The objective of this cross-sectional study was to estimate the prevalence of self-reported hypertension and diabetes among the users of primary health care services of Southeast Ribeirao Preto, Brazil, and identify variables which may be associated with these chronic conditions. A stratified sample of 1,055 adult individuals surveyed. Associations were examined by log-binomial regression models and expressed as prevalence ratios (PRs). The prevalence of self-reported hypertension among women was 20.2% (95%CI: 17.5-23.1) and among men was 29.0% (95%CI: 22.9-35.5). The prevalence of self-reported diabetes among women was 6.9% (95%CI: 5.2-8.8) and among men was 12.2% (95% CI: 8.1-17.3). The prevalence of both conditions increases significantly with age. Crude and adjusted PRs indicate no association between socioeconomic status and the self-reported chronic conditions.

This study aimed at investigating the association between motivation to physical activity practice and the lifestyle of the staff and students from the university known as Universidade Federal do Vale do Sao Francisco , Petrolina-PE, who undergo weight training. The sample comprised 659 subjects. the physical activity and leisure motivation scale, as well as the Fantastic Lifestyle questionnaire were used. Data analysis was carried out by using Kruskall-Wallis, Mann-Whitney, Spearman correlation and Path Analysis (p < 0.05). Considering all the subjects of the present research, the results showed that the highest motivation indexes were related to health/fitness issues, and the lowest ones with the social factor. It is worth mentioning that the students, when compared to the administrative staff and professors, are more motivated to practice physical activity for having fun and improving their physical appearance, in addition to making new friends. The health/fitness and appearance factors had a significant impact on the lifestyle of the professors, whereas fun/interest had a significant impact on the lifestyle of the students. It was concluded that intrinsic motivation is intervenient in the sense that students develop healthy habits. On the other hand, autonomous motivation shall influence the increase healthy behavior among the professors, whereas extrinsic motives may discourage a healthy lifestyle.

This study aims to compare carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) concentration levels measured in fitness centers with the applicable guidelines from Brazil, France, and Europe. Three fitness centers in Florianopolis, Santa Catarina State, Brazil (fitness centers A, B, and C) participated in this study. The fitness centers have different physical characteristics and ventilation systems. Fitness centers A and B have split ventilation systems, while fitness center C has a central ventilation system. The air quality was assessed by determining the CO 2 concentration level, as measured by a non-dispersive infrared CO 2 concentration sensor. Data was analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics. All three fitness centers recorded CO 2 concentrations significantly above (p = 0.00) the maximum level of 750 ppm recommended by the European standard. Fitness centers A (= 3752.13 ppm) and C (= 1360.89 ppm) also had CO 2 concentrations significantly above (p = 0.00) the maximum level of 1000 ppm recommended by the Brazilian and French guidelines. CO 2 concentrations in fitness centers were significantly above the maximum permitted levels. Besides suggesting inefficient ventilation in these fitness centers, high CO 2 concentrations can impair indoor air quality and increase risks to the health of practitioners.

Tuberculosis is an infectious-contagious disease, whose etiological agent is Mycobacterium tuberculosis , and currently stands as the second leading cause of death from infectious diseases in the world. This study aims to describe its clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects in the elderly. This is an exploratory-descriptive cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, developed in a Sanitary District in Natal/RN, from January 2010 to December 2015. Among the 94 participants, the majority were males (51.1%) aged between 60 and 69. The pulmonary form of the disease was predominant (86.2%) in the studied group and most of the cases were new (59.6%). The treatment was self-administered (52.1%) and completed within the appropriate period (57.4%). The tuberculin test was not undergone by the majority of the elderly (76.6%), neither was histopathology (86.2%), while chest X-ray was suggestive of tuberculosis (72.3%). It was observed that the elderly did not undergo the first bacilloscopy (59.5%) and, out of those who were subjected to the second, it was positive for most (54.2%). It is worth mentioning that the Human Immunodeficiency Virus serology was not carried out in 54.2% of the senior patients with tuberculosis. Older individuals make up a risk population group and should be given special attention from health professionals.

It has been shown that diets containing polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids may modulate the immune system. Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis of great importance in Latin America, caused by the thermo-dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis . The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of n-3 PUFAs in lymphoproliferative activity in murine experimental PCM. Spleen lymphocytes from animals infected with an isolate of P. brasiliensis (Pb18) and fed with diets supplemented with flaxseed oil or a commercial diet for eight weeks, were obtained and cultured for evaluation of lymphoproliferative activity by MTT assay. In uninfected animals and those fed an enriched-flaxseed diet the evaluated lymphoproliferative activity was inhibited in the first week; however, this activity resumed at later stages. On the other hand, in animals infected and fed an enriched-flaxseed diet, the interaction between the stimulus given by the presence of the fungus and the action of n-3 PUFAs appeared to stimulate lymphocyte proliferation after the first week of infection. n-3 PUFAs are shown to influence lymphoproliferative activity of mice in experimental PCM.

