Abstract Background: Real-world, primary data on the treatment of psoriasis are scarce, especially concerning the role of soluble biomarkers as outcome predictors. Objective: The authors evaluated the utility of Th1/Th17 serum cytokines along with clinical characteristics as predictors of drug survival in the treatment of psoriasis. Methods: The authors consecutively included participants with moderate to severe psoriasis who were followed up for 6 years. Baseline interferon-α, tumor necrosis factor-α, and inter-leukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-17A were measured using a cytometric bead array; clinical data were assessed. The authors calculated hazard ratios (HRs) for drug survival using a Cox proportional hazards model. Results: The authors included 262 patients, most of whom used systemic immunosuppressants or biologics. In the multivariate model, poor quality of life measured by the Dermatology Life Quality Index (HR = 1.04; 95% CI 1.01–1.07; p = 0.012) and elevated baseline IL-6 (HR = 1.99; 95% CI 1.29–3.08; p = 0.002) were associated with treatment interruption. Study limitations: The main limitation of any cohort study is the presence of confounders that could not be detected in clinical evaluation. Conclusions: Poor quality of life and elevated baseline serum IL-6 level predicted treatment interruption in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. Although IL-6 is not the most important mediator of the inflammatory pathway in the skin environment, it is an interesting biomarker candidate for predicting psoriasis treatment response.

Abstract In the modern world, cancer is a growing cause of mortality, but archeological studies have shown that it is not exclusive to modern populations. The aim of this study is to examine the epidemiologic, social, and clinicopathologic features of head and neck cancers in ancient populations. To do this, we extracted all records that described malignant lesions in the head and neck region available in the Cancer Research in Ancient Bodies Database (CRAB). The estimated age, sex, physical condition of the remains (skeletonized, mummified), anatomic location of tumors, geographic location, chronology, tumor type, and methods of tumor diagnosis were collected. One hundred and sixty-seven cases were found, mostly originating from Europe (51.5%). Most records were of adults between 35 and 49 years of age (37.7%). The most involved site was the skullcap (60.4%), and the most common malignancies were metastases to the bone (65.3%) and multiple myeloma (17.4%). No primary soft tissue malignancies were registered. The results of our study indicate that head and neck cancers were present in ancient civilizations, at least since 500,000 BCE. The available data can help to improve the current understanding of the global distribution of head and neck cancer and its multidimensional impacts on populations in the contemporary world.

Abstract Background: Studies on social participation point out some limitations in participatory architecture. For this reason, the World Health Organization designed a model with key components for bringing civil society and governments closer together. Objectives: This study aimed to identify the aspects that influence participation based on the components proposed by the World Health Organization. Methodology: This case study used a qualitative and cross-sectional approach. Data were collected through document analysis, non-participant observation, and semi-structured interviews in 2020 and 2021 with the municipal health council members of an inland city in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Results: Weaknesses were observed in the council’s institutional structure, such as excessive bureaucracy, lack of user representativeness, and council members’ insecurity regarding the municipality’s health-related economic-financial issues. Conclusion: There is a need to strengthen the culture of participation in this municipal health council, disseminate the activities developed, and reformulate the technical-bureaucratic dynamics that predominate in this environment.

Resumen Marco contextual: Los estudios sobre participación social señalan algunas limitaciones en la arquitectura participativa, por lo que la Organización Mundial de la Salud ha diseñado un modelo que hace hincapié en las dimensiones constitutivas para acercar a la sociedad civil y a los gobiernos. Objetivos: El estudio pretendía identificar los elementos que influyen en la participación en función de las dimensiones propuestas por la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Metodología: Se trata de un estudio de caso, con un enfoque cualitativo y transversal, que se llevó a cabo mediante el análisis documental, la observación no participante y entrevistas semiestructuradas en los años 2020 y 2021 con los consejeros del CMS de una ciudad brasileña del interior del estado de São Paulo. Resultados: Se observaron deficiencias en las arquitecturas institucionales del consejo estudiado, tales como la excesiva burocracia, la falta de representatividad de los usuarios, la inseguridad de los consejeros en los asuntos económicos y financieros relacionados con la salud del municipio. Conclusión: Se sugiere la necesidad de fortalecer la cultura participativa en el consejo municipal de salud estudiado, sobre todo la necesidad de difundir las acciones desarrolladas y reformular la lógica tecnoburocrática predominante en este entorno.

