Abstract Objective To evaluate clinical characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 patients infected with HIV, and to compare with a paired sample without HIV infection. Methods This is a substudy of a Brazilian multicentric cohort that comprised two periods (2020 and 2021). Data was obtained through the retrospective review of medical records. Primary outcomes were admission to the intensive care unit, invasive mechanical ventilation, and death. Patients with HIV and controls were matched for age, sex, number of comorbidities, and hospital of origin using the technique of propensity score matching (up to 4:1). They were compared using the Chi-Square or Fisher's Exact tests for categorical variables and the Wilcoxon for numerical variables. Results Throughout the study, 17,101 COVID-19 patients were hospitalized, and 130 (0.76%) of those were infected with HIV. The median age was 54 (IQR: 43.0;64.0) years in 2020 and 53 (IQR: 46.0;63.5) years in 2021, with a predominance of females in both periods. People Living with HIV (PLHIV) and their controls showed similar prevalence for admission to the ICU and invasive mechanical ventilation requirement in the two periods, with no significant differences. In 2020, in-hospital mortality was higher in the PLHIV compared to the controls (27.9% vs. 17.7%; p = 0.049), but there was no difference in mortality between groups in 2021 (25.0% vs. 25.1%; p > 0.999). Conclusions Our results reiterate that PLHIV were at higher risk of COVID-19 mortality in the early stages of the pandemic, however, this finding did not sustain in 2021, when the mortality rate is similar to the control group.

Abstract INTRODUCTION: To analyze the trend of prostate cancer mortality in the Brazilian population of 40 years of age and above. METHODS: Time series ecological study of the mortality rates due to prostate cancer in men of 40 years of age and above, using data from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 (GBD). Age-standardized mortality rates were calculated, as well as the age-standardized rates by the GBD for the global population, per 100,000 inhabitants, for Brazil and its States, from 1990 to 2019. The annual average percent change (AAPC) was calculated to identify the mortality trends in Brazil, through linear regression using the Joinpoint Regression Program. RESULTS: The standardized rates of prostate cancer mortality in Brazil were 76.89 in 1990 and 74.96 deaths for every 100 thousand men ≥ 40 years of age in 2019, with a stability trend. By age group, it was observed a decreasing trend up to 79 years of age, and an increasing trend as of 80 years of age. The state of Bahia showed the highest increase in mortality in the period (1.2%/year), followed by Maranhão and Pernambuco (1.0 and 0.9%/year). A decrease of prostate cancer mortality was found in the Federal District, Goiás, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Roraima, Santa Catarina, São Paulo, and Sergipe. CONCLUSIONS: In Brazil, the standardized mortality rates show a trend toward stability from 1990 to 2019 and no pattern was observed for the trends according to the Brazilian States.

RESUMO Entender o mercado brasileiro de madeira nativa auxilia os gestores florestais e pode orientar as políticas de conservação. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a distribuição espacial e temporal da oferta e demanda da madeira nativa brasileira para quatro produtos: carvão vegetal, madeira em tora, lenha e madeira serrada. Foi utilizado o volume de madeira consumido de 2006 a 2016 em Minas Gerais (MG) totalizando 31 milhões de metros cúbicos e obtido seu fornecedor no Brasil. Esses dados foram usados como entrada para calcular os centros médios e realizar análises de agrupamento. Os centros de abastecimento de madeira para o setor de energia no Brasil passaram do bioma Cerrado para a Caatinga. Essa mudança é consistente com os padrões históricos de expansão agrícola no Brasil. As maiores mesorregiões produtoras de madeira foram: Leste de Mato Grosso do Sul, Sul de Goiás e Centro-Sul da Bahia. Os centros de abastecimento de madeira sólida mudaram-se das regiões Norte para Centro-Oeste, mas permaneceram no bioma Amazônia por quase todos os anos. Esse padrão é provavelmente uma consequência das práticas de regulamentação da madeira na Amazônia. As mesorregiões: Madeira-Guaporé e Leste do Estado de Rondônia, Sudeste e Nordeste do Pará e Norte do Mato Grosso foram os principais fornecedores de madeira maciça para MG. O consumo de madeira para energia está concentrado nas regiões Centro e Norte do Estado de MG, principalmente em Sete Lagoas, polo das indústrias de ferro-gusa e cimento. Os produtos de madeira maciça estão dispersos no Estado de MG, sendo Belo Horizonte, Conselheiro Lafaiete, Ubá e Uberlândia os centros de distribuição de madeira nativa para indústria moveleira de MG. As estatísticas espaciais ajudaram a explorar a atividade do mercado de madeira nativa no Brasil e fornecem informações essenciais para os tomadores de decisão que não estavam disponíveis anteriormente.

