DISCORDANCE BETWEEN BODY MASS INDEX AND ANTHROPOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS AMONG HIV-1-INFECTED PATIENTS ON ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY AND WITH LIPOATROPHY/LIPOHYPERTROPHY SYNDROME

Introduction: Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) has improved and extended the lives of thousands of people living with HIV/AIDS around the world. However, this treatment can lead to the development of adverse reactions such as lipoatrophy/lipohypertrophy syndrome (LLS) and its associated risks. Objective: This study was designed to assess the prevalence of self-reported lipodystrophy and nutritional status by anthropometric measurements in patients with HIV/AIDS. Methods: An observational study of 227 adult patients in the Secondary Immunodeficiencies Outpatient Department of Dermatology, Hospital das Clínicas, Faculty of Medicine, University of São Paulo (3002 ADEE-HCFMUSP). The sample was divided into three groups; Group 1 = 92 patients on HAART and with self-reported lipodystrophy, Group 2 = 70 patients on HAART without self-reported lipodystrophy and Group 3 = 65 patients not taking HAART. The nutritional status of individuals in the study sample was determined by body mass index (BMI) and percentage of body fat (% BF). The cardiovascular risk and diseases associated with abdominal obesity were determined by waist/hip ratio (WHR) and waist circumference (WC). Results: The prevalence of self-reported lipoatrophy/lipohypertrophy syndrome was 33% among women and 59% among men. Anthropometry showed depletion of fat mass in the evaluation of the triceps (TSF) in the treatment groups with HAART and was statistically independent of gender; for men p = 0.001, and for women p = 0.007. Similar results were found in the measurement of skin folds of the upper and lower body (p = 0.001 and p = 0.003 respectively). In assessing the nutritional status of groups by BMI and % BF, excess weight and body fat were more prevalent among women compared to men (p = 0.726). The WHR and WC revealed risks for cardiovascular and other diseases associated with abdominal obesity for women on HAART and with self-reported LLS (p = 0.005) and (p = 0.011). Conclusions: Anthropometric measurements were useful in the confirmation of the prevalence of LLS. BMI alone does not appear to be a good parameter for assessing the nutritional status of HIV-infected patients on HAART and with LLS. Other anthropometric measurements are needed to evaluate patients with the lipoatrophy/lipohypertrophy syndrome.

COMPARISON BETWEEN FOUR USUAL METHODS OF IDENTIFICATION OF Candida SPECIES

SUMMARY Infection by Candidaspp. is associated with high mortality rates, especially when treatment is not appropriate and/or not immediate. Therefore, it is necessary to correctly identify the genus and species of Candida. The aim of this study was to compare the identification of 89 samples of Candida spp. by the manual methods germ tube test, auxanogram and chromogenic medium in relation to the ID 32C automated method. The concordances between the methods in ascending order, measured by the Kappa index were: ID 32C with CHROMagar Candida(κ = 0.38), ID 32C with auxanogram (κ = 0.59) and ID 32C with germ tube (κ = 0.9). One of the species identified in this study was C. tropicalis,which demonstrated a sensitivity of 46.2%, a specificity of 95.2%, PPV of 80%, NPV of 81.1%, and an accuracy of 80.9% in tests performed with CHROMagar Candida;and a sensitivity of 76.9%, a specificity of 96.8%, PPV of 90.9%, NPV of 91%, and an accuracy of 91% in the auxanogram tests. Therefore, it is necessary to know the advantages and limitations of methods to choose the best combination between them for a fast and correct identification of Candidaspecies.

