Abstract Introduction Anal examination and videoanoscopy (VA) are rarely performed during colonoscopies. In recent years, there has been a considerable increase in lesions of sexually transmitted anal and rectal infections, but these conditions are not noticed or reported during routine colonoscopy. Objective To raise awareness regarding the fortuitous findings of lesions and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in colonoscopy exams and to demonstrate that anal examination and VA provide important information and should be routinely performed. Methods We conducted a descriptive retrospective study in 16,132 patients screened by colonoscopy and VA between 2006 and 2018. Among numerous other findings, the presence of anal condylomata and sexually transmitted retitis or perianal dermatitis was observed. The rates of each finding were calculated, and the patients were subdivided by sex and into age groups by blocks of ten years. Results Among the 16,132 colonoscopies performed, 26 cases of condyloma (0.16%) and 50 cases of proctitis or perianal dermatitis suspicious for STI (0.33%) were found. Conclusion Performing anal examination and VA systematically in all routine colonoscopies enabled the identification of numerous anal conditions, including several fortuitous cases of STIs. The study proposes that anal examination and VA should be performed in all routine colonoscopies and, in suspected cases, complementary tests for STIs.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of functional constipation and its relationship with the food intake, overweight status, and physical activity of children. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included students from two public schools in the municipality of Osasco, which is located in the metropolitan area of São Paulo. Functional constipation was diagnosed if the clinical manifestations of the Rome IV criteria were present for more than 2 months. A 24-h recall survey was used to determine the daily food intake. Weight, height, abdominal circumference, and bioelectrical impedance were used to evaluate the weight status. Active commuting to school and physical activity scores were assessed using a questionnaire that has been validated in Brazil. RESULTS: A total of 452 children, aged 6–12 years, were evaluated. Functional constipation was observed in 22.3% of participants. A greater abdominal circumference was associated with functional constipation in girls (p=0.036) in the bivariate analysis but not in the logistic regression model. Boys with functional constipation consumed higher quantities of fats (p=0.041). There was no statistically significant relationship between functional constipation and overweight status (44.6 and 34.5% of children with and without constipation, respectively; p=0.083) and active commuting to school (48.5 and 56.7% of children with and without constipation, respectively; p=0.179). CONCLUSION: Functional constipation was associated with a greater abdominal circumference in girls in the bivariate analysis, however, without association in the logistic regression model. Boys with functional constipation consumed higher quantities of fat. No association was found between functional constipation, overweight status, and physical activity.

ABSTRACT The historic flight of cosmonaut Yuri Alekeseyevich Gagarin, in 1961, established the need for research regarding the physiological adaptations of the human body when exposed to the space environment. Since then, several morpho-functional transformations – varying between normal and pathological – have been identified within the organisms of astronauts subjected to the extremely disparate environments of the cosmos, consequently, comprehension and preparation of these transformations becomes essential, considering the possibilities (1) of returning to the Moon and (2) of initiating the trip to Mars. Accordingly, the purpose of this article – conceived as a narrative literature review – is to present the main aspects of the physiological modifications within the human body due to the extraterrestrial environment, with emphasis on cardiovascular, renal, hydroelectrolytic, hematological, immunological, respiratory, neurological, psychological, sensory, gastrointestinal, endocrine, musculoskeletal, integumentary, and genetic adaptations.

