TÉCNICAS AVANÇADAS DE LAPAROSCOPIA NA CIRURGIA GERAL: UMA REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA.
Minimally invasive surgery, also known as laparoscopy, has profoundly transformed the field of surgery over the past few decades. This surgical approach, in contrast to traditional open surgery, is characterized by the use of small incisions and specialized instruments to perform surgical procedures. It has demonstrated a number of notable advantages, such as reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery times for patients. This article consists of an integrative review of advanced laparoscopy techniques in general surgery. This is an integrative review, in which basic, qualitative, exploratory and bibliographic research was carried out in the following databases: Pubmed, MedlinePlus, Biblioteca Eletrônica Científica Online and Google Scholar. Minimally invasive surgery has undergone significant advances over the years, driven by progress in techniques, technologies and robotics. Today, procedures such as endoluminal resection surgery, image-guided navigation, and remotely controlled robotic surgery have become commonplace in operating rooms. Furthermore, recent innovations such as robotic-assisted surgery, natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery, and single-incision laparoscopic surgery represent the latest advances in minimally invasive surgery. Featured technologies include Amadeus Composer and TELELAP Alf-X. Minimally invasive surgery represents a significant advancement in surgical practice, offering clear benefits such as reduced pain, shorter recovery times and shorter hospital stays.A cirurgia minimamente invasiva, também conhecida como laparoscopia, tem transformado profundamente o campo da cirurgia ao longo das últimas décadas.

Linfoma de Hodgkin com manifestações pulmonares exclusivas: Hodgkin's lymphoma with unique pulmonary manifestations
Introdução: O envolvimento pulmonar associado ao linfoma de Hodgkin pode ocorrer tanto de forma primária como secundária. A primária é uma entidade rara e origina-se do tecido linfóide associado a mucosa. Já a secundária, mais frequente, pode resultar da proliferação direta dos gânglios linfáticos mediastinais ou de disseminação linfática ou hematogênica de outros locais. Apresentação do caso: Paciente do sexo feminino, 42 anos, com quadro de tosse, odinofagia, dor em seios da face. Há 7 dias iniciou quadro de dispneia e febre, com piora nos últimos 3 dias. Procurou pronto atendimento diversas vezes, com diagnóstico e tratamento de sinusite. Foi realizado Rx de seios da face, sem alterações. Hemograma completo, VHS, teste para tuberculose, sem achados específicos. Discussão: O linfoma Hodgkin pulmonar primário é uma patologia incomum, com poucos casos documentados, consistindo em menos de 1% de todos os linfomas. Apresenta discreta preponderância de incidência em mulheres (1,4:1 F:M) com distribuição bimodal de idade (<35 e >60 anos). Ocorre quando a proliferação linfóide clonal afeta os pulmões e não apresenta disseminação extrapulmonar no momento do diagnóstico ou nos 3 meses seguintes. Conclusão: O tratamento é variável na literatura, devido a falta de diretrizes, e é determinado de acordo com a extensão da patologia. A abordagem pode ser via cirurgia, radioterapia ou quimioterapia, sendo que muitas vezes é realizada uma associação dos métodos
Craniofaringioma adamantinomatoso: Adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma
Introdução: Craniofaringiomas Adamantinomatosos são tumores do Sistema Nervoso Central, localizados no ducto craniofaríngeo. Provenientes de células escamosas e com curso tipicamente benigno, tem prevalência na infância e incidência até, aproximadamente, os 20 anos de idade. O diagnóstico é frequentemente tardio pelo seu crescimento lentificado e clínica inespecífica, agrupada em: cefaléia, distúrbios visuais e de caráter hormonal. O controle sintomático pode ser realizado farmacologicamente, embora a localização anatômica favoreça uma abordagem cirúrgica para resolução da patologia, considerando, também, tratamento adjuvante. Apresentação do caso: Paciente do sexo feminino, 9 anos de idade, estudante e natural de Rio Verde - GO, é levado pela mãe ao pediatra, que relata que o paciente tem apresentado cefaleia holocraniana intermitente e sem fator causal específico, há aproximadamente 70 dias. Associado ao quadro, refere-se a ganho de peso sem mudanças significativas na dieta ou hábitos de vida, no entanto, não soube especificar o ganho em quilogramas. Foi solicitada Ressonância Magnética de crânio, que confirmou o diagnóstico de Craniofaringioma Adamantinomatoso. Discussão: O desenvolvimento das técnicas cirúrgicas para ressecção tumoral permite optar por uma ressecção completa ou subtotal associada à radioterapia adjuvante (RT), sendo que a segunda permitiu uma taxa maior de sobrevida livre de progressão de doença. Porém, não pode-se excluir a primeira opção, já que é preconizada para indicações específicas, sobretudo diante da localização tumoral. Portanto, a abordagem do tumor deve ser planejada de modo individualizado, já que há risco de prejuízo na qualidade de vida e funcionalidade do indivíduo, em decorrência do sítio patológico e estruturas potencialmente afetadas. Conclusão: Para estabelecer o tratamento correto deve-se observar a localização e os impactos de cada intervenção avaliando as particularidades de cada paciente
