ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Human sleep is fundamental for the proper occurrence of organic functions. Hence, the lack of sleep can impair cognitive function, resulting in emotional problems, memory changes and disease onset. However, it is worth noting that sleep is influenced by outside factors, such as drug use. In this sense, the aim of this work is to analyze studies that had as their research object the influence of recreational marijuana on the sleep quality of adults. METHODS: A high-sensitivity research was conducted in databases (Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Medline via Pubmed, Cochrane, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus) using descriptors linked to marijuana and sleep habits. RESULTS: Eighteen studies from four countries were included with a total sample size of 29,858 participants. It was identified that marijuana affects sleep characteristics-such as latency and duration-with these changes being more evident in users who make greater use of marijuana and in those who started premature use. CONCLUSIONS: It was observed that most articles demonstrated a detrimental effect of recreational cannabis use on the quality of sleep in adults.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) is the most prevalent disease among chronic diseases and has been associated with a high prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED). OBJECTIVE: this study aims to analyze research that has as its object of study the sexual activity of patients with HF. METHODS: A high-sensitivity search was performed in databases (PUBMED via MEDLINE, Cochrane, EMBASE, Web of Science, SCOPUS AND CINAHL) using descriptors linked to sexuality and heart failure. RESULTS: Fifteen studies from 7 countries with a total sample of 6244 participants were included. CONCLUSION: It was identified that patients with HF have alterations in their sexual activities, which are more common in males. Among men, it was noticed that the most reported sexual disorder was erectile dysfunction.

Objetivo: Avaliar os desfechos obstétricos entre grávidas adolescentes e adultas. Métodos: Estudo do tipo transversal não randomizado entre gestantes adolescentes e grávidas adultas em uma maternidade pública de Marabá-Pará. Foram associados desfechos obstétricos entre os dois grupos estudados. Para a análise univariada, foi utilizada a distribuição de frequências relativa e absoluta, e para a análise bivariada, foi utilizado cálculo do risco relativo com intervalo de confiança de 95%. Na comparação das variáveis numéricas, foi o utilizado o teste de ANOVA 1. Resultados: Identificou-se uma relação estatisticamente relevante entre a gravidez na adolescência e o estado civil solteiro, menor escolaridade, realização de menos de seis consultas de pré-natal, parto vaginal, episiotomia, baixo peso do recém-nascido ao nascer e menor perímetro cefálico, quando comparadas com as adultas. Conclusão: A gravidez na adolescência se associa com piores desfechos obstétricos relacionados ao peso ao nascer, perímetro cefálico e realização de episiotomias, o que se associa a fatores como a condição emocional e financeira da mãe e com a baixa cobertura da saúde pública na região amazônica.(AU)
Objective: To evaluate obstetric outcomes among pregnant adolescents and adults. Methods: Non-randomized cross-sectional study among pregnant adolescent and adult pregnant women in a public maternity hospital in Marabá-Pará. Obstetric outcomes were associated between the two groups studied. For a univariate analysis a distribution of relative and absolute frequencies was used and for a bivariate analysis a calculation of relative risk with confidence interval of 95% was used. The ANOVA 1 test was used to compare numerical variables. Results: A statistically relevant association was identified between teenage pregnancy and single marital status, less education, less than six prenatal consultations, vaginal delivery, episiotomy, low birth weight at birth and smaller head circumference when compared to adults. Conclusion: Adolescent pregnancy is associated with worse obstetric outcomes related to birth weight, head circumference and episiotomies, which is associated with factors, such as the mother's emotional and financial condition, and the low public health coverage in the Amazon region.(AU)