RESUMO Contexto O índice de Taxa de Fadiga (ITF) é um parâmetro na manometria anorretal (MAR) que é utilizado para avaliar a contração voluntária sustentada, considerando a pressão máxima de contração e a fatigabilidade do esfíncter anal externo. Este parâmetro é utilizado em adultos para diagnóstico da incontinência fecal mesmo entre paciente que apresentem pressões máximas de contração normais. O ITF em pacientes adultos com constipação é similar a controles. Objetivo: Avaliar a factibilidade e os valores do ITF em crianças com constipação e incontinência fecal por retenção em relação aos valores previamente estabelecidos para adultos, e comparar os dados das crianças com constipação intestinal funcional com e sem incontinência fecal por retenção. Métodos Este estudo retrospectivo avaliou 105 MAR realizadas de janeiro de 2014 a abril de 2015. 42 pacientes foram selecionados (foram capazes de realizar uma contração voluntária e não apresentavam outras comorbidades além da constipação). 14 destes pacientes cooperaram em manter a contração voluntária por 40 segundos, permitindo a avaliação do ITF. Pacientes com incontinência fecal por retenção secundária a constipação (n=7, 6 a 13 anos, seis meninos) constituíram nosso grupo de interesse. Pacientes com constipação funcional sem incontinência fecal por retenção. (n=7, 6 a 13 anos, quatro meninos) constituíram o grupo de referência. As MAR foram realizadas com cateter de perfusão de oito canais radiais (DynamedTM, São Paulo, Brazil) e o ITF foi calculado (Proctomaster 6.4) nos primeiros 20 segundos e também nos 40 segundos totais da contração voluntária sustentada. Resultados: Dos 42 pacientes selecionados, 14 (33%) colaboraram mantendo o platô de contração uniforme durante 40 segundos, permitindo a avaliação do ITF nos primeiros 20 segundos de contração, o grupo com incontinência fecal apresentou uma média de ITF significativamente mais alta (2,48±1,39 min) em comparação ao grupo de referência (1,13±0,72 min, P=0,042), o que não foi observado no intervalo de 40 segundos devido a contração menos uniforme. A pressão anal de repouso foi mais elevada no grupo com incontinência fecal (76,83 mmHg) do que no grupo de referência (54,13 mmHg), porém o estudo estatístico não atingiu significância (P=0,051). Conclusão: O ITF é factível em crianças. A média do ITF obtida neste estudo é mais baixa do que o reportado em adultos constipados (2,8 min). A média do ITF entre crianças constipadas com incontinência fecal por retenção fui superior ao do que observado em crianças constipadas sem incontinência fecal retentiva.

ABSTRACT Background: The Fatigue Rate Index (FRI) is a parameter in anorectal manometry (ARM) to assess sustained voluntary contraction, considering the squeeze pressure and fatigability of the external anal sphincter. It is used in adults to detect fecal incontinence even in patients who present normal squeeze pressures. The FRI in adult patients with functional constipation is similar to controls. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and values of FRI in children in relation to the values previously established in adults and comparing children with functional constipation and retentive fecal incontinence to children without retentive fecal incontinence. Methods: This retrospective study evaluated 105 ARM performed from Jan 2014 to Apr 2015. 42 patients were selected (were able to perform a voluntary contraction and had no co-morbidities other than functional constipation). 14 (33.3%) of those collaborated in sustaining contraction for 40 seconds (s), allowing the evaluation of the FRI. Patients with retentive fecal incontinence secondary to functional constipation (n=7, aged 6 to 13 years, six boys) were our interest group. Patients with functional constipation without fecal incontinence (n=7, aged 6 to 13 years, four boys) were considered a reference group. The ARM were performed with a radial eight-channel perfusion catheter (DynamedTM, São Paulo, Brazil) and the FRI was calculated (Proctomaster 6.4) in the first 20 s and overall 40 s of sustained voluntary contraction. Results: 14 of the selected 42 collaborated in sustaining contraction for 40 s, allowing the evaluation of the FRI. In the first 20 s of contraction, the fecal incontinence group showed a significantly higher mean FRI (2.48±1.39 min) compared to the reference group (1.13±0.72 min, P=0.042), which was not observed in the 40 s interval due to less uniform contraction. The anal resting pressure was higher in the fecal incontinence group (76.83 mmHg) than in the reference group (54.13 mmHg), but the statistical study did not reach significance (P=0.051). Conclusion: The FRI is feasible in children. The mean FRI obtained in this study is lower than the reported in constipated adults. The mean FRI among children with functional constipation and retentive fecal incontinence is higher than among constipated children without retentive fecal incontinence.

