RESUMO A citricultura está crescendo no Estado do Pará, Brasil, mas faltam informações sobre as pragas conhecidas como moscas-das-frutas e os parasitoides associados na região. Visando abordar esta lacuna no conhecimento, foram coletados frutos de laranja (Citrus sinensis), laranja var. lima (C. sinensis), lima-da-pérsia (C. limettioides), limão-cidra (C. medica) e tangerina (C. reticulata). Registramos, pela primeira vez, infestação em condições naturais de campo por Anastrepha obliqua em C. sinensis no Pará e identificamos uma tritrófica entre C. sinensis, A. obliqua e os parasitoides Opius bellus e Asobara anastrephae.

ABSTRACT Citriculture is a growing industry in Pará state, Brazil, but information regarding fruit flies and their associated parasitoids in this region is lacking. To address this gap in knowledge, we collected oranges (Citrus sinensis), lime oranges (C. sinensis), common sweet limes (C. limettioides), citrons (C. medica) and mandarins (C. reticulata). We recorded field infestation by Anastrepha obliqua in C. sinensis under natural conditions for the first time in the study region, and a tritrophic relationship between C. sinensis, A. obliqua, and the parasitoids Opius bellus and Asobara anastrephae was identified.

Resumo Plantas nativas do Cerrado geralmente apresentam características peculiares que permitem tolerar o estresse hídrico e nutricional. Astronium fraxinifolium, é uma das espécies arbóreas de Anacardiaceae do Cerrado brasileiro. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi caracterizar morfofisiologicamente as folhas de A. fraxinifolium, com o objetivo de reconhecer características relacionadas a aclimatação da espécie em diferentes condições de solo. Para tanto, duas populações de A. fraxinifolium foram amostradas em diferentes áreas de estudo, A1 (Solo degradado) e A2 (“Solo não degradado”). A partir dessas amostras foram quantificados compostos nitrogenados, carboidratos totais, amido, clorofila, conteúdo nutricional, densidade estomática, trocas gasosas, alocação de carbono e altura da parte aérea, comparando as áreas de estudo. Um número elevado de estômatos foi observado na superfície abaxial das folhas de A. fraxinifolium, com uma densidade estomática mais elevada ocorrendo em indivíduos de A1. Já os valores de clorofila a, b e total foram significativamente maiores em A2. O conteúdo nutricional não diferiu entre as áreas, exceto o boro, que apresenta maior concentração nas plantas de A2. É possível que a menor concentração de boro nas plantas A1 esteja relacionado a produção de clorofila. Em relação às demais análises, não houve diferenças significativas entre as áreas. Os resultados mostram que esta espécie sofre alterações na produção de clorofila, mas a fotossíntese líquida não é perturbada, sendo o baixo teor de clorofila em A1 compensado pela maior densidade estomática. Assim, essas mudanças podem ser o resultado da aclimatação dessa espécie às diferentes condições ambientais às quais está exposta.

Abstract Plants native from Cerrado generally have peculiar characteristics that allow tolerating water and nutritional stress. Astronium fraxinifolium is a Anacardiaceae tree of from Brazilian Cerrado. The aim of this research was to characterize A. fraxinifolium leaves morphophysiologically, in order to recognize characteristics related to acclimatization of the species in different soil conditions. Two populations of A. fraxinifolium were sampled in different study areas, A1 (Degraded Soil) and A2 (“Undegraded Soil”). Nitrogen compounds, total carbohydrates, chlorophyll, nutritional content, stomatal density and gas exchanges were quantified, comparing the areas. A high number of stomata was observed on the abaxial surface of A. fraxinifolium leaves, with a higher density occurring in A1 individuals. The values of chlorophyll and boron content were significantly higher in A2 plants. It’s possible that the lowest concentration of boron in A1 plants is related to chlorophyll production. Regardinf the other analysis, there weren’t significant differences between the areas. The results show that this species undergoes changes in production of chlorophyll, but liquid photosynthesis isn’t impaired, considering the low chlorophyll content in A1 being compensated by the higher stomatal density. Thus, these changes may be the result of acclimating this species to different environmental conditions to which it’s exposed.

