Introdução: A obesidade infantil apresenta incidência crescente e as possíveis comorbidades, como alteração da função respiratória, estão cada vez mais presente nessa faixa etária. O tecido adiposo impõe carga ao sistema respiratório o que leva a um padrão restritivo. Essa condição sofre alterações com as mudanças posturais, onde a gravidade influencia o padrão respiratório de acordo com o posicionamento adotado. Objetivo: Avaliar a distribuição dos volumes total e regional e o movimento tóracoabdominal de crianças e adolescentes que estão acima do peso nas posturas supino e sentado. Métodos: Cinqüenta e duas crianças/adolescentes (8-12 anos) divididas em três grupos: Grupo Obeso (GO=22); Grupo Sobrepeso (GSP=9); Grupo Controle (GC=21) foram avaliadas quanto às medidas antropométricas, teste de função pulmonar, exame das pressões respiratórias máxima e a pletismografia optoeletrônica em duas posturas, supino e sentado, durante a respiração tranquila. Resultados: As crianças que estão obesas apresentaram maiores valores em relação ao GSP e GC das seguintes variáveis espirométricas: volume expiratório forçado no primeiro segundo (VEF1) (p<0.05) e capacidade vital forçada (CVF) (p<0.01). No exame de manovacuometria o GO apresentou um aumento na pressão inspiratória máxima (PImáx) (p<0.01) em comparação com os outros grupos. Quanto à distribuição do volume corrente, o GO possui uma maior contribuição do compartimento abdominal (AB) na postura supina (p<0.05) em relação ao GC e GSP, enquanto que na postura sentada os grupos não diferiram em relação à distribuição dos volumes. O GO apresentou maior assincronia na postura supina (p<0.05) e maior velocidade de encurtamento (p<0.05) em relação os outros grupos. Conclusão: A obesidade em crianças/adolescentes não provoca prejuízos na função pulmonar, incrementa a força muscular inspiratória, aumenta a participação do compartimento AB e a assincronia no MTA na postura em supino, conclui-se que a postura supina associada à obesidade provoca aumento da sobrecarga do diafragma, desfavorecendo o desempenho do sistema respiratório.

The post-menopause stage is characterized by hormonal and organic alterations of ovarian failure. One of the most important of these is muscles alterations of the pelvic floor (MPF). According to current literature, in young women gynecological and obstetric factors, as well as lifestyles and habits influence that loss of function. However, there is still uncertainty about the influence of those variables in the MPF functions in post-menopause women. Thus, this study aimed at seeing if there is an influence from number of births, the type of birth and the level of physical activity on the MPF of post-menopause women. Another objective of this study was to compare MPF force in women who had had vaginal births with those who had been subjected to cesarean sections, those with different levels of physical activity and those with artificial and natural menopause in the initial and latter stages. Furthermore, the test of muscular force was compared to perineometry. Using observational, analytical and transversal observations, 100 women in the post-menopausal stage of life, between the ages of 45 and 65, were examined. They were divided according to the menopausal stage into three groups: women who had undergone hysterectomies, those in the initial stages of postmenopause and those in the late stage of postmenpause. The patients were questioned about social, demographic, gynecological and obstetric factors. All the volunteers were submitted to a physical examination where their height and weight were measured to arrive at the corporal mass index and their waist measurements were taken. The evaluation of the pelvic floor was conducted with muscular force tests and perineometry. These results were analyzed with statistical description and ANOVA statistical tests, multiple regression and Kolmogorov-Smirnov evaluations. The results showed homogeneity with regard to social demographic and anthropometric characteristics among the women in the final test sample (n=85). It was also seen that most of the women in all three groups were married (p=0.51) and catholic (p=0.13). The average per capital income varied between $R585.47 (+/-466.67) and $R1,271.83 (+/-1,748.95), with no significant difference between the groups (p=0.05). The G>6 group presented an average age between 58.95 (+/-3.96) which was significantly greater that the G<6 group´s average age (53.21+/- 3.88) (p=0.000). There was no difference between the groups´ anthropometric characteristics of weight (p=0.32), height (p=0.72) and corporal mass index (p=0.34), nor in the waist measurements (p=0.33). Furthermore, no significant difference was noted in the MPF function of women who had had normal births, cesarean sections or a combination of the two (TFM p=0.897; perineum measurement p=0.502). Likewise, no differences were seen in the MPF function of women who had one, two to three or four or more births (TFM p=0.28, perineum measurement p=0.13). Finally, no difference was perceived among those with different levels of physical activity (TFM p=0.663; perineum measurement p=0.741). Therefore, we found that the type of delivery, number of births and physical activity had no influence on the muscular function of the pelvic floor among the women studied. It is believed that decline in muscular function in post-menopause women is fundamentally related to the process of aging.

