ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze the association between recurrence of emergency service visits due to lack of blood pressure and/or glycemic control with sociodemographic variables and disease registration in Primary Care. Methods: quantitative study, which consulted medical records of people who attended these services two or more times for 26 months. Descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regression models were used in analysis. Results: most people did not have hypertension and/or diabetes record in their Primary Care records. The absence of this record was more frequent in males, aged between 18 and 59 years, with low education and lack of blood pressure. There was association between greater number of people seeking these services in the same year and not monitoring the chronic condition in specialized care. Conclusions: people who do not follow up hypertension and/or diabetes in Primary Care are more likely to need assistance due to blood pressure and/or glycemic management.

RESUMEN Objetivos: analizar la asociación entre la recurrencia de visitas a los servicios de emergencia por falta de control de la presión arterial y/o glucemia con variables sociodemográficas y registro de la enfermedad en Atención Primaria. Métodos: estudio cuantitativo, que consultó las historias clínicas de las personas que acudieron a estos servicios dos o más veces en un período de 26 meses. En el análisis se utilizaron estadísticas descriptivas y modelos de regresión logística múltiple. Resultados: la mayoría de las personas no tenían registro de hipertensión y/o diabetes en sus registros de Atención Primaria. La ausencia de este registro fue más frecuente en el sexo masculino, con edad entre 18 y 59 años, con baja escolaridad y falta de presión arterial. Hubo asociación entre mayor número de personas que buscaban estos servicios en el mismo año y no seguimiento de la condición crónica en atención especializada. Conclusiones: las personas que no tienen seguimiento de hipertensión y/o diabetes en Atención Primaria tienen más probabilidad de necesitar asistencia por control de la presión arterial y/o glucemia.

RESUMO Objetivos: analisar a associação entre a recorrência de atendimentos nos serviços de emergência devido ao descontrole pressórico e/ou glicêmico com as variáveis sociodemográficas e cadastro da doença na Atenção Primária. Métodos: estudo quantitativo, que consultou prontuários de pessoas que compareceram duas ou mais vezes nesses serviços no período de 26 meses. Utilizaram-se estatística descritiva e modelos de regressão logística múltipla na análise. Resultados: a maioria das pessoas não possuía registro/cadastro de hipertensão e/ou diabetes no prontuário da Atenção Primária. A ausência desse cadastro foi mais frequente em pessoas do sexo masculino, com idade entre 18 e 59 anos, baixa escolaridade e descontrole pressórico. Observou-se associação entre número maior de procura desses serviços em um mesmo ano e não acompanhamento da condição crônica na assistência especializada. Conclusões: pessoas que não fazem acompanhamento da hipertensão e/ou diabetes na Atenção Primária estão mais sujeitas a necessitar de assistência por descontrole pressórico e/ou glicêmico.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the impact of symptom-based screening on the prevalence and outcomes of neonatal coronavirus disease 2019 in pregnant women admitted for delivery. METHODS: A retrospective observational study was conducted from June to August 2020 at Gonzaga Mota of Messejana Hospital, Fortaleza, CE, Brazil. All pregnant women were screened for coronavirus disease 2019 based on symptoms. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction or immunology assays for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 were performed when a patient reported a symptom. All newborns of symptomatic patients were submitted for Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Newborns were divided into groups according to the Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction results to identify the relationship between maternal symptoms and neonatal coronavirus disease 2019. RESULTS: A total of 55 (55/1,026, 5.4%) and 50 (50/1,026, 4.8%) pregnant women reported symptoms and had a positive confirmatory test, respectively. The most common symptom of coronavirus disease 2019 among the pregnant women with positive confirmatory test was cough (n=23, 46%). Seven newborns (7/50, 14%) of symptomatic mothers had positive Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Upon birth, no newborn had serious complications. CONCLUSION: Universal screening of pregnant women admitted for delivery can reduce the perinatal transmission of coronavirus disease 2019. Symptom-based screening can be an alternative for regions with a low prevalence of the disease where a better allocation of financial resources is necessary.

RESUMO Analisamos a inserção da mulher na educação e na sociedade brasileira por meio de seu acesso e sua permanência em cursos de ensino industrial em uma instituição da rede federal no período de 1950 a 1970. Por meio da comparação e do cruzamento das fontes, questionamos a versão oficial sobre o início da participação do sexo feminino no conjunto do corpo discente, que teria ocorrido na década de 1970, quando a instituição já se denominava Escola Técnica Federal do Espírito Santo. Entretanto, operando metodologicamente com a intertextualidade de documentos e fotografias, de um lado, evidenciamos as tentativas de apagamento dos processos de exclusão do sexo feminino desse contexto histórico e, por outro, concluímos que o início da inserção feminina já ocorrera bem antes, ainda nos anos de 1950, quando a unidade de ensino ainda se nomeava Escola Técnica de Vitória.

