Abstract This article seeks to identify user satisfaction in relation to wheelchairs and the provision of public and private health services in the Baixada Santista Metropolitan Region. It involved a cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. Participants answered a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Brazilian version of the Quebec Assistive Technology User Satisfaction Assessment. Data were analyzed using descriptive and comparative statistics by means of Student’s t test. Cohen’s d effect sizes were also calculated. Participants (n = 42) were “more or less satisfied” with the wheelchairs and “quite satisfied” with the services provided. Rigid frame wheelchair users were significantly more satisfied with their wheelchairs compared to users of wheelchairs weighing over 198 lbs. (p = 0.010, d = 1.04). Users of private services showed significantly greater satisfaction with the provision of the service compared to public services users (p = 0.021, d = 0.75). Wheelchair users in the Baixada Santista Metropolitan Region are more satisfied with the rigid frame wheelchair and less satisfied with public services.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é identificar a satisfação dos usuários em relação às cadeiras de rodas e à prestação de serviços públicos e privados de saúde da Região Metropolitana da Baixada Santista. Estudo transversal com abordagem quantitativa. Os participantes responderam a um questionário sociodemográfico e à versão brasileira do Quebec Assistive Technology User Satisfaction Assessment. Os dados foram analisados utilizando a estatística descritiva e comparativa por meio do teste t de Student. Os tamanhos de efeito d de Cohen foram calculados. Os participantes (n = 42) estavam “mais ou menos satisfeitos” com as cadeiras de rodas e “pouco satisfeitos” com a prestação de serviços. Os usuários de cadeiras de rodas monobloco apresentaram satisfação significativamente maior com suas cadeiras em comparação com usuários de cadeiras de rodas acima de 90kg (p = 0,010, d = 1,04). Os usuários de serviços privados apresentaram satisfação significativamente maior com a prestação de serviço em comparação aos usuários de serviços públicos (p = 0,021, d = 0,75). Os usuários de cadeiras de rodas da Região Metropolitana da Baixada Santista estão mais satisfeitos com as cadeiras de rodas monobloco e menos satisfeitos com os serviços públicos.

Resumen Introducción: el progreso en los tratamientos para el lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES) resultó en una disminución de la mortalidad; sin embargo, la enfermedad cardiovascular y las complicaciones infecciosas aún son las principales causas de muerte. La evidencia apoya la participación del sistema inmunológico en la generación de la placa aterosclerótica, así como su conexión con las enfermedades autoinmunes. Objetivos: describir la frecuencia de eventos cardiovasculares (ECV) en el Registro de Lupus Eritematoso Sistémico de la Sociedad Argentina de Reumatología (RELESSAR) transversal, así como sus principales factores de riesgo asociados. Materiales y métodos: estudio descriptivo y transversal para el cual se tomaron los pacientes ingresados en el registro RELESSAR transversal. Se describieron las variables sociodemográficas y clínicas, las comorbilidades, score de actividad y daño. ECV se definió como la presencia de al menos una de las siguientes patologías: enfermedad arterial periférica, cardiopatía isquémica o accidente cerebrovascular. El evento clasificado para el análisis fue aquel posterior al diagnóstico del LES. Se conformaron dos grupos macheados por edad y sexo 1:2. Resultados: 1515 pacientes mayores de 18 años participaron del registro. Se describieron 80 pacientes con ECV (5,3%). En este análisis se incluyeron 240 pacientes conformando dos grupos. La edad media fue de 47,8 (14,4) y 47,6 (14,2) en el grupo con y sin ECV respectivamente. Los pacientes con ECV tuvieron mayor duración del LES en meses, mayor índice de Charlson, mayor SLICC (Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology), mayor frecuencia de manifestaciones neurológicas, síndrome antifosfolípido, hospitalizaciones y uso de ciclofosfamida. Las únicas variables asociadas en el análisis multivariado fueron el índice de Charlson (p=0,004) y el SLICC (p<0,001). Conclusiones: los ECV influyen significativamente en nuestros pacientes, y se asocian a mayor posibilidad de daño irreversible y comorbilidades.

