ABSTRACT Introduction The incidence of hip abnormalities in cerebral palsy (CP) patients has been reported as low as 2.6% and as high as 28%. Hip displacement is the second most common deformity after equines. The objective of this study is to evaluate the radiological changes of hip in CP for detecting early features of hip instability. Materials and methods A total of 91 hips of 52 patients with CP who attended for rehabilitation management were randomly selected for the study. Hip surveillance was done in those cases where the clinical evaluation alone could not access stability. All the selected cases were evaluated radiologically with respect to acetabular angle, neck-shaft angles, degree of subluxation (migration percentage) and shape of femoral head. Results 38 hips showed grade I, 14 hips grade II, 6 hips grade III, and 2 hips grade IV stage of migration percentage. Flattening of femoral head was laterally seen in 16 cases, both medial and lateral flattening was seen in 8 cases of subluxated hip. Acetabular roof angle was increased in cases with grade III and IV migration percentage. Acetabular angle was within 12 to 75° with mean angle of 32°. The mean true neck-shaft angle was 145.5° ranging from 134° to 170° Conclusion Early detection of hip instability in Cerebral Palsy helps in timely intervention and that reduces or delays need for reconstructive surgery.

Objetivo: Determinar o perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes com Doença Renal Crônica em tratamento conservador no ambulatório do Hospital Escola de Itajubá. Materiais e Métodos: Estudo descritivo, de corte transversal, de abordagem quantitativa. Realizado com 171 pacientes atendidos em tratamento conservador no ambulatório de nefrologia no período de janeiro de 2012 a dezembro de 2013. A coleta objetivou caracterizar idade, sexo, raça, estado civil e procedência. Também foram avaliados dados do primeiro atendimento como: valores de ureia e creatinina, o grau de DRC, a etiologia e o número de retorno. Resultados: Dos doentes renais crônicos avaliados, 50,3% eram do sexo masculino, 88% da raça branca, 54,4% casados e a maioria (70,8%) possuía faixa etária prevalente >60 anos. A maioria dos atendidos, 98,5% pertence a microrregião de referência. Quanto a dados de primeira consulta, o diabetes mellitus foi a principal etiologia (38%). Os valores de ureia e creatinina acima da referência preconizada foi observado na maioria dos pacientes e o grau III de DRC em 31% dos casos. O número médio de retornos após a primeira consulta foi de três retornos em 25,13% dos pacientes. Conclusão: A pesquisa permitiu o conhecimento do perfil epidemiológico dos portadores de DRC em tratamento conservador. Os achados reforçam a necessidade de implementação de políticas voltadas para promoção e prevenção à saúde com divulgação de mais programas de controle para minimizar o surgimento de novos casos da DRC. Palavras-chave: Epidemiologia.

Materials and Methods: A retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study of quantitative approach. It was conducted with 171 patients who were treated in conservative treatment at the nephrology clinic from January 2012 to December 2013. The collection aimed to characterize age, sex, race, marital status and origin. We also evaluated data from the first service as: urea and creatinine values, the degree of CKD the etiology and the number of return. Results: Among the chronic renal patients evaluated, 50.3% were male, 88% Caucasian, 54.4% were married and the majority (70.8%) was the most prevalent age group> 60 years. Most of the patients 98.5% belong to micro region of reference. As the first appointment data, diabetes mellitus was the major cause (38%). The urea and creatinine values above the recommended reference was observed in the majority of patients and the DRC grade III in 31% of cases. The average number of returns after the fisrt visit was three return in 25.13% of patients. Conclusion: The research gave us the knowledge of the epidemiological profile of patients with CKD on dialysis. The findings reinforce the need to implement policies for health promotion and prevention with more disclosure of control programs to minimize the appearance of new cases of CKD. Keywords: Epidemiology.

Abstract Objective: To analyze the prevalence of hypothermia in the first hour of life of preterm infants with birth weight 1,500 g or less. Method: A cross-sectional study performed in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Data obtained from 359 computerized records of premature infants admitted between 2012 and 2016. Descriptive Statistics and Poisson Regression were used. Results: Premature infants (66.9%) presented hypothermia in the first hour of life, with axillary temperature of 36.2ºC (35.7-36.6), associated with: diagnosis of preeclampsia (p = 0.001), small for gestational age (p = 0.029), and the need for chest compression in the delivery room (p = 0.001). In cases of peri-intraventricular hemorrhage grade III (75%) and death (78.9%), there was a prevalence of premature infants with hypothermia in the first hour of life. Conclusion: Hypothermia in the first hour of life was prevalent in preter m infants, being associated with clinical complications. The prevention of hypothermia in the first hour of life is fundamental in the reduction of diseases related to prematurity.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common congenital neurological disorder. The etiological and the risk factors are many and an awareness of the interplay of multiple factors in the causation is crucial. The aim of the study is to investigate the clinical prole and risk factors of CP children in and around Chidambaram. A retrospective cross sectional study was conducted in the Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Rajah Muthiah Medical College and Hospital, Chidambaram. Seventy clinically diagnosed CP children were enrolled and clinical prole and history were retrieved from the case sheets and the parents of CP children. The result shows that out of 70 CP children 53% of males and 47% of females were found. The anthropometric measurements like height and weight of the CP children were found lower than the normal. Among 70 children spastic type of CP was the most common, Athetoid type (5.7%) and ataxic type (5.7%) are the least common type. This study concluded that neonatal care services in Chidambaram should be reviewed to get more attention which helps to promote early intervention and rehabilitation of CP children.
