ABSTRACT

Los pacientes con COVID-19 subsidiarios de ventilación mecánica (VM), evolucionan con consecuencias funcionales en la musculatura ventilatoria y apendicular que no necesariamente se abordan de manera diferenciada. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar el impacto de un programa de recuperación funcional en estos pacientes y determinar si las intervenciones afectan de manera diferenciada a las funciones ventilatorias y musculatura apendicular, utilizando pruebas de bajo costo. Se evaluaron 47 pacientes con COVID-19 que estuvieron en VM. Posterior a una espirometría basal se les realizó; presión inspiratoria máxima (PIMáx), fuerza de prensión palmar (FPP), prueba de pararse y sentarse (PPS) y Prueba de caminata en 6 minutos (PC6m), antes y después del plan de intervención. Este programa incluyó ejercicios aeróbicos y de fuerza supervisados por dos sesiones semanales de 60 minutos durante 3 meses. Después del programa, se observaron mejoras significativas en la capacidad vital forzada (CVF), el volumen espiratorio en el primer segundo (VEF1) y la PIMáx. Se encontraron relaciones significativas entre estas mediciones y la distancia recorrida de la PC6m, la FPP y la PPS. En conclusión, el programa de recuperación funcional en pacientes con COVID-19 que requirieron VM, beneficia tanto la función ventilatoria como la fuerza muscular apendicular. Las pruebas de fuerza muscular apendicular pueden ser útiles para evaluar la recuperación ya que pueden entregar información diferenciada de sus rendimientos. Por último, se necesita más investigación para comprender mejor la respuesta de estos pacientes a la rehabilitación.


SUMMARY: Patients with COVID-19 requiring mechanical ventilation (MV) evolve with functional consequences in the ventilatory and appendicular muscles that are not necessarily addressed in a differentiated manner. The objective of this research was to evaluate the impact of a functional recovery program in these patients and determine if the interventions differentially affect ventilatory functions and appendicular muscles, using low- cost tests. 47 patients with COVID-19 who were on MV were evaluated. After a baseline spirometry, they were performed; maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), handgrip strength (HGS), sit to stand test (STST) and 6-minute walk test (6MWT), before and after the intervention plan. This program included supervised aerobic and strength exercises for two weekly 60-minute sessions for 3 months. After the program, significant improvements were observed in forced vital capacity (FVC), expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) and MIP. Significant relationships were found between these measurements and the distance traveled of the 6MWT, the HGS and the STST. In conclusion, the functional recovery program in patients with COVID-19 who required MV benefits both ventilatory function and appendicular muscle strength. Appendicular muscle strength tests can be useful to evaluate recovery since they can provide differentiated information about your performances. Finally, more research is needed to better understand the response of these patients to rehabilitation.

ABSTRACT

A protective device was designed that can be worn on the elderly, which consists of protective airbag, control box and protective mechanism. The combined acceleration, combined angular velocity and human posture angle are selected as the parameters to determine the fall, and the threshold algorithm and SVM algorithm are used to detect the fall. The protective mechanism is an inflatable device based on CO2 compressed air cylinder, and the equal-width cam structure is applied to its transmission part to improve the puncture efficiency of the compressed gas cylinder. A fall experiment was designed to obtain the combined acceleration and angular velocity eigenvalues of fall actions (forward fall, backward fall and lateral fall) and daily activities (sitting-standing, walking, jogging and walking up and down stairs), showing that the specificity and sensitivity of the protection module reached 92.1% and 84.4% respectively, which verified the feasibility of the fall protection device.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES@#To investigate the effect of torso training on unstable surface on lower limb motor function in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury.@*METHODS@#A total of 80 patients with incomplete spinal cord injury caused by thoracolumbar fracture admitted in Ningbo Yinzhou No.2 Hospital from April 2020 to December 2021 were randomly divided into control group and study group, with 40 cases in each group. In addition to routine training, the control group received torso training on stable surface and the study group received torso training on unstable surface. The gait, lower limb muscle strength, balance function, lower limb function, mobility and nerve function of the two groups were compared.@*RESULTS@#After treatment, the stride length, stride frequency and comfortable walking speed improved in the two groups (all P<0.05), and the improvements in study group were more significant (all P<0.05). The muscle strength of quadriceps femoris, gluteus maximus, hamstring, anterior tibialis and gastrocnemius were improved in the two groups (all P<0.05), and the improvements in study group were more significant (all P<0.05); the total trajectories of static eye opening and static eye closing gravity center movement in the two groups were significantly shorter (all P<0.05), and the improvements in the study group were more significant (all P<0.05). The dynamic stability limit range and the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) lower extremity motor score, Berg balance scale, modified Barthel index scale in the two groups were significantly higher (all P<0.05), and these scores in study group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Both groups showed a significant improvement in ASIA grade (all P<0.05), and the improvement in the study group was significantly better (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Torso training on unstable surface can effectively improve the gait and lower limb muscle strength of patients with incomplete spinal cord injury and improve the lower limb motor function.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Oxygen consumption (VO2 ) is indicative of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and lower levels are related to a higher risk of total mortality among individuals with cancer whose therapy can have adverse consequences on the cardiovascular system. Objective: To examine the associations of patient-reported sociodemographic, clinical, anthropometric outcomes and functional variables with CRF in 69 women (55±10 years) and to identify whether walking is a predictor of peak VO2 variation in this population with breast cancer (BC). Method: Female BC survivors receiving hormone therapy after two types of surgery (breast-conserving and mastectomy) underwent a CRF test on a cycle ergometer to measure peak VO2 . A questionnaire containing sociodemographic, clinical data, patient reported outcomes (PROs) (depressive symptoms, sleep quality, fatigue, body image) and self-reported walking and tests to measure body fat percentage, waist circumference, flexibility and shoulder range of motion (RoM) were performed. Results: Unemployment and retirement were associated with low CRF, as was the use of aromatase inhibitors instead of tamoxifen. Depressive symptoms, worse body image, greater waist circumference, less flexibility and shoulder RoM were also associated with low CRF. Walking duration, controlled for age and body mass index (BMI), is a 13% predictor of peak VO2 variance in this sample. Conclusion: These factors must be considered in understanding the CRF profile of BC survivors. As walking was a predictor of peak VO2 variance, it should be recommended as a type of physical activity for patients with BC using hormone therapy.


