- Clinical aspects of quality of life in tinnitus patientsPublication . de Oliveira, Vasco; Meneses, Rute; Oliveira, VascoThe knowledge of the clinical aspects that could be related with Quality of Live (QoL) of tinnitus patients should be important when the care procedures where organized. It was used a Sociodemographic and Clinical questionnaire, and the Portuguese version of SF-36v2 in 74 tinnitus patients: 34 men; M=55,63 years (PD=13,65; 18-79) and M=8,42 years of schooling (PD=4,54; 4-18). As it was confirmed that is a normal distribution, t test was applied. The time with the complaint, where is perceived and the type of tinnitus where not related with the dimensions of SF-36v2. The QoL was related with hyperacusis (Vitality - VT and Mental Heath – MH), dizziness (Physical function – PF; Role functioning/physical – RF; General Health; VT; and Role functioning/emotional – RE;), existence of “nervous problems” (VT; Social functioning; RE; MH) and hearing level (RF), with values of p<0,033. In our sample, we realized that the presence of hyperacusis, dizziness and worse hearing level and the presence of nervous problems, where related with a compromised QoL. These results, combined in a clinical profile related to worse QoL, in tinnitus patients, can be an important contribution for programing more efficient intervention programs in this patients.
- Reabilitação auditiva com prótesesPublication . Oliveira, Vasco de; Oliveira, VascoQuando alguém, até aí com uma audição normal, acorda sem ouvir, pelo menos de um ouvido, parece que tudo se desmorona, com dificuldade em ouvir no local de trabalho, nas relações familiares, surge alguma frustração e degradação da qualidade de vida do individuo.
- Noise induced hearing loss among gym teachersPublication . Sousa, Aida; Rodrigues, Matilde; Alves, Raquel; Moreira, Inêshealth and to the organization. In fact, noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) has been listed as one of the most prevalent self-reported illness in Europe (Eurostat, 2004), being subject of great concern at occupational settings. The development process of the NIHL is along the years of exposition, being the initial damage caused by loud sounds often small and the source of slight hearing problems like temporary hearing threshold shift.
- Sound exposure of music students during the classesPublication . Rodrigues, Matilde; Amorim, Marta; Vieira da Silva, Manuela; Rodrigues, Cristina; Aguiar, Lívia; Neves, Paula; Sousa, Aida; Inácio, OctávioIt is broadly recognized that professional musicians are at risk of developing ear pathologies due to the exposition to loud music in the course of rehearsals and performances (MacDonald et al ., 2008; O’Brien et al ., 2008; Jansen et al ., 2009). However, while much has been published regarding the sound exposure of professional musicians, particularly of orchestral musicians, little is known of the sound exposure of the music students. In fact, it is important to recognize that the musicians’ noise exposure may start very early, in the course of their training as students, in the school classrooms and at homes.
- Temporary hearing threshold shift at the Valpaços Scouts FanfarePublication . Sousa, Aida; Rodrigues, Matilde; Calvão, Joana; Moreira, InêsNoise is present in our daily life at several places and activities, i.e., at home or at work, or even when we listening to music. Without noticing, we can be exposed, directly or indirectly, to high levels of sound pressure that sometimes are assessed as harmless because they are enjoyable. This is the case of music. In general, music is seen as an enjoyable sound, and can be listened by hobby or due to professional activities. However, when exposed to high levels of sound pressure, health effects can arise, particularly at hearing level (Sataloff, 2006). Noise- induced hearing loss, tinnitus, hyperacusis, diplacusis and implications in performance are some of the effects found in previous studies with professional musicians, particularly in classic musicians (O’Brien et al ., 2008). However, other groups of musicians, mainly non-professional musicians can also be exposed to high noise levels. The scouts’ fanfare musicians are one of these groups. The noise levels in the course of rehearsals and performances can be high and carried out in places with poor acoustical conditions. Furthermore, most of the musicians making up these groups have low sensibility to the noise problem, and no risk reduction measures are implemented. Bearing this in mind, it is important the analysis of the problem related with fanfare musicians noise exposition.
