Objetivo: verificar fatores associados a incontinência urinária em mulheres por tipo e gravidade.Metodologia: estudo transversal, realizado de novembro de 2018 a abril de 2019, com 30 mulheres em um hospital escola de Pernambuco. Foi utilizado o instrumento Gaudenz-Fragebogen para identificar os tipos de incontinência e o Incontinence Severity Index para classificar a gravidade da perda urinária. Utilizou-se o teste Exato de Fisher para analisar variáveis qualitativas e t-Student para variáveis racionais.Resultados: incontinência urinária de esforço foi o tipo mais frequente (66,7%), na forma moderada (43,3%) e esteve associada a baixa escolaridade (p<0,001), índice de massa corporal de 28,6 (p=0,043), circunferência abdominal de 103,4 (p<0,001), diabetes (p<0,001), número de partos superior a 4 (p=0,046), cirurgia ginecológica (p=0,023) e falta de atividade física (p=0,001).Considerações Finais: a identificação do tipo, da gravidade e dos principais fatores de risco modificáveis poderá subsidiar intervenções preventivas e curativas mais eficientes e efetivas.
Prostatic Adenocarcinoma (PA) and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) have their etiology not fully understood mainly in glycidic aspects. Glycan changes are associated with cell alterations where glycosylation is carried out by glycosyltransferases, such as fucosyltransferases (FUTs). These enzymes catalyze the insertion of L-fucose residues in a variety of glycan structures often in the final stage of glycosylation. The present study aimed to investigate the expression of FUT3 and FUT6 in PA and BPH as well as to correlate immunostaining of these transferases with PA clinic-histopathologic data. The FUT3 and FUT6 expressions were evaluated by immunohistochemistry in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded biopsies of PA (n=40) and BPH (n=40). FUT3 and FUT6 showed a high expression in both prostatic diseases, especially FUT6. FUT6 was more immunoexpressed in PA cases than the FUT3 (p<0.0001) as well as in BPH cases but in a not significant way (p=0.0661). Besides, FUT3 was more expressed in BHP lesion than in PA cases (p<0.0001). Our study presented a new data about FUT3 and FUT6 expression in PA and BPH, revealing high FUT6 expression in both lesions and FUT3 overexpression in BHP in relation to PA, proposing that this enzyme could be a promising biomarker for benign prostate alterations.
Objetivo: Analisar o perfil epidemiológico do escorpionismo em crianças, no Estado de Pernambuco, nos anos de 2015 a 2019. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo ecológico, de caráter exploratório, cujo dados foram extraídos do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (fichas de notificação preenchidas no período de 2015 a 2019). A análise dos dados foi realizada por meio do Statistical Package for the Social Sciences versão 20.0. Resultados: Entre 2015 e 2019 foram registrados 17.825 acidentes com escorpiões em crianças de até 14 anos no Estado de Pernambuco. A faixa etária mais acometida foi a de 5 a 9 anos (32,70%). Crianças de 0 a 4 anos de idade apresentaram duas vezes mais chances de apresentar quadro clínico grave (p: <0,001; OR: 2,353; IC95%:1,650 – 4,782). Conclusão: Houve uma elevada taxa de agravos no período analisado, especialmente em crianças em início de vida escolar, suscitando medidas de prevenção mais eficazes.
The work process by nurses in the emergency sector is comprised of two complementary dimensions, managing and caring. Therefore, the aim of this study was Know the perception of patients to the support of the nursing assistance in Emergency sector. This is a field research, exploratory, descriptive qualitative approach. The survey was conducted in Dr. Luiz Milton Arêa Leão Hospital -Satélite, located in the city of Teresina -PI, Brazil, which caters exclusively by the Unified Health System, and reference in its coverage area. We interviewed thirteen (13) patients who remained in observation in the emergency sector in that hospital. For this study was used as a criterion for inclusion of service users who entered the emergency sector in the period March-April 2014 and who remained in the sector at the time of the interview. A pilot test was conducted with the instrument to validate and suitability for the target audience, which is excluded from the sample. Ethical aspects were respected, as provided for in Resolution 466/2012 of the National Health Council, Brazil (2013). In this sense, we observed through the reports of the participants carrying out a qualified nursing care, where it identified a good conduct of professionals to provide the necessary assistance. A nursing care and systematic termination during the stay of patients in hospital was evidenced. It is perceived that there is a satisfaction from patients and the care of the nursing team, which is performed through actions inherent to these professionals, such as goodwill, the act of providing a welcoming atmosphere, with technical scientific background, and ability in dealing with conflict situations and ethical.
