Objective: To evaluate the interference of supervised resistance and aerobic training in glycemic levels during and after 36 sessions, belonging to a training period of three months in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), as well as the comparison of both exercise training. Methods: This is a experimental study with twelve T2DM patients, all sedentary and attended by the Specialized Care Center of Viçosa-MG, randomized into aerobic (n = 6.54 ± 5 years) and resisted (n = 6.58 ± 9 years) groups. Capillary glycemia was collected before (M1), during (M2) and after (M3) each exercise session for 12 weeks with a weekly frequency of three days. It was used ANOVA for repeated measures followed by Tukey and Student’s test. Results: A mean drop in capillary glycemia was observed between M1 and M2 (p = 0.001), M2 and M3 (p = 0.001) and M1 and M3 (p = 0.001) in both groups. Conclusion: It is concluded that aerobic and resistance exercise training caused a decreased in the blood glucose during exercise sessions. The findings showed that both modes of exercise are important in the hyperglycemic treatment of T2DM patients.

Objective.The purpose of this study was to determine whether mobility and physical activity were associated with lung function in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF).Design.This was a prospective cohort observational study in an urban, academic, specialized care center. Participants were ambulatory, nonhospitalized adults with CF.Main Outcome Measures.Mobility was assessed monthly by the Life-Space Assessment (LSA) questionnaire and quarterly by pedometer. Lung function was assessed by spirometry.Results.Twenty-seven subjects participated. Subjects recorded mean pedometer steps of 20,213 ± 11,331 over three days and FEV1% predicted of 77.48% ± 22.60% over one year. The LSA score at enrollment was correlated with initial pedometer steps (r=0.42andP=0.03), and mean LSA score over one year was correlated with mean number of steps (r=0.51andP=0.007). LSA mobility and pedometer scores were correlated with FEV1% predicted at enrollment and throughout the study.Conclusions.Mobility and physical activity measured by LSA questionnaire and pedometer are positively associated with lung function in adults with CF. This study confirms the importance of mobility and physical activity and supports the utility of a simple office-based questionnaire as a measure of mobility in adults with CF.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze social network and types of support for women in situations of violence by an intimate partner. Method: qualitative and analytical research, anchored in the Sanicola Social Network Theory. The social actors were 20 women who experienced partner violence who were interviewed at a Specialized Care Center in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A semi-structured and individual instrument was used. In order to elaborate a map of the social network, the women were asked to help the researcher in the production of a representative drawing of their relations with people and institutions in the context of violence. The theoretical approach allowed an understanding of the social relational dynamics faced by which women regarding violence. The statements were organized by the content analysis method. Results: the primary social network of women was composed of children, siblings, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law and friends who provided emotional and material support. The secondary network was represented by the services and information support obtained in the hospital, health center, specialized care center and police station. The women had greater proximity and stronger bonds with children, daughters-in-law and sons-in-law; kept distance from their parents and had conflicting bonds in their relationship with the intimate partner. Conclusion: discontinuous or fragile bonds for the most part, were identified with elements of the primary network; and the normal or strong, with the secondary network. Women are distant from the members of the primary network and close to the secondary network, establishing bonds through welcoming and resolute attention. The social network map built with women was determinant for support intervention for self-esteem.

Some patients under antiretroviral therapy (ART) do not reach immune recovery when the viral load becomes undetectable. This is called discordant immunologic and virologic responses. Its prevalence varies between 8% and 24%. This study describes its prevalence and the characteristics of the affected subjects in the outpatient clinic of a Brazilian specialized-care center. Of 934 patients on ART, 536 had undetectable viral loads. Prevalence was 51/536 or 9% (95% confidence interval: 6.6% to 11.4%). Median age at the beginning of ART was 37 years (interquartile range - IQR: 31 to 45). Male gender and mixed race predominated (76.5% and 47.1% respectively). AIDS-defining illnesses were absent at the beginning of ART in 60.8%. Fifty-one percent were taking protease inhibitors, 43.2% Efavirenz and 5.8% both. Median time on ART was 36 months (IQR: 17-81 months). Irregular treatment was recorded for 21.6%. ART had been modified for 63% prior to the study, and 15.7% had used monotherapy or double therapy. Median CD4 count was 255 cells/mm³ (IQR: 200-284). Median viral load before ART was 4.7 log10 copies/mL (IQR: 4.5-5.2). Discordant responders were not different from AIDS patients in general, but there was a high frequency of multiple schedules of treatment.

The influence of pharmacotherapeutic follow-up (PTF) on quality of life was evaluated in 45 HIV+ patients, who were undergoing initial antiretroviral therapy at a specialized care center in northeast Brazil. PTF lasted nine months and quality of life was analyzed at the 1st and 9th meetings using a questionnaire validated for Brazil. The study identified 643 problems related to antiretrovirals and there were 590 pharmaceutical interventions during the PTF. The comparative analysis between the results of the 1st and the 9th meeting was statistically significant for all domains of the questionnaire. For asymptomatic patients, only one domain was statistically significant. For symptomatic patients, six domains were significant. Patients with one year of HIV/AIDS diagnosis had statistically significant differences in five domains. The results suggest that the PTF contributed to improving quality of life, particularly for symptomatic patients and those diagnosed for at least one year - important target groups for Pharmaceutical Treatment.

Abstract. Background: Indigenous Australians experience a suicide rate over twice that of the general population. With nonfatal deliberate self-harm (DSH) being the single most important risk factor for suicide, characterizing the incidence and repetition of DSH in this population is essential. Aims: To investigate the incidence and repetition of DSH in three remote Indigenous communities in Far North Queensland, Australia. Method: DSH presentation data at a primary health-care center in each community were analyzed over a 6-year period from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2011. Results: A DSH presentation rate of 1,638 per 100,000 population was found within the communities. Rates were higher in age groups 15–24 and 25–34, varied between communities, and were not significantly different between genders; 60% of DSH repetitions occurred within 6 months of an earlier episode. Of the 227 DSH presentations, 32% involved hanging. Limitations: This study was based on a subset of a larger dataset not specifically designed for DSH data collection and assesses the subset of the communities that presented to the primary health-care centers. Conclusion: A dedicated DSH monitoring study is required to provide a better understanding of DSH in these communities and to inform early intervention strategies.
