ABSTRACT Objective: To define a reference chart comparing pressure drop vs. flow generated by a set of arterial cannulae currently utilized in cardiopulmonary bypass conditions in pediatric surgery. Methods: Cannulae from two manufacturers were selected considering their design and outer and inner diameters. Cannula performance was evaluated in terms of pressure drop vs. flow during simulated cardiopulmonary bypass conditions. The experimental circuits consisted of a Jostra HL-20 roller pump, a Quadrox-i pediatric oxygenator (Maquet Cardiopulmonary AG, Rastatt, Germany), and a custom pediatric tubing set. The circuit was primed with lactated Ringer’s solution only (first condition) and with human packed red blood cells added (second condition) to achieve a hematocrit of 30%. Cannula sizes 8 to 16 Fr were inserted into the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit with a “Y” connector. The flow was adjusted in 100 ml/min increments within typical flow ranges for each cannula. Pre-cannula and post-cannula pressures were measured to calculate the pressure drop. Results: Utilizing a pressure drop limit of 100 mmHg, our results suggest a recommended flow limit of 500, 900, 1400, 2600, and 3100 mL/min for Braile arterial cannulae sizes 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 Fr, respectively. For Medtronic DLP arterial cannulae sizes 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 Fr, the recommended flow limit is 600, 1100, 1700, 2700, and 3300 mL/min, respectively. Conclusion: This study reinforces discrepancies in pressure drop between cannulae of the same diameter supplied by different manufacturers and the importance of independent translational research to evaluate components’ performance.

ABSTRACT Background: Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is a potentially severe disease that can present with refractoriness, recurrence, and evolution to death. In Brazil, the epidemiology of CDI seems to differ from that of the United States and most European countries, with only one ribotype (RT) 027-related case and a high prevalence of RT106. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of CDI and its possible association with ribotypes at a university hospital in Brazil. Methods: A total of 65 patients with CDI were included and stool samples were submitted to A/B toxin detection and toxigenic culture, and toxigenic isolates (n=44) were also PCR ribotyped. Results: Patients’ median age was 59 (20-87) years and there were 16 (24.6%) deaths. The median Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) was 4 (0-15) and 16.9% of the patients had CCI ≥8. The ATLAS score and non-improvement of diarrhea were related to higher mortality. A longer length of hospitalization was related to the enteral nutrition and use of multiple antibiotics. The period between CDI diagnosis and hospital discharge was longer in those who received new antibiotics after diagnosis, multiple antibiotics, and required intensive care treatment. Recurrence was associated with CCI >7. Twenty ribotypes were identified and RT106 was the most frequently detected strain (43.2%). No relationship was observed between the ribotypes and outcomes. CDI was present in patients with more comorbidities. Conclusion: Risk factors for higher mortality, longer hospital stay and recurrence were identified. A diversity of ribotypes was observed and C. difficile strains were not related to the outcomes.

