Abstract: En Es Pt

In light of the need for social isolation caused by the pandemic, in-person classes were suspended, making way for emergency remote teaching (ERT). This abrupt transition allowed for no planning or preparation for the individuals involved in the teaching-learning process. In this context, it fell upon the educators to adapt to this new, atypical reality. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics and challenges faced by teachers at IF Sudeste MG - Campus Rio Pomba during ERT and its impacts on the teaching-learning process. To achieve this, a structured questionnaire with the participation of 41 educators was used. Difficulties related to pedagogical training, use of technological tools and active teaching methodologies (ATM), and the adaptive process of educators were highlighted. Educators did not consider ERT capable of efficiently fulfilling the objectives of the disciplines, although they acknowledged the necessary institutional support. The self-assessment of teaching performance during ERT was predominantly positive. Prior to ERT, the use of ATM was lower, especially among educators above 40 years old and males; furthermore, difficulties in using ATM increased with age, with more males reporting not using them. The adaptation to ERT was considered moderate, and more educators aged 40 to 49 reported dissatisfaction with the work environment. Educators above 40 years old and females had a higher incidence of negative psychological symptoms during ERT. This study highlights the challenges educators faced during ERT, especially those over 40 years old and females.

Ante la necesidad de aislamiento social causada por la pandemia, las clases presenciales fueron suspendidas dando paso a la enseñanza remota de emergencia (ERE). Esta transición abrupta no permitió ningún tipo de planificación o preparación para los actores involucrados en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. En este contexto, a los docentes les correspondió el desafío de adaptarse a esta nueva realidad atípica. El objetivo de este estudio fue describir las características y desafíos enfrentados por los profesores del IF Sudeste MG - Campus Rio Pomba durante la ERE y sus impactos en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Se aplicó un cuestionario estructurado con la participación de 41 docentes. Se evidenciaron dificultades relacionadas con la formación pedagógica, el uso de herramientas tecnológicas y de metodologías activas de enseñanza (MAE). Los docentes no consideraron que la ERE fuera capaz de cumplir eficientemente con los objetivos de las disciplinas, a pesar de reconocer el apoyo institucional necesario. La autoevaluación del desempeño docente durante la ERE fue predominantemente positiva. Antes de la ERE, el uso de MAE era menor, especialmente entre los docentes mayores de 40 años y los hombres; además, las dificultades en el uso de MAE aumentaron con la edad, siendo que más hombres informaron no utilizarlas. La adaptación a la ERE fue considerada moderada, y más docentes de 40 a 49 años informaron insatisfacción con el ambiente de trabajo. Los docentes mayores de 40 años y las mujeres tuvieron una incidencia de síntomas psicológicos negativos durante la ERE y enfrentaron mayores desafíos.

Diante da necessidade do isolamento social causada pela pandemia, as aulas presenciais foram suspensas dando lugar ao ensino remoto emergencial (ERE). Essa migração abrupta não permitiu nenhum planejamento ou preparação dos atores envolvidos no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Nesse contexto, coube ao docente o desafio de adaptar-se a essa nova realidade atípica. Dessa forma, objetivou-se com o presente estudo, descrever as características e desafios enfrentados pelos professores do IF Sudeste MG - Campus Rio Pomba durante o ERE e seus impactos no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Para isso, foi utilizado um questionário estruturado com participação de 41 docentes. Dificuldades relacionadas a formação pedagógica, uso de ferramentas tecnológicas e de metodologias ativas de ensino (MAE) e processo adaptativo dos docentes foram evidenciadas. Docentes não consideraram o ERE capaz de suprir eficientemente os objetivos das disciplinas, apesar de considerarem que houve apoio institucional necessário. A autoavaliação do desempenho docente durante o ERE foi predominantemente positiva. Antes do ERE, o uso de MAE era menor, especialmente entre os docentes acima de 40 anos e homens, além disso, as dificuldades do uso de MAE aumentaram com a idade, sendo que mais homens relataram não as utilizar. A adaptação ao ERE foi considerada mediana e, mais docentes de 40 a 49 anos relataram insatisfação com o ambiente de trabalho. Docentes acima de 40 anos e mulheres tiveram maior incidência de sintomas psicológicos negativos no ERE. Esse trabalho evidencia o desafio que os docentes passaram durante o ERE, especialmente para aqueles maiores de 40 anos e mulheres.

