ABSTRACT Introduction: breast cancer is the cancer with the highest incidence in women in Brazil, representing 29.7% of all cancers. More than two thirds of women with breast cancer show expression for hormone receptors, and in these cases, hormone therapy with tamoxifen is indicated, which may represent a risk factor for the development of endometrial cancer (four-fold greater relative risk). Objective: this study aimed to evaluate the association of tamoxifen and the development of endometrial disturbances and to assess possible other associated risk factors. Patients and method: a total of 364 breast cancer patients were evaluated, 286 who used tamoxifen and 78 who did not use this hormone therapy. Results: patients who used tamoxifen had a mean follow-up time of 51.42 months similar to those without hormone therapy (p=0.081). A total of 21 (7.3%) women who used tamofixen and no cases among women without hormone therapy presented endometrial changes during follow-up (p=0.01). Despite information regarding obesity was available for only 270 women, obesity was also significantly associated with the development of endometrial changes (p=0.008). Conclusion: furthermore, the association between tamofixen and endometrial changes remained significant (p=0.039) after adjusting for obesity.

RESUMO Introdução: o câncer da mama é o câncer de maior incidência no sexo feminino no Brasil, representando 29,7% de todos os cânceres. Mais de dois terços das mulheres com câncer da mama apresentam expressão para receptores hormonais, estando, nestes casos, indicada a terapia hormonal com tamoxifeno, que pode representar fator de risco para o desenvolvimento do câncer do endométrio (risco relativo quatro vezes maior). Objetivo: este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a associação entre o uso de tamoxifeno e o desenvolvimento de distúrbios endometriais bem como eventuais outros fatores associados. Pacientes e método: Estudo de coorte retrospectivo de 364 pacientes com câncer da mama, das quais 286 utilizaram tamoxifeno e 78 não utilizaram esta hormonioterapia. Resultados: pacientes que usaram tamoxifeno tiveram um seguimento médio de 51,42 meses, semelhante àquelas sem terapia hormonal (p=0,081). Um total de 21 (7,3%) mulheres que usaram tamofixeno e nenhuma mulher sem terapia hormonal apresentaram alterações endometriais durante o seguimento (p=0,01). Nas 270 mulheres que tinham informação sobre obesidade, esta se associou significantemente com o desenvolvimento de alterações endometriais (p=0,008). A associação entre tamofixeno e alterações endometriais permaneceu significante (p=0,039) após ajustar para interação com obesidade. Conclusão: o uso de tamoxifeno no tratamento do câncer da mama esteve associado ao maior risco para desenvolvimento de alterações endometriais especialmente quando associado à obesidade.