ABSTRACT We analyzed the insertion of women in education and in Brazilian society, based on their access and permanence in industrial education courses at a federal institution in the period from 1950 to 1970. By comparing and crossing the sources, we question the version official about the beginning of female participation in the group of students that would have occurred in the 1970s when the institution was already called Federal Technical School of Espírito Santo. However, operating methodologically with the intertextuality of documents and photographs, on the one hand, we highlight attempts to erase the processes of exclusion of women in this historical context and, on the other hand, we conclude that the beginning of female insertion had occurred well before, even in the years 1950, when the teaching unit was still named Escola Técnica de Vitória.

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.

RESUMO Objetivo: A lesão do plexo braquial pode determinar sequelas para o paciente. A restituição da flexão do cotovelo é prioridade no tratamento cirúrgico. A transferência muscular funcional livre é opção na falha do tratamento precoce ou tardio. Este estudo avaliou características dos pacientes e força muscular de flexão do cotovelo após transferência muscular funcional livre. Métodos: Prontuários de 95 pacientes, operados de 2003 a 2019, foram analisados e as seguintes variáveis registradas: idade, sexo, transferência nervosa utilizada para motorizar o músculo grácil, tempo entre o trauma e a cirurgia, idade na cirurgia, força de flexão do cotovelo após prazo mínimo de 12 meses da transferência muscular livre. Resultados: 87 pacientes foram incluídos no estudo, com idade média de 30 anos (17 a 57 anos). Cinquenta e cinco pacientes obtiveram força muscular de flexão de cotovelo ≥ M3 (55/87, 65%), com tempo de seguimento médio pós-operatório de 37 meses. Os nervos utilizados para ativação do músculo grácil foram: 45 espinhais acessórios, 10 intercostais, oito fascículos do n. mediano, 22 fascículos do n. ulnar e dois frênicos. Conclusão: A transferência muscular funcional livre é um procedimento cirúrgico viável para flexão do cotovelo nas lesões traumáticas crônicas do plexo braquial no adulto. Nível de Evidência II, Estudo retrospectivo .

ABSTRACT Objective: Brachial plexus injury can lead to significant functional deficit for the patient. Elbow flexion restoration is a priority in surgical treatment. Free functional muscle transfer is an option for early or late treatment failure. This study evaluated patient characteristics and elbow flexion muscle strength after gracilis functioning muscle transfer. Methods: Medical records of 95 patients operated from 2003 to 2019 were analyzed and the following variables recorded: age, gender, nerve transfer used to motorize the gracilis muscle, time between trauma and surgery, age at surgery and elbow flexion strength after a minimum of 12 months following functioning muscle transfer. Results: 87 patients were included, averaging 30 years of age (17 to 57 years). Fifty-five achieved elbow flexion muscle strength ≥ M3 (55/87, 65%), with a mean follow-up of 37 months. The nerves used for activation of the transferred gracilis were: 45 spinal accessory, 10 intercostal, 8 median n. fascicles, 22 ulnar n. fascicles and 2 phrenic nerves. Conclusion: Functional muscle transfer is a viable surgical procedure for elbow flexion in chronic traumatic brachial plexus injuries in adults. Level of Evidence II, Retrospective study.

ABSTRACT Hexapods, commonly known as insects, are a neglected taxonomic group in the Fernando de Noronha archipelago, with unanswered questions about their species richness and the ecological processes in which they are involved (e.g., colonization, introduction, establishment, and extinction). Herein, we provide an updated Hexapod checklist with current nomenclatural combinations. The entomofauna of the Fernando de Noronha archipelago is currently composed of 453 species in 21 orders. The orders, and their respective number of species, are: Blattaria (9), Coleoptera (118), Collembola (29), Dermaptera (3), Diplura (1), Diptera (134), Embioptera (1), Hemiptera (29), Hymenoptera (59), Isoptera (2), Lepidoptera (25), Mantodea (1), Neuroptera (3), Odonata (5), Orthoptera (11), Phasmatodea (1), Phthiraptera (6), Psocoptera (3), Siphonaptera (1), Thysanoptera (10), and Zygentoma (2). The archipelago has 263 new taxon records (family + genera + species). Thirty-eight species (3.39%) were described from local specimens and most of them are likely endemic species. This study more than doubles our knowledge (from the previous 190 records) of the entomofauna in this large Brazilian archipelago. This study also provides a baseline for studies on its conservation status and for implementing future environmental management programs.