RESUMO OBJETIVO Estimar a soroprevalência de anticorpos do vírus SARS-CoV-2 em escolares de quatro a 14 anos de idade residentes no município de São Paulo, segundo variáveis clínicas, demográficas, epidemiológicas e sociais, durante o período de fechamento das escolas como medida de controle da covid-19. MÉTODOS Realizou-se um inquérito sorológico em setembro de 2020 com amostra aleatória estratificada por tipo de rede de ensino (pública municipal, pública estadual e privada). Foi coletada amostra de sangue venoso utilizando-se o teste de imunoensaio de fluxo lateral da fabricante Wondfo para detecção de anticorpos totais contra o vírus SARS-CoV-2. Aplicaram-se questionários semiestruturados para o levantamento de dados clínicos, demográficos, sociais e epidemiológicos. RESULTADOS A soroprevalência de anticorpos do vírus SARS-CoV-2 em escolares foi de 16,6% (IC95% 15,4–17,8). O estudo encontrou soroprevalências mais elevadas na rede pública municipal (18,5%; IC95% 16,6–20,6) e estadual (16,2%; IC95% 14,4–18,2) em relação à rede privada (11,7; IC95% 10,0–13,7) e entre escolares da raça/cor preta e parda (18,4%; IC95% 16,8–20,2) e no estrato social mais vulnerável (18,5%; IC95% 16,9–20,2). A pesquisa identificou menores soroprevalências nos escolares que relataram seguir as medidas recomendadas de proteção contra a covid-19. CONCLUSÃO A soroprevalência de anticorpos contra o vírus SARS-CoV-2 atinge principalmente os escolares socialmente mais vulneráveis. Este estudo pode contribuir para embasar políticas públicas que reforcem a importância da suspensão das aulas presenciais e da necessidade de estratégias de medidas de proteção e acompanhamento do status sorológico daqueles que ainda não foram contemplados no calendário vacinal.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To estimate seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in schoolchildren aged 4 to 14 years living in the city of São Paulo, according to clinical, demographic, epidemiological, and social variables, during the school closure period as a measure against covid-19 spread. METHODS A serological survey was made in September 2020 with a random sample stratified by school system (municipal public, state public and private) type. A venous blood sample was collected using the Wondfo SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Test (lateral flow method) for detection of total SARS-CoV-2 virus antibodies. Semi-structured questionnaires were applied to collect clinical, demographic, social, and epidemiological data. RESULTS Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in schoolchildren was of 16.6% (95%CI 15.4–17.8). The study found higher seroprevalence in the municipal (18.5%; 95%CI 16.6–20.6) and state (16.2%; 95%CI 14.4–18.2) public school systems compared to the private school system (11.7; 95%CI 10.0–13.7), among black and brown students (18.4%; 95%CI 16.8–20.2) and in the most vulnerable social stratum (18.5 %;95%CI 16.9–20.2). Lower seroprevalence was identified in schoolchildren who reported following the recommended protective measures against covid-19. CONCLUSION Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies is found mainly in the most socially vulnerable schoolchildren. This study can contribute to support public policies that reinforce the importance of suspending face-to-face classes and developing strategies aimed at protective measures and monitoring of the serological status of those who have not yet been included in the vaccination schedule.