Contributions of mean and shape of blood pressure distribution to worldwide trends and variations in raised blood pressure: A pooled analysis of 1018 population-based measurement studies with 88.6 million participants
© The Author(s) 2018. Background: Change in the prevalence of raised blood pressure could be due to both shifts in the entire distribution of blood pressure (representing the combined effects of public health interventions and secular trends) and changes in its high-blood-pressure tail (representing successful clinical interventions to control blood pressure in the hypertensive population). Our aim was to quantify the contributions of these two phenomena to the worldwide trends in the prevalence of raised blood pressure. Methods: We pooled 1018 population-based studies with blood pressure measurements on 88.6 million participants from 1985 to 2016. We first calculated mean systolic blood pressure (SBP), mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and prevalence of raised blood pressure by sex and 10-year age group from 20-29 years to 70-79 years in each study, taking into account complex survey design and survey sample weights, where relevant. We used a linear mixed effect model to quantify the association between (probittransformed) prevalence of raised blood pressure and age-group- and sex-specific mean blood pressure. We calculated the contributions of change in mean SBP and DBP, and of change in the prevalence-mean association, to the change in prevalence of raised blood pressure. Results: In 2005-16, at the same level of population mean SBP and DBP, men and women in South Asia and in Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa would have the highest prevalence of raised blood pressure, and men and women in the highincome Asia Pacific and high-income Western regions would have the lowest. In most region-sex-age groups where the prevalence of raised blood pressure declined, one half or more of the decline was due to the decline in mean blood pressure. Where prevalence of raised blood pressure has increased, the change was entirely driven by increasing mean blood pressure, offset partly by the change in the prevalence-mean association. Conclusions: Change in mean blood pressure is the main driver of the worldwide change in the prevalence of raised blood pressure, but change in the high-blood-pressure tail of the distribution has also contributed to the change in prevalence, especially in older age groups
Global variation in diabetes diagnosis and prevalence based on fasting glucose and hemoglobin A1c
Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) are both used to diagnose diabetes, but these measurements can identify different people as having diabetes. We used data from 117 population-based studies and quantified, in different world regions, the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes, and whether those who were previously undiagnosed and detected as having diabetes in survey screening, had elevated FPG, HbA1c or both. We developed prediction equations for estimating the probability that a person without previously diagnosed diabetes, and at a specific level of FPG, had elevated HbA1c, and vice versa. The age-standardized proportion of diabetes that was previously undiagnosed and detected in survey screening ranged from 30% in the high-income western region to 66% in south Asia. Among those with screen-detected diabetes with either test, the age-standardized proportion who had elevated levels of both FPG and HbA1c was 29-39% across regions; the remainder had discordant elevation of FPG or HbA1c. In most low- and middle-income regions, isolated elevated HbA1c was more common than isolated elevated FPG. In these regions, the use of FPG alone may delay diabetes diagnosis and underestimate diabetes prevalence. Our prediction equations help allocate finite resources for measuring HbA1c to reduce the global shortfall in diabetes diagnosis and surveillance
Repositioning of the global epicentre of non-optimal cholesterol