RESUMO Contexto: A infecção pelo Clostridioides difficile (ICD) é uma doença potencialmente grave que pode se apresentar com refratariedade, recidiva e evoluir para óbito. No Brasil, a epidemiologia da ICD parece diferir da dos Estados Unidos e da maioria dos países europeus, com apenas um caso relacionado ao ribotipo (RT) 027 e alta prevalência do RT106. Objetivo: Avaliar os desfechos da ICD e sua possível associação com ribotipos em um hospital universitário do Brasil. Métodos: Um total de 65 pacientes com ICD foram incluídos e amostras de fezes foram submetidas à detecção de toxina A/B e cultura toxigênica e as cepas toxigênicas isoladas (n=44) também foram ribotipadas por PCR. Resultados: A idade mediana dos pacientes foi de 59 (20-87) anos e houve 16 (24,6%) óbitos. A mediana do índice de comorbidade de Charlson (ICC) foi de 4 (0-15) e 16,9% dos pacientes apresentaram ICC ≥8. O escore ATLAS e a não melhora da diarreia foram relacionados a maior mortalidade. Maior tempo de internação esteve relacionado à nutrição enteral e ao uso de múltiplos antibióticos. O período entre o diagnóstico de ICD e a alta hospitalar foi maior naqueles que receberam novos antibióticos após o diagnóstico, múltiplos antibióticos e necessitaram de tratamento intensivo. A recorrência foi associada com ICC >7. Vinte ribotipos foram identificados e o RT106 foi a cepa mais frequentemente detectada (43,2%). Não foi observada relação entre os ribotipos e os desfechos. ICD esteve presente em pacientes com mais comorbidades. Conclusão: Foram identificados fatores de risco para maior mortalidade, maior tempo de internação e recorrência. Uma diversidade de ribotipos foi observada e cepas de C. difficile não foram relacionadas aos desfechos.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar os fatores relacionados à saúde mental dos agentes comunitários de saúde (ACS) no contexto da COVID-19. Participaram 1.935 ACS de quatro capitais nordestinas e de quatro cidades do interior do Ceará. Foram coletados dados sociodemográficos e profissiográficos; SRQ-20; WHOQOL-Bref; exposição à violência; Escala de Autoeficácia Geral (EAEG); Escala Multidimensional de Suporte Social Percebido (MSPSS); informações relacionadas à COVID-19 e Escala de Ansiedade para Coronavírus (EAC). 40,5% exibiram SRQ > 7, sinalizando altos níveis de transtornos mentais comuns (TMC)/problemas de saúde mental. Utilizou-se a regressão linear múltiplas (backward). Observou-se que o aumento de risco de TCM foi influenciado pelos seguintes fatores: exposição à violência; EAC; não saber se teve COVID-19; desconhecer as variáveis que diminuíam o risco; os domínios físico e psicológico do WHOQOL-Bref; não ter aumento da jornada de trabalho; e não ter tido COVID-19. Os dados revelam a dinâmica multidimensional da saúde mental e ajudam a compreender a relação entre violência comunitária, COVID-19, qualidade de vida, idade e tempo de atuação na ESF com a saúde mental dos ACS.

Abstract This study aimed to analyze the factors related to the mental health of Community Health Workers (ACS) in the COVID-19 context. A total of 1,935 ACS from four Northeastern capitals and four cities in the inland region of Ceará participated. The following data were collected: sociodemographic; professional; SRQ-20; WHOQOL-Bref, exposure to violence, General Self-Efficacy Scale (EAEG), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), COVID-19-related information, and the coronavirus anxiety scale (EAC). Approximately 40.5% had SRQ > 7, signaling high levels of Common Mental Disorders (CMD)/mental health issues. We adopted the Multiple linear (backward) regression. We observed that the increased risk of CMD was influenced by exposure to violence, EAC, not knowing they had COVID-19, not knowing the variables that reduced the risk, the physical and psychological domains of the WHOQOL-Bref, not having increased working hours, and not having had COVID-19. The data reveal the multidimensional dynamics of mental health and help understand the relationship between community violence, COVID-19, quality of life, age, and ESF working time with the mental health of ACS.

Resumo: Este artigo avalia as repercussões da pandemia da COVID-19 no cotidiano de trabalho da equipe da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) em diversos municípios do Nordeste brasileiro, na perspectiva dos agentes comunitários de saúde (ACS). Um questionário estruturado foi utilizado para coletar informações sobre a COVID-19, atividades dos ACS e equipes da ESF em 2021. Participaram 1.935 ACS de quatro capitais (Fortaleza - Ceará, João Pessoa - Paraíba, Recife - Pernambuco e Teresina - Piauí) e quatro cidades do interior (Crato, Juazeiro do Norte, Barbalha e Sobral, Ceará). A idade média dos ACS era de 46,25±8,54 anos, sendo a maioria mulheres (82,42%). Muitos (39,92%) estavam infectados com COVID-19, dos quais 70,78% acreditavam ter sido infectados no ambiente de trabalho. Ao todo, 77,82% definiam seu papel como linha de frente no combate à COVID-19, 16,07% relataram receber treinamento para a COVID-19 e 13,74% tinham acesso a equipamentos de proteção suficientes contra a COVID-19. A maioria (90,27%) acredita que suas rotinas de trabalho foram modificadas pela pandemia, fortalecendo o espírito de equipe (41,46%) ou enfraquecendo-o (44,41%). Houve uma redução na promoção da saúde nas escolas (75,66%) e na frequência de visitas domiciliares (60,55%), de grupos específicos na comunidade (93,96%) e outros serviços comunitários locais (66,01%). Nos municípios avaliados, observou-se uma heterogeneidade significativa em relação à resposta à pandemia de COVID-19, possivelmente associada à falta de coordenação do Governo Federal. A pandemia levou a uma reconfiguração dos sistemas locais de saúde, fluxos de trabalho e protocolos de atenção primária para as equipes da ESF. A importância do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e seu potencial de reorganização durante as crises devem ser reconhecidos, preservando-se os avanços alcançados até o momento.