RESUMO Objetivo: Identificar fatores associados à definição do método estimador da idade gestacional (IG) registrado na declaração de nascido vivo (DNV) e comparar os resultados obtidos segundo método no município de São Paulo, entre 2012 e 2019. Métodos: Estudo transversal de base populacional utilizando o Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos. Realizou-se análise descritiva e comparativa segundo método de estimativa da IG, seguida de modelo de regressão logística uni e multivariada para identificar as variáveis preditoras do método utilizado. Resultados: A estimativa da IG pela data da última menstruação (DUM) (39,9%) foi inferior à obtida por outros métodos (OM) (60,1%) — exame físico e ultrassonografia, entre 2012-2019. O registro da DUM na DNV aumentou com a idade da mãe, foi maior entre as brancas, mais escolarizadas e com companheiro, nas cesarianas e nos partos realizados com financiamento privado. Na regressão logística, o financiamento público apresentou chance 2,33 vezes maior que o privado para uso de OM. A proporção de prematuros (<37 semanas) com IG pela DUM foi 26,5% maior do que a obtida por OM. A mediana de peso ao nascer foi maior entre prematuros com IG estimada pela DUM. Conclusão: A prematuridade foi mais elevada com a IG estimada pela DUM no MSP, o que pode indicar superestimação por este método. A fonte de financiamento foi a variável mais explicativa para definição do método estimador da IG na DNV. Os resultados apontam a necessidade de cautela ao comparar a IG obtida por métodos diferentes.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify factors associated with the definition of the gestational age (GA) estimation method recorded in the live birth certificate (LBC), and to compare the results obtained according to the method in the city of São Paulo (CSP), between 2012 and 2019. Methods: Cross-sectional population-based study using the Live Birth Information System. Descriptive and comparative analysis was performed according to the GA estimation method, followed by a univariate and multivariate logistic regression model to identify the predictor variables of the method used. Results: The estimation of GA by the date of the last menstrual period (LMP) (39.9%) was lower than that obtained by other methods (OM) (60.1%) — physical examination and ultrasound, between 2012–2019. LMP registration in the LBC increased with the mother's age, it was higher among women who were white, more educated and with partners, in cesarean sections and with private funding. In the logistic regression, public funding was 2.33 times more likely than private funding to use OM. The proportion of preterm infants (<37 weeks) with GA by LMP was 26.5% higher than that obtained by OM. Median birth weight was higher among preterm infants with GA estimated by LMP. Conclusion: Prematurity was higher with the GA estimated by LMP in the CSP, which may indicate overestimation by this method. The source of funding was the most explanatory variable for defining the GA estimator method at the LBC. The results point to the need for caution when comparing the GA obtained by different methods.

RESUMO No Brasil, 67,7% dos municípios têm menos de 20 mil habitantes, sendo caracterizados como de pequeno porte. O objetivo do presente artigo é sistematizar a experiência e identificar os desafios e as lições aprendidas na implantação do modelo de fortalecimento da governança regional e da organização da rede de atenção à saúde (RAS) em uma região do Brasil composta por esses municípios, que apresentam baixa capacidade técnica e orçamentária, além de fragilidades diversas relacionadas à organização da RAS. Na perspectiva do fortalecimento da governança regional e da organização do processo de trabalho da atenção primária em saúde (APS) e, por consequência, dos fluxos com os outros níveis de atenção, foi proposta a estratégia intitulada Mais Cuidado Mais Saúde, desenvolvida em parceria com a Organização Pan-Americana da Saúde/Organização Mundial da Saúde (OPAS/OMS) e o Ministério da Saúde. O projeto foi executado por meio de processos de educação permanente em saúde e fortalecimento de capacidades institucionais na região de Ivaiporã/Paraná, com oficinas descentralizadas, contemplando três eixos prioritários: integração da RAS, formação de capacidades e gestão da informação. O público-alvo foram as equipes de APS ampliada. O projeto permitiu desenvolver capacidades locais e de governança regional por meio de reflexões conjuntas a respeito do modelo de atenção à saúde, de seus componentes e das mudanças necessárias nos processos de trabalho para a promoção de saúde com foco na qualidade de vida dos usuários. Por se tratar de uma experiência que considera as fragilidades, necessidades e autonomia dos atores locais, o projeto tem alto poder de replicação e customização para outras regiões com características similares dentro e fora do Brasil.

