ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate autoinflammatory diseases (AID) according to age at diagnosis and sex, and response to therapy in a large population. Methods: This is a cross-sectional observational study of a Latin American registry using a designed web system for data storage, collected between 2015 and 2018. Any altered findings during follow-up were recorded. The forms were translated into Portuguese and Spanish, including demographic, clinical, laboratory, genetic and treatment characteristics. Results: We included 152 patients, 51.3% male and 75% Caucasian. The median age at disease onset was 2.1 years (0–15.6 years) and median age at diagnosis 6.9 years (0–21.9 years); 111 (73%) were children (0–9 years old), and 41 (27%) were adolescents and young adults (AYA) (10–21 years old). Periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and adenitis syndrome (PFAPA) occurred in 46/152 (30%), chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) in 32/152 (21%), and familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) in 24/152 (15.7%). PFAPA was significantly higher in young children than in AYA (38.7% vs. 7.3%, p<0.001), while CNO were lower (13.5% vs. 41.5%, p<0.001). The frequency of females was significantly higher in CNO (28.4% vs. 14.1%, p=0.031) and lower in FMF (8.1% vs. 23.1%, p=0.011). The most used drugs were glucocorticoids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), and colchicine. Glucocorticoids and colchicine treatment were used in all AID with good to moderate response. However, cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS) seemed unresponsive to glucocorticoids. NSAIDs and methotrexate were the main medications used to treat CNO. Conclusions: Differences among AID patients were observed in the LA population regarding sex and age at disease diagnosis.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar as doenças autoinflamatórias (DAI) de acordo com sexo e idade no momento do diagnóstico e a resposta terapêutica em uma grande população. Métodos: Este é um estudo observacional transversal de um registro latino-americano que usou um sistema de dados coletados entre 2015 e 2018. Quaisquer achados alterados ao longo do acompanhamento foram registrados. Os formulários foram traduzidos para os idiomas português e espanhol, incluindo características demográficas, clínicas, laboratoriais, genéticas e de tratamento. Resultados: Incluímos 152 pacientes, sendo 51,3% do sexo masculino e 75% da raça branca. A média de idade de início da doença foi de 2,1 anos (0–15,6 anos) e a média de idade de diagnóstico 6,9 anos (0–21,9 anos); 111 (73%) eram crianças (0–9 anos) e 41 (27%) adolescentes/adultos jovens (10–21 anos). A síndrome de febre periódica, estomatite aftosa, faringite e adenite (PFAPA) ocorreu em 46/152 (30%), osteomielite não bacteriana crônica (CNO) em 32/152 (21%) e febre familiar do Mediterrâneo (FMF) em 24/152 (15,7%). A PFAPA foi significativamente maior em crianças pequenas (38,7 vs. 7,3%, p<0,001), e a CNO, em adolescentes/adultos jovens (13,5 vs. 41,5%, p<0,001). A frequência do sexo feminino foi significativamente maior na CNO (28,4 vs. 14,1%, p=0,031) e menor na FMF (8,1 vs. 23,1%, p=0,011). Os medicamentos mais utilizados foram glicocorticoides, anti-inflamatórios não esteroidais (AINE) e colchicina. O tratamento com glicocorticoides e colchicina foi usado em todas as DAI com resposta boa a moderada. No entanto, as síndromes periódicas associadas à criopirina (CAPS) pareciam não responder aos glicocorticoides. AINE e metotrexato foram os principais medicamentos utilizados no tratamento da CNO. Conclusões: Diferenças de pacientes com DAI foram observadas na população latino-americana em pacientes agrupados por sexo e idade ao diagnóstico da doença.

