Objective: to verify the correct assessment rate when using direct visual comparison in the cervical dilation measures in hard-consistency cervix simulation models. Method: an open-label and randomized study conducted with 63 Obstetrics students that were designated either to use direct visual comparison in a dilation guide or not. The students estimated cervical dilation blindly in simulators with different dilations. The primary outcome was the correct assessment rate. Results: the students performed 141 tests. A higher correct assessment rate was found in the Experimental Group than in the Control Group (47.3% versus 27.2%; p<0.001; Odds Ratio = 2.41; 95% Confidence Interval = 1.62-3.58). Conclusion: the direct visual comparison increased precision of the cervical dilation assessment in cervix simulation models, with the possibility of being beneficial in laboratory training.

RESUMO Com a pandemia do COVID-19 evidenciou-se, mediante a percepção de sinais e sintomas resistentes, a existência da Síndrome Pós-COVID-19 ou Covid Longa. A avaliação e a reabilitação das sequelas presentes devem levar em consideração a mobilidade funcional e a força de preensão palmar para retorno íntegro das atividades de vida diária. O presente estudo teve por objetivo avaliar a mobilidade funcional e a força de preensão palmar no período pós-COVID-19 de usuários das Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS´s) do município de São João del-Rei/MG. Tratou-se de um estudo transversal, onde foram avaliados 35 usuários da Atenção Básica de Saúde (ABS), e utilizadas as seguintes avaliações: um questionário contendo 11 perguntas sobre a doença; avaliação dos sinais vitais; força muscular de membros superiores com dinamômetro; teste de marcha estacionária de dois minutos (TME´2) e time up and go (TUG). Para análise dos dados foi utilizado o pacote estatístico SPSS 11.0, teste χ2, considerando o valor de p< 0,05 e a descrição de valores médios e desvio padrão. Foi evidenciada uma média de força de preensão palmar igual a 44,52 Kgf, média de elevação do joelho no TME´2 sendo igual a 80 elevações e no TUG uma média de 25 segundos (p< 0,05). Observou-se que os indivíduos apresentaram alterações significativas na mobilidade funcional, enquanto os dados vitais, de força de preensão e capacidade aeróbica apresentaram dentro dos valores normais para idade média. Conclui-se que os usuários avaliados apresentaram limitação da mobilidade funcional como sequela durante a Síndrome Pós-COVID-19 sendo necessário traçar formas de reabilitação funcional voltadas para melhora da mobilidade funcional desses usuários.

ABSTRACT With the COVID-19 pandemic, the existence of the post-COVID-19 Syndrome or Covid Longa became evident through the perception of resistant signs and symptoms. The assessment and rehabilitation of the present sequelae should consider functional mobility and hand grip strength for a total return to activities of daily living. The present study aimed to evaluate the functional mobility and hand grip strength in the post-COVID-19 period of Basic Health Units (UBS's) users in the city of São João del-Rei/MG. It was a cross-sectional study where 35 users of Primary Health Care (ABS) were evaluated, and the following assessments were used: a questionnaire containing 11 questions about the disease; assessment of vital signs; upper limb muscle strength with dynamometer; two-minute stationary gait test (TME´2) and time up and go (TUG). The SPSS 11.0 statistical package with the χ2 test was used for data analysis, considering the value of p< 0.05 and the description of mean values and standard deviation. It was evidenced an average handgrip strength equal to 44.52 Kgf, average knee elevation in TME’2 being equal to 80 elevations and in TUG an average of 25 seconds (p< 0.05). It was observed that individuals showed significant changes in functional mobility, while vital data, grip strength and aerobic capacity were within normal values for average age. It is concluded that the evaluated users presented functional mobility limitation as a sequel during the post-COVID-19 Syndrome, making it necessary to outline forms of functional rehabilitation aimed at improving the functional mobility of these users.

RESUMO Este estudo comparou o treinamento de força, treinamento aeróbico e treinamento de resistência muscular, sobre a autonomia funcional e qualidade de vida de idosos. Participaram 133 sujeitos, divididos em quatro grupos, realizaram 16 semanas de treinamento de força, resistência muscular e aeróbico, além do grupo controle que não realizou nenhuma prática. Para avaliar a autonomia funcional foi utilizado o protocolo GDLAM e para qualidade de vida o questionário WHOQOL-OLD. Após a análise dos resultados, verificou-se que, apesar dos efeitos positivos para todos os grupos experimentais, o grupo força se mostrou mais eficiente na diminuição do tempo para execução dos testes da autonomia funcional (Δ% −22.5876, p< 0,0001). Para a qualidade de vida o mesmo grupo apresentou uma diferença significativa para o domínio 6 que trata da intimidade, elevando então a qualidade de vida geral dos indivíduos (Δ% 11.96531, p< 0,0001). Conclui-se que o treinamento de força apresentou maior índice de melhora na autonomia funcional e qualidade de vida dos idosos. Todavia seria imprudente descartar os efeitos positivos proporcionados pelos demais treinamentos analisados. Neste sentido, os achados deste estudo reforçam a prática regular e orientada de exercícios físicos de diferentes tipos para os idosos, sendo ferramenta importante e decisiva na manutenção e melhora das múltiplas variáveis de saúde.

