Chronic heart failure (CHF) is the final common pathway of most diseases affecting the heart, being responsible for a high level of mortality and hospitalization, as well as significant reduction in quality of life of those affected. Interventions that claim to optimize patient adherence to their medical regimen, and improve self-care behavior, have proven effective in preventing unplanned admissions and improves the outcome for patients, however, studies have shown the problem of non-adherence, and some psychological instruments have been used to show that traces indicate difficulties with treatment adherence. Having shown this, the aim of this work is to evaluate the evidence of validity of the Millon Behavioral Medicine Diagnostic (MBMD) in a population of patients with CHF. The study included individuals with CHF, males and females, between the age of 18 and 85 years, treated in a reference hospital in the city of NatalRN. A total of 120 patients answered, in addition to the MBMD, another questionnaire structured with sociodemographic aspects and clinical itens. The results indicated that the parameter of the MBMD reliability was satisfactory the most of extracted factors, and some scale. In terms of the population studied, we could verify that the disease was more prevalent in men, but women had the highest average in indicators related to negative health habits and depressed mood. Younger pacients and those who had no partner had the highest averages in groups of items that dealt with feelings of sadness and discouragement. Hasn’t been observed differences related to negative health habits and problematic adherence among patients in different functional classes. More studies in this research line, with a larger population and from other regions of the country, are needed in order to expand the data presented here

INTRODUCTION: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health problem, with increasing prevalence in its terminal stage and one of the factors that can contribute is the failure to recognize the disease and its risk factors. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the knowledge of medical residents (MR) and medical preceptors (MP) in hospitals in the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte in Natal-RN - Brazil, on the DRC, based on the policy of the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO ). METHODS: Cross-sectional study where 64 MR (R1 = 32; R2 = 15; R3 = 17) and 63 MP answered a questionnaire divided into seven sessions that addressed aspects of the DRC since the setting up referral to a nephrologist. RESULTS: Only 20 participants (15.7%) reported using any guidelines for the management of CKD. The scores obtained by session were: Definition and classification (46.1 ± 47.8); Risk factors (70.5 ± 27.9); Laboratory evaluation (58.2 ± 8.8); Clinical action plan (57.6 ± 19.9); Reduction in proteinuria (68.3 ± 15.0); Complications (64.8 ± 19.9); Referral to a nephrologist (73.0 ± 44.6). There was a statistically significant difference between the knowledge of MR and MP in the sessions: Laboratory evaluation (MR 61.5 ± 8.4 vs 54.8 ± 7.9 MP; p <0.001); Reduction in proteinuria (73.1 ± 11.4 vs MR MP 63.5 ± 16.7; p <0.001) and Referral to a nephrologist (MR 81.2 ± 39.3 vs 64.5 ± 48.2 MP; p = 0.035). Among the MR, the R2 obtained the best score (63.9 ± 22.6 vs R1 R2 R3 71.9 ± 17.2 vs 63.5 ± 22.5, p = 0.445). It identified a low percentage of success of the doctors on the definition of CKD (MP = 46%; R1 = 40.6%; R2 = 60%; R3 = 52.9%; p = 0.623) and classification (MP = 34.9%; R1 = 53.1%, R2 = 60%; R3 = 52.9%; p = 0.158). CONCLUSION: The study showed that most doctors do not use any guidelines for clinical management of CKD and that there are gaps in knowledge on the subject, even among physicians who work in the university environment. In this sense, we propose the realization of mini-workshops for participants and students from boarding UFRN, using Case-Based Learning Strategy (CBL), with small group discussion, to strengthen the incorporation of CKD guidelines in undergraduate teaching and in clinical medical practice in general.