RESUMO Introdução: As infecções sexualmente transmissíveis (ISTs) ainda são um importante problema de saúde pública, e a vigilância é essencial para sua prevenção e seu controle. Objetivo: Avaliar a prevalência das ISTs em uma unidade de referência ginecológica no Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Materiais e métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal realizado entre agosto de 2016 e junho de 2017. Foram coletados sangue total e células cervicais de 62 mulheres e realizados testes para detecção de papiloma vírus humano (HPV), vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV), sífilis, clamídia, gonorreia e vírus do herpes simples 1 e 2 (HSV-1/2). As lesões cervicais foram diagnosticadas por citopatologia, e em algumas pacientes, por colposcopia (79%). Outras ISTs foram avaliadas durante o exame clínico. Resultados: Foram encontradas lesões cervicais pelo exame citopatológico em 46,8% das pacientes; aquelas com história de quatro parceiros sexuais tiveram mais risco de desenvolvê-las. Houve concordância moderada entre os resultados da citopatologia e colposcopia (Kappa = 0,69). A prevalência de HSV (96,7%), sífilis (6,4%) e HIV (3,2%) foi maior que a descrita na literatura, enquanto a prevalência de clamídia (6,4%) e gonorreia (1,6%) foi similar. O HPV foi detectado em 53,2% das mulheres, sendo 32,3% delas infectadas pelo HPV 16. No contexto das coinfecções, 38 mulheres (61,3%) tinham mais de uma IST. Conclusão: Visto que a maioria das mulheres analisadas era acometida por mais de uma IST, nossos resultados sugerem que uma triagem rotineira dessas infecções nas unidades de saúde poderia auxiliar na detecção precoce, bem como no tratamento e na prevenção. Essas medidas também impactariam no controle do câncer cervical das pacientes.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Sexually transmitted infections (STI) remain a major public health problem and surveillance is crucial for prevention and control strategies. Objective: Our aim was to assess the prevalence of STI in a reference center for gynecology in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Materials and methods: It is a cross-sectional study conducted between August 2016 and June 2017. Whole blood and cervical cells were collected from 62 women and tested for human papillomavirus (HPV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea and herpes simples virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1/2). Cervical lesions were diagnosed by cytopathology and in some patients by colposcopy (79%). Other STI were evaluated during clinical examination. Results: Cervical lesions were detected by cytopathology examinations in 46.8% of patients; those with a history of four sexual partners were at higher risk of developing them. There was moderate agreement between the cytopathology e colposcopy results (Kappa = 0.69). The prevalence of HSV (96.7%), syphilis (6.4%) and HIV (3.2%) were higher than that described in the literature, while the prevalence of chlamydia (6.4%) and gonorrhea (1.6%) were similar. HPV was detected in 53.2% of women, 32.3% of which were infected by HPV 16. In the context of co-infections, 38 women (61.3%) presented more than one STI. Conclusion: Since most of the women analyzed were affected by more than one STI, our results suggest that routine screening for these infections at health centers would help in early detection, treatment and prevention of these infections. These measures would also impact on patients’ cervical cancer control.

OBJECTIVES: Negative-pressure wound therapy has been widely adopted to reduce the complexity of treating a broad range of acute and chronic wounds. However, its cost is high. The objective of this study was to evaluate the following two different methods of negative-pressure wound therapy in terms of healing time: a low-cost method of negative-pressure wound therapy (a pressure stabilizer device connected to a hospital wall-vacuum system with a gauze-sealed dressing, USP) and the standard of care (vacuum-assisted closure, VAC). METHODS: This is a randomized, controlled, non-inferiority, unblinded trial. Patients admitted with complex injuries to a trauma center in a public referral hospital who were indicated for orthopedic surgery were randomized to a USP or VAC group. The primary outcome was the time required to achieve a “ready for surgery condition”, which was defined as a wound bed with healthy granulation tissue and without necrosis or purulent secretion. Wound bed area contraction, granulation tissue growth and the direct costs of the dressings were secondary outcomes. RESULTS: Variation in area and granulation tissue growth were essentially the same between the systems, and healing time was equal between the groups (p=0.379). In both systems, serial debridement increased wound area (p=0.934), and granulation tissue was also increased (p=0.408). The mean treatment cost was US$ 15.15 in the USP group and US$ 872.59 in the VAC group. CONCLUSIONS: For treating complex traumatic injuries, USP was non-inferior to and less expensive than VAC.

