Métodos: Realizado um estudo seccional com 473 mulheres com doença maligna da mama, estadiamento I a III, tratadas no Instituto Nacional de Câncer, Brasil, em 2004. Dados epidemiológicos e clínicos foram obtidos. Os parâmetros antropométricos usados para definir obesidade foram obtidos na visita de admissão, antes do procedimento cirúrgico, com técnicas recomendadas pela Organização Mundial de Saúde: peso (Kg), altura (cm), circunferência da cintura (cm), Índice de massa corporal (IMC, peso/(altura2)) e relação cintura quadril. A expressão de receptores para estrogênio (RE) e progesterona (RP) foi determinada por imunohistoquimica. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética da Instituição. Comparações de freqüências foram analisadas através do teste exato de Fisher. Razão de prevalência (PrevR) foi calculada para avaliar as diferenças nas prevalências de RH com as categorias para IMC, CC e RCQ. Resultados: A maior parte das mulheres apresentava sobrepeso (68,9%) e obesidade central (CC > 88cm e RCQ > 0,85 em 64,3% e 73,4%, respectivamente). A maioria (54,1%) apresentou tumores com expressão para RE e RP, sendo 78,6% expressando, pelo menos, um dos RH. Existiu uma proporção significantemente maior de tumores RE+/RP+ em mulheres na pósmenopausa (p<0,001). BMI (p=0,12), WC (p=0,07) e RCQ (p=0,55) não foram relacionados à expressão de RH em mulheres na pré-menopausa. Em mulheres na pós-menopausa, BMI (p=0,30), WC (p=0,35) e RCQ (p=1,00) também não foram relacionados à expressão de RH. Conclusão: O presente estudo reforça o conceito de que a expressão dos receptores hormonais para tumores mamários é dependente do estado menopausal. CC e RCQ podem não ser bons preditores de expressão de RH em doenças malignas da mama para mulheres na pré e pósmenopausa. Palavras-chave: câncer de mama, obesidade, receptor hormonal, circunferência da cintura / Abstract: Objective: to evaluate the relation between body parameters used to define central obesity -waist circumference (WC) and waist to hip ratio (WRH)- and steroid receptor status in breast carcinomas of pre- and postmenopausal women. Subjects and methods: This is a cross-sectional study on 473 women with breast malignancies stage I-III, treated at the National Cancer Institute, Brazil, in 2004. Clinical and epidemiological data were obtained. The anthropometrics used to define obesity were obtained at the admission visit, before the surgical procedure, with the techniques recommended by the World Health Organization: weight (Kg), height (cm), the waist and hip circumferences (cm), body mass index (BMI, weight/(height^2)), and the waist to hip ratio. The expression of estrogen (ER) and progesterone (RP) receptors were determined with imunohistochemistry. The institutons¿ ethics review board has approved the study. Frequency comparisons were analyzed with Fisher¿s exact tests. Prevalence ratios (PrevR) were calculated to assess the differences in prevalence for HR within the categories for BMI, WC and WHR. Results: Most women were overweight or obese (68.9%), and had central obesity (WC>=88 and WHR>=0.85 in 64.3 and 73.4%, respectively). The majority (54.1%) of the women had tumors that expressed ER and PR, being that 78.6% of the sample expressed at least one of the HR. There was a significantly higher proportion of positive RE+/RP+ tumors in postmenopausal women (p < 0.001). BMI (p=0.12), WC (p=0.07) and WHP (p=0.55) were not related to the HR status in premenopausal women. In postmenopausal women, BMI (p=0.30), WC (p=0.35) and WHP (p=1.00) were also not related to the HR status. Conclusions: The present study reinforces the concept that the HR status of breast tumors is dependent upon the menopausal status. WC or WHR may not be good predictors of HR status in breast malignancies of pre- and postmenopausal women.

