- Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures and psychoanalytical treatment: results(2014) SANTOS, Niraldo de Oliveira; BENUTE, Glaucia Rosana Guerra; SANTIAG, Alessandra; MARCHIORI, Paulo Euripedes; LUCIA, Mara Cristina Souza deBackground: the occurrence of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) is estimated to be between 2 to 33 cases in every 100,000 inhabitants. The number of patients with PNES reaches 19% of those treated as epileptics. Patients with PNES are treated as if they had intractable epilepsy, with unsatisfactory results even after medication treatment is used to its maximum. The aim of this study is to present the effects of individual psychoanalytical treatment in patients with PNES, assessing its impact in the evolution of the clinical picture and its association with sex, time of disease, social, psychological and professional harm, as well as going through with treatment. Methods: The case base was composed of 37 patients with PNES. The diagnosis was reached with video-EEG monitoring. Psychoanalytical treatment was carried out through 12 months of weekly sessions timed for around 50-minutes each, in a total of 48 individual sessions. Results: This study found a high rate of success in the treatment of PNES patients. 29.7% (n=11) of patients had cessation or cure of symptoms and 51.4% (n=19) had a decrease in the number of episodes. There is an association between cessation or decrease in the number of episodes and sex (p<0.01), religion (p<0.01) and concluding treatment (p<0.01). Conclusion: Individual psychoanalytical treatment applied to patients with PNES is considered effective and can be an essential form of assistance for the reduction or cessation of episodes.
- Abortion: a review of women's perception in relation to their partner's reactions in two Brazilians cities(2014) NONNENMACHER, Daniele; BENUTE, Glaucia Rosana Guerra; NOMURA, Roseli Mieko Yamamoto; AZEVEDO, George Dantas de; DUTRA, Elza Maria do Socorro; REBOUAS, Melina Sefora Souza; LUCI, Mara Cristina Souza de; FRANCISCO, Rossana Pulcineli VieiraObjective: to analyze women's perception in relation to their partner's reaction and behavior during the abortion process in two Brazilian capitals, associating the variables from women who suffered a spontaneous abortion with those from women who induced it. Methods: semi-structured, questionnaire-based interviews were conducted with 285 women who underwent spontaneous abortion and 31 who reported having induced it. The data were analyzed using the thematic analysis technique, and, subsequently, by the IBM SPSS Statistics Standard Edition software program. The significance level was set at p < 0.05. Results: in both capitals, the women who induced an abortion referred to the partner as the person who could not find out about the abortion (p<0.01 in Natal; p = 0.02 in Sao Paulo-SP) and, simultaneously, as the one who could have avoided it (p < 0.01 in Natal; p = 0.03 in Sao Paulo). In Natal-RN, induced abortion was associated with the partner's absence at the time pregnancy was confirmed (p = 0.02) and, in Sao Paulo-SP, with their negative reaction to news of the pregnancy (p = 0.04) and lack of participation in the abortion process (p < 0.01). Conclusion: despite having achieved independence, women still regard male participation in the abortion process as an important factor. The specifics of each capital denote the influence of the geographic and cultural dimension, indicating the need to take into account the particulars of each region in Brazil while considering a holistic approach to women's health.
- Performance of an adult Brazilian sample on the Trail Making Test and Stroop Test(2014) CAMPANHOLO, Kenia Repiso; ROMÃO, Marcos Antunes; MACHADO, Melissa de Almeida Rodrigues; SERRAO, Valéria Trunkl; COUTINHO, Denise Gonçalves Cunha; BENUTE, Gláucia Rosana Guerra; LUCIA, Mara Cristina Souza deABSTRACT Objective: The Trail Making Test (TMT) and Stroop Test (ST) are attention tests widely used in clinical practice and research. The aim of this study was to provide normative data for the adult Brazilian population and to study the influence of gender, age and education on the TMT parts A and B, and ST cards A, B and C. Methods: We recruited 1447 healthy subjects aged ≥18 years with an educational level of 0-25 years who were native speakers of Portuguese (Brazilian). The subjects were evaluated by the Matrix Reasoning and Vocabulary subtests of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III, along with the TMTA, TMTB and ST A, B and C. Results: Among the participants, mean intellectual efficiency was 103.20 (SD: 12.0), age 41.0 (SD: 16.4) years and education 11.9 (SD: 5.6) years. There were significant differences between genders on the TMTA (p=0.002), TMTB (p=0.017) and STC (p=0.024). Age showed a positive correlation with all attention tests, whereas education showed a negative correlation. Gender was not found to be significant on the multiple linear regression model, but age and education maintained their interference. Conclusion: Gender did not have the major impact on attentional tasks observed for age and education, both of which should be considered in the stratification of normative samples.
- Major depression in high-risk obstetric inpatients and outpatients(2014) JUHAS, Thiago Robles; BENUTE, Gláucia Rosana Guerra; LUCIA, Mara Cristina Souza de; FRANCISCO, Rossana Pulcineli VieiraOBJECTIVE: To evaluate and compare the presence of major depression in high-risk obstetric patients among ward and ambulatory patients. METHOD: An exploratory, descriptive, and cross-sectional study was carried out among 542 high-risk pregnant women divided into two groups: 278 were outpatients receiving ambulatory care, and 264 were ward patients. Both attended a public university hospital in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Major depressive disorder was evaluated using the Brazilian version of the Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders. The Χ2 test was used in the statistical analysis with a level of significance of 5% (p<0.05). RESULTS: Sixty women (11.0%) were diagnosed with major depression, twenty-five (9%) were outpatients and thirty-five (13%) were ward patients. There was no statistically significant difference between groups with respect to the major depression (p = 0.11). Statistically significant differences were found between outpatients and ward patients as follows: insomnia or hypersomnia (p<0.01); fatigue or loss of energy (p = 0.02); diminished concentration (p<0.01); and restlessness or psychomotor retardation (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Hospitalization may intensify some depressive symptoms. The high proportion of women with major depression demonstrates the need for access to psychosocial support during the pregnancy period, especially in pregnant women at high-risk.
