Abstract: The recent COVID-19 pandemic has led many countries to adopt emergency cash transfer policies as a way to contain the economic and humanitarian crisis. Such initiatives were developed in a context of exacerbated gender, race, ethnicity and class inequalities resulting from physical and social distancing measures. The article analyzes, by means of an exploratory study and the so-called theory-driven evaluation of the program, the theoretical premises of the Brazilian Income Transfer Program (2003), Brazilian Emergency Assistance (2020) and Brazil Assistance (2021) programs, and their corresponding implementation dynamics. As cash transfer programs are given centrality in the contemporary public agenda, the conclusion is that evaluating their limits and advances - as to theoretical conception and mechanisms triggered in each context - contributes to trace evidence about their effectiveness in addressing long-term inequalities and those inequalities that arise in health emergency contexts.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quality of information on gestational syphilis (GS) and congenital syphilis (CS) on the Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN-Syphilis Brazil – Notifiable Diseases Information System) by compiling and validating completeness indicators between 2007 and 2018. METHODS Overall, care, and socioeconomic completeness scores were compiled based on selected variables, by using ad hoc weights assigned by experts. The completeness scores were analysed, considering the region and area of residence, the pregnant woman’s race/colour, and the year of case notification. Pearson’s correlation coefficients were used to validate the scores obtained by the weighted average method, compared with the values obtained by principal component analysis (PCA). RESULTS Most selected variables presented a good or excellent degree of completeness for GS and CS, except for clinical classification, pregnant woman’s level of education, partner’s treatment, and child’s race/colour, which were classified as poor or very poor. The overall (89.93% versus 89.69%) and socioeconomic (88.71% versus 88.24%) completeness scores for GS and CS, respectively, were classified as regular, whereas the care score (GS-90.88%, and CS-90.72%) was good, despite improvements over time. Differences in the overall, care and socioeconomic completeness scores according to region, area of residence, and ethnic-racial groups were reported for syphilis notifications. The completeness scores estimated by the weighted average method and PCA showed a strong linear correlation (> 0.90). CONCLUSION The completeness of GS and CS notifications has been improving in recent years, highlighting the variables that form the care score, compared with the socioeconomic scores, despite differences between regions, area of residence, and ethnic-racial groups. The weighted average was a viable methodological alternative easily operationalised to estimate data completeness scores, allowing routine monitoring of the completeness of gestational and congenital syphilis records.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the spatial distribution of violence against older adults in the Brazilian South region before and in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: an ecological study that analyzed reports of violence against older adults between 2019 and 2020, in Southern Brazil. Local empirical Bayesian rates, Moran’s Local Autocorrelation Index and Getis Ord Gi analysis were calculated. Results: there was a reduction in the smoothed rate of violence against older adults. The high-high and hot-spot cities in 2019 became more violent in 2020; and cities with low prevalence became less violent in 2020. The highest COVID-19 fatality rates were also in those cities with the highest violence rates. Conclusion: the data reinforces the complexity of violence and its worsening due to the pandemic. In addition, they contribute to decision-making in Nursing, highlighting the need to encourage new research studies on this theme.

Abstract Background RNA extraction is a step that precedes several molecular techniques. The fibrous tissue, more specifically the dura mater, has several limitations in routine protocols, and lacks optimization protocols to overcome these problems. Objective To test stock reagents and purification kits, optimizing commercial kit protocols for RNA extraction from the dura mater. Methods Dura mater samples were obtained from eight Wistar rats and maintained in two different stabilizers. The samples were purified using four different protocols, and the RNA was evaluated for the yield and purity in NanoDrop 2000 (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, DE, United States). Beta-actin gene was used for analyzing gene expression, since is one of the most used reference genes. Results The RNA preservation was similar in both stabilizers. The addition of an incubation step prior the purification protocols allowed better tissue digestion and RNA recovery. The RNA purified using the protocols membrane-based showed higher quality than liquid-liquid purification. This impact was observed in the 3-week evaluation using RT-qPCR. Conclusion Stabilizers are efficient for RNA preservation and membrane-based purification protocols are more suitable for RNA recovery from dura mater tissue, allowing the evaluation of gene expression in this type of tissue. Adaptations in the dura mater RNA extraction protocol differ from the pre-established protocols because it takes into account the peculiarity of fibrous tissue and low cellularity. In addition to providing a low-cost mechanism, based on techniques that are part of the laboratory routine, it is possible to improve the quality of the extracted material, ensuring greater efficiency in the use of subsequent techniques.

