Transtorno afetivo bipolar: perfil farmacoterapêutico e adesão ao medicamento

This cross-sectional and descriptive study aimed to verify the adherence of patients with Bipolar Affective Disorder (BAD) to medication and to identify possible causes of adherence and non-adherence to medication according to the pharmacotherapeutic profile. The study was carried out in a mental health service in a city in the interior of the state of Sao Paulo. Participants included 101 patients with BAD. Structured interviews and the Morisky-Green test were used for data collection, and the Statistical Package for Social Science was employed for data analysis. Most subjects (63%) did not adhere to medication. Although there were no significant differences between the adherent and non-adherent groups for the researched variables, the use of polypharmacotherapy and complex treatment regimens was observed in treatment for BAD. In practice, implementing strategies to improve the adherence of patients to medication treatment remains a challenge.

Implicações de um grupo de Psicoeducação no cotidiano de portadores de Transtorno Afetivo Bipolar

Há evidências crescentes de que o curso Transtorno Afetivo Bipolar (TAB) pode ser modificado por abordagens psicoterápicas, tais como a Psicoeducação. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar as implicações do grupo de Psicoeducação no cotidiano dos portadores. Para tanto, optou-se pelo estudo qualitativo, do tipo Estudo de Caso. Foram incluídos doze portadores de TAB que tiveram pelo menos seis participações no Grupo de Psicoeducação desenvolvido na Faculdade de Medicina de São José do Rio Preto (FAMERP). Foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas, gravadas, transcritas e trabalhadas por meio da Análise Temática. Este estudo demonstrou que tal experiência grupal favoreceu a aquisição de conhecimento; a conscientização da doença e adesão ao tratamento; a realização de mudanças positivas na vida; a possibilidade de ajudar outros portadores a se beneficiarem do aprendizado construído no grupo; a descoberta de outras realidades e estratégias de enfrentamento, obtidas por meio da troca de experiências entre os participantes.

Um novo escore para dependência a nicotina e uma nova escala de conforto do paciente durante o tratamento do tabagismo

O tabagismo é considerado a maior causa evitável de morbidade e mortalidade. O manuseio farmacológico da síndrome de abstinência de nicotina possibilita melhores taxas de cessação. Desenvolvemos um sistema de coleta de dados em nosso programa de assistência ao fumante, que inclui dois instrumentos novos: um escore para dependência de nicotina em fumantes de < 10 cigarros/dia e uma escala de conforto do paciente durante o tratamento do tabagismo. Descrevemos aqui os dois instrumentos, que estão em processo de validação.

A criança com transtorno do espectro autista (TEA) e o professor: uma proposta de intervenção baseada na experiência de aprendizagem mediada (EAM)

The presence of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in regular schools has increased and with it, the need to develop interventional strategies that enhance their learning. One of the tools that can facilitate this process is Mediated Learning, defined as an interaction style where the teacher selects, modifies, enhances, and interprets environmental stimuli in order to promote student learning. In recent years several studies have used the Mediated Learning Experience Scale (MLE; Lidz, 1991) as a tool to assess the mediator behavior. These studies have suggested that the EAM Scale can provide important guidelines for planning educational interventions, particularly those involving students with special needs. In order to extend these findings, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of an intervention based on the Mediated Learning Experience on social / academic skills of a child with ASD, enrolled in the 4th grade of a regular elementary school. This collaborative study was held in the city of Parnamirim, state of Rio Grande do Norte, in 2014. A 9-year old boy with ASD and his teacher participated in the study. The research used a quasi-experimental A-B design (baseline and treatment) to evaluate the teacher's behavior. Qualitative procedures were also used to analyze the dyad´s responses. Teacher and student behaviors were observed in three school routines during baseline. Based on the results of this phase, a training program was designed for the teacher. Dyad behavior was analyzed again after training in the same routines. The results of this phase showed qualitative and quantitative changes in levels of teacher mediation. Additionally, data indicated that the child enhanced his social and academic skills during the intervention.

