Avaliação da suplementação de vitamina E sobre a concentração de alfa-tocoferol no leite materno em mulheres com partos prematuros

The term vitamin E refers to a group of eight molecular compounds which differ in structure and bioavailability, and the RRR-alpha-tocopherol more biologically active form. The composition of vitamin E in breast milk undergoes variations during lactation, colostrum and milk richer in this micronutrient compared to transitional and mature milk. Newborns, especially premature infants are more susceptible to vitamin E deficiency and to prevent the damage caused by this deficiency has been proposed supplementation of neonates with this micronutrient, however, there is no consensus to carry out this intervention. Thus, maternal supplementation with RRRalpha-tocopherol in the postpartum period can be a good alternative to try to raise the alpha-tocopherol levels in breast milk and therefore provide the premature newborn adequate amounts of vitamin E. This study to evaluate the effect of supplementation with 400 UI acetate RRR-alpha-tocopherol in women with premature births, on the concentration of alpha-tocopherol in breast milk colostrum, transitional and mature. The study included 89 healthy adult women were enrolled in the control group (n = 51) and supplemented group (n = 38). Blood samples were collected and milk colostrum soon after birth (0h milk) twenty-four hours, new rate of colostrum milk was collected (24h milk). The transitional and mature milk were collected in seven days (7d milk) and thirty days (30d milk) after delivery, respectively. Supplementation in the supplemented group was held after the collection of blood and 0h milk. The alpha-tocopherol analyzes were performed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Serum levels of alpha-tocopherol less than 516 μg/dL were considered indicative of nutritional deficiency. The average concentration of alphatocopherol in the serum of the control group mothers was 1159.8 ± 292.4 μg/dL and the supplemented group was 1128.3 ± 407.2 μg/dL (p = 0.281). All women had nutritional status in vitamin E suitable. In both groups, it was observed that the concentration of vitamin E in colostrum milk was higher compared to transitional and mature milk. In the supplemented group, the concentration of alpha-tocopherol in the milk increased 60 % after supplementation, from 1339.3 ± 414.2 μg/dL (0h milk) to 2234.7 ± 997.3 μg/dL (24h milk). While the control group values in colostrum 0h and colostrum 24h were similar (p = 0.681). In the control group the follow-on milk alphatocopherol value was 875.3 ± 292.4 μg/dL and in the group supplemented 1352.8 ± 542.3 μg/dL, an increase of 35% in the supplemented group compared to control (p <0.001). In mature milk alpha-tocopherol concentrations between the control group (426.6 ± 187.5 μg/dL) and supplemented (416.4 ± 214.2 μg/dL) were similar (p = 0.853). Only 24h milk supplemented group answered the nutritional requirement of alpha-tocopherol (4 mg/day) of the newborn. These results show that the transport of this micronutrient for milk occurs in a controlled and limited way. Thus, the native vitamin E supplementation increases the concentration of alpha-tocopherol in colostrum and milk and transition does not influence the concentration in mature milk. Only the increase in colostrum milk was sufficient to meet the nutritional requirement of premature newborns.

Análise do perfil de encaminhamento da atenção primária para pré-natal de alto risco: desafios para o ensino de competências em saúde materno-infantil

OBJECTIVE: to identify a profile of the main causes of inappropriate referrals from primary care to specialized services, as strategy for the curriculum development of core competencies related to maternal health. METHODS: a cross-sectional study was performed using document analysis of all referrals of pregnant women from primary care to the high-risk pregnancy service, state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. All pregnant women referred from June to December 2014 (n = 771) were included. According to their causes the referrals were categorized as adequate, inadequate or inconclusive. RESULTS: a total of 188 referrals were classified as inadequate (24.4%) and 93 inconclusive (12.1%) totalizing 36.5% of inappropriate referrals. The main causes identified in these inappropriate referrals were: low-risk pregnancy (12.8%), unconfirmed hypertension (12.1%), risk of abortion (8.9%), teenage pregnancy (7.1%) , toxoplasmosis (5.3%), Rh incompatibility (4.6%) and urinary tract infection (4.3%). These data contributed to the formulation of the following products: 1) a continuing education program for health professionals working in primary care, undergraduate students and residents; and 2) development of a virtual platform to support professionals who need to refer patients to high-risk pregnancy service. CONCLUSION: the results of this study are relevant in the current context of education of health professionals, with potential for positively impact not only in the development of skills related to maternal health in undergraduate and graduate education, as well as contributing for improvement of the health care of the population.

