Based on this review, we could observe that the main inflammatory mediators and oxidative stress markers analyzed were TNF-α, IL-8, IL-6, IL-1β, nuclear factor kappa β, MDA, and MPO. However, it is necessary to increase the rigor of study design and data, in order to have studies that are more homogeneous and with appropriate methodological quality.
Introduction: The diagnosis of cancer causes several changes in the lives of human beings, generating impacts on the emotional, physical and psychological state. Fear, stress and sadness usually interfere in quality of life, so dance therapy is a therapeutic method that will serve as an instrument for health rehabilitation, using dance as a means to achieve functional balance and self-esteem of people diagnosed with cancer. Objective: To describe the effectiveness and benefits of dance therapy, in order to emphasize complementary therapies that are important methods during treatment. Material and Methods: Systematic review, in which articles were selected between 2018 and 2021. Published in both Portuguese and English languages in the electronic database as Latin American Caribbean Literature in Sciences of Health (Lilacs), Pubmed, Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo) and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro). Results: The search for data was summarized in a flowchart, in which 546 articles were found based on the combination of descriptors in health science, but after reading, 8 scientific articles were selected divided into three categorical themes; psychological and social. Conclusion: Dance therapy provides physical, psychosocial benefits directly in functional capacity and quality of life during choreography and musical rhythms, influencing functional capacity, self-image, acceptance and especially quality of life.
Estimates of pediatric cancer by 2022 are 8,500 / year of new cases, which then leads to being considered a public health problem. In addition, cancer treatment can lead to various problems, including fatigue, impacting the quality of life of these patients. Thus, this study aims to correlate fatigue and quality of life in pediatric cancer patients undergoing treatment. A cross-sectional study was carried out, in which 30 patients participated, divided into “outpatient group” and “inpacient group”, according to the place where the data collection was performed. Demographic and clinical data were obtained and two questionnaires were then applied: fatigue (PedsQL ™ Multidimensional Fatigue Scale) and cancer-related quality of life (PedsQL ™ Pediatric Quality of Life ™ Cancer Module). Most of the participants were male and with a mean age of 14 ± 2.89, among the types of cancer presented, leukemia was the most prevalent (43.33%). The inpacient group had more fatigue and less quality of life. life when compared to outpatient, Still, when correlating in general, fatigue has a negative impact on the quality of life of pediatric cancer patients. Therefore, the values presented in this study, point out that fatigue and quality of life are closely linked and that studies are needed in order to develop rehabilitation protocols and, mainly, to create better health conditions and encourage the oncological patient to become functional and independent. with better chances of survival.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
