Projeto Jovem Doutor: ações de educação em saúde voltadas à síndrome da apnéia e hipopnéia obstrutiva do sono / Young Doctor Project: health educational actions focused on the Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome

Camila de Castro Corrêa 20 March 2014 (has links)
O Projeto Jovem Doutor propicia a transmissão de conhecimentos para jovens do ensino fundamental sobre diversos temas da saúde. A Síndrome da Apneia e Hipopneia Obstrutiva do Sono (SAHOS) deve ser destacada, uma vez que esse quadro clínico implica em consequências impactantes ao indivíduo, e que se estendem para a população em uma escala ampla, tendo como exemplos acidentes de trânsito e de trabalho. Sendo assim, o objetivo foi de implementar um modelo de educação em saúde sobre o tema da SAHOS, fundamentado na dinâmica do Projeto Jovem Doutor. Para isso, realizou-se a parceria com uma escola estadual interessada em participar da dinâmica. A pesquisa foi estruturada em três etapas: organização da estrutura básica e elaboração do material educacional (1ª etapa); aplicação do programa (2ª etapa) e avaliação do modelo de educação em saúde (3ª etapa). Para a elaboração do material educacional (aulas presenciais, cybertutor, banner e folder), realizaram-se buscas em bases de dados, selecionando conteúdos, simplificando e adequando o nível de legibilidade do texto, além de inserir ilustrações (1ª etapa). Na 2ª etapa, houve a participação de 5 alunos nas duas aulas presenciais, acesso ao cybertutor, atividade prática e por fim, executaram a ação social para a disseminação do conhecimento. Foram realizadas orientações sobre o tema por meio do banner, folder, telejornal, teatro de fantoches e jogo de mímica. Ao final da Feira Cultural, houve a multiplicação do conhecimento para 985 pessoas, dentre elas, pais, professores e alunos da escola, que receberam o conhecimento diretamente pelas ações sustentadas dos Jovens Doutores. Em relação à 3ª etapa, observou-se no questionário de investigação do conhecimento o aumento em média de acertos sobre o conteúdo teórico; no acesso ao cybertutor, verificou-se que 100% dos alunos realizaram os materiais complementares e na análise da pesquisa motivacional, foi possível verificar que o curso foi considerado um Curso Impressionante!. Portanto, um modelo de educação em saúde sobre SAHOS, fundamentado na dinâmica do Projeto Jovem Doutor foi implementado, verificandose êxito no seu desenvolvimento, no aspecto motivacional dos alunos e na disseminação do conhecimento. / The Young Doctor Project provides the transmission of new knowledge for elementary school kids about various health topics. The Obstructive Sleep Apnea- Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) should be emphasized, once the disorder implies at impactful consequences for the individual and extends to the population in a large scale, as an example car and work accident. With that been said, this research aims the implementation of a health educational model about OSAHS based on the pattern of the Young Doctor Project. In order to this, a partnership with a public state school interested to participate of dynamic. This research was structured around 3 stages: organization of the basic structure and the educational material elaboration (1st stage); the program application (2nd stage); and an evaluation of the health educational model (3rd stage). To develop the educational material (class attendance, cybertutor, banner and folder), were made searches in databases, selecting content, simplifying and adjusting the text legibility, besides insert illustrations (1st stage). On 2nd stage, were involved 5 students in the two classes, accessed the cybertutor, practical activity, an also executed a social action in order to spread the knowledge. Orientations were made by banner, folder, TV newscast, pupet show and mime game. At the end the Cultural Fair, the dissemination of learning were spread to 985 people, including parents, teachers and students whose knowledge were sustained by the Young Doctors actions. At the 3rd stage, on the learning investigation questionary, were noticed an increase of right answers about the theory; at the cybertutor, 100% of the students realized the complementary material and at the motivational research, was possible to verify that the course was classified as Impressive course!. Therefore, a model of health education about OSAHS based on the Young Doctor Project pattern was implemented and it was verified its success at the motivational aspect such as at the spread of knowledge.

