Estudo transversal realizado em hospital de referência em urgência com amostragem por conveniência cujos dados foram coletados de junho a julho de 2014. Objetivou analisar os acidentes domésticos em idosos atendidos em hospital público de urgência. Do total de 83 entrevistados, 77,1% eram mulheres, possuíam 80 a 89 anos (32,5%), analfabetos (32,5%), viúvos (44,6%), residindo com cônjuge e outros familiares (73,5%), aposentados (84,4%), recebiam um a dois salários mínimos (88%). A prevalência de acidentes domésticos foi de 6,4%, com predominância de queda (84,4%), da própria altura (55,6%). Descuido na observação do ambiente foi auto referido como principal causa (45,8%). A não associação entre a ocorrência de quedas, existência de doença crônica, medicação de uso contínuo e realização de atividade no instante do acidente foi um achado relevante. Recomenda-se cuidado multiprofissional com avaliação funcional ampla identificando as deficiências dos idosos e limitações ambientais visando orientação comunitária e planejamento de intervenções integradas.
Objective: To gather scientific literature regarding the influence of the low activity of the enzyme Monoaminoxidase A, responsible for the regulation of brain neurotransmitters, on criminal and / or violent behavior. Methods: Searches were performed in the PubMed and SCOPUS databases using “genes”, “crime” and “monoaminoxidase”, selecting articles published between 2009 and 2019. Results: The selected sample, after applying the inclusion criteria and exclusion, was composed of 14 articles. Discussion: A relationship was found between low levels of activity of Monoaminoxidase A, when associated with socio-environmental factors, with a greater tendency to commit criminal and / or violent acts. Among the socio-environmental factors, the most cited is the experience of trauma in childhood. However, there were copyright disagreements, which demonstrates the need for further investigation and development of studies on the subject. Final considerations: It was found that individuals with low Monoaminoxidase A activity and who experienced stressful socioenvironmental factors are more prone to aggressive and / or violent behavior.
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.
