ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Esta revisão sistemática (RS) visou avaliar as evidências atuais sobre a eficácia das técnicas de desbridamento cirúrgico e não cirúrgico no tratamento de lesões de peri-implantite com o uso adjunto de antibióticos sistêmicos. Materiais e Métodos: Foram pesquisados 3 bancos de dados eletrônicos (MEDLINE, Pubmed e Cochrane), juntamente com pesquisas manuais, para encontrar artigos relevantes. Ensaios clínicos randomizados (ECRs) comparando grupo teste (antibióticos sistêmicos) e controle (sem antibióticos) no tratamento da peri-implantite (PI) com acompanhamento mínimo de 6 meses foram incluídos, os desfechos avaliados foram sangramento à sondagem (SS), profundidade de sondagem (PS) ou supuração (SuP) e nível ósseo radiográfico (NOR), publicações de 1991 até setembro de 2021 foram incluídas. Resultados: Os principais resultados desta revisão sistemática demonstraram que o desbridamento cirúrgico e não cirúrgico com ou sem tratamento adjuvante de Antibióticos sistêmico proporcionaram magnitude semelhante de redução na inflamação clínica ao redor de implantes com PI. A meta-análise aponta que após 6 meses de acompanhamento os estudos não apresentaram diferença significativa entre os grupos teste e controle para a redução da PS, SS. Após 1 ano de acompanhamento desses estudos não houve diferença significativa no NOR dos implantes e no SS, em contrapartida foi encontrado diferença significativa favorável a intervenção com antibiótico sistêmico para a redução de PS. O risco de viés em todos os trabalhos foi considerado com algumas preocupações. Considerações: Os dados apresentados neste estudo sugerem que não há um benefício considerável que justifique a uso de antibióticos sistêmicos como parte de um protocolo de tratamento para a PI tanto para o desbridamento cirúrgico como o não cirúrgico, mas avaliando as características individuais de cada paciente e as características dos implantes a serem tratados seu uso pode ser considerado.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective To compare the functional outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with hamstring autograft (HA) through the all-inside (AI) technique with adjustable-loop cortical Endobutton (Smith & Nephew, Watford, Hertfordshire, England) on the sides of the femur and tibia and through the outside-in (OI) technique using an interference screw on the tibial side and a cortical Endobutton on the femoral side. Materials and Methods The present is a double-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) of 44 patients undergoing arthroscopic ACL reconstruction from February 2019 to February 2022 in a tertiary care hospital. As per computer-based randomization, the patients were distributed into two groups: the AI and OI groups. Both groups were evaluated for 12 months using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale, and part I (pain score) and part II (function score) of the Knee Society Score (KSS). Results On postoperative day 2,the VAS score was significantly higher in the OI group (p = 0.0001), but insignificant (p = 0.807) at 6 weeks. At 3, 6, and 12 months of follow-up, the score on the Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale was significantly higher (p = 0.001) in the AI group. At 6 months, both parts of the KSS showed a significant difference, with the AI group presenting a better outcome (p = 0.04). However, at 12 months, the AI group presented a better score on part I of the KSS, but no differences were observed regarding part II. Conclusion In a follow-up of 12 months, the patients submitted to the AI technique presented better outcome scores and pain relief than those submitted to the OI technique.