Método: estudo quase experimental, com 13 idosos com diagnóstico médico de osteoartrite de joelhos, que realizaram um programa de exercícios resistidos duas vezes por semana, durante 12 semanas. A dor, força muscular, funcionalidade, qualidade de vida e satisfação do paciente foram avaliadas através dos instrumentos: Escala visual analógica de dor, Teste de uma repetição máxima (1RM), questionário The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, Teste Timed Up and Go, Teste de caminhada de seis minutos, questionário Short Form (36) Health Survey e escala Likert. Teste t pareado e ANOVA de medidas repetidas foram utilizados para análise estatística. Resultados: a média de idade dos pacientes foi de 62,0 (±10,0) anos. Ao final do estudo, os idosos melhoraram a dor, aumentaram a força muscular, ficaram mais funcionais e melhoraram alguns domínios da qualidade de vida. Conclusão: os exercícios resistidos foram efetivos e seguros na melhora da dor, força muscular, funcionalidade e qualidade de vida, no grupo estudado. Idosos da comunidade devem ser encorajados a realizar musculação terapêutica supervisionada.

Abstract Objective: to evaluate the impact of a three-month resistance exercise program on the pain and functionality of elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis from the city of Santa Cruz, Rio Grande do Norte. Method: a quasi-experimental study was performed with 13 elderly patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis, who underwent a resistance training program twice a week for 12 weeks. Pain, muscle strength, functionality, quality of life and patient satisfaction were evaluated using the following instruments: the visual analog scale, one repetition maximum testing, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, the Timed Up and Go Test, the 6-minute walk Test, the Short Form (36) Health Survey and the Likert scale. The paired T-test and ANOVA for repeated measures were used for statistical analysis. Results: the mean age of the patients was 62.0 (±10.0) years. At the end of the study, the pain, muscle strength, functional status and some areas of quality of life of the elderly had improved. Conclusion: resistance exercises were an effective and safe method of improving the pain, muscle strength, functionality and quality of life of the population studied. The elderly should be encouraged to perform supervised strength training therapy.

Resumo Fundamento: A terapia de ressincronização cardíaca (TRC) é um tratamento recomendado pelas principais diretrizes mundiais. Entretanto, 30%-40% dos pacientes selecionados não respondem ao tratamento. Objetivo: Elaborar um modelo ecocardiográfico preditor de risco de óbito cardíaco ou transplante (Tx) após 1 ano da TRC. Método: Estudo observacional, prospectivo, com inclusão de 116 pacientes, sendo 69,8% do sexo masculino, com idade de 64,89 ± 11,18 anos, CF III (68,1%) e IV ambulatorial (31,9%), bloqueio de ramo esquerdo em 71,55%, e mediana da fração de ejeção (FE) de 29%. Avaliações foram feitas no período pré-implante e 6-12 meses após, e correlacionadas com mortalidade cardíaca/Tx no final do seguimento. Foram realizadas análises de regressão de Cox e logística, com a curva ROC e de sobrevida de Kaplan-Meier. O modelo foi validado internamente pelo “bootstrapping”. Resultados: Ocorreram 29 (25%) óbitos/Tx durante o seguimento de 34,09 ± 17,9 meses. A mortalidade cardíaca/Tx foi de 16,3 %. No modelo multivariado de Cox, as variáveis FE < 30%, disfunção diastólica grau III/IV e regurgitação mitral grau III, aferidas com 6-12 meses, relacionaram-se independentemente a aumento de mortalidade cardíaca ou Tx, com razões de risco de 3,1, 4,63 e 7,11, respectivamente. A área sob a curva ROC foi de 0,78. Conclusão: FE menor que 30%, disfunção diastólica grave e regurgitação mitral severa indicam pior prognóstico após 1 ano da TRC, devendo ser consideradas outras opções terapêuticas na presença da combinação de duas dessas variáveis.