RESUMO: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o parasitismo de larvas de Tephritidae por duas linhagens de Diachasmimorpha longicaudata em duas espécies de mosca-das-frutas. Foram utilizadas fêmeas do parasitoide criadas sobre Ceratitis capitata ou Anastrepha fraterculus acondicionadas em gaiolas adaptadas. Para cada fêmea foram oferecidas 20 larvas durante 1 hora, em ensaio com chance de escolha (20 C. capitata ou 20 A. fraterculus) e sem chance de escolha (10 larvas de cada espécie). Após o parasitismo, o número de cicatrizes foi verificado e os pupários classificados como: não parasitados (ausência de cicatrizes), parasitados (presença de uma cicatriz) e superparasitados (duas ou mais cicatrizes). A intensidade de parasitismo foi avaliada por meio da proporção de larvas não parasitadas, parasitadas ou superparasitadas. As variáveis intensidade de parasitismo e frequência de cicatrizes em virtude do hospedeiro e da linhagem do parasitoide foram analisadas quanto à distribuição de frequência utilizando-se o teste qui-quadrado. No teste sem escolha, independentemente da espécie hospedeira, as fêmeas das duas linhagens parasitaram as larvas oferecidas e, quando tiveram escolha, preferiram superparasitar larvas de A. fraterculus, que são maiores que as de C. capitata. A frequência de pupários sem cicatriz foi maior quando o hospedeiro oferecido foi diferente daquele em que a fêmea foi criada. Independentemente da linhagem do parasitoide, as fêmeas parasitam a maioria das larvas hospedeiras das duas espécies, mas discriminam o hospedeiro, preferindo superparasitar a espécie na qual foi criada o hospedeiro. A. fraterculus foi o preferido para postura de fêmeas.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to investigate the parasitism of two fruit fly species by different Diachasmimorpha longicaudata strains. Females of two parasitoid strains were reared on Ceratitis capitata or Anastrepha fraterculus that were conditioned in adapted containers. Individual parasitoids were offered 20 larvae for 1 h, using no-choice (20 C. capitata or 20 A. fraterculus) or free-choice (10 of each species) assays. Parasitism was verified by counting scars, and the pupae were classified as non-parasitized (no scars), parasitized (one scar), or superparasitized (multiple scars). Parasitism intensity was compared by evaluating the proportions of non-parasitized, parasitized, and superparasitized larvae. Parasitism intensity and scar frequency were analyzed as functions of host species and parasitoid strain, using chi-square tests. In the non-choice tests, females of both parasitoid strains parasitized the larvae, regardless of host species. However, when the parasitoids had a choice, they preferred to superparasitize A. fraterculus larvae, which are larger than C. capitata larvae. In addition, the female parasitoids parasitized most of the host larvae, regardless of parasitoid strain or host species. However, the frequency of non-parasitized pupae was higher when the offered host species was different from the one in which the parasitoid was reared, and the frequency of superparasitized pupae was higher when the offered host species was the same as the one in which the parasitoid was reared.

RESUMO O presente estudo avaliou o perfil hormonal e a expressão gênica de receptores de prostaglandina F2α (PGF2α), ocitocina e estrógeno no endométrio de vacas pós-parto tratadas com cloprostenol. Vinte vacas mestiças Holandês-Zebu foram tratadas com solução salina (tratamento CONT, n = 10) ou cloprostenol (tratamento CLO, n = 10), ambos administrados dois e cinco dias após o parto. Amostras de sangue foram coletadas nos dias dois, sete, 14, 21 e 28 pós-parto para mensuração de progesterona, de metabólito de PGF2α (PGFM) e de estradiol, e foram obtidas biópsias endometriais para quantificar a expressão de PTGFR, OXTR e ESR1. No tratamento CLO, a expressão gênica de receptores de ocitocina foi menor (P<0,05). As concentrações de estrógeno aumentaram progressivamente até o dia 14 (P<0,05). A maior expressão de OXTR foi observada no dia 14 (P<0,05). A expressão de ESR1 foi semelhante entre os tratamentos (P>0,05). Os níveis de PGFM foram altos durante todo o estudo. Conclui-se que a administração de cloprostenol nos dias dois e cinco pós-parto parece diminuir a expressão de OXTR no endométrio em vacas mestiças.

