A visão biopsicossocial de homem é de fundamental importância para que os fisioterapeutas sejam capazes de atuar com seus pacientes, de forma global, sem focar a atenção apenas à doença, mas sim à pessoa doente. A compreensão acerca da profissão e dos conceitos de saúde-doença e paciente, também se faz necessária para que esses profissionais possam considerar sua intervenção num âmbito mais amplo do que a reabilitação. O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar a compreensão que os alunos do último ano de Fisioterapia de uma Universidade privada de São Paulo têm sobre saúde-doença, paciente, Fisioterapia e relacionamento fisioterapeuta-paciente e como associam estas compreensões aos modelos de saúde existentes. Para isso toma por base autores da Psicologia da Saúde que defendem uma visão biopsicossocial de homem, assim como autores da Fisioterapia e Medicina que escrevem sobre os modelos adotados nos currículos de formação dos profissionais da saúde. Foram realizadas 10 entrevistas semi-dirigidas com os alunos, apresentando questões a respeito dos temas em questão. Os resultados foram analisados de forma qualitativa através da construção de categorias de análise visando responder aos objetivos da pesquisa. Conclui-se que os alunos percebem alguns aspectos psicológicos e sociais do paciente, mas não de forma clara e, na maioria dos casos, este conhecimento se dá através de conhecimentos que não foram adquiridos na Universidade. Esta, apesar de fornecer os conteúdos para a formação mais humana do fisioterapeuta, não alcança os objetivos ao final do curso, já que os alunos oscilam entre os modelos biomédico e biopsicossocial

The presence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) increases the risk and vulnerability to adverse clinical outcomes in the elderly. Like this, we investigated the relationship between functional performance and indicators of PAD in elderly women. METHODS: Cross-sectional study in which 54 elderly were assessed by questionnaire mini mental state examination, Short Phisical Performance Battery (SPPB), ankle-brachial index (ABI), human activity profile (HAP) and Edinburgh questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA, t test and Pearson correlation. We considered p <0.05 as significance level. RESULTS: The mean age SPPB and ABI were 69.2 (± 6.9) years, SPPB 9.42 (± 2.55) and ABI 1.04 (± 0.14). The prevalence of PAD was 16.3%. There was a significant correlation between ABI and gait speed (r = 0.75, p = 0.001) and between PAH with SPPB (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: It is suggested that the decline in functional performance in older, expressed in gait velocity component of the SPPB, is related to the presence of PAD

O Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana/Síndrome da Imunodeficiência Adquirida (VIH/SIDA), é uma doença crónica, que constitui um problema de saúde pública em todo mundo, chegando a ser alarmante em alguns países principalmente nos países Africanos. Em Cabo Verde, conforme os dados estatísticos, a percentagem de população infetada pelo vírus é cerca de 0,8%. A descoberta do diagnóstico do VIH/SIDA tem como resposta os múltiplos sentimentos gerados pelo portador devido a sua fragilidade cognitiva em incorporar o diagnóstico. A trajetória da doença abrange e afeta o portador do VIH/SIDA como também a sua vivência com a família, os amigos a sociedade e o trabalho, podendo levar ao apoio como também a rejeição, com atos discriminatório e estigmatizantes. O VIH/SIDA ainda não tem cura, desta feita mostra-se que a melhor forma de combater a transmissão, é atuar na prevenção, transmitindo informações e partilhar conhecimentos, para evitar que a infeção se propaga. O estudo tem como tema “Vivência e sentimentos dos utentes portadores de VIH/SIDA, face a sua doença, em que delineou-se como objetivo geral, conhecer a vivência e os sentimentos dos utentes portadores de VIH/SIDA, face a doença. Optou-se por um estudo qualitativo, descritivo e exploratório com uma abordagem fenomenológica, sendo que o método de recolha de informações foi uma entrevista semiestruturada. A população alvo deste estudo foi constituída por cinco (5) utentes portadores de VIH/SIDA inscritos na Associação de Seropositivos VIH/SIDA de São Vicente. Na análise dos resultados mostra que os entrevistados têm perceção sobre a doença em si, em que cada um apresenta uma forma diferente de viver a doença tanto a nível familiar, como com os amigos, na sociedade e no trabalho, alguns sendo vítimas de preconceitos derivado da não-aceitação da doença. Observou-se que os sentimentos desenvolvidos pelos utentes são reversos e depende da forma como incorporam psicologicamente o diagnóstico. Um outro achado importante é o fato das intervenções de enfermagem serem insuficientes, faltando a parte humana nesses cuidados.

