Objectives: to develop, validate with specialists and internationally certify a virtual health portal, the D+Informação. Methods: a quantitative methodological study. Twenty-two expert judges validated the Portal in the health and computer science areas using the Content Validity Index and the Gwet test. International certification followed HONcode principles® to ensure the trust of information. Results: judges of health and computer science validated the portal obtaining a minimum Content Validity Index in more than 75% of the topics, in addition to the evaluation of general agreement, 0.253; content evaluation, 0.193, and interface evaluation, 0.230. All presented the value of Gwet with p ≤ 0,001. Conclusions: the portal D+Informação was developed, validated, internationally certified and is hosted on this website: https://demaisinformacao.com.br
95 Background: Several studies have explored the hypothesis of involvement of the immune system in the cancer-related fatigue (CRF) and quality of life in adults with cancer via release of cytokines. However, how the immune system may produce these outcomes remains a largely unanswered question. Furthermore, research on fatigue in children and adolescents with cancer has included primarily self-reports of this symptom, with scarce although increasing data exploring biologic variables related to this symptom. Methods: To comprehensively examine the influence of cytokines in the fatigue and health related quality of life (HRQOL) in children and adolescents with cancer, we investigated the plasma levels of pro and anti-inflamatory cytokines and its correlation with fatigue and HRQOL in children and adolescents with cancer. Plasma levels of 6 cytokines were measured via flow cytometry. Results: The final sample consisted of 33 hospitalized children and adolescents aged between 8 and 18 years. We found a correlation between general fatigue and IL-1β (r = –0.361, p = 0.039) and correlation with quality of life was noted with IL-1β (r = –0.382, p = 0.028). The results of this research indicate that there may be a relationship between cytokines and fatigue, and HRQOL in children and adolescents with cancer. When analyzed the correlation between fatigue and some confounding variables found the link between general fatigue and neutrophils (r = –0.360, p = 0.040). This correlation is a novel found in this population under cancer condition, implicating a possible interleukin-hematological pathway for CRF in oncology. Conclusions: Our study confirms the potential role of cytokines in developing cancer-related symptoms, thus supporting the utility of the neuroimmunological approach to the discovery of biomarkers linked to the clusters of cancer-related symptoms.
Introdução: A Espinha Bífida (EB) é a mais frequente malformação congênita no mundo, sendo responsável por importantes sequelas neurológicas, compatível com a vida. Diante disso, faz-se necessário identificar e desenvolver tecnologias educacionais, que auxiliem na capacitação e no apoio a indivíduos com EB e seus familiares. Nessa direção, foi desenvolvido um fórum virtual para indivíduos com EB e seus familiares, o MieloFórum. Objetivo: A proposta deste estudo é avaliar os acessos, a acessibilidade dos seus usuários e garantir uma certificação de qualidade ao mesmo. Método: Para a análise de erros de HTML foram coletados os erros de acessos do MieloFórum, analisado os acessos e submetido a uma certificação de qualidade. Resultados e discussões: o fórum foi desenvolvido e avaliado, sendo encontrado o total de 28 problemas no código do fórum, levando em consideração as regras de padronização do World Wide Web Consortium mostrou-se abrangente em acessos no período analisado e submetido a certificação de qualidade. Foram mais de 1500 acessos em 7 meses com uma demanda em diversos países. Conclusão: A submissão do MieloFórum em uma ferramenta de análise da acessibilidade mostrou-se útil para o julgamento e a correção dos problemas identificados, potencializando-o juntamente com a certificação de qualidade. Descritores: Reabilitação,Acesso aos Serviços de Saúde, Fórum de Saúde.
A Deus por ter me guiado nesse percurso. Às pessoas mais importantes da minha vida: minha mãe Ângela, avó Divina e bisavó Cleide, por serem incansáveis no apoio para que eu jamais desistisse, por serem meu exemplo de vida e, principalmente, pelo amor incondicional. AgradecimentosAgradeço imensamente à minha orientadora, Dra. Fabiana Faleiros Santana Castro pelo aprendizado mútuo, pela parceria, paciência e competência em me guiar neste árduo trabalho e nas demais dificuldades da vida.
