Introduction: In the context of people living with HIV (PLHIV), dyslipidemia is an issue that has been widely discussed, both because of its multifactorial origin and its cardiovascular implications as well as because of its possible prevention strategies. Thus, this study aims to assess the presence of dyslipidemia in people living with HIV and its association with socio-demographic, attitudinal and clinical aspects. Materials and Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted between 2014 and 2016. The data were collected through interviews in which questionnaires and clinical records were used. To analyze the association, Chi- Squared and Fisher's Exact tests and Kappa statistics were used for concordance analysis with a level of significance of p<0.05. Results: 340 individuals participated in the study of which 59.1% showed desirable values in terms of total cholesterol, 55.9% of HDL and 56.8% of triglycerides. The variables associated with dyslipidemia were: altered total cholesterol and being over 40 years old (p=0.02); desirable HDL-C and female sex (p=0.007); altered triglycerides and time of diagnosis greater than ten years (p=0.008); and desirable HDL-C and undetectable viral load (p=0.04). Discussion: Although dyslipidemia is a problem in the HIV context, the desirable values were more prevalent, which is reflected in the catalytic effect of the HIV-caused inflammatory activity on lipid alterations. Conclusions: Dyslipidemia on people living with HIV mainly showed desirable values for total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. There was an association between lipids and socio-demographic and clinical aspects related to VIH. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aimed to identify the musculoskeletal symptoms reported by athletes participating in a CrossFit® competition held in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil, in December 2016. The sample consisted of 195 athletes, being athletes of category RX, intermediate or scaled who sought the Physiotherapy service before, during or after the tests. The data were obtained through a questionnaire developed for the scientific investigation. The statistical analysis was performed through the association between the variables through the Pearson Chi-Square test with the Monte Carlo correction factor and the results confronted with the national and international literature on the current issue in question. It was observed that the mean age of the individuals was 30.63 ± 6.97 years, with a practice time of 15.56 ± 0.95 months, being the male and the scaled category prevalent. 34.4% of the participants sought the Physiotherapy service after finishing all the competitions. The body location with the presence of painful symptoms was: quadriceps (25.8%), followed by lumbar (13.1%) and shoulder (11.9%), with 42.6% of respondents reporting fatigue, followed by joint pain (30.8%). The majority had myofascial release preference, and 25.6% did not have any type of treatment before the competitions because they did not present symptoms, and those who had follow-up most often had electrothermo-photometric therapy (39%). It is noteworthy that most of the participants reported more acute and mild symptoms, most of them being posttest fatigue. It is important to involve the physiotherapist continuously in order to prevent, treat the acute phase and decrease the levels of injuries. This study provided data on the major sites and symptoms reported by CrossFit® athletes during a competition, as well as the major categories that need better approach and attention.

Theoretical framework: Anxiety, depression and stress are common in patients during hospitalisation, thus their assessment is still important in different health care settings. Objectives: To identify the levels of anxiety, depression and stress in preoperative surgical patients and analyse their correlation with some socio-demographic and clinical variables. Methodology: A descriptive correlational study was conducted in a sample of 100 patients, the day prior to surgery, using a questionnaire for socio-demographic characterisation and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21. Results: The sample consisted mostly of married women, with a mean age of 48.41 years. Participants showed low levels of preoperative anxiety, depression and stress. There were significant differences in the three emotional states according to clinical diagnosis, in depression levels according to academic qualifications and length of hospital stay, and in stress levels according to the type of surgery. Conclusion: Results showed that nurses need to be more proactive in assessing and intervening in the emotional states. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Theoretical framework: Urgent and emergency services have represented the main gateway into the health system, leading to unit overcrowding. Rearranging these services has become paramount for establishing criteria so that patients do not suffer further harm due to waiting times. Aim: To characterize the population under analysis using the Manchester Triage System in the emergency service of a hospital from one city in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study using a sample of 500 medical records of systematically randomized patients. Results: The mean age was 43.85 years (sd=26.10), most patients were male (56.4%) and their birth place was Diamantina (87.4%). Of the 34 flowcharts used, the most common were unwell adult, abdominal pain, chest pain, sore throat, wounds and vomiting, corresponding to 44% of the ratings. 50.8% of the patients were classified as green or blue. Conclusion: The unit is used as a gateway into the health service and the most relevant complaints for which people seek assistance could be solved at primary health care level.

To assess the role of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in the differentiation between malignant and benign musculoskeletal tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-five patients with musculoskeletal tumors (27 malignant and 28 benign) were studied. The examinations were performed in a 1.5 T magnetic resonance scanner with standard protocol, and single voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy with 135 msec echo time. The dynamic contrast study was performed using T1-weighted gradient-echo sequence after intravenous gadolinium injection. Timesignal intensity curves and slope values were calculated. The statistical analysis was performed with the Levene's test, followed by a Student's t-test, besides the Pearson's chi-squared and Fischer's exact tests. RESULTS: Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were, respectively, 87.5%, 92.3% and 90.9% (p < 0.0001). Statistically significant difference was observed in the slope (%/min) between benign (mean, 27.5%/min) and malignant (mean, 110.9%/min) lesions (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: The time-intensity curve and slope values using dynamic-enhanced perfusion magnetic resonance imaging in association with the presence of choline peak demonstrated by single voxel magnetic resonance spectroscopy study are useful in the differentiation between malignant and benign musculoskeletal tumors.
