Research paper thumbnail of Impact of bariatric surgery on depression and anxiety symptons, bulimic behaviors and quality of life

Revista do Colégio Brasileiro de Cirurgiões, 2014

METHODS: We conducted a prospective longitudinal study of 32 women undergoing bariatric surgery. To obtain data, the patients answered specific, self-administered questionnaires. RESULTS: We observed a reduction in depressive and anxious symptoms and also in bulimic behavior, as well as an improved quality of life in the physical, psychological and environmental domains. There was also a decrease in use of antidepressants and appetite suppressants, but the surgery was not a cessation factor in smoking and / or alcoholism. CONCLUSION: a decrease in psychiatric symptoms was observed after bariatric surgery, as well as the reduction in the use of psychoactive substances. In addition, there was an improvement in quality of life after surgical treatment of obesity.

MÉTODO: Estudo quali-quantitativo prospectivo, com avaliação feita por meio de questionários de autopreenchimento, relatórios de experiências relevantes, discussões abertas e observação participante. RESULTADOS: Na opinião dos alunos, a contribuição da visita domiciliar ao seu conhecimento foi considerada: ruim (2,8%), regular (14,1%), boa (50,7%) e ótima (32,5%). Houve contribuição das visitas ao componente afetivo em 91,3%, ao cognitivo em 62% e ao psicomotor em 56,3%. O aspecto positivo mais citado foi o fato de essas visitas mostrarem a realidade da população (70,8%); e o mais negativo foi o pequeno tempo de estágio (19,4%). Os internos expressaram suas percepções em relação à comunidade, ao valor do agente comunitário e às falhas do ensino m...

Research paper thumbnail of Perceptions of and Attitudes Toward Antidepressants

Using the PubMed and MEDLINE databases, we searched for the terms stigma, antidepressants, and depression. A protocol was developed to extract information from the papers, which were identified and explored further. Thirty-two papers were identified. We found that the stigma against depression differs from stigma against the use of antidepressants. Stigma against depression does not impact on therapeutic adherence to antidepressant use. Stigma related to antidepressant use appears to be linked with perceived emotional weakness, severity of illness, an inability to deal with problems, and a lack of belief in the therapeutic efficacy of antidepressants. Stigma against medication can be a useful target for interventions, just like the stigma related to depression. However, clinicians must be careful in avoiding the medicalization of symptoms.

The use of questionnaires filled out by medical students to assess the quality of lectures is one of the most common methods employed in our milieu. However, the reliability of this investigation method has not yet been systematically tested. The authors present the reliability of a specific form applied to the fourth grade medical students during the clinical psychiatry course. METHOD: Eighty-one fourth grade medical students were instructed to complete a form immediately after each clinical psychiatry lecture. Thirty-four students (42%) failed to turn in the forms after the final lecture. These students were given an identical form to assess the lectures in a retrospective fashion. The grades given by both groups of students for each performed lecture and the number of students who have gr...

Research paper thumbnail of Neural bases of pharmacological treatment of nicotine dependence - insights from functional brain imaging: a systematic review

There is an urgent need to develop better drugs and more effective treatments for clinical practice. A critical step towards accelerating progress in medication development is to understand the neurobehavioral effects of pharmacotherapies on clinical characteristics associated with nicotine dependence. This review sought to summarize the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) literature on smoking cessation with the aim to better understand the neural processes underlying the effects of nicotinic and non-nicotinic pharmacological smoking cessation treatments on specific symptoms of nicotine dependence and withdrawal. We conducted a search in Pubmed, Web of Science and PsycINFO databases with the keywords 'fMRI' or 'functional magnetic resonance imaging' and 'tobacco' or 'nicotine' or…
