- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Enfisema orbitário compressivo após asseio nasal: relato de caso(Conselho Brasileiro de Oftalmologia, 2009-04-01) Furlani, Bruno de Albuquerque [UNIFESP]; Diniz, Bruno [UNIFESP]; Bitelli, Luis Gustavo; Martins, Elisabeth Nogueira [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Orbital emphysema is the abnormal presence of air in the orbit. Occurrence in the absence of orbital fracture is rare. We report a case of a 40-year-old female presenting unilateral orbital emphysema after vigorous nose blowing. She developed sudden visual loss as a result of elevated intraocular pressure and urgent treatment was required. She underwent an orbital decompression, performed using a 24-gauge needle puncture adjacent to the supraorbital notch. After treatment, she reported considerable decrease of symptoms.
- ItemSomente MetadadadosFactors involved in vocal fatigue: a pilot study(Karger, 2016) D'haeseleer, Evelien; Behlau, Mara [UNIFESP]; Bruneel, Laura; Meerschman, Iris; Luyten, Anke; Lambrecht, Stien; Cassol, Mauriceia; Corthals, Paul; Kryshtopava, Maryna; Wuyts, Floris L.; Claeys, Sofie; Van Lierde, KristianeObjective: The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the vocal characteristics of a treatment-seeking population with the primary complaint of vocal fatigue (VF). Methods: Forty-three men (mean age 42 years, range 1969) and 145 women (mean age 34 years, range 18-68) were included. None of the subjects had received voice therapy or previous laryngeal surgery. A questionnaire, laryngeal and perceptual evaluations, aerodynamic and acoustic parameters, and the Dysphonia Severity Index (DSI) were used to determine vocal characteristics. Results: In 74% of the subjects, flexible laryngeal videostroboscopic evaluation revealed a vocal pathology, with vocal nodules and muscle tension dysphonia as the most frequently diagnosed pathologies. Vocal abuse/misuse was present in 65% of the subjects. A median DSI value of -0.4 and -0.8 was found in female and male patients, respectively. Aerodynamic and acoustic parameters and DSI scores were significantly different from normative data. Conclusion: VF is a vocal sign with a significant need for medical consultation, especially in future professional voice users. Understanding the occurrence and the influencing variables of VF may help to close the gap between early stages of a vocal problem and the starting point of a well-established disorder. (C) 2016 S.

- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Malhas para prevenção de lesões por pressão nas regiões de proeminências ósseas do quadril – revisão sistematizada de literatura(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2020-11-17) Severiano, Eneas Jose Figueiredo [UNIFESP]; Ferreira, Lydia Masako [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São PauloIntroduction: The pressure injuries result from the continuous pressure exertec by bony pcoeminences in the tegument pressed against a surface. Apparatus and devices have beem proposed in na attempt do mitigate the pressure in these áreas, mosf of which are highly complex and costly, which makes it difficult to adhere to treatment, especially after hospital discharge. Objective: To perform a literature review and search for anteriority on meshes or clothing to prevent pressure injuires in the regions of bony proeminences of the hip. Method: The search covered from April 1988 to July 2020. It was carried on the databases (Cochrane Library, Lilacs, Scielo, Medline, Web of Science & SSOPUS), having as inclusion criteria clothing aimed at preventing pressure injuries in the region of bone proeminences of the hip; there was no criteria of non-inclusion. The search of anteriority was made in the patent databases: LATIPAT (Espace Patent Search), Google Patent Search, USPTO (United States Patent and Tradmark Office), WiPO (Wordl Intellectual Property Organization), JPO (Japan Property Office, CNIPA (National Intellectual Property Agency – China) and INPI – e-patents (National Intellectual Property Institute. Results: two garments were found in the patent bases. Conclusion: No results were found for searches with the Keywords “prevention”, “injury”, “pressure”, “clothing”, “mesh” and related terms in the scientific literature. Two garments were found in the patent bases.