ABSTRACT

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate neck circumference (NC) as a discriminator of overweight and obesity and to establish cut-off points for physically active older women. The sample consisted of 170 older women (69.5 ± 6.8 years) practicing physical activity. Anthropometric measures (body weight, height, waist circumference - WC, and NC) were obtained and the body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Correlation analysis was performed and ROC curves were constructed. NC was significantly correlated with BMI (rho = 0.656; p<0.0001) and WC (r = 0.561; p<0.0001). Correlating BMI with NC, areas under the ROC curve of 0.819 (p=0.0001) for overweight and of 0.902 (p=0.0001) for obesity were obtained, with suggested cut-off points of 33.07 and 34.05 cm, respectively. Correlating WC with NC, areas under the ROC curve of 0.711 (p=0.0014) for moderate risk (WC) and of 0.864 (p=0.0001) for high risk were obtained, with suggested cut-off points of 32.15 and 34.15 cm, respectively. NC was associated with BMI and WC. An NC ≥ 34 cm was a risk factor for obesity and abnormal body fat distribution in the older women studied. This anthropometric parameter is an alternative to discriminate overweight and obesity in physically active older women.


Resumo Objetivou-se analisar o perímetro de pescoço (PPescoço) como um método discriminador de sobrepeso e obesidade e estabelecer pontos de corte para idosas praticantes de atividade física. A amostra foi composta por 170 idosas (69,5 ± 6,8 anos) praticantes de atividade física. Foram realizadas medidas antropométricas de massa corporal, estatura, perímetro de cintura (PCintura) e do pescoço (PPescoço). Também foi calculado o índice de massa corporal (IMC) erealizada a estatística correlacional e curvas ROC. O PPescoço correlacionou significativamente com o IMC (rho = 0,656; p<0,0001) e com o PCintura (r = 0,561; p<0,0001). Ao relacionar IMC com PPescoço, obteve-se valores para área da curva ROC de 0,819 (p=0,0001) para sobrepeso e 0,902 (p=0,0001) para obesidade, além de pontos de corte sugeridos de 33,07 cm e 34,05 cm, respectivamente. Ao relacionar PCintura com o PPEscoço, obteve-se valores para área curva ROC de 0,711 (p=0,0014) para risco moderado (PCintura) e 0,864 (p=0,0001) para alto risco, além de pontos de corte sugeridos de 32,15 cm e 34,15, respectivamente. O PPescoçoapresentou relação com o IMC e o PCintura. O PPescoço ≥34cm apresentou-se ser o valor de risco para obesidade e distribuição de composição corporal em idosas deste estudo. Essa medida antropométrica é uma alternativa para discriminar o sobrepeso e obesidade de idosas praticantes de atividade física.

ABSTRACT

Esta entrevista a Pascale Molinier se realizó en Buenos Aires, en octubre del 2014, en el contexto de las actividades organizadas por el Programa de Salud y Trabajo del Departamento de Salud Comunitaria de la Universidad Nacional de Lanús, Argentina. La entrevista aborda la relación entre trabajo y subjetivación, examinando el rol del trabajo tanto en la estructuración psíquica, como en la dinámica placer-sufrimiento y en la construcción de las identidades de género. Se examina el trabajo del cuidado "feminizado" -enfermeras, cuidadoras, mucamas, etc.- desde la perspectiva del "care", analizando su invisibilidad intrínseca y la imposibilidad de ser cuantificado y medido, lo que constituye un importante desafío para las lógicas de gestión y de management.


This interview with Pascale Molinier was carried out in Buenos Aires in October 2014, in the context of activities organized by the Health and Work Program at the Department of Community Health of the Universidad Nacional de Lanús, Argentina. The interview explores the relationship between work and subjectivation, examining the role of work in the structuring of the psyche, in the dynamics of pleasure and suffering, and in the construction of gender identities. "Feminized" work - that of nurses, caregivers and maids, among others - is examined from a "care" perspective, analyzing its intrinsic invisibility and impossibility of being quantified and measured, which makes it a challenge to management-based logic.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El examen físico no ha demostrado una predicción diagnóstica significativa en la apnea obstructiva del sueño (AOS). Aunque la polisomnografía es el estándar de oro, sus costos y disponibilidad la hacen difícil de realizar en algunos casos; así, es importante encontrar otras herramientas que brinden una aproximación referente a la severidad de la AOS. Objetivo: Establecer la relación entre la circunferencia del cuello y los parámetros polisomnográficos. Métodos: Estudio longitudinal, prolectivo, observacional, analítico en una cohorte prospectiva. Se reclutaron pacientes con sospecha de AOS en la consulta de Otorrinolaringología; se les practicó polisomnografía y medición de la circunferencia del cuello (CC). Se realizó prueba T para muestras independientes y parámetros descriptivos en el análisis estadístico. Resultados: Se evaluaron 141 pacientes, 95 hombres (67%); CC, 30-59 cm; saturación mínima de oxígeno, 35-91%; saturación promedio con rango de 65-96%; índice de apnea-hipopnea, 0,6-173 eventos/hora. Se encontraron diferencias significativas, p < 0,05, entre los parámetros medidos en los pacientes con circunferencia del cuello mayor de 43 cm. Conclusión: La CC mayor de 43 cm se asocia con peores resultados en los parámetros polisomnográficos, lo cual indica la asociación de la CC con la severidad de la AOS...


