Estudo Sobre a Anorexia e Bulimia Nervosa em Universitárias

To detect prevalence that indicates Anorexia and Bulimia in university students, considering marital status, course, BMI, depression and physical activity. The Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) and the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) were administered to 352 female students. In comparison with the other courses, students of the nutrition course showed higher positive prevalence of Anorexia (20,2%), depression (23,2%), and practitioners of physical activity (19,2%). Occupational therapy and non practitioners showed higher negative prevalence. As for Bulimia, obese persons (35,7%) and over weight persons (21,1%) showed serious concern about their body image. Persons under weight did not show this concern (93,8%). The nutrition course showed higher prevalence that indicates Anorexia and depressed people tend to have worse outcomes on both instruments.  Detectar as prevalências indicativas de Anorexia e Bulimia em estudantes universitárias, considerando estado civil, curso, IMC, depressão e atividade física. Aplicaram-se em 352 alunas o Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) e o Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). O curso de nutrição apresentou maior prevalência positiva de Anorexia (20,2%), as pessoas com depressão (23,2%) e praticantes de atividade física (19,2%). A Terapia Ocupacional e não praticantes apresentaram maior prevalência negativa. Quanto à Bulimia, as pessoas obesas (35,7%) e com sobre peso (21,1%) apresentaram preocupação grave com a imagem corporal; as pessoas abaixo do peso não apresentaram (93,8%). O curso de nutrição apresentou maior prevalência indicativa de Anorexia; e pessoas com depressão tendem a resultados piores nos dois instrumentos. &nbsp

Effects of pre-operative isolation on postoperative pulmonary complications after elective surgery: an international prospective cohort study

We aimed to determine the impact of pre-operative isolation on postoperative pulmonary complications after elective surgery during the global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. We performed an international prospective cohort study including patients undergoing elective surgery in October 2020. Isolation was defined as the period before surgery during which patients did not leave their house or receive visitors from outside their household. The primary outcome was postoperative pulmonary complications, adjusted in multivariable models for measured confounders. Pre-defined sub-group analyses were performed for the primary outcome. A total of 96,454 patients from 114 countries were included and overall, 26,948 (27.9%) patients isolated before surgery. Postoperative pulmonary complications were recorded in 1947 (2.0%) patients of which 227 (11.7%) were associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Patients who isolated pre-operatively were older, had more respiratory comorbidities and were more commonly from areas of high SARS-CoV-2 incidence and high-income countries. Although the overall rates of postoperative pulmonary complications were similar in those that isolated and those that did not (2.1% vs 2.0%, respectively), isolation was associated with higher rates of postoperative pulmonary complications after adjustment (adjusted OR 1.20, 95%CI 1.05-1.36, p = 0.005). Sensitivity analyses revealed no further differences when patients were categorised by: pre-operative testing; use of COVID-19-free pathways; or community SARS-CoV-2 prevalence. The rate of postoperative pulmonary complications increased with periods of isolation longer than 3 days, with an OR (95%CI) at 4-7 days or >= 8 days of 1.25 (1.04-1.48), p = 0.015 and 1.31 (1.11-1.55), p = 0.001, respectively. Isolation before elective surgery might be associated with a small but clinically important increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. Longer periods of isolation showed no reduction in the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. These findings have significant implications for global provision of elective surgical care
