ABSTRACT The global reemergence of measles in 2018–2019 reinforces the relevance of high-coverage immunization to maintain the disease elimination. During an outbreak in the Sao Paulo State in 2019, several measles cases were reported in individuals who were adequately vaccinated according to the current immunization schedule recommends. This study aimed to assess measles IgG antibody seropositivity and titers in previously vaccinated adults. A cross-sectional study was conducted at CRIE-HC-FMUSP (Sao Paulo, Brazil) in 2019. It included healthy adults who had received two or more Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccines (MMR) and excluded individuals with immunocompromising conditions. Measles IgG antibodies were measured and compared by ELISA (Euroimmun®) and chemiluminescence (LIASON®). The association of seropositivity and titers with variables of interest (age, sex, profession, previous measles, number of measles-containing vaccine doses, interval between MMR doses, and time elapsed since the last MMR dose) was analyzed. A total of 162 participants were evaluated, predominantly young (median age 30 years), women (69.8%) and healthcare professionals (61.7%). The median interval between MMR doses was 13.2 years, and the median time since the last dose was 10.4 years. The seropositivity rate was 32.7% by ELISA and 75.3% by CLIA, and a strong positive correlation was found between the tests. Multivariate analyses revealed that age and time since the last dose were independently associated with positivity. Despite being a single-center evaluation, our results suggest that measles seropositivity may be lower than expected in adequately immunized adults. Seropositivity was higher among older individuals and those with a shorter time since the last MMR vaccine dose.

Resumo: O estudo investiga os aspectos epidemiológicos da hepatite B em crianças e adolescentes, discutindo os resultados encontrados à luz dos princípios da bioética. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, retrospectivo, com base em uma série temporal de casos, cujos dados de notificação foram extraídos do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) e dados de vacinação do Sistema de Informação do Programa Nacional de Imunizações - SIPNI, no período de 2011 a 2020. Foram notificados 889 casos de hepatite B na população de estudo. A maioria dos participantes encontravam-se na faixa etária de 15 a 19 anos 738 (83%), do sexo feminino 549 (62%), cor da pele parda 637 (72%) residentes na zona urbana 490 (55%) e com ensino fundamental incompleto 279 (31%). A provável fonte de infecção foi por via sexual 450 (51%). A forma clínica mais comum foi a Hepatite Crônica 496 (56%). A maioria dos contaminados com Hepatite B foram indivíduos não vacinados 298 (34%). A luz da bioética os resultados demostram que a prática da vacinação pode contemplar os princípios bioéticos, já que o grau de autonomia depende de um tipo de intervenção planejada e quanto maior a relação entre benefício e ônus, tendo em conta os princípios de beneficência e não maleficência, menos decisiva é essa autonomia.

Resumen: El estudio investiga los aspectos epidemiológicos de la hepatitis B en niños y adolescentes, discutiendo los resultados encontrados a la luz de los principios bioéticos. Se trata de un estudio transversal, retrospectivo, basado en una serie temporal de casos, cuyos datos de notificación fueron extraídos del Sistema de Información de Enfermedades de Declaración Obligatoria (SINAN) y datos de vacunación del Sistema de Información del Programa Nacional de Inmunizaciones SIPNI, desde 2011 hasta 2020. Se informaron 889 casos de hepatitis B en la población de estudio. La mayoría de los participantes tenían entre 15 y 19 años 738 (83 %), sexo femenino 549 (62 %), color de piel morena 637 (72 %), residentes en zona urbana 490 (55 ) y con educación primaria incompleta 279 (31 %). La fuente probable de infección fue a través de relaciones sexuales 450 (51%). La forma clínica más frecuente fue la Hepatitis Crónica 496 (56%). La mayoría de los infectados con Hepatitis B eran individuos no vacunados 298 (34%). A la luz de la bioética, los resultados muestran que la práctica de la vacunación puede contemplar principios bioéticos, ya que el grado de autonomía depende de un tipo de intervención planificada y mayor la relación entre beneficio y carga, teniendo en cuenta los principios de beneficencia y no maleficencia, menos decisiva es esta autonomía.

