Estimativa do custo de tratar o pé diabético, como prevenir e economizar recursos

In this work the cost of hospital treatment for diabetic foot wounds was estimated and the literature regarding prophylaxis for these lesions was examined. For this purpose, the records of all patients with diabetic foot symptoms submitted to surgical treatment over a period of 16 months in a public hospital were reviewed. There were 44 admissions with an average hospitalization period of 11.93 days, (± 6.34), 61 surgical procedures, with amputations in 65% of the cases. An average cost of R

192,150.40 was calculated for the hospital treatment involved. Treatment of diabetic foot symptoms had a high cost and required amputation in the majority of cases. A review of the literature revealed many possible models to be adopted for action in the prophylaxis of wounds associated with the diabetic foot, which can avoid amputations and save funds.

INSTRUMENTOS PARA AVALIAR DISCIPLINAS DA MODALIDADE SEMIPRESENCIAL: UMA PROPOSTA BASEADA EM SISTEMAS DE INDICADORES

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Recent researches about games for post-stroke rehabilitation have been increasing, focusing in upper limb, lower limb and balance situations, and showing good experiences and results. With this in mind, this paper presents Motion Rehab AVE 3D, a serious game for post-stroke rehabilitation of patients with mild stroke. The aim is offer a new technology in order to assist the traditional therapy and motivate the patient to execute his/her rehabilitation program, under health professional supervision. METHODS The game was developed with Unity game engine, supporting Kinect motion sensing input device and display devices like Smart TV 3D and Oculus Rift. It contemplates six activities considering exercises in a tridimensional space: flexion, abduction, shoulder adduction, horizontal shoulder adduction and abduction, elbow extension, wrist extension, knee flexion, and hip flexion and abduction. Motion Rehab AVE 3D also report about hits and errors to the physiotherapist evaluate the patients progress. RESULTS A pilot study with 10 healthy participants (61-75 years old) tested one of the game levels. They experienced the 3D user interface in third-person. Our initial goal was to map a basic and comfortable setup of equipment in order to adopt later. All the participants (100%) classified the interaction process as interesting and amazing for the age, presenting a good acceptance. CONCLUSIONS Our evaluation showed that the game could be used as a useful tool to motivate the patients during rehabilitation sessions. Next step is to evaluate its effectiveness for stroke patients, in order to verify if the interface and game exercises contribute into the motor rehabilitation treatment progress.

Aplicativos para Treino Cognitivo: Uma Revisão Sistemática

A avaliacao da educacao e um tema complexo e que possui grande importância nas abordagens e projetos de qualidade de instituicoes, cursos e disciplinas da educacao superior. Quando abordada no âmbito da educacao a distância (EaD), a avaliacao da qualidade da educacao adquire uma relevância e complexidade ainda maiores visto que as diferencas de espaco e tempo entre professor e aluno certamente impactam o processo de aprendizagem. O presente artigo busca contribuir com a avaliacao da qualidade da modalidade EaD por meio do desenvolvimento de uma proposta de instrumentos para avaliacao de disciplinas semipresenciais da educacao superior. Fundamentado em sistemas de indicadores e composto por questionarios de avaliacao e auto-avaliacao, o instrumento incorpora aspectos de auto-validacao ao permitir o cotejamento entre os indicadores de resultados e os aspectos de entradas e processo da disciplina e entre a avaliacao de um sujeito interessado e a auto-avaliacao de outros sujeitos envolvidos.

Quality of life and depressive symptomatology in mothers of individuals with autism

This paper aims to present the results of a systematic review focused on usability evaluation methods for serious games (SG) of mobile devices applicable to health care. The research questioned which usability evaluation methods have been available for mobile serious games. The research was conducted into four databases (ACM, IEEE, Science Direct and Springer) in two periods (23–30 March, 2015, and 01–07 June, 2016). After evaluating 2191 papers, the researchers considered that 9 met the eligibility criteria. As a result, similarities between some methodologies used have been found, however a specific methodology for SGs usability evaluation applicable to health has not been encountered.

O treino cognitivo e uma pratica que pode minimizar dificuldades de aprendizagem, de memorizacao e de atencao. Dentre as estrategias adotadas nos treinos encontra-se o uso de tecnologias, as quais potencializam a motivacao dos participantes, aumentando a adesao. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar e investigar aplicativos moveis para treino cognitivo. Trata-se de uma revisao sistematica da literatura realizada nas bases de dados IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, Springer Link, CiteSeerX, ACM DL e Google Scholar, de 04 a 11 de maio de 2016. Dos 277 estudos identificados, apenas oito atenderam aos criterios de elegibilidade. Apos analise dos trabalhos foi possivel perceber a importância do desenvolvimento de aplicacoes moveis para o treino cognitivo, pois estimulam os usuarios a exercer o treino diariamente.

O uso de um chatterbot em AIML como módulo de interface de um Sistema Tutor Inteligente para auxiliar no aprendizado sobre Epilepsia

This study aimed to investigate the Quality of Life (QOL) and the presence of the depressive symptoms in mothers of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Participants included 40 women, between 28 and 72 years old, married, with medium-low income and education levels, and with children between 10 and 40 years old. The instruments used were a social demographic and health characterization questionnaire, the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-Bref) questionnaire, the Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Hopelessness Scale (BDI-II and BHS), and the Baptista Depression Scale Adult Version (EBADEP A). The quality of life and the presence of depressive symptoms in mothers did not show significant correlation with the childs age. However, there was high and negative correlation between the quality of life and high levels of depressive symptoms and moderate correlation between environment and income. It concludes the necessity of preventive and therapeutic interventions for these mothers.