Resumo Objetivo Comparar os resultados funcionais da reconstrução do ligamento cruzado anterior (LCA) com autoenxerto de isquiotibiais pela técnica all-inside (AI) com Endobutton (Smith & Nephew, Watford, Hertfordshire, Inglaterra) cortical de alça ajustável nos lados do fêmur e da tíbia e pela técnica outside-in (OI) com parafuso de interferência no lado tibial e Endobutton cortical no lado femoral. Métodos Trata-se de um ensaio clínico controlado, randomizado e duplo-cego com 44 pacientes submetidos à reconstrução artroscópica do LCA de fevereiro de 2019 a fevereiro de 2022 em um hospital de cuidados terciários. De acordo com a randomização por computador, os pacientes foram distribuídos em dois grupos: AI e OI. Ambos os grupos foram avaliados durante 12 meses pela Escala Visual Analógica (EVA), a Escala de Pontuação do Joelho de Lysholm e pela parte I (pontuação de dor) e a parte II (pontuação de função) da escala Knee Society Score (KSS). Resultados No segundo dia de pós-operatório, a pontuação média na EVA foi significativamente maior no grupo OI (p = 0,0001), mas insignificante (p 0,807) às 6 semanas. Aos 3, 6 e 12 meses de acompanhamento, a pontuação na Escala de Lysholm (p = 0,001) foi significativamente maior no grupo AI. Aos 6 meses, ambas as partes da KSS apresentam uma diferença significativa, com o grupo AI apresentando um desfecho melhor (p = 0,04). No entanto, aos 12 meses, o grupo AI apresentou uma pontuação melhor na parte I da KSS, mas não foram observadas diferenças na parte II. Conclusão Em um acompanhamento de 12 meses, os pacientes submetidos à técnica AI apresentaram melhores pontuações de desfecho e alívio da dor do que aqueles submetidos à técnica OI.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND@#The effects of acupuncture have varied in different randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and there are many factors that influence treatment effect of acupuncture in different outcomes, with conflicting results.@*OBJECTIVE@#To identify factors and their impact on the treatment effect of acupuncture in different outcomes.@*METHODS@#Acupuncture RCTs were searched from 7 databases including Medline (PubMed), Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, VIP Database, and China Biology Medicine disc between January 1st, 2015 and December 31st, 2019. Eligible studies must compare acupuncture to no acupuncture, sham acupuncture, or waiting lists, and report at least 1 patient-important outcome. A multi-level meta-regression was conducted using a 3-level robust mixed model and univariate analyses were performed for all independent variables, even those excluded from the multivariable model due to collinearities. We used thresholds of 0.2 and 0.4 for the difference of standardized mean differences (SMDs), categorising them as small (<0.2), moderate (0.2-0.4), or large (>0.4) effects.@*RESULTS@#The pain construct analysis involved 211 effect estimates from 153 studies and 14 independent variables. High-frequency acupuncture treatment sessions produced larger effects compared to low-frequency sessions [large magnitude, the difference of adjusted SMDs 0.46, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.07 to 0.84; P=0.02]. The non-pain symptoms construct analysis comprised 323 effect estimates from 231 studies and 15 independent variables. Penetrating acupuncture showed moderately larger effects when compared to non-penetrating acupuncture (0.30, 95% CI 0.06 to 0.53; P=0.01). The function construct analysis included 495 effect estimates from 274 studies and 14 independent variables. Penetrating acupuncture and the flexible acupuncture regimen showed moderately larger effects, compared to non-penetrating acupuncture and fixed regimen, respectively (0.40, 95% CI 0 to 0.80; P=0.05; 0.29, 95% CI 0.06 to 0.53; P=0.01).@*CONCLUSIONS@#High-frequency acupuncture sessions appear to be a more effective approach to managing painful symptoms. Penetrating acupuncture demonstrated greater effect in relieving non-painful symptoms. Both penetrating acupuncture type and flexible acupuncture regimen were linked to significant treatment effects in function outcomes. Future studies should consider the factors that are significantly associated with the effects of acupuncture in patient-important outcomes.

ABSTRACT

Los anticonceptivos orales combinados constituyen hoy en día uno de los métodos anticonceptivos más populares a nivel mundial. Su composición consiste en una combinación de análogos de hormonas sexuales femeninas que se administran en bajas dosis diarias, manteniendo constante su concentración sanguínea y evitando de esta forma los cambios en el eje endócrino que estimulan la ovulación. Con el objetivo de recrear los procesos fisiológicos, la mayoría de las formulaciones comprenden un intervalo de 4 a 7 días libres de hormonas en el cual se genera el sangrado por deprivación.A partir de una viñeta clínica en la que una paciente sana desea posponer su hemorragia por deprivación, y tras realizar una búsqueda bibliográfica que prioriza las investigaciones más recientes y de mejor calidad, la autora revisa la evidencia sobre el uso de hormonas sin intervalo libre, especialmente su efectos sobre la eficacia y la incidencia de efectos adversos. (AU)


Nowadays, combined oral contraceptives are one of the most popular contraceptive methods worldwide. Its composition consists of a combination of similar female sex hormones administered in low daily doses, keeping their blood concentration constant and thus avoiding changes in the endocrine axis that stimulate ovulation. In order to recreate physiological processes, most formulations include an interval of 4 to 7 hormone-free days in which withdrawal bleeding occurs.Starting from a clinical vignette in which a healthy patient desires to postpone her withdrawal bleeding, and after conducting a bibliographic search that prioritizes the most recent and best-quality research, the author reviews the evidence about the use of hormones without free interval, especially their effects on efficacy and the incidence of adverse effects.