No. of bitstreams: 1 mariangelatorreglosaruiz_tese.pdf: 5118416 bytes, checksum: 568e4181937cd4c3e46fab3bfad62076 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-10-08 / Head and neck cancer is responsible for a high death rate. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common variation of human genome and can be associated to the molecular basis of cancer. Objectives: To establish the incidence of this disease in the Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery Service of Hospital de Base in São José do Rio Preto; to investigate the frequency of SNPs in the MTR, VEGF, KiSS-1, NINJ1, TAX1BP1 and LAD1 genes in head and neck cancer patients and a control population; to evaluate the association of these polymorphisms with smoking, alcoholism, gender and age and to verify the association between polymorphisms and clinicopathological features of the disease. Subjects and Methods: The epidemiological data of head and neck cancer patients consulted in the Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery Service in the period from 2000 to 2005 were analyzed. Eight hundred and five individuals (254 head and neck cancer patients and 551 controls) were included in the study for molecular investigation. The molecular analyses were performed with genomic DNA utilizing Real Time PCR (VEGF gene), PCR-SSCP (KiSS-1 gene), PCR RFLP (MTR, NINJ1 and TAX1BP1 genes) and automatic sequencing (LAD 1 gene) techniques. Results: An analysis of epidemiological data shows a prevalence of men (86%), smokers (83%) and alcoholics (77.95%). The most common primary tumor site was the oral cavity (35.37%). Statistical differences were found in the MTR A2756G polymorphism distribution (OR = 1.69; CI 95% 1.09-2.62; p = 0.019) by molecular analysis between patients and controls. On analyzing the primary tumor site, an increased frequency of KISS-1 polymorphic alleles was identified in laryngeal cancer (OR = 2.32; 95% CI 1.12 4.82; p = 0.02); an increased frequency of the NINJ1 polymorphism was found in oral cavity cancer (OR = 1.86; 95% CI 1.05-3.30; p = 0.03) and a decreased frequency in laryngeal cancer (OR = 0.40; 95% CI 0.22-0.74; p = 0.003); and an increase of the TAX1BP1 gene polymorphism was seen in oral cavity cancer (OR = 2.25; 95% CI 1.20-4.21; p = 0.01). A decreased frequency of the VEGF gene polymorphism was observed in advanced (T3 and T4) tumors (OR = 0.36; CI 95% 0.14-0.93; p = 0.0345) and a lower frequency of the LAD1 polymorphism in stage III and IV tumors (OR = 0.39 95% CI 0.18-0.83; p = 0.01). Conclusions: Head and neck cancer is more frequent in men, smokers and alcoholics with the most common primary tumor site being the oral cavity. MTR A2756G is associated with head and neck cancer. There is evidence of an association between this polymorphism and smoking, alcoholism, gender and age. There is also evidence of an association between the KiSS-1 gene polymorphism and laryngeal cancer, of NINJ1 and TAX1BP1 polymorphisms in oral cavity tumors, lower frequencies of the VEGF polymorphism in T3 and T4 tumors and the LAD1 polymorphism in stage III and IV tumors. / O câncer de cabeça e pescoço é responsável por uma alta incidência de óbitos. Os polimorfismos de nucleotídeos únicos (SNPs) constituem a variação mais comum do genoma humano e podem estar associados à base molecular do câncer. Objetivo: Estabelecer a incidência da doença no Serviço Ambulatorial de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço do Hospital de Base de São José do Rio Preto; investigar a freqüência de SNPs nos genes MTR, VEGF, KiSS-1, NINJ1, TAX1BP1 e LAD1 em pacientes com câncer de cabeça e pescoço e em uma população controle; avaliar a associação dos polimorfismos com os hábitos tabagista e etilista, gênero e idade e verificar a associação entre os polimorfismos e os parâmetros clínicos da doença. Casuística e Método: Foram analisados os dados epidemiológicos de pacientes atendidos no Serviço Ambulatorial de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço do Hospital de Base de São José do Rio Preto, no período de 2000 a 2005. Para a investigação molecular foram incluídos no estudo 805 indivíduos (254 pacientes com câncer de cabeça e pescoço e 551 controles). A análise molecular foi realizada com DNA genômico, e foram utilizadas as técnicas de PCR em Tempo Real (gene VEGF), PCR-SSCP (gene KiSS-1), PCR-RFLP (genes MTR, NINJ1 e TAX1BP1) e seqüenciamento automático (gene LAD1). Resultados: A análise dos dados epidemiológicos mostrou predominância de pacientes do sexo masculino (86%), hábitos tabagista (83%) e etilista (77,95%). O sítio anatômico primário mais freqüente foi a cavidade oral (35,37 %). Na análise molecular, foram encontradas diferenças estatísticas na distribuição do polimorfismo MTR A2756G (OR = 1,69; IC 95% 1,09-2,62; p = 0,019) entre pacientes e controles. Para o sítio anatômico primário do tumor, foi encontrada uma freqüência aumentada do alelo polimórfico na laringe (OR = 2,32; IC 95% 1,12 4,82; p = 0,02) para o gene KiSS-1; uma freqüência aumentada do polimorfismo para NINJ1 em cavidade oral (OR = 1,86; IC 95% 1,05 -3,30; p = 0,03) e reduzida na laringe (OR = 0,40 IC 95% 0,22-0,74; p =0,003) e um aumento da freqüência do polimorfismo para o gene TAX1BP1 na cavidade oral (OR =2,25; IC 95% 1,20-4,21; p =0,01). Foi observada uma menor freqüência do polimorfismo do gene VEGF em tumores com extensão T3 e T4 (OR = 0,36; IC 95% 0,14 0,93; p = 0,0345) e uma freqüência menor do polimorfismo do gene LAD1 em tumores com estádios III e IV (OR = 0,39 IC 95% 0,18-0,83; p = 0,01). Conclusões: O câncer de cabeça e pescoço é mais freqüente em homens, em indivíduos com hábitos tabagista e etilista e o sítio anatômico primário mais representativo é a cavidade oral. O genótipo MTR A2756G está associado ao câncer de cabeça e pescoço. Não há evidência de associação entre os polimorfismos e os hábitos tabagista, etilista, gênero e idade. Há evidências de associação entre o polimorfismo do gene KiSS-1 e laringe, entre os polimorfismos dos genes NINJ1 e TAX1BP1 e cavidade oral, e uma menor freqüência dos polimorfismos do genes VEGF em tumores com extensão T3 e T4 e LAD1 em tumores com estádios III e IV.

