Abstract Objective To analyze the follow-up, in specialized outpatient clinics, of infants reported with congenital syphilis during the penicillin shortage. Method A cross-sectional study was carried out in ten public maternity hospitals affiliated with the Brazilian Unified Health System in the city of Fortaleza, state of Ceará. Clinical records of infants reported with congenital syphilis who were born alive in 2015 were used to describe correlates of attendance at recommended clinical follow-up appointments. Results A total of 469 infants reported with CS from January 1/2015 to December 31/2015 were included in the analysis. The results show that most infants did not attend the follow-up visits (368/469, 78.5%) and the main associated factors are that the follow-up clinic is located in a different hospital from that where the infant was born (OR: 3.7; CI: 2.20-6.22; p< 0.001) and the use of illicit drugs by the mother (OR: 3.2; CI: 1.57-6.87; p= 0.002). Only 33.7% (34/101) were followed until discharge. Conclusion The majority of infants with reported congenital syphilis during this period did not attend the follow-up visits. Public health efforts aimed at reaching the parents of infants with CS should be a priority to ensure appropriate clinical identification and management of the associated outcomes of this vertically transmitted infection.

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar a tendência na taxa de detecção de sífilis em gestantes (SG) e na taxa de incidência de sífilis congênita (SC) no estado do Ceará. Métodos: Estudo ecológico que utilizou a técnica da série temporal interrompida para analisar os dados mensais de casos de SG e SC obtidos no Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS) no período de janeiro de 2015 a julho de 2021. Utilizaram-se o teste de Kernel e a estimativa de Lincoln-Petersen para analisar a significância estatística. Resultados: Em 2015, estimou-se uma taxa de detecção mensal de SG de 5,4 e de incidência de SC de 8,2 por 1 mil nascidos vivos (NV). A implantação da portaria que alterou os critérios de definição de caso de SG e de SC implicou no aumento de 4,9 na taxa de detecção de SG (p<0,0001; IC95% 3,33; 6,61) e na queda de 0,1 na taxa de incidência de SC (p<0,001; IC95% -0,2; -0,1). A pandemia de COVID-19 não impactou na taxa de detecção mensal de SG (p=0,558; IC95% 5,92; 3,22), nem na sua tendência (p=0,7397; IC95% 0,28; 0,3), mas houve aumento de 0,19 na de SC (p<0,001; IC95% 0,1; -0,31). Conclusões: Entre os anos de 2015 e junho de 2021, a tendência na taxa de detecção de SG e na taxa de incidência da SC sofreu impacto das mudanças nos critérios de definição de caso desses agravos propostas pelo Ministério da Saúde e da pandemia de COVID-19.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the trend in the detection rate of Syphilis in Pregnant Women (SP) and in the incidence rate of Congenital Syphilis (CS) in the state of Ceará. Methods: This is an ecological study that used the technique of interrupted time series to analyze monthly data on cases of SP and CS obtained from the Department of Informatics of the Brazilian Unified Health System (DATASUS) from January 2015 to July 2021. The Kernel test and the Lincoln-Petersen estimate were used to analyze the statistical significance. Results: In 2015, a monthly detection rate of SP was estimated at 5.4 and a CS incidence rate of 8.2 per one thousand live births (LB). The implementation of the ordinance that changed the criteria for defining cases of SP and CS resulted in an increase of 4.9 (p<0.0001; 95%CI; 3.33; 6.61) in the detection rate of SP and a decrease of 0.1 on the incidence of CS (p<0.001; 95%CI -0.2; -0.1). The COVID-19 pandemic did not impact the monthly detection rate of SP (p=0.558; 95%CI 5.92; 3.22), nor its trend (p=0.7397; 95%CI 0.28; 0.3), but there was an increase of 0.19 in CS (p<0.001; 95%CI 0.1; -0.31). Conclusion: Between 2015 and June 2021, the trend in the detection rate of SP and in the incidence rate of CS was impacted by changes in the criteria for defining cases of these diseases proposed by the Brazilian Ministry of Health and the COVID-19 pandemic.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the rate of repeated pregnancy in adolescence and its association with early marriage and education level. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study conducted by searching the Live Births Data System. The study included all adolescents in the age group 10–19 years with live births from 2015 to 2019 (n=2,405,248), divided into three groups: G1: primiparas; G2: with 1 previous pregnancy; and G3: with two or more previous pregnancies. RESULTS: Total repeated pregnancies remained stable, along the years. In the age group 10–14 years, the decrease in the period was from 5.0 to 4.7%, whereas in the age group 15–19 years, it was from 27.8 to 27.3%. Being married or in a stable union increases by 96% the chance of repeated pregnancy in the age group 10–14 years (p<0.001; OR=1.96; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.85–2.09). In the age group 15–19 years, the chance of repeated pregnancy among the married or in stable union increased 40% (p<0.001; OR=1.40; 95%CI 1.39–1.41)). Girls aged 10–14 years with an education level of<8 years had a 64% higher chance of repeated pregnancy (p<0.001; OR=1.64; 95%CI 1.53–1.75), and among those aged 15–19 years, there was a 137% higher chance of repeated pregnancy (p<0.001; OR=2.37; 95%CI 2.35–2.38). CONCLUSION: Repeated pregnancy in adolescence in Brazil remains very high over the years. There is an association between low education level and early marriage with repeated pregnancies in adolescence.

