Cáncer de mama en el hombre. Reporte de caso / Breast cancer in men. Case repor

Introducción: El cáncer de mama masculino es una patología infrecuente que re-presenta menos del 1% de la patología mamaria maligna, con una edad media de diagnóstico de 67 años. Tiene un peor pronóstico que el cáncer de mama femenino debido a su alto origen genético y baja sospecha, desencadenando diagnósticos inadecuados y tardíos, y disminuyendo la supervivencia a mediano y largo plazo.Objetivo: Describir el caso clínico de un paciente masculino con diagnóstico de cáncer de mama, abordando la presentación clínica, los métodos diagnósticos, el tratamiento oncoespecífico, y la evolución clínica y quirúrgica. Presentación del caso: Se presenta un paciente masculino de 52 años, con evi-dencia de lesión exofítica en mama derecha más ganglio axilar ipsilateral, con diag-nóstico confirmado de patología de cáncer de mama estadio clínico cT4bN1Mx. Se plantea un manejo multidisciplinario: quimioterapia neoadyuvante y mastecto-mía radical derecha. Finalmente recibe tratamiento oncoespecífico y radioterapia con evolución favorable.Discusión: El cáncer de mama masculino tiene una baja incidencia respecto a la mujer, por lo que su sospecha diagnóstica se ve limitada. En etapas iniciales el diagnóstico es inespecífico debido a las pocas manifestaciones clínicas, pero deberá respaldarse en métodos imagenológicos, análisis anatomopatológico e in-munohistoquímico para guiar el tratamiento oncoespecífico.Conclusión: El cáncer de mama masculino posee una sospecha diagnóstica limi-tada que requiere un manejo multidisciplinario específico. La correcta estadifica-ción de la patología depende del seguimiento clínico y un análisis inmunohistoquí-mico oportuno, para un tratamiento adecuado con mejores resultados clínicos y altas tasas de supervivencia.

Introduction: Male breast cancer is an infrequent pathology; it represents less than 1% of malignant breast pathology, with an average age of diagnosis of 67 years. It has a worse prognosis than female breast cancer, due to its high genetic origin and low suspicion, which leads to inadequate and late diagnosis, becoming evident in advanced stages, decreasing survival in the medium and long term.Objective: To describe the clinical case of a patient diagnosed with breast cancer, addressing the clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, oncospecific treatment, as well as the corresponding clinical and surgical evolution.Case presentation: We present a 52-year-old male patient, with evidence of exophytic lesion in right breast plus ipsilateral axillary node, with diagnosis confir-med by pathology report of breast cancer, clinical stage: cT4bN1Mx. A multidisci-plinary management is proposed, initially the patient receives neoadjuvant chemo-therapy, then undergoes a surgical procedure: radical right mastectomy. Finally, she receives oncospecific treatment in the specialties of clinical oncology and radiothe-rapy, with favorable evolution.Discussion: Male breast cancer has a low incidence compared to women, so its diagnostic suspicion is limited. In initial stages the diagnosis is unspecific due to the few clinical manifestations, but should be supported by imaging methods and confirmatory methods, an anatomopathological and immunohistochemical analy-sis, to guide oncospecific treatment. Conclusions: Male breast cancer, is an infrequent pathology with limited diagnos-tic suspicion, which requires specific multidisciplinary management. It is important to have a continuous medical follow-up of the patient, to achieve at the time of diagnosis a correct clinical and immunohistochemical staging, which allows to fo-cus on the appropriate management and treatment, with better clinical outcomes and better survival rates.

Exploring Information Seeking Anxiety Among Localized Prostate Cancer Patients.

Information seeking anxiety is a multidimensional construct that is operationalized as having elements of worry, confusion, and disorganization. Much remains unknown about the ways information seeking anxiety operates among cancer patients in the United States. This study investigated the application of the information seeking anxiety concept among prostate cancer patients by documenting their assessment experiences and examining relationships between information seeking anxiety and treatment information search behaviors. A purposive sample of African American and Caucasian men (N = 63) within 5 years of being diagnosed with localized disease (stage T1 or T2) were recruited to participate through cancer registries, advertisements, and word-of-mouth. Participants completed a self-administered survey with items that collected demographic information, treatment information-seeking behaviors, and information seeking anxiety evaluations. All surveys were completed in one sitting and a majority of men (82.5%, N = 52) completed the information seeking anxiety assessment with no assistance. During their first interactions with available sources of information (e.g., doctors, internet, peers), most survivors (95.2%, N = 60) reported some level of information seeking anxiety. Specifically, 55.5% (N = 35) were confused about what to look for, 60.3% (N = 38) were worried they would not find the right information, 55.5% (N = 35) were uncomfortable with the search process, and 49.2% (N = 31) reported being disorganized. The composite information seeking anxiety measure was moderately correlated with men's self-reported time to start searching for treatment information (p = .02; r = .306). Information seeking anxiety appears to delay the treatment information gathering activities of prostate cancer survivors with localized disease. This previously undocumented barrier to the delivery of prostate cancer care services should be investigated in other studies with larger and more diverse samples.

Older adults, males, and sedentary individuals had a higher number of hospitalizations for COVID-19: prevalence and associated factors in Barbacena-MG, Brazil, 2021-2022 / Idosos, homens e sedentários tiveram maior número de hospitalizações por COVID-19: prevalência e fatores associados em Barbacena-MG, Brasil, 2021-2022

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of hospitalizations due to COVID-19 and to investigate associated factors in adult patients in the city of Barbacena, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Method: This cross-sectional study included a sample of 248 community participants (≥18 years old) with post-COVID-19 complaints treated at an outpatient clinic of the Unified Health System. Data were collected between September 2021 and January 2022. The dependent variable was hospitalization due to COVID-19 (no/yes). The independent variables were operationalized as: age group (18-59/≥60 years), sex (female/male), race (white/other), education (higher/secondary/elementary education+illiterate), marital status (no/with partner), physical activity (active/sedentary), comorbidities (no/yes), systemic arterial hypertension (no/yes), diabetes mellitus (no/yes), use of medication as a treatment for COVID-19 (no/yes), and doses of COVID-19 vaccine (none or one/≥two or three). The prevalence of hospitalization was presented as a percentage. The association between the dependent and independent variables was assessed using binary logistic regression and expressed as odds ratio (OR). Result: The prevalence of hospitalizations due to COVID-19 was 41.5% (36.0% in women and 50.0% in men). Multivariate association analysis showed that age ≥60 years (OR=2.58 [1.41-4.73]), male sex (OR=1.98 [1.10-3.55]), physical inactivity (OR=2.24 [1.38-4.40]), presence of comorbidities (OR=3.15 [1.61-6.17]), and use of medication as a treatment for COVID-19 (OR=3.68 [1.78-7.59]) remained significantly and positively associated with greater odds of hospitalization. Conclusion: Four of 10 patients were hospitalized due to COVID-19. The burden of hospitalization was especially high among older patients, males, sedentary individuals, those with comorbidities, and those who used medication to treat COVID-19