Resumo Introdução: O quilotórax congénito consiste na acumulação de linfa no espaço pleural. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar os casos de recém-nascidos com diagnóstico de quilotórax congénito admitidos numa unidade de cuidados intensivos neonatais de nível III entre janeiro de 2014 e dezembro de 2020. Resultados: Foram identificados oito casos de quilotórax congénito, todos com diagnóstico pré-natal. Após confirmação pós-natal do diagnóstico, foi iniciado tratamento de suporte e conservador. Seis casos foram submetidos a ventilação mecânica invasiva, dois foram tratados com surfactante e óxido nítrico inalado, quatro tiveram necessidade de suporte inotrópico e um recebeu oxigenação por membrana extracorporal. Cinco casos foram efetivamente tratados com octreótido. Um recém-nascido com hidrópsia fetal faleceu após o nascimento. Discussão: O prognóstico do quilotórax congénito depende da gravidade do derrame pleural e das anomalias associadas. O tratamento inicial deve ser de suporte e conservador. Embora a utilização de octreótido não seja consensual, demonstrou ser uma terapêutica efetiva e segura nesta amostra de doentes.

Abstract Introduction: Congenital chylothorax (CC) is the accumulation of lymph in the pleural space. The aim of this study was to review the cases of CC diagnosed in newborns admitted to a level III neonatal intensive care unit between January 2014 and December 2020. Results: Eight cases of CC were identified, all with prenatal diagnosis. After postnatal confirmation of the diagnosis, supportive care and conservative therapy were initiated. Six cases underwent mechanical ventilation, two were treated with surfactant and inhaled nitric oxide, four required inotropic support, and one underwent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Five newborns were effectively treated with octreotide. One patient with hydrops fetalis died after birth. Discussion: The prognosis of CC depends on the severity of the effusion and on associated abnormalities. Medical treatment is based on supportive and conservative treatment. Although the use of octreotide is not unanimous, it proved to be an effective and safe adjuvant therapy in these patients.

Abstract Bilinguals and multilinguals commonly encounter words in their multiple languages which share some linguistic aspects. Among those are interlingual homographs, or words that have the exact same orthography in two different languages. The current study examined, through a semantic judgment task in English with ERP recording, how multilinguals (speakers of Brazilian Portuguese, English and German) accessed the meanings of interlingual homographs that belonged to their dominant and non-dominant foreign languages compared to a control group of Brazilian Portuguese-English bilinguals. The findings demonstrated that multilinguals were slower to respond to the English-German interlingual homographs as compared to control stimuli (no homographs). The results also demonstrated that, when the interlingual homographs were semantically related to their targets in the non-target language, there were significantly more errors and a higher RT than in unrelated conditions. Additionally, only the bilinguals presented the typical N400 effect for unrelated conditions, suggesting that the co-activation of the non-target language due to interlingual homographs modulated this ERP in the multilingual group. Our results provide support for the Bilingual Interactive Activation plus model and suggest that literature findings on interference between first and second languages also hold for second and third languages.

Zusammenfassung Zweisprachige und mehrsprachige Menschen stoßen in ihren verschiedenen Sprachen häufig auf Wörter, die einige linguistische Aspekte gemeinsam haben. Dazu gehören interlingualen Homographen, d.h. Wörter, die sich in zwei unterschiedlichen Sprachen durch genau dieselbe Orthographie auszeichnen. In der vorliegenden Studie wurde anhand einer semantischen Beurteilungsaufgabe in Englisch mit ERP-Aufzeichnung untersucht, wie mehrsprachige Personen (Sprecher des brasilianischen Portugiesisch, des Englischen und des Deutschen) im Vergleich zu einer Kontrollgruppe von brasilianischen Portugiesisch-Englisch-Zweisprachigen auf die Bedeutung von interlingualen Homographen zugreifen, die zu ihrer dominanten und nicht-dominanten Fremdsprache gehören. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass mehrsprachige Personen im Vergleich zu den Kontrollstimuli (keine Homographen) langsamer auf die interlingualen Homographen Englisch-Deutsch reagierten. Die Ergebnisse zeigten auch, dass, wenn die interlingualen Homographen semantisch mit ihren Zielen in der Nicht-Zielsprache verwandt waren, signifikant mehr Fehler und eine höhere RT auftraten als in nicht verwandten Bedingungen. Darüber hinaus zeigten nur die Bilingualen den typischen N400-Effekt für nicht verwandte Bedingungen, was darauf hindeutet, dass die Koaktivierung der Nicht-Zielsprache durch interlinguale Homographen diese ERP in der mehrsprachigen Gruppe modulierte. Unsere Ergebnisse stützen das Bilingual Interactive Activation plus Modell und legen nahe, dass die Literaturergebnisse zur Interferenz zwischen Erst- und Zweitsprache auch für die Zweit- und Drittsprache gelten.

