Função Pulmonar de pacientes submetidos a Cirurgia Bariátrica

Introduction: Obesity is a risk factor for postoperative pulmonary complications. Overweight can alter respiratory mechanics and decrease lung volumes and capacities. Bariatric surgery (BS) has been used as treatment for morbid obesity, but this surgery can lead to respiratory complications. Objective: To evaluate pulmonary function in morbid obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Methods: The patients were submitted to pulmonary function testing, including slow and forced vital capacity (SVC and FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), Tiffenau index (FEV1/FVC), forced expiratory flow 25-75% (FEF25-75%) and maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure (MIP and MEP). Descriptive analysis was performed. Results: We evaluated 18 patients, mean age of 37.33 ± 11.23 years, height 1.65 ± 0.09 m, weight 125.92 ± 25.24 kg and BMI 46.34 ± 9 20 kg/m2 , SVC 100.64 ± 22.91%, FVC 102.04 ± 21.82%, FEV1 104.85 ± 22.16%, FEV1 /FVC 83.54 ± 6.63% and FEF25-75% 84.47 ± 25.74%, 99.75 ± 24.55 for MIP and MEP 102.12 ± 25.06 cmH2O. Conclusion: The bariatric surgery candidates had normal values for manovacuometry and spirometry.

Células granulares do giro denteado recém-geradas em ratos epilépticos jovens e idosos apresentam dendritos basais

As células granulares do giro denteado do hipocampo são continuamente geradas na zona subgranular em mamíferos. Condições como epilepsia e envelhecimento podem alterar a proliferação celular e também certas características morfológicas das células granulares, como a formação de dendritos basais. Através da imunohistoquímica para doublecortin, marcador neuronal de células granulares imaturas, o estudo visa avaliar a proliferação destas células e quantificar o número de dendritos basais em animais epilépticos crônicos usando o modelo de Epilepsia de Lobo Temporal induzido por pilocarpina. Contatamos que a relação de células granulares com dendritos basais permanece constante no decorrer da vida do animal epiléptico de forma que esta alteração plástica das células granulares não seja fator determinante na patologia

Perfil materno e dos recém-nascidos nascidos vivos na primeira década do século XXI em município do interior paulista com ênfase na prematuridade

The concern with infant mortality has been a priority in public policies, especially for Brazil to achieve the Millennium Development Goal number four: reducing child mortality by 75% by the year 2015. It is known that prematurity has an intimate relationship with mortality of children under one year and therefore it is necessary an effective intervention in risk factors linked to premature births. To evaluate the profile of mothers and newborn babies living in Botucatu-SP, in the period 2001 to 2009, focusing on prematurity. A quantitative study, retrospective, descriptive, epidemiological, from the Information System Newborn Alive. The prevalence of preterm births was 15.1%, and low birth weight 14.7%. Among infants, the Apgar score below 7 at 1 and at 5 minutes was 13.1% and 2.4% respectively. Considering the total of pregnant women studied, 20.3% were adolescents and 10.3% were aged 35 years or more and most (63.2%) had eight or more years of school approval. The profile of mothers of premature infants shows that 23.6% were teenagers, 14.1% had at least 35 years and 60.4% had at least primary education. With regard to premature deliveries, caesarean sections and 58.4% were between the total newborns, this type of delivery was achieved in 46.6% of cases. Prematurity was associated with an Apgar score below seven in the first and fifth minutes of life, presence of malformation and multiple pregnancy. Among maternal variables, prematurity was associated with extremes of maternal age, maternal education, history of stillbirth, primiparas, white and presence of the mother's partner. With regard to delivery was associated with cesarean section and outside the hospital. This study assessed maternal characteristics associated with prematurity and point out how relevant the pregnancies at the extremes of age and those that occur in women with low education level, indicating the interference...

Conduta do paciente hipertenso frente ao tratamento clínico

The urbanization process established in Brazilian society since the middle of last century brought changes in the population habits and customs, which was responsible for the increased of chronic diseases incidence, such as arterial hypertension, for example. Although this is a common disease nowadays, it is still difficult to establish a significant control in subjects with this disease and its consequences. This is apparently due to lack of interest to the correct plan of care developed for the treatment of this disease. The nursing consultation identifies potential problematic situations and the patient needs, setting actions that are complementary to their benefit in order to promote health. The present work aims to observe how the nursing consultation is being used as strategy for patients with arterial hypertension, and to understand the difficulties faced during treatment of these patients. For this purpose, it was performed qualitative and quantitative studies with patients from Centro Saúde Escola (CSE), Unidade Auxiliar, Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu, UNESP, located in Botucatu, employing as methodology the Discourse of the Collective Subject and descriptive statistical analysis of quantitative results. The vast majority of consultations were held by medical professionals and it was observed that the multidisciplinary work still needs to be recognized and valued by users. The lack of knowledge of some individuals in relation to the potential and importance of the nursing consultation occurs not only for the treatment of arterial hypertension, but for the treatment and monitoring of the individual as a whole. Therefore, it is still necessary to clarify the true essence and necessity of the nursing consultation, since so important tool should be used in its entirely. Moreover, the role of the multidisciplinary team should be more discussed

