Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

2. Adductor Compartment
• It is well developed
• Its counterpart in the arm has
undergone degeneration during the
course of evolution
• Represented only by a weak
coracobrachialis muscle of the flexor
compartment of the arm
3. Boundaries
• Anteriorly- Medial intermuscular septum which separates it from
the anterior (extensor) compartment of the thigh
• Posteriorly- ill-defined posterior intermuscular septum which
separates it from posterior (flexor) compartment of the thigh
• The posterior intermuscular septum is ill-defined and incomplete
due to the presence of a composite muscle, the adductor magnus,
consisting of two components—adductor and flexor (hamstring)
belonging to adductor and flexor compartments of the thigh,
respectively
5. Muscles
• The muscles of the medial compartment of the thigh
are arranged into three layers.
• From superficial to deep these are
1. Anterior (first) layer consists of pectineus,
adductor longus, and gracilis.
2. Middle (second) layer consists of adductor brevis.
3. Posterior (third) layer consists of adductor magnus.

9. Obturator Nerve
• Chief nerve of the adductor
compartment of the thigh
• Arises from the lumbar plexus in the
abdomen
• It is formed by the ventral division of
the anterior primary rami of L2, L3, L4
spinal nerves
• It enters the thigh by passing through the
obturator canal
10. Course and Distribution
• While passing through the obturator canal the obturator nerve divides into anterior
and posterior divisions
Anterior division- passes downwards into the thigh in front of the obturator externus
• Then descends behind the pectineus and the adductor longus, and in front of the
adductor brevis
• The anterior division supplies the following muscles:
(a) Pectineus
(b) Adductor longus
(c) Gracilis
(d) Adductor brevis
• The anterior division also gives an articular twig to the hip joint
• Distal to the adductor longus, it enters the adductor canal where it provides a twig to
the subsartorial plexus of nerves and terminates by supplying the femoral artery in
the adductor canal
11. Posterior division- enters the thigh by piercing the anterior part of the obturator
externus muscle which it supplies
• It then descends behind the adductor brevis and in front of the adductor
magnus
• The posterior division supplies the following muscles:
(a) Obturator externus
(b) Adductor magnus
(c) Adductor brevis
• Its terminal part forms an articular branch called genicular branch
• Which pierces the adductor magnus or passes through hiatus for femoral vessels
to reach the popliteal fossa
• Where it runs along the popliteal vessels and pierces the oblique popliteal
ligament to supply the knee joint
Course and Distribution
12. Clinical Anatomy
• Adductor spasm of the thigh: Spasm of the adductors of the thigh in
spastic paraplegia may be relieved by surgical division of the obturator
nerve.
• Referred pain: In diseases of the knee joint, the pain may be referred
to the hip joint along the obturator nerve (L2, L3, and L4) because it
supplies both these joints.
13. Profunda Femoris Artery
• Largest branch of the femoral artery
• The chief source of blood supply to the muscles of all the three compartments of the thigh
• It arises from the lateral side of the femoral artery in the femoral triangle about 4 cm below the inguinal
ligament
• behind the femoral vessels, giving off medial and lateral circumflex arteries
• It then passes posteriorly between pectineus and adductor longus then descends close to femur successively
between adductor longus and adductor brevis, between adductor longus and adductor magnus
• Here it gives off first three perforating arteries
• Its terminal part pierces the adductor magnus as the fourth perforating artery to reach the back of the leg
15. Obturator Artery
• It arises from the anterior division of internal iliac artery in the pelvis
• It enters the adductor compartment of the thigh through the obturator
canal
• Just outside the obturator canal
• It divides into medial and lateral branches
• The lateral branch gives off an acetabular twig
• Which enters the acetabulum through a gap between acetabular notch
and transverse acetabular ligament
• Where it supplies acetabular fat and gives off a slender artery to the
femoral head along the ligament of the head of femur.