Abstract Objective: To compare the clinical effect of two desensitizing agents used before the application of a bleaching gel based on 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP). Material and Methods: 30 patients were selected, and two desensitizing agents with different mechanisms of action were applied: Fluorine Neutral 2% (FN), which acts by blocking dentinal canaliculi while Potassium Nitrate 5% with 2% Sodium Fluoride (PN/SF) that acts in nerve transmission and blockade. Desensitizers were used before the application of 35% HP. For whitening, three clinical sessions were performed, with an interval of seven days, with three applications of the bleaching gel for 15 minutes, totaling 45 minutes/session. Tooth sensitivity (TS) was assessed with the numerical analog scale, and a spectrophotometer was used to obtain the color variation (ΔE). ΔE were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey test (p<0.05), and TS data were submitted to a two-way ANOVA analysis. Results: For sensitivity experience, the Tukey test indicated differences between PN/SF and the placebo I, but there was no statistically significant difference between FN and the placebo II. The TS was lower when the desensitizing gel was used during the bleaching procedure compared to after treatment, regardless of the desensitizing agents. Conclusion: PN/SF before in-office tooth bleaching can reduce TS intensity, and the use of desensitizing gel before bleaching did not affect the bleaching efficacy.

Este trabajo presenta un estudio cualitativo sobre el abordaje del sufrimiento mental común (SMC) en programas de residencia de Medicina de Familia y Comunidad del estado de Minas Gerais. Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas con 16 participantes de tres programas de residencia, entre marzo y mayo de 2022. La interpretación de los datos siguió los principios del Análisis Temático de Braun y Clarke. Para los participantes, el SMC es una demanda frecuente en la atención primaria que hay que abordar, principalmente, con intervenciones psicosociales. No obstante, los participantes reconocen que no han aplicado esas intervenciones en los estándares recomendados por la literatura. Los entrevistados relatan que conocen diversas técnicas de intervención, pero que solo saben aplicar algunas, con destaque para los componentes del método clínico centrado en la persona?. Este hecho contribuye para despertar emociones negativas, tales como angustia y frustración, y para aumentar el número de derivaciones innecesarias para otros profesionales.

This work presents a qualitative study of the approach to common mental suffering (CMS) in family and community medicine residency programs in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 participants from three residency programs between March and May 2022. The data were interpreted drawing on the principles of Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis method. According to the participants, CMS is a frequent demand in primary care and should be approached using mainly psychosocial interventions. However, the participants recognize that they have not applied these interventions in the manner recommended by the literature. The interviewees reported that despite being aware of a diverse range of intervention techniques, they only know how to apply some, with emphasis on the components of the “patient-centered clinical method”. This fact has contributed to the awakening of negative emotions, such as anguish and frustration, and increased the number of unnecessary referrals to other professionals.

Abstract: En Pt

Introduction: Pancreatic cystic lesions are common and are not exclusively benign. There are 3 guidelines that help recommend surgery if there is a risk factor, sign of malignancy or follow the patient with imaging tests. Objective: To review and compare the performance of these guidelines in asymptomatic patients with mucinous neoplasms. Method: The literature review was carried out by collecting information published on virtual platforms in Portuguese and English. The material for reading and analysis was selected from the SciELO, Google Scholar, Pubmed and Scopus platforms. Initially, a search was carried out using the keywords “mucinous cystic neoplasm. pancreatic intraductal neoplasms. endoscopic ultrasound. fine needle aspiration” with AND or OR search, considering the title and/or abstract. Afterwards, considering only those that were most related to the topic, the full texts were read. Results: 37 articles were included. Conclusion: The European Guideline-DE-2018 proved to be more accurate for use in patients with asymptomatic mucinous neoplasia after the diagnosis obtained by EUS-PAF.

Introdução: As lesões císticas pancreáticas são comuns e não são exclusivamente benignas. Existem 3 diretrizes que ajudam a indicar cirurgia no caso de haver algum fator de risco, sinal de malignidade ou acompanhar o paciente com exames de imagem. Objetivo: Revisar e comparar o desempenho dessas diretrizes em neoplasias mucinosas identificados de forma incidental. Método: A revisão da literatura foi feita colhendo informações publicadas em plataformas virtuais em português e inglês. O material para leitura e análise foi selecionado das plataformas SciELO, Google Scholar, Pubmed e Scopus. Inicialmente foi realizada busca por descritores “neoplasia cística mucinosa. neoplasias intraductais pancreáticas. ultrassonografia endoscópica. aspiração por agulha fina” com busca AND ou OR, considerando o título e/ou resumo. Após, considerando-se somente os que tinham maior relação ao tema, foi realizada a leitura da íntegra dos textos. Resultados: Foram incluídos 37 artigos. Conclusão: A Diretriz Europeia- DE-2018 mostrou-se mais precisa para ser utilizada em pacientes com neoplasia mucinosa assintomática após o diagnóstico obtido pela USE-PAF.

