Objetivo: Caracterizar segundo a Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde (CIF), as sequelas apresentadas por pacientes após infecção pelo vírus Chikungunya (CHIKV). Metodologia: Estudo Transversal e descritivo, realizado com 34 participantes, com diagnóstico sorológico e/ou clínico de infecção pelo CHIKV. As variáveis foram coletadas por meio da Escala Visual Analógica (EVA), Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36) e Medical Research Council (MRC), e relacionadas com os domínios da CIF para então classificá-las. Os dados foram tabulados em planilha Microsoft Excel 2013 com estatística descritiva calculada pelo programa GraphPad Prism 6. Os resultados foram apresentados como média e desvio padrão ou mediana e intervalo interquartil. Resultados: Os resultados obtidos com a EVA foram caracterizados como moderada a grave deficiência, no SF-36 os domínios variaram de moderada a completa deficiência e no MRC todos os movimentos analisados corresponderam a ligeira deficiência. Conclusão: Foi possível caracterizar alterações osteomioarticulares e a funcionalidade dos pacientes infectados pelo CHIKV e classificá-los dentro do contexto da CIF, garantindo uma padronização para a descrição dos componentes relacionados à saúde desses pacientes.
Introduction: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), infertility is defined as a failure in fertilization without any use of a contraceptive method for at least 12 consecutive months, with the individual being of reproductive age and having an active sexual life, where male infertility has been assuming a prominent position.This condition is considered to beof high importance in the contemporary world. Objectives:To systematically review the literature on the impactof oral zinc supplementation on male infertility and to assess whether its intake exerts a therapeutic effect, based on the evaluation of seminal parameters, according to manuals publishedby the WHO. Methodology: A systematic review was carried out by means ofa search, in the English and Portuguese languages, for original articles in the Pubmed, Science Direct, Lilacs and Scieloscientific databases. Results: The intervention groups ranged from 18 to 77 individuals and the control groups ranged from 8 to 113 individuals. Regarding age, the average age of the participants in the studies was31 years. The daily dose of zinc administered in thetrials variedfrom 66mg to 500mg and its use time ranged from three to six months. In the end, 87.5% of the studies showed positive results on the sperm parameters evaluated after the intervention. Conclusion:The results weremainly attributed to the protective effect that the trace element provided, reducing the lipid peroxidation index of plasma membranes and improving DNA integrity, thus increasing the fertilization capacity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
