Structure for the work and composition of Family Health Support Unit teams: national survey - Program for Improving Primary Health Care Access and Quality (PMAQ), 2013.

Objective: to describe the structure of Family Health Support Unit (FHSU) teams with regard to physical space, training received, continuing education and professionals that support Primary Health Care (PHC) teams in Brazil, in 2013.

Methods: this is a descriptive study using data from the external evaluation stage of the Program for Improving Primary Health Care Access and Quality (PMAQ).

Results: the 1,773 FHSU teams mainly used shared clinics at primary health care centers (85.

Family Health Support Center: health promotion, physical activity, and chronic diseases in Brazil - national PMAQ survey 2013.

Objective: to describe reported health promotion actions directed towards chronic non-communicable disease (CNCD) patients, the support of physical education professionals (PEP) and the implementation of actions to promote body practices and physical activity (BPPA) by the Family Health Support Center (FHSC) teams, according to Brazilian municipality context variables.

Methods: this was a cross-sectional study, forming part of the 2013/2014 National Primary Health Care Access and Quality Improvement Program (PMAQ), by means of interviews with FHSC professionals.

Results: the action most reported by the teams was evaluation and rehabilitation of psychosocial conditions (90.

Addition of blood flow restriction to passive mobilization reduces the rate of muscle wasting in elderly patients in the intensive care unit: a within-patient randomized trial.

Objective:: To evaluate the addition of blood flow restriction to passive mobilization in patients in the intensive care unit.

Design:: The study was a within-patient randomized trial.

Setting:: Two intensive care units in Belém, from September to October 2017.

Aerobic exercise increases phosphate removal during hemodialysis: a controlled trial.

Previous studies have suggested that exercise during hemodialysis (HD) could increase the efficacy of solute removal, although this hypothesis has not been conclusively evaluated. The goal of this study was to compare the removal of low-molecular weight solutes between HD sessions, with and without aerobic exercise. It was a controlled clinical trial, including HD patients in a randomly cross-over design, such that each patient received a HD session with exercise (intervention) and the next one without exercise (control), three times each.

Combined resistance and aerobic exercise is better than resistance training alone to improve functional performance of haemodialysis patients--results of a randomized controlled trial.

Background And Purpose: This study aims to compare the effects of combined resistance and aerobic exercise with a resistance programme alone on functional performance among haemodialysis patients.

Design: The design was a randomized controlled trial.

Setting: The setting was the dialysis unit of a Brazilian university hospital.
