RESUMO

Language disorders may interfere with social integration and affectpersonal development. Beca-use the balance of the stomatognathic system can interfere with language, it is important for speech therapy and dentistry to work together, providing multidisciplinar y Healthcare. AIM: To analyze the 100 most frequently cited articles on language disorders in children and adolescents and assess the interplay with dentistry by means of a bibliometric analysis. MATERIALS AND METHOD: A search of the 100 most frequently cited articles up to December 2021 on language disorders was performed in the Web of Science Core Collection database. Four researchers extracted the data on number of citations, title, authors, country, year of publication, journals, study design, prevalent clinical conditions, and area of expertise. The analyses were performed using VOSviewer and Excel. RESULTS: The total number of citations ranged from 251 to 1,431. Four articles were cited more than 1,000 times. Bishop DVM (10 articles; 3,653 citations) and Tomblin JD (10 articles; 4,261 citations) were the most frequently cited authors. The institutions with the largest number of publications were the University of Oxford/England (11%) and the University of Kansas/USA (8%). Observational study design was the most frequent (77%). Autism spectrum disorder (18%) and dyslexia (14%) were the most broadly investigated clinical conditions. Speech-language pathology (32%) was the area of expertise with the largest number of articles, and none of the top 100 studies showed interplay with dentistry. CONCLUSION: The 100 most widely cited articles on language disorders are mostly observational, mainly address autism spectrum disorder, and are in the field of speech-language pathology No study reported interplay with dentistry.

RESUMO

A visita domiciliar puerperal consiste em uma das atividades inerentes à Estratégia de Saúde da Família e se caracteriza como um importante instrumento de intervenção no contexto familiar. A abordagem multiprofissional e interdisciplinar no contexto domiciliar tem se mostrado uma estratégia positiva, que promove a atenção integral, facilita o cuidado e o vínculo e proporciona aos profissionais conhecer a realidade em que a família está inserida. Diante do exposto, este artigo objetiva relatar a experiência de profissionais de saúde residentes em Saúde da Família e Comunidade dos núcleos profissionais de enfermagem, nutrição e odontologia em visitas puerperais. Foram realizadas doze visitas domiciliares às puérperas e aos RN no município de Iguatu-CE, durante o período de novembro de 2018 a março de 2019. Durante as visitas, foram realizadas condutas clínicas voltadas à puérpera e ao recém-nascido, além do repasse de orientações e cuidados, de forma a promover saúde e prevenir agravos. A inserção da equipe multiprofissional nas visitas puerperais foi uma experiência de grande relevância tanto para as profissionais de saúde como para os pacientes, pois possibilitou, através da educação em saúde, a ampliação do cuidado com a saúde materno-infantil, o fornecimento de orientações e, com isso, a melhoria da qualidade de saúde e de vida da população atendida com esta prática.


The postpartum home visit consists of one of the activities inherent in the Family Health Strategy and it is featured as an important intervention instrument in the family context. The multiprofessional and interdisciplinary approach in the home context has been shown to be a positive strategy that promotes integral care, facilitates care and bonding, and allows professionals to know the reality in which the family is inserted. Considering the above, this paper aims to report the experience of resident health professionals in Family and Community Health of the professional nuclei of nursing, nutrition and dentistry in puerperal visits. Twelve home visits were conducted to puerperal and newborn infants in the municipality of Iguatu-CE during the period from November 2018 to March 2019. During the visits, clinical procedures were performed for the puerperal woman and the newborn, as well as the transfer of guidelines and care, in order to promote health and prevent diseases. The inclusion of the multiprofessional team in the puerperal visits was an experience of great value for both health professionals and patients, because it enabled through health education, the expansion of maternal and child health care, the provision of guidelines and thereby improving the quality of health and life of the population assisted with this practice.

RESUMO

Este artigo teve como objetivo discutir como a Pesquisa Participativa Baseada na Comunidade vem sendo incorporada nas pesquisas brasileiras na área da saúde, quais os temas mais frequentes e quais suas intencionalidades teórico-metodológicas. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa realizada nas bases de dados LILACS e SciELO, incluindo a produção científica publicada no Brasil, entre 2018 e 2021. Os 15 artigos selecionados, com diferentes abordagens metodológicas, apresentam diversidades de temas (segurança alimentar e nutricional, bullying, arte-educação, saúde da criança, trabalho com reciclagem e em saúde, pandemia, desastres e emergências em saúde) e participantes (profissionais e gestores da saúde, estudantes, comunidade). Os estudos anunciam as diversas vertentes das pesquisas participativas (pesquisa-ação, pesquisa-intervenção, pesquisa-participante) e estratégias de acompanhamento, como os comitês de pesquisa, que podem fortalecer a inclusão dos participantes processualmente em todas as etapas da pesquisa. O uso de múltiplas ferramentas metodológicas (oficinas, grupo focal, entrevistas) e a triangulação de dados também são anunciados como estratégias para fortalecer a participação de profissionais e comunidade em um processo de pesquisar "com". A denominação de pesquisas participativas, suas origens e pressupostos não se efetiva de forma uniforme. Independentemente das denominações e escolhas metodológicas, a revisão aponta que a Pesquisa Participativa Baseada na Comunidade, nas pesquisas brasileiras na área da saúde, aparece em estudos de diversos temas, que têm em comum a intenção de romper com a dicotomia pesquisador-pesquisado, sujeito-objeto e investir em uma "política de participação", sensível às realidades e demandas sociais, com vistas à transformação social.


