EDUCAÇÃO EM SAÚDE SOBRE SEXUALIDADE NA ADOLESCÊNCIA: UMA REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA DA LITERATURA
Authors: MATIAS DO NASCIMENTO JULIO CESAR , MACKEVICIUS BERNARDES LUZANA , FAJERSZTAJN LAIS , SILVA SILVEIRA ORIVAL , MARTINS CONCEIÇÃO LOURDES
Published: June 2023

A sexualidade torna-se muito evidente nos adolescentes, por isso, foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura objetivando conhecer as características dos estudos e dos participantes em ações de educação em saúde sobre sexualidade na adolescência entre 2010-2016. A escola foi o principal lugar de intervenção e o Brasil o país com mais estudos. Nota-se escassez de informação sobre temas como IST/AIDS, gravidez, métodos contraceptivos e mudanças anatômicas e fisiológicas, percebe-se que ainda existem mitos e tabus sobre sexualidade. Há um distanciamento entre pais e filhos quando o assunto é sexualidade, a escola não desenvolve de forma eficaz o tema, a atenção básica em saúde possui baixa demanda de adolescentes e neste contexto o jovem tenta sanar suas dúvidas em fontes precárias. O machismo evidentemente faz com que garotos se sintam invulneráveis quando comparado às garotas que se colocam em submissão. A imagem corporal possui relevância, enquanto meninos buscam a modelação muscular, as meninas estão insatisfeitas com seu peso. A temática é bem aceita em ações de educação em saúde, provavelmente ligado a falta de informação e diálogo, por este motivo é necessário a criação do vínculo escola-família-UBS para ampliar o debate e criação de ações governamentais sólidas a respeito da educação em sexualidade.
UMA PANDEMIA DE IMAGENS
Authors: Tagé Matheus
Published: June 2023

A experiência da cobertura jornalística da crise da Covid-19 é um contexto interessante para discutir aspectos teóricos e práticos acerca das consequências e impactos socioculturais da imagem no jornalismo. Este artigo visa analisar estruturalmente essa questão, para tentar estabelecer algumas perspectivas que contemplem a protagonismo do fotojornalismo no contexto da pandemia. O trabalho a ser desenvolvido é a observação da dinâmica da relação entre a realidade e a dimensão do imaginário. Desenvolver um estudo a partir da experiência imagética e da capacidade da fotografia em criar um simulacro do mundo em quarentena. Observar a dialética entre forma e conteúdo das imagens que informam leitores - cada vez mais conectados, pelo fato de estarem enclausurados - sobre um mundo que já não é mais o mesmo. Mais do que nunca, a janela para a realidade é a fotografia nos jornais e sites jornalísticos do mundo inteiro.

A JUSTIÇA RESTAURATIVA E SUA APLICAÇÃO AOS CONFLITOS SOCIOAMBIENTAIS E FUNDIÁRIOS URBANOS
Authors: SANCHEZ GUIDUGLI GUSMÃO RENATA
Published: June 2023

A Justiça Restaurativa, cujo conceito ainda não está completamente fechado pelos doutrinadores, traz uma proposta de mudança de paradigmasque visa à modificação do conceito de justiça. Pensada inicialmente paraaplicação aos conflitos criminais, e visando ao atendimento das necessidades da parte mais invisibilizada dessas questões, a vítima, atualmente temsido difundida em outras searas diante de sua potência transformadora.Além de transformação de relacionamentos, cuida-se de valorizar e criaro sentido de pertencimento nos envolvidos nas questões conflituosas,quer sejam elas de natureza penal, socioambiental ou de quaisquer outras naturezas. Em verdade, nas questões socioambientais e fundiárias,um novo olhar para o pertencimento das pessoas ao ambiente em queestão inseridas é o grande desafio da Justiça Restaurativa, que compõe ummovimento social que busca instalar de modo concreto a Cultura de Paze os Direitos humanos em nossa sociedade. Uma das questões socioambientais mais prementes é a regularização fundiária urbana, disciplinadapela Lei n. 13.465/17, que se constitui num dos instrumentos de maiorrelevância para a reorganização de áreas inadequadamente ocupadas, viade regra periferias das cidades sem qualquer infraestrutura. Trata-se degarantir o direito à moradia digna àqueles que, por falta de uma políticahabitacional adequada e efetiva, não têm onde morar (TEODORO, 2021,p. 07). Como bem aponta Gilberto Passos de Freitas, no prefácio à obraRegularização Fundiária Urbana e Mediação:A regularização fundiária se constitui num processo queabrange aspectos jurídicos, urbanísticos, ambientais e sociais,tendo como objetivo legalizar a permanência daqueles que seencontravam nas áreas ocupadas e promover melhorias noambiente urbano, na qualidade de vida dos ocupantes e naerradicação da miséria, na inclusão social, maior segurançae uma vida mais digna para as pessoas (TEODORO, 2021,p. 07).E, assim, entende-se que nos conflitos socioambientais, geralmenteenvolvendo um elevado número de pessoas, órgãos municipais e atémesmo o Poder Judiciário, o diálogo com a comunidade envolvida objetiva conduzir o conflito com razoabilidade, dando aos ocupantes – vítimas da falta deestrutura urbana – a oportunidade de serem ouvidos, dialogando com o Poder Público para,juntos, chegarem a uma decisão para que a todos atenda visando à garantia da efetividade doprincípio da cidadania e contribuindo para uma sociedade melhor.

