De las enfermedades posibles que afectan el ser humano, las infecciones respiratorias agudas (IRA) son las más prevalentes de todas, con una prevalencia para Colombia según informes de la OPS del año 2005 de 12.6% en niños de 0 a 4 años. A pesar de la naturaleza en su mayoría son de corta duración y su desarrollo es benigno, con lleva repercusiones importantes en la salud y en lo económico: Es una de las principales causas de demanda de servicios médicos, de prescripción injustificada de antibióticos , de ausentismo escolar y laboral secundario. El objetivo de este estudio es comparar el número de eventos de infecciones respiratorias agudas, en niños entre 2 y 5 años de edad afiliados a la EPS Sanitas que consultaron al Clinisanitas de Ciudad Salitre entre el periodo de septiembre del 2004 y febrero del 2006, para determinar si existe o no asociación al hecho de estar vacunado contra la influenza.

Los síndromes mielodisplásicos son un grupo heterogéneo de desórdenes clonales de las células madre hematopoyéticas caracterizadas por displasia y producción inefectiva de células sanguíneas. Los agentes estimulantes de la eritropoyesis (AEE) constituyen una alternativa terapéutica para un grupo de pacientes con síndromes mielodisplásicos. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura de estudios aleatorizados controlados, que evaluaron la eficacia y seguridad de los AEE en adultos con diagnóstico de síndrome mielodisplásico hasta febrero de 2014. A partir de la búsqueda se encontraron 1071 referencias, se obtuvieron 12 referencias, correspondiente a 9 estudios que cumplieron criterios de selección. Todos evaluaron algún AEE pero el grupo comparador difirió entre ellos; De los estudios seleccionados, ninguno evaluó el desenlace de supervivencia según brazos de tratamiento. 3 de los estudios evaluaron el desenlace de calidad de vida en grupos comparativos diferentes, reportando mejorías no estadísticamente significativas. 7 de los estudios evaluaron la respuesta hematológica reportando resultados divergentes según diversas definiciones de la variable de interés. Los desenlaces de seguridad fueron reportaron en 3 de los estudios, ocurriendo en baja proporción y con incidencia similar entre los grupos comparadores y el tratamiento con AEE. Las evaluaciones de riesgo de sesgo consideraron un estudio con bajo riesgo de sesgo, 4 estudios con riesgo incierto y 4 estudios con riesgo alto de sesgo. Los estudios evaluados fueron considerados en su mayoría con riesgo de sesgo incierto o alto. Se sugiere evaluar dichos desenlaces de interés de manera estandarizada en investigaciones futuras en el tema.

A adenosina tem sido descrita como tendo importante efeito neuromodulatório em SNC, inibindo a liberação de neurotransmissores excitatórios através da ativação dos receptores A1. Agonistas de receptores A1, bem como adenosina e seus análogos, tem sido descritos como supressores de crises epilépticas. Uma das vias de produção de adenosina é a hidrólise extra-celular completa do ATP envolvendo as enzimas ATP difosfoidrolase (CD39) e 5’-nucleotidase (CD73). Embora esta associação enzimática já esteja bem descrita, o envolvimento da enzima fosfodiesterase não pode ser descartado, uma vez que esta hidrolisa nucleotídeos como ATP e ADP, além de outros substratos. Recentemente, foi demonstrado em nosso laboratório um aumento das atividades ATP difosfoidrolase e 5’-nucleotidase em sinaptossomas de ratos após a indução de 2 diferentes modelos de epilepsia de lobo temporal. Neste trabalho, nós investigamos o efeito de crises agudas e crônicas induzidas pelo agente pró-convulsivante pentilenotetrazol (PTZ) sobre a hidrólise dos nucleotídeos ATP, ADP e AMP em soro de ratos, uma vez que formas solúveis de nucleotidases já estão descritas. No modelo agudo os animais receberam apenas 1 injeção de PTZ ou salina, sendo mortos por decapitação em diferentes tempos após a injeção da droga. A hidrólise dos nucleotídeos ATP, ADP e AMP apresentaram aumento significativo de 40 –50% nos ratos tratados em relação aos ratos controle até 24 após a última injeção. Em 48 horas, este efeito foi abolido. Já, a hidrólise do substrato artificial p-Nph-5’-TMP usado como marcador para a fosfodiesterase, não apresentou nenhum aumento significativo em ratos tratados quando comparado aos animais controle. No modelo crônico (kindling), os animais recebiam doses inicialmente subconvulsivantes que resultam em crises progressivamente mais intensas ao longo das subseqüentes estimulações. Para descartar o efeito da injeção aguda, os ratos foram mortos 48 horas após a última estimulação. Com exceção do substrato artificial para a fosfodiesterase, a hidrólise dos nucleotídeos testados aumentou de maneira significativa (cerca de 40% - 45%) em soro de ratos submetidos ao modelo de kindling. Estes resultados demonstram o envolvimento de nucleotidases solúveis no controle dos níveis do neurotransmissor ATP e do neuromodulador adenosina, sendo estas respostas presentes tanto em situações patológicas agudas, como em situações patológicas crônicas que envolvem o fenômeno de plasticidade sináptica.

