RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar, por meio de questionários padronizados, a qualidade de vida de idosos com deficiência auditiva diagnosticada que utilizam ou não a prótese auditiva (AASI) e de idosos sem queixa auditiva. Método Trata-se de um estudo transversal, com amostra não probabilística, distribuída em três grupos divididos da seguinte forma: 30 idosos com perda auditiva diagnosticada e com indicação para uso do aparelho de amplificação sonora individual (AASI), mas que ainda não faziam uso da prótese; 30 idosos com deficiência auditiva que usavam o AASI; e 30 idosos sem queixa auditiva. Os participantes completaram um questionário que investigava dados sociodemográficos e familiares, o Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly Screening Version (HHIE-S) e o World Health Organization Quality of Life - versão breve (WHOQOL-Breve). Além das análises descritivas dos dados, foram realizados testes para comparação dos três grupos, aplicando-se a análise de variância (ANOVA) e o teste post hoc de Bonferroni. Resultados Os três grupos se diferenciaram significativamente em todos os domínios de qualidade de vida. O grupo de idosos com perda auditiva diagnosticada e com indicação para uso do AASI apresentou menores escores que o grupo de idosos com deficiência auditiva que usavam o AASI e que o grupo de referência. O grupo com AASI apresentou os melhores resultados de qualidade de vida. Conclusão A perda auditiva afeta a qualidade de vida do idoso. O uso efetivo da prótese auditiva é benéfico a esta população, melhorando suas condições de vida e saúde.

This is a timely, concise, eminently practical, thoughtfully, even tenderly, written 28 page report of a recent WHO Expert Committee meeting on the health problems of adolescence. The members and the consultants to the Committee deftly summarize the major worldwide trends affecting our adolescent population. The size of this population is staggering; in the age group 15-19 years alone there are already 300 million adolescents in the world, and there seems every likelihood that these numbers will increase rapidly during the next decade.

De acordo com a World Health Organization, o Diabetes Mellitus é uma síndrome de etiologia múltipla, ocasionada pela falta de insulina ou por uma incapacidade da insulina de exercer de forma eficaz sua função. O exercício físico é definido como toda atividade física planejada e repetitiva que tem por objetivo a melhoria das funções do organismo. A prática de pelo menos 150 minutos semanais de atividade com intensidade moderada é recomendada para pacientes com diabetes mellitus. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a influência do exercício físico no tecido ósseo de ratos diabéticos submetidos ao treinamento em esteira motorizada. Foram utilizados 12 animais, divididos em dois grupos: Diabético Sedentário (DS) que não praticava nenhum exercício e Diabético treinado (DT) submetidos ao exercício físico em esteira durante 10 semanas duas vezes por dia, com 6h de repouso entre uma sessão e outra, 5 dias por semana. O diabetes foi induzido através de injeção intraperitoneal de estreptozotocina (60mg/Kg, S.C; Sigma ChemicalCo.) dissolvida em tampão de citrato, pH 4.5. Realizamos, neste estudo, a mensuração das tíbias de ratos diabéticos para verificar a possível participação do exercício físico no desenvolvimento ósseo desses animais. Como resultado, verificou-se que o exercício foi capaz de promover de forma significativa o aumento nos diâmetros da diáfise e epífise distal, bem como aumento no comprimento e peso das tíbias do grupo (DT) vs (DS) com p<0,05.

There are many diseases or health issues that commonly occur among Indians like Infectious, contagious and waterborne diseases such as typhoid, infectious hepatitis, diarrhea, worm infestations, measles, whooping cough, respiratory infections, malaria, tuberculosis, pneumonia etc. India is a country which is quite infamous for its sanitation and cleanliness. The chaotic waste management system and urban planning is responsible for the overowing gutters and scattered waste. School students has to suffer a lot because of this mismanagement. To add to the poor sanitary conditions, the population load is increasing each day. This has resulted in slums and poverty. The poor and unhealthy living is the primary cause for many health disorders (Mehta, 2014). The goals of the School Students Health problems continue to focus on disease prevention and health promotion, but have areas of expanded focus. First, the goals emphasize quality of life, wellbeing, and functional capacity—all important wellness considerations. Consistent with national health goals for the new millennium, this book is designed to aid all school students adopting healthy lifestyles that will allow them to achieve lifetime health, tness and wellness. This emphasis is based on the World Health Organization statement that “It is counterproductive to evaluate development of programs without considering their impact on the quality of life of the community. School Students can no longer maintain strict, articial divisions between physical and mental well-being (World Health Organization, 1995).” Second, the new national health goals take the “bold step” of trying to “eliminate” health disparities as opposed to reducing them as outlined in Healthy School Students.
