Exercícios físicos em tempo de tela ativo: exergames podem ser uma ferramenta no controle da saúde de diabeticos tipo 1 e 2?

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial disease that has caused many other problems for the population. These problems are also a reflection of a time of exacerbated screen time, however, new types of video games, active videogames (VGAs) have become a good option of physical activities/ exercise for all age groups.Objective: To analyze, through a systematic review, the changes caused by the practice of VGAs in the diabetic population type 1 and 2.Methods: A systematic review was performed in the original articles of Pubmed, Scielo, Bireme, Web of Science, CAPES Periodicals and Scopus, with the following descriptors: “diabetes” four times in combination with the Boolean AND and the terms: “exergames,” “video game” “virtual technologies” and “exercise games.”. Three stages were performed for searching, in each step, carried out a specific task, performed simultaneously by two investigators independently.Results: It has seen a few VGAs and diabetes studies. No specifically with diabetes mellitus type 1 and VGAs (0% of the studies). Otherwise, it was verified many benefits for individuals with diabetes mellitus 2 such: neurophysiological, motor behavior, metabolic, anthropometric, quality of life, balance, strength, gait, and even has recommended intensity (moderate) by national and international exercises organ.Conclusion: VGAs can be considered as a tool for non-pharmacological treatment of adults and elderly type 2 diabetes.Introdução: A utilização exacerbada do tempo de tela inativo (TV, computador e videogames) pode proporcionar surgimento de doenças crônicas degenerativas como a diabetes tipo 2 e agravar a diabetes tipo 1, devido ao efeitos deletérios de atividade ocupacionais inativas fisicamente. Porém, os videogames ativos (VGAs), têm se tornado uma opção viável de atividade física/exercício para todas as faixas etárias e em diversa populações.Objetivo: analisar, por meio de uma revisão sistemática, as alterações proporcionadas pela prática de VGAs na população diabética tipo 1 e 2.Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática nos artigos originais da Pubmed, Scielo, Bireme, Web of Science, Periódicos CAPES e Scopus, com os seguintes descritores: “diabetes” quatro vezes em combinação com o booleano AND e os termos: “exergames”, “vídeo game”, “virtual technologies” e “exercise games”. Foram realizadas três etapas para as buscas, sendo em cada etapa realizada uma tarefa específica, efetuada por dois pesquisadores simultaneamente, de forma independente.Resultados: Pode-se perceber que pouco se tem sobre os VGAs (quatro estudos) e diabetes. Especificamente diabetes mellitus tipo 1 e VGAs (0% dos estudos). Porém, percebeu-se diversos benefícios para os indivíduos com diabetes mellitus 2 como: neurofisiológicos, comportamento motor, metabólicos, antropométricos, qualidade de vida, equilíbrio, força, marcha e até mesmo, possui intensidade recomendada pelos órgãos nacionais e internacionais (moderada).Conclusão: Os VGAs como ferramenta coadjuvante proporcionam benefícios no tratamento não farmacológico para pessoas diabéticas tipo 2 adultas e idosas

Health-related quality of life in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus in the different geographical regions of Brazil : data from the Brazilian Type 1 Diabetes Study Group

Background: In type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) management, enhancing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is as important as good metabolic control and prevention of secondary complications. This study aims to evaluate possible regional differences in HRQoL, demographic features and clinical characteristics of patients with T1DM in Brazil, a country of continental proportions, as well as investigate which variables could influence the HRQoL of these individuals and contribute to these regional disparities. Methods: This was a retrospective, cross-sectional, multicenter study performed by the Brazilian Type 1 Diabetes Study Group (BrazDiab1SG), by analyzing EuroQol scores from 3005 participants with T1DM, in 28 public clinics, among all geographical regions of Brazil. Data on demography, economic status, chronic complications, glycemic control and lipid profile were also collected. Results: We have found that the North-Northeast region presents a higher index in the assessment of the overall health status (EQ-VAS) compared to the Southeast (74.6 ± 30 and 70.4 ± 19, respectively; p < 0.05). In addition, North- Northeast presented a lower frequency of self-reported anxiety-depression compared to all regions of the country (North-Northeast: 1.53 ± 0.6; Southeast: 1.65 ± 0.7; South: 1.72 ± 0.7; Midwest: 1.67 ± 0.7; p < 0.05). These findings could not be entirely explained by the HbA1c levels or the other variables examined. Conclusions: Our study points to the existence of additional factors not yet evaluated that could be determinant in the HRQoL of people with T1DM and contribute to these regional disparities

A inclusão escolar para pacientes com deficiência intelectual ou atraso cognitivo: School inclusion for patients with intellectual disability or cognitive delay

