ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the performance of a portable autorefractor as refractor and screening tool for refractive errors in schoolchildren. Methods: Cross-sectional observational study. Refractometric measurements of children between 5 and 10 years old were obtained through four methods: 2WIN under non-cycloplegic conditions, and 2WIN, conventional autorefractor, and retinoscopy, under cycloplegic conditions. Correlations and agreement between the methods and accuracy of the portable autorefractor to define whether to prescribe glasses were assessed. Results: The mean age ± standard deviation was 6.87 ± 1.42 years. The portable autorefractor without cycloplegia showed a high correlation with retinoscopy (0.77) but tended to underestimate hyperopia and overestimate high astigmatism. Regarding screening for prescription of glasses in comparison with the reference method “retinoscopy,” the sensitivity of the portable autorefractor without cycloplegia was calculated to be 100,00% and the specificity, 34.3%. Conclusion: The portable autorefractor should be used as a screening tool and, when prescribing glasses, the tendency of underestimating hyperopia and overestimating high astigmatism should be kept in mind.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar o desempenho de um autorrefrator portátil como refrator e ferramenta de triagem para erros de refração em crianças em idade escolar. Métodos: Estudo observacional transversal. As medidas refratométricas de crianças de 5 a 10 anos foram obtidas por meio de quatro métodos: 2WIN em condições não cicloplégicas e 2WIN, autorrefrator convencional e retinoscopia, em condições cicloplégicas. Foram avaliadas as correlações e a concordância entre os métodos e a acurácia do autorrefrator portátil para definir a prescrição de óculos. Resultados: A média de idade ± desvio-padrão foi de 6,87 ± 1,42 anos. O autorrefrator portátil sem cicloplegia apresentou alta correlação com a retinoscopia (0,77), mas tendeu a subestimar a hipermetropia e a superestimar o alto astigmatismo. Em relação à triagem para prescrição de óculos em comparação com o método de referência retinoscópio, a sensibilidade do autorrefrator portátil sem cicloplegia foi calculada em 100,00% e a especificidade, em 34,3%. Conclusão: O autorrefrator portátil deve ser usado como ferramenta de triagem e, ao se prescreverem óculos, deve-se ter em mente a tendência de subestimar a hipermetropia e superestimar o alto astigmatismo.

Abstract Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a part of Brazilian Nursing History that needs to be known to understand the evolution of knowledge and practice following the Psychiatric Reform. Objective: To identify nursing care for inpatients undergoing ECT at a Brazilian psychiatric institution between 1980 and 1990. Methodology: Social-historical study based on written documents from a Brazilian psychiatric institution and oral statements from nursing professionals, analyzed according to Foucault’s framework. Results: Nursing care was defined based on everyday experiences and provided before, during, and after ECT. Nursing professionals had no professional training. They acted autonomously, administering ECT to calm agitated patients, or accompanied physicians’ interventions, providing care to reduce the side effects of ECT. Conclusion: Despite being part of the asylum-style care model, ECT included nursing care to avoid unwanted effects. Nursing professionals witnessed the decline of ECT in society. The present study describes aspects of ECT that are inconsistent with today’s practice.

Resumen Marco contextual: La terapia electroconvulsiva (TEC) forma parte del pasado de la enfermería que es necesario conocer para dar sentido a las transformaciones del conocimiento y la práctica tras la Reforma Psiquiátrica. Objetivo: Identificar los cuidados de enfermería en la aplicación de la terapia electroconvulsiva en pacientes ingresados en un instituto psiquiátrico brasileño entre 1980 y 1990. Metodología: Investigación histórico-social en documentos escritos de la institución y documentos orales producidos con profesionales de enfermería, interpretados según el referencial foucaultiano. Resultados: Los cuidados de enfermería se definieron por la experiencia diaria y se llevaron a cabo antes, durante y después de la terapia electroconvulsiva. El personal de enfermería no tenía formación profesional y actuaba por su cuenta, aplicando la terapia para calmar a los pacientes agitados o acompañando la aplicación del médico, proporcionando cuidados para reducir los efectos secundarios. Conclusión: A pesar del modelo de manicomio, la aplicación de la terapia electroconvulsiva contaba con cuidados de enfermería a los pacientes para evitar efectos no deseados. La enfermería ha seguido el declive de la TEC en la sociedad. Este estudio pone de manifiesto las características de la TEC que no se ajustan a la práctica contemporánea.