Comparison of Methods and Co-Registration Maps of EEG and fMRI in Occipital Lobe Epilepsy

Clinically childhood occipital lobe epilepsy (OLE) manifests itself with distinct syndromes. The traditional EEG recordings have not been able to overcome the difficulty in correlating the ictal clinical symptoms to the onset in particular areas of the occipital lobes. To understand these syndromes it is important to map with more precision the epileptogenic cortical regions in OLE. Experimentally, we studied three idiopathic childhood OLE patients with EEG source analysis and with the simultaneous acquisition of EEG and fMRI, to map the BOLD effect associated with EEG spikes. The spatial overlap between the EEG and BOLD results was not very good, but the fMRI suggested localizations more consistent with the ictal clinical manifestations of each type of epileptic syndrome. Since our first results show that by associating the BOLD effect with interictal spikes the epileptogenic areas are mapped to localizations different from those calculated from EEG sources and that by using different EEG/fMRI processing methods our results differ to some extent, it is very important to compare the different methods of processing the localization of activation and develop a good methodology for obtaining co-registration maps of high resolution EEG with BOLD localizations.

COMPARISON OF PERMANENT STAINING METHODS FOR THE LABORATORY DIAGNOSIS OF TRICHOMONIASIS

Trichomonas vaginalis is the etiologic agent of trichomoniasis, the most common non-viral sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the world. The diagnosis is based on wet mount preparation and direct microscopy on fixed and stained clinical specimens. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of different fixing and staining techniques used in the detection of T. vaginalis in urine. The smears were fixed and submitted to different methods of permanent staining and then, the morphological aspects of the parasites were analyzed and compared. The Papanicolaou staining with ethanol as the fixative solution showed to be the best method of permanent staining. Our data suggest that staining techniques in association with wet mount examination of fresh specimens contribute to increase the sensitivity in the diagnosis of trichomoniasis.

PREVALENCE OF BACTERIAL RESISTANCE IN HOSPITALIZED CIRRHOTIC PATIENTS IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL: A NEW CHALLENGE

Background & Aims: An increased frequency of infections by multiresistant bacteria has been described in hospitalized patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bacterial resistance profile in cirrhotic patients. Methods: This is a retrospective observational study. We assessed the antimicrobial susceptibility of 5,839 bacterial isolates from patients with and without cirrhosis. Regarding the multidrug resistance, we evaluated 4,505 bacterial isolates from 2,180 patients. Results: Two hundred and fifty-one patients had cirrhosis (mean age 57.6 ± 11 years; 61.8% were male, 47.8% of cases associated with hepatitis C virus). Of the isolates of patients with and without cirrhosis, 174/464 (37.5%) and 1,783/4,041 (44.1%) were multiresistant, respectively (p = 0.007). E. coli was the most common multiresistant bacteria in both groups. Approximately 20% of E. coli and Klebsiella sp. isolates were ESBL-producers and 44% of S. aureus isolates were methicillin-resistant in cirrhotic patients. In cirrhotic patients admitted to the emergency department, hospital ward, and intensive care unit, 28.3%, 50% and 40% had multiresistant isolates, respectively. In patients with and without cirrhosis, 36.2% and 33.5% of isolates were resistant to third-generation cephalosporins, respectively. Conclusions: The empirical treatment of infections in hospitalized patients using broad-spectrum antibiotics should consider the observed pattern of bacterial resistance.

Caracterização da actividade física nos idosos e a sua relação com a capacidade física, em pessoas com mais de 75 anos

