoing interdisciplinary approach. Methods: In this prospective study, 81 women (age ≥45 years) with recent histological diagnosis of breast cancer, no established cardiovascular disease, who attended at a single specialized center with an interdisciplinary approach (medical, nutritionist, and psychological) were included. Results: Women with metabolic syndrome were considered to have three or more diagnostic criteria: waist circumference >88 cm, triglycerides ≥150 mg/dL, high-density lipoprotein <50 mg/dL, blood pressure ≥130/85 mmHg, and glucose ≥100 mg/dL. Obesity was considered when body mass index >30 kg/m2 and abdominal obesity with waist circumference >88 cm. The evaluations were carried out at three time points: first cancer visit (T0m), 6 months (T6m), and 12 months (T12m). For statistical analysis, the McNemar test was used to compare these time points and the chi-square test was used for trends. The mean age of the patients was 58.4±10.7 years, and 83.3% of them were in the postmenopausal stage. There were no differences in the metabolic syndrome, body mass index, and waist circumference assessments at the indicated time points. When comparing the individual quantitative criteria for metabolic syndrome, there was a statistically significant difference in the values of triglycerides and blood glucose. At times T0m, T6m, and T12m, an increase in the mean triglyceride values was observed, 121, 139.4, and 148.46 mg/dL (p=0.003) and a reduction in the mean glucose values, 106.6, 100.46, and 98.96 mg/dL (p=0.004), respectively. Conclusion: Women with breast cancer subjected to interdisciplinary evaluation did not show an increase in the occurrence of metabolic syndrome and obesity during the first year following their cancer diagnosis.
ABSTRACT
Resumo: É crescente a percepção de que uma formação médica com enfoque exclusivo nas disciplinas biológicas é insuficiente para a apreensão da complexidade e da singularidade do adoecimento humano. Partimos, assim, do pressuposto de que as humanidades médicas oferecem uma contribuição importante para a formação médica, por meio de referências para uma compreensão ampliada do processo saúde-doença e para a organização do cuidado em saúde, isto é, voltadas para a humanização. Este trabalho buscou conhecer as percepções de um grupo de discentes, docentes e coordenadores de curso médico sobre a integração das disciplinas de humanidades médicas nos currículos dos cursos de Medicina. A pesquisa de abordagem descritiva, quantitativa e de corte transversal consistiu na aplicação de um questionário estruturado a um grupo de participantes do 55º Congresso Brasileiro de Educação Médica (Cobem, Porto Alegre, RS, outubro de 2017), considerado assim uma amostra de conveniência. Os participantes do evento foram abordados nos intervalos das conferências e convidados a responder a um questionário que buscava opiniões sobre a inserção e a integração das disciplinas das Ciências Humanas nos currículos dos cursos de Medicina. O questionário continha ainda a caracterização da amostra quanto à região de origem, ao âmbito jurídico da instituição (privada, pública ou confessional) e ao papel do respondente (docente, discente ou coordenador/a). Foram obtidos 234 questionários, submetidos posteriormente à análise estatística descritiva. A análise evidenciou que as humanidades médicas são percebidas como importantes na formação, mas não há consenso sobre serem fundamentais na aquisição de habilidades humanísticas. As experiências interdisciplinares curriculares existem, porém nem todos percebem as temáticas de humanidades em diversos momentos no currículo médico ou articuladas a outras disciplinas. Enquanto as experiências interdisciplinares são percebidas com maior facilidade, a articulação transversal das temáticas humanísticas aparece em menor medida. De acordo com as respostas, as disciplinas permanecem concentradas apenas nos períodos iniciais, contudo a percepção de suficiência apresenta opiniões divididas. Também há discreta diferença na opinião sobre a articulação das humanidades nos ciclos básico e avançado. A menor percepção de integração das humanidades aparece nas práticas que integram ensino-serviço-comunidade.
