Objetivo: Analisar, através de uma revisão sistemática da literatura, o impacto do déficit de sono sobre a saúde ao longo de todas as fases da vida e associá-lo ao aparecimento de diversas doenças. Métodos: Foi realizada revisão literária nas bases de dados científicos da área médica, como Latindex, Medline e Lilacs, com os descritores “Transtornos do Sono-Vigília”, “Privação do Sono”, “Fases do Sono”, “Sono de Ondas Lentas”, “Sono REM”, e seus correspondentes em inglês e espanhol. Ao final da análise, 29 textos preencheram os parâmetros de seleção estabelecidos. Resultados: A má qualidade do sono em grávidas está associada a maior risco de partos prematuros. Ademais, decréscimos no tempo de sono em crianças tendem a acarretar telômeros mais curtos, que aumentam mortalidade e morbidade na idade adulta. Na adolescência, o sono insuficiente influencia os padrões alimentares e de atividade física, repercutindo na sua saúde e no seu desenvolvimento. No adulto, desencadeiam-se doenças cardiovasculares, obesidade, diminuição da fertilidade, transtornos psiquiátricos e alterações epigenéticas indesejadas. Já o sono perturbado no idoso pode levar a quedas noturnas intensificadas. Considerações finais: A privação do sono está comprovadamente associada ao desenvolvimento sistêmico de diversas doenças em todas as fases da vida.
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative syndrome caused by repetitive and cumulative head trauma. Due to the widespread practice of contact and collision sports, a discussion of the long-term repercussions of repeated head trauma is imperative. The present literature review, performed through the SciELO, PUBMED, and BVS-Bireme databases, includes studies conducted since the year 2000, which established the relationship between CTE and the practice of sports. The diagnosis of CTE was notably present in individuals practicing sports that involve repeated traumatic brain injuries. The noticeable changes triggered by CTE include a series of clinical and neuropathological manifestations that can help in the differentiation from other tauopathies.
Introduction: Elders are a heterogeneous group with gender and age-based differences. The frailty concept makes the debate about the major factor that leads those patients to emergency relevant. Therefore, the high potential of morbidity and mortality of neurological occurrences established the scenario in which this study has been designed. Objective: Report the number of hospitalizations by neurological diseases to evaluate its prevalence in the context of emergency admissions and establish a connection between etiology-health promotion. Methods: It is a cross-sectional retrospective study settled in Juiz de Fora, which is part of the Consórcio Intermunicipal de Saúde da Região Sudeste (CISDESTE). Care provided by Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência (SAMU) to elderly above 61 years old for the period between April/2015 to March/2019 were included in Microsoft Excel 2010 spreadsheets. Information such as age, gender, and type of patient’s neurological occurrence was added to the script. Results: In the period of analysis, 28718 occurrences of elders attended by SAMU were notified. From this total, 7778 (27%) were related to neurological occurrences. Analyzing gender, female patients represented the majority of occurrences, despite the incidence of neurological disorders, which was lower than in male patients (23,5% to 25,6% and 28,5% to 34,5% respectively). Conclusion: It was demonstrated that male is a population at risk of disabling and acute neurological events. The importance of individual care to the elderly is noted, and new studies must be done.
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.