Abstract Background Migraine affects 1 billion people worldwide and > 30 million Brazilians; besides, it is an underdiagnosed and undertreated disorder. Objective The need to disseminate knowledge about the prophylactic treatment of migraine is known, so the Brazilian Headache Society (SBCe, in the Portuguese acronym) appointed a committee of authors with the objective of establishing a consensus with recommendations on the prophylactic treatment of episodic migraine based on articles from the world literature as well as from personal experience. Methods Meetings were held entirely online, with the participation of 12 groups that reviewed and wrote about the pharmacological categories of drugs and, at the end, met to read and finish the document. The drug classes studied in part II of this Consensus were: antihypertensives, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, other drugs, and rational polytherapy. Results From this list of drugs, only candesartan has been established as effective in controlling episodic migraine. Flunarizine, venlafaxine, duloxetine, and pizotifen were defined as likely to be effective, while lisinopril, enalapril, escitalopram, fluvoxamine, quetiapine, atorvastatin, simvastatin, cyproheptadine, and melatonin were possibly effective in prophylaxis of the disease. Conclusions Despite an effort by the scientific community to find really effective drugs in the treatment of migraine, given the large number of drugs tested for this purpose, we still have few therapeutic options.

Resumo Antecedentes Migrânea afeta um bilhão de pessoas em todo o mundo e mais de 30 milhões de brasileiros; além disso, é um distúrbio subdiagnosticado e subtratado. Objetivo Sabe-se sobre a necessidade de difundir o conhecimento sobre o tratamento profilático da migrânea; por isso, a Sociedade Brasileira de Cefaleias (SBCe) nomeou um comitê de autores com o objetivo de estabelecer um consenso com recomendações sobre o tratamento profilático da migrânea episódica com base em artigos da literatura mundial, assim como da experiência pessoal. Métodos As reuniões foram realizadas inteiramente online, com a participação de 12 grupos que revisaram e escreveram sobre as categorias farmacológicas dos medicamentos e, ao final, reuniram-se para a leitura e conclusão do documento. As classes de medicamentos estudadas na parte II deste Consenso foram: anti-hipertensivos, inibidores seletivos de recaptação de serotonina, inibidores de recaptação de serotonina e noradrenalina, bloqueadores dos canais de cálcio, outros medicamentos e politerapia racional. Resultados Desta lista de medicamentos, apenas o candesartan foi estabelecido como eficaz no controle da migrânea episódica. Flunarizina, venlafaxina, duloxetina e pizotifeno foram definidos como provavelmente eficazes, enquanto lisinopril, enalapril, escitalopram, fluvoxamina, quetiapina, atorvastatina, sinvastatina, ciproheptadina e melatonina foram possivelmente eficazes na profilaxia da doença. Conclusões Apesar do esforço da comunidade científica em encontrarmedicamentos realmente eficazes no tratamento da migrânea, dado o grande número de medicamentos testados para este fim, ainda dispomos de poucas opções terapêuticas.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are defined as a variable combination of chronic or recurrent gastrointestinal symptoms that are not explained by structural or biochemical abnormalities. Their relationship with prematurity has been increasingly studied. OBJECTIVE: To compare the frequency of FGIDs in preterm and term infants and to evaluate whether invasive procedures during the neonatal period in preterm infants are associated with greater likelihood of FGIDs in the first two years of life. DESIGN AND SETTING: Controlled nested cross-sectional study conducted in a Brazilian university hospital. METHODS: This was a controlled nested cross-sectional study on a retrospective cohort of infants born preterm who were compared with infants born at term regarding the presence of FGIDs. Medical consultations were conducted by a single pediatric gastroenterologist to obtain information on the gestational and neonatal periods and on clinical manifestations of the digestive tract. The Rome IV criteria for the diagnosis of FGIDs were used. RESULTS: A total of 197 infants (< 24 months), including 99 preterm and 98 term infants, were studied. Infant regurgitation was more prevalent in term infants (35.1% and 15.6%; P < 0.001). The frequencies of other FGIDs (infant colic, functional constipation, functional diarrhea and infant dyschezia) in preterm infants did not differ from those of term infants (P > 0.05). No relationship was found between invasive procedures during the neonatal period and development of FGIDs in preterm infants. CONCLUSION: Infants born preterm did not have higher frequency of FGIDs in the first two years of life.