Abstract: There is a growing perception that medical training with an exclusive focus on biological disciplines is insufficient for the understanding of the complexity and individuality of human illness. We start from the assumption that medical humanities make an important contribution to medical education, through references to expanded understanding of the health-disease process and to the organization of health care, that is, directed at humanization. This work sought to assess the perceptions of a group of students, teachers and coordinators of a medical course on the integration of the disciplines of medical humanities in the curricula of medical courses. The descriptive, quantitative and cross-sectional research consisted of the application of a structured questionnaire to a group of participants of the 55th Brazilian Congress of Medical Education (COBEM, Porto Alegre, RS, October/2017), considered to be a convenience sample. The event participants were approached during the intervals of the conferences and invited to answer a questionnaire that sought opinions on the insertion and the integration of the disciplines of the human sciences into the curricula of the medical courses. The questionnaire also contained the sample's characterization of the region of origin, the legal scope of the institution (private, public or confessional) and the role of the respondent (teacher, student or coordinator). A total of 234 (two hundred and thirty-four) individuals answered the questionnaires, which were submitted to descriptive statistical analysis. The analysis showed that the medical humanities are perceived as important for the medical formation, but there is no consensus about their being crucial for the acquisition of humanistic skills. There are interdisciplinary curricular experiences; however, not all of them perceive the subjects of humanities at different times in the medical curriculum or articulated with other disciplines. While interdisciplinary experiences are perceived more easily, the cross-sectional articulation of humanistic topics appears to a lesser degree. According to the answers, the disciplines remain concentrated only in the initial periods; however, the perception of sufficiency discloses quite divided opinions. There is also a slight difference in opinion about the articulation of the humanities in the basic and advanced cycles. The lower perception of integration of the humanities appears in practices that integrate teaching-service-community.
ABSTRACT
El presente trabajo desarrolla la problemática de un sujeto desde que conoce su enfermedad. ¿Cómo vivencia el diagnóstico el pronóstico y la terapia sugerida? ¿Cómo afecta esta situación al resto de los integrantes de la familia? ¿Cuál es el abordaje con pacientes crónicos y terminales? Además se hace incapié en la importancia de un tratamiento interdisciplinario. El rol del psicólogo frente a este tipo de pacientes consiste en sostener una postura ética que no haga foco solo en el diagnóstico orgánico, sino que tome en cuenta el sufrimiento de quien nos convoca, escuchando cuál es su deseo y su proyecto de vida más allá de la enfermedad. Se abordan los siguientes temas: la clínica con niños, el acompañamiento de docentes, clowns o payamédicos en la internación hospitalaria o domiciliaria: el lugar de la familia en este proceso, sus angustias y temores; los avances en la legislación sobre muerte digna; los cuidados paliativos. Algunas viñetas clínicas acompañan los aportes teóricos.
The present work develops the problem of a subject from the knowledge of his illness. How do you experience the diagnosis, prognosis and suggested therapy? How does this situation affect the rest of the family members? What is the approach with chronic and terminal patients? and the importance of an interdisciplinary treatment. The psychologist's role in dealing with this type of patients is to maintain an ethical stance that does not only remain with the organic diagnosis but also takes into account the suffering of the person who summons us, listening to what is his desire and his life project beyond the illness. The following topics are addressed: the clinic with children. The accompaniment of the teachers, clowns or payamédicos in the hospitalization or domiciliary hospitalization. The place of the family in this process, their anxieties and fears. Advances in legislation on dignified death. Palliative care. Some clinical vignettes accompany the theoretical contributions.

In recent years, cancer treatment methods have diversified, and there are increasing numbers of occasions where patients or their families are required to make increasingly complex decisions. Currently, there are no guidelines for determining the process and the individual who decides the treatment strategy for cancer patients who are unable to decide for themselves. Particularly, no report has been published on decision-making for end-of-life care in patients with intellectual disabilities. This report documents our involvement in decision-making during end-of-life care for a cancer patient with intellectual disabilities. This patient’s decision-making ability or lack thereof was determined using reliable and validated assessment scales. The collective decision to not resuscitate in case of cardiac arrest and to care for the patient in the palliative care unit was made through a multidisciplinary collaboration between the social welfare team and the hospital based on reports and guidelines from abroad. Going forward, guidelines for decision-making support for terminal ill cancer patients with intellectual disabilities and decision-making by proxies for such patients need to be established in Japan.
