The aim of this study was to detect early hypertension, diabetes and obesity, as well as their risk factors, in 105 young shooters from Tiro de Guerra 11-002 in the city of Ituiutaba-MG. This is a cross-sectional mixed study. A semi-structured questionnaire that contained questions related to the sociodemographic context, health status, lifestyle, eating habits, and psychosocial variables was applied. Blood pressure, anthropometric indexes, and lipid and glycemic profiles were measured. Descriptive and inferential statistics, including Pearson’s correlation test and Spearman’s coefficient, considering significative value (p < 0.05). The shooters had an average of 18.9 years old, most educated and brown. Anthropometric indices indicated a mainly eutrophic population, and normotensive and desirable lipid and glycemic profiles. However, overweight, high blood pressure, and self-declaration of family history for chronic diseases were identified. In addition, most shooters affirmed to ingest alcoholics beverages, to have insufficient time of physical activity, and to be aware of their levels of stress, pressure and anxiety and a few hours of sleep. Overall, the shooters showed good anthropometric and biochemical indicators of blood. Risk behavior, such as drinking alcoholic beverages and smoking, low level of physical activity and self-perception of stress, anxiety and pressure were also noted.
本研究的目的是检测来自ituutaba - mg市Tiro de Guerra 11-002的105名年轻射手的早期高血压、糖尿病和肥胖及其危险因素。这是一项横断面混合研究。采用半结构化问卷，其中包含与社会人口背景、健康状况、生活方式、饮食习惯和社会心理变量相关的问题。测量血压、人体测量指数、血脂和血糖。描述性统计和推断性统计，包括Pearson相关检验和Spearman系数，考虑显著值(p < 0.05)。枪手的平均年龄为18.9岁，受教育程度最高，肤色为棕色。人体测量指标显示，主要是富营养化人群，血脂和血糖水平正常且理想。然而，超重、高血压和自我声明的慢性疾病家族史被确定。此外，大多数射击者承认饮用含酒精的饮料，没有足够的体育活动时间，意识到自己的紧张程度、压力和焦虑程度，并且只睡了几个小时。总体而言，枪手表现出良好的人体测量和血液生化指标。风险行为，如饮酒和吸烟、低水平的体育活动和自我感知的压力、焦虑和压力也被注意到。

The central venous catheter that is inserted in patients undergoing hemodialysis can cause hemodynamic instability and trigger complications such as thrombus formation. The objective of this study was to investigate hemostatic and numerical influences on thrombus formation in patients undergoing hemodialysis with a central venous catheter. Participants were assigned to three groups: I: clinical and laboratorial healthy individuals matched by sex and age (controls); II: participants after one month of insertion of the catheter and III: participants after 4 months of insertion of the catheter. Platelet activation was investigated by GPIIb/IIIa and p-selectin expressions using flow cytometry. A three-dimensional model of the catheter was constructed in the numerical simulation for the calculation of partial differential equation of a platelet activation model. A significant difference was detected by the expression of p-selectin comparing the group I (33.42 ± 4.74), group II (40.79 ± 5.54) and group III(51.00 ± 7.21) (p < 0.0001). The median values for GPIIb/IIIa were 10426 (10029-10721), 13921 (13412-15652) and 19946 (18714-21815) after catheter insertion (p < 0.0001), for groups I, II and III, respectively. Excluding the first arterial orifice, venous orifices tend to have greater platelet activation when compared to the other arterial orifices. The results of this study showed the influence of arterial and venous lateral orifices in stimulating the development of thrombi associated with the activation of platelet markers the longer the catheter was used

