“…São descritos efeitos prejudiciais em inúmeros órgãos devido ao consumo de cocaína em forma de crack, principalmente no trato respiratório; no aparelho cardiovascular; na função renal; no sistema nervoso central; sistema digestivo 1,2,17,18 . Desse modo, a avaliação da composição corporal pode ter um importante papel no tratamento de desintoxicação, pois pesquisas demonstram a relação entre variáveis antropométricas e/ou composição corporal com a saúde e o bem-estar global da saúde humana [19][20][21] .…”

rESUMo objetivo: Verificar a variação da fissura de dependentes de crack no decorrer da internação e a associação com perfil antropométrico. Métodos: Trata-se de uma pesquisa quantitativa com delineamento transversal (n = 30). Avaliaram-se o perfil de consumo de substâncias psicoativas; dados sociodemográficos; variáveis antropométricas (peso, estatura, índice de massa corporal, relação cintura-quadril, perímetros, dobras cutâneas e diâmetro ósseo); e fissura avaliada por meio do Cocaine Craving Questionnaire Brief. As coletas de dados ocorreram nas 24 horas iniciais e finais do tratamento. resultados: Observou-se aumento significativo do percentual de gordura e diminuição significativa da fissura. Não se evidenciou associação entre variáveis antropométricas e fissura, tanto no início como ao final da internação. Conclusão: Houve significativa diminuição na fissura e modificação na composição corporal, entretanto não houve correlação entre essas variáveis.

“…Chronic crack cocaine use can also interfere with affective bonds, relationships with family and friends, employment, and motivation to undertake projects (Dalgalarrondo, 2010). Lung problems, edema, pneumonia, bronchospasm, and alveolar hemorrhage are also commonly linked to crack cocaine use (Gazoni et al, 2006;Ramachandaran, Khan, Dadaparvar, & Sherman, 2004;Terra Filho, Yen, Santos, & Muñoz, 2004), as well as central nervous system vasculitis (Volpe, Tavares, Vargas, & Rocha, 1999).…”

-Aiming to identify the profile of outpatients seeking treatment for crack cocaine-related problems in Brasília, 132 clients receiving psychological services completed the Profile of Crack Consumption Questionnaire and the Cocaine Craving Questionnaire-Brief. Most participants were male (83.6%), single (38.8%), and housed (100%). First use was motivated predominantly by curiosity (65.9%), peer influence (58.3%), and easy access (50.8%). Most (65.2%) reported polysubstance use. The longest period of abstinence attained was four years (1.5%), and most (46.2%) reported less than 30 days of abstinence. The stereotypes of extreme social vulnerability of crack users and high lethal and addiction potential of the crack were challenged by this study. Efforts are needed to better serve those missed by the treatment system. Palavras-chave: crack, transtornos relacionados ao uso de substâncias, centros de tratamento de abuso de substâncias

“…In relation to the central nervous system, there are reports of vasculitis cases that have resulted in cerebral infarcts, extensive edema and cerebral hemorrhages. 3 In relation to the cardiovascular system, there have been reports of acute myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathies, arrhythmia, endocarditis, ruptured aneurysms, aortic dissection and venous thrombosis. [4][5][6][7][8] In relation to the peripheral vascular system, the relationship between crack and peripheral vascular disease is not yet entirely clear.…”

Background: Consumption of crack is one of the major challenges in public health and taking this drug has direct effects on the health of those who use it. Objectives: To evaluate the profile of vascular abnormalities in patients receiving treatment for crack dependency at a Psychosocial Care Center for Alcohol and Drugs and to observe possible peripheral vascular effects. Methods: The study design is observational, descriptive and cross-sectional. An objective questionnaire was administered to the patients in the sample to collect data on demographic details; drug use profile; and concomitant diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension and/or smoking; and physical and ultrasound examinations were conducted. Data were summarized and analyzed statistically with the chi-square test or Fisher' s exact test. Results: The mean age of the sample was 33.29 (±7.15) years, and 74% were male. Mean age at onset of drug use was 23.4 (±7.78) years and mean time since onset was 9.58 (±5.64) years. Mean consumption of crack rocks was 21.45 (±8.32) per day. The rate of abnormal lower limb pulses was higher among women. The prevalence of artery wall thickening in lower limbs was 94.8%. Time since starting to use crack exhibited a statistically significant association (p = 0.0096) with abnormalities in the spectral curve profiles of lower limb arteries. Conclusions: Crack users exhibit peripheral vascular disorders. Length of time since starting to use the drug had the greatest impact on this system, suggesting an association between crack use and reduced arterial flow.
