Este estudo objetiva descrever características demográficas, informações sobre internação e antecedentes médicos, bem como traçar o perfil epidemiológico de idosos atendidos no Pronto-Socorro (PS) do Hospital das Clínicas – UFG (HCUFG). Trata-se de um estudo transversal e descritivo. Através da análise de prontuários, de janeiro de 2015 a julho de 2016, foram selecionados pacientes com 60 anos ou mais, que permaneceram no PS por mais de 24 horas ou vieram à óbito neste período. Baseado nos prontuários, foram pesquisadas as seguintes variáveis: aspectos sociodemográficos, queixas sintomáticas, causas de internação, complicações durante a internação, antecedentes (comorbidades e medicamentos em uso) e condições de alta. Dos 743 pacientes adultos atendidos no período, 29,87% eram idosos, totalizando 222 pacientes estudados. A mediana de idade foi 69 anos, sendo a maioria do sexo masculino. As principais queixas referidas no processo de triagem foram náuseas e vômitos. Infecção foi a causa de internação mais frequente e a maioria dos pacientes evoluiu sem complicações. Hipertensão e diabetes mellitus foram as comorbidades mais prevalentes (65,77% e 43,24%, respectivamente). Aproximadamente 41, 89% dos pacientes apresentavam polifarmácia. A duração média da permanência no hospital foi 4,9 dias. No período, 18, 47% vieram a óbito e 71,17% receberam alta com melhora do quadro clínico. Em geral, os resultados do estudo foram compatíveis com a literatura. Espera-se que os dados desse estudo contribuam para o conhecimento nacional sobre pacientes idosos atendidos em serviços médicos de emergência, importante para o desenvolvimento de abordagens clínicas mais direcionadas e resolutivas

Frontotemporal dementia corresponds to a heterogenous group of syndromes characterized by progressive changes in behavior and/or language. Approximately 30% of patients with primary progressive aphasia, semantic variant (semantic dementia), present with atrophy in the right cerebral hemisphere, in a rare clinical condition called right temporal variant of frontotemporal dementia (rtvFTD). The objective of the study is to present the main demographic, clinical, neuropsychological, neuroimaging, and pathologic characteristics of rtvFTD patients. A systematic review of the literature was carried out in the PubMed, LILACS, and SCIELO databases between January and March 2022. After the evaluation process, 41 articles were selected, published between 1993 and 2021. We found that rtvFTD presents with severe and progressive prosopagnosia (related to anterior temporal lobe injury) associated with behavioral symptoms—desinibition (51%), apathy (39%), obsessive-compulsive symptoms (37%), changes in eating habits (33%), and depression (28%), which is different from semantic dementia. The most common pathologic pattern is TDP-43, type C. This field of knowledge has few studies (mainly reports and case series) and heterogenous nomenclature, which is a limitation. A multinational longitudinal registry of people with rtvFTD, with standardized assessment and description of symptoms, is necessary to elucidate the characteristics of this entity.

Background: Blood pressure measurement is recommended in all medical evaluations, regardless of the specialty. It is a simple and easy-to-do procedure, but usually neglected or performed incorrectly.

Background: Bipolar disorder (BD) is a severe, recurrent and chronic disorder associated with cognitive impairment, reduction in quality of life and substantially reduction in psychosocial functioning. It presents high rates of comorbidity with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Individuals with bipolar disorder need to focus their attention and treatment on mental and physical health. Physical exercise is often recommended in bipolar disorder, based on extrapolation from the major depressive disorder literature, theory and clinical expertise. However, studies tend to exclude individuals with BD or make no distinction between diagnostic groups, which leads to heterogeneity and difficulty in generalizing the results. The aim of this review is to evaluate the role of physical exercise as an intervention in bipolar disorder treatment. Method: The study populations must be humans, aged 18 years or older, with a clinical diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder (BD) according to a recognised widely-used diagnostic classification approach, confirmed with a structured interview. We will evaluate two main outcomes (mood symptoms improvement and functioning) and an additional outcome (prevention of relapse/recurrence). The search strategy will be based on the PICOS framework, using medical subject headings, on the following databases: MEDLINE (via Pubmed), EMBASE, CENTRAL, SPORTDiscus (via EBSCO), PsycINFO (via APA) and OpenGrey Repository. Selection and data collection process will be carried out by two authors, independently. Risk of bias and quality of evidence will be graded acording ROB-2 and GRADE. We will present a narrative and quantitative synthesis of the results from the included studies. Regarding quantitative data, we will extract means (M) and standard deviations (SD), when available, to calculate the standardised mean difference (SMD). Effects size will be calculated using SMD and 95% confidence interval and heterogeneity will be assessed. Subgroup analysis will be conducted to explore heterogeneity across studies depending on quality and quantity of the data extracted.Discussion: To date, there wasn't a systematic review with only randomized controlled trials on effects of physical activity on BD. Because of this, we will conduct this systematic review trying to estabilish the effects of exercise on mood, functionality and prevention of relapse.Registration: submitted
