ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Specific types of violence such as intimate partner sexual violence and intimate partner homicide occur more frequently in rural areas. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to systematically review the literature on the knowledge and attitudes of rural healthcare providers regarding cases of domestic violence against women. DESIGN AND SETTING: Systematic review developed at Universidade Federal de Uberlândia. METHODS: We conducted an electronic search of six databases, which only included observational studies, regardless of the year, language, or country of publication, except for studies that used secondary data and were exclusively qualitative. Two reviewers performed the selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment using a specific Joanna Briggs Institute tool. RESULTS: Six studies met the inclusion criteria. All the studies had a low risk of bias. Approximately 38% of these professionals identified injuries caused by violence in patients. When asked about knowing the correct attitude to take in cases of confirmed violence, between 12% and 64% of rural healthcare providers answered positively; most of them would refer to specialized institutions and promote victim empowerment and counseling. The number of professionals with an educational background in the field ranged from 16% to 98%. CONCLUSIONS: The evident disparity across studies shows that some professionals have suboptimal knowledge and require training to adopt the correct attitude when identifying female victims of domestic violence in clinical practice. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: This systematic review was registered in the Open Science Framework Database under the registration http://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/B7Q6S.

Abstract Interleukins 6 and 17 act in bone resorption in the presence of infections of endodontic origin for host defense. Genetic polymorphisms may be associated with increased bone loss, represented by areas of large periapical lesions. This study aimed to verify the frequency of interleukin 6 and 17 gene polymorphism in patients with asymptomatic apical periodontitis or chronic apical abscess and to verify the existence of correlations between periapical lesion area with age, gender, and presence of the polymorphism, in the studied population, in the state of Pernambuco. A population consisting of thirty diagnosed individuals was included. The area of the lesions was measured in mm². Genomic DNA was extracted and genotyping was performed by Polymerase Chain Reaction Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism for interleukin 6 (rs 1800795) and interleukin 17 (rs 2275913). Fisher's exact, chi-square, and odds ratio tests were used. A logistic regression analysis was also performed using sex, age, and the presence of polymorphism as covariates, in addition to linear regression to test the relationship between age and lesion area. All tests used a significance level of 0.05% (p ≤0.05%). There was no statistical significance in the occurrence of large areas of periapical lesions correlated with age, sex, and diagnosis, nor in the distribution of alleles in the polymorphism of interleukins 6 and 17 in the studied groups. The frequency of homozygous and heterozygous polymorphism was high. The polymorphism of these interleukins is not correlated with the increase in the areas of asymptomatic periapical inflammatory lesions.

Resumo As interleucinas 6 e 17 atuam na reabsorção óssea na presença de infecções de oriegem endodôntica para defesa do hospedeiro. Polimorfismos genéticos podem estar associados ao aumento da perda óssea, representada por áreas de lesões periapicais grandes. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a frequência do polimorfismo dos genes interleucina 6 e 17 em pacientes com periodontite apical assintomática ou abscesso apical crônico e verificar a existência de correlações entre área de lesão periapical com idade, sexo e presença do polimorfismo, na população estudada, no estado de Pernambuco. Foi incluída uma população constituída por trinta indivíduos diagnosticados. A áreas da lesões foram medidas em mm². O DNA genômico foi extraído e a genotipagem realizada por Polimorfismo de Comprimento de Fragmento de Restrição de Reação em Cadeia da Polimerase para interleucina 6 (rs 1800795) e interleucina 17 (rs 2275913). Os testes exato de Fisher, qui-quadrado e odds ratio foram utilizados. Uma análise de regressão logística também foi realizada usando sexo, idade e presença de polimorfismo como covariável, além de regressão linear para testar a relação da idade e área da lesão. Todos os testes utilizaram um nível de significância de 0,05% (p ≤0.05%). Não houve significância estatística na ocorrência das áreas grandes de lesões periapicais correlacionadas com idade, sexo e diagnóstico nem nas distribuições de alelos no polimorfismo das interleucinas 6 e 17 nos grupos estudados. A frequência de polimorfismo homozigoto e heterozigoto foi alta. O polimorfismo dessas interleucinas não está correlacionado ao aumento das áreas das lesões inflamatórias periapicais assintomáticas.

