BackgroundPancreatic cancer has a high mortality rate due to late diagnosis and aggressive behavior. The prognosis is poor, with 5-year survival occurring in less than 5% of cases.AimTo analyze demographic characteristics, comorbidities, type of procedure and early postoperative complications of patients with pancreatic cancer submitted to surgical treatment.MethodsCross-sectional study with analysis of 28 medical records of patients with malignant tumors of the pancreas in a 62 month. Data collection was performed from the medical records of the hospital.ResultsOf the total, 53,6% were male and the mean age was 60.25 years. According to the procedure, 53,6% was submitted to duodenopancreactectomy the remainder to biliodigestive derivation or distal pancreatectomy. The ductal adenocarcinoma occurred in 82,1% and 92,9% of tumors were located in the pancreatic head. Early postoperative complications occurred in 64,3% of cases and the most prevalent was intra-abdominal abscess (32,1%). Among duodenopancreactectomies 77,8% had early postoperative complications.ConclusionIts necessary to encourage early detection of tumors of the pancreas to raise the number operations with curative intent. Refinements in surgical techniques and surgical teams can diminish postoperative complications and, so, operative morbimortality can also decrease over time.
Data de entrada do artigo: 26/05/2013 Data de aceite do artigo: 08/05/2014 resumo O estudo de corte transversal objetivou investigar o comportamento impulsivo de estudantes universitários de uma universidade do sul do Brasil. A amostra foi constituída por 129 estudantes dos cursos de Direito e Engenharia Civil, sendo 49,6% do sexo masculino e 50,4% do sexo feminino. Optou-se por um questionário autoaplicável composto por três partes: a) identificação pessoal; b) situação socioeconômica; e c) escala de impulsividade de Barratt 11. A análise dos dados foi feita por meio da estatística descritiva (frequência simples, percentual, média e desvio padrão) e inferencial pelo teste do qui-quadrado para comparação entre os resultados. A maioria dos estudantes está nas fases iniciais dos cursos (69,8%), sendo que 57,4% cursam Engenharia Civil enquanto 42,6% Direito, e pertencem aos estratos econômicos A e B (88,3%). Quanto ao índice de impulsividade, verificou-se que a maior parte dos participantes está dentro dos limites normais (69%). Na comparação entre o comportamento impulsivo e as variáveis sociodemográficas não houve diferença estatística significativa.
