METODOS: estudo qualitativo com grupos focais. As entrevistas foram coordenadas por um moderador/entrevistador e audiogravadas por um relator/observador no Ambulatorio de Uroginecologia, Cirurgia Ginecologica e Reconstrutiva Pelvica do HCFMRP-USP. A analise foi feita com um processador qualitativo (Atlas TI v 6.2). A tecnica empregada foi a analise de conteudo. O referencial teorico empregado foi a Teoria das Atividades. RESULTADOS: a mulher com leiomioma uterino opta (ou nao) por operar (histerectomia) nao somente por influencia do medico assistente, mas principalmente por fatores motivacionais. Estes foram considerados artefatos de mediacao: o(des) conhecimento sobre a evolucao da doenca, a influencia (positiva ou negativa) da familia e/ou terceiros, as crencas pessoais e o quadro clinico. Porem, isso nao foi encontrado nas mulheres que apresentavam crencas sobre uma alteracao sexual e fisica apos a cirurgia. CONCLUSAO: a mulher portadora de leiomioma uterino deve receber do profissional de saude que a assiste informacoes para um conhecimento adequado sobre a evolucao clinica do leiomioma e sobre todos os tipos de tratamento, seus beneficios e riscos, para que assim possa participar junto ao medico do processo de decisao.

Este período permite que ações preventivas sejam eficientes e alterem o quadro da doença, através da detecção precoce e tratamento das lesões cervicais precursoras. O teste de Papanicolaou vem sendo usado como método de rastreamento populacional para detecção precoce dessas lesões. Contudo, apresenta alta taxa de resultados falsonegativos, os quais são atribuídos principalmente a erros de coleta, escrutínio e interpretação dos resultados. Entre as formas mais comumente usadas como controle de qualidade está a revisão aleatória de 10% dos casos examinados na rotina. Esta revisão é recomendada pelo Ministério da Saúde no Brasil. Porém não tem demonstrado ser eficiente para reduzir os índices de falso-negativos, uma vez que 90% das amostras não passam pelo controle de qualidade. A revisão rápida de 100% das amostras a partir de parâmetros preestabelecidos tem sido descrito por vários autores como um método mais eficiente no controle de qualidade. OBJETIVO: analisar a eficácia do método de revisão rápida de 100% dos testes de Papanicolaou convencionais negativos como método de controle interno da qualidade. MÉTODO: foram avaliadas 2481 amostras citológicas convencionais consideradas negativas do ano de 2008 no Setor de Citopatologia do Departamento de Patologia da UNIFESP. Todos os casos foram revistos pelo método turret de revisão rápida. Os esfregaços identificados como suspeitos foram revistos minuciosamente por dois observadores, sendo que depois de estabelecidos os resultados de cada um, houve uma reunião de consenso para um resultado final. RESULTADOS: dos 2481 casos revistos pela revisão rápida, 279 foram separados para revisão detalhada. Destes, 227 (81,4%) foram considerados negativos, 19 (6,8%) foram considerados ASC-US, 5 (1,8%) ASC-H, 26 (9,3%) LSIL e 2 (0,7%) Insatisfatórios. CONCLUSÃO: estes resultados mostram que a revisão rápida de 100% dos testes de Papanicolaou negativos é um método eficaz como controle interno da qualidade.

METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted on a convenience sample of 25 women with vaginal agenesis undergoing surgical or conservative treatment at an Infant-Pubertal Gynecology Outpatient Clinic. Data were obtained from the medical records. Fifteen women underwent the surgical McIndoe-Bannister modified technique Surgical Group, and 10 women underwent the non-surgical Frank technique Frank Group. The following parameters were considered for comparative analysis between the two samples: vaginometry, surgical and non-surgical complications, and sexual satisfaction after treatment. Sexual satisfaction was assessed by a simple question: How is your sex life? RESULTS: There were differences related to vaginal length before and after performing exercises in both Frank Group (initial vaginal length 2.4±2.0 cm versus 6.9±1.1 cm after treatment, p<0.0001) and Surgical Group (initial vaginal length 0.9±1.4 cm versus 8.0±0.8 cm after treatment, p<0.0001). Increased vaginal length was observed in Surgical Group compared to Frank Group (Frank Group=7.0±0.9 cm versus Surgical Group=8.0±0.8 cm, p=0.0005). Forty percent of Surgical Group women had surgical complications versus no complications with the Frank technique. All women reported to be satisfied with their sexual life. CONCLUSION: The present data indicate that both the surgical and Frank techniques are effective for the treatment of vaginal agenesis, resulting in the construction of a vagina that pewrmits sexual intercourse and sexual satisfaction. The favorable aspects of the Frank technique are related to its low cost and to the low rates of major complications.","PeriodicalId":47257,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Ginecologia e Obstetricia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2012-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67234951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