ABSTRACT The present study investigated the hormonal profile and expression of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α), oxytocin and estrogen receptors in uterine tissues of postpartum cows treated with cloprostenol. Twenty Holstein-Zebu crossbred cows were treated with saline solution (treatment CONT) or cloprostenol (treatment CLO), both administered two and five days postpartum. Blood samples were collected on days two, seven, 14, 21 and 28 postpartum for progesterone, PGF2α metabolite (PGFM) and estradiol determination, and endometrial biopsy was performed in order to quantify the expression of oxytocin receptor (OXTR), prostaglandin F receptor (PTGFR) and estrogen receptor 1 (ERS1) genes. In the CLO treatment, expression of OXTR was reduced (P<0.05) but no difference (P>0.05) between treatments was found for PTGFR and ERS1 expression. Estrogen concentrations increased progressively until day 14 (P<0.05) and the highest OXTR expression and lowest PTGFR expression were observed on day 14 (P<0.05) in both treatments. Serum PGFM concentrations were high throughout the experiment. In conclusion, cloprostenol administration at days two and five of postpartum seems to reduce OXTR expression in the endometrium in crossbred cows.

Resumo Objetivo: Verificar se a ocorrência de bronquiolite viral aguda (BVA) no primeiro ano de vida constitui fator de risco para asma aos seis anos considerando a história parental de asma. Métodos: Estudo de corte transversal aninhado a uma coorte de nascidos vivos. O questionário padronizado do International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Children (ISAAC) foi aplicado às mães para identificar asma nas crianças de seis anos. O diagnóstico de BVA foi feito por relato materno de diagnóstico médico e/ou presença de sintomas de coriza acompanhados de tosse, taquipneia e dispneia quando os participantes tinham três, seis, nove e 12 meses. Dados socioeconômicos, ambientais, história parental de asma e referentes à gestação foram coletados nas primeiras 72 horas de vida do recém-nascido e em visitas domiciliares prospectivas por entrevistadores treinados. Associação entre BVA e asma foi avaliada por análise de regressão logística e potencial efeito modificador da história parental verificado pela introdução do termo de interação no modelo de regressão logística ajustada. Resultados: A prevalência de BVA no primeiro ano de vida foi 68,6% (461). A ocorrência de BVA foi fator de risco para asma aos seis anos em crianças com história parental de asma OR: 2,66 (1,10-6,40), efeito modificador p = 0,002. História parental de asma OR: 2,07 IC95% (1,29-3,30) e sexo masculino OR: 1,69 IC95% (1,06-2,69) foram outros fatores de risco identificados para asma. Conclusão: BVA no primeiro ano de vida é fator de risco para asma em crianças com história parental de asma.

Abstract Objective: To verify whether the occurrence of acute viral bronchiolitis in the first year of life constitutes a risk factor for asthma at age 6 considering a parental history of asthma. Methods: Cross-sectional study in a cohort of live births. A standardized questionnaire of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood was applied to the mothers to identify asthma in children at the age of 6 years. Acute viral bronchiolitis diagnosis was performed by maternal report of a medical diagnosis and/or presence of symptoms of coryza accompanied by cough, tachypnea, and dyspnea when participants were 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Socioeconomic, environmental data, parental history of asthma, and data related to pregnancy were collected in the first 72 h of life of the newborn and in prospective home visits by trained interviewers. The association between acute viral bronchiolitis and asthma was evaluated by logistic regression analysis and potential modifier effect of parental history was verified by introducing an interaction term into the adjusted logistic regression model. Results: Prevalence of acute viral bronchiolitis in the first year of life was 68.6% (461). The occurrence of acute viral bronchiolitis was a risk factor for asthma at 6 years of age in children with parental history of asthma OR: 2.66, 95% CI (1.10-6.40), modifier effect p = 0.002. Parental history of asthma OR: 2.07, 95% CI (1.29-3.30) and male gender OR: 1.69, 95% CI, (1.06-2.69) were other identified risk factors for asthma. Conclusion: Acute viral bronchiolitis in the first year of life is a risk factor for asthma in children with parental history of asthma.

