“…27 Despite empirical evidence highlighting the emotional risks inherent in PC work, this has not appeared to transform practice in any meaningful way. 10 Researchers have expressed a need for directed interventions to improve psychological wellbeing and for rigorous outcome evaluation 28 It is the aim of this review to investigate the extent to which rigorously evaluated interventions exist in this area.…”

“…Uma pesquisa realizada na cidade do Texas-EUA identificou que dos 110 hospices que participaram do inquérito, a maioria (56,4%) oferecia algum tipo de terapia complementar aos seus clientes (8) . Outra investigação com 30 serviços italianos de cuidados paliativos revelou que todos praticavam pelo menos uma modalidade (9) .…”

Estudo exploratório-descritivo que foi parte de recorte de um projeto de pesquisa realizado em 2011 e 2012, teve por objetivo analisar a utilização das terapias complementares nos cuidados paliativos pelas instituições brasileiras credenciadas nas Associações Nacionais e Latino-Americana de Cuidados Paliativos. A coleta de dados, com seis representantes de serviços de saúde, se deu por meio de um formulário semiestruturado. Os dados foram analisados quantitativamente utilizando-se percentagem simples e, qualitativamente, apoiou-se na Análise de Conteúdo. Os resultados revelaram que a musicoterapia, acupuntura e massagem foram as modalidades mais utilizadas nos cuidados paliativos; as terapias complementares, aliadas ao tratamento convencional, ajudam a aliviar a ansiedade, a depressão e a dor dos pacientes, promovendo relaxamento e facilitando a relação e a interação entre profissional-paciente-família. Assim, o uso das terapias complementares nos cuidados paliativos deve ser valorizado e empregado pelos profissionais habilitados, uma vez que colabora para melhora da qualidade de vida.

Genetic factors in rotator cuff pathology: potential influence of col 5A1 polymorphism in outcomes of rotator cuff repair

et al. 2020

Background: Investigations in genetics have provided valuable information about the correlation between gene variants and tendinopathy. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of COL5A1 gene are reported to be involved in Achilles tendinopathy, chronic degenerative tendon changes at the elbow, and other tendinopathies. The influence of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of COL5A1 was previously analyzed in rotator cuff disease with confounding results. Moreover, the rs12722 polymorphism in COL5A1 gene has been implicated in the aetiology of musculoskeletal soft tissue injuries in several association studies. This study aims to analyse the possible influence of rs12722 polymorphism in COL5A1 in the outcomes of rotator cuff repair. Methods: Seventy-nine patients were included in the study. DNA was extracted from 1.2 ml of venous blood and genotyped for COL5A1 SNPs rs12722. Rotator cuff muscle strength and range of motion (ROM) in anterior elevation, external and internal rotation of the shoulder were evaluated. Results: Patients presenting COL5A1 SNP rs12722 CC showed a ROM of passive external rotation statistically significantly higher compared to patients with CT genotype and TT genotype. Conclusions: COL5A1 SNP rs12722 may influence the functional outcomes of RCRs, even though further studies are required to confirm these preliminary results.