Introdução: O consumo de oxigênio (VO2 ) é indicativo de aptidão cardiorrespiratória (ACR), e níveis mais baixos estão relacionados a um maior risco de mortalidade total entre indivíduos com câncer cuja terapia pode ter consequências adversas no sistema cardiovascular. Objetivo: Examinar as associações de desfechos sociodemográficos, clínicos, antropométricos relatados pelo paciente e variáveis funcionais com a ACR de 69 mulheres (55±10 anos), e identificar se a caminhada é um preditor de variação do pico de VO2 nessa população com câncer de mama (CM). Método: Mulheres sobreviventes de CM recebendo terapia hormonal após dois tipos de cirurgias (conservadora e mastectomia) realizaram um teste de ACR em cicloergômetro para medir o VO2 pico. Um questionário contendo dados sociodemográficos e clínicos; resultados relatados pelos pacientes (RRP) (sintomas depressivos, qualidade do sono, fadiga, imagem corporal); caminhada autorreferida; e testes para medir o percentual de gordura, circunferência da cintura, flexibilidade e amplitude do movimento ADM do ombro foram realizados. Resultados: Desemprego e aposentadoria foram associados à baixa ACR, assim como o uso de inibidores de aromatase ao invés de tamoxifeno. Sintomas depressivos, pior imagem corporal, maior circunferência da cintura, menor flexibilidade e ADM do ombro também foram associados à baixa ACR. A duração da caminhada, controlada por idade e índice de massa corporal (IMC), é um preditor de 13% da variância do VO2 pico nesta amostra. Conclusão: Tais fatores devem ser considerados na compreensão do perfil de ACR de sobreviventes de CM. Como a caminhada foi um preditor da variância do VO2 pico, deve ser recomendada atividade física para pacientes com CM em uso de hormonioterapia.

Método: Mujeres sobrevivientes de CM que recibieron terapia hormonal después de dos tipos de cirugía (conservadora y mastectomía) se sometieron a una prueba de ACR en un cicloergómetro para medir el VO2 máximo. Se aplicó un cuestionario que contenía datos sociodemográficos, clínicos, resultados informados por los pacientes (RIP) (síntomas depresivos, calidad del sueño, fatiga, imagen corporal) y caminata autoinformada y pruebas para medir el porcentaje de grasa corporal, la circunferencia de la cintura, la flexibilidad y el rango de movimiento (RoM) del hombro. Resultados: El desempleo y la jubilación se asociaron con una baja ACR, al igual que el uso de inhibidores de la aromatasa en lugar de tamoxifeno. Síntomas depresivos, peor imagen corporal, mayor perímetro de cintura, menor flexibilidad y RoM de los hombros también se asociaron con una baja ACR. La duración de la caminata, controlada por edad e índice de masa corporal (IMC), es un predictor del 13% de la variación del VO2 pico en esta muestra. Conclusión: Estos factores deben ser considerados para comprender el perfil de ACR de los sobrevivientes de CM. Como la caminata fue un predictor de la variación del VO2 pico, debe recomendarse actividad física para pacientes con CM en terapia hormonal.

ABSTRACT

Este discute a representatividade da disciplina Psicologia do Esporte nos cursos de Psicologia e Educação Física em instituições de ensino superior reconhecidas pelo MEC e situadas na região Sul do país. Foi realizado um estudo documental, com base nos currículos das Instituições. Os resultados revelaram que no Sul do Brasil 21,02% dos cursos de Psicologia, 41,96% dos cursos de bacharelado em Educação Física e apenas 14,83% dos cursos de licenciatura em Educação Física apresentam a disciplina Psicologia do Esporte em sua grade curricular. Observou-se que a disciplina é ofertada mais frequentemente em regime obrigatório nos cursos de bacharelado em Educação Física. Nos cursos de Psicologia, quando ofertada, costuma ser optativa. Os resultados evidenciam uma maior oferta da disciplina para os estudantes de Educação Física, em relação aos de Psicologia, o que pode estar relacionado ao próprio contexto de surgimento da disciplina e sua popularização no meio acadêmico. Para que esse panorama possa mudar e se possa oferecer uma formação adequada no curso de Psicologia para fomentar essa opção de carreira, há necessidade de se repensar o currículo e o próprio perfil do egresso, de forma a dar mais oportunidade aos estudantes para que conheçam as bases teóricas e os campos de aplicação da Psicologia do Esporte. Tal lacuna pode acarretar a fragilização da disseminação desse conhecimento aos estudantes de graduação e a consequente ocupação do mercado de trabalho.(AU)


This study discusses the representativeness of Sports Psychology in Psychology and Physical Education courses at higher education institutions from Southern Brazil. A documentary study was conducted based on the institutions' curricula. Results show that 21.02% of the Psychology major, 41.96% of the bachelor's in Physical Education, and only 14.83% of the license in Physical Education offer Sports Psychology in their curricula. Sports Psychology is most often offered as a compulsory subject in the bachelor's program in Physical Education, whereas Psychology courses offer it mainly as an elective. Physical Education students have greater contact with the discipline when compared with Psychology students, which may be explained by its context of development and popularization in the academic environment. To change this scenario and offer adequate education in the Psychology programs to foster this career option, institutions must rethink their curriculum and the graduate profile itself. This would give students better opportunity to get to know its theoretical bases and fields of application. Such a gap can hinder the dissemination of this knowledge to undergraduate students and the consequent labor market occupation.(AU)


El objetivo de este estudio es discutir la representatividad de la materia Psicología del Deporte en los cursos de Psicología y Educación Física en instituciones de educación superior de la región Sur de Brasil, reconocidas por el Ministerio de Educación (MEC). Se realizó un estudio documental, basado en los planes de estudio de las instituciones. Los resultados revelaron que, en el Sur de Brasil, el 21,02% de los cursos de Psicología, el 41,96% de los cursos de licenciatura en Educación Física y sólo el 14,83% de los cursos de profesorado en Educación tienen la materia Psicología del Deporte en sus planes de estudio. Se observó que la materia Psicología del Deporte se ofrece con mayor frecuencia como asignatura obligatoria en los cursos de licenciatura en Educación Física. Cuando se ofrece en los cursos de Psicología, es una materia optativa. Los resultados muestran una mayor oferta para los estudiantes de Educación Física en comparación con Psicología, lo que puede estar relacionado con el contexto del surgimiento de la Psicología del Deporte como materia y su popularización en el ámbito académico. Para que este escenario cambie y sea posible ofrecer una formación adecuada en el curso de Psicología con el fin de fomentar esta opción de carrera, es necesario repensar el plan de estudios y el perfil del egresado, así los estudiantes tendrán más oportunidades de conocer sus bases teóricas y sus campos de actuación. Tal brecha puede debilitar la difusión de este conocimiento a los estudiantes de grado y la consecuente ocupación en el mercado laboral.(AU)