ABSTRACT

Abstract: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) impacts individuals' adaptive functioning from childhood through adulthood. The first-line treatment for adults with ADHD is pharmacological intervention, with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) also being recommended. However, CBT efficacy remains under-researched in this population. We conducted a systematic review of randomized clinical trials to investigate the effectiveness of CBT in improving the core ADHD symptoms in adults. Data were extracted following PRISMA guidelines, including studies published from January 2012 to August 2022. We performed scientometric and descriptive analyses, finding that CBT improved aspects related to the disorder's core symptoms and individuals' daily functioning. Future research is recommended to delve deeper into the efficacy of CBT, aiding in understanding the cognitive and behavioral processes influencing the expression of core symptoms of the disorder.


Resumo: O TDAH impacta no funcionamento adaptativo dos indivíduos desde a infância até a vida adulta. O tratamento de primeira linha para adultos com TDAH é a intervenção farmacológica, sendo também recomendada a TCC. No entanto, a eficácia da TCC ainda é pouco pesquisada nesta população. Realizamos uma revisão sistemática de estudos clínicos randomizados para investigar a eficácia da TCC na melhoria dos sintomas centrais do TDAH em adultos. Extraímos dados dos artigos seguindo as diretrizes PRISMA, incluindo na análise estudos publicados de janeiro de 2012 e agosto de 2022. Realizamos análises cienciométricas e descritivas, e verificamos que a TCC melhorou aspectos relacionados aos sintomas centrais do transtorno, bem como o funcionamento diário dos indivíduos. É recomendado que pesquisas futuras sejam mais detalhadas sobre a eficácia da TCC, a fim de auxiliar no entendimento dos processos cognitivos e comportamentais que influenciam na expressão dos sintomas centrais do transtorno.


Resumen: El trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad (TDAH) afecta el funcionamiento adaptativo de las personas desde la infancia hasta la edad adulta. El tratamiento de primera línea para adultos con TDAH es la intervención farmacológica, además de la terapia cognitivo-conductual (TCC). Sin embargo, la eficacia de la TCC sigue siendo poco investigada en esta población. Este estudio trata de una revisión sistemática de ensayos clínicos aleatorizados para investigar la eficacia de la TCC en la mejora de los principales síntomas del TDAH en adultos. Se extrajeron datos de los artículos publicados desde enero de 2012 hasta agosto de 2022 siguiendo las pautas PRISMA. Se realizó un análisis cienciométrico y descriptivo, el cual encontró que la TCC mejoró aspectos relacionados con los principales síntomas del trastorno, así como el desempeño diario de las personas. Se recomienda que futuras investigaciones aporten más detalles sobre la eficacia de la TCC para ayudar a comprender los procesos cognitivos y conductuales que influyen en los principales síntomas del trastorno.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo:Revisar sistematicamente a literatura sobre a efetividade do método computadorizado de anestesia odontológica em relação àdor, comportamento não colaborador e o medo/ansiedade em crianças e adolescentes em comparação com o método convencional. Materiais e métodos:Uma buscaeletrônica foi realizada em cinco base de dados (Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Scopus, Embase, Pubmed e Web of Science)e que incluiu ensaios clínicos randomizados. A busca foi realizada em outubro de 2020 eatualizada em maio de 2021 e, não houve restrição de data ou idioma. A avaliação de risco de viés foi realizada usando aRoB 2 e, tambémfoi realizada uma análise qualitativa. Resultados:Foram encontrados 3.518 estudos, e após a remoção das duplicatas, análise do título e resumo e,leitura completa, restaram 26 estudos incluídos. Destes,cinco avaliaram ansiedade/medo, doze avaliaram o comportamento durante a anestesia, e vinte e dois avaliaram a percepção de dor. Não foi observadodiferença significativa na maioria dos estudos entreo uso do método computadorizado em comparação ao método tradicionalpara todos os desfechos analisados. Discussão:Apesar de não parecer haver diferença significativa na percepção de dor, no relato de medo/ansiedade e no comportamento entre o uso do método computadorizado emcomparação ao método tradicional, é fundamentalavaliar o comportamento da criança durante o atendimento odontológico pois suas expressões podem indicar algum desconforto e dor. Esses achados devem ser interpretados com cautela, considerando que quase três quartos dos estudos incluídos apresentaram alto risco de viés. Conclusão:Mesmo com a ausência de diferença, os dispositivos eletrônicos são promissores, visto que promovem uma administração lenta e controlada e resultam em uma anestesia segura e eficaz que coloca-se como alternativa a prática clínica.