RESUMO: Objectivo: O presente estudo tem como objectivo caracterizar os níveis de actividade física das pessoas com mais de 75 anos e analisar a sua relação com as diferentes componentes da aptidão física. Enquadramento: A actividade física é indispensável para todos mas, os idosos é quem mais beneficia (Fischer, 2005). Actua na prevenção e na reabilitação, fortalecendo a aptidão física, e a autonomia do idoso, permitindo manter, por mais tempo, a capacidade de execução das actividades de vida diárias (Shephard, 2003). A prática de actividade física contribui por exemplo, para a prevenção de quedas, reforçando a aptidão física e o equilíbrio postural. Por outro lado, o baixo nível de aptidão física repercute-se no aumento da actividade sedentária. Os homens têm uma adesão à actividade física de 45% e as mulheres de 28% (Melo et. al., 2007). Métodos: Este é um estudo observacional, correlacional e transversal. Foram avaliados 66 participantes (média de idade de 80,11 ± 3,83 anos), não institucionalizados. O processo de amostragem foi não probabilístico acidental por conveniência. Todos os idosos deram o seu consentimento informado. A actividade física foi avaliada através do questionário do Yale Physical Activity Survey, e foi desenvolvido um diário, para uma semana-tipo, para averiguar os hábitos de actividades diárias, nas últimas quatro semanas. A aptidão física foi avaliada pela bateria de testes de Rikli e Jones (1999),nomeadamente a força, a flexibilidade, a resistência aeróbia e a agilidade e equilíbrio. Os dados foram analisados através da estatística descritiva e para averiguar as possíveis associações entre a actividade física e a aptidão física, recorreu-se á estatística inferencial. Não tendo sido verificada a normalidade da amostra com o teste kolmogorov-smirnov, foram utilizados testes não paramétricos, nomeadamente o teste U Mann – Whitney e o coeficiente de correlação de Spearman (p≤0,05). Resultados: Constatou-se que os idosos em média praticavam 480, 23 minutos por semana de actividade moderada, cerca 11,04% do seu tempo, superior ao recomendado pela literatura (>150 minutos por semana). A actividade física moderada apresentou relações positivas com a aptidão física, na força dos membros inferiores, na resistência aeróbia e na agilidade e equilíbrio. Os homens têm maior agilidade e equilíbrio (p=0,002) e força dos membros inferiores (p=0,025) que as mulheres. Os homens passam mais tempo em actividade moderada do que as mulheres. Ainda superam no gasto energético em cada actividade que praticam durante a semana. As mulheres passam mais tempo em actividade sedentária e actividade ligeira. Conclusão: Quanto mais tempo de prática de actividade física moderada melhor a força dos membros inferiores, a resistência aeróbia, a agilidade e o equilíbrio dinâmico. Recomenda-se uma reflexão sobre a possível intervenção na estruturação das actividades diárias do idoso e uma intervenção mais direccionada às idosas, na força do membro inferior, na agilidade e na resistência aeróbia.----------------------- ABSTRACT:Purpose: The present study aims to characterize the physical activity levels of people over 75 years and analyze their relationship with the different components of physical fitness. Background: Physical activity is essential for all but the elderly who are more benefit (Fischer, 2005). It works on prevention and rehabilitation, strengthening physical fitness,and independence of older people, maintaining, for longer, the ability to implement the activities of daily living (Shephard, 2003). The physical activity contributes for example, for the prevention of falls by strengthening physical fitness and postural balance. Moreover, the low level of physical fitness level is reflected in the increase of sedentary activity. Men have an adherence to physical activity of 45% and women 28% (Melo et. al, 2007) Methods: This was an observational, cross-sectional and correlational. We evaluated 66 participants (mean age 80.11 ± 3.83 years), not institutionalized. The sampling procedure was non accidental probabilistic convenience. All seniors gave their informed consent. Physical activity was assessed by questionnaire at the Yale Physical Activity Survey was developed and a diary-type for a week, to ascertain the habits of daily activities in the last four weeks. Physical fitness was assessed by the battery of tests Rikli and Jones (1999), including strength, flexibility, endurance and agility and balance. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and to investigate possible associations between physical activity and physical fitness, we used will inferential statistics. Not having been verified the sample normality with Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, we used non-parametric tests, including the test U Mann - Whitney and Spearman correlation coefficient (p ≤ 0.05). Results: It was found that older people on average practiced 480, 23 minutes per week of moderate activity, about 11,04% of the time, higher than recommended in the literature (> 150 minutes per week). A moderate physical activity had positive correlations with physical fitness, lower limb strength, endurance and aerobic agility and balance. Men have greater agility and balance (p = 0.002) and lower-limb strength (p = 0.025) than women. Men spend more time in moderate activity than women. Still outweigh the energy expenditure for each activity they practice during the week. Women spend more time in sedentary activity and light activity. Conclusion: The more practice time in moderate physical activity best lower-limb strength,aerobic resistance, agility and dynamic balance. It is recommended that a reflection on the possible intervention in structuring the daily activities of the elderly and a more targeted to the woman elderly, especially lower limb strength, agility and endurance.