This study was held in Gaziantep University, School of Medicine, Department of Urology in the period of December 1992 through December 1996. Two group of patients have been included to the study; 30 prostate carcinoma and 30 benign prostate hyperplasia. Serum PSA levels werefound 10 times higher in prostate carcinoma group than BPH group. There was no statistically significant dijference between age and digital rectal examination finding with serum PSA levels of patients in both groups. Serum PSA levels and transrectal ultrasonography findings were comparedfor both group. No significant diference found between serum PSA levels and transrectal ultrasonography findings in BPH group. However, there has been statistically significant dijferences in prostate carcinoma group. When serum PSA levels and clinical stage with Gleason grade compared in prostate carcinoma group, statistically signifıcant difference was found. Although reserches are still continue to try to find the ideal test for diagnosing prostate cancer, serum PSA level is the most important parameter in early diagnosis. in this study we conclude that annual checking of serum PSA levels must be made for males over the age 50 and if it's more than 4 ng/ml, transrectal ultrasonography and biopsy must be peıformed.

Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty was performed 62 patients (52 female, 10 male, mean age: 32.6±9.6) whose echocardiography showed mitral stenosis and no severe valve calcification. The differences observed between the haemodynamic parameters before and after the valvuloplasty are; the mitral valve area increasedfrom J.J±{).2 cm2 to 2.1±{).J cm2, mean mitral gradient decreasedfrom 19.2±15.4 mmHg to 3.2±4.4 mmHg, mean left atrium pressure decreased from 25.3±15.5 mmHg to J0.3-±f5.5 mmHg and the mean pulmonary arterial pressure decreased from 35.0±12.4 mmHg to 23.0±8.2 mmHg. The changes in all parameters were statistically significant. Complications occured are asfollows; mild mitral regurgitation (1-2°/4) in 5 patients (8%), cerebral embolus in 1 patient (1.6%), left atrial rupture with cardiac tamponade in 2 patients (3.2%). One of these 2 cases was operated under urgent conditions and commisurotomy and drenage was pe,formed. The next case was treated by pericardiosynthesis. in one case valvuloplasty was not succesfull. The mean increase·in patients mitral valve area was 1 cm2• Mean mitral gradient, left atrium and pulmonary arterial pressure were signi.ficantly decreased. As result, PMBV is an effective treatment technique which is reliable, easy to pe,form with low complication rate in carefully selected mitral stenosis patients.

Evaluation of the distribution of visual field defects according to quadrants by computed perimetry in primary open angle glaucoma
Authors: Güngör Kıvanç , Bekir Necdet A.
Published: June 2023

in this study, our aim was to research early term changes of visual field in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) if there are any tendencies to localize for superior, inferior - half and quadrants of superior-temporal, superior-nasal, inferior-temporal and inferior-nasal.
We evaluated right eyes of 41 cases with primary open angle glaucoma which were 19 female of those and 22 male of those. Routine ophthalmic examinalion and automated perimetry was performed and determined with the G 1 program in the Octopus 500 EZ perimeter by the same person. The mean and standard deviations of'averaged mean defects"for superior, inferior - halt and quadrants of superior-temporal, nasal or inferior, temporal-nasal were compared in POAG cases. When we compared "averaged mean defects", the difference was statistically significant in visual fields of superior-half and superior-temporal quadrant (p<0.05).
We concluded that visual field defects in primary open angle glaucoma cases were localized in superior-half which probably shows the role of vascular factors in the ethiopathogenesis of glaucoma and determination of the tendencies for quadrants in visual fields need longer term studies.