Abstract We examine racial differentials in abortion among women in Brazil using data from three editions of the Brazilian National Abortion Survey (PNA), 2016, 2019 and 2021. We test the difference in means in data from separate surveys, combined surveys without reweighting, and combined and reweighted surveys. We also use logistic models for the chance of having an abortion. The results indicate that there is a consistent racial differential in the three editions of PNA, with the percentage of abortions among Black women being higher than among white women. In the combined and reweighted surveys, among Black women of all ages the probability of having had an abortion is 11.03% while among white women it is 7.55%. This means a difference of 3.5 percentage points, which translates into a 46% higher probability for Black women, statistically significant values for a 5% interval. Logistic regressions produce similar results, with an average predicted probability of 12.61% for Black women and 8.90% for white women, also significant. Racial differences remain statistically significant for various combinations of PNA editions. However, in the separate surveys, the difference in means tests are only statistically significant in 2016. Black refers to the group formed by Black and Brown women (pretas and pardas). Due to the small sample size, it is not possible to say much about the differences with Asian and Indigenous women.

Resumo Examinamos a realização do aborto segundo cor ou raça das mulheres no Brasil usando dados de três edições da PNA, 2016, 2019 e 2021. Comparamos diferenciais raciais aplicando testes de diferenças de médias a dados de levantamentos separados, levantamentos combinados sem reponderação, e levantamentos combinados e reponderados. Na comparação usamos ainda modelos logísticos para a chance de realização de aborto. Os resultados indicam que há diferencial racial consistente nas três edições da PNA, com os percentuais de aborto entre as mulheres negras sendo mais elevados do que entre as mulheres brancas. Nos levantamentos combinados e reponderados, entre as mulheres negras de todas as idades a probabilidade de ter feito um aborto é de 11,03% enquanto entre as mulheres brancas é de 7,55%. Isso significa uma diferença de 3,5 pontos percentuais, que se traduz em uma probabilidade 46% maior para as negras, valores estatisticamente significantes para um intervalo de 5%. Regressões logísticas produzem resultados similares, com probabilidade média predita das mulheres negras de 12,61% e das mulheres brancas de 8,90%, também significantes. As diferenças raciais persistem estatisticamente significantes para várias combinações de edições da PNA. Porém, nos levantamentos isolados os testes de diferenças de média são estatisticamente significantes apenas em 2016.

Abstract: Pt En | Text: Pt En | PDF: Pt | PDF: En

Resumo Introdução: A gordofobia se refere à discriminação e estigmatização de pessoas com excesso de peso. É comum que indivíduos sofram esse tipo de preconceito por parte de profissionais da saúde, portanto a formação acadêmica pode ter um papel importante nessa dinâmica, já que o preconceito pode ser perpetuado se não houver uma reflexão crítica sobre o tema durante a graduação; Objetivos: Investigar a percepção de estudantes universitários da área da saúde sobre a gordofobia; Métodos: Estudo de abordagem qualitativo, na modalidade de Grupo Focal, realizado com estudantes de graudação em Nutrição, Medicina, Psicologia e Educação Física de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior da cidade de Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil. A coleta de dados se deu por meio de entrevistas, a partir de um roteiro semiestruturado, e submetidas à análise de conteúdo, na modalidade temática; Resultados: Emergiram quatro categorias temáticas: 1. Percepções sobre gordofobia; 2. Gordofobia e Mídias Sociais; 3. Abordagem da gordofobia entre as profissões da saúde e 4. Inclusão da gordofobia na formação acadêmica. O entendimento predominante sobre a gordofobia foi de uma forma de comportamento que exclui e diferencia pessoas com excesso de peso ou que não atendem a um determinado padrão corporal. O excesso de peso foi entendido como uma doença que requer tratamentos, que tenham como base a humanização e o acolhimento, entendendo o indivíduo de maneira singular e não apenas como portador de um problema de saúde. Conclusões. O reconhecimento da gordofobia como um tema transversal a todas as áreas profissionais da saúde e a inclusão de conteúdos específicos sobre o assunto na formação acadêmica foram entendidos como maneiras possíveis para combater a gordofobia e promover a valorização da diversidade corporal e uma abordagem inclusiva do peso no atendimento em saúde.

