However, these studies do not report smartphone dependence and DQT symptomatology. Objective: We aimed to evaluate the association between problematic smartphone use (PSU) and DQT symptomatology among young adults. Design: Analytical cross-sectional study. Methods: We included adults between 18 and 25 years and evaluated DQT symptomatology's presence using the Finkelstein test. We used Experiences Related to Mobile Phone Use Questionnaire to measure the PSU. We carried out a generalized linear model from the Poisson family. We calculated the crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) with their 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: In total, we analyzed 491 subjects, the majority were women (52%), and the median age was 20 years. Of the total study population, 53% had positive results in the Finkelstein test, while 53% of the population had PSU. After adjusting our generalized linear model for confounders variables, we found that there is a higher prevalence of DQT symptomatology in those participants with occasional PSU and frequent PSU compared with participants without PSU, (aPR = 1.73, 95% CI: 1.47–2.05) and (aPR = 1.61; 95% CI: 1.29–2.00); respectively. We also found a higher prevalence of DQT symptomatology related to the number of hours per day in smartphones, pain with smartphones in the last week and using WhatsApp. Conclusion: We found a higher prevalence of De Quervain's tenosynovitis symptomatology in the people with problematic smartphone use. / Revisión por pares

No presente estudo buscaram-se investigar quais foram às alterações existentes em indivíduos que apresentavam SI: qual o domínio da Qualidade de Vida (QV) estava alterado, qual a incapacidade, os sintomas e a Amplitude de Movimento (ADM) dos membros superiores (MMSS) e quais as diferenças entre os tratamentos fisioterápicos convencional e "Isostreching". Após as análises estatísticas, verificou-se que 50% dos voluntários estudados eram do gênero masculino nos dois grupos e que o ombro dominante era o direito. A SI foi referida bilateralmente em 56,67% dos indivíduos do Grupo I e em 46,66% do Grupo II somente no ombro direito. Quanto à aderência aos tratamentos foi alta nos 2 grupos. Após os tratamentos, os resultados mostraram que em relação aos 8 domínios da QV, obteve-se melhora na Capacidade funcional, Vitalidade, Aspectos Sociais e Saúde Mental, sendo o Grupo I apresentou melhores resultados. Quanto aos domínios: Estado Geral de Saúde e Aspecto Emocional obteve-se pouca melhora nos dois grupos. A melhora do domínio Dor destacou-se no Grupo I em relação ao tratamento convencional do Grupo II. O Questionário de Incapacidade do Braço, Ombro e Mão (DASH), auxiliou na análise dos resultados dos sintomas e da incapacidade nos indivíduos com SI. As respostas deste questionário mostraram que os sintomas e a incapacidade obtiveram melhores resultados com o Grupo I em relação ao Grupo II. Quanto à Goniometria, não houve diferença estatística no ganho da ADM entre os 2 grupos, mas houve ganho percentual importante com os dois tratamentos, onde o ombro direito obteve ganho maior do que o lado esquerdo mesmo com a bilateralidade do lado acometido sendo alta no Grupo I. Conclusão: de acordo com os resultados obtidos nesta pesquisa, que mostrou melhora na reabilitação dos pacientes com SI do ombro por meio do tratamento de "Isostreching", a utilização desta técnica pareceu por suas aplicações sinérgicas e lógicas ser mais uma ferramenta importante para o arsenal terapêutico desta síndrome dolorosa / Abstract: Impact Syndrome (IS) and occupational diseases have diagnosis and treatment needs where rehabilitation has an important role for pain management and return to work and to normal physical activities. With this study sought to identify changes in people suffering IS: what domain of Quality of Life (QOL) was altered, which disabilities, symptoms and Range of Motion (ROM) of the upper limbs and, also, the differences between conventional physiotherapy and "Isostreching". After statistical analysis, it was found that 50% of subjects studied were male in both groups and the dominant shoulder was right. The IS was reported bilaterally in 56.67% of patients in Group I and and only on the right shoulder in 46.66% of cases in Group II. Adherence to treatment was high in two groups. After treatments, the results showed that in relation to the 8 domains of QOL, obtained an improvement in Functional Capacity, Vitality, Social Functioning, and Mental Health, with best results in Group I. For the domains: General Health and Emotional Aspect obtained little improvement in both groups. The improved in the domain Pain stood out in Group I compared to Group II with conventional treatment. The Questionnaire Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH), supported the analysis of the results of symptoms and disability in individuals with IS. The answers to this questionnaire indicated that symptoms and disability fared better in Group I than in Group II. As for goniometry, there was no statistical difference in the gain of ROM comparing the groups, but there were important percentage gain with both treatments, which had earned the right shoulder higher than the left one, even with the bilaterality of the affected side being high in Group I. Conclusion: according to the results obtained in this study, which showed improvement in the rehabilitation of patients with IS shoulder through treatment "Isostreching". The use of this technique seemed by their synergetic and logic applications to be more an important tool for the therapeutic armamentarium of this painful syndrome / Doutorado / Epidemiologia / Doutora em Saúde Coletiva