High blood cholesterol is typically considered a feature of wealthy western countries(1,2). However, dietary and behavioural determinants of blood cholesterol are changing rapidly throughout the world(3) and countries are using lipid-lowering medications at varying rates. These changes can have distinct effects on the levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol, which have different effects on human health(4,5). However, the trends of HDL and non-HDL cholesterol levels over time have not been previously reported in a global analysis. Here we pooled 1,127 population-based studies that measured blood lipids in 102.6 million individuals aged 18 years and older to estimate trends from 1980 to 2018 in mean total, non-HDL and HDL cholesterol levels for 200 countries. Globally, there was little change in total or non-HDL cholesterol from 1980 to 2018. This was a net effect of increases in low- and middle-income countries, especially in east and southeast Asia, and decreases in high-income western countries, especially those in northwestern Europe, and in central and eastern Europe. As a result, countries with the highest level of non-HDL cholesterol-which is a marker of cardiovascular riskchanged from those in western Europe such as Belgium, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Malta in 1980 to those in Asia and the Pacific, such as Tokelau, Malaysia, The Philippines and Thailand. In 2017, high non-HDL cholesterol was responsible for an estimated 3.9 million (95% credible interval 3.7 million-4.2 million) worldwide deaths, half of which occurred in east, southeast and south Asia. The global repositioning of lipid-related risk, with non-optimal cholesterol shifting from a distinct feature of high-income countries in northwestern Europe, north America and Australasia to one that affects countries in east and southeast Asia and Oceania should motivate the use of population-based policies and personal interventions to improve nutrition and enhance access to treatment throughout the world.Peer reviewe
Worldwide trends in underweight and obesity from 1990 to 2022: a pooled analysis of 3663 population-representative studies with 222 million children, adolescents, and adults
Background Underweight and obesity are associated with adverse health outcomes throughout the life course. We
estimated the individual and combined prevalence of underweight or thinness and obesity, and their changes, from
1990 to 2022 for adults and school-aged children and adolescents in 200 countries and territories.
Methods We used data from 3663 population-based studies with 222 million participants that measured height and
weight in representative samples of the general population. We used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate
trends in the prevalence of different BMI categories, separately for adults (age ≥20 years) and school-aged children
and adolescents (age 5–19 years), from 1990 to 2022 for 200 countries and territories. For adults, we report the
individual and combined prevalence of underweight (BMI <18·5 kg/m2) and obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m2). For schoolaged children and adolescents, we report thinness (BMI <2 SD below the median of the WHO growth reference)
and obesity (BMI >2 SD above the median).
Findings From 1990 to 2022, the combined prevalence of underweight and obesity in adults decreased in
11 countries (6%) for women and 17 (9%) for men with a posterior probability of at least 0·80 that the observed
changes were true decreases. The combined prevalence increased in 162 countries (81%) for women and
140 countries (70%) for men with a posterior probability of at least 0·80. In 2022, the combined prevalence of
underweight and obesity was highest in island nations in the Caribbean and Polynesia and Micronesia, and
countries in the Middle East and north Africa. Obesity prevalence was higher than underweight with posterior
probability of at least 0·80 in 177 countries (89%) for women and 145 (73%) for men in 2022, whereas the converse
was true in 16 countries (8%) for women, and 39 (20%) for men. From 1990 to 2022, the combined prevalence of
thinness and obesity decreased among girls in five countries (3%) and among boys in 15 countries (8%) with a
posterior probability of at least 0·80, and increased among girls in 140 countries (70%) and boys in 137 countries (69%)
with a posterior probability of at least 0·80. The countries with highest combined prevalence of thinness and
obesity in school-aged children and adolescents in 2022 were in Polynesia and Micronesia and the Caribbean for
both sexes, and Chile and Qatar for boys. Combined prevalence was also high in some countries in south Asia, such
as India and Pakistan, where thinness remained prevalent despite having declined. In 2022, obesity in school-aged
children and adolescents was more prevalent than thinness with a posterior probability of at least 0·80 among girls
in 133 countries (67%) and boys in 125 countries (63%), whereas the converse was true in 35 countries (18%) and
42 countries (21%), respectively. In almost all countries for both adults and school-aged children and adolescents,
the increases in double burden were driven by increases in obesity, and decreases in double burden by declining
underweight or thinness.