Resumo Enquadramento: A terapia electroconvulsiva (TEC) é parte do passado da enfermagem que precisa de ser conhecido, a fim de dar sentido às transformações nos saberes e práticas após a Reforma Psiquiátrica. Objetivo: Identificar os cuidados de enfermagem na aplicação da terapia electroconvulsiva em utentes internados num instituto psiquiátrico brasileiro entre 1980 e 1990. Metodologia: Investigação histórico-social em documentos escritos da instituição cenário e orais produzidos com profissionais de enfermagem, interpretados à luz do referencial foucaultiano. Resultados: Os cuidados de enfermagem foram definidos pela experiência quotidiana e realizados nos momentos pré, trans e pós a aplicação da terapia electroconvulsiva. A enfermagem não tinha formação profissional e agia por conta própria, aplicando a terapia para acalmar utentes agitados ou acompanhando a aplicação pelo médico, prestando cuidados para reduzir efeitos colaterais. Conclusão: Apesar do modelo manicomial, a aplicação da terapia electroconvulsiva contava com cuidados de enfermagem aos utentes para evitar efeitos indesejados. A enfermagem acompanhou o declínio da TEC na sociedade. Este estudo evidenciou características da TEC que não se adequam à prática contemporânea.

ABSTRACT Based on the current scenario of accelerating social changes that reflect on the educational context, the discussion on the factors that might influence the quality of life (QOL) of Physical Education teachers is important. With the purpose of evaluating the association between QOL and sociodemographic characteristics, questionnaires on socio-demographic data and quality of life (WHOQOL-bref) were applied to 298 Physical Education teachers of Basic Education in Grande Florianópolis mesoregion, state of Santa Cantarina, Brazil. The Chi-square, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal Wallis tests with Dunn’s post hoc method (p <0.05) were used for data analysis. The Physical Education teachers showed regular scores related to the general QOL; higher values for the social relations domain and lower ones for the physical domain. Some characteristics, such as sex, vital cycles, length of service in the school system, work shift, population number and the Human Development Index (HDI) of the municipalities were correlated with general QOL, as well as with the physical, psychological and environmental domains. It is concluded that QOL is associated with the socio-demographic characteristics of Physical Education teachers; thus, this should be taken into consideration when thinking of educational planning and management in Basic Education. context (QOL important socio demographic WHOQOLbref WHOQOL bref (WHOQOL-bref 29 mesoregion Cantarina Brazil Chisquare, Chisquare Chi square, square Chi-square MannWhitney Mann Whitney Dunns Dunn s p <0.05 005 0 05 analysis sex cycles system shift HDI (HDI domains thus 2 <0.0 00 <0. <0 <

RESUMO A discussão sobre os fatores que podem influenciar a qualidade de vida (QV) de professores de Educação Física é importante no cenário atual de transformações sociais acelaradas que refletem no contexto educacional. Com o objetivo de verificar a associação entre QV e características sociodemográficas, aplicou-se questionários de dados sociodemográficos e de qualidade de vida (Whoqol-bref) a 298 professores de Educação Física da educação básica da região da Grande Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brasil. Utilizou-se no tratamento de dados, os testes Qui-quadrado, Mann-Whitney e Kruskal Wallis, com post hoc de Dunn (p<0,05). Os professores de Educação Física apresentaram escores regulares na QV geral, maiores valores de escores no domínio das relações sociais e menores valores no domínio físico. As características como sexo, ciclos vitais, tempo de serviço na rede, turno de trabalho, número populacional e Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano dos municípios foram associados à QV geral e aos domínios físico, psicológico e ambiental. Conclui-se que a QV está associada as características sociodemográficas dos professores de Educação Física e que estas devem ser levadas em considerações no planejamento e na gestão educacional no ensino básico.

