SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the quality of sleep in individuals with systemic sclerosis and its correlation with the quality of life and disability. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study, carried out in a tertiary service of a university hospital. Inclusion criteria were diagnosis of systemic sclerosis according to the criteria of the American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism 2013 or the preliminary criteria of the American College of Rheumatology 1980, age ≥ 18 years; regularly monitored at the outpatient clinic of rheumatology. Clinical and demographic data of the patients were obtained through a structured interview and evaluation of the medical records. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire, daytime sleepiness using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, quality of life using 12-item short-form health survey, and disability using the scleroderma health assessment questionnaire. RESULTS: A total of 50 patients with systemic sclerosis were included, with 92% female, mean age 48.9 years, mean disease duration 8.9 years, and 60% limited cutaneous form. Most systemic sclerosis patients (84%) have poor sleep quality and 20% have excessive daytime sleepiness. There was a significant negative correlation between Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the physical and mental components of the 12-item short-form health survey (r=-0.42, p=0.003 and r=-0.43, p=0.002, respectively) and a positive correlation with the scleroderma health assessment questionnaire (r=0.52, p=<0.001). CONCLUSION: This study showed that poor sleep quality is a very common finding among systemic sclerosis patients, and it negatively affects both the quality of life and the degree of disability.

Introdução: A paralisia facial é um quadro que pode gerar algumas sequelas, e às vezes apenas as estéticas podem ser melhoradas. Com base nisso, objetivou-se relatar um caso em que foi utilizada uma tela de polipropileno e poliglecaprone com finalidade de elevar as estruturas da hemiface direita. Relato de Caso: A paciente apresentava paralisia em hemiface direita, com selamento palpebral incompetente, desvio de comissura labial e sem movimento da musculatura temporal. Foi realizada uma incisão abaixo da costeleta, pré e retroauricular, com descolamento do retalho cutâneo em toda a hemiface direita. Após levantar o sistema musculoaponeurótico superficial e fixá-lo com fios de mononylon, foi colocada a tela de polipropileno e poliglecaprone na região do terço médio e fixada com monocryl. Foi realizada cantotomia e cantopexia lateral da pálpebra direita. No pós-operatório imediato a paciente evoluiu sem edemas, retrações ou abaulamentos, e após um ano e sete meses apresenta total integração da tela, sem retração, fibrose ou recidiva. Discussão: A escolha do tratamento estético de paralisia facial depende da causa e duração da lesão, mas existem diversas formas de fazê-lo. Entre as ideias mais novas, estão o uso de células tronco e materiais aloplásticos e, seguindo essa segunda linha, a tela de polipropileno e poliglecaprone pode ser pensada como uma técnica viável, como foi neste caso relatado.
Introduction: Facial paralysis is a condition that can cause some sequelae, and sometimes only aesthetics can be improved. Based on this, the objective was to report a case in which a polypropylene and poliglecaprone mesh was used in order to raise the structures of the right hemiface. Case Report: The patient had paralysis in the right hemiface, with incompetent eyelid sealing, deviation of the labial commissure and no movement of the temporal musculature. An incision was made below the cutlet, pre and retroauricular, with detachment of the skin flap across the right hemiface. After lifting the superficial musculoaponeurotic system and fixing it with mononylon threads, the polypropylene and poliglecaprone mesh was placed in the middle third region and fixed with monocryl. Canthotomy and lateral canthopexy of the right eyelid were performed. In the immediate postoperative period, the patient evolved without edema, retraction or bulging, and after one year and seven months, she had complete integration of the mesh, with no retraction, fibrosis or recurrence. Discussion: The choice of aesthetic treatment for facial paralysis depends on the cause and duration of the injury, but there are several ways to do it. Among the newer ideas are the use of stem cells and alloplastic materials, and following this second line, the polypropylene and poliglecaprone canvas can be thought of as a viable technique, as was reported in this case.

ABSTRACT Introduction: achalasia is a chronic disease. Since there is no curative treatment, diagnosed patients have pharmacological and/or surgical techniques available, aimed at minimizing the condition. POEM appears as a promising new type of palliative treatment with good rates of symptom improvement. Objective: evaluate the profile of POEM at the Clinical Hospital of the Federal University of Pernambuco (HC - UFPE) and correlate it with the world scenario. Methods: data collection was performed retrospectively from September 2017 to October 2019 with all patients undergoing POEM at the HC - UFPE. Sociodemographic, clinical, and hospital variables were evaluated before and three months after the procedure. Results: of 27 patients (52.41 ± 19.24 years old) who underwent the procedure, 66.7% had idiopathic etiology and 33.3% had etiology secondary to Chagas disease. 48% patients underwent previous procedures, of which seven used some type of medication for symptom control, two underwent pneumatic endoscopic dilation, and four underwent Heller cardiomyotomy with partial fundoplication. 62.5% of the evaluated patients had type II achalasia before the procedure. Seven (25.9%) patients presented the following adverse events: four presented bleeding, two pneumoperitoneum, and one both complications, all being treated conservatively. The Eckardt score reduced from 8.37 ± 1.45 to 0.85 ± 1.06 (p-value <0.001). Conclusion: clinical improvement of symptoms and the patient profile followed the worldwide trend, with emphasis on the etiology secondary to Chagas disease, endemic in Brazil. Gastroesophageal reflux remains the main post-operative symptom.
RESUMO Introdução: a acalasia é uma doença crônica. Por não haver tratamento curativo, os pacientes diagnosticados dispõem de técnicas farmacológicas e/ou cirúrgicas, visando minimizar o quadro. A POEM surge como um novo tipo de tratamento paliativo promissor com boas taxas de melhora dos sintomas. Objetivo: avaliar o perfil das POEM realizadas no Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (HC - UFPE) e correlacioná-lo com o cenário mundial. Métodos: a coleta de dados foi realizada retrospectivamente no período de setembro de 2017 a outubro de 2019 com todos os pacientes submetidos a POEM no HC - UFPE. Variáveis sociodemográficas, clínicas e hospitalares foram avaliadas antes e três meses após o procedimento. Resultados: total de 27 pacientes (52,41 ± 19,24 anos) que realizaram o procedimento, 66,7% com etiologia idiopática e 33,3% com etiologia secundária à doença de Chagas. 48% tinham sido submetidos a procedimentos prévios, dos quais sete usaram algum tipo de medicamento para controle dos sintomas, dois foram submetidos à dilatação endoscópica pneumática e quatro à cardiomiotomia a Heller com fundoplicatura parcial. 62,5% dos pacientes avaliados tinham acalasia tipo ii antes do procedimento. Sete (25,9%) apresentaram eventos adversos: quatro sangramentos, dois pneumoperitônio e um ambas as complicações, todos foram tratados de forma conservadora. O escore de Eckardt reduziu de 8,37 ± 1,45 para 0,85 ± 1,06 (valor de p<0,001). Conclusão: melhora clínica e o perfil dos pacientes acompanhou a tendência mundial, destaque para a etiologia secundária à doença de Chagas, endêmica no Brasil. O refluxo gastroesofágico continua sendo o principal sintoma pós-operatório.