Aim:To systematically review the literature on the effectiveness of the computerized method of dental anesthesia in relation to pain, non-collaborative behavior and fear/anxiety in children and adolescents compared to the conventional method. Materials and methods:An electronic search was performed in five databases (Virtual Health Library, Scopus, Embase, Pubmed and Web of Science)that included randomized clinicaltrials. The search was performed in October 2020 and updated in May 2021. The risk of bias assessment was performed using the RoB 2 andaqualitative analysis was also performed. Results:A total of 3,518 studieswere found, and after removing duplicates, analyzing the title and abstract, and completereading, 26 studies remainedincluded. Of these, five assessed anxiety/fear, twelve assessed behavior during anesthesia, and twenty-two assessed pain perception. No significant difference was observed in most studies between the use of the computerized method compared to the traditional method for all outcomesanalyzed. Discussion:Although there does not seem tobe a significant difference in pain perception, fear/anxiety reports and behavior between the use of the computerized method and the traditional method, it is fundamental to evaluate the child's behavior during dental care, as their expressions may indicate some discomfort and pain. These findings should be interpreted with caution, considering that nearly three-quarters of the included studies were at high risk of bias. Conclusion:Even with the absence of difference, electronic devices are promising, as they promote slow and controlled administration and result in safe and effective anesthesia, which is an alternative to clinical practice.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Dificuldades anestésicas podem decorrer de cenários de infecção e inflamação, como são os casos de pulpite irreversível. Logo, o propósitoda presente revisãosistematizadafoiauxiliar o clínico a alcançar anestesia profunda durante o tratamento de urgência endodôntica de molares mandibulares com pulpite irreversível. Materiais e métodos:Foram selecionados viaPubMed,ensaios clínicos randomizadosrealizados compacientes com pulpite irreversível em molares mandibulares procurando atendimento de urgência. Estes deveriam avaliaro sucesso anestésico através do relato de dor duranteaabertura coronária e/ou instrumentação dos canais radiculares. Dois desfechos primários distintos eram alvo deste estudo (soluções anestésicas e condutas alternativas). Para soluções anestésicas, foram incluídos 18 estudos, e para condutas alternativas, 10 estudos.Revisão de literatura: Diversas estratégias têm sido investigadas para aumentar o percentual de sucesso anestésico, como ouso de técnicas complementares ao bloqueio do nervo alveolar inferior (BNAI), o aumento do volume de anestésico ou do vasoconstritor, o tamponamento das soluções econdutas alternativas.Discussão: Constatou-seque não há diferença na taxa de sucesso no BNAI e para técnicas anestésicas complementares para os diferentes agentes anestésicos. Além disso, a maior concentração de adrenalina, o aumento do volume da solução utilizada, substâncias capazes detamponar a solução anestésica, a administração ou injeção de anti-inflamatórios, a crioterapia e o óxido nitroso também parecem melhoram as taxas de sucesso anestésico.Conclusão:Diversos métodos alternativos parecem promissores para potencializar uma anestesia profunda, e devem ser mais bem investigados para a adoção de parâmetros em prol de seu emprego definitivo.


Aim:Anesthetic difficulties may arise from scenarios of infection and inflammation, as in cases of irreversible pulpitis. Therefore, the purpose of this systematized review was to help the clinician to achieve deep anesthesia during emergency endodontic treatment of mandibular molars with irreversible pulpitis. Materials and methods:Randomized clinical trials performed with patients with irreversible pulpitis in mandibular molars seeking emergency care were selected via PubMed. These should assess anesthetic success by reporting pain during coronary opening and/or instrumentation of root canals. Two distinct primary outcomes were the target of this study (anesthetic solutions and alternative approaches). For anesthetic solutions, 18 studies were included, and for alternative conducts, 10 studies. Literature review:Several strategies have been investigated to increase the percentage of anesthetic success, such as the use of complementary techniques to inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB), increasing the volume of anesthetic or vasoconstrictor, tamponade of solutions and alternative approaches. Discussion:It was found that there is no difference in the success rate for the IANB and for complementary anesthetic techniques for the different anesthetic agents. In addition, higher adrenaline concentration, increased volume of solution used, substances capable of buffering the anesthetic solution, administration or injection of anti-inflammatories, cryotherapy and nitrous oxide also seem to improve anesthetic success rates. Conclusion:Several alternative methods seem promising to potentiate deep anesthesia, and should be better investigated for the adoption of parameters in favor of its definitive use.