Estudo dos rácios trapézio inferior/ trapézio superior e grande dentado/ trapézio superior, em exercícios com envolvimento das articulações escapulo-torácica e gleno-umeral : recurso à electromiografia de superfície

RESUMO: Introdução: A estabilidade dinâmica relativa ao complexo articular do ombro depende de uma interacção perfeita entre músculos da coifa dos rotadores e músculos escapulares, como o binómio rotador da escápula – trapézio superior e trapézio inferior e o grande dentado. A compreensão dessas sinergias musculares em sujeitos assintomáticos permite, em última instância, o desenvolvimento de linhas orientadoras de raciocínio na abordagem clínica. Objectivo: Estudar o rácio de activação entre os músculos trapézio inferior e trapézio superior e entre grande dentado e trapézio superior, através de um conjunto de cinco exercícios aplicados a uma amostra de sujeitos assintomáticos, estabelecendo uma hierarquia entre esses rácios. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, com uma amostra de 15 sujeitos saudáveis (n=9 homens; n=6 mulheres), com idades compreendidas entre os 19 e 27 anos (média=21 anos, dp=2,24), tendo sido avaliados por um sistema de electromiografia de superfície, em dois momentos de recolha diferentes. Os exercícios foram realizados em cadeia cinética aberta, sem qualquer aplicação de resistências externas. Resultados: De entre os exercícios analisados com envolvimento escapulo-torácico e gleno-umeral simultaneamente, destacaram-se com melhor rácio trapézio inferior/trapézio superior e grande dentado/trapézio superior (activação dos músculos trapézio inferior e grande dentado superior à activação do trapézio superior) os movimentos de flexão do ombro até aos 90º no plano sagital e a abdução do ombro até aos 90º no plano da escápula, considerando ambas as recolhas. Nos exercícios apenas com envolvimento escapulotorácico, destacaram-se com melhor rácio os movimentos de adução e depressão das escápulas bilateralmente com os membros superiores em repouso, seguido da abdução da escápula, com o ombro a 90º de flexão e mantendo a escápula em depressão (“murro à frente”), em ambas as recolhas. O exercício de abdução do ombro até aos 90º no plano frontal obteve sempre o pior rácio muscular, nos dois momentos de recolha. Conclusões: O presente trabalho estudou as interacções dos músculos escapulotorácicos em cinco exercícios realizados até aos 90º de elevação do membro superior,em cadeia cinética aberta e sem recurso a resistências externas. Será, eventualmente possível, enquadrar os exercícios propostos nas fases de consciencialização e associação de reaprendizagem motora. Sugerem-se futuros estudos com uso de análise cinemática. --------------------ABSTRACT: Introduction: Stability of the shoulder and scapula depend upon a perfect interaction between rotator cuff of the shoulder and scapular muscles, such as upper and lower trapezius and serratus anterior. A deeper comprehension of these synergies in healthy subjects allows, ultimately, the development of a better reasoning in the clinical approach. Goal: To study the ratios between lower trapezius/ upper trapezius and between serratus anterior/ upper trapezius in five different exercises, applied to healthy subjects, presenting a hierarchy between ratios. Methods: It’s an observational descriptive study including 15 healthy subjects (n= 9 men; n=6 women) with ages between 19 and 27 years (mean of 21 years, SD of 2,24). Surface electromyography was used in two different recording moments. All the exercises were performed in open kinetic chain, without external resistance. Results: Of the exercises studied that involved the shoulder and scapula together, the best ratios between lower trapezius/upper trapezius and serratus anterior/ upper trapezius (greater activity for lower trapezius and serratus anterior and less for upper trapezius) were found in shoulder flexion to 90º and in shoulder abduction to 90º in the plane of the scapula, in both recording moments. Considering the exercises that included only the scapula, the best ratio were found in bilateral adduction and depression of the scapula with the upper limbs resting and in abduction of the scapula, while being in depression, with the shoulder flexed at 90º, considering both recordings. Shoulder abduction to 90º in the coronal plane presented the worse ratio in both recording moments. Conclusions: This present paper studied the interaction of the scapula upward rotator muscles in five exercises performed below 90º of shoulder flexion or abduction, in open kinetic chain, with no external resistance. It may be possible to associate our exercises with the motor learning phases of association and consciousness. Future studies are suggested with kinematic analysis.