RESUMO A sífilis é uma doença reemergente e potencialmente grave. Por sua onipresença e pleomorfismo, é denominada “grande imitadora”. Relatamos caso de paciente jovem com sífilis secundária, que se apresentou com coriorretinopatia placóide sifilítica posterior aguda bilateral, simultaneamente a periostite craniana sifilítica. A despeito de realce paquimeníngeo observado na ressonância magnética, acreditamos que este tenha sido uma extensão do processo ósseo e não, uma meningite em si, uma vez que o exame do líquido cefalorraquidiano estava completamente normal. Tratamento com penicilina cristalina intravenosa resultou em completa resolução dos sinais, sintomas e achados de imagem. A sífilis secundária é o estágio de maior bacteremia e maior transmissibilidade da doença, apresentando-se principalmente com quadros mucocutâneos, mas também, menos frequentemente, com envolvimento de outros órgãos. Elevada suspeição e uma abordagem pragmática são necessárias para o diagnóstico, uma vez que essa doença pode afetar vários órgãos, como no caso relatado, em que foram acometidos olhos, ossos e pele.

ABSTRACT Syphilis is a reemerging and potentially serious disease. Owing to its ubiquity and pleomorphism, it is called “the great imitator”. We report the case of a young woman with secondary syphilis who presented with bilateral acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinopathy along with a syphilitic skull periostitis. A pachymeningeal enhancement was observed on magnetic resonance imaging, but we believe it was an extension of the bone process rather than a meningitis itself on the basis of the normal cerebrospinal fluid analysis results. Treatment with intravenous crystalline penicillin resulted in complete resolution of the signs, symptoms, and imaging findings. Secondary syphilis is the stage with the highest bacteremia and the highest transmissibility, presenting mainly with mucocutaneous disorders and, less frequently, with involvement of other organs. High suspicion and a pragmatic approach are essential to the diagnosis because this disease can affect several organs, as in the present case, in which the eyes, bones, and skin were affected.

RESUMO Os autores relatam o caso de um homem diabético de 46 anos de idade em tratamento para mucormicose rino-orbital-cerebral com anfotericina B lipossomal e desbridamento cirúrgico. Piora clínica foi observada, com acometimento de motilidade ocular e acuidade visual de ausência de percepção luminosa, sendo evidenciada extensão radiológica da infecção, com invasão do seio cavernoso. Com base nos achados oftalmológicos, uma exenteração, procedimento potencialmente desfigurante, foi indicada, mas optamos por realizar amplo desbridamento cirúrgico e administração intraconal de anfotericina B por cateter. Melhora clínica e resolução da inflamação ocorreram após duas semanas de tratamento. Dessa forma, a mucormicose rino-orbital-cerebral foi efetivamente controlada com a administração intraconal de anfotericina B, evitando a exenteração. A intervenção deve ser considerada como um tratamento adjuvante em casos selecionados de mucormicose rino-orbital-cerebral antes que a exenteração seja realizada.

ABSTRACT We report the case of a 46-year-old diabetic man receiving treatment for rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis with liposomal amphotericin B and surgical debridement. The patient’s condition worsened clinically, accompanied by the loss of ocular motility and a visual acuity of absence of light perception. Radiological extension of the infection was evidenced, with invasion of the cavernous sinus. Based on ophthalmological findings, exenteration (a potentially disfiguring procedure) was indicated, but we opted for wide surgical debridement and administration of amphotericin B via intraconal catheter. Clinical improvement and resolution of inflammation occurred after 2 weeks of treatment. Thus, rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis was effectively controlled through intraconal administration of amphotericin B, while avoiding exenteration. The intervention should be considered as an adjuvant treatment in selected rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis cases before attempting exenteration.

