Objetivo: Analisar e verificar a efetividade do tratamento não farmacológico na abordagem inicial da DRGE. Método: Este trabalho será realizado no ambulatório de gastroenterologia do Hospital da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Vitória (HSCMV), serão selecionados pacientes diagnosticados com DRGE em abordagem inicial não farmacológica para a doença. Será observado após um período de um mês, o resultado dessa intervenção, de modo que, possa ser analisado e correlacionado o grau de dedicação do paciente com o resultado obtido com a terapia não farmacológica e a necessidade de utilizar Inibidores da Bomba de Prótons (IBP) para episódios sintomáticos da DRGE. Resultado: É esperado uma melhora nos sintomas da DRGE nos pacientes em fase inicial do tratamento, realizando apenas mudanças no estilo de vida do paciente, sem que haja a necessidade da terapia farmacológica com IBP. Conclusão: Pacientes que realizam todas as mudanças no estilo de vida tendem a utilizar menos inibidor de bomba de prótons. No entanto, novos trabalhos precisam ser realizados para confirmar tais achados.

Purpose: To evaluate macro/microscopic viability of the upper pole (UP) in rats after 80 days of subtotal splenectomy preserving the upper pole (SSPUP). Methods: Twenty-five male Wistar rats were submitted to SSPUP. After 80 days, the rats were euthanized, and the remaining UP was evaluated macroscopically regarding appearance, color, consistency, length, width, thickness, and presence of fibrosis/necrosis; and microscopically regarding presence of red and white pulp, fibrosis/necrosis. Results: Two rats died during surgery and were removed from the statistical analysis. There was statistically significant increase in length and width between the pre and postoperative in the experimental group, with no significant difference in thickness. In the manipulation group, the macroscopic appearance of the spleen was normal in pre and postoperative, with viability preserved. In the experimental group, two UP of the spleen were not found during the second surgery. Macroscopically, it was observed absence of fibrosis and necrosis in all cases. Microscopically, the white and red pulp were intact in both groups. Two spleens of rats in the manipulation group presented areas with fibrosis and necrosis focus, which were not enough to be considered inviable. Conclusions: The UP of the spleen remained viable in 91.3% of the cases.