Neuromyelitis Optica in Portugal (NEMIPORT) - A Multicentre Study

BACKGROUND: Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the CNS. There have been few epidemiologic studies on NMO, none in Portugal. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical, biological and MRI characteristics from a cohort of Portuguese patients who fulfilled the Wingerchuk 2006 NMO/NMOSD criteria. To identify and characterize those who had concomitant autoimmune disease or circulating autoantibodies. METHODS: We performed an observational, retrospective, multicenter study in 5 Hospital Centers in Portugal. RESULTS: Sixty-seven patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. They were mainly Caucasian, 55 female. Median age at onset was 32.0 years and mean follow-up 7.4±6.0 years. Twenty-one patients were definite NMO and optic neuritis (ON) the most frequent initial presentation. Forty-six were classified as NMO spectrum disorders. The main subtypes were recurrent ON and single longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis. Twenty-four patients had positive AQP4-IgG. Twenty-three had other circulating autoantibodies. Fifteen out of 67 patients had concomitant autoimmune disease. There was a significant correlation between the presence of autoimmune disease and the positivity for AQP4-IgG. Five patients died, all definite NMO. CONCLUSION: This is the first study about this rare disease in Portugal. Demographic features were similar to other studies. The existence of concomitant autoimmune disease was significantly associated with seropositivity for AQP4-IgG.

Variation in Haemodynamic Monitoring for Major Surgery in European Nations: Secondary Analysis of the EuSOS Dataset

BACKGROUND: The use of cardiac output monitoring may improve patient outcomes after major surgery. However, little is known about the use of this technology across nations. METHODS: This is a secondary analysis of a previously published observational study. Patients aged 16 years and over undergoing major non-cardiac surgery in a 7-day period in April 2011 were included into this analysis. The objective is to describe prevalence and type of cardiac output monitoring used in major surgery in Europe. RESULTS: Included in the analysis were 12,170 patients from the surgical services of 426 hospitals in 28 European nations. One thousand four hundred and sixteen patients (11.6 %) were exposed to cardiac output monitoring, and 2343 patients (19.3 %) received a central venous catheter. Patients with higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores were more frequently exposed to cardiac output monitoring (ASA I and II, 643 patients [8.6 %]; ASA III-V, 768 patients [16.2 %]; p < 0.01) and central venous catheter (ASA I and II, 874 patients [11.8 %]; ASA III-V, 1463 patients [30.9 %]; p < 0.01). In elective surgery, 990 patients (10.8 %) were exposed to cardiac output monitoring, in urgent surgery 252 patients (11.7 %) and in emergency surgery 173 patients (19.8 %). A central venous catheter was used in 1514 patients (16.6 %) undergoing elective, in 480 patients (22.2 %) undergoing urgent and in 349 patients (39.9 %) undergoing emergency surgery. Nine hundred sixty patients (7.9 %) were monitored using arterial waveform analysis, 238 patients (2.0 %) using oesophageal Doppler ultrasound, 55 patients (0.5 %) using a pulmonary artery catheter and 44 patients (2.0 %) using other technologies. Across nations, cardiac output monitoring use varied from 0.0 % (0/249 patients) to 27.5 % (19/69 patients), whilst central venous catheter use varied from 5.6 % (7/125 patients) to 43.2 % (16/37 patients). CONCLUSIONS: One in ten patients undergoing major surgery is exposed to cardiac output monitoring whilst one in five receives a central venous catheter. The use of both technologies varies widely across Europe.