Estudo comparativo entre antipsicóticos atípicos no tratamento da esquizofrenia e sua influência na qualidade de vida dos pacientes

Schizophrenia is a severe and persistent mental illness; diagnosis occurs mainly during adolescence. The pharmacological treatment is done with typical and atypical antipsychotics. Atypical have the advantage of reduced extrapyramidal effects, which make them promising for the treatment of schizophrenia, furthermore, they have shown significant metabolic and hormonal changes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of atypical antipsychotics, olanzapine and risperidone on the quality of life and on their adverse effects in schizophrenic patients. For this we analyzed the quality of life of patients with implementation of EuroQol-5D-3L instrument and performing biochemical and hormonal tests, blood pressure measurement, and measurement of anthropometric indices, besides the application of Ugvalg scales for Kliniske Undersgelser (UKU) and Simpson-Angus, who evaluated the side effects caused by drugs. Data were analyzed using the Student t test and chi-square test, with 5% significance level. The results showed that the EuroQol the antipsychotic olanzapine causes significant losses associated with personal care (p <0.001). Comparing the two groups of antipsychotics, the average years of quality-adjusted life, known per QALY was favorable for the risperidone group (p <0.032). The results of olanzapine and risperidone groups were compared. In terms of socioeconomic, it was observed that men used, the prevalent form, olanzapine (p <0.008); this same group showed the following results significantly unfavorable, related to anthropometric variables: waist circumference (p <0.01), hip circumference (p <0.02), weight (p <0.02) and blood pressure (p <0.04). The biochemical and hormonal analyzes showed that olanzapine resulted in losses related to the following variables: triglycerides (p <0.04), HDL cholesterol in men (p < 0.02) and cortisol (p < 0.01). In risperidone users, the only negative value was prolactin (p < 0.04). Regarding the analysis of the Simpson-Angus scale, the group treated with olanzapine was handicapped because the average total scores for olanzapine was 0.38, while for risperidone was 0.11 (p < 0.02). In the UKU scale, the following results were obtained also unfavorable for the olanzapine group: fatigue (P <0.02), dystonia (p <0.01) and tremor (p <0.03). According to the UKU scale, the side effects present in the risperidone group included: gynecomastia (p <0.01), ejaculatory dysfunction (p <0.02) and erectile dysfunction (p <0.02). It was concluded that olanzapine users had the worst score of quality of life, higher metabolic risks associated with overweight and inadequate lipid profile and greater tendency to extrapyramidal manifestations. However, risperidone users were more likely to adverse reactions due to hormonal changes.

Diagnóstico e tratamento do TDA/H: investigação dos critérios utilizados por diferentes categorias profissionais da cidade de Natal-RN

TDA/H is usually considered among the most frequent psychological malfunctions in both childhood and adolescence. It covers a complex combination of neurocognitive deficits leading to developmental troubles linked to attention failure, hyperactivity and impulsivity. On the other hand, diagnosis of TDA/H is frequently a hard task, since sociocultural aspects concerning the evaluation of symptoms lead to some etiologic vagueness. Additionally, the large extent of evaluation tools, together with the diversity of therapeutic approaches referred by specialized literature justify the interest of investigating the diverse ways of diagnosing and treating TDA/H by medical doctors, psychologists and psycho-pedagogues developing professional activities in Natal-RN (Brazil) in the assistance of children and teenagers with TDA/H diagnosis hypothesis. A sample of thirty-four professionals participated in this study in a convenience-basis, and submitted to a semi-directed interview. Information from this procedure was analyzed, categorized and submitted to a multidimensional descriptive analysis (cluster analysis procedure), allowing to verify the partition of the sample in two groups: Group 1, basically composed by medical professionals, and Group 2, composed by psychologists and psycho-pedagogues. The categorized variable “Number of sessions” – average time used for arriving to a diagnosis – was the partition-variable showing the larger amount of statistical contribution for the partition, followed by the variables “Professional formation” and “Use of diagnostic tools”. Variables such “Comorbidity”, “TDA/H Definition” and Modalities of Intervention” also showed contribution to the partition obtained, even though their lesser amount of statistical contribution. Despite some similarity between these two groups, data allowed to demonstrate specific association between academic source-formation of the professional concerned and diagnosis and intervention modalities shown by these professionals when dealing with TDA/H. These data confirm relevant heterogeneity in dealing with TDA/H due to professional formation of professionals involved in diagnosis and treatment tasks.