Published: June 2023

The aim of this study was to investigate the morhologic and functional changes occurred in cardiac structures of hemodialysis patients with end stage renal disease (ESAD). Fourty-four patients with ESAD (25 female, 19 male, mean age 39±14 years) were underwent transthoracic echocardiography. Patients were divided into two groups; the patients with ESAD duration shorter than 24 months (Group 1, n=20) and the patients with ESAD duration longer than 24 months (Group II, n=24). No significant differences were present between the groups about age, blood pressure, blood urea, creatinin and other biochemical parameters. in 82% of the cases, cardiac morhologic changes were determined by two-dimensional echocardiography (lcy glass appearance in 79% of the cases, left ventricular hypertrophy in 75% of the cases, aortic valve calcification in 54% of the cases, pericardial effusion in 52% of the cases, mitral annular calcification in 27% of the cases). Pathologic diastolic flow pattern was determined in 72% of the cases by Doppler echocardiographic study. When the groups were compared, mitral annular calcification and aortic valve calcification determined more comrnon in Group II (p <0.05). in Doppler study, isovolumetric relaxation time was calculated lenger in Group II (p <0.05).
In conclusion, cardiac morphologic changes and pathologic diastolic flow patterns determined in most of the cases with ESAD. Among the echocardiographic findings, mitral annular calcification, aortic valve calcification and isovolumetric relaxation time were effected mainly from the duration of the disease.

A hospital-based serosurvey of !he prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) was conducted in Gaziantep province, Turkey. Two thousand and forty-five children were tested for HBV markers with commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kils. One-hundred and fifty-one of the 2045 children (7.3%) were found to be positive for HBsAg, 373 (18.2%) to anti-HBs. Significant differences were seen between the prevalence of HBsAg in males (4.5%) and females (2.8%). HBsAg and anti-HBs seropositivity were increased with the age in both sex. Among the 567 household members of 151 HBsAg positive children, prevalence of HBsAg and anti-HBs were 19% and 34.9% respectively. Perinatal transmission of HBV infection, high prevalence in preadolescent/ adolescent group and familial clustering of the infection should be laken into account for the dynamics of HBV infection in !his part of Turkey.

In this paper, the effect of various doses of misoprostol on prophylaxis of experimental stress gastritis in rats has been studied and compared to the effect of various doses of sucralfate. The study were conducted in 56 female Sprague-Dowley rats. 18 animals acted as controls: ten were not exposed stress and eight were exposed only to stress.1 00μg/kg dose of misoprostol has been given to 9 animals and exposed to stress and 200μg/kg dose of misoprostol has been given to 9 animals and exposed to stress. Sucralfate has been given to 20 animals and exposed to stress; ten recieved 200mg/kg dose and ten received 500mg/kg dose. At the end of the stress period, every animal has been sacrificed and its stomach removed and examined; ulcer score has been determined for each animal. Ulcer scores were decreased significantly in the groups which were given misoprostol, and sucralfate, in relation to the stress only group (p<0.05). There were no significant difference between misoprostol and sucralfate groups (p<0.05). There were also no significant difference between the effects of various doses of misoprostol or sucralfate (p<0.05).