ABSTRACT Understanding the Brazilian market for native wood helps forest managers and can guide conservation policies. This study aimed to evaluate the spatial and temporal distribution of supply and demand of the Brazilian native wood for four products namely, charcoal, roundwood, firewood, and sawn wood. We used the consumed wood volume from 2006 to 2016 in Minas Gerais (MG) tracking its supplier in Brazil accounting for 31 million cubic meters. These data were used as input for calculating mean centers and performing grouping analysis. The wood supply centers for the energy sector in Brazil have moved from Cerrado to the Caatinga biome. This change is consistent with historical patterns of agricultural expansion in Brazil. The largest mesoregions producing wood were: East of Mato Grosso do Sul State, South of Goiás State, and Center-South of Bahia State. The solid wood supply centers have moved from the North to Midwest regions but remained within the Amazon biome for almost all the years. This pattern is likely a consequence of timber regulation practices in the Amazon. The mesoregions: Madeira-Guaporé and East of Rondônia State, Southeast and Northeast of Pará State, and North of Mato Grosso State were the most important suppliers of solid wood to MG. Wood consumption for energy is centered in the Center and North regions of MG State, especially in Sete Lagoas, a hub of pig iron and cement industries. Solid wood products are dispersed in MG State, being Belo Horizonte, Conselheiro Lafaiete, Ubá, and Uberlândia the distribution centers of native wood for the furniture industry within MG. The spatial statistics helped to exploit the activity of the native wood market in Brazil and provides essential information for decision-makers that was not previously available.

Resumo Os solos leves ocupam cerca de 8% do território brasileiro e são epecialmente expressivos na nova e na última fronteira agrícola do país: a região de Matopiba, nos estados do Maranhão, do Tocantins, do Piauí e da Bahia, onde representam 20% da área. Esses solos enquadram-se nas classes texturais areia e areia franca ou francoarenosa, até a profundidade de 0,75 m ou mais, e são representados principalmente pelos Neossolos Quartzarênicos e, em parte, por Latossolos e Argissolos. O entendimento do funcionamento desses solos depende do estabelecimento de critérios distintivos sobre: dinâmica da matéria orgânica; teor e mineralogia da fração argila; teores de areia grossa e de areia total, em relação aos de areia fina; diâmetro médio da fração areia; e capacidade de retenção de água. Esses critérios podem contribuir para o zoneamento e para o manejo conservacionista e da fertilidade dos solos leves, bem como para estimação de seu potencial agrícola. Sistemas integrados de produção, como os de integração lavoura-pecuária e lavoura-pecuária-floresta, além do plantio direto com rotação de culturas, dos plantios florestais mistos com espécies leguminosas, e do uso de adubos verdes e cultivos de cobertura, são relevantes para o manejo adequado desses solos. O objetivo deste artigo de revisão foi caracterizar os solos leves e apontar os principais desafios em relação a seu potencial agrícola, a seu manejo e conservação e sua fertilidade, frente à expansão e à consolidação da nova fronteira agrícola.

Abstract Light soils occupy 8% of the Brazilian territory and are especially expressive in the new and last agricultural frontier in Brazil: the Matopiba region - in the states of Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí, and Bahia -, where they represent 20% of the area. These soils fit into the textural classes of sand and loamy sand or sandy loam, down to 0.75-m soil depth or deeper, and they are mainly represented by Neossolos Quartzarênicos (Quartzipsamments) and, partly, by Latossolos (Oxisols) and Argissolos (Ultisols). The understanding of soil functioning depends on the establishment of distinguishing criteria for: organic matter dynamics; content and mineralogy of the clay fraction; coarse sand and total sand contents, in relation to those of fine sand; mean diameter of the sand fraction; and water retention capacity. These criteria can contribute for the zoning and for the conservation and fertility management of light soils, as well as for the estimation of their agricultural potential. Integrated production systems, such as crop-livestock and crop-livestock-forestry integration, besides no-tillage with crop rotation, mixed forestry planting with legumes, and the use of green manure and cover crops are relevant for the proper management of these soils. The objective of this review was to characterize light soils and to highlight the main challenges regarding their agricultural potential and their conservation and fertility managements, in face of the expansion and consolidation of the new Brazilian agricultural frontier.

