Relación del apoyo social percibido y el logro de las metas de compensación de los pacientes con hipertensión arterial y diabetes mellitus / Relationship of perceived social support and the compensation goals of patients with arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus

INTRODUCCIÓN: Las enfermedades crónicas son un problema actual que presentan altos porcentajes de descompensación en pacientes hipertensos y diabéticos, que hace interesante evaluar los determinantes sociales que influyen en la situación, como el apoyo social. OBJETIVO DEL ESTUDIO: fue relacionar el apoyo social percibido, adherencia a medicamentos, literacidad y variables sociodemográficas con el logro de compensación en pacientes con hipertensión arterial y diabetes mellitus. METODOLOGÍA: De tipo descriptivo correlacional de corte transversal. RESULTADOS: Se estudió a 600 personas, con un promedio de edad de 62,9 años, 63,5% mujeres. Un 64,66% son diabéticos y 89,5% hipertensos (46,9% y 43,33% descompensados respectivamente). El apoyo social percibido fue alto y presentan una inadecuada adherencia al tratamiento farmacológico y una adecuada literacidad en salud (57,6%). Se realiza un análisis de relaciones que demuestran relación significativa entre una menor percepción de apoyo instrumental y ser mujer; la percepción del apoyo de interacción social disminuye con el aumento de la edad y en relación con el apoyo afectivo, disminuye la percepción a mayores años de estudios. Al realizar una regresión logística, entre la percepción de apoyo social baja y los niveles de compensación de los parámetros de compensación no se evidencia una relación estadísticamente significativa. Se evidencia una asociación entre las personas con menos de 8 años de estudio y presentar presiones arteriales elevadas. DISCUSIÓN: Existe dificultad en la medición del concepto de apoyo social, dado que el sentido y significancia es personal. Las patologías crónicas como estresores debe ser un elemento que continúe estudiándose con estudios longitudinales y experimentales. Las estrategias clínicas para la compensación de la hipertensión y la diabetes deben ir más allá del apoyo social, considerando las crecientes complicaciones y proyecciones de mortalidad. CONCLUSIÓN: Se destaca la importancia de abordar el apoyo social considerando su naturaleza subjetiva y contextual, aunque no se estableció una correlación directa con el logro terapéutico. Se señala la inadecuada adherencia al tratamiento farmacológico, la asociación entre baja escolaridad y presiones arteriales elevadas.

INTRODUCTION: Chronic diseases are a current problem since there are high percentages of decompensation in hypertensive and diabetic patients, which makes it interesting to evaluate the social determinants that influence and social support as a multidimensional concept. OBJECTIVE: To relate the perceived social support, medication adherence, literacy and sociodemographic variables with the achievement of compensation in patients with arterial hypertension and / or diabetes mellitus. METHODOLOGY: Descriptive correlational descriptive study is performed methodologically. RESULTS: 600 people were studied, with an average age of 62.9 years, 63.5% women. 64.66% are diabetic and 89.5% hypertensive (46.9% and 43.33% decompensated respectively). The perceived social support was high and showed inadequate adherence to drug treatment and adequate literacy (57.6%). An analysis of relationships that are significantly related between a lower perception of instrumental support and being a woman is performed; the perception of social interaction support with increasing age and in relation to affective support, the perception of older years of studies. When performing a logistic regression, there is no statistically significant relationship between the perception of low social support and the compensation levels of the compensation parameters. There is evidence of an association between children under 8 years of study and presentation of high arterial references. DISCUSSION: There is difficulty in measuring the concept of social support, since the meaning and meaning is personal. Chronic pathologies as stressors should be an element that continues to study with longitudinal and experimental studies. Clinical strategies for the compensation of hypertension and diabetes must go beyond social support, considering the increasing complications and mortality projections. CONCLUSION: Emphasizes the importance of addressing social support considering its subjective and contextual nature, though no direct correlation with therapeutic achievement was established. Highlights inadequate adherence to pharmacological treatment, the association between low education and elevated blood pressure.

Efeitos de um protocolo de aquecimento-alongamento-resfriamento sobre a flexibilidade muscular / Effects of a warm-up-cool-down protocol on muscle flexibility

Objetivo: Investigar os efeitos da associação entre alongamento e recursos termoterapêuticos sobre o ganho de flexibilidade e amplitude de movimento. Métodos: Este ensaio clínico, controlado, não randomizado e cego teve duração de três semanas, com duas sessões semanais e incluiu 27 indivíduos do sexo feminino, as quais compuseram tanto o grupo experimental quanto o controle, de forma que um de seus membros inferiores recebeu a intervenção terapêutica dos recursos termoterapêuticos e o membro oposto foi submetido apenas ao alongamento. A análise angular foi realizada através do software de avaliação postural Kinovera. Resultados: Os efeitos do alongamento associado ao calor prévio e resfriamento pós intervenção se mostraram mais eficazes comparado ao grupo controle pré-intervenção (p<0,000), grupo controle pós intervenção (p= 0,003) e grupo experimental pré-intervenção (p<0,000). Conclusão: A aplicação de calor prévio ao alongamento, seguido pelo emprego imediato de resfriamento propicia ganhos de flexibilidade muscular e amplitude de movimento maiores que o alongamento simples.

