RESUMO
Introdução: Considerando a alta complacência da caixa torácica em recém-nascidos, as manobras de fisioterapia, quando aplicadas sobre o tórax, devem ser corretamente indicadas e avaliadas, por meio de instrumentos fidedignos e não invasivos, a fim de assegurar a sua eficácia e segurança. Objetivo: Avaliar a mobilidade toracoabdominal pela biofotogrametria (MT) em recém-nascidos após as manobras de vibrocompressão (VC) e Reequilíbrio Toracoabdominal (RTA). Métodos: A análise foi realizada em 40 recém-nascidos, com idade > 37 semanas, em posição supina, membros superiores em flexão, abdução e rotação externa e quadril flexionado. Cada recém-nascido realizou um tipo de manobra (VC ou RTA) e foi filmado por 60 segundos antes e após a terapia, por uma câmera digital perpendicular ao plano de movimento. A análise biofotogramétrica foi realizada pelo Software AutoCAD® e os resultados foram convertidos para unidades métricas (cm2 ). Resultados: A manobra de RTA aumentou a amplitude do movimento toracoabdominal e a VC diminuiu. A diferença média da mobilidade toracoabdominal, entre o antes e depois, para estas duas manobras, foi de +0,20 cm2 no RTA e 1,72 cm2 na VC, entretanto não apresentaram diferença estatisticamente significativa. Conclusão: As manobras de RTA e VC apresentaram resultados antônimos sobre a mobilidade toracoabdominal, entretanto esta diferença não foi estatisticamente significativa. (AU)
Introduction: Considering the high complacency of the chest wall in newborns, physical therapy maneuvers, when applied to the chest, must be correctly indicated and evaluated through reliable and non-invasive tools, in order to ensure their efficacy and safety. Objective: To evaluate the thoracoabdominal mobility by biophotogrammetry (MT) in newborns after vibrocompression maneuvers (VC) and thoracoabdominal rebalancing (RTA). Methods: The analysis was performed in 40 infants, aged > 37 weeks, supine, upper limbs in flexion, abduction and external rotation and flexed hip. Each newborn performed a type of maneuver (VC or RTA) and was filmed for 60 seconds before and after therapy, by a digital camera perpendicular to the plane of movement. The biophotogrammetric analysis was performed by AutoCAD® Software and the results were converted to metric units (cm2). Results: The RTA increased the amplitude of the thoracoabdominal mobility and the VC decreased this amplitude. The mean difference in the range of the thoracoabdominal mobility before and after, for these two maneuvers was + 0.20 cm2 in the RTA and -1.72 cm2 in the VC, but did not present a statistically significant difference. Conclusion: The RTA and VC maneuvers presented antonym results on the thoracoabdominal mobility, however this difference was not statistically significant. (AU)

OBJETIVOTraduzir, realizar a equivalência e validar o questionário Utian Quality of Life(UQOL) para a população brasileira.MÉTODOSParticiparam do estudo mulheres selecionadas aleatoriamente, na fase do climatério, residentes na cidade de Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, localizada na região do nordeste brasileiro. Foram utilizados os questionários UQOL e SF-36, sendo a fase da tradução realizada da língua inglesa para o português por três professores, enquanto que a fase de adaptação da versão traduzida foi feita através da aplicação do questionário a 35 mulheres, que poderiam marcar a opção de resposta "não compreendi a questão"; e para a validação foram usadas as medidas de reprodutibilidade (teste-reteste) e validade de construto, seguindo as normas metodológicas padronizadas internacionalmenteRESULTADOSA versão brasileira foi reconhecida plenamente pela população-alvo, que foi composta por 151 mulheres, devido a nenhuma questão apresentar percentual de "não compreensão" igual ou superior a 20%. Os resultados obtidos para a reprodutibilidade intra e interobservador demonstraram concordância significativa em todos os itens do questionário. Essa versão apresentou consistência acima do critério requerido (>70), demonstrando sua precisão, enquanto que a validade de construto foi obtida através de correlações estatisticamente significativas entre os domínios ocupação, saúde e emocional do UQOL com os domínios do SF-36. O coeficiente alfa de Cronbach para o instrumento como um todo foi de 0,82, representando boa precisão. Análise da correlação item-total demonstrou a homogeneidade da escala.CONCLUSÃOA partir das etapas realizadas, o questionário UQOL foi traduzido e adaptado para aplicação no Brasil, apresentando alta reprodutibilidade e validade. Dessa forma, pode ser incluído e utilizado em estudos brasileiros que visem avaliar a qualidade de vida durante a peri e pós-menopausa.
PURPOSETo translate, to adapt and to validate the Utian Quality of Life (UQOL) for the Brazilian population.METHODSWomen in the climacteric phase, residents in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, located in the Brazilian Northeast, were randomly selected. UQOL and SF-36 questionnaires were used, and the translation from English to Portuguese was made by three teachers, while the adaptation stage of the translated version was made by applying the questionnaire to 35 women, which could mark the answer choice "I did not understand the question"; reproducibility measurements (test-retest) and construct validity were used to validate, following international methodological standards.RESULTSThe Brazilian version was fully recognized by the target population, which was comprised of 151 women, as no question showed a percentage of "non-understanding" equal to or greater than 20%. The results for intra and interobserver reproducibility demonstrated significant agreement on all the questionnaire items. This version showed consistency above the required criteria (>70), demonstrating its accuracy, while the construct validity was obtained by statistically significant correlations between the domains occupation, health and emotional of UQOL and the SF-36 domains. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the whole instrument was 0.82, representing good accuracy. Item-total correlation analysis showed the scale homogeneityCONCLUSIONFrom the steps taken, the UQOL questionnaire was translated and adapted for its use in Brazil, with high reproducibility and validity. Thus, it can be included and used in Brazilian studies that aim at evaluating the quality of life of women during the peri- and postmenopausal.

INTRODUCTION: Previous studies have shown music therapy as a way to improve the clinical status of premature infants, improving vital signs and decreasing crying episodes OBJECTIVE: Compare the effects of music on vital signs of premature infants undergoing respiratory physiotherapy METHODS: We performed a randomized clinical trial consisting of 26 premature infants, divided into control group (N=12) and study group (N=14), carried out in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. All newborn infants undergone standard practice physiotherapy for 15 minutes: vibration and aspiration. On the study group they were exposed to classical music three minutes before the standard physiotherapy, and finished three minutes after the end of these procedures. A recorder was placed inside the incubator with an intensity of 25 decibels. Measurements of heart and respiratory rate and oxygen saturation were measured before, during and after each sessions of respiratory physiotherapy for two groups RESULTS: When comparing control and study groups regarding heart rate frequency and oxygen saturation, there was no statistically significant difference, but the inclusion of music determined clinically the variability of these data and 30% of the variation in respiratory rate was due to the inclusion of music during and after the physiotherapy, and the neonatal noninvasive ventilation showed less variation in their respiratory rate when compared to the neonatal on oxygen therapy CONCLUSION: The results have showed a beneficial effect of music, showing lower respiratory rate in newborn infants during and after respiratory physiotherapy procedure.(AU)
