Background: Since the publication of the first Brazilian Consensus on Gastric Cancer (GC) in 2012 carried out by the Brazilian Gastric Cancer Association, new concepts on diagnosis, staging, treatment and follow-up have been incorporated. Aim: This new consensus is to promote an update to professionals working in the fight against GC and to provide guidelines for the management of patients with this condition. Methods: Fifty-nine experts answered 67 statements regarding the diagnosis, staging, treatment and prognosis of GC with five possible alternatives: 1) fully agree; 2) partially agree; 3) undecided; 4) disagree and 5) strongly disagree A consensus was adopted when at least 80% of the sum of the answers “fully agree” and “partially agree” was reached. This article presents only the responses of the participating experts. Comments on each statement, as well as a literature review, will be presented in future publications. Results: Of the 67 statements, there was consensus in 50 (74%). In 10 declarations, there was 100% agreement. Conclusion: The gastric cancer treatment has evolved considerably in recent years. This consensus gathers consolidated principles in the last decades, new knowledge acquired recently, as well as promising perspectives on the management of this disease.
-Background -The incidence of surgical site infection in bariatric patients is significant and the current recommendations for antibiotic prophylaxis are sometimes inadequate. Objective -The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of three prophylactic antibiotic regimens on the incidence of surgical site infection. Methods -A prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted between January 2009 and January 2013 in which 896 Roux-en-Y gastric bypasses were performed to treat obesity. The study compared three groups of patients according to the perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis administered intravenously and beginning at anesthesia induction: Group I consisting of 194 patients treated with two 3-g doses of ampicillin/sulbactam; Group II with 303 patients treated with a single 1-g dose of ertapenem; and Group III with 399 patients treated with a 2-g dose of cefazolin at anesthesia induction followed by a continuous infusion of cefazolin 1g throughout the surgical procedure. The rate of surgical site infection was analyzed, as well as its association with age, sex, preoperative weight, body mass index and comorbidities. Results -The rates of surgical site infection were 4.16% in the group treated prophylactically with ampicillin/sulbactam, 1.98% in the ertapenem group and 1.55% in the continuous cefazolin group. Conclusion -The prophylactic use of continuous cefazolin in surgeries for morbid obesity shows very promising results. These findings suggest that some prophylactic regimens need to be reconsidered and even substituted by more effective therapies for the prevention of surgical site infections in bariatric patients.
OBJETIVOS: Conhecer a prevalência e as características do assédio moral nas residências médica e não médica em um hospital de ensino em Recife (PE). MÉTODOS: Um questionário foi elaborado para investigar a prevalência do assédio moral, os perfis do assediado e do assediador, e possíveis sequelas. Uma definição para assédio moral foi apresentada aos participantes. RESULTADOS: Foram entrevistados 105 residentes. A prevalência do assédio foi de 41,9%, sendo mais frequente em menores de 28 anos (46,3%), mulheres (45,8%), residentes do segundo ano (47,7%) e na área médica (46,8%). Essas diferenças não foram estatisticamente significantes (p = 0,082; 0,118; 0,349; 0,225, respectivamente). As mulheres referiram mais sequelas (p = 0,013), sendo a maior parte destas de origem psíquica (58,5%) ou profissional (39,0%). Os profissionais responsáveis pela preceptoria são os principais assediadores (40,7%), seguidos daqueles com cargos na coordenação (29,1%; p = < 0,001). CONCLUSÕES: 41,9% dos residentes já foram vítimas de assédio moral. Não houve diferença significativa de prevalência entre os grupos estudados. Os cargos próximos das atividades clínicas se mostraram mais propícios a cometê-lo (preceptoria e coordenação). O sexo feminino se mostrou tão suscetível ao assédio quanto o masculino, mas sofreu significativamente mais sequelas (p = 0,013).