Chronic Hepatitis C is the leading cause of chronic liver disease in advanced final stage of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and of death related to liver disease. Evolves progressively in time 20-30 years. Evolutionary rates vary depending on factors virus, host and behavior. This study evaluated the impact of hepatitis C on the lives of patients treated at a referral service in Hepatology of the University Hospital Onofre Lopes - Liver Study Group - from May 1995 to December 2013. A retrospective evaluation was performed on 10,304 records, in order to build a cohort of patients with hepatitis C, in which all individuals had their diagnosis confirmed by gold standard molecular biological test. Data were obtained directly from patient charts and recorded in an Excel spreadsheet, previously built, following an elaborate encoding with the study variables, which constitute individual data and prognostic factors defined in the literature in the progression of chronic hepatitis C. The Research Ethics Committee approved the project. The results were statistically analyzed with the Chi-square test and Fisher's exact used to verify the association between variable for the multivariate analysis, we used the Binomial Logistic regression method. For both tests, it was assumed significance p < 0.05 and 95%. The results showed that the prevalence of chronic hepatitis C in NEF was 4.96 %. The prevalence of cirrhosis due to hepatitis C was 13.7%. The prevalence of diabetes in patients with Hepatitis C was 8.78 % and diabetes in cirrhotic patients with hepatitis C 38.0 %. The prevalence of HCC was 5.45%. The clinical follow-up discontinuation rates were 67.5 %. The mortality in confirmed cases without cirrhosis was 4.10% and 32.1% in cirrhotic patients. The factors associated with the development of cirrhosis were genotype 1 (p = 0.0015) and bilirubin > 1.3 mg % (p = 0.0017). Factors associated with mortality were age over 35 years, abandon treatment, diabetes, insulin use, AST> 60 IU, ALT> 60 IU, high total bilirubin, extended TAP, INR high, low albumin, treatment withdrawal, cirrhosis and hepatocarcinoma. The occurrence of diabetes mellitus increased mortality of patients with hepatitis C in 6 times. Variables associated with the diagnosis of cirrhosis by us were blood donor (odds ratio 0.24, p = 0.044) and professional athlete (odds ratio 0.18, p = 0.35). It is reasonable to consider a revaluation in screening models for CHC currently proposed. The condition of cirrhosis and diabetes modifies the clinical course of patients with chronical hepatitis C, making it a disease more mortality. However, being a blood donor or professional athlete is a protective factor that reduces the risk of cirrhosis, independent of alcohol consumption. Public policies to better efficient access, hosting and resolution are needed for this population.

Este estudo pretende explorar a natureza da vergonha, enquanto vivência emocional, e a sua relação com a solidão nos doentes mentais crónicos. Foi avaliada a vergonha interna e externa, a solidão, e estados emocionais negativos, nomeadamente a depressão, ansiedade e stress. Nesta investigação participaram 41 utentes com diagnóstico de perturbação mental. Para avaliar as variáveis psicológicas pretendidas foi utilizada a Escala de Vergonha Interna (ISS), a Escala de Vergonha Externa (OAS), A Escala de Solidão UCLA e a Escala de Depressão, Ansiedade e Stress (DASS-21). Os resultados indicaram que os doentes mentais da nossa amostra apresentam maiores níveis de vergonha comparativamente à população geral. São as mulheres que apresentam valores mais elevados de vergonha interna, enquanto os divorciados apresentam maiores índices de vergonha externa e de solidão. Os doentes que têm uma actividade laboral manifestam menores níveis de solidão e de depressão. Quanto mais elevadas as habilitações literárias dos participantes, menor é o nível de ansiedade. No estudo de comparação entre doentes institucionalizados e não-institucionalizados, verificou-se que os primeiros apresentam níveis significativamente mais elevados de ansiedade, não se distinguindo relativamente à percepção de solidão e de vergonha (interna e externa). A análise da relação entre as variáveis evidenciou que os valores de vergonha interna e de solidão estavam associados de forma positiva e elevada à depressão e de forma moderada à ansiedade e stress. Não obstante as limitações reconhecidas, o presente estudo contribuiu para um melhor conhecimento dos estados emocionais negativos nos doentes mentais. / This study aims to explore the nature of shame, while emotional experience and its relationship with loneliness in the chronic mentally ill. We evaluated the internal and external shame, loneliness, and negative emotional states, including depression, anxiety and stress. 41 users participated in this investigation with a diagnosis of mental disorder. To assess the psychological variables was intended to use Internal Shame Scale (ISS), the Foreign Shame Scale (OAS), the UCLA Loneliness Scale and the Scale for Depression, Anxiety and Stress (DASS-21). The results indicated that the mentally ill in our sample have higher levels of shame compared to the general population. They are women who have higher levels of internal shame, while the divorced have higher rates of external shame and loneliness. Patients who have a work activity demonstrate lower levels of loneliness and depression. The higher the educational level of participants, the lower the level of anxiety. In the comparative study of institutionalized patients and non-institutionalized, it was found that the former have significantly higher levels of anxiety, not distinguishing relation to the perception of loneliness and shame (internal and external). The analysis of the relationship between the variables showed that the values of internal shame and loneliness were positively associated with depression and high and moderately to anxiety and stress. Despite the recognized limitations, this study contributes to a better understanding of negative emotional states in the mentally ill.

