A História da Alimentação: balizas historiográficas

Os M. pretenderam traçar um quadro da História da Alimentação, não como um novo ramo epistemológico da disciplina, mas como um campo em desenvolvimento de práticas e atividades especializadas, incluindo pesquisa, formação, publicações, associações, encontros acadêmicos, etc. Um breve relato das condições em que tal campo se assentou faz-se preceder de um panorama dos estudos de alimentação e temas correia tos, em geral, segundo cinco abardagens Ia biológica, a econômica, a social, a cultural e a filosófica!, assim como da identificação das contribuições mais relevantes da Antropologia, Arqueologia, Sociologia e Geografia. A fim de comentar a multiforme e volumosa bibliografia histórica, foi ela organizada segundo critérios morfológicos. A seguir, alguns tópicos importantes mereceram tratamento à parte: a fome, o alimento e o domínio religioso, as descobertas européias e a difusão mundial de alimentos, gosto e gastronomia. O artigo se encerra com um rápido balanço crítico da historiografia brasileira sobre o tema

Simple scoring system to predict in-hospital mortality after surgery for infective endocarditis

BACKGROUND: Aspecific scoring systems are used to predict the risk of death postsurgery in patients with infective endocarditis (IE). The purpose of the present study was both to analyze the risk factors for in-hospital death, which complicates surgery for IE, and to create a mortality risk score based on the results of this analysis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Outcomes of 361 consecutive patients (mean age, 59.1\ub115.4 years) who had undergone surgery for IE in 8 European centers of cardiac surgery were recorded prospectively, and a risk factor analysis (multivariable logistic regression) for in-hospital death was performed. The discriminatory power of a new predictive scoring system was assessed with the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Score validation procedures were carried out. Fifty-six (15.5%) patients died postsurgery. BMI >27 kg/m2 (odds ratio [OR], 1.79; P=0.049), estimated glomerular filtration rate 55 mm Hg (OR, 1.78; P=0.032), and critical state (OR, 2.37; P=0.017) were independent predictors of in-hospital death. A scoring system was devised to predict in-hospital death postsurgery for IE (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.780; 95% CI, 0.734-0.822). The score performed better than 5 of 6 scoring systems for in-hospital death after cardiac surgery that were considered. CONCLUSIONS: A simple scoring system based on risk factors for in-hospital death was specifically created to predict mortality risk postsurgery in patients with IE

A Retrospective Real-World Observational Study Assessing the Evolution of Bisacodyl Prescriptions in Patients with Constipation During Long-Term Treatment

Abstract Background Potential habituation could be a safety concern associated with the long-term use of bisacodyl in patients with constipation. Objective In this study, we evaluated whether patients with constipation who require long-term treatment with bisacodyl will remain on a stable dose when treated for ≥ 28 days. Methods In this retrospective, population-based, observational cohort study, electronic medical record data of adult patients with constipation between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2019, were collected from The Health Improvement Network French database. Total bisacodyl exposure during the long-term (≥ 28 days) and follow-up (12 months) periods was evaluated. The primary endpoint was the dose change status of bisacodyl during the follow-up period from the initial dose in the long-term cohort. Results Out of 5725 bisacodyl users in the database, 218 patients qualified to be part of the long-term cohort. A total of 166 (76.1%), 37 (17%), and 15 (6.9%) patients were initiated on bisacodyl at 5, 7.5, and 10 mg, respectively. During the follow-up, most (94%) of the patients remained on the same dose as initially prescribed for the first year. In contrast, only seven (3.2%) patients had their dose increased (from the initial prescribed dose of 5 mg), and the remaining six (2.8%) patients decreased their dose (four patients from the 7.5 mg group and two from the 10 mg group). Conclusion Bisacodyl can be prescribed at a stable dose for > 28 days as most patients remained on their initial prescribed dose during the follow-up period. No signs of habituation were observed in this real-world study
