Eficácia do ondansetron e da alizaprida na prevenção de náusea e vômito em laparoscopia ginecológica

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A laparoscopia ginecológica é procedimento que determina alta incidência de náusea e vômito no pós-operatório. Este estudo teve por finalidade comparar a eficácia do ondansetron e da alizaprida na prevenção de náusea e vômito em pacientes submetidas à laparoscopia ginecológica. MÉTODO: Participaram do estudo 52 pacientes, estado físico ASA I ou II, com idades entre 21 e 50 anos, sem queixas gástricas prévias, submetidas à laparoscopia para diagnóstico ou cirurgia. As pacientes foram divididas em 2 grupos: o grupo 1 recebeu ondansetron (4 mg) e o grupo 2, alizaprida (50 mg), por via venosa, antes da indução da anestesia. Todas as pacientes receberam midazolam (7,5 mg) por via oral como medicação pré-anestésica, sufentanil (0,5 µg.kg-1) e propofol (2 mg.kg-1) para indução, propofol (115 µg.kg-1) e N2O/O2 em fração inspirada de O2 a 40% para manutenção e atracúrio (0,5 mg.kg-1) como bloqueador neuromuscular. A analgesia pós-operatória foi realizada com cetoprofeno (100 mg) e buscopam composto®. RESULTADOS: Ambos os grupos foram idênticos quanto aos dados antropométricos e à duração da cirurgia e da anestesia. No grupo 1 (n=27) uma paciente apresentou náusea, No grupo 2, uma paciente apresentou náusea e três vomitaram, resultados estatisticamente não significativos. CONCLUSÕES: O ondansetron e a alizaprida foram similares na prevenção de náusea e vômito em pacientes submetidas à laparoscopia ginecológica.

Efeitos da associação entre pequenas doses subaracnóideas de morfina e cetoprofeno venoso e oral em pacientes submetidas à cesariana

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Pequenas doses subaracnóideas de morfina são eficazes em reduzir a dor pós-operatória de pacientes submetidas à cesariana, com menor incidência de efeitos colaterais. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar a qualidade da analgesia pós-operatória e a ocorrência de efeitos colaterais em pacientes submetidas a cesarianas, sob anestesia subaracnóidea com bupivacaína hiperbárica e morfina nas doses de 0,05 mg e 0,1 mg, associadas ao cetoprofeno pelas vias venosa e oral. MÉTODO: Participaram do estudo 60 gestantes de termo, estado físico ASA I e II, que foram submetidas à cesariana eletiva. As pacientes foram divididas em dois grupos: grupo 1 - morfina 0,1 mg, grupo 2 - 0,05 mg, associada a 15 mg de bupivacaína hiperbárica. Todas receberam cetoprofeno (100 mg) por via venosa no per-operatório e por via oral a cada 8 horas no primeiro dia de pós-operatório. As pacientes foram avaliadas 6, 12 e 24 horas após o término da cirurgia, com relação à intensidade da dor e presença de efeitos colaterais (sedação, prurido, náusea e vômito). A presença destes últimos também foi avaliada no per-operatório. RESULTADOS: Ambos os grupos foram idênticos quanto aos dados antropométricos e à duração da cirurgia e da anestesia. Também foram homogêneos com relação à intensidade da dor pós-operatória e à presença de prurido, sedação, náusea e vômito. CONCLUSÕES: A morfina, nas doses de 0,05 mg e 0,1 mg administradas no espaço subaracnóideo, associada ao cetoprofeno pelas vias venosa e oral, apresentou a mesma qualidade de analgesia pós-operatória e determinou a mesma ocorrência de efeitos colaterais.

Bupivacaína, Ropivacaína e Levobupivacaína em Analgesia e Anestesia de Parto. Repercussões Materno-Fetais

Background and Objectives - Bupivacaine has been a very useful local anesthetic in Obstetrics in spite of its potential cardiotoxicity. In obstetric analgesia, ropivacaine is preferred to bupivacaine, and levobupivacaine is less cardiotoxic than the racemic mixture. The aim of this study was to compare the maternal-fetal effects of bupivacaine, ropivacaine and levobupivacaine in obstetric analgesia and anesthesia. Methods - Participated in this study 33 term pregnant women, physical status ASA I and II submitted to epidural anesthesia who received 18.75 mg (in 15 ml completed with 9% saline) of: GI - bupivacaine, GII - ropivacaine, and GIII - levobupivacaine. Pain intensity, sensory block level, onset time, quality of analgesia, motor block intensity, analgesia duration and time for labor resolution were evaluated. For vaginal delivery, 40 mg (in 8 ml of saline) of the same local anesthetic were used; for cesarean delivery, the dose has been mg in 20 ml solution. Newborns of these mothers were evaluated through the Apgar score in minutes 1, 5 and 10, and through the Amiel-Tison method (neurologic and adaptative capacity score - NACS) at 30 min, 2 h, and 24 h. Results - There were no significant statistical differences among groups as to sensory block level, onset time, quality of analgesia, labor analgesia duration, time for labor resolution, and Apgar scores at minute 1. Ast to motor block, GIII > GII and GI was intermediary. In relation to pain intensity, there was a trend for GI > GIII. For Apgar scores in minute 5, GII > (GI = GIII), and in minute 10 (GI = GII) < GIII. NACS at 2 h showed, GII > GI > GIII, and at 24 h, GII > GIII > GI. Conclusions - Ropivacaine has relieved maternal pain with less motor block. Newborns of GII mothers (ropivacaine) showed the best Apgar and NACS scores.