Abstract The Brazilian Headache Society (Sociedade Brasileira de Cefaleia, SBCe, in Portuguese) nominated a Committee of Authors with the aim of establishing a consensus with recommendations regarding prophylactic treatment for episodic migraine based on articles published in the worldwide literature, as well as personal experience. Migraine affects 1 billion people around the world and more than 30 million Brazilians. In addition, it is an underdiagnosed and undertreated disorder. It is well known within the medical community of neurologists, and especially among headache specialists, that there is a need to disseminate knowledge about prophylactic treatment for migraine. For this purpose, together with the need for drug updates and to expand knowledge of the disease itself (frequency, intensity, duration, impact and perhaps the progression of migraine), this Consensus was developed, following a full online methodology, by 12 groups who reviewed and wrote about the pharmacological categories of the drugs used and, at the end of the process, met to read and establish conclusions for this document. The drug classes studied were: anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, monoclonal anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide (anti-CGRP) antibodies, beta-blockers, antihypertensives, calcium channel inhibitors, other antidepressants (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, SSRIs, and dual-action antidepressants), other drugs, and polytherapy. Hormonal treatment and anti-inflammatories and triptans in minimum prophylaxis schemes (miniprophylaxis) will be covered in a specific chapter. The drug classes studied for part I of the Consensus were: anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, monoclonal anti-CGRP antibodies, and beta-blockers.

Resumo A Sociedade Brasileira de Cefaleia (SBCe) nomeou um Comitê de Autores com o objetivo de estabelecer um consenso com recomendações sobre o tratamento profilático da enxaqueca episódica com base em artigos da literatura mundial e da experiência pessoal. A enxaqueca é um distúrbio subdiagnosticado e subtratado que acomete um bilhão de pessoas no mundo e mais de 30 milhões de brasileiros. É conhecido na comunidade médica de neurologistas e, sobretudo, dos especialistas em cefaleia, a necessidade de se divulgar o conhecimento sobre o tratamento profilático da enxaqueca. Com esta finalidade, aliada às necessidades de atualizações de drogas e de se aumentar o conhecimento sobre a doença em si (frequência, intensidade, duração, impacto e talvez a progressão da enxaqueca), foi elaborado este Consenso, com metodologia totalmente on-line, por 12 grupos que revisaram e escreveram sobre as categorias farmacológicas das drogas e, ao final, reuniram-se para a leitura e conclusão do documento. As classes de drogas estudadas para este Consenso foram: anticonvulsivantes, antidepressivos tricíclicos, anticorpos monoclonais do antipeptídeo relacionado ao gene da calcitonina (peptídeo relacionado ao gene da calcitonina — anti-CGRP), betabloqueadores, anti-hipertensivos, inibidores dos canais de cálcio, outros antidepressivos (inibidores seletivos de recaptação de serotonina, ISRSs, e antidepressivos de ação dual), outras drogas, e politerapia. O tratamento hormonal, bem como anti-inflamatórios e triptanas em esquema de profilaxia mínima (miniprofilaxia), será abordado em um capítulo próprio. As classes de drogas estudadas na parte I do Consenso foram: anticonvulsivantes, antidepressivos tricíclicos, anticorpos monoclonais anti-CGRP, e betabloqueadores.

RESUMO Contexto: Diagnóstico precoce da constipação intestinal funcional é importante para reduzir suas consequências negativas para a saúde da criança e do adolescente. Objetivo: Descrever o espectro clínico da constipação intestinal funcional e o hábito intestinal de crianças recrutadas em escola de primeiro grau e de pacientes atendidos em ambulatório especializado de gastroenterologia pediátrica. Métodos: Estudo observacional que avaliou 452 alunos de duas escolas públicas da cidade de Osasco e 81 pacientes atendidos em ambulatório especializado em gastroenterologia pediátrica com constipação intestinal funcional. Todas as crianças tinham idade entre 6 e 12 anos. Foram utilizados os critérios de Roma IV (duas manifestações clínicas por mais de 1 mês) e a escala de Bristol. Resultados: Na escola constatou-se que 22,3% (101) das crianças apresentavam constipação intestinal funcional. Dentre os 351 alunos que não apresentavam constipação intestinal funcional, verificou-se que 182 (51,9%) apresentavam uma das manifestações clínicas do critério de Roma IV. A comparação das características clínicas das crianças com constipação intestinal funcional identificadas na escola (n=101) em relação aos pacientes atendidos no ambulatório especializado (n=81) evidenciou, respectivamente, as seguintes diferenças: menos de duas evacuações por semana (21,8% e 54,3%; P<0,001); um ou mais episódios de incontinência fecal por semana (14,8% e 53,1%; P<0,001) e comportamento de retenção (70,3% e 40,7%, P<0,001). Apenas 18 (17,8%) dos 101 alunos identificados na escola com constipação intestinal funcional havia realizado algum tratamento para esta doença nos últimos dois meses. Conclusão Conforme esperado, a frequência de manifestações clínicas mais graves foi maior nas crianças atendidas no ambulatório de gastroenterologia pediátrica. Apenas uma pequena parcela das crianças com constipação intestinal funcional identificadas nas escolas recebeu algum tratamento nos últimos dois meses. Mais da metade das crianças sem constipação intestinal funcional da escola apresentava pelo menos uma das manifestações do critério de Roma IV. Para finalizar, constipação intestinal funcional apresenta um amplo espectro clínico que também requer atenção para a sua prevenção e controle de suas manifestações clínicas precoces.

