Resumo: Despite the observed benefits of properly prescribed exercises for people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), the scarcity of studies and lack of consensus on the effects of muscle-strengthening exercises on this population has a negative impact on their rehabilitation. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of muscle-strengthening interventions in individuals with ALS. This systematic review of intervention studies included clinical trials that performed non-respiratory muscle strengthening in people with ALS compared to non-strengthening interventions, usual care, or placebo. Such studies were obtained from the MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, SPORTDiscus, and Physiotherapy Evidence Database databases, with no language or publication …

Resumo: Forecasting the progression of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) presents challenges due to the patients exhibiting different onset sites, progression rates, and survival times. Several recent studies have successfully applied machine learning to predict patient functional decline over time. However, the use of advanced techniques such as deep learning and temporal data modeling has yet to be explored in the field of ALS prognosis. In this study, we proposed a novel approach based on Autoregressive Multi-Step Multi-Output Time Series Forecasting to predict functional disability for the next 12 months, month-by-month, using patient data collected from the first three months. This study …

Resumo: Context: The OPME (Órteses, Próteses e Materias Especiais or Orthoses, Prosthetics and Special Materials) Brazilian sector presents a wide variety of products and technologies, involving both multinational and local companies in healthcare. Despite technological advances, many services and information systems, especially in the public sphere, still use unstructured natural language descriptions of products, services or events, making their classification and analysis difficult. However, for efficient audits, it is necessary to classify and totalize invoices issued for product purchases automatically. In this way, the standardization lacking regarding nomenclature in the OPME marketing not only makes it difficult to compare products, whether …

Resumo: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare neuromuscular degenerative disease characterized by the progressive loss of motor neurons, which leads to the gradual atrophy of skeletal and respiratory muscles (1–3). The etiology of ALS is multifactorial (2). The disease typically begins in a specific region, affecting the upper or lower limbs, bulbar areas, or respiratory system. As it progresses, it results in muscle paralysis and/or respiratory dysfunction (4). Malnutrition is common among ALS patients, with prevalence ranging from 16% to 55% at the time of diagnosis, increasing with disease progression (5). Weight loss and malnutrition are associated with faster disease …

Resumo: O Brasil tem atualmente uma das maiores populações carcerárias do mundo. No ano de 2016, o país tinha mais de 726 mil pessoas privadas de liberdade, e já era o terceiro país no ranking de população prisional, atrás somente dos Estados Unidos e da China. Essa superpopulação carcerária e as condições pelas quais essa população é exposta, cria um ambiente de vulnerabilidade muito favorável a um conjunto de doenças, que são mais prevalentes no sistema prisional, não somente no Brasil, mas em outros países também. A saúde prisional tem se tornado uma emergência de saúde pública por apresentar índices cada …