Abstract Polyorchidism is a rare condition. Its diagnosis is mostly incidental and its management is still a matter of debate. Herein we report a case of triorchidism and its management. A 6-year-old boy presented with asymptomatic left scrotal swelling. Scrotal ultrasound confirmed hydrocele and described a supernumerary testis on the left side, along with bilateral testicular microlithiasis. Intraoperative examination of the scrotal content confirmed triorchidism: two testicular masses sharing the same epididymis and vas deferens. Preservation of both units was decided and considering the free movement between them and the inherent risk of torsion, a fixation suture was accomplished. The postoperative recovery was uneventful. According to the scarce reports on literature, since testicular drainage into a shared vas deferens was confirmed, no resection was pursued. Considering the increased risk of malignancy, an annual ultrasound follow-up was recommended.

Resumo A poliorquidia é uma condição rara. O seu diagnóstico é sobretudo incidental e a sua orientação clínica é ainda tema de debate. Neste trabalho, os autores reportam um caso de triorquidismo e a sua abordagem clínica. Um rapaz de 6 anos apresentava uma tumefacção escrotal assintomática à esquerda. A ecografia escrotal confirmou a presença de hidrocelo e descreveu um testículo supranumerário à esquerda, bem como microlitíase testicular bilateral. A exploração intra-operatória do conteúdo escrotal confirmou triorquidismo: duas unidades testiculares que partilhavam o mesmo epidídimo e canal deferente. Optou-se pela preservação de ambas as unidades e, considerando o movimento livre entre elas e o risco inerente de torção, foi realizada uma sutura de fixação. O período pós-operatorio não teve intercorrências. De acordo com a escassa literatura disponível, uma vez que se confirmou uma drenagem testicular conjunta para o mesmo canal deferente, não se realizou exérese de nenhum testículo. No entanto, considerando o risco aumentado de malignidade, recomendou-se seguimento anual através de ecografia.

Trata-se de um estudo transversal com uma amostra aleatória de adolescentes de cinco escolas públicas localizadas em um município da zona centro-oeste da Região Metropolitada de São Paulo, Brasil. Informações sobre as características demográficas, socioeconômicas e de uso de drogas foram coletadas por meio de questionários autorreferidos. A amostra foi composta por 1.460 estudantes, sendo 716 (49%) meninos, com idade entre 10 e 19 anos (13,19±2,04 anos). A prevalência de uso de substâncias psicoativas no último mês foi de 51,0% para analgésicos; álcool 48,8%; tabaco 37,3%; tranquilizantes 30,8%; maconha 23,1%; esteroides anabolizantes 22,6%; ecstasy 21,6%; anfetaminas/estimulantes 15,3%; fenciclidina 13,4%; cocaína/crack 12,9%; inalantes/solventes 12,6%; opiáceos 11,5%; alucinógenos 11,4%; e outras drogas não classificadas 16,2%. Alunos do Ensino Fundamental foram mais propensos a consumir tabaco (OR = 2,306; IC95%: 1,733-3,068; p < 0,001), e os estudantes do sexo masculino foram mais propensos a consumir qualquer tipo de substância. Identificou-se um alto uso de substâncias psicoativas entre os participantes deste estudo, com maior prevalência entre os estudantes do sexo masculino.