Resumo O beribéri é a manifestação clínica da deficiência grave e prolongada de tiamina (vitamina B1). Doença negligenciada que acomete a população de baixa renda, em situação de insegurança alimentar e nutricional. O objetivo do estudo foi comparar casos de beribéri em indígenas com casos em não indígenas no Brasil. Trata-se de estudo transversal de casos notificados de beribéri no período de 2013 a 2018, no formulário do SUS (FormSUS) do Ministério da Saúde. Foram comparados os casos em indígenas e em não indígenas pelo teste qui-quadrado ou teste exato de Fisher com nível de significância de p < 0,05. No período estudado foram notificados no país 414 casos de beribéri, sendo 210 (50,7%) indígenas. Referiram consumo de bebidas alcoólicas 58,1% dos indígenas e 71,6% dos não-indígenas (p = 0,004); adicionalmente, 71,0% dos indígenas consumiam caxiri (bebida alcoólica tradicional fermentada). Relataram fazer esforço físico diário 76,1% dos indígenas e 40,2% dos não-indígenas (p <0 ,001). Conclui-se que o beribéri no país acomete mais indígenas e está relacionado ao consumo de álcool e ao esforço físico.

Abstract Beriberi is the clinical manifestation of severe and prolonged thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency. It is a neglected disease that affects low-income populations facing food and nutrition insecurity. The aim of this study was to compare cases of beriberi among indigenous and non-indigenous people in Brazil. We conducted a cross-sectional study using data on cases of beriberi during the period July 2013-September 2018 derived from beriberi notification forms available on the FormSUS platform. Cases in indigenous and non-indigenous patients were compared using the chi-squared test or Fisher’s exact test, adopting a significance level of 0.05. A total of 414 cases of beriberi were reported in the country during the study period, 210 of which (50.7%) were among indigenous people. Alcohol consumption was reported by 58.1% of the indigenous patients and 71.6% of the non-indigenous patients (p = 0.004); 71.0% of the indigenous patients reported that they consumed caxiri, a traditional alcoholic drink. Daily physical exertion was reported by 76.1% of the indigenous patients and 40.2% of the non-indigenous patients (p < 0.001). It is concluded that beriberi disproportionately affects indigenous people and is associated with alcohol consumption and physical exertion.

Abstract The access of People with Disabilities (PwD) to specialized care services was analyzed on the basis of the availability-accommodation and adequacy dimensions. This is a case study with a qualitative approach and triangulation of sources based on documentary research, data from the Health Information Systems and semi-structured interviews with managers, health professionals and PwD. There was an expansion of rehabilitation services in Recife, although it was not possible to analyze the production capacity of such services. The findings point to the existence of architectural and urban barriers and insufficient resources in the services studied. Furthermore, there is a long waiting time for specialized care and difficult access to assistive technologies. It was also observed that professionals have low qualifications to meet the needs of PwD and a process of permanent education in different levels of complexity has not been instituted for workers. The conclusion drawn is that the institution of the Municipal Policy of Comprehensive Health Care for the PwD was insufficient to guarantee access to health services with continuity of care, considering the permanence of the fragmentation of the care network, thus violating the right to health of this segment.

Trata-se de estudo de caso de abordagem qualitativa com triangulação de fontes a partir de pesquisa documental, dados dos Sistemas de Informações em Saúde e entrevistas semiestruturadas com gestores, profissionais de saúde e PcD. Observou-se a ampliação de serviços de reabilitação no Recife, embora não tenha sido possível analisar a capacidade de produção de tais serviços. Os achados apontam para a existência de barreiras arquitetônicas e urbanísticas e insuficiência de recursos nos serviços estudados. Ademais, há um longo tempo de espera para atenção especializada e um difícil acesso às tecnologias assistivas. Pôde-se observar ainda que os profissionais têm baixa qualificação para atender às necessidades das PcD e não se tem instituído um processo de educação permanente para os trabalhadores dos diversos níveis de complexidade. Conclui-se que a instituição da Politica Municipal de Atenção Integral à Saúde da PcD não foi suficiente para garantir o acesso aos serviços de saúde com continuidade do cuidado, considerando a permanência da fragmentação da rede de atenção, ferindo, assim, o direito à saúde deste segmento.