Ação inseticida de extrato alcoólico de alho e pimenta-do-reino contra Tenebrio molitor em laboratório.

Esta pesquisa estudou a ação inseticida de extrato alcoólico de alho (Allium sativum L.) e pimenta-do-reino (Piper nigrum L.), já utilizados no controle de pragas em sistemas agroflorestais no nordeste paraense, contra larvas de 4º instar de Tenebrio molitor (Col., Tenebrionidae) em laboratório. Os experimentos foram desenvolvidos no Laboratório de Entomologia da Embrapa Amazônia Oriental, em Belém, Pará. Os extratos alcoólicos de A. sativum e P. nigrum foram obtidos de 50g dos produtos vegetais, colocados em repouso em 200 mL de álcool etílico hidratado (92,8º INPM) por 5 dias. As formulações à base de 50 mL de extrato alcoólico para cada extrato isoladamente e 25 mL de ambos na mistura, com 25mL de sabão líquido cada, foram aplicadas nas concentrações de 1% e 10%, além de um tratamento testemunha com água destilada, em um delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, com 20 repetições. Os insetos foram expostos ao tratamento por aplicação tópica com auxílio de micropipetas com pressão e precisão de 0,2 mL e mantidos em placas de Petri com discos de papel de filtro (9,0 cm Ø), providas de pedaços de chuchu para alimentação e armazenadas em câmaras climatizadas, tipo B.O.D, à temperatura de 27 ± 2oC, umidade relativa de 70 ± 5% e fotofase de 12 horas. A mortalidade foi avaliada por 5 dias após a exposição dos mesmos aos tratamentos. Extratos alcoólicos de A. sativum e P. nigrum apresentaram ação inseticida contra larvas de T. molitor, com taxa de mortalidade variando de 60% (1º dia) a 80% (5º dia) na maior dosagem de resposta biológica (10%) do experimento

Ação inseticida de óleo essencial e extrato alcoólico de Carapa guianensis Aubl. contra Tenebrio molitor em laboratório.

do tegumento de andiroba (Carapa guianensis Aubl.) contra larvas de 4º instar de Tenebrio molitor (Col., Tenebrionidae) em laboratório. O experimento foi desenvolvido no Laboratório de Entomologia da Embrapa Amazônia Oriental, em Belém, Pará. Foram testadas formulações à base de óleo essencial e de extrato alcoólico do tegumento de C. guianensis (50 mL do produto e 20 mL sabão líquido), nas concentrações de 1% e 10%, e água destilada como testemunha, com 20 repetições por tratamento, em placas de Petri mantidas em câmaras climatizadas, tipo B.O.D, à temperatura de 27 ± 2oC, umidade relativa de 70 ± 5% e fotofase de 12 horas. A mortalidade dos insetos foi avaliada ao longo de cinco dias. O tratamento com óleo essencial de C. guianensis apresentou taxas de mortalidade superiores nas concentrações de 1% e 10%, em comparação com o tratamento à base de extrato alcoólico do tegumento. Além disso, o tempo de ação do óleo essencial foi menor para as concentrações de 1% e 10%, com taxas de mortalidade de 67,5% e 97,5% logo no 1º dia de avaliação (após 24h), se comparadas com as taxas de mortalidade de 0% e 22,5% da formulação de extrato alcoólico a 1% e 10% no mesmo período. O óleo essencial de andiroba mostrou-se mais eficiente que o extrato alcoólico do tegumento, apresentando alta taxa de mortalidade em curto intervalo tempo, o que sugere grande potencial de uso como controle alternativo de pragas futuramente em sistemas de cultivo no Estado do Pará.