Abstract: The study investigates the epidemiological aspects of hepatitis B in children and adolescents, discussing the results found in the light of bioethical principles. This is a cross-sectional, retrospective study, based on a time series of cases, whose notification data were extracted from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) and vaccination data from the National Immunization Program Information System SIPNI, from 2011 to 2020. 889 cases of hepatitis B were reported in the study population. Most participants were aged between 15 and 19 years old 738 (83%), female 549 (62%), brown skin color 637 (72%) living in the urban area 490 (55%) and with incomplete elementary education 279 (31%). The probable source of infection was through sexual intercourse 450 (51%). The most common clinical form was Chronic Hepatitis 496 (56%). Most of those infected with Hepatitis B were unvaccinated individuals 298 (34%). In the light of bioethics, the results show that the practice of vaccination can contemplate bioethical principles, since the degree of autonomy depends on a type of planned intervention and the greater the relationship between benefit and burden, taking into account the principles of beneficence and not maleficence, the less decisive is this autonomy.

Resumo: O presente estudo trata-se de uma análise na literatura sobre o aspecto bioético da autonomia em relação a imunização contra Hepatite B e HPV na adolescência. Foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica baseada no método prisma onde foram incluídos artigos em português e inglês os quais foram pesquisados nas plataformas Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e National Library of Medicine (PUBMED), utilizando os seguintes descritores Hepatitis B Vaccines, bioethics, Humans.

Abstract: The present study is an analysis of the literature on the bioethical aspect of autonomy in relation to immunization against Hepatitis B and HPV in adolescence. A bibliographic review was carried out based on the prism method, which included articles in Portuguese and English which were searched on the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS) and the National Library of Medicine (PUBMED), using the following descriptors Hepatitis B Vaccines, bioethics, Humans. The results demonstrated the efficiency of health professionals in contacting the individual and convincing him/her through an open dialogue and creation of bonds. It was also evidenced the study evidenced the patient’s right to progressive autonomy, in which he gains the right to some choices such as immunizations of sexually transmitted diseases, such as Hepatitis B and HPV, however it is necessary for the adolescent to be educated about immunization. Therefore, the adolescent’s right to progressive autonomy is recognized, regarding the choice of immunizations against Hepatitis B and HPV, however, it must be considered that these individuals are instructed on the individual and/or collective benefits of vaccination, contemplated by health education activities by qualified professionals, aiming to expand the global coverage of immunization with diseases that characterize public health problems.

Abstract Consumers are more demanding in relation to meat quality, developing new demands, such as increased shelf life and good sensory quality. The tenderness of the meat is one of the most important elements in the choice of the product, the modification in the intrinsic structure of the meat, for example, increase of the proteolysis and fragmentation of the myofibrils contribute to the improvement of the tenderness. However, it is necessary to develop technological strategies so that this ultrasound technology can be added to improve meat tenderness. Thus, the objective of this review was to know the main aspects of the use of ultrasound and acerola residue in meat tenderness. Overall, existing research demonstrates excellent prospects for this new redesign approach.