The aim of this study was to analyze the sociodemographic factors associated with cesarean section in adult women with conditions favorable for normal delivery and to identify the groups most likely to undergo this surgery in the state of Santa Catarina (SC). A case control study with microdata from the Sistema de Informação de Nascidos Vivos on 7,065 women for 2016 in SC. A relationship between cesarean section and sociodemographic variables was analyzed by logistic regression where we calculated the Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR), confidence interval and p-value. The probability of cesarean section for each group of women (called "interaction") was also calculated. Among women with more favorable conditions for normal childbirth, the prevalence of cesarean section was 41.1%. Lower chance of cesarean section was found for women without partners (AOR: 0.79 [0.71-0.87]), up to 8 years of schooling (AOR: 0.56 [0.47-0.66]), with up to 2 prenatal visits (AOR: 0.46 [0.23-0.90]). The most likely group of women (51.4% [49.3-53.4]) to undergo cesarean section are women who perform 7 to 15 prenatal visits and have 12 or more years of schooling. A cesarean section occurs with women who have greater access to education and prenatal care and those who have partners, even though the aspects favor normal childbirth, suggesting that this does not seem to be a decision only by women.
本研究的目的是分析有利于正常分娩的成年妇女剖宫产相关的社会人口因素，并确定在圣卡塔琳娜州(SC)最有可能接受剖宫产手术的人群。一项病例对照研究使用了来自Sistema de informa ode Nascidos Vivos的2016年7065名SC妇女的微观数据。通过逻辑回归分析了剖宫产与社会人口学变量之间的关系，并计算了调整优势比(AOR)、置信区间和p值。还计算了每组妇女剖宫产的概率(称为“相互作用”)。在正常分娩条件较好的妇女中，剖宫产率为41.1%。无伴侣(AOR: 0.79[0.71-0.87])、受教育时间不超过8年(AOR: 0.56[0.47-0.66])、产前检查不超过2次(AOR: 0.46[0.23-0.90])的妇女剖宫产的几率较低。最有可能接受剖宫产的妇女群体(51.4%[49.3-53.4])是接受过7至15次产前检查并受过12年或以上教育的妇女。剖宫产发生在那些有更多机会接受教育和产前护理的女性和那些有伴侣的女性身上，尽管这些方面倾向于正常分娩，这表明这似乎不仅仅是女性的决定。

Rutin is a flavonoid used in clinical practice to treat capillary fragility and prevent bleeding due to its wide variety of pharmacological actions, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antiproliferative, and anticarcinogenic activities. In this study, the biopharmacotechnical and physical properties of film-coated tablets containing rutin marketed in drugstores were evaluated. Using samples from three batches called A, B and C, we determined the average weight, disintegration time, hardness, content and dissolution profile, and kinetics of the tablets. The samples demonstrated average weight of 457.45 ± 12.32 to 449.15 ± 8.95 mg; disintegration time, 30.17 ± 2.14 to 15.17 ± 2.14 min; hardness, 1.92 ± 0.55 to 1.69 ± 0.36 Kgf; and rutin content, 18.34 ± 1.21 to 15.66 ± 1.29 mg. After 90 min, the dissolution profile showed 52.65, 41.80, and 79.2% for A, B, and C, respectively. The results imply that the non-conformities of the tested products can significantly compromise the drug’s therapeutic efficacy.

The objective was to identify the factors that interfere with the quality of nurses' care to patients in the urgency and emergency service. This is a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study, conducted in the months of September to November 2017 with 16 nurses, in the critical sectors of a public hospital referral in urgency and emergency in Teresina, Piaui, Brazil. The main factors identified that interfere with the quality of care provided by nurses were: inadequate conditions at work, improper physical structure in meeting high demand from patients, insufficient materials and equipment, dimensioning of inadequate personnel, in addition to a health care network that finds problems to achieve adequate patient flow. It is noted the need to develop institutional programs in the study hospital, in order to value and motivate the assisting professionals, since exposure to constant negative feelings can trigger physical and mental illnesses, in addition to exerting a great influence on the quality of the patients. services that are provided.

