The aim of this study is to analyze the evidence on respiratory physiotherapy intervention in adult asthmatic patients.Through an integrative literature review in medline/pubmed, LILACS and PEDro databases, studies without language restriction, published between 2009 and 2021. Those who used interventions in children and the elderly were excluded, as well as literature review studies, book chapters, dissertations and theses. After the search of the articles in the aforementioned databases, a total of 969 articles were found. When applying the eligibility criteria, 08 articles were selected to make up the present study. In view of the above, it can be affirmed that there is evidence that supports the importance of respiratory interventions in adult patients with asthma. Breathing exercises can provide short/long-term benefits, which are important for better disease control and quality of life. Education programs with asthma patients are also effective, because the broad knowledge of the disease, as well as the guidelines, interfere in the reduction of morbidity and a better quality of life.
The present study aimed to verify in the literature the effects of the Pilates method a safe and effective therapeutic modality to obtain the relief of low back pain in pregnant women. This is a study of a literature review using the following databases: SciELO, Lilacs and PUBMED. The search in the database was performed using the following key words: Pilate's methods, pregnancy, low back pain. The articles surveyed were published in the period from 2016 to 2021. We found 38 scientific articles, of which four were used to date in this review, are works that address the Pilates method. The studies showed positive effects of the Pilates method on low back pain in pregnant women with decreased pain intensity.
Chronic rheumatic heart disease consists of a group of acute or chronic heart diseases that occurs as a result of rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever is an inflammatory disease triggered by pharyngeal tonsillitis caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes. It is more frequent in children between 5 and 15 years of age. It can affect skin, joints, brain and heart. The most common complication is the damage to the mitral valve of the heart. To quantify the number of hospitalizations by age, sex and region of children and adolescents affected by chronic rheumatic heart disease. Through the database of the SUS Hospital Information System (SIH/SUS), the hospitalization forms for chronic rheumatic heart disease in Brazil were evaluated from 2016 to 2019, provided by DATASUS/Ministry of Health. The results showed that the most affected sex is female (57.57%), in the region the Southeast region stands out (41.34%). The city with the highest number of registered cases is São Paulo (19.55%), followed by Belo Horizonte (15.81%). Among the age group, it is the 10-14-year-old age group with the highest incidence, totaling 681 reported cases. This study expresses and proves that the female population is quite affected in Brazil. Among the cases analyzed, the female gender predominates in reported cases and the most affected age group is between 10 and 14 years. It was also evidenced that low educational level, as well as low income and poor basic sanitation are factors that influence the onset of the disease.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is an invaluable public health problem, with an incidence of 40 to 80 injuries per million people per year, resulting in trauma, disease or birth defect that causes changes in sensitivity and motor function, whose impairments depend on the level reached. The aim of this study was to characterize the cause and level of SCI, as well as to describe the age group and gender of these patients seen at a Physiotherapy School Clinic in the state of Pernambuco in 2020. This is an exploratory, descriptive and quantitative study. Forty-two medical records of patients in the neurology department of the school clinic were analyzed and those with a closed diagnosis of SCI were included. After evaluating the eligibility criteria, 9 patients were included in the research. The collected data were analyzed, interpreted and exposed through graphs and demonstrated by mean or percentage. It is concluded that the study confirms the highest prevalence of complete TYPE LM, thus being the majority of wheelchair patients. Thoracic injury was the most common level and the main etiology was gunshot wound. All medical records evaluated were of male patients, with a mean age of 39 years.

Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is currently a relevant public health problem, in view of its high rates of worldwide prevalence. It can be considered the harm caused by modern life due to the sedentary lifestyle adopted by today's society. To analyze studies evaluating the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the elderly and cardio metabolic risk factors. A literature review was conducted, considering the initial period of the databases until May 2018, in the searches, the virtual health library was used as a database, which covers the electronic databases: LILACS, SciELO and MEDLINE. The Boolean operator AND was used to association the following descriptors: Elderly; Metabolic X Syndrome; Prevalence. Women had higher rates of prevalence of MS (the discussion is not concluded). The study becomes relevant because it sought to provide literary support on the conditions related to the prevalence and risks of MS in the elderly, in which, in recent decades, the interest of the scientific community has been arousing, thus, enabling knowledge on the subject, as well as the importance of the need for systematic action of health professionals.
The aim of this research is to investigate what is in the literature about the role that the dermato-functional physiotherapist develops in the healing process in burned patients and what protocols are used. The collection was of scientific articles taken from electronic bases of scientific publications, and the following were identified: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LiLacs), PUBMED and Medline. Through the search in the databases resulted in the identification of 50 articles, being selected only 09 publications in this way, 41 articles were evaluated and excluded for not having theme according to the theme. Thus, it was possible to identify that physiotherapy 2
The intensive care unit (ICU) is the place in the hospital designed to offer advanced life support and continuous care to sick patients with an imminent risk of death. Critical patients in the ICU may present some disorders due to immobility in the bed, resulting in muscle changes, cardiopulmonary complications and cognitive deficiencies. These factors can prolong the hospital stay of these patients, increasing the risk of complications and death. To analyze the effects of early mobilization in reducing the length of hospital stay in critically ill patients in the intensive care unit. It was an integrative literature review, with data obtained through research in the electronic databases: PubMed / MedLine, Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), International Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) and Google Scholar, in the months from August 2020 to June 2021, without language restrictions. Six articles were found that met the eligibility criteria, which were included in the integrative literature review. Through the results found, there was a decrease in the length of hospital stay of critical patients undergoing early intervention in the ICU, however, no significant differences were found between the groups. Further studies are needed to expand the evidence regarding the topic addressed.
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.