ABSTRACT
Radiotherapy is frequently employed as part of the multimodal treatment of cancers.Despite recent advances in ir-radiation techniques, radiation-induced side effects are more common.Radiation enteritis is a term traditionally used to define injury to the small intestine resulting from radiotherapy.The radiotherapy could induce damage of pelvic normal tissue.The most patients with radiation enteritits may also have co-existing radiation-induced damage of pelvic other tissue or organ.The radiation enteritis was man-aged, however, the therapy of pelvic damaged tissue or organ were ignored.Therefore, in 2015, we proposed the concept of radiation pelvicopathy which is most accurate description of the disease process and pathological characteristics.The purpose is to emphasize the interdisciplinary approach of pelvic radiation damage.
ABSTRACT
Patients who lost posterior teeth due to periodontitis or dental caries have collapsed vertical dimension, unstable occlusion and change of the mandibular position. In particular, patients in orthognathic surgery, clinician should re-establish the pre-operative stable position of mandibular condyle in articular fossa and favorable vertical dimension for high post-operative stability of mandible. Therefore, interdisciplinary approach and co-operation, including prosthetics, orthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgeon, from diagnosis and treatment plan is important to get a good outcome. This case report was patients who had collapsed occlusal plane due to severe dental caries on maxillary molars with skeletal Class III malocclusion. Before orthognathic surgery, resetting of maxillary occlusal plane with temporary removable denture was performed. Then successful multidisciplinary approach was done and lead to acceptable clinical outcome.

Introdução: Doenças crônicas não transmissíveis representam as principais morbidades da atualidade, dentre estas o diabetes mellitus (DM) tipo 2 e a depressão, as quais encontram-se frequentemente associadas. Ambas contribuem para complicações cardiovasculares e mortalidade. Há evidências de que intervenções comportamentais trazem benefícios cardiometabólicos e psicológicos. Objetivos: Para avaliar intervenção no estilo de vida, este estudo incluiu: 1) revisão sistemática e metanálise destinada a investigar os efeitos de intervenções no estilo de vida na melhora da depressão em indivíduos de risco ou com diabetes mellitus tipo 2; 2) comparação do efeito de duas intervenções no estilo de vida sobre o risco cardiometabólico e na retenção dos indivíduos ao programa; 3) análise do papel da depressão na resposta cardiometabólica às intervenções, mediada pela inflamação e; 4) avaliação do efeito residual 9 meses após término das intervenções quanto às respostas de variáveis clínicas, qualidade de vida (QV) e depressão. Métodos: Para revisão sistemática os principais bancos de dados bibliográficos foram pesquisados, sendo a meta-análise conduzida por modelos de efeito aleatório. O estudo longitudinal incluiu adultos pré-diabéticos, submetidos a 18 meses de intervenção tradicional (TRD) ou interdisciplinar com psicoeducação (INT) para mudanças em hábitos de vida, sendo os dados coletados (antropometria, pressão arterial, perfil bioquímico e marcadores de inflamação PCR, TNF-, adiponectina) no momento basal, 9 e 18 meses, bem como 9 meses após o término do acompanhamento (27 meses).
Introduction: Nowadays non-communicable chronic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus and depression, are major public health problems worldwide. These conditions are commonly associated and contribute to cardiovascular complications and mortality. Previous studies showed that motivational interviews may improve cardiometabolic and psychological aspects. Objectives: In order to assess lifestyle intervention this study includes: 1) Systematic review and meta-analysis to verify effect of lifestyle interventions on depression; 2) to compare effects of two lifestyle interventions in the cardiometabolic risk and in retention of at-risk individuals; 3) to analyze influence of depression in cardiometabolic response to interventions mediated by inflammation and, 4) to assess residual effect at 9 months after completion of interventions according to clinical variables, quality of life and depression. Methods: In the systematic review major bibliographic databases were searched. Meta-analysis was conducted by random-effects model. The effect of method, duration, and frequency of the interventions were determined via subgroup analyses. Our longitudinal study includes prediabetic adults, submitted to one of two lifestyle interventions (TRD:Traditional or INT:Interdisciplinary). Data were collected (anthropometry, blood pressure, biochemical profile and inflammation markers CRP, TNF-, adiponectin) at baseline, 9th and 18th month, as well as 9 months after completion of interventions (observational phase). Diet was evaluated by 24h recalls and physical activity by IPAQ.

