ABSTRACT
Neural respiratory drive (NRD) is measured using a non-invasive recording of respiratory electromyographic signal. The parasternal intercostal muscle can assess the imbalance between the load and capacity of respiratory muscles and presents a similar pattern to diaphragmatic activity. We aimed to analyze the neural respiratory drive in seventeen individuals with hypertension during quite breathing and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) (103.9 ± 5.89 vs. 122.6 ± 5 l/min) in comparison with seventeen healthy subjects (46.5 ± 2.5 vs. 46.4 ± 2.4 years), respectively. The study protocol was composed of quite breathing during five minutes, maximum inspiratory pressure followed by maximal ventilatory ventilation (MVV) was recorded once for 15 seconds. Anthropometric measurements were collected, weight, height, waist, hip, and calf circumferences, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), BMI, and conicity index (CI). Differences between groups were analyzed using the unpaired t-test or Mann-Whitney test to determine the difference between groups and moments. A significance level of 5% (p<0,05) was adopted for all statistical analyses. The group of individuals with hypertension presented higher values when compared to the healthy group for neural respiratory drive (EMGpara% 17.9±1.3 vs. 13.1±0.8, p = 0.0006) and neural respiratory drive index (NRDi (AU) 320±25 vs. 205.7±15,p = 0.0004) during quiet breathing and maximal ventilatory ventilation (EMGpara% 29.3±2.7 vs. 18.3±0.8, p = 0.000, NRDi (AU) 3140±259.4 vs. 1886±73.1,p<0.0001), respectively. In conclusion, individuals with hypertension presented higher NRD during quiet breathing and maximal ventilatory ventilation when compared to healthy individuals.

Objetivo: Identificarel conocimiento científico acerca de la percepción de las mujeres con respecto a la lactancia materna. Método: Una revisión integradora para buscar artículos en MEDLINE, Pub / Med, LILACS, BDENF base de datos central de PubMed se realizó: PMCE CINAHL, de 2008 a 2015, se seleccionaron 30 artículos. Resultado: Surgió a partir del análisis las categorías: Beneficios de la lactancia materna; mitos y tabúes que rodean a la lactancia materna; sentimientos contradictorios durante la lactancia, aspectos culturales,la gestión de la lactancia materna y recomendaciones para la práctica. Conclusión:Percepciones de las mujeres sobre la lactancia materna, pueden contribuir a la formulación de recomendaciones con el fin de ayudar a la enfermera en una perspectiva que va más allá de la técnica respetando los significados y prácticas atribuidas a las mujeres que amamantan
Objective: Identify the contribution of the research on the scientific knowledge about the perception of women regarding breastfeeding. Method: An integrative review was carried and the search for articles occurred in MEDLINE, Pub/Med, LILACS, BDENF, PubMed Central: PMCe CINAHL, from 2008 to 2015, containing 30 articles. Results: Emerging from the analysis were the following categories: benefits of breastfeeding, myths and taboos surrounding breastfeeding; contradictory feelings when breastfeeding; cultural aspects and management of breastfeeding. Conclusion: The results indicate aspects about women's perceptions regarding breastfeeding, which may contribute to the development of recommendation sin order to assist the breast feeder in a perspective that goes beyond the technical, respecting the perceptions, meanings and practices attributed to breastfeeding by women
Objetivo: Identificar o conhecimento científico produzido acerca da percepção das mulheres quanto à prática do aleitamento materno.Método:Revisão integrativa com busca dos artigos nas bases de dados MEDLINE, Pub/Med, LILACS, BDENF, PubMed Central: PMC e CINAHL, de 2008 a 2015, sendo selecionados 30 artigos. Resultados: Da análise, emergiram as categorias: vantagens do aleitamento materno; mitos e tabus em torno da amamentação; sentimentos contraditórios ao amamentar; aspectos culturais; manejo da amamentação; e recomendações para a prática. Conclusão: As percepções das mulheres em relação à amamentação podem contribuir para a elaboração de recomendações com vistas a assistir a nutriz numa perspectiva que vai além da técnica, respeitando os significados e práticas atribuídas à amamentação pelas mulheres