ABSTRACT

O objetivo desta pesquisa é identificar e compreender fenomenologicamente, por meio de relato de Psicólogos de Esporte (PE) e de Coaches, em sua vivência prática, como ocorrem os processos reflexivos em sua atuação, conforme apreendidos a partir de relatos de experiências. O método de investigação escolhido foi a fenomenologia, pois oferece os recursos necessários para tal mergulho junto à experiência reflexiva. A amostra intencional foi delineada por PE e Coaches (profissionais de Educação Física que recorrem ao Coaching) em atividade em esportes de alto rendimento, que tenham atuado ou estejam atuando em modalidades esportivas coletivas e/ou individuais. Realizaram-se nove entrevistas (cinco com PE, quatro com Coaches). O acesso ao objeto desse estudo se deu por meio de entrevistas em profundidade e semiestruturadas, orientadas pela escuta suspensiva. As questões disparadoras foram formuladas com base no Procedimento Estruturado de Reflexão adaptado. Para análise das entrevistas, realizou-se uma síntese de cada relato, seguindo-se de cruzamento intencional. Como resultados, percebeu-se que PE e Coaches trazem algumas similaridades no que se refere aos modos de refletir sobre sua prática. No entanto, as experiências que eles fazem desses processos reflexivos é que podem tomar rumos distintos. Os(as) PE amparam-se na regulamentação da profissão e resguardam-se em seus apontamentos, trazendo suas experiências e reflexões sobre os processos vividos. Os(as) Coaches trazem em suas explanações um trabalho coerente, organizado e compatível com o método do Coaching. Problematizar os processos reflexivos desses profissionais permite diferenciar qualitativa e eticamente suas atuações, possibilitando o fomento multiprofissional no esporte.(AU)


The aim of this study consists in phenomenologically identifying and understanding, by the report of Sport Psychologists (SP) and coaches, in their practical experience, how would be the reflexive processes that take place in their performance, as learned from reports of their experiences. The research method chosen was phenomenology, since it offers the necessary resources for such a dive along with the reflective experience. The intentional sample was outlined by SP and coaches (Physical Education professionals who use coaching) active in high performance sports, who have or are working in collective and/or individual sports. Nine interviews were conducted (five with SP, four with coaches). Access to the object of this study took place by in-depth and semi-structured interviews, guided by suspensive listening. The triggering questions were formulated based on the adapted Structured Reflection Procedure. For the analysis of the interviews, a synthesis of each report was carried out, followed by the intentional crossing. As results, it was noticed that SP and coaches bring some similarities regarding the ways of reflecting on their practice. However, their experiences of these reflective processes are that they can take different directions. The SP are based on the regulation of the profession and guard themselves in their notes, bringing their experiences and reflections on the processes experienced. Coaches bring in their explanations a coherent, organized, and compatible work with the coaching method. Problematizing the reflective processes of these professionals allows to differentiate their actuation qualitatively and ethically, making the multiprofessional phenomenon in sport possible.(AU)


El objetivo de este estudio consiste en identificar y comprender fenomenológicamente, a partir de la experiencia práctica de psicólogos del deporte (PD) y coaches, cómo serían los procesos reflexivos que se llevan a cabo en su rendimiento, tal y como se desprende de los informes de experiencias. El método de investigación elegido fue la fenomenología, ya que ofrece los recursos necesarios junto con la experiencia. La muestra intencional fue delineada por PD y coaches (profesionales de la educación física que utilizan el coaching) activos en deportes de alto rendimiento, que tienen o están trabajando en deportes colectivos e/o individuales. Se realizaron nueve entrevistas (cinco con PD, cuatro con coaches). El acceso al objeto de este estudio fue entrevistas en profundidad y semiestructuradas, guiadas por escuchas suspensivas. Las preguntas se formularon desde el procedimiento de reflexión estructurado adaptado. Para el análisis de las entrevistas, se hizo una síntesis de cada informe, seguida del cruce intencional. Como resultados, se notó que los PD y coaches tienen algunas similitudes con respecto a las formas de reflexionar sobre su práctica. Sin embargo, las experiencias que hacen de estos procesos pueden tomar diferentes direcciones. Los(las) PD se basan en la regulación de la profesión y se protegen en sus notas, aportando sus experiencias y reflexiones sobre los procesos vividos. Los(las) coaches plantean en sus explicaciones un trabajo coherente, organizado y compatible con el método de Coaching. Problematizar los procesos reflexivos de estos profesionales permite diferenciar sus acciones de manera cualitativa y ética, además de posibilitar la promoción multiprofesional en el deporte.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Background@#A daily habit of yogic practice or walking, along with an oral hypoglycemic agent (OHA) could be beneficial for better control of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to find out the efficiency of yoga or walking on glycemic control in T2DM.@*Methodology@#The present systematic review and meta-analysis were completed according to the PRISMA guidelines. The risk of bias in included studies was evaluated, by using the revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials. Meta-analysis was implemented using RevMan software. Forest plots were used to illustrate the study findings and meta-analysis results.@*Results@#Sixteen studies were included in this systematic review, where 1820 participants were allocated to one of the following interventions: yoga, walking, and without any regular exercise (control group). Participants were between 17–75 years of age. Compared to the control group, the yoga group had a significant reduction in fasting blood glucose (FBG) by 31.98 mg/dL (95% CI,–47.93 to –16.03), postprandial blood glucose (PPBG) by 25.59 mg/dL (95% CI, –44.00 to –7.18], glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc) by 0.73% (95% CI, –1.24 to -0.22), fasting insulin by 7.19 μIU/mL (95% CI, –12.10 to –2.28), and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) by 3.87 (95% CI, –8.40 to -0.66). Compared to the control group, the walking group had a significant reduction in FBG by 12.37 mg/dL (95% CI, –20.06 to –4.68) and HbA1c by 0.35% (95% CI, –0.70 to –0.01). Compared to the walking group, the yoga group had a significant reduction in FBG by 12.07 mg/dL (95% CI, –24.34 to – 0.20), HbA1c by 0.20% (95% CI, –0.37 to –0.04), fasting insulin by 10.06 μIU/mL (95% CI, –23.84 to 3.71) and HOMA-IR by 5.97 (95% CI, –16.92 to 4.99).@*Conclusions@#Yoga or walking with OHA has positive effects on glycemic control. For the management of T2DM, yoga has relatively more significant effects on glycemic control than walking.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background: Maximum oxygen consumption is an indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness. Aim: The purpose was, first, to relate and compare the V̇O2max as the dependent variable with the estimated distance in the six-minute walk test (SMWT) as the independent variable in university students and, secondly, to relate the distance (dependent) with demographic and anthropometric variables (independents). Methodology: A correlational, descriptive, and quantitative study with a non-experimental design was conducted on 110 university students. In the study, basic anthropometry and vital signs were measured. A direct method of V̇O2max (Bruce test) on a treadmill was applied. Then, the distance covered in the SMWT was evaluated with two equations available in the scientific literature. Differences between men and women were measured in the tests, the correlation between the distances estimated with V̇O2max and anthropometric variables, and repeated ANOVA measurement tests between V̇O2max and estimated distance were analyzed with the SPSS v.22 program (p<0.05). Results: Significant correlations were found between V̇O2max and estimated distances (p<0.05) in the total sample, men and women, and in some cases, the distance correlated with gender, age, weight, height, and BMI (p<0.05). However, there were differences between V̇O2max and distances estimated in the SMWT (p<0.001). Conclusions: The V̇O2max measurement method is different from the distance prediction equations, although they have a significant relationship.