ABSTRACT Background: Early diagnosis of functional constipation is important for reducing its negative consequences on the health of children and adolescents. Objective: To describe the clinical spectrum of functional constipation and bowel habit patterns in schoolchildren recruited from two primary schools and patients from a pediatric gastroenterology outpatient clinic. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 452 students from two elementary schools in the city of Osasco and 81 patients with functional constipation seen in an outpatient clinic specializing in pediatric gastroenterology. All children were aged between 6 and 12 years. The Rome IV criteria (two features for more than 1 month) and the Bristol scale were used. Results: The prevalence of functional constipation among the elementary school students was 22.3% (n=101). Among the 351 students who did not have functional constipation, 182 (51.9%) had one of the clinical manifestations of the Rome IV criteria. Bristol stool scale types 1 and 2 were observed in 14 (8.3%) of the 169 students without any clinical manifestation of the Rome IV criteria and in 28 (15.4%) of the 182 students who presented one of the Rome IV criteria for functional constipation (P=0.060). A comparison of the clinical manifestations of children with functional constipation identified at school in relation to those seen at the specialized clinic showed the following differences: fewer than two bowel movements per week (21.8% and 54.3%; P<0.001, respectively), one or more episodes of fecal incontinence per week (14.8% and 53.1%; P<0.001), and retentive posturing (70.3% and 40.7%, P<0.001). Only 18 (17.8%) of the 101 students identified at the schools with functional constipation had received any treatment for this disease in the previous 2 months. Conclusion: As expected, the frequency of more severe clinical manifestations was higher in children seen at specialized clinics. Only a small proportion of the children identified with functional constipation at primary schools had undergone any form of treatment in the previous 2 months. More than half of the children without functional constipation in elementary schools reported one of the Rome IV clinical manifestations. Finally, functional constipation has a broad clinical spectrum and also requires attention for the prevention and the management of its early clinical manifestations.

Resumo A primeira sutura meniscal foi realizada em 1885 e levou cerca de um século para tornar-se popular. Atualmente, os dispositivos de reparo meniscal all-inside são amplamente utilizados. Contudo, esta técnica apresenta a desvantagem de ser um método dependente de dispositivos específicos, apresentando um custo superior aos de outras técnicas. Este valor elevado limita o uso de tal técnica em muitos locais. O objetivo da presente nota técnica é descrever uma técnica de sutura meniscal microinvasiva, como uma modificação da técnica all-inside, utilizando uma agulha descartável de procedimento de 40 x 12 mm. Os autores acreditam que a modificação proposta para a técnica pode torná-la mais popular, possibilitando o uso da técnica microinvasiva em locais com recursos limitados.

Abstract The first meniscal suture was performed in 1885 and took about a century to become popular. Currently, all-inside meniscal repair devices are widely used. However, this technique presents the disadvantage of being a method dependent on specific devices, presenting a higher cost than other techniques. This high cost limits the use of such a technique in many locations. The objective of the present technical note is to describe a microinvasive meniscal suture technique as a modification of the all-inside technique, using a disposable 40 x 12 mm procedure needle. The authors believe that the proposed modification to the technique can make it more popular, enabling the use of the microinvasive technique in places with limited resources.