ABSTRACT This study compared resistance training, aerobic training and muscular endurance training, on functional autonomy and quality of life of the elderly. The present study encompassed 133 participants, divided into four groups, who performed 16 weeks of resistance training, aerobic training and muscular endurance training, in addition to the control group that did not perform any practice. The GDLAM protocol was used to assess functional autonomy, and the WHOQOL-OLD questionnaire was used to assess the quality of life. After analysing the results, it was found that despite the positive effects for all experimental groups, the resistance training group was more efficient in reducing the time to perform functional autonomy tests (Δ% −22.5876, p< 0.0001). Regarding the quality of life, the same group presented a significant difference for domain 6, which deals with intimacy, raising the overall quality of life of individuals (Δ% 11.96531, p< 0.0001). It was concluded that resistance training showed a higher rate of improvement in functional autonomy and quality of life of the elderly. However, it would be imprudent to rule out the positive effects provided by the other training analysed. In this sense, the findings of this study reinforce the regular and oriented practice of physical exercises of different types for the elderly, being an important and decisive tool in the maintenance and improvement of multiple health variables.

Resumen Introducción: la ingesta elevada de sodio es un factor de riesgo para enfermedades como la hipertensión arterial sistémica, el accidente cerebrovascular, la hipertrofia ventricular izquierda y la enfermedad renal crónica (ERC). Objetivo: evaluar la correlación entre la ingesta estimada de sodio y la excreción urinaria de 24 horas en pacientes con ERC sin diálisis. Métodos: estudio transversal con 151 individuos. Se evaluaron datos demográficos, socioeconómicos, clínicos y de estilo de vida. El sodio se cuantificó en orina de 24 horas y se estimó en Food Recall (R24h) de 24 horas. Para evaluar la asociación entre variables demográficas, antropométricas, nutricionales y de laboratorio con la excreción de sodio en orina de 24 horas, se utilizó el análisis de varianza (ANOVA) o la prueba de Kruskal-Wallis. La correlación entre la excreción urinaria de sodio de 24 horas y la ingesta de sodio en la dieta se realizó mediante el coeficiente de correlación de Spearman. Resultados: la edad media fue de 60,8 ± 11,8 años, el 51,7 % eran mujeres. Los pacientes hipertensos eran el 88,9 %; los diabéticos, el 45,0 %, y el 39,1 % se encontraban en estadio 3B de ERC. La mediana de excreción de sodio en orina de 24 horas fue de 112,2 mmol/L y la ingesta de R24h fue de 833,8 mg/día. Los individuos pertenecientes al tercil más alto de excreción de sodio (T3) presentaron valores de PTH más bajos y aquellos con niveles más bajos de tercil (T1), mayores niveles séricos de HDL-c (p < 0,05). No hubo correlación estadística entre la ingesta de sodio en la dieta y la excreción de orina durante 24 horas (valor p = 0,241). Conclusión: la ausencia de correlación entre el sodio obtenido por excreción urinaria de 24 horas y la ingesta dietética demuestra la fragilidad de la estimación de la excreción de sodio a través de la encuesta dietética.

Abstract Introduction: high sodium intake is a risk factor for diseases such as systemic arterial hypertension, stroke, left ventricular hypertrophy, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Objective: to evaluate the correlation between estimated sodium intake by dietary intake and 24-hour urinary excretion in patients with non-dialysis CKD. Material and methods: a cross-sectional study with 151 individuals. Demographic, socioeconomic, clinical and lifestyle data were evaluated. Sodium was dosed in 24-hour urine and estimated by 24-hour Food Recall (R24h). To evaluate the association between demographic, anthropometric, nutritional and laboratory variables with sodium excretion in 24-hour urine, variance analysis (ANOVA) or Kruskal-Wallis test were used. The correlation between 24-hour urinary sodium excretion and dietary sodium intake was performed by Spearman's correlation coefficient. Results: mean age was 60.8 ± 11.8 years, 51.7 % were women. Hypertensive patients, 88.9 %; diabetics, 45.0 %; and 39.1 % were in stage 3B of CKD. Median sodium excretion in 24-hour urine was 112.2 mmol/L and R24h intake was 833.8 mg/day. Individuals belonging to the highest tertile of sodium excretion (T3) presented lower PTH values, and those with lower tertile (T1), higher serum HDL-c levels (p < 0.05). There was no statistical correlation between dietary sodium intake and 24-hour urine excretion (p-value = 0.241). Conclusion: the non-correlation between sodium obtained by 24-hour urinary excretion and dietary intake demonstrates the fragility of the estimation of sodium excretion through the dietary survey.