The aim was investigate the time-course of cardiac autonomic response in men with incomplete cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) practitioners or not of physical exercise. Twenty men were separated into three groups: control group without SCI (CON; 28.3 ± 4.5 yrs; 178.4 ± 6.5 cm; 82.1 ± 6.8 kg; n=8), regularly engaged in strength training and low aerobic training; exercise group with cervical SCI (EG, 32.3 ± 4.5 yrs, 175.1 ± 5.3 cm, 73.6 ± 9.6 Kg; n=8) that practiced wheelchair rugby and sedentary group with cervical SCI (SG, 30.8 ± 5.3 yrs, 173.4 ± 10.1 cm, 69.7 ± 7.1 Kg; n=4) who did not practice physical exercise. Heart rate variability variables were calculated from ECG, in rest. CON showed high values compared to EG and SG of: standard deviation of R-R intervals (SDNN), proportion of adjacent R-R intervals differing by more than 50 ms, number of interval differences of successive NN intervals greater than 50 ms, root mean square of successive differences and the high-frequency spectral power. SDNN was significantly lower in EG compared to CON. changes in cardiac autonomic function could be noted in subjects with cervical SCI regularly engaged in an exercise program.
目的是探讨不完全性颈脊髓损伤(SCI)患者心肌自主神经反应的时间过程。20名男性分为3组:无SCI的对照组(CON;28.3±4.5岁;178.4±6.5 cm;82.1±6.8 kg;N =8)，经常进行力量训练和低有氧训练;运动组伴有颈椎脊髓损伤(EG, 32.3±4.5岁，175.1±5.3 cm, 73.6±9.6 Kg;n=8)进行轮椅橄榄球和久坐组的颈椎脊髓损伤患者(SG, 30.8±5.3岁，173.4±10.1 cm, 69.7±7.1 Kg;N =4)没有进行体育锻炼的人。心率变异性变量由心电图计算，休息时。与EG和SG相比，CON在以下方面表现出较高的值:R-R区间标准差(SDNN)、相邻R-R区间差异大于50 ms的比例、连续NN区间差异大于50 ms的间隔数、连续差异的均方根和高频频谱功率。与对照组相比，EG组的SDNN明显降低。在经常参加运动项目的颈椎脊髓损伤患者中，可以注意到心脏自主神经功能的变化。

This study evaluated the influence of β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) on the body weight and morphometry of white and red muscle fibers of sedentary rats. 29 male rats were divided in: initial control group (ICG ) (n = 5), euthanized at study onset, and three treated groups (n = 8 each): placebo control group (PCG) received saline for 4 weeks; experimental group (EG) received 0.3 g kg -1 of HMB daily and controlled diet; and experimental group ad libitum , (EGA) received 0.3g kg -1 of HMB daily, without food restriction. There was no difference in food intake and body weight between treated groups. For the EDL muscle, treated groups were different from ICG. Concerning the soleus muscle, no treated group was different from each other and only the EGA presented difference compared to the ICG. Data also did not reveal correlation between the variables food intake and body weight. HMB did not change the body weight or morphometry of EDL muscle fibers. However, the HMB combined with ad libitum feeding was able to change the morphometry of soleus muscle fibers.
本研究评价了β-羟基-β-甲基丁酸酯(HMB)对久坐大鼠体重及白、红肌纤维形态的影响。29只雄性大鼠分为:初始对照组(ICG) (n = 5)，在研究开始时安乐死，三个治疗组(n = 8):安慰剂对照组(PCG)给予生理盐水4周;试验组(EG)每天添加0.3 g kg -1 HMB，并控制饮食;试验组(EGA)每日随意饲喂HMB 0.3g kg -1，不限制食物。治疗组之间的食物摄入量和体重没有差异。对于EDL肌，处理组与ICG组不同。在比目鱼肌方面，各组间无差异，仅EGA与ICG有差异。数据也没有显示食物摄入量和体重之间的相关性。HMB没有改变EDL肌纤维的体重和形态。然而，HMB联合自由摄食能够改变比目鱼肌纤维的形态。

Due to the increase in life expectancy and changes in eating habits, the elderly and obese population has increased in recent years. The objective of this study was to analyze the correlation between type 2 Diabetes mellitus (DM2) and oxidative DNA damage in elderly residents of the municipality of Ivoti, State of Rio Grande do Sul. This study had an exploratory, descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative approach based on the data bank of the institutional project of the Feevale University. There was a predominant population of married women, retired, with monthly income up to 2 minimum wages, with education until to the 4th grade of fundamental school and bilingual. Statistical difference was detected for fasting glycemia, HbA1c and 8-hydroxydioxy-2-guanosine (8-OHdG) between DM2 and control subjects, as well as a positive Spearmann correlation between HbA1c and 8-OHdG in patients with DM2. It was possible to identify through fasting glycemia and HbA1c that elderly people who had poor glycemic control also showed a significant increase in the production of reactive oxygen species and consequent DNA damage when compared to the elderly with good glycemic control.

To estimate the prevalence of common mental disorders (CMDs) and check the characteristic symptoms of CMDs in workers in the health sector.Cross-sectional study conducted in four municipalities in the state of Bahia. The study included 2,684 workers (21.6% men and 78.4% women), with ages ranging from 19 to 82 years (38.38 ± 10.1). CMDs were identified through the Self-Reporting Questionnaire-SRQ-20. Sociodemographic and occupational data were investigated and described using simple frequency and the calculation of ratios, and their respective 95% confidence intervals. The association between CMD and the explanatory variables (according to sex) were assessed using regression gross and adjusted Poisson regression analysis. The prevalence of CMD was more pronounced among women (22.7; 95% CI: 20.8 to 24.5%). The most reported symptom among men (38%) and women (50%) was feeling nervous, tense or worried. The prevalence of TMC was more prevalent among women and workers gazetted .The prevalence of CMD among health workers is high and differed between the sexes and dependence employment bond.

This study aimed to know the interaction of the mother of the child in renal conservative treatment with the social support network. Qualitative delineation, whose theoretical reference was Symbolic Interactionism. For data collection, we used semi-structured interview, genogram and ecomap. Eleven mothers of children undergoing conservative renal treatment participated. The data were analyzed with conventional content analysis. It was possible to construct two categories: Being supported by the formal social support network; Being supported by the informal social support network. The analysis showed that the main source of maternal support was related to the family. In addition, the mothers stressed the importance of the support of professionals, health services and non-governmental organization. It is concluded that Nursing can improve the targeting of care actions aimed at the family of the child in renal conservative treatment, expanding the social support network.