RESUMEN En Brasil, 67,7% de los municipios se clasifican como pequeños, puesto que tienen menos de 20 000 habitantes. El objetivo de este artículo es sistematizar la experiencia adquirida y determinar cuáles son los desafíos y las enseñanzas extraídas en la implementación del modelo de fortalecimiento de la gobernanza regional y de la organización de la red de atención de salud en una región de Brasil compuesta por municipios de este tipo, que tienen poca capacidad técnica y presupuestaria y diversas debilidades relacionadas con la organización de dicha red. Desde la perspectiva del fortalecimiento de la gobernanza regional y de la organización del proceso de trabajo en el campo de la atención primaria de salud y, por consiguiente, de los flujos asistenciales con los demás niveles de atención, se propuso la estrategia Más cuidado, más salud, formulada junto con la Organización Panamericana de la Salud/Organización Mundial de la Salud (OPS/OMS) y el Ministerio de Salud. El proyecto se ejecutó por medio de procesos de educación permanente en salud y fortalecimiento de las capacidades institucionales en la región de Ivaiporã, Estado de Paraná, con talleres descentralizados, dentro de tres ejes prioritarios, a saber, integración de red de atención de salud, capacitación y gestión de la información. El público destinatario fueron los equipos de atención primaria de salud ampliada. El proyecto permitió el desarrollo de las capacidades locales y la gobernanza regional por medio de reflexiones conjuntas sobre el modelo de atención de salud, sus elementos constitutivos y los cambios necesarios en los procesos de trabajo para impulsar la promoción de la salud centrada en la calidad de vida de los usuarios. Por tratarse de una experiencia en la cual se tienen en cuenta las debilidades, las necesidades y la autonomía de los actores locales, el proyecto tiene un alto poder de repetición y adaptación en otras regiones con características similares dentro y fuera de Brasil.

ABSTRACT In Brazil, 67.7% of the municipalities are characterized as small, with a population of less than 20 thousand. The objective of this article is to systematize the experience and identify the challenges and lessons learned in the implementation of the model for strengthening regional governance and organizing the health care network (HCN) in a region of Brazil composed of these municipalities, which present low technical and budgetary capacity, in addition to various fragilities related to the organization of the HCN. With a view to strengthening regional governance and the organization of the primary health care (PHC) work process and, consequently, the workflow with other levels of care, a strategy entitled More Care More Health (Mais Cuidado Mais Saúde) was proposed, developed in partnership with the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) and the Ministry of Health. The project was developed through permanent health education and institutional capacity building in the region of Ivaiporã, state of Paraná, based on workshops and addressing three priority axes: HCN integration, capacity building and information management. The target audience were the extended PHC teams. The project made it possible to develop local and governance capacities through joint reflections on the health care model, its components and the necessary changes in work processes for health promotion with a focus on the quality of life of users. Because it is an experience that considers the weaknesses, needs and autonomy of local actors, the project has a high potential for replication and customization for other regions with similar characteristics inside and outside Brazil.

ABSTRACT: The production of artisanal cheeses made with raw bovine milk has grown in the southern region of Brazil. It is important to obtain information about the risks of this practice, especially concerning food safety. In this study, next-generation sequencing was used to identify and characterize the bacterial communities of artisanal raw milk cheeses. We analyzed one pool of five raw milk samples (control group M1) from different dairy farms and nine pools (M2-M10) of 45 artisanal raw milk cheeses.The characterization of the bacterial communities included 199 species distributed across 59 different genera dispersed among the samples. Among the genera observed, 11 were classified as beneficial to the aroma, flavour, colour, and texture of the cheese. Thirty-one genera were classified as harmful to these characteristics. Another 17 were classified as potential pathogens for animals and humans, including Aeromonas, Bacillus, Cronobacter, Salmonella, Staphylococcus, and bacteria of the coliform group, including E. coli and Klebsiella. There was a significant difference (P < 0.05) in the number of bacterial communities identified between the control group (M1) and the two pools of artisanal raw milk cheeses (M2 and M8). This study demonstrated that next-generation sequencing provides in-depth information on the composition of the microbiota in artisanal raw milk cheeses, characterizing bacterial communities, identifying the wide microbial diversity, and identifying microbial benefits and risks.