Abstract Objective To evaluate clinical characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 patients infected with HIV, and to compare with a paired sample without HIV infection. Methods This is a substudy of a Brazilian multicentric cohort that comprised two periods (2020 and 2021). Data was obtained through the retrospective review of medical records. Primary outcomes were admission to the intensive care unit, invasive mechanical ventilation, and death. Patients with HIV and controls were matched for age, sex, number of comorbidities, and hospital of origin using the technique of propensity score matching (up to 4:1). They were compared using the Chi-Square or Fisher's Exact tests for categorical variables and the Wilcoxon for numerical variables. Results Throughout the study, 17,101 COVID-19 patients were hospitalized, and 130 (0.76%) of those were infected with HIV. The median age was 54 (IQR: 43.0;64.0) years in 2020 and 53 (IQR: 46.0;63.5) years in 2021, with a predominance of females in both periods. People Living with HIV (PLHIV) and their controls showed similar prevalence for admission to the ICU and invasive mechanical ventilation requirement in the two periods, with no significant differences. In 2020, in-hospital mortality was higher in the PLHIV compared to the controls (27.9% vs. 17.7%; p = 0.049), but there was no difference in mortality between groups in 2021 (25.0% vs. 25.1%; p > 0.999). Conclusions Our results reiterate that PLHIV were at higher risk of COVID-19 mortality in the early stages of the pandemic, however, this finding did not sustain in 2021, when the mortality rate is similar to the control group.

Resumo Fundamento A formação de células espumosas ocorre devido ao aumento em lipoproteína plasmática de baixa densidade (LDL) e desregulação da inflamação, sendo importante para o desenvolvimento da aterosclerose. Objetivo Avaliar o perfil do fator de necrose tumoral alfa (TNF-α) e da interleucina-6 (IL-6) no método de formação da célula espumosa existente, otimizando esse protocolo. Métodos A LDL foi isolada, oxidada e marcada com sonda de isotiocianato de fluoresceína (FITC). As células espumosas foram geradas de célula derivada de monócitos humanos THP-1 e incubadas na ausência (controle) ou presença de FITC-ox-LDL (10, 50, 100, 150 ou 200 μg/mL), por 12, 24, 48 ou 72 horas. A FITC-ox-LDL na célula foi quantificada por microscopia. O ensaio de imunoabsorção enzimática foi avaliado para quantificar a IL-6 e o TNF-α, com um p <0,05 considerado significativo. Resultados Todas as concentrações de FITC-ox-LDL testadas apresentaram fluorescência mais alta em comparação com o controle, demonstrando maior acúmulo de lipoproteínas nas células. Quanto mais alta a concentração de FITC-ox-LDL, maior a produção de TNF-α e IL-6. A produção de IL-6 pelas células espumosas foi detectada até o valor de 150 µg/mL da LDL máxima de estímulo. Concentrações acima de 50 μg/mL de LDL estimularam maior liberação de TNF-α comparado ao controle. Conclusões Nosso modelo contribui para o entendimento da liberação de IL-6 e TNF-α em resposta a várias concentrações de ox-LDL usando o método otimizado para a formação de células espumosas.