ABSTRACT Objective To assess the effects of enfuvirtide on pregnancy in albino rats and their fetuses. Methods Forty pregnant EPM 1 Wistar rats were randomly allocated into four groups: control (E) (distilled water twice/day), G1 (4mg/kg/day enfuvirtide), G2 (12mg/kg/day enfuvirtide), and G3 (36mg/kg/day enfuvirtide) groups. On the 20th day of gestation, the rats were anesthetized and subjected to cesarean section. Their blood was collected for laboratory analysis, and they were sacrificed. The offspring’s fragments of their kidneys, liver, and placentas and the maternal rats’ fragments of their lungs, kidneys, and liver were separated in the immediate postpartum period for light microscopy analysis. Results No maternal deaths occurred. In the second week at the end of pregnancy, the mean weight of the G3 Group was significantly lower than that of the G2 Group (p=0.029 and p=0.028, respectively). Analyzing blood laboratory parameters, the G1 Group had the lowest mean amylase level, and the G2 Group had the lowest mean hemoglobin level and the highest mean platelet count. In the morphological analysis, there were no changes in organs, such as the kidneys and liver, in both the maternal rats and offspring. Three maternal rats in the G3 Group had pulmonary inflammation in the lungs. Conclusion Enfuvirtide has no significant adverse effects on pregnancy, conceptual products, or functional alterations in maternal rats.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a qualidade de vida (QV) de gestantes infectadas pelo HIV, utilizando o questionário HIV/AIDS - Targeted Quality of Life(HAT-QoL).MÉTODOS: Estudo descritivo que incluiu 60 gestantes atendidas no Núcleo Multidisciplinar de Patologias Infecciosas na Gestação (NUPAIG) - UNIFESP/EPM e na rede de referência da Secretaria Municipal de São Paulo. Foi realizado no período de fevereiro de 2011 a outubro de 2012. Foram coletadas variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas de 60 gestantes infectadas pelo HIV, que responderam o questionário HAT-QoL, o qual incluiu 34 questões sobre qualidade de vida.RESULTADOS:A média de idade foi 30 anos e o tempo médio de infecção pelo HIV foi de 5,7 anos. Somente 8,3% das pacientes tinham contagem de células CD4 ≤200 células mm³ e 45% apresentavam carga viral indetectável. Os escores médios dos domínios variaram entre 47,5 e 83,7. Os domínios com escores mais baixos foram preocupações financeiras e preocupações com o sigilo. Os domínios com escores mais altos e menor impacto na qualidade de vida foram preocupações com a medicação e confiança no profissional.CONCLUSÃO: Neste estudo inicial, com 60 grávidas, concluímos que o HAT-QOL poderá contribuir para a avaliação da qualidade de vida na população de gestantes infectadas pelo HIV no Brasil.

PURPOSE: It was to assess the quality of life (QOL) of HIV-infected pregnant women using the HIV/AIDS - Targeted Quality of Life (HAT-QoL) questionnaire.METHODS:A descriptive study of 60 pregnant women attended at the Multidisciplinary Nucleus of Infectious Diseases During Pregnancy (NUPAIG) - UNIFESP/EPM and in the referral network of the Municipal Office of São Paulo, conducted from February 2011 to October 2012. Sociodemographic and clinical variables were collected from 60 HIV-infected pregnant women who answered the HAT-QoL questionnaire, which included 34 questions about quality of life.RESULTS:The average age was 30 years and the average period of HIV infection was 5.7 years. Only 8.3% of patients had a CD4 cell score of ≤200 cells/mm³ and 45% showed undetectable viral load. The average domain scores ranged from 47.5 to 83.7. The domains with the lowest scores were financial concerns and concerns about secrecy. The domains with the highest scores and lower impact on quality of life were concerns about medication and confidence in the professional.CONCLUSION: In this initial study with 60 pregnant women, we concluded that the HAT-QOL can contribute to the assessment of quality of life in the population of HIV-infected pregnant women in Brazil.

Abstract: En | Text: En | PDF: En

OBJECTIVE: Hyperhidrosis is a common disease, and thoracoscopic sympathectomy improves its symptoms in up to 95% of cases. Unfortunately, after surgery, plantar hyperhidrosis may remain in 50% of patients, and compensatory sweating may be observed in 70%. This clinical scenario remains a challenge. Our objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of oxybutynin in the treatment of persistent plantar hyperhidrosis and compensatory sweating and its effects on quality of life in women after thoracoscopic sympathectomy. METHOD: We conducted a prospective, randomized study to compare the effects of oxybutynin at 10 mg daily and placebo in women with persistent plantar hyperhidrosis. The assessment was performed using a quality-of-life questionnaire for hyperhidrosis and sweating measurement with a device for quantifying transepidermal water loss. Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT01328015. RESULTS: Sixteen patients were included in each group (placebo and oxybutynin). There were no significant differences between the groups prior to treatment. After oxybutynin treatment, there was a decrease in symptoms and clinical improvement based on the quality-of-life questionnaire (before treatment, 40.4 vs. after treatment, 17.5; p = 0.001). The placebo group showed modest improvement (p = 0.09). The outcomes of the transepidermal water loss measurements in the placebo group showed no differences (p = 0.95), whereas the oxybutynin group revealed a significant decrease (p = 0.001). The most common side effect was dry mouth (100% in the oxybutynin group vs. 43.8% in the placebo group; p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: Oxybutynin was effective in the treatment of persistent plantar hyperhidrosis, resulting in a better quality of life in women who had undergone thoracoscopic sympathectomy.

