Objetivo: Analisar na literatura científica sobre a relação do estrogênio no risco cardiovascular. Métodos: Essa Revisão Integrativa utilizou plataformas, como PubMed, SciELO, Lilacs e Clinical Trials, para encontrar fontes relevantes para desenvolver este projeto. Descritores em Ciências da Saúde como “cardiovascular risk”, “cardiology”, “cardiology risk”, “estrogen”, “estrogen replacement”, “menopause”, “primary health care” e "hypertension" em associação com operadores booleanos foram usados para pesquisa nessas plataformas científicas, resultando em 2653 artigos. Dentro desses números, devido aos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, apenas 20 tornaram-se fontes oficiais. Resultados: Estudos mostram que o estrogênio tem papel importante na regulação do tônus vascular, evitando a remodelação vascular e, consequentemente, diminuindo o risco cardiovascular. Ainda, a deficiência de estrogênio contribui para o desenvolvimento de hipertensão durante a menopausa devido ao hormônio ovariano vasodilatador circulante reduzido, que causa colapso do sistema circulatório junto com a formação de placas ateroscleróticas. Por outro lado, a reposição hormonal durante a menopausa aumenta a chance de eventos trombóticos. Considerações finais: O estrogênio atua como fator protetor do risco cardiovascular, porém é muito importante considerar outros elementos de risco, como presença de comorbidades, tipos de reposição estrogênica e via de administração de medicamentos, para definir a conduta do paciente.

Abstract Objective: an integrative review of the treatment of oral candidiasis, root caries and xerostomia among the elderly population, focusing on Primary Health Care, was carried out. Method: scientific articles were collected from the MEDLINE/PUBMED database using the keywords "Geriatric dentistry" and "Oral health", crossed with corresponding descriptors, together with specific terms for the pathologies studied, and with “the clinical trial” filter activated. The abstracts of the articles were read by three researchers. Result: oral candidiasis: six randomized clinical trials and one quasi-experimental design study, on the treatment of prosthetic stomatitis by medication and/or the disinfection of dentures by different techniques, were identified; root caries: three randomized clinical trials were included, which tested the use of mouthwash with chlorhexidine solution and oral hygiene instruction associated or otherwise with other drugs; and xerostomia: two articles were analyzed using various medications, and the functional massage of the salivary glands and associated muscles. Conclusion: The results demonstrate a variety of treatment options for the studied clinical situations, although these should be adapted to the characteristics of the services and the population, as standard treatment in Primary Health Care has not been established. Strategies based on soft technologies, such as health education, seem to provide good results. The present study provides additional knowledge for health professionals in search of more resolutive and qualified dental care for the elderly in primary health care.

INTRODUCTION: Multiple New Zealand and other international studies have identified gaps in the management of those identified at high risk of a future cardiovascular (CV) event. This study sought to explore the views of health professionals about the barriers and facilitators present within the current primary health care system to the optimal management of those at high CV risk. METHODS: This qualitative study utilised a focus group methodology to examine the barriers and facilitators within primary health care (PHC), and employed a general inductive approach to analyse the text data. FINDINGS: The analysis of text data resulted in the emergence of interrelated themes, underpinned by subthemes. The patient, their circumstances and their characteristics and perceptions provided the first key theme and subthemes. The next key theme was primary health care providers, with subthemes of communication and values and beliefs. The general practice was the third theme and included multiple subthemes: implementation planning and pathway development, time and workload and roles and responsibilities. The final main theme was the health system with the subthemes linking to funding and leadership. CONCLUSION: This study determined the factors that act as barriers and facilitators to the effective management of those at high CV risk within the New Zealand PHC sector. General practice has a pivotal role in preventive health care, but to succeed there needs to be a refocusing of the PHC sector, requiring support from policy makers, District Health Boards and Primary Health Organisations, as well as those working in the sector. KEYWORDS: Primary health care; high cardiovascular risk management; general practitioners; practice nurses; barriers; facilitators

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of tele-expertise (tele-ECG) in primary health care in Cameroon for the management of patients with cardiovascular diseases or risk factors. Method: It is a controlled multicenter study carried out in Cameroon’s two health facilities where tele-ECG has been implemented (intervention centers) and two other where telemedicine has been not implemented (control centers). Patients having cardiovascular risk factors or diseases received usual primary health care in the control centers. In contrast, they received usual primary health care and could perform an ECG associated with cardiologists’ remote expertise (tele-ECG) in the intervention centers. The primary outcome was to evaluate the rate of patients’ access to an ECG test and to cardiologist’ expertise. Results and Discussion: Telemedicine is effective for the management of patients with cardiovascular diseases in primary health care. It could improve healthcare providers’ clinical processes, clinical outcomes of patients and their satisfaction.