El objetivo de este estudio fue estimar la prevalencia de consumo de sustancias psicoactivas por adolescentes de escuelas públicas brasileñas. Se trata de un estudio transversal, realizado con una muestra aleatoria de adolescentes de cinco escuelas públicas, ubicadas en una ciudad de la región centro-oeste de la Región Metropolitana de São Paulo, Brasil. La información sobre las características demográficas, socioeconómicas y de consumo de drogas se recabó de cuestionarios autoinformados. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 1.460 estudiantes; 716 (49%) de los cuales eran varones, con edades entre 10 y 19 años (13,19±2,04 años). La prevalencia de consumo de sustancias psicoactivas en el último mes fue: para analgésicos 51%; alcohol 48,8%; tabaco 37,3%; tranquilizantes 30,8%; marihuana 23,1%; esteroides anabólicos 22,6%; éxtasis 21,6%; anfetaminas/estimulantes 15,3%; fenciclidina 13,4%; cocaína/crack 12,9%; inhalantes/disolventes 12,6%; opiáceos 11,5%; alucinógenos 11,4%; y otras drogas no clasificadas 16,2%. Los estudiantes de primaria fueron los más propensos a consumir tabaco (OR = 2,306; IC95%: 1,733-3,068; p < 0,001), y los varones los más propensos a consumir cualquier tipo de sustancia. Se identificó un alto consumo de sustancias psicoactivas entre los participantes, con mayor prevalencia entre los estudiantes del sexo masculino.

This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of psychoactive substance use by adolescents from public schools. This is a cross-sectional study that used a random sample of adolescents from five public schools located in a municipality in the central-west region of the São Paulo Metropolitan Area, Brazil. Information on demographic, socioeconomic, and drug use was collected using self-report questionnaires. The sample consisted of 1,460 students, 716 (49%) males, aged 10-19 years (13.19±2.04 years). The prevalence of psychoactive substance use in the last month was 51% for analgesics; 48.8% for alcohol; 37.3% for tobacco; 30.8% for tranquilizers; 23.1% for marijuana; 22.6% for anabolic steroids; 21.6% for ecstasy; 15.3% for amphetamines/stimulants; 13.4% for phencyclidine; 12.9% for cocaine/crack; 12.6% for inhalants/solvents; 11.5% for opiates; 11.4% for hallucinogens; and 16.2% for other unclassified drugs. Elementary and middle school students were more likely to consume tobacco (OR = 2.306; 95%CI: 1.733-3.068; p < 0.001), and male students were more likely to consume any type of substance. We identified a high use of psychoactive substances among this study participants, with a higher prevalence among male students.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Since the reduction of healthcare-associated infections has been a focus for quality patient care, this study aimed to evaluate the surgical site infection rate of children who underwent cardiovascular surgery after implementation of ozonized water system for hand and body hygiene allied to previously implemented preventive measures. Methods: Two uniformly comparable groups of pediatric patients underwent cardiovascular surgery. Group A (187) patients were operated prior to installation of ozonized water system (March 1 to August 31, 2019), and group B (214) patients were operated after installation of ozonized water system (October 1, 2019, to March 31, 2020). Ozonized water was used for professional hand hygiene and patient body hygiene. Results: There was statistical significance for surgical site infection reduction in group B (P=0.0289), with a relative risk of 0.560 (95% confidence interval = 0.298 to 0.920), inferring the risk of being diagnosed with surgical site infections in group B was 44% less than in group A. There was no statistical significance regarding mechanical ventilation time (P=0.1998) or mortality (P=0.4457). Conclusion: Ozonized water for professional hand hygiene and patient body hygiene was an adjuvant combined with traditional preventive methods to reduce the risk of surgical site infection, although no impact on hospital stay or mortality was observed.

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of oral and maxillofacial pathology laboratories (OMPLs) in Brazilian public universities to the diagnosis of lip, oral cavity, and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). A cross-sectional study was performed using biopsy records from a consortium of sixteen public OMPLs from all regions of Brazil (North, Northeast, Central-West, Southeast, and South). Clinical and demographic data of patients diagnosed with lip, oral cavity, and oropharyngeal SCC between 2010 and 2019 were collected from the patients’ histopathological records. Of the 120,010 oral and maxillofacial biopsies (2010-2019), 6.9% (8,321 cases) were diagnosed as lip (0.8%, 951 cases), oral cavity (4.9%, 5,971 cases), and oropharyngeal (1.2%, 1,399 cases) SCCs. Most cases were from Brazil’s Southeast (64.5%), where six of the OMPLs analyzed are located. The predominant profile of patients with lip and oral cavity SCC was Caucasian men, with a mean age over 60 years, low schooling level, and a previous history of heavy tobacco consumption. In the oropharyngeal group, the majority were non-Caucasian men, with a mean age under 60 years, had a low education level, and were former/current tobacco and alcohol users. According to data from the Brazilian National Cancer Institute, approximately 9.9% of the total lip, oral cavity, and oropharyngeal SCCs reported over the last decade in Brazil may have been diagnosed at the OMPLs included in the current study. Therefore, this data confirms the contribution of public OMPLs with respect to the important diagnostic support they provide to the oral healthcare services extended by the Brazilian Public Health System.

