Short Guide to Hepatitis C

Hepatitis C is a rapidly developing area of medicine – diagnostic tools are ever more refined, and entirely new treatments and treatment strategies are arriving, with more on the horizon. And because the virus affects such a large and varying population – up to 170 million at last count – we think it is important to have a pocket reference especially devoted to hepatitis C. We look forward to your comments on the usefulness of our 2014 Short Guide to Hepatitis C, which is an expansion and update of the HCV chapters in Hepatology – A Clinical Textbook (2014), also published by Flying Publisher. As always, we invite qualified people everywhere to translate this book into other languages, and make them available widely. This web-based free-of- harge concept is made possible by unrestricted educational grants from the pharmaceutical industry and has allowed the material to reach countries usually not covered by print media. We are convinced that this new pocket guide concept, focusing here on hepatitis C, will become a valuable source of information for our readers.

Redes sociais de saúde como grupos de suporte online na vida de pacientes com doenças cardiovasculares

Existe um aumento no conjunto de pacientes que utilizam a internet em busca de informações que possam melhorar suas condições de saúde. Nele, distinguem-se pacientes que procuram ambientes virtuais para expor experiências, dúvidas, opiniões, emoções e inclusive criar relacionamentos visando dar ou receber apoio. Nesse sentido, há uma crescente necessidade de estudar como estes ambientes podem repercutir na saúde dos pacientes. Este artigo tem por objetivo identificar na literatura científica estudos sobre a proliferação e impacto das comunidades virtuais conhecidas como Redes Sociais de Saúde ou Grupos de Suporte Online, voltados para doenças cardiovasculares, que podem ser úteis aos pacientes com determinadas doenças, permitindo-lhes obter informação e apoio emocional. Para o levantamento bibliográfico, foi realizada revisão sistemática da literatura com artigos publicados entre 2007-2012, nas bases de dados PubMed, Association for Computing Machinery e Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineer, que se encontram relacionados com o tema proposto, e foram selecionados quatro artigos, segundo os critérios de inclusão dos métodos. Os resultados encontrados revelam dados interessantes, relevantes segundo o aspecto de saúde, os quais podem trazer alguns benefícios terapêuticos, destacando: provisão de suporte emocional, maior adesão ao tratamento, compartilhamento de informação sobre as doenças e obtenção de experiências de vida.