Abstract Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is the recommended treatment by leading global guidelines. However, 30%-40% of selected patients are non-responders. Objective: To develop an echocardiographic model to predict cardiac death or transplantation (Tx) 1 year after CRT. Method: Observational, prospective study, with the inclusion of 116 patients, aged 64.89 ± 11.18 years, 69.8% male, 68,1% in NYHA FC III and 31,9% in FC IV, 71.55% with left bundle-branch block, and median ejection fraction (EF) of 29%. Evaluations were made in the pre‑implantation period and 6-12 months after that, and correlated with cardiac mortality/Tx at the end of follow-up. Cox and logistic regression analyses were performed with ROC and Kaplan-Meier curves. The model was internally validated by bootstrapping. Results: There were 29 (25%) deaths/Tx during follow-up of 34.09 ± 17.9 months. Cardiac mortality/Tx was 16.3%. In the multivariate Cox model, EF < 30%, grade III/IV diastolic dysfunction and grade III mitral regurgitation at 6‑12 months were independently related to increased cardiac mortality or Tx, with hazard ratios of 3.1, 4.63 and 7.11, respectively. The area under the ROC curve was 0.78. Conclusion: EF lower than 30%, severe diastolic dysfunction and severe mitral regurgitation indicate poor prognosis 1 year after CRT. The combination of two of those variables indicate the need for other treatment options.

ResumoFundamento:A terapia de ressincronização cardíaca pode demonstrar resultados desfavoráveis em 30-40% dos casos.Objetivo:Este estudo teve por objetivo desenvolver modelos preditores para o desfecho combinado de morte cardíaca ou transplante (Tx) em diferentes estágios da terapia de ressincronização cardíaca (TRC).Métodos:Estudo prospectivo observacional de 116 pacientes com idade média de 64,8 ± 11,1 anos, dos quais 68,1% estavam em classe funcional (CF) III e 31,9% em classe IV ambulatorial. Variáveis clínicas, eletrocardiográficas e ecocardiográficas foram avaliadas com regressão de Cox e curvas de Kaplan-Meier.Resultados:O desfecho mortalidade/Tx cardíacos foi de 16,3% durante seguimento de 34,0 ± 17,9 meses. No período pré-implante, disfunção ventricular direita (DVD), fração de ejeção < 25% e uso de altas doses de diuréticos (ADD) aumentaram o risco de morte e Tx cardíacos em 3,9, 4,8 e 5,9 vezes, respectivamente. No primeiro ano após TRC, DVD, AHDD e hospitalização por insuficiência cardíaca congestiva elevaram o risco de morte (razões de risco de 3,5, 5,3 e 12,5, respectivamente). No segundo ano após TRC, DVD e CF III/IV foram fatores de risco significativos de mortalidade no modelo multivariado de Cox. As acurácias dos modelos foram 84,6% na pré-implante, 93% no primeiro ano após TRC e 90,5% no segundo ano após TRC. Os modelos foram validados por bootstrapping.Conclusão:Desenvolvemos modelos preditores de morte e Tx cardíacos em diferentes estágios de TRC com base na análise de variáveis clínicas e ecocardiográficas simples e de fácil obtenção. Os modelos mostraram boa acurácia e ajuste, foram validados internamente e são úteis para a seleção, o monitoramento e a orientação de pacientes indicados para TRC.

AbstractBackground:30-40% of cardiac resynchronization therapy cases do not achieve favorable outcomes.Objective:This study aimed to develop predictive models for the combined endpoint of cardiac death and transplantation (Tx) at different stages of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).Methods:Prospective observational study of 116 patients aged 64.8 ± 11.1 years, 68.1% of whom had functional class (FC) III and 31.9% had ambulatory class IV. Clinical, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic variables were assessed by using Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier curves.Results:The cardiac mortality/Tx rate was 16.3% during the follow-up period of 34.0 ± 17.9 months. Prior to implantation, right ventricular dysfunction (RVD), ejection fraction < 25% and use of high doses of diuretics (HDD) increased the risk of cardiac death and Tx by 3.9-, 4.8-, and 5.9-fold, respectively. In the first year after CRT, RVD, HDD and hospitalization due to congestive heart failure increased the risk of death at hazard ratios of 3.5, 5.3, and 12.5, respectively. In the second year after CRT, RVD and FC III/IV were significant risk factors of mortality in the multivariate Cox model. The accuracy rates of the models were 84.6% at preimplantation, 93% in the first year after CRT, and 90.5% in the second year after CRT. The models were validated by bootstrapping.Conclusion:We developed predictive models of cardiac death and Tx at different stages of CRT based on the analysis of simple and easily obtainable clinical and echocardiographic variables. The models showed good accuracy and adjustment, were validated internally, and are useful in the selection, monitoring and counseling of patients indicated for CRT.