Resumen: Este artículo evalúa las repercusiones de la pandemia de COVID-19 en el trabajo cotidiano del equipo de la Estrategia Salud de la Familia (ESF) en diversos municipios del Nordeste brasileño, desde la perspectiva de los agentes comunitarios de salud (ACS). Se utilizó un cuestionario estructurado para recopilar información sobre COVID-19, actividades de los ACS y equipos de la ESF en el 2021. Participaron 1.935 ACS de cuatro capitales (Fortaleza - Ceará, João Pessoa - Paraíba, Recife - Pernambuco y Teresina - Piauí) y cuatro ciudades del interior (Crato, Juazeiro do Norte, Barbalha y Sobral - Ceará). La edad media de los ACS era de 46,25±8,54 años, y la mayoría eran mujeres (82,42%). Muchos (39,92%) estaban infectados con COVID-19, de los cuales el 70,78% creía haberse contagiado en el entorno laboral. En total, el 77,82% definió su papel como línea de frente en el combate a la COVID-19, el 16,07% informó haber recibido capacitación para la COVID-19 y el 13,74% tuvo acceso a equipos de protección suficiente contra la COVID-19. La mayoría (90,27%) cree que sus rutinas de trabajo se vieron modificadas por la pandemia, fortaleciendo el espíritu de equipo (41,46%) o debilitándolo (44,41%). Hubo una reducción en la promoción de la salud en las escuelas (75,66%) y en la frecuencia de las visitas domiciliarias (60,55%), de grupos específicos en la comunidad (93,96%) y otros servicios comunitarios locales (66,01%). En los municipios analizados, se observó una heterogeneidad significativa con relación a la respuesta a la pandemia de COVID-19, posiblemente asociada a la falta de coordinación del Gobierno Federal. La pandemia condujo a una reconfiguración de los sistemas locales de salud, los flujos de trabajo y los protocolos de atención primaria para los equipos de la ESF. Se debe reconocer la importancia del Sistema Único de Salud y (SUS) su capacidad de reorganización durante las crisis, preservando los avances logrados hasta el momento.

Abstract: This article evaluates the COVID-19 pandemic impacts on the Family Health Strategy (FHS) team’s work routines across a range of northeast Brazilian cities as perceived by community health workers (CHW). Data on COVID-19, CHW activities, and FHS teams were collected in 2021 by a structured questionnaire. A total of 1,935 CHWs from four state capitals (Fortaleza - Ceará State, João Pessoa - Paraíba State, Recife - Pernambuco State, Teresina - Piauí State) and four hinterland cities (Crato, Juazeiro do Norte, Barbalha, Sobral - Ceará State) participated in the study. Most CHWs were women (82.42%), with mean age 46.25±8.54 years. Many (39.92%) were infected with COVID-19, of which 70.78% believed they were infected in the workplace. A total of 77.82% defined their role as frontline in the fight against COVID-19, 16.07% reported receiving training for COVID-19, and 13.74% had access to sufficient protective equipment. Most (90.27%) believed their work routines were modified by the pandemic, either strengthening (41.46%) or weakening (44.41%) the team spirit. Home visits (60.55%), health promotion actions in schools (75.66%) and in specific community groups (93.96%), and other on-site community services (66.01%) showed a reduction in frequency. The sampled cities revealed a significant heterogeneity regarding responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, possibly associated with a lack of coordination by the Federal Government. Regardless of context, the pandemic led to a reconfiguration of local health systems, workflows, and primary care protocols for FHS teams. The importance of the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS) and its potential for reorganization during crisis should be acknowledged while preserving the headway made thus far.