Objetivo: Estimar a prevalência de hospitalizações por COVID-19 e investigar os fatores associados em pacientes adultos do município de Barbacena-MG. Método: Estudo transversal que incluiu uma amostra de 248 participantes comunitários (≥18 anos) com queixas pós-COVID-19 atendidos em um ambulatório do Sistema Único de Saúde. Os dados foram coletados entre setembro/2021 e janeiro/2022. A variável dependente foi a hospitalização por COVID-19 (não/sim). As variáveis independentes foram operacionalizadas como: faixa etária (18-59/≥60 anos), sexo (feminino/masculino), raça (branca/outras), escolaridade (ensino superior/médio/fundamental+analfabeto), estado civil (sem/com companheiro), atividade física (ativo/sedentário), comorbidades (não/sim), hipertensão arterial sistêmica (não/sim), diabetes mellitus (não/sim), uso de medicamentos como tratamento para a COVID-19 (não/sim) e doses de vacina contra a COVID-19 (nenhuma ou uma/≥duas ou três). A prevalência de hospitalizações foi fornecida em porcentagem. A associação entre as variáveis dependente e independentes foi avaliada por meio de regressão logística binária e expressa como odds ratio-OR. Resultado: A prevalência de hospitalizações por COVID-19 foi de 41,5% (36,0% em mulheres e 50,0% em homens). A análise de associação multivariada evidenciou que idade ≥60 anos (OR=2,58 [1,41-4,73]), sexo masculino (OR=1,98 [1,10-3,55]), sedentarismo (OR=2,24 [1,38-4,40]), presença de comorbidades (OR=3,15 [1,61-6,17]) e uso de medicamentos como tratamento para a COVID-19 (OR=3,68 [1,78-7,59]) mantiveram-se significativa e positivamente associadas com maior chance de hospitalização. Conclusão: Quatro em cada 10 pacientes avaliados foram hospitalizados devido à COVID-19. A carga de internações demonstrou-se especialmente elevada em indivíduos idosos, do sexo masculino, sedentários, com comorbidades e que usaram algum medicamento para tratar a COVID-19.

Greater muscle strength is associated with better hemodynamic parameters, physical, cognitive and kidney function in older nursing-home residents / Maior força muscular está associada a melhores parâmetros hemodinâmicos, função física, cognitiva e renal em idosos residentes em casas de repouso

Objective: To analyze hemodynamic parameters, kidney and cognitive function, and physical performance of institutionalized older adults with high- and low-strength. Method: Cross-sectional study. Twenty-one older adults (11 women, 10 men) participated in this study. Blood samples were collected for analysis of biochemical parameters. Cognitive function was evaluated using the mini-mental state examination (MMSE), clock drawing test (CDT), and verbal fluency test, while physical performance was assessed using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and, blood pressure, heart rate, and Framingham Risk Score were evaluated. Result: Based on the median value, participants were divided into low-strength (81.63 ± 3.03 years) and high-strength (82.10 ± 2.11 years). The high-strength group showed significantly lower systolic (138.8 ± 3.6 vs. 116.5 ± 3.1; p<0.05), diastolic (84.9 ± 2.14 vs. 72.9 ± 2.2; p<0.05), mean blood pressure (102.2 ± 2.4 vs. 87.4 ± 2.4; p<0.05), and cardiovascular risk (39.7 ± 4.6 vs. 26.0 ± 3.5; p<0.05) than the low-strength group. In addition, the high-strength group had better HDL-c levels (27.4 ± 1.7 vs. 35.6 ± 3.4; p<0.05), higher estimated glomerular filtration rate (51.5 ± 4.9 vs. 86.2 ± 5.5; p<0.05), and lower creatinine (0.94 ± 0.1 vs 0.57 ± 0.1; p<0.05) than the low-strength group. For cognitive data (MMSE and CDT p<0.05) and physical performance (semi-tandem, tandem and walking speed p<0.05), the high-strength group had better scores compared to the low-strength group. Conclusion: Institutionalized older adults with high-strength has better hemodynamic parameters, physical performance, kidney and cognitive function than those with low-strength levels

Objetivo: Analisar os parâmetros hemodinâmicos, a função física, cognitiva e renal de idosos institucionalizados com alta e baixa força. Método: Estudo transversal. Vinte e um idosos (11 mulheres, 10 homens) participaram do estudo. Foram coletadas amostras de sangue para análise de parâmetros bioquímicos. A função cognitiva foi avaliada por meio do miniexame do estado mental (MEEM), do teste de desenho do relógio (TDR) e do teste de fluência verbal, enquanto o desempenho físico foi avaliado por meio da Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) e foram aferidas a pressão arterial, a frequência cardíaca e o escore de risco de Framingham. Resultado: Com base no valor da mediana, os participantes foram divididos em baixa força (81,63 ± 3,03 anos) e alta força (82,10 ± 2,11 anos). O grupo de alta força apresentou pressão arterial sistólica (138,8 ± 3,6 vs. 116,5 ± 3,1; p<0,05), diastólica (84,9 ± 2,14 vs. 72,9 ± 2,2; p<0,05), média (102,2 ± 2,4 vs. 87,4 ± 2,4; p<0,05) e risco cardiovascular (39,7 ± 4,6 vs. 26,0 ± 3,5; p<0,05) significativamente menores do que o grupo de baixa força. Além disso, o grupo de alta força apresentou melhores níveis de HDL-c (27,4 ± 1,7 vs. 35,6 ± 3,4; p<0,05), maior taxa de filtração glomerular estimada (51,5 ± 4,9 vs. 86,2 ± 5,5; p<0,05) e menor creatinina (0,94 ± 0,1 vs. 0,57 ± 0,1; p<0,05) do que o grupo de baixa força. Em relação aos dados cognitivos (MEEM e TDR, p<0,05) e ao desempenho físico (semi-tandem, tandem e velocidade de caminhada, p<0,05), o grupo de alta força apresentou melhores escores em comparação com o grupo de baixa força. Conclusão: Os idosos institucionalizados com altos níveis de força têm melhores parâmetros hemodinâmicos, desempenho físico, função renal e cognitiva do que aqueles com baixos níveis de força.PALAVRAS-CHAVEAvaliação GeriátricaCardiovascularDesempenho CognitivoFunção RenalForça Muscular

