title: SLEEP AND CHILDHOOD MENTAL HEALTH: ROLE OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND CARDIORESPIRATORY FITNESS

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: Sleep is considered an important health indicator and plays a key role in brain development and plasticity. Objective: To ascertain whether there is a relationship between sleep quality and mental health indicators and whether organized physical activity (PA) or cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) act as moderators of this association. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 226 students between six and 11 years of age, male and female, in the early years of elementary education at a public school in Porto Alegre, Brazil, which was selected for convenience. CRF was measured by running test and six-minute walk. Sleep quality and organized physical activity outside of school were verified through an anamnesis, socioeconomic status through an adaptation of the ABEP (Brazilian Association of Research Companies) questionnaire, and mental health indicators with the assistance of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, all answered by parents. Frequencies, means, standard deviations and generalized linear models were used for the data analysis, while a 95% confidence interval was used for the analyses. Results: Sleep quality was associated with total difficulties (β=7.659, p&lt;0.001), emotional symptoms (β= 1.754; p=0.001), hyperactivity/inattentiveness (β=3.054, p &lt;0.001), conduct problems (β=1.619, p&lt;0.001) and peer relationship problems (β=1.231; p=0.007) in boys. In girls it was related to total difficulties (β=3.421; p=0.006), and conduct problems (β=1.235; p=0.003). However, the interactions were not significant. Conclusion: Although they occur independently, stress is placed on the importance of sleeping well, engaging in organized PA and having good CRF levels for the improvement and maintenance of mental health. Level of evidence III; Case-control study.

title: Renal manifestations of sarcoidosis: from accurate diagnosis to specific treatment

description: ABSTRACT Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease characterized by epithelioid noncaseating granulomas associated with clinical and radiologic findings. The cause of this disease is still uncertain. Sarcoidosis affects mostly lungs and lymph nodes and is not usually considered a urological disease, therefore, this etiology may be overlooked in several urological disorders, such as hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria and nephrolithiasis. It affects all races and genders. This review aims to describe the urological manifestations of sarcoidosis and to elucidate how the disease may affect the management of numerous urological conditions.

title: Knowledge of Medical Students about Palliative Care

description: ABSTRACT Introduction The aging of the world’s population brings with it the increase in chronic diseases, although without a concomitant improvement in quality of life or management of the diseases. In this context, palliative care constitutes an interdisciplinary care model aiming at the integral care of the human being. In contrast, the incessant search for a cure can result in a sense of denial and defeat when facing death. Approaching this subject is necessary during medical school, so that future professionals feel adequately prepared and secure, thus providing the best care for their patients. Purpose To evaluate the knowledge on palliative care of undergraduate medical students of Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina (UNISUL), campus Tubarão. Method A cross-sectional study was carried out through the application of an anonymous, self-administered questionnaire containing 39 questions, divided into 12 sociodemographic questions and 27 objective questions about palliative care. Data collection was carried out from March to June 2018. The Chi-square test (X2), Fisher`s exact test, Likelihood ratio, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s tests were used. The significance level was set at 5%. Results A total of 188 medical students, of which 56.9% were females, at the prevalent age range between 21 and 25 years old participated in the study. In the case of an oncological patient, 3.2% (6) of the interviewees would prefer that treatment decisions be made only by the physician, of which 83.3% (5) were males (p = 0.04); 49.5% (93) of the interviewees declared themselves prepared to face the process of death and grief, of which 54.8% (51) were males (p = 0.005); 80.3% (151) of the students denied having acquired skills to communicate bad news, of which 62.9% (95) were females (p &lt;0.001). The students at the 10th semester of the Medical course showed a better average of right answers to questions about the pharmacology of pain management. Most students considered important the incorporation of palliative care content in the curriculum, but 68.1% of them had no interest in working in this area. Conclusion In conclusion, the teaching of the palliative care subject during UNISUL’s medical course resulted in an adequate knowledge of internship students; however, there is some difficulty when facing the process of death and insecurity when approaching the communication and medical attitude. It is necessary to improve the teaching of capabilities and skills in the area, emphasizing universal care focused on the patient and not only on curing diseases, as well as mobilizing efforts to encourage the students’ self-esteem.

