Aim: Some studies have linked the present of chronic obstructive oulmonary disease (COPD) to coronary artery disease (CAD). Low grade systemic inflammation occurs in patients with COPD as well as patients with CAD. This study was designed to find out the concentration differences of hs-CRP and TNF-a in patients having both chronic obstructive pulmonary and coronary artery diseases with those having either. Methods: A cross - sectional descriptive study was conducted in 200 patients undergoing a coronary artery angiography in the Heart Institute, Thong Nhat Hospital and 115 People Hospital. COPD was diagnosed using GOLD classification. Result: Our study had shown that the levels of hs-CRP and TNF-a were statistically increased in patients with COPD, CAD as well as in patients who had COPD with CAD (p<0,05). The levels of hs-CRP were higher in CAD than in COPD nad the levels of TNF-a were higher in COPD than in CAD. In patients with COPD and CAD, there were increased the levels of both hs-CRP and TNF-a in serum. Conclusion: Systemic inflammation presents in both COPD and CAD. Key words: hs-CRP, TNF-a, coronary artery disease (CAD).

Background:Health education is pointed out as the front line in non-pharmacological approaches in fibromyalgia.Objectives:To develop an interdisciplinary educational program to promote the health of individuals with fibromyalgia in Brazil.Methods:This is a qualitative study, through a focus group, carried out in a Basic Health Unit in the city of São Paulo, SP. The guiding questions were about the needs and demands exposed by patients with fibromyalgia and health professionals who work in primary health care. 12 individuals with fibromyalgia and 10 health professionals participated. The data were analyzed using the content analysis method proposed by Bardin, specifically the thematic content analysis.Results:Amigos de Fibro (Fibro Friends) should be conducted through lectures, dynamics and conversation circles. The educational program must include 15 meetings with weekly frequency. The meetings are: 1st to present the program and socialization activities. 2nd: Doctor presents the concepts of fibromyalgia. 3rd: Nurse informs about practices and environments that favor self-care. 4th: Social Worker shows the importance of support. 5th: Physiotherapist shows the main body practices and physical activity. 6th: Nutritionist presents an adequate and healthy diet. 7: Psychologist shows mental health practices. 8th: Pharmacist informs about medicines. 9, 11 and 13: participants perform activities at home. 10: Naturologist presents integrative and complementary practices. 12th: Occupational Therapist encourages methods to save energy. Day 14: Speech therapist helps in the quality of sleep. 15: closing activity.Conclusion:Amigos de Fibro is a program that presents interdisciplinary educational information for individuals with fibromyalgia, being considered a trend of care for the future. The next step is to conduct a clinical trial to verify the effect of this intervention and then implement it in the health service in Brazil. Fibro Friends was created from the conjunct action of patients and healthcare professionals, it can be an effective educational tool to be implemented at primary health attention centers, promoting the self-care, life quality and the promotion of health in individuals with Fibromyalgia. Fibro Friends is an excellent tool for patient education and counseling in Brazil.References:[1]Antunes M, Ferreira A, Oliveira D, Júnior JN, Bertolini S, Marques AP.

Purpose: Sustained positive outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) requires risk factor modification and secondary prevention medications. This study assessed the influence of a multidisciplinary educational program on disease understanding, motivation to reduce cardiovascular risk, and secondary prevention medication prescribing following CABG. Methods: Using a prospective, randomized, controlled design, adults undergoing CABG completed surveys at discharge, 3 months, and 12 months, assessing disease understanding and motivation to reduce cardiovascular risk. Four to six weeks after CABG, intervention subjects completed an educational program involving group discussions and individual counseling with pharmacists, dietitians, and a cardiac rehabilitation nurses. The primary endpoint was a composite score of reduced risk factors, medication use among those eligible, and awareness of prescribed medications. Secondary endpoints evaluated survey scores and medication use rates. Wilcoxon Rank Sum and Chi Square tests compared data between specific time points. Generalized estimating equations and linear contrasts of the parameter estimates compared data at the three time points. Results: The final analysis included 98 subjects (I=49, C=49). The composite score was not different between groups (I=12.8±4.5 points, C=12.7±4.9 points, p=0.9405). Improvements were noted in understanding and motivation in the entire cohort, but these changes could not be attributed to our intervention. Medication use declined at 3 and 12 months after CABG without significant differences between the groups. Conclusions: Disease understanding, motivation to reduce risk, and medication use is robust at hospital discharge but declines with time and was not improved by our intervention. These findings are concerning and warrant further study.

Objective: to evaluate the effect of an intervention program on the capacity and action for the self-care of people with diabetes mellitus.Method: this is an intervention study with the implementation of a problem-solving educational program in diabetes in a private health service. Capacity and action scales were applied for the self-care, in the initial moment and after the  intervention with analysis of the outcome by the metabolic control. Differences were identified by the Student t test and the comparison of the scales variability calculated by Cronbach's alpha, with a 95 % confidence interval.Results: participated in the study 23 people, with significant improvement in the values of glycated hemoglobin, glycemic and diastolic blood pressure variability after the educationalprogram. The educational strategy in diabetes provided improvement in both capacity and action for self-care,respectively (p ≤ 0.0 %), Cronbach’s alpha initial 0.895 and final 0.938 Conclusion: education programs using participatory methodologies are essential to enable the person with diabetes to manage and monitor the disease.