- Sound exposure of garage rock bands musiciansPublication . Almeida, João; Silva, Daniel; Carmo, Paulo; Neves, Paula; Rodrigues, Matilde A.Previous studies have been shown that musicians are exposed to high sound levels in the course of rehearsals and performances (Rodrigues et al .,2014), which can be the source of hearing damages (Jansen et al ., 2009). However, other musical groups can also be exposed to high sound levels, as is the case of the garage rock bands musicians. This particular group of musicians, due to the style of the music played, can be exposed to dangerous sound levels. This situation can be even worse if considered the conditions of the rooms where the rehearsals and performances are being done. In fact, in most of cases, rock musicians play in rooms with small dimensions and with poor acoustic conditions. Despite the importance of this issue, few studies analyzed this issue, particularly integrating two important issues, the sound exposure and to hearing damages.
- A qualidade de vida no indivíduo com perda auditivaPublication . Carmo, Paulo Quintela; Pimenta, Rui; Ferreira, Pedro L.A audição é um sentido essencial para o desenvolvimento das capacidades de comunicação com os pares podendo comprometer seriamente a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos. O presente estudo pretendeu medir a qualidade de vida, nos seus diferentes domínios, e identificar eventuais diferenças face aos valores de referência apresentados por Ferreira e Santana (2003).
- A influência da ativação dos músculos do ouvido médio no seu comportamento biomecânicoPublication . Gentil, Fernanda; Garbe, Carolina; Parente, Marco; Martins, Pedro; Paço, João; Natal, RenatoA cadeia timpano-ossicular do ouvido médio humano é composta por três ossículos, ligamentos, músculos e tendões. Estes músculos (tensor do timpano e estapédico) têm uma ação protetora do ouvido interno, evitando que sons fortes o possam danificar. Neste trabalho é estudado o comportamento destes músculos, procurando a influência correta sobre a biomecânica do ouvido médio. Com base em imagens de tomografia computorizada (TC), foi criado um modelo da membrana timpânica e ossículos. A discretização deste modelo 3D foi feita através do programa ABAQUS. Usando o modelo de Hill, procedeu-se a simulação dos músculos e os resultados foram comparados considerando o seu comportamento passivo e ativo.
- Perceções de estudantes da área da saúde póspandemia: estudo observacionalPublication . Cruz, Agostinho; Machado, Alberto; Cabral, Ana Paula; Tavares, Diana; Sousa, Helena; Curado, Henrique; Faria, Isabel; Sousa, Maria; Gonçalves, Maria João; Lopes, Paula; Monteiro, PedroO contexto pandémico vivenciado por toda a comunidade portuguesa nestes últimos meses, constituiu indubitavelmente um ambiente e um conjunto de experiências totalmente novas e singulares para todos os cidadãos, mas sobretudo para os jovens adultos. A pandemia e o confinamento, trouxe restrições no acesso a simulações práticas e especializadas assim como a locais de ensino clínico em contexto real e presencial, fundamental para a aquisição de competências clínicas e integração de realidades organizacionais de serviços cuidados de saúde. Neste contexto ao nível da área da saúde os desafios foram ímpares e alteraram a dinâmica profissional e as interações sociais.
- The relevance of an ethics committee in a higher education institution in the health area: The experience of ESS-P.PORTOPublication . Monteiro, Pedro; Tavares, Diana; Cruz, Agostinho; Cabral, Ana Paula; Machado, Alberto; Curado, Henrique; Sousa, Helena; Faria, Isabel; Gonçalves, Maria João; Sousa, Maria; Marques, António; Lopes, Paula; Prudêncio, CristinaEthics Committees arose as consequence of medical-scientific advances made in an eminent demand to extend morality and ethics to the field of biomedicine, to expand and preserve autonomy and dignity of human beings. The Ethics Committee (EC) of Escola Superior de Saúde (ESS) was born in February 2011. The importance for this unit of P.PORTO in having such a committee, for ethical and not legal imperative, came to be corroborated by law (Decree-Law no. 80/2018).