Abstract: En | Text: En | PDF: En

Ursolic acid (UA) is being investigated due to its anti-inflammatory potential, and structural modifications can enhance its biological activities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunomodulatory effect of the ursolic acid derivatives (UAD) in macrophages and in the carrageenan-induced paw edema model. RAW264.7 cells were cultured in the presence or absence of UA or UAD (1-18). Nitric oxide (NO), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and cellular viability were measured. 30 min before the carrageenan-induced paw edema, the UAD1 and UAD2 (200 mg kg-1) were administered intraperitoneally. The results showed that UAD2-4, UAD7, UAD9-11 had half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) greater than 90 µM and were able to reduce NO, NF-κB and TNF production. Moreover, UAD1 and UAD2 reduced paw edema and IL-6 production. In conclusion, the results obtained demonstrated a variation in the response between the derivatives due to the chemical modifications, showing potential to reduce the inflammatory mediators, deserving further investigations.

Abstract: En | Text: En | PDF: En

A chemical investigation of the stem of Waltheria indica (Malvaceae) yielded twelve 4-quinolone alkaloids, which were primarily waltheriones. These were waltherione A (1), waltherione B (2), waltherione C (3), waltherione G (4), waltherione H (5), waltherione J (6), waltherione L (7), waltherione P (8), chamaedrone (9), 8-deoxy-antidesmone (10), antidesmone (11), and the previously unreported alkaloid N-methoxy-waltherione A (12). These alkaloids belong to an unusual class of 4-quinolones and therefore, have chemosystematic significance for distinguishing the Waltheria and Melochia genera from the rest of the Malvaceae family. The ability of the alkaloid isolates to reverse the phenotypic expression of fluconazole-resistance was tested by using a mutant strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that expressed a Candida albicans transporter. Of the isolates tested, waltherione G afforded a positive result. Leishmanicidal activity and bactericidal tests were also performed using the isolated alkaloids, which showed promising results.

Abstract: En Pt

This guideline aimed to update the concepts and formulate the standards of conduct and scientific evidence that support them, regarding the diagnosis and treatment of the Cardiomyopathy of Chagas disease, with special emphasis on the rationality base that supported it.nbsp; Chagas disease in the 21st century maintains an epidemiological pattern of endemicity in 21 Latin American countries. Researchers and managers from endemic and non-endemic countries point to the need to adopt comprehensive public health policies to effectively control the interhuman transmission of T. cruzi infection, and to obtain an optimized level of care for already infected individuals, focusing on diagnostic and therapeutic opportunistic opportunities. nbsp; Pathogenic and pathophysiological mechanisms of the Cardiomyopathy of Chagas disease were revisited after in-depth updating and the notion that necrosis and fibrosis are stimulated by tissue parasitic persistence and adverse immune reaction, as fundamental mechanisms, assisted by autonomic and microvascular disorders, was well established. Some of them have recently formed potential targets of therapies.nbsp; The natural history of the acute and chronic phases was reviewed, with enhancement for oral transmission, indeterminate form and chronic syndromes. Recent meta-analyses of observational studies have estimated the risk of evolution from acute and indeterminate forms and mortality after chronic cardiomyopathy. Therapeutic approaches applicable to individuals with Indeterminate form of Chagas disease were specifically addressed. All methods to detect structural and/or functional alterations with various cardiac imaging techniques were also reviewed, with recommendations for use in various clinical scenarios. Mortality risk stratification based on the Rassi score, with recent studies of its application, was complemented by methods that detect myocardial fibrosis.nbsp; The current methodology for etiological diagnosis and the consequent implications of trypanonomic treatment deserved a comprehensive and in-depth approach. Also the treatment of patients at risk or with heart failure, arrhythmias and thromboembolic events, based on pharmacological and complementary resources, received special attention. Additional chapters supported the conducts applicable to several special contexts, including t. cruzi/HIV co-infection, risk during surgeries, in pregnant women, in the reactivation of infection after heart transplantation, and others.nbsp; nbsp;nbsp; Finally, two chapters of great social significance, addressing the structuring of specialized services to care for individuals with the Cardiomyopathy of Chagas disease, and reviewing the concepts of severe heart disease and its medical-labor implications completed this guideline.

