Entretanto, permanece pouco compreendida a influência da reposição de fluido quando administrada, igualmente, durante e após o exercício sobre parâmetros cardiorrespiratórios e sobre a modulação autonômica cardíaca. Objetivo: analisar os efeitos da reposição hidroeletrolítica na frequência cardíaca (FC), pressão arterial sistólica (PAS), pressão arterial diastólica (PAD), saturação parcial de oxigênio (SpO2), frequência respiratória (f) e nos índices de variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC) calculados por métodos lineares [SDNN, RMSSD, LF(nu), HF(nu), LF(ms2), HF(ms2) e LF/HF] e não lineares (SD1, SD2, SD1/SD2, REC, DET, ApEn, DFA total, alfa-1, alfa-2) de jovens durante e após um exercício... / The reposition necessity of hydric loss from physical activity became well-known and established in international consensus. However, it is not well established the influence of fluid reposition, especially when administered equally during and after the physical activity, in cardiorespiratory parameters and autonomic cardiac modulation. Objective: analyze the effects of hydroelectrolyte reposition in heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), partial oxygen saturation (SpO2), respiratory rate (f) and heart rate variability indexes (HRV) calculated by linear methods [SDNN, RMSSD, LF(nu), HF(nu), LF(ms2), HF(ms2) and LF/HF] and nonlinear methods (SD1, SD2, SD1/SD2, REC, DET, ApEn, DFA, alpha- 1, alpha-2) in young during and after a long-term exercise ...

O objetivo desta revisão foi reunir informações e descrever as respostas proporcionadas por métodos recuperativos pós-exercício como, crioterapia, contraste, massagem e recuperação ativa, constituindo uma fonte de atualização do referido tema. Utilizou-se os bancos de dados, MedLine, Scielo e Lilacs, como lista de periódicos o SportsDiscus. Foram incluídos no estudo somente ensaios clínicos randomizados controlados e não-controlados além de artigos...

The objective of this review was to gather information and to describe the responses provided by post-exercise recovery methods, such as cryotherapy, contrast water immersion, massage and active recovery, providing an update on this issue. MedLine, Scielo and Lilacs databases were used, as well as the SportsDiscus list of journals. Only randomized controlled and non-controlled clinical essays, in addition to review articles concerning the proposed topic were included. Our choice was for the search terms: cryotherapy, massage, active recovery, thermotherapy, immersion and exercise, individually and combined. It was observed that some studies report that cryotherapy is harmful concerning post-exercise recovery, once it reduces performance immediately after the technique...

Transplants of fetal neural tissue survive and develop in lesion cavities produced in adult rats. The present experiment tested the effect of grafting fetal hippocampal or brainstem tissue on the ability of rats with hippocampal lesions to perform on a differential reinforcement of low response rate (DRL) operant schedule. The DRL interval was 20 s. Eighty-six percent of the hippocampal grafts and 69% of the brainstem grafts developed to maturity. Inspection of sections stained using a silver technique for axis cylinders or taken from rats in which the mature transplant had been injected with Fast blue, indicated that these grafts formed connections with the host brain. Consistent with previous reports, rats with hippocampal lesions were impaired in performance of the DRL task. Rats given fetal grafts of hippocampal tissue into the hippocampal lesion site on the day of lesion production were significantly better in performance of the DRL requirement than were lesion-only rats or rats receiving grafts of fetal brainstem tissue. The results of this study confirm that grafts of fetal brain tissue can both develop in a lesion site in an adult brain and ameliorate lesion-induced behavioral deficits.

A large number of elective surgical patients in Sweden and elsewhere have their surgical procedure performed in a day surgery context. The surgical care event, with its postoperative surveillance, is brief at the surgery unit and patients are discharged home with the intention that they should manage postoperative recovery mainly themselves. However, several patients attest to being in an exposed situation when assuming responsibility for recovery at home. The overall aim of this thesis was to attain comprehensive knowledge of postoperative recovery following day surgery from a patient perspective. A questionnaire, the Post-discharge Surgical Recovery scale, was translated into Swedish and evaluated regarding its psychometric properties in a Swedish context. A sample of 607 day surgery patients who had undergone orthopaedic, general or gynaecological surgery self-rated their recovery at postoperative Days 1, 7 and 14 using the Post-discharge Surgical Recovery scale and the Quality of Recovery-23. Health-related quality of life was assessed before and 30 days after the surgical procedure, using the EQ-5D. In a second sample, 31 patients were interviewed in their homes regarding their recovery after day surgery. The interviews were conducted on postoperative Days 11-37, and focused on the meaning of recovery, self-care and perceptions of recovery. Data were explored by means of a phenomenographic analysis. The Post-discharge Surgical Recovery scale showed satisfactory psychometric properties when used among Swedish day surgery patients. Following discharge, recovery included both physical and emotional perspectives. Recovery varied, and influencing factors were found to be type of surgery, age, perceived health and emotional status on the first postoperative day. Orthopaedic patients had a more protracted recovery process compared to general surgery and gynaecological patients, along with more postoperative pain and lower health-related quality of life. Patients perceived that postoperative recovery comprised different internal and external factors and a large amount of responsibility regarding their recovery and surgical outcome. To be prepared for recovery at home, patients wanted knowledge and understanding about the normal range of recovery following their specific surgical procedure, and needed support from different sources in their surroundings. This thesis provides insight into day surgery patients’ postoperative situation. Based on the studies, individualized and well thought-out support appears favourable in order to have confident and well prepared patients at home. In contrast to smooth and easy patient care at the surgery unit, the postoperative phase seems to be a weak link in the day surgical continuity of patient care. Postoperative care needs to be further improved to increase quality and patients’ overall satisfaction with the day surgical experience. Attention should be paid to patients’ physical and emotional resources and needs.