Resumo A sonicação é amplamente utilizada para dispersão de nanomateriais em matrizes cimentícias. Aditivos superplastificantes à base de policarboxilato (SP) são geralmente incorporados na suspensão aquosa de nanomateriais antes da sonicação para melhorar a dispersão desses materiais. No entanto, o efeito da sonicação na estrutura molecular e no desempenho de dispersão do SP não foi totalmente investigado. Este trabalho avaliou o efeito da sonicação de um SP comercial a 20 kHz, potência de 750 W, amplitude de 50 e 80%, durante 15 e 30 min. Inicialmente, o efeito de sonicação foi avaliado em suspensão aquosa, determinando a distribuição de tamanho do SP (através de espalhamento dinâmico de luz – DLS) e potencial zeta. Posteriormente, as suspensões aquosas de SP foram utilizadas para a produção de pastas de cimento Portland. Foram realizados ensaios reológicos durante os primeiros 120 minutos de hidratação e a resistência à compressão foi avaliada aos 14 e 28 dias. Os resultados do potencial zeta e DLS sugeriram que a sonicação reduz o tamanho das cadeias de SP. Como resultado, a sonicação do SP aumentou a tensão de escoamento dinâmica inicial, a viscosidade e a área de histerese das pastas de cimento. Em contraste, a sonicação SP melhorou seu desempenho de dispersão ao longo do tempo, resultando em pastas com viscosidade reduzida a partir de 80 minutos. Finalmente, a sonicação SP não afetou a resistência à compressão das pastas de cimento aos 14 e 28 dias de hidratação. Em geral, quando o SP é disperso via sonicação juntamente com nanopartículas para aplicação em matrizes cimentícias, o efeito de sonicação do aditivo químico deve ser levado em consideração quando as propriedades de estado fresco do compósito são avaliadas.

Abstract Sonication is widely used for nanomaterials dispersion in cementitious matrices. Polycarboxylate-based superplasticizer (SP) admixtures are usually incorporated in the aqueous nanomaterials suspension before sonication to improve the dispersion of these materials. Nevertheless, the effect of sonicating SP on its molecular structure or dispersing performance has not been fully investigated. This work assessed the effect of sonicating a commercial SP at 20 kHz, 750 W power, 50 or 80% amplitude, during 15 and 30 min. Initially, the sonication effect was evaluated in aqueous suspension by determining the SP size distribution (through dynamic light scattering – DLS) and zeta potential. Subsequently, the aqueous SP suspensions were used for Portland cement paste production. Rheological tests up to 120 minutes and compressive strength at 14 and 28 days were conducted. DLS and zeta potential results suggested that sonication reduce the size of SP chains. As a result, SP sonication increased the initial dynamic yield stress, viscosity, and hysteresis area of cement pastes. In contrast, SP sonication improved its time-dependent dispersing performance, resulting in pastes with reduced viscosity from 80 minutes onwards. Finally, SP sonication did not affect the compressive strength of cement pastes at 14 and 28 days of hydration. Overall, when SP is sonicated together with nanoparticles for application in cementitious matrices, the effect of sonicating the chemical admixture must be considered when the fresh-state properties of the composite are evaluated.

Abstract This work aims to evaluate, at different stages, the productive performance, carcass quality, and intestinal biometry of European quails (Coturnix coturnix Coturnix), consuming diets with increasing levels of seaweed bran (Sargassum sp). A total of 240 European quail chicks (Coturnix coturnix Coturnix) were distributed in a completely randomized design, with four levels of bran inclusion (0.0, 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5%), 6 replications with 10 birds in each experimental plot. In the period from 1 to 21 days, the feed intake of the control group was higher, with lower water consumption. In the period from 22 to 42 days, feed and water consumption increased with the inclusion of seaweed, but with a reduction in weight gain. In the total period, water consumption was higher at the level of 2.5 and 7.5%, with lower consumption in the control group, with a small reduction in slaughter and carcass weight with the inclusion of bran. There was no difference (P > 0.05) in carcass quality and intestinal biometry. We recommended the inclusion of up to 7.5% of sargassum meal in the diet of European quails at all stages, without compromising its productive performance, carcass quality, and intestinal biometry.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the health conditions and functional capacity of older adults living in long-term care units in Maceió City – Alagoas State. Methods: A prospective cohort was conducted with institutionalized older adults of both sexes. Older adults were assessed for clinical conditions (diagnosis of chronic diseases and biochemical tests), functional capacity, and nutritional status. All assessments were repeated on two occasions, maintaining a 6-month interval between them. Results: The sample was composed of 289 older adults. Of the total, 98 (33.9%) were positive for COVID-19 and eight died (2.8%). Men were more likely to have COVID-19 (OR = 3.50; p < 0.01). It was observed that the disease contributed to increasing the frequency of dependent older adults after six months (OR = 1.38; p-interaction < 0.01). It was also observed that after six months of positive diagnosis for COVID-19, there was greater weight loss (p < 0.01), reduced BMI (p < 0.01), increased mean SBP (p = 0.04), and DBP (p = 0.03). Conclusion: Effects of COVID-19 in institutionalized older adults go beyond acute complications and compromise blood pressure control, functional capacity, and favor weight loss.

