title: Prevalence of the Settlement of Medical Residences in the State of Tocantins in the Period 2013-2017

description: Abstract: Introduction: The accomplishment of medical residency (MR) is a type of qualification considered to be the “gold standard” for medical specialization. Understanding whether there is actually greater professional settlement or not stimulated by MR and which factors hinder or contribute to the physician’s permanence in that place, are important information for the structuring of medical residency and health system programs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of settlement of medical residents who finished the residency training in the state of Tocantins, after the implementation of medical residency programs in the period from 2013 to 2017. Method: This is an observational quantitative research, with a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical design, using the telematic technique and its own questionnaire, carried out with 44 medical residents that finished the medical residency program in the state of Tocantins. The project was reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT) under Opinion number 2.292.540. Results: The prevalence of settlement was 65.9% of physicians in the state of Tocantins. Most residents were females (59.1%), with a mean age of 30.8 ± 3.1 years, income between 10 and 20 minimum wages (55.8%) and worked during their residency training (84.1%). The specialties that showed the highest settlement rates were general surgery and clinical medicine, and among these, the majority works for the private and state health networks. The main reason for not settling in Tocantins was to attend another residency or subspecialty program in another state (64.7%). Conclusion: The prevalence of medical residents that finished the residency and settled in Tocantins during the analyzed period can be considered high (65.9%). The fact that most of these individuals are young and female and the reason for not settling in the state are important indicators to be analyzed together with the settlement process and the offering of positions in the specialties available in Tocantins. The results of the study indicated a favorable and strategic perspective of the Medical Residency Programs (MRP) in the medical settlement in Tocantins, which cannot be generalized to the reality of such an unequal health system in the country. A larger public investment in the structuring of health network services is necessary, especially in the municipal network, in the organization of support and socioeconomic development of cities.

title: Medical Humanities and their Place in the Curriculum: Opinions of Cobem/2017 Participants

description: Abstract: There is a growing perception that medical training with an exclusive focus on biological disciplines is insufficient for the understanding of the complexity and individuality of human illness. We start from the assumption that medical humanities make an important contribution to medical education, through references to expanded understanding of the health-disease process and to the organization of health care, that is, directed at humanization. This work sought to assess the perceptions of a group of students, teachers and coordinators of a medical course on the integration of the disciplines of medical humanities in the curricula of medical courses. The descriptive, quantitative and cross-sectional research consisted of the application of a structured questionnaire to a group of participants of the 55th Brazilian Congress of Medical Education (COBEM, Porto Alegre, RS, October/2017), considered to be a convenience sample. The event participants were approached during the intervals of the conferences and invited to answer a questionnaire that sought opinions on the insertion and the integration of the disciplines of the human sciences into the curricula of the medical courses. The questionnaire also contained the sample’s characterization of the region of origin, the legal scope of the institution (private, public or confessional) and the role of the respondent (teacher, student or coordinator). A total of 234 (two hundred and thirty-four) individuals answered the questionnaires, which were submitted to descriptive statistical analysis. The analysis showed that the medical humanities are perceived as important for the medical formation, but there is no consensus about their being crucial for the acquisition of humanistic skills. There are interdisciplinary curricular experiences; however, not all of them perceive the subjects of humanities at different times in the medical curriculum or articulated with other disciplines. While interdisciplinary experiences are perceived more easily, the cross-sectional articulation of humanistic topics appears to a lesser degree. According to the answers, the disciplines remain concentrated only in the initial periods; however, the perception of sufficiency discloses quite divided opinions. There is also a slight difference in opinion about the articulation of the humanities in the basic and advanced cycles. The lower perception of integration of the humanities appears in practices that integrate teaching-service-community.

title: Comparison between curettage adenoidectomy and endoscopic-assisted microdebrider adenoidectomy in terms of Eustachian tube dysfunction

description: Abstract Introduction Adenoidectomy can be performed with many ways, including curettage and microdebrider endoscopic-assisted adenoidectomy. Those two techniques have advantages and disadvantages. Objective The objective of this study is to research the effects of curettage adenoidectomy and endoscopic-assisted microdebrider adenoidectomy on the tympanum pressures in pediatric patients with adenoid hypertrophy without otitis media with effusion. Methods This prospective descriptive study was performed with 65 patients who had a normal tympanic membrane and normal tympanogram and then underwent adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy for adenoid and tonsil hypertrophy. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups: curettage adenoidectomy group and endoscopic microdebrider-assisted adenoidectomy group. They underwent tympanometry, and the preoperative as well as 1st and 7th day postoperative values of the tympanum pressures were compared within and among the groups. Results There were 32 patients in the curettage adenoidectomy group and 33 patients in the microdebrider adenoidectomy group. Statistically significant differences were observed in the median tympanum pressure on the preoperative and 1st and 7th postoperative days for both the left and right ears with curettage adenoidectomy (p &lt; 0.001, p &lt; 0.001). This difference occurred on the 1st postoperative day, and the value returned to normal on the 7th day. There was no significant difference in the median tympanum pressure on the preoperative and 1st and 7th postoperative days for both the left and right ears in the microdebrider adenoidectomy group (p = 0.376, p = 0.128). Conclusion Postoperative Eustachian tube dysfunction is seen less often with the endoscopic-assisted microdebrider adenoidectomy technique than with the conventional adenoidectomy technique.