A Síndrome da Apneia e Hipopneia Obstrutiva do Sono (SAHOS) é uma doença crónica, de carácter progressivo, que atinge cerca de 4% da população adulta. A obstrução parcial ou total das vias aéreas superiores durante o sono pode provocar quadros de hipopneia (uma redução do fluxo aéreo) ou apneia (cessação completa do fluxo aéreo). Os pacientes queixam-se de sonolência diurna excessiva, ronco durante a noite e além destes problemas sociais a preocupação pela redução de funções cognitivas que se podem desencadear, como memória, atenção, hipertensão pulmonar e insuficiência cardíaca. O Médico Dentista está habilitado para avaliar o espaço aéreo oro e nasofaringeo e diagnosticar, além da necessidade de correções dentárias, a presença de obstruções das Vias Aereas Superiores (VAS) orientando assim o seu tratamento. Além do exame clínico, o diagnóstico de distúrbios respiratórios do sono é baseado na história clínica, exame físico e confirmado através da polissonografia e da análise cefalométrica. Esta tem sido considerada como um método importante no diagnóstico, fornecendo características craniofaciais que permitem verificar a existência de pré-disposição de SAHOS. As avaliações com cefalometrias obtidas em telerradiografias em norma lateral é um recurso essencial para realizar o diagnóstico de distúrbios respiratórios do sono, desde que o profissional tenha domínio da técnica e da sua interpretação. Estes distúrbios são caracterizados por diferentes graus de diminuição do espaço das vias aéreas superiores, causado por factores anatómicos e funcionais, que podem ser analisados pelo profissional. A intervenção precoce torna-se crucial, pela diminuição da morbilidade, melhores resultados no tratamento, diminuição de gastos nos serviços de saúde e melhor qualidade de vida do paciente. O presente trabalho teve por objectivo realizar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a importância da avaliação das vias aéreas superiores através da análise de grandezas cefalométricas obtidas de telerradiografias em norma lateral como padrão de diagnóstico para a identificação de distúrbios respiratórios do sono.

El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el efecto de un programa de ejercicio aeróbico y un programa de circuito con pesas sobre la calidad de vida, disnea y resistencia cardiorrespiratoria en sujetos con Enfermedad Pulmonar Crónica (EPC). Metodología: el programa de rehabilitación se hizo durante ocho semanas, se realizó un pretest y un postest, se cumplió con una sesión semanal presencial, y las otras dos domiciliarias, se tuvo comunicación directa vía telefónica los días que realizaban el ejercicio en la casa. Instrumentos: el cuestionario St. George Respiratory Questonnaire para medir calidad de vida, la escala de Borg para medir la disnea y el test de caminata de los 6 min. para medir la resistencia cardiorrespiratoria. Sujetos: participaron 38 personas con diagnóstico previo de EPC, 18 hombres y 20 mujeres; 27 sujetos con patología obstructiva y 11 sujetos con restrictiva., con una edad promedio de 69.8 ± 9.34 años, divididos aleatoriamente en dos grupos, uno que realizó ejercicio aeróbico (22 sujetos) y otro que ejecutó ejercicio aeróbico y de contrarresistencia con pesas (16 sujetos). Análisis estadístico: ANOVA mixta de cuatro vías (2x2x2x2) para las variables mediciones, sexo, tratamiento y patología. Resultados: se encontraron diferencias significativas entre mediciones para la variable disnea (pre: 7.18 ± 0.69 puntos y post: 4.89 ± 0.68 puntos) (F = 228.770; p < 0,05), calidad de vida (pre: 59.68 ± 7.50 puntos y post 81.75 ± 7.33 puntos) (F = 228.770; p < 0,05), resistencia cardiorrespiratoria (pre 384,95 ± 51,02 mts. y post 432 ± 37,41 mts.) (F: 59.9; p<0.01), pero no se encontraron diferencias por sexo, actividad ni enfermedad (p>0,05), ni interacción entre las variable (p>0,05). Conclusión: la realización de ejercicio físico aeróbico y anaeróbico mejoran el grado de disnea, la calidad de vida y resistencia cardiorrespiratoria en pacientes con EPC.
