Comprehensive Health Care Program for Performing Artists: account of the experience developed in an University service in Minas Gerais
This is an experience report whose aim was to present the Comprehensive Health Care Program for Performing Artists of the Specialized Service in Occupational Health at the Hospital das Clínicas of the Federal University of Minas Gerais and report the actions developed by the interdisciplinary team. Actions comprise occupational clinical evaluation, including analysis of the activity with musical instruments; technical visits to workplaces, individual assistance or group activities and, educational and preventive actions, such as the preparation of a leaflet and workshops about musician’s health. From December 2009 to May 2015, 122 musicians were assisted, most of them instrumentalists, male, with a mean age of 32 years. Reevaluations and reports of workers assisted showed that program objectives have been met, especially regarding the self-management of coping strategies of illness risks at work. To give scientific support to the results, a protocol systematizing group activities, which is under evaluation, was prepared. It is hoped that the experience of the SEST regarding musician’s health can assist other professionals and services to organize themselves to cope with this group’s demands.Trata-se de um relato de experiência cujo objetivo foi apresentar o Programa de Atenção Integral a Saúde do Artista de Performance do Serviço Especializado em Saúde do Trabalhador do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais e relatar as ações desenvolvidas pela equipe interdisciplinar. As ações compreendem avaliação clínico-ocupacional, incluindo análise da atividade com o instrumento musical; visitas técnicas aoslocais de trabalho, assistência individual ou atividades em grupo e, ações educativas e preventivas, como a elaboração de um folheto informativo e workshops sobre a saúde do músico. De dezembro de 2009 a maio de 2015 foram atendidos 122 músicos, sendo amaioria instrumentistas, do sexo masculino, com média de idade de 32 anos. As reavaliações e os relatos dos trabalhadores assistidos demonstraram que os objetivos do programa vêm sendo alcançados, principalmente no que diz respeito ao autogerenciamento das estratégias de enfrentamento dos riscos de adoecimento no trabalho. Para dar sustentação científica aos resultados, foi elaborado um protocolo sistematizando as atividades em grupo, que se encontra em fase de avaliação. Espera-se que a experiência do SEST com relação a saúde do músico possa auxiliar outros profissionais e serviços a se organizar frente as demandas deste coletivo
Development and prevention of work related disorders in a sample of Brazilian violinists
Electroencephalographic Response in Juvenile Tambaqui, <i>Colossoma macropomum</i>, Exposed to Short-Term Anaesthetic Baths with Geraniol and Citronellol
The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of neuronal depression in juvenile tambaqui, Colossoma macropomum, exposed to geraniol (GRL) and citronellol (CTL) in immersion baths. A total of 36 juveniles weighing 35.2 ± 9.4 g were used, organised into six experimental groups: I—control (clean water); II—ethanol (water containing the highest volume of ethanol used in the anaesthetic pre-dilution); III—GRL induction (70 µL·L−1); IV—CTL induction (90 µL·L−1); V—GRL recovery; VI—CTL recovery. Electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings were performed for 300 s in each group. EEG tracings of the control and ethanol groups showed regular and similar activity. Upon exposure to the anaesthetics, irregularities were observed in the tracings showing neuronal excitability and increased amplitudes, mainly in the case of CTL. Overall, GRL-exposed fish showed depression of the central nervous system with low and regular tracings throughout induction, presenting a gradual recovery and stable tracings, which were consistent with an adequate general anaesthetic effect. On the other hand, fish exposed to CTL showed altered EEG activity during induction, that could be considered incompatible with an appropriate anaesthetic effect and smooth recovery, presenting high and irregular EEG tracing amplitudes