Objective: To investigate the effects between stretching and thermotherapeutics resources on gaining flexibility and range of motion. Methods: This controlled, non- randomized, blinded clinical trial lasted three weeks, with two weekly sessions and included 27 female individuals, who made up both the experimental and the control group, so one of their legs received therapeutic intervention from chemotherapeutic resources and the opposite one was submitted to stretching only. Angular analysis was performed using the Kinovera postural assessment software. Results: The effects of stretching associated with pre-intervention heat and post-intervention cooling were more effective compared to the pre-intervention control group (p<0.000), post- intervention control group (p= 0.003) and pre-intervention experimental group (p<0.000). Conclusion: The application of heat prior to stretching followed by immediate cooling provides gains in muscle flexibility and range of motion greater than simple stretching.

Impacto de la pandemia por SARS-CoV-2 en adolescentes que viven con el VIH en Lima, Perú / Impact of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on adolescents living with HIV in Lima, Peru

RESUMEN Los adolescentes que viven con el VIH (AVVIH) tienen tasas más bajas de supresión virológica y tasas más altas de deterioro inmunológico en comparación con sus contrapartes mayores, colocándolos potencialmente en alto riesgo de enfermedad severa por SARS-CoV-2. Los AVVIH que están transicionando hacia el cuidado de adultos enfrentan dificultades adicionales para permanecer en el cuidado y adherirse al tratamiento antirretroviral. En esta sección especial reportamos el impacto observado en AVVIH transicionando al servicio de VIH para adultos durante la pandemia por SARS-CoV-2. En primer lugar, el acceso a la atención del VIH se ha visto perjudicado por la restricción del transporte público, la falta de antirretrovirales, y la suspensión de citas médicas y laboratoriales. Adicionalmente, dificultades financieras, incertidumbre sobre el futuro, estresores emocionales, alteración del estilo de vida y el temor de divulgar el diagnóstico involuntariamente han desafiado aún más la continuidad en la atención de esta población adolescente.

ABSTRACT Adolescents living with HIV (ALWH) have lower rates of virologic suppression and higher rates of immunologic decline compared to their older counterparts, potentially placing them at high-risk for developing severe SARS-CoV-2 disease. ALWH who are transitioning to adult care face additional challenges to remaining in care and adhering to treatment. In this special section we report the experiences of ALWH in the process of transitioning to adult HIV services during the COVID-19 pandemic. In first place, the government-mandated stay-at-home order has substantially limited access to full HIV care by restricting public transportation, HIV medication stock-outs, and the suspension of routine medical and laboratory appointments. In addition, financial hardship, uncertainty about their future plans, emotional stressors, lifestyle disruptions, and concerns of involuntary disclosure have further challenged continuity in care for this adolescent population.

Quality of life and the work capacity of professional nursing staff in the hospital environment

This study aimed to evaluate the association between life quality and the work capacity of nursing professionals in a public hospital of the public health system. A cross-sectional, quantitative study with the participation of 115 nursing professionals. The study method used the WHOQOL-brief questionnaire, the Work Capacity Index questionnaire, and a sociodemographic and occupational questionnaire. The data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics, where values of p≤ 0.05 were considered significant. In terms of life quality, the domains that presented higher averages were for psychological 70.0±14.5 and social relations 70.8±19.8, with the physical domain reaching 64.4±11.9 and the environment at 57.7±13.6. The average score from the Work Capacity Index was 40.3±6.1; median: 42; IQR: 37.0-45.0), with a predominance of good and excellent for work capacity. Work capacity was increased for being male (ß=3.99; p=0.016) and negatively associated to age (ß=-0.31; p<0.001). In conclusion, it is verified that there is a positive correlation between the capacity for work and the evaluation of the quality of life, but it is emphasized that the sociodemographic and occupational characteristics lead the nursing professional to present a work capacity reduction, which generates alterations in the perception of life quality.

