Estresse e Características Resilientes em Alunos com Deficiência e TFE na UFPA / Stress and Resilience Characteristics of Students with Disability and with Specific Functional Disorders at UFPA / Estrés y Características Resilientes en Alumnos con Discapacidad y TFE en la UFPA

Poucos são os pesquisadores que tratam da presença do estresse e da resiliência em alunos com deficiência e com Transtornos Funcionais Específicos no ensino superior, o que sinaliza a necessidade dessas duas temáticas serem mais estudadas e melhor compreendidas no ambiente universitário. A presente pesquisa visou descrever as características sociodemográficas e acadêmicas de 50 estudantes universitários participantes da pesquisa e correlacioná-las com os níveis de estresse e de resiliência. Os instrumentos utilizados foram um questionário semiestruturado e duas escalas: Escala de Estresse Percebido e Escala de Resiliência. Os resultados foram analisados por meio da estatística descritiva e da técnica estatística exploratória. Os resultados apontaram que alunos com níveis elevados de estresse têm níveis moderados e baixos de resiliência. A partir desse resultado, concluiu-se a necessidade de desenvolvimento de programas que visem à manutenção de estratégias eficazes de enfrentamento diante de situações adversas dentro do contexto acadêmico. Espera-se que este estudo possa contribuir com a construção de políticas institucionais que favoreça a inclusão de fato de estudantes com deficiência e com TFE na Universidade Federal do Pará e em outras instituições de ensino superior....(AU)

There are few studies dealing with the presence of stress and resilience on undergraduate students with disabilities and with specific functional disorders in higher education, which indicates the need for these two themes to be more studied and better understood in the university environment. The present study aimed to describe the sociodemographic and academic characteristics of 50 university students who participated in the study and correlate them with levels of stress and resilience. The instruments used were a semi-structured questionnaire and two scales: Perceived Stress Scale and Resilience Scale. The results were analyzed through descriptive statistics and the exploratory statistical technique.

Effects of acupoint application of midnight-noon ebb-flow with hour-prescription of points on dysfunction for sufferers with senile osteoporosis / 重庆医学

Objective To explore the effects of acupoint application of midnight-noon ebb-flow with hour-prescription of points on dysfunction for sufferers with senile osteoporosis(SOP).Methods In this study,76 patients with SOP in clinic in this hospital were recruited and randomly divided into the experimental group(n=38) and the control group(n=38) in accordance with random number table.Both were on the basic treatment of Caltrate D.The experimental group performed acupoint application of midnight-noon ebb flow with hour-prescription of points,while the control one performed common acupoint application.Oswestry Disability Index(ODI) was used to evaluate the dysfunction before,after 4 weeks and 8 weeks of intervention.SF-36 was adopted to evaluate the patients' quality of life before and after 8 week's intervention.Results The ODI scores of the experimental group after 4 weeks and 8 weeks were lower than those of the control group(P＜0.01).Repeated ANOVA indicated that the scores of ODI in group effect,time effect and interaction effect were of statistical significance(P＜0.01).Further comparison showed that the scores of ODI in three different time sections suggested that the latter time point were lower than those of the former time point(P＜0.01).The scores of eight dimensions of SF-36 after the intervention of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The acupoint application of midnight noon ebb flow-with hour-prescription of points can effectively improve the dysfunction whose curative effect enhanced with time increasing and improve the quality of life.

Clinical Study of Acupuncture Combined with Rood Therapy for Post-stroke Upper Limb Functional Disorder / 广州中医药大学学报

Objective To study the clinical efficacy of acupuncture combined with Rood therapy for post-stroke upper limb functional disorder. Methods Ninety patients which met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into integrated group (acupuncture +Rood therapy), acupuncture group, and Rood therapy group, 30 in each group. The therapeutic effect of the three groups was evaluated after treatment for 6 courses, one course covering 7 days. Results (1) After treatment for 6 courses, the total effective rate of the integrated group, acupuncture group, and Rood therapy group was 93.33%, 76.67%, 63.33%, respectively. The results of Mann-Whitney test showed that the integrated group had better effect than acupuncture group and Rood therapy group, the difference being significant(P0.05). (3) After treatment, FMA scores and MBI scores were markedly increased in the three groups(P<0.001 compared with those before treatment). The integrated group had better effect on improving FMA scores and MBI scores than acupuncture group and Rood therapy group , and the resul ts of ANOVO test showed that t he differences were signficiant(P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture combined with Rood therapy has certain clinical efficacy for post-stroke upper limb functional disorder, and the effect is better than acupuncture or Rood therapy alone.

Síndrome do intestino irritável / Irritable Bowel Syndrome

A síndrome do intestino irritável é uma entidade clínica de natureza funcional diagnosticada a partir dos critérios de Roma III, que considera a dor e/ou desconforto abdominal por, pelo menos, três vezes/mês nos últimos três meses e que melhoram com a evacuação, associados a alteração no aspecto das fezes. A depender do hábito intestinal, pode apresentar-se com predomínio de diarreia, constipação ou alternância dessas manifestações. A fisiopatologia, que é complexa e não totalmente esclarecida, é multifatorial envolvendo hipersensibilidade visceral, alterações na flora bacteriana, infecções intestinais prévias e distúrbios psicológicos e psiquiátricos. O diagnóstico é estabelecido pela história clínica (Critérios de Roma III) e, eventualmente, exames laboratoriais básicos, com atenção para a ocorrência de sinais de alarme, porque, quando presentes, estes sugerem afecção orgânica que deve ser investigada apropriadamente. O tratamento é essencialmente sintomático, visando a normalização do hábito intestinal e redução da dor ou desconforto intestinal. Podem ser empregados probióticos e fármacos (antiespasmódicos, antidepressivos etc.). As possibilidades da medicina alternativa e complementar são mencionadas.