Esta diretriz teve como objetivo principal atualizar os conceitos e formular as normas de conduta e evidências científicas que as suportam, quanto ao diagnóstico e tratamento da CDC, com especial ênfase na base de racionalidade que a embasou. A DC no século XXI mantém padrão epidemiológico de endemicidade em 21 países da América Latina. Investigadores e gestores de países endêmicos e não endêmicos indigitam a necessidade de se adotarem políticas abrangentes, de saúde pública, para controle eficaz da transmissão inter-humanos da infecção pelo T. cruzi, e obter-se nível otimizado de atendimento aos indivíduos já infectados, com foco em oportunização diagnóstica e terapêutica. Mecanismos patogênicos e fisiopatológicos da CDC foram revisitados após atualização aprofundada e ficou bem consolidada a noção de que necrose e fibrose sejam estimuladas pela persistência parasitária tissular e reação imune adversa, como mecanismos fundamentais, coadjuvados por distúrbios autonômicos e microvasculares. Alguns deles recentemente constituíram alvos potenciais de terapêuticas. A história natural das fases aguda e crônica foi revista, com realce para a transmissão oral, a forma indeterminada e as síndromes crônicas. Metanálises recentes de estudos observacionais estimaram o risco de evolução a partir das formas aguda e indeterminada e de mortalidade após instalação da cardiomiopatia crônica. Condutas terapêuticas aplicáveis aos indivíduos com a FIDC foram abordadas especificamente. Todos os métodos para detectar alterações estruturais e/ou funcionais com variadas técnicas de imageamento cardíaco também foram revisados, com recomendações de uso nos vários cenários clínicos. Estratificação de risco de mortalidade fundamentada no escore de Rassi, com estudos recentes de sua aplicação, foi complementada por métodos que detectam fibrose miocárdica. A metodologia atual para diagnóstico etiológico e as consequentes implicações do tratamento tripanossomicida mereceram enfoque abrangente e aprofundado. Também o tratamento de pacientes em risco ou com insuficiência cardíaca, arritmias e eventos tromboembólicos, baseado em recursos farmacológicos e complementares, recebeu especial atenção. Capítulos suplementares subsidiaram as condutas aplicáveis a diversos contextos especiais, entre eles o da co-infecção por T. cruzi/HIV, risco durante cirurgias, em grávidas, na reativação da infecção após transplante cardíacos, e outros.nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; Por fim, dois capítulos de grande significado social, abordando a estruturação de serviços especializados para atendimento aos indivíduos com a CDC, e revisando os conceitos de cardiopatia grave e suas implicações médico-trabalhistas completaram esta diretriz.nbsp;

Abstract The aim of this study was to identify the main animal species that act on carcasses of large ungulates and their potential as taphonomic agents in an area near the southern end of the Salinas Grandes de Córdoba. To this end, three camera-trap surveys were conducted on Bos taurus and Lama guanicoe carcasses, covering 194 trap days between November 2017 and May 2019. In addition, preliminary observations were made of the disarticulation, dispersal, and traces generated by different taphonomic agents acting on the carcasses in order to contribute to the understanding of the natural formation processes of zooarchaeological assemblages in the region. The monitoring recorded 5869 animals and identified 30 species. The data suggested that modifications observed on carcasses in the region may have been produced by a variety of animals that exceeds those usually considered in zooarchaeological studies. The species with the greatest potential to generate taphonomic modifications were the native mammal, Lycalopex griseus, and two introduced mammals, Sus scrofa and Canis lupus familiaris. The activity of L. griseus is notable for having been recorded both in the early stages of decomposition and on a skeletonized carcass. S. scrofa and C. lupus familiaris activity occurred in the immediate post-mortem stages and was mainly responsible for bone dispersal and destruction. Among birds, accipitriformes and falconiformes were recorded consuming the carcasses, but their potential to generate detectable traces in the archaeological record is uncertain. Finally, trampling by large ungulates was recorded.