Abstract Background The formation of foam cells occurs due to the increase in low-density plasma lipoprotein (LDL) and dysregulation of inflammation, which is important for the development of atherosclerosis. Objective To evaluate the profile of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the existing foam cell formation method, optimizing this protocol. Methods The LDL was isolated, oxidized, and labeled with a Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) probe. Foam cells were generated from THP-1 human monocyte-derived cells and incubated in the absence (control) or presence of FITC-ox-LDL (10, 50, 100, 150, or 200 μg/mL), for 12, 24, 48, or 72 hours. The accumulated FITC-ox-LDL in the cell was quantified by microscopy. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was evaluated to quantify the IL-6 and TNF-α, with p < 0.05 considered significant. Results All the FITC-ox-LDL concentrations tested showed a higher fluorescence when compared to the control, showing a greater accumulation of lipoprotein in cells. The higher the concentration of FITC-ox-LDL, the greater the production of TNF-α and IL-6. The production of IL-6 by foam cells was detected up to the value of 150 µg/mL of the maximum stimulus for LDL. Concentrations above 50 μg/mL LDL stimulated greater release of TNF-α compared to control. Conclusions Our model contributes to the understanding of the release of IL-6 and TNF-α in response to different concentrations of ox-LDL, using an optimized method for the formation of foam cells.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Overweight negatively impacts the cardiovascular system and osteomyoarticular, promoting pain in the joints of the lower limbs. Therefore, strategies have been applied to reduce overweight through lifestyle changes. Objective: To investigate the effects of two multidisciplinary intervention programs on the health-related physical fitness of obese women with pain symptoms in the knees. Methods: Women between 40 and 59 years of age with obesity (n=59) were evaluated pre- and post-intervention in terms of anthropometry, body composition, physical fitness, level of disability in the knee and hip, and health-related quality of life. A randomized experimental study of parallel groups was conducted for 8 weeks, using two resistance exercise programs and food reeducation. All participants received the same nutritional interventions. For physical exercises, the participants were randomized into two groups: G1, the “strength group” using machines (n=30), and G2, the “body weight” group (n=29). Twenty-eight women (G1, n=18; G2, n=10) were included in the final analyses. This study was approved by Ethics Local Committee. The groups and time were evaluated using two-way analysis of variance with repeated measures. A p<0.05 was assumed for all analyses. Results: A time effect was identified, with higher values for maximum isometric lumbar traction strength after the intervention period in both groups (p<0.05). However, no significant differences were identified among the other variables investigated (p>0.05). Conclusion: The absence of significant results for all variables, except maximum isometric lumbar traction, may be justified by the moderate adherence of the participants to interventions (approximately 59%-66%) since the study was conducted during the period of social isolation (COVID-19). However, it is believed that the intervention models were positive in maintaining the variables studied.

RESUMEN Introducción: El sobrepeso afecta negativamente al sistema cardiovascular y al osteomioarticular, favoreciendo el dolor en las articulaciones de las extremidades inferiores. Por lo tanto, se han aplicado estrategias para reducir el sobrepeso a través de cambios en el estilo de vida. Objetivo: investigar los efectos de dos programas de intervención multidisciplinares sobre la aptitud física relacionada con la salud de mujeres obesas con síntomas de dolor en las rodillas. Métodos: Se evaluó a mujeres entre 40 y 59 años con obesidad (n=59) en el tiempo pre y post intervención en antropometría, composición corporal, aptitud física, nivel de discapacidad en rodilla y cadera y calidad de vida relacionada con la salud. Se realizó un ensayo clínico aleatorizado de grupos paralelos, utilizando dos programas de ejercicio de resistencia y reeducación alimentaria, durante ocho semanas. Todos los participantes recibieron el mismo contenido de intervención nutricional y para ejercicios físicos se aleatorizaron en dos grupos, G1 siendo el "grupo de fuerza" utilizando máquinas (n=30), y G2 siendo el grupo de "entrenamiento funcional" (n=29). Veintiocho mujeres (G1=18 + G2=10) fueron incluidas en los análisis finales. Este estudio fue aprobado por el Comité Local de Ética. Los grupos y el tiempo se evaluaron mediante análisis bidireccional de la varianza, con medidas repetidas. Se asumió una p < 0,05 para todos los análisis. Resultados: se identificó un efecto de tiempo, con valores más altos para la fuerza máxima de tracción lumbar isométrica (MILTS), luego del período de intervención en ambos grupos (p < 0.05). Sin embargo, para las otras variables investigadas, no se identificaron diferencias significativas (p > 0.05). Conclusión: La ausencia de resultados significativos para todas las variables, excepto FIMTL, puede estar justificada por la adherencia moderada de los participantes a las intervenciones (~ 59% a 66%) ya que el estudio se realizó durante el período de aislamiento social (COVID-19). Sin embargo, se cree que los modelos de intervención fueron positivos en el mantenimiento de las variables estudiadas.