Historically, one of the most feared complications after the treatment of breast cancer is lymphedema. However, one problem often observed in patients is obesity with abdominal fat being a cardiovascular risk factor. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution of abdominal fat in patients with clinical diagnosis of breast cancer treatment-related lymphedema. Patients and Method: Forty-five female patients with clinical diagnosis of lymphedema after breast cancer treatment were evaluated in a randomized controlled case study in the Clinica Godoy in 2012. A control group of 38womenwithout breast cancer, who attended the clinic for other reasons, were matched for age and body mass index (BMI). Both groups were evaluated by bioimpedance using the InBody®S10 device; age, abdominal fat and BMI were the main variables considered. The unpaired t-test, and Mann-Whitney and Fisher's exact tests were used for statistical analysis with an alpha error of 5% being considered acceptable. Results: There was no significant difference in the BMI between groups (unpaired t-test: p-value=0.23; 95% CI=-2.68-0.66: Standard deviation of study and control groups were 4.03 and 3.53, respectively). However there was a significant difference between the two groups in respect to abdominal fat (unpaired t-test: p-value<0.0001; 95% CI=86.71-116.77 and Mann-Whitney test: mean =100.75; 95% CI =83.7-112.5). Conclusions: Using bioimpedance, this study found that women with arm lymphedema after breast cancer treatment have higher levels of abdominal fat compared to women who had not suffered from breast cancer. Bioimpedance is efficient to evaluate abdominal fat as a low cost option in these patients and not invisibility. / Introdução: O câncer de mama atualmente é o mais comum dos cânceres em mulheres no mundo. Uma das complicações mais temida no pós-tratamento do câncer de mama relatado historicamente é o linfedema. Entretanto, um dos problemas observados nestas mulheres é a obesidade, sendo que a gordura abdominal constitui risco cardiovascular. Objetivo: O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o aumenta na distribuição da gordura abdominal em mulheres pós-tratamento de câncer de mama com linfedema de membros superiores. Casuística e Método: Foram avaliadas, em estudo caso controle randomizado, 45 pacientes do sexo feminino com linfedema, diagnóstico clínico pós-tratamento de câncer de mama, acompanhadas na Clínica Godoy, em 2012; e comparadas com 38 mulheres sem câncer de mama, do grupo controle, que frequentam a clínica por outras causas, as quais foram pareadas por idade e Índice de Massa Corpórea (IMC). Ambos os grupos foram submetidos à avaliação pela bioimpedância, aparelho InBody® S 10, sendo enfatizada a idade, gordura abdominal e Índice de Massa Corpórea (IMC). Para a análise estatística foram utilizados Teste t não pareado, Teste de Mann-Whitney e Teste exato de Fisher, considerando erro alfa de 5%. Resultados: Relação do IMC do grupo controle com o grupo de estudo apresentado no Teste t não pareado: P = 0,23; IC 95% = -2,68 - 0,66. Desvio padrão do grupo de estudo (4,03) e desvio padrão do grupo controle (3,53). Em relação à gordura abdominal do grupo controle com o grupo de estudo apresentado no teste t não pareado: P < 0,0001; IC 95% = 86,71- 116,77. Teste Mann-whitney para análise da gordura abdominal entre o grupo de estudo e o grupo controle: média= 100,75; IC = 83,7 - 112,5. Conclusões: 1- O presente estudo concluiu que mulheres no pós-tratamento de câncer de mama com linfedema de membros superiores, apresentaram aumento no valor da gordura abdominal em relação a mulheres que não tiveram câncer de mama, avaliadas pela Bioimpedância. 2- A bioimpedância pode ser indicada para rastreamento da gordura abdominal nessas pacientes como uma opção de exame de baixo custo e viável.

Os exames endoscópicos são considerados procedimentos invasivos, desconfortáveis e estressantes. A colonoscopia, em virtude da necessidade de laxantes para o preparo do cólon, de sua complexidade técnica e do constrangimento devido à maior exposição, causa ansiedade, preocupação e preconceito. No entanto, a colonoscopia é, atualmente, o procedimento de escolha para investigação de enfermidades do intestino grosso de elevada acurácia e possibilidade de realização de procedimentos terapêuticos, mas requer elevada colaboração e tolerância dos pacientes. A tolerância pode ser interpretada de várias maneiras, como aceitação, nível de satisfação e conforto durante o exame, ou disposição para repetir o procedimento. Foi realizado no Centro de Diagnóstico do Serviço de Gastroenterologia Clínica do Instituto Central do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, SP, um estudo observacional prospectivo, longitudinal, com o objetivo de avaliar o nível de tolerância do paciente submetido à colonoscopia e os fatores intervenientes na tolerância. No período de março a dezembro de 2008, foram avaliados 373 pacientes adultos consecutivos, submetidos à colonoscopia eletiva. Foram incluídos pacientes submetidos a exames eletivos, com idade acima de 18 anos, com compreensão e aceitação da entrevista e do procedimento, e que assinaram o termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido. Um inquérito foi aplicado antes, durante e após o exame, a partir de dois questionários: formulário do paciente, preenchido pelo médico pesquisador; e ficha de avaliação médica, preenchido pelos médicos pesquisador e executante. No presente estudo considerou-se tolerância como a disposição do paciente para repetir o exame. Esse questionamento foi aplicado imediatamente na pré-alta, com o indivíduo desperto e orientado, no mínimo duas horas após o procedimento. Os fatores avaliados no pré-exame, durante o exame e no pós-exame foram comparados entre o grupo de pacientes tolerantes e os não tolerantes. Noventa e um por cento dos pacientes avaliados mostraram-se tolerantes à colonoscopia. Maiores níveis de tolerância foram observados em pacientes do sexo masculino (p=0,005; OR=14,8), com idade entre 41 anos e 60 anos (p=0,003; OR=56,92), colaborativos