OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the sociodemographic, clinical characteristics and prevalence of medications used by elderly patients with cardiovascular diseases, addressing the difference between users of the single health care system (SUS) and private/covenant during hospitalization. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out in a large hospital in Porto Alegre, by reviewing medical records of patients hospitalized at the coronary care units in the period from January to December 2015. The sample consisted of the evaluation of 152 medical records, the collection was performed through a specific semi-structured instrument. RESULTS: A total of 68 elderly patients belonged to the SUS user group. The other 84 medical records were users of several Covenants / Individuals groups. Regarding lifestyle, it was shown that smoking was representative. The presence of a significant association Regarding the clinical profile, all patients in both groups were hospitalized in coronary care units. CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that the patients in the private / covenants group use a greater number of drugs outside the National Essential Medicines report than those in the SUS group. The SUS group stands out for being more hypertensive and smokers and as a result, they perform more hospitalizations with more severe pathologies when compared to the other group. These comparative data highlight the importance of actions that aim to balance the differences between the modalities of health plans served in Brazil.

*** Profile of elderly admitted to a physical therapy center as a function of seasonality ***AIMS: To analyze the profile and the prevalence of diseases in elderly patients admitted to a physical therapy center in a medium-sized Brazilian city located in a subtropical zone in two different seasons of the year.METHODS: A cross-sectional study assessed the medical records of patients treated during summer and winter months in 2011. Medical records of male and female elderly patients (aged over 60 years) were included, and those without information on present medical diagnosis were excluded. Age and sex and both current and previous diagnostic records were analyzed. The chi-square test was used for the comparative analysis of the profile of the elderly patients for both seasons.RESULTS: Seventy-one medical records were analyzed. The mean age was 69.2±8.1 years and 48 (70.4%) patients were female. There was a higher prevalence of trauma-orthopedic diseases (60.6%). The greatest number of admissions was in winter (62.0%). At the time of referral, there were 17 cases (63.0%) of trauma-orthopaedic diseases in summer and 26 (59.1%) in winter; 3 cases (11.1%) of rheumatologic diseases in summer and 10 (22.7%) in winter; 5 cases (18.5%) of neurologic disorders in summer and 4 (9.1%) in winter; and 2 cases (7.4%) of postoperative complications in summer and 4 (9.1%) in winter (p=0.64).CONCLUSIONS: There was a greater demand for referrals of elderly patients to the physical therapy center in winter than in summer, with a predominance of female patients in both seasons. The most prevalent causes of referral were related to trauma-orthopaedic diseases, but there was no significant difference in the frequency of diagnoses according to season. Knowledge about the profile of the elderly admitted to physical therapy centers is important for targeting actions at this age group, conducting information, prevention, and health promotion campaigns.

Anemia in the elderly is a common disease associated with increased mortality and hospitalization rates. It is not clear how adequately elderly patients are assessed and treated in actual clinical practice. This study clarifies the frequency of anemia recognition before assessment and the factors related to recognition among older people in a rural community hospital. This cross-sectional study evaluated 156 elderly patients aged > 65 years. Data on several different variables were collected from patient medical records. Anemia was defined as a hemoglobin level < 11 g/dL. Patients were classified into “anemia recognition” and “no anemia recognition” groups. Statistical analysis of the data included multivariable logistic regression to examine the association between anemia recognition and other factors. The anemia recognition group comprised 63 (40.4%) patients. Age was significantly associated with the recognition of anemia (adjusted odds ratio = 0.70, 95% confidence interval: 0.53–0.92, p = 0.011). Appropriate medical care should be provided to the elderly; however, it may be limited according to age.