Physical inactivity and sedentary behavior in individuals with stable COPD non-infected by SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 pandemic / Inatividade física e comportamento sedentário em indivíduos com DPOC estável não infectados pelo SARS-CoV-2 durante a pandemia de COVID-19

Objective: to identify factors associated to sedentary behavior and physical inactivity in individuals with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) non-infected by SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to identify possible favorable conditions during social isolation in individuals who performed pulmonary rehabilitation in the pre-pandemic period. Method: time/day in sedentary activities and moderate/vigorous physical activities (SA and MVPA, respectively), history of previous rehabilitation, laboural activity, symptoms, insecurity and quality of life (Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey [SF-36]) were assessed during strict social isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Individuals were classified as sedentary if presenting time/day in SA >8.5 h/day and physically inactive if presenting time/day in MVPA <150 min/week. Result: The sample consisted of 33 individuals (69±7 years; 20 male). Regarding the SF-36, non-sedentary individuals presented better functional capacity than sedentary individuals (65 [38-73] vs. 33 [20-63] points; p=0.01) whereas physically active individuals presented better physical and social function than physically inactive individuals (100 [100-100] vs. 50 [25-100] points, p=0.049; and 100 [100-100] vs. 75 [69-100] points, p=0.022, respectively). Having a professional activity and working outside were associated with non-sedentary behavior (X2=5.93; p=0.025 and X2=7.03; p=0.009, respectively). Having undergone rehabilitation previously to the pandemic was associated with less insecurity to walk outside (X2=4.95; p=0.034) and better perception of symptoms' worsening (X2=5.46; p=0.033). Conclusion: non-sedentarism was associated with functional capacity and laboural activity; active lifestyle was associated with physical and social function; and previous rehabilitation was associated with better symptoms' recognition and less insecurity

Objetivo: identificar fatores associados ao comportamento sedentário e inatividade física em indivíduos com doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica (DPOC) estável não-infectados pelo SARS-CoV-2 durante o isolamento social causado pela pandemia de COVID-19, e identificar eventuais condições favoráveis durante o isolamento social em indivíduos que realizaram reabilitação pulmonar pré-pandemia. Método: tempo/dia em atividades sedentárias e em atividades físicas moderadas/vigorosas (AS e AFMV, respectivamente), reabilitação prévia, atividade laboral, sintomas, insegurança e qualidade de vida (Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey [SF-36]) foram avaliados durante a vigência de isolamento social devido à pandemia de COVID-19. Foram considerados sedentários aqueles que apresentassem tempo/dia em AS >8,5 h/dia e fisicamente inativos os que apresentassem tempo/dia em AFMV <150 min/semana. Resultado: a amostra consistiu em 33 indivíduos (69±7 anos; 20 homens). Pelo SF-36, indivíduos não-sedentários apresentaram melhor capacidade funcional do que sedentários (65 [38-73] vs. 33 [20-63] pontos; p=0,01) enquanto indivíduos fisicamente ativos apresentaram melhor função física e social do que os fisicamente inativos (100 [100-100] vs. 50 [25-100] pontos, p=0,049; e 100 [100-100] vs. 75 [69-100] pontos, p=0,022, respectivamente). Ter atividade profissional e trabalhar fora de casa associou-se com comportamento não-sedentário (X2=5,93; p=0,025 e X2=7,03; p=0,009, respectivamente). Ter participado de reabilitação pulmonar pré-pandemia associou-se com menos insegurança para caminhar em lugares públicos (X2=4,95; p=0,034) e melhor percepção de piora dos sintomas respiratórios (X2=5,46; p=0,033). Conclusão: não-sedentarismo associou-se com capacidade funcional e atividade laboral; ser fisicamente ativo associou-se com função física e social; e ter realizado reabilitação prévia com menos insegurança e melhor percepção dos sintomas

Síndrome de Aarskog: um relato de caso / Aarskog syndrome: a case report

Introdução: A Síndrome de Aarskog-Scott (AAS) é uma rara displasia faciogenital ligada ao gene FGD1, afetando principalmente meninos. Relato de caso: Descreve-se um caso de um menino de 4 anos com AAS, destacando sua importância científica devido à raridade, escassez de descrições e morbidade associada. Ele apresentou fenda sacral, criptorquidia bilateral, atrasos no crescimento e histórico familiar semelhante. A AAS é caracterizada por estatura baixa, anomalias faciais e diversos comprometimentos. Este caso ressalta a importância do acompanhamento médico especializado. Considerações finais: A escassez de estudos comparáveis destaca a relevância dos relatos de casos para aprofundar a compreensão de condições clínicas singulares.

Case report: We describe a case of a 4-year-old boy with AAS, highlighting its scientific importance due to its rarity, scarcity of descriptions, and associated morbidity. He presented with sacral cleft, bilateral cryptorchidism, growth delays, and similar family history. AAS is characterized by short stature, facial anomalies, and various impairments. Final considerations: This case underscores the importance of specialized medical care, and the scarcity of comparable studies highlights the relevance of case reports in deepening the understanding of unique clinical conditions.

"In My Mind, It Was Just Temporary": A Qualitative Study of the Impacts of Cancer on Men and Their Strategies to Cope.