Abstract Introduction: Fatphobia refers to discrimination and stigmatization of overweight people. It is common for individuals to suffer this type of prejudice from health professionals, so academic training can play an important role in this dynamic, as prejudice can be perpetuated if there is no critical reflection on the subject during graduation; Objectives: To investigate the perception of university students in the health area about fatphobia; Methods: Study with a qualitative approach, in the form of Focus Group, carried out with undergraduate students in Nutrition, Medicine, Psychology and Physical Education at a Higher Education Institution in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. Data collection took place through interviews, based on a semi-structured script, and submitted to content analysis, in the thematic modality; Results: Four thematic categories emerged: 1. Perceptions about fatphobia; 2. Gordophobia and social media; 3. Addressing fatphobia among health professions and 4. Inclusion of fatphobia in academic training. The predominant understanding of fatphobia was a form of behavior that excludes and differentiates people who are overweight or who do not meet a certain body standard. Excess weight was understood as a disease that requires treatments, which are based on humanization and acceptance, understanding the individual in a unique way and not just as a carrier of a health problem. Conclusions: Recognizing fatphobia as a theme that cuts across all professional areas of health and the inclusion of specific content on the subject in academic training were understood as possible ways to combat fatphobia and promote the appreciation of body diversity and an inclusive approach to weight in the healthcare.

ABSTRACT Objective: To update the recommendations to support decisions regarding the pharmacological treatment of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in Brazil. Methods: Experts, including representatives of the Ministry of Health and methodologists, created this guideline. The method used for the rapid development of guidelines was based on the adoption and/or adaptation of existing international guidelines (GRADE ADOLOPMENT) and supported by the e-COVID-19 RecMap platform. The quality of the evidence and the preparation of the recommendations followed the GRADE method. Results: Twenty-one recommendations were generated, including strong recommendations for the use of corticosteroids in patients using supplemental oxygen and conditional recommendations for the use of tocilizumab and baricitinib for patients on supplemental oxygen or on noninvasive ventilation and anticoagulants to prevent thromboembolism. Due to suspension of use authorization, it was not possible to make recommendations regarding the use of casirivimab + imdevimab. Strong recommendations against the use of azithromycin in patients without suspected bacterial infection, hydroxychloroquine, convalescent plasma, colchicine, and lopinavir + ritonavir and conditional recommendations against the use of ivermectin and remdesivir were made. Conclusion: New recommendations for the treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 were generated, such as those for tocilizumab and baricitinib. Corticosteroids and prophylaxis for thromboembolism are still recommended, the latter with conditional recommendation. Several drugs were considered ineffective and should not be used to provide the best treatment according to the principles of evidence-based medicine and to promote resource economy.

RESUMO Objetivo: Atualizar as recomendações para embasar as decisões para o tratamento farmacológico de pacientes hospitalizados com COVID-19 no Brasil. Métodos: A elaboração desta diretriz foi feita por especialistas, incluindo representantes do Ministério da Saúde e metodologistas. O método utilizado para o desenvolvimento rápido de diretrizes baseou-se na adoção e/ou adaptação de diretrizes internacionais existentes (GRADE ADOLOPMENT) e contou com o apoio da plataforma e-COVID-19 RecMap. A qualidade das evidências e a elaboração das recomendações seguiram o método GRADE. Resultados: Chegaram-se a 21 recomendações, incluindo recomendações fortes quanto ao uso de corticosteroides em pacientes em uso de oxigênio suplementar e recomendações condicionais para o uso de tocilizumabe e baricitinibe, em pacientes com oxigênio suplementar ou ventilação não invasiva, e de anticoagulantes, para prevenção de tromboembolismo. Devido à suspensão da autorização de uso, não foi possível fazer recomendações para o tratamento com casirivimabe + imdevimabe. Foram feitas recomendações fortes contra o uso de azitromicina em pacientes sem suspeita de infecção bacteriana, hidroxicloroquina, plasma convalescente, colchicina e lopinavir + ritonavir, além de recomendações condicionais contra o uso de ivermectina e rendesivir. Conclusão: Foram criadas novas recomendações para o tratamento de pacientes hospitalizados com COVID-19, como as recomendações de tocilizumabe e baricitinibe. Ainda são recomendados corticosteroides e profilaxia contra tromboembolismo, esta em caráter condicional. Vários medicamentos foram considerados ineficazes e não devem ser usados, no intuito de proporcionar o melhor tratamento segundo os princípios da medicina baseada em evidências e promover a economia de recursos.