Serum Trace Elements in Dysphagic Gastrostomy Candidates Before Endoscopic Gastrostomy for Long Term Enteral Feeding

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Patients who underwent endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) present protein-energy malnutrition, but little is known about Trace Elements (TE), Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Selenium (Se), Iron (Fe), Chromium (Cr). Our aim was the evaluation of serum TE in patients who underwent PEG and its relationship with serum proteins, BMI and nature of underlying disorder. METHODS: A prospective observational study was performed collecting: patient's age, gender, underlying disorder, NRS-2002, BMI, serum albumin, transferrin and TE concentration. We used ferrozine colorimetric method for Fe; Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy for Zn/Cu; Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy for Se/Cr. The patients were divided into head and neck cancer (HNC) and neurological dysphagia (ND). RESULTS: 146 patients (89 males), 21-95 years: HNC-56; ND-90. Low BMI in 78. Low values mostly for Zn (n = 122) and Fe (n = 69), but less for Se (n = 31), Cu (n = 16), Cr (n = 7); low albumin in 77, low transferrin in 94 and 66 with both proteins low. Significant differences between the groups of underlying disease only for Zn (t140.326 = -2,642, p < 0.01) and a correlation between proteins and TE respectively albumin and Zn (r = 0.197, p = 0.025), and albumin and Fe (r = 0.415, p = 0.000). CONCLUSIONS: When gastrostomy was performed, patients display low serum TE namely Zn, but also Fe, less striking regarding others TE. It was related with prolonged fasting, whatever the underlying disease. Low proteins were associated with low TE. Teams taking care of PEG-patients should use Zn supplementation and include other TE evaluation as part of the nutritional assessment of PEG candidates.

Erros de medicação num serviço de internamento hospitalar : estudo de prevalência

RESUMO - Os erros de medicação (EM) são uma das principais causas de eventos adversos, estimando-se serem as causas não relacionados com procedimentos cirúrgicos mais frequentes. Estes podem ser classificados por erros latentes ou erros ativos. Objetivos Definiram-se como principais objetivos deste estudo, determinar a prevalência de EM ativos num internamento hospitalar evitados e não evitados, nos momentos da prescrição escrita, transcrição, distribuição e administração, bem como a sua relação com algumas variáveis, como o Grupo farmacológico, Via de administração, Especialidade médica do prescritor e Área médica do médico responsável pelo episódio de internamento (MREI). Metodologia O estudo foi do tipo observacional descritivo de abordagem quantitativa, transversal com recrutamento prospetivo. Foi utilizado um instrumento de observação (check-list) para o registo de todos os EM e das variáveis em cada fase. Resultados Foram observadas 513 unidades amostrais com uma prevalência de 98,2% de EM, num total de 1655 erros dos quais 75% foram evitados. Nas variáveis Grupo farmacológico e Área médica do MREI não foram encontradas relações estatísticas relevantes. Obteve-se um OR=1,97 [1,18;3,27] para medicamentos orais quando comparados aos endovenosos nos erros de prescrição (EP) e um OR=7 [2,77;17,71] quando comparados com os endovenosos na transcrição dos Serviços Farmacêuticos (TSF). A anestesiologia apresentou um OR=0,41 [0,27;0,63] nos EP comparativamente às outras especialidades. Do total de EM observaram-se 30% de erros de prescrição (EP), 20% de erros na transcrição do internamento, 36% de erros na TSF, 2% de erros na distribuição e 12% de erros na administração. Os erros mais prevalentes foram a identificação do prescritor ilegível (16%) e a identificação do doente omissa na TSF (16%). Conclusão Apesar da elevada prevalência de EM observados, a maioria dos erros foram corrigidos e não chegaram ao doente. Tendo em conta os EM observados, a utilização de meios informáticos e o aumento da adesão dos enfermeiros ao procedimento de identificação dos doentes poderão permitir a redução do número de EM em cerca de 80%, reduzindo também a probabilidade de ocorrência de eventos adversos relacionados com os erros ativos na utilização de medicamentos.