OBJETIVO: Descrever o perfil de utilização de medicamentos por idosos residentes em áreas de diferentes níveis socioeconômicos de um centro urbano do Nordeste do Brasil. MÉTODOS: Inquérito domiciliar entre idosos (60 anos ou mais) da cidade de Fortaleza, Ceará, selecionados por amostragem sistemática em múltiplos estágios e estratificada por nível socioeconômico (melhor = área central; intermediário = área intermediária; pior = área periférica). Estatística descritiva foi apresentada pelas percentagens dos respectivos totais para variáveis categóricas e médias (± desvio-padrão) para variável contínua. Realizou-se análise multivariada para identificação de fatores associados a uso de medicamentos prescritos; não-prescritos e inadequados. RESULTADOS: A maioria dos idosos (80,3% na área central) usava pelo menos um medicamento prescrito. Mais de um terço (37,4%) na área periférica usava pelo menos um não-prescrito, e quase 20% pelo menos um inadequado. O uso de medicamentos prescritos foi associado à idade avançada (razão de chances - RR=1,7; IC 95%: 1,1-2,8); sexo masculino (RR=0,5; IC 95%: 0,3-0,7); visitas a serviços de saúde (RR=2,5; IC 95%: 1,9-3,1); doenças crônicas (RR=4,0; IC 95%: 2,5-6,2); e nível socioeconômico (RR=2,0; IC 95%: 1,5-2,6). O uso de medicamentos não prescritos foi associado a comprometimento funcional (RR=1,5; IC 95%: 1,1-2,2) e nível socioeconômico (RR=0,6; IC 95%: 0,5-0,8). O uso de medicamentos inadequados foi associado principalmente a sexo masculino (RR=0,4; IC 95%: 0,2-0,8); doenças crônicas (RR=2,0; IC 95%: 1,2-3,3), e nível socioeconômico (RR=0,7; IC 95%: 0,5-0,9). CONCLUSÕES: As proporções de idosos usando medicamentos prescritos, não-prescritos e inadequados foram significativas, havendo desigualdades particularmente entre aqueles de diferentes níveis socioeconômicos. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de programas para otimizar o acesso e racionalizar o uso de medicamentos entre idosos no Brasil.

