title: Pedagogical Preparation for Physicians and their Performance in the Medical Course

description: ABSTRACT Qualifying the medical profile to meet the population’s main health needs is a challenge for contemporary medical schools. In this process, the medical professor has a prominent place, since medical teaching practice is based on the production of models considered valid, previously learned, and the experience of medical practice. One questions, thus, the physician’s pedagogical aptitude to teach, since the professor-academic relationship occurs differently from the physician-patient relationship, starting from the need to understand which ways professors seek to acquire the teaching-specific skills. Objective To carry out an integrative review on the pedagogical training of physicians in the teaching context. Methods This is a non-observational, descriptive integrative review of the literature. Initially, we searched the databases at the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (Lilacs), the US National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health (PubMed) and the Cochrane Library with the help of the Boolean operator and the following descriptors: Health Human Resource Training; Faculty, Medical and Education, Medical, Continuing. The inclusion criteria were free, complete articles, published from 2012 to 2016, in Portuguese, Spanish and English. Results The search resulted in 24 articles those discuss the research theme. After exhaustive reading of the articles found, only five converged and answered the guiding question raised in the initial reflection. Teaching strategies and methodologies, as well as the evaluation of clinical supervision processes to construct the students’ technical knowledge appear as important topics on learning and teaching. In addition, these discussions raise professors’ need for continuing education programs, as well as the construction of evaluation tools for professors, tutors and preceptors. Conclusions This study highlights the continuous improvement in the professors’ pedagogical training and the development of permanent education programs and improvement of the faculty by the school.

title: Six-month outcomes of corneal crosslinking with dextran-free isotonic riboflavin solution

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: To analyze the short-term clinical and topographic outcomes in patients with keratoconus after corneal collagen cross-linking treatment (CXL) with dextran-free isotonic riboflavin solution. Methods: In this retrospective case series, 26 eyes from 26 patients with keratoconus were studied. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and refractive and topographic findings were analyzed at a 6-month follow-up. Results: The mean BCVA (Snellen lines) values before and 1, 3, and 6 months after CXL were 0.51 ± 0.2, 0.48 ± 0.2, 0.57 ± 0.2, and 0.64 ± 0.2, respectively, and the difference between the preoperative and 6-month values was statistically significant (p=0.006). The mean spherical equivalent refraction decreased from -5.6 ± 2.4 diopters (D) preoperatively to -5.0 ± 2.1 D, and mean simulated keratometry decreased from 48.5 ± 2.5 D to 47.8 ± 2.6 D at 6 months. (p=0.145 and p=0.001, respectively). In addition, the maximum keratometry decreased progressively and significantly from the preoperative value during follow-up (p=0.003). The central and minimal corneal thicknesses, including those of the epithelium, also decreased from 442.8 ± 25.6 µm and 430.5 ± 23.9 µm preoperatively to 420.7 ± 31.8 µm and 409.3 ± 28.7 µm at the most recent follow-up (p&lt;0.001), respectively. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were observed. Conclusions: CXL with dextran-free isotonic riboflavin solution appears to be a safe treatment alternative for keratoconus and yields sustained short-term improvements in visual acuity, keratometric readings, and corneal thickness. However, long-term results are needed to confirm these outcomes.

title: Choroidal changes in pre-eclampsia during pregnancy and the postpartum period: comparison with healthy pregnancy

