title: Behavioral therapy in the treatment of urinary incontinence: quality of life and severity

description: Abstract Introduction: Behavioral therapy (BT) is an association of techniques that aim to minimize or abolish urinary symptoms, including urinary incontinence (UI), through education about the health condition, changes in lifestyle and nutritional habits, and bladder training. Objective: To analyze whether there is a change in the quality of life and severity of UI after group behavioral therapy in women with UI. Methods: Prospective observational study conducted in a pelvic physical therapy public service. Women with UI of any etiology, over 18 years of age, who completed a protocol of four weekly group BT meetings as the first treatment option for UI were included. Outcomes (impact of UI on QoL and classification of UI severity) were assessed before, immediately after, and one month after BT using the King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) and the Incontinence Severity Index (ISI). Results: Sample of 146 participants. A reduction in the impact of UI on QoL was observed in the KHQ domains: impact of UI, physical limitations, personal relationships, emotions, general health perception (p &lt; 0.05) immediately after BT. After one month, there was a reduction in the UI impact domains, daily activity limitations, physical limitations, general health perception, emotions, and sleep (p &lt; 0.05). In addition, there was a reduction in the classification of UI severity assessed by the ISI (p &lt; 0.001). Conclusion: There was an improvement in QoL and a decrease in UI severity in women with UI who completed a BT group as the first treatment option.

title: The challenge of Brazilian federalism in the basic sanitation

description: Abstract The Article 23 of the Federal Constitution establishes the competences shared by the three federated entities, among which is sanitation, a sector that constitutes a challenge to make deliveries, for different reasons. In accordance with Law No. 11,445/2007, sanitation is structured based on a set of services associated with infrastructure and operating facilities. Therefore, it is a service complex that integrates households with collective networks, which have high maintenance costs. At the federal level, sanitation actions are currently dispersed in a set of institutions that operate in different spatial areas, according to specific criteria and mandates. In basic sanitation, the financial autonomy and technical capacity of the municipalities are still insufficient to cooperate with the central government, which makes them technically and financially dependent on the Union. Thus, the purpose of this article is to analyze the complex sanitation agreement, at a federal accountability, and to indicate what reflections this architecture has, especially for the municipalities. For this, a literature review was carried out, as well as official documents and databases of the agencies responsible for the sector, within the scope of the Federal Government, and, in addition, the legislation that regulates basic sanitation was analyzed. This set of resources made possible some findings: a) persistence of a pattern of inequality that occurs vertically, compared to the largest urban centers; b) perpetuation of the sentence by the inspection and control agencies, in view of the technical and institutional weakness, particulary in the smaller cities; c) local managers are refractory to the construction of such systems in view of their cost, which makes them almost incompatible with the finances of the smallest municipalities. These are some aspects that are found in the federal disposition of the sanitation sector, which implies that a considerable part of the country’s population does not have access to this service, especially in the smaller cities.

title: Evidence from Cochrane systematic reviews on pharmacological treatment compared to placebo for panic disorder

description: ABSTRACT. Panic disorder is an anxiety condition characterized by recurrent and unexpected panic attacks. The comparison between active treatment and placebo is essential to analyze an intervention’s efficacy and safety. It is important to identify and summarize the studies with higher evidence to assist health professionals and public policy managers in clinical decision-making. Objective: The aim of this study was to identify and summarize all Cochrane systematic reviews (SRs) that compared the efficacy and safety of any drug treatment compared to placebo for panic disorder patients. Methods: SRs published in the Cochrane Library were included without date restriction. All outcomes presented were analyzed. The methodological quality of the SRs was evaluated using the AMSTAR-2 tool. Results: We included three Cochrane SRs of high methodological quality on the effects of antidepressants, benzodiazepines, and azapirones for panic disorder. All medications showed benefits in response to treatment, symptom improvement, and reduced panic attacks. Dropouts were lower with tricyclic antidepressants and benzodiazepines and higher with azapirones. The occurrence of adverse events was higher for drug groups. Conclusions: Very low to moderate certainty evidence (GRADE) showed that antidepressants and benzodiazepines seem to improve clinical symptoms in individuals with short-term panic disorder compared to placebo. In addition, the use of azapirones seems to have greater adherence by patients than placebo. However, there is insufficient evidence to support its clinical efficacy.

title: Effects of belly dancing intervention on sexual function and body image in breast cancer patients undergoing hormone therapy - randomized clinical trial

description: Abstract Introduction: Breast cancer is a public health problem because of its high incidence. Its often-mutilating treatment can cause serious problems with regard to body image and sexual function in these women. Belly dancing is a possible option to improve the femininity of these women. Objective: The aim of this two-arm randomized study was to determine the effect of practicing belly dancing on sexual function and body image in breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant hormone therapy in Santa Catarina, Brazil. Methods: The study randomized 24 women (60 ± 10.4 years old) diagnosed with breast cancer, 11 in the intervention group (IG) and 13 in the control group (CG). A questionnaire was used to evaluate personal and clinical characteristics, body image (BIBCQ), and sexual function (FSFI). Results: On the body image scale, in the domains of body stigma (p = 0.002) and body concerns (p = 0.017), significant intergroup differences were found, with better body image for the IG in the post-intervention period when compared to the CG. In sexual function, no significant differences were found. Conclusion: Belly dancing as physical exercise helps improve body image in patients with breast cancer undergoing adjuvant treatment with hormone therapy.

