    Notes: Abstract Objective: To study the physical and psychological stressors in the intensive care unit (ICU) and to correlate stressors with different demographic variables. Design: Cross-sectional analytical survey. Setting: Intensive care unit of a private hospital. Patients and participants: 50 randomly selected ICU patients during the first week of their ICU stay. Measurements and results: The Intensive Care Unit Environmental Stressor Scale was administered to 50 patients. Pain and the impossibility of sleeping due to noise and having tubes in the nose and mouth were considered the most important physical stressors. Loss of self control and lack of understanding about the attitudes and procedures were the main psychological stressors. Conclusions: Interventions should be aimed at relieving the patient's pain and at controlling the level of noise to make sleep possible. From the psychological standpoint, the independence of the patient should be encouraged, thus stimulating the recovery of self-control. The team should also inform the patient about the procedures which will be carried out.

    Evaluation of the international study group for Behçet's disease criteria in Brazilian patients (1995)
    Springer
    Clinical rheumatology 14 (1995), S. 526-530

    Notes: Summary Twenty-eight patients with Behçet's Disease (BD), diagnosed according to at least one of the published and internationally recognized diagnostic criteria (Japanese Committee, International Committee, O'Duffy, Mason & Barnes and James) were compared with 56 controls with other rheumatic diseases paired by sex and age. This study aimed at comparing the sensitivity and specificity of the five diagnostic criteria chosen as well as the validation of the use of the new set of diagnostic criteria proposed by the International Committee in our population. We conclude that, in general, Brazilian patients with BD present demographic and clinical characteristics similar to those described in the world literature. The criteria proposed by the International Committee, although not the most accurate in our study, are a valid proposal for the universal unification of diagnostic criteria for BD.