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Oscilação do centro de pressão plantar de indivíduos com e sem entorse de tornozelo(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2014-10-31) Saito, André Kenzo [UNIFESP]; Peccin, Maria Stella [UNIFESP]; Silva, Marcelo Faria; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4210992123202641; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0428199048138850; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0517773415803195; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Introduction: The most common mechanism of ligament ankle injury is by plantar flexion associated with inversion, known as ankle sprain. The lesion may impair neuromuscular control of the individual, changing postural control and increase the chances of the individual suffer relapses. Objective: To evaluate whether there are differences as to the oscillation of the center of pressure in planting one foot between individuals with and without ankle sprain. Methods: 60 subjects (14 male volleyball athletes, 14 female volleyball athletes and 28 non-athletes), between 18 and 23 years old, with and without ankle sprain were tested in single-leg stance with eyes opened and eyes closed on baropodometer. The oscillatory pattern was captured by baropodometer (MatScan System Version 6.60 (Teckscan Inc., Boston, MA, USA) and transmitted to the computer. FAOS questionnaire was used to assess subjective functionality of individuals. For statistical analysis were used repeated-measure analysis of variance (ANOVA), Tukey post-hoc test, independent samples t-Student test, paired t-Student test, and KruskalWallis test. Results: Athletes without sprain have higher oscillations compared to athletes and non-athletes with sprains. Non-athletes without sprain have smaller oscillation compared to athletes and non-athletes with sprain Individuals without sprain have higher scores in FAOS compared to individuals with sprains. Conclusion: Athletes and non-athletes have different oscillatory patterns and it is not possible to compare these populations.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Serum endocan levels associated with hypertension and loss of renal function in pediatric patients after two years from renal transplant(Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2016) de Souza, Livia Victorino [UNIFESP]; Oliveira, Vanessa [UNIFESP]; Laurindo, Aline Oliveira [UNIFESP]; Huarachi, DelmaRegina Gomes [UNIFESP]; Koch Nogueira, Paulo Cesar [UNIFESP]; Feltran, Luciana de Santis [UNIFESP]; Medina-Pestana, Jose Osmar [UNIFESP]; Franco, Andmaria do Carmo [UNIFESP]Endocan is an important biomarker of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction that increases in association with several chronic diseases. Few published data have described the role of endocan in pediatric renal transplant (RT) patients. We evaluated the endocan concentrations in 62 children who underwent renal transplantation and assessed their relationships with the patients' blood pressure and loss of renal function. The endocan levels were significantly elevated in the pediatric RT patients who had hypertension and a loss of renal function. We determined positive correlations between the endocan concentrations and the hemodynamic variables (systolic blood pressure: r = 0.416
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Upper esophageal sphincter resting pressure varies during esophageal manometry(Colégio Brasileiro de Cirurgia Digestiva, 2014-09-01) Rezende, Daniel Tavares; Herbella, Fernando A. M.; Silva, Luciana C.; Panocchia-neto, Sebastião; Patti, Marco G.; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); University of Chicago Department of SurgeryBACKGROUND:The upper esophageal sphincter is composed of striated muscle. The stress of intubation and the need to inhibit dry swallows during an esophageal manometry test may lead to variations in basal pressure of this sphincter. Upper esophageal sphincter is usually only studied at the final part of the test. Was observed during the performance of high resolution manometry that sphincter pressure may vary significantly over the course of the test.AIM:To evaluate the variation of the resting pressure of the upper esophageal sphincter during high resolution manometry.METHODS:Was evaluated the variation of the basal pressure of the upper esophageal sphincter during high resolution manometry. Were reviewed the high resolution manometry tests of 36 healthy volunteers (mean age 31 years, 55% females). The basal pressure of the upper esophageal sphincter was measured at the beginning and at the end of a standard test.RESULTS:The mean time of the test was eight minutes. The basal pressure of the upper esophageal sphincter was 100 mmHg at the beginning of the test and 70 mmHg at the end (p<0.001). At the beginning, one patient had hypotonic upper esophageal sphincter and 14 hypertonic. At the end of the test, one patient had hypotonic upper esophageal sphincter (same patient as the beginning) and seven hypertonic upper esophageal sphincter.CONCLUSION:A significant variation of the basal pressure of the upper esophageal sphincter was observed in the course of high resolution manometry. Probably, the value obtained at the end of the test may be more clinically relevant.
