Introdução O estudo examina o comportamento de citação de pesquisadores de programas de pós-graduação brasileiros na área de Ciências Sociais, especificamente nas subáreas de Antropologia, Ciência Política, Relações Internacionais e Sociologia. O principal objetivo é entender os fatores que influenciam a seleção de referências e as práticas empregadas na busca e seleção de materiais bibliográficos. Métodos Os dados foram coletados por meio de um survey, onde os participantes forneceram percepções sobre os fatores que influenciam a escolha de referências e seus hábitos de busca e seleção bibliográfica. A amostra foi selecionada com o apoio de associações profissionais da área, resultando em 708 respostas completas. O survey capturou informações demográficas, incluindo subárea, status acadêmico, gênero, país de formação e unidade federativa de residência. Resultados A maioria dos respondentes era da área de Ciência Política, eram alunos, do sexo masculino, com formação em instituições brasileiras e residentes na região Sudeste, especialmente em São Paulo. As análises de regressão apresentaram valores de R² muito baixos, indicando que as características da amostra explicam muito pouco do comportamento de citação relatado. Em relação aos hábitos de busca de documentos, os respondentes predominantemente utilizavam o Google Scholar e recorriam a sites piratas quando os documentos não estavam acessíveis gratuitamente. A revisão sistemática foi o método de revisão da literatura mais conhecido entre os participantes. Discussão Os resultados sugerem que, apesar das diversas características demográficas dos respondentes, esses fatores têm poder explicativo mínimo sobre o comportamento de citação. A preferência pelo Google Scholar e o uso de sites piratas destacam questões de acessibilidade aos recursos acadêmicos. O conhecimento sobre revisões sistemáticas aponta para uma tendência crescente de métodos estruturados de revisão da literatura nas ciências sociais, mas isso deve ser visto com cautela. Conclusão Este estudo fornece um panorama do comportamento de citação entre pesquisadores de pós-graduação brasileiros nas ciências sociais. Pesquisas adicionais são necessárias para explorar as razões subjacentes a esses comportamentos e como eles podem influenciar a qualidade e a diversidade das citações acadêmicas nessas áreas.

Introduction The study examines the citation behavior of researchers from Brazilian postgraduate programs in the Social Sciences, specifically within the subfields of Anthropology, Political Science, International Relations, and Sociology. The primary objective is to understand the factors influencing reference selection and the practices employed in searching and selecting bibliographic materials. Methods Data were collected through a survey, where participants provided insights into the factors influencing their reference choices and their bibliographic search and selection habits. The sample was chosen with the support of professional associations in the field, resulting in 708 complete responses. The survey captured demographic information, including subfield, academic status, gender, country of education, and state of residence. Results The majority of respondents were from Political Science, were students, male, educated at Brazilian institutions, and resided in the Southeast region, particularly São Paulo. The regression analyses showed very low R² values, indicating that the sample characteristics explain very little of the reported citation behavior. Regarding document search habits, respondents predominantly used Google Scholar and resorted to pirate websites when documents were not freely accessible. The systematic review was the most well-known method of literature review among participants. Discussion The results suggest that despite the diverse demographic characteristics of the respondents, these factors have minimal explanatory power regarding citation behavior. The preference for Google Scholar and the use of pirate websites highlight accessibility issues within academic resources. The knowledge of systematic reviews points to a growing trend toward structured literature review methods in the social sciences, but this should be viewed with caution. Conclusion This study provides a snapshot of the citation behavior among Brazilian postgraduate researchers in the social sciences. Further research is needed to explore the underlying reasons behind these behaviors and how they might influence the quality and diversity of academic citations in these fields.

Abstract Objective To understand the meaning of chronic pelvic pain from the perspective of diagnosed women and analyze the determining factors for outpatient discharge. Methods This is qualitative research, using strategic social research as its theoretical methodological framework. 14 women participated in the study, seven of whom were undergoing outpatient follow-up and seven who were discharged from the gynecology outpatient clinic of a university hospital in the city of Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with guiding questions. The analysis of results was based on the thematic modality of content analysis, according to Bardin. Results Data analysis culminated in three thematic categories: “Before the pain”, “Living with the pain” and “Treating the pain”. Parental emotional abandonment, grief, disagreement with parents and childhood difficulties were prominent before the onset of pain. The onset of pain was related to the birth of children, menarche, surgeries and family conflicts. Living with pain promoted great suffering, fear, harm to relationships and work activity. The improvement in emotional state and financial conditions, the resolution of marital conflicts, the opportunity to express oneself and talk to other patients, the use of medication and some surgical procedures were decisive for pain control and outpatient discharge. Conclusion Chronic pelvic pain was related to socioeconomic, emotional and physical suffering. The resolution of these aspects contributed to outpatient discharge. discharge framework 1 study followup follow up Goiânia Goiás Brazil Semistructured Semi structured questions Bardin categories Before pain, , Treating . abandonment grief children menarche conflicts suffering fear activity conditions patients socioeconomic