Abstract: En

Bot detection is increasingly relevant considering that automated accounts play a disproportionate role in spreading disinformation, controlling social interactions, influencing social media algorithms and manufacturing public opinion online for different purposes. Definition, description and detection of automated manipulation techniques have proved a challenge as technology quickly advances in reach and sophistication. Considering the high contextual character of social science research, the employment of off-the-shelf detection tools raises questions regarding the applicability of machine learning systems in different cases, times and places. Thus, our purpose is to discuss the role of computational methods focusing on understanding the limitations and potential of machine learning systems to identify bots on social media platforms. To address it, we analyze the performance of Botometer, a widely adopted detection tool, in a specific domain (Amazon Forest Fires) and language (Portuguese) and propose a supervised machine learning classifier, called Gotcha, based on Botometer's framework and trained for this specific dataset. We also question how our classifier behaves and evolves over time and perform tests to evaluate the generalization capabilities of the retrained model. Our results demonstrated that supervised methods do not perform well with datasets that present features on which the system was not directly trained, such as language and topic. Hence, our study shows that a successful computational model does not always guarantee reliable results, applicable to a specific real case. Our findings indicate the need for social scientists to confirm the reliability of different tools created and tested only through the prism of computational studies before applying them to empirical social science research.

Abstract Natrosol and Aristoflex® AVC polymers are widely applied in the cosmetic industry and have recently been applied as a thickener option in the composition of dental bleaching gels, with the purpose to reduce the adverse effects on enamel mineral components. The aim of this study was to evaluate the color variation (ΔE* ab, ΔE00, ∆WID), surface roughness (Ra), and mineral content quantification (Raman Spectroscopy) of dental enamel after bleaching treatment with experimental gel-based on 10% carbamide peroxide (CP), containing Carbopol, Natrosol, and Aristoflex® AVC. Sixty bovine teeth were randomly divided into 6 groups (n=10): Negative Control (NC) - no treatment; Positive Control (PC) - Whiteness Perfect 10% - FGM; CP with Carbopol (CPc); CP with Natrosol (CPn); CP with Aristoflex® AVC (CPa); NCP - no thickener. Data were analyzed, and generalized linear models (∆WID -T0 x T1) were used for repeated measurements in time for Ra and with a study factor for ΔE* ab and ΔE00. For the evaluation of the mineral content, data were submitted to one-way ANOVA and Tukey tests. For enamel topographic surface analysis the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was performed. A significance level of 5% was considered. ΔE* ab and ΔE00 were significantly higher for CPc, CPn, CPa, and NCP groups. (∆WID) showed a significantly lower mean than the other groups for NC in T1. After bleaching (4-hour daily application for 14 days), Ra was higher in the CPc, CPn, and PC groups. For CPa, Ra was not altered. No significant difference was found in the quantification of mineral content. CPa preserved the surface smoothness more effectively. Aristoflex® AVC is a viable option for application as a thickener in dental bleaching gels, presenting satisfactory performance, and maintaining the whitening efficacy of the gel, with the advantage of preserving the surface roughness of tooth enamel without significant loss of mineral content.