Abstract Given the atypical scenario caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in recent years and the changes it brought to daily routines, particular attention should be paid to the mental health of children and adolescents. During this period, child and adolescent psychiatrists faced challenges in their clinical practice and had to adjust to the new reality. There was a significant increase in consultation referrals due to eating disorders, self-harm behaviors, and anxiety symptoms. This paper describes the experience of the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry of Centro Materno-Infantil do Norte, Centro Hospitalar Universitário do Porto, in the outpatient, inpatient, and Emergency Room care of children and adolescents in different age groups during this period. It also highlights the need for special attention to the psycho-affective development of these groups and to the role of family and school. Overall, the pandemic had a number of detrimental effects on children and adolescents, but also on their families. At this time, it is still difficult to ascertain what long-term consequences it will have, particularly in the first years of life. Joint efforts should be employed by health and community systems to create adequate conditions for assessing the mental health of these groups and developing appropriate support and prevention strategies.

Resumo A situação pandémica vivida nos últimos anos e as alterações que esta trouxe às rotinas diárias salientou a necessidade de prestar particular atenção à saúde mental da população em geral e das crianças e adolescentes em particular. Durante este período, os psiquiatras da infância e da adolescência enfrentaram desafios importantes na sua prática clínica e tiveram de se adaptar à nova realidade. A procura desta especialidade médica foi variando ao longo da pandemia, tendo sido notório o incremento de consultas motivadas por perturbações do comportamento alimentar, comportamentos autolesivos e queixas de ansiedade. Este artigo descreve a experiência do Departamento de Psiquiatria da Infância e da Adolescência do Centro Materno-Infantil do Norte, Centro Hospitalar Universitário do Porto, no atendimento em contexto de ambulatório, internamento e urgência de doentes pediátricos, em diferentes faixas etárias, durante o período da pandemia. Adicionalmente, salienta a necessidade de prestar especial atenção ao desenvolvimento psicoafectivo destes grupos etários e ao papel da família e da escola neste contexto. Globalmente, a pandemia teve vários efeitos negativos nas crianças e adolescentes, mas também nas suas famílias. Atualmente, é ainda difícil determinar que efeitos terá a longo prazo, especialmente nos primeiros anos de vida. No entanto, é inegável a necessidade de um esforço concertado dos sistemas de saúde e comunitários para o desenvolvimento de condições adequadas para a avaliação da saúde mental destes grupos e respetivas estratégias de apoio e prevenção.

Resumo A exposição a fatores de risco psicossocial em ambientes laborais é cada vez mais experienciada pelos trabalhadores, face à pressão em responder às exigências laborais, aos recursos pessoais disponíveis e ao contexto global vivenciado e em constante mutação. Tornando urgente o diagnóstico e intervenção psicossocial, de forma sistémica, sistemática e fundamentada, por forma à promoção de ambientes de trabalho saudáveis, inclusivos e sustentáveis. A utilização de metodologias de gestão de riscos psicossociais que possam ser integradas nas práticas torna-se uma mais-valia quer para as organizações quer para os trabalhadores, potenciando as intervenções e o seu impacto. A utilização de referenciais normativos internacionais permite a fundamentação e o desenho de sistemas de gestão de riscos psicossociais de forma integrada e alinhada com os sistemas de gestão. Permitindo o recurso a um léxico conhecido, aliado a uma abordagem já testada e implementadas noutras áreas, como sejam a gestão da qualidade (ISO 9001; ISO 17025) ou a gestão de sistemas integrados de saúde e segurança (ISO 45001, ISO 45003). O presente trabalho tem como principal objetivo a apresentação, sistematização e discussão de uma metodologia de gestão, avaliação e promoção da saúde no trabalho baseado na gestão de riscos psicossociais alicerçado na prática e em modelos de gestão baseados em referenciais normativos.