RESUMO: A ressonância magnética (RM) tem papel importante na detecção e caracterização das lesões meníngeas, auxiliando um possível diagnóstico clínico ante mortem de doenças intracranianas. O realce meníngeo tem sido descrito como um sinal de múltiplas enfermidades do sistema nervoso central (SNC). O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o realce meníngeo nas RM do encéfalo de cães e associá-las às diferentes doenças do SNC. Foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo de 22 cães submetidos ao exame de RM, com o histórico de sinais clínicos de doença neurológica como critério de inclusão para seleção destes animais ao estudo. Os dados foram divididos de acordo com a idade e sexo dos animais e os critérios de análise foram, quanto às enfermidades do SNC encontradas, local, padrão e definição do realce da meninge. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que, dentre as doenças observadas, a encefalite e a neoplasia ocorrem com maior frequência, ambas com 22,7% de suspeitas clínicas. O local de maior incidência foi determinado como sendo o parietal/temporal/frontal, com 27,3% de prevalência, seguido do frontal com 18,2%. Com relação ao padrão da meninge, foi verificado que houve 90,9% mais realce na região pial e dural conjuntamente do que ao compará-las individualmente. Já ao avaliar a definição do realce meníngeo, o mais observado foi o realce discreto (59,1%). O presente estudo possibilitou a obtenção de informações específicas e maior compreensão das características do realce meningeal, incluindo dois padrões de realce meníngeo (pial e dural) e a identificação da associação dos valores nas diferentes doenças do SNC em cães.

ABSTRACT: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in detecting and characterizing meningeal lesions, thus assisting in a possible ante mortem clinical diagnosis of intracranial diseases. Meningeal enhancement has been described as a sign of multiple central nervous system (CNS) disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate meningeal enhancement on MRI of the brain of dogs and to associate them with different CNS diseases. A retrospective study of 22 dogs submitted to MRI was carried out, with a history of clinical signs of neurological diseases as an inclusion criterion for selecting these animals for the study. The data were divided according to the age and sex of the animals, and the analysis criteria were regarding the CNS diseases found, location, pattern and definition of meningeal enhancement. The results demonstrate that encephalitis and neoplasia occur more frequently among the diseases observed, with 22.7% of clinical suspicions. The site with the highest incidence was the parietal/temporal/frontal, with a 27.3% prevalence, followed by the frontal, with 18.2%. Regarding the meningeal pattern, it was found that there was 90.9% more enhancement in the pial and dural regions together than when comparing them individually. When evaluating the definition of meningeal enhancement, slight enhancement was most observed (59.1%). The present study made it possible to obtain specific information and better understand the characteristics of meningeal enhancement, including two patterns of meningeal enhancement (pial and dural) and identifying the association of values in different CNS diseases in dogs.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have shown positive renal outcomes in diabetic patients. There is also emerging evidence in non-diabetic patients. This review was conducted to analyse the renal outcomes of SGLT2i in patients without diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: A systematic review was performed in a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) compliant manner. We included only randomized trials that examined the effect of SGLT2i on renal outcomes in non-diabetic patients. Results: A total of ten randomized trials were included with a combined cohort of 26 298 patients. There was a tendency for lesser risk of adverse renal outcomes in heart failure (HF) patients with reduced ejection fraction (EF) (hazard ratio (HR) 0.50-0.71). Lesser effect on adverse renal outcomes was seen in HF patients with preserved EF (HR 0.95). For both preserved and reduced EF HF, there was a statistically significant reduction in the rate of decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (p<0.001). On a short follow-up, there was a significant reversible reduction in GFR. In the long term, chronic kidney disease (CKD) proteinuric patients had a statistically significant lesser risk of adverse renal outcomes (p<0.001) and a significant reduction in albuminuria (p=0.0016). CKD patients, including non-proteinuric, had a significant reduction in the rate of kidney disease progression (HR = 0.71). Conclusion: Treatment with SGLT2i significantly reduces the rate of kidney disease progression in CKD non-diabetic patients with eGFR ≥ 20 mL/min/1.73 m2. Benefit seems greater in proteinuric patients. Benefit for eGFR < 20 mL/min/1.73 m2, dialysis and kidney transplant patients is yet to be defined.