Abstract Objective: To describe the type of milk used to feed infants seen in private pediatric practices in Brazil. To evaluate the relationship between breastfeeding, type of delivery, and history of prematurity. Methods: This is a cross-sectional and observational study that included 4929 infants in the first year of life seen in private pediatric practices in the five geographic regions of Brazil. Mothers provided information about the type of milk used by their infant, the type of delivery (vaginal or cesarean), and whether the birth was premature. Results: Breastfeeding was the only source of milk for 56.1% (1546/2755) of infants in the first six months of life and 32.9% (716/2174) in the second. Of the infants who received other types of milk besides breastfeeding, there was a predominance of infant formula in 98.6% and 93.8% of the infants, respectively, in the first and in the second six months of life. Whole cow's milk was used by 0.7% (20/2755) of infants in the first six months and by 4.1% (90/2174) of infants in the second (p < 0.001). In the first six months of life, breastfeeding as the only type of milk was associated with vaginal delivery (OR = 1.79; p < 0.001) and not having a history of prematurity (OR = 2.48; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Breastfeeding was the only milk source for more than half of infants before 180 days of life. Birth by cesarean section and history of prematurity were negatively associated with breastfeeding as the only source of milk used in infant feeding.

RESUMO Esse estudo objetivou comparar indicadores temporais de acordo com o tipo de set e a diferença da pontuação final. Participaram do estudo 25 times masculinos de voleibol de praia (15 - 17 anos), que competiram nos Jogos Escolares Brasileiro, fase nacional. Foram observados 21 jogos, 42 sets e 1374 rallies. As variáveis analisadas foram a duração do rally, tempo de descanso entre os rallies, tempo total de trabalho, tempo total de descanso, duração do set, razão tempo de descanso : tempo de trabalho e quantidade de rallies. Comparou-se os indicadores de tempo entre o tipo de set (1ºset Vs. 2ºset) e categorias de equilíbrio de acordo com a diferença da pontuação final (desequilibrado, moderado equilíbrio e equilibrado), utilizando teste t e Anova de uma via, respectivamente. Não foi encontrada diferença significativa entre o 1º e 2º set, no entanto, efeito moderado foi observado no tempo total de trabalho. A diferença da pontuação final afetou a duração do set, o tempo total de trabalho e o trabalho total de descanso, mostrando uma tendência linear entre os níveis de equilíbrio. Os indicadores temporais parecem não se alterar em relação ao tipo de set, porém, há uma tendência de aumento do tempo de trabalho do 1º para o 2º set. Finalmente, a pontuação influencia a duração do set, tempo total de trabalho e tempo total de descanso, sem modificar a relação esforço : pausa.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to compare temporal indicators according to the type of set and final score difference. Twenty-five teams of male beach volleyball players (15 - 17 years old) competed in Brazilian School Championship, national stage. 21 matches, 42 sets, and 1374 rallies were observed. The variables analyzed were rally duration, rest time between rallies, total work time, total rest time, duration of the set, rest time : work time ratio, and the number of rallies. Time indicators were compared between the type of set (1st set Vs. 2nd set) and balance categories according to the difference in the final score (unbalanced, moderate balance, and balanced), using t-test and one-way ANOVA, respectively. No significant difference was found between the 1st and 2nd set, although a moderate effect was observed in total work time between sets. Moreover, the final score difference influences the duration of set, total work time, and total work-rest show a linear tendency between balanced levels. The temporal indicators do not seem to change concerning the type of set. However, there is a tendency for an increase in working time from the 1st to the 2nd set. Finally, the score influences the duration of the set, total work time, and total rest time, without modifying the effort : rest ratio.

Resumo Objetivo: O propósito do estudo foi explorar a associação entre inteligência emocional, congruência pessoa-ambiente e satisfação intrínseca no trabalho em dois grupos profissionais: o primeiro com foco nas relações interpessoais e o segundo voltado para o manuseio de coisas, dados e ideias. Originalidade/valor: O estudo apresenta a associação entre congruência, inteligência emocional e satisfação intrínseca no trabalho e testa o modelo em que a congruência modera a associação entre inteligência emocional e satisfação intrínseca em dois grupos profissionais. Design/metodologia/abordagem: Trata-se de estudo do tipo survey em que participaram 486 trabalhadores distribuídos em dois grupos de profissionais utilizando o modelo RIASEC. Os participantes responderam às medidas de interesse profissional e de ambientes ocupacionais necessárias para a mensuração da congruência, e em seguida às medidas de inteligência emocional e de satisfação intrínseca. Resultados: Foram identificadas associações positivas entre inteligência emocional, congruência pessoa-ambiente e satisfação intrínseca no trabalho, com associações mais altas no grupo com elevadas demandas interpessoais, destacando a relevância das habilidades emocionais nesse segmento profissional. Contudo, identificou-se que a congruência não modera a associação entre inteligência emocional e satisfação intrínseca em nenhum dos dois grupos, salientando que o ajuste pessoa-ambiente e as habilidades emocionais podem contribuir de maneira independente para explicar a satisfação do trabalhador com as atividades desenvolvidas na organização.