Resumen El objetivo de este trabajo consistió en identificar las principales especies animales que actúan sobre carcasas de ungulados de gran porte en un área cercana al extremo austral de las Salinas Grandes de Córdoba y su potencial como agentes tafonómicos. Con este fin, se realizaron tres monitoreos con cámaras trampa sobre carcasas de Bos taurus . Lama guanicoe y se completaron 194 días-trampa entre noviembre de 2017 y mayo de 2019. Además, se efectuaron observaciones preliminares sobre desarticulación, dispersión y trazas generadas por distintos agentes tafonómicos sobre las carcasas, a fin de contribuir a nuestro entendimiento sobre los procesos naturales de formación de conjuntos zooarqueológicos en la región. Los monitoreos permitieron registrar 5869 animales e identificar 30 especies. Nuestro registro sugiere que las modificaciones observadas en las carcasas de la región pueden ser producidas por una variedad de animales que excede a los habitualmente considerados en estudios zooarqueológicos. Las especies con mayor potencial de generar modificaciones tafonómicas fueron un mamífero autóctono, Lycalopex griseus, y dos introducidos, Sus scrofa y Canis lupus familiaris. La actividad de L. griseus fue registrada tanto en las etapas iniciales de descomposición como en una carcasa esqueletizada. S. scrofa y C. lupus familiaris se presentaron en las etapas inmediatamente post mortemy fueron los principales responsables de la dispersión y destrucción ósea. Entre las aves, se destaca la presencia de accipitriformes y falconiformes consumiendo las carcasas, pero su potencial para generar trazas detectables en el registro arqueológico es incierto. Por último, se detectó pisoteo por parte de grandes ungulados.

RESUMO Objetivo: objetiva-se, com este artigo, introduzir algumas contribuições do conceito de conatus para a pesquisa sobre sucessão em empresas familiares. Métodos: a sucessão tem sido uma das temáticas mais discutidas no campo de estudos sobre empresas familiares. O presente trabalho, de natureza teórica, procura agregar contribuições a essa literatura, compreendendo a dinâmica da sucessão através da exploração do quadro teórico-conceitual desenvolvido por Bourdieu. Resultados: o conatus pode ser interpretado como um projeto cultivado pela família e que deve ser perpetuado para e pelas futuras gerações. Assim, a compreensão da sucessão a partir deste conceito permite, dentre outras possibilidades, apreender as particularidades da transmissão do projeto construído pelo fundador para as gerações sucessoras da família, que seriam os responsáveis por perpetuar ou não o conatus. Conclusão: o conceito de conatus, posicionado no âmbito do quadro teórico-analítico mais amplo trabalhado por Bourdieu, oferece alternativas para a compreensão e a explicação da sucessão em empresas familiares de uma forma mais consistente e aproximada da realidade observada nesses processos, fornecendo fundamentos que podem contribuir para a elucidação de perspectivas ainda pouco exploradas na literatura sobre esse tipo de organização.

ABSTRACT Objective: the purpose of this paper is to introduce some contributions of the conatus concept to the research of family business succession. Methods: succession is one of the most discussed topics in family business research. Hence, this theoretical paper aims to collaborate to the field through the exploration of Bourdieu’s conceptual framework. Results: the conatus is a family project that should be perpetuated for and by its future generations. The understanding of succession processes through this concept enables, among other possibilities, the comprehension of elements such as the transmission of a founder’s project to next generations of a business family responsible for the conatus perpetuation. Conclusion: the conatus, a concept positioned within Bourdieu’s broader theoretical framework, offers alternatives for understanding and explaining the succession in family businesses in a more consistent, precise way, thus providing analytical foundations that can contribute for deepening our knowledge on still little explored topics in the field.