Resumo Antecedentes A extração de RNA é uma etapa que antecede várias técnicas moleculares. O tecido fibroso, mais especificamente a dura-máter, apresenta várias limitações nos protocolos de rotina e carece de protocolos de otimização para superar estes problemas. Objetivo Testar reagentes de estoque e kits de purificação, otimizando protocolos de kits comerciais para extração de RNA da dura-máter. Métodos Amostras de dura-máter foram obtidas de oito ratos Wistar e mantidas em dois estabilizadores diferentes. As amostras foram purificadas em quatro protocolos diferentes e o RNA foi avaliado quanto ao rendimento e pureza no NanoDrop 2000 (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, DE, United States). O gene da beta-actina foi utilizado para analisar a expressão gênica, uma vez que é um dos genes de referência mais utilizados. Resultados A preservação do RNA foi semelhante em ambos os estabilizadores. A adição de uma etapa de incubação antes dos protocolos de purificação permitiu uma melhor digestão do tecido e recuperação de RNA. O RNA purificado pelos protocolos baseados em membrana apresentou qualidade superior ao da purificação líquido-líquido. Este impacto foi observado na avaliação de três semanas usando RT-qPCR. Conclusão Os estabilizadores são eficientes para preservação do RNA e os protocolos de purificação baseados em membrana são mais adequados para recuperação de RNA do tecido da dura-máter, permitindo a avaliação da expressão gênica neste tipo de tecido. As adaptações no protocolo de extração de RNA da dura-máter diferem dos protocolos preestabelecidos porque leva em consideração a peculiaridade do tecido fibroso e com baixa celularidade. Além de fornecer um mecanismo de baixo custo, baseado em técnicas que fazem parte da rotina laboratorial, é possível melhorar a qualidade do material extraído, garantindo maior eficácia no uso de técnicas subsequentes.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Systemic Mastocytosis comprises a group of neoplastic diseases characterized by clonal expansion and infiltration of mast cells into several organs. The diagnosis and treatment of this disease may be challenging for non-specialists. Objective: Make suggestions or recommendations in Systemic Mastocytosis based in a panel of Brazilian specialists. Method and results: An online expert panel with 18 multidisciplinary specialists was convened to propose recommendations on the diagnosis and treatment of Systemic Mastocytosis in Brazil. Recommendations were based on discussions of topics and multiple-choice questions and were graded using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine 2011 Levels of Evidence Chart. Conclusion: Twenty-two recommendations or suggestions were proposed based on a literature review and graded according to the findings.

ABSTRACT Background: Some studies have suggested the importance of vitamin D [25(OH)D] in malaria clinical practice. The prevalence of 25(OH)D deficiency in the Amazon population is not well known, and there are few studies in patients with malaria. This study aimed to evaluate 25(OH)D serum levels in patients with malaria and determine their relationships with epidemiological, clinical, laboratory, and parasitemia data. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study of 123 patients with malaria and 122 individuals without malaria was performed in Itaituba, Pará, Brazil, from January 2018 to October 2019, by evaluating sociodemographic, clinical-epidemiological, parasitological, and laboratory data and adopting a 5% significance level. Parametric tests (Student's t-test), non-parametric tests (Mann-Whitney U), and Spearman’s correlation ([rs], for non-parametric variables) were used according to the nature of the distribution of the variables. For the qualitative variables, Pearson's chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and the G test were used. Spearman's correlation was used to compare the results of the 25(OH)D levels and blood counts performed among patients and the control group. Results: Malaria patients residing in a mining area had 25(OH)D serum levels that were significantly lower than those in the control group residing in the mining area, though both were within normal levels. Red blood cell counts had an inverse correlation with parasitemia (Plasmodium falciparum), and platelet levels had an inverse correlation with parasitemia (Plasmodium vivax). 25(OH)D deficiency was evidenced in Itaituba, in the state of Pará, which is an endemic area of malaria in the Amazon region.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to describe the anthropometric parameters of children diagnosed with pediatric feeding disorder by a multiprofessional team. Methods: a retrospective clinical study conducted on 196 children on maternal complaints of feeding difficulties and a diagnosis of pediatric feeding disorder. Children with neurological diseases or having no pediatric feeding disorder diagnosis were excluded from the study. Weight and height data were obtained and parameters such as weight-for-age, length/height-for-age and body mass index for-age were analyzed, according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization. The two-proportion equality test was used and the level of significance was set at 0.05 (5%) in all analyses. Results: results showed mean (±Standard Deviation) values of 13.09±5.1 for weight (kg), 0.61±15.53 for height (cm) and 15.37±1.56 for body mass index (kg/m²). The results also showed that 87.2% of the children were within the adequate z-score for weight-for-age, 93.4% were within the adequate z-score for length/height-for-age, and that 88.8% had a normal z-score for-age for body mass index. Conclusion: the sample of children diagnosed with pediatric feeding disorder exhibited adequate anthropometric parameters for their age range.