Entendendo a pressão arterial

Este trabalho teve o objetivo elaborar e produzir uma cartilha informativa com noções fisiológicas básicas envolvidas no controle da pressão arterial, bem como a descrição da hipertensão e prevenção destinadas a alunos a partir do Ensino Médio, pois além da hipertensão arterial ser uma doença crônica que se caracteriza pela elevação da pressão arterial sistêmica persistente e compor um dos fatores de risco cardiovasculares mais importantes e comuns, apresentando altos índices de morbidade e mortalidade em todos os grupos populacionais, o conceito de pressão arterial e a importância da manutenção dos níveis pressóricos normais devem ser difundidos, a fim de auxiliar no autocuidado com a saúde. Para a formulação adequada da cartilha realizou - se um estudo prévio com 60 alunos de Ensino Médio de uma escola municipal de Botucatu, e através de um questionário avaliamos quantitativamente e qualitativamente por análise de conteúdo: vocabulário, conceitos, interesse sobre pressão arterial e temas interligados. Os dados gerados na análise de conteúdo propiciaram a formulação da cartilha

Fitovigilância de Plantas Medicinais e Fitoterápicos usados por pacientes atendidos em Clínica de Hipertensão de Araraquara

A falta de pesquisas em Fitovigilância contribui para o baixo índice de relatos de efeitos adversos de plantas medicinais e medicamentos fitoterápicos. Eventos adversos a medicamentos constituem um problema de saúde pública, e aqueles decorrentes do uso concomitante de plantas medicinais e medicamentos sintéticos vêm se tornando cada vez mais frequentes. Indicar possíveis interações medicamentosas e reações adversas decorrentes do uso concomitante de plantas medicinais, medicamentos fitoterápicos e sintéticos prescritos pelo médico. O estudo foi realizado no período de março de 2011 à fevereiro de 2012, na Clínica de Hipertensão do Serviço Especial de Saúde de Araraquara (SESA), da Escola de Saúde Pública - USP. Para a coleta de dados foi utilizada a entrevista semiestruturada. O trabalho foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da UNESP sob parecer nº 28/2011. Foram entrevistados 48 pacientes, sendo 35 mulheres (72,9%) e 13 homens (27,1%), a faixa etária média dos entrevistados é de 60-69 anos, sendo a idade mínima de 33 anos e a máxima, de 92 anos, além da maioria possuir escolaridade até o Ensino Médio. 93,7% dos pacientes relataram utilizar algum medicamento frequentemente e 85,4% relataram usar e/ou que já usaram alguma planta medicinal. A maioria adquiriu conhecimento sobre o uso da planta através da família, de vizinhos ou por conta própria. Vale ressaltar que 87,8% dos pacientes não avisam ou nunca avisaram ao seu médico se estão ou estavam utilizando planta medicinal antes ou durante o tratamento, e relataram desconhecer os riscos do uso concomitante destes produtos. Os resultados demonstraram a importância da implantação da Fitovigilância no SESA, garantindo uma melhor interação entre médico e paciente no momento...

Polimorfismos do gene da eNOS: relação com hipertensão arterial em diferentes níveis de atividade física em adultos

A gênese da hipertensão arterial têm sido associada à presença de polimorfismos em alguns genes, em específico no gene da eNOS. O polimorfismo no Íntron 4 é caracterizado por um Número Variável de Repetições em Tandem, no qual o alelo 4a foi relacionado a baixos níveis de nitrito/nitrato. Os indivíduos 4a/a exibiram 20% menos óxido nítrico (NO) que os indivíduos com genótipos 4b/b, assim como diminuições na expressão protéica da eNOS. Acredita-se que a alteração polimórfica de único nucleotídeo (SNP), na posição - 786 do gene da eNOS esteja relacionada à modulação do gene através da ação de uma proteína repressora chamada de RPA1, capaz de diminuir a quantidade de mRNA, e nitrito/nitrato plasmático; demonstrando sua provável contribuição para o aumento dos valores de pressão arterial. Apenas dois trabalhos mostram uma associação entre os polimorfismos do Intron 4 e -786, demonstrando que o 4a/4a apresenta uma possível ligação de desequilíbrio com a posição -786, sugerindo uma associação positiva entre polimorfismos e prevalência de espasmos coronários e redução na produção endotelial de NO. No entanto, nenhum trabalho avaliou a associação entre o nível de atividade física e a presença de polimorfismo no Íntron 4 e -786 juntos. Assim, os objetivos deste trabalho foram: verificar se existe relação entre a prevalência de hipertensão arterial e a presença do polimorfismo para o gene da eNOS nas duas posições - 786 e Íntron 4, separadamente e juntamente, em voluntários acima de 40 anos e também avaliar se existe relação entre o nível de atividade física e os valores de pressão arterial em indivíduos com e sem estes polimorfismos. Para a análise genética foram feitas análises de reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR) e para a classificação dos níveis de atividade...(Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Análise da qualidade microbiológica em leite pasteurizado, tipo C, recém pasteurizado e na data de validade