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: To investigate subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) in patients with pre-eclampsia using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). Methods: A sample of 73 pregnant women was studied over 28 weeks of gestation. The sample was divided into two groups: one comprising pre-eclamptic pregnant women (n=32), and the other comprising healthy pregnant women (n=41). The SFCT was determined for all patients using EDI-OCT during pregnancy and at the third month of the postpartum period. Results: The SFCTs in pre-eclamptic pregnant women were 351.97 ± 22.44 and 332.28 ± 20.32 µm during the pregnancy and postpartum periods (p&lt;0.001), respectively, whereas these values in healthy pregnant women were 389.73 ± 49.64 and 329.78 ± 22.36 µm (p&lt;0.001), respectively. During pregnancy SFCT in pre-eclamptic pregnant women was significantly thinner than that in healthy pregnant women (p&lt;0.001). However, there was no statistically significant difference during the postpartum period (p=0.623). Conclusions: The results suggest that SFCT is significantly decreased in pre-eclamptic pregnant women than in healthy pregnant women, despite no statistically significant difference in SFCT existing between the groups during the postpartum period.

title: The Experience of Family Medicine Interns Conducting McGill ILLNESS Narrative Interview with Non-Compliant Chronic Patients

description: ABSTRACT Despite several governmental policies with the purpose of changing medical training in Brazil, it is still predominantly hospital-centered, and the learning process is focused on diseases. We conducted a study in a traditional medical school, in which the students carried out an interview focused on the illness experience assessing chronic patients with compliance difficulties in the treatment of hypertension and/or diabetes in primary care. Fourteen medical students during the Family Medicine Internship at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro were trained to carry out the McGill Illness Narrative Interview (MINI) and identify the modes of understanding and attribution of meaning to the illness and treatment experience. Before and after the completion of the set of 35 interviews, the students were listened to individually regarding their understanding of the compliance phenomenon and the experience with the MINI. The 35 interviews conducted by the students were analyzed with respect to the objectives of each section, in addition to interviewer’s general objective of offering a position of expertise to the patient in their report of the case. We sought to investigate the consistency of the student’s experience with this script to obtain the narrative of illness using conceptual topics – prototypes and explanatory models – and the emerging topics identified according to the technique described by Bardin for content analysis. In the analysis of the interviews conducted by the researcher with the interns at the beginning and the end of their internship, the content analysis consisted of two main themes: clinical understanding and experience with the non-compliance phenomenon, and the appreciation of performing the MINI in the context of medical training. The students considered the MINI a useful tool for understanding and exploring the individuals’ illness and their treatment experiences in their socioeconomic and cultural context. By recognizing the importance of the MINI, the interns usually reported few learning opportunities while providing care for patients. Although the students had previously recognized the importance of listening and the development of bonds, they did not know how these issues could be built, and the experience increased their confidence in the healthcare provided to patients in their medical daily life. The students noticed that non-compliance involved multiple factors, which did not usually emerge during regular medical appointments. In fact, there was more understanding about the compliance phenomenon.

title: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARAMETERS OF THE LUMBAR FACET JOINTS IN A LONG-TERM POSTOPERATIVE OUTCOME

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the impact of the relationship between tropism and angulation of the lower lumbar facet joints on a remote clinical outcome after dynamic and rigid surgical interventions. Methods: Patients with degenerative diseases of the lower lumbar spine were subdivided into three groups, according to the method of surgical treatment: 1) (n=48) the use of an artificial prosthesis intervertebral disc (IVD); 2) (n=42) the use of interbody fusion combined with transpedicular and transfacet stabilization; 3) (n=51) the use of interbody fusion and bilateral transpedicular stabilization. Analysis was performed of the remote clinical parameters and neuroimaging characteristics before the operation was performed. Results: When analyzing clinical and instrumental parameters, a significant correlation was found between the long-term outcomes of surgical treatment on the VAS and Oswestry scales and the neuroimaging data on angulation and tropism of the facet joints (FJ). Conclusions: The data obtained testify to the importance of preoperative diagnosis of tropism and angulation of the lower lumbar facet joint, which enables differentiated surgical tactics to be selected, and remote clinical outcomes to be optimized. In the presence of neuroimaging parameters of Facet Joint angulation of less than 600, regardless of the presence of tropism, it is possible to perform total arthroplasty of IVD. When neuroimaging parameters of Facet Joint angulation of more than 600 are detected, rigid stabilization of the operated segment is recommended, while in the absence of tropism of Facet Joints, a contralateral transfacetal fixation is possible; in the presence of tropism, it is expedient to perform bilateral transpedicular stabilization. Level of Evidence II; Prognostic Studies—Investigating the Effect of a Patient Characteristic on the Outcome of Disease.