METHODS: A two-stage epidemiological, cross-sectional study was performed with stratified sampling, proportional to number of births. In the first stage, the information recorded on the prenatal care card in the school-service was compared to that recorded in units not linked to higher health education in Recife (PE). In the second stage, the information about prenatal care was collected with a semi-structured questionnaire applied to women during the puerperal period. A total of 262 puerperae older than 19 years, who had a prenatal care card at the time of delivery were included in the study from May to July 2008. Data were analyzed statistically by the χ2 test, Student´s t-test or Mann-Whitney test, all one-sided to the right, with the level of significance set at 5%. RESULTS: The information more often recorded on the prenatal care card in the school-service was: schooling (86.5 versus 70.3%; p=0.002), marital status, (83.7 versus 70.9%; p=0.01), weight prior to pregnancy (72.1 versus 46.8%; p<0.001), height (62.5 versus 45.6%; p=0.007), and educational practices (76.9 versus 11.4%; p<0.001) and, at other services, only birth weight <2,500 g (15.4 versus 27.2% at the school-service; p=0.02). There were significant discrepancies between data obtained by verbal information and the prenatal care records of the pregnant women. At the school-service, 40.3% of pregnant women received adequate prenatal care versus 20.3% at other units. CONCLUSIONS: In all services, there was a predominance of recorded information directly related to delivery, while information about actions with preventive characteristics during prenatal care was neglected.","PeriodicalId":47257,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Ginecologia e Obstetricia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2012-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67234928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

METHODS: Unidentified sealed envelopes containing the questionnaires were sent to all professionals (n=149) working in the Obstetrics Department of a university hospital and public hospital at the periphery of Sao Paulo (SP), Brazil. A total of 119 professionals responded to the questionnaire. The 0.05 confidence interval and the Fisher exact test and χ2 test were used for data analysis. RESULTS: Of the respondents, 48.7% were physicians, 33.6% were nursing professionals and 17.6% were professionals from other fields (psychologists, nutritionists, physiotherapists, laboratory technicians and administrators). There was a significant difference (p=0.01) in the proportion of professionals who believe that abortion for non-lethal fetal malformation and due to unplanned pregnancies should be included in the Brazilian legislation. It was observed that the knowledge about the law and the description of the circumstances allowed by law on abortion was significantly different when comparing health professionals (p=0.01). When asked about the situations in which Brazilian law allows abortion, 32.7% of physicians, 97.5% of nursing professionals and 90.5% of other professionals were unaware of the law. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated the lack of of knowledge of Brazilian law among health professionals, to a lesser extent among obstetricians and a to a greater extent among nursing professionals.

METHODS: Retrospective descriptive study performed by reviewing the medical records of 48 pregnant women with maternal syphilis and fetal death outcome admitted to Hospital Geral de Nova Iguacu, Baixada Fluminense, State of Rio de Janeiro, during the period from 2005 to 2008. Birth weight >500 g and fetal death documented by Death Certificate were the inclusion criteria. The following aspects were analyzed: sociodemographic factors, reproductive history, aspects of the current pregnancy, prenatal care, Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) testing, and other gestational conditions, in addition to syphilis. The fetal deaths were classified as maternal, placental or fetal. Percentage, mean, standard deviation (SD), maximum and minimum values were reported. RESULTS: The mean maternal age was 22.7 years (SD=0.9 years), and at least 50% of the patients had low educational level. At hospital admission, 68.8% of the subjects were in the third trimester, with a mean gestational age of 29.2 weeks (SD=0.5), and more than 50% were in labor. The vast majority of fetal deaths (93%) occurred before maternal hospitalization. Among the patients who received prenatal care (54.2%), 30.8% had no VDRL test, 30.8 and 15.4% had a reactive and non-reactive result, respectively, and none had more than one prenatal VDRL test. At the time of childbirth, most of the mothers (95.8%) carried out VDRL testing. Overall, the VDRL titers varied from 1:1 to 1:512, with predominant values >1:4 (91.7%). In 23% of cases other clinical conditions related to fetal death, in addition to syphilis, were found.

METHODS: Four thousand twenty-two pregnant women were evaluated for anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG and IgM by ELISA and MEIA. Seronegative pregnant women repeated the serology in the second and third trimester of pregnancy. Neonatal screening of 27 newborns was also performed in one of the cities to detect IgM anti- Toxoplasma gondii by fluorometry. All pregnant women answered an epidemiological questionnaire to analyze the factors associated with the risk of infection by Toxoplasma gondii. For statistical analysis, the presence of IgG anti-Toxoplasma gondii was considered as the dependent variable and the variables contained in the epidemiological questionnaire as the independent ones. RESULTS: The prevalence of anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG in pregnant women was 59.8 and 60.6%. In one of the cities, the variables associated with the presence of IgG antibodies were low educational level and more than one pregnancy. There was no association with other factors studied such as consumption of raw or undercooked meat, consumption of raw vegetables, consumption of colonial salami, handling soil or sand, the presence of a home vegetable garden and cats in the household. In the other city there was no statistical association with the variables studied. No case of acute infection and no seroconversion were confirmed in either city. None of the infants evaluated were positive for toxoplasmosis.

A <20 mm cervical length was also associated with a less than 72 hour latency period (p=0.04). A <25 mm cervical length was not found to be statistically associated with a 72 hour latency period (p=0,12).

The frequencies of metabolic syndrome and of its defining criteria and the clinical and hormonal characteristics (follicle stimulating hormone, total testosterone, dehydroepiandrostenedione sulfate) were analyzed. RESULTS: The frequency of metabolic syndrome was six times higher in the obese Polycystic ovary syndrome Group than among control women with the same body mass index (Control with 10.5 versus Polycystic ovary syndrome with 67.9%, p<0.01); twice higher in the Polycystic ovary syndrome Group with body mass index ≥ 25 and <30 kg/m2 (Control with 13.2 versus Polycystic ovary syndrome with 22.7%, p<0.01), and three times higher in the Polycystic ovary syndrome Group with body mass index <25 kg/m2 (Control with 7.9 versus Polycystic ovary syndrome with 2.5%, p<0.01), compared to control women paired for the same body mass index.