Abstract Recent studies showed that vision and hearing in dolphins are mechanisms for perception of the environment, and transmission of information among individuals. Considering that Guiana dolphins (Sotalia guianensis) are distributed in costal regions, and Clymene dolphins (Stenella clymene) are found in oceanic environments, the objective of this study was to compare the morphology of the eyes of these two species, assessing the differences in eye structures in both environments. Five specimens of Sotalia guianensis and four specimens of Stenella clymene were analyzed. All the specimens were found stranded in the northeastern coast of Brazil. Samples were fixated in 10% formaldehyde, dissected, photographed, processed, and analyzed by optical microscopy. The inferior palpebral region of the two species showed a granular layer, subcutaneous lymphoid tissue, and innervation. Morphometric values of the eyelid structures and eye bulb were greater in S. clymene. The cornea showed four layers in S. clymene: anterior epithelium, anterior lamina, stroma, and posterior lamina. The sclera of S. guianensis showed more melanocytes and presence of mechanoreceptors next to the Harderian gland. It is possible to suggest that the geographical distribution of these cetaceans determine their eye morphology, which is an adaptation to the intrinsic characteristics of the aquatic environment.

RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever as características maternas e obstétricas associadas à morbidade materna grave e os fatores do processo assistencial envolvidos nesses desfechos graves segundo enfermeiras e médicos. Método: Estudo misto sequencial em maternidade terciária no município do Rio de Janeiro, a partir de registros da assistência e entrevistas com esses profissionais, de fevereiro a julho de 2019. Aplicaram-se teste qui-quadrado, razão de prevalência e análise de conteúdo temática. Resultados: Em 66 (100%) mulheres, a pré-eclâmpsia grave (77,3%) foi mais prevalente e ocorreram 12 (18,2%) casos de near miss e um óbito materno. A hemorragia pós-parto (RP= 3,21; IC 95% 1,22-8,41) e realização de transfusões sanguíneas (RP= 3,60; IC 95% 1,81-7,16) contribuíram nos desfechos graves. Há deficiências no sistema de saúde, acesso à saúde reprodutiva e qualidade da assistência. Conclusão: Melhorias no acesso à saúde e qualidade do processo assistencial são imperiosas para reduzir os desfechos maternos graves.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the maternal and obstetric characteristics associated with severe maternal morbidity, and the factors of the assistance process involved in the severe outcomes according to nurses and doctors. Method: Sequential mixed study at the tertiary maternity in the city of Rio de Janeiro, based on care records and interviews with these professionals, from February to July 2019. Chi-square test, prevalence ratio and thematic content analysis were applied. Results: In 66 (100%) women with SMM, severe preeclampsia (77.3%) was more prevalent and there were 12 (18.2%) cases of near miss and one maternal death. Postpartum hemorrhage (PR = 3.21; 95% CI 1.22-8.41) and blood transfusions (PR = 3.60; 95% CI 1.81-7.16) contributed to severe outcomes. There are deficiencies in the health system, access to reproductive health and quality of care. Conclusion: Improvements in access to health and quality of the care process are imperative to reduce severe maternal outcomes.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Postpoliomyelitis syndrome is a clinical condition that can affect poliomyelitis survivors. OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to evaluate knowledge of poliomyelitis and postpoliomyelitis syndrome among Brazilian healthcare professionals. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study conducted at a Brazilian public higher education institution located in the state of Goiás. METHODS: The participants (n = 578) were Brazilian physicians, physical therapists, nurses, nutritionists and psychologists. A self-administered questionnaire (30 questions) was designed to probe knowledge about poliomyelitis and postpoliomyelitis syndrome. From the questionnaire, we created a structured test to objectively evaluate the knowledge of these professionals. The test was composed of 20 questions and was scored over a range from 0 (totally ill-informed) to 20 (totally well-informed). RESULTS: In general, the physicians, physical therapists and nurses demonstrated better understanding of poliomyelitis and postpoliomyelitis syndrome. The healthcare professionals who had received previous information about poliomyelitis and postpoliomyelitis syndrome had significantly higher scores than those who had never received information (P < 0.001). On average, this difference was approximately 28.6%. CONCLUSIONS: The findings from the present study indicate that there is a critical need for improvement of knowledge about postpoliomyelitis syndrome among Brazilian healthcare professionals. The services provided by these professionals may therefore become compromised. Furthermore, public healthcare initiatives should be implemented to improve knowledge among healthcare professionals.