Abstract Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax have evolved with host switches between non-human primates (NHPs) and humans. Studies on the infection dynamics of Plasmodium species in NHPs will improve our understanding of the evolution of these parasites; however, such studies are hampered by the difficulty of handling animals in the field. The aim of this study was to detect genomic DNA of Plasmodium species from the faeces of New World monkeys. Faecal samples from 23 Alouatta clamitans from the Centre for Biological Research of Indaial (Santa Catarina, Brazil) were collected. Extracted DNA from faecal samples was used for molecular diagnosis of malaria by nested polymerase chain reaction. One natural infection with Plasmodium simium was identified by amplification of DNA extracted from the faeces of A. clamitans. Extracted DNA from a captive NHP was also used for parasite genotyping. The detection limit of the technique was evaluated in vitro using an artificial mixture of cultured P. falciparum in NHP faeces and determined to be 6.5 parasites/µL. Faecal samples of New World primates can be used to detect malaria infections in field surveys and also to monitor the genetic variability of parasites and dynamics of infection.

Abstract: En | Text: En | PDF: En

The determinations of cellulose and lignin are important in wood analysis from both perspectives: chemistry composition, commercial and industrial application of woods. In this context, Raman image spectroscopy was applied in the determination of cellulose and lignin distribution in wood surfaces of Swietenia macrophylla King (Mahogany) and Eucalyptus hybrid (E. urophylla × E. camaldulensis). The relative concentration maps were obtained by applying a multivariate curve resolution procedure. The estimated Raman spectra for cellulose and lignin agrees with the ones available in the literature. The cellulose concentration maps showed similar variations for both studied species with an average value of nearly 85% as obtained by the reference method. The lignin concentration maps were somewhat different. The Eucalyptus hybrid presents a broader distribution (20 to 45%) while for Mahogany it is nearly constant, around 25%, with localized regions presenting contents of 45 to 65% of lignin. The reference method showed that the mean lignin content of both species is 27%. The cellulose and lignin concentration maps agree with the biological functions of the anatomic structures observed in the images.

OBJETIVO: Determinar a prevalência de sintomas relacionados à asma, à rinite e ao eczema atópico em adolescentes (13-14 anos, AD) residentes em sete cidades brasileiras com o questionário escrito (QE) padronizado do International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (Isaac) e verificar a tendência temporal passados nove anos da última avaliação do Isaac fase 3 (ISF3). MÉTODOS: O QE Isaac foi respondido por 20.099 AD (13-14 anos) moradores em centros das regiões Norte, Nordeste, Sudeste e Sul. Os índices obtidos foram comparados aos do ISF3 com o teste não paramétrico (qui-quadrado ou Fisher) e foi estabelecida a taxa de incremento/decremento anual para cada um dos centros segundo o sintoma avaliado. RESULTADOS: Em relação ao ISF3, considerando-se os dados nacionais, houve queda da prevalência média de asma ativa (18,5% vs. 17,5%) com elevação da frequência de asma grave (4,5% vs. 4,7%) e de asma diagnosticada por médico (14,3% vs. 17,6%). Aumento da prevalência de rinite e rinoconjuntivite e de eczema flexural também ocorreram. CONCLUSÕES: A prevalência de asma, rinite e eczema atópico no Brasil foi variável. Valores mais altos, sobretudo de asma e eczema, foram observados nos centros localizados mais próximos ao Equador.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of symptoms of asthma, rhinitis, and atopic eczema in adolescents (AD; 13-14 years) living in seven Brazilian cities, by applying the standardized written questionnaire (WQ) of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC), and to evaluate the time trend nine years after the last assessment of ISAAC phase 3 (ISP3). METHODS: The ISAAC-WQ was answered by 20,099 AD from the Northern, Northeastern, Southeastern, and Southern Brazilian regions. Values obtained were compared to those observed in ISP3 using nonparametric (chi-squared or Fisher) tests, and the ratio of annual increment/decrement was established for each of the centers, according to the symptom assessed. RESULTS: Considering the national data and comparing to values of ISP3, there was a decrease in the mean prevalence of active asthma (18.5% vs. 17.5%) and an increase in the frequency of severe asthma (4.5% vs. 4.7%) and physician-diagnosed asthma (14.3% vs. 17.6%). An increase in prevalence of rhinitis, rhinoconjunctivitis, and atopic eczema was also observed. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of asthma, rhinitis, and atopic eczema in Brazil was variable; higher prevalence values, especially of asthma and eczema, were observed in regions located closer to the Equator.

