Changes in ventilatory mechanics and their consequent pulmonary complications are common after surgical procedures, particularly in cardiac surgery (CS), and may be associated with both preoperative history and surgical circumstances. This study aims to compare ventilatory mechanics in the moments before and after cardiac surgery (CS), describing how pulmonary complications occurred. An experimental, uncontrolled study was conducted, of the before-and-after type, and with a descriptive and analytical character. It was carried out in a private hospital in the city of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, and involved 30 adult patients subjected to CS. In addition to clinical and epidemiological variables, minute volume (VE), respiratory rate (RR), tidal volume (VT), forced vital capacity (FVC), maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), and peak expiratory flow (PEF) were also recorded. Data were collected in the following moments: preoperative (PRE-OP) period, immediate postoperative (IPO) period, and 1st postoperative day (1st POD). The sample was aged 48.1 ± 11.8 years old and had a body mass index of 25.5 ± 4.9 kg m-2; 60% of the patients remained on mechanical ventilation for less than 24 hours (17.5 [8.7-22.9] hours). There was a significant reduction in VT, FVC, MIP and PEF when PRE-OP versus IPO, and PRE-OP versus 1st POD were compared (p < 0.05). There were no significant changes between IPO and the 1st POD. The highest incidence of pulmonary complications involved pleural effusion (50% of the patients). This study showed that patients subjected to CS present significant damage to ventilatory parameters after the surgery, especially in the IPO period and on the 1st POD. It is possible that the extension of this ventilatory impairment has led to the onset of postoperative pulmonary complications.
外科手术后，尤其是心脏手术(CS)，通气力学的改变及其随之而来的肺部并发症很常见，可能与术前病史和手术情况有关。本研究旨在比较心脏手术(CS)前后的通气力学，描述肺部并发症的发生。进行了一项实验，无控制的研究，前后类型，并具有描述性和分析性。该研究在巴西巴伊亚州萨尔瓦多市的一家私人医院进行，涉及30名接受CS治疗的成年患者。除临床和流行病学变量外，还记录了分气量(VE)、呼吸速率(RR)、潮气量(VT)、用力肺活量(FVC)、最大吸气压力(MIP)和呼气峰流量(PEF)。数据收集于以下时刻:术前(PRE-OP)期、术后即刻(IPO)期和术后第1天(第1 POD)。年龄48.1±11.8岁，体质指数25.5±4.9 kg m-2;60%的患者机械通气持续时间小于24小时(17.5[8.7-22.9]小时)。术前与IPO比较，术前与第1次POD比较，VT、FVC、MIP和PEF均显著降低(p < 0.05)。首次公开募股与第一次公开募股之间没有显著变化。肺部并发症发生率最高的是胸腔积液(50%的患者)。本研究显示，CS患者术后通气参数明显受损，尤其是在IPO期和第1次POD。通气功能损害的扩大可能导致术后肺部并发症的发生。

This study aimed at assessing the physical activity level, heart rate and the salivary cortisol level of football society players. The sample consisted of 19 male masters football players with an average age of 56.7 ± 3.9 years. The long form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and Polar® heart rate monitors were used as instruments, in addition to Salivette® tubes to measure salivary cortisol. Data analysis was performed by using the repeated measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with Bonferroni post hoc test, and Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient. The results showed that the salivary cortisol concentration indicated an index of 1.97 ng/ml at the beginning of the match; 40 minutes after that these values increased to 8.00 ng/ml, and 60 minutes after the match had started they reached 8.40 ng/ml. Considering the post-match moment, a moderate and positive correlation between the salivary cortisol concentration and heart rate (average and maximum) was seen. In conclusion, the physical effort expended during football Society practice needs to be monitored due to the high heart rate and high increase in the salivary cortisol concentration of this age group.

Assess the quality of life of family caregivers of children with microcephaly. This is an analytical cross-sectional study developed in Teresina-PI, carried out in a rehabilitation center. For data collection a form was used to investigate the sociodemographic profile and the Medical Outcomes Study 36 - Item Short-Form Health Survey instrument to assess quality of life. For data analysis, we used the statistical tests Student's t, ANOVA, U- Mann Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis. The descriptive analysis of the results showed that the functional capacity domain presented the most impairment by obtaining the highest score. The dimensions vitality and pain showed the lowest averages, representing the less affected domains. The associations between the sociodemographic characteristics and the domains of quality of life were significant between the variables marital status and pain, education and the domains vitality and emotional aspect, and between employment status and general health status. The quality of life of family caregivers presented losses related to the change of routine and the difficulties faced on a daily basis, highlighting the importance of covering the health of caregivers within the assistance offered to children with special needs, contributing to the well-being of those who care and consequently of those who are cared for.