Abstract Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 as a prognostic factor in patients diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL). Methods: In the present study, 45 paraffin biopsies from patients up to 19 years old diagnosed with HL were used in two referral hospitals in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. Risk groups were classified into favorable and unfavorable, according to Ann Arbor. The expression of matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 and their inhibitors was performed by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Data were analyzed using the GraphPad Prism 5 program. Results: MMP-2 intensity pattern was stronger (> 10% of the total field) in patients with stage III/ IV and B symptoms. MMP-2 showed an association with the risk group (p = 0.0388). That is, the stronger the MMP-2 marking, the greater the unfavorable risk. However, for MMP-9 there was no difference in the stronger intensity pattern in relation to stages I/II and III/IV, only in the presence of B symptoms. MMP-9 showed an association with B Symptoms (p = 0.0411). Therefore, patients with B symptoms have higher MMP-9 expression. Conclusion: Our results suggest that MMP-2 expression is associated with HL progression. While MMP-9 expression is related to the clinical worsening of these patients. However, further studies are needed to evaluate the exact role of these proteins in hematologic malignancies.

Resumo A descontinuidade do cuidado e as ações no território na atenção primária à saúde em períodos de pandemia podem resultar em um aumento de complicações agudas, crônicas e mortalidade. Nesse sentido, este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar as barreiras e os facilitadores para a continuidade do cuidado e as ações no território durante a pandemia da COVID-19 em municípios do estado de São Paulo. Trata-se de uma análise qualitativa de 37 entrevistas com gestores e profissionais da saúde de seis municípios. Foram identificados dois fatores facilitadores: a existência de um serviço específico para o atendimento de demandas respiratórias relacionadas à COVID-19 e a integração dos profissionais da equipe de saúde antes da pandemia. Evidenciaram-se duas barreiras: frágil estrutura de atenção primária à saúde antes da pandemia e a falta de alinhamento das ações dos profissionais de saúde ao modelo de atendimento comunitário e territorial. Concluiu-se que os municípios que já tinham uma APS estruturada antes da pandemia tiveram menos dificuldade para manter a continuidade do cuidado e as ações no território.

Abstract The discontinuity of care and actions in the territory in primary health care during pandemic periods can escalate acute and chronic complications and mortality. In this sense, this article aims to present the barriers and facilitators for care continuity and actions in the territory during the COVID-19 pandemic in São Paulo municipalities. This qualitative analysis was conducted through 37 interviews with health managers and professionals from six municipalities. Two facilitators were identified: the availability of a specific service for attending COVID-19-related respiratory demands and the integration of the health team professionals before the pandemic. Two barriers were identified: a fragile primary healthcare structure before the pandemic and the lack of alignment of health professionals’ actions with the community and territorial care model. We concluded that municipalities with a structured PHC system before the pandemic faced fewer hardships in preserving care continuity and actions in the territory.

ABSTRACT Background: The World Health Organization recommends a market-ready, urine-based point-of-care diagnostic test for circulating cathodic antigens (CCA) to determine the prevalence of S. mansoni. This study evaluated the performance of the URINE CCA (SCHISTO) ECO TESTE® (POC-ECO), which is currently available in Brazil. Methods: Residents from eight sites with different prevalence estimates provided one urine sample for POC-ECO and one stool sample for Kato-Katz (KK) and Helmintex® (HTX) testing as an egg-detecting reference for infection status. Results: None of the study sites had significantly higher POC-ECO accuracy than KK. Conclusions: POC-ECO is not currently recommended in Brazilian schistosomiasis elimination programs.

ABSTRACT Background: We evaluated the association between polymorphisms in the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) (-G308A) gene and upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) in schistosomiasis. Methods: This was a transverse study involving 294 Brazilian patients infected with Schistosoma mansoni. Results: The homozygous A/A genotype in TNF-α (-G308A) showed a risk association (prevalence ratio = 1.90, p = 0.008) with UGIB. There was no statistically significant difference in serum TNF-α levels between the clinical groups. Conclusions: The polymorphic TNF-α (-G308A) can be a risk factor for UGIB, in addition to being a potentially predictive factor for the severity of UGIB in schistosomiasis.

Abstract Fusariosis (Fusarium guttiforme) is the most destructive disease of the pineapple crop in Brazil. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reaction to an isolate in pineapple genotypes selected for crownless fruit weight (CFW) and total soluble solids (TSS). A total of 1,125 genotypes ('BRS Imperial'×'Pérola') were evaluated. Selection for greatest CFW and TSS was performed during the sexual cycle. The isolate was inoculated on slip-type plantlets using the immersion technique. Plantlets were evaluated for disease intensity in the stem, attributing scores from 0 to 5. Eighteen genotypes were selected with values from 1.514 to 3.307 g (CFW) and from 14.6 to 19.4 °Brix (TSS). Six genotypes reached the highest level of survival against the IT-01 isolate. Selected genotypes have agronomic traits superior to those of their parents, which qualify them to be cycled back into the plant breeding program of the Instituto Agronômico de Pernambuco - IPA.