ABSTRACT Background: The long-term effects of schistosomiasis on the glomerulus may contribute to the development of chronic kidney disease. This study aimed to investigate baseline Schistosoma mansoni-Circulating Anodic Antigen (CAA) levels and their association with kidney biomarkers related to podocyte injury and inflammation in long-term follow-up after praziquantel (PZQ) treatment. Methods: Schistosoma infection was diagnosed by detecting CAA in urine using a quantitative assay based on lateral flow using luminescent up-converting phosphor reporter particles. A cutoff threshold of 0.1 pg/mL CAA was used to diagnose Schistosoma infection (baseline) in a low-prevalence area in Ceará, Northeast, Brazil. Two groups were included: CAA-positive and CAA-negative individuals, both of which received a single dose of PZQ at baseline. Urinary samples from 55 individuals were evaluated before (baseline) and at 1, 2, and 3 years after PZQ treatment. At all time points, kidney biomarkers were quantified in urine and adjusted for urinary creatinine levels. Results: CAA-positive patients had increased baseline albuminuria and proteinuria and showed greater associations between kidney biomarkers. CAA levels correlated only with Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) (podocyte injury) levels. Increasing trends were observed for malondialdehyde (oxidative stress), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (inflammation marker), and VEGF. In the follow-up analysis, no relevant differences were observed in kidney biomarkers between the groups and different periods. Conclusions: S. mansoni-infected individuals presented subclinical signs of glomerular damage that may reflect podocyte injury. However, no causal effect on long-term renal function was observed after PZQ treatment.

Abstract The segment of isotonic beverages has been expanding its market, introducing new flavors and meeting the growing demand for new products. Cajuína, a drink for which Piaui holds a geographical indication certificate, was used in the development of a new sports drink. This work aimed to evaluate the shelf life of isotonic cajuína beverages conditioned at room temperature and under refrigeration, by analyzing the physicochemical, sensorial, and microbiological parameters. The analyzed samples had stable pH (< 3.0), titratable total acidity (0.18 g/100 mL), and °Brix (6.1 °Brix), and presented an acceptable soluble solids total/total titratable acidity (SST/ATT) ratio during storage. There was a vitamin C reduction of 83.3% and 75.27% from the initial amount in the beverage samples stored at room temperature and under refrigeration, respectively. Sensory analysis using the 9-point hedonic scale indicated good acceptance of the sports drink, and good buying intention. The sports drink also demonstrated high microbiological quality, with the absence of total coliforms, E. coli, molds, yeasts and Salmonella sp. The data from the stability study indicated that the isotonic cajuína drink retains its quality and safety, and can thus be consumed, for up to 150 days of storage.

ABSTRACT Dialysate sodium prescription is often standardized. In some patients, this can be hypernatremic compared to serum sodium, causing a positive sodium balance at the end of treatment that will contribute to increased extracellular volume and interdialytic weight gain. A prospective study was carried out to monitor and compare the clinical implications between different prescriptions of sodium dialysate (isonatremic versus hyponatremic hemodialysis). For that purpose, we included hemodialysis patients in treatment for at least 9 months. The individual sodium setpoint was determined through the median of pre-dialysis sodium measurements, carried out for 6 treatments. The prescribed dialysate sodium was equal to the setpoint (isonatremic period) for 4 weeks and then 2 meq/L inferior to the setpoint (hyponatremic period) for another 4 weeks. The main outcome was interdialytic weight gain. Secondary outcomes were ultrafiltration rate, blood pressure at the beginning of treatment, intradialytic complications, and qualitative assessment of symptoms. Twenty patients were included. Pre-dialysis serum sodium assessments in both periods tended to be patient specific with a stable value. The interdialytic weight gain was lower in the hyponatremic period (1.83±0.50 kg versus 2.04±0.58 kg) but without statistical significance (p value=0.387). The same trend was found in mean ultrafiltration and blood pressure. Dialysis complications were low in both periods. The percentage of cramps and hypotension requiring intervention was higher in the hyponatremic period with no statistically significant differences. Concerning thirst, there was a symptomatic improvement with sodium customization. This improvement was even more significant in the hyponatremic period. This study allowed us to reinforce the existence of a “sodium setpoint” for each patient and the importance of an individualized dialysis prescription. Our results suggest the safety of using isonatremic hemodialysis with improving patients’ symptoms. Regarding hyponatremic hemodialysis, despite being beneficial, it seemed to be associated with a higher number of complications.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCAs) are crucial in the pathogenesis of ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis. Although highly specific for this disease, these antibodies can appear in healthy individuals or occur in other settings such as malignance, other inflammatory disease, or drugs. Renal biopsy remains essential for diagnosis and as a prognostic tool. Failing to perform a biopsy risks an incomplete evaluation or misdiagnosis. Clinical case: A 60-year-old male known to have had previous normal kidney function was admitted with generalized pitting edema, nonpruritic erythematous rash, and decreased urine output. He had been recently started on clozapine for depression. Laboratory tests revealed nephrotic syndrome with massive proteinuria (11g/day), hematuria and elevated serum creatinine that reached a maximum of 4.9 mg/dl. The only positive finding was a high titer of myeloperoxidase (MPO) ANCA antibody (111 UI/ml). Clozapine was discontinued, and he was started on conservative management of the nephrotic syndrome. The rash disappeared within one week. Kidney biopsy showed cellular variant focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) with mild acute tubular injury. The patient was treated with oral prednisolone with complete remission. Repeat MPO-ANCA was negative after one month. Discussion: We present a challenging case that highlights the importance of kidney biopsy for accurate diagnosis with major impact on treatment and prognosis. This case also underlines the presentation and evolution of FSGS cellular variant, a rare and poorly understood disease. The relationship between skin rash with high MPO titer and the administration of clozapine with clinical remission after its discontinuation favors the hypothesis of drug associated ANCA-vasculitis.