Decreased fertility in poor responder women is not related to oocyte morphological status

Introduction: In women showing impaired fertility, a decreased response to ovarian stimulation is a major problem, limiting the number of oocytes to be used for assisted reproduction techniques (ART). Despite the several definitions of poor response, it is still a matter of debate whether young poor responder patients also show a decrease in oocyte quality. The objective in this study was to investigate whether poor ovarian response to the superstimulation protocol is accompanied by impaired oocyte quality.Material and methods: This study included 313 patients younger than 35 years old, undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Patients with four or fewer MII oocytes (poor-responder group, PR, n = 57) were age-matched with normoresponder patients (NR, n = 256).Results: A higher rate of oocyte retrieval and a trend towards an increase in MII oocyte rate were observed in the NR group when compared to the PR group (71.6 +/- 1.1% and 74.1 +/- 1.0% vs. 56.3 +/- 2.9% and 66.5 +/- 3.7%; p < 0.0001 and p = 0.056, respectively). A trend toward increased implantation rates was observed in the NR group when compared to the PR group (44 and 24.5 +/- 2.0% vs. 28.8 and 16.4 +/- 3.9%; p = 0.0305 and p = 0.0651, respectively).Conclusions: Low response to ovarian stimulation is apparently not related to impaired oocyte quality. However, embryos produced from poor responder oocytes show impaired capacity to implant and to carry a pregnancy to term.

Health status profile of climacteric women

Study design: Retrospective analysis of medical records. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and dyslipidemia in a group of climacteric women. Methods: Study of the first patients treated at the Menopause Clinic (ACLI), Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, School of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto (USP), from 1983 to 2007. Data on weight, height, BMI, biological group, diagnosis of hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia was collected from February/2008 until April/2008. Results: From 1983 until 2007, 400 patients were followed up, and 272 had their records registered. Of these 272 patients, 628 were selected queries, and therefore, on average, each woman had three returns. Women over the age of 29 and maximum of 80 years and median BMI above 25kg/m2. The prevalence of diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia was respectively 32%, 68% and 54%. The prevalence of NCDs and BMI was higher for the later groups. Conclusion: Climacteric women treated at a hospital level care center showed a worsening of the BMI and the prevalence of noncommunicable chronic diseases over time, which is urging a closer look at health professionals in this population group.

Thyroid hormone status interferes with estrogen target gene expression in breast cancer samples in menopausal women

We investigated thyroid hormone levels in menopausal BrC patients and verified the action of triiodothyronine on genes regulated by estrogen and by triiodothyronine itself in BrC tissues. We selected 15 postmenopausal BrC patients and a control group of 18 postmenopausal women without BrC. We measured serum TPO-AB, TSH, FT4, and estradiol, before and after surgery, and used immunohistochemistry to examine estrogen and progesterone receptors. BrC primary tissue cultures received the following treatments: ethanol, triiodothyronine, triiodothyronine plus 4-hydroxytamoxifen, 4-hydroxytamoxifen, estrogen, or estrogen plus 4-hydroxytamoxifen. Genes regulated by estrogen (TGFA, TGFB1, and PGR) and by triiodothyronine (TNFRSF9, BMP-6, and THRA) in vitro were evaluated. TSH levels in BrC patients did not differ from those of the control group (1.34 ± 0.60 versus 2.41 ± 1.10  μ U/mL), but FT4 levels of BrC patients were statistically higher than controls (1.78 ± 0.20 versus 0.95 ± 0.16 ng/dL). TGFA was upregulated and downregulated after estrogen and triiodothyronine treatment, respectively. Triiodothyronine increased PGR expression; however 4-hydroxytamoxifen did not block triiodothyronine action on PGR expression. 4-Hydroxytamoxifen, alone or associated with triiodothyronine, modulated gene expression of TNFRSF9, BMP-6, and THRA, similar to triiodothyronine treatment. Thus, our work highlights the importance of thyroid hormone status evaluation and its ability to interfere with estrogen target gene expression in BrC samples in menopausal women.
