title: Effects of auriculotherapy with mustard seeds on chronic low back pain of nursing professionals

description: ABSTRACT More than 60% of nursing workers have an episode of low back pain for one year, causing a negative socioeconomic impact, as this is one of the major causes of absence from work. Auriculotherapy is a low-cost, non-invasive acupuncture technique that uses the auricular pavilion as a microsystem of the human organism mapped by points that when stimulated can treat several ailments. Thus, this study aims to verify the efficacy of mustard seed (Brassica juncea) auriculotherapy in alleviating pain, improving functionality and lumbar mobility of female technical professionals and nursing assistants with chronic low back pain. A blind randomized clinical trial was conducted with two groups: one group used mustard seeds for acupressure in the ear points “Shen-Men,” “Kidney,” “Sympathetic,” and “Lumbar Spine”; the placebo group used low density polyurethane foam in place of seeds. Each group performed four auriculotherapy sessions, one per week. The groups were analyzed using infrared thermograms and pressure algometry for pain, finger-floor measurement for mobility and Roland-Morris Questionnaire for spine functionality, with a 95% confidence interval. Mustard seed auriculotherapy reduced the average temperature in the thermograms analyzed by 0.8 °C, as well as increased the pain threshold to lumbar spine pressure of the volunteers by 0.4 Kgf, which shows a significant improvement of low back pain. Therefore, mustard seed auriculotherapy was effective in alleviating low back pain.

title: Autologous graft of extraocular muscle to treat large angle sensory strabismus

description: ABSTRACT We report 13 cases of large angle sensory strabismus treated with autologous graft of extraocular muscle. Recession-resection procedure of the horizontal rectus muscles was performed, and the flap from the resected muscle was sutured to the weakened muscle as an autologous expander. Six cases of exotropia and seven of esotropia, with mean prism diopter deviation of 75 (range of 70-90). There was significant improvement in the postoperative deviation, and mean prism diopter of 10.07 (range of no deviation to 35). Only one patient progressed with inverted misalignment after the surgical procedure.

title: Demographic profile and quality of life of women with cardiovascular and respiratory diseases: population-based study

description: ABSTRACT This study aims to describe the profile of three groups of women; apparently healthy (non-sick - NS); with cardiovascular diseases (CD); and with chronic respiratory diseases (RD). These groups were compared according to sociodemographic variables (age group, education, ethnicity, and family income) and quality of life (QoL) data, composing the domains: physical, psychological, social relations, and environment. This study is characterized as quantitative, analytical, observational, and cross-sectional population-based, with information extracted from the Women’s Health Survey, conducted in the city of Uberaba-MG. A total of 1,387 women were interviewed, and information on CD, RD, age, education, ethnicity and family income were collected. The QoL was studied using WHOQOL - BREF, according to its four domains. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed. The CD group is composed of women aged 50 years and older and low education level, in contrast to the women of the RD group , who are younger and have higher education level. As for QoL, women with CD (31.65%) had lower levels than women with RD (19.10%), in the domains: physical (50.6;54.0;&lt;0.0001), psychological (55.1;58.7;&lt;0.0001), social relations (75.8;77.2;0.0055), and environment (41.7;43.0;0.0173), values on average and p, respectively. Therefore, the QoL domain that obtained the lowest score for all groups was the environment and women with CD presented lower values for all categories, which were statistically significant.

title: Quali-quantitative analysis of adherence and perceived satisfaction of individuals with COPD after high-intensity training on land and in water: additional analysis from a randomized clinical trial

description: ABSTRACT Although patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) benefit in many ways after participating in pulmonary rehabilitation programs, high dropout rates are still observed among participants. This study aims to analyze the adherence rate and perceived satisfaction in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who underwent high-intensity physical training on land (LG) and in water (WG). This study is an additional analysis from a randomized controlled trial. In total, 36 subjects (51%) completed the intervention. All participants underwent six months of high-intensity endurance and strength training. Adherence was assessed by the proportion of patients who completed the training program. Perceived satisfaction was evaluated using a questionnaire composed of structured and semi-structured questions. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed according to the criteria of our thematic analysis. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to assess data normality, and dropout rates were compared using the chi-square test. Statistical significance was set at 5%. Regarding adherence, 59% of WG participants and 44% of LG participants completed the program, with no difference between the groups (p&gt;0.05). Individuals from both groups were equally satisfied after six months of physical training (&lt;90%); the therapist-patient relationship and treatment effectiveness being important factors for this perception. Qualitative analysis also showed that WG participants reported a more prominent improvement in their respiratory symptoms, leisure, sensation of pain, and sleep. In conclusion, patients with COPD were satisfied after six months of high-intensity physical training in water and on land, noting that water exercising promoted additional benefits compared to land exercising. There seems to be no superiority to any of the regimens (water or land) regarding the adherence to the training programs.

