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.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Using the commit lozenge to stop smoking
1. Using the Commit Lozenge to Stop
Smoking
By
http://2stopsmokingtips.com
2. Introduction
• Giving up the smoking habit is NOT an easy
task. It is so because of the nicotine cravings
that accompany any stop smoking decision. By
nature, nicotine is a highly addictive substance
and when smokers decide to get off cigarettes,
the body craves for its usual supply of
nicotine. This leads to nicotine withdrawal
symptoms like sleeplessness, nervousness,
inability to concentrate, drowsiness,
headaches and sometimes, depression.
3. Nicotine Replacement Therapies
• To curb these cravings, many nicotine
replacement therapies have been introduced.
One of them is the Commit Lozenge. It was
approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for over-the-counter
(OTC) sale on October 31st,2002. This means a
doctor’s prescription is not needed to use the
Commit Lozenge.
4. The Commit Lozenge
• GlaxoSmithKline, manufacturers of the
Commit Lozenge, say it helps manage cravings
by delivering nicotine to the body without
actually smoking. In addition, the company
said its revolutionary new dosage-selection
tool, “Time to First Cigarette” (TTFC), helps
smokers to get the right nicotine strength
based on how quickly they need to smoke
after waking. The Lozenge comes in 2
strengths.
5. The Commit Lozenge(2)
• If you smoke your first cigarette within 30
minutes of waking, you are advised to use the
4mg strength of the Commit Lozenge, but, if
you smoke your first cigarette after 30
minutes of waking, you are admonished to
apply the 2mg strength.
6. The Key to Stop Smoking Success
• The first thing you must know about using any
nicotine replacement therapy is that you
must want to quit, without your own
dedication and commitment, the Commit
Lozenge can do no miracle. You must believe
in your ability to pull it off, otherwise, you
would be wasting your time. For the Commit
Lozenge to work, you must apply your will
power.
7. Keys to Success with the Lozenge
• Also, stay away from people that smoke. The
temptation might be too strong for you. If you
associate smoking with drinking, please give
drinking a wide berth. For a while, you need to
get busy so you don’t think about smoking. A
good exercise program will do but if you detest
exercise, reading a book, playing the piano or
doing any other thing with your hands will help.
You can also drink water any time you feel like
smoking and if you get addicted to drinking
water, your body will be the better for it.
8. How to Use the Commit Lozenge
• Once you have taken the above precautions, you
can start using the Commit Lozenge which works
by releasing controlled amounts of nicotine at a
slower, less intense rate than cigarettes. The
lozenge comes in the form of a tiny, candy-like pill
which dissolves when placed in the mouth.
Within 20 to 30 minutes, the pill melts in the
mouth and the nicotine released from the
Lozenge is gradually assimilated into the
bloodstream, curbing temporary cravings to
smoke.
9. How to Use the Commit Lozenge(2)
• Commit lozenges don’t contain sugar and
come in fruit, mint and cinnamon flavors.
• Avoid foods and beverages prior to and during
use as this will reduce the effectiveness of the
lozenge. GlaxoSmithkline recommends waiting
15 minutes after your meal before using a
nicotine lozenge. This is because acidic foods
and beverages can hinder the assimilation of
the nicotine through the tissues of the mouth.
10. How to Use the Commit Lozenge(3)
• Do not smoke while using nicotine lozenges,
neither should you chew tobacco, use snuff or
any other product containing nicotine, this
includes use of the nicotine patch or gum.
• Don’t use the lozenge if pregnant. Consult your
doctor before doing so. Even though it can be
bought over –the-counter, talk to your doctor
before using the Commit Lozenge, especially if
you have a heart disease, ulcer, diabetes and high
blood pressure.
11. How to Use the Commit Lozenge(4)
• Don’t use the Commit Lozenge alongside any
other NRT. This can cause nicotine overdose.
• Also, don’t use the Lozenge alongside any
other prescription quit smoking aid like
chantix or welbutrin.
• Keep the Lozenge out of the reach of children.
• Don’t chew the lozenges or swallow them
whole,suck on the lozenge until it dissolves.
12. How to Use the Commit Lozenge(5)
• According to the Nicorette website, the
Commit Lozenges are used as follows:
• Weeks 1 – 6: Use one lozenge every 1 to 2
hours.
• Weeks 7 – 9: Use one lozenge every 2 – 4
hours.
• Weeks 10 – 12: Use one lozenge every 4 – 8
hours.
13. How to Use the Commit Lozenge(6)
• The lozenges work best if it is used on a
regular schedule but do not use more than 20
lozenges per day. Stop using nicotine lozenges
at the end of 12 weeks. You are not supposed
to use the Lozenges for more than 12 weeks
as they are expected to gradually wean you off
nicotine addiction. Have a chat with your
doctor if you have trouble stopping.
