Objetivo: analisar as intercorrências durante a sessão de hemodiálise em um hospital público de referência. Materiais e métodos: estudo descritivo, quantitativo e retrospectivo realizado a partir da coleta de informações em 63 prontuários de pacientes admitidos no setor de hemodiálise de um hospital público de referência no município de Santarém, Pará, Brasil, de agosto de 2008 a dezembro de 2017, em que foram observadas as intercorrências durante o seu primeiro ano de tratamento. Os dados foram analisados por estatística descritiva e inferencial (Quiquadrado, p < 0,05) com apoio do programa BioEstat 5.3. Resultados: o sexo masculino predominou (52,4 %) com faixa etária de 60 ou mais anos (33,4 %) e a idade média foi de 53,4 ± 14,1 anos. Quanto às intercorrências, foram notificados 45 tipos, dos quais a hipotensão (12 %), a cefaleia (9,5 %), o mal-estar (8,4 %), a hipertensão (8,2 %), a hipoglicemia (6,4 %) e câimbras (5,9 %) foram as mais frequentes. As doenças de base mais evidenciadas foram o diabetes mellitus e a hipertensão arterial, enquanto a anemia predominou nas comorbidades. Conclusões: as principais intercorrências encontradas foram a hipotensão, a cefaleia e o mal-estar, não havendo associação estatística entrea quantidade de intercorrências e a idade, o sexo, a doença de base e a presença de anemia.

Objective: To analyze the association between social isolation (SI), physical activity level (PAL) and sedentary behavior in the university community in pandemic times. Methods: A cross-sectional epidemiological study was carried out from May 7 to June 4, 2020, with 194 participants linked to the Federal University of Jataí (Universidade Federal de Jataí – UFJ), in Goiás, Brazil. Data were collected using a form created on Google Forms® and sent to the email addresses of the academic community of UFJ to assess socioeconomic characteristics, lifestyle, body composition, physical activity level, and sedentary behavior, taking into account the periods prior to and during SI. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, with p

Background: Handgrip strength (HGS) is an important health indicator that can be influenced by body composition and biochemical markers of people living with HIV, contributing to better understanding of health-related outcomes. Objective: To analyze the relationship between HGS and health indicators in people living with HIV. Methods: Cross-sectional study, with 207 people living with HIV, attending a reference center, located in Santarém, Pará, Brazil. Data collection covered sociodemographic, clinical, laboratory, physical activity level, body composition, and HGS information. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, adopting p < .05. Results: There was a predominance of men (60%), aged 33–47 years (42%). A relationship was observed between adequate HGS and the male sex ( p < .001), and adequate values for body mass index ( p = .003), abdominal circumference ( p < .001), and total cholesterol ( p = .012). In addition, higher values of fat mass ( p < .001), and lower lean mass ( p = .006) were observed for people living with HIV with low HGS. Conclusion: People living with HIV present an association between lean body mass and high HGS. On the other hand, low HGS favored obesity and hypercholesterolemia. Thus, monitoring HGS is an important indicator of body, laboratory, and functional capacity changes, with HGS being an additional element in the clinical evaluation.