Individuals who are diagnosed and treated for cancer use a variety of strategies to manage its impacts. However, there is currently a lack of research on men's experience with managing cancer impacts, which is necessary to better support them throughout the cancer care continuum. This study explored the experience of men diagnosed with cancer, focusing on the impacts of the illness and its treatment and men's strategies to cope. A qualitative descriptive design was used. Thirty-one men (Mage = 52.7 [26-82] years) diagnosed with various cancer types were recruited to take part in individual telephone interviews (n = 14) or online focus groups (n = 17) addressing the impacts of cancer and strategies they used to cope with these impacts. Directed content analysis was performed, using Fitch's (2008) supportive care framework to guide the analysis. Cancer impacts and strategies used to cope were classified into six categories: physical, psychological, interpersonal, informational, practical, and spiritual. Results indicate that the cancer experience is diverse and multifaceted rather than homogeneous. Medical and supportive care services could be more effectively personalized to meet the diversity of men's needs by adopting a comprehensive and holistic approach to supportive care. Working in partnership with patients, it appears promising to recognize and identify men's needs and match them to appropriate resources to provide truly supportive care.

Experiências e perspectivas dos homens sobre sua participação na gestação: um estudo de abordagem qualitativa / Men's experiences and perspectives on their involvement in pregnancy: a qualitative approach study

OBJETIVO: Compreender a percepção masculina sobre sua própria participação durante a gestação. MÉTODO: Pesquisa descritiva de abordagem qualitativa. As informações foram coletadas por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com dez homens acompanhantes de puérperas em Alojamento Conjunto, e submetidas a análise temática. RESULTADOS: De maneira geral, a participação do homem no pré-natal ocorreu no acompanhamento nas consultas, em exames e no suporte na realização das tarefas domésticas. Algumas limitações foram a rotina de trabalho e aspectos jurídicos relacionados a questões trabalhistas. Os entrevistados apontaram sugestões para maior incentivo na sua participação e na inclusão na vivência da gestação e do pré-natal. CONCLUSÃO: Os profissionais da área devem dar voz aos pais, e devem inseri-los como alvo das ações em saúde, tornando-o também protagonista neste momento, e assim reforçando as boas práticas assistenciais determinadas por políticas governamentais.

OBJECTIVE: To understand men's experiences and perceptions of their involvement in pregnancy. METHOD: A descriptive, qualitative research approach was used. Information was collected through semi-structured interviews with ten male partners of postpartum women in a shared accommodation setting and subjected to thematic analysis. RESULTS: Overall, men's involvement in prenatal care included attending medical appointments, being present during examinations, and assisting with household tasks. Some limitations included work routines and legal aspects related to work issues. Respondents suggested ways to encourage greater involvement and inclusion in the experience of pregnancy and prenatal care. CONCLUSION: Health professionals should give fathers a voice and include them as targets of health initiatives, making them active participants during this period and reinforcing good health practices set by government policies.

Genital Graft-versus-Host Disease in Children: An Underdiagnosed and Undertreated Entity.

Genital graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is an underdiagnosed and poorly recognized complication, especially in the pediatric population. We report our data on children with genital manifestations of GVHD and their unique clinical features. The study included children up to age 18 years who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) over a 20-year period from February 2002 to February 2022. A total of 1035 children underwent HSCT during the study period. Genital GVHD was documented in 164 children (15.8%). Among these 164 children, 23 (14%) were age <2 years, 98 (59.8%) were age 2 to 10 years, and 43 (26.2%) were age ≥10 years. The conditioning regimen was myeloablative in 122 children (74.4%) and reduced intensity in 42 children (25.6%). Donor type was matched related donor in 62 (37.8%), matched unrelated donor in 44 (26.8%), and haploidentical in 34 (20.7%). Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) were used in 78.7% of the children (n = 129), and sex mismatch was noted in 31.1% of genital GVHD cases (51 of 164). The overall incidence of chronic oral GVHD was 33% (342 of 1035), and of these, 47.9% (164 of 342) also had genital GVHD. Patients with genital GVHD ultimately may require surgical management; 21.5% (22 of 103) of boys with genital GVHD ultimately required circumcision for phimosis, and 1 female patient developed hematocolpos necessitating surgical management. Our case series highlights the significant association between chronic oral GVHD and genital GVHD. Given the strong association between oral GVHD and genital GVHD in children, it is imperative to examine the genital area in all children on follow-up for chronic GVHD. Donor-recipient sex mismatch and use of PBSC grafts predispose to chronic genital GVHD. Early identification and treatment of genital GVHD may help prevent complications, including scarring and phimosis.

Descortinando Estudos em Masculinidades: uma análise sobre o catálogo de teses e dissertações da Fundação Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Unveiling Studies in Masculinities: an analysis of the theses and dissertations catalog of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel Foundation / Découvrant des Études sur les Masculinités: analyse du catalogue de thèses et de mémoires de la Fondation Coordination pour l'Amélioration du Personnel de l'Enseignement Supérieur / Revelando Estudios sobre Masculinidades: un análisis del catálogo de tesis de la Fundación Coordinación para el Perfeccionamiento del Personal de Educación Superior

A Psicologia como campo de saber é chamada para compreender processos de invisibilização e subalternização de experiências, tais como o processo de masculinização de homens. A partir da análise de pesquisas em masculinidade(s) e sobre homens realizadas pelos programas de Pós-Graduação em Psicologia no Brasil disponíveis no Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Fundação Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, compreendemos a importância de se introduzir critérios socioculturais como filtros em catálogos de indexação de pesquisas. Essa estratégia possibilita entender quem tem pesquisado sobre determinado campo teórico e dialogar de maneira mais afinado com as(os) interlocutoras(es) em uma pesquisa, auxiliando na promoção da inserção social, critério de avaliação estabelecido por essa fundação

Psychology as a field of knowledge is called upon to understand processes of invisibilization and subalternization of experiences, such as the process of masculinization of men. Based on an analysis of research into masculinity(ies) and men carried out by Postgraduate Programs in Psychology in Brazil, available in the Theses and Dissertations Catalog of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) Foundation, we understood the importance of introducing sociocultural criteria as filters in search indexing catalogs. This strategy makes it possible to understand who has been researching a given theoretical field and to engage in a more attuned dialogue with the interlocutor(s) in a piece of research, helping to promote social inclusion, an evaluation criterion established by CAPES

Revisión integrativa sobre evidencia actual de la uretroplastia / Integrative review on current evidence for urethroplasty