RESUMO: Devido ao aumento da produção de queijos artesanais com leite bovino cru na região sul do Brasil, é importante obter informações sobre os riscos desta prática, principalmente no que se refere à segurança do alimento. Neste estudo foi utilizada a técnica de Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) para identificar e caracterizar comunidades bacterianas de queijos artesanais de leite cru. Foram analisados um pool de cinco amostras de leite cru como grupo controle (M1) de diferentes propriedades leiteiras localizadas na região norte do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, e nove pools (M2-M10) de 45 queijos artesanais de leite cru. A caracterização das comunidades bacterianas incluiu 199 espécies distribuídas em 59 gêneros diferentes dispersos entre as amostras. Dentre os gêneros observados, 11 foram classificados como benéficos ao aroma, sabor, cor e textura do queijo, enquanto 31 gêneros foram classificados como prejudiciais a essas características. Outros 17 foram classificados como potenciais patogênicos para animais e humanos, incluindo Aeromonas, Bacillus, Cronobacter, Salmonella, Staphylococcus, bactérias do grupo coliforme como Escherichia coli e Klebsiella. Houve diferença significativa (P < 0,05) entre o número de comunidades bacterianas identificadas no grupo controle (M1) e dois pools de queijos artesanais de leite cru (M2 e M8). Este estudo demonstra que o NGS fornece informações detalhadas sobre a composição da microbiota em queijos artesanais de leite cru, caracterizando comunidades bacterianas, identificando a ampla diversidade microbiana, os benefícios e riscos microbianos.

Abstract Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is the most used supplement in culture media; however, it may interfere with in vitro assays via effects on cell proliferation and cytokine production. The ideal FBS concentration for assays using apical papilla cells (APCs) remains unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of FBS on APC activation, cell viability/proliferation, and cytokine production. Methodology Human APCs were cultured, plated, and maintained in media containing increasing concentrations of FBS for 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 7 days, and 14 days in the presence of Lipopolysaccharide (LPS - 1 µg/mL). At each time point, the cells were subjected to the MTT assay. The cytokines transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, osteoprotegerin (OPG), and interleukin (IL)-6, along with the chemokine CCL2, were quantified using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at the 24-h time-point. Statistical analysis was performed using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey's post-hoc test (p<0.05). Results In general, APCs exhibited increasing metabolic activity in an FBS concentration-dependent fashion, regardless of the presence of LPS. In contrast, FBS interfered with the production of all the cytokines evaluated in this study, affecting the response induced by the presence of LPS. Conclusion FBS increased APC metabolism in a concentration-dependent manner and differentially affected the production of TGF-β1, OPG, IL-6, and CCL2 by APCs in vitro.

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.

ABSTRACT Purpose To gather the parameters found in the cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) in children and adolescents with enlarged vestibular aqueduct syndrome (SAVA) and identify the possible changes, when compared to the values found in normal hearing people of the same age group. Research strategy Systematic review registered in the PROSPERO database, prepared through a search in virtual databases, based on the selected keywords. Selection criteria Included scientific articles available in full that reported the evaluation using cVEMP in the 0 and 18 years old group , with a diagnosis of SAVA, without restrictions of language and year of publication; Studies on patients with any disorder other than otoneurological ones and populations outside the proposed age range were excluded. Results 984 records were identified from the search in the databases consulted and 5 articles were selected. In a total of 133 patients who underwent cVEMP, the presence of a response was observed in most cases, with no significant difference in latencies, but with an increase in amplitude and a decrease in cVEMP thresholds. Conclusion The cVEMP test is recommended in the evaluation of children and adolescents with SAVA and the characteristics of increase in amplitude and decrease in thresholds can be used as clinical parameters in the identification of this syndrome, together with the patient’s clinical history and imaging exams. However, it is essential to carry out more studies with the cVEMP test, also in children and adolescents with SAVA, to better standardize the values found, in order to make the correct diagnosis.

