A história pregressa da criança e o processo de revelação da adoção, na perspectiva de pais adotivos / The child's history past and the adoption revelation process, from the perspective of adoptive parents / La historia pasada del niño y el proceso de revelación de la adopción, desde la perspectiva de los padres adoptivos

O presente artigo teve como objetivo compreender a história pregressa da criança e o processo de revelação da adoção na perspectiva de pais adotivos. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo, qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória, que utilizou como método o estudo de caso. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com duas mães e um pai adotivos. Os dados foram analisados por meio da análise do conteúdo de Minayo. Observou-se que as histórias das crianças e/ou o acesso dos pais a essas, mostraram-se com questões muito particulares, mediante a disponibilidade dos órgãos de proteção em passar informações sobre esse passado. A maioria dos pais demonstrou interesse em revelar a adoção, entretanto, a questão apareceu vinculada a insegurança, posto que, além de não terem tido acesso a informações sobre a história pregressa de seus filhos, os pais demonstraram dificuldades em lidar com o passado da criança, dados que revelam a importância do psicólogo para auxiliar adotantes na elaboração de conteúdos vinculados a experiência adotiva, dentre eles, suas próprias angustias vinculadas ao medo de perder seu filho, em virtude da camuflagem: família biológica x família adotiva.

It was observed that the children's stories and/or the parents' access to them, showed themselves with very particular issues, due to the availability of the protection organs, associated with the cases, to pass on information about this past. Most parents showed interest in revealing the adoption, however, the issue was linked to insecurity, since, in addition to not having access to information about their children's previous story, parents showed difficulties in dealing with the child's past, data that reveal the importance of the psychologist to assist adopters in the elaboration of contents linked to the adoptive experience, among them, yours anxieties linked to the fear of losing their child, due to the camouflage: biological family x adoptive family.

Buscamos entender cómo los padres adoptivos significan la historia pasada de los niños y su revelación. Se trata de una investigación de campo cualitativa, descriptiva y exploratoria, que utilizó el estudio de caso como método. Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas con dos madres y padres adoptivos. Los datos fueron analizados a la luz del análisis del contenido de Minayo. Se observó que las historias de los niños y/o el acceso de los padres a ellas, se mostraron con problemáticas muy particulares, debido a la disponibilidad de los órganos de protección, asociados a los casos, para transmitir información sobre este pasado.

Incidence and risk factors of gestational diabetes mellitus in antenatal mothers in Goa, India

Background: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) accounts for almost 90% of all pregnancies complicated by diabetes. Its prevalence in the Indian population ranges from 5.5% to 11.5 %.Methods: The present study was undertaken to assess the incidence of GDM among antenatal mothers admitted in Goa Medical College for a period of 18 months and also to study the risk factors associated with GDM amongst such cases.Results: Present study revealed that among 7717 antenatal mothers who were admitted and delivered in our Hospital, 424 women were diagnosed with GDM.

Advancing maternal age, rising parity, obesity, family history of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and past history of GDM were among the risk factors found to be significantly associated with GDM.Conclusions: The incidence of GDM in present study population was 5.49%. Advancing maternal age, maternal obesity, family history of DM and past history of GDM were found to be important determinants of GDM.

The impact of water immersion recovery to the neck after short distance swimming on pulmonary functions in individuals with the past history of bronchial asthma / 体力科学

<p>The purpose of this study was to assess an impact of water immersion recovery after short distance swimming on the recovery process in pulmonary functions in individuals with the past history of bronchial asthma (PHA). Eleven Japanese healthy males with PHA (23 years) volunteered to perform two bouts of a 25-m maximal front crawl session in an indoor pool. The two bouts were separated by either 10-min of recovery on the land (L-session) or the same condition with water immersion to the neck (W-session), using a counterbalanced crossover design. Water temperature was 30 °C. Forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV_1.0) (%predicted) were measured according to the following time course; at baseline (REST), water immersion to the neck (WIN) before the swimming session, after 5-min (REC-5) and 10-min (REC-10) recovery with the assessment of dyspnea sensation (ADS) at the same time point. %FVC and %FEV_1.0 at WIN, REC-5 and REC-10 in the W-session were significantly lower than those REST. A similar reduction was observed at WIN in the L-session, and %FEV_1.0 at REC-5 was significantly different from those REST. The subjects had higher ADS at REC-5 in both sessions compared with those REST. %FVC and %FEV_1.0 at REC-5 and REC-10 in W-session were significantly lower than those at REC-5 and REC-10 in L-session. These results indicates a negative impact of not only water immersion recovery but also recovery on the land after short distance swimming on pulmonary function in individuals with PHA.</p>

13-5 Balneotherapy and rehabilitation: differences, similarities and synergies / 日本温泉気候物理医学会雑誌

  Balneotherapy is defined as a group of treatment modalities using natural remedies. The term also is used to describe complex multimodal interventions for the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of (chronic) health conditions. The use of the term rehabilitation also is dual: on one hand it is used for a health strategy to overcome disability and to improve functioning. On the other hand it is defined as a set of measures used in multidisciplinary teams. Thus, the definitions of balneotherapy and rehabilitation are different but have some overlap too. It needs to be discussed, how balneotherpy can be used for rehabilitation of chronic health conditions and what the evidence of the added value is. Secondly, the tradition of comprehensive treatments in health resorts should be analysed using the criteria of rehabilitation measures and also here the added value must be demonstrated.

The age distribution of the respondents was comparable admittably to that of all Beppu citizens registered over 64 years old. Age adjusted, hot spring user showed less rate of some diseases. The results showed that daily hot spring bathing was associated with past history of less diseases of some, such as ischemic heart disease, apoplexy, hypertension, bronchial asthma, diabetes mellitus, chronic renal disease, and depression. As for this tendency, the difference was seen among men and women (Figure 1). Moreover, the medical effect of the hot spring had the higher one where a hot spring use period is longer. Conclusion: This observation suggests that daily hot spring bathing contributes to lessen the susceptibility of some of life style associated diseases.
