Source text - Portuguese Objetivo: avaliar os resultados perinatais de recém-nascidos com índice de Apgar zero no primeiro minuto de vida.
Metodologia: estudo com delineamento caso-controle, realizado no período de Maio/1998 a Junho/2007, em que foram avaliadas variáveis maternas, fetais e neonatais. Os dados obtidos foram inseridos e analisados no SPSS 16.0, mediante o uso de testes não-paramétricos, médias, desvios padrões, percentuais e freqüência. Adotou-se o nível de significância de 5%.
Resultados: dos 15.616 nascimentos ocorridos no período citado, 29 (0,2%) apresentaram índice de Apgar zero no 1º minuto de vida (casos). Esses foram comparados aos 92 nascimentos (controles) ocorridos imediatamente aos casos. Ao se comparar casos e controles observaram-se maior índice de partos cesáreos (69% vs. 46,7%;
Translation - English Objective: To assess the perinatal results of newborns with zero Apgar score in the 1st minute of life.
Methods: Case-control study conducted from May 1998 to June 2007. We assessed maternal, fetal, and neonatal variables. Data were entered into and analyzed using the SPSS 16.0 by means of nonparametric tests, means, standard deviation, percentages, and frequency. The significance level was set at 5%.
Results: Of the 15,616 births occurring during the above mentioned period, 29 (0.2%) had zero Apgar score in the 1st minute of life (cases). These cases were compared with 92 births (controls) taking place immediately after the cases. The comparison between cases and controls showed a higher rate of cesarean deliveries (69% vs 46.7%; < 0.05), younger gestational age (34.8±5.5 vs 38.5±2.5; < 0.0001), hemorrhagic amniotic fluid (27.6% vs 17.2; < 0.0001), fetal weight (2,307.4±958.3 vs 3,068.9±609.3; < 0.0001), 5th-minute Apgar score (2.5±2.0 vs 8.9±0.7; < 0.0001), pH of umbilical artery (7.007±0.21 vs 7.206±0.08; < 0.0001), need of NICU (n = 29, 100%), and early and late neomortality rate (n = 12; 41.4%), respectively.
Conclusion: The perinatal assessment of newborns with zero Apgar score in the 1st minute of life showed a higher rate of operative deliveries and preterm fetuses with low birth weight. Acidosis resulting from apparent death and low fetal pH also explains the higher need of neonatal intensive care therapy corroborated by the high rates of resuscitation and neurologic impairment, low 5th-minute Apgar score, and high rate of early and late neomortality.

Source text - Portuguese Resumo
Introdução: O grande número de pacientes submetidos a cirurgia bariátrica e que, no pós-operatório, apresentam complicações psicológicas e psiquiátricas justificam uma investigação pré-operatória acurada, bem como categorização daqueles que se submeterão ao procedimento cirúrgico, visando predizer eventuais complicações e individualizar condutas psicológicas que possam favorecer a adesão do paciente. A avaliação psicodinâmica pode fornecer elementos para tal categorização e, assim, propor estratégias de abordagem pré e pós-operatórias eficazes. Procuramos identificar estruturas de personalidade que possam orientar o acompanhamento pós-operatório, bem como critérios auxiliares de inclusão/exclusão do procedimento cirúrgico.
Métodos: Relato de pesquisa empírica conduzida em atendimentos a pacientes submetidos a cirurgia bariátrica, em grupo terapêutico aberto.
Resultados e discussão: Pacientes, depois de operado, podem passar por determinadas fases de reestruturação emocional, como uma primeira fase de triunfo, seguida de fase de risco para surgimento de quadros melancólicos e de novas adições. Identificamos três categorias estruturais psicológicas: estrutura melancólica, cujos pacientes parecem ter maior possibilidade de desenvolver outras condutas aditivas no pós-operatório, sobretudo alimentares, por não suportarem a frustração pela perda; estrutura desmentalizada, na qual, por faltar uma capacidade elaborativa, o paciente não consegue reorganizar-se frente ao desafio de permanecer com peso controlado e, finalmente, a estrutura perversa, cujos sujeitos mantêm a programada perda de peso, porém a custas de comportamentos que levam desconfortos à equipe de saúde. Estabelecer categorias psicológicas classificatórias pode ser crucial para se proporem condutas no pós-operatório, inclusive indicação de psicoterapia com especialista, visando a individualizar o atendimento, incrementando sucesso terapêutico específico.

Translation - English Abstract
Introduction: The great number of patients undergoing bariatric surgery who have psychological and psychiatric complications during the postoperative period require a thorough preoperative investigation and a categorization with the purpose of predicting possible complications and personalizing psychological care that might favor patient compliance. Psychodynamic assessment may provide data for such categorization and, thus, suggest effective pre- and postoperative approach strategies. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify personality structures that may be useful in the postoperative follow-up, as well as additional inclusion and exclusion criteria for the surgical procedure.
Methods: Report of empirical survey conducted during psychotherapy sessions with an open group of patients who underwent bariatric surgery.
Results and discussion: After surgery, patients may experience phases of emotional restructuring, such as an initial phase of feeling triumphant, followed by a phase when there is risk of melancholic behavior and new addictions. We identified three categories of psychological structures: melancholic structure (patients seem to be more likely to develop other postoperative addictive behaviors, mainly eating disorders, since they cannot tolerate the frustration of the loss); dementalized structure (due to the lack of elaborative capacity, patients are unable to reorganize themselves in face of the challenge of keeping their weight under control); and perverse structure (patients comply with the scheduled weight loss; however, their behavior make the health team to experience uncomfortable situations). Establishing psychological categories may be crucial in order to suggest postoperative management strategies, including referral to a psychotherapist with the purpose of providing personalized care, thus increasing specific therapeutic success.
Keywords: Morbid obesity, bariatric surgery, psychoanalysis, medical psychology, group psychotherapy.