The study sought to investigate the epidemiological profile of congenital syphilis in a health region in the State of Ceará, in the period from 2015 to 2019. This is a descriptive epidemiological study, with a quantitative approach, with secondary data collected through the Health System. Information on Notifiable Diseases and Live Birth Information System. There were a total of 248 cases: 65 cases in 2015, 50 in 2016, 45 in 2017, 51 in 2018 and 37 in 2019. The incidence of congenital syphilis was: 8.1 (2015), 6.1 (2016), 5.1 (2017), 5.3 (2018) and 3.9 (2019). In 62.9% of cases from all the years, women were between 20 and 34 years old and in 45.5% of cases they had less than eight years of educational instruction. 57.2% never had a miscarriage, 63.3% had vaginal deliveries and 59.2% had full-term deliveries. Most women received prenatal care (95.9%). In 49.5% of cases, the diagnosis of maternal syphilis occurred during prenatal care. Only 67 (27%) of the pregnant women were treated properly and only 52 (29%) had their partners treated. The study shows a flaw in prenatal care with low effectiveness of the prevention actions, determining factors in the control of congenital syphilis.

This study aims to analyze the scientific production of Nutrition courses on knowledge core Food and Nutrition in Collective Health (FNCH) and its associations with institutional characteristics and advisor’s academic degree. A bibliometric study was performed on 195 final projects of five nutrition courses in Rio Grande do Norte state (Brazil) from the year 2013. Information related to higher education institutions and academic degree of advisor were collected. From the reading of sections of final projects, screening was performed on final project involvement with knowledge core FNCH, being collected general methodological characteristics, classification on sub cores of FNCH, and theme approached. Pearson’s chi-square test was used with a significance level at p-value ≤ 0.05 and 95% confidence interval in a univariate and bivariate way. From the total of analyzed final projects, 54 (27.7%) were related to knowledge core FNCH, prevailing final projects with a quantitative approach (61%), presented as scientific articles (57%), and performed in public services (45%). There was an emphasis on the sub-core of Nutritional Epidemiology (63%) [p < 0.001], with the theme Nutritional Assessment (57%) [p < 0.001]. There was no significant association between FNCH final projects proportion and institutional characteristics or advisor’s academic degree. Thinking about nutritionists’ practice, limitations were identified on FNCH scientific production, with an emphasis on nutritional diagnosis researches, with less involvement in public health policies and human and social sciences.

The liver as an organ is important for the metabolism of drugs and toxins. However, it is not immune from environmental insults. Exposure of liver cells to carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) results in the generation of tricholoromethyl radicals, which induce liver toxicity. This study aims at investigating the ameliorative effect of the cinnamon aqueous extract (CAE) against CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity in male albino rats. Hepatotoxicity was induced in rats through the intraperitoneal administration of 0.5 mL kg-1 body weight of CCl4. The analyses of the results obtained showed significant reduction in the levels of serum biochemical markers for 400 and 600 mg kg-1 bw of CAE protected rats as compared with CCl4 group. In addition, CAE administration reversed liver tissue damaged via increased antioxidants markers. Histopathological examination of CAE treatment on rats showed improved changes to the liver damage caused by CCl4 with no evidence of steatosis and inflammation. This result hence suggests that CAE has marked hepatoprotective and healing activities against CCl4-induced liver damage and could serve as a suitable candidate in drug discovery for the treatment of liver toxicity.
肝脏是药物和毒素代谢的重要器官。然而，它也不能幸免于环境的损害。肝细胞暴露于四氯化碳(CCl4)会产生三氯甲基自由基，从而引起肝毒性。本研究旨在探讨肉桂水提物(CAE)对ccl4诱导的雄性白化大鼠肝毒性的改善作用。通过腹腔注射0.5 mL kg-1体重CCl4诱导大鼠肝毒性。结果分析显示，与CCl4组相比，400和600 mg kg-1 bw CAE保护大鼠血清生化指标水平显著降低。此外，CAE通过增加抗氧化剂标记物逆转肝组织损伤。CAE治疗大鼠的组织病理学检查显示，CCl4引起的肝损伤改善，无脂肪变性和炎症的证据。因此，这一结果表明CAE对ccl4诱导的肝损伤具有显著的肝保护和愈合活性，可以作为治疗肝毒性药物的合适候选药物。

