O objetivo deste artigo é analisar as queixas de nutrizes que buscaram atendimento em um BLH e fatores associados.Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, analítico, transversal, retrospectivo, cuja população é composta por 1.709 nutrizes quebuscaram atendimento no período de Janeiro a Dezembro de 2016. Para a coleta de dados, utilizaram-se as fichas deatendimento do BLH. As principais queixas que levaram as nutrizes a buscarem atendimento no BLH relacionam-se àdificuldade com a técnica de amamentação (41,9%) e a problemas mamários, como o ingurgitamento mamário (27,1%) eo trauma mamilar (18,1%). A necessidade de auxílio na técnica de amamentação esteve associada às seguintes condiçõesrelativas à nutriz: ser procedente da capital (p=0,001), apresentar mais de oito anos de estudo (p=0,040), ter uma ocupação (p=0,010), ser primípara (p=<0,001), optar pela realização de parto cesárea (p=<0,001) e ter experiência préviacom amamentação (p=0,004). Houve associação entre ingurgitamento mamário e primiparidade (p=0,038), além do fatode a nutriz ter contado com o apoio ao aleitamento materno na maternidade (p=0,021). O estudo possibilitou verificar aimportância dos BLH no processo de lactação, um período em que as mulheres ficam ansiosas, necessitam de informaçõesconfiáveis e apresentam muitas queixas em relação à lactação.PALAVRAS-CHAVES : Aleitamento materno, Bancos de leite, Saúde da mulher. Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyze the complaints of lactating mothers who sought care in a HMB and associatedfactors. It is a descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective study, whose population is composed of 1.709 lactating mothers whosought care in the period from January to December the 2016. For the data collection, were used the service records ofthe HMB. The main complaints that led the lactating mothers to seek care at HMB were related to the difficulty with thebreastfeeding technique (41.9%) and to breast problems, such as breast engorgement (27.1%) and nipple trauma (18,1%). Theneed for breastfeeding technique was associated to the following nutrient conditions: coming from the capital (p = 0.001),presenting more than eight years of study (p = 0.040), having an occupation (p = 0.010), being primiparous (p = <0.001), optfor cesarean (p = 0.001) and to have previous experience with breastfeeding (p = 0.004). There was an association betweenbreast engorgement and primiparity (p = 0.038), in addition to the fact that the mother had support for breastfeeding in thematernity ward (p = 0.021). The study made it possible to verify the importance of HMBs in the lactation process, a period inwhich women become anxious, require reliable information and have many complaints about lactation.Keywords: Breast feeding, Milk banks, Women’s health

Clinical Background

Introdução: A pobreza influencia na evolução dos pacientes com doenças crônicas, porque contribui para o seu agravamento e dificulta o acesso à assistência médica. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os aspectos relacionados à desigualdade social de pacientes em hemodiálise. Métodos: Estudo transversal com 123 pacientes em hemodiálise no Hospital Samuel Libânio – Pouso Alegre, MG, divididos, de acordo com a classe econômica, em 3 grupos: AB (n=23), C (n=60) e DE (n=40),. Foram coletados dados sociodemográficos e econômicos, antecedentes clínicos e informações sobre o acesso a serviços de saúde. Para a análise dos resultados, foi utilizada estatística analítica e descritiva. Adotou-se p £ 0,05. Resultados: O grupo AB apresentou um menor número de pacientes jovens (4,3% em AB vs 40% em C e 25% em DE, p < 0,05), um maior número de indivíduos com mais anos de escolaridade (65,3% em AB vs 18,3% em C e 2,5% em DE; p < 0,05), predomínio de pacientes com menos de um ano em tratamento de hemodiálise (65,2% em AB vs 10% em C e 5% em DE, p < 0,05), menor número de usuários do SUS (40% em C e 25% em DE vs 4,3% em AB; p < 0,05) e maior acesso ao tratamento com nefrologista (73,9% em AB vs 46,7% em C e 52,5 em DE; p < 0,05). Conclusão: Classes economicamente desfavorecidas agregam indivíduos mais jovens, com menor escolaridade, usuários do SUS, com maior tempo em hemodiálise e pior acesso ao tratamento com nefrologista.Introduction: The poverty influence on the evolution of patients with chronic diseases because it contributes to your aggravation and hinders access to health care. Our goal was to evaluate the aspects related to social inequality on hemodialysis patients. Methods: cross-sectional study with 123 patients on hemodialysis in Samuel Libânio Hospital – Pouso Alegre, MG, divided according to the economic class, into 3 groups: AB (n = 23), C (n = 60) and DE (n = 40). Were collected socio-demographic and economic data, clinical background and information about access to health services. For analysis of the results has been used statistical analytical and descriptive. We take p £ 0,05.  Results: The AB group has fewer young patients (4,3% in AB vs 40% in C and 25% in DE, p< 0,05), a greater number of individuals with more years of schooling (65,3% in AB vs 18,3% in C and 2,5% in DE; p< 0,05), predominance of patients with less than a year on haemodialysis treatment (65,2% in AB vs 10% in C and 5% in DE, p< 0,05), smaller number of users of SUS (40% in C and 25% in DE vs 4,3% in AB; p< 0,05), greater access to treatment with nephrologist (73,9% in AB vs 46,7% in C and 52,5% in DE; p< 0,05). Conclusion: Economically disadvantaged classes bring younger patients, with less schooling, users of SUS, patients with greater time on hemodialysis and worse access to treatment with nephrologist.