Abstract Objective To identify whether there is a difference in plasma and erythrocyte zinc concentration in older adults with and without Alzheimer's disease. Methods Crosssectional study with a comparative group, conducted with older adults with and without Alzheimer's disease, matched by sex, education, and age. Zinc concentration was measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in a graphite furnace. Results There were 102 people, 68 in the healthy group (NDA-g) and 34 in the group with disease (AD-g). The AD-g group had lower plasma zinc concentrations and higher frequency in the first quartile for intraerythrocyte zinc concentrations. Plasma and erythrocyte concentrations did not correlate with the time of diagnosis and age in both groups. In the logistic regression analysis, plasma concentration was associated with AD-g (OR=0.964; p=0.028). Conclusion Older people with Alzheimer's disease have lower plasma and erythrocyte zinc concentrations.

Resumo Objetivo Identificar se há diferença na concentração plasmática e eritrocitária de zinco na pessoa idosa com e sem a doença de Alzheimer. Métodos Estudo transversal com grupo comparação, realizado com pessoas idosas com e sem doença de Alzheimer, pareadas por sexo, escolaridade e idade. A concentração de zinco foi medida através de espectrofotometria de absorção atômica em forno grafite. Resultados Total de 102 pessoas, 68 no grupo saudável (NDA-g) e 34 o grupo com doença (DA-g). O grupo DA-g apresentou menores concentrações plasmáticas e maior frequência no primeiro quartil para concentrações intraeritrocitárias de zinco. As concentrações plasmáticas e eritrocitárias não apresentaram correlação com tempo de diagnóstico e a idade em ambos os grupos. Na análise de regressão logística, a concentração plasmática esteve associada à DA-g (OR=0,964; p=0,028). Conclusão Pessoas idosas com doença de Alzheimer apresentam menores concentrações plasmáticas e eritrocitárias de zinco.

Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the acquisition of surgical skills by otolaryngology residents and established the minimum number of dissections of a lamb’s model to be performed before practicing on human patients. Methods: Nineteen second-year otolaryngology residents performed ten dissections each, five on each nasal cavity, always practicing the same three surgical procedures on the lamb model. Each student’s training lasted 2-months, and the entire training intervention lasted 4-years, over four generations of residents. All dissections were recorded and were selected at random for examination by two independent otolaryngology surgeons, who were otherwise not involved in the research. Assessment of the 190 dissections used an instrument validated for surgical training of medical residents. Results: To a 1% significance level, statistical analysis revealed increased performance and satisfactory results were observed after the sixth dissection. Furthermore, after the eighth dissection, skill acquisition was relevant and sustained. Conclusion: Training in endoscopic nasal surgery on a lamb’s head model improves surgical skills and handling of surgical instruments. Our results showed the relevance of the lamb model for training in otolaryngology surgery, impacting on patient safety. Level of evidence: 2.

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the possible modifications due to industrial processing in the volatiles (HS-SPME/GC-MS), bioactive compounds (content total, and phenolic profile by UFLC-DAD) and antioxidant capacity (ABTS, DPPH, FRAP, ORAC) of fresh and processed mango pulp with addition of additives, pasteurized, and pasteurized with additives. The physicochemical characteristics of the samples were evaluated. All parameters were significantly (p≤0.05) affected by processing. According to the PCA analysis, the stability of the samples was influenced by the thermal processing and the work clearly demonstrated the separation between the analyzed samples as a function of the effect of thermal processing. It is concluded that industrial processing, although important for the preservation of useful life and maintenance of the microbiological quality of mango pulp, influence the functional and aromatic properties, causing a significant reduction in the volatile and bioactive compounds, which can negatively influence the acceptance of the processed product by consumers.