Bei der vorgelegten Habilitationsschrift handelt es sich um eine kumulative Arbeit. In den einzelnen Originalarbeiten werden die Probleme der bildgebenden Verfahren bei der Diagnostik einer Früharthritis sowie Empfehlungen zur Technik und Evaluierung des Stellenwertes der Arthrosonographie in der Diagnostik rheumatischer Krankheitsbilder, beispielhaft an unterschiedlichen Gelenken dargestellt. In einer prospektiven bildgebenden Verlaufsstudie werden vier bildgebende Verfahren (konventionelle Röntgendiagnostik, Drei-Phasen-Skelett-Szintigraphie, Arthrosonographie, dynamische MR-Tomographie) neben dem klinischen Untersuchungsbefund hinsichtlich des Nachweises des frühentzündlichen Weichteil- und Knochenprozesses initial von 60 Patienten und im Verlauf von 49 Patienten mit arthritischen Erkrankungen der Fingergelenke untersucht. Im Ergebnis konnte gezeigt werden, dass die MR-Tomographie, die Arthrosonographie und die Drei-Phasen-Skelett-Szintigraphie sensitiver im Nachweis eines entzündlichen Gelenkprozesses sind als die konventionelle Röntgendiagnostik. Die Sonographie erlaubt dabei einen sensitiven Nachweis der entzündlichen Weichteilläsionen in Form einer sich entwickelnden Synovitis und Tenosynovitis, ist jedoch im Vergleich zur MR-Tomographie nicht optimal im Nachweis der Knochenerosionen. Oberflächlich liegende Knochenläsionen werden mittels Sonographie besser erfasst als tiefer liegende Knochenläsionen. Der Einsatz der Szintigraphie ist weniger geeignet als die Sonographie und MR-Tomographie im Nachweis des frühentzündlichen Gelenkprozesses wegen ihrer unzureichenden Spezifität. Die MR-Tomographie zeigte sich ebenso sensitiver als die konventionelle Röntgendiagnostik im Nachweis der entzündlichen Weichteilläsionen als auch im Nachweis von Erosionen. Die konventionelle Röntgendiagnostik ist nicht sensitiv genug im Nachweis einer Früharthritis mit frühen Knorpel- und Knochenläsionen. Die Sonographie erlaubt eine gute Differenzierung zwischen Erguss, Synovialis, Proliferation und Tenosynovitis. Knochenläsionen werden mittels Sonographie ebenfalls früher nachgewiesen als mittels konventioneller Röntgendiagnostik aber nicht in dem Ausmaß wie mittels MR-Tomographie. Auch wenn die MR-Tomographie sich empfindlicher erwies in dem Aufzeigen früher Gelenkläsionen, so hat die Arthrosonographie eine große Bedeutung in der täglichen Praxis als eine leicht einzusetzende, kostengünstige und patientenfreundliche Untersuchungsmethode. Die Arthrosonographie und die MR-Tomographie sind hilfreiche diagnostische Verfahren bei Arthritis-Patienten mit negativem Röntgenbefund. / This work represents a cumulative collection of several original papers addressing problems of imaging techniques in early arthritis. Guidelines of technique and evaluation of musculoskeletal sonography in the diagnosis of rheumatic diseases are shown on example of different joints. A prospective imaging study was performed to compare conventional radiography, three-phase-bone-scintigraphy, ultrasonography (US), 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical course in 60 patients initially and 49 patients at follow-up of patients with arthritis of finger joints at two years. We could show that MRI, US and scintigraphy were more sensitive in detection of early arthritic changes than conventional radiography. The sonography was able to detect early inflammatory soft tissue changes such e.g. synovitis and tenosynovitis and demonstrate erosions very sensitively and earlier than conventional radiography. Superficially located bone lesions were detected better than deeper lesions by sonography. Scintigraphy was not suitable for the detection of early erosion because of its low specificity. Moreover, MRI was a sensitive method for the detecting of both soft tissue lesions and early erosions in arthritis. The conventional radiography was unsufficient sensitive in detection of early arthritis with early cartilage and bone lesions. The sonography allows a good differentiation between effusion, synovitis proliferation and tenosynovitis. Bone lesions were detected earlier by sonography than conventional radiography though not to the same extent as 3D MRI. Musculoskeletal sonography is most valuable in a clinical setting because of its good handling, low costs and patient convinience, whereas MRI appears to be the most sensitive detection method of early joint lesions. Overall, sonography and MRI are helpful diagnostic tools in arthritis patients with negative radiographic findings.