OBJECTIVE: To identify environmental and personal factors associated with social participation in adults with various diseases/health conditions residing in the urban areas of the Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Region, Minas Gerais, Brazil. METHODS: Individual characteristics, social participation, and perception of environmental barriers of 226 patients treated at a public rehabilitation referral service were evaluated. Regression analyses with hierarchical entry of data were performed to verify the association of personal and environmental factors with social participation. RESULTS: More years of schooling, being engaged in the labor market, and consuming alcohol are conditions that increase the social participation of patients. Natural environment, transportation, access to health services, and social capital are perceived as the most important barriers to participation. Based on the linear regression analysis, the adjusted coefficient (R²adj) of the full model was 0.42 (P = 0.000). CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study may contribute to the planning and implementation of interventions and public policies at the individual and contextual level that are considered appropriate for reducing barriers and facilitate full participation.

OBJETIVO: Determinar los factores ambientales y personales asociados con la participación social de los adultos, en diversas situaciones de enfermedad o salud, que residen en las zonas urbanas de la Región Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte, del estado de Minas Gerais (Brasil). MÉTODOS: Se evaluaron las características individuales, la participación social y la percepción de las barreras ambientales de 226 pacientes tratados en un servicio público de rehabilitación de referencia. Se llevaron a cabo análisis de regresión con entrada jerárquica de los datos para comprobar la asociación de los factores personales y ambientales con la participación social. RESULTADOS: Un mayor número de años de escolarización, estar ocupado en el mercado de trabajo y el consumo de alcohol son condiciones que aumentan la participación social de los pacientes. El entorno natural, el transporte, el acceso a los servicios de salud y el capital social se perciben como las barreras más importantes a la participación. Con base en el análisis de regresión lineal, el coeficiente ajustado (R²aj) del modelo total fue de 0,42 (P = 0,000). CONCLUSIONES: Los resultados de este estudio pueden contribuir a la planificación y la ejecución de las intervenciones y políticas públicas a escalas individual y contextual que se consideren apropiadas para reducir las barreras y facilitar la plena participación.

Abstract: En | Text: En | PDF: En

Suid herpesvirus 1 (SuHV-1) is the causative agent of pseudorabies (PR), a disease of great importance due to the huge losses it causes in the swine industry. The aim of this study was to determine a method for genotyping SuHV-1 based on partial sequences of the gene coding for glycoprotein C (gC) and to elucidate the possible reasons for the variability of this region. A total of 109 gCsequences collected from GenBank were divided into five major groups after reconstruction of a phylogenetic tree by Bayesian inference. The analysis showed that a portion of gC (approximately 671 bp) is under selective pressure at various points that coincide with regions of protein disorder. It was also possible to divide SuHV-1 into five genotypes that evolved under different selective pressures. These genotypes are not specific to countries or continents, perhaps due to multiple introduction events related to the importation of swine.

Abstract: En | Text: En | PDF: En

PURPOSE: To compare sperm recovery from slow versus rapid thawing technique using thirty-eight normozoospermic human sperm samples, as follows. Twenty-one samples from men taking part in routine infertility screening exams (infertile group) and seventeen from proven fertile volunteer men with at least one child (fertile group). MATERIALS AND METHODS: After analysis of motility, concentration, strict morphology and functional integrity of membranes, sperm was divided into two aliquots of 0.5 mL each and frozen in TyB-G medium. Samples were thawed at room temperature (25 ± 2º C) for 25 minutes (slow thaw) or in a water bath at 75º C for 20 seconds followed by water bath at 37º C for 3 minutes (rapid thaw). After thawing, motility, strict morphology and functional integrity of membranes were evaluated by a blinded investigator. The results were expressed as mean ± standard deviation for parametric variables and analyzed using Student's t-test. Data with unpaired non-parametric variables were expressed as median (interquartile range) and analyzed by the Mann-Whitney test. Wilcoxon test was used to analyze non-parametric paired variables. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between techniques for total and progressive motility, percentage of normal morphological forms, hypoosmotic swelling test. CONCLUSIONS: Although the rapid thawing protocol was completed in a shorter time (three minutes and 20 seconds versus 25 minutes, respectively), it wasn't harmful since both techniques showed comparable spermatozoa recovery. Additional research is needed to confirm its safety in clinical research before introducing this methodology in routine assisted reproduction.