La uretroplastía se ha convertido en el estándar de manejo de la estrechez uretral, dependiendo de la localización y etiología de esta. Los datos de los resultados a largo plazo varían dependiendo de la definición que se utilice como éxito (subjetiva u objetiva). El objetivo de esta revisión integrativa es mostrar la información disponible sobre los resultados funcionales de pacientes con estrechez uretral manejados quirúrgicamente. El estudio es una revisión integrativa que se realizó mediante una búsqueda de la literatura en PubMed. Incluimos artículos que describían resultados de pacientes sometidos a reconstrucción uretral con uretroplastia, solo hombres, en inglés o español, publicados entre 1999-2022. Incluimos 34 artículos, los cuales mostraron que, según el tipo de procedimiento realizado, las características de la estrechez uretral y las variables definidas como éxito y fracaso, los factores de riesgo asociados a la recurrencia posterior a la reconstrucción con uretroplastia en uretra fueron la presencia de comorbilidades, obesidad y etiología infecciosa. Concluimos entonces que la uretroplastia es un procedimiento que ha aumentado en los últimos años, con pocos estudios que nos comparan resultados dependiendo del tipo de procedimiento utilizado. Nuestra revisión encontró que hay mayor literatura sobre el uso de injertos de mucosa oral comparado con escición primaria y anastomosis (EPA), con unos resultados anatómicos y funcionales comparables entre ambos procedimientos. Los cuestionarios PROMS (Patient Reported Outcome Measures) son herramientas útiles para el seguimiento postoperatorio de estos pacientes.

Urethroplasty has become the standard for managing urethral stricture, depending on its location and etiology. Long-term outcome data varies depending on the definition of success used (subjective or objective). The objective of this integrative review is to show the available information on the functional results of patients with surgically managed urethral stricture. The study is an integrative review that was carried out through a literature search in PubMed, we included articles that described the results of patients undergoing urethral reconstruction with urethroplasty, only men, in English or Spanish, published between 1999-2022. The study included 34 articles, which showed that, depending on the type of procedure performed, the characteristics of the urethral stricture and the variables defined as success and failure, the risk factors associated with recurrence after reconstruction with urethroplasty in the urethra were the presence of comorbidities, obesity, and infectious etiology. In conclusion, urethroplasty is a procedure that has increased in recent years, with few studies that compare results depending on the type of procedure used. Our review found that there is more literature on the use of buccal mucosa graft (BMG) compared to excision and primary anastomotic urethroplasy (EPA), with comparable anatomical and functional results between both procedures.

Fathering children aged from 2 to 10: psychometric properties of the IFI-BR-27 / Paternidade com filhos entre 2 e 10 anos de idade: propriedades psicométricas do IFI-BR-27 / Paternidad con hijos de entre 2 y 10 años: propiedades psicométricas del IFI-BR-27

The Inventory of Father Involvement (IFI) was developed to examine paternal involvement among men with children from 5 to 10 years of age. However, father involvement affects child development starting in the child's infancy. In Brazil, a revised version of the instrument (called the IFI-BR-27) was developed to use with fathers of children in a wider age group (2 to 10 years). Thus, in this study we aimed to investigate evidence for validity of this revised version based on internal structure, measurement invariance, and evidence of convergent validity. For this purpose, 572 Brazilian fathers completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, the IFI-BR-27, and either the Father Engagement Questionnaire (FEQ; for fathers of children in early childhood education settings) or the Inventory of Parenting Practices (IPP; for fathers of children in elementary school). Results of confirmatory factor analyses indicated the plausibility of a second-order internal structure for the IFI-BR-27 (χ 2 / df = 3.526; CFI = .937; TLI = .929; RMSEA = .066). Composite reliability for the nine factors varied from .65 to .84. Invariance analyses indicated that the structure is independent of the child's educational setting. Evidence of convergent validity was also found ( r = .67 - FEQ; r = .58 - IPP). Therefore, the IFI-BR-27 is an adequate tool to assess the quality of father involvement for fathers of children in preschool or elementary school. The IFI-BR-27 can contribute to further scientific research, aiding in longitudinal studies, as well as helping professionals to evaluate and encourage specific dimensions of father involvement.(AU)

O Inventory of Father Involvement (IFI) foi desenvolvido para avaliar o envolvimento paterno de homens com filhos de 5 a 10 anos. No entanto, envolvimento paterno afeta o desenvolvimento de crianças desde a primeira infância. No Brasil, uma versão revisada dessa medida (chamada de IFI-BR-27) foi desenvolvida para uso com pais de crianças em uma faixa etária mais ampla (2 a 10 anos). O objetivo deste estudo foi, portanto, investigar evidências de validade dessa versão revisada com base na estrutura interna, invariância de medida e evidências de validade convergente. Para isso, 572 pais brasileiros preencheram um questionário sociodemográfico, o IFI-BR-27 e o Questionário de Engajamento Paterno (QEP; para pais com filhos no Ensino Infantil) e o Inventário de Práticas Parentais (IPP; para pais com filhos no Ensino Fundamental 1). Os resultados de análises fatoriais confirmatórias indicaram a plausibilidade de uma estrutura interna de segunda ordem para o IFI-BR-27 (χ 2 / gl = 3,526; CFI = 0,937; TLI = 0,929; RMSEA = 0,066). A confiabilidade composta para os nove fatores variou de 0,65 a 0,84. Análises de invariância indicaram que a estrutura é independente do ciclo escolar da criança. Também foram encontradas evidências de validade convergente ( r = 0,67 - QEP; r = 0,58 - IPP). Assim, considera-se o IFI-BR-27 uma medida adequada para avaliar a qualidade do envolvimento paterno de pais de crianças do Ensino Infantil ao Fundamental 1. O IFI-BR-27 poderá contribuir para melhorias científicas, viabilizando estudos longitudinais e ajudando profissionais a avaliar e promover dimensões específicas do envolvimento paterno.(AU)