Valor pronóstico de la hemoglobina glicada HbA1c en el padecimiento de retinopatía diabética en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo II / Prognostic value of glycated hemoglobin HbA1c in diabetic retinopathy in patients with type II diabetes mellitus / Valor prognóstico da hemoglobina glicada HbA1c na retinopatia diabética em pacientes com diabetes mellitus tipo II

RESUMEN Se realizó un estudio analítico transversal, con el objetivo de establecer el valor pronóstico de la hemoglobina glicada en la aparición de la retinopatía diabética en la Policlínica Universitaria Ángel Ortiz Vázquez. 2015-2019.El universo estuvo constituido por 181 pacientes con diagnóstico de diabetes mellitus tipo II, cada paciente fue seguido por dos años realizándose tres hemoglobinas glicada, tres glicemias en ayuna y dos controles oftalmológicos. Se observó una relación incremental del riesgo de retinopatía diabética según el nivel de hemoglobina glicada ascendente fundamentada en el incremento en la tendencia del riesgo asociado para retinopatía diabética, desde casi el doble (OR=1.89) con cifras de HbA1c entre 7.1 y 8.0 hasta más del triple (OR=3.51) cuando los valores de HbA1c fueron iguales o mayores a 10.1. La presencia de retinopatía diabética está en relación con los niveles de hemoglobina glicada, hecho que responde a un control glucémico inapropiado sostenido, que además promueve la aparición de otras complicaciones crónicas de la enfermedad.

ABSTRACT A cross-sectional analytical study was carried out, with the objective of establishing the prognostic value of glycated hemoglobin in the appearance of diabetic retinopathy at the Ángel Ortiz Vázquez University Polyclinic. 2015-2019. The universe was made up of 181 patients diagnosed with type II diabetes mellitus, each patient was followed for two years with three glycated hemoglobins, three fasting glycemia and two ophthalmological controls. An incremental relationship of the risk of diabetic retinopathy was observed according to the level of ascending glycated hemoglobin based on the increase in the trend of the associated risk for diabetic retinopathy, from almost double (OR = 1.89) with HbA1c figures between 7.1 and 8.0 to more. triple (OR = 3.51) when HbA1c values ​​were equal to or greater than 10.1. The presence of diabetic retinopathy is related to the levels of glycated hemoglobin, a fact that responds to sustained inappropriate glycemic control, which also promotes the appearance of other chronic complications of the disease.

Foi observada uma relação incremental do risco de retinopatia diabética de acordo com o nível de hemoglobina glicada ascendente, com base no aumento da tendência do risco associado à retinopatia diabética, de quase o dobro (OR = 1,89) com valores de HbA1c entre 7,1 e 8,0 para mais. triplo (OR = 3,51 quando os valores de HbA1c forem iguais ou superiores a 10,1. A presença de retinopatia diabética está relacionada aos níveis de hemoglobina glicada, fato que responde ao controle glicêmico inadequado sustentado, que também promove o aparecimento de outras complicações crônicas da doença.

Estudo da associação entre os dados antropométricos e articulares com a dor em praticantes de balé clássico / Study of the association between anthropometric and articular data with pain in classical ballet practice

Objetivo: o estudo tem como objetivo, estudar os fatores musculoesqueléticos que podem gerar dor em bailarinas clássicas. Os movimentos do balé requerem que o desempenho seja realizado com maestria, envolvendo posições articulares em seu limite e esforços musculares que podem exceder as amplitudes normais de movimento, gerando assim, elevado estresse mecânico nos ossos e tecidos moles. Diversos fatores podem estar associados a dores intensas e a lesões musculoesqueléticas em praticantes de balé clássico. Materiais e métodos: foi realizado um estudo de caso, no qual foram avaliados os dados de três bailarinas clássicas com idade entre 15 e 17 anos, em um estúdio de balé clássico selecionado e localizado no interior de Goiás. Para coleta de dados foram utilizados dois instrumentos, sendo eles o Questionário de Avaliação da Bailarina Clássica, formulado pela própria pesquisadora e a avaliação física, onde foram coletados dados a partir de uma ficha elaborada pelos pesquisadores. Resultados: as voluntárias referiram dor, principalmente no movimento de grand plié, aumento da amplitude de abdução de quadril e fraqueza nos rotadores laterais de quadril. Conclusão: este estudo revelou uma maior incidência de episódios de dor em bailarinos clássicos causada por desequilíbrio de força muscular em membros inferiores..(AU)

