A lesão hepática traumática é prevalente e possui altas taxas de morbimortalidade. A conduta terapêutica varia de acordo com as características da lesão e com os parâmetros clínicos do paciente. As lesões hepáticas são classificadas em seis graus de gravidade, que auxiliam na decisão terapêutica. Lesões hepáticas de baixo grau (graus I, II e III) são frequentemente tratadas com sucesso por manejo não cirúrgico. Esse artigo buscou relatar o caso de um paciente do sexo masculino, 52 anos, com histórico de trauma abdominal contuso após acidente automobilístico, admitido no pronto-socorro inicialmente estável. Evoluiu após algumas horas, entretanto, com instabilidade hemodinâmica, sendo indicada laparotomia de emergência. Paciente apresentava lesão hepática grau II, que, contudo, é manejada normalmente com tratamento não operatório. O tratamento cirúrgico evoluiu com boa recuperação do paciente, que teve alta hospitalar após doze dias. É essencial, portanto, o acompanhamento rigoroso da evolução do paciente com trauma hepático a fim de optar pela melhor conduta terapêutica.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the correlation between BMI indices and serum vitamin D levels in children and adolescents. METHODS: Survey of BMI values and serum vitamin D levels of patients aged between one and 16 years, from April 2017 to November 2020, treated at a university hospital RESULTS: The statistical association between BMI classification and serum vitamin D level by Fishers exact test was p= 0,053, a value very close to the limit of significance. Thus, there was a borderline correlation between obesity and hypovitaminosis D CONCLUSIONS: The causal relationship between excess fat and low seeric vitamin D is still not well understood. It is questioned whether reduced serum vitamin D levels function as a direct or indirect cause or consequence of increased BMI. Routine screening of levels of this vitamin in patients with excess body fat is considered relevant, due to its multisystemic and multifunctional role, in addition to the important need for supplementation in patients with its deficiency.
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.