A interconsulta psicológica no hospital geral representa uma modalidade de atendimento clínico e um instrumento metodológico utilizado pelo psicólogo na assistência ao paciente internado, mediante solicitação de outros profissionais da saúde. O estudo objetivou caracterizar a demanda da interconsulta psicológica em um hospital geral, a partir da análise dos registros de solicitação de atendimento. Cento e sete pacientes foram atendidos entre janeiro e junho de 2010, dos quais 53 por cento eram do sexo masculino e 57 por cento eram adultos acima de 45 anos. A maioria das solicitações foi realizada por médicos (44 por cento) e enfermeiros (38 por cento), formalmente (59 por cento), e mediante contato prévio entre interconsultor e solicitante (85 por cento). Os principais motivos alegados para a solicitação da interconsulta foram sintomas psicológicos relacionados ao adoecimento (43 por cento) e identificação de comprometimento na adaptação do paciente à hospitalização (41 por cento). O modelo de interconsulta psicológica adotado no contexto estudado foi adequado, havendo engajamento da equipe multiprofissional na efetivação da prática.
The consultation-liaison psychology in general hospitals represents a modality of clinical and a methodological tool used by psychologists in inpatient care, upon the request of other health professionals. The study aimed to characterize the psychological demands of the liaison in a general hospital, from the analysis of attendance records request. One hundred and seven patients were treated between January and June 2010, in which 53 percent of the participants were male and 57 percent of adults over 45 years. Most requests were performed by physicians (44 percent) and nurses (38 percent), formally (59 percent), and previous contact between interconsultor and the applicant (85 percent). The main reasons given for the request liaison were: psychological symptoms related to illness (43 percent) and identification of impairment in the patient's adaptation to hospitalization (41 percent). The psychological liaison model adopted was appropriate to the studied context, with engagement of the multidisciplinary team in the effectiveness of practice.

If orthodontists and restorative dentists establish the interdisciplinary approach to esthetic dentistry, the esthetic and functional outcome of their combined efforts will be greatly enhanced. This article describes satisfying esthetic results obtained by the distribution of space for restoration by orthodontic treatment and porcelain laminate veneers in uneven space between maxillary anterior teeth. It is proposed that the use of orthodontic treatment for re-distribution of the space and the use of porcelain laminate veneers to alter crown anatomy provide maximum esthetic and functional correction for patients with irregular interdental spacing.

Este artigo objetiva refletir sobre a incorporação da categoria gênero nos estudos acadêmicos em saúde coletiva, tendo por referência algumas das características da área, como a interdisciplinaridade, o compromisso com as demandas da sociedade, o diálogo com os trabalhadores de saúde e a sintonia com as políticas de saúde implementadas no país. Para tanto, foi realizado um levantamento dos artigos indexados na base SciELO que referem gênero e saúde como descritores, classificando-os quanto aos temas em foco, à abordagem metodológica, à população estudada e ao tipo de uso da categoria gênero. A análise dos resultados revela a heterogeneidade no uso da categoria na produção acadêmica selecionada, que, eventualmente, pode ser explicada pelas especificidades da área. Pretende-se, com este trabalho, fomentar a reflexão sobre maneiras de incrementar a abordagem de gênero nos estudos em saúde coletiva de modo a superar diferenças entre os campos de conhecimento.
This article aims to reflect how gender as a category has been incorporated into academic public health studies. The discussion is based on some characteristics of the public health area, such as: interdisciplinary approach, commitment to the demands of society; dialogue with health professionals and connection with health policies implemented in the country. With this in mind, a review of articles from the SciELO database was made referring to gender and health as descriptors. The articles were classified in terms of their focal theme, methods, groups studied and use of gender category. The results reveal some heterogeneity in the use of the category in the studies selected that eventually could be explained by the particularities of the area. Based on this discussion, this article intends to foster a reflection on the ways to improve a gender approach in public health studies so as to overcome the existing differences between knowledge accrued in various fields.

This paper addresses the topic of an interdisciplinary approach of chronic pain management from a biopsychosocial perspective. The first section provides an introduction to the definitions and theories of chronic pain and the various contributing factors (psychological, interpersonal/environmental and social support, and vocational). The second section presents the role of various health care professions (medical doctors, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists and rehabilitation counselors) and the evidence of their treatment effectiveness. The third section discusses the concept of an interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation program (IPRP) and its evidence to support its effectiveness. Finally, the clinical implications of rehabilitation counseling and psychology as part of the inter-disciplinary program in treating individuals with chronic pain will be highlighted.