Evaluation of Erythrocyte G6PD Activity Unit; It is Better Defined as a Function of RBC Count
Authors: Yılmaz Necat , Erbağcı Ayşe Binnur
Published: June 2023

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, one of the most common red celi abnormalities, is characterized by wide clinical, biochemical and molecular heterogeneity. in clinical laboratories erythrocyte ·G6PD activity is defined either as a function of hemoglobin (Hb) concentration or red blood celi (RBC) count and seldom hematocrit (Hct). These parameters are variable tor every individual and misinterpretation of the results cannot be avoided with reference interval establishment studies unless the best approach that define erythrocyte G6PD activity is selected. Hb concentration is frequently prone to the effects of genetic, physiological and environmental factors where G6PD activity should correlate with RBC count even when it is altered. in this study relations of the erythrocyte G6PD activity with RBC count, Hb concentration of the erythrocyte suspensions and RBC indices of 242 individuals were studied. Additionally, relations with platelet and white blood celi (WBC) counts were evaluated to determine possible interference. Erythrocyte G6PD activity was determined with kinetic spectrophotometric method according to the ICSH at 3o0 c. RBC, WBC, platelet counts, hemoglobin concentration of the erythrocyte suspensions and erythrocyte indices were determined with an automatic complete blood counter. Enzyme activity was correlated with RBC count (r: 0.53, p<0.001), there was no correlation with Hb (p>0.05). The negative correlation of the enzyme activity with MCV and MCH (r: -0.44 and r: -0.29, p<0.001 ), disappeared as a ratio of RBC count (p>0.05) and strengthened as a ratio of Hb concentration (r: -0.61 and r: -0.44, p<0.001 ). in this study a correlation of erythrocyte suspentions' platelet, leucocyte count and the enzyme activity as a ratio of Hb (r: 0.33 and r: 0.25, p<0.001) was observed. On the other hand enzyme activity as a ratio of RBC was only poorly correlated to WBC count (r: 0.15, p<0.01 ). Results of this study indicate that erythrocyte G6PD activity is related to RBC count and has several advantages over Hb in assessing G6PD status. it gives more reliable results in conditions that could affect erythrocyte morphology and Hb concentration.

Published: June 2023

Surgical therapy of nasal polyposis should be thought in a wide spectrum from a limited intranasal polypectomy to external frontoethmosphenoidectomy. In last years surgery of nasal polyposis had reached to a less invasive level with the developments in the era of diagnostic tools and endoscopic equipments. Although surgical therapy stili continues to play an important role in the management of this disorder, when it is combinated with medical treatment, very long remissions have been seen. Between 1996 and 1998, 36 patients were operated tor nasal polyposis in our clinic with endoscopic sinus surgery technique. In 36 nose, 69 cavity polyp existing areas and operations have been determined. Preoperative and postoperative symptoms have been evaluated. Primary sinus settlements were as follows; in uncinate proces-middle turbinate area %92, on bulla surface-hiatus semilunaris %75, in infundibulum %75, in frontal recess %36, in sinus turbinate % 55, inside of the bulla %58, in supra and retrobulber recess %48, in posterior etmoidal sinus %46, and on the middle turbinate %20. Fourteen cases (%39) had diffuse nasal polyposis. Most prominent symptoms in preoperative period were nasal obstruction (94), fullness- congestion (78), and headache (58); in postoperative period were nasal secretion (%44), fascial headache (%31), and fullness-congestion (27).

The aim of this study is to compare the haemo- dynamic effects, and possible complications of intra- thecal pethidine with intrathecal bupivacaine in transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) in benign prostatic hyperplasia. Forty patients in ASA il risk group were allocated randomly to one of two groups; in Group 1 (n=20) patients, spinal anaesthesia was applied by administration of intrathecal 12.5 mg bupivacaine, and in Group il (n::20) patients by 0.75 mg/kg 5 % pethidine. The time for sensorial and motor block was studied. Complications were noted. Duration of sensorial blockade was longer in bupivacaine group than in pethidine group (171 min, and 84. 7 min respectively). The time for completion of regression of block to fıfth lumbar dermatom (353.5 min, and 145.5 min. respectively) and the time for regression of all motor function (348.5 min, and 101.25 min respectively) was longer in bupivacaine group than pethidine group, which was statistically signifıcant (p<0.05). There was no statistically signifıcant difference in heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) between two groups. There was a decrease in HR and MAP within groups but was not statistically signifıcant. Respiratory depression was not seen in any patient, and oxygen saturation of arterial pulse did not decrease under 95%. Nausea was observed in 3 patients in bupivacaine group, and 5 patients in pethidine group. Ephedrine was needed in 2 patients in pethidine group. Pruritus was not seen in bupivacaine group, but in 3 patients in pethidine group. Midazolam, totally 2 mg. to each patient, was given to 3 patients in bupivacaine group, and 4 in pethidine group,. Atropin was given to 4 patients in bupivacaine group and 5 patients in pethidine group. Drowsiness was seen only in 1 patient in pethidine group. As a result, it is concluded that intrathecal pethidine can be used as bupivacaine in TURP operations, and this cheaper technique can be an alternative in allergic patients to loca! anaesthetics.