Abstract Exposure to psychosocial risk factors in working environments is increasingly experienced by workers, given the pressure to respond to work demands, the personal resources available and the ever-changing global context. This makes psychosocial diagnosis and intervention urgent, in a systemic, systematic and reasoned way, in order to promote healthy, inclusive and sustainable work environments. The use of psychosocial risk management methodologies that can be integrated into practices becomes an added value for both organisations and workers, enhancing interventions and their impact. The use of international normative references allows the rationale and design of psychosocial risks management systems to be integrated and aligned with other management systems. It allows the use of a known lexicon, combined with an approach already tested and implemented in other areas, such as quality management (ISO 9001; ISO 17025) or health and safety management systems (ISO 45001, ISO 45003). The main objective of this work is to present, systematise and discuss a methodology for the management, assessment and promotion of occupational health based on psychosocial risk management, founded on practice and on management models based on normative references.

Resumo Objetivo Comparar a violência sexual sofrida por vítimas no início e no final da adolescência, as reações desencadeadas após a agressão, e o cuidado de saúde dispensado. Métodos Estudo retrospectivo, em que foram revisados os prontuários de 521 mulheres adolescentes atendidas por equipe multiprofissional em hospital de referência em Campinas, São Paulo, Brasil. As variáveis foram sociodemográficas, e aquelas relativas às características da violência, ao atendimento de emergência, e às reações físicas e psicológicas observadas durante o seguimento nos grupos de adolescentes de idade precoce (10a 14 anos) e tardia (15 a 18 anos). Utilizamos os testes do Qui-quadrado/Exato de Fisher, Mann-Whitney e Kruskal-Wallis para comparar os grupos; adotamos o nível de significância de 5%. Resultados O grupo precoce (n= 242) continha maior número de estudantes (p< 0,001), que sofreram mais agressões diurnas (p= 0,031), em suas residências (p< 0,001), por agressor conhecido (p< 0,001), tiveram maior necessidade de proteção legal (p= 0,001), e demoraram mais a procurar atendimento (p= 0,048). Sentimentos de culpa, vergonha e a percepção da violência foram similares entre os grupos. No grupo tardio (n= 279) houve maior consumo de álcool durante a agressão (p= 0,005); as adolescentes receberam significativamente mais tratamentos de profilaxia; relataram mais sintomas físicos (p= 0,033), distúrbios do sono (p= 0,003), sintomas de ansiedade (p= 0,045), e sentimentos de angústia (p= 0,011); e receberam mais prescrições de psicotrópicos (p= 0,005). Apenas 52% completaram o seguimento de 6 meses, sem diferenças entre os grupos. Conclusão Os grupos apresentaram diferenças nas características da violência; as adolescentes precoces chegaram mais tardiamente ao serviço, e o grupo tardio apresentou maior sintomatologia e piora psicológica no seguimento. São necessárias medidas de prevenção e cuidados específicos voltados a essa população.

