Abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of overweight and central obesity among Anhanguera Uniderp School of Medicine undergraduates in the city of Campo Grande, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, and the possible related variables, according to socio-demographic data like life habits, and personal and family background. A cross-sectional quantitative observational study was conducted with a sample of 295 undergraduates who filled a survey questionnaire form, and Overweight and obesity were measured by using body mass index (BMI). Central obesity was measured by waist circumference: ≥88 cm for females and ≥102 cm for males. Results presented prevalence rates of 26.4% for overweight, 7.8% for obesity and 7.5% for central obesity. There was a significant association between overweight and central obesity with childhood obesity, family history of obesity, and the habitual intake of animal fats. There was a significant association of overweight with the regular intake of alcohol, approximately 3-4 times/week, and less than 2 hours of extracurricular study. The prevalence of overweight among UNIDERP medical students is high and similar to the national population for the same age group.

Abstract: The purpose of the present study was to report the effect of exercise rehabilitation after rotator cuff repair. This case is a woman (54 years of age) who had been operated on for rotator cuff repair in 2017 and passed six weeks after surgery. Her job is a shop assistant in market. It showed that the ROM of shoulder flexion was deficit 70° from the non-involved side, abduction deficit 135°, internal rotation deficit 60°, external rotation deficit 80° at six weeks after surgery. She had rehabilitation exercise over eight weeks in a specific rehabilitation center. The ROM of shoulder was rapidly improved after two weeks a rehabilitation exercise. And after four weeks a rehabilitation, The ROM of shoulder and Shoulder instability score (ASES) were restored to nearly normal and VAS was well controlled. Shoulder ROM and ASES and VAS remained normal during the eight week rehabilitation exercise after rotator cuff repair. It was very effective to have rehabilitation exercise three times a week after rotator cuff repair. The shoulder range of motion (flexion, abduction, internal rotation and external rotation), ASES and VAS were consistently improved and restored to normal during the eight week rehabilitation after rotator cuff repair.
