OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of the variables network of relationships, neuroticism, and coping strategies on life satisfaction of HIV positive youths, and to present a descriptive profile of the sample for the studied variables. METHODS: Forty-five HIV positive youths from three health care centers located in the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre, whose mean age was 18.7 years (standard deviation = 2.7), participated in this study. The following assessment instruments were used: a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Multidimensional Life Satisfaction Scale for Adolescents, the Network of Relationships Inventory, the Coping Strategies Inventory and the Neuroticism Factorial Scale. Data obtained with these instruments were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance and covariance and linear multiple regression. RESULTS: Young HIV carriers present high life satisfaction, although there is a decrease in satisfaction with friendships. As far as coping strategies are concerned, the means between coping strategies were similar. High levels of neuroticism were evidenced in the sample, especially in terms of depression, which was the best predictor of global life satisfaction for the sample. CONCLUSIONS: We were able to identify the main difficulties of this group of HIV carriers, and, based on these findings, it will be possible to develop effective intervention programs.

"Teoria da mente" e o nome que tem sido dado a habilidade que os seres humanos tem de inferir os estados mentais ou as intencoes de outros seres humanos. Tais habilidades fazem parte de um grupo maior de capacidades cognitivas, especificamente relacionadas ao comportamento social, denominado cognicao social. A esquizofrenia e um transtorno mental que costuma cursar grave comprometimento do funcionamento social. Existem varios estudos correlacionando transtornos das habilidades teoria da mente e sintomas da esquizofrenia com resultados ainda controversos. Muitos autores acreditam que os sintomas da esquizofrenia podem ser diretamente compreendidos a luz de alteracoes das habilidades teoria da mente, enquanto outros argumentam que as alteracoes dessas habilidades observadas em esquizofrenicos sao reflexo de seu comprometimento cognitivo geral. Ainda existem poucos estudos relacionando o impacto do uso de antipsicoticos sobre a cognicao social e habilidades teoria da mente e eles apresentam problemas metodologicos.

INTRODUCTION: The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) is a screening instrument for autism that can be applied to parents of children aged 18-24 months. It is self-applicable, simple, and has high sensibility and specificity. It was developed in English and it is still not available in Portuguese. In the scientific literature there is no agreement as to the translation technique, cross-cultural adaptation being one of the possibilities. The objective of the present study was to translate the M-CHAT scale from English into Brazilian Portuguese to scan early autism, preserving cross-cultural equivalence. METHOD: After obtaining permission from the author of the scale, its translation was performed, followed by its back-translation; evaluation of reference equivalence; first pretest in a sample of the target population; evaluation of general equivalence; evaluation by specialists in infantile autism; development of a preliminary version; second pretest with parents of autistic children treated in a Pediatric Ambulatory of the Brazilian Public Health System; and development of its final version. RESULTS: Evaluation of reference equivalence showed that 78% of the questions were similar, 13% approximate, and 9% different. Of the 20 people interviewed in the first pretest, nine understood 100% of the questions. The second pretest demonstrated good acceptance and understanding by the target population, with no complaints in 70% of the sample. After detailed evaluations, the final version was developed. CONCLUSION: The study makes the Portuguese version of the M-CHAT scale available, which was considered adequate by specialists and understood by the population.

INTRODUCTION: Drug abuse is a major public health problem. Telephone interventions have been used as a treatment method. This study aimed at describing the sociodemographic profile, consumption pattern and dependence on psychoactive substances of individuals seeking help in a telephone service on drugs of abuse. METHODS: Data were collected by previously trained consultants using an electronic protocol throughout the first year of the service. Instruments were applied to find the sociodemographic profile, consumption pattern and dependence of drug users. Descriptive statistics was used to estimate distribution of variables, and the data are presented as frequencies. RESULTS: Throughout the study period there were 28,257 calls, of which 7,956 were included. In total there was higher prevalence of women, students, single individuals, older than 35 years, with incomplete primary education and family income lower than five minimum wages. Men aged 18-25 years were prevalent in the sample. The most frequently used drugs were tobacco, cannabis, alcohol and cocaine. Tobacco use was similar for both genders. Males used more illicit drugs. Most drug users were dependent, and men had higher rates of addiction to tobacco and solvents. CONCLUSIONS: These results outline the profile of individuals who seek care through a telephone service, showing the importance of these services for the population and guiding preventive actions.

