ABSTRACT The Health Fund of the municipality of São Paulo has been discussed, highlighting the appropriation of its resources by the private sector, especially by Social Organizations (OS). To this end, the first part presents the more general foundations of the Public Fund. The second part analyzes the historical trajectory of the Municipal Health Fund and the use of its resources, to a large extent, to finance primary care, via the Family Health Program executed by the OS. The third part presents the characteristics of the OS, analyzing the evolution of the appropriation of resources of the Health Fund between 2011 and 2021. It can be seen that the Health Fund resources are increasingly appropriated by these private entities, with a growing trend, reaching a level of 89.2% of total resources in 2021. Thus, the movement of implicit mercantilization is verified, marked by the logic of expansion of market mechanisms in the municipal Unified Health System.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Social distancing has led to lifestyle changes among older adults during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence risk of sarcopenia (RS) and investigate its associated factors during the COVID-19 pandemic in older Brazilian adults. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional observational analysis of baseline data as part of the Remobilize Study. METHODS: Participants in the study were older adults (≥ 60 years), excluding those who were bedridden or institutionalized. The data collected consisted of answers about the RS (SARC-F), functional status, walking, sedentary behavior (SB), pain, comorbidity, and life space mobility. RESULTS: A total of 1,482 older adults (70 ± 8.14 years, 74% women) participated in the study, and an RS prevalence of 17.1% was found. (95% confidence interval [CI] 15.25–19.15%). The adjusted multivariate model showed a significant association between RS and functional limitation (odds ratio [OR]: 19.05; CI 13.00–28.32), comorbidity (OR: 5.11; CI 3.44–7.81), pain (OR: 4.56; CI 3.33–6.28), total walking (OR: 0.99; CI 0.99–1.00), SB of 8–10 hours (OR: 1.85; CI 1.15–2.93), and SB of > 10 hours (OR: 3.93; CI 2.48–6.22). RS was associated with mobility during the pandemic (OR: 0.97; CI 0.96–0.98). P < 0.05. CONCLUSIONS: During the pandemic, the prevalence of RS in older Brazilians was estimated at 17.1%. Moderate to severe functional limitation, comorbidities, presence of pain, walking, longer SB period, and reduced life space mobility significantly contributed to RS in older adults during the pandemic.

ABSTRACT Several studies have shown the importance of quantitative assessment in nasal patency and functional status of the upper airways to provide clinical and diagnostic information in oral breather individuals, which are of great interest to speech therapy. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of nasal saline solution irrigation on the upper airways through nasal aeration and active anterior rhinomanometry in oral breathing children. This was an eight case series study, carried out in children aged 7 to 10 years with an otorhinolaryngological clinical diagnosis of mouth breathing. The study consisted of three stages: (I) initial evaluation; (II) intervention; and (III) final evaluation. The questionnaires of the Index for the Identification of Oral Breathing Signs and Symptoms and disease-specific quality of life in pediatric patients with sinonasal complaints were applied, nasal aeration assessments and the anterior active rhinomanometry exam were carried out. The intervention was performed by irrigating nasal saline solution with 10ml. Afterwards, they were re-evaluated by nasal aeration evaluation and rhinomanometry to compare the results. Regarding nasal aeration and rhinomanometry evaluation, from the 16 comparative measurements between pre and post nasal irrigation, we obtained significant changes in nasal aeration and nasal resistance. Nasal irrigation resulted in improvement in nasal aeration measurements while nasal flow measurements from rhinomanometry remained unchanged considering pre and post nasal irrigation. individuals therapy 1 stages I (I II (II III (III diseasespecific disease specific applied 10ml ml Afterwards reevaluated re evaluated results resistance

Abstract: We aim to carry out a reflection on the challenges faced for the materialization of social policy in Brazil. We base ourselves on the readings of Rui Mauro Marini and Florestan Fernandes in understanding the Brazilian socio-economic formation. In our results, we highlight that the dependent condition, with the presence of bourgeois autocracy, diminishes the maintenance of the super-exploitation of the work force, and in the debasement of social policy to the detriment of capitalist accumulation.

The adjusted multivariate model showed a significant association between RS and functional limitation (odds ratio [OR]: 19.05; CI 13.00–28.32), comorbidity (OR: 5.11; CI 3.44–7.81), pain (OR: 4.56; CI 3.33–6.28), total walking (OR: 0.99; CI 0.99–1.00), SB of 8–10 hours (OR: 1.85; CI 1.15–2.93), and SB of > 10 hours (OR: 3.93; CI 2.48–6.22). RS was associated with mobility during the pandemic (OR: 0.97; CI 0.96–0.98). P < 0.05. CONCLUSIONS: During the pandemic, the prevalence of RS in older Brazilians was estimated at 17.1%. Moderate to severe functional limitation, comorbidities, presence of pain, walking, longer SB period, and reduced life space mobility significantly contributed to RS in older adults during the pandemic.