Introduction: Physical assessment hasn’t shown a very strong predictive severity diagnostic value in the obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Polysomnography is the gold standard diagnostic tool, but it is expensive and difficult to get it in some cases. Therefore it is important to find other diagnostic studies that may give us an approximation to the severity of OSA. Objective: To establish the relationship between neck circumference and polysomnography parameters. Methods: This was a longitudinal - observational and analytic study in a population-based prospective and prolective cohort. We collected the patients with suspicion of OSA, in the Otolaryngology clinics; they were assessed with the neck circumference measure and diagnostic Polysomnography. We determined the Independent samples T- Test, and the descriptive parameters in the statistical analysis. Results: We evaluated 141 patients, 95 males (67,4%), neck circumference (NC) range: 30 – 59 cm; minimal oxygen saturation range: 35– 91% with a mean of 72%; mean oxygen saturation range: 65 – 96% with a mean of 88,9%; apnea hipopnea index (AHI) range: 0,6 – 173 events/hour with a mean 52,6 events/hour. There is a statistical significance p value lesser than 0,05 between the NC greater than 43 cm and NC lesser than 43 cm group, in these parameters: minimal saturation, mean saturation and AHI. Conclusion: The NC greater than 43 cm was associated with the worse results in the following polysomnography parameters: minimal saturation, mean saturation and AHI. These findings may give us an association between NC and the severity of the OSA...

ABSTRACT

El presente trabajo sobre la rotación entre la columna cervical y la cabeza en el ser humano tiene como objetivo estandarizar los grados de rotación cérvico capital, tanto a la derecha como a la izquierda, en una muestra aleatoria obtenida de individuos de ambos géneros en el Departamento de Caldas (Colombia), estratificados de acuerdo a su ciclo vital a partir de los tres años de edad y que no presentaban ninguna alteración en los movimientos propios de la región antes mencionada. Mediante tablas estadísticas se muestran los resultados experimentales obtenidos y se comparan con los valores reportados en la literatura. Se observa, además, que los valores obtenidos están dentro del rango establecido en la literatura, sin embargo, los datos aquí referidos son mucho más específicos porque incluyen comparaciones entre los rangos de edad y el género, datos que no se contemplan en los textos consultados. Se concluye que aunque el rango de rotación para la población de Caldas está dentro del rango reportado (60 a 80 grados), éste se encuentra muy cercano al límite inferior (60,99 grados). También se muestra el hallazgo de una variación estadísticamente significativa en el análisis de los valores de la rotación cérvico capital en el rango de edad comprendido entre los 19 a 25 años en ambos géneros.


The present work on the rotation between the cervical spine and the head in humans aims to standardize the grades of cervical and capital rotation, both to the right and to the left, in a random sample obtained from individuals of both genders in the Caldas state (Colombia), stratified according to their life cycle from three years of age and exhibiting no alteration in the movements peculiar to the region mentioned above. Through statistical tables the experimental results are shown and these are compared with values reported in the literature. Also, we observed that the values obtained are within the range established in the literature; however, the data referred herein are much more specific because they involve comparisons between the age and gender ranges, data not covered in the texts consulted. We conclude that although the range of rotation for the population of Caldas is within the range reported (60 to 80 degrees), it is very close to the lower limit (60.99 degrees).Also shown is the finding of a statistically significant change in the analysis of cervical and capital rotation values in the age range between 19 to 25 years in both genders.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To evaluate the craniocervical isolation collar, for use in rabbits, with regard to the following aspects: effectiveness of the craniocervical attachment for up to 120 hours; ease of handling; freedom of the animal to move about and ingest food; and the physical integrity of the animal during and after use of the device. METHODS: Starting from an Elizabethan collar, a craniocervical collar was prepared for use in rabbits with the following modifications: a wide cut in the device in the shape of a half-moon, coinciding with the animal's mouth; inner division of the device into two compartments to individually isolate and immobilize the ears; multiple perforations in the upper compartment for better ventilation; adaptation of the cervical-thoracic band to attach the collar to the cervical region, keeping the fasteners on the animal's back. The device was used on 18 male New Zealand rabbits for up to 120 consecutive hours. RESULTS: The device was effective in the craniocervical isolation and separation of ears in rabbits without interfering with the animals' respiration, ability to swallow food, or causing physical trauma, while allowing the animals to move about freely and rest comfortably. Attaching and removing the device was easy and quick and it remained in place for up to 120 hours without the need to reposition it. CONCLUSION: The modified craniocervical isolation collar made it possible to conduct the experiment with isolation of the rabbits' ears, ease of handling, and without causing limitations in relation to the animals' ability to eat and move about freely.