RESUMO Objetivo: Identificar e analisar os fatores sociodemográficos, de saúde e rede de apoio social do idoso associados à fragilidade nas avaliações realizadas entre 2007/2008 e 2018. Método: Estudo longitudinal com idosos de idade ≥65 anos que vivem na comunidade. Foram utilizados os instrumentos de Perfil demográfico, Mini Exame do Estado Mental, Medida de Independência Funcional, Escala de Lawton e Brody, Escala de Depressão Geriátrica, Mapa Mínimo de Relações do Idoso e Escala de Fragilidade de Edmonton. Utilizou-se a análise descritiva e regressão linear, todos os testes com p < 0,05. Resultados: Dos 189 idosos no período do estudo (2007/2008–2018), a maioria tinha 80 anos e mais, com média de 82,31 anos; sexo feminino, sem companheiro, moravam com outros familiares e eram aposentados. Na análise final, independentemente da idade e do sexo, verificou-se diminuição da independência funcional, aumento dos sintomas depressivos, do número de doenças autorreferidas e aumento no escore da fragilidade. Conclusão: Os fatores que se associaram ao aumento da fragilidade do idoso no tempo de estudo foram idade, sexo feminino e sem companheiro. A equipe de saúde, que inclui a enfermagem, deve estar atenta às mudanças e elaborar planos de cuidados para prevenir ou evitar a sua progressão.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify and analyze the sociodemographic and health factors and the social support network of the elderly associated with frailty in the assessments carried out between 2007/2008 and 2018. Methods: This is a longitudinal study with elderly people aged ≥65 years living in the community. The instruments used were those for Demographic Profile, the Mini Mental State Examination, the Functional Independence Measure, Lawton and Brody Scale, Geriatric Depression Scale, Minimum Relationship Map for the Elderly, and Edmonton Frail Scale. Descriptive analysis and linear regression were used, all tests with p < 0.05. Results: Of the 189 elderly in the study period (2007/2008–2018), most were 80 years old and over, with an average of 82.31 years old; they were women, with no partner, who lived with other family members and were retired. In the final analysis, regardless of age and sex, a decrease in functional independence, an increase in depressive symptoms, an increase in the number of self-reported illnesses, and an increase in the frailty score were observed. Conclusion: The factors that were associated with the increase in frailty of the elderly during the study period were age, female sex, and no partner. The health team, which includes nurses, shall be aware of changes and develop care plans to prevent or avoid their progression.

Se utilizó el análisis descriptivo y regresión linear, todos los tests con p < 0,05. Resultados: Entre los 189 adultos mayores en el período de la investigación (2007/2008–2018), la mayoría tenía 80 años o más, con edad promedia de 82,31 años; sexo femenino, sin pareja, vivían con otros familiares y eran jubilados. En el análisis final sin considerar la edad y el sexo, se averiguó la disminución de la independencia funcional, aumento de los síntomas depresivos, del número de enfermedades auto referidas y aumento en el score de fragilidad. Conclusión: Los factores que se asociaron al aumento de la fragilidad del adulto mayor en el tiempo de investigación fueron la edad, el sexo femenino y sin pareja. El equipo de salud, que incluye a enfermería, debe tener atención a los cambios y elaborar planes de cuidados para prevenir o evitar su progresión.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Scientific evidence associates the use of invasive mechanical ventilation with a higher probability of developing acute kidney injury, but the lack of consensus on this association is not uncommon. Objective: To identify the relationship between mechanical ventilation times and the onset and severity of acute kidney injury. Methods: Historical cohort carried out, between 2016 and 2018, in an intensive care unit of the Federal District, Brazil. The population consisted of 387 patients, but the sample consisted of 52 patients who required invasive mechanical ventilation for one week and two. The data were recorded with a structured questionnaire composed of identification variables, clinical data, hemodynamic variables and laboratory parameters. Chi-square, Fisher's exact and Mann-Whitney tests were used for the association analysis. Results with P < 0.05 were considered significant. Results: Acute kidney injury of different severity degrees predominated in more than half of the patients (55.80%), stage 2 being the most prevalent (approximately 30%). Patients who remained on mechanical ventilation for a week or two showed a decreased risk for acute kidney injury (OR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.72-0.99, P = 0.038 and OR: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.63-0.94, P = 0.010, respectively). Conclusion: Acute kidney injury of different severity degrees was present in patients with invasive mechanical ventilation. However, the time of mechanical ventilation alone was not a determinant of acute kidney injury.