RESUMO Plantas de cobertura podem proporcionar supressão de plantas daninhas e juntamente com o controle químico compor o manejo adequado de plantas daninhas nas áreas agrícolas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar o efeito do cultivo de plantas de cobertura durante a entressafra sobre o desenvolvimento de plantas daninhas em área de plantio direto. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados, com seis tratamentos e quatro repetições. Os tratamentos foram compostos das seguintes coberturas vegetais: 1. pousio (testemunha), 2. milheto (Pennisetum glaucum) + crotalárias (Crotalaria spectabilis + C. juncea + C. ochroleuca), 3. milheto + feijão-guandu (Cajanus cajans), 4. milheto + Urochloa ruziziensis, 5. milheto + Urochloa ruziziensis + feijão-guandu e 6. milheto + trigo mourisco (Fagopyrum esculentum). As avaliações foram realizadas aos 30, 75 e 225 dias após a semeadura (DAS) das plantas de cobertura. As principais plantas daninhas na área foram Cenchrus echinathus, Euphorbia heterophylla e Digitaria insularis. A área de pousio apresentou a maior quantidade, número de espécies e produção de matéria seca de plantas daninhas com densidade de 184 plantas m-2, 9,0 espécies e 527,8 g m-2 de matéria seca aos 225 DAS. Em todos os tratamentos com plantas de cobertura constatou-se que reduziu a densidade e a massa seca das plantas daninhas em comparação com o pousio, com média de 30 plantas m-2, 5,8 espécies m-1 e 7,9 g m-2 aos 225 DAS, respectivamente. Constata-se que o uso de plantas de cobertura é importante estratégia para o controle de plantas daninhas nas áreas agrícolas.

ABSTRACT Cover crops can provide suppression of weeds and together with chemical control make the proper management of weeds in agricultural areas. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of cover crop cultivation during the off-season on weed development in a no-tillage area. The experimental design was in randomized blocks scheme with six treatments and four replications. The treatments were: fallow (control), millet (Pennisetum glaucum) + crotalaria (Crotalaria spectabilis + C. juncea + C. ochroleuca), millet + pigeon pea (Cajanus cajans), millet + Urochloa ruziziensis, millet + Urochloa ruziziensis + pigeon pea and millet + buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum. The evaluations were done at 30, 75 and 225 days after sowing of the cover crops (DAS). The main growth weed species in the area were Cenchrus echinathus, Euphorbia heterophylla and Digitaria insularis. Fallow treatment showed greater number of weed species with density of 184 plants m-2, 9.0 species and with 527.8 g m-2 of dry matter mass at 225 DAS. In all treatments verified reduction in the density and mass of weeds dry matter compared to the fallow, with average of 30 plants m-2, 5.8 species and 7.9 g m-2 at 225 DAS, respectively. The use of cover crops is an important strategy for weed control in agricultural areas.

Abstract Aim: The aims of the present study were to verify the self-perception level of the chronotype of amateur street runners and to test the association between the chronotype, gender, age, and preferred training time. Methods: A total of 166 amateur street runners were included (♀ = 89, age 38.9 ± 11.2 years; ♂ = 77, age 38.0 ± 9.7 years). The Brazilian version of the Horne & östberg questionnaire was used to assess chronotypes and the preferred training time was determined through a multiple choice question. Based on chronotype definitions that suggest that when free to choose, morning-types (MT) would prefer training in the morning, evening-types (ET) in the evening and neither-types (NT) would not have a predilection for any specific time. The corroboration of this hypothesis was assumed as self-perception level of the chronotypes. Results: Women showed higher self-perception levels of their chronotype compared to men (58.4% vs. 41.6%; χ2 = 4.699; p = 0.030). By chronotypes, MT, NT, and ET self-perception levels were 73.9%, 15.9%, 88.9%, respectively (χ2 = 57.489; p < 0.001). The most observed women circadian typology was MT, while in men it was NT (χ2 = 8.951; p = 0.011). However, there was no significant association between gender and preferred training time (χ2 = 2.654; p = 0.265). Age, female gender and preference to exercise during the day are associated with MT. Conclusion: Women runners showed a greater perception of their circadian traits than men, despite there was no association between gender and preferred training time.