RESUMO Objetivo Reunir os parâmetros encontrados no potencial miogênico evocado vestibular cervical (cVEMP) em crianças e adolescentes com síndrome do aqueduto vestibular alargado (SAVA) e identificar as possíveis alterações, quando comparados aos valores encontrados em normo-ouvintes da mesma faixa etária. Estratégia de pesquisa Revisão sistemática cadastrada na base PROSPERO, elaborada por meio de busca nos bancos de dados virtuais, a partir dos unitermos selecionados. Critérios de seleção Incluídos artigos científicos disponíveis na íntegra que relataram a avaliação com o uso do cVEMP na faixa etária entre 0 e 18 anos, com diagnóstico de SAVA, sem restrição de idioma e ano de publicação; excluídos estudos em paciente com algum distúrbio, outras patologias otoneurológicas e população fora da faixa etária estimada. Resultados Foram identificados 984 registros, a partir da pesquisa nas bases de dados consultadas e selecionados 5 artigos. Em um total de 133 pacientes que realizaram o cVEMP, foi observada presença de resposta na maioria dos casos, sem diferença significativa nas latências, mas com aumento na amplitude e diminuição nos limiares do cVEMP. Conclusão O teste cVEMP é recomendado na avaliação de crianças e adolescentes com SAVA e as características de aumento na amplitude e diminuição nos limiares podem ser utilizadas como parâmetros clínicos na identificação da referida síndrome, juntamente com a história clínica do paciente e os exames de imagem. No entanto, é imprescindível a realização de mais estudos com o exame cVEMP, ainda, em crianças e adolescentes com SAVA, para a melhor padronização dos valores encontrados, a fim de efetivar o diagnóstico correto.

ABSTRACT This case report aimed to evaluate the swallowing capacity and the severity of the risk of laryngotracheal aspiration of a 52-year-old female patient with atypical and rare stroke, with major injury in the cerebellar pathway. In order to measure swallowing capacity and risk of aspiration a routine clinical assessment used in the speech therapy clinic was performed and two valid clinical tests were used: Massey Bedside Swallowing Screen (MBSS) and Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS). After evaluation with the clinical tests, it was observed that the patient had reduced swallowing capacity, performance characterized as pathological, 100% dysfunction in the water swallowing test (MBSS), presence of choking, coughing, change in vocal quality and anterior escape. In the assessment of risk of aspiration with the GUSS, the patient presented moderate dysphagia and risk of laryngotracheal aspiration.This case report demonstrated that moderate dysphagia is found in a stroke patient with lesions that affect the cerebellum. Standardized and validated clinical tests such as GUSS and MBSS should also be used to assess the risk of dysphagia after stroke at ambulatory care.

RESUMO Esse relato de caso teve o objetivo de avaliar a capacidade de deglutição e a gravidade do risco de aspiração laringotraqueal de uma paciente, 52 anos, com Acidente Vascular Encefálico (AVE) atípico, com comprometimento na via cerebelar. Para mensurar a capacidade de deglutição e do risco de aspiração foram utilizados a avaliação de rotina na clínica de fonoaudiologia e dois testes clínicos validados: o Massey Bedside Swallowing Screen (MBSS) e o Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS). Após a avaliação com os testes clínicos, foi observado que a paciente apresentou capacidade de deglutição diminuída, desempenho caracterizado como patológico e de risco, com 100% de alteração no teste de deglutição de água pelo MBSS, presença de engasgo, tosse, alteração na qualidade vocal e escape anterior de alimento. Já na avaliação do risco de aspiração com o GUSS, a paciente apresentou disfagia moderada e com risco de aspiração laringotraqueal. A disfagia pode estar presente em casos de AVE com lesão anatômica comprometendo o cerebelo e suas vias, o que sugere a importância de avaliação específica da deglutição nesses casos. Os testes GUSS e o MBSS podem ser utilizados para avaliação de casos atípicos de AVE em fase ambulatorial, com objetivos de avaliar o risco de aspiração e a capacidade de deglutição.

Resumo Este artigo apresenta os resultados de um estudo qualitativo sobre o modo como adultos mais velhos a residirem sozinhos em Portugal experienciaram o primeiro confinamento domiciliário no contexto da pandemia de COVID-19 em 2020. O confinamento domiciliário foi marcado por experiências negativas, com exceção de um participante que teve uma combinação particularmente favorável de recursos e circunstâncias. As experiências negativas envolveram perdas em diversas áreas, como a privação de atividades fora de casa, de independência e de interações sociais presenciais. Perder as atividades fora de casa e a independência promoveu uma sensação de aprisionamento, enquanto a perda de interações sociais cara a cara desencadeou um sentimento de solidão física. Considerando as potenciais implicações negativas destas perdas, é crucial criar soluções inovadoras que possam mitigá-las em futuros confinamentos.