Objective: this study aims to study the musculoskeletal factors that can generate pain in classical dancers. There are several types of dance and classic ballet stands out among them, because it is common to find dancers with various injuries due to physical exertion, because their practitioners suffer high mechanical stress their musculoskeletal structures. Several factors may be associated with intense pain and musculoskeletal injuries in classical ballet practitioners. Materials and methods: a case study was carried out, in which the data of three classical ballet dancers aged 15 to 17 years old were evaluated in a classical ballet studio selected and located in the interior of Goias. Two instruments were used to collect data, The Classical Dancer Evaluation Questionnaire, formulated by the researcher herself and the physical evaluation, where data were collected from a file prepared by the researchers. Results: the volunteers referred pain mainly to the large movement, with increased abduction hip range of motion and weakness in the lateral hip rotators. Conclusion: this study revealed a higher incidence of pain episodes in classical dancers caused by imbalance of muscle strength in the lower limbs..(AU)

Se realizó el análisis estadístico en SPSS v23 y se emplearon medidas de tendencia central y análisis de frecuencias. Se contemplaron las recomendaciones de la declaración de Helsinki. RESULTADOS Y DISCUSIÓN: el 31.57% presenta depresión mayor o menor. De ellos, se debería considerar el tratamiento en un 55% y aplicarse en un 19.5%. El 93.7% declaró que la carrera les generaba algún grado de estrés por la carga académica y exigencias. Además, un 14.8% expresó que ser funcionales en sus hogares, trabajos o en relaciones interpersonales es muy difícil o extremadamente difícil. Finalmente, un 11.90% de los encuestados tiene pensamientos de muerte o de autoagresiones en más de la mitad de los días o en casi todos los días.

INTRODUCTION: major depressive disorder is defined by certain episodes of at least two weeks of duration, which involve clear changes in affect, cognition, neuro-vegetative functions, anhedonia, fatigue, among others. In Honduras, 13.2% of the population is affected; however, there are no studies in depression focused on medical students. MATERIALS AND METHODS: this is a study with a descriptive scope, quantitative approach, cross-sectional; nonprobabilistic sampling. 380 medical students from the National Autonomous University of Honduras participated from a population of 7,700. The Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) was used to diagnose depression and a questionnaire with 38 questions was prepared to obtain the associated determinants. Statistical analysis was performed in SPSS v23 and measures of central tendency and frequency analysis were used. The recommendations of the Helsinki declaration were considered. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: 31.57% have major or minor depression, in which a 55% should be considered for treatment and definitely applied in a 19.5% 93.7% declared that the career generated some degree of stress due to the academic load and demands. In addition, 14.8% expressed that being functional in their homes, work or interpersonal relationships is very difficult or extremely difficult. Finally, 11.90% of those surveyed have thoughts of death or self-harm on more than half of the days or on almost every day(AU)

Correlação entre os níveis de independência, nutrição, provas de forças de músculos ventilatórios e equilíbrio em idosos / Correlation amongdegrees of independence, mutrition, ventilatory muscles streng tests and equilibrium in olde adults

Introdução: O processo de envelhecimento proporciona alterações funcionais, psicossociais e biológicas de caráter progressivo e irreversível, diminuindo a capacidade funcional e pulmonar dos idosos. A fraqueza muscular presente nos idosos pode reduzir o nível de atividades funcionais e do sistema respiratório, favorecendo a inatividade e dependência. Objetivo: Avaliar a correlação entre a capacidade funcional e pulmonar em idosos. Metodologia: Estudo descritivo transversal, no qual foi realizada uma avaliação por meio do Índice de Barthel Modificado, da PI máx, PE máx com a utilização de manuvacuometro, da circunferência da panturrilha (CP) e do teste Timed Up and Go (TUG). A amostra foi de 40 idosos. Resultados: a associação significativa entre achados de força da musculatura inspiratória, CP, teste TUG, Índice de Barthel, PI máx, PE máx e idade, correlaciona a redução da força muscular com menor nível de capacidade funcional em idosos, ainda mais significativa no sexo masculino, com menor tempo para a realização do teste TUG, comparado ao sexo feminino. Conclusão: Houve correlação entre o nível de capacidade funcional e pulmonar de idosos, demonstrando a importância da associação do treinamento da função respiratória associado ao exercício físico.(AU)

Introduction: The aging process provides functional, psychosocial and biological changes of a progressive and irreversible character, reducing the functional and pulmonary capacity of older adults. The muscular weakness present in older persons reduces the level of functional activities and the respiratory system, favoring inactivity and dependence. Objective: Evaluate the correlation between functional and pulmonary capacity in older people. Methodology: A physical therapy evaluation was performed through an evaluation form deve loped by the authors and the Modified Barthel Index. The rating consisted of identification, pulmonary evaluation, calf circumference (CP) and performance the Timed Up and Go test (TUG). The data was collected at a long permanence institution for older adults, located in the interior of Goiás, with a sample of 40 older individuals. Results: The association between inspiratory muscle strength, CP, TUG test, Barthel index, PI max, PE max and age, correlate the reduction of muscle strength with lower level of functional capacity in older adults, even more significant in sex male, with less time to perform the TUG test, compared to the female. Conclusion: Is suggested a correlation between the level of functional and pulmonary capacity of older people, demonstrating the importance of the association of respiratory function training associated to physical exercise.(AU)