Resumen Antecedentes: El consumo máximo de oxígeno es un indicador de la aptitud cardiorrespiratoria. Objetivo: El objetivo fue relacionar y comparar el V̇O2máx. como variable dependiente con la distancia estimada en la prueba de caminata de seis minutos (PC6M) como variable independiente en estudiantes universitarios, a la vez relacionar la distancia (dependiente) con variables demográficas y antropométricas (independientes). Metodología: Estudio cuantitativo, no experimental, transversal, y descriptivo-correlacional en el que participaron 110 estudiantes universitarios. Se midió antropometría básica y signos vitales, y se aplicó un método directo de V̇O2máx. (Test de Bruce) en cinta rodante, luego se estimó la distancia recorrida en PC6M con dos ecuaciones disponibles en la literatura. Diferencias entre hombres y mujeres en las pruebas aplicadas, correlación entre las distancias estimadas con el V̇O2máx. y variables antropométricas, y la prueba de ANOVA de medidas repetidas entre el V̇O2máx. y las distancias estimadas fueron utilizadas con el programa SPSS v.22 (p<0,05). Resultados: Se encontró correlaciones significativas entre el V̇O2máx. y distancias estimadas (p<0,05) en la muestra, en hombres y mujeres, y en algunos casos la distancia se correlacionó con el sexo, la edad, el peso, la estatura y el IMC (p<0,05). Sin embargo, hubo diferencias entre el V̇O2máx. y las distancias estimadas en la PC6M (p<0,001). Conclusiones: El método directo de V̇O2máx. es distinto de las ecuaciones de predicción de distancia, aunque tienen relación significativa.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Se evaluó el efecto de las medidas implementadas durante la pandemia de COVID-19 sobre el nivel de actividad física (AF) y el tiempo de sedentarismo (TS) en dos semanas consecutivas con distintos grados de restricciones.Materiales y métodos: Se aplicó el cuestionario International Physical Activity Questionnaire versión corta (IPAQ-S) Se recabaron datos demográficos y referentes al nivel de AF y al TS de los individuos en dos fases de restricción: fase 1 (F1), de confinamiento estricto y fase 3 (F3), de menores restricciones.Resultados: Respondieron a la encuesta 1746 individuos, 1178 mujeres (68%) y 568 hombres (32%). La edad media de la población fue de 32 ±14 años. Al aplicar el cuestionario IPAQ-S correspondiente a la semana de F3, se encontró un 16% de personas físicamente inactivas mientras que en la semana de F1, fue de 33% La AF disminuyó cuando se implementaron mayores restricciones, tanto en hombres como en mujeres y en distintos rangos etarios. En los sujetos menores de 25 años se produjo la disminución más importante en el porcentaje de AF moderada e intensa al aumentar las restricciones (90% vs 69%, p= 0,000). El TS fue mayor en F1 respecto de F3 (22% vs 18%, p= 0,000), tanto de hombres como de mujeres. Conclusiones: Las medidas implementadas para mitigar la diseminación del COVID-19 tuvieron un impacto negativo sobre el nivel de AF en la población estudiada que mostró también un aumento del TS. Resulta especialmente preocupante la disminución del nivel de AF en el grupo de jóvenes (AU)


Introduction: We assess the effect of the measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic on the level of physical activity (PA) and the time of sedentarism (TS) in two consecutive weeks with different degrees of restrictions.Materials and methods: We use The International Physical Activity Questionnaire short version (IPAQ-S). We collected demographic data and data related to physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST) developed by individuals in two phases of restriction: Phase 1 (P1), strict confinement and Phase 3 (P3), with fewer restrictions. Results: 1746 individuals responded to the survey, 1178 women (68%) and 568 men (32%). The mean age of the population was 32 ±14 years. 79% of the individuals were residents of the city of Bahía Blanca. When applying the IPAQ-S questionnaire corresponding to the week of P 3, we found that physically inactive people were 16%. When the IPAQ-S was applied to the week corresponding to P 1, the percentage of physically inactive people was 33%. A statistically significant decrease in the time spent on PA was observed when greater restrictions were implemented, both in men and women and in different age ranges. In subjects under 25 years of age, the most important decrease in the percentage of moderate and intense PA occurred when restrictions were increased (90% vs 69%, p= 0.000). ST was higher in P1 versus P3 (22% vs 18%, p= 0,000) both in men and women. Conclusions: The measures implemented to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 had a negative impact on the level of PA in the population studied, which also showed an increase in sedentary time. Is especially concerning the decrease in the PA level in the group of young people (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: las enfermedades pulmonares pueden generar hospitalizaciones, estancias prolongadas, complicaciones e inclusive la muerte. Estas enfermedades repercuten negativamente en la capacidad inspiratoria y en la calidad de vida. Por lo tanto, el presente artículo pretende analizar los efectos del Método JaPer sobre la capacidad inspiratoria de los pacientes hospitalizados. Material y métodos: ensayo clínico aleatorizado inicialmente con 653 pacientes hospitalizados que pasó a 587 distribuidos en 2 grupos (Grupo experimental-GE: Método JaPer vs Grupo control-GC: uso convencional de inspirómetro volumétrico). Se determinó la capacidad inspiratoria máxima, caminata de los 6 minutos, antropometría y un cuestionario creado por los autores. Se aplicó un programa de entrenamiento de 2 semanas de 3 sesiones por día. Al GE se le aplicó el Método Japer con protocolo estandarizado para hacer ejercicios entre el 50 y el 80 % de la capacidad inspiratoria máxima del paciente y a los pacientes del GC se les realizó incentivo inspiratorio a inspiración máxima. Resultados: 587 pacientes (F:300 vs M:287) con edad promedio de 53.61±14.24 años, entre los cuales el 9.88 % tenía bajo peso, 17.89 % peso normal y el 27.26 % y 44.97 % sobrepeso y obesidad, respectivamente. Todos los participantes realizaron una caminata de 6 minutos para determinar los metros recorridos (GE: 387.70±47.59 vs GC: 371.30±49.10), velocidad (GE: 64.62±7.93 vs GC: 61.88±8.18) y el Vo2 estimado (GE: 9.96±0.79 vs GC: 9.69±0.82). Todas las variables y la capacidad inspiratoria máxima (GE: 1708.54±707.84 vs GC: 1448.83±692.79) determinaron pre y post entrenamiento. Conclusiones: el Método JaPer obtuvó mejores resultados en todas las variables evaluadas con diferencia significativa (p= <0.05) frente al grupo control, resaltando que la capacidad inspiratoria máxima aumentó en ambos grupos (GE:44 % vs GC:28 %; p= <0.05).