ABSTRACT Background: The Neural Clinical Score for tuberculosis (NCS-TB) is a computer system developed to improve the triage of presumed pulmonary TB (pPTB). Methods: A study was performed with cohorts of pPTB patients cared for at a reference hospital in Northeast Brazil. Results: The NCS-TB sensitivity was 76.5% for TB diagnosis, which shortened the time from triage to smear microscopy results (3.3 to 2.5 days; p<0.001) and therapy initiation (6.7 to 4.1 days; p=0.045). Conclusions: Although the NCS-TB was not suitable as a screening tool, it was able to optimize laboratory diagnosis and shorten the time to treatment initiation.

RESUMO Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar a incorporação da nanossílica (NS) em argamassas de reboco produzidas com agregado fino reciclado (RFA). Inicialmente, foi realizado um estudo em pastas cimentícias substituindo o cimento Portland por NS nos teores de 0%, 0,4%, 0,6%, 0,8% e 1,0%. As amostras foram submetidas a análises de espalhamento, reologia, calorimetria, difração de raios X (DRX), espectroscopia de infravermelho por transformada de Fourier (FTIR) e resistência à compressão aos 28 dias. Os resultados demonstraram que as pastas com 0,4% NS e 0,6% NS apresentaram aumento de resistência de 55% e 58%, respectivamente, devido à maior formação de silicato de cálcio hidratado (C-S-H), quando comparada à pasta de referência. Diante disso, foram produzidas as amostras de RFA, substituindo o cimento Portland por 0% NS, 0,4% NS e 0,6% NS. Aos 28 dias, o desempenho mecânico, a microestrutura e a durabilidade foram avaliados por meio da resistência à flexão e compressão, microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV), módulo de elasticidade dinâmico e absorção de água por capilaridade. A partir dos resultados, concluiu-se que as amostras de RFA com 0,4% NS resultaram no teor ótimo de nanossílica, produzindo um aumento na resistência à compressão e redução na sorptividade de água, em relação às demais misturas. As imagens de MEV sugerem que NS reagiu com a portlandita formada a partir da hidratação do cimento, resultando em um enchimento eficiente dos poros do RFA, melhorando o desenvolvimento microestrutural das amostras.

ABSTRACT This paper evaluated the incorporation of nanosilica (NS) in rendering mortars produced with recycled fine aggregate (RFA). Initially, a study was carried out on cementitious pastes, replacing Portland cement with NS at levels of 0%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, and 1.0%. The samples were submitted to scattering, rheology, calorimetry, x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and compressive strength analysis at 28 days. The results demonstrated that the pastes with 0.4% NS and 0.6% NS presented an increase in strength of 55% and 58%, respectively, due to a greater formation of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H), when compared with the reference paste. From that, the RFA samples were produced, replacing Portland cement with 0% NS, 0.4% NS, and 0.6% NS. At 28 days, mechanical performance, microstructure, and durability were evaluated by means of flexural strength and compression, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic elasticity module, and water absorption by capillarity. From the results, it was concluded that the RFA samples with 0.4% NS resulted in the optimal nanosilica content, increasing compressive strength values and reducing the sorptivity, in relation to the other mixtures. The SEM images suggest that NS reacted with portlandite formed of the cement hydration, improving the microstructural development of the samples.

RESUMO Objetivo: analisar as implicações psicossociais decorrentes da pandemia da COVID-19, relatadas em atendimento online, pela ótica dos conceitos de biopoder, biopolítica e de governamentalidade de Michel Foucault. Método: pesquisa qualitativa do tipo documental, com a análise dos registros de prontuários de usuários atendidos em um chat de escuta terapêutica, entre abril e outubro de 2020. Resultados: os dados foram organizados em duas temáticas: Governamentalidade na pandemia de COVID-19 e a produção de implicações psicossociais de ansiedade e medo e Disciplinarizações e sujeições na pandemia de COVID-19: subjetividades marcadas pela tristeza e angústia. A primeira demonstra que a “arte de governar” no Brasil produziu instabilidades e incertezas que influenciaram na produção do medo da contaminação/morte/e não acesso ao tratamento e ansiedade. Na segunda temática, percebe-se como o controle disciplinar e a regulamentação biopolítica se combinam. No Brasil, um país extremamente desigual, tem-se produzido sujeição e subjetividades marcadas pela angústia, sentimentos de desânimo e tristeza. Conclusão: os processos excludentes foram aprofundados na pandemia, com exercício de uma biopolítica que precariza a vida e produz sofrimento psíquico.