RESUMEN Introducción: La evidencia científica vincula el uso de la ventilación mecánica invasiva con una mayor probabilidad de desarrollar lesión renal aguda, pero la falta de consenso sobre esta asociación no es infrecuente. Objetivo: Identificar la relación entre tiempos de ventilación mecánica y la aparición y gravedad de la lesión renal aguda. Métodos: Cohorte histórica realizada en una Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos del Distrito Federal, Brasil, entre 2016 y 2018. La población fue compuesta por 387 pacientes, pero la muestra consistió en 52 pacientes que necesitaron ventilación mecánica invasiva durante una semana y dos. El registro de los datos se realizó en un cuestionario estructurado compuesto por variables de identificación, datos clínicos, variables hemodinámicas y parámetros de laboratorio. Para los análisis de asociación se utilizaron las pruebas de Chi-cuadrado, Exacta de Fisher y Mann-Whitney. Los resultados con p < 0,05 se consideraron significativos. Resultados: La lesión renal aguda de diferentes severidades predominó en más de la mitad de los pacientes (55,80 %), siendo el estadio 2 más prevalente (aproximadamente 30 % ). Los pacientes que permanecieron en ventilación mecánica durante una semana o dos mostraron una disminución del riesgo de lesión renal aguda (OR 0,85; IC del 95 %: 0,72 a 0,99, p = 0,038) y OR 0,77; IC 95 % 0.63-0.94, p = 0,010, respectivamente). Conclusión: La lesión renal aguda de diferentes severidades estuvo presente en pacientes con ventilación mecánica invasiva. Sin embargo, el tiempo de ventilación mecánica solo no fue determinante de lesión renal aguda.

ABSTRACT Objective: Adipose tissue-derived stromal/stem cells (ASCs) and vitamin D have immunomodulatory actions that could be useful for type 1 diabetes (T1D). We aimed in this study to investigate the safety and efficacy of ASCs + daily cholecalciferol (VIT D) for 6 months in patients with recent-onset T1D. Materials and methods: In this prospective, dual-center, open trial, patients with recent onset T1D received one dose of allogenic ASC (1 x 106 cells/kg) and cholecalciferol 2,000 UI/day for 6 months (group 1). They were compared to patients who received chol-ecalciferol (group 2) and standard treatment (group 3). Adverse events were recorded; C-peptide (CP), insulin dose and HbA1c were measured at baseline (T0), after 3 (T3) and 6 months (T6). Results: In group 1 (n = 7), adverse events included transient headache (all), mild local reactions (all), tachycardia (n = 4), abdominal cramps (n = 1), thrombophlebitis (n = 4), scotomas (n = 2), and central retinal vein occlusion at T3 (n = 1, resolution at T6). Group 1 had an increase in basal CP (p = 0.018; mean: 40.41+/-40.79 %), without changes in stimulated CP after mixed meal (p = 0.62), from T0 to T6. Basal CP remained stable in groups 2 and 3 (p = 0.58 and p = 0.116, respectively). Group 1 had small insulin requirements (0.31+/- 0.26 UI/kg) without changes at T6 (p = 0.44) and HbA1c decline (p = 0.01). At T6, all patients (100%; n = 7) in group 1 were in honeymoon vs 75% (n = 3/4) and 50% (n = 3/6) in groups 2 and 3, p = 0.01. Conclusions: Allogenic ASC + VIT D without immunosuppression was safe and might have a role in the preservation of β-cells in patients with recent-onset T1D. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03920397.

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between two Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) questionnaires (the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) and the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI)) and to investigate the factors associated with the OHRQoL of institutionalized elderly individuals. A cross-sectional multicenter study was performed with 344 institutionalized elderly individuals residing in two Brazilian cities. Six trained researchers interviewed the elderly individuals. Sociodemographic data were collected from medical records. Dental caries experience and the use of and need for dentures were recorded through oral examination performed by two trained examiners. A Likert scale (1–5 points) was used to assess general health and self-perceived oral health. The number of chewing cycles needed to chew a portion of peanuts was used to assess the swallowing threshold. The OHIP-14 and GOHAI were used to evaluate OHRQoL, and statistically significant correlations were assessed using Spearman’s correlation test (p < 0.05). Poisson regression (p < 0.05) was used to investigate the association of OHRQoL with independent variables. Scores on the OHIP-14 (7.57 ± 8.63) and GOHAI (32.46 ± 3.85) were strongly and inversely correlated (r2 = -0.671, p < 0.001), although these measures were associated with different factors. A higher OHIP-14 total score (worse OHRQoL) was associated with female gender, a greater number of healthy teeth, worse self-perceived general health and oral health, and a lower swallowing threshold (p < 0.05). A higher GOHAI total score (better OHRQoL) was associated with a greater number of filled teeth, better self-perceived oral health and a greater swallowing threshold (p < 0.05). In conclusion, worse OHRQoL among institutionalized elderly individuals is associated with worse self-perceived oral health and a greater swallowing threshold.