Caros Editores, Doenças cardiovasculares são consideradas um problema de saúde pública, sendo responsáveis por 30% das mortes no mundo1. Diabetes, hipertensão arterial, tabagismo e o surgimento de novos fatores de risco (aumento da circunferência abdominal e dislipidemia), contribuem reconhecidamente para o risco cardiovascular global2. A população adulta americana apresenta cerca de 66% de sobrepeso e 34% de obesidade3. No Brasil, a prevalência é de aproximadamente 32% de sobrepeso e 8% de obesidade4. Conseqüentemente, especialistas têm desenvolvido novas condutas para tratar/prevenir essa condição. Vem crescendo a atenção no potencial terapêutico das substâncias que interferem no sistema endocanabinóide5, devido ao seu papel no controle da ingestão alimentar e balanço energético. Este sistema age em áreas específicas do cérebro, como o hipotálamo, e em tecidos periféricos (adipócitos, hepatócitos, trato gastrointestinal e músculo esquelético). Portanto, drogas (rimonabanto) que interferem em sua ação são promissoras no tratamento de diversas doenças, incluindo a obesidade, dislipidemia, resistência à insulina e aterosclerose6. O rimonabanto tem aprovação no Brasil7 e na Europa, mas não nos Estados Unidos8. Grandes estudos comprovaram a eficácia do rimonabanto, como o RIO-Europe, RIO-North America, RIO-Lipids e RIO-Diabetes. Um ano de tratamento com rimonabanto 20 mg/dia, juntamente com uma dieta hipocalórica e promoção de atividade física, produziram redução no peso, na circunferência da cintura, e melhoras no colesterol HDL, triglicerídeos, glicose e resistência à insulina. Apesar de o rimonabanto ser bem tolerado, pode apresentar efeitos colaterais como alterações no humor, depressão, ansiedade, tonturas, náuseas e, até mesmo, ideações suicidas9. Carta aos editores

INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to evaluate depressive symptoms in climacteric women using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) from the National Institute of Mental Health (USA). METHOD: This is a cross-sectional study carried out in a gynecological outpatient unit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, including 151 climacteric women between 40 and 65 years of age. The CES-D was used to assess depressive symptoms and a structured interview obtained sociodemographic, clinical and gynecological data. A score above 15 points on the CES-D was considered as a cut-point for depressive state. RESULTS: Mean CES-D score was 9.2 points (standard deviation = 9.0). Insomnia, sadness and despondency had the highest scores. There was no significant association between CES-D scores and the climacteric period, sociodemographic, clinical or gynecological characteristics, except for women with psychiatric symptoms, history of depression or on antidepressants (p = 0.000). In 32 women (21%) who scored > 15 on the CES-D, 72% had already suffered from a depressive state. Women with no history of depressive disorder scored more frequently above 15 when they were perimenopausal. CONCLUSION: This sample of climacteric women, from a non-specialized mental or menopausal health service, had low mean scores on the CES-D, with the item insomnia being the most highly scored. History of a previous depressive episode, but not the woman's climacteric period, was a risk factor for higher scores on the CES-D. In the group of women with no history of depression, the perimenopausal women had more scores above the cut-point. This fact may suggest that the perimenopause is a period of higher susceptibility to new onset of depressive episodes.

This study includes the standardization of 240 new stimuli in the Brazilian norms for the International Affective Picture System (IAPS), an instrument of affective images widely used in research, and confirms the validity of the categories of "pleasant," "neutral" and "unpleasant" pictures. A comparison was performed of the scores of affective ratings between the male and female samples of university students (179 males, and 269 females), who assessed the affective content of photographs in terms of valence, arousal and dominance using the Self Assessment Manikin (SAM) scale. The methods were the same used in a study conducted for the American norms.

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life of undergraduate students from a nursing course in a public university in the State of Parana, Brazil, correlating with sociodemographic variables, and to compare undergraduate students from first and fourth years. METHOD: This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. Thirty-four students (89.5%) from the first year and 33 (100%) from the fourth year participated. They answered the WHOQOL-bref, a questionnaire designed by the World Health Organization, in addition to some additional information. RESULTS: The students were predominantly female, young and single, with per capita family income up to one minimum wage, coming from other cities and living with the family or with housemates. Considering the entire sample, the highest quality of life mean score was for the physical domain (72.7 + 13.1), and the lowest for the environment domain (60.7 + 12.7). Correlation with sociodemographic variables showed that only gender had significant correlation with quality of life. The highest mean scores were for male students in the physical (79.9 + 9.8) and psychological (77.6 + 6.3) domains. There was significant difference between age and income in the comparison between students from first and fourth years, the profile of first-year students being younger and with low income than students from the fourth year. In spite of this, no significant difference in quality of life domains was found. CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that nursing students need attention in relation to the quality of life, especially women in the physical and psychological aspects.