title: Differentiation of mild keratoconus from corneal warpage according to topographic inferior steepening based on corneal tomography data

description: ABSTRACT We report two cases of suspicious asymmetric bow tie and inferior steepening on topographic evaluations with reflection (Placido) and projection (Scheimpflug). Rotating Scheimpflug corneal and anterior segment tomography (Oculus Pentacam HR, Wetzlar, Germany)® was performed in the first case, with a maximal keratometric value (Kmax) of 43.2 D and an overall deviation value from the Belin/Ambrósio Enhanced Ectasia Display (BAD-D) of 1.76, which was observed in the study eye (OD). BAD-D was 6.59 in the fellow eye, which had clinical findings that were consistent with keratoconus stage 2. The second case presented with a Kmax of 45.3 D and BAD-D of 0.76 in OD and 1.01 in OS. This patient had discontinued wearing soft contact lens less than 1 day prior to examination. Corneal tomographic data enabled us to distinguish mild or forme fruste keratoconus from contact lens-induced corneal warpage, and similar findings were observed on curvature maps.

title: Ocular involvement in idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis associated with eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis: a case report

description: ABSTRACT A 43-year-old male with a history of eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis presented with headache and double vision since 48 h. Idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis was diagnosed based on nuclear magnetic resonance and comprehensive systemic study findings. Eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis and idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis have been associated with IgG4-related diseases, but this was the first case in which they coexisted in the same patient. After steroid treatment failure, rituximab was used with excellent results.

title: Glaucoma due to ciliary body cysts and pseudoplateau iris: a systematic review of the literature

description: ABSTRACT The diagnosis of angle-closure glaucoma secondary to iridociliary cysts is challenging and lacks compiled literature support. We present a rare case of bilateral angle-closure glaucoma associated with pseudoplateau iris due to multiple ciliary cysts and conducted a systematic review of the literature to find similar case reports published between November 2006 and November 2016. Only 19 case reports present treatment modalities, and most cases required more than one therapeutic approach for controlling the intraocular pressure. Pseudoplateau iris attributed to iridociliary cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with narrow angles, particularly those with ocular hypertension and glaucoma, in which management is complex. In addition to gonioscopy, ultrasound biomicroscopy is considered the conclusive method for accurate diagnosis.

title: LITERACIES OF SURVIVAL IN DIGITAL NETWORKS: POSSIBLE DIRECTIONS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS STRUGGLES

description: ABSTRACT This paper proposes an analytical course on how literacies of survival question, destabilize and, sometimes break the hegemony established by writings produced by powerful sectors of Brazilian society, such as the largest media corporations and the statements produced by them to criminalize favelas dwellers in Rio de Janeiro. In this sense, I lead the discussion to present the concept of literacies of survival to based on it reflect on how Mariluce Mariá and Cléber Santos, residents of Complexo do Alemão - a huge complex of favelas in Rio de Janeiro - involved in actions of citizen participation in the territory in which they live, use their digital networks to post statements capable of broadening their power of action in struggles aiming to human rights. Above all, I do it based on two specific events: on the interview granted by the couple in the course "Survival, survivals", from the postgradute program in Social Anthropology of the National Museum of Brazil in 2015, and on the hashtag #SOSComplexodoAlemão, whose planning Mariluce and Cléber participated of. Through those events, I mean to denote how favelas dwellers can use their digital networks to produce texts that counteract then hegemonic narratives that consider favelas an obstruction to the urban dynamics. My interpretations are based on the fieldwork I have undertaken in Complexo do Alemão since 2013, classified in prior reflections of mine as a border ethnography.