title: RELATIVE AGE IN FEMALE FUTSAL ATHLETES: IMPLICATIONS ON ANTHROPOMETRIC PROFILE AND STARTER STATUS

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: Evidence suggests that a higher distribution of elite athletes have birth dates in the first few months of the year. However, the advantages of birth month on performance related to starter status, structure and body composition in female futsal (5-a-side football played on a hard court, mainly indoors), are unknown. Objective: To determine the effect of relative age (ERA) on competitive female futsal athletes, and its influence on anthropometric profile and starter status. Methods: One hundred and fifteen athletes, participants in the 20th Brazilian Cup of Adult Futsal Clubs, special division, were submitted to measurements of body mass, height, skinfold thickness, body perimeters and bone diameters, in order to characterize the anthropometric profile and determine the body somatotype. The athletes were distributed in semesters and quartiles of the months of the year, according to their birth dates. Differences in the distribution of expected and observed birth dates were tested using Chi-square tests (χ2). Comparisons between semesters and birth quartiles were performed using parametric and non-parametric tests. Results: There was no ERA in distribution (p=0.248), anthropometric profile (p=0.872 to 0.912), or starter status between athletes born from January to June (p=0.352) and those born between July and December (p=0.744). On the other hand, those born in the first months of the year showed longer practice times than those born in the latter months of the year. Conclusion: Although the ERA in this study reveals longer practice times favoring female futsal athletes born in the first quartile of the year, it did not influence the starter status, the distribution in the teams, or any advantage in anthropometric profile. Level of evidence III, Case-Control Study.

title: Interface between the Medical Residency, Demand for Medical Specialists and the Labor Market

description: ABSTRACT The training of medical specialists in Brazil has suffered a series of interferences over time, including the recommendation that the offer/expansion of medical residency be based on regional needs. With a view to directing the expansion of residency vacancies in a given region, a diagnosis of the local reality of specialized care was proposed. To that end, this study was evaluated over five years: the demand for consultations by specialists in the municipal health network, the number of vacancies offered in the universities of the municipality and their occupation according to specialty, and the number of practicing medical specialists in the public and private sector. It was verified that there is a great demand for specialist consultations not met by the public health network. Ophthalmology, Neurology and Endocrinology were the specialties with the highest number of unattended referrals. In parallel, the offer of residency places was relevant to the number of local graduates; however, it was observed that vacancies remained idle in all evaluated years, especially for Family and Community Medicine residency. Finally, the number of specialist physicians working in the private sector was much higher than the number of those working in the public sector, including those with the greatest deficiency in public health care. Even with the mobility that characterizes the complementary medical training through residency, local necessities could influence the placement of the specialist physician. The discussion about the parameters of the offer/expansion of medical residency vacancies is considered, bearing in mind that the reduced number of specialists in Family and Community Medicine working in the network can interfere in the increased referrals to other specialties. Thus, the identification of health demands is insufficient to guide the expansion of residency vacancies, especially considering the training of the specialist physician in relation to the labor market.

title: Late Cardiac Tamponade in a Patient Victim of Penetrating Trauma – Case Report

description: Abstract Case Presentation: A case of a 49-year-old patient, male, victim of stab wound, developing belatedly cardiac tamponade and hemodynamic stability was reported. The patient underwent a pericardial window with drainage of pericardial effusion of blackened aspect; however, without visualization of the cardiac lesion, enlargement of the incision by median sternotomy was opted for. A hematoma was spotted at the left ventricle with epicardial lesion and a patch of pericardium was made with 3-0 polypropylene. The patient developed acute pulmonary edema and atrial fibrillation, which improved after the intensive care unit clinical management, with hospital discharge in the 7th postoperative day.

title: The effects of time on the performance of local government: the “Pact for Health Care” Program

description: Abstract This study evaluated the impact of the time a Brazilian local government stays as member of the program “Pacto pela Saúde” (Pact for Health) - by signing a Management Agreement -, and its efficiency to provide primary health care for the population. The research observed the period from 2008 to 2012. The program was an initiative of the Federal Government operated by municipalities through the Management Agreement and aimed to improve healthcare policy management adopting a results-based managerial approach. The program was in place between 2006 and 2012 and was operated by 4,587 local governments (80 percent of the Brazilian municipalities). The research question guiding the study was ‘What was the effect of the time of a local government in the program (in years) on the efficiency of health care delivery to local populations? A quasi-experimental research design was adopted, estimating a dose-response model with generalized propensity score. An efficiency indicator of the primary care policy (IDEAB) was estimated via principal component analysis, based on the targets recommended by the program. The results of the dose-response model showed that the number of years in the Management Agreement had a positive and statistically significant impact on the efficiency of health care delivery in participating municipalities. For each additional year in the agreement, IDEAB increased by an average of 0.011 to 0.019 units. Therefore, the results suggest that establishing targets are important for the governance of the Brazilian health care policy.

title: Unusual Presentation of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Elderly Patient

description: Abstract We presented a case of a 56-year-old man with giant pulmonary artery aneurysm caused by a misdiagnosed patent ductus arteriosus, severe multivalvular disease and active aortic valve endocarditis successfully treated by surgery. The correct diagnosis was missed despite preoperative diagnostics because the small patent ductus arteriosus was located at the distal part of common pulmonary trunk and a huge regurgitant signal overlapped its Doppler signal. Thorough evaluation of every patient, regardless of age, is necessary to recognize and treat this congenital anomaly.
