Introduction: chemotherapy can contribute to the impairment of nutritional status and increased fatigue. Objective: the aim of this study is evaluate the influence of chemotherapy on nutritional status and oncological fatigue. Methods: this is a study with patients undergoing chemotherapy. Data collection was performed in the first chemotherapy session, in the middle and in the last session. Results: the final sample comprised 20 patients. There was an increase in the level of fatigue (p<0.05), and a difference between the percentage of weight loss (p<0.05). A direct relationship was found between fatigue and nutritional status (R= 0.484; p= 0.031). Conclusion: fatigue increase during chemotherapy and nutritional status worsens throughout the sessions, with a direct relationship between fatigue and nutritional status.

Introduction: the nutritional status and the growth achieved by the newborn until birth have been used as a marker/indicator of early risks of morbidity and mortality. Even though BMI is a good marker of adiposity and is commonly used in older children and adults, there are still gaps in knowledge and there are few studies on the behavior of BMI according to gestational age. Objective: to analyze the Body Mass Index (BMI) at the birth of late preterm newborns (34th to 36th week of gestational age) and early-term newborns (37th to 38th week of gestational age) and according to gestational age. Methods: this is a descriptive, analytical, and quantitative study with 2,486 newborns, developed from the project’s database “Biometric characteristics at birth, of young adult women’s babies, in a municipality with a high human development index.” After collection, data consistency was verified. The analysis evaluated measures of central tendency and dispersion of values, in addition to correlations and regressions of their evolution according to gestational age. Results: BMI scores Z distribution wasn’t different between male and female late preterm newborns as in early-term newborns. The same was observed concerning gestational ages. In terms of absolute BMI values, it was observed that late preterm newborns had a lower BMI (12.6 kg/m2) than early-term newborns (13.6 kg/m2). However, considering their gestational age, late preterm newborns were proportionally bigger than early-term newborns. A proportionally higher rate of BMI growth was observed in late preterm newborns, with a tendency to slow down in early-term newborns. As for weight gain, from the 37th week of gestational age, it tends to decrease compared to the reference values. Conclusion: Regarding the BMI reference values, early-term and late-preterm newborns are equivalent. Late-preterm newborns have the same BMI Z-scores as reference values as early-term newborns.

Introduction: the COVID-19 pandemic has brought socioeconomic, behavioral and clinical losses that can compromise the nutritional status of children, and studies on the subject are essential. Objective: to assess the Body Mass Index of preschool children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: the data in this study comes from a cohort of children created to prospectively investigate determinants of growth and development in the period from birth to 1,000 days of life in a municipality in the interior of Paraíba, Brazil. For this study, data were collected from children at 4 years of age examining repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on maternal and child life. Data on the children (biological characteristics, health conditions, food consumption, screen time, behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic, satisfaction with school and home life) and their mothers (overweight/obesity, sociodemographic characteristics, childcare, attitudes and practices related to the COVID-19 pandemic) were included, and the Body Mass Index-for-age average (Z-score) was compared using hierarchical multiple linear regression. Results: not breastfeeding in the first hour of life (p = 0.046) and regular consumption of filled cookies, sweets or candies (p = 0.042) were the characteristics of the children that represented the highest means of the outcome. Children whose mothers were diagnosed as overweight/obese (p = 0.034), who had not completed high school (p = 0.042), who had difficulty caring for the child and guiding them in health aspects (p = 0.010), as well as those whose mothers needed psychological care (p = 0.047) and mental health medication (p = 0.036) during the COVID-19 pandemic, also had higher mean scores. Conclusion: maternal mental health (psychological care and use of medication) during the COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on the child’s nutritional status.