Abstract This article aims to present, discuss, and reflect upon Traffic Psychology from the perspective of some historical milestones in three different periods. The first period refers to the origins of the field in Brazil until the promulgation of the 1997 Brazilian Traffic Code. Then, it approaches the advances within the field, as well as its consolidation and contributions - which will be discussed in-depth in the third period, including the years from 2018 to 2021. The article also discusses aspects that have impacted the professional practice of Traffic psychologists, namely the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, the 3481 Direct Action of Unconstitutionality of the Supreme Court, and the 3267/19 Bill (Ordinary Law 14071/2020), transformed into the new Brazilian Traffic Code, published in 2020. This review reflects upon these new challenges, proposing alternatives for the field to adapt to the new demands and reality. With that, it seeks to stimulate reflections regarding possibilities for the field of Traffic Psychology, always grounded on an ethical and quality professional practice with the primary purpose of preserving lives.

ABSTRACT Purpose: To assess the biochemical, histological, histomorphometric and molecular effects of biliary duct ligation (BDL) induced liver cirrhosis in the heart and kidneys. Methods: Thirty-two weaning rats (21 days old, 50-70 g) underwent BDL and were divided in four groups (euthanasia after two, four, six, and eight weeks, respectively) and compared to control groups. Results: The animals’ hearts of group 3 were bigger than those of the control group (p=0.042), including thinner right ventricle wall, decreased internal diameter of ventricles, and increased perivascular collagen deposition in left ventricle, as well as increased interstitial collagen in right ventricle after six weeks. In the kidneys of groups 3 and 4, bilirubin impregnation in the tubules, hydropic degeneration, loss of nuclei and lack of plasmatic membrane limits were noted. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) gene expressions were higher in group 1 (p=0.008), and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene expressions were elevated in all experimental groups (p=0.008, p=0.001, p=0.022, and p=0.013, respectively). In the heart, a decreased expression of eNOS in group 1 (p=0.04) was observed. Conclusions: Liver cirrhosis leads to histological and histomorphometric alterations in the heart and kidneys, with changes in the NOS and eNOS gene expressions, that may suggest a role in the associated myocardial and renal manifestations.

Abstract The roadside hawk (Rupornis magnirostris) is a free-living bird that commonly has wing injuries caused by man-made obstacles when flying. Studies that describe the topographic anatomy of the wings of this species are necessary to assist in the treatment of possible wing lesions. For this reason, the present work aimed to describe the origin and insertion of the nerves that constitute the brachial plexus in roadside hawks. Five roadside hawk carcasses donated to the Animal Anatomy Laboratory of the São Judas University Center, UNIMONTE campus, by CEPTAS (Center for Research and Screening of Wild Animals) were used for the study. The brachial plexus of the roadside hawk was formed by the union of the ventral branches of the spinal nerves located between C9-C10-T1-T2-T3. The ventral branches joined together and formed four short trunks which later united again by exchanging nerve fibers and constituting a big caliber branch. This is divided into two nerve cords (dorsal and ventral) which are destined to specific muscular groupings. The dorsal cord originates the axillary, anconeal and radial nerves, and is responsible for innervating the extensor muscles. The ventral cord originates the pectoral, bicipital, median-ulnar, median and ulnar nerves, and is responsible for innervating the flexor muscles.

Abstract Aquaculture of cobia (Rachycentron canadum) is still incipient in Brazil, as well as the sale of its meat. However, there is a market demand for this product in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The salting process for the meat of cultivated cobia is a way of preserving and marketing the product for the growers. Thus, the present study aimed to assess the chemical properties of salted cobia meat. Market-sized cobia grown in net-tanks located in Baía de Ilha Grande, Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil were used. The fish were eviscerated (gutted), beheaded and lightly flattened. The fillets “charutos” were then subjected to brine salting for 6 days, immersed in saturated brine at refrigeration temperature. After the preparation of the product, analyzes of percent composition, chloride content and lipid profile were performed. The product had high concentrations of protein (20.16%), lipids (19.88%) and 6.56% of total chloride. Lipid profile assessment showed significant percentages of palmitic (6.66%) and oleic (4.99%) acids. Therefore, it is concluded that the salted meat of cobia has good nutritional quality, and the product is a source of palmitic and oleic acids that help preventing cardiovascular diseases and lowering cholesterol levels.
