Função sexual e autoimagem genital em mulheres com disfunções do assoalho pélvico
Get PDFTCC(graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Araranguá. Fisioterapia.Introdução: As disfunções do assoalho pélvico (DAP) afetam a qualidade de vida e a função sexual (FS) das mulheres, podendo diminuir a libido, reduzir a sensação vaginal, excitação e orgasmo, essas alterações também levam a pior autoimagem genital (AIG). Objetivo: Correlacionar a FS e AIG em mulheres com DAP. Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado com mulheres adultas (18 anos ou mais), sexualmente ativas nas últimas quatro semanas. Utilizou-se o Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20) para determinar as mulheres com sintomas de DAP. Para avaliar a FS foi utilizado o Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) e para avaliar a AIG foi utilizado o Female Genital Self-Image Scale (FGSIS). Os instrumentos foram aplicados em forma de entrevista individual. Foi realizada estatística descritiva e inferencial, com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Foram avaliadas 163 mulheres. A AIG correlacionou-se de forma fraca com a FS (rho= 0,237). Entre os domínios, houve correlação com desejo (rho= 0,294), excitação (rho= 0,240), orgasmo (rho= 0,175) e dor (rho= 0,154). Conclusão: Quanto menor a FS pior é a AIG de mulheres com DAP, com destaque para o domínio desejo que apresentou maior correlação com a AIG
Disfunções do assoalho pélvico e fatores associados em mulheres praticantes de Crossfit® e/ou Cross Training
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Campus Araranguá, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências da Reabilitação, Araranguá, 2025.Introdução: As disfunções do assoalho pélvico (DAP) referem-se a alterações anatômicas e/ou a sintomas decorrentes do comprometimento das funções dessa região. Diante da crescente adesão de mulheres a modalidades como o Crossfit® e o Cross Training, torna-se relevante investigar as possíveis DAP nesse contexto, a fim de embasar condutas clínicas e estratégias preventivas que promovam a saúde pélvica dessas praticantes. Objetivos: Estimar as prevalências de DAP e analisar seus fatores associados em mulheres praticantes de Crossfit® e/ou Cross Training do extremo sul do Brasil. Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado com 132 mulheres praticantes de Crossfit® e/ou Cross Training em academias dos municípios da Associação dos Municípios do Extremo Sul Catarinense (AMESC). Foram selecionadas intencionalmente mulheres com idade =18 anos, alfabetizadas em português do Brasil e com tempo de prática mínimo de três meses. A coleta foi realizada por meio de formulário online contendo: ficha de caracterização, prática de Crossfit® e/ou Cross Training, sintomas de incontinência urinária (IU) e anal durante a prática e o Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20) para determinar a presença de DAP. Utilizou-se estatística descritiva e inferencial, com significância de 5%. Resultados: Observou-se que 88,6% (IC 95% 83,2 - 94,0) da amostra apresentou alguma DAP. Os sintomas anorretais foram os mais frequentes (78,0%; IC95% 71,0-85,1), seguidos dos urinários (55,3%; IC95% 46,8-63,8) e pélvicos (38,6%; (IC95% 30,1-47,0). A IU durante atividades de alto impacto durante o treino foi relatada por 24,2% das participantes. A gestação prévia associou-se à presença de sintomas pélvicos (OR= 3,07; IC95% 1,44 - 6,55) e urinários (OR= 2,46; IC95% 12,1 - 4,97). Conclusão: A prevalência de DAP foi elevada, com destaque para os sintomas anorretais. A gestação prévia mostrou associação com os sintomas de DAP. Os achados reforçam a relevância da avaliação funcional do assoalho pélvico em mulheres fisicamente ativas, especialmente naquelas expostas a fatores de risco identificados, como gestação prévia.Abstract: Introduction: Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) refers to anatomical changes and/or symptoms resulting from impaired function in this region. Given the growing popularity of activities such as Crossfit® and Cross Training among women, it is important to investigate possible PFDs in this context in order to inform clinical practices and preventive strategies that promote pelvic health among these practitioners. Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of PFDs and analyze their associated factors in women who practice Crossfit® and/or Cross Training in southern Brazil. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted with 132 women practicing Crossfit® and/or Cross Training in gyms in the municipalities of the Association of Municipalities of the Far South of Santa Catarina (AMESC). Women aged =18 years, literate in Brazilian Portuguese, and with a minimum practice time of three months were intentionally selected. Data collection was performed using an online form containing: characterization form, Crossfit® and/or Cross Training practice, symptoms of urinary (UI) and anal incontinence during practice, and the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20) to determine the presence of PFD. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used, with a significance level of 5%. Results: It was observed that 88.6% (95% CI 83.2?94.0) of the sample presented some form of PAD. Anorectal symptoms were the most frequent (78.0%; 95% CI 71.0?85.1), followed by urinary symptoms (55.3%; 95% CI 46.8?63.8) and pelvic symptoms (38.6%; 95% CI 30.1?47.0). UI during high-impact activities during training was reported by 24.2% of participants. Previous pregnancy was associated with the presence of pelvic symptoms (OR= 3.07; 95% CI 1.44-6.55) and urinary symptoms (OR= 2.46; 95% CI 12.1-4.97). Conclusion: The prevalence of PAD was high, with an emphasis on anorectal symptoms. Previous pregnancy was associated with PAD symptoms. The findings reinforce the relevance of functional assessment of the pelvic floor in physically active women, especially those exposed to identified risk factors, such as previous pregnancy
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