Análise da atuação do Ministério Público Estadual na assistência materno infantil do Rio Grande do Norte

Maternal and infant mortality have become a serious public health problem in Brazil, especially in northeasternand northern regions.In RioGrande do Norte, the high rates ofdeathsofmothersandbabies haveconcerned not onlythehealthauthorities andjusticeagenciessuch as the prosecution service. In 2011, State Public Ministry (MPE) has developed a proposition which was called “Nascer com Dignidade”, focused on the monitoring ofcare givenin prenatal, childbirth andpost childbirthin the cities. The aim of thisstudy was toinvestigate how the intervention of MPE works in maternal and child care. The method adopted to survey data was the case study by analyzing the skills of the reports which were carried out in four of the eight Public Health Regional Units (URSAP).A total of 26municipalities were chosenand the results showfragilityparticularly inprenatal care which can result in complicationsin childbirthand postpartumlike:incomplete health family teams(in05cities), lack of access orinaccessibility to laboratory tests(16 cities) and lack of the pregnant woman'sattachment to thebirthing place(in26 cities). Based on this reality, MPE has adopted relevant attitudes as filing public civil suits, compliance of Conduct Adjustment Declaration in the municipal management and performing interventions in heath care centers and maternity clinics of the state. Thereforeit is known thatPublic Ministryis of paramount importanceto indicatethe necessaryadjustmentsto addressinfant and maternalmortalityin the state (mean of 65/100,000 and16/100,000respectively) and give the city hall the responsibility for the health care quality provided to their citizens. These factors demand theprinciples ofuniversality and integrality to be performed in order to reduce social inequities.

Near miss materno e iniquidades em saúde: análise de determinantes contextuais no Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil

The scope of this study was to identify socioeconomic contextual and health care factors in primary care associated with maternal near misses and their marker conditions. This is an ecological study that used aggregated data of 63 clusters formed by the municipalities of State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, using the Skater method of area regionalization, as the unit of analysis. The ratio of maternal near misses and their marker conditions were obtained from the Hospital Information System of the Brazilian Unified Health System. In multiple linear regression analysis, there was a significant association between maternal near misses and variables of poverty and poor primary health care. Hypertensive disorders were also associated with poverty and poor primary care and the occurrence of hemorrhaging was associated with infant mortality. It was observed that the occurrence of maternal near misses is linked to unfavorable socioeconomic conditions and poor quality health care that are a reflection of public policies that accentuate health inequalities.

Prevalência e fatores associados ao Near Miss Materno: inquérito populacional em uma capital do Nordeste Brasileiro

The scope of this study was to determine the prevalence of near misses and complications during pregnancy and the puerperal period, identifying the main clinical and intervention markers and socioeconomic and demographic factors associated with near misses. It involved a cross-sectional, population-based and probabilistic study with multi-stage complex sampling design conducted in Natal, State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. A validated questionnaire was given to 848 women aged 15 to 49 identified in 8,227 households in 60 census sectors. In theanalysis of associations, the Chi-square test applied and calculated the prevalence ratio (PR) with Confidence Interval (CI) of 95% and 5% significance. The prevalence of maternal near misses was 41.1/1000LB, with hospitalization in an Intensive Care Unit (19.1/1000LB) and eclampsia (13.5/1000LB) being the most important markers. The prevalence of complications during pregnancy and the puerperal period was 21.2%. The highest prevalence of near misses was observed in older women, of black/brown race and low socioeconomic status. Conducting population surveys is feasible and may add important information to the study of near misses and the markers highlight the need for enhancing maternal care to reduce health inequality.

Relação do aleitamento e hábitos deletérios no desenvolvimento estomatognático

O crescimento e o desenvolvimento crâniofaciais, apesar de estarem condicionados por fatores genéticos, são fortemente influenciados pelo padrão funcional da musculatura oro-facial. Cada indivíduo apresenta o seu próprio padrão de crescimento que sofre ação de fatores ambientais que em alguns casos podem alterá-lo. A maxila tem o seu crescimento para trás e para cima proporcionando um deslocamento desta para a frente e para baixo. Enquanto que, o crescimento do processo condilar contribui para o crescimento do ramo mandibular para trás e para cima, determinando o seu deslocamento para a frente e para baixo Os problemas de oclusão dentária consistem em anomalias do crescimento e desenvolvimento, afetando principalmente, os dentes, músculos e os ossos maxilares no período da infância e da adolescência, os quais podem produzir alterações tanto do ponto de vista estético como funcional. A amamentação é um fator que tem vindo cada vez mais a ser relacionado com o desenvolvimento crâniofacial, especialmente o crescimento mandibular, pois o mecanismo da amamentação tem sido considerado uma mais-valia na correção do retrognatismo mandibular presente no bebé. O tempo de amamentação é uma condicionante muito importante, visto que, o menor tempo de amamentação leva ao uso precoce do biberão. Este tipo de aleitamento pode não satisfazer o bebé por completo, pois o mecanismo de aleitamento é diferente do de amamentação, e pode potenciar o desenvolvimento de hábitos de sucção não nutritivos, como o uso da chupeta ou sucção digital, que vai prejudicar o desenvolvimento estomatognático, dando origem a más oclusões. Os hábitos de sucção não nutritiva quando instalados e com uma frequência, duração e intensidade elevada podem levar a problemas oclusais que só serão corrigidos ortodonticamente.