Malvaceae sensu lato is a family containing about 245 genera and 4,465 species mainly distributed across tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Species of this family usually contain alkaloids with anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, antiparasitic, antimicrobial and anticancer properties due to its secondary metabolites. In this context, this review aims to checklist the alkaloids isolated from Malvaceae sensu lato species, evaluating their chemical profile and pharmacological potential, providing a broad and concise overview of these secondary metabolites. The results were collected from scientific databases such as Web of Science, Scifinder, Pubmed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar, using the keywords “Alkaloids” and “Malvaceae”. Several pharmacological/biological activities are reported in literature for the most varied alkaloid nuclei, such as: vasorelaxation of the mesentery of rats (cryptolepinone), antitrypanosomal activity (waltherione) and anti-inflammatory and bronchodilator activity (vasicine), which highlights a succession of activities related to this class of secondary metabolites. Presented data report the importance of the Malvaceae sensu lato family, demonstrating the biological relevance of its alkaloids, in order to contribute to scientific knowledge and the development of new drugs.

Resumo A neurofibromatose tipo 1 (NF1) é uma das doenças genéticas mais comuns, com uma incidência reportada de 1:3000. A condição é multissistémica e os critérios diagnósticos foram recentemente revistos como uma recomendação de consenso internacional. As características clínicas da doença evoluem lenta e progressivamente e frequentemente podem estar ausentes na primeira infância. Embora descritos há várias décadas nestas crianças, condições endócrinas e distúrbios do crescimento não estão incluídos nos critérios diagnósticos da doença. No entanto, são relativamente frequentes e podem ser a forma de apresentação de glioma da via ótica. Devido ao amplo espetro de implicações na saúde da NF1, o seguimento destas crianças é muitas vezes feito em contexto de consulta de Pediatria. O objetivo deste artigo é rever os distúrbios endócrinos mais frequentes em doentes com NF1, o que vigiar e quando referenciar os doentes à consulta de Endocrinologia pediátrica.

Abstract Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is one of the most common genetic disorders, with a reported incidence of 1:3000. The condition is multisystemic, and diagnostic criteria have been recently revised as an international consensus recommendation. The clinical features evolve slowly and progressively and may often be absent in early childhood. Disorders of growth and endocrine conditions, although described for several decades in these children, are not included in the diagnostic criteria. However, they are relatively frequent and may be the presenting feature of optic pathway glioma. Due to its wide spectrum of health implications, children with NF1 are often followed at Pediatric consultation. The aim of this article is to review the most frequent endocrine disorders in NF1 patients, what to look for, and when to refer patients to pediatric Endocrinology consultation.

