ABSTRACT

RESUMEN San Miguel de los Baños surgió y se desarrolló gracias a sus aguas mineromedicinales. Con el objetivo de determinar el origen, estudio y caracterización de estas se realiza revisión bibliográfica, mediante la consulta de bibliografías y documentos históricos recopilados; la información se buscó sin restricción de fecha de publicación, por descriptores, en bases de datos de la Biblioteca Virtual de Salud y por Google, en pos de hallar publicaciones, artículos y archivos que contuvieran en las palabras clave, determinándose que en los momentos fundacionales y durante el funcionamiento del balneario se realizaron estudios de caracterización, uso y terapéutica de las aguas provenientes de los manantiales: "El Tigre" y "La Salud"; desde 1962 no se brinda atención médica, desde 1984 a la fecha solo constan estudios geo- mineros, físico-químicos y bacteriológicos. La población local hace uso de estas aguas sin indicación, dosis y registro. No se han publicado estudios basados en la evidencia necesarios para la prescripción actual (AU).


Summary San Miguel de los Baños was founded and developed thanks to its mineral- medicinal waters. A bibliographic review was carried out with the objective of determining the origin, study and characterization of these waters consulting bibliography and historical documents, searching information without publishing date restriction, using descriptors in databases of the Virtual Health Library and Google for publications, articles and files having the used key words. The authors arrived to the conclusion that in the times of foundation and during the years of the spa functioning, there were carried out studies on characterization, use and therapeutic of the waters running from the springs "El Tigre" and "La Salud"; medical care is not provided since 1962; only geo-mining, physic-chemical and bacteriological studies were carried out from 1984 up to the date. Local population uses the waters without prescription, doses or recording. No evidence-based studies were published for their current prescription (AU).

ABSTRACT

O uso das águas minerais para tratamento de saúde é um procedimento dos mais antigos, utilizado desde a época do Império Grego, recebeu vários nomes ao longo dos anos: Hidrologia Médica, Crenoterapia e Termalismo. No Brasil, a Crenoterapia foi introduzida juntamente com a colonização portuguesa, que trouxe ao país os seus hábitos de usar águas minerais para tratamento de saúde. A princípio, principalmente nos séculos XVII e XVIII, as águas tinham o seu poder curativo comprovado por experiências práticas e eram relacionadas ao mundo religioso, sendo, por isso, consideradas sagradas e milagrosas. As fontes de águas minerais foram as responsáveis pela formação e desenvolvimento de muitas cidades em Minas Gerais, atraindo a vinda de vários viajantes interessados no poder curativo e milagroso das águas. O sucesso do tratamento de doenças, com os banhos de águas minerais transformou lugarejos em centros urbanos. O potencial econômico das águas minerais, ao logo dos anos, despertou a atenção dos governantes mineiros, que passaram a realizar investimentos nas cidades que possuíam estâncias hidrominerais. Essas cidades, aos olhos dos governantes, tinham potencial para representar o grau de progresso e civilização almejado pelo Estado de Minas Gerais. No entanto, além da higiene, segurança e conforto, fazia-se necessário atingir outros patamares quanto à cientificidade para a indicação terapêutica das águas minerais. Assim, entra em cena a Universidade de Minas Gerais, que foi criada em 07 de setembro de 1927, pela Lei 956, promulgada pelo então Presidente do Estado de Minas Gerais, Antônio Carlos Ribeiro de Andrada. A análise dos documentos durante a pesquisa revelou a existência de um acordo...


The use of mineral waters for health treatment purpose, is not a new procedure, being used since the Greek Empire times, has received several names over the years: Medical Hydrology, Cotherapy and Thermalism. In Brazil the crenoterapia was introduced by the Portuguese colonization, which brought to the country the habits of using mineral waters for health treatment. At first, especially in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the waters had their curative power, proved by practical experience and was linked to the religious world, and therefore considered sacred and miraculous. The sources of mineral waters were responsible for the beginning and development of many cities in Minas Gerais, attracting several travelers interested in the curative and miraculous power of the waters. The success of disease treatment through mineral water baths has turned hamlets into urban centers. The economic potential of the mineral waters, at the turn of the years, attracted the attention of the mining rulers, who began to invest in the cities that had hydro-mineral spots. These, in the eyes of the rulers, had the potential to represent the degree of progress and civilization sought by the State of Minas Gerais. However, besides hygiene, safety and comfort, it was necessary to reach other levels as the scientific knowledge to correct therapeutic indication of the mineral waters. Thus, the University of Minas Gerais, which was created on September 7, 1927 by Law 956, was promulgated by the President of the State of Minas Gerais, Antônio Carlos Ribeiro de Andrada. The analysis of the documents during the research revealed the existence of an agreement between the President of the State in the year 1927 and the director of the Faculty of Medicine for the creation of the University of Minas Gerais. The importance of hydromineral stations to the state and the need to legitimize scientific knowledge for water therapy led the President of the State to support...