Abstract Neuropsychiatric complications associated with coronavirus disease 2019 caused by the Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) are increasingly appreciated. While most studies have focussed on severely affected individuals during acute infection, it remains unclear whether mild COVID-19 results in neurocognitive deficits in young patients. Here, we established a screening approach to detect cognitive deficiencies in post-COVID-19 patients. In this cross-sectional study, we recruited 18 mostly young patients 20–105 days (median, 85 days) after recovery from mild to moderate disease who visited our outpatient clinic for post-COVID-19 care. Notably, 14 (78%) patients reported sustained mild cognitive deficits and performed worse in the Modified Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status screening test for mild cognitive impairment compared to 10 age-matched healthy controls. While short-term memory, attention and concentration were particularly affected by COVID-19, screening results did not correlate with hospitalization, treatment, viremia or acute inflammation. Additionally, Modified Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status scores did not correlate with depressed mood or fatigue. In two severely affected patients, we excluded structural or other inflammatory causes by magnetic resonance imaging, serum and cerebrospinal fluid analyses. Together, our results demonstrate that sustained sub-clinical cognitive impairments might be a common complication after recovery from COVID-19 in young adults, regardless of clinical course that were unmasked by our diagnostic approach.

AbstractIn a cross-sectional, retrospective study of 604 cases, variations among three Norwegian hospitals in use of perioperative parenteral nutrition (TPN) after gastrointestinal surgery was determined. Postoperative TPN rates were 25%, 34% (p =.05) and 56% (p <.0001). respectively. However, a substantial part of the variation was explained by differences in patient characteristics.

Background: Ocular complications of herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) may lead to substantial visual disability, severe post-herpetic neuralgia and rarely fatal cerebral complications. Aim: To identify the pattern of ocular manifestation in herpes zoster ophthalmicus. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was under taken including the clinically diagnosed cases of HZO. All of them underwent a complete ophthalmological evaluation. Results: Sixty-eight cases of HZO were examined, of which 37 (54.4 %) were male and 31 (45.6%) female. The mean age was 48.7 ± 18.5 years. Most of the patients (64.7 %) were above the age of 40 years. 77.94 % of the patients had some form of ocular involvement. Pain (77.9 %) was the commonest ocular complaint. In young patients less than 35 years, HIV was the most common risk factor (19.3 %).Visual status was good in the majority (73.5 %) of patients at presentation. Lid and adnexal findings (45.8 %) were most common ocular involvement followed by conjunctivitis (41.1 %). Corneal complication was seen in 38.2 % of cases, uveitis in 19.1 % and post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) and secondary glaucoma each in 5.8 %. Conclusion: Eyelid and ocular adnexal involvement is most commonly found in patients with herpes zoster ophthalmicus followed by corneal complication and uveitis. There needs to be awareness of ocular involvement, which can be sight threatening, among the HZO patients and other medical departments and an increased emphasis on regular ophthalmic examination.
