OBJECTIVE: To assess the possible factors that influence sleep quality in adolescents with and without chronic immunosuppressive conditions quarantined during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 305 adolescents with chronic immunocompromised conditions and 82 healthy adolescents. Online surveys were completed, which included questions on socio-demographic data and self-rated healthcare routine during COVID-19 quarantine and the following validated questionnaires: the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 (PedsQL4.0), and Pediatric Outcome Data Collection Instrument (PODCI). RESULTS: The median current age [14 (10-18) vs. 15 (10-18) years, p=0.847] and frequency of female sex (62% vs. 58%, p=0.571) were similar in adolescents with chronic conditions compared with healthy adolescents. The frequency of poor sleep quality was similar in both groups (38% vs. 48%, p=0.118). Logistic regression analysis, including both healthy adolescents and adolescents with chronic conditions (n=387), demonstrated that self-reported increase in screen time (odds ratio [OR] 3.0; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.3-6.8; p=0.008) and intrafamilial violence report (OR 2.1; 95% CI 1.2-3.5; p=0.008) were independently associated with poor sleep quality in these adolescents. However, the PODCI global function score was associated with a lower OR for poor sleep quality (OR 0.97; 95% CI 0.94-0.99; p=0.001). Further logistic regression, including only adolescents with chronic conditions (n=305), demonstrated that self-reported increase in screen time (OR 3.1; 95% CI 1.4-6.8; p=0.006) and intrafamilial violence report (OR 2.0; 95% CI 1.2-3.4; p=0.011) remained independently associated with poor quality of sleep, whereas a lower PODCI global function score was associated with a lower OR for sleep quality (OR 0.96; 95% CI 0.94-0.98; p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Self-reported increases in screen time and intrafamilial violence report impacted sleep quality in both healthy adolescents and those with chronic conditions. Decreased health-related quality of life was observed in adolescents with poor sleep quality.

OBJECTIVES: To prospectively evaluate demographic, anthropometric and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in pediatric patients with laboratory-confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) METHODS: This was a longitudinal observational study of surviving pediatric post-COVID-19 patients (n=53) and pediatric subjects without laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 included as controls (n=52) was performed. RESULTS: The median duration between COVID-19 diagnosis (n=53) and follow-up was 4.4 months (0.8-10.7). Twenty-three of 53 (43%) patients reported at least one persistent symptom at the longitudinal follow-up visit and 12/53 (23%) had long COVID-19, with at least one symptom lasting for >12 weeks. The most frequently reported symptoms at the longitudinal follow-up visit were headache (19%), severe recurrent headache (9%), tiredness (9%), dyspnea (8%), and concentration difficulty (4%). At the longitudinal follow-up visit, the frequencies of anemia (11% versus 0%, p=0.030), lymphopenia (42% versus 18%, p=0.020), C-reactive protein level of >30 mg/L (35% versus 0%, p=0.0001), and D-dimer level of >1000 ng/mL (43% versus 6%, p=0.0004) significantly reduced compared with baseline values. Chest X-ray abnormalities (11% versus 2%, p=0.178) and cardiac alterations on echocardiogram (33% versus 22%, p=0.462) were similar at both visits. Comparison of characteristic data between patients with COVID-19 at the longitudinal follow-up visit and controls showed similar age (p=0.962), proportion of male sex (p=0.907), ethnicity (p=0.566), family minimum monthly wage (p=0.664), body mass index (p=0.601), and pediatric pre-existing chronic conditions (p=1.000). The Pediatric Quality of Live Inventory 4.0 scores, median physical score (69 [0-100] versus 81 [34-100], p=0.012), and school score (60 [15-100] versus 70 [15-95], p=0.028) were significantly lower in pediatric patients with COVID-19 at the longitudinal follow-up visit than in controls. CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric patients with COVID-19 showed a longitudinal impact on HRQoL parameters, particularly in physical/school domains, reinforcing the need for a prospective multidisciplinary approach for these patients. These data highlight the importance of closer monitoring of children and adolescents by the clinical team after COVID-19.

During biodiesel storage, chemical reactions may occur, producing sludges. The aim of this study was to characterize the chemical and microbial composition of the sludge found in a biodiesel storage tank. The material was collected in a biodiesel production plant. The sludge chemical characterization was performed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS), gas chromatography (GC), and the microbial investigation used culture-dependent techniques. The deteriogenic potential of the native microbial community was evaluated using the sludge as a microbial inoculum in a 60 day experiment. The microbial growth, biodiesel degradation, pH alterations, and the detection of esters in the aqueous phase were evaluated. The chemical analysis indicated the sludge composition as fatty acids esters and metallic ions; sterols glycosides were not detected. Seven bacteria and five fungi species were obtained from the sludge. The microbial growth analysis indicated that the native community does not have high biodiesel deteriogenic capacity.

Introducción: Melissa Officinalis, de la familia Lamiaceae, es una hierba utilizada en la medicina popular. Es conocido en Brasil como erva cidreira, melisa, y melitéia cidrilha. Teniendo en cuenta que M. Officinalis L. se utiliza ampliamente en la medicina popular, entre ellos para uso antibacteriano, este trabajo tuvo como objetivo evaluar la actividad antibacteriana y modulador de extracto de metanol y hexano rodar el tallo de M. officinalis L. frente a las cepas de bacterias normas y las bacterias multirresistentes. Materiales y métodos: se analizó el extracto de metanol y hexano del tallo rodadura M. Officinalis L. para la actividad antibacteriana por una prueba de microdilución para la determinación de la Concentración Mínima Inhibitoria (MIC) y la modulación de aminoglucósidos (gentamicina y amikacina). Resultados: en la evaluación de la MIC los resultados obtenidos fueron ≥1024 μg/ml con contra las bacterias (Escherichia coli y Staphylococcus aureus) en ambos extractos. El extracto de metanol mostró resultados significativos en combinación con efecto potenciador gentamicina contra E. coli y s. Aureus cuando se combina con amikacina, esta bacteria era antagonismo. Ya extracto de hexano dio lugar a una reducción de la MIC de amikacina y gentamicina contra cepas de E. coli, que muestra el efecto antagónico con cepas de la cuenta de amikacina de S. Aureus. Conclusión: se concluye que el material vegetal influye en el comportamiento de los antimicrobianos, lo que hace este trabajo importante como parámetro para futuros estudios que puedan combatir la creciente resistencia de las bacterias.
Introduction: Melissa officinalis, of the Lamiaceae family, is a herb commonly used on folk medicine. In Brazil it is known as Melissa, erva cidreira, cidrilha and meliteia. Considering that the M. Officinalis L is widely used in folk medicine, as for antibacterial use, among others, the main objective of this work was to evaluate the antibacterial and modulating activity of methanolic and hexanic extracts of M. officinalis L against pattern and multidrug resistant bacterial strains. Material and methods: The methanolic and hexanic extracts of the stem of puff pastry of M. officinalis L were analized to determine antibacterial activity by using the microdiluition for establishing the minimal inibitory concentration (MIC) and aminoglycosides (gentamicin and amikacin) modulation. Results: In the MIC evaluation, the results obtained were ≥1024 μg/mL against bacteria (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) in both extracts. The methanolic extract showed important results when associated with gentamicin, since it potentiates its effect against E. coli and S. aureus when associated with amikacin, where antagonism was found. As to the hexanic extract, it showed a MIC reduction of amikacin and gentamicin against S. aureus strains. Conclusion: It was concluded that the plant material influences the antimicrobial behavior, a fact that makes this study an important parameter to deeper studies to combat the increase of pathogenic multidrug-resistant bacteria.