Introduction: faced with the challenge of training dental surgeons who are fit for the job market, especially the Unified Health System, the National Curriculum Guidelines were established in 2002 with the aim of organizing the curricula of undergraduate dentistry courses, which were updated in 2021. Objective: a comparative analysis of the 2002 and 2021 National Curriculum Guidelines for dentistry courses, verifying their proposals’ theoretical and practical similarities and differences. Methods: this is a qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory study, using documentary analysis of these guidelines. Results: from the documentary analysis, six analytical categories were identified: Profile of the graduate; General and specific competencies; Contents for the training of the dental surgeon; Supervised curricular internship and course completion work; Pedagogical project and curricular organization; and Assessment. The 2021 National Curriculum Guidelines is more detailed and complete than the 2002 and strengthens mechanisms for improving and adapting dentistry courses in Brazil. Conclusion: progress has been made with the inclusion of aspects such as permanent training for teachers, humanization in relationships, interprofessional and entrepreneurship, with the aim of providing training that meets the health needs of the Brazilian population.

Introduction: chest physiotherapy, airway clearance techniques, and physical exercise are associated with better outcomes in cystic fibrosis, but adherence to these recommendations remains a challenge. Objective: to assess adherence to chest physiotherapy, airway clearance techniques, and physical exercise by children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis and analyze the factors related to adherence. Methods: retrospective study of children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis from a pediatric referral center in Brazil. Data were collected from electronic records of the multidisciplinary team responsible for caring for these patients at the referral center. Results: the sample included all 83 patients registered at the referral center, with a mean age of 7.88 ± 4.88 years. Among them, 28.9% did not have weekly chest physiotherapy, 66.3% did not practice physical exercise regularly, and only 38.6% practiced airway clearance techniques from 6 to 7 times a week. Higher adherence to airway clearance techniques was associated with higher mean age (p<0.01) and correlated with FEV1 (r=-0.39; p=0.03), FEF25-75% (r =-0.36; p=0.02), FEV1/FVC (r =-0.43; p=0.01) and lower mean Shwachman-Kulczycki Score (r=-0.34; p<0.01). Higher physical exercise adherence was associated with a higher mean age (p<0.01). Individuals using public financing of physiotherapy services had a lower Shwachman-Kulczycki Score (p=0.02) than those using non-public services. The metropolitan region had a higher percentage of individuals using non-public services than other regions (p<0.01). Conclusion: adherence to chest physiotherapy, airway clearance techniques and physical exercise was lower than recommendations. Airway clearance techniques and physical exercise adherence increased with age, and airway clearance techniques adherence was associated with the high severity of disease. These results suggest that patients only increase adherence when they get older and the disease worsens, highlighting the need for strategies to increase adherence early.

Introduction: Systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite the difficulty in diagnosing SAH in the early stages, the rapid detection and management of SAH are essential in preventing the development of target organ injuries. Newer technologies such as metabolomics have been revealed as promising alternatives for SAH diagnoses. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate, through a systematic review, the metabolomic profile of individuals with and without SAH. Methods: This review followed the PRISMA guidelines on reporting items. It analyses articles selected from the EMBASE and MEDLINE databases that compares metabolites in a hypertensive group with a non-hypertensive group. Results: The differences that reached statistical significance were a higher prevalence of lipids and lactic acid in the hypertensive group, as well as a reduction in methionine. Conclusion: Future research should be conducted to establish a possible clinical implication to this metabolite alteration, by linking it to a potential target organ injury for SAH, such as atherosclerosis, renal failure, retinopathy our ventricular hypertrophy.