title: Evaluation of the autonomic heart rate modulation of patients with chronic renal disease in hemodyalysis: preliminare study

description: ABSTRACT Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as damage to kidney function. Patients have high prevalence of death by cardiovascular events before the final stages of the disease, with higher mortality in dialytic stage, in which autonomic imbalance is evidenced. This study seeks to evaluate sympathovagal modulation of patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis treatment. We evaluated 23 subjects, divided into: CDK-group with CKD-stage 5D in regular hemodialysis treatment; and Control-group with healthy individuals. Heart rate variability (HRV) was collected by a heart rate monitor and analyzed by linear time domain and frequency domain indices. CDK-group had 14 patients, mean age of 48±16; and Control-group had 9 healthy patients, mean age of 64±5. In the time domain, CDK-group showed significantly higher heart rate values compared with Control-group (83.49±13.09 bpm vs. 67.88±9.43 bpm). However, the mean indices of the R-R intervals (735.82±121.54 ms vs. 898.94±123.58 ms), RMSSD (11.75±11.86 ms vs. 20.03±6.80 ms), and SDNN (17.06±9.81 ms vs. 28.42±7.62 ms) from CDK-group showed significantly lower values compared with Control-group. In frequency domain results, CDK-group showed significantly lower values compared with Control-group in LFab (129.7±184.3 ms vs. 262.31±168.15 ms) and HFab (82.70±227.66 ms vs. 180.77±119.85 ms). Patients with CKD on hemodialysis had reduced parasympathetic modulation compared with healthy subjects, suggesting impairment of the sympathovagal balance and, consequently, cardiac autonomic dysfunction.

title: Translation into Portuguese and cross-cultural adaptation for use in Brazil of the Canadian survey of mobilization of ICU patients

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to translate and culturally adapt the “Canadian survey of mobilization of intensive care unit patients” questionnaire to Brazilian Portuguese. This instrument evaluates intensive care unit (ICU) professionals’ knowledge about early mobilization and its importance, their perceptions about barriers and rehabilitation practices with critically ill patients. The protocol includes the following steps: authorization and assignment of rights of use; translation of the instrument into Portuguese; reconciliation; back-translation to the original language; revision and harmonization of back-translation; approval from the main author of the original questionnaire; revision of the Portuguese version; cognitive debriefing; reconciliation; and preparation of the final version. Due to some conceptual and cultural differences between the two countries, some questions were discussed with the author of the original instrument, who agreed with the suggested alterations. During cognitive debriefing, the 10 selected professionals tested the questionnaire’s clarity, understanding, and acceptability, indicating any difficulties they had regarding its content. Many interviewees reported that the instrument raises important reflections on daily practices and the benefits of early mobilization. The questionnaire entitled “Pesquisa de mobilização de pacientes em unidade de terapia intensiva: conhecimento, perspectivas e práticas atuais” was translated and culturally adapted to Brazilian Portuguese and can be used to evaluate aspects of early mobilization by professionals who participate in this process in adult and pediatric ICUs. Future studies using this version will be necessary to verify that the questionnaire provides reproducible and valid measurements.

title: Exercise capacity and daily physical activity levels in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis: association with nutritional status, lung function, hospitalization and antibiotic use

description: ABSTRACT To evaluate the exercise capacity and daily physical activity level among children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis, and its association with nutritional status, lung function, hospitalization time, and days taking antibiotics. This is a cross-sectional study in individuals with cystic fibrosis aged 6 to 18 years. Information on clinical profile, history of hospitalizations and antibiotic use were collected. Participants were submitted to spirometry, bioimpedance, and an assessment of exercise capacity with modified shuttle test (MST), and the level of physical activity was measured with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) using an accelerometer for 5 days. In total, 30 individuals participated, aged 11.2±3.6 years, and 68.0±24.8% in forced expired volume in the first second (FEV1). The median distance covered in the MST was 820 meters (66.3%), showing association with lung function (r=0.78), nutritional status (r=0.38), hospitalization time (r=-0.42) and antibiotic use (r=-0.46). According to the questionnaire, 20 patients (64.6%) were classified as sedentary, the accelerometer revealed that the individuals spend 354.2 minutes in sedentary activities and only 14.9 minutes in moderate to vigorous activities per day. The higher the percentage of time in moderate to vigorous physical activity, the higher the body mass index (BMI) and the shorter the hospitalization time. Exercise capacity and level of physical activity in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis is reduced and associated with lower BMI values and with an increase in hospitalization time.