Pavonia Cav., is a genus in the Malvaceae sensu lato family, containing 271 species with worldwide distribution, although with a higher diversity in America and Asia. Species from this genus are traditionally used in folk medicine with several biological activities, arousing scientific interest on the search for the substances responsible for such activities. This review aimed to provide and expand the scientific interest through phytochemical and pharmacological studies and the utilization of those plants in folk medicine. Species P. odorata and P. zeylanica are described in literature, specially at India, following the traditional medicine system Ayuverda, while the other species are studied mostly at Africa and America. There have been around 169 compounds isolated and characterized for such genus, most of them from the metabolic classes fat acids, terpenoids, flavonoids and phenolic compounds. Those species have shown in vivo, in vitro and in silico significant pharmacological activities, which include anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antimicrobial, cytotoxic, antitumoral, antidiabetic and antioxidant properties. Based on those informations, the search for new sources of plant based biologic prototypes with potential for the treatment of several diseases is of major scientific, economical and medicinal interest.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Multiple opinion-based communications have highlighted the actions of the Brazilian government during the pandemic. Nevertheless, none have appraised public data to identify factors associated with worsening of the healthcare system. OBJECTIVE: To analyze and collate data from public health and treasury information systems in order to understand the escalating process of weakening of Brazilian healthcare and welfare since the beginning of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. DESIGN AND SETTING: Secondary data study conducted using multiple public databases administered by the Brazilian federal government. METHODS: We processed information from multiple national databases and appraised health and economic-related data. RESULTS: Based on our analyses, there were substantial reductions in inpatient hospital admissions and in the numbers of patients seeking primary care services, along with a decrease in immunization coverage. Moreover, we observed a considerable decline in government transfers to hospital services (reduction of 82.0%) and a diminution of public outlays in several healthcare-related subfunctions (“hospital and outpatient care”, “primary care”, “prophylactic and therapeutic support” and “epidemiological surveillance”). We observed an increase in the overall mortality rate over the period analyzed, especially regarding all group-based diseases. Notably, there were remarkable differences among geographic, racial, gender and other parameters, thus revealing the impact of vulnerabilities on COVID-19 outcomes. CONCLUSION: This assessment of documentation of public expenditure and the shrinkage of investment in sensitive areas of the healthcare system in Brazil emphasized areas that still require collective attention in order to guarantee national welfare.

Resultados duas classes foram originadas relacionando as concepções do colegiado docente da residência sobre competências, competência em promoção da saúde e seu desenvolvimento a partir do processo formativo da residência multiprofissional. O desenvolvimento de competências em promoção da saúde na residência multiprofissional envolve a articulação de atributos psicomotores, cognitivos e afetivos. Para tanto, valorizam-se as práticas coletivas e multiprofissionais, utilizando estratégias de comunicação, educação popular e identificação de parcerias, entre outros. Considerações finais e implicações para a prática fomentar o desenvolvimento de competências em promoção da saúde contribui com a superação de modelos tradicionais de ensino e práticas de saúde, entretanto, aspectos políticos, institucionais e sociais destacam a necessidade de cautela no desenvolvimento de estudos pautados na formação de equipes multiprofissionais, representando limitações do estudo.

Abstract Objective to recognize the conformation of competences in health promotion in the multidisciplinary health residency. Method a qualitative study, carried out with multiprofessional residency programs in the state of Ceará and guided by the Competences in Health Promotion Project (CompHP) framework. Thirteen professionals from the faculty of five residency programs with priority performance in primary care took part. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and interpreted using a dendrogram organized in ALCESTE. Results two classes were originated relating the conceptions of the residency faculty collegiate about competences, competence in health promotion and its development from the training process of the multidisciplinary residency. The development of skills in health promotion in the multiprofessional residency involves the articulation of psychomotor, cognitive and affective attributes. Therefore, collective and multidisciplinary practices are valued, using communication strategies, popular education and identification of partnerships, among others. Final considerations and implications for the practice fostering the development of skills in health promotion contributes to overcoming traditional teaching models and health practices; however, political, institutional and social aspects highlight the need for caution in the development of studies based on training of multidisciplinary teams, representing study limitations.

RESUMO Objetivo Verificar a confiabilidade teste-reteste do Masking Level Difference em estudantes universitárias normo-ouvintes. Método Estudo prospectivo descritivo com 78 adultos jovens do gênero feminino sem queixas auditivas, submetidas à versão, em compact disc, do Masking Level Difference da Auditec of Saint Louis. O Masking Level Difference foi determinado por meio da diferença entre as relações sinal-ruído nos limiares auditivos encontrados nas condições antifásica e homofásica. O teste foi aplicado pelo mesmo examinador em dois momentos (teste e reteste) com intervalo de sete a 14 dias entre eles. A análise estatística inferencial incluiu comparação das situações teste e reteste por meio do teste t de Student para amostras pareadas, cálculo do coeficiente de correlação intraclasse e dos intervalos de confiança de 95% para as relações sinal/ruído nos limiares auditivos nas condições antifásica e homofásica e para o cálculo do Masking Level Difference. Resultados A média da relação sinal-ruído no limiar auditivo na condição homofásica foi -12,59 dB e -12,46 dB nas situações teste e reteste, respectivamente, e -21,54 dB e -21,08 dB na condição antifásica. A média do Masking Level Difference foi 8,95 dB no teste e 8,74 dB no reteste. Os coeficientes de correlação intraclasse obtidos foram 0,436, 0,625 e 0,577 para as condições homofásica, antifásica e Masking Level Difference, respectivamente. Conclusão O teste Masking Level Difference mostrou grau moderado de confiabilidade teste-reteste em estudantes universitárias normo-ouvintes.