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é identificar o impacto da saúde na qualidade de vida (QV) e qualidade da vida profissional (QVT) de professores universitários. Estudo descritivo, transversal, que avaliou 284 professores universitários das áreas da saúde, biologia, agrarias, humanas e exatas. A avaliação ocorreu através da aplicação de um questionário sociodemográfico com questões relacionadas aos dados de saúde, o WHOQOL-bref para avaliar QV e o TQWL-42 para avaliar a qualidade da vida no trabalho (QVT). Verificou-se que os professores que praticam atividade física apresentaram melhor QV e QVT e relataram melhor qualidade de sono, além disso, elas eram menores em professores que usam medicação, que têm uma dieta pobre e têm menos atividades de lazer. Além disso, a idade foi associada a melhor QV. A qualidade de vida e qualidade de vida no trabalho sofrem impacto dos aspectos relacionados à saúde.

Abstract This study aimed to determine the impact of health on the quality of life (QoL) and quality of working life (QWL) of university teachers. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 284 teachersin the areas of health, sciences, human sciences, and agricultural sciences using a sociodemographic questionnaire containing health-related questions, the WHOQOL-bref, and TQWL-42. Results: the findings showed that teachers who practiced physical activity had better QoL,QWL, and sleep quality. Advanced age was also associated with better QoL.Furthermore, QoL and QWL were lower in teachers who used medications, had an imbalanced diet, and did not practice leisure activities. QoL and QWL are influenced by health-related factors.

Espectro de la esquizofrenia en niños y adolescentes / Schizophrenia spectrum in children and adolescents

resumen está disponible en el texto completo

Abstract Introduction: Schizophrenia commonly appears during adolescence or early adulthood, when young people change their habits and start a new social life. Stigma about this disease delays its diagnosis and treatment. While avoiding medical treatment, neuronal losses may occur and the disease may worsen. Schizophrenia may be sending signals to the person, but she or he may not have noticed them. However, mood alterations could already be happening. Schizophrenia is toxic to the brain and with the passage of time, more neuronal losses may occur, which diminish the performance of the brain. Fragmentary thinking affects cognitive processes that may affect behavior and emotions. An early diagnosis makes it possible for medications and therapies to combat the symptoms and brain damage, hence, increasing the quality of life of the patient. Development: All recent studies have found that schizophrenia appears in the families of patients with schizophrenia in early adulthood (EIA), unlike the families of community controls. Adoption and twin studies suggest that genetic factors greatly increase the risk of developing schizophrenia. The diagnosis is based on overt changes in his or her behavior and interrupted thinking in the examination of the mental state. Cognitive delays are common in early-onset schizophrenia. There are deficits in memory, executive functioning, attention and global deficiencies. Children who subsequently develop schizophrenia often have premorbid problems with verbal reasoning, working memory, attention and processing speed. Cognitive impairment usually occurs at the onset of the disease. Premorbid abnormalities are evident in mthe majority of young people who develop schizophrenia. Common premorbid difficulties include social isolation, behavioral disorders, academic difficulties, speech and language problems, and cognitive delays. Because schizophrenia in young people often has an insidious onset, the gradual development of psychotic symptoms in a child with premorbid language delays and social isolation may be difficult to recognize. The diagnosis, according to the Diagnostic Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM 5), should include two or more of the following symptoms: delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, very disorganized or catatonic behavior, negative symptoms. Discussion: The majority of children who report having hallucinations do not meet the criteria for schizophrenia. Normative childhood experiences, including overactive imagination and vivid fantasies, can be misinterpreted as psychosis. Distinguishing formal thought disorder from developmental disorders that affect speech and language function can be a challenge for the clinician. Several environmental risk factors have been associated with the development of schizophrenia but the use of new methods for the detection of genes and anatomical alterations opens the door for the development of new theories. Neuroimaging studies are still limited and cannot yet provide information on brain activity at the molecular level. The relatively small sample sizes, few longitudinal studies and scant population studies in the field remain our only direct access to the living brain. Conclusions: Further studies in schizophrenia beginning in childhood will give us the opportunity to understand it better and will help develop new theories and lines of research regarding neurodevelopmental abnormalities. Unfortunately, the follow-up of a significant number of patients with this disease is difficult since the cases are scarce. Another complication for this kind of studies is the difficulty in making a diagnosis due to the superimposed symptoms with other mental disorders. It will always be of great importance to maintain a good relationship with parents and caregivers, bearing in mind that stigma and discrimination are often associated with the use of mental health services. We must be respectful and sensitive to gender, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic status, age and other background information of the patients to achieve a greater attachment to the therapy and improve prognosis. Currently, the origin of schizophrenia is uncertain, and we still do not have a specific study for its diagnosis, therefore, adequate staff training will continue to be the key in this scenario.