Resumo A manga (Mangifera indica L.) tem grande importância socioeconômica no Brasil, porém sua produção é afetada pela antracnose. Filmes de quitosana têm demonstrado potencial no controle desta doença. Neste estudo, avaliou-se a associação de quitosana com compostos fenólicos e extratos no desenvolvimento de Colletotrichum tropicale. Compostos fenólicos e extratos da casca da manga foram incorporados às soluções de quitosana a 2,0% e testados in vitro. No experimento in vivo, após a inoculação do patógeno e a aplicação dos tratamentos, os frutos foram avaliados quanto à incidência e à severidade da antracnose. As testemunhas consistiram na aplicação de água ou no meio de cultura puro e do fungicida imazalil (2,0 mL .L-1). O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, e os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância. No teste in vitro e na avaliação da intensidade de doença, as médias foram comparadas pelos testes de Scott-Knott e Tukey (p <0,05), respectivamente. As testemunhas foram comparadas aos demais tratamentos pelo teste de Dunnett (p <0,05). Inibição total do crescimento, produção de conídios e germinação de C. tropicale foram verificadas com incorporação à quitosana dos ácidos cítrico, pirocatecoico e transcinâmico, não havendo diferença significativa entre eles e o fungicida. Foi verificada baixa incidência e severidade de antracnose nas mangas tratadas com quitosana, combinada com compostos fenólicos.

Abstract Mango (Mangifera indica L.) has great socioeconomic importance to Brazil, but its production is affected by anthracnose. Chitosan films have shown potential in controlling this disease. In this study, the effect of the association of chitosan with phenolic compounds and extracts on the Colletotrichum tropicaledevelopment was evaluated. Phenolic compounds and extracts from mango peel were incorporated into 2.0% chitosan solutions and tested in vitro. In the in vivo experiment, after pathogen inoculation and application of treatments, fruits were evaluated for anthracnose incidence and severity. Controls consisted of the application of water or pure culture medium and fungicide imazalil. The experimental design was completely randomized and data were submitted to analysis of variance. In the in vitro test and in the assessment of disease intensity, means were compared using the Scott-Knott and Tukey tests (p <0.05), respectively. Controls were compared to the other treatments using the Dunnett test (p <0.05). Total growth inhibition, conidia production and C. tropicale germination were verified with the incorporation of citric, pyrocatecoic and transcinamic acids to chitosan, with no significant difference between them and the fungicide. Low anthracnose incidence and severity was observed in mangoes treated with chitosan combined with phenolic compounds.

OBJECTIVES: To prospectively evaluate demographic, anthropometric and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in pediatric patients with laboratory-confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) METHODS: This was a longitudinal observational study of surviving pediatric post-COVID-19 patients (n=53) and pediatric subjects without laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 included as controls (n=52) was performed. RESULTS: The median duration between COVID-19 diagnosis (n=53) and follow-up was 4.4 months (0.8-10.7). Twenty-three of 53 (43%) patients reported at least one persistent symptom at the longitudinal follow-up visit and 12/53 (23%) had long COVID-19, with at least one symptom lasting for >12 weeks. The most frequently reported symptoms at the longitudinal follow-up visit were headache (19%), severe recurrent headache (9%), tiredness (9%), dyspnea (8%), and concentration difficulty (4%). At the longitudinal follow-up visit, the frequencies of anemia (11% versus 0%, p=0.030), lymphopenia (42% versus 18%, p=0.020), C-reactive protein level of >30 mg/L (35% versus 0%, p=0.0001), and D-dimer level of >1000 ng/mL (43% versus 6%, p=0.0004) significantly reduced compared with baseline values. Chest X-ray abnormalities (11% versus 2%, p=0.178) and cardiac alterations on echocardiogram (33% versus 22%, p=0.462) were similar at both visits. Comparison of characteristic data between patients with COVID-19 at the longitudinal follow-up visit and controls showed similar age (p=0.962), proportion of male sex (p=0.907), ethnicity (p=0.566), family minimum monthly wage (p=0.664), body mass index (p=0.601), and pediatric pre-existing chronic conditions (p=1.000). The Pediatric Quality of Live Inventory 4.0 scores, median physical score (69 [0-100] versus 81 [34-100], p=0.012), and school score (60 [15-100] versus 70 [15-95], p=0.028) were significantly lower in pediatric patients with COVID-19 at the longitudinal follow-up visit than in controls. CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric patients with COVID-19 showed a longitudinal impact on HRQoL parameters, particularly in physical/school domains, reinforcing the need for a prospective multidisciplinary approach for these patients. These data highlight the importance of closer monitoring of children and adolescents by the clinical team after COVID-19.
