Dentre muitas patologias, atualmente a obesidade apresenta uma significativa prevalência no Brasil e no mundo. Considerada uma doença crônica que resulta no aumento de gordura, proveniente de um desequilíbrio no balanço energético, que vem acometendo crianças e adolescentes causando graves consequências cardiovasculares, metabólicas e psicossociais. Este estudo tem objetivo de promover uma reflexão teórica sobre a obesidade infantil e identificar os aspectos gerais associados a esta patologia, destacando aspectos epidemiológicos, etiológicos, consequências e tratamento, considerando a importância da atividade física (AF). Durante a revisão da literatura, construindo os objetivos deste estudo, alcançamos alguns pilares na compreensão da doença, em que se verificou a importância de uma equipe multidisciplinar, promovendo a saúde e prevenir a doença, o que implica a alteração de hábitos de vida, como também os fatores culturais, sociais e ambientais.

RESUMOO objetivo do estudo foi relatar o desenvolvimento da cultura de melancias tratadas com preparados homeopáticos. Plantas de melancias foram cultivadas com aplicações de Calcarea carbonica 5CH, Natrum muriaticum 5CH e Calcarea phosphorica 5CH. Não foi observada a presença de praga ou doença durante o ciclo de plantio e após a colheita. O amadurecimento dos frutos foi adiantado em, aproximadamente, dez dias e o sabor mais adocicado quando comparado a melancias cultivadas com agrotóxicos. Palavras-chave:Agrohomeopatia. Altas Diluições. Terapias Não Residuais. ABSTRACTThe objective of the study was to report the development of the watermelon culture treated with homeopathic preparations. Watermelon plants were cultivated with applications of Calcarea carbonica 5CH, Natrum muriaticum 5CH and Calcarea phosphorica 5CH. It wasn't observed the presence of any pest of disease during the planting cycle and after harvest. The fruit ripening was advanced in approximately ten days and the sweet flavour accentuated when compared to watermelons cultivated with pesticides.

Adiponectin is considered a biomarker of health status, and high levels are associated with good health. Science discusses the results on the effects of physical activity on increasing adiponectin levels, especially in child with obesity. The scope of the present study was to evaluate a physical exercise intervention program, after 10 months of duration, in the plasma concentration of adiponectin in students from six to nine years of age with overweight and obesity. This is a randomized clinical study of a near-experimental intervention of the type before and after. The physical exercise resulted in a significant reduction in the percentage of body fat (%BF) and triglycerides. Adiponectin there was a non-significant increase. The present study showed that the practice of physical exercise did not increase adiponectin levels, but was responsible for a great improvement in the children lipid profile and reduction in %BF.

Objective: To analyze the medicine use by hospitalized patients with DM diagnosis and its association with mortality in one year follow up. Methods: Surveillance of all hospitalizations was conducted through the public health system in the mid-sized municipality of Minas Gerais, Brazil, for 18 weeks. Patients were interviewed regarding their socioeconomic, demographic, as well as medication use. Additionally, they were monitored regarding death outcomes. Deceased and survivors were compared using Multivariable analysis with Classification and Regression Tree. Results: During surveillance we identified 96 patients with DM diagnosis hospitalized, among these, 63 were interviewed regarding medication use. A total of 16 patients (28.1%) did reported difficulty in finding medication within the public health system, 22 (34.9%) did not use hypoglycemic drugs, and 25 (39.7%) had low medication adherence. We found high death outcomes during follow-up, when 32 patients had died (33.3%). The variables associated with death were: absence of information regarding the effects of discontinuing medication; dispensary location, polypharmacy; legal age of adulthood and number of children. Conclusions: This investigation describes problems related to the correct use of drugs by patients with DM who may be contributing to the frequent hospitalizations besides the high mortality rate in this population. These findings may prove useful in public policy planning for DM and may lead to a significant reduction in premature death.