Abstract Introduction: progress in treatments for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has resulted in a decrease in mortality; however, cardiovascular and infectious diseases remain the leading causes of death. Evidence supports the involvement of the immune system in the generation of atherosclerotic plaque, as well as its connection to autoimmune diseases. Objectives: to describe the frequency of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the cross-sectional RELESSAR registry, as well as its associated variables. Materials and methods: a descriptive and cross-sectional study was performed using patients admitted to the cross-sectional RELESSAR registry. Sociodemographic variables, clinical variables, comorbidities, activity and damage scores were described. CVD was defined as at least one of the following: peripheral arterial disease, ischemic heart disease, or cerebrovascular accident. All patients with at least one CVD were included in our analysis (heart attack, central nervous system vascular disease, and peripheral arteries atherosclerotic disease). The event classified for the analysis was that after the diagnosis of SLE. SLE diagnosis was previous to CVD. Two groups matched by age and sex, 1:2 were formed. Results: a total of 1515 patients older than 18 years participated in the registry. Eighty patients with CVD (5.3%) were described in the registry. Two-hundred and forty patients were included, according to two groups. The mean age was 47.8 (SD 14.4) and 47.6 (SD 14.2) in patients with and without CVD, respectively. Patients with CVD had a longer duration of SLE in months, a higher Charlson index, a higher SLICC, increased frequency of neurological manifestations, antiphospholipid syndrome, hospitalizations, and use of cyclophosphamide. The associated variables in the multivariate were the Charlson Index (p=0.004) and the SLICC (p<0.001). Conclusions: CVDs have a significant influence on our patients, being associated with a greater possibility of damage and comorbidities.

ABSTRACT Mozambique is a country located in the southwest of the African continent. The country has great climatic diversity. The tropical monsoon (Am), tropical savanna (Aw), hot semiarid (BSh), and humid subtropical (Cwa and Cfa) and subtropical highland (Cwb) climates stand out. The regions classified a subtropical have climatic potential for the rational exploitation low and medium chill requirement of peach trees. There are already technologies for the cultivation of peach trees in subtropical regions in Brazil. The objective of this study was to identify the zoning of suitable areas and provide bases for the establishment and expansion of peach cultivation in Mozambique. Meteorological data from 108 stations and the geotechnological tool ArcGIS 10.1 were used to spatialize temperature, rainfall, and humidity data and then reclassify them for the generation of maps using the Geostatistical Analyst extension. In parallel, maps of mean annual temperatures and climate classification were used. Regions in the subtropical areas of Mozambique with suitable temperature and rainfall are viable for peach plantations. The results showed the Northwest, Central and South regions is more suitable for the economic exploitation of peaches trees.

ABSTRACT Cycloplegia is crucial for reliable pediatric ophthalmology examinations. This document provides a recommendation for pediatric cycloplegia and mydriasis for Brazilian ophthalmologists. This article was developed based on literature reviews; the clinical experience of Brazilian specialists, as obtained through questionnaires; and the consensus of the Expert Committee of the Brazilian Pediatric Ophthalmology Society. According to the best evidence and formulations available in Brazil, this committee recommends the use of one drop of 1% cyclopentolate plus one drop of 1% tropicamide in children older than 6 months and two drops of 1% tropicamide 0-5 minutes apart for those younger than 6 months. Mydriasis may be increased by a single drop of 2.5% phenylephrine. For retinopathy of prematurity screening, the recommendation is 0.5% or 1% tropicamide, administered two or three times, 5 minutes apart, and 2.5% phenylephrine, used preferably once. In all scenarios, we recommend the use of a prior drop of 0.5% proxymetacaine.

RESUMO A cicloplegia é crucial para um exame oftalmológico pediátrico acurado. Este documento visa a fornecer uma recomendação para cicloplegia e midríase pediátrica para oftalmologistas brasileiros. Foi desenvolvido com base em revisão literária, na experiência clínica de especialistas brasileiros, por meio de questionários, e no consenso do comitê de especialistas da Sociedade Brasileira de Oftalmologia Pediátrica (SBOP). De acordo com as melhores evidências, este comitê recomenda o uso de uma gota de ciclopentolato 1%, mais uma gota de tropicamida 1% em crianças maiores de 6 meses e duas gotas de tropicamida 1% com intervalo de 0-5 minutos para menores de 6 meses. A midríase pode ser potencializada por uma gota de fenilefrina 2,5%. Para o rastreamento da retinopatia da prematuridade, a recomendação é tropicamida 0,5 ou 1%, duas ou três vezes, com 5 minutos de intervalo, e 2,5% de fenilefrina, preferencialmente uma vez. O uso prévio de proxymetacaína 0,5% é sempre recomendado.

Abstract This scientific essay analyses and discusses the concept of interculturality across the work of the musician Robert Plant, from his early career to the present day. We seek to contribute to what we call the “intersectional mainstream” and to understand the locus of interculturality throughout the singer’s 40-year career. Our main question is: what are the musical limits of Plant, who is recognised as one of the greatest rockers of all time and who has always sought dialogue with other musical genres and cultures? To answer this and other questions, we based our text on the theoretical communication assumptions of Muniz Sodré’s (2006, 2014), and Néstor García Canclini’s (2005) and Homi K. Bhabha’s (1998/2014) postcolonial precepts on interculturality. Based on the analysis of Plant’s work, we conclude that the musician’s challenging approach of dialogues and intersections remains to this day, cyclical and dialectical, the guiding star of the artist, who is not content to be just mainstream, much less a static mainstream, but an artist immersed in cultural dialogues and always willing to transcend market barriers.

