title: Effects of pompage associated with aerobic exercises on pain, fatigue, and sleep quality in female patients with fibromyalgia: a pilot study

description: ABSTRACT Aiming at evaluating the effects of pompage as a complementary therapy to aerobic exercises and stretching on pain, fatigue, and sleep quality in women with fibromyalgia, 23 women with this diagnosis were allocated randomly in the groups: Experimental (EG, n = 13) and Control (CG, n = 10). Subsequently, they were assessed using McGill Pain Questionnaire, Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire, and Sleep Inventory. For 12 weeks, twice a week, the EG made pompage, aerobic exercises, and stretching, while the CG only aerobic exercises and stretching. Evaluation was repeated after 6 and 12 weeks. We had sample losses totaling 15 individuals (EG, n=7/CG, n=8). We used ANOVA for repeated measurements in the statistical analysis, followed by the T test for independent samples with significant differences (p≤0.05). There was a significant reduction of McGill Pain Questionnaire joint score after 12 weeks in the EG compared with CG. There were not significant changes in other aspects evaluated for pain, fatigue and sleep quality. Therefore, we suggest that pompage as a complementary therapy to aerobic exercises and stretching did not have beneficial effects on women with fibromyalgia, since there was improvement in only one aspect of the pain evaluated. Studies with larger samples are necessary for a more consistent analysis of the results investigated.

title: Humanization of physical therapy in an Intensive Care Unit for adults: a cross-sectional study

description: ABSTRACT To promote quality of life to intensive care unit (ICU) patients, treatments need and must be humanized, in that we are committed to preventing, caring, protecting, and recovering; that is, to promote health. Physical therapists play a fundamental role in the rehabilitation of ICU patients. Not only must they strive for technical quality but also for quality in the relationships involving the care they provide, in order to be viewed as reliable by patients and to be aware of their needs. The aim of this study was to verify whether the physical therapy care in an intensive care unit is conducted in a humanized way. This is a cross-sectional cohort study that used patient interviews via evaluation questionnaires and included 60 subjects over 18 years of age which had been discharged from the adult ICU. The interviewed patients approved the procedures carried out by the physical therapists and stressed their concern while conducting these procedures in way to keep their patients from experiencing discomfort. They were also satisfied with the treatment dimensions, with dignity, communication, reliability, interpersonal aspects, and receptivity reaching 100% of positive answers; assurance reaching 98.3%; empathy, 96.7%; and autonomy and effectiveness aspects, 95% of answers favoring humanization. The patients were shown to be satisfied, in the various aspects analyzed, with the care provided by the physical therapists, who must strive to carry out humanized professional practices. WE concluded that the physical therapy treatments the ICU patients received were characterized as humanized by them. The physical therapists demonstrated their concern with ethics, and this enabled good quality care.

title: Influence of physiotherapeutic practice in mechanical ventilation process of patients admitted to the ICU overnight after non-complicated cardiac surgery

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to verify the influence of physical therapists on the mechanical ventilation process of patients who underwent non-complicated cardiac surgery admitted to the Cardiac ICU overnight. Documentary and retrospective study with adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery admitted to the ICU overnight from November 2010 to October 2011 with physiotherapeutic care for 12 hours (n=51), and from November 2011 to October 2012 with physiotherapeutic care for 24 hours (n=43), at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Maranhão. For statistical analysis, we used Chi-square, Student's t, and G tests; data were considered statistically significant when p&lt;0.05. The duration of the mechanical ventilation was lower when physiotherapeutic care occurred at night (6.7±3.7 h vs. 8.7±3.1 h, p=0.02). In this same period, the number of patients extubated in less than 6 hours was also significantly higher (53.4% vs. 27.4%, p=0.0182), as well as the number of scheduled extubations (79% vs. 43.1%, p=0.009). The physiotherapeutic practice influenced the mechanical ventilation process of patients who underwent non-complicated cardiac surgery admitted to the ICU overnight, reducing the time of mechanical ventilation and increasing the number of extubations in less than 6 hours, as well as the number of extubations scheduled during the night.

title: Family Health Support Center: Impact on Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions

description: ABSTRACT The Family Health Strategy is the preferred admittance of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) and relies on Family Health Support Centers (FHSC) to reduce referrals to secondary care, as it seeks to reduce Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions (ACSC). This study analyzed the growth of FHSC and its impact on the number of ACSC. This is an exploratory, descriptive and quantitative study, conducted between 1998 and 2016, based on the database of the Department of Primary Care of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). An expansion of the family health teams all over Brazil was identified: 40,490 teams were established in 5,483 municipalities, covering 64.2% of the population. The number of FHSC at the Northeast and the population coverage was higher in relation to other regions. The highest decrease of ACSC occurred in the Midwest, which has a minor number of FHSC established. The Northeast had the highest number and coverage of FHSC; however, a proportional reduction of ACSC did not happen. The largest number or FHSC coverage has still not influenced the reduction rate of ACSC in the most vulnerable populations within the context of social determinants.

