The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in both high mortality rates and a decrease in the response of health services worldwide. Many people changed their lifestyles due to the deterioration of their health both during the acute and post-illness stages. Depression, and especially sleep disorders, deserve attention due to their high prevalence within the so-called post-COVID-19 syndrome because they are associated with a deterioration in the quality of life of those affected. Knowing its prevalence and understanding its pathophysiology, clinical spectrum and treatment methods remain matters of research. The objective of this narrative review is to present the latest findings on sleep disorders as manifestations of post-COVID-19 syndrome. For this purpose, scientific literature was consulted using three databases—PubMed, Scopus and SciELO—resulting in a total of 867 articles, which were re...

La respiración incluye varios mecanismos en la captación de oxígeno y eliminación de bióxido de carbono en el pulmón; simplificando el transporte de gases en los pulmones a un compartimiento y con ventilación regional igual en los alveolos, los modelos no reflejan con realismo como se genera un espirograma. Se simula el intercambio y transporte de gases (O2 y CO2) en los alvéolos, utilizando la distribución regional en paralelo desde el ápice a base; además, se considera la inhomogenidad alveolar. Se plantearon maniobras forzadas para validar los supuestos del modelo; se realizaron mediciones en cinco sujetos entre hombres y mujeres, como son: volúmenes, capacidades pulmonares y frecuencia respiratoria; luego se registraron las fracciones de gases espirados en diferentes maniobras respiratorias en diferentes volúmenes y capacidades pulmonares. En la simulación a través del...

People with intellectual disabilities (PID) are prone to complications during some illnesses due to their comorbidities, thus requiring differentiated hospital care. However, they do not usually receive an appropriate treatment and their rights are often violated, especially in the ethical field. The principles of justice, non-maleficence, beneficence and autonomy could be violated in hospital settings not only by health personnel, who sometimes provide dehumanized treatment and with little involvement of the caregiver, but also by hospital care systems, which do not consider PID’s limitations, inequalities and priority needs. To identify this reality, the present narrative review was conducted, finding 484 articles in databases such as PubMed, Scopus and LILACS, out of which 53 were included. The scarcity of information directly related to ethics in hospital care stands out; however, ...