ABSTRACT: This study evaluated patients´ anxiety levels related to dental radiographic examinations in addition to dentists’ perception and management. Salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) activity of 47 patients was measured before and after exposure to radiographic examinations to assess their anxiety level and compared using Wilcoxon test. Mann-Whitney test assessed the sAA activity related to sex, type of examination, and previous experience with radiographic examinations. 50 dentists were interviewed using a semi-structured script containing open-ended questions perception on their patients' anxiety. Before the radiographic examination, sAA activity was significantly higher for women (p ≤0.05). SAA activity significantly increased after the examination for men, patients of both sexes with no previous experience and for those who underwent CBCT (p≤0.05). Anxiety was reported to be observed in adult patients’ speech and pediatric patients’ behavior. Dental radiographic examinations may be a source of anxiety for women before the examination. After the examination, men, patients with no previous experience, and those subjected to CBCT present higher anxiety levels. Dentists perceive anxiety in adult and pediatric patients differently.

RESUMEN: Este estudio evaluó los niveles de ansiedad en los pacientes relacionados con exámenes radiográficos dentales, además de la percepción y el manejo de los dentistas. Se midió la actividad de la alfa-amilasa salival (sAA) de 47 pacientes antes y después de la exposición a exámenes radiográficos para evaluar su nivel de ansiedad y se comparó mediante la prueba de Wilcoxon. La prueba de Mann-Whitney evaluó la actividad de la sAA relacionada con el sexo, el tipo de examen y la experiencia previa con exámenes radiográficos. Se entrevistó a 50 dentistas utilizando un guión semiestructurado de preguntas abiertas sobre la percepción de la ansiedad de sus pacientes. Antes del examen radiográfico, la actividad de la sAA era significativamente mayor para las mujeres (p≤0.05). La actividad de SAA aumentó significativamente después del examen para los hombres, pacientes de ambos sexos sin experiencia previa y para los que se sometieron a CBCT (p≤0.05). Se informó que se observa ansiedad en el habla de los pacientes adultos y en el comportamiento de los pacientes pediátricos. Los exámenes radiográficos dentales pueden ser una fuente de ansiedad para las mujeres antes del examen. Tras la exploración, los hombres, los pacientes sin experiencia previa y los sometidos a CBCT presentan niveles de ansiedad más elevados. Los dentistas perciben la ansiedad en los pacientes adultos y pacientes pediátricos de manera diferente.

RESUMO As céleres mudanças do mundo contemporâneo requerem dos professores novos saberes, teorias, experiências e valores que lhes permitam (re)ver e transformar suas práticas, na complexa tarefa de melhorar a qualidade social da educação, o que passa necessariamente pela formação e pela experiência profissional. Este cenário motivou a presente pesquisa objetivando compreender como repercutem na (re)construção de saberes, na ação profissional e na (re)constituição da identidade docente, as alterações ocorridas nas últimas décadas, as políticas educacionais, legislação, alterações e mudanças institucionais, acordos internacionais e, sobretudo, as experiências pessoais e profissionais de cada docente. Entre as quatro dimensões que o projeto aborda - formação, experiência, interaçõese inserção em organizações - selecionou-se para este texto a experiência, enquanto constitutiva dos saberes da prática e da identidade profissional. A pesquisa conta com investigadoras das Universidades do Minho-Pt, de Évora-Pt e da UFR/UFMT/ Br. O corpus da pesquisa constitui-se de narrativas de três professores de crianças, uma do Brasil e duas de Portugal, com 20 a 30 anos de ação/prática docente, considerados como bons professores pela comunidade profissional. Questiona-se: Quais as aprendizagens mais significativas identificadas pelos professores e como as relacionam à experiência profissional? Como é que a experiência se constitui como formação profissional? Quais as experiências com crianças que os professores reportam como mais significativas? A pesquisa comprova que, independentemente de qual o lado do Atlântico em que se esteja, as interações com as crianças, com os pares profissionais e com as comunidades, constituem o pilar principal para a (re)construção das identidades profissionais.