Quality of life and healthy aspects in agribusiness workers / Qualidade de vida e aspectos saudáveis em trabalhadores da agroindústria

to evaluate quality of life and its relationship to lifestyle along with the personal and work characteristics of agro-industry workers from Goias, Brazil. A cross-sectional, descriptive and quantitative study, using the WHOQOL-BREF instrument as well as personal and work data, the data collection occurred in 2014. A bivariate analysis was used to check for associations between the predictor variables and the analyzed outcomes. Variables with p < 0.20 and potential confounding variables: gender, age, income and marital status were included in multiple linear regression models. The perception of the quality of life of workers showed better scores for the social domain and worse for environment, obtaining significance for the factors associated with quality of life: physical activity, education, skin color, work related accidents, income and body mass index. In order to perform the multifactorial analyses, the associated independent factors were confirmed in the regression analysis, with the inclusion of the variables gender, marital status and alcohol consumption. The workers have lifestyles that interfere with the perception of their quality of life. All of the domains evaluated in this study were shown to possess this interference, with prevalence toward a lack of physical activity and the occurrence of work related accidents.

Avaliar qualidade de vida e a relação com o estilo de vida e características pessoais e laborais de trabalhadores da agroindústria de Goiás, Brasil. Estudo transversal, descritivo e quantitativo; utilizou o instrumento WHOQOL-BREF e dados pessoais e laborais; a coleta de dados ocorreu em 2014. Realizou-se análise bivariada para verificar associações entre as variáveis preditoras e os desfechos analisados. Variáveis com p < 0,20 e potenciais variáveis de confusão: sexo, idade, renda e estado civil foram incluídas em modelos de regressão linear múltipla. A percepção da qualidade de vida dos trabalhadores mostrou melhores escores para o domínio social e piores para o ambiental, obtendo significância para os fatores associados à qualidade de vida: atividade física, escolaridade, cor da pele, acidente de trabalho, renda e índice de massa corporal. Para as análises multifatoriais os fatores independentes associados foram confirmados na análise de regressão, com a inclusão das variáveis sexo, estado conjugal e uso de bebida alcoólica. Os trabalhadores possuem estilos de vida que interferem na percepção da qualidade de suas vidas, observadas em todos os domínios avaliados, com prevalência de não realização de atividade física e ocorrência de acidentes de trabalho.

Avaliação da qualidade de vida de médicos clínicos e cirurgiões / Evaluation of quality of life of non-surgical physicians and surgeons / Evaluación de la calidad de vida de médicos clínicos y cirujanos

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a qualidade de vida (QV) dos profissionais da área médica de acordo com a especialidade escolhida (clínica ou cirúrgica). MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal analítico, realizado em 2016, com médicos de clínicas e hospitais de Rio Verde, Goiás, Brasil. Utilizaram-se dois questionários: um sobre aspectos sociodemográficos e outro para avaliação da QV, o World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref (WHOQOL-abreviado). Entregaram-se 287 questionários, sendo 144 respondidos. Dados comparativos dos domínios receberam análise ANOVA, MANOVA, MANCOVA, correlação de Pearson e regressão linear, considerando-se p˂0,05. RESULTADOS: Encontrou-se média de idade de 37,7±10,09 anos e a maioria do sexo masculino (63,1%; n=91). O domínio físico foi, significantemente, melhor avaliado nos valores médios de QV pelo sexo masculino (p=0,002), assim como o domínio meio ambiente (p=0,031). Quando se comparou valores médios da QV e seus domínios de acordo com a atuação clínica e/ou cirúrgica dos médicos, não houve diferença significativa. Ao se comparar médicos plantonistas e não plantonistas, verificou-se que os domínios relação social (p=0,049), meio ambiente (p=0,001) e QV (p=0,024), independentes da carga horária, apresentaram piora no caso dos médicos plantonistas. Quanto maior o tempo de formado, maior a percepção do domínio meio ambiente (p=0,02). Sem diferença significativa quanto à faixa salarial. CONCLUSÃO: Não houve diferença na qualidade de vida global entre os médicos clínicos e cirurgiões avaliados, porém, quando comparado entre o sexo, o masculino obteve desempenho mais satisfatório nos domínios físico e meio ambiente. Evidenciou-se que a faixa salarial não influencia na qualidade de vida desses profissionais.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the quality of life (QOL) of medical practitioners according to the chosen specialty (non-surgical or surgery). METHODS: Cross-sectional analytical study performed in 2016 with physicians working in clinics and hospitals of Rio Verde, Goiás, Brazil. Two questionnaires were used: one on sociodemographic aspects and the second one, for quality of life evaluation, the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF). Out of 287 questionnaires that were delivered, 144 were answered. Comparative data regarding the domains received analysis with use of ANOVA, MANOVA, MANCOVA, Pearson's correlation and linear regression, considering p˂0.05. RESULTS: The findings showed mean age of 37.7±10.09 years and a majority of men (63.1%; n=91). The physical domain was significantly better evaluated in the mean values of QOL by men (p=0.002), as well as the environmental domain (p=0.031). When comparing the mean values of the QOL and their domains according to the clinical and/or surgical practice of the physicians, there was no significant difference. When comparing physicians that work alternative shifts to those working regular day shifts, it was found that the domains of social relationships (p=0.049) and environment (p=0.001), and the global QOL (p=0.024) as well, regardless of the workload, were worsened among the shift workers. The longer the length of time since graduating from college, the greater the perception of the environmental domain (p=0.02). There was no significant difference as for the salary range. CONCLUSION: There was no difference in the global quality of life between the evaluated non-surgical physicians and surgeons. However, when compared by sex, men achieved a more satisfactory performance in terms of the physical and environmental domains. It was evidenced that the salary range does not influence the quality of life of these professionals.