Introduction: Pulmonary diseases can generate hospitalizations, prolonged stays, complications and even death. These diseases have a negative impact on inspiratory capacity and quality of life. Therefore, this paper tries to analyze the effects of the JaPer method on the inspiratory capacity of hospitalized patients. Materials and methods: Randomized clinical trial initially with 653 patients, which went on to 587 hospitalized patients distributed in 2 groups (Experimental group: JaPer Method vs. Control group: Conventional use of volumetric inspirometer). Maximum inspiratory capacity, 6-minute walk, anthropometry, and a questionnaire created by the authors were determined. A 2-week training program of 3 sessions per day was applied. The GE applied the Japer Method with a standardized protocol to exercise between 50 and 80% of the patient's maximum inspiratory capacity, and the CG underwent inspiratory incentive at maximum inspiration. Results: 587 patients (F:300 vs M:287) with a mean age of 53.61±14.24 years and 9.88% of the population were underweight, 17.89% normal weight and 27.26% and 44.97% overweight and obese, respectively. All participants performed a 6-minute walk to determine meters traveled (GE: 387.70±47.59 vs CG: 371.30±49.10), speed (GE: 64.62±7.93 vs CG: 61.88±8.18) and estimated VO2 (GE: 9.96 ±0.79 vs CG: 9.69±0.82). All variables and maximal inspiratory capacity (GE: 1708.54±707.84 vs CG: 1448.83±692.79) were determined before and after training. Conclusions: The JaPer method obtained better results in all the variables evaluated with a significant difference (p=<0.05) compared to the control group. Highlighting that the maximum inspiratory capacity increased in both groups (GE:44% vs CG:28%; p=<0.05).

ABSTRACT

Introducción: la enfermedad por COVID-19 puede provocar una gran variedad de problemas de salud a largo plazo, como deterioro de la función pulmonar, reducción del rendimiento del ejercicio y disminución de la calidad de vida. Nuestro estudio tuvo como objetivo investigar la eficacia, viabilidad y seguridad de la rehabilitación pulmonar en pacientes con COVID-19 y comparar los resultados entre pacientes con un curso leve/moderado y grave/crítico de la enfermedad. Material y métodos: los pacientes en la fase posaguda de un curso leve a crítico de COVID-19 ingresados en un programa integral de rehabilitación pulmonar, se incluyeron en este estudio de cohorte prospectivo y observacional. Se evaluaron antes y después varias medidas de rendimiento del ejercicio, distancia de caminata de 6 minutos, función pulmonar (capacidad vital forzada (CVF)) y calidad de vida (encuesta de salud de formato corto de 36 preguntas (SF-36)). Se incluyeron 43 pacientes en el estudio (20 con COVID leve/moderado y 23 con COVID grave/crítico). Resultados: al ingreso los pacientes tenían una distancia de caminata reducida (leve: mediana 401 m, rango intercuartílico (IQR) 335-467 m; severo: 108 m, 84-132 m); una CVF deteriorada (leve: 72 %, severo: 35 %), y una puntuación baja de salud mental SF-36 (leve: 52 puntos, severo: 32 puntos. Los pacientes recibieron sesiones ajustadas a sus capacidades físicas y en ambos subgrupos mejoraron en la prueba de caminata de 6 minutos (leve/moderada: +54 m, severo/crítico: +117 m, ambos p <0.002), en CVF (leve/moderada: + 8.9 % , p = 0.004; severo/crítico: + 12.4 %, p <0.003) y en el componente mental SF-36 (leve / moderado: +6.8 puntos, p = 0.062; severo/crítico: +16.7 puntos, -p <0,005). Discusión y conclusiones: un programa de ejercicio bien estructurado resulta en un beneficio en las esferas de capacidad aeróbica, volúmenes pulmonares y calidad de vida; en tal sentido, se recomienda ampliar las muestras poblacionales para poder aplicar nuestro protocolo a otros centros encargados de la rehabilitación de pacientes con COVID-19.


Introduction: COVID-19 disease can cause a wide variety of long-term health problems, such as impaired lung function, reduced exercise performance, and decreased quality of life. Our study aimed to investigate the efficacy, feasibility, and safety of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with COVID-19 and to compare the results between patients with a mild/moderate and severe/critical course of the disease. Materials and Methods: Patients in the post-acute phase of a mild to critical course of COVID-19 admitted to a comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation program were included in this prospective, observational cohort study. Various measures of exercise performance, 6-minute walk distance, lung function (forced vital capacity (FVC)), and quality of life (36-question short-form health survey (SF-36)) were assessed before and after. We include 43 patients in this study (20 with mild/moderate COVID and 23 with severe/critical COVID-19). Results: At admission, patients had reduced walking distance (mild: median 401 m, interquartile range (IQR) 335-467 m; severe: 108 m, 84-132 m), impaired FVC (mild: 72%, severe: 35%,) and a low SF-36 mental health score (mild: 52 points, severe: 32 points). This patients received sessions adjusted to their physical abilities, and in both subgroups the patients improved on the walking test of 6 min (mild/moderate: +54m, severe/critical: +117m, both p < 0.002), FVC (mild/moderate: +8.9%, p=0.004; severe/critical: +12.4%, p <0.003) and mental component SF-36 (mild / moderate: +6.8 points, p = 0.062; severe / critical: +16.7 points, -p <0.005). Discussion and Conclusions: A well-structured exercise program results in a benefit in the patients' spheres of aerobic capacity, lung volumes and quality of life, in this sense it is recommended to expand population samples to be able to apply our protocol to other centers in charge of the rehabilitation of COVID 19 patients.

ABSTRACT

Introduction Walking speed is related to functionality in daily activities. Preventive Medicine Examination of the Chilean older adults is a vital prevention program for Chilean community- dwelling older adults. However, this evaluation does not include speed in its battery of tests. Objective To evaluate the functional classification spaces for threshold, reference, and categorization val-ues of self- selected and maximum walking speed applied to self- sufficient older adults. Methods Seventy- two self- sufficient older adults participated in this observational, exploratory, and cross- sectional study. Each participant was asked to walk naturally and then at full speed for three minutes. Through a dispersion graph between self- selected walking speed (axis "x") and maximum walking speed (axis "y"), functional classification spaces were constructed according to documented values for i) thresholds of basic functionality, ii) referential for the instrumental spectrum and iii) functional categorization for "household walker" (< 0.4 meters per second, m/s), "limited community ambulator" (0.40 to 0.80 m/s), "community ambulator" (0.81 to 1.3 m/s), and "cross street safely" (> 1.3 m/s). The relative frequency (%) of older adults who meet each established quadrant was determined. Results The threshold was reached by 100% of the participants (basic daily activities). About 80% of the older adults have a functional classification space below the reference limit (instrumental and advanced daily activities). It was also found that 81% of women and 69% of men are "efficient in the community", and 31% of men and 14% of women reach the minimum value for "effec-tive street crossing" (advanced daily activities). Conclusions The exploration of functional classification spaces according to self- selected walking speed and maximum walking speed applied to a group of self- sufficient older adults reveals that this pop-ulation is at risk of deteriorating instrumental and advanced activities of daily living.


