Objective: Bibliographically analyze the challenges, importance and difficulties of adherence to treatment in individuals with celiac disease. Bibliographic review: Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disease due to intolerance to gluten, which makes it difficult for the body to absorb nutrients and water. CD has a prevalence of up to 1% of the world's population, of which approximately 300,000 Brazilians are carriers. The pathophysiology of CD occurs by an inflammatory activation that occurs mainly by immunological processes mediated by T cells, damaging the microvilli and leaving the intestine with a smooth appearance. Due to the inflammatory process, the classic picture of malabsorption generates symptoms that include diarrhea, steatorrhea and lack of appetite, as well as extra intestinal manifestations that include dermatitis, malnutrition, pubertal delay and others. Currently, it is understood that there are not many treatment options for CD, since the gluten-free diet is the only one that is effective for these patients. Therefore, adherence to such therapy is not so simple, since there are a number of social and economic difficulties that hinder this process. Final considerations: Although CD has a simple therapeutic option, it involves several intercurrences which impair adherence to treatment and can cause consequences for celiac patients. That said, promoting access to information about CD is important not only for celiac patients, but also for the general population in order to facilitate better and simplified access to gluten-free products.
Em primeira análise, é válido ressaltar que o osteossarcoma é uma patologia cancerígena, caracterizada pela dor progressiva dos ossos e por vezes das partes moles, podendo resultar em fraturas ósseas. Tal moléstia, não tem especificidade de grupos de pessoas para ocorrência, mas prevalece em homens, sendo raro o desenvolvimento de sintomas sistêmicos. A biópsia é o principal exame para confirmação diagnóstica, com auxílio de exames de imagem. O tratamento é baseado em quimioterapia, e a intervenção cirúrgica para retirada do tumor também é uma opção, a depender do caso. Outrossim, por vezes, está indicada a amputação do membro acometido, avaliando-se a gravidade da situação. O esclarecimento do quadro clínico para a família, bem como para o paciente são primordiais, devendo-se enfatizar a importância do acompanhamento psicológico. Diante disso, existem casos de osteossarcomas metastáticos, em que a terapia baseia-se apenas em cuidados paliativos, para alívio dos sintomas, oferecendo dignidade no enfrentamento do processo de saúde-doença e assim, proporcionando ao enfermo a melhor qualidade de vida possível até o fim de seus dias e dando suporte a família no momento do luto.