Résumé Cet article présente les résultats d’une étude qualitative sur la façon dont les adultes plus vieux vivant seuls au Portugal ont vécu le premier confinement à domicile dans le contexte de la pandémie de COVID-19 en 2020. Le confinement à domicile a été marqué par des expériences négatives, à l’exception d’un participant qui avait une combinaison particulièrement favorable de ressources et de circonstances. Les expériences négatives impliquaient des pertes dans plusieurs domaines, tels que la privation d’activités en dehors de la maison, l’indépendance et les interactions sociales face à face. La perte d’activités extérieures et d’indépendance a favorisé un sentiment d’emprisonnement, tandis que la perte d’interactions sociales en face à face a déclenché un sentiment de solitude physique. Compte tenu des implications négatives potentielles de ces pertes, il est crucial de créer des solutions innovantes qui peuvent les atténuer lors de futurs confinements.

Abstract This article presents findings of a qualitative study reporting older adults’ experiences of solitary home confinement during Portugal’s first COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. Home confinement was marked by negative experiences, with the exception of one participant who had a particularly favorable combination of resources and circumstances. Negative experiences involved losses in several areas, such as being deprived of out-of-home activities, independence and face-to-face social interactions. Losing out-of-home activities and independence promoted a sense of imprisonment, while losing face-to-face social interactions triggered a feeling of physical loneliness. Considering the potential negative implications of these losses, it is crucial to create innovative solutions that can mitigate them in future lockdowns.

Abstract Grapes have been produced successfully in semiarid regions, but fruit quality may be affected by rootstock selection. In this study, the ‘Isabel Precoce’ grape variety was cultivated onto three different rootstocks (‘IAC 572’, ‘IAC 766’, and ‘IAC 313’), and the physicochemical traits of fruits were evaluated at 14, 19, 21 and 28 days after veraison skin. The results showed that bunches increased significantly in weight and color until 19 days after veraison. In addition, grapes accumulated soluble solids, sugars, and anthocyanins during 28 days of ripening. Moreover, the rootstock used affected bunch length, pulp firmness, and the sugar and anthocyanin contents, but it did not influence skin coloring. In conclusion, ‘Isabel Precoce’ grapes reached maximum weight at 24 days after veraison and maximum soluble solids content, titratable acidity/soluble solids ratio, anthocyanins, and total soluble sugars at 28 days. Fruit on the ‘IAC 313’ and ‘IAC 766’ rootstocks had higher total soluble solids and anthocyanins at 28 days after veraison than ‘IAC 572’. ‘Isabel Precoce grapes’ produced in semiarid conditions showed good quality for fresh marketing and for wine production.

Resumen Se han producido uvas con éxito en regiones semiáridas, pero la calidad de la fruta puede verse afectada por el porta injerto utilizado. La uva ‘Isabel Precoce’ se cultivó sobre tres porta injertos diferentes (‘IAC 572’, ‘IAC 766’ e ‘IAC 313’) y se evaluaron las características fisicoquímicas de los frutos a los 14, 19, 21 y 28 días después del envero (cuando los frutos empiezan a madurar y la piel a colorear). Los resultados mostraron que los racimos aumentaron de peso y el color de la piel cambió significativamente hasta 19 días después del envero. Además, las uvas acumularon sólidos solubles, azúcares y antocianinas durante 28 días de maduración post-envero. El porta injerto utilizado afectó la longitud del racimo, la firmeza de la pulpa y el contenido de azúcar y antocianinas, pero no influyó en la coloración de la piel. En conclusión, la uva ‘Isabel Precoce’ alcanzó el peso máximo a los 24 días del envero y la máxima calidad en contenido de sólidos solubles, relación sólidos solubles /acidez titulable, antocianinas y azúcares solubles totales a los 28 días. Los porta injertos ‘IAC 313’ e ‘IAC 766’ produjeron uvas con más azúcares solubles totales y antocianinas a los 28 días después del envero que ‘IAC 572’.
