Ăndice de Massa Corporal, Idade, Maturação Sexual e a IncidĂȘncia de Hiperlordose Lombar em crianças e adolescentes
Introduction: Hyperlordosis can cause several degenerative spinal pathologies in children and adolescents.
Objective: Determine whether body mass index, age and sexual maturation predict the occurrence of hyperlordosis in children and adolescents. Method: The study analyzed 380 students aged between 10 and 18 years. Body mass index was evaluated using the reference values suggested by the Fitnessgram test battery, and sexual maturation through Tannerâs scale of self-assessed pubic hair growth. Postural assessment was conducted using the DIPA photogrammetry method, version 3.1. (Digital Image Based Postural Assessment) The SPSS 24.0 program was used to analyze the data, and the following statistical tests were applied: chi squared, Mann-Whitney, Fisherâs exact and binary logistic regression. Results: There was statistical significance between hyperlordosis, girlsâ age and puberty in boys (p 0.05). Conclusion: The girlsâ age and boysâ stage of puberty were associated with the occurrence of hyperlordosis.Introdução: A Hiperlordose lombar pode ocasionar diversas patologias degenerativas na coluna vertebral de crianças e adolescentes. Objetivo: Identificar se o Ăndice de Massa Corporal, a Idade e a Maturação Sexual sĂŁo previsores da ocorrĂȘncia da hiperlordose lombar em crianças e adolescentes. MĂ©todo: O estudo analisou 380 estudantes entre 10 e 18 anos. O Ăndice de Massa Corporal foi avaliado por meio dos valores de referĂȘncia sugeridos pela bateria de testes Fitnessgram e a maturação sexual por meio da auto-avaliação da pilosidade pubiana de Tanner. A avaliação postural foi realizada pelo mĂ©todo de fotogrametria DIPA versĂŁo 3.1. (Avaliação Postural Baseada em Imagem Digital). Para anĂĄlise dos dados foi utilizado o programa SPSS 24.0, tendo sido aplicados os testes estatĂsticos: Qui-Quadrado, Mann Whitney, Exato de Fisher e RegressĂŁo LogĂstica BinĂĄria. Resultados: Observou-se que houve significĂąncia estatĂstica entre a Hiperlordose lombar e a idade das meninas e a puberdade dos meninos (p0,05). ConclusĂŁo: A idade das meninas e a puberdade dos meninos foi associada Ă ocorrĂȘncia da hiperlordose lombar.This study was funded by CIEC (Center for

Giant Fibroadenoma Growing Rapidly During Pregnancy
Introduction: Giant fibroadenoma is a rare disease with unknown etiology During pregnancy fibroadenomas increase in size and may show lactational histologic changes. High concentrations of estrogen, progesterone, and prolactin promote the ductal growth and formation of tubuloalveolar structures.This may be a reason for the significant enlargement in this period.
Case Presentation: We presented a case of giant fibroadenoma, first detected at the onset of pregnancy, which grew rapidly and was excised surgically two months after the birth. There was no marked deformity in the breast nor a need to reconstruct it, despite the giant mass was excised and the mother was lactating.
Discussion: We presented a rare case of giant fibroadenoma in a lactating woman. A progressively growing mass in breast can lead to structural damages. The current management approach for giant fibroadenomas is still surgical excision