El Inventory of Father Involvement (IFI) se desarrolló para evaluar la participación paterna en la crianza de hijos de entre 5 y 10 años de edad. Es sabido que la participación paterna contribuye al desarrollo infantil desde la primera infancia. En Brasil, una versión brasileña de este instrumento (la IFI-BR-27) se desarrolló para aplicarse a padres con hijos de un grupo de edad más amplio (de 2 a 10 años). Este estudio tuvo por objetivo comprobar evidencia de validez de esta versión revisada con base en la estructura interna, la invariancia del instrumento y la evidencia de validez convergente. Para ello, 572 padres brasileños completaron un cuestionario sociodemográfico, el IFI-BR-27 y el Cuestionario de Involucramiento Paterno (CIP; para padres de niños en el jardín de infantes) y el Inventario de Prácticas Parentales (IPP; para padres de niños en la primaria). Los resultados de los análisis factoriales confirmatorios indicaron la plausibilidad de una estructura interna de segundo orden para el IFI-BR-27 (χ 2 / gl = 3,526; CFI = 0,937; TLI = 0,929; RMSEA =0,066). La confiabilidad compuesta para los nueve factores varió de 0,65 a 0,84. Los análisis de invariancia indicaron que la estructura es independiente del ciclo educativo del niño. También se encontró evidencia de validez convergente ( r =0,67 - CIP; r = 0,58 - IPP). Por lo tanto, el IFI-BR-27 es un instrumento adecuado para evaluar la calidad de participación paterna de padres con hijos en edad preescolar o en la primaria. El IFI-BR-27 permitirá un mayor desarrollo científico, permitiendo estudios longitudinales y ayudando a los profesionales a evaluar y fomentar dimensiones específicas de participación paterna.(AU)

Avaliação e ensino de emoções com crianças e jovens adultos com autismo ou síndrome de down mediado pela família / Assessment and teaching of emotions with children and young adults with autism or down syndrome mediated by family / Evaluación y enseñanza de las emociones con niños y jóvenes con autismo o síndrome de down mediadas por la familia

Este estudo avaliou o reconhecimento (imitação, identidade e identificação) e a nomeação de estímulos emocionais de valência negativa (raiva e tristeza) e positiva (alegria e surpresa) em conjunto com a influência dos tipos de estímulos utilizados (social-feminino, social-masculino, familiar e emoji) em crianças e jovens adultos com autismo ou síndrome de Down, por meio de tarefas aplicadas pela família e mediadas por recursos tecnológicos durante a pandemia de covid-19. Participaram cinco crianças e dois jovens adultos com autismo e uma criança e dois jovens adultos com síndrome de Down. Foram implementadas tarefas de identidade, reconhecimento, nomeação e imitação, com estímulos faciais de função avaliativa (sem consequência diferencial) e de ensino (com consequência diferencial, uso de dicas e critério de aprendizagem), visando a emergência da nomeação emocional por meio do ensino das tarefas de reconhecimento. Os resultados da linha de base identificaram que, para os participantes que apresentaram menor tempo de resposta para o mesmo gênero, a diferença de tempo de resposta foi em média 57,28% menor. Em relação à valência emocional, 50% dos participantes apresentaram diferenças nos acertos, a depender da valência positiva e negativa, sendo que 66,66% apresentaram diferenças para o tempo de resposta a depender da valência emocional. Após o procedimento de ensino, os participantes mostraram maior número de acertos nas tarefas, independentemente do gênero de estímulo e valência emocional, criando ocasião para generalização da aprendizagem de reconhecimento e nomeação de emoções, além de consolidar a viabilidade de estratégias de ensino mediadas por recursos tecnológicos e aplicadas por familiares.(AU)

This study evaluated the recognition (imitation, identity, and identification) and naming of negative (anger and sadness) and positive (joy and surprise) emotional stimuli alongside the influence of the types of stimuli (social-female, social-male, family, and emoji) in children and young adults with autism and Down syndrome, via tasks applied by the family and mediated by technological resources, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Five children and two young adults with autism and one child and two young adults with Down syndrome participated. Identity, recognition, naming, and imitation tasks were planned and implemented using facial stimuli with evaluative (without differential consequence) and teaching (with differential consequence, tips, and learning criteria) functions, aiming at the emergence of emotional naming from the recognition teaching tasks. The baseline results showed that, for participants who had a shorter response time for the same gender, the response time difference was on average 57.28% lower. Regarding the emotional valence, 50% of the participants showed differences in the correct answers, depending on the positive and negative valence, and 66.66% showed differences in the response time depending on the emotional valence. After the teaching procedure, the participants showed a greater number of correct answers in the tasks, regardless of the stimulus type and emotional valence, creating an opportunity for generalizing learning of emotion recognition and naming, in addition to consolidating the feasibility of teaching strategies mediated by technological resources and applied by family members.(AU)

Este estudio evaluó el reconocimiento (imitación, identidad e identificación) y la denominación de estímulos emocionales negativos (enfado y tristeza) y positivos (alegría y sorpresa) y la influencia de los tipos de estímulos utilizados (social-femenino, social-masculino, familiar y emoji ) de niños y jóvenes con autismo o síndrome de Down, a través de tareas aplicadas por la familia, mediadas por recursos tecnológicos durante la pandemia de la covid-19. Participaron cinco niños y dos adultos jóvenes con autismo, y un niño y dos adultos jóvenes con síndrome de Down. Se planificaron e implementaron tareas de identidad, reconocimiento, nombramiento e imitación con estímulos faciales con función evaluativa (sin consecuencia diferencial) y enseñanza (con consecuencia diferencial, uso de ayudas y criterios de aprendizaje), buscando la emergencia del nombramiento emocional después de la enseñanza de tareas de reconocimiento. Los resultados de la línea de base identificaron que para los participantes que tenían un tiempo de respuesta más corto para el mismo género, la diferencia en el tiempo de respuesta fue un 57,28% menor. En cuanto a la valencia emocional, el 50% de los participantes mostraron diferencias en las respuestas correctas, en función de la valencia positiva y negativa, y el 66,66% tuvieron diferencias en el tiempo de respuesta, en función de la valencia emocional. Después del procedimiento de enseñanza, los participantes mostraron mayor número de aciertos en las tareas evaluadas, independientemente del tipo de estímulo o valencia emocional, lo que genera una oportunidad para la generalización del aprendizaje de reconocimiento y denominación de emociones, además de consolidar la viabilidad de estrategias de enseñanza mediadas por recursos tecnológicos y aplicadas por la familia.(AU)