Published: June 2023

The purpose of this study is to compare clinical effects of the low-flow anaesthesia, a technique recently gained popularity, with the high-flow anaesthesia by using the volatil anaesthetic, enflurane. Sixty patients whose ages ranged from 20 to 53 years, were included in the study. There were 38 female and 22 male patients. The patients were randomly divided into two groups. Low-flow enflurane anaesthesia was used in 30 patients who constituted the first group, and included in the second group is the remaining 30 patients who were administered high- flow enflurane anaesthesia. Heart rate, systolic-diastolic and mean arterial pressures, body temperature, peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), tidal volume, respiratory rate, end tidal CO2, inspired oxygen, inspired N2O, inspired volatile anaesthetic concentrations, %vapo- riser/%inspired volatile anaesthetic concentration, and airway pressure of the patients were monitored and evaluated every five minute. Recovery time and early postanaesthetic complications of the groups were compared clinically. Hemodynamic parameters, SpO2, and body temperature of the groups were not significantly different (p>0.05). in conclusion low-flow anaesthesia is advan- tageous when compared to the conventional high-flow anaesthesia, and can be used routinely if the appro- priate monitorisation set-up exists.

Psoriasis is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory dermatosis with variable clinical courses. lts frequency varies in different populations according to geographical areas, races, and age groups. Determination of the true prevalence rate of psoriasis in general population is rather difficult and is thought to constitute 1-3% of all dermatoses. The frequency of psoriasis has been investigated in various regions of our country, but no epidemiologic study on psoriasis has been done previously in Gaziantep province. Our aim was to find the frequency of psoriasis among skin diseases and to investigate other epidemiologic features of the patients with psoriasis. We studied retrospectively the frequency of psoriasis in 39087 patients that had referred to our clinic between 1990 and 1999, and the distribution of cases in age groups, gender, and seasons. Disease types and treatment modalities were also recorded. Psoriasis was diagnosed in 1105 patients, giving a frequency rate of 2.82%. Of those, 545 were women (49.32%) and 560 were men (50.68%) ( p>0.05). Mean age (± SD) of the cases was 30.66±18.32. Twenty-two per cent of cases (n: 244) was in the third decade, and 20.54% (n: 227) in the second decade. Thirty-five percent of the cases had been referred during the winter months, and 25.88% in spring; the rates were found to be significantly higher than those in !he other seasons (p<0.0001, and p<0.01, respectively). The most commonly seen psoriasis type was vulgar (77.1%) followed by guttate 6.78 %, pustular (2.44%), erythrodermic (0.81%) and arthropatic (0.54%). Psoriasis was restricted only to palms and soles in 5.06%, to scalp in 4.52%, to flexural areas in % 1.62, and to nails in 1.08% of the cases. Topical therapies had been used in 86.24%, UVB in 6.87%, UVA and RePUVA in 4.07%, methotrexate in 0.63% of the patients. Results are discussed in comparison with the literature data.

Pentoxifylline (Ptx) basically decreases necessity of tissue energy via inhibiting 5' Nucleotidase. it alsa decreases celi damage by it's another effect as inhibition of polimorpho nuclear leukocyte (PNL) activation and stabilization of endothelium. The patients to whom open heart surgery was performed divided into two groups. We added Ptx (500 mg/lt) in the prime solution in the study group (n=15) and the usually used prime solution was used in control group (n=10). Malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were studied in the blood that was sampled from the left atrium before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in the both groups. We also examined bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) that was sampled after CPB in the both groups. Wilcoxon test was used to statistical evaluation. in the study group, we fınd that MDA levels of study group was lower than control group and SOD levels of study group higher than control group. it was statistically signifıcant (p<0.05). At microscopic examination, amount of PNL which was in the BAL of control group were much more higher than study group. We think that Ptx may avoid ischemiareperfusion and reexpansion injury on the lung during CPB.