Objetivou-se, neste estudo exploratório/descritivo, identificar conhecimentos e necessidades dos cuidadores da criança com Infecção Respiratória Aguda (IRA) através de uma amostra de 129 crianças atendidas no serviço de crescimento e desenvolvimento de uma unidade de saúde. Foram aplicados formulários junto aos cuidadores, em seu domicílio, nos meses de fevereiro e março de 2002. Os cuidadores eram do sexo feminino, a maioria jovem, com ensino fundamental incompleto e com renda de 1 a 2 salários. Em relação aos primeiros cuidados com a criança doente, 48,2% dos cuidadores procuram o médico, 36,6% medicam por conta própria e 13,2% utilizam fitoterápicos. Como medidas de prevenção contra pneumonia em crianças com IRA leve, os cuidadores utilizam medidas de senso comum e sabem reconhecer sinais de gravidade das doenças, por experiências anteriores, revelando uma lacuna do conhecimento dos principais sinais e sintomas de doenças graves do trato respiratório

Innumerable studies have focused been reported on the sleep spindles (SS), Sharp Vertex Waves (SVW) and REM, NREM Sleep as indicators interpreting EEG patterns in children. However, Frequency and Amplitud Gradient (FAG) is rarely cited sleep parameter in children,that occurs during NREM Sleep. It was first described by Slater and Torres, in 1979, but has not been routinely evaluated in EEG reports. The aim of this study was to assess the absence of SS, SVW and FAG, as an indication of neurological compromise in children. The sample consisted of 1014 EEGs of children referred to the Clinical Neurophysiology Laboratory, Hospital Universitário de Brasília (HUB), from January 1997 to March 2003, with ages ranging from 3 months to 12 years old, obtained in spontaneous sleep or induced by choral hydrate. The study was transversal and analytical, in which, visual analysis of EEG traces was perfumed individually and independently by two electroencephalographers without prior knowledge of the EEG study or neurological findings. After EEG selection, the investigators analyzed the medical reports in order to define and correlate neurological pattern was classified according to the presence or absence of neurological compromise, as Normal Neurological Pattern (NNP), and Altered Neurological Pattern (ANP) respectively. From the visual analysis of the EEG(s), it was possible to characterize 6 parameters: 1- FAG present (64,1%); 2- FAG absent (35,9%); 3 - normal SS (87,9%); 4 - altered SS s (12,1%); 5 - normal SVW s (95,7%); 6 - altered SVW s (4,3%). The prevalence of well-formed FAG is found in the 3 months to 5 years age group in the children with NNF. FAG was totally absent from the age of 10 years. When comparing the three sleep graphielements, it was observed that SVW and SS were predominant in children with NNF. However, FAG absent was more prevalent in the ANF than in altered SS an SVW. The statistical analysis showed that there is a strong association of FAG absent, with isolated alteration, in ANF patients, in that the prevalence ratio was 6,60. The association becomes stronger when FAG absent + altered SS(s) is considered (RP= 6,68). Chi-square test, corrected by Yates technique, showed a highly significant relation for FAG ρ= 0,00000001, for error X of 5%, or else the 95% confidence interval (ρ<0,05). Thus, the FAG absent were more expressive in ANF patient than altered SS(s) and SVW(s). The association becomes stronger in order to establish a prognostic relation, when the FAG is combined with the SS. The results os this study allow us to affirm that the FAG, when absent at ages ranging from 3 months to 5 years , is an indication of neurological compromise. FAG is an age-dependent EEG parameter and incorporated systematically, in the interpretation criteria of the EEG of children s sleep, not only in the maturational point of view, but also neurological disturbances with encephalic compromise

