article Homicide occurrence in different regions of the city of São Paulo and its risk rate according to male gender between 2000 and 2014: an analysis of 11.981 cases(2021) BOUCAULT TRANCHITELLA, Fabio; FERREIRA NOVO, Neil; RIBEIRO, Ana Paula; JULIANO, Yára; RODRIGUES, Cintia Leci; COLOMBO-SOUZA, PatríciaAbstract Introduction : Homicides are important causes of mortality in the world, especially in Brazil, which represents approximately two thirds of deaths from external causes and the third place among the causes of death in the country. Methods: Retrospective study on the occurrence of causes of violent deaths occurring in different regions of the city of São Paulo from 2000 to 2014 according to the Mortality Information System of the Municipal Health Secretariat. The standardized coefficient (CP) for the occurrence of homicides and risk rates according to population and male gender were calculated. Results: The PC showed that the south and east regions had increased homicide occurrence between 2000 and 2005 when compared to the years 2010 and 2014. Considering the sum of the PC over the 15 years can be observed the highest occurrence of homicide. in the southern and eastern regions of São Paulo, however, with a reduction in occurrence between 2010 and 2014. Regarding the relative risk rate for homicide, the northern region presented higher rates between 2000 and 2005. When considering gender male population, the western region showed an increase in the risk rate between 2000 and 2005. For 2010, the risk rate remained higher for the northern (1.14) and eastern (1.15) regions, while for the male gender. For men, the risk rate (0.91) remained high for the southern region. In 2014 the highest risk rate (1.18) moved to the western region while for males the highest risk rate was directed to the central region (0.92). Conclusions: High homicide rates have remained in the southern and eastern regions of the city of São Paulo over the past 15 years. The risk rate differs between the regions of the city of São Paulo, highlighting the northern region between 2000, 2005 and 2010 and the western region in 2014. The male gender influences the risk rates between the regions, especially the western region between 2000 and 2005, the southern region in 2010 and the central region in 2014, showing their influence on homicide.- Can physical activity levels and relationships with energy expenditure change the clinical aspects of sarcopenia and perceptions of falls among elderly women? Observational cross-sectional study(2021) KEMP, Vitorio Luis; PIBER, Leonardo de Souza; RIBEIRO, Ana PaulaBACKGROUND: Physical activity (PA) is an effective strategy for managing sarcopenia in the elderly, but few studies have addressed PA levels regarding age-related changes. OBJECTIVE: To ascertain the effects of elderly women's PA levels on sarcopenia, physical performance, handgrip strength and perception of the risk of falling, and their relationship with energy expenditure. DESIGN AND SETTING: Observational cross-sectional study conducted in the southern region of the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil. METHODS: Forty-seven elderly women were evaluated and divided into three groups: low PA (n = 13); moderate PA (n = 16); and high PA (n = 18). Their PA levels were investigated through the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ); sarcopenia index, through dual-energy radiological absorptiometry; physical performance through the Timed Up & Go test; handgrip strength, using a digital dynamometer; and perception of the risk of falling, through the Fall Risk Awareness Questionnaire. RESULTS: High PA level indicated higher skeletal muscle mass index, physical performance and IPAQ score, compared with low and moderate PA levels. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that higher IPAQ energy expenditure at high and moderate PA levels was a good predictor of higher physical performance and increased perception of the risk of falling. CONCLUSION: Elderly women classified as having high PA level showed improvements in sarcopenia, handgrip strength, physical performance and perception of the risk of falling. The IPAQ energy expenditure of the elderly women with high and moderate PA levels was a good predictor of physical performance and improved perception of the risk of falling.
- The effect of direct vertebral rotation on the spine parameters (coronal and sagittal) in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis(2021) BARSOTTI, Carlos Eduardo Goncales; JUNIOR, Carlos Augusto Belchior B.; ANDRADE, Rodrigo Mantelatto; TORINI, Alexandre Penna; RIBEIRO, Ana PaulaBACKGROUND: Idiopathic scoliosis is accompanied by postural alterations, instability of gait, and functional disabilities. The objective was to verify radiographic parameters (coronal and sagittal) of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) pre- and post-surgery with direct vertebral rotation (DVR), associated with type 1 osteotomies in all segments (except the most proximal) and type 2 in the periapical vertebrae of the curves. METHODS: A prospective study design was employed in which 41 AIS were evaluated and compared pre- and post-surgery. Scoliosis was confirmed by a spine X-ray exam (Cobb angle). Eight radiographic parameters were measured: Cobb angles (thoracic proximal and distal), segmental kyphosis, total kyphosis, lumbar lordosis, pelvic incidence, sacral slope, and pelvic tilt. RESULTS: The Cobb angle averaged 51.3 degrees +/- 14.9 degrees. Post-surgery, there were significant reductions for the following spine measurement parameters: Cobb angle thoracic proximal (p = 0.003); Cobb angle thoracic distal (p = 0.001); Cobb angle lumbar (p = 0.001); kyphosis (T5-T12, p = 0.012); and kyphosis (T1-T12, p = 0.002). These reductions showed the effectiveness of surgical correction to reduce Cobb angles and improve thoracic kyphosis. The values obtained for lumbar lordosis, pelvic incidence, sacral slope, and pelvic tilt were not significantly different pre- and post-surgery. CONCLUSION: The surgical technique of DVR in AIS proved to be effective in the coronal and sagittal parameters directed at Cobb angles and thoracic kyphosis in order to favor the rehabilitation process.
- L5 Radiculopathy After Formal Reduction of High-Grade SDSG Type 5 and 6 L5-S1 Isthmic Spondylolisthesis with 2-Year Follow-Up(2021) BARSOTTI, Carlos Eduardo Goncalves; LIRA, Rejelos Charles Aguiar; ANDRADE, Rodrigo Mantelatto; TORINI, Alexandre Penna; RIBEIRO, Ana PaulaBackground: Surgery is the main treatment for patients with high-grade L5-S1 isthmic spondylolisthesis, which can result in neurologic complications, but little is known about its clinical course. The present study evaluated the presence of L5 radiculopathy in high-grade L5-S1 spondylolisthesis in adults in pre- and postoperative periods and after a 2-year follow-up. Methods: A series of 16 patients who underwent reduction and instrumented fusion for high-grade 5 and 6 spondylolisthesis between 2018 and 2019 were retrospectively evaluated in the pre- and postoperative periods as well as after 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 and 2 years of follow-up. Clinical and surgical data on possible neurological complications of L5 radiculopathy were prospectively collected. Results: The age was 20.1 +/- 12.0 years, and preoperative L5-S1 slip was 89.0%. Five patients presented motor deficit in the preoperative period. In the immediate postoperative period, 9 patients (56%) experienced motor deficits or worsening of the preoperative condition. At the 6-week follow-up, only 1 patient showed resolution of the motor deficit. Three patients presented healed motor deficits after 3 months, and 1 patient demonstrated a healed L5 motor radiculopathy after 6 months. At the 1-year follow-up, only 1 patient exhibited an L5 radiculopathy motor deficit, and at the 2-year follow-up, none of the patients exhibited an L5 radiculopathy motor deficit. Conclusion: L5 radiculopathy was frequent in the preoperative period and increased after reduction and instrumented fusion of high-grade L5-S1 spondylolisthesis in the postoperative period and in the 6-week follow-up. Three and 6 months after the surgery, there were consecutive motor improvements. After 2 years of follow-up, no patients showed neurological deficit of L5 radiculopathy.