Introduction: there is evidence that multidisciplinary interventions are an efficient approach to achieving weight loss and other health-related goals. However, dropout rates of these programs are high among adolescents. The suggestion is that understanding the motivation of individuals to participate in these projects is fundamental to developing strategies for permanence and, consequently, promoting better results. Objective: the main aim of this study was to describe the motivations of overweight adolescents participating in a multidisciplinary health promotion project. Methods: this qualitative study was conducted from March to July 2021 using the Bardin content analysis technique. The tool used for data collection was the semi-structured interview, analyzed means by the software QSR NVivo 11 by grouping the speech into clusters. These, in turn, were evaluated in three categories: (1) motivation, (2) food, and (3) physical exercise. Results: the age of the participants was 13.8 ± 2.4 years old, with body mass index of 31.8 ± 8.5 kg/m². Regarding family income, 41.66% had a monthly payment of 3 to 6 minimum wages. Regarding parents’ educational level, 70.83% of mothers had completed higher education, while 29.16% had completed high school. According to the respondent’s answers, weight loss was the greatest motivation to participate in a multidisciplinary obesity treatment program. In category 2, it was observed that adolescents associated the act of eating with feelings such as anxiety and nervousness. In category 3, the impact of the pandemic was found under the modalities of physical exercise practiced. Conclusion: the results describe the motivation of overweight adolescents to participate in a multidisciplinary program, in addition to elucidating participants’ perception of their health and related habits, strategies for health promotion, and consequent improvement of the quality of life of these individuals.

Introduction: In chronic diseases, QoL depends on several factors such as the type and duration of the disease, its treatment and side effects, the severity of symptoms, medication effects, patient age, limitations and self-care capacity. In chronic kidney disease it has also become a measure of health outcome.Objective: assess the association between QoL and socioeconomic, lifestyle and clinical factors of patients on HD.Methods: This is a cross-sectional epidemiological census, carried out among 1,024 patients on hemodialysis from all hemodialysis units at the metropolitan region in the Espirito Santo’s, Brazil . Sociodemographic, lifestyle and clinical characteristics data were used. QoL was assessed using the Short-Form health Survey-36 (SF-36). Data were analysed by multiple linear regression.Results: The best QoL was represented by mental health (72.16) and the worst QoL by the physical aspect (26.78). After multiple linear regression, predictors of QoL were identified, with emphasis on males, a predictor of better QoL for 5 of the 8 domains and the summaries of the physical and mental components. Education, associated with 5 domains, gives greater reference to income. Physical activity was a predictor of 7 of the 8 QoL domains and the summary of the physical component. Among the clinical variables, the number of complications is associated with 7 of the 8 domains and summaries of the physical and mental components.Conclusion: Male sex is highlighted as a predictor of better physical and mental health and elderly people with better mental health, despite the impairment in physical health. The absence of physical activity is associated with worse physical and mental health. Clinically, having 3 or more intradialytic complications was associated with worse physical and mental QoL.
引言在慢性疾病中,生活质量取决于多种因素,如疾病的类型和持续时间、治疗方法和副作用、症状的严重程度、药物治疗效果、患者年龄、限制因素和自我护理能力。在慢性肾脏病中,它也成为衡量健康结果的一个指标。目的:评估 QoL 与 HD 患者的社会经济、生活方式和临床因素之间的关系:这是一项横断面流行病学普查,对象是巴西圣埃斯皮里图大区所有血液透析单位的 1024 名血液透析患者。调查使用了社会人口学、生活方式和临床特征数据。QoL采用短式健康调查-36(SF-36)进行评估。数据采用多元线性回归分析:结果:心理健康代表了最好的 QoL(72.16),身体健康代表了最差的 QoL(26.78)。经过多元线性回归,确定了 QoL 的预测因素,重点是男性,男性在 8 个领域中的 5 个领域以及身体和心理部分的总和中都是 QoL 较好的预测因素。教育与 5 个领域相关,但更多地与收入相关。体育锻炼是 8 个 QoL 领域中 7 个领域的预测因素,也是身体部分的预测因素。在临床变量中,并发症的数量与 8 个领域中的 7 个领域以及身体和精神部分的总结相关:结论:尽管老年人的身体健康状况不佳,但男性是身心健康和精神健康状况较好的预测因素。缺乏体育锻炼与身心健康状况较差有关。在临床上,出现 3 种或更多椎管内并发症与身体和心理的 QoL 较差有关。