ABSTRACT

Aim:The purpose of this studywas to assess whether individuals with active caries lesions treated with professional topical application of fluoride at high concentrations show a lower incidence of caries than individuals who have not received professional treatment with fluoridated products. Literature review:Randomized clinical trials in which patients were followed up for at least 6 months were included. Studieswere identified with MEDLINE, Embase, LILACS, SCOPUS, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Pairs of reviewers independently conducted study selection, data extraction, and risk-of-bias assessments. Eight trials, which included 5018 children and adolescents, were eligible. Results were evaluated by calculating the preventive fraction to standardize the outcomes.Results:Fluoride varnish yielded a better preventive fraction (90.18% to 14.6%) in both primary and permanent dentitions in comparison with methods using gel (22.3% to 6%) and foam (24%) after a mean follow-up period of 20.6 months. Regardless of the product used, increased frequency of application yielded greater benefit. Discussion:Theseresults do not agree with previous findings that, in 8 weeks periods, did not observe an additional effect of the professional use of fluorides over the control treatments(biofilm control). The presentreview indicatesthe need for long-term monitoring of the effect of treatment, whereby the effects of high fluoride concentrations may appear. Conclusion:Professional fluoride treatment proved to be effective in preventing new long-term injuries in both primary and permanent dentition, irrespective of the vehicle used (varnish, gel, or foam). (PROSPERO Register number CRD42021210740).


Objetivo:Avaliar se indivíduos com lesões ativas de cárie tratadas com aplicação tópica profissional de fluoretos em altas concentrações apresentam menor incidência de cárie do que indivíduos que não receberam este tratamento. Revisão da literatura:Ensaios clínicos randomizados, com acompanhamento de pelo menos 6 meses foram incluídos. Os estudos foram identificados nas bases de dados MEDLINE, Embase, LILACS, SCOPUS e Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Pares de revisores conduziram de forma independente a seleção de estudos, extração de dados e avaliações de risco de viés. Oito estudos, que incluíram 5.018 crianças e adolescentes, foram elegíveis. Os resultados foram avaliados por meio do cálculo da fração preventiva. Resultados:O verniz fluoretado apresentou melhor fração preventiva (90,18% a 14,6%), tanto na dentição decídua quanto na permanente, em comparação com os métodos com gel (22,3% a 6%) e espuma (24%) após um período médio de seguimento de 20,6 meses. Independentemente do produto utilizado, o aumento da frequência de aplicação apresentou maior benefício. Discussão:Estes resultados diferem de achados anteriores em que, em períodos de 8 semanas, não houve efeito adicional do uso profissional de fluoretos em relação ao tratamento controle. A presente revisão indicou a necessidade de monitoramento a longo prazo do efeito do tratamento, quando os efeitos do fluoreto de alta concentração podem aparecer. Conclusão:O tratamento profissional com flúor mostrou-se eficaz na prevenção de novas lesões a longo prazo, tanto na dentição decídua quanto na permanente, independente do veículo utilizado (verniz, gel ou espuma). (Número de registro PROSPERO CRD42021210740).

