Tadalafil augmented the hypotensive effects of doxazosin but had little hemodynamic interaction with tamsulosin. In patients taking tadalafil for ED, tamsulosin 0.4 mg may be given for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

AKIN criteria are a useful tool to characterize and stratify septic patients according to the risk of death.

RESUMO:Objetivo: conhecer a percepção de enfermeiras obstétricas acerca da violência obstétrica. Método: estudo exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa, realizada com 19 enfermeiras que atuavam no Centro Obstétrico, Pré-parto, Parto e Pós-partode um hospital de referência materno-infantil da cidade de Belém, Pará, Brasil. Os dados foram coletados por entrevista semiestruturada, nos meses de abril e maio 2016, e submetidos à técnica de análise de conteúdo temática. Resultados: as enfermeiras obstétricas percebem que a violência obstétrica se apresenta de diversas formas; entretanto, não reconhecem determinadas práticas como uma violação. Além disso, reconhecem que a falta de conhecimento da parturiente é um elemento devulnerabilização em relação à violência obstétrica,despontando para as repercussões do fenômeno à vida da mulher. Considerações Finais: O estudo revelou as percepções das enfermeiras vislumbrando a necessidade de estratégias preventivas à ocorrência do fenômeno da violência obstétrica.

PERCEPTION OF NURSE MIDWIVES ON OBSTETRIC VIOLENCEABSTRACT: Objective: to get to know the perception of nurse midwives on obstetric violence. Method: this is an exploratory study with a qualitative approach performed with 19 nurses working at the obstetric, labor, delivery and postpartum center of a maternalnewborn reference hospital in the city of Belém, state of Pará, Brazil. Data were collected through a semistructured interview in the months of April and May 2016, and submitted to the thematic content analysis technique. Results: nurse midwives notice that obstetric violence occurs in different ways; however, they do not recognize certain practices as a violation.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with increased short-term mortality of septic patients; however, the exact influence of AKI on long-term mortality in such patients has not yet been determined. Methods:We retrospectively evaluated the impact of AKI, defined by the "Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of kidney function, End-stage kidney disease" (RIFLE) classification based on creatinine criteria, on 2-year mortality in a cohort of 234 hospital surviving septic patients who had been hospitalized at the Infectious Disease Intensive Care Unit of our Hospital.Results: Mean-follow-up was 21 ± 6.4 months. During this period, 32 patients (13.7%) died. At 6 months, 1 and 2 years of follow-up, the cumulative probability of death of patients with previous AKI was 8.3, 16.9 and 34.2%, respectively, as compared with 2.2, 6 and 8.9% in patients without previous AKI (log-rank, P < 0.0001). In the univariate analysis, age (hazard ratio 1.4, 95% CI 1.2-1.7, P < 0.0001), as well as pre-existing cardiovascular disease (hazard ratio 3.6, 95% CI 1.4-9.4, P = 0.009), illness severity as evaluated by nonrenal APACHE II (hazard ratio 1.3, 95% CI 1.1-1.6, P = 0.002), and previous AKI (hazard ratio 4.2, 95% CI 2.1-8.5, P < 0.0001) were associated with increased 2-year mortality, while gender, race, pre-existing hypertension, cirrhosis, HIV infection, neoplasm, and baseline glomerular filtration rate did not. In the multivariate analysis, however, only previous AKI (hazard ratio 3.2, 95% CI 1.6-6.5, P = 0.001) and age (hazard ratio 1.4, 95% CI 1.2-1.6, P < 0.0001) emerged as independent predictors of 2-year mortality.Conclusions: Acute kidney injury had a negative impact on long-term mortality of patients with sepsis.

Objetivo: analisar a busca de homens pelos serviços de Atenção Básica à Saúde e sua relação com a construção social das masculinidades. Método: estudo descritivo desenvolvido com dez homens usuários de uma Unidade de Saúde da Família de um município da Bahia, Brasil. Os dados foram obtidos em entrevista semiestruturada e os resultados submetidos à análise de conteúdo. Resultados: emergiram três categorias: A busca tardia pelos serviços de Atenção Básica à Saúde; O cuidado e o autocuidado como atributo feminino e; Virilidade, força e honraconstruindo as masculinidades nos discursos. Nos discursos, as construções sociais das masculinidades repercutem na busca dos homens pelos serviços de saúde. Conclusão: os homens buscam tardiamente os serviços da Atenção Básica à Saúde e consideram o cuidado como um atributo feminino, o que evidencia a repercussão das construções sociais das masculinidades nessa busca.

The objectives of this study were to verify the occurrence of urinary incontinence (UI) and its characteristics in pre-frail and frail elderly patients of a geriatrics outpatient clinic, compare the presence of frailness criteria among the elderly with and without UI and identify among the frailty criteria the chance of risk for UI among those elderly outpatients. Participants were 100 elderly individuals, with an average age of 76.2 years; 65 participants reported UI, 71.3% of which presented three or more frailness criteria. The occurrence of UI was greater in frail participants (p=0.0011). Multivariate analysis showed that the criteria slowness (OR=4.99) and exhaustion (OR=4.85) has a statistically significant relation with UI. The occurrence of UI was high and participants who presented slowness have a risk almost five times greater to presenting UI while those reporting exhaustion have a risk five times greater for UI compared to those without these criteria.