ABSTRACT Purpose To verify the test-retest reliability of the Masking Level Difference in normal hearing female university students. Methods Prospective descriptive study with 78 young female adults without hearing complaints, submitted to the compact disc version of the Masking Level Difference by Auditec of Saint Louis. The threshold was determined by the difference between signal-to-noise ratios at hearing thresholds found in the antiphasic and homophasic conditions. The test was applied by the same examiner in two moments (test and retest) with an interval of seven to 14 days between them. Inferential statistical analysis included comparison of test and retest situations using Student's t test for paired samples, calculation of the intraclass correlation coefficient and calculation of 95% confidence intervals for signal-to-noise ratios at hearing thresholds found in the antiphasic and homophasic conditions and for masking level difference. Results The average signal-to-noise ratio at hearing threshold in the homophasic condition was -12.59 dB and -12.46 dB in the Test and Retest situations, respectively, and -21.54 dB and -21.08 dB in the antiphasic condition. The average value in the final Masking Level Difference result was 8.95 dB in the Test and 8.74 dB in the Retest. Intraclass correlation coefficient values obtained were 0.436, 0.625 and 0.577 for homophasic, antiphasic and Masking Level Difference conditions, respectively. Conclusion The Masking Level Difference showed moderate test-retest reliability in normal hearing adults female university students.

ABSTRACT: We evaluated the compatibility between two nitrogen–fixing Bradyrhizobium inoculant strains and phosphate–solubilizing fungal strains and the effect of co–inoculation of these bacterial and fungal strains on cowpea growth under different N and P conditions. First, the compatibility between Bradyrhizobium strains UFLA03–84 and INPA03–11B and fungi Haematonectria ipomoeae FSA381, Eleutherascus lectardii FSA257a, Pochonia chlamydosporia var. catenulata FSA109, and Acremonium polychromum FSA115 was tested in both solid and liquid media. Cowpea growth and nodulation promotion under two mineral N doses and two P conditions (a low dose of soluble P plus a high dose of Ca3(PO4)2 and another condition with a high dose of soluble P) were tested with two N2 fixing Bradyrhizobium strains co–inoculated with each of the P–solubilizing fungal strains FSA109, FSA115, and FSA381. There was compatibility between each fungal strain and the two Bradyrhizobium strains, except for FSA257a with either of the bacterial strains in liquid medium. When both mineral N and P were limiting, plants were able to grow and accumulate N and P based on biological N2 fixation and solubilization of calcium phosphate in the same amount as the mineral N and soluble phosphate. Even when both nutrients were fully available, the type of co–inoculation promoted plant growth and nutrient accumulation. The responses varied in accordance with the co–inoculated strains, the N source, and the P source, reflecting the enormous complexity of the biological interactions between plants and microorganisms, and the nutrient conditions provided by the environment.

ABSTRACT Hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) is a highly contagious viral disease commonly associated to Enteroviruses (EV). During 2018, Brazil faced massive HFMD outbreaks spread across the country. This study aimed to characterize the EV responsible for the HFMD outbreak that occurred in Paraiba State, Brazilian Northeastern region, in 2018, followed by a phylogenetic analysis to detail information on its genetic diversity. A total of 49 serum samples (one from each patient) collected from children ≤ 15 years old, clinically diagnosed with HFMD were tested for EV using conventional RT-PCR and RT-qPCR. EV infection was confirmed in 71.4% (35/49) of samples. The mean and median ages were 1.83 years and one year old, respectively. Twenty-two EV-positive samples were successfully sequenced and classified as EV-A species; 13 samples were also identified with the CV-A6 genotype. The phylogenetic analysis (VP1 region) of three samples revealed that the detected CV-A6 strains belonged to sub-lineage D3. The CV-A6 strains detected here clustered with strains from South America, Europe and West Asia strains that were also involved in HFMD cases during the 2017-2018 seasons, in addition to the previously detected Brazilian CV-A6 strains from 2012 to 2017, suggesting a global co-circulation of a set of different CV-A6 strains introduced in the country at different times. The growing circulation of the emerging CV-A6 associated with HFMD, together with the detection of more severe cases worldwide, suggests the need for a more intense surveillance system of HFMD in Brazil. In addition, this investigation was performed exclusively on serum samples, and the analysis of whole blood samples should be considered and could have shown advantages when employed in the diagnosis of enteroviral HFMD outbreaks.