The goal of this study was to assess the perceptions and behaviors of nurses who provide triage with risk assessment to low complexity non-referred patients. The participants of the study were nurses who were performing patients’ triage with risk assessment, and the sample consisted of thirteen participants. The instruments used for the interviews were semi-structured questionnaires related to the characterization of the topic under study. Content analysis, i.e., the method proposed by Bardin, was used for data analysis. For data organization, we used MAXQDA Analytics Pro 2018, a software program that favored the identification between the similarities of the elements and ideas, thus making it possible to reach the cores of meanings. The identified categories were: (a) understanding about the healthcare provided by the emergency/urgency care Network; (b) evaluation of patient triage with risk classification; and (c) difficulties/challenges observed at the institution when providing user assessment with risk classification. It is concluded that nurses’ perceptions regarding the topic under study were linked to the disarticulation of the healthcare Network, the fragility of the relationship between physicians and nurses, and the lack of use of institutional protocols.
本研究的目的是评估护士对低复杂性非转诊患者进行风险评估分诊的认知和行为。本研究的参与者是为患者进行风险评估分诊的护士，样本包括13名参与者。访谈使用的工具是与所研究主题的特征有关的半结构化问卷。数据分析采用内容分析法，即Bardin提出的方法。对于数据组织，我们使用了MAXQDA Analytics Pro 2018，这是一个有利于识别元素和思想相似性的软件程序，从而可以达到意义的核心。确定的类别是:(a)了解紧急/紧急护理网络提供的保健服务;(b)评估病人的风险分类;(c)在向用户提供风险分类评估时，在机构观察到的困难/挑战。结论是，护士对正在研究的主题的看法与医疗保健网络的脱节、医生和护士之间关系的脆弱性以及缺乏机构协议的使用有关。

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of a specific, kinesiotherapy-based rehabilitation program on the various symptoms of osteoarthrosis (OA), following group treatment. Thirty-one individuals, of both sexes, aged over 50 years and with medical diagnosis of OA, underwent 16 sessions, twice a week, totaling eight weeks, of a specific rehabilitation protocol based on group kinesiotherapy. Primary OA symptoms were assessed (directly related to the disease: OA symptoms, trunk flexibility, balance and pain), and so were secondary ones (indirectly related to the disease: signs of depression and anxiety, and quality of life). Data were tested through Student's t test or Wilcoxon's test, and contingencies of categorical data were analyzed using McNemar's test. There was an improvement in all primary symptoms of OA after the kinesiotherapy protocol was applied. Signs of anxiety and depression improved only in contingency, when risk stratification was taken into account. In addition, physical components of quality of life also showed improvement, which did not occur with mental components though. Therefore, the kinesiotherapy-based rehabilitation program was capable of positively influencing all primary symptoms, and only some aspects of secondary OA symptoms.

This study aimed to obtain personal and clinical characteristics of patients with fibromyalgia, and to identify the factors responsible for the initiation, recurrence or intensification of painful state in each patient. The information was collected using General Characterization Form of Fibromyalgia Patients, consisting of 32 questions about personal data, location, and type of pain, identification of factors or circumstances related to the algetic state, physical activity, and pharmacological treatment. Among 14 patients included in this study, 85.71% were female. The pain intensity and time spam varied among patients, and 42.85% of them presented pain (algetic state) lasting between 6 to 10 years. Emotional trauma was the factor or circumstance related to the onset of symptoms of 71.43% of the patients. All patients reported that stressful situations resulting from conflicts in the family, social or work environment are factors responsible for reactivating and intensifying the symptoms of fibromyalgia. Factors and circumstances related to the onset, recurrence, and intensity of fibromyalgia symptoms reveal that it is necessary to inform patients that it is a benign disease, despite the painful condition,since the way they respond to daily events is a determining factor in the course of the disease.Improving physical conditioning and conducting cognitive-behavioral therapy, along with pharmacological treatments, can be successful in treating or minimizing the symptoms of fibromyalgia.