Abstract Purpose: The purpose of the study was to explore the association between emotional intelligence, person-environment congruence and intrinsic job satisfaction in two professional groups, the first focusing on interpersonal relationships and the second, on data, things, and ideas. Originality/value: The study presents the association between congruence, emotional intelligence and intrinsic satisfaction at work and tests the model in which congruence moderates the association between emotional intelligence and intrinsic satisfaction in two professional groups. Design/methodology/approach: Survey-type study in which 486 workers participated in two groups of professionals using the realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising and conventional (RIASEC) model. Participants responded to questionnaires of professional interest and occupational environments necessary to measure congruence, and, then, emotional intelligence and intrinsic satisfaction. Findings: Positive associations were identified between emotional intelligence, person-environment congruence, and intrinsic job satisfaction, with higher associations in the group with high interpersonal demands, highlighting the relevance of emotional skills in this professional segment. However, it was found that the congruence does not moderate the association between emotional intelligence and intrinsic satisfaction in either group, emphasizing that the person-environment fit and emotional skills can contribute independently to explain worker satisfaction with the activities developed in the organization.

Resumo A classificação automática de áreas urbanas desfavorecidas fornece informações vitais para a implementação de políticas pró-pobres. Neste artigo, é apresentada uma abordagem para a classificação dessas áreas nas cidades brasileiras. As imagens de satélite foram obtidas de modo gratuito para seis cidades do Semiárido brasileiro utilizando o software Google Earth Engine. Para avaliar o poder discriminativo dos dados censitários, foram utilizados dados disponibilizados publicamente pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) para treinar classificadores SVM juntamente com características extraídas de imagens. As características da imagem foram extraídas usando as seguintes abordagens: histogramas de cores, histogramas de LBP e lacunaridade. Quatro testes de avaliação foram investigados com base em dois critérios: uso de dados censitários e método de validação cruzada. Foram utilizados dois tipos de validação cruzada: 10 vezes e deixar uma cidade de fora. O uso de dados censitários causou impacto negativo nos resultados. Esse impacto é justificado pelos critérios sobre os quais os setores censitários são mapeados no país, não apenas morfológicos e visualmente perceptíveis por meio de imagens de satélite, ao contrário das abordagens de extração adotadas. Os melhores resultados obtidos foram acurácia média de 91,81% e F1-score médio de 92,27%. Essa pesquisa contribui para o reconhecimento de áreas urbanas precárias e de dinâmicas socioespaciais urbanas, dando suporte ao planejamento urbano-territorial.