OBJETIVO: Rever os fatores de risco para infecção associada a cateteres venosos centrais e as recomendações para a sua prevenção. FONTES DOS DADOS: Foram revisados artigos publicados sobre o tema no PubMed, Cochrane Collaboration e Bireme. Os seguintes critérios de inclusão foram levados em consideração: trabalhos publicados entre 2000 e 2010, delineamento do estudo, população pediátrica hospitalizada com utilização de cateteres venosos centrais e artigos sobre infecção associada a cateteres venosos centrais. Além disso, foram utilizados documentos de referência dos Centers for Disease Control and Prevention e da Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária. SÍNTESE DOS DADOS: Os fatores de risco associados foram: tempo de utilização de acesso central, duração da internação e uso de cateter central de longa permanência, colocação de cateter venoso central em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva, doença cardiovascular não cirúrgica, recebimento de nutrição parenteral e de transfusão de hemoderivados. Entre as medidas preventivas, a literatura recomenda a implementação de protocolos e diretrizes multidisciplinares de cuidados na inserção e manutenção dos cateteres centrais, cuidados com a técnica de inserção dos cateteres venosos centrais, utilização de curativos impregnados com clorexidina, retirada precoce do cateter e adoção de programas de educação continuada para a equipe assistencial. CONCLUSÃO: O controle dos fatores de risco pode levar a uma redução igual ou superior a 40% na incidência dessas infecções. A vigilância do processo de inserção e cuidados com os cateteres vasculares centrais na população pediátrica orienta a padronização de rotinas dos serviços de saúde para a obtenção de taxas de referência para comparação intra e interinstitucionais.

OBJECTIVE: To review the risk factors of central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection and the recommendations for its prevention. SOURCES: PubMed, Cochrane Collaboration and Bireme were reviewed using the following inclusion criteria: studies published between 2000 and 2010, study design, hospitalized pediatric population with central venous catheters and studies about central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection. In addition, reference documents were retrieved from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency. SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS: Associated risk factors were: duration of central venous catheter use; length of hospitalization time; long-term indwelling central venous catheter; insertion of central venous catheter in intensive care unit; nonoperative cardiovascular disease; parenteral nutrition; and administration of blood products. The preventive measures recommended by studies in the literature are: development of records and multidisciplinary guidelines of care for central venous catheter insertion and maintenance; correct use of central venous catheter insertion technique; use of chlorhexidine-impregnated dressings; early catheter removal; and adoption of continued education programs for the healthcare team. CONCLUSION: The control of risk factors may lead to a reduction of 40% or greater in the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infection. Insertion surveillance and special attention to central venous catheter in pediatric populations should guide the standardization of healthcare routines to achieve standards for comparisons within and between institutions.