Introducción La velocidad de marcha se relaciona con la funcionalidad en actividades cotidianas. El Examen de Medicina Preventiva del Adulto Mayor es un hito relevante en la prevención de adultos mayores chilenos de la comunidad. Sin embargo, no incorpora a la velocidad dentro de su batería de pruebas. Objetivo Evaluar una propuesta complementaria al Examen de Medicina Preventiva del Adulto Mayor según Espacios de Clasificación Funcional para valores umbrales, referenciales y de categorización de velocidad de marcha confortable y máxima aplicada a personas mayores autovalentes. Métodos Participaron en este estudio observacional, exploratorio y transversal 72 adultos mayores autovalentes. Se solicitó a cada participante caminar naturalmente y luego a máxima velocidad durante 3 minutos. A través de un gráfico de dispersión entre velocidad de mar-cha confortable (eje "x") y máxima (eje "y"), se construyeron Espacios de Clasificación Funcional según valores documentados para i) umbrales de funcionalidad básica, ii) referenciales para el espectro instrumental y iii) categorización funcional para actividades "dentro del hogar" (< 0,4 m/s), "limitadas en la comunidad" (0,40 a0,80 m/s), "eficiente en la comunidad" (0,81 a1,3 m/s) y "cruce seguro de calles" (> 1,3 m/s). Se determinó la frecuencia relativa (%) de adultos mayores que cumplen con cada cuadrante establecido. Resultados El umbral fue sobrepasado por el 100% de los participantes (actividades cotidianas básicas). Cerca del 80% de los participantes presenta un Espacio de Clasificación Funcional bajo el límite de referencia (actividades cotidianas instrumentales y avanzadas). El 81% de las mujeres y el 69% de los hombres, se encuentran dentro del Espacio de Clasificación Funcional "eficiente en la comuni-dad". El 31% de los hombres y el 14% de las mujeres alcanzan el valor mínimo para el "cruce efectivo de calles" (actividades coti-dianas avanzadas). Conclusiones La exploración de Espacios de Clasificación Funcional según de velocidad de marcha confortable y máxima aplicada a un grupo de adultos mayores clasificados como autovalentes, resulta en individuos con riesgo para desarrollar actividades instrumentales y avanzadas.

ABSTRACT

Estudos têm demonstrado que exercícios realizados em meio aquático produzem benefícios diversos para mulheres. Esta pesquisa objetivou avaliar a percepção subjetiva de saúde, mobilidade e humor de mulheres quinquagenárias saudáveis e sedentárias em decorrência de participação em programa de caminhada em imersão. Participaram 59 mulheres entre 50 e 59 anos, distribuídas em grupos de 10 a 12 pessoas. A atividade foi desenvolvida em piscina aquecida 2 vezes por semana, por 30 minutos, durante 12 meses. O programa foi dividido em 4 etapas de 3 meses com 5 tempos de avaliação. Para a avaliação subjetiva sobre o estado de saúde, mobilidade e humor, utilizou-se uma escala numérica de 0 a 10. Breve relato sobre os principais efeitos do programa também foi analisado em seu conteúdo. Observou-se melhora na percepção de saúde (p < 0,001), na mobilidade (p < 0,001) e no humor (p = 0,003). Na análise de conteúdo, 49,4% dos relatos relacionaram-se com a melhora da saúde; 22,9% com a autoestima e satisfação e 19,3% com a capacidade física. O estudo reforça a necessidade deste tipo de prática para a saúde integral da mulher de "meia idade" como medida preventiva do processo de envelhecimento saudável. (AU)

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Telehealth is a novel therapeutic alternative. Aim: To determine the effects of a remote therapeutic physical exercise program (TPEP), based on telehealth, on functional physical capacity in people with knee or hip osteoarthritis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: An eight-week TPEP was undertaken by 36 participants with a mean age of 68 years. The control group received printed exercise instructions, while the experimental group received the same instructions plus TPEP using tutorial videos and voice messaging via WhatsApp. Both groups were evaluated at baseline and the end of the intervention with the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), Barthel index (BI), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), senior fitness test and with the Visual Analog Scale for pain (VAS). RESULTS: The experimental group decreased the VAS score and improved tandem balance, three-meter walk, sit and stand 5 times, sit and stand in 30 seconds, push-ups in 30 seconds, two minutes' walk, join the right hand behind the back and SPPB general score. The control group increased the BI score and improved the three meters walking test, sitting, and standing 5 times, sit and stand 30 seconds chair test, 2 minutes walking test and the SPPB general score. No differences between groups were observed for the LEFS scale, BI, VAS and functional capacity. CONCLUSIONS: A TPEP based on telehealth has similar effectiveness than a TPEP based on traditional paper-based intervention to improve functional physical capacity in patients with OA.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective To evaluate the biomechanical behavior of the medial longitudinal arch (MLA) of the foot and the kinematic parameters of the lower limbs with biomimetic footwear (BF) and non-biomimetic (NB1, NB2, NB3 and NB4) footwear in children at the beginning of the gait acquisition phase. Methods Four toddlers were evaluated at the beginning of the gait acquisition phase under the following conditions: walking barefoot, ambulation with BF and NB1, NB2, NB3 and NB4 footwear in hard floor. BF is described as biomimetic because of its property of emulating natural and irregular floors through a dynamic internal insole. The MLA and kinematics of the hip, knee, and ankle during gait were evaluated by three-dimensional motion analysis system. The similarity between the kinematic curves of barefoot and footwear conditions was analyzed by root mean square error (RMSE). Results The use of BF presented the highest magnitude of MLA and the greatest difference in relation to barefoot condition (higher RMSE). The BF showed less difference in the kinematics of the knee and ankle joints during gait when compared to barefoot condition (lower RMSE). NB2 footwear presented hip kinematics more similar to barefoot condition (lower RMSE). Conclusion Biomimetics footwear and NB2 shoes (both with wider forefoot region) generated smaller differences in lower limbs compared to barefoot. In addition, the MLA was higher in the BF, probably because different design from other shoes.