title: Open dialogue: critical points of implementation in psychotic crisis care

description: Abstract This study sought to analyze the critical points to implement the Open Dialogue approach in psychotic crisis care. This qualitative study was based on the analysis of an open-ended questionnaire developed by mental health professionals who participated in a seminar on the subject conducted by Jaakko Seikkula in 2015, in Italy. Eighty-three self-administered questionnaires were analyzed to detect the participants’ sociodemographic profile and their perception of the critical points of the implementation of Open Dialogue. The results were organized according to the seven principles of the approach and analyzed according to Weber’s Ideal Type into two Ideal Types: organizational and cultural criticalities. In the participants’ perception, the implementation in Italy of this therapeutic modality does not seem obstacle-free. The principles of greatest concern among nurses and physicians were immediate help, social networking, flexibility, and mobility. This paper thus reflected on the impasses regarding the need for a reframing in the conceptions, organizations, knowledge and practices of community mental health care in the context of deinstitutionalization.

title: Oncological and functional outcomes of open versus laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in T1b tumors: A single-center analysis

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the oncological and functional results of open partial nephrectomy (OPN) and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) at the T1b clinical stage, which constitutes 25% of renal cell carcinomas (RCC) at diagnosis. Materials and Methods: The characteristics of 63 patients with stage T1b solitary tumor who underwent OPN (41) or LPN (22) were compared. The survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to determine the factors affecting disease-free survival. Potential predictive factors, which might affect the postoperative glomerular filtration rate (GFR), were evaluated using multivariate linear regression analysis. Results: No differences were observed between OPN and LPN groups regarding patient and tumor characteristics. Although the warm ischemia time, intraoperative estimated blood loss, and operation duration were higher in the LPN group, no differences were noted between the two techniques regarding complication rates (p&lt;0.001, p=0.023, p≤0.001, and p=0.190, respectively). The median hospitalization time was shorter in the LPN group than that in the OPN group (4 and 5 days, respectively), with less severe complications. No intergroup differences were observed regarding cancer-specific survival (CSS), disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS). The evaluation of the factors affecting DFS showed that age was an effective parameter (RR = 1.112, 95% CI: 1.010–8.254), but the surgical technique was not. Conclusion: No differences were observed between OPN and LPN techniques between oncological and functional outcomes in patients with clinical stage T1b RCC.

title: In the waiting room of the terreiro: an investigation with Umbanda adepts with health complaints

description: Abstract Health complaints are an important part of the religious demands of various beliefs, especially Umbanda in Brazil. This ethnopsychological study analyzes how Umbanda adepts with health complaints perceive the health-disease process. A total of 20 Umbanda practitioners from two terreiros located in a medium-sized municipality in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, were selected as participants. The corpus was constituted by semi-structured interviews transcribed and organized according to the thematic analysis. Ambivalence was observed in the process of understanding the illness and the therapeutic trajectories embedded in the reports of these followers,. From such medical explanations related to the physical body and medicine also emerge spiritual narratives related to the inner world and to mental health. Despite referencing the work of incorporating entities, criticism is also given to the way health professionals distance themselves from religiosity/spirituality, both their own and that of the patient. Regardless of such ambivalence, these adepts express an integrated notion of health when they seek care in the terreiro, mixing formal and scientific elements with religious expressions, wherein Umbanda is a safe space for this diversity. This movement reaffirms Umbanda as a diverse space in which different kinds of reasoning can live.

title: Cognitive impairment in chronic migraine: a cross-sectional study in a clinic-based sample

description: Abstract Cognitive impairment has been described in all phases of a migraine attack and interictally. However, the prevalence and phenotype of such impairment in chronic migraine (CM) have not yet been studied. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate both the prevalence of the objective cognitive deficit in patients with CM and the factors underlying its etiology. Methods: 144 patients with CM and 44 age-matched patients with low-frequency episodic migraine (EM) (a maximum of 4 headache days per month) participated in this study. Neuropsychiatric characteristics were measured with the HADS Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Cognitive function was assessed with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT), and the Perceived Deficits Questionnaire (PDQ-20). Results: Compared to EM, CM subjects demonstrated higher subjective and objective cognitive impairment across all tests. CM patients had 4 times higher odds of achieving a RAVLT score in the lower quartile range compared to EM (Odds Ratio [OR] 3.8; 95% confidence interval [95%CI] 1.5‒9.6; р=0.005). In the MoCA, CM patients demonstrated the most striking impairment in memory/delayed recall (65.3%), attention (46.5%), abstraction (30.6%), and language (27.1%). Chronic headache and level of education, but not gender, depression or anxiety, were independent predictors of cognitive impairment. Conclusions: Cognitive impairment is prevalent in the CM population during their mildest possible pain and may be caused by a central sensitization. Timely preventive treatment of EM is warranted.