An exploratory study was performed with patients who suffered traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in the period from July 31, 2007 to August 1, 2008. The spatial distribution of the TBI cases seen at the trauma unit of reference in the Metropolitan Region of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil was analyzed. Both the residential addresses and places of occurrence were geocoded by means of GPS receiver devices. The spatial aggregation of cases was evaluated using the nearest neighbor hierarchical clustering technique in the CrimeStat® 3.2 program. TBI cases were not randomly distributed; rather, they formed clusters in relation to both place of residence and place of occurrence of the trauma. Many of the clusters were identified in areas far removed from the locations of emergency services as well as from the locations where multi-professional rehabilitation is offered. Thus, the spatial distribution of the health services, in relation to the places of occurrence of TBI, reveals inequalities.

Se realizó un estudio exploratorio con pacientes que sufrieron traumatismos cráneoencefálicos (TCE) entre el 31 de julio del 2007 y el 1 de agosto del 2008. Se analizó la distribución espacial de los casos atendidos en la unidad de referencia para traumatismos de la Región Metropolitana de Salvador, Bahía, Brasil. Los domicilios residenciales y los lugares de ocurrencia de los TCE fueron geocodificados por medio del dispositivo receptor Global Positioning System (GPS) y se realizó la agregación espacial de los casos por medio de la técnica de conglomerados jerárquicos de vecinos más próximos utilizando el aplicativo CrimeStat® 3.2. Los casos de TCE no se distribuyeron de forma aleatoria sino formando conglomerados, tanto en relación con los domicilios de residencia como con el lugar de ocurrencia. Muchos de los conglomerados se identificaron en áreas distantes de los lugares de atención a la urgencia y de los lugares en que se ofrece rehabilitación multiprofesional, por lo que la distribución espacial de los servicios de salud, en relación con los lugares de ocurrencia de los TCE, revela inequidades.

Rangelia vitalii é um protozoário que causa doença em cães, sendo a anemia o achado laboratorial mais frequente. No entanto, existem poucos estudos sobre as alterações bioquímicas em cães infectados com o protozoário. Assim, este estudo tem como objetivo investigar as alterações bioquímicas de cães experimentalmente infectados com R. vitalii na fase aguda da infecção. Para o estudo, foram utilizados 12 cães fêmeas (com idade entre 6 a 12 meses e peso entre 4 a 7 kg), divididos em dois grupos. O grupo A (n = 5) foi composto de animais saudáveis e o grupo B (n = 7) de animais infectados. Amostras de sangue foram coletadas nos dias zero, dez, vinte e trinta PI, utilizando tubos sem anticoagulante para obtenção de soro e análise dos parâmetros bioquímicos. Foi observado um aumento na alanino aminotransferase (ALT) no dia 20 PI (P < 0,05) e aumento na creatinoquinase (CK) e aspartato aminotransferase (AST) em todo o período experimental (P < 0,05). Não foram observadas alterações séricas na gama-glutamiltransferase, uréia e creatinina. Portanto, é possível concluir que a infecção experimental por R. vitalii causa alterações no perfil bioquímico, com aumento na ALT, CK e AST.

Rangelia vitalii is a protozoon that causes diseases in dogs, and anemia is the most common laboratory finding. However, few studies on the biochemical changes in dogs infected with this protozoon exist. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the biochemical changes in dogs experimentally infected with R. vitalii, during the acute phase of the infection. For this study, 12 female dogs (aged 6-12 months and weighing between 4 and 7 kg) were used, divided in two groups. Group A was composed of healthy dogs (n = 5); and group B consisted of infected animals (n = 7). Blood samples were collected on days 0, 10, 20 and 30 after infection, using tubes without anticoagulant to obtain serum and analyze the biochemical parameters. An increase in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) on day 20 (P < 0.05) was observed. Also, increased creatine kinase (CK) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were observed throughout the experimental period (P < 0.05). No changes in the serum gamma-glutamyltransferase, urea and creatinine levels were observed. Thus, is possible to conclude that experimental infection with R. vitalii in dogs causes changes to the biochemical profile, with increased ALT, AST and CK enzyme levels.

FUNDAMENTO: Estudos que consideram apenas a atividade física de lazer encontraram que a inatividade física é maior entre os indivíduos com menor renda. Existe a possibilidade de que, ao se considerar as atividades de transporte, trabalho e domésticas ocorra modificações nessa associação. OBJETIVO:Determinar se há diferença entre as prevalências de inatividade física entre indivíduos de alto e baixo nível socioeconômico. MÉTODOS: A amostra foi constituída por indivíduos de ambos os sexos, com 18 anos ou mais, de dois grupos de diferentes níveis socioeconômicos. O Grupo de baixo nível socioeconômico (BNSE) foi composto por pais de alunos de uma escola pública. Os indivíduos de alto nível socioeconômico (ANSE) foram pais de uma escola de nível superior privada. Para determinação do nível de atividade física foi utilizado o Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ). RESULTADOS: Noventa e um indivíduos foram avaliados no grupo de BNSE e 59 no ANSE. No grupo de baixo NSE, 42,9% (39) dos indivíduos foram classificados como insuficientemente ativos, comparados a 57,6% (34) nos indivíduos de alto NSE. Tomando-se como parâmetro de inatividade física um tempo de atividade física semanal menor que 150 minutos houve redução da classificação de inatividade em ambos os grupos, porém com manutenção de maior inatividade nos indivíduos de alto NSE (49,2% vs 28,6%; p= 0,01). CONCLUSÃO:Os indivíduos de alto nível socioeconômico são mais sedentários que os indivíduos de baixo nível socioeconômico.