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To characterize the profile of commercially available mineral waters in Brazil (from national and international sources) by calculating the potential renal acid load (PRAL). METHODS: We evaluated 308 commercially available mineral waters in the five Brazilian macro regions. The content of sulfate, chloride, sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium from mineral waters were obtained to calculate the PRAL, using Remers & Manz formula, adapted for mineral waters. RESULTS: From the 308 mineral waters collected, 256 were included in this analysis. We found a great variability in the composition of mineral waters according to the source and country of origin. All the components analyzed were present in greater quantities in the mineral waters from international sources and differed significantly from the values found in the mineral waters from Brazilian sources, with the exception of potassium and sodium (Mg: 1,9 vs 6,8, p=0,0008; Ca: 5,78 vs 32,9, p=0,001; SO4: 0,9 vs 13, p<0,0001; Cl: 1,49 vs 12, p=0,0019, mineral waters from Brazilian sources versus international sources, respectively). The PRAL value of mineral waters from Brazilian sources was also statistically different (-0,39 vs -1,39; p=0,0025). The potential basifying / acidifying effects of the mineral water evaluated by PRAL did not correlate with the pH value. The magnesium and bicarbonate content were the major predictors of a negative PRAL - the higher the content thereof, lower the PRAL. CONCLUSION: The mineral waters from Brazilian sources have a low grade of mineralization and the vast majority (n=201) have a PRAL value considered neutral


OBJETIVO: Caracterizar o perfil de águas minerais comercialmente disponíveis em território brasileiro (provenientes de fontes nacionais e internacionais) através do cálculo do potencial de carga ácida renal (PRAL). MÉTODOS: Foram avaliadas 308 águas minerais comercialmente disponíveis nas cinco macrorregiões brasileiras. O conteúdo de sulfato, cloreto, sódio, potássio, magnésio e cálcio das águas minerais foram obtidos para cálculo do PRAL, que foi realizado através da fórmula de Remer e Manz, adaptada para águas minerais. RESULTADOS: Das 308 águas minerais coletadas, foram incluídas 256 nesta análise. Foi encontrada uma grande variabilidade na composição das águas minerais de acordo com a fonte de extração e país de origem. Todos os componentes analisados apresentaram-se em maior quantidade nas águas minerais de fontes internacionais e diferiram significantemente dos valores encontrados nas águas minerais de fontes brasileiras, com exceção do potássio e sódio (Mg: 1,9 vs 6,8, p=0,0008; Ca: 5,78 vs 32,9, p=0,001; SO4: 0,9 vs 13, p<0,0001; Cl: 1,49 vs 12, p=0,0019, fontes brasileiras versus fontes internacionais, respectivamente). O valor de PRAL das águas minerais de fontes brasileiras também foi diferente (-0,39 vs -1,39; p=0,0025). O potencial alcalinizante/ acidificante das águas minerais avaliado pelo PRAL não esteve correlacionado com o valor de pH. O magnésio e bicarbonato apresentaram-se como os principais preditores negativos do PRAL ­ quanto maior o teor destes, menor o PRAL. CONCLUSÃO: As águas minerais de fontes brasileiras possuem baixo grau de mineralização e a maioria (n=201) com valor de PRAL considerado neutro

ABSTRACT

Narra a história de Poços de Caldas, privilegiando não a ordem dos fatos, mas a ordem dos significados a que eles dão acesso. Começa expondo o que é preciso conhecer historicamente sobre as águas termais dos campos de Caldas e logo efetua a conexão com as atividadese econômicas da pecuária, base desde o começo do século XIX da ocupação daquele espaço pelos latifundiários ( que mais tarde passaram para o café). Daí, parte para o nível social das organizações familiares, estudando a formação de grupos articulados pela endogmia e os pactos de interesse.

ABSTRACT

La balneología es una de las ramas más antiguas de la medicina, la cual fue desarrollada por los romanos durante milenios, para lo cual crearon las bases científicas de estos tratamientos. Se realizó una investigación retrospectiva y longitudinal en 30 pacientes con gonoartrosis en el Balneario de San Diego de los Baños, con el objetivo de demostrar la efectividad del tratamiento y relacionar la atención de enfermería; a dichos pacientes se les entrevistó y revisaron sus historias clínicas, recogiendo las siguientes variables: edad sexo, signos y síntomas, uso de rodillera y bastón, tratamiento y efectivad de éstos, datos tabulados por el método de palotes para su mejor comprensión, y se concluyó que en la mayoría de los pacientes predominó el dolor y la limitación articular, así como la efectividad del tratamiento termal complementado con tratamiento fisioterapéutico, y que es significativa la atención de enfermería en estos pacientes(AU)


Balneology is one of the most ancient medicine branches which was developed by the Romans for millennia and for which they created the scientific basis of these treatments. A retrospective longitudinal study was made on 30 patients with gonoarthrosis in San Diego de los Baños spa, with the aim of showing the effectiveness of the treatment and the nursing care. These patients were interviewed and their medical histories were reviewed taking into account the following variables: age, sex, signs and symptoms, use of knee guard and walking stick, kinds of treatments and effectiveness, etc. Data were tabulated by the downstroke method (método de palotes) for a better understanding. It was concluded that pain and joint restriction predominated in most patients, thermal treatment supplemented with physiotherapy was effective and that care given by nurses to these patients was significant(AU)