durante o exame (p=0,013; OR=6,15) e que não apresentaram cólica durante o preparo intestinal (p=0,013; OR=5) ou dor abdominal após o procedimento (p=0,032; OR=3,25). Um dos fatores limitantes do presente estudo foi o desconhecimento da razão pela qual o paciente não faria novamente o exame. A diferente graduação dos médicos colonoscopistas, a inclusão de pacientes ambulatoriais e internados submetidos à cirurgia colorretal tornaram a amostra heterogênea, porém mais representativa da prática clínica. Nessa amostra, a dor abdominal associada à colonoscopia foi o elemento mais significativo na caracterização da tolerância / Endoscopic assessments are considered invasive, uncomfortable and stressful procedures. The colonoscopy, due to the need for laxative use for colon preparation, its technical complexity and the embarrassment caused by privacy exposure, results in anxiety, concern and prejudice. However, the colonoscopy is currently the procedure of choice to investigate large bowel disorders, due to its high accuracy and the possibility of performing therapeutic procedures during the examination, but it requires a high degree of collaboration and compliance on the part of the patient. Tolerance can be interpreted in different ways, such as acceptance, level of satisfaction, and comfort during the examination, or willingness to have the procedure repeated. A prospective observational study was carried out at the Diagnostic Center of the Service of Clinical Gastroenterology of Instituto Central of Hospital das Clínicas of the School of Medicine of the University of São Paulo (HCFMUSP), aiming at evaluating the level of tolerance of patients submitted to colonoscopy and the factors that interfere with this tolerance. A total of 373 consecutive adult patients submitted to elective colonoscopy were studied from March to December 2008. The inclusion criteria consisted of patients submitted to elective examinations, aged 18 and older, which understood and agreed with the interview and the procedure and signed the Free and Informed Consent Form. A survey was applied before, during and after the examination, based on two questionnaires: the patients questionnaire, filled out by the medical researcher and the medical assessment file, filled out by the medical researcher and the attending physician. The present study considered the patients tolerance as the willingness to have the procedure repeated. This survey was applied immediately at the pre-hospital discharge, when the patient was conscious and oriented, at least two hours after the procedure. The factors assessed before, during and after the examination were compared between the groups of compliant and non-compliant patients. A total of 91% of the assessed patients showed to be compliant with the colonoscopy. Higher levels of tolerance were observed in male patients (p=0.005; OR=14.8), aged 41 to 60 years (p=0.003; OR=56.92), who collaborated during the examination (p=0.013; OR=6.15) and did not have colic during the intestinal preparation (p=0.013; OR=5) or abdominal pain after the procedure (p=0.032; OR=3.25). One limitation of the present study was the lack of information on why the patient would not have the procedure repeated. The varied degrees of skill presented by colonoscopists, the inclusion of outpatients and inpatients submitted to colorectal surgery made the sample a more heterogeneous one, albeit more representative of clinical practice. In this sample, abdominal pain associated with the colonoscopy was the most significant element in the characterization of tolerance

Gastroschisis is a full thickness abdominal wall defect, usually to the right of the umbilicus, through which a variable amount of viscera herniates, without a covering membrane. Newborns with gastroschisis present challenging problems to paediatric surgeons. The incidence of gastroschisis is rising worldwide. In developed countries, advances in neonatal intensive care have improved survival of patients with gastroschisis. In the few reported studies from Africa, mortality rates of patients with gastroschisis are high. The aim of this study was to evaluate outcome of gastroschisis from a centre in Africa with modern neonatal intensive care facilities. Methods: A retrospective analysis of all neonates admitted with the diagnosis of gastroschisis at Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital (IALCH) over a 6-year period (2002-2007). Proportions in percentages were used for categorical variables. For continuous variables the mean with standard deviation (SD) were derived. Two sampled t-test was used to show the pvalue for the time to reduction between the non-survivors and survivors with a 95% confidence interval. Results: There was a significant increase in the prevalence of gastroschisis among neonatal surgical admissions from 6.2% in 2003 to 15.2% in 2007. There were more females 53.4%, the majority (71.7% had low birth weight and 64.2% were born prematurely. Although 75% (n=79) of the mothers attended antenatal clinic, antenatal diagnosis by ultrasound was made in only 13 (n=12%)). Most of the babies 90.6% were out-born, with 70.8% delivered by normal vaginal delivery (NVD), and 57.4% of the mothers were primiparous. Primary closure was achieved in 73.5% of the patients. The overall mean (SD) time from birth to primary surgical intervention was 16 (13.04) hours and was higher 17(9.1) hours in those who died compared to survivors 15 (16.0), but the difference was not statistically significant, p=0.4465 and mortality was 43% with sepsis as the leading cause. Staged closure with a plastic silo bag was associated with more than double the mortality as compared to primary closure. Conclusion: The prevalence of gastroschisis among neonatal surgical admissions has increased in accordance with international trends. Due to lack of antenatal diagnosis, most of the babies were out-born resulting into delay in offering surgical treatment. Mortality is still high despite the presence of modern intensive care. / Thesis (M.Med.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2008.