Abstract Objective To compare the sexual violence suffered by women in early and late adolescence, the reactions triggered after the aggression, and the care provided. Methods A retrospective study in which we reviewed the medical records of 521 female adolescents treated by a multidisciplinary team at a reference hospital in the city of Campinas, state of São Paulo, Brazil. We analyzed sociodemographic variables, and those pertainin to the characteristics of the episodes of violence, the emergency care, and the physical and psychological reactions observed during the follow-up. For the analysis, the sample was divided into groups of early (10 to 14 years) and late (15 to 18 years) adolescence. We used the Chi-squared/Fisher Exact, Mann-Whitney, and Kruskal-Wallis tests to compare the groups; the level of significance adopted was 5%. Results The early group (n= 242) contained more adolescents who were enrolled in school (p< 0.001), suffered more daytime aggressions (p= 0.031), in their residences (p< 0.001), by an aggressor with whom they were acquainted (p< 0.001), had greater need of legal protection (p= 0.001), and took longer to seek care (p= 0.048). Feelings of guilt, shame, and the perception of violence were similar between the groups. In the late group (n= 279), there was greater consumption of alcohol during the aggression (p= 0,005); they received significantly more prophylaxis treatments; reported more physical symptoms (p= 0.033), sleep disorders (p= 0.003), symptoms of anxiety (p= 0.045), and feelings of anguish (p= 0.011); and had more prescriptions of psychotropics (p= 0.005). Only 52% completed the 6-month follow-up, with no differences between the groups. Conclusion The age groups showed differences in the characteristics of the episodes of violence; early adolescents took longer to seek help, and the late group presented more intense symptoms and psychological worsening during the follow-up. Measures of prevention and specific care aimed at this population are needed.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a associação entre tempo de sono e força de preensão manual em adolescentes da Coorte de Nascimentos de São Luís 1997/1998. Estudo transversal aninhado a um estudo de coorte de nascimentos. Mil duzentos e sessenta e nove indivíduos (18 e 19 anos) usaram um acelerômetro Actigraph® GTX3 + em seu pulso 24 horas/dia por sete dias consecutivos. A força de preensão manual foi medida por meio de um dinamômetro digital de mão. Usou-se gráficos acíclicos direcionados (DAG) para identificar variáveis de confusão. A amostra de adolescentes foi composta em sua maioria por homens, de cor da pele parda, classe econômica C, que não trabalhava, não consumiam álcool, não fumavam e nunca usaram drogas. O valor médio da força de preensão manual foi de 28,2 (±9,3) kgf, e a média do tempo de sono foi de seis (±1,0) horas por dia. A análise bruta mostrou associação entre tempo de sono e força muscular. O aumento de uma hora de sono reduziu a força de preensão manual em 1,95 kgf (IC95%:-2,51;-1,39). No entanto, após o ajuste para fatores de confusão, a associação não foi mantida (β:-0,07; IC95%:-0,48;0,36). O tempo de sono não foi associado à força de preensão manual em adolescentes de São Luís.

Abstract This article aims to analyze the association between sleep time and handgrip strength in adolescents belonging to the 1997/1998 São Luís Birth Cohort. This was a cross-sectional study nested in a birth cohort study. One thousand two hundred sixty-nine individuals (18 and 19 years) wore an Actigraph® GTX3+ accelerometer on their wrist 24 hr/day for 7 consecutive days. Handgrip strength was measured using a digital hand dynamometer. We used directed acyclic graphs (DAG) to identify confounding variables. This sample of adolescents was mostly composed of men, with brown skin color, economic class C, which did not work, did not consume alcohol, did not smoke, and never used drugs. The mean value of handgrip strength was 28.2 (±9.3) kgf, and the mean of sleep time was 6 (±1.0) hours per day. The crude analysis showed an association between sleep time and muscle strength. An increase of one hour of sleep reduced the handgrip strength by 1.95 kgf (95%CI:-2.51;-1.39). However, after adjustment for confounders, the association was not maintained (β:-0.07; 95%CI:-0.48;0.36). Sleep time is not associated with handgrip strength in adolescents in São Luís.

ABSTRACT Background: Haiti is one of the Caribbean countries where malaria persists. More than 99% of malaria cases are caused by Plasmodium falciparum, the main vector being the mosquito Anopheles albimanus. In this paper, we describe the epidemiological profile of malaria in Haiti between 2009 and 2018. Methods We analyzed information on cases reported by the Ministry of Health of Haiti and the World Health Organization (WHO). Results: Between 2009 and 2018, 232,479 malaria cases were reported by the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP); an increase in the incidence of malaria in the country in 2010, followed by a decrease in 2011, was primarily observed. Due to recent efforts to reduce malaria by 2020, its incidence declined from 60,130 cases in 2010 to 8,978 cases in 2018. Controversially, in terms of the number of reported cases, the MSPP and WHO report conflicting data. However, the results from both datasets present the same trend in Haiti from 2009 to 2018. The results also illustrate the endemicity of the disease throughout Haiti, both in rural and urban areas, especially along the coast. Conclusions: This study emphasizes the need to promote official data collection and analyses, as well as the application of epidemiological surveillance of malaria at the municipal level, for a better understanding of the real impact of malaria on the Haitian population and to create more appropriate interventions.
