“…2017;61/4 addition, obesity is considered an important risk factor for carpal tunnel syndrome (24). A high prevalence of activity limitation due to pain was observed in the current study, and the anatomical regions most frequently associated with limitations were the ankles/feet (46.34%), knees (43.90%) and lower back (41.46%).…”

Objective: This study was designed to identify the major musculoskeletal symptoms of individuals with obesity, to assess their health-related quality of life, and to evaluate the correlation between the musculoskeletal symptoms and the individuals' health-related quality of life. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional study. Instruments used: "Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire" and "The Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36)" . Results: In total, 41 subjects were evaluated, of which 90.15% were female. The mean age of the subjects was 40.78 ± 9.85 years and their mean body-mass index was 46.87 ± 8.08. All subjects reported musculoskeletal pain in at least one anatomical region and 80.49% had pain in three or more regions. The activity limitations due to pain were reported by 75.61% of them. The most affected regions by pain were the ankles and/or feet, lower back, knees and wrists/hands/fingers. The most associated regions with activity limitations due to pain were the ankles and/or feet, knees and lower back. The presence of pain showed a negative correlation with the domains physical functioning (PF), role-physical (RP) and body pain (BP). The activity limitations showed a negative correlation with the domains PF, BP, social functioning (SF) and role-emotional (RE). Conclusion: Our data showed a high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain and limitation in activities due to pain in obese subjects. The musculoskeletal symptoms had negative correlations with physical and mental components of the health-related quality of life, highlighting the importance of ensuring that patients with obesity have access to interdisciplinary care, for the prevention and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders.

“…110 Obesity has been shown to be an independent risk factor for carpel tunnel syndrome in a number of studies. 111,112 There is also an association between obesity and shoulder repair surgery for rotator cuff and other conditions, suggesting that increasing BMI is a risk factor for rotator cuff tendonitis and related conditions.…”

The impact of obesity on the musculoskeletal system

Obesity is associated with a range of disabling musculoskeletal conditions in adults. As the prevalence of obesity increases, the societal burden of these chronic musculosketelal conditions, in terms of disability, health-related quality of life, and health-care costs, also increases. Research exploring the nature and strength of the associations between obesity and musculoskeletal conditions is accumulating, providing a better understanding of underlying mechanisms. Weight reduction is important in ameliorating some of the manifestations of musculoskeletal disease and improving function.

-Introduction: Hepatitis virus C (HCV) infection is considered a health problem in the State of A c re localized in the Brazilian Amazon which has a prevalence rate of 5.9%. Peripheral neuropathy is a common extra-hepatic manifestation in patients with HCV. Objective: To determine the prevalence of peripheral neuropathies using clinical and neurophysiological parameters. Method: A cross sectional study was perf o rmed in patients assisted by a specialized center of infectious diseases in the State of Acre . All patients completed a clinicoepidemiological questionnaire, physical examination and nerve conduction studies (NCS). Results: We studied 78 patients with mean age 45.5 years (range from 10 to 76 years), two thirds were male, 51% had at least 8 years of formal education and 96% lived in the capital city of A c re State. Roughly 34% of patients complained about paresthesias mainly in upper limbs. The NCS diagnosed multiple mononeuropathy in 11 (14.1%; IC95% 7.6-23.2) patients and carpal tunnel syndrome in 4 (5.1%) patients. Conclusion: Subclinical involvement of peripheral nerves seems common in patients with H C V, with multiple mononeuropathy the main manifestation of nerve injury in this region as suggested by electrophysiological studies.KEY WORDS: hepatitis virus C, HCV, peripheral neuro p a t h y, nerve conduction studies, Amazon re g i o n , prevalence. N e u ropatia periférica em pacientes com infecção pelo vírus C da hepatite na região amazônica RESUMO -I n t rodução:A infecção pelo vírus da hepatite C (VHC) é considerada um problema de saúde pública no Estado do Acre com uma prevalência de 5,9%. Neuropatia periférica é uma manifestação extrahepática comum em pacientes com VHC. Objetivo: Determinar a prevalência de neuropatias periféricas através de parâmetros clínicos e neuro f i s i o l ó g i c o s . Método: Foi realizado estudo transversal em pacientes atendidos em uma clínica especializada de doenças infecciosas do Estado do Acre. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos a um questionário clínico-epidemiológico, exame físico e eletro n e u romiografia (ENMG). Resultados: Foram estudados 78 pacientes, com idade média de 45,5 anos (10 a 76), dois terços eram do sexo masculino, 51% tinha pelo menos 8 anos de educação formal e 95% moravam na capital do Estado. A p roximadamente 34% dos pacientes se queixaram de parestesias, principalmente nos membros superiores. A ENMG diagnosticou mononeuropatia múltipla em 11 (14,1%, IC95% 7,(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)2) pacientes e síndro m e do túnel do carpo em 4 (5,1%).