OBJECTIVE: To identify medication use patterns among elderly people residing in areas with different socioeconomic status in the city of Fortaleza, Brazil. METHODS: A total of 668 elderly (aged 60 years or older) residing in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil, selected from a multistage random sampling stratified by socioeconomic status (higher, intermediate, and lower areas), were interviewed in a household survey. Descriptive statistics for dichotomous variables were presented as percent of the respective totals, and those for continuous variables as mean ± SD. Multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors associated with the use of prescription, non-prescription and inappropriate) drugs. RESULTS: Most (80.3% in the hgiher area) were on at least one non- prescription drug. More than one third (37.4%) were on at least one non- prescription drug and nearly 20% used at least one inappropriate in the lower area. PD use was associated with advanced age (OR=1.7, 95% CI=1.1-2.8); male sex (OR=0.5, 95% CI=0.3-0.7); health service visits (OR=2.5, 95% CI=1.9-3.1); chronic diseases (OR=4.0, 95% CI=2.5-6.2); and higher socioeconomic status (OR=2.0, 95% CI=1.5-2.6).Non- prescription drug use was associated with disability (OR=1.5, 95% CI=1.1-2.2), and higher socioeconomic status (OR=0.6; 95% CI=0.5-0.8). Inappropriate drugs use was mainly associated with male sex (OR=0.4, 95% CI=0.2-0.8); chronic diseases (OR=2.0, 95% CI=1.2-3.3); and higher socioeconomic status (OR=0.7, 95% CI=0.5-0.9). CONCLUSIONS: The proportions of elderly using prescription, non- prescription and inappropriate drugs were remarkable and inequalities were seen particularly among those from different socioeconomic status. These results emphasize the need for strategies to optimize the access and rationalize the use of drugs for elderly people in Brazil.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o perfil sociodemográfico e o padrão de uso da cocaína entre usuários de drogas hospitalizados. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal com dependentes químicos maiores de 18 anos, internados em alguns hospitais psiquiátricos da região metropolitana da Grande São Paulo, Brasil, com condições clínicas de responder a questionário padronizado e que concordaram em participar do estudo. Foram selecionados seis hospitais psiquiátricos que recebiam, por procura espontânea, pacientes da rede pública e privada de toda a região da Grande São Paulo. A coleta de informações foi feita por meio de entrevistas estruturadas, aplicada individualmente por psicóloga treinada. Para análise estatística utilizou-se do teste t de Sudent e Qui-quadrado, e o nível de significância foi fixado em 5%. RESULTADOS: Encontrou-se maior taxa (38,4%) de usuários de crack e pequena prevalência (1,6%) de usuários de drogas injetáveis. Os dependentes de cocaína fumada apresentavam baixa escolaridade, encontravam-se mais freqüentemente desempregados, haviam morado nas ruas, usavam maiores quantidades de droga e tinham sido presos em maior número de vezes do que aqueles que usavam outras vias de administração da droga. CONCLUSÕES: Os resultados sugerem que o uso de drogas é um grave problema de saúde pública na Grande São Paulo, mostrado pelo número de internações hospitalares por dependência. Os usuários de crack apresentam pior condição socioeconômica e maior envolvimento com a violência e a criminalidade.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the epidemiological profile and patterns of cocaine use among hospitalized drug users. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out among drug users, aged 18 years or more, hospitalized in one out six selected psychiatric hospitals in the metropolitan area of Greater São Paulo, whose clinical conditions allowed them to reliably answer to a standardized questionnaire and who agreed to participate. Six psychiatric hospitals who attended spontaneously referred public and private patients from all Greater São Paulo were selected. Data collection was conducted using structured interviews, individually applied by a trained psychologist. Statistical analysis was performed using Student t-test and Chi-square test at p<0.05. RESULTS: There was a predominance of crack use (38.4%) over intravenous drug use (1.6%). Addicts who smoked cocaine had lower education, most were unemployed and had previously lived on the streets, and used higher amounts of drugs. These addicts also had been previously incarcerated more often than addicts who used other routes for drug administration. CONCLUSIONS: Drug use is a serious public health problem in Greater São Paulo, and this is shown by the great amount of hospital admissions due to drug addiction. Crack users have lower socioeconomic status and more often engage in violence and crimes.

Abstract: En | Text: En | PDF: En

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence and the risk factors for tuberculosis (TB) infection and disease among hospitalized cocaine users. METHOD: A cross-sectional study performed on a sample of 440 addicts over 18 years of age, admitted to hospitals of the metropolitan area of the Greater São Paulo city, whose clinical conditions allowed them to answer a standard questionnaire, and who agreed to participate in the study. The prevalence of TB infection was assessed through positive tuberculin testing (PPD), and of TB disease by the finding of M. tuberculosis in the sputum of patients with respiratory symptoms. RESULTS: Respiratory symptoms were present in 21% of the patients, the most frequent being weight loss and cough, which disappeared when cocaine use was discontinued. The general prevalence of TB infection was 28%. The prevalence of TB disease was 0.6%. The factors which were associated with positive PPD were: age, color/race, time spent in prison, and drug use in prison. CONCLUSION: No increased prevalence of TB infection and disease was found in these patients. Older addicts had a higher probability of having TB infection, and so had those who had been in prison.