To evaluate the nutritional profile of cancer patients treated at an oncology center in South Brazil. This is a descriptive, exploratory and sectional study that was developed in a process that involved 100 patients aged between 18 and 75 years old, suffering from cancer. The anthropometric variables studied were weight, height, Body Mass Index (BMI), arm circumference (AC), arm muscle circumference (AMC), triceps skinfold (TSF) and corrected arm muscle area (cAMA). For subjective nutritional assessment, we used the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA). Nearly half of the patients evaluated had a critical need for nutritional intervention. There was a statistically significant association between cAMA and marital status, age and gender; between AC and age, gender and staging; between AMC and staging; between BMI and marital status and age; and between TSF and marital status. Patients diagnosed with IV stage had the lowest values for nutritional variables. There was no significant association between nutritional status of patients obtained by the PG-SGA instrument and sociodemographic characteristics. Malnutrition should be diagnosed as soon as possible, aiming at early intervention and improving survival and quality of life. Therefore, early nutritional assessment in cancer patients is required, combining subjective and objective methods.

Reflect on the concepts that go through the history of people with disabilities, in the context of their rights, as the processes involving their education is an emerging theme. The objective of this work was to understand the conceptions about health of university professors based on the Bioecological Theory of Human development. This is an exploratory case study research with a mixed approach carried out with professors from a public university in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. The method of data collection was the interview and the self-administered questionnaire. 73 professors and 6 interview participants from different fields of knowledge, selected at random participated answering to the questionnaire. It was observed that the systems that constitute the organizational basis of the participants' lives were similar and that their life stories, their culture, the media and the relationships they establish at work are factors that influence their conceptions about health and about the relationship established with people with disabilities in Higher Education. The participants' conception of health, however, still runs through the biomedical model, but has been undergoing a progressive change. It is concluded that the conceptions about health are linked to life history, when then one starts to subjectivity. Combined with the contextual issues of a particular place, the concept of health has been progressively detaching itself from the concept of disease.

Combined with the contextual issues of a particular place, the concept of health has been progressively detaching itself from the concept of disease.","PeriodicalId":42839,"journal":{"name":"ACTA SCIENTIARUM-HEALTH SCIENCES","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91213854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study sought to retrospectively assess the relationship between intra and extra-abdominal injuries in polytrauma patients undergoing laparotomy at the Regional University Hospital of Maringá between 2017 and 2018.This study was based on 111 electronic medical records from the Brazilian public health system “SUS”, admitted to the hospital due to trauma and undergoing laparotomy, comparing two groups: abdominal injury without extra-abdominal injury (WoEI) and abdominal injury with extra-abdominal injury (WiEI).A total of 111 medical records were analyzed, 57 from 2017 and 54 from 2018. Of these 111records, 43 (39%) were trauma victims with only abdominal injuries and 68 (61%) trauma victims with abdominal and extra-abdominalinjuries. Most patients were male (85%), with an average age of 33 years, ranging from 14 to 87 years. In statistical analysis, according to the T-test, there was significance (p > 0.05) between the WoEI and WiEI groups for data collected regarding death rates and hospitalization days. As for the morbidity rate and difference between genders (male and female), there was no statistical significance (p < 0.05). Polytrauma patients are exposed to greater kinetic energy, with more severe conditions and therefore required more in-hospital care.

Epidemiological studies, both in general and specifically, are part of the health promotion process and prophylactic actions that can generate treatment plans for a population, however, the accomplishment of prophylactic work in relation to musculoskeletal (i.e., traumatological) problems must start from the specific and go to the general, from cities to a national plan, since each population has its own characteristics in the general picture of conditions. Hypothetically, the epidemiological profile in traumatology and orthopedics, due to the general behavior in the national territory, presents the lack of prevention; in this way, is necessary to verify. This work aims to determine the incidence of orthopedic and traumatological problems in the region of Palmas, state of Tocantins (TO), Brazil, in order to contribute to a possible prophylactic plan for the population of the region. The data of the present study agree with most other studies about the orthopedic profile in terms of gender, age and problems with vertebral column, in general. However, the finding that most of the conditions were associated with scoliosis was unexpected, as it differs from the findings of most studies. It was possible to establish a profile of patients seen at the clinic-school and indicate the management of training for health professionals related to the treatment of people over the age of 40 years. The importance of the action of physiotherapists in the processes of prevention and primary care was evident given the patients indicated in this and other articles who need help with traumatic diseases.