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar os sentimentos positivos e negativos em relação aos domínios de um ecossistema empreendedor. Desing/Metodologia/ Abordagem: O presente trabalho caracteriza-se, como exploratório e descritivo, em relação aos procedimentos como uma pesquisa de campo, e finalmente, em relação à abordagem, como qualitativo. Resultados: A maioria dos sentimentos sobre o ecossistema empreendedor relatados na pesquisa ainda são negativos (30 sentimentos). Todavia, existem percepções positivas (14 sentimentos) acerca do arranjo. Em síntese, o domínio Recursos Humanos apresentou a maioria dos sentimentos, negativos e positivos. Isso pode ser expresso pela relevância das pessoas, os atores e os empreendedores do ecossistema, pois são os agentes de transformação das ações. No que tange aos aspectos negativos, os domínios Políticas Públicas e Cultura também receberam vários apontamentos, principalmente no sentido da busca por incentivos e políticas para a disseminação do empreendedorismo no ecossistema. Implicações práticas e sociais: Acredita-se na sua relevância teórica e prática, guiando os empreendedores para outras especificidades do ecossistema empreendedor. Originalidade: Apresenta um caráter de ineditismo no tocante a sua realização no ambiente escolhido, pois outros estudos envolvendo esta temática e o arranjo local ainda não foram realizados. Além disso, em uma busca por estudos semelhantes desenvolvidos no Brasil, foram encontrados poucos trabalhos no tocante a temática do ecossistema empreendedor (Capes, 2020) o que sinaliza possibilidade de exploração.

ABSTRACT Objective of the study To analyse the positive and negative feelings regarding the domains of an entrepreneurial ecosystem. Design/methodology/approach The present work is characterized as exploratory and descriptive in relation to the procedures as field research, and the approach is qualitative. Findings Most of the feelings regarding the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the study are negative (30 feelings). However, there are positive perceptions (14 feelings) about the arrangement. This can be seen through the importance of the people, actors and entrepreneurs in the ecosystem, as they act as agents in transforming actions. Concerning the negative aspects, the Public Policy and Culture domains also contain several indicators, mainly for the search for incentives and policies to disseminate entrepreneurship in the ecosystem. Practical & Social implications of the Study This work sought to collaborate with studies in the field of entrepreneurship, specifically, in the domains of the ecosystem. Its strength lies in its theoretical and practical relevance, guiding entrepreneurs towards other specific aspects of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Originality The study is original due to the environment in which it was conducted, unlike other studies on this theme, and the local arrangement had not yet been considered. Furthermore, regarding similar studies conducted in Brazil, few studies were found approaching this theme of the entrepreneurial ecosystem (Capes, 2020), which indicates the possibility of exploring this theme.

BACKGROUND Leishmania parasites carry a double-stranded RNA virus (Leishmania RNA virus - LRV) that has been divided in LRV1 and LRV2. OBJECTIVES Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis clinical isolates were assessed in order to determine LRV presence. METHODS Two-round polymerase chain reaction (PCR and nested PCR) was performed to detect LRV1 or LRV2 in L. (V.) braziliensis clinical isolates (n = 12). FINDINGS LRV1 was detected in three clinical isolates which was phylogenetically related to other sequences reported from other American tegumentary leishmaniasis (ATL) endemic areas of Brazil. Patients infected with L. (V.) braziliensis LRV-negative showed only cutaneous lesions while LRV-positive reported different manifestations. MAIN CONCLUSION Data presented here show for the first time that LRV1 is circulating in L. (V.) braziliensis clinical isolates from Rio de Janeiro State in Brazil.