Resumo Os polímeros Natrosol e Aristoflex® AVC são amplamente utilizados na indústria cosmética e foram recentemente aplicados como uma opção de espessante na composição de géis de clareamento dental, com o objetivo de reduzir os efeitos adversos sobre os componentes minerais do esmalte. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a variação de cor (ΔE*ab, ΔE00, ∆WID), rugosidade da superfície (Ra), e quantificação do conteúdo mineral (Raman Spectroscopy) do esmalte dentário após clareamento dental com gel experimental baseado em 10% de peróxido de carbamida (CP), contendo Carbopol, Natrosol e Aristoflex® AVC. Sessenta dentes bovinos foram divididos aleatoriamente em 6 grupos (n=10): Controle Negativo (CN) - sem tratamento; Controle Positivo (CP) - Brancura Perfeita 10% - FGM; CP com Carbopol (CPc); CP com Natrosol (CPn); CP com Aristoflex® AVC (CPa); NCP - sem espessante. Os dados foram analisados e modelos lineares generalizados (∆WID -T0 x T1) foram usados para medições repetidas no tempo para Ra e com um fator de estudo para ΔE*ab e ΔE00. Para a avaliação do conteúdo mineral, os dados foram submetidos a testes unidirecionais de ANOVA e Tukey. Para a análise da superfície topográfica do esmalte, o Microscópio Eletrônico de Varredura (SEM) foi realizado. Um nível de significância de 5% foi considerado. ΔE*ab e ΔE00 foram significativamente maiores para os grupos CPc, CPn, CPa e NCP. (∆WID) mostrou uma média significativamente menor do que os outros grupos para NC em T1. Após o clareamento (aplicação diária de 4 horas por 14 dias), Ra foi maior nos grupos CPc, CPn e PC. Para CPa, Ra não foi alterado. Nenhuma diferença significativa foi encontrada na quantificação do conteúdo mineral. O CPa preservou a suavidade da superfície de forma mais eficaz. Aristoflex® AVC é uma opção viável para aplicação como espessante em géis de clareamento dental, apresentando desempenho satisfatório e mantendo a eficácia clareadora do gel, com a vantagem de preservar a rugosidade da superfície do esmalte dentário sem perda significativa de conteúdo mineral.

ABSTRACT In this study, pollen grains of Harleyodendron unifoliolatum, Holocalyx balansae, and Uribea tamarindoides, three monospecific genera with Neotropical distribution belonging to the clade Exostyleae, one of the basal lineages of the family Leguminosae, subfamily Papilionoideae, were analyzed. The palynological material was acetolyzed and analyzed under light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Under LM, small and medium-sized pollen grains were observed, which showed a prolate-spheroidal to prolate shape, 3-colporate, microreticulate and reticulate exine, sexine and nexine of equal thickness in Harleyodendron and Holocalyx, while the sexine was thicker than nexine in Uribea. Analysis under SEM showed finely granulate, psilate, and granulate apertural membrane, while the exine ornamentation varied from perforate-microechinate in Harleyodendron, to perforate in Holocalyx, while in Uribea showed an irregular relief and granular projections on the perforate tectum. The pollen morphology of these species is similar to each other, varying in sexine/nexine ratio, apertural membrane, and exine ornamentation. Harleyodendron has a finely granulate apertural membrane, sexine and nexine of equal thickness, and a perforate-microreticulate exine ornamentation, Holocalyx shows a psilated apertural membrane, sexine and nexine of equal thickness, and exine ornamentation perforate, and Uribea has a granulate apertural membrane, sexine thicker than nexine, and exine ornamentation with granular projections.

Taxas de mortalidade maiores para os cânceres mais frequentes foram registradas entre 1996 e 2000 em Guarapari, um município do Espírito Santo, Brasil, onde se localizam praias com alta radioatividade natural. Para verificar a existência desse excesso de mortalidade por câncer em Guarapari, taxas de mortalidade por todas as causas, todos os cânceres e pelos cânceres mais prevalentes no município foram estudadas entre 2000 e 2018 e comparadas com aquelas observadas no estado. Dados de mortalidade por todas as causas, por câncer e por câncer de esôfago, estômago, laringe, traqueia, brônquios e pulmão, próstata, mama e leucemias foram coletados no Departamento de Informática do SUS (DATASUS) de 2000 a 2018. As taxas de mortalidade foram calculadas pelo método direto. As taxas padronizadas ajustadas por idade (TPAI) foram calculadas com base na população mundial padrão da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS). Foram calculadas taxas brutas de mortalidade para cada município e as TPAI para o estado e para os nove municípios onde foi avaliada a radioatividade natural. A mortalidade por todas as causas, todos os cânceres e pelos diferentes cânceres investigados em Guarapari não diferiu significativamente daqueles observados no estado ou em municípios com mais de 100 mil habitantes. Não houve correlação entre os níveis de radioatividade e as taxas de mortalidade nos nove municípios onde a radioatividade natural era conhecida. Em conclusão, os resultados mostraram que a mortalidade por câncer e por todas as causas em Guarapari não diferiu daquelas observadas no restante do estado. Além disso, não houve correlação entre os níveis de radioatividade natural e a mortalidade por câncer nas áreas onde a radioatividade natural foi avaliada.