Interpretation The combined burden of underweight and obesity has increased in most countries, driven by an
increase in obesity, while underweight and thinness remain prevalent in south Asia and parts of Africa. A healthy
nutrition transition that enhances access to nutritious foods is needed to address the remaining burden of
underweight while curbing and reversing the increase in obesit
Height and body-mass index trajectories of school-aged children and adolescents from 1985 to 2019 in 200 countries and territories: a pooled analysis of 2181 population-based studies with 65 million participants
Summary Background Comparable global data on health and nutrition of school-aged children and adolescents are scarce. We aimed to estimate age trajectories and time trends in mean height and mean body-mass index (BMI), which measures weight gain beyond what is expected from height gain, for school-aged children and adolescents. Methods For this pooled analysis, we used a database of cardiometabolic risk factors collated by the Non-Communicable Disease Risk Factor Collaboration. We applied a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends from 1985 to 2019 in mean height and mean BMI in 1-year age groups for ages 5–19 years. The model allowed for non-linear changes over time in mean height and mean BMI and for non-linear changes with age of children and adolescents, including periods of rapid growth during adolescence. Findings We pooled data from 2181 population-based studies, with measurements of height and weight in 65 million participants in 200 countries and territories. In 2019, we estimated a difference of 20 cm or higher in mean height of 19-year-old adolescents between countries with the tallest populations (the Netherlands, Montenegro, Estonia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina for boys; and the Netherlands, Montenegro, Denmark, and Iceland for girls) and those with the shortest populations (Timor-Leste, Laos, Solomon Islands, and Papua New Guinea for boys; and Guatemala, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Timor-Leste for girls). In the same year, the difference between the highest mean BMI (in Pacific island countries, Kuwait, Bahrain, The Bahamas, Chile, the USA, and New Zealand for both boys and girls and in South Africa for girls) and lowest mean BMI (in India, Bangladesh, Timor-Leste, Ethiopia, and Chad for boys and girls; and in Japan and Romania for girls) was approximately 9–10 kg/m2. In some countries, children aged 5 years started with healthier height or BMI than the global median and, in some cases, as healthy as the best performing countries, but they became progressively less healthy compared with their comparators as they grew older by not growing as tall (eg, boys in Austria and Barbados, and girls in Belgium and Puerto Rico) or gaining too much weight for their height (eg, girls and boys in Kuwait, Bahrain, Fiji, Jamaica, and Mexico; and girls in South Africa and New Zealand). In other countries, growing children overtook the height of their comparators (eg, Latvia, Czech Republic, Morocco, and Iran) or curbed their weight gain (eg, Italy, France, and Croatia) in late childhood and adolescence. When changes in both height and BMI were considered, girls in South Korea, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and some central Asian countries (eg, Armenia and Azerbaijan), and boys in central and western Europe (eg, Portugal, Denmark, Poland, and Montenegro) had the healthiest changes in anthropometric status over the past 3·5 decades because, compared with children and adolescents in other countries, they had a much larger gain in height than they did in BMI. The unhealthiest changes—gaining too little height, too much weight for their height compared with children in other countries, or both—occurred in many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, New Zealand, and the USA for boys and girls; in Malaysia and some Pacific island nations for boys; and in Mexico for girls. Interpretation The height and BMI trajectories over age and time of school-aged children and adolescents are highly variable across countries, which indicates heterogeneous nutritional quality and lifelong health advantages and risks