title: Heat transfer by three types of hot pack and its implication on the flexibility of the lower back: a randomized, controlled trial

description: ABSTRACT The use of hot pack is a common superficial thermotherapy strategy and one of its benefits is the increase of muscle flexibility. However, there is a lack of information about the effects of the heat pack alone, without being used in association with other therapeutic interventions, in the flexibility of the lumbar region. The aim of this study was to compare the effects generated by the application of three different pack on the flexibility of the lower backs of healthy students. Three sessions of 15 minutes of superficial heat through a hot pack (moist heat pack-MHP, seed pack-SP or gel pack-GP) were applied to the lower back. Pack and lower back temperatures and erythema were registered every 5 minutes. A Schober test was performed before the first session and after the third session. After 15 minutes of treatment, pack temperature was higher in the SP group. At the same time, lumbar temperature was lower in the GP group. The heat treatment also increased erythema in the lower back for all three groups. There was a significant increase in intragroup flexibility as assessed by the Schober Test for all groups. There are significant differences in the effect generated between the three types of pack on the flexibility of the lower back. The MHP was able to transfer more heat to the lumbar area and provided a more pronounced increase in the flexibility of lower back tissues.

title: Cardiorespiratory adjustments during the accentuation of respiratory sinus arrhythmia: influence from time of maneuver on minute volume, fraction of expired CO 2 , and heart rate variability

description: ABSTRACT Heart rate (HR) fluctuate during the respiratory cycle. This phenomenon is known as respiratory sinus arrhythmia. The deep breathing test is to keep a paced breathing in six breathing per minute and I:E relationship 1:1. The purpose of this study is to access minute volume, expired fraction of carbon dioxide (EFCO2) and autonomic control of heart rate during deep breathing test longer than 90 seconds. Sixteen young healthy male (18 - 25 years old) were assessed. The subjects were instructed to perform inspirations and expirations with duration of 10 seconds per cycle, I:E = 1:1, and consequently respiratory rate of 6 cycles per minute, for about four minutes with one minute after and before, totaling six minutes. HR was recorded beat-to-beat using a cardio frequencimeter; MV and EFCO2 was measured and recorded using a mobile ergoespirometer. To analyse statistics differences, ANOVA one way (Tuckey post-hoc) and Kruskall Wallis (Dunn post-hoc) were used (p&lt;0.05). When deep breathing test in course, EFCO2, MV and time domain heart rate variability shows no statistics difference over time. To perform deep breathing test in young healthy male, longer than 90 seconds, can be safety, without risks of hypocapnia and no interference from EFCO2 changes in time domain heart rate variability analysis of M-RSA.

title: Influence of body mass index on the frequency of lymphedema and other complications after surgery for breast cancer

description: ABSTRACT Objective: this study assessed the influence of pre-operative body mass index (BMI) has upon lymphedema, scar tissue adhesion, pain, and heaviness in the upper limb at two years after surgery for breast cancer. Methods: retrospective analysis of 631 medical records of women who underwent surgery for breast cancer and were referred to the Physiotherapy Program at Prof. Dr. José Aristodemo Pinotti Women's Hospital of the Center for Integral Women's Health Care, CAISM/UNICAMP between January 2006 and December 2007. Results: mean age of women was 56.5 years (±13.7 years) and the most part (55%) were overweight or obese, surgical stages II and III were present in 63% of women studied. Radical mastectomy was the most frequent surgery (54.4%), followed by quadrantectomy (32.1%). In the first year after surgery, there was no significant association between BMI categories and incidence of scar tissue adhesion, pain, heaviness and lymphedema. In the second year, overweight and obese women had higher rates of heaviness in the upper limb and lymphedema. For lymphedema, there was a significant difference among BMI categories (p=0.0268). Obese women are 3.6 times more likely to develop lymphedema in the second year after surgery (odds ratio 3.61 95% CI 1.36 to 9.41). Conclusion: BMI ≥25kg/m2 prior to treatment for breast cancer can be considered a risk factor for developing lymphedema in the two years after surgery. There was no association between BMI and the development of other complications.

title: Success rate of preschool and school children with/without respiratory symptoms in pulmonary function tests

