Introduction: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (BGYR) is the most widely used mixed surgical technique in Brazil for the treatment and control of obesity, being considered the most effective technique for weight loss. However, it demands continuous nutritional care, due to the greater risk of the patient to develop nutritional deficiencies. Objective: to carry out a systematic review on the main micronutrient deficiencies after gastric bypass and to determine the importance of nutritional assessment in the prevention of nutritional deficiencies. Subjects and methods: the review was carried out according to the Preferred methodology Reset Ting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyzes-PRISMA. For that, the scientific production of journals indexed in the Lilacs, Medline, Pubmed, Scielo databases was consulted, between the years 2008 to July 2018. Results: the final analysis included 25 articles. It was observed that although Rouxen-Y gastric bypass improves the patient's quality of life, this technique can cause micronutrient deficiencies such as the B complex vitamins (B12, B9, B1) of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D) and minerals like calcium, zinc and iron. These deficiencies may be present in the preoperative period or appear and worsen in the postoperative period. Conclusion: bearing in mind that deficiencies can occur both in the short and long term, nutritional and clinical monitoring of patients is necessary to monitor and prevent these deficiencies for life.

This study analyzed burnout and sense of coherence in nursing professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. To do so, 61 professionals of the Center-West region of Brazil answered the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and Sense of Coherence (SOC) instruments through a Google Forms questionnaire. The results suggested that the domain with the highest mean score in the MBI was "Personal accomplishment" (M=3.95; SD=0,53), followed by "Emotional exhaustion" (M=2.82; SD=0,83). There was a significant association between the MBI domains and the SOC-13 dimensions, with higher scores in "Comprehensibility" and "Manageability" of SOC, associated to lower "Emotional exhaustion" (rs of -0.447 and -0.572) e "Depersonalization" (rs of -0.339 and -0.383). A significant relationship was found between the psychological support at work and a decrease in the exhaustion level (p-value ≤ 0.001). These findings provide relevant contributions to devise actions focused on nursing professionals, highlighting the importance of psychological support and the strengthening of the sense of coherence.

Obesity, as a cardiovascular risk factor, is on the increase. Current analysis verifies the association between Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist Circumference (WC) with regard to risks in cardiovascular diseases. The transversal analysis with retrieval of secondary data comprised attendance charts of adult patients between =30 and =59 years old, of both sexes, attended to in a school nutrition clinic in Maringá PR Brazil, between 2009 and 2012. Further, 686 clinical charts were analyzed, of which 83.2% were of female patients. There was a positive association (p=0.0000) between the anthropometric indicators BMI and WC with regard to cardiovascular risks. Results show the importance and the needs of a joint employment of the indicators in the patients' nutritional/anthropometric assessment to prescribe dietetic interventions which are more adequate and specific with regard to the cardiovascular risk.

Introduction: The practice of physical exercises performed in a systematic way can prevent the deleterious effects of aging and related comorbidities. Objective: To evaluate the effects of 12 weeks of physical exercises (multicomponent) on the health-related physical fitness of older women. Materials and Methods: This is a clinical trial. Anthropometric assessments were performed, and body composition (via electrical bioimpedance) and physical fitness [handgrip dynamometry, elbow flexion, flexibility (Wells bench), timed up and go, sit and stand, 6-minute walk test]. The paired Student's t test was used to compare the two moments (pre and post-intervention), the relative and absolute delta of the study variables were calculated, as well as the effect size (Cohen's d), with p<0.05. Results: Twentythree older women were evaluated, aged 67.3 ± 5.2 years; body mass 75.1 ± 15.0 kg; height 155.7 ± 6.4 cm; and body mass index 30.8 ± 5.2 kg/m². The following significant differences were verified: a reduction in body mass, the body mass index, waist circumference, and the timed up and go test, as well as an increase in maximal right and left handgrip isometric strength, the elbow flexion test, sit and stand, six-minute walk test, and VO2peak (p<0.05). No significant differences were found for the other variables investigated (p>0.05). Conclusion: Multicomponent exercises can help maintain or improve health-related physical fitness in older women.

Current study describes health communication strategies in 19 municipalities in the state of Paraná. Methods comprised survey of health care networks of the region and content analysis with interviews with health secretaries. Communication events are actually circumstantial information, without any educational focus. Small municipalities have more direct communication activities (radio and loudspeakers). Networks have a weak base. In spite of such campaigns and propaganda, there is no process that would comprehend measures to provide information to citizens so that they would have co-responsibility in the construction and enhancement of the NHS.

Type 1 Diabetes mellitus (DM1) is characterized as chronic autoimmune pathology. Physical exercise (PE) is considered a positive strategy in DM1 therapy. The aim of the study was to systematize scientific evidence linking EF interventions in individuals with DM1. This is a systematic review of the literature, from clinical and randomized studies. A survey was carried out in indexed journals in the PUBMED, SCOPUS, COCHRANE, LILACS and SCIELO databases. The Descritors Health Sciences used were: diabetes mellitus, type 1 AND exercise and their correspondents in portuguese and spanish. We included 28 articles published between the years 2012 and 2016. All studies addressed the relationship between pathology management and different types, frequency, volume, duration and intensity of exercises. Different subjects were approached, such as: artificial pancreas, diet, supplementation, insulin and hypoglycemia. One of the great challenges to ensure good management of DM1 with EF practice is related to glycemic control and hypoglycemia during, shortly after or after intervention. The aerobic, resisted, pilates and intermittent PE, along with adequate diet, meal times and supplementation were effective in managing the various metabolic and clinical variables of patients with DM1.

Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined by the International Continence Society (ICS) as a condition resulting in the involuntary loss of urine, which generates a social or hygienic problem. This dysfunction, responsible for physical damage, psychological and social affects 20% to 50% of the female population throughout their lives. International Continence Society Physiotherapy indicated as first-line treatment for UI, due to its high efficiency, low cost and risk. Based on this, the present study aims to verify the benefits of physical therapy in elderly women who have stress incontinence. To check the publications related to the physiotherapy approach in stress urinary incontinence in elderly women, surveys were conducted in May 2013 in the electronic databases Bireme, Lilacs and SciELO. As search strategies used the following descriptors:'' urinary incontinence'','' physiotherapy'' and'' older''. The physical therapy is effective in elderly women who have SUI. Patients subjected to various physical therapy procedures showed improvement in symptoms of stress urinary incontinence and quality of life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