Resumo Objetivo Avaliar o comportamento do arco longitudinal medial do pé (ALM) e os parâmetros cinemáticos dos membros inferiores durante a deambulação com calçados biomiméticos (CBs) e não biomiméticos (NB1, NB2, NB3 e NB4) em crianças no início da fase de aquisição da marcha. Métodos Foram avaliadas quatro crianças no início da fase de aquisição da marcha nas seguintes condições: andar descalço, andar com CBs e calçados NB1, NB2, NB3 e NB4 em solo plano. O calçado biomimético é descrito como biomimético por emular pisos naturais e irregulares por meio de uma palmilha interna dinâmica. O ALM e a cinemática do quadril, joelho e tornozelo durante a marcha foram avaliados por meio de sistema de análise do movimento tridimensional. A similaridade entre as curvas cinemáticas das condições descalça e com calçado foi analisada por meio do cálculo de root mean square error (RMSE). Resultados O CB foi o que apresentou maior magnitude do ALM e maior diferença do ALM em relação à condição descalça (maior RMSE). O CB apresentou ainda menor diferença na cinemática das articulações do joelho e tornozelo durante a marcha quando comparado à condição descalça (menor RMSE). O calçado NB2 apresentou a cinemática do quadril mais semelhante à condição descalça (menor RMSE). Conclusão Os calçados CB e NB2 que apresentam a região do antepé mais larga geraram menores diferenças na cinemática dos membros inferiores. Além disso, o ALM foi maior no CB provavelmente devido a seu design ser diferente daquele dos demais calçados.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: A claudicação neurogênica (CN) é a apresentação clínica clássica de pacientes com Estenose Espinhal Lombar (EEL). Esses pacientes podem ou não apresentar sintomas de dor nas pernas e dificuldade para caminhar. Esses sintomas são exacerbados ao caminhar e ficar em pé e são aliviados ao sentar ou inclinar-se para a frente. MÉTODO: Pacientes com EEL, com diâmetro do canal lombar ≤12mm, foram recrutados em um hospital terciário reconhecido. As características demográficas e antropométricas de cada sujeito foram anotadas e o procedimento do teste foi explicado. O diâmetro do canal foi documentado com a ajuda de um relatório de ressonância magnética. Um teste de caminhada individualizado foi usado para avaliar a distância percorrida. ANÁLISE ESTATÍSTICA: Dependendo da normalidade dos dados, o coeficiente de correlação de Pearson (r) foi usado para encontrar a correlação entre o diâmetro do canal em diferentes níveis lombares e a distância percorrida em pacientes com EEL. RESULTADO: O coeficiente de correlação de Pearson (r) determinou uma correlação positiva razoável (r = 0,29) entre o diâmetro do canal lombar e a distância percorrida. Análise de regressão múltipla stepwise foi feita, e uma equação de predição foi encontrada para diferentes níveis de estenose do canal. CONCLUSÃO: Os achados de nosso estudo sugerem uma correlação positiva razoável entre a distância percorrida e o diâmetro do canal em L5-S1. Este estudo também pode ser útil para prever o diâmetro aproximado do canal, estimando a distância percorrida pelo paciente com sintomas de EEL e vice-versa.


INTRODUCTION: Neurogenic claudication (NC) is the classic clinical presentation of patients with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS). These patients may or may not present with symptoms of leg pain and difficulty walking. These symptoms are exacerbated while walking and standing and are eased by sitting or bending forward. METHOD: Patients with LSS, having a lumbar canal diameter of ≤12mm, were recruited from a recognized Tertiary care hospital. Each subject's demographic characteristics and anthropometrics were noted, and the testing procedure was explained. The canal diameter was documented with the help of an MRI report. A self-paced walking test was used to assess the walking distance. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Depending on the normality of the data, the Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was used to find the correlation between canal diameter at different lumbar levels and walking distance in patients with LSS. RESULT: Pearson correlation coefficient (r) determined a fair positive correlation (r = 0.29) between lumbar canal diameter and walking distance. Stepwise multiple regression analysis was done, and a prediction equation was found for different levels of canal stenosis. CONCLUSION: Findings of our present study suggest a fair positive correlation between walking distance and canal diameter at L5-S1. This study may also be useful in predicting the approximate canal diameter by estimating the walking distance of the patient with symptoms of LSS and vice-versa.

ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze the association between perceived characteristics of the neighborhood environment and changes in leisure-time physical activity in Brazilian older adults. Longitudinal analysis was performed considering a population-based study carried out in 2009/2010 with follow-up in 2013/2014. Changes in leisure-time physical activity, obtained with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire during both waves, were associated with data of environment perception with the Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale - Abbreviated (baseline only) performing multinomial logistic regression. In total, 1,162 older adults (65.2% women, mean age = 73.7 years) participated. Older adults who perceived flat streets, bicycle paths, and high flow of vehicles in the neighborhood were more likely to remain active in leisure time walking. Those who noticed the presence of flat streets also had a greater chance of becoming active than those who did not notice it. Older adults who perceived bicycle paths and sports events were more likely to maintain moderate and vigorous physical activity during leisure time. Furthermore, older adults who noticed parks and squares close to their residence were 0.49 times less likely to become insufficiently active. Brazilian older adults are more active in neighborhoods with more favorable attributes regarding leisure-time physical activity.


Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a associação entre a percepção das características do ambiente do bairro e a mudança na atividade física no lazer de idosos brasileiros. Esta análise longitudinal foi realizada a partir de um estudo de base populacional realizado em 2009/2010 com acompanhamento em 2013/2014. Alterações na atividade física durante o lazer, obtidas com o Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física durante ambas as ondas, estiveram associadas a dados de percepção ambiental da Escala Abreviada de Caminhabilidade do Ambiente de Bairro (somente na linha de base) através de uma regressão logística multinomial. Participaram do estudo 1.162 idosos (65,2% mulheres, média de 73,7 anos). Idosos que perceberam a presença de ruas planas, ciclovias e alto fluxo de veículos em seus bairros estiveram mais propensos a permanecer ativos em caminhadas de lazer. Além disso, a presença de ruas planas também esteve associada a maior chance de os idosos se tornarem ativos em comparação com aqueles que não perceberam. Idosos que perceberam a presença de ciclovias e eventos esportivos estiveram mais propensos a permanecerem ativos em atividade física moderada ou vigorosa em seu lazer. Além disso, idosos que percebem parques e praças próximas à sua residência tiveram 0,49 vezes menos chances de se tornarem insuficientemente ativos. Idosos brasileiros são mais ativos em bairros que apresentam atributos mais favoráveis à atividade física no lazer.


Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la asociación entre la percepción de las características del entorno del barrio y el cambio en la actividad física en tiempo libre en los adultos mayores brasileños. El análisis longitudinal se realizó considerando un estudio de base poblacional realizado en 2009/2010 con seguimiento en 2013/2014. Los cambios en la actividad física en tiempo libre, obtenidos con el Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física durante ambas olas, se asociaron con los datos de la percepción del entorno con la Escala Abreviada de Caminabilidad del Entorno Vecinal (sólo en la línea de base) realizando una regresión logística multinomial. Participaron 1.162 adultos mayores (65,2% mujeres, edad media de 73,7 años). Se observó que las personas mayores que percibían la presencia de calles planas, carriles para bicicletas y un alto flujo de vehículos en el barrio presentaban tiempos más probables de permanecer activos en el tiempo de ocio caminando. Además, la presencia de calles planas también se asoció a una mayor probabilidad de que los adultos mayores se mantuvieran activos en comparación con los que no lo percibieron. Las personas mayores que percibieron la presencia de carriles para bicicletas y la presencia de eventos deportivos presentaron, veces más, la probabilidad de permanecer activos en la actividad física moderada y vigorosa en el tiempo libre. Además, los adultos mayores que perciben parques y plazas cerca de su residencia tenían 0,49 veces menos probabilidades de ser insuficientemente activos. Los adultos mayores brasileños son más activos en los barrios que presentan atributos más favorables en cuanto a la actividad física en el tiempo libre.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La enfermedad periodontal es un problema de salud pública que requiere de un seguimiento en el tiempo que permita la implementación de planes de salud apropiados. Objetivo: Establecer el comportamiento de la dinámica de la enfermedad periodontal a través de la caminata al azar probabilista mediante la simulación de los valores de la prevalencia de la enfermedad periodontal en Colombia. Métodos: Se tomaron los valores disponibles y reportados por el Estudio Nacional de Salud Bucal II al IV de la prevalencia de la enfermedad periodontal, y a partir de estos se realizaron tres simulaciones de este comportamiento, para hacer predicciones de los valores de la prevalencia para los años 1998 y 2014 mediante la caminata al azar probabilista. Adicionalmente, se realizaron tres simulaciones predictivas para la dinámica de la prevalencia hasta el año 2030, para establecer el comportamiento teórico que esta variable pueda seguir. Resultados: Las tres simulaciones teóricas permitieron hacer predicciones del índice de prevalencia para el año 1998 y 2014 con un porcentaje de acierto cercano al 100 por ciento. Adicionalmente se observó que el evento más probable es que se presente un aumento en índice de prevalencia para el año 2030 respecto al valor obtenido para el 2014. Conclusiones: Es posible realizar predicciones del comportamiento de la dinámica de la enfermedad periodontal que permitan evaluar los planes de acción en salud orientados a disminuir la prevalencia de las enfermedades periodontales(AU)


Introduction: Periodontal disease is a public health problem which requires follow-up over time that allows the implementation of appropriate health plans. Objective: Establish the behavior of the dynamics of periodontal disease through probabilistic random walking by simulating the values of periodontal disease prevalence in Colombia. Methods: The values available and reported by the National Oral Health Study II to IV on periodontal disease prevalence were taken, and from these, three simulations of this behavior were carried out to make predictions of the prevalence values for the years 1998 and 2014 through probabilistic random walking. Additionally, three predictive simulations were performed for the dynamics of prevalence until 2030 to establish the theoretical behavior that this variable can follow. Results: The three theoretical simulations allowed to make predictions of the prevalence rate for the years 1998 and 2014 with a percentage of success close to 100 percent. Additionally, it was observed that the most likely event is that there will be an increase in the prevalence rate by 2030 compared to the value obtained by 2014. Conclusions: It is possible to make predictions of the periodontal disease's dynamics behavior that allow evaluating health action plans aimed at reducing the prevalence of periodontal diseases(AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumo Fundamento Apesar de avanços em técnicas cirúrgicas e cuidados pós-operatórios em cardiopatia congênita, a morbidade cardiovascular permanece elevada. Objetivo Avaliar a associação do condicionamento pré-operatório de crianças e adolescentes com cardiopatias, mensurado por teste de caminhada de 6-minutos (TC6M) e variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC), com a ocorrência de choque cardiogênico, séptico e morte no período pós-operatório. Métodos Estudo clínico prospectivo e observacional de 81 pacientes de 8 a 18 anos. No período pré-operatório foram realizados o TC6M (distância caminhada e SpO2) e a VFC. O escore de risco ajustado para cirurgia de cardiopatia congênita ( RACHS-1 ) foi aplicado para predizer o fator de risco cirúrgico para mortalidade. A ocorrência de pelo menos uma das complicações citadas foi considerada como evento combinado. Valores de p<0,05 foram considerados significantes. Resultados Dos 81 pacientes, 59% eram do sexo masculino, com idade média de 12 anos; 33% eram cianóticos; e 72% já tinham realizado cirurgias prévias. O choque cardiogênico foi a complicação mais comum, e 31% apresentaram evento combinado. Cirurgia prévia, tipo de cardiopatia atual, RACHS-1 , SpO2 em repouso, durante e após recuperação do TC6M foram selecionados para o estudo multivariado. A SpO2 após o TC6M permaneceu como fator de risco independente para aumentar a ocorrência de evento combinado no pós-operatório (OR: 0,93, IC95% [0,88 - 0,99], p=0,02). Conclusão O SpO2 após o TC6M no período pré-operatório foi o fator independente preditor de prognóstico no pós-operatório em crianças e adolescentes submetidos à correção cirúrgica; a distância caminhada e as variáveis da VFC não tiveram a mesma associação.


Abstract Background Despite advances in surgical technique and postoperative care in congenital heart disease, cardiovascular morbidity is still high. Objective To evaluate the association between preoperative cardiovascular fitness of children and adolescents, measured by the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV), and the occurrence of cardiogenic, septic shock and death in the postoperative period. Methods Prospective, observational clinic study including 81 patients aged from 8 to 18 years. In the preoperative period, the 6MWT (distance walked and SpO2) and HRV were performed. The adjusted risk score for surgeries for congenital heart disease (RACHS-1) was applied to predict the surgical risk factor for mortality. The occurrence of at least one of the listed complications was considered as a combined event. P values < 0.05 were considered as significant. Results Of the patients, 59% were male, with mean age of 12 years; 33% were cyanotic; and 72% had undergone previous cardiac surgery. Cardiogenic shock was the most common complication, and 31% had a combined event. Prior to surgery, type of current heart disease, RACHS-1, SpO2at rest, during the 6MWT and recovery were selected for the multivariate analysis. The SpO2at recovery by the 6MWT remained as an independent risk factor (OR 0.93, 95%CI [0.88 - 0.99], p=0.02) for the increasing occurrence of combined events. Conclusion SpO2after the application of the 6MWT in the preoperative period was an independent predictor of prognosis in children and adolescents undergoing surgical correction; the walked distance and the HRV did not present this association.