Resumo Introdução O zumbido caracteriza-se pela presença de som na ausência de estímulo sonoro externo. Em indivíduos com audiometria normal pode estar associado à dificuldade na atenção auditiva, principalmente naqueles que referem alto incômodo do zumbido. Objetivo Investigar a habilidade de atenção auditiva em indivíduos com queixa de zumbido. Método Pesquisa do tipo observacional analítica de caráter transversal. Foram avaliados 30 voluntários com audição normal (até 25 dBNA): 15 com zumbido (grupo teste) e 15 sem a queixa (grupo controle), entre 18 e 40 anos. Os voluntários responderam o questionário do handicap do zumbido – Tinnitus Handicap Inventory – e a escala visual analógica. Em seguida, fez-se a avaliação audiológica básica (meatoscopia, audiometria tonal, vocal e imitanciometria) e medidas psicoacústicas do zumbido (loudness e pitch). Para avaliar a atenção auditiva, foram usados os testes: potencial evocado auditivo cognitivo (P300), processamento auditivo central (dicótico de dígitos e de fala no ruído) e o de atenção auditiva sustentada. Resultados No Tinnitus Handicap Inventory, indivíduos com zumbido apresentaram escore médio de 37,78 (± 27,05); caracterizado por grau moderado. No teste dicótico de dígitos (separação binaural) percebeu-se diferença entre os grupos, nas duas orelhas. Além disso, houve diferença no teste de fala no ruído, em ambas as orelhas (OD: p = 0,044; OE: p = 0,019), no P300 (p = 0,049) e no teste de atenção auditiva sustentada total (p = 0,032). Além de correlação negativa entre o teste de atenção auditiva sustentada, decréscimo de vigilância e integração binaural (OD: p = 0,044; OE: p = 0,048). Conclusão Os indivíduos com zumbido apresentaram desempenho inferior ao grupo controle na habilidade de atenção auditiva. Portanto, infere-se que o zumbido está associado ao baixo desempenho na atenção auditiva seletiva e sustentada nos voluntários pesquisados. Tais aspectos devem ser considerados para o manejo do paciente com zumbido.

Abstract Introduction Tinnitus is characterized by the presence of a sound in the absence of external sound stimulus. In individuals with normal audiometry, it may be associated with auditory attention difficulty, especially in those who report high tinnitus annoyance. Objective To investigate auditory attention ability in individuals with tinnitus complaint. Methods Cross-sectional analytical observational study. We evaluated 30 volunteers with normal hearing (up to 25 dBHL): 15 with tinnitus (test group) and 15 with no complaints (control group), aged between 18-40 years. The volunteers answered the tinnitus handicap inventory questionnaire and a visual analogue scale. Subsequently, a basic audiological evaluation (meatoscopy, tonal and vocal audiometry, and imittanciometry) and psychoacoustic measures of tinnitus (loudness and pitch) were performed. To evaluate auditory attention, the following tests were performed: auditory cognitive evoked potential (P300), central auditory processing tests (dichotic digits test and speech-in-noise test) and sustained auditory attention ability test. Results In the tinnitus handicap inventory, individuals with tinnitus had a mean score of 37.78 (±27.05), characterized as moderate degree. In the dichotic digits test (binaural separation), a difference was observed between the groups in both ears. Moreover, there was a difference in the speech-in-noise test in both ears (RE: p = 0.044; LE: p = 0.019), in P300 (p = 0.049) and in total sustained auditory attention ability test (p = 0.032). Also, there is a negative correlation between sustained auditory attention ability test, decrease in attentiveness and binaural integration (RE: p = 0.044; LE: p = 0.048). Conclusions Individuals with tinnitus had a poorer performance compared to the control group regarding auditory attention ability. Therefore, it is inferred that tinnitus is associated with poor performance in selective and sustained auditory attention in the assessed volunteers. These aspects should be considered for the management of patients with tinnitus.

The aim of this article is to compare number of attendances to pediatric emergencies and hospital admissions, considering a period time in which measures of social distancing and restriction or urban mobility were in course, with the same period in previous years to the pandemic. We performed a case-series study in two pediatric emergencies and hospital admission between 16th March and 16th April 2020 (first month of social distancing in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil). Data were compared with the same period, in the two previous years, using Analysis of variance (ANOVA). A p value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant.  The number of attendances in the Unit A and B, respectively, were 6.579 and 1.538 in 2018; 5.750 and 1.430 in 2019 and 1.762 and 375 in 2020. The number of hospital admissions in the Unit A and B, respectively, were 823 and 199 in 2018; of 721 and 188 in 2019; and 325 and 135 in 2020. In both units, there was a statistically significant reduction of attendances and hospitals admissions when 2020 year was compared with the two previous years (p>0.0001). Relative percentage of acute respiratory diseases and influenza-like illness was 36.7%, 36.5% and 29.2%, respectively in 2018, 2019 and 2020 in the Unit A; and 25.9%, 24.2% and 24.5%, respectively for the same years, in the Unit B. We concluded that there was a statistically significant reduction of attendances and hospitals admissions in the pediatric emergencies evaluated, being the results attributed to social distancing and restriction of urban mobility during the period studied.