Tips para un apropiado desenlace con el uso de las prótesis de pene / Tips for a proper outcome with the use of penile prostheses

Las prótesis peanas marcaron un cambio importante en la historia del manejo de la disfunción eréctil, principalmente en hombres refractarios a otros métodos existentes. En la actualidad se cuenta con tres opciones de implantes de prótesis peneanas: prótesis de dos piezas, de tres piezas y las semirrígidas; cada una de ellas con una indicación específica. Existen también diferentes tipos de abordajes quirúrgicos, de los cuales los más usados son el abordaje penoescrotal y suprapúbico. En cuanto a las complicaciones quirúrgicas, la infección es una de las más frecuentes, por lo que se han desarrollado implantes impregnados con antibióticos e implantes irrigables con solución antibiótica y/o antifúngicas a elección con el fin de mitigar la infección, puesto que se ha reportado que los dispositivos recubiertos reducen la incidencia de infección del dispositivo en aproximadamente un 50%, al igual que la implementación de otras técnicas como la de no tocar para reducir la infección. La prótesis peneana es una estrategia efectiva para el tratamiento de la disfunción eréctil en hombres refractarios a otras intervencione

Penile prostheses marked an important change in the history of erectile dysfunction management, mainly in men refractory to other existing methods. Currently, there are three options for penile prosthesis implants, which are: two-piece, three-piece and semi-rigid prostheses; each with a specific indication. There are also different types of surgical approaches, of which the most used are the penoscrotal and suprapubic approaches. Regarding surgical complications, infection is one of the most frequent, which is why implants impregnated with antibiotics and irrigable implants with antibiotic and/or antifungal solution of choice have been developed to mitigate infection, since it has been Coated devices have been reported to reduce the incidence of device infection by approximately 50%, as has the implementation of other techniques such as no-touch to reduce infection. Objective: This review aims to provide a detailed contextualization on the surgical management of erectile dysfunction with penile prosthesis implants, placement indications, types of prosthesis, placement tips, most used surgical approaches, and prevention of complications; with the objective of educating doctors and health personnel to become familiar with the procedure, better guide patients, and increase their satisfaction. Conclusions: The penile prosthesis is an effective strategy for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men refractory to other interventions

Inserção do homem na enfermagem universitária piauiense / Inserting man in nursing academic level in the State of Piauí, Brazil / Inserción de hombres en la enfermería universitaria en el Estado de Piauí, Brasil

Objetivo: analisar a inserção do homem, por meio do registro profissional, na enfermagem piauiense. Método: estudo de natureza sócio-histórica fundamentado por pressupostos de Aróstegui, conduzido a partir do número de inscrições no Conselho Regional de Enfermagem do Piauí do período de 1975 a 2021. Os dados foram organizados por ordem cronológica e de acordo com o gênero do inscrito, com análise pautada nos conceitos de Edward Palmer Thompson. Resultados: apesar da primeira inscrição masculina ocorrer apenas em 1979, percebe-se que, desde então, ocorreu um aumento progressivo de homens na enfermagem. Tal progressão é justificada pela reforma universitária, que deu origem a Universidade Federal do Piauí; além da criação do Sistema COFEN/COREN. Considerações finais: a inserção do homem na enfermagem piauiense ocorreu de forma lenta e desigual, quando comparada ao sexo feminino. Fatores sócio-políticos, econômicos e sociais foram essenciais para justificar o crescimento(AU)

Objective: analyze the insertion of men, through professional registration, in nursing in Piauí, Brazil. Method: socio-historical study based on Aróstegui's assumptions, conducted from the number of registrations in the Regional Council of Nursing of Piauí from 1975 to 2021. The data were organized in chronological order and according to the gender of the participant, with analysis based on the concepts of Edward Palmer Thompson. Results: despite the fact that the first male enrollment occurred only in 1979, it is clear that, since then, there has been a progressive increase in the number of men in nursing. Such progression is justified by the university reform, which gave rise to the Federal University of Piauí; in addition to the creation of the COFEN/COREN System. Final considerations: the insertion of men in nursing in Piauí occurred slowly and unevenly, when compared to women. Socio-political, economic and social factors were essential to justify the growth(AU)

Educação escolar no Paraguai: análise da atuação de professores homens com pessoas com deficiência / School education in Paraguay and male teaching: analysis of the performance of male teachers with people with disabilities / La educación escolar en Paraguay y la docencia masculina: análisis del desempeño de maestros varones con personas con discapacidad

O estudo teve por objetivo averiguar como é a educação especial paraguaia e qual a visão da comunidade escolar de Salto Del Guairá ­ PY acerca da atuação de professores homens com crianças com deficiência. A pesquisa de campo foi realizada mediante gravação de entrevistas com uma Supervisora Pedagógica municipal, responsável por 17 instituições escolares de Salto Del Guairá, e uma mãe que reside no mesmo município e tem uma filha com deficiência, que estudou com um docente masculino em uma instituição inclusiva brasileira, em um município que faz fronteira com o Paraguai. Os resultados evidenciam que a Educação Especial paraguaia tem uma proposta que prevê o atendimento a pessoas com deficiência, mas na prática acaba não se concretizando, devido à falta de infraestrutura. A cultura paraguaia reproduz alguns padrões sociais de gênero e, desse modo, foi identificado um certo receio dos familiares quanto a atuação do docente masculino com crianças com deficiência.(AU)

The study aimed to find out what Paraguayan special education is like and what is the view of the school community of Salto Del Guairá - PY about the performance of male teachers with children with disabilities. The field research was carried out by recording interviews with a municipal Pedagogical Supervisor, responsible for 17 school institutions in Salto Del Guairá, and a mother who lives in the same municipality and has a disabled daughter, who studied with a male teacher at an institution inclusive, in a municipality bordering Paraguay. The results show that Paraguayan Special Education has a proposal that provides assistance to people with disabilities, but in practice it does not materialize, due to the lack of infrastructure. Paraguayan culture reproduces some social patterns of gender and, thus, a certain fear of family members was identified regarding the role of male teachers with children with disabilities.(AU)

El estudio tuvo como objetivo conocer cómo es la educación especial paraguaya y cuál es la visión de la comunidad escolar de Salto Del Guairá - PY sobre el desempeño de maestros varones con niños con discapacidad. La investigación de campo se llevó a cabo mediante la grabación de entrevistas con un Supervisor Pedagógico municipal, responsable de 17 instituciones escolares en Salto del Guairá, y una madre que vive en el mismo municipio y tiene una hija discapacitada, quien estudió con un maestro en una institución. inclusive, en un municipio fronterizo con Paraguay. Los resultados muestran que Educación Especial paraguaya tiene una propuesta que brinda asistencia a personas con discapacidad, pero en la práctica no se materializa, por falta de infraestructura. La cultura paraguaya reproduce algunos patrones sociales de género y, por lo tanto, se identificó cierto temor de los miembros de la familia con respecto al rol de los maestros con niños con discapacidad.(AU)

Leveraging men's education as an effective pathway for improving diet quality: Evidence from rural India.

