Introduction: Rett syndrome was initially described as a condition of “Cerebral atrophy associated with hyperammonemia”, by german pediatrician Andreas Rett in a study with 31 girls, where mental and motor regression was noticeable in these patients. It is a genetic syndrome, associated with mutations in the MECP2 gene, located on the X chromosome. SR, being considered rare, and despite the difficulties caused by the condition of the syndrome, these children can survive until adulthood, although with low life expectancy compared to normal individuals. Objective: To verify in the literature the physical therapy approaches used in children with neuropsychomotor retardation diagnosed with Rett syndrome. Materials and Methods: This study is characterized as an integrative review of the literature. Data collection was performed from May to June 2021, using Lilacs, PubMed and Medline electronic databases. The Boolean descriptors and operators used were Rett syndrome AND Physiotherapy intervention. Articles previously or equal to the year 2021 were included in the sample, in English and Portuguese. Results: The physiotherapist has several options of therapies, from the conventional to the alternatives. Regarding the importance of physiotherapy in patients with Rett Syndrome, it is seen that it has great relevance for the extension of survival of these individuals, being a fundamental part in the management of the syndrome. Conclusion: The research demonstrated that the role of the physiotherapist in children diagnosed with Rett syndrome has been of incredible significance, since these professionals provide these children with the opportunity to perform their daily activities in a more functional and often less painful way, this is because children with Rett syndrome have a delay in neuropsychomotor development, which contributes in the future to an adult with consequences that hinder simple day-to-day activities.
This article aims to describe the physiotherapeutic techniques applied in the intervention of the disease, to raise socioeconomic aspects of the relatives of children with hydrocephalus, and to classify the profile and lifestyle of these children after contact with the physiotherapist. Therefore, the methodology is a qualitative research, based on bibliographic surveys contained in databases. It is concluded that physiotherapy does not act in the treatment of the disease itself, but in the sensory and motor dysfunctions that the disease causes, and from this, the physiotherapy applications for the habilitation or rehabilitation of the functions interrupted by hydrocephalus can be in different ways, depending on the degree of evolution of damage caused by hydrocephalus. Thus, the earlier the diagnosis is made and the physiotherapeutic treatments are started, the greater the gain in motor function and functional independence. It is also worth mentioning that the family’s participation and their economic conditions can directly influence the child’s development and recovery.
Introduction: Early childhood corresponds to the period from birth to 6 years of age, it is during this period that the child gains fundamental skills for the full development of various skills. However, many factors can influence this development, such as physical, family and social issues, social isolation, for example, caused a process of transformation of the domestic environment, which started to add a set of activities related to work, school and even even physical activity. The current context of the pandemic has generated impacts on education, family life, economic and global development of children, because with isolation, many activities were restricted, as well as the functioning of daycare centers and schools, which often played a fundamental role. in the nutrition of some children. Objective: To profile the global development of children aged 0 to 5 years in a district in the interior of Bahia. Materials and methods: The research was carried out in Capoeiruçu, district of Cachoeira-Ba, and children from 0 to 5 years old living in the district were included in the study. epidemiological; Ages & Stages Questionaires -3, and the Early Childhood Development Index 2030. The collected data were tabulated in a database in the Statistical Software Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22. Results: According to the analysis, about 47.20% of families survive with 2 or less minimum wages per month and 32.4% of parents have completed high school. In addition, 55.9% of mothers had health problems during pregnancy, such as anemia and hypertension. Another impacting factor is that 41.20% of these parents and caregivers were unemployed in the pandemic, reporting that 64.7% of these families were infected with the COVID-19 virus. Of the total number of families interviewed, 55.9% reported that their children became more dependent on activities such as playing, running or anything else. Conclusion: According to the results presented, we can point out that, although some of these children have some factors that may influence a deficit in global development, they still had a good income, as these qualities may be linked to the fact that the community is composed mainly by university students in the health area, which favors obtaining more information on issues related to the typical development of children.
Objectives: To show how to prevent puerperal endometritis. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review with a descriptive and exploratory approach, carried out from October 2022 to December 2022 based on a bibliographic survey in the scientific databases of virtual health libraries: Latin American Literature and Caribbean Health Sciences (LILACS), Nursing Database (BDENF) and International Health Sciences Literature (MEDLINE). Thus, a thorough reading of the titles and abstracts was carried out, highlighting 15 studies, and after reading them in full, 7 articles were chosen to compose the final sample. Results and Discussion: From the analysis of the literature, it was evidenced that cesarean delivery is the main factor for triggering puerperal infections and that, through all the pre-existing risk factors, preventive measures must be adopted by the entire team multidisciplinary approach, antiseptic techniques must be performed correctly, adherence to humanized childbirth is paramount and must be advocated as an essential factor, hand washing, ongoing education for the health team, use of sterile materials and the use of Individual Protection are forms of prevention that will minimize the risks of Puerperal Infections in all their pre-delivery, intraoperative and postoperative phases. Final Considerations: The study showed that the nursing professional can provide important assistance for the prevention of Puerperal Infections, and that the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary team of collaborators must act systematically in the process of reporting any adverse event. And that a set of actions performed correctly and effectively can prevent cases of Puerperal Infections.
The rates reported by Chagas disease have intensified as a result of the determining factors for the disease. In this sense, with the arrival of Covid-19 in Brazil, several notifiable diseases were neglected, influencing Chagas disease, where cases were left aside, as if it were not of great importance during the peak period of the pandemic. Consequently, the lack of notification resulted in making individuals more vulnerable to acquiring the disease and developing aggravating clinical outcomes. Thus, the objective of this study is to compare the incidence of Chagas disease before and during the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as to discuss the factors that imply the clinical diagnosis. This research was carried out through a cross-sectional analysis, using epidemiological data from reported cases of Chagas disease in two periods: before and during Covid-19. The data collection was carried out by the Notifiable Diseases Information System - SINAN and the Unified Health System Database - DATASUS, where the collected data are concentrated between the period from September 2017 to August 2020 , among the states of the northeast region of Brazil. Therefore, by observational analysis, it was found every year that the northern region is always ahead of confirmed cases of the disease and during Covid-19 these numbers are still high, because in the pandemic period, actions were neglected to prevent, control and care for diseases including Chagas disease.