Abstract Objective: to analyze the psychosocial implications arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, reported in online service, from the perspective of Michel Foucault’s concepts of biopower, biopolitics and governmentality. Method: qualitative documental research, with analysis of medical records of users assisted in a therapeutic listening chat, between April and October 2020. Results: the data were organized into two themes: Governmentality in the COVID-19 pandemic and the production of psychosocial implications of anxiety and fear and Discipline and subjection in the COVID-19 pandemic: subjectivities marked by sadness and anguish. The first demonstrates that the “art of governing” in Brazil produced instabilities and uncertainties that influenced the production of fear of contamination/death/and non-access to treatment and anxiety. In the second theme, we can see how disciplinary control and biopolitical regulation are combined. In Brazil, an extremely unequal country, subjectivity and subjectivities marked by anguish, feelings of discouragement and sadness have been produced. Conclusion: the exclusionary processes were deepened in the pandemic, with the exercise of a biopolitics that makes life precarious and produces psychological distress.

RESUMEN Objetivo: analizar las implicaciones psicosociales derivadas de la pandemia de la COVID-19, relatadas en el servicio online, desde la perspectiva de los conceptos de biopoder, biopolítica y gubernamentalidad de Michel Foucault. Método: investigación documental cualitativa, con análisis de prontuarios de usuarios atendidos en chat de escucha terapéutica, entre abril y octubre de 2020. Resultados: los datos fueron organizados en dos temas: Gubernamentalidad en la pandemia de la COVID-19 y la producción de implicaciones psicosociales de la ansiedad y el miedo y Disciplinas y sujeciones en la pandemia de la COVID-19: subjetividades marcadas por la tristeza y la angustia. El primero demuestra que el “arte de gobernar” en Brasil produjo inestabilidades e incertidumbres que influyeron en la producción de miedo a la contaminación/muerte/y no acceso al tratamiento y ansiedad. En el segundo tema, podemos ver cómo se combinan el control disciplinario y la regulación biopolítica. En Brasil, país sumamente desigual, se han producido subjetividades y subjetividades marcadas por la angustia, sentimientos de desánimo y tristeza. Conclusión: los procesos de exclusión se profundizaron en la pandemia, con el ejercicio de una biopolítica que precariza la vida y produce sufrimiento psíquico.

Abstract Background: Surveillance of multidrug resistant/extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/XDR-TB) is essential to guide disease dissemination control measures. Brazil contributes to a significant fraction of tuberculosis (TB) cases worldwide, but only few reports addressed MDR/XDR-TB in the country. Methods: This cross-sectional, laboratory-based study describes the phenotypic resistance profiles of isolates obtained between January 2008 and December 2011 in Bahia, Brazil, and sociodemographic, epidemiological, and clinical characteristics (obtained from mandatory national registries) of the corresponding 204 MDR/XDR-TB patients. We analyzed the mycobacterial spoligotyping and variable number of tandem repeats of mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units in 12-loci profiles obtained from Salvador. Results: MDR/XDR-TB patients were predominantly male, had a median age of 43 years, belonged to black ethnicity, and failed treatment before MDR-TB diagnosis. Nearly one-third of the isolates had phenotypic resistance (evaluated by mycobacteria growth indicator tube assay) to second-line anti-TB drugs (64/204, 31%), of which 22% cases (14/64) were diagnosed as XDR-TB. Death was a frequent outcome among these individuals and was associated with resistance to second-line anti-TB drugs. Most isolates successfully genotyped belonged to the Latin-American Mediterranean (LAM) Family, with an unprecedented high proportion of LAM10-Cameroon subfamily bacilli. More than half of these isolates were assigned to a unique cluster by the genotyping methods performed. Large clusters of identical genotypes were also observed among LAM SIT42 and SIT376 strains. Conclusions: We highlight the need for strengthening local and national efforts to perform early detection of TB drug resistance and to prevent treatment discontinuation to limit the emergence of drug-resistant strains.