Las mayores tasas de mortalidad por cáncer se registraron entre 1996 y 2000 en Guarapari, un municipio del estado de Espírito Santo, Brasil, donde existen playas con alta radiactividad natural. Para verificar la existencia de mayor mortalidad por cáncer en Guarapari, se estudiaron las tasas de mortalidad por distintas causas, por los tipos de cáncer y por los tipos más prevalentes en este municipio entre 2000 y 2018, y se las compararon con las observadas en todo el estado. Los datos sobre la mortalidad por distintas causas, por cáncer y por cáncer de esófago, estómago, laringe, tráquea, bronquios y pulmón, próstata, mama y leucemias se recogieron del Departamento de Informática de SUS (DATASUS) sobre el periodo de 2000 a 2018. Las tasas de mortalidad se calcularon utilizando el método directo. Las tasas estandarizadas ajustadas por edad (TEAE) se calcularon con base en las de la población mundial estándar de la Organización Mundial de Salud (OMS). Se calcularon las tasas brutas de mortalidad para cada municipio y las TEAE para el estado y para los nueve municipios donde se evaluó la radiactividad natural. La mortalidad por distintas causas, por los tipos de cáncer y por los diferentes tipos de cáncer investigados en Guarapari no difirió significativamente de la observada en el estado o en los municipios con más de 100.000 habitantes. No hubo correlación entre los niveles de radiactividad y las tasas de mortalidad en los nueve municipios donde existe radiactividad natural. Se concluye que la mortalidad por cáncer y por distintas causas en Guarapari no difiere de los resultados observados en todo el estado. Además, no hubo correlación entre los niveles de radiactividad natural y la mortalidad por cáncer en las áreas donde se evaluó la radiactividad natural.

Guarapari, a municipality of the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, reported higher mortality rates for the most common cancers from 1996 to 2000. This municipality has beaches with high natural radioactivity. To verify whether this excessive cancer mortality rate still exist in Guarapari, mortality rates for all causes, cancers, and the most prevalent cancers in this municipality were studied from 2000 to 2018 and compared with those observed in the state. Data on all-cause mortality, all-cancer mortality, and mortality from cancer of the esophagus, stomach, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lung, prostate, breast, and leukemias were collected in Brazilian Health Informatics Department (DATASUS) from 2000 to 2018. Mortality rates were calculated by direct method. Standardized age-adjusted rates (SAAR) were calculated based on standard of the World Health Organization (WHO) world population. Crude mortality rates were calculated for each municipality and SAAR for the state and nine municipalities where natural radioactivity was evaluated. Mortality rates from all causes, all cancers, and different cancers observed in Guarapari did not differ significantly from those observed in the state or municipalities with more than 100,000 inhabitants. Radioactivity levels and mortality rates showed no correlation in nine municipalities where natural radioactivity was known. In conclusion, results showed that mortality from cancer and all causes in Guarapari did not differ from those observed in the state and that there was no correlation between the levels of natural radioactivity and mortality from cancer in areas where natural radioactivity was evaluated.

ABSTRACT Toxoplasmosis is an infection of vast worldwide distribution whose etiologic agent is Toxoplasma gondii. This disease can cause problems ranging from mild symptoms to serious conditions, such as encephalitis, miscarriage and blindness. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to perform a diagnosis with reproducible techniques in order to obtain a good prognosis. The aim of this review was to analyze the efficiency of toxoplasmosis diagnostic techniques based on sensitivity and specificity results. Five research platforms in English language were used (Eric, Elsevier, Google Scholar, PubMed and SciELO), which contained data on the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis. The search and selection were performed for studies published prior to June 2021. The search resulted in the inclusion of 13 articles published from 2005 to 2020. The data revealed the use of different samples in the standardization of techniques such as serum, total blood, colostrum and amniotic fluid. The flow cytometry, lateral flow immunoassay and qPCR techniques showed 100% sensitivity, whereas the ELISA, western blotting, qPCR and RE-LAMP techniques achieved 100% specificity. Significantly, the qPCR and LAMP techniques were more accurate when the likelihood ratio was assessed. The meta-analysis identified that ISAGA and western blotting have low sensitivity values and LIASON, ELFA and ELISA, using a silica bioconjugate, also have low specificity values. It was noted that a wide range of methods have high values of sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, the choice of the method will be based on the conditions and its financial viability.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Hypertension is the most common disease in primary care settings. Only 30% of cases were adequately controlled. OBJECTIVES: To analyze the knowledge and understanding of patients with hypertension regarding the factors that facilitate and limit adherence to treatment and, based on the results, build specific guidelines on hypertension self-care and control. DESIGN AND SETTING: This qualitative study was conducted in a primary healthcare setting. METHODS: Patients with hypertension who were followed at a primary healthcare unit were interviewed through focus groups, and a qualitative interpretation of their statements according to Bardin’s content analysis was performed. RESULTS: Three focus groups were formed (21 participants), from whose analysis emerged 74 core ideas related to the concept of hypertension, causes of increase in blood pressure, clinical consequences of hypertension, and possible patients’ contributions to help control blood pressure, arising from eating habits, psychosocial conditions, and lifestyle. Patients tend to accept the concept of “high blood pressure” as an inherent condition of the disease in their lives. Eating habits are strongly related to life history and self-perception of health. The association between high blood pressure and nervousness or stress appears to be strong. CONCLUSION: The experience of having “pressure problem” is unique for each person. It is necessary to optimize listening, recognizing that, for the patient to understand what hypertension is and its management, there must be understanding and convergence of proposals, adjustments, and changes in a positive and personalized way. As a result of this study, we implemented educational actions in primary healthcare units.