The conservation of raw milk for long periods of time under refrigeration can result in the lost of its quality. This happens because bacterias, capable of developing in low temperatures, as psichrotrophics, in milk, associates with its enzymatic activities, are capable to degradate it. Although the pasteurization of milk sufficiently diminishes the transmission of the illnesses, that generally eliminates such microorganisms, is not a total efficient process because many enzymes produced for such bacterias are termostable, being able to resist the treatment and to remain active, leading to the loss of the quality of milk and its derivatives. The Normative Instruction 51 of 2002 established that milk must be cooled and stored in the production property, what resulted increasing the incidence of such bacteria in population destined milk. In some parts of the world contaminated milk is causing serious risks to the health of the population, assuming great importance in Public Health, mainly in relation to the hygienic-sanitary conditions of the product. ANVISA establishes, thus, maximum bacteriological concentration that must be evidenced before commercializing the product, guaranteeing the quality of milk as proper for consumption. Based on these aspects, the objective of this work is the microbiological analysis of 30 milk samples type C, collected in bakeries of the city Botucatu, in the state of São Paulo. Analysis were made to determinate the most likely number of termotolerants coliforms, as well the number of colony units of psichrotrophics bacterias, the presence of Salmonella and the enumeration of positive Staphylococcus aureus, at the moment of purchase and validity of the products

Análises morfológica e histoquímicas do ventrículo e do cérebro de operárias recém emergidas de Apis Mellifera L. (Hymenoptera, Apidae) tratadas com Thiamethoxam

Apis mellifera honeybees are social insects of economic importance, by providing honeybee products, and by the pollination of natural areas of vegetation or agricultural areas. The constant use of pesticides, including the thiamethoxam, which is an insecticide belonging to the class of neonicotinoids with neurotoxic action, is subjecting pollinators to situations of severe stress, which has been evidenced by the decrease in the density of honeybees in many parts of the world. By these considerations, the present study aimed to assess the acute toxicity of thiamethoxam for newly emerged workers of A. mellifera, and to investigate the effect of sublethal doses of this insecticide on the survival time and its cytotoxicity to the brain and midgut to the honeybees. It was established the value of the lethal concentration 50 (LC50) equal to 4.28 ng thiamethoxam/μL of food and from it, the sublethal concentrations of 0.428 ng thiamethoxam/μL (CL50/10) and 0.0428 ng thiamethoxam/μL (CL50/100), which were used in bioassays of intoxication of the honeybees. After the bioassays the bees were dissected and the brain and midguts were collected to analyze possible morphological (staining with Hematoxylin-Eosin) and histochemical alterations (Xylidine Ponceau technique, and Feulgen and PAS reactions) caused by exposure to thiamethoxam, and to calculate the lethal time (LT50) for the workers. The duration of the bioassays was 8 days after beginning of feeding. The results obtained showed that the thiamethoxam is toxic to newly-emerged workers of A. mellifera, causing changes in survival time of individuals. This study also shown that the thiamethoxam causes morphological and histochemical alterations on the midgut and brain of workers. These alterations may be reflected in physiological and behavioral changes that can modify the operation of the colony

Cinética de lactato sanguíneo durante exercício de natação em ratos desnutridos recém-desmamados