Tuberculosis In Children

Background A possible association between vitamin 0 andtuberculosis has been described. In adult, vitamin 0 is consideredto have a role in protecting tuberculosis. On the other hand,tuberculosis infection can decrease serum vitamin 0 level.Objective To find out the difference between serum vitamin 0level in children with and without tuberculosis, and to find theassociation of serum vitamin 0 level with tuberculosis.Methods A cross sectional study was conducted in Cibabat Hospital,Ban dung from July to October 2007. We selected children :S 14years, diagnosed as tuberculosis, and had positive response aftertwo month treatment; for control we selected randomly siblingsor neighbors who didn't have tuberculosis. We excluded childrenwith liver abnormalities and immunocompromized children.Mann-Whitney test and OR method with 95% confidence intervalwas used to analyze the data.Results Thirty-nine children with tuberculosis (21 boys, 18 girls)and 39 children without tuberculosis (19 boys, 20 girls) as wereenrolled. Mean serum vitamin 0 level of children with and withoutTB were 4 7 (SO 25) pmol/L and 125 (SO 3 7) pmol/L, respectively(P=O.OOl). All children without tuberculosis had normal vitamin0 level while of those with tuberculosis, 14 children had normallevel and 25 children were deficient (corrected OR: 139, 95%CI8 to 238).Conclusion Serum vitamin 0 level is low in children withtuberculosis.

Schizophrenia is also associated with a high level of disability which may create impediments on the social and economic areas of the patients as well as on their respective family networks. Families with schizophrenia may encounter problems such as impairment of health and well being of other family members, restriction of social activities of the family members and shrinking of support from the social network. Aims: The present study examined the difference in perceived social support and burden of care between the male and female caregivers of patients with schizophrenia. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study examining the difference in perceived social support and burden of care between the male and female caregivers of patients with schizophrenia. The sample consisted of 60 (30 male and 30 female) caregivers of the patients with the diagnosis of schizophrenia as per ICD-10-DCR. Results and Conclusion: This study revealed that male caregivers perceived more social support and less burden of care as compared to female caregivers. Key words: Gender, social support, burden

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of exposure to hepatitis A by means of serologic markers in chronic hepatitis B patients, with the secondary aim of finding the best prevention method for hepatitis A infection in susceptible groups of our setting. Methods: During the period between 2016 and 2017, we recruited 403 hepatitis B patients aged more than 14 years and regularly attending the infectious diseases clinic at a referral university hospital, Tehran, Iran. A blood sample was collected from all the patients and tested for hepatitis A IgG. The data was analyzed by SPSS v.19. Results: Although none of the patients had previously received hepatitis A vaccine, the results for serologic level of hepatitis A IgG, demonstrated positive results in 379 (94%) cases. The mean age of patients with negative and positive IgG was 29.17 and 42.46 years, respectively; the difference was statistically significant (P≤0.001). The majority of seronegative patients were young adults aged < 25 years and 25 to 35 years (P <0.001). Conclusion: Seroprevalence of hepatitis A in chronic HBV patients in Iran is high. As HBV infected patients younger than 35 years could be seronagative for HAV infection, evaluation of these patients for HAV infection and vaccination of seronegative patients would be a reasonable approach.

Abstract Aim The number of Hungarian polio patients can be estimated at approximately 3000. Polio infection is currently affecting people 56–65 years of age. The aim of the study was to reveal the quality of life of patients living with polio virus in Hungary. Subject and methods The quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted in January–April 2017 among polyomyelitis patients living in Hungary. In the non-random, targeted, expert sample selection, the target group was composed of patients infected with poliovirus (N = 268). We have excluded those who refused to sign the consent statement. Our data collection method was an SF-36 questionnaire. Using the IBM SPSS Statistics Version 22 program, descriptive and mathematical statistics (χ2-test) were calculated (p < 0.05). Results The mean age of the members of the examined population is 63.5 years; 68.1% were women and 31.90% were men. The majority of the respondents were infected by the polyovirus in 1956 (11.9%), 1957 (24.3%), and 1959 (19.5%). Polio patients, with the exception of two dimensions (mental health, social operation), on the scale of 100 do not reach the “average” quality of life (physical functioning 23 points, functional role 36 points, emotional role 47 points, body pain 48 points, general health 42 points, vitality 50 points, health change 31 points). Conclusion The quality of life of polio patients is far below the dimensions of physical function, while the difference in mental health compared to healthy people is minimal. It would be important to educate health professionals about the existing disease, to develop an effective rehabilitation method.