OBJETIVOS: Analisar as frequências de hospitalização e de atendimentos em serviços de urgência ocorridas em crianças e adolescentes antes e após o ingresso em programa de asma no Brasil. MÉTODOS: Prontuários de 608 pacientes menores de 15 anos e com asma foram avaliados retrospectivamente. As frequências de hospitalização por asma e de atendimentos em serviços de urgência para episódios agudos de broncoespasmo foram avaliadas nos períodos anterior e posterior à admissão no programa que disponibiliza medicamentos, preconiza abordagem integral do paciente e manejo profilático de acordo com a Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA). O período de observação antes do programa (AP) teve a duração de 12 meses enquanto o depois do programa (DP) variou de 12 a 36 meses. RESULTADOS: No período AP, ocorreram 895 hospitalizações e 5.375 atendimentos em serviços de urgência, e no período DP, ocorreram 180 hospitalizações e 713 atendimentos na urgência. O teste t de Student para amostras pareadas e o modelo de regressão para observações dependentes identificaram efeito significativo do programa em relação às variáveis estudadas (p = 0,000). CONCLUSÕES: A adoção das recomendações do GINA levou à redução significativa nas frequências de hospitalização e atendimentos na urgência em crianças e adolescentes com asma.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the frequency of hospitalizations and emergency department visits of children and adolescents before and after the enrolment in an asthma program. METHODS: Medical records of 608 asthmatics younger than 15 years were assessed retrospectively. The frequency of hospitalizations and emergency department visits caused by exacerbations were evaluated before and after enrolment in an asthma program. Patients were treated with medications and a wide prophylactic management program based on the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA). The before asthma program (BAP) period included 12 months before enrollment, whereas the after asthma program (AAP) period ranged from 12 to 56 months after enrollment. RESULTS: In the BAP period, there were 895 hospitalizations and 5,375 emergency department visits, whereas in the AAP period, there were 180 and 713, respectively. This decrease was significant in all statistical analyses (p = 0.000). CONCLUSIONS: Compliance with the GINA recommendations led to a significant decrease in the frequency of hospitalizations and emergency department visits in children and adolescents with asthma.

Abstract: Pt En | Text: Pt En | PDF: Pt | PDF: En

OBJETIVOS: Revisar os trabalhos publicados sobre os principais aspectos da bronquiolite obliterante pós-infecciosa, relacionados com sua história, etiologia, epidemiologia, fatores de risco, patogenia, alterações histológicas, manifestações clínicas, exames complementares, critérios diagnósticos, diagnóstico diferencial, tratamento e prognóstico. FONTES DOS DADOS: Realizou-se uma revisão não sistemática nas bases de dados MEDLINE e LILACS, selecionando-se 66 referências mais relevantes. SÍNTESE DOS DADOS: Na bronquiolite obliterante pós-infecciosa ocorre lesão do epitélio respiratório, e a gravidade clínica está relacionada aos diferentes graus de lesão e ao processo inflamatório. O diagnóstico baseia-se no quadro clínico, na exclusão dos principais diagnósticos diferenciais e no auxílio dos exames complementares. A tomografia computadorizada de alta resolução, principalmente com imagens em inspiração e expiração, possibilta a avaliação das pequenas vias aéreas. As provas de função pulmonar caracterizam-se por padrão obstrutivo fixo com redução acentuada do FEF25-75%. O tratamento não está bem estabelecido, e o uso de corticoides tem sido preconizado em forma de pulsoterapia ou por via inalatória em elevadas doses, no entanto, os dados da literatura a respeito de sua eficácia ainda são escassos. O prognóstico a longo prazo é variável, podendo haver melhora clínica ou evolução para insuficiência respiratória crônica e óbito. CONCLUSÃO: A bronquiolite obliterante pós-infecciosa é uma doença que cursa com elevada morbidade e deve ser abordada por equipe multidisciplinar com acompanhamento em longo prazo.

OBJECTIVES: To review publications about the main features of post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans and its history, etiology, epidemiology, risk factors, pathogenesis, histological findings, clinical presentation, complementary tests, diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. SOURCES: Non-systematic review of MEDLINE and LILACS databases and selection of 66 most relevant studies. SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS: In the post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans there is an insult to respiratory epithelial cells, and its clinical severity is associated with the degree of lesion and inflammation. Diagnosis is made according to clinical signs and symptoms, by exclusion of main differential diagnoses and with the aid of complementary tests. High resolution CT, particularly images obtained during inspiration and expiration, provide information for the evaluation of the small airways. Pulmonary function tests show fixed airway obstructions and marked decrease of FEF25-75%. Treatment has not been definitely established, and corticoids have been administered as pulse therapy or by inhalation of high doses of steroids. However, data about its efficacy are scarce in the literature. Long-term prognosis is variable, and there might be either clinical improvement or deterioration into respiratory insufficiency and death. CONCLUSION: Post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans is a disease with a high morbidity rate; it should be treated by a multidisciplinary team, and patients should be followed up for a long period of time.