Background: The II Brazilian Consensus on Gastric Cancer by the Brazilian Gastric Cancer Association (ABCG) was recently published. On this occasion, several experts in gastric cancer expressed their opinion before the statements presented. Aim: To present the ABCG Guidelines (part 1) regarding the diagnosis, staging, endoscopic treatment and follow-up of gastric cancer patients. Methods: To forge these Guidelines, the authors carried out an extensive and current review regarding each statement present in the II Consensus, using the Medline/PubMed, Cochrane Library and SciELO databases with the following descriptors: gastric cancer, staging, endoscopic treatment and follow-up. In addition, each statement was classified according to the level of evidence and degree of recommendation. Results: Of the 24 statements, two (8.3%) were classified with level of evidence A, 11 (45.8%) with B and 11 (45.8%) with C. As for the degree of recommendation, six (25%) statements obtained grade of recommendation 1, nine (37.5%) recommendation 2a, six (25%) 2b and three (12.5%) grade 3. Conclusion: The guidelines presented here are intended to assist professionals working in the fight against gastric cancer with relevant and current information, granting them to be applied in the daily medical practice.

OBJETIVO: Analisar a experiência do Serviço de Cirurgia Geral - HC/UFPE com os tumores do intestino delgado, na tentativa de colaborar com a definição de metas para o manejo dessas lesões. MÉTODO: Constitui-se este estudo em uma análise retrospectiva de12 pacientes portadores de neoplasias intestinais atendidos no SCG-HC/UFPE, no período de cinco anos (1994-1999). Sete eram do sexo masculino (58%). A média de idade à admissão foi de 52 anos. A principal queixa referida foi dor abdominal (83%), seguida por sangramento digestivo e perda ponderal (42%). Massa abdominal palpável foi evidenciada em 50% dos casos. Sete (58%) apresentavam lesões malignas. Dentre as neoplasias benignas, quatro eram leiomiomas. Uma paciente, portadora de síndrome de Peutz-Jeghers, apresentou um hamartoma. Dez foram submetidos a tratamento operatório. Em seis, enterectomia com enteroanastomose foi empregada. Três foram operados em caráter de urgência (um por perfuração intestinal, um por enterorragia maciça e um por obstrução intestinal). RESULTADOS: A mortalidade relacionada à operação foi de 17%. Todos os pacientes que evoluíram para óbito apresentavam neoplasias malignas avançadas e perda ponderal superior a15% de seu peso. CONCLUSÕES: Tumores do intestino delgado são lesões incomuns, mesmo em serviços de referência. Um alto grau de suspeição deve ser mantido visando o diagnóstico precoce.
OBJETIVOS: descrever o perfil epidemiológico e clínico das pacientes admitidas com o diagnóstico de sepse puerperal de origem pélvica em uma Unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI) obstétrica. MÉTODOS: um estudo de corte transversal, de fevereiro a agosto de 2010, foi conduzido. Foram investigados os casos de sepse puerperal de origem pélvica admitidas na UTI obstétrica do Instituto de Medicina Integral Prof. Fernando Figueira (IMIP) - Recife - Brasil. As variáveis analisadas foram: idade, procedência, realização de pré-natal, via de parto, uso de sonda vesical, uso de cateter venoso central, intubação, uso de droga vasoativa, realização de relaparotomia, o número de relaparotomias realizadas, realização de histerectomia, ocorrência de complicações e óbito. RESULTADOS: identificamos 77 admissões por sepse, sendo 35 puerperal de origem genital. A idade média foi de 22,6 anos, a maioria procedente de cidades do interior do estado. 52,9% das mulheres tinham até 20 anos. 62,5% eram primíparas e 68,6% haviam sido submetidas a cesárea. Em relação à temperatura, 42,8% das pacientes apresentaram valores abaixo de 35ºC ou acima de 37,8ºC. Complicações ocorreram em 45,7% das pacientes. Diálise foi indicada em 40% e droga vasoativa utilizada em 22,9%. Histerectomia foi realizada em 44,1% das pacientes, sendo necessário relaparotomia em 54,3%. CONCLUSÕES: a sepse puerperal de origem genital é doença grave, que acomete mulheres jovens de baixa paridade. A freqüência de complicações e de procedimentos invasivos nesse grupo de mulheres é alto o que implica em alta morbidade e mortalidade. Conhecer de forma mais detalhada esse grupo de pacientes contribui com o conhecimento atual sobre a doença, melhorando a preparação dos centros para lidar a sepse puerperal de origem genital.