14. How to Use the Commit Lozenge(7)
• If you check the packaging of the Commit stop
smoking lozenges, you will notice that it has
proper dosage guidelines to help people stop
smoking. If you use more of the product than
recommended, you are likely to experience
side effects like indigestion, headaches,
nausea, sore throat, dizziness and irregular
heartbeat. Tell your doctor about any side
effects you are experiencing.
15. How to Use the Commit Lozenge(8)
• It takes effort for stop smoking lozenges to be
effective, and people who are not serious about
quitting can’t be helped. You must really want to
break your smoking habit for stop smoking
lozenges to work for you.
• The Commit Lozenge is just one out of the many
products that can help you stop smoking. Which
is best for you depends on many factors and
ultimately the only person that knows which is
best for you is you.
16. How to Use the Commit Lozenge(9)
• The best thing to do when you want to stop smoking is
to find out what options you have and go for the
option that is best for you.
• There are many aids to help you quit: Lozenges,
nicotine gum, nicotine inhalers,Chantix,Welbutrin,etc.
When one is trying to quit, one needs to find the
method that is best for ones needs. Keep searching and
trying,you will surely find the best method to help you
quit. And when you do find it,commit to it against all
odds because success belongs to those who are willing
to try and try until they achieve the desired result.
17. How to Use the Commit Lozenge(10)
• Commit Lozenges 4 mg – 7 Pop Pacs, 24 Lozenges
Each – 168 Mint Flavor Lozenges
• How Effective is the Commit Lozenge?
• Since the Lozenge was introduced into the
market,many studies have been done on its
efficacy. One of such investigations was titled
Efficacy of a Nicotine Lozenge for Smoking
Cessation. Led by Dr Saul Shifman, the
investigators concluded that “the new nicotine
lozenge is an effective and safe treatment for
smoking.”
18. How to Use the Commit Lozenge(11)
• Yet another research states that smokers need to use
both the nicotine patch and lozenge for effective quit
smoking. According to a report in the November,2009
issue of Archives of General Psychiatry,the
investigating team,led by Megan E. Piper Ph.D., of the
University of Wisconsin Center for Tobacco Research
and Intervention, Madison,and colleagues conducted a
randomized clinical trial of smoking cessation therapies
involving 1,504 adults. After the research,they held
that “the present results suggest that the nicotine
lozenge can also be effective as an adjuvant [additional
treatment] to the nicotine patch.”
19. How to Use the Commit Lozenge(12)
• Commit Lozenges 4 mg – 7 Pop Pacs, 24 Lozenges
Each – 168 Mint Flavor Lozenges
• Another report by the Cancer Information Service
of the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics
says “the new Commit Lozenges have been
shown effective in helping people quit, including
smokers who have tried quitting before. The
benefits of the Commit Lozenge were even
greater when quitters used the minimum
recommended number of lozenges per day (9 per
day) in the early part of their quit attempts.”
20. Pros and Cons of Using the Commit
Lozenge
• Pros:
• The Commit Lozenge brings ex-smokers fast
and effective relief from nasty cravings which
accompany abrupt nicotine withdrawal.
• Most people find it easy to use as it’s an oral
medication. It doesn’t involve any form of
surgery or complicated procedure.
21. Pros and Cons of Using the Commit
Lozenge(2)
• Cons:
• Because Lozenges taste and look like candies
(even though they are not),people tend to
abuse them, people don’t use them exactly as
indicated. This is a major disadvantage as this
abuse leads to nasty side effects.
• Some people who use the Lozenge complain
of sore throat and tooth decay.
22. Pros and Cons of Using the Commit
Lozenge(3)
• Some people also get addicted to the lozenges. By
design, the Lozenges are meant to be used to gradually
wean yourself off nicotine addiction but most people
who use it, get addicted to it (or is it re-addiction?).
• The notion behind using a nicotine replacement
therapy is to gradually wean you off nicotine. So that
by wearing the patch, chewing the gum or using the
lozenge, your body gets its usual supply of nicotine
without you smoking a cigarette. After a few weeks,
you cut down on your nicotine intake..and it goes on
like that until you cut off finally.
23. Conclusion
• After you have finally cut off, you will
experience urges to smoke once in a while.
each time, you have this urge, tell yourself
that you’re one step closer to your stop
smoking goal. When a thought like, “I need a
smoke now”, crosses your mind, just
remember…you’re no longer a smoker! If you
do this all the time, you will gain total mastery
over your cravings.
