No. of bitstreams: 1 fernandofilipe_dissert.pdf: 443784 bytes, checksum: bb6328cd8296f1c4b222d0c43cdafda1 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2006-02-13 / Adjacent segment disease is defined as an abnormal process developing in the adjacent level above and/or bellow the arthrodesis of the segment. It is considered a late complication of lumbar spine arthrodesis. It has been very important due to the procedures in the last years. Objective: To evaluate the risk factors associated with the disease at adjacent level as well as its relationship with the natural history of degenerative disease of the lumbar spine. Material and Methods: This was a retrospective study, from January 2000 to December 2002.Thirty-eight patients undergoing arthrodesis in the lumbosacral spine using the pedicle screw fixation participated in the study. Results: These patients had a mean follow-up of 30 months; 10 patients presented adjacent segment disease, 7 disc degeneration, 2 spinal stenosis and one discal spine hernia. The patients´ mean age was 48.5 years; female sex was the majority. Degeneration occurred in 4 patients with stenosis; 4 with spondylolisthesis, and 1 with post disc hernia; all these had been submitted to arthrodesis of lumbosacral spine. The majority was asymptomatic, after being treated by arthrodesis in multiple levels. There was no statistical difference when the above factors were related. Conclusion: Adjacent segment disease is a late complication in the arthrodesis of lumbosacral spine with no relationship of risk factors presented in this study. Therefore, its origin could be related with the natural history of the degenerative disease of lumbar spine. / A doença do nível adjacente é definida como um processo anormal que se desenvolve no nível adjacente, acima e/ou abaixo do segmento artrodesado. Considerada como uma complicação tardia da artrodese da coluna vertebral, tem-se tornado muito importante em decorrência do aumento dos procedimentos nos últimos anos. Objetivo: Avaliar os fatores de risco associados à ocorrência da doença do nível adjacente e sua relação com a história natural da doença degenerativa da coluna vertebral. Material e métodos: Análise retrospectiva de janeiro de 2000 a dezembro de 2002, realizada em 38 pacientes submetidos a artrodese de coluna lombosacra com a utilização de parafuso pedicular. Resultado: Os pacientes analisados apresentavam follow up médio de 30 meses, com a presença de 10 pacientes com doença do nível adjacente; sendo 7 com degeneração discal, 2 com estenose de canal vertebral e 1 com hérnia de disco. A idade média dos pacientes foi 48,5 anos, com predomínio no sexo feminino. A degeneração ocorreu em 4 pacientes com estenose de canal, em 4 pacientes com espondilolistese, em 1 paciente com escoliose e em 1 paciente pós hérnia de disco, os quais tinham sido submetidos a artrodese da coluna lombosacra. A maioria dos pacientes foram submetidos a artrodese em múltiplos níveis e apresentavam-se assintomáticos. Nenhuma diferença estatística foi evidenciada quando relacionados os fatores acima. Conclusão: A doença do nível adjacente é uma complicação tardia existente na artrodese de coluna lombosacra, não relacionada aos fatores de risco apresentados; portanto o seu aparecimento estaria relacionado à história natural da doença degenerativa da coluna lombar.

Resurrecting the Dead : Comparing Diseases and Skeletal Pathologies in Ajvide Hunter-Gatherers and the Medieval Population of Visby / Återuppväckning av de Döda : En jämförelse av sjukdomar och skeletala förändringar påträffade bland Ajvides jägare-samlare samt den medeltida populationen i Visby

Fagerholm, Fanny January 2023 (has links)
The skeletal material used in this thesis consists of 258 individuals, whereas 179 individuals had the requirements entailed for an analysis of health and lifestyles. In other words, their sex and age had been osteologically determined. In addition, they are either young adults, adults, or seniors, as infants and subadults usually die before skeletal changes. Males represent 63 percent (n=112) and females 37 percent (n=67) of the material. The material is collected from a Stone Age dwelling site in Ajvide, Gotland, and six Medieval churches in Visby, Gotland: St Hans, St Per, St Clemens, Ryska Kyrkan, St Gertrud and St Mikael. One of the most noticeable traits caused by a change in subsistence strategies is an increase in enamel hypoplasia, cribra orbitalia, degenerative joint diseases, and activity-related pathologies, as well as a decrease in oral health. Therefore, the population of Medieval Visby was exposed to more stressors in the shape of infections and malnutrition. Furthermore, the high amount of degenerative joint diseases also indicates a more physically strenuous life. / Skelettmaterialet som använts i denna uppsats består av 258 individer, varav 179 individer uppfyllde de krav som krävdes för en lyckad analys. Individerna måste alltså ha en känd ålder och kön, dessutom exkluderades spädbarn och juvenila, då de oftast avled innan skeletala förändringar. I materialet representerade männen 63 procent (n=112) och kvinnorna 37 procent (n=67) av den totala mängden skelett. Materialet hade blivit insamlad från stenåldersboplatsen Ajvide på Gotland samt sex medeltida kyrkor från Visby, Gotland: St Hans, St Per, St Clemens, Ryska Kyrkan, St Gertrud och St Mikael. Noterbara förändringar är en ökning i emaljhypoplasi, cribra orbitalia, degenerativa ledsjukdomar, aktivitet-relaterade patologier samt försämrad oral hälsa. Detta tyder på att den medeltida befolkningen utsattes för mer stress i form av infektioner och undernäring. Mängden degenerativa ledsjukdomar indikerar dessutom på ett mer fysiskt ansträngande liv.