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the success rate of preschool and school children with/without respiratory symptoms in pulmonary function tests. Children and adolescents, aged 4 to 12 years, with/without respiratory symptoms based on the questionnaire of respiratory diseases were included. Participants were recruited from two schools and classified according to their age group in preschool children (4-6 years) and school children (7-12 years). We collected demographic and anthropometric data, and the variables of the manovacuometry test (MIP and MEP) and spirometry test (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, and FEF25-75%). Pulmonary function tests were considered successful when the participants reached acceptability and reproducibility criteria established by national and international guidelines. In the statistical analysis, we used the chi-square test and Pearson correlation test. We included 148 participants, mean age of 8.1±1.7 years, being 51.4% female and 85.1% healthy. The success rate for the manovacuometry test and spirometry was 91.9% and 91.2%, respectively. There was a significantly lower success rate in the preschool group, compared to school children for both manovacuometry (p=0.044) and spirometry (p=0.015) tests. We found positive correlations between the MIP and FEV1 and MEP and FEF25-75%. The findings demonstrated a significantly lower success rate in preschool age group, compared to pre-school subjects in both pulmonary function tests evaluated.

title: Postural stability, risk of falls and fear of falling in elderly with diabetic neuropathy who do therapeutic exercises

description: This study aimed to analyze postural stability, the risk of falls and fear of falling in elderly with diabetic neuropathy (DNP) that perform therapeutic exercises. The authors conducted the screening of elderly patients with DNP using the instruments Neuropathy Symptom Score (NSS) and the Neuropathy Disability Score (NDS). The 50 selected patients were divided into two groups: 24 of G1 (who were performing therapeutic exercises) and 26 of G2 (the control group). To assess postural stability, risk of falls and fear of falling among groups used the pressure platform, the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the Falls Efficacy Scale (FES-I). There was no significant difference in the outcome of BBS scales (p=0.16) and FES-I (p=0.15) between the G1 and G2; by the pressure platform, we found differences between G1 and G2 in parameters path length (PL) and stability medio-lateral (ML), with both eyes closed (EC). Elderly people with DNP who perform therapeutic exercise have better stability and ML and PL with EC that sedentary elderly; however, there was no association with therapeutic exercise, risk of falls and fear of falling.

title: Correlation between temporal-spatial parameters and manual ability of adults with dyskinetic cerebral palsy

description: The aim of this study was to verify relation between kinematic variables of temporal-spatial parameters and manual ability and between own temporal-spatial variables during the movement of bring a mug to the mouth in adults with dyskinetic cerebral palsy (DCP). Sixteen adults with DCP were evaluated by MACS (Manual Ability Classification System), and by temporal-spatial variables of tridimensional kinematics of the movement to bring a bug to the mouth by means of 9 cameras infra-red Vicon(r) MX 40 (Oxford Metrics Group, Oxford, UK). The Spearman correlation coefficient (ρ) was used to correlate variables. As a result, we found weak correlation between the classification of manual ability and the adjusting phase (ρ=0.219), the velocity variables - average velocity (ρ=-0.313), peak velocity (ρ=-0.282) and time to peak velocity (ρ=-0.250). No correlation was found between the variables going and returning phase and MACS. Moderate correlation was found between going and returning phase (ρ=0.559), between the going phase and time to peak velocity (ρ=0.518) and between the adjusting phase and peak velocity (ρ=-0.562). A strong correlation was found between the mean velocity and peak velocity (ρ=0.947) and between the adjusting phase and average velocity (ρ=-0.635). In conclusion, functional impairment may be related to longer adjusting phase and decrease of movement speed in subjects with PCD. Kinematic variables were related to each other in moderate and strong way and indicated that the phases runtime influences the movement speed.

title: Physical therapy in the conservative treatment for anterior cruciate ligament rupture followed by contralateral rupture: case report

description: Although the surgical reconstruction be the obvious indication for the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) lesion, there is no consensus on whether the results of surgery are superior to those obtained with nonsurgical management. The objective of this report was to describe a case of nonsurgical treatment for ACL rupture followed by a contralateral rupture. A 28-year-old female practitioner of muay-thai and handball suffered a non-contact ACL rupture in the left knee, and three months after the end of rehabilitation, the patient suffered a second non-contact ACL rupture in the contralateral knee and also received nonsurgical treatment. After both ruptures the patient received a treatment program focused on the strengthening of the quadriceps and hamstring muscles, trunk stabilization, plyometrics exercises, perturbation training, and return-to-sport training. After the treatments the patient exhibited absence of pain; normal muscular function and knee extension and flexion strength; normal range of motion; normal hop tests (&lt;10% difference between members); improvement in the knee functional capacity and total return to normal activities. After two years of follow-up, the patient remained pain free and with normal knee function. The findings demonstrate the physical therapy effects in the nonsurgical treatment of bilateral ACL rupture. The patient could return to sport practice without instability. Further studies with a larger sample are needed to assess the recovery capacity and the full return to sport activities of patients with ACL injury.

