Goal: Discuss the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic for psychiatric patients already diagnosed and also later identified with obsessive-compulsive disorder, seeking to show if and when there was a worsening of their symptoms. Method: Bibliographic review developed in the months of October and November 2022. The searches were carried out through searches in the PubMed and SciELO databases. The descriptors "obsessive-compulsive disorders", "COVID-19 pandemic", "mental disorders" were used. A total of 1059 articles were found. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 16 articles were selected. Discussion: OCD is a disorder marked by obsessions and compulsions. Despite the different opinions in the literature about how such restrictions and new norms of conduct may have affected individuals with OCD, panic symptoms and even suicidal ideation were found to be a common complaint during this period among patients with psychiatric conditions with a relative worsening of its symptomatology. Final Considerations: It can be concluded, therefore, that the COVID-19 pandemic was a factor that negatively influenced those with a pre-existing diagnosis of OCD and caused the development of this pathology by a large part of the population.
Objetivo: Identificar por meio da literatura científica os impactos na qualidade de vida de pacientes adultos com Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH) com diagnóstico tardio e ausência de tratamento. Métodos: Revisão de Literatura Integrativa realizada de julho até agosto de 2022, por meio de pesquisas nas seguintes bases de dados SciELO, PubMed e Lilacs. Foram encontrados 1346 artigos e selecionados, após os critérios de inclusão, 14 estudos para compor. Resultados: Os diferentes tipos de estudo analisados apontam para o fato de que, além da avaliação clínica e escala para diagnóstico do TDAH em adultos serem direcionados, com base na sintomatologia apresentada nessa faixa etária, os impactos na qualidade de vida desses pacientes são evidentes. Assim, a importância do diagnóstico evidencia-se pela necessidade de tratamento efetivo a fim de proporcionar maior qualidade de vida a tais pacientes. Considerações finais: Faz-se necessário ampliar o campo de pesquisas a respeito do transtorno de déficit de atenção e hiperatividade em pacientes adultos, com intuito de proporcionar maior compreensão dos impactos de vida gerados pelo transtorno, especialmente nos casos de diagnóstico tardio, para possibilitar, portanto, tratamento adequado e melhora da qualidade de vida.
Introduction: Burn is an injury to organic tissues as a result of thermal trauma. The use of tilapia skin as a biological dressing, which has been shown to be a promising, innovative and effective treatment for the treatment of extensive burns. Goal: To analyze the difference in the use of tilapia skin xenograft in burn healing, as well as the risk factors and final result. Method: Bibliographic review carried out from October to November 2022, using 12 articles in the PubMed database to compose the collection. Review: It is known that the lipid composition of tilapia skin acts positively as an immunoregulator, antimicrobial and scar modulator. Appropriate management is needed, both in skin removal and in sterilization and storage. Compared to the hydrofiber solution with silver, the use of Nile tilapia skin resulted in a decrease in pain and in the number of dressing changes, at the same time providing less possibility of infection. Therefore, it results in less use of pain medication, generating better recovery for the patient and less workload for the team. The tilapia xenograft presented limitations in the treatment of extensive burns and skin fold sites, being contraindicated in these cases. Conclusion:In view of its benefits, Nile tilapia skin can benefit patients with indication and public health systems due to its low cost and high effectiveness.