OBJETIVO: avaliar as taxas de morbidade febril puerperal em pacientes infectadas pelo HIV e sua correlação com a via de parto, duração do trabalho de parto, tempo de rotura de membranas, número de células CD4+ e carga viral do HIV periparto. MÉTODOS: foram incluídas 207 gestantes infectadas pelo HIV, com seguimento pré-natal e parto entre maio de 1997 e dezembro de 2001, sendo 32 submetidas a parto vaginal e 175 a cesárea. Do total de pacientes, 62,8% foram submetidas a cesárea eletiva. A idade média no grupo analisado foi de 27,4 anos, 25,6% eram nulíparas e 26% primíparas, com idade gestacional média de 37,8 semanas no momento do parto. A contagem média de células CD4+ foi de 481 células /mm³ e da carga viral do HIV de 49.100 cópias/mL, ambas no final da gestação. RESULTADOS: a morbidade febril puerperal ocorreu em 34 pacientes, sendo 33 pós-cesárea e 1 pós-parto vaginal. O tipo mais comum de intercorrência infecciosa pós-cesárea foi infecção de cicatriz cirúrgica (13% dos casos de infecção). Os fatores analisados, como duração do trabalho de parto, tempo de rotura de membranas, contagem de células CD4+ ou carga viral do HIV periparto, não interferiram na taxa de morbidade febril puerperal. CONCLUSÕES: A incidência de morbidade febril puerperal foi de 16,8%, sendo mais freqüente pós-cesárea (18,9%) que pós-parto vaginal (3,1%). Os demais fatores não mostraram relação significativa com a taxa de morbidade febril puerperal.

PURPOSE: the morbidity in HIV-positive patients due to puerperal fever was studied and correlated to the method and duration of labor, the duration of premature rupture of the membranes, CD4+ cell count and the viral load (VL) at peridelivery. METHODS: a total of 207 HIV-positive women with prenatal examinations and deliveries between May 1997 and December 2001 were enrolled. Of these, 32 had natural childbirth and 175 had a cesarean section. Of the total of enrolled patients, 62.8% were submitted to elective cesarean section. The average age of the group was 27.4 years, and 25.6% were nulliparous and 26% were primiparous. At the moment of the delivery the average gestational age was 37.8 weeks. At the end of pregnancy the average of the CD4+ cell count was approximately 481 cells/mm³ and the viral load 49,100 copies/mL. RESULTS: puerperal morbidity occurred in 34 patients, with 33 after cesarean section and one after natural childbirth. The most usual intercurrent post-cesarean infection was that of the surgical wound (13% of the infection cases). Analyzed factors, such as delivery duration, duration of rupture of the membranes, number of CD4+ cells or the viral load at peridelivery, did not interfere in puerperal morbidity. CONCLUSIONS: puerperal morbidity was 16.8% and occurred more frequently after cesarean sections (18.9%) than after vaginal deliveries (3.1%). The other factors did not present a significant effect on puerperal morbidity.

Este estudo tem por objetivo traduzir, fazer a equivalência cultural e validar o questionário de Levine et al. (1993) ou Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ), para o português. O BCTQ aplicado a pacientes selecionados pela pergunta "Qual o motivo que a(o) levou a procurar o médico e que fez com que ele solicitasse este exame?" mostrou boa reprodutibilidade. A validade foi medida comparando o escore de gravidade dos sintomas (EGS) e o escore do estado funcional (EEF) aos resultados dos testes de força de preensão e pinça, Minnesota, discriminação entre dois pontos, Semmes-Weinstein e velocidade de condução sensitiva no nervo mediano. A consistência interna foi avaliada pelo coeficiente a de Chronbach, comparando o EGS ao EEF. A propriedade de medida foi avaliada pelo teste t pareado, comparando escores pré-cirúrgicos aos pós-cirúrgicos. Reprodutibilidade, consistência interna, validade e propriedades de medida do BCTQ traduzido foram semelhantes às encontradas por Levine et al. na versão original.

