Introduction: Obesity may decrease the strength of respiratory muscles as well as pulmonary function. Objective: To analyze the influence of respiratory muscles and pulmonary function on the quality of life of morbidly obese individuals. Methods: Twenty-eight morbidly obese individuals of age ≥ 18 and Body Mass Index ≥ 40kg/m² were assessed for maximal respiratory pressures, pulmonary function, and quality of life. Results: The maximal respiratory pressures were 96.30% and 100.21% of the expected levels. Regarding pulmonary function, there were changes in the results of peak expiratory flow (PEF) and forced inspiratory vital capacity (FIVC), which were below the expected levels (92.32% and 89.14%, respectively). Quality of life results showed an average score of 50 on the items related to mental health, while the average score on physical health items was 46. Conclusions: MRP and pulmonary function do not seem to affect the quality of life in morbidly obese individuals. http://clinicaltrials.org - NCT01449643 - The Influence of Inspiratory Muscular Training (IMT) on Diaphragmatic Mobility in Morbidly Obese.
Objetivo: Analisar a completude e consistência das fichas de investigação epidemiológica da hanseníase no estado do Maranhão, de 2015 a 2018. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo com o universo das notificações de hanseníase no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação; a qualidade foi avaliada quanto à completude e consistência dos registros; para análise de tendência do preenchimento e da consistência dos campos, foi empregada regressão linear simples (p<0,05). Resultados: Foram estudados 17.121 registros de hanseníase; a média de completude foi de 95,4% (≥ 90%; excelente) e da consistência, verificada através das inconsistências, foi de 2,2% (≤ 10%; excelente), porém, foram constatadas diferenças entre as regiões de saúde do estado, destacando-se as III e XV com os piores resultados; houve tendência de estabilidade na qualidade ao longo do período avaliado. Conclusão: Para fortalecer a vigilância da hanseníase, sugere-se melhorar a qualidade das notificações nas regiões de saúde de piores índices.