Resumo A formação profissional em Serviço Social demanda a interação com inúmeros fatores da vida cotidiana, sendo a pesquisa científica um dos meios adotados para conhecê-los. Partindo desse pressuposto, objetivamos problematizar o lugar da pesquisa científica em nossa formação profissional, bem como apontar alguns desafios inerentes à esta atividade teórico-prática evidenciando a sua importância no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. A discussão está estruturada em uma breve introdução; depois trataremos sobre o sentido da pesquisa científica; em seguida problematizaremos a importância desta na formação profissional em Serviço Social; por fim, apontaremos algumas reflexões sobre a temática em tela. Fundamentando-se em uma revisão de literatura, sob a luz da teoria social crítica, consideramos que a dimensão investigativa em meio às contradições do sistema econômico e o culto aos estigmas sociais e culturais, é de ímpar relevância para uma profissão comprometida com a ruptura de análises discriminatórias e a construção de uma sociedade humanamente emancipada.

Abstract Professional education in social work entails interaction with many factors of daily life, and scientific research is a way to learn about these factors. Based on this assumption, this study discusses the position of theoretical and practical scientific research regarding professional education, presenting its inherent challenges and highlighting its importance in the teaching-learning process. The discussion is organized in a brief introduction, followed by a debate on the meaning of scientific research. The article reflects on the importance of scientific research in the professional education of social workers and provides final considerations and reflections. Supported by a literature review and guided by the critical social theory, the study recognizes the relevance of the investigative dimension amidst the contradictions of the economic system and the cult of social and cultural stigmas. This dimension is crucial to developing a profession committed to the rupture of discriminatory analyzes and the construction of a humanly emancipated society.

Resumo Introdução A crescente utilização de recursos de terapia intensiva neonatal para manter a vida dos recém-nascidos enfermos pode gerar estímulos dolorosos, causando sofrimento a eles. Porém, nem sempre essa dor é percebida pelos profissionais envolvidos no cuidado, embora já exista um interesse crescente por parte deles nesse sentido. Objetivo Avaliar a percepção de dor do recém-nascido por profissionais de saúde que atuam em unidade neonatal. Método Pesquisa qualitativa do tipo exploratória, realizada em um hospital de referência em cuidado neonatal de uma capital do Nordeste. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com todos os profissionais que atuavam na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal e/ou na Unidade de Cuidados Intermediários em cuidado direto com o recém-nascido. Utilizou-se da análise de conteúdo na modalidade temática, e os resultados foram agrupados em categorias. Resultados Foram realizadas 36 entrevistas. Os profissionais entrevistados reconheceram que a dor neonatal foi historicamente negligenciada e que hoje as evidências científicas comprovam sua existência. Foram identificadas carência na formação no tema e fragilidade na aplicação do conhecimento na prática. Conclusão Os profissionais têm conhecimento sobre a dor neonatal, entretanto quase não utilizam os parâmetros fisiológicos e possuem pouco conhecimento sobre a literatura científica atual. O principal desafio diz respeito à necessidade de uso sistemático de escalas que garantam a avaliação da dor.

Abstract Background The increasing use of neonatal intensive care resources to maintain the lives of sick infants can generate painful stimuli and cause distress for them. However, this pain is not always perceived by the professionals involved in the care, although there is already an increasing interest on the part of the professionals involved in care. Objective To evaluate the perception of health professionals, who works in a neonatal unit related to newborn pain. Method Qualitative research of the exploratory type was carried out in a reference hospital in neonatal care of a capital of the Northeast. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with all professionals working in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and / or Intermediate Care Unit in direct care of the newborn. Content Analysis was used in the thematic modality and the results were grouped into categories. Results 36 interviews were conducted. The professionals interviewed acknowledged that neonatal pain was historically neglected and that scientific evidence today confirms its existence. It was identified lack in the training in the theme and fragility in the application of the knowledge in the practice. Conclusion The professionals have knowledge about neonatal pain; however they still use little physiological parameters and have little knowledge of current scientific literature. The main challenge is the need for systematic use of scales that guarantee the evaluation of pain.