O objetivo deste artigo foi comparar o número de atendimentos em emergências pediátricas e internações hospitalares, considerando um período de tempo no qual vigoravam medidas de distanciamento social e restrição de mobilidade urbana, com o mesmo período em anos anteriores à pandemia da COVID-19. Realizamos um estudo de uma série de casos de atendimentos em duas emergências pediátricas e internações hospitalares entre 16 de março e 16 de abril de 2020 (primeiro mês de distanciamento social no Estado do Rio de Janeiro). Os dados foram comparados com o mesmo período dos dois anos anteriores, através de análise de variância (ANOVA). Um valor de p <0.05 foi considerado estatisticamente significativo. O número de atendimentos nas unidades A e B, respectivamente, foi de 6.579 e 1.538 em 2018; de 5.750 e 1.430 em 2019 e 1.762 e 375 em 2020. O número de internações nas unidades A e B, respectivamente, foi de 823 e 199 em 2018; de 721 e 188 em 2019; e 325 e 135 em 2020. Houve redução estatisticamente significativa de atendimentos e internações quando o ano de 2020 foi comparado com os anos anteriores nas duas unidades (p<0.0001). O percentual relativo de atendimentos de doenças respiratórias agudas e síndromes gripais foi de 36,7%, 36,5% e 29,2%, respectivamente em 2018, 2019 e 2020 na Unidade A; e 25,9%, 24,2% e 24,5%, respectivamente aos mesmos anos na Unidade B. Concluímos que houve redução estatisticamente significativa no número de atendimentos e internações nas emergências pediátricas avaliadas, sendo o resultado atribuído ao distanciamento social e restrição de mobilidade urbana no período avaliado.

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Chagas disease (CD) is a neglected disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. One-third of infected patients will develop the cardiac form, which may progress to heart failure (HF). However, the factors that determine disease progression remain unclear. Increased angiotensin II activity is a key player in the pathophysiology of HF. A functional polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene is associated with plasma enzyme activity. In CD, ACE inhibitors have beneficial effects supporting the use of this treatment in chagasic cardiomyopathy. METHODS: We evaluated the association of ACE I/D polymorphism with HF, performing a case-control study encompassing 343 patients with positive serology for CD staged as non-cardiomyopathy (stage A; 100), mild (stage B1; 144), and severe (stage C; 99) forms of Chagas heart disease. For ACE I/D genotyping by PCR, groups were compared using unconditional logistic regression analysis and adjusted for nongenetic covariates: age, sex, and trypanocidal treatment. RESULTS: A marginal, but not significant (p=0.06) higher prevalence of ACE I/D polymorphism was observed in patients in stage C compared with patients in stage A. Patients in stage C (CD with HF), were compared with patients in stages A and B1 combined into one group (CD without HF); DD genotype/D carriers were prevalent in the HF patients (OR = 2; CI = 1.013.96; p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: Our results of this cohort study, comprising a population from the Northeast region of Brazil, suggest that ACE I/D polymorphism is more prevalent in the cardiac form of Chagas disease with HF.

Abstract This study compares two mangroves with different land uses in the Jaguaribe River estuary, harboring large shrimp farms, and in the more pristine Pacotí River estuary. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was used to compare the overall health of the forests. Measures of suspended matter (TSS), total (TP), particulate (PartP) and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) in the inflow and outflow waters of tidal channels draining the mangroves were performed during tidal cycles. NDVI varied from 0.65 in the Jaguaribe estuary to 0.85 in the Pacotí, suggesting the impact of shrimp farm effluents on mangrove canopy cover. The shrimp farm influenced site showed 10 times larger absolute ∑P (TP + PartP + SRP) = 1.2-5.2 kg.hr-1) flux than the pristine site (∑P = 0.22 kg.hr-1). Tidal balances showed smaller retentions of the total influx: 28-54%; 44-45%; 38-65% and 8-53% for TSS; TP; SRP; and PartP respectively, in the shrimp farm influenced site to over 93% of the total tidal input of TSS and all P fractions in the pristine mangrove. This suggests that mangrove phosphorus accumulation is decreased in the forest with lower NDVI and limits mangrove’s potential as a natural barrier to the nutrient transport to adjacent estuarine and coastal waters.