OBJETIVO: Avaliar um colar de isolamento crânio-cervical, para uso em coelhos, quanto aos seguintes aspectos: eficácia da fixação crânio-cervical em até 120 h; facilidade de manuseio; liberdade do animal para deambular e ingerir alimentos; integridade física do animal durante e depois do uso do dispositivo. MÉTODOS: A partir do colar elizabetano confeccionou-se um colar de isolamento crânio-cervical para uso em coelhos, com as seguintes modificações: amplo corte no aparelho, em forma de meia lua, coincidindo com a boca do animal; divisão interna do dispositivo em dois compartimentos, para isolar e imobilizar as orelhas, individualmente; perfurações múltiplas no compartimento superior para melhor ventilação; adaptação de correia cérvico-torácica, para fixar o colar na região cervical, mantendo-se as presilhas de fechamento no dorso do animal. O dispositivo foi utilizado em 18 coelhos machos da raça Nova Zelândia, por período de até 120 horas consecutivas. RESULTADOS: O aparelho foi eficaz no isolamento crânio-cervical e das orelhas de coelhos, não interferiu nas funções respiratórias do animal, na deglutição de alimentos e não causou trauma físico, permitindo a livre deambulação e conforto no repouso. Foi de fácil e rápido manuseio na colocação e retirada, permanecendo no local sem necessidade de reposicionamento por até 120 horas. CONCLUSÃO: O colar de isolamento crânio-cervical modificado possibilitou a realização do experimento com isolamento das orelhas dos coelhos, com facilidade no manuseio, sem causar limitações ao animal em relação à ingestão de alimentos e deambulação.

ABSTRACT

A girl presented with a dull ache in the neck and mild difficulty in neck movements. She had limited clinical signs and her initial work up failed to reveal the cause. With the help of imaging modalities and CT guided needle biopsy, she was diagnosed to have an eosinophilic granuloma of the fifth cervical vertebra. There were no neurological symptoms. She was successfully managed with immobilization of spine, local irradiation and systemic vinblastine. The literature is briefly reviewed for clinical features, diagnosis and management.

ABSTRACT

The vertebral artery is vulnerable to compression in its course between foramen transversarium and the foramen magnum during extreme rotation of the head and neck. This situation may be aggravated by the presence of posterior or lateral bridge of the atlas and result in compromised blood flow. The incidence of the bony ring formed by posterior bridging has been demonstrated in atlases of various races across the world: it varies between 1.875% to 29.2%. In an examination of sixty south Indian atlases it was found in 11.7% of the cases. The presence of this bony bridging should be taken in to account during a surgical manipulation of the cervical spine.

ABSTRACT

Se hizo un estudio clínico con pacientes jóvenes deportistas, comprendido entre las edades de 15 y 25 años, que presentaban síntomas cervicales y que tenían en común el factor de que practicaban ejercicios a nivel de cuello de manera antifisiológica. Estos consistían en giros rápidos y violentos como parte de su entrenamiento deportivo. A todos los casos se le practicaron estudios radiológicos cervicales, observándose lesiones estructurales con notoria analogía en ellos, que consistían en: Agudización de ángulos de cuerpos vertebrales, con incipientes osteofitos en alguno de ellos, que evidenciaban un proceso de osteoartritis precoz. Además presentaban defectos en algunos ángulos antero-superiores e inferiores de los cuerpos cerebrales, por efecto del movimiento anormal; como también cierta convexidad en las carillas inferiores. Por otra parte se observó una importante rectificación de la lordosis cervical normal