Influência do estado nutricional materno em vitamina A sobre os níveis de imunoglobulina A no colostro humano

Mothers with good vitamin A nutritional status during gestation and lactation are better able to nourish and protect their infant with maternal milk. Our hypothesis is that women with more serum retinol have more retinol and secretory immunoglobulin A in colostrum. 190 healthy puerperal women from a Brazilian public maternity were recruited and divided according to the cutoff point for serum retinol (30 μg/dL). A number of the women was supplemented with 200000 UI (60 mg) of retinyl palmitate in the immediate postpartum. Serum and colostrum were collected on the 1st day postpartum and colostrum again on the following day. Retinol (serum and colostrum) was analyzed by HPLC and SIgA (colostrum) by turbidimetry. The mothers presented with adequate biochemical indicators of nutritional status, according to serum retinol (44.6 μg/dL). There were significant differences (p= 0.0017 and p= 0.043, respectively) in retinol and SIgA levels in the colostrum of mothers with serum retinol > 30 μg/dL and < 30 μg/dL. The concentration of SIgA in the colostrum of non-supplemented mothers on the 1st day postpartum was 822.6 mg/dL, decreasing after 24 hours to 343.7 mg/dL. Supplemented mothers showed levels of SIgA in colostrum of 498.9 mg/dL on the 2nd day postpartum (p= 0.00006). The colostrum of women with good vitamin A nutritional status had more retinol and SIgA. Additionally, maternal supplementation increases the levels of SIgA in colostrum. The higher levels of SIgA on the 1st day postpartum showed the importance of early breastfeeding, given that it provides considerable immunological benefits to newborn infants

Infezioni a trasmissione materno-fetale: impatto del colloquio specialistico esperto sulla paziente in gravidanza.

INTRODUZIONE: Un’inadeguata informazione in gravidanza può condurre ad una sovrastima della percezione del rischio materno-fetale da parte della paziente. OBIETTIVI: Dimostrare l’impatto di un colloquio medico con operatori esperti nel campo delle infezioni materno-fetali sull’ansia materna e sulla propensione della paziente a interrompere la gravidanza. DISEGNO DELLO STUDIO: Studio monocentrico osservazionale prospettico di coorte su una serie consecutiva di 185 pazienti con diagnosi confermata di malattia infettiva in gravidanza. Il livello di preoccupazione materna è stato investigato tramite tre questionari sottoposti alla paziente prima e dopo il colloquio medico con operatori esperti e in seguito alla diagnostica ecografica di approfondimento. RISULTATI: 171 pazienti (92.4%) hanno compilato la Scala Visuo-Analogica (VAS) sulla preoccupazione materna prima e in seguito al colloquio medico, e ciò ha mostrato decremento significativo nel livello di ansia (VAS, −25,8; CI 95%, da−29,9 a −21,7). Livelli più alti di preoccupazione hanno presentato meno margine di riduzione, e le infezioni ad alto rischio di danno fetale si sono mostrate correlate ad un minore decremento nello stato di ansia materna. Nel gruppo delle 82 pazienti (53,2%) che hanno eseguito una diagnostica ecografica di secondo livello, la preoccupazione materna è risultata significativamente minore rispetto a quella registrata dopo il consulto medico (VAS, −16,6; CI del 95%, da−22,9 a −10,3). Si è inoltre mostrata una diminuzione della propensione all’interruzione di gravidanza prima e dopo il colloquio medico (VAS, −19,4; intervallo di confidenza del 95%, da−23,6 a −15,2). Nelle 73 pazienti (45,1%) che hanno eseguito una ecografia morfologica di secondo livello, si è mostrata una riduzione nella tendenza all’interruzione di gravidanza (VAS, −13.4; CI 95%, da−19,1 a −7.7). CONCLUSIONI: Un colloquio medico esperto nel campo delle infezioni materno-fetali può diminuire l’ansia materna migliorando la qualità della vita durante la gestazione, e ridurre la propensione della paziente all’interruzione volontaria di gravidanza.