A educação inclusiva é fundamental para que crianças e adolescentes vivenciem ideias e experiências de ensino aprendizagem significativa, desenvolvam a autonomia e conquistem direitos de cidadania. No entanto, existem obstáculos que precisam ser compreendidos e superados e estratégias que podem ser adotadas para promover a inclusão de crianças com deficiência intelectual ou atraso cognitivo. Diante disso, este estudo tem como objetivo compreender o processo de inclusão escolar de alunos com deficiência intelectual ou atraso cognitivo. Para isso, trata-se de uma revisão sistemática de literatura, desenvolvida a partir da seleção de estudos nas bases de dados Scielo, Pubmed e BVS/Medline a partir do uso de descritores DeCS/MeSH e aplicação de critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Após a análise e interpretação dos dados, concluiu-se que, no processo de inclusão de alunos com deficiência intelectual ou atraso cognitivo no ambiente escolar, a educação inclusiva interfere positivamente na qualidade de vida desses. Para isso, destacam-se uma série de estratégias relevantes, tais como: envolvimento de escola como um todo, dos professores e da família; compreender a deficiência; valorizar os interesses e habilidades dos alunos com deficiência; estimular a autodeterminação desses e a convivência entre pessoas deficientes e não deficientes; promover a socialização por meio de jogos; utilizar atividades adaptadas; e cuidar da formação inicial e continuada dos professores, contemplando ideias sobre educação inclusiva

Coinfection with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and dengue virus in fatal cases

Abstract We report on four patients with fatal influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and dengue virus coinfections. Clinical, necropsy and histopathologic findings presented in all cases were characteristic of influenza-dengue coinfections, and all were laboratory-confirmed for both infections. The possibility of influenza and dengue coinfection should be considered in locations where these two viruses&#8217; epidemic periods coincide to avoid fatal outcomes. Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection caused by one of the four dengue viruses (DENV-1 to 4). Each of these viruses is capable of causing nonspecific febrile illnesses, classic dengue fever and dengue haemorrhagic fever (Gubler 1998). As a result, dengue is often difficult to diagnose clinically, especially because peak dengue season often coincides with that of other common febrile illnesses in tropical regions (Chacon et al. 2015). In April 2009, a new virus, in&#64258;uenza A/H1N1/pandemic (FluA/H1N1/09pdm), caused a severe outbreak in Mexico. The virus quickly spread throughout the world, and in June 2009, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic (WHO 2010). In Brazil, the first laboratory confirmed case of FluA/H1N1/09pdm was in July 2009 (Pires Neto et al. 2013). The state of Ceará, in Northeast Brazil, is a dengue endemic area. In this state, the virus influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 has circulated since 2009, and through the first half of 2012, 11 deaths caused by the virus were confirmed (Pires Neto et al. 2013). The influenza and dengue seasons in Ceará overlap, which led to diagnostic difficulties. We report four cases of laboratory-confirmed coinfection of deadly influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 with DENV, which occurred during the dengue and influenza season in 2012 and 2013 in Ceará

Dengue 4 in Ceará, Brazil: characterisation of epidemiological and laboratorial aspects and causes of death during the first epidemic in the state

BACKGROUND The first dengue cases in Brazil with laboratory confirmation occurred in the northern region of the country, with the isolation of two serotypes, dengue virus 1 (DENV-1) and DENV-4. In Ceará, the introduction of DENV-4 was reported during a DENV-1 epidemic in 2011, with only two isolations. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to characterise the first DENV-4 epidemic in the state of Ceará, Brazil. METHODS The study population was composed of patients with suspected dengue that were reported to health care units from January to December 2012. The laboratory confirmation of infection was made by viral isolation, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), AgNS1, immunohistochemistry and IgM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). MAIN CONCLUSIONS In the study year, 72,211 suspected dengue cases were reported and 51,865 of these cases (71.8%) were confirmed to be positive. Co-circulation of three serotypes, DENV-1, DENV-3 and DENV-4, was detected with a predominance of DENV-4 (95.3%). Most cases were not severe, but there were 44 fatal outcomes. DENV-4 Genotype II was identified for the first time in Ceará

A retrospective investigation was undertaken to describe clinical, epidemiological, and viral genomic features associated with deaths caused by CHIKV in Ceará state, northeast Brazil. METHODS: Sera, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and tissue samples from 100 fatal cases with suspected arbovirus infection were tested for CHIKV, dengue virus (DENV), and Zika virus (ZIKV). Clinical, epidemiological, and death reports were obtained for patients with confirmed CHIKV infection. Logistic regression analysis was undertaken to identify independent factors associated with risk of death during CHIKV infection. Phylogenetic analysis was conducted using whole genomes from a subset of cases. RESULTS: Sixty-eight fatal cases had CHIKV infection confirmed by reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (52.9%), viral antigen (41.1%), and/or specific immunoglobulin M (63.2%). Co-detection of CHIKV with DENV was found in 22% of fatal cases, ZIKV in 2.9%, and DENV and ZIKV in 1.5%. A total of 39 CHIKV deaths presented with neurological signs and symptoms, and CHIKV-RNA was found in the CSF of 92.3% of these patients. Fatal outcomes were associated with irreversible multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Patients with diabetes appear to die at a higher frequency during the subacute phase. Genetic analysis showed circulation of 2 CHIKV East-Central-South African (ECSA) lineages in Ceará and revealed no unique virus genomic mutation associated with fatal outcome. CONCLUSIONS: The investigation of the largest cross-sectional cohort of CHIKV deaths to date reveals that CHIKV-ECSA strains can cause death in individuals from both risk and nonrisk groups, including young adults. © The Author(s) 2020.