Background: The inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been considered an option in reversing or preventing decrease in respiratory muscle strength, however, little is known about the adaptations of these muscles arising from the training with charge. Objectives: To investigate the effect of IMT on the diaphragmatic muscle strength and function neural and structural adjustment of diaphragm in sedentary young people, compare the effects of low intensity IMT with moderate intensity IMT on the thickness, mobility and electrical activity of diaphragm and in inspiratory muscles strength and establish a protocol for conducting a systematic review to evaluate the effects of respiratory muscle training in children and adults with neuromuscular diseases. Materials and Methods: A randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, controlled trial, sample of 28 healthy, both sexes, and sedentary young people, divided into two groups: 14 in the low load training group (G10%) and 14 in the moderate load training group (G55%). The volunteers performed for 9 weeks a home IMT protocol with POWERbreathe®. The G55% trained with 55% of maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and the G10% used a charge of 10% of MIP. The training was conducted in sessions of 30 repetitions, twice a day, six days per week. Every two weeks was evaluated MIP and adjusted the load. Volunteers were submitted by ultrasound, surface electromyography, spirometry and manometer before and after IMT. Data were analyzed by SPSS 20.0. Were performed Student's t-test for paired samples to compare diaphragmatic thickness, MIP and MEP before and after IMT protocol and Wilcoxon to compare the RMS (root mean square) and median frequency (MedF) values also before and after training protocol. They were then performed the Student t test for independent samples to compare mobility and diaphragm thickness, MIP and MEP between two groups and the Mann-Whitney test to compare the RMS and MedF values also between the two groups. Parallel to experimental study, we developed a protocol with support from the Cochrane Collaboration on IMT in people with neuromuscular diseases. Results: There was, in both groups, increased inspiratory muscle strength (P <0.05) and expiratory in G10% (P = 0.009) increase in RMS and thickness of relaxed muscle in G55% (P = 0.005; P = 0.026) and there was no change in the MedF (P> 0.05). The comparison between two groups showed a difference in RMS (P = 0.04) and no difference in diaphragm thickness and diaphragm mobility and respiratory muscle strength. Conclusions: It was identified increased neural activity and diagrammatic structure with consequent increase in respiratory muscle strength after the IMT with moderate load. IMT with load of 10% of MIP cannot be considered as a placebo dose, it increases the inspiratory muscle strength and IMT with moderate intensity is able to enhance the recruitment of muscle fibers of diaphragm and promote their hypertrophy. The protocol for carrying out the systematic review published in The Cochrane Library.

La disminución del líquido amniótico se asocia con un incremento de la morbimortalidad del recién nacido. La principal consecuencia descrita por la literatura es una mayor compresión sobre el abdomen fetal, lo que conlleva a una disminución en el movimiento del diafragma fetal, que puede desencadenar una limitación en el desarrollo del tejido funcional pulmonar conllevando problemas en la transición respiratoria en la vida extrauterina del infante. El oligohidramnios como condición que complica el embarazo se observa en el 3 al 5 % del total de los embarazos. El líquido amniótico es esencial para el crecimiento y desarrollo del feto. El líquido protege al feto de infecciones, traumatismos, compresión del cordón umbilical y facilita los movimientos fetales. El volúmen de líquido amniótico es un indicador importante utilizado frecuentemente en el control prenatal debido a que ciertas alteraciones de líquido amniótico se asocian con un pobre pronóstico del embarazo, ya que pueden mostrarnos defectos anatómicos en el riñón fetal que pueden conllevar múltiples malformaciones. En la actualidad, en la mayoría de centros perinatales de América se utiliza el índice de líquido amniótico como parte de una de las pruebas de bienestar fetal. En el Hospital de Maternidad el oligohidramnios es una patología muy frecuente de causa de consulta en unidad de emergencia y consulta externa, así como de ingreso hospitalario. Con el presente trabajo se dio a conocer el resultado perinatal de las pacientes que presentaron oligohidramnios durante el embarazo que consultaron el Hospital Nacional de Maternidad, así como también se describe la presencia de factores de riesgo socioeconómicos como la edad, escolaridad y estado civil que puedan presentarse en ésta patología. También se describe cual ha sido la vía de evacuación más frecuente en éstos casos, así como también el resultado perinatal de los recién nacidos con ésta patología la cual se presentó durante el embarazo.

Este objeto começa destacando que há inúmeros fatores determinantes para a adesão a cada um dos métodos anticoncepcionais, ressaltando o papel do Enfermeiro no momento de discussão, lembrando inclusive o aspecto que se refere às questões socioeconômicas, culturais, religiosas e psicológicas, implicadas nas percepções de indivíduos, famílias e grupos e que determinam práticas de saúde sobre a concepção, devendo ser compreendidos e respeitados pelas equipes de saúde na sua atuação junto às comunidades. Enfatiza que é possível considerar que o método contraceptivo ideal é aquele que apresenta segurança, é efetivo, acessível, não relacionado ao ato sexual e não necessita de motivação especial para seu uso. Detalha que para populações de risco deve oferecer proteção contra doenças sexualmente transmissíveis. Lembra que os principais métodos anticoncepcionais utilizados na atualidade são o condom masculino e os contraceptivos orais. Termina abordando características, vantagens e efeitos colaterais do Diafragma Intrauterino (DIU), parte do arsenal de métodos contraceptivos oferecidos pelos programas de Planejamento Familiar no Brasil. Unidade 4 do módulo 6 que compõe o Curso de Especialização em Saúde da Família.