Estudio cualitativo del perfil del cuidador primario, sus estilos de afrontamiento y el vínculo afectivo con el enfermo oncológico infantil

García Romero, Bernardo Celso 08 July 2011 (has links)
La família és una peça clau en el suport del malalt durant el procés de la malaltia. No obstant això, les conseqüències psicològiques que comporta l'impacte de la malaltia i continus cures, sovint repercuteixen en la seva pròpia salut i per tant en la seva qualitat de vida. Objectiu: El present estudi analitza les principals necessitats del cuidador primari, així com les motivacions per a l'adquisició del rol i el manteniment de la cura. S'han identificat les principals estratègies d'afrontament que empren els cuidadors al llarg del procés de la malaltia per fer front a l'impacte de l'estrès, així com l'anàlisi del vincle afectiu que el cuidador manté amb el malalt. Metodologia: A través d'un estudi qualitatiu de tall transversal es van realitzar 35 entrevistes individuals i 10 grups focals. Es va comptar amb la participació de 26 dones i 9 homes amb una mitjana de 34 anys, tots ells cuidadors primaris de nens i nenes amb càncer albergats en un centre d'atenció que ofereix ajuda a malalts infantils de càncer de l'occident de Mèxic. Resultats: El perfil del cuidador primari correspon, principalment a dones, amb un nivell educatiu mitjà, casades i d'un estrat socioeconòmic baix, que exerceixen el seu rol de cuidadores i de mestresses de casa. La motivació de la cura està associada a sentiments amor, deure i altruisme. La majoria dels cuidadors empraven estratègies d'afrontament centrades en l'emoció i mantenien un vincle de tipus segur amb el malalt. / La familia es una pieza clave en el apoyo del enfermo durante el proceso de la enfermedad. Sin embargo, las consecuencias psicológicas que conlleva el impacto de la enfermedad y continuos cuidados, a menudo repercuten en su propia salud y por ende en su calidad de vida. Objetivo: El presente estudio analiza las principales necesidades del cuidador primario, así como las motivaciones para la adquisición del rol y el mantenimiento del cuidado. Se han identificado las principales estrategias de afrontamiento que emplean los cuidadores a lo largo del proceso de la enfermedad para hacer frente al impacto del estrés, así como el análisis del vínculo afectivo que el cuidador mantiene con el enfermo. Metodología: A través de un estudio cualitativo de corte transversal se realizaron 35 entrevistas individuales y 10 grupos focales. Se contó con la participación de 26 mujeres y 9 hombres con una media de 34 años, todos ellos cuidadores primarios de niños y niñas con cáncer albergados en un centro de atención que brinda ayuda a enfermos infantiles de cáncer del occidente de México. Resultados: El perfil del cuidador primario corresponde, principalmente a mujeres, con un nivel educativo medio, casadas y de un estrato socioeconómico bajo, que ejercen su rol de cuidadoras y de amas de casa. La motivación del cuidado está asociada a sentimientos amor, deber y altruismo. La mayoría de los cuidadores empleaban estrategias de afrontamiento centradas en la emoción y mantenían un vínculo de tipo seguro con el enfermo. / The family is essential in supporting the patient during the disease process. However, the psychological consequences that entails the impact of the disease and ongoing care, often affect their own health and quality of life. Objective: This study analyzes the main needs of primary caregiver, and the reasons for the acquisition and maintenance of the role of care. The study has identified the main coping strategies used by caregivers throughout the disease process to face the impact of stress and the attachment between the caregiver and the patient. Methodology: Through a cross-sectional qualitative study was conducted 35 individual interviews and 10 reflective groups. It was attended by 26 women and 9 men with an average of 34 years, all primary caregivers of children housed in a cancer care center that provides assistance to children of cancer patients in western Mexico. Results: The primary caregiver profile corresponds mainly to women, with an average educational level and a low socioeconomic status who carry out their role as caregivers and homemakers. The motivation of care is associated with feelings love, obligation and altruism. Most caregivers used coping strategies focused on emotion and had a positive and safe attachment with the patient.