BACKGROUND: Studies that considered only the leisure physical activity found that the physical inactivity is higher among lower-income individuals. There is a possibility that this association shows modifications, when considering transportation, work and domestic activities. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether there is a difference between the prevalence of physical inactivity between individuals of high and low socioeconomic levels. METHODS: The sample consisted of individuals of both sexes, aged 18 or older, from two groups of different socioeconomic levels. The low socioeconomic level (LSEL) group consisted of the parents of students from a public school. The high socioeconomic level (HSEL) group consisted of the parents of students from a private College. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to determine the level of physical activity. RESULTS: A total of 91 individuals were evaluated in the LSEL group and 59 in the HSEL group. In the LSEL group, 42.9% (39) of the individuals were classified as insufficiently active, compared to 57.6% (34) of individuals in the HSEL group. Taking as a parameter of physical inactivity the time of weekly physical activity < 150 minutes, there was a decrease in the classification of inactivity in both groups, although with the maintenance of higher inactivity among individuals of HSEL (49.2% vs 28.6%; p= 0.01). CONCLUSION: The individuals of HSEL are more sedentary than the individuals of LSEL.

FUNDAMENTO: Estudios que incluyen sólo la actividad física de ocio revelaron que la inactividad física es mayor entre los individuos con menor renta. Existe la posibilidad de que, al tomarse en consideración las actividades de transporte, trabajo y domésticas ocurra cambios en esa asociación. OBJETIVO:Determinar si hay diferencia en las prevalencias de inactividad física entre individuos de alto y bajo nivel socioeconómico. MÉTODOS:La muestra estaba formada por individuos de ambos sexos, con 18 años o más, provenientes de dos grupos de diferentes niveles socioeconómicos. El Grupo de bajo nivel socioeconómico (BNSE) estaba compuesto por padres de alumnos de una escuela pública. Los individuos de alto nivel socioeconómico (ANSE) fueron los padres de una escuela de nivel superior privada. Para determinación del nivel de actividad física se utilizó el Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física (IPAQ). RESULTADOS:Se evaluó a un total de 91 individuos en el grupo de BNSE y a 59 en el ANSE. En el grupo de bajo NSE, al 42,9% (39) de los individuos se les clasificaron como insuficientemente activos, comparados al 57,6% (34) en los individuos de alto NSE. Al tomarse como parámetro de inactividad física un tiempo de actividad física semanal menor que 150 minutos, hubo reducción de la clasificación de inactividad en ambos grupos, aunque con mantenimiento de mayor inactividad en los individuos de alto NSE (49,2% vs. 28,6%; p= 0,01). CONCLUSIÓN: Los individuos de alto nivel socioeconómico son más sedentarios que los individuos de bajo nivel socioeconómico.

OBJECTIVE: To detect the prevalence of systemic hypertension in children and to establish the relation between blood pressure levels and sex, age, ethnicity, weight, and height. METHODS: The prevalence of systemic hypertension and its relation to sex, age, ethnicity, weight, and height were studied in 611 students aged 7 to 14 years out of 19.928 students classified according to age, ethnicity, and sex, who underwent anthropometric evaluation and blood pressure measurement. Hypertensive individuals were considered those whose blood pressure level was > the 95th percentile for age and sex, confirmed on 3 examinations. RESULTS: The prevalence of hypertension was 16.6% in the first evaluation, and 4.6% and 2.5% in the subsequent evaluations. The mean blood pressure levels increased with age. Weight was important, not only to determine blood pressure in healthy children, but also to determine systemic hypertension in children, which was not observed with height despite the different studies. The prevalence of systemic hypertension in the different ethnic groups and the mean blood pressure levels according to sex were similar. CONCLUSION: In addition to routine physical examinations, age, weight, and appropriate cuff size should be considered when assessing blood pressure in children to prevent hypertension, morbidity and mortality, and to avoid placing a financial burden on health care providers.