Abstract Automatic classification of deprived urban areas provides vital information for implementing pro-poor policies. In this paper, an approach for the classification of these areas in Brazilian cities is presented. Satellite images were obtained free of charge from six cities in the Brazilian semi-arid region using Google Earth Engine software. To assess the discriminative power of census data, data made publicly available by Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) were used to train SVM classifiers together with features extracted from images. The image features were extracted using the following approaches: color histograms, LBP histograms, and lacunarity. Four evaluation tests were investigated based on two criteria: use of census data and cross-validation method. Two types of cross-validation were used: 10-fold and leave-one-city-out. The use of census data caused a negative impact on the results. This impact is justified by the criteria on which census tracts are mapped in the country, not only morphological and visually perceptible through satellite images, as opposed to adopted extraction approaches. The best results obtained were average accuracy of 91.81% and average F1-score of 92.27%. This research contributes to the recognition of deprived urban areas and urban socio-spatial dynamics, supporting urban-territorial planning.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the diet and nutritional status of infants on an elimination diet of cow’s milk proteins. Methods: Observational and cross-sectional study that compared: Infants on a cow’s milk protein elimination diet (n=60) assisted at a hypoallergenic formula distribution unit and a control group of same age and gender without dietary restrictions (n=60). Age ranged from 6 to 24 months. The diet was evaluated using the 24-hour food survey and weight and height were measured. Results: The macronutrient intake of both groups reached nutritional recommendations. The proportions of infants in the group of elimination of cow’s milk proteins with insufficient intake were lower, compared to controls, for iron (13.3 and 31.7%; p=0.029), zinc (5.0 and 18.3%; p=0.047), and vitamin D (25.0 and 71.7%; p<0.001). The hypoallergenic formula contributed to a greater supply of nutrients than dairy foods for the control group. Between 12 and 24 months, the number of infants on a restriction diet who never consumed meat, fish, cereals, and eggs was higher than in the control group (p<0.05). The length-age Z scores in infants on a cow’s milk protein elimination diet (-0.4±1.6) were lower (p=0.039) than in the control group (+0.2±1.3). Conclusions: The diet of infants with exclusion of cow’s milk protein was adequate despite the delay in the introduction of some complementary foods. Infants on an elimination cow’s milk protein diet showed lower linear growth without weight deficit.

Resumo Objetivo: Avaliar a dieta e o estado nutricional de lactentes em dieta de exclusão das proteínas do leite de vaca. Métodos: Estudo observacional, transversal, que comparou: lactentes em dieta de exclusão das proteínas do leite de vaca (n=60) atendidos em unidade de dispensação de fórmulas hipoalergênicas e lactentes sem restrições alimentares (n=60), de mesma idade e sexo (grupo controle). A idade variou de seis a 24 meses. A dieta foi avaliada com o emprego do inquérito alimentar e foram mensurados o peso e a estatura. Resultados: A ingestão de macronutrientes foi adequada em ambos os grupos. No grupo em dieta de exclusão das proteínas do leite de vaca, as proporções de lactentes com ingestão insuficiente foram menores em relação aos controles, para ferro (13,3 e 31,7%; p=0,029), zinco (5,0 e 18,3%; p=0,047) e vitamina D (25,0 e 71,7%; p<0,001). A fórmula hipoalergênica contribuiu com maior oferta de nutrientes do que os alimentos lácteos para o grupo controle. Entre 12 e 24 meses, o número de lactentes em dieta de exclusão que nunca consumiram carne bovina, peixe, cereais e ovo foi maior do que no grupo controle (p<0,05). Os escores Z de comprimento-idade nos lactentes em dieta de exclusão das proteínas do leite de vaca (-0,4±1,6) foram menores (p=0,039) do que no grupo controle (+0,2±1,3). Conclusões: A dieta de lactentes em exclusão do leite de vaca foi adequada apesar do atraso na introdução de alguns alimentos. Lactentes em dieta de exclusão apresentaram menor crescimento linear não acompanhado de déficit ponderal.

Abstract Malaria is a disease caused by Plasmodium spp. protozoa. The ability of Plasmodium to develop resistance to current antimalarial drugs makes the study of chemotherapeutic alternatives extremely important. This study aimed to evaluate the antimalarial activity of compound 3286938 (1-(3-benzyloxy-4-methoxy-phenyl)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxy-phenyl)-propan-1-one), which presents in its structure a 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl group, in vitro, using the W2 strain of P. falciparum and against circulating strains of P. vivax and P. falciparum from the state of Rondônia. The compound 3286938 obtained an IC50 of 24.4 µM against the W2 strain of P. falciparum, and against the circulating strains, it presented a median (MD)=38.7 µM for P. vivax and MD=6.7 µM for P. falciparum. As for toxicity, 3286938 showed CC50 > 500 µM for VERO and HepG2 strains with a selectivity index greater than 12.9, a ratio calculated for P. falciparum and P. vivax regarding Vero and HepG2 cells. The compound was not considered hemolytic in in vitro assays, thus indicating the specificity of its antiplasmodial action. Based on the results presented, and considering the unprecedented character of the compound, it can be concluded that 3286938 was shown to be promising for complementary in vitro and in vivo studies aiming to produce effective antiplasmodial action.