Abstract Introduction The preservation of bone mass in elderly women is associated with better levels of practice of systematic physical exercises. Aerobic training combined with blood flow restriction seems to be a new alternative that determines this process, but knowledge gaps are still observed when referring to exercise associated with blood flow restriction (BFR) and adaptations on bone variables. Objective To analyze the chronic effects of aerobic training with and without BFR on bone mineral density and bone biomarker osteocalcin concentrations in older women. Methods Thirty women were randomized into the following groups: walking on a treadmill at low intensity with BFR; moderate treadmill walking with no BFR; only BFR (no exercise) for 20 minutes, twice a week, for 24 weeks. Bone mineral density was measured before and 24 weeks after intervention. Blood serum osteocalcin concentrations were measured before, 12 and 24 weeks after intervention. Results There were no differences between groups in bone mineral density (femoral neck, p = 0.31; total femur, p = 0.17; lumbar spin, p = 0.06) and osteocalcine (W(2) = 0.27; p = 0.87) ouctomes after 24 weeks of intervention. Conclusion There was no difference between walking training, blood flow restriction only, or walking+blood flow restriction on bone mineral density and osteocalcin concentrations after 24-weeks of intervention in older women with osteopenia/osteoporosis.

Resumo Introdução A preservação da massa óssea em mulheres idosas está associada a melhores níveis de prática de exercícios físicos sistemáticos. O treinamento aeróbico combinado com restrição de fluxo sanguíneo (RFS) parece ser uma nova alternativa que determina esse processo, mas ainda são observadas lacunas de conhecimento quando se refere ao exercício associado à RFS e adaptações nas variáveis ósseas. Objetivo Analisar os efeitos crônicos do treinamento aeróbico com e sem RFS na densidade mineral óssea e nas concentrações do biomarcador ósseo osteocalcina em mulheres idosas. Métodos Trinta mulheres foram randomizadas nos seguintes grupos: caminhada em esteira de baixa intensidade com RFS; caminhada moderada em esteira sem RFS; apenas RFS (sem exercícios) por 20 minutos, duas vezes por semana, durante 24 semanas. A densidade mineral óssea foi medida antes e 24 semanas após a intervenção. As concentrações séricas de osteocalcina no sangue foram medidas antes, 12 e 24 semanas após a intervenção. Resultados Não houve diferenças entre os grupos na densidade mineral óssea (colo do fêmur, p = 0,31; fêmur total, p = 0,17; giro lombar, p = 0,06) e osteocalcina (W(2) = 0,27; p = 0,87) após 24 semanas de intervenção. Conclusão Não houve diferença entre treinamento de caminhada, apenas restrição de fluxo sanguíneo ou caminhada + restrição de fluxo sanguíneo na densidade mineral óssea e nas concentrações de osteocalcina após 24 semanas de intervenção em mulheres idosas com osteopenia/osteoporose.

The demand for new advanced high strength steels (AHSS) has been increasing in the last few decades. A large part of this demand comes from automotive companies. We have produced a new complex-phase (CP) steel with 1200 MPa of mechanical resistance and 8% of elongation, called CP1200. In this paper the dilatometric and microstructural characterization of a newly produced CP1200 steel is presented. The new steel was produced by making changes to the heat treatment of the already industrially available CP1100. The microstructure was quantified using light optical microscopy (LOM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The microstructure of both steels was compared to identify the origin of the mechanical properties improvement. A new microstructure distribution, with higher amount of bainite and smaller concentration of ferrite and martensite was identified.

ABSTRACT Objective: to determine the effect and influence of an educational intervention on childcare consultation on nurses’ knowledge and practice. Method: a mixed research method was adopted, with a sequential explanatory design, characterized by a stage with a quantitative approach, developed in a quasi-experimental study, with 30 nurses, followed by a qualitative one, carried out by in-depth interview, with 11 nurses working in the Family Health Units of João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. In quantitative analysis, descriptive statistics and proportion test were used, and in qualitative analysis, thematic analysis was used. Results: the effect of the educational intervention was statistically significant in the consultation dimensions: consultation frequency; child nutrition; physical examination; growth assessment; development assessment; and health education. In the qualitative stage, the influence of the intervention in expanding knowledge and changing some nurses’ practices in the aforementioned dimensions was understood, with agreement between the data found. Conclusion: the positive effect of the educational intervention on nurses’ knowledge and practice in childcare consultations was evident, enabling them to reflect on the content covered and promote changes in their daily lives.