Resumo Este ensaio científico analisa e discute o conceito de interculturalidade ao longo da obra do músico Robert Plant, desde o começo da carreira até os dias atuais. Procuramos avançar na constituição do que denominamos “mainstream interseccional” e compreender o local da interculturalidade ao longo dos mais de 40 anos de carreira do cantor. Nosso principal questionamento é: quais os limites musicais de Plant, reconhecido por ser um dos principais roqueiros de todos os tempos e que sempre buscou dialogar com outros gêneros musicais e culturas? Para responder esta e outras questões decorrentes, nosso texto está baseado nos pressupostos teóricos comunicacionais de Muniz Sodré (2006, 2014) e nos preceitos pós-coloniais sobre interculturalidade de Néstor García Canclini (2005) e Homi K. Bhabha (1998/2014). Com base nas análises realizadas da obra de Plant, concluímos que a postura desafiadora de diálogos e atravessamentos do músico permanece até hoje, de forma cíclica e dialética, sendo a estrela-guia do artista, que não se contenta em ser somente mainstream, muito menos um mainstream estático, mas um artista imerso em diálogos culturais e sempre disposto a transpor barreiras mercadológicas.

Resumen La enfermedad relacionada con IgG4 (ER-IgG4) se caracteriza por el compromiso fibrótico e infiltrado linfoplasmocitario con predominio de células IgG4 en uno o varios órganos. El fenotipo limitado a la cabeza y el cuello abarca el compromiso de las glándulas lagrimales y salivares, enfermedad orbitaria, paquimeningitis, hipofisitis, tiroiditis, mastoiditis y compromiso de senos paranasales. Las manifestaciones orbitarias pueden incluir proptosis uni o bilateral, miopatía cicatrizal de los músculos extraoculares, inflamación orbitaria y dolor que pueden simular a la oftalmopatía de Graves. La enfermedad oftálmica relacionada con IgG4 puede presentarse con compromiso de músculos extraoculares y de grasa orbitaria, y usualmente se confunde con afección orbitaria por enfermedad de Graves. Se presenta el caso de un varón de 58 años, con historia de exoftalmos bilateral de más de 15 años de evolución, en quien se arriba al diagnóstico de ER-IgG4 y cuya resonancia magnética de órbitas evidencia un patrón característico de compromiso de músculos extraoculares.

Abstract IgG4-related disease (IgG4-ER) is characterized by fibrotic involvement and lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate with IgG4 cells predominance in one or several tissues. The head and neck phenotype includes lacrimal and salivary gland involvement, orbital disease, pachymeningitis, hypophysitis, thyroiditis, mastoiditis, and sinus involvement. Orbital manifestations may include unilateral or bilateral proptosis, extraocular muscles scarring, orbital inflammation, and pain that may mimic Graves' ophthalmopathy. IgG4-related ophthalmic disease may present with extraocular muscles and orbital fat involvement and is often confused with orbital Graves' disease. We present the case of a 58-year-old man, with a history of bilateral exophthalmos of more than 15 years, in whom the diagnosis of IgG4-ER was reached and whose orbits magnetic resonance showed a characteristic pattern of extraocular muscle involvement.

Resumo: O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a tendência de atividade física dos escolares brasileiros e as associações com variáveis demográficas, socioeconômicas e comportamentais, por meio da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Escolar (PeNSE) em suas quatro edições - 2009, 2012, 2015 e 2019. Foram usados dados dos escolares (13-17 anos) participantes das quatro edições da PeNSE (n = 392.922). Descrevemos o percentual de ativos, a média e valores percentuais da atividade física de intensidade moderada à vigorosa em minutos/semana. A regressão de Poisson foi ajustada para sexo, idade, cor da pele, escore de bens e comportamento sedentário (≥ 2 horas/dia para assistir TV e ≥ 3 horas/dia de tempo sentado). Como limitação, a amostra da PeNSE/2009 refere-se apenas às capitais brasileiras. O percentual de ativos reduziu de 43,1% em 2009 para 18,2% em 2019. A média em atividade física de intensidade moderada à vigorosa da PeNSE/2009 (média = 318,4 minutos/semana; IC95%: 313,4-323,4) reduziu 50% em 2019. Na educação física, a média semanal em atividade física de intensidade moderada à vigorosa das meninas foi menor que 50 minutos, ao passo que a dos meninos foi maior que 60 minutos, nas quatro edições da PeNSE. Ainda, 22,7% das meninas relataram (PeNSE/2019) não ter tido aulas de educação física, enquanto o mesmo é relatado por 19,7% dos meninos. O comportamento sedentário sofreu redução no hábito de assistir TV, porém o tempo sentado aumentou de 50,1% (IC95%: 48,9-51,3) para 54% (IC95%: 53,1-54,9) entre a PeNSE/2009 e a PeNSE/2019. Como consequência da queda nos níveis de atividade física, são necessárias políticas públicas que promovam a atividade física, como aumentar as aulas de educação física na escola para, no mínimo, três vezes por semana.