Sabe-se que a desnutrição protéica fetal/neonatal pode predispor à resistência à insulina e à síndrome metabólica após recuperação nutricional. O treinamento físico, por sua vez, melhora a tolerância à glicose e a sensibilidade à insulina, além de exercer efeitos benéficos ao crescimento somático. Por outro lado, faltam informações quanto à habilidade de organismos desnutridos muito jovens para a realização do exercício. Modelos animais podem auxiliar a investigação desta questão, uma vez que o estudo em humanos apresenta limitações. Alimentação de ratos com dietas isocalóricas com baixo teor protéico é um modelo de desnutrição bastante utilizado para simular a desnutrição humana. Assim sendo, o presente estudo foi delineado para avaliar a cinética de lactato sanguíneo durante uma sessão de natação de ratos recém desmamados submetidos à restrição protéica fetal/neonatal. Foram avaliados dois grupos de animais recém-desmamados (21 dias, machos), contendo 8 animais em cada um: Normoprotéico (NP), crias de ratas alimentados com dieta normoprotéica (AIN 93G, 17% caseína) durante a gestação e a lactação e Hipoprotéico (HP):crias de ratas alimentados com dieta normoprotéica (6% caseína) durante a gestação e a lactação. Foram analisados peso ao nascer, concentrações séricas de proteínas totais e albumina dos recém-nascidos assim como ao desmame. Os dados foram analisados pelo teste t de student não pareado, sendo o nível de significância pré-estabelecido em 5%. Quando se avaliou os animais recémnascidos observou-se que a restrição protéica neonatal foi eficaz na instalação do quadro de desnutrição visto menores valores referente ao peso corporal, proteínas...

Hemorragia pulmonar induzida por exercício: fatores predisponentes, prevenção e tratamento

The Exercise Induced Pulmonar Haemorrhage (EIPH) affect a large amount of atlethe horses. It affects the horse's performance in any kind of competition and it can represent incresead spending of money or even an economic loss. Thoroughbred horses are the most affectef breed by EIPH because of intensive activity. Meanwhile any other kind of horse breed that is involved in athletic competition can also be affected by EIPH as well. In this brief work we are presenting the most common causes and factors from the EIPH as well the prevention and some types of treatment available nowadays

Análise de dez anos de utilização de serviços de saúde por uma coorte de pacientes diagnosticados com hipertensão arterial, no CSE - Botucatu, em 1995

The arterial hypertension is a chronic disease, which can be controlled by changing the way of life, as well as by drug treatment, which demand specific Health Care sequence. The lack of adherence to sequence/treatment is one of the main obstacles the disease control. Characterize and analyze the profile of Health Care usage by a 192 patient cohort diagnosed with arterial hypertension in 1995, between the period of 2001 – 2005 and 2006 – 2010. It is a longitudinal study, retrospective and descriptive developed on School Health Center(SHC) which belongs to School of Medicine Botucatu –UNESP, in continuity of the previous research which has analyzed the sequence of the referred sample between the period of 1995 – 1999. The database was obtained from the patients records by using structured adapted forms appointed in the previous study phase. In the case there were transfers to other Health Care facilities, the database was obtained by the records either, while the patients attended the CSE. The database was analyzed by means of descriptive statistics. Predominated the patients in the age from 50 – 69 (47,9%), whites (93,2%), female (56,7%) with low level of education (72,7%). In the period of 2001 - 2005, 76 (39,5%) of the patients remained under sequence, and that 44 (22,9%) belonged to adherence group (GAD), 17 belonged to abandonment/adherent group (GAB/GAD) and 15 to the abandonment group (GAB), groups which were already identified by the study which has analyzed the period of 1995 – 1999. At the end of the third period of the sample sequence (2006 – 2010), 60 (31,2%) of the patients kept under medical sequence. The cohort’s mortality rate in the period reached 15,1% and 21,9% were transferred to other Municipal Health Care facilities. We conclude that the Health Care service usage by the 192 sample’s integrants kept the same model already identified in the previous analysis... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Estados emocionais em professores recém-formados: análise contextual

In general, the early career is a period marked by crises. Hubermam (1992) points out that this period is considered by the teacher as one of life's most difficult professional teaching. According to Machado (2004), the physical education worked only in competitive perspective in school, does not contribute to the school to perform its social role. This approach encourages the use of stigmas, labels and prejudices, so common in school, that marginalize even more students from lower classes, and can make the sport of high performance within the school walls create students with low self-esteem and low motivation within other possible disorders . Thus, this study presents the fundamental importance to aid and support to novice teachers, so that they can understand, and address key emotional aspects that interfere in their practice. Thus, our aim was to identify the most recurrent emotional processes in novice teachers identify and also how these emotional states can influence the professional and personal attitudes of these teachers. Through a bibliographic we seek statements, reports and case studies that provide enough material to our analysis and interpretation in order to collaborate with the study area and proceed to proposals that are not unreasonable or tied to the current system. Among the emotional states reported in the literature, we highlight the main, more present and influent in the beginner teacher as listed as follow: Anxiety, Stress, Fear, Shame, Low Self Confidence and Motivation. Considering these states, Damasio (1996) reports that the United Emotional directly influenced the style and efficiency of cognitive processes, in other words, interfere with the performance of teachers in the teaching front. Thus, Machado (2006) points out that the teacher should have a set of techniques and procedures that drive their practice in a manner appropriate to the leading group. Therefore, the knowledge of Psychology of Physical...