The objective of the present study was to translate, to do cultural equivalence and validation of the Levine et al. (1993) or Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) to Portuguese. The BCTQ application to patients, selected by the question "What was the reason that brought you to look for a physician and that led him to ask this examination?" showed very good reproducibility. The validity was measured through the comparison of the severity symptoms scores (SSS) and the functional status scores (FSS) with the results of grip forces, Minnesota, two point discrimination, Semmes-Weinstein filaments perception and sensory conduction at the median nerve. The internal consistency was evaluated through Chronbach's alpha coefficient comparing the SSS and the FSS. The measuring properties were evaluated through paired t-test between pre and pos-surgical scores. Reproducibility, internal consistency, validation and measuring properties of the translated BCTQ were similar to those found by Levine et al. with the original version.

Com o objetivo de conhecermos os motivos de encaminhamento para estudo eletrofisiológico, perguntamos a 490 pacientes, encaminhados a dois laboratórios de neurofisiologia (UNIFESP e UNEF): "Qual o motivo que a(o) levou a procurar o médico e que fez com que ele solicitasse este exame"? Parestesia e/ou dor nas mãos e/ou punhos foram espontaneamente referidas como motivo principal por 175 deles (26% UNIFESP e 40% UNEF). O exame eletroneuromiográfico foi normal em, respectivamente, 30,8% e 35,3% e revelou compressão do nervo mediano no carpo em 59% e 51,5% destes pacientes. Sintomas noturnos e parestesia foram comuns nos dois grupos de pacientes, mas não foram capazes de discriminar aqueles com e sem compressão do nervo mediano no carpo. O sintoma dor predominou nos pacientes com exame normal. A pergunta formulada pareceu ser bom instrumento de seleção. Conseguiu selecionar duas amostras de pacientes sintomáticos semelhantes, em laboratórios com população alvo muito diferente.

To study the reasons for referral to electrodiagnostic evaluation, 490 patients referred for electrodiagnostic evaluation to two laboratories (UNIFESP and UNEF) answered the following question: "What was the reason that brought you to look for a physician and that led him to ask this examination?" Paresthesia and/or pain were answered as the main reason by 175 of them (26% UNIFESP and 40% UNEF). The electromyographical examinations were normal in 30.8% and 35.3% and involvement of the median nerve at the wrist was detected in 5 9% and 51.5% of them. Nocturnal symptoms and paresthesia were commonly noted in both groups of patients; they, however, were not able to separate the patients with and without median nerve compression at the wrist. The question asked seems to be a useful selection instrument, to select two similar symptomatic samples of patients from two laboratories serving with very different target populations.

Abstract: En | Text: En | PDF: En

Brazil was the first country to provide unrestricted, cost-free access to antiretroviral (ARV) medicine for AIDS treatment. However, there is little data about the benefits of such a policy for these patients. We evaluated the duration of benefit obtained with the introduction of ARVs, defined as the durability of the first ARV regiment. We reviewed the medical charts of patients attended from 1996-2000, at the outpatient clinics of the Federal University of São Paulo, Brazil. A total of 120 drug-naive HIV-1 infected patients were eligible to participate in the study. About half of the individuals (53%) presented with disease symptoms; 59% of them had CD4 count below 200 cells/mm³. Mean estimated duration of the benefit of therapy was 14.1 months. The most used regimen in this cohort was Zidovudine/3TC/Indinavir (26%), followed by Zidovudine/DDI (17%), and Zidovudine/3TC/Nelfinavir (13%). The most frequent cause of interruption of therapy was gastrointestinal intolerance. Use of treatment regimens with three drugs was more effective than with two drugs, but only for patients with CD4<200 cells/mm³ or CV>100,000 copies RNA/mL. However, the use of triple therapy was associated with a significantly higher probability of reaching maximum viral suppression, during a longer period (p<0.05).The patients enrolled in the study benefitted from therapy for a limited time, after the introduction of double or triple antiretroviral therapy. The incidence of adverse events was significantly associated with loss of the benefits provided by the initial therapeutic regimen.