Investing in nutrition sensitive sectors such as education can be an effective strategy for combatting malnutrition. In this paper we analyze the role that men's education plays in determining dietary diversity outcomes using primary data from 3600 households across four districts of India. Dietary diversity scores were calculated to reflect the quality of food intake, for households and women. Men's education level was considered as the primary driver of diet diversity. To establish a causal link between men's education and diet diversity, the education level of parents and siblings were used as instrumental variables. We find that men's education levels are associated with significantly higher diet diversity scores both for the household and for women. The role of men's education continues to be a significant determinant of diet quality after controlling for household and individual- level confounding factors including the education level of the woman. The results are consistent across different definitions of the diet diversity score and reference period. Methodologically we extend the evidence on the education-nutrition pathway from being associational to causal in nature. Results from this study point to the benefits of leveraging men's education as an effective pathway for improving nutritional outcomes within households.

An Exploration of Black Men's Attitudes and Experiences Communicating with Dentists about Oral and Pharyngeal Cancer.

BACKGROUND: Poor oral and pharyngeal cancer (OPC) survival among Black men is partially due to their limited knowledge about OPCs, which is exacerbated by dentists' limited training and discomfort in discussing OPC risk factors. The purpose of this study was to assess the attitudes and experiences that Black men have communicating with dentists about OPCs. METHODS: To qualitatively assess these attitudes and experiences, a focus group guide and recruitment strategy were developed using a community engagement approach. Data were analyzed using grounded theory. RESULTS: Twenty-three self-identified Black men participated in three focus groups through the Zoom platform (mean age of 46.1 years). Four main themes emerged, which identified that participants: (1) had little knowledge of OPCs; (2) felt that addressing OPC risk among Black men was not a priority for dentists; (3) stressed the importance of dentists acknowledging the complexity of how race and gender affects Black men's healthcare experiences; and (4) expressed a benefit to receiving information from multiple social networks. CONCLUSION: The focus groups provided context for how dentists might engage with Black men in discussions about OPC prevention and treatment.

Connecting Masculinities to Men's Illness Vulnerabilities and Resilience.

Men's illness vulnerabilities and resilience are two predominant and regularly linked constructs in the masculinities and men's health literature. There has been a steady stream of men's strength-based vulnerabilities in the form of illness testimonials amid critiques that such disclosures are mere props for bolstering patriarchal power. The current article presents secondary analyses of case studies with four participants who took part in wide-ranging qualitative health studies to detail diverse connections between masculinities and men's illness vulnerabilities and resilience. Prostate cancer-related vulnerabilities feature in the first case study where Arthur's resilience for reclaiming his erectile function post-prostatectomy mobilizes an objection masculinity contesting his marginality. In the second case study, Chuck's vulnerabilities are conceded as permanent flowing from his severe mental illness, a positionality situating resilience as obligatory for his survival. Here, Chuck embodies a resignate masculinity that accepts but works to manage the harms of his subordinate status. In the aftermath of his young son's suicide, Jack laments that he did not model vulnerabilities. Resilience for understanding his loss influences a reimagined masculinity where Jack contemplates changes to gender norms for his and other men's lives. Lastly, Sami replaces maladaptive actions for dousing vulnerabilities incurred through a partner-initiated separation with resilience for self-growth. Aspiring progress masculinity, Sami deconstructs his emotions and behaviors to positively change how he shows up as a man, father, and partner. The case studies reveal connections between objection, resignate, reimagined, and progress masculinities and men's illness vulnerabilities and resilience to advance empirical, gender theory and methodological insights.

Perfil de homens autores de violência contra as mulheres: revisão sistemática da literatura brasileira / Profile of male perpetrators of violence against women: a systematic review of the Brazilian literature / Perfil de hombres autores de violencia contra las mujeres: una revisión sistemática de la literatura brasileña

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar o perfil dos homens autores de violência contra as mulheres na literatura científica brasileira, intencionando auxiliar no direcionamento de práticas socioeducativas das políticas públicas no enfren-tamento desse tipo de violência. O estudo proposto configura uma revisão sistemática realizada por meio dos descritores "violência contra a mulher", "autor de violência", "violência por parceiro íntimo" e "violência doméstica contra a mulher". As bases de dados pesquisadas foram: SciELO, Oasisbr e BVS, compondo a amostra final de 15 artigos. Diante dos estudos que compuseram o estudo, verifica-se características como idade, situação laboral, escolari-dade, uso de álcool e outras drogas, além de histórico de violência familiar. Evidencia-se que o perfil identificado neste artigo apresenta divergências entre pontos das pesquisas nacionais realizadas. Com isso, recomenda-se a formu-lação de um instrumento que uniformize as investigações acerca da temática, assim como a participação ativa de homens autores de violência nas pesquisas. (AU)

This study aims to analyze the profile of men who commit violence against women in Brazilian scientific literature, with the intention of aiding in the development of socio-educational practices within public policies to address this type of violence. The proposed study constitutes a systematic review conducted using the descriptors "violence against women," "perpetrators of violence," "intimate partner violence," and "domestic violence against women." The data-bases searched included SciELO, Oasisbr, and BVS, resulting in a final sample of 15 articles. Based on the studies included in the review, characteristics such as age, employment status, education, and substance use (including alcohol and other drugs), as well as a history of family violence were examined. It is evident that the profile identified in this article presents variations among different national research findings. Consequently, it is recommended to develop an instrument that standardizes investigations on this subject, as well as to actively involve male perpetrators of violence in research. (AU)