title: Quality of life after mastectomy and its relation with muscle strength of upper limb

description: This research transversal, analytical, exploratory and quantitative approach aimed to identify the quality of life of women who have had a mastectomy surgery, relate the results with the strength of the upper limb muscle affected and draw a sociofunctional profile. A total of 10 women participated, from 30 to 60 years old, who underwent to unilateral modified radical mastectomy in a medium-sized hospital in an inner city of Rio Grande do Sul, for at least one year from the date of data collection. The strength of the upper limb muscle was evaluated by manual testing and the handgrip was tested with the dynamometer. A sociofunctional questionnaire was applied and the quality of life data were collected through the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 questionnaire, followed by the module BR-23. The strength had decreased in all muscle groups homolateral to the surgery. The life quality in a global health bases resulted as regular. The main changes found in the functionality were at scales: emotional, cognitive and sexual. Statistically, it was found significance and correlation between physical health and social function (p=0.04; r=0.65), cognition and functional performance (p=0.01; r=0.75), emotional performance and cognition (p=0.005; r=0.9) and between handgrip of the affected limb with the global health (p=0.008; r=0.77). Breast cancer and mastectomy has a direct impact on the upper limb muscle strength, functionality and on life quality of women, in sexual, cognitive and emotional domains, and physiotherapy plays an important role in the rehabilitation and in social rehabilitation of these.

title: Study of the brainstem auditory evoked potential with speech stimulus in the pediatric population with and without oral language disorders: a systematic review

description: Abstract Introduction: The brainstem auditory evoked potential with speech stimulus, BAEP-speech, has been applied to observe how speech sounds are manifested in the brainstem. This tool can be used in children to assess central auditory processing, allowing preventive and early interventions. Objective: To assess the results found in the brainstem auditory evoked potential with speech stimulus in the pediatric population with and without oral language disorders, through a systematic literature review. Methods: The search was carried out in the scientific databases Portal BVS, Pubmed, Lilacs, Medline, Scielo and Web of Science, OpenGrey.eu, DissOnline, OpenDoar, OAIster and The New York Academy of Medicine. A systematic literature review was performed using the descriptors: auditory evoked potentials, children and their synonyms, combined by the Boolean operators AND and OR. The search filter “age: child” was used. The studies were independently read by peers and, in case of disagreement regarding the inclusion of studies, a third researcher was consulted. Original case-control articles that performed BAEP-speech without competitive noise, carried out in the pediatric population without and with oral language disorders, were included. Result: 14 articles published between 2008 and 2019 were included in this review. Methodological variability was observed in the exam, with the syllable / da / being the most frequently used as the stimulus. When performing the average of the groups, it was observed that the population with specific language disorders showed greater latency delays in the sustained portion, lower amplitude values and VA complex slope. The group with phonological disorders had higher values in the transient portion of the responses. Conclusion: Children with language disorders of different etiologies have different patterns of BAEP-speech responses when compared to children with typical development.

title: Traumatic perforations of the tympanic membrane: immediate clinical recovery with the use of bacterial cellulose film

description: Abstract Introduction: Perforation of the tympanic membrane is a reasonably frequent diagnosis in otorhinolaryngologists’ offices. The expectant management is to wait for spontaneous healing, which usually occurs in almost all cases in a few weeks. However, while waiting for healing to be completed, the patients may experience uncomfortable symptoms. Although some research suggests the use of various materials to aid in the recovery of the tympanic membrane, none presented robust evidence of improvement in the cicatricial process. Nevertheless, the occlusion of the perforation with some material of specific texture and resistance can alleviate the patients’ symptoms and accelerate the healing process. Objective: To evaluate the clinical (symptomatic and functional) improvement after the placement of bacterial cellulose film (Bionext®) on tympanic membrane perforations (traumatic). Methods: We evaluated 24 patients, victims of traumatic perforations of the tympanic membrane, who were evaluated in the Otorhinolaryngology Emergency Room. Following otoscopy and audiometric examination was performed, before and after the use of cellulose film occluding the tympanic membrane perforation. Results: Twenty-four patients were included, whose degree of overall discomfort caused by the tympanic membrane perforation and the presence of symptoms of autophonia, ear fullness and tinnitus were investigated. The mean score attributed to the overall annoyance caused by tympanic membrane perforation was 7.79, decreasing to a mean value of 2.25 after the film application. Symptom evaluation also showed improvement after using the film: autophonia decreased from a mean value of 6.25 to 2.08, tinnitus from 7 to 1.92 and ear fullness from 7.29 to 1.96. The auditory analysis showed mean threshold values still within the normal range at low and medium frequencies, with slight hearing loss at acute frequencies, but with significant improvement at all frequencies, with the exception of 8000 Hz, after film use. Conclusion: The use of bacterial cellulose film fragment on traumatic perforations of the tympanic membrane promoted immediate functional and symptomatic recovery in the assessed patients.
