Item Ocorrência da infecção por Trichomonas vaginalis em mulheres HIV positivas e negativas atendidas em hospitais de referência em Goiânia, Goiás, Brasil.(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2008-12-17) LEMOS, Patrícia Abreu Pinheiro de; GARCÍA-ZAPATA, Marco Túlio Antonio; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3672512339058369This study evaluated the frequency of Trichomonas vaginalis infection in human immunodeficiency virus positive (HIV+) and negative (HIV-) women in Goiania, Goiás, Brazil, comparing the presence of the parasite in the two groups and correlating it with the conditions of immunodeficiency present in these women. The diagnostic techniques used, wet mount microscopy, culture and cytology, were also evaluated, and the principal inflammatory alterations in the two groups were assessed. The HIV+ samples (test group) were collected at the Hospital of Tropical Diseases and in the Maternal and Child Healthcare Hospital, whereas the HIVnegative samples (control group) were collected at the Maternity Hospital. Swabs were used for wet mount microscopy (saline solution) and for culture (Diamond s medium), and Ayre s spatula and brush were used for the cytology smears, which were fixed using a commercial fixative. A total of 237 samples were analyzed, 125 HIV-positive test samples and 112 HIV-negative controls. The overall frequency of T. vaginalis was 13.9%, 18.4% in the HIV+ and 8.9% in the HIV- group. This difference was statistically significant (p<0.05); however, the infection was not associated with immunodeficiency according to CD4, viral count and lymphocytes. There was a significant difference in the prevalence of the parasite between HIV+ and HIVpregnant women (22.6% versus 12.5%). Culture identified a frequency of T. vaginalis of 13.9%, while cytology identified a rate of 13.5% and wet mount microscopy 11.4%. Perinuclear halos were the most frequent inflammatory alteration; however, there was no difference between the groupsItem Compulsão alimentar periódica em mulheres com obesidade grave: prevalência e fatores associados(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2013-03-27) Melo , Paulla Guimarães; Peixoto , Maria do Rosário Gondim; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6813295858384008; Silveira , Erika Aparecida da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3801865783333828Introduction: The binge eating (BE) is a prevalent disorder in obese women, with a negative impact on weight loss. Objective: To investigate the prevalence of BE and assess factors associated with severe obese women. Methods: Cross-sectional study with adult women (20-59 years), body mass index (BMI) ≥ 35 kg/m2, who sought treatment for weight loss in Outpatient Nutrition Obesity Grave (ANOG/ HC/ UFG) from February 2008 to June 2012. The variables studied were: sociodemographic (age, marital status, years of education and family income), health conditions (co-morbidities and current medications for weight loss); history of obesity (onset of obesity, obesity in the family and previous treatment for weight loss), lifestyle (physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption), feeding behavior (number of meals per day habit of pinching, CAP) and anthropometric data (weight, height and BMI). The outcome variable was the presence of BE, determined by applying the Binge Eating Scale. Described themselves frequencies, prevalences and prevalence ratios, considering confidence intervals of 95%. To analyze the association was used Chi-square or Fisher. For values of p <0.20 in the bivariate analysis performed multivariate analysis using Poisson Regression. Considered a significance level of 5%. Results: We analyzed 94 women with a mean age of 37.7 years and mean BMI of 47.4 kg/m². A prevalence of 53.2% in BE, with 28.7% classified as moderate BE and 24.5% as severe BE. Statistically significant associations were observed for age 40-49 years, who presented a 2 times more (p = 0.011) prevalence of BE in relation to the age group of 30 to 39 years and have a habit of snacking which showed 1.9 times higher (p = 0.003) prevalence of BE. Conclusion: Given the high prevalence of BE observed and associated factors, we emphasize the importance of diagnosis and monitoring of BE in severe obese by the multidisciplinary team in order to assist in the effectiveness of dietary treatment.