This paper aimed to discuss how Community Based Participatory Research has been incorporated into Brazilian health research around, the most frequent themes and their theoretical-methodological intentions.This is an integrative review carried out in LILACS and SciELO databases, including scientific production published in Brazil, between 2018 and 2021. There were fifteen selected articles, with different methodological approaches that show a diversity of themes (food and nutritional security, bullying, arteducation, child health, recycling and health work, Covid-19, and health emergencies), also it was targeted audiences them (health professionals and managers, students, and community). These studies announce the different aspects of participatory research(action research, intervention research, and participant research) which follow-up strategies, such as research committees, which can strengthen the inclusion of participants in all research ́s stages. The use of multiple methodological tools (workshops, focus groups, interviews) and data triangulation are also heralded as strategies to strengthen the participation of professionals and the community into a process of researching 'within'. The participatory research ́s title, and its origins and assumptions have not been applied uniformly. Regardless of the denominations and methodological choices, the review points out that Community-Based Participatory Research, in Brazilian research in the health area, appears in studies of various themes, which have in common the intention of breaking with the 'researcher-researched', subject-object dichotomy and invest in a 'participation policy', which could be sensitive to social realities and demands, with a view to social transformation.

RESUMO

One Health (OH) and Global Health (GH) are interconnected perspectives that may contribute to subsidizing GH policies. This scoping review aims to map the volume, nature, and characteristics of studies focused on the interface of OH and GH concepts. We used PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase, Scopus, and The Virtual Health Library (BVS) as the literature data sources for the review. The search strategy used the descriptors "one health", "one health concept", "one medicine", "global health", "international health", and "planetary health" in title and abstracts. We included original research presented as articles in scientific journals, book chapters or conference papers written in English, Spanish, or Portuguese, exploring the intersections between OH and GH concepts, not necessarily as their primary objectives, and published up to December 31, 2021. A total of 1.060 references were identified in the databases after removing duplicates, 139 publications selected for full-text evaluation and 45 publications were included for analysis. All included publications were published between 2011 and 2021, with the highest concentration in 2014 (22.2%). First authors were most frequently from the United States (35.6%), followed by the United Kingdom (15.6%). Overall, seven key themes were identified zoonosis, emerging infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, food safety, policy, human resources, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The majority of the included publications employed OH concepts based on the United States Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, and the American Veterinary Medical Association definitions. We observed a common understanding of OH as an area of knowledge involving multiple disciplines and professionals and recognizing that both humans' and animals' health and the environment are interdependent. Although most authors demonstrated that health issues transcend national boundaries, a formal definition for GH was frequently not clearly identified. OH and GH interfaces are essential for accomplishing the 2030 Agenda and its SDG.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Acupuncture is one of the most widely used therapies to treat chronic low back pain, whose analgesic effect seems to be potentiated by the addition of electric current (electroacupuncture). However, we are not aware of any clinical trial that has evaluated the effectiveness of this technique in adults > 65 years. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of electroacupuncture in the treatment of chronic low back pain in the elderly. STUDY DESIGN: Triple-blind, controlled, and randomized clinical trial. SETTING: Faculty of Medicine, University of São Paulo (USP); Sector of Biological Sciences - Physiotherapy Course, Federal University of Paraná (UFPR). METHODS: The study included 125 elderly people with chronic nonspecific low back pain who were randomized to one of 5 study groups: 3 of electroacupuncture; one control; and one placebo, all of them treated for 5 weeks. The primary endpoint was pain intensity, and secondary endpoints included the qualitative aspect of pain, functional disability (Roland-Morris and sit and stand test), emotional functioning (depression and anxiety), and psychosocial factors. Data analysis followed the intention-to-treat principle. The confidence interval was set at 95% and the significance level at 5%. RESULTS: All groups achieved a reduction in pain intensity; however, a significant difference was only detected between electroacupuncture and placebo, where the latter showed greater pain reduction. Regarding secondary outcomes, all groups showed good posttreatment results for all assessments but without statistical significance. Among the groups, the placebo was the one that obtained the best results between the pre- and post-treatment for depression, qualitative aspect of pain, and functional disability, but only for the qualitative aspect of pain and for the sit-and-stand test was a significant reduction found in the intergroup comparison. The analysis of the overall effect perceived by the participants in relation to low back pain revealed that individuals from all groups felt close to full recovery. LIMITATIONS: Absence of follow-up and a relatively small number of patients. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides evidence that there is no one frequency of electroacupuncture that is most effective in treating chronic low back pain in the elderly and that electroacupuncture is not superior to manual acupuncture or placebo treatment.