ABSTRACT: Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous mycosis caused by fungus of the Sporothrix complex, and in Brazil the main species reported is Sporothrix brasiliensis, of which the diseased cat is the transmitter. Although, its occurrence has increased in the state of Paraíba, Brazil, since 2016, data on the disease in this state are limited. Therefore, this research aimed to identify molecularly isolates of Sporothrix spp. from domestic cats from cities in Paraíba, and in this way to expand the understanding of the disease in the state. Thirty-nine samples were analyzed, obtained from skin lesions of domestic felines, from the following cities in Paraíba: João Pessoa, Pilões, Patos, Areia, Bananeiras and Guarabira. Cytological analysis was performed to screen the samples, followed by fungal culture, and the molecular characterization of the isolates was performed, using the species-specific Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) or partial sequencing of the calmodulin gene. All isolates were identified as S. brasiliensis. The sequencing showed 100% similarity to the S. brasiliensis CBS 120339 strain. In view of this, it is concluded that in the study areas the species involved in cases of feline sporotrichosis is S. brasiliensis, its presence in Paraíba demonstrated the spread of the agent in regions distant from the epicenters in Brazil, alerting to the possible occurrence of zoonotic outbreaks similar to those found in the South and Southeast regions of the country. In addition, it highlights the emerging role of felines in the transmission of sporotrichosis in new endemic areas of Brazil.

RESUMO: A esporotricose é uma micose subcutânea causada por fungos do complexo Sporothrix, e no Brasil a principal espécie relatada é Sporothrix brasiliensis da qual o transmissor é o gato doente. Embora sua ocorrência tenha aumentado no estado da Paraíba, Brasil, desde 2016, os dados sobre a doença neste estado são limitados. Diante disso, esta pesquisa teve por objetivo identificar, molecularmente, isolados de Sporothrix spp. procedentes de felinos domésticos de cidades da Paraíba, e dessa maneira expandir a compreensão da enfermidade no estado. Foram analisadas 39 amostras, obtidas de lesões cutâneas de felinos domésticos, oriundos das seguintes cidades paraibanas: João Pessoa, Pilões, Patos, Areia, Bananeiras e Guarabira. Realizou-se análise citológica, para triagem das amostras, a seguir cultura fúngica, e posteriormente a caracterização molecular dos isolados, utilizando a Reação em Cadeia da Polimerase (PCR), espécie-específica ou sequenciamento parcial do gene calmodulina. Todos os isolados foram identificados molecularmente como S. brasiliensis. O sequenciamento demonstrou 100% de similaridade com a cepa S. brasiliensis CBS 120339. Contudo, conclui-se que nas áreas do estudo a espécie envolvida em casos de esporotricose felina é S. brasiliensis, sua presença na Paraíba demonstra a disseminação do agente em regiões distantes dos epicentros no Brasil, alertando para a possível ocorrência de surtos zoonóticos, semelhantes aos encontrados nas regiões Sul e Sudeste do país. Além disso, destaca o papel emergente dos felinos na transmissão da esporotricose em novas áreas endêmicas do Brasil.
