- INTENSITY, DURATION AND TYPE OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY REQUIRED TO IMPROVE FUNCTION IN KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS(2017) KIRIHARA, Ricardo Akihiro; CATELAN, Fellipe Bravim; FARIAS, Fabiane Elize Sabino de; SILVA, Cleidneia Aparecida Clemente da; CERNIGOY, Claudia Helena de Azevedo; REZENDE, Marcia Uchoa deObjective: To evaluate the effects of physical activity intensity, type and duration in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Methods: A retrospective study of 195 KOA patients who were followed for two years after receiving educational material about KOA with or without attending classes. The patients were evaluated at baseline and 24 months. At the evaluations, the patients answered questionnaires pertaining to pain and function (WOMAC, Lequesne, VAS and SF-36); reported the intensity, duration and type of exercise performed per week; and performed the Timed Up & Go (TUG) and Five Times Sit-to-Stand (FTSST) tests. Results: Increased age affected improvements in the TUG results (p=0.017). The type, intensity and duration of physical activity did not correlate with pain, function or quality of life improvements (p>0.05), but the TUG results were on average 4 seconds faster among the patients who practiced intense physical activity and/or exercised for more than 180 minutes per week and/or performed isolated weight training or swam compared with those who remained sedentary after 2 years (p=0.01; p<0.001; p=0.01; p=0.04, respectively). Conclusions: Patients with KOA should aim for intense physical activity and/or more than 180 minutes of exercise per week and/or weight training (bodybuilding) for relevant pain reduction and functional improvement.
conferenceObject EXPRESSION PROFILE OF CD105 IN PATIENTS WITH BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA (BPH): A NEW ANGIOGENIC MARKER(2013) BIOLO, Karlo; KIRIHARA, Ricardo; REIS, Sabrina T.; VIANA, Nayara I.; SAJOVIC, Paulo; ARAUJO, Luiz Henrique; LEITE, Katia R.; SROUGI, Miguel; ANTUNES, Alberto A.- Social profile and cost analysis of deep infection following total hip replacement surgery(2017) FRAZÃO, Vera Lucia; MIYAHARA, Helder de Souza; KIRIHARA, Ricardo Akihiro; LIMA, Ana Lucia Lei Munhoz; CROCI, Alberto Tesconi; VICENTE, José Ricardo NegreirosABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To characterize the socio-economic and demographic profile of patients undergoing surgery for revision total hip arthroplasty regarding the diagnosis of deep prosthetic infection. METHODS: Twenty patients were retrospectively studied, admitted in the period between 2009 and 2010 by the Hip Surgery Group with the diagnosis of deep prosthetic infection, whose proposed treatment was surgical. This study was carried out in the presence of the patient by completing two forms applied by the social worker of the Group. RESULTS: In a 20-patient sample, 40% were male, 45% were working age, 50% of patients originated from the capital, 85% depended on benefits, 70% were retired, 60% of patients were from this hospital, and 40% were from other services. The average cost of patients to the public system was R$ 55,821.62 per patient and the total spent on treatment of patients in the study exceeded one million Brazilian reals, totalling R$ 1,116,432.40. CONCLUSION: Infection from total hip arthroplasty generates a major expense to the social security system and to the public healthcare system. Physicians must always be alert to the possible risk factors and perioperative care, striving to minimize this complication.