Abstract: This study aimed to analyze the physical activity trend of Brazilian schoolchildren and the associations with demographic, socioeconomic, and behavioral variables by using the Brazilian National Survey of School Health (PeNSE) in its four editions - 2009, 2012, 2015, and 2019. Data from students (13-17 years old) participating in the four editions of the PeNSE (n = 392,922) were used. We describe the percentage of active, mean, and percentile values of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity in minutes/week. Poisson’s regression was adjusted for gender, age, skin color, goods score, and sedentary behavior (≥ 2 hours/day watching TV and ≥ 3 hours/day sitting time). As a limitation, the PeNSE/2009 sample refers only to the Brazilian capital cities. The percentage of active students decreased from 43.1% in 2009 to 18.2% in 2019. The mean moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity of PeNSE/2009 (mean = 318.4 minutes/week; 95%CI: 313.4-323.4) decreased 50% in 2019. In physical education, the weekly average in moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity of girls is less than 50 minutes and boys is greater than 60 minutes in the four editions of PeNSE, also 22.7% of girls reported (PeNSE/2019) not having taken physical education classes whereas the same thing is reported by 19.7% of boys. Sedentary behavior reduced regarding time watching TV, but sitting time increased by 50.1% (95%CI: 48.9-51.3) and 54% (95%CI: 53.1-54.9) between PeNSE/2009 and PeNSE/2019. As a consequence of the drop in physical activity levels, public policies that promote physical activity are necessary, including increasing physical education classes at school to at least three times a week.

Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la tendencia de la actividad física del alumnado brasileño y sus asociaciones con las variables demográficas, socioeconómicas y de comportamiento mediante la Encuesta Nacional de Salud del Escolar (PeNSE) en sus cuatro ediciones (de 2009, 2012, 2015 y 2019). Se utilizaron los datos del alumnado (13-17 años) que participó en las cuatro ediciones de la PeNSE (n = 392.922). Se describieron el porcentaje de valores activos, la media y los valores percentiles de actividad física de intensidad moderada a vigorosa en minutos/semana. La regresión de Poisson se ajustó según sexo, edad, color de la piel, puntuación de activos y comportamiento sedentario (≥ 2 horas/día para ver televisión y ≥ 3 horas/día sentado). Como limitación, la muestra de la PeNSE/2009 se refiere únicamente a las capitales brasileñas. El porcentaje de activos disminuyó del 43,1% en 2009 al 18,2% en 2019. La media de actividad física de intensidad moderada a vigorosa de la PeNSE/2009 (media = 318,4 minutos/semana; IC95%: 313,4-323,4) tuvo una reducción de un 50% en 2019. En educación física, el promedio semanal en actividad física de intensidad moderada a vigorosa de las niñas fue menos de 50 minutos, y el de los niños llegó a 60 minutos en las cuatro ediciones de la PeNSE, además, el 22,7% de las niñas y el 19,7% de los niños (PeNSE/2019) informaron no haber tomado clases de educación física. Hubo una disminución en el comportamiento sedentario de ver televisión, pero el tiempo sentado aumentó del 50,1% (IC95%: 48,9-51,3) al 54% (IC95%: 53,1-54,9) entre la PeNSE/2009 y la PeNSE/2019. El descenso de los niveles de actividad física lleva a la necesidad de desarrollar políticas públicas que promuevan la actividad física, incluido el incremento de las clases de educación física en las escuelas al menos tres veces por semana.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the oral health of adolescents who participated in an oral health preventive program during the first decade of life. Material and Methods: For the evaluation of dental caries and gingival condition, DMFT and Community Periodontal Index were used, both recommended by the World Health Organization. To verify the occurrence of dental fluorosis, the Dean index was used. Results: Data collection was obtained from 252 patients aged 12 to 16 years. The average DMFT index was 1.14; in relation to the gingival condition, the index of healthy gingival tissue prevailed and the average of this value was 84%, with code 0 being more registered in tooth 11, code 1, more frequently in teeth 16/17 and 36/37 and for last, code 2, in tooth 31 most frequently. Dean's index showed a percentage of 89% of patients without clinical signs of dental fluorosis. Conclusion: Adolescents participating in an oral health preventive program in the first decade of life exhibited very satisfactory results regarding the prevention of caries disease, healthy periodontal condition and reduced prevalence of dental fluorosis.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the epidemiological and occupational profile of health workers notified for COVID-19 in Brazil, in the years 2020 and 2021. Method: this is an ecological study, which used data from the Information System of Notifiable Diseases (SINAN) and the Annual Social Information List (RAIS), from the years 2020 and 2021. Sociodemographic and occupational variables were analyzed. The prevalence rates of COVID-19 in health workers were calculated, modeled by Poisson regression in the Stata 14 software. Results: in 2020 and 2021, 35,545 health workers were affected by COVID-19. A higher prevalence of the disease was observed in females (79.0%), between 30 and 49 years (65.5%) and in blacks and browns (41.4%). Higher rates were observed in women (793.9/100,000 in 2020), young workers (839.9/100,000 in 2020), non-whites (1,497.4/100,000 in 2020) and in northern Brazil, with 1,688.1 cases per 100,000 workers in 2020. Nursing professionals, physicians and physical therapists had the highest rates of the disease in 2020 and 2021. Conclusion: there was a difference between the sexes, as well as social, racial and occupational inequities that reflect the need to expand health surveillance measures in order to ensure greater prevention, protection and assistance to health workers.

