ABSTRACT Objective To develop a scientific consensus on nutrition in cystic fibrosis. Methods Sixteen coordinators elaborated relevant questions on nutritional therapy in cystic fibrosis, which were divided into six sections: nutritional assessment, nutritional recommendations, nutritional intervention, dietary counseling, special situations and enzyme replacement, and gastrointestinal manifestations. Two to three specialists in the field were responsible for each section and obtaining answers formulated based on standardized bibliographic searches. The available literature was searched in the PubMed®/MEDLINE database, after training and standardization of search strategies, to write the best level of evidence for the questions elaborated. Issues related to disagreement were discussed until a consensus was reached among specialists, based on the current scientific literature. Results Forty-two questions were prepared and objectively answered, resulting in a consensus of nutritional therapy in cystic fibrosis. Conclusion This work enabled establishing a scientific consensus for nutritional treatment of cystic fibrosis patients.

RESUMO OBJETIVO: identificar a prevalência de sintomas osteomusculares entre trabalhadores de um serviço de nutrição de um hospital público. MÉTODO: estudo epidemiológico transversal com aplicação de questionários para 115 trabalhadores (representando 89% do quadro de pessoal) do serviço de nutrição de um hospital de cardiologia, em São Paulo, em 2007. O instrumento utilizado foi baseado no Questionário Nórdico de Sintomas Osteomusculares de Kuorinka et al. (1987) para identificação de dor ou desconforto relacionados ao trabalho, localização e tipo de queixa, além de caracterizar a frequência, a intensidade e a duração dos sintomas. RESULTADOS: a média da idade dos trabalhadores foi de 37 ± 9,8 anos, 81% eram do sexo feminino, 58% possuíam Ensino Médio e o tempo médio de trabalho foi de 9,3 ± 7,5 anos em jornada de trabalho de 40 horas semanais. Do total de participantes, 89% referiram dor ou desconforto relacionados ao trabalho no último ano em membros inferiores (65%), ombros (55%), região lombar (39%), região cervical (37%), mãos/punhos/dedos (29%), coluna (28%), antebraço (28%) e cotovelos (10%). O movimento de andar e transportar carga foi a causa mais citada para os sintomas (31%). CONCLUSÃO: entre os trabalhadores do serviço, a prevalência de sintomas osteomusculares foi alta, principalmente nos membros inferiores e nos ombros. Recomendam-se novas pesquisas que incluam a avaliação do ambiente e das atividades desenvolvidas pelos trabalhadores.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To identify musculoskeletal symptoms among workers from a food service of a public cardiologic hospital located in São Paulo, Brazil. METHOD: A cross sectional study was carried out in 2007, by applying questionnaires to 115 workers (89% of total staff). The instrument was based on the Nordic Questionnaire on Musculoskeletal Symptoms by Kuorinka et al. (1987), for identification of any kind of pain or discomfort related to work, its location, type of complaint, and frequency, intensity, and duration of symptoms. RESULTS: The workers' average age was 37 ± 9.8 years, 81% were women, and 58% had high-school level. They had been working in the hospital for 9.3 ± 7.5 years, on a 40-hour week schedule. Most (89%) of the subjects reported pain or discomfort related to work during the last 12 months, mainly in lower limbs (65%). Other parts of the body mentioned by the workers were: shoulders (55%), lumbar region (39%), cervical region (37%), wrist/hands/fingers (29%), spine (28%), forearm (28%), and elbows (10%). The movements made while walking or carrying loads were the most reported cause of symptoms (31%). CONCLUSION: The study found a high prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms among workers from the hospital food service, mainly in lower limbs and shoulders. It is recommended that future studies include assessment of environment and worker's activities.
