Transtornos mentais comuns entre os estudantes do curso de medicina: prevalência e fatores associados

Objetivo: O objetivo do estudo foi estimar a prevalência de transtornos mentais comuns (TMC) entre os estudantes do curso de medicina da UFES e avaliar possíveis correlações entre TMC e fatores de risco. Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado de setembro a novembro de 2007 envolvendo 229 alunos do curso de medicina. O questionário utilizado foi autoaplicável e anônimo. Foram coletados dados socioeconômicos, informações sobre o curso, o processo de ensino-aprendizagem e a rede de apoio social. Para o rastreamento de TMC, utilizou-se o Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20). Resultados: A prevalência total de TMC encontrada foi de 37,1% (IC 95%, 30,8%-43,4%), que esteve independentemente associada a não receber o apoio emocional necessário (OR = 7,4, IC 95%, 3,1-17,9) e relatar "dificuldade para tirar dúvidas em sala de aula por timidez" durante a infância ou adolescência (OR = 2,5, IC 95%, 1,0-6,1). Conclusão: Os dados demonstram elevada prevalência de TMC nessa população e a importância em subsidiar ações para prevenção e cuidado com a saúde mental dos estudantes, melhorando a qualidade de vida deles.

Clinical and pathological assessment of 82 patients with cardiovascular diseases undergoing autopsy at the Hospital das Clínicas of the Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu from 1988 to 1993

OBJECTIVE: To evaluated the clinical diagnostic, efficiency for basic death causes in patients dying of circulatory disease and de relative frequency of those diseases. METHODS: Analysis of medical record data of 82 patients, ages from 16 to 84 years old (68 over 40 years old), whose died of circulatory disease and had undergone necropsy in the period from 1988 to 1993 years in the University Hospital of Medicine Faculty of Botucatu-UNESP, Br. RESULTS: The functional class of patients were III or IV, in 78%, and 81.7% needed urgent hospitalization. By the clinical judgment the death were by ischemic heart disease in 32 (21 acute myocardial infarction), Chagas'disease in 12, valvopathy in 11, cardiomyopathy in 7, heart failure with no specification of cardiopathy in 11 and other causes in 9. At the necropsy the death cause was ischemic heart disease in 34 patients, valvopathy in 10, Chagas'disease in 10, cardiomyopathy in 5, and heart failure with no specification of cardiopathy in 2.The concordance taxes were in thhe same order: 94,6%, 90,0%, 83.3%, 71.4% and 28.5%. CONCLUSION: There was a great efficiency of clinical diagnosis for death cause in a general university hospital. The ischemic heart disease were the main causes of death.

Cross-sectional Study on Blood Pressure Control in the Department of Nephrology of the Escola Paulista de Medicina - UNIFESP

OBJECTIVE - To assess hypertension control rates in a specialized university-affiliated medical department, the influence of sex, diabetes, and obesity on that control, and the strategies for the treatment of hypertension. METHODS - We carried out a cross-sectional study with 1,210 patients followed up for at least 6 months. Information was gathered from medical and nursing records and comprised the following data: sex, age, weight, height, abdominal and hip circumferences, blood pressure, and class and number of the antihypertensive drugs prescribed. To assess obesity, we used body mass index and waist/hip ratio. Blood pressure was considered under control when its levels were below 140/90 mmHg. RESULTS - The study consisted of 73% females and 27% males. Most females (31.7%) were 50 to 59 years of age, and most males (28.3%) were 60 to 69 years. The blood pressure control rate found was 20.9% for the 1,210 patients and 23.4% for the hypertensive diabetic patients (n=290). Despite the low control rates found, 70% of the patients used 1 or 2 antihypertensive medications. A high prevalence of obesity (38%) was observed, and females had a greater abdominal obesity index than males did (90% vs 82%, p<0.05). Patients with a greater body mass index had less control of blood pressure. CONCLUSION - The percentage of hypertensive patients with controlled blood pressure levels was low and was associated with a high prevalence of obesity. These data indicate the need for reviewing the strategies of global treatment for hypertension.