The information was collected using General Characterization Form of Fibromyalgia Patients, consisting of 32 questions about personal data, location, and type of pain, identification of factors or circumstances related to the algetic state, physical activity, and pharmacological treatment. Among 14 patients included in this study, 85.71% were female. The pain intensity and time spam varied among patients, and 42.85% of them presented pain (algetic state) lasting between 6 to 10 years. Emotional trauma was the factor or circumstance related to the onset of symptoms of 71.43% of the patients. All patients reported that stressful situations resulting from conflicts in the family, social or work environment are factors responsible for reactivating and intensifying the symptoms of fibromyalgia. Factors and circumstances related to the onset, recurrence, and intensity of fibromyalgia symptoms reveal that it is necessary to inform patients that it is a benign disease, despite the painful condition,since the way they respond to daily events is a determining factor in the course of the disease.Improving physical conditioning and conducting cognitive-behavioral therapy, along with pharmacological treatments, can be successful in treating or minimizing the symptoms of fibromyalgia.","PeriodicalId":42839,"journal":{"name":"ACTA SCIENTIARUM-HEALTH SCIENCES","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74559099","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}

In Brazil, the first “Human Milk Bank” (HMB) was implemented in 1943. Minas Gerais' oldest HMB still in operation was opened on October 19th, 1986 – the HMB of Odete Valadares Maternity Hospital [Maternidade Odete Valadares] (MOV) – and remains as a protagonist service in breastfeeding (BF) promotion in Minas Gerais. MOV has the oldest HMB of Minas Gerais, which is a reference service for maternal and child healthcare in the state. Learning about the profile of the population served by it is important as it allows ensuring and improving the conditions and resources necessary for the service, as well as facilitating the creation of strategies to improve BF support. Thus, the objective of this study was to learn about the profile of women who used MOV's HMB in a month of 2017. Descriptive study with quantitative approach. As data sources, service forms from November 2017 were used, totaling a final sample of 238 records. The services covered women who gave birth in public and private hospitals. Most mothers were aged between 20 and 34 years old, had borne their first children, were in stable relationships, and had at least 12 years of education. They had access to adequate prenatal care, delivery and postpartum care, as recommended by the Brazilian Health Ministry [Ministério da Saúde] (MS). The main reported complaint: pain. A large number of women sought the service for guidance on breastfeeding as well. The profile of the attended women is similar to that of nursing mothers from other studies. Lack of orientation was one of the main motivations for them to resort to the service, a factor that can be changed by the strengthening of public policies for an adequate follow-up throughout prenatal care.

This study investigated whether university students following a vegetarian diet differed from non-vegetarian students in nutrient intake, biochemical, hematological and blood mineral profile of nutritionally relevant elements. In total, 107 students from a university, following either a non-vegetarian or a vegetarian diet for at least 1 year prior to the study, were recruited in two stages, setting up two experiments. Nutrient intake (experiment 1, n = 58), and biochemical and hematological parameters (experiment 2, n = 49) were evaluated. TXRF spectroscopy was used for determination of trace elements in whole blood. Vegetarians showed differences in nutrient intake, mainly higher consumption of unsaturated fatty acids and fiber. No significant differences in the biochemical and hematological parameters were found. The prevalence of abnormal parameters in a considerable number of vegetarians and non-vegetarians were found, mainly regarding high density lipoprotein (HDL-c) and total cholesterol (TC). TXRF spectroscopy proved to be a simple tool for determining nutrition-relevant elements (K, Fe, Cu and Zn) in blood samples. The high incidence of abnormal parameters, regardless of the dietary pattern, raises concern about the high prevalence of bad eating habits among young university students. Particularly for the vegetarian students, these results may partly counteract the beneficial lifestyle of a vegetarian diet evidenced by previous studies. It is important for students to be aware of its potential nutritional limitations. In this context, food and nutrition education programs in the academic context could contribute to set up autonomous and healthy subjects, regardless of the diet chosen.