OBJETIVO: Evaluar la calidad de vida (CV) de los profesionales del área médico de acuerdo a la especialidad elegida (la clínica o quirúrgica). MÉTODOS: Estudio transversal analítico realizado en 2016 con médicos de clínicas y hospitales de Rio Verde, Goiás, Brasil. Se utilizaron dos cuestionarios: uno sobre los aspectos sociodemográficos y otro para la evaluación de la CV, el World Health of Quality of Life-Bref (WHOQOL-abreviado). Se han distribuido 287 cuestionarios y 144 han sido contestados. Los datos comparativos de los dominios recibieron análisis ANOVA, MANOVA, MANCOVA, correlación de Pearson y regresión linear, considerándose p˂0,05. RESULTADOS: Se encontró una media de edad de 37,7±10,09 años y la mayoría del sexo masculino (63,1%; n=91). El dominio físico ha sido, significantemente, mejor evaluado para los valores medios de la CV por el sexo masculino (p=0,002) así como el dominio medio ambiente (p=0,031). No hubo diferencia significativa al comparar los valores medios de la CV y sus dominios de acuerdo con la actuación clínica y/o quirúrgica de los médicos. Al comparar los médicos que están de guardia y los que no, se verificó que los dominios relación social (p=0,049) y medio ambiente (p=0,001) y CV (p=0,024), independientes de la carga horaria, se han presentado peor para los médicos de guardia. A más tiempo de la graduación mayor es la percepción del dominio medio ambiente (p=0,02) de parte de los profesionales. No hubo diferencia significativa respecto la franja salarial. CONCLUSIÓN: No hubo diferencia para la calidad de vida global entre los médicos clínicos y cirujanos evaluados, sin embargo, al comparar entre el sexo, el masculino tuvo el desempeño más satisfactorio para los dominios físico y medio ambiente. Se ha evidenciado que la franja salarial no influye en la calidad de vida de eses profesionales.

Síndrome de Lynch: Caracterización genético clínica y epidemiología. Caso clínico / Lynch syndrome: clinical genetic characterization and epidemiology. Clinical case

El cáncer colorrectal hereditario no polipósico (CCHNP), también llamado síndrome de Lynch, es la forma más común de cáncer colorrectal (CCR) hereditario (1). Se trata de un síndrome con gran carga genética y penetrancia, que se presenta en etapas tempranas de la vida, en diversos miembros de la familia (2). Es una enfermedad autosómica dominante debido a la presencia de mutaciones en los genes reparadores de bases desapareadas de ADN, principalmente MSH2 y MLH1, que representan un 90% del total, y con menor frecuencia, MSH6 y PMS2(3). El 80% de los cánceres colorrectales son de aparición esporádica, el 10% son familiares y el restante 5-10%, tienen carácter hereditario. Se presenta el caso de un hombre de 35 años, con múltiples recurrencias y al menos dos generaciones afectados. Se discuten los aspectos más importantes sobre el diagnostico, manejo y consejo genético en estos casos

The obesity is characterized by the higher content of Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), also called Lynch syndrome, is the most common form of hereditary colorectal cancer (CRC) (1). It is a syndrome with a high genetic load and penetrance, which occurs in the early stages of life, in several family members (2). It is an autosomal dominant disease due to the presence of mutations in DNA repair genes, mainly MSH2 and MLH1, which represent 90% of the total, and with less frequency MSH6 and PMS2 (3). The 80% of colorectal cancers are sporadic, 10% are familiar and the 5-10% is hereditary. We present the case of a man of 35 years, with multiple recurrences and at least two generations affected. The most important aspects about the diagnosis, management and genetic counseling in these cases are discussed.