BACKGROUND: Strictureplasty is an alternative surgical procedure for Crohn?s disease, particulary in patients with previous resections or many intestinal stenosis. AIM: To analyze surgical complications and clinical follow-up in patients submitted to strictureplasty secondary to Crohn?s disease. METHODS: Twenty-eight patients (57.1% male, mean age 33.3 years, range 16-54 years) with Crohn?s disease and intestinal stenosis (small bowel, ileocecal region and ileocolic anastomosis) were submitted to strictureplasty, at one institution, between September 1991 and May 2004. Thirteen patients had previous intestinal resections. The mean follow-up was 58.1 months. A total of 116 strictureplasties were done (94 Heineke-Mikulicz - 81%, 15 Finney - 13%, seven side-to-side ileocolic strictureplasty - 6%). Three patients were submitted to strictureplasty at two different surgical procedures and two in three procedures. RESULTS: Regarding to strictureplasty, postoperative complication rate was 25% and mortality was 3.6%. Early local complication rate was 57.1%, with three suture leaks (10.7%) and late complication was present in two patients, both with incisional hernial and enterocutaneous fistulas (28.6%). Patients remained hospitalized during a medium time of 12.4 days. Clinical and surgical recurrence rates were 63% and 41%, respectively. Among the patients submitted to another surgery, two patients had two more operations and one had three. Recurrence rate at strictureplasty site was observed in 3.5%, being Finney technique the commonest one. Presently, 19 patients had been asymptomatic with the majority of them under medical therapy. CONCLUSION: Strictureplasties have low complication rates, in spite of having been done at compromised site, with long term pain relief. Considering the clinical course of Crohn?s disease, with many patients being submitted to intestinal resections, strictureplasties should be considered as an effective surgical treatment to spare long intestinal resections.

BACKGROUND: Total rectocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is the choice surgical procedure for patients with ulcerative colitis. In cases of Crohn's disease post-operative diagnosis, it can be followed by pouch failure. AIM: To evaluate ileal pouch-anal anastomosis long-term outcome in patients with Crohn's disease. METHODS: Between February 1983 and March 2007, 151 patients were submitted to ileal pouch-anal anastomosis by Campinas State University Colorectal Unit, Campinas, SP, Brazil, 76 had pre-operative ulcerative colitis diagnosis and 11 had post-operative Crohn's disease diagnosis. Crohn's disease diagnosis was made by histopathological biopsies in nine cases, being one in surgical specimen, two cases in rectal stump, small bowel in two cases, ileal pouch in three and in perianal abscess in one of them. The median age was 30.6 years and eight (72.7%) were female. RESULTS: All patients had previous ulcerative colitis diagnosis and in five cases emergency colectomy was done by toxic megacolon. The mean time until of Crohn's disease diagnosis was 30.6 (6-80) months after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. Ileostomy closure was possible in 10 cases except in one that had ileal pouch fistula, perianal disease and small bowel involvement. In the long-term follow-up, three patients had perineal fistulas and one had also a pouch-vaginal fistula. All of them were submitted to a new ileostomy and one had the pouch excised. Another patient presented pouch-vaginal fistula which was successfully treated by mucosal flap. Three patients had small bowel involvement and three others, pouch involvement. All improved with medical treatment. Presently, the mean follow-up is 76.5 months and all patients are in clinical remission, and four have fecal diversion. The remaining patients have good functional results with 6-10 bowel movements/day. CONCLUSION: Crohn's disease diagnosis after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis may be usual and later complications such fistulas and stenosis are common. However, when left in situ ileal pouch is associated with good function.

The theme of human formation is at the centre of the philosophy of education, whose aim is precisely the process of human promotion brought about by education. Starting from the critical vigilance proper to philosophy, the text sketches a phenomenology of the present time, verifying that the ideas prevailing in education at present are centred on the critique of reason and on the notions of truth and objectivity. This neo-pragmatism, which in the attempt to oppose metaphysics becomes deeply metaphysical, reducing everything to language, is contested by the authors with Marx's thoughts as a historicising philosophy that concerns not abstract subjects, but real individuals, historical subjects that are constituted as a synthesis of social relations. To that end, the authors resort to the historical ontological reflection on human formation contained in Marx's Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844. The article concludes by defending the proposition that access to the classics is a necessary condition for human formation.

Purpose: An experimental study to evaluate the behavior of polytetrafluoroethylene (Gore-Tex®) compared with human sclera, in scleral perforations induced in rabbits eyes was performed. Methods: Twenty-two eyes of rabbits were submitted to scleral perforation followed by Gore-Tex® graft in the left eye and human sclera graft in the right eye respectively. During one month the postoperative evolution was analyzed every day: intensity of hyperemia, presence of infection, secretion, rejection and tonicity of the eyes. Results: No cases of secretion, infection or rejection were observed. The histological sections showed fibrosis in the eyes with Gore-Tex®, good adhesion and epithelization. Conclusion: The Gore-Tex® showed to be a plausible material to be used as graft in scleral defects with some advantages such as easy obtention, good handling and durability.