RESUMEN Objetivo: analizar el perfil epidemiológico y ocupacional de los trabajadores de la salud notificados por COVID-19 en Brasil, en los años 2020 y 2021. Método: se trata de un estudio ecológico, que utilizó datos del Sistema de Información de Enfermedades de Declaración Obligatoria (SINAN) y del Registro Anual de Información Social (RAIS), de los años 2020 y 2021. Se analizaron variables sociodemográficas y ocupacionales. Se calcularon las tasas de prevalencia de COVID-19 en trabajadores de la salud, modeladas por regresión de Poisson en el software Stata 14. Resultados: En 2020 y 2021, 35.545 trabajadores de la salud se vieron afectados por COVID-19. Se observó una mayor prevalencia de la enfermedad en el sexo femenino (79,0%), entre 30 y 49 años (65,5%) y en negros y pardos (41,4%). Se observaron tasas más altas en mujeres (793,9/100.000 en 2020), trabajadores jóvenes (839,9/100.000 en 2020), no blancos (1.497,4/100.000 en 2020) y en el norte de Brasil, con 1.688,1 casos por 100.000 trabajadores en 2020. Profesionales de enfermería, médicos y fisioterapeutas tuvieron las tasas más altas de la enfermedad en 2020 y 2021. Conclusión: hubo diferencia entre los sexos, así como desigualdades sociales, raciales y ocupacionales que reflejan la necesidad de ampliar las medidas de vigilancia de la salud para garantizar una mayor prevención, protección y asistencia a los trabajadores de la salud.

RESUMO Objetivo: analisar o perfil epidemiológico e ocupacional dos trabalhadores da saúde notificados para COVID-19 no Brasil, nos anos de 2020 e 2021. Método: trata-se de um estudo ecológico, que utilizou dados do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) e da Relação Anual de Informações Sociais (RAIS), dos anos de 2020 e 2021. Analisaram-se variáveis sociodemográficas e ocupacionais. Foram calculadas as taxas de prevalência de COVID-19 em trabalhadores da saúde, modeladas por Regressão de Poisson no software Stata 14. Resultados: em 2020 e 2021, 35.545 trabalhadores da saúde foram acometidos pela COVID-19. Observou-se maior prevalência da doença no sexo feminino (79,0%), entre 30 e 49 anos (65,5%) e em pretos e pardos (41,4%). Foram observadas maiores taxas em mulheres (793,9/100.000 em 2020), trabalhadores jovens (839,9/100.000 em 2020), não brancos (1.497,4/100.000 em 2020) e no Norte do Brasil, com 1.688,1 casos a cada 100.000 trabalhadores em 2020. Profissionais da enfermagem, médicos e fisioterapeutas apresentaram as maiores taxas da doença em 2020 e 2021. Conclusão: observou-se diferença entre os sexos, bem como iniquidades sociais, raciais e ocupacionais que traduzem a necessidade de ampliar medidas de vigilância em saúde, a fim de garantir maior prevenção, proteção e assistência aos trabalhadores de saúde.