Hypertensive syndromes in pregnancy (HSP) are configured as one of the major complications in the pregnancy and postpartum period and can lead premature newborn and subsequent hospitalization of the newborn to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). This study aimed to analyze the perceptions, meanings and feelings of mothers on the hypertensive syndromes in pregnancy and premature obstetric labor. The research was qualitative and has a theoretical methodological the Social Representations Theory(SRT) in the approach to the Central Nucleus Theory. The study included 70 women, mean age 29 years, predominantly school to high school, most of them married or in consensual union, primiparous and prevalence of cesarean delivery occurred between 32 and 37 weeks of pregnancy.The data were collected from may to december 2008 in the Maternity School Januário Cicco in Natal , and obtained through the following instruments for data collection: questionnaire including questions about socio-demographic status; the Free Words Association Test (FWAT) and and verbalized mental image construction used three stimuli: such as pregnancy with high blood pressure, preterm birth and NICU, and interview with the following guiding question: what it meant for you to have a pregnancy with high blood pressure and consequently the birth of a premature baby? Data analysis was performed using multi-method obtained from the data processing by EVOC (Ensemble Programmes Permettant L 'Analyze des Évocations) and ALCESTE (Analyse Lexicale par Contexte d'un Ensemble de Segment de Texte) and thematic analysis in categories. The results will be presented in four thematic units under the following representative universes: HSP, prematurity as a result of HSP, NICU and the social representations of mothers on the hypertensive disorder of pregnancy sequenced premature birth and hospitalization of the child in the NICU. The results obtained by multimethod analyses showed similar constructions and point to death as the central nucleus and negative aspects, coping strategies, need of care, knowledge about the disease, fragility and meanings of the NICU as peripheral elements. It is considered that the perceptions, meanings and feelings of puerperal women in relation to HSPs and to premature delivery are a negative social representation, with representational elements that may have influenced the adverse effects on the disease and its consequences. We suggest action on the peripheral elements of this representation, with adequate orientation, early diagnosis, effective conduct, receptive attitude on the part of the team, health promotion measures and effective public policies, in order to improve the care provided to puerperal women, making them feel welcome and minimizing their suffering

The general aim of the research was to comprehend the Social Representations constructed by the man in the face of his companion s risk pregnancy caused by hypertensive syndromes. The study is of exploratory and descriptive character in a qualitative approach developed at two public maternity hospitals, both located in Natal-RN, with 65 men whose wives had undergone high-risk pregnancy. The project was submitted to the Ethics on Research Committee of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil (CEP-UFRN), with favorable report no. 81/07. For data collection, the following multimethods were employed: a word free association test; a projective test for registering mental images; and a semistructured interview schedule. The speech contents were analyzed in accordance with the Theory of Social Representations and complemented by the Central Nucleus Theory. The discussion of the results was grounded on literary findings of the companion s participation in pregnancy as well as in risk pregnancy associated with hypertensive syndromes. The data showed fear as representation s central nucleus, while recollections of that feeling referred to death of both companion and child in addition to fear of the unknown. The categories preoccupation and carefulness, other feelings, and clinical picture of the disease represented components of the peripheral nucleus. The results concerning mental images followed the same category criteria of the word free association test fear, other feelings, preoccupation, carefulness, and clinical picture of the disease. After being processed in accordance with the principles of content analysis, the statements originated three thematic unities: fear and insecurity in the presence of the companion s risk pregnancy; attitudes of carefulness to the risk pregnancy of the partner; and humanized assistance during the companion s risk pregnancy. Considering the results, the conclusion is that the partner s risk pregnancy caused by hypertensive syndromes represents, for the man, feelings of fear, preoccupation, insecurity, lack of acceptance and information, as well as attitudes of carefulness. The results reveal necessity of reorganizing the obstetric assistance with an eye to including the man as participant in the reproductive process. That demands extension of humanized carefulness to the companion with a view to make him an active coadjutor in the assistance of high-risk pregnant