title: Illiteracy of the Brazilian population in Giorgio Mortara’s analyses of the 1940 census

description: Abstract This article presents analyses by Giorgio Mortara on the information from the Brazilian population census carried out in 1940 referring specifically to illiteracy in the Federal District (Rio de Janeiro) and in the municipality of São Paulo. Mortara was born in Italy, where he graduated and established himself as a recognized statistician, and in 1939 moved to Brazil, where he significantly contributed to the constitution of the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) and to Brazilian demographic studies. Several of his studies are devoted to the analysis of results of the Brazilian census surveys and are widely cited and well known in the country. This article, however, focuses on some analyses elaborated by the author regarding illiteracy, which were published in the Revista Brasileira de Estudos Pedagógicos in 1945 and are rarely mentioned in the literature on the subject. In these studies, the author identifies aspects and trends that had not yet become part of the analytical repertoire in the period. This is the case of the observation of more pronounced literacy in younger generations, the lower illiteracy rate trend among girls and the index differences regarding the color category.

title: Michael White: theoretical references of the Narrative Practice

description: Abstract Post-modernity, narrative turn, constructivist and constructionist paradigms have opened various perspectives for the psychotherapeutic intervention. This study will highlight the theoretical knowledge that reinforces the Narrative Practice produced by David Epston and Michael White, with emphasis on the contribution of Michael White, an author who plans narrative co-construction between therapist and person in therapy. The Narrative Pratice is characterized for desconstruction of the saturated story, the narrative reconstruction and self reautoring through favorite stories basing on the experience of the person in therapy. The survey objective was to recognize, integrate and organize the diverse information dispersed throughout the Narrative Practice literature. It was performed a literature review emphasizing postmodernity characterization and Michael White’s dialogue with Bruner, Bateson, Foucault, Vygotsky, and Derrida. The method used was the bibliographic survey of books, articles, dissertations, and theses. The theoretical study may favor the therapist to create contexts conducive to change, which may contribute to the psychotherapeutic process.

title: Construction and validation of a corruption perception scale at the citizen level

description: Abstract The study described the creation and validation of the Corruption Perception Scale (CPS), which assesses how citizens perceive corruption. In a qualitative step, the instrument was evaluated by experts, followed by a pre-test. In the quantitative step, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was performed, totaling a sample of 1,075 cases. Finally, a methodology for the application of CPS was suggested. The final structure of the measure was composed of five dimensions at the individual level (knowledge, behavior, reflexes, control, and attitude), which position the citizen as the protagonist in the analysis of the phenomenon.

title: IS THE ANATOMICAL SEQUENCE OF GASTRIC AND BILIARY ANASTOMOSIS IN THE PANCREATODUODENECTOMY RECONSTRUCTION THE CAUSE OF AN INCREASE IN THE INCIDENCE OF CHOLANGITIS? A TECHNICAL VARIANT PRESENTATION AND INITIAL RESULTS

description: ABSTRACT - BACKGROUND: Several methods have been proposed for the reconstruction of digestive transit after pancreatoduodenectomy. Biliary anastomosis positioned before gastric anastomosis helps reduce postoperative reflux and cholangitis. AIMS: The objective of this study was to present the anatomical sequence of gastric and biliary continuity after pancreatoduodenectomy in patients with pancreatic tumor and to evaluate the short- and long-term results in an initial series of cases. METHODS: Two techniques were used: one with Roux-en-Y reconstruction and pancreaticojejunostomy and the other with a single jejunal loop and pancreatogastroanastomosis. In both the cases, the gastric anastomosis was placed performed before the biliary one. An analysis of demographic data, Wirsung’s duct and common bile duct dilatation, the use of percutaneous drainage, and postoperative complications was carried out. RESULTS: A total of seven patients (four men and three women), with a mean age of 62 years, underwent surgery. All cases had Wirsung’s duct and common bile duct dilatation. A percutaneous external biliary drainage was performed in four patients. There were three postoperative complications: one related to delayed gastric emptying and two related to wound infections. During a median follow-up of 12 months, no episode of cholangitis was recorded. CONCLUSIONS: Elevated percentages of cholangitis are reported in different reconstructions after pancreatoduodenectomy, and it is difficult to conclude reflux as the main etiology. The proposed gastric and biliary reconstructions show conforming results, facilitating posterior endoscopic access. Late follow-up and large number of cases may help assess whether the etiology of postoperative cholangitis is reflux or other factors unrelated to the order of the anastomoses.