Resumo Este artigo investiga a relação corpo, arte e loucura na obra de Arthur Bispo do Rosário, pelo referencial teórico psicanalítico freud-lacaniano em diálogo com outros campos do saber, a partir das seguintes interrogações: de que maneira a psicanálise dialoga com a temática da arte? Qual o estatuto da arte na psicose? Como sujeitos psicóticos fazem uso da arte, pela via das invenções, a fim de lidar com o corpo e estabilizar seu sofrimento psíquico? Nesse sentido, traçamos considerações sobre o estatuto da arte na psicanálise, levantamos algumas contribuições histórico-filosóficas sobre a relação entre arte e loucura e apreciamos a obra de Bispo à luz das proposições de Jacques Alain-Miller, com vistas a compreender os modos através dos quais a arte produzida por sujeitos em sofrimento psíquico pode servir de anteparo à loucura e favorecer a forma como eles lidam com seu corpo.

Abstract This essay investigates the relations between body, art, and madness in Arthur Bispo do Rosário’s oeuvre based on the Freudian-Lacanian psychoanalytic theoretical reference, in dialogue with other fields of knowledge, drawing on the following interrogations: in what ways does psychoanalysis dialogues with the theme of art? What is the status of art in psychosis? How do psychotic individuals use art, through inventions, to deal with the body and stabilize their psychic suffering? In this regard, this paper discusses the status of art in psychoanalysis, brings some historical-philosophical contributions to the relationship between art and madness, and interprets his work in the light of Jacques Alain-Miller’s propositions, to understand the ways in which the art produced by subjects in psychological distress can serve as a buffer to madness and favor how they deal with their bodies.

Resumen Este artículo analiza la relación entre cuerpo, arte y locura en la obra de Arthur Bispo do Rosario, por el referencial teórico psicoanalítico freud-lacaniano en diálogo con otros campos del saber, partiendo de los siguientes interrogantes: ¿De qué manera el psicoanálisis dialoga con la temática del arte? ¿Cuál es el estatuto del arte en la psicosis? ¿Cómo sujetos psicóticos hacen uso del arte, por la vía de las invenciones, a fin de tratar con el cuerpo y estabilizar su sufrimiento psíquico? Para ello, trazamos consideraciones sobre el estatuto del arte en el psicoanálisis, levantamos algunas contribuciones histórico-filosóficas sobre la relación arte y locura y apreciamos la obra de Bispo a la luz de las proposiciones de Jacques Alain-Miller, con miras a comprender los modos a través de los cuales el arte producido por sujetos en sufrimiento psíquico puede servir de amparo a la locura y favorecer la forma de cómo lidian con su cuerpo.

Résumé Cet essai étudie les relations le corps, l’art et la folie chez Arthur Bispo do Rosário à partir de la référence théorique psychanalytique freudienne-lacanienne, en dialogue avec d’autres domaines de connaissance, en s’appuyant sur les interrogations suivantes : de quelle manière la psychanalyse dialogue-t-elle avec le thème de l’art ? Quel est le statut de l’art dans la psychose ? Comment les individus psychotiques utilisent-ils l’art, à travers des inventions, pour faire face au corps et stabiliser leur souffrance psychique ? À cet égard, cet article discute du statut de l’art dans la psychanalyse, apporte quelques contributions historico-philosophiques à la relation entre l’art et la folie, et interprète son travail à la lumière des propositions de Jacques Alain-Miller, afin de comprendre comment l’art produit par les sujets en souffrance psychique peut servir de tampon à la folie et favoriser la façon dont ils font face à leur corps.