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background: This study compares Fascia Iliaca compartment (FI) block and Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block for hip surgery. Methods: Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane were systematically searched in April 2022. Inclusion criteria were: Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs); comparing PENG block versus FI block for hip surgery; patients over 18 years of age; and reporting outcomes immediately postoperative. We excluded studies with overlapped populations and without a head-to-head comparison of the PENG block vs. FI block. Mean-Difference (MD) with 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) were pooled. Trial Sequential Analyses (TSA) were performed to assess inconsistency. Quality assessment and risk of bias were performed according to Cochrane recommendations. Results: Eight RCTs comprising 384 patients were included, of whom 196 (51%) underwent PENG block. After hip surgery, PENG block reduced static pain score at 12h post-surgery (MD = 0.61 mm; 95% CI 1.12 to -0.09; p = 0.02) and cumulative postoperative oral morphine consumption in the first 24h (MD = -6.93 mg; 95% CI -13.60 to -0.25; p = 0.04) compared with the FI group. However, no differences were found between the two techniques regarding dynamic and static pain scores at 6 h or 24 h post-surgery, or in the time to the first analgesic rescue after surgery. Conclusion: The findings suggest that PENG block reduced opioid consumption in the first 24 h after surgery and reduced pain scores at rest at 12 h post-surgery. Further research is needed to fully understand the effects of the PENG block and its potential benefits compared to FI block.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of trans-nasal Sphenopalatine Ganglion (SPG) block over other treatments for Post-Dural Puncture Headache (PDPH) management. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted on databases for Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) comparing trans-nasal SPG blockade for the management of PDPH over other treatment modalities. All outcomes were pooled using the Mantel-Haenszel method and random effect model. Analyses of all outcomes were performed as a subgroup based on the type of control interventions (conservative, intranasal lignocaine puffs, sham, and Greater Occipital Nerve [GON] block). The quality of evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach. Results: After screening 1748 relevant articles, 9 RCTs comparing SPG block with other interventions (6 conservative treatments, 1 sham, 1 GON and 1 intranasal lidocaine puff) were included in this meta-analysis. SPG block demonstrated superiority over conservative treatment in pain reduction at 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h after interventions and treatment failures with "very low" to "moderate" quality of evidence. The SPG block failed to demonstrate superiority over conservative treatment in pain reduction beyond 6 h, need for rescue treatment, and adverse events. SPG block demonstrated superiority over intranasal lignocaine puff in pain reduction at 30 min, 1 h, 6 h, and 24 h after interventions. SPG block did not show superiority or equivalence in all efficacy and safety outcomes as compared to sham and GON block. Conclusion: Very Low to moderate quality evidence suggests the superiority of SPG block over conservative treatment and lignocaine puff for short-term pain relief from PDPH.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Caracterizar os Ensaios Clínicos Randomizados sobre procedimentos de Enfermagem registrados por enfermeiros no Brasil. Métodos: Estudo bibliométrico, que aconteceu por meio do acesso à plataforma digital de Registro Brasileiro de Ensaios Clínicos entre os anos de 2010 e 2021, no qual foram incluídos 65 ensaios registrados por enfermeiros. A análise dos dados ocorreu com auxílio do software R. Resultados: Constatou-se aumento dos registros acerca dos procedimentos de enfermagem ao longo dos anos, em que a maioria das pesquisas foi oriunda da região Sudeste, por profissionais com titulação de doutor, vinculados a instituições públicas, e sobre a população estudada ocorreu predominância de pacientes. A maior parte dos estudos foi realizada na atenção secundária, com ênfase no procedimento de punção venosa e arterial. Conclusão: A caracterização dos ensaios clínicos randomizados sobre procedimentos de enfermagem pode contribuir para evidenciar os avanços e as lacunas das condutas desses profissionais na assistência à saúde. Verifica-se o crescimento no desenvolvimento de ensaios clínicos randomizados com o passar dos anos, no entanto sua incorporação à prática clínica ainda representa um desafio.

Objective: To characterize the Randomized Clinical Trials on Nursing procedures registered by nurses in Brazil.Methods: Bibliometric study, which took place through access to the digital platform of the Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials between the years 2010-2021, in which 65 trials registered by nurses were included. Data analysis occurred with the aid of the software R. Results: There was an increase in records about nursing procedures over the years, in which most of the research came from the southeast region, by professionals with PhD degree, linked to public institutions, and on the population studied there was a predominance of patients. Most studies were conducted in secondary care, with emphasis on venous and arterial puncture. Conclusion: The characterization of randomized clinical trials on nursing procedures can contribute to highlight the advances and gaps in the conduct of these professionals in health care. There is a growth in the development of randomized clinical trials over the years, so its incorporation into clinical practice still represents a challenge.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Analisar os efeitos do laser de baixa potência na intervenção às lesões decorrentes da Leishmaniose Cutânea. MÉTODO: Trata-se de um estudo quase-experimental, duplo-cego e randomizado realizado em um centro de referência do Norte de Minas Gerais. Foram alocados aleatoriamente 07 pacientes que foram submetidos ao tratamento endovenoso e curativos locais da leishmaniose cutânea, a saber: 03 no grupo controle, onde fizeram uso do tratamento convencional, e 04 no grupo experimental, que foram submetidos a aplicação da laserterapia de baixa potência, além da terapêutica habitual. Foi avaliado como desfecho primário a redução do tamanho das lesões, por meio da adaptação da ferramenta Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing. A análise dos dados foi conduzida por meio de uma estatística comparativa pareada com teste T. RESULTADOS: Não houve diferença significativa entre os grupos controle e experimental. CONCLUSÃO: A laserterapia de baixa potência não parece favorecer a cicatrização das lesões por leishmaniose cutânea.


OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of low-level laser therapy in treating lesions resulting from cutaneous leishmaniasis. METHODS: This is a double-blind, randomized, quasi-experimental study conducted at a reference center in the northern region of Minas Gerais. Seven patients were randomly assigned to receive intravenous and local wound care for cutaneous leishmaniasis. Specifically, three patients were assigned to the control group and received conventional treatment, while four patients were assigned to the experimental group and received low-level laser therapy plus standard therapeutic measures. The primary outcome measure was the reduction in lesion size as assessed by the adapted Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing. Paired comparison statistics using the t-test were used for data analysis. RESULTS: No significant difference was observed between the control and experimental groups. CONCLUSION: Low-level laser therapy does not appear to improve the healing of cutaneous leishmaniasis lesions.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La medición de la presión arterial es uno de los procedimientos más realizados en la práctica clínica. La presente revisión narrativa pretende sintetizar los aspectos relevantes que rodearon la definición de la hipertensión arterial, el recorrido histórico del tratamiento de esta y el aporte de los estudios a la disminución de la mortalidad por enfermedad cardiovascular en el tiempo. Metodología: Revisión narrativa de la historia de la hipertensión arterial, desde el reconocimiento de la presión arterial alta como un factor asociado al riesgo cardiovascular y la evolución histórica del tratamiento hasta los hallazgos significativos del estudio SPRINT, publicado en 2015. Resultados: Hasta hace aproximadamente 50 años la hipertensión arterial era conocida como una patología esencial, es decir, esta condición no siempre fue considerada como una enfermedad. El descubrimiento de la presión sanguínea ha sido atribuido a Stephen Hales, poeta, orador y sacerdote nacido en Inglaterra. La primera medición de la presión sanguínea e incidentalmente de la presión del pulso la realizó en 1733 en animales. Se describe el origen de la presión arterial, la hipertensión arterial, el camino recorrido para el reconocimiento de esta condición como enfermedad y posteriormente su tratamiento, hasta llegar al estudio SPRINT en 2015, el cual fue contundente en demostrar el beneficio de reducir la cifra de presión arterial sistólica objetivo en una población no diabética. Conclusión: Los resultados de esta revisión narrativa exponen cómo el reconocimiento de la presión arterial alta como un factor de riesgo cardiovascular permitió el avance en la investigación científica para determinar el tratamiento y las cifras de presión arterial que favorecen la reducción de la mortalidad y morbilidad por esta causa.


Background: Blood pressure measurement is one of the most performed procedures in clinical practice. This narrative review aims to expose the relevant aspects surrounding the definition of arterial hypertension, the historical path of its treatment, and the contribution of studies to the decrease in mortality due to cardiovascular disease over time. Methodology: Narrative review of the history of arterial hypertension from recognizing high blood pressure as a factor associated with cardiovascular risk to the historical evolution of treatment up to the SPRINT study published in 2015. Results: Until about 50 years ago, arterial hypertension was known as an essential pathology; this condition was not always considered a disease. The discovery of blood pressure has been attributed to Stephen Hales, a poet, orator and priest born in England. The first measurement of blood pressure and incidentally pulse pressure was made in 1733 in animals. The origin of blood pressure, arterial hypertension, and the path travelled for recognizing this condition as a disease and later its treatment until reaching the SPRINT study in 2015, which demonstrated the benefit of reducing the target systolic blood pressure figure in a non-diabetic population. Conclusion: This narrative review demonstrates that the recognition of high blood pressure as a cardiovascular risk factor allowed progress in scientific research to determine the treatment and blood pressure figures that favor the reduction of mortality and morbidity from this cause.