Chirurgie endoscopique des sinus pour le traitement de la rhinosinusite chronique : évaluation des résultats opératoires et définition du succès

Saydy, Nadim 04 1900 (has links)
La rhinosinusite chronique (RSC) est une maladie avec une haute prévalence au Canada et des impacts économiques et individuels importants. Une des options thérapeutiques dans l’algorithme complexe de traitement est la chirurgie endoscopique des sinus (CES), qui est préconisée chez les patients qui ont une réponse insatisfaisante à la thérapie médicale. Le présent mémoire porte sur les critères minimaux nécessaires à l’atteinte du succès en matière de CES. Dans un premier temps, une consultation d’experts en RSC Canadiens provenant de 12 institutions nous a permis d’offrir des définitions du succès acceptable ainsi que du succès optimal du point de vue des prestataires de santé. Dans un deuxième temps, une étude auprès de 22 patients souffrant de RSC nous a permis d’identifier les thèmes importants qui doivent guider le processus décisionnel collaboratif. La première étude a permis de conclure qu’une définition du succès post-opératoire en CES se doit de comporter 2 composantes : un aspect objectif (endoscopie nasale) et un aspect subjectif (test d’issues mesurées par le patient ou questionnaire spécifique). Selon les experts, pour parler de succès optimal il faut une résolution complète des symptômes ainsi qu’un résultat endoscopique parfait. La deuxième étude a permis de démontrer que les patients accordent beaucoup plus d’importance à la résolution du symptôme cardinal qui les a amenés à consulter. Cette dernière étude a également permis une exploration plus large des objectifs et attentes, ainsi que de l’expérience patient en ce qui a trait à la RSC et à la CES. En conclusion, l’évaluation des aspects subjectifs devrait être l’aspect le plus important que les cliniciens évaluent pour parler de succès. Une évaluation de la cavité nasale et des sinus devrait complémenter cette évaluation environ 3 mois après la chirurgie. Ce mémoire inclus des algorithmes pour aider les cliniciens dans l’évaluation du succès opératoire après une CES. / Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a prevalent, complex disease with important economic and individual impacts. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is widely used treatment for CRS, which is considered in patients with an unsatisfactory response to maximal medical therapy. This thesis examines the different ways clinicians may obtain feedback with regards to post-operative success and aims to offer definitions of acceptable success and optimal success. First, a consultation of Canadian experts in CRS from 12 institutions permitted us to construct definitions of acceptable and optimal success from healthcare providers’ viewpoint. Second, a study in collaboration with 22 patients suffering from CRS allowed us to identify key themes which will facilitate the inclusion of primary stakeholders in shared decision-making. The first study allowed us to conclude that a definition of postoperative success must be based on 2 components: an objective aspect (nasal endoscopy) and a subjective aspect (patient-reported outcome measure or specific questionnaire). According to experts, optimal success requires a complete resolution of symptoms as well as a perfect endoscopic result. With the second study, we demonstrated that patients tend to focus on the resolution of their cardinal symptom. This last study also allowed us to widely explore patients’ objectives and expectations, as well as their experience with CRS and FESS. In conclusion, subjective aspects should be the most important determinants of success after FESS. In addition, an evaluation of the nasal cavity and sinuses should complement the subjective evaluation approximately 3 months after surgery. This thesis includes algorithms to aid clinicians in evaluating the outcome of FESS for patients with CRS.