Parâmetros de avaliação e diagnóstico para lesão renal e aplicabilidade na rede pública e privada de saúde / Evaluation and diagnosis parameters for renal injury and applicability in the public and private health network

Introdução: o diagnóstico precoce e a detecção de fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento da lesão renal são difíceis devido a múltiplas etiologias e por ser assintomática, levando ao diagnóstico tardio e alta morbimortalidade. Objetivo: analisar e correlacionar os parâmetros de avaliação e diagnóstico para lesão renal e sua aplicabilidade nas esferas pública e privada de saúde de Rio Verde, Goiás. Método: trata-se de um estudo de campo, transversal e de abordagem quantiqualitativa. Foi feita uma busca ativa de médicos especialistas e não especialistas em Nefrologia e Urologia, na rede pública e privada de saúde de Rio Verde e foram aplicados questionários aos mesmos. Resultados: foram abordados 93 médicos, sendo que 76 médicos concordaram em responder os questionários, constituindo a amostra final do estudo. Destes, a maioria homem, com média entre 6 a 10 anos de formado, 80% com pós-graduação e 33,3% com vínculo exclusivo com o serviço público. A propedêutica médica prevalente aplicada nos pacientes com suspeita de lesão renal baseou-se em marcadores tardios de lesão renal, como a creatinina, a ureia sérica e o exame de urina e fracamente em exames que detectam mais precocemente a lesão renal, como a microalbuminúria e o clearence de creatinina. Não houve diferença significativa entre a propedêutica aplicada na rede pública e privada de saúde de Rio Verde. Conclusão: os dados do presente estudo demonstraram que o diagnóstico da lesão renal é tardio e servem para otimizar as condutas médicas locais, podendo motivar diagnósticos cada vez mais precoces dessas lesões, o que propiciaria redução nos custos e melhoria nos indicadores de saúde do município.

Introduction: early diagnosis and detection of risk factors to renal disease are difficult tasks due to the multiple related factor and because most of them are asymptomatic, leading to late diagnoses and high mobility and mortality. Objective: to analyze and correlate the parameters of evaluation and diagnosis for kidney injury and its applicability in the public and private health spheres of Rio Verde, Goiás. Method: it is a cross-field, quantitative-qualitative study. An active search was made of medical specialists and non specialists in nephrology and Urology, in the public and private health network of Rio Verde, and questionnaires were applied to them. Results: 93 physicians were approached, and 76 physicians agreed to answer the questionnaires, constituting the final sample of the study. Of these, the majority of men, with an average of between 6 and 10 years of education, 80% with a postgraduate degree and 33.3% had an exclusive relationship with the public health service. The prevalent medical evaluation applied to patients suspected of kidney injury was based on late markers, such as creatinine, serum urea, and urinalysis, and poorly on tests that detect early kidney injury such as microalbuminuria and or creatinine clearence. There was no significant difference between the propaedeutics applied in the public and private health network of Rio Verde. Conclusion: data from the present study demonstrated that the diagnosis of kidney injury is late and serves to optimize local medical conducts, which may lead to an earlier diagnosis of these lesions, which would lead to a reduction in costs and an improvement in health indicators in the municipality.

Abstract Introduction: Patients with chronic kidney disease suffer from a decline in quality of life and respiratory function, for various reasons related to this condition. Objective: To verify the influence of intradialytic physiotherapy on the quality of life and respiratory function in chronic renal patients. Methods: The sample was non-probabilistic and consisted of 51 individuals, of both sexes, aged between 30 and 60 years. The WHOQOL-Bref, an evaluation form, the Manovacuometer and Peak Flow were used to detect the impact of the physiotherapeutic intervention before and after an eight-week treatment protocol. Results: There was a difference in the comparison of the general QOL before and after (p = 0.006) the intervention, as well as in the improvement of the maximal forced expiratory flow peak (p = 0.001), the PEmax (p = 0.000), peak forced expiratory flow rate (0.017) and pain (p = 0.006). There was also improvement of edema (p = 0.013) and cramps (p = 0.000). Conclusion: The benefits of intradialytic physiotherapy in improving QOL and respiratory function in chronic kidney patients are explicit.