RESUMO Esse estudo objetivou investigar o efeito da manobra de limpeza e massagem nasal na permeabilidade da via aérea superior de crianças com respiração oral. Trata-se de um relato de caso no qual foram selecionadas oito crianças com idade entre 7 a 10 anos apresentando diagnóstico fonoaudiológico de respiração oral, com avaliação otorrinolaringológica e diagnóstico clínico de rinites. Realizou-se as avaliações da aeração nasal e permeabilidade nasal, utilizando o espelho milimetrado de Altmann e o Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow (PNIF), respectivamente. Em seguida, executou-se as manobras de limpeza e massagem nasal com soro fisiológico. Ao término, utilizou-se novamente o espelho de Altmann e o PNIF para comparar os resultados. Os resultados obtidos pelas medianas na quantificação da aeração nasal total foram significantes. Os dados da mensuração das cavidades nasais unilateralmente indicaram aumento acentuado na aeração nasal em cada narina, tendo diferenças estatisticamente significante quando comparados com os valores antes e depois das manobras de limpeza e massagem nasal. Os valores obtidos pelas medianas no Fluxo Nasal Máximo Inspiratório Total foram significantes após a limpeza. Concluiu-se que houve aumento da aeração nasal no fluxo nasal máximo inspiratório após manobra de limpeza.

ABSTRACT This study aimed at investigating the effects of nasal cleansing and massage maneuvers on upper airway patency in mouth-breathing children. This is a case report on eight children, aged 7 to 10 years, with a speech-language-hearing diagnosis of mouth breathing and otorhinolaryngological assessment and clinical diagnosis of rhinitis. Nasal airflow and patency were respectively assessed with the Glatzel mirror and Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow (PNIF). Then, they were submitted to nasal cleansing and massage maneuvers with a saline solution, followed by reassessment with the Glatzel mirror and PNIF to compare results. The medians of total nasal airflow quantification were significant. Data on unilateral nasal cavity measurement indicated a sharp increase in nasal airflow in each nostril, with statistically significant differences between before and after nasal cleansing and massage maneuvers. The medians of the total PNIF were significant after the cleansing. It is concluded that the nasal airflow increased in PNIF after the cleansing maneuver.

ABSTRACT We aimed to estimate genetic parameters for growth, reproductive, and carcass traits in Tabapuã cattle. Phenotypic data were collected between 1990 and 2019 in 1,218 farms, and the pedigree file had 340,868 animals. The traits evaluated were body weight at 120 (W120), 210 (W210), 365 (W365), and 550 (W550) days of age; age at first calving (AFC), scrotal circumference at 365 days of age (SC365), ribeye area (REA), backfat thickness (BF), and rump fat thickness (RF). The (co)variance components were estimated using the restricted maximum likelihood method, considering single and two-traits animal models. For all traits, the models considered fixed, direct additive genetic, and residual random effects. In addition, for W120 and W210, the maternal additive genetic and maternal permanent environmental effects were also included. Heritabilities for W120, W210, W365, W550, SC365, REA, BF, and RF were of moderate magnitude (0.15, 0.16, 0.23, 0.19, 0.22, 0.36, 0.31, and 0.27, respectively). Low heritability was observed for AFC (0.07). The genetic correlations between growth traits were higher than 0.90, while AFC and SC365 presented negative moderate correlation (−0.66). The REA showed low genetic correlations with BF (0.07) and RF (0.07), whereas BF and RF were highly correlated (0.77). Considering the heritability estimates, selection for AFC would result in limited genetic gain, while for the other traits, it would be satisfactory. Based on the high genetic correlations between growth traits, selection of Tabapuã animals can be performed at younger ages. Additionally, animals can be indirectly selected for AFC through SC365, and only one fat thickness trait may be used in the selection process considering the high genetic correlation and similar heritability values for BF and RF.

BACKGROUND Serological evidence of West Nile virus (WNV) infection has been reported in different regions of Brazil from equine and human hosts but the virus had never been isolated in the country. OBJECTIVES We sought to identify the viral etiology of equine encephalitis in Espírito Santo state. METHODS We performed viral culture in C6/36 cells, molecular detection of WNV genome, histopathology and immunohistochemistry from horse cerebral tissue. We also carried out sequencing, phylogenetic analysis and molecular clock. FINDINGS Histopathologic analysis from horse cerebral tissue showed injury related to encephalitis and WNV infection was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. The virus was detected by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) from brain tissue and subsequently isolated in C6/36 cells. WNV full-length genome was sequenced showing the isolated strain belongs to lineage 1a. The molecular clock indicated that Brazilian WNV strain share the same common ancestor that were circulating in US during 2002-2005. MAIN CONCLUSIONS Here we report the first isolation of WNV in Brazil from a horse with neurologic disease, which was clustered into lineage 1a with others US WNV strains isolated in beginning of 2000’s decade.

RESUMO Objetivo: quantificar a pressão de língua em crianças com respiração oral e descrever as suas manifestações clínicas respiratórias, comparando-as à avaliação objetiva. Métodos: o estudo foi realizado com 60 crianças de 04 a 09 anos de idades atendidas nos ambulatórios do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, distribuídas em dois grupos, com e sem respiração oral. A coleta constou do levantamento das manifestações clínicas respiratórias, da aplicação do protocolo sobre o modo respiratório e da avaliação da pressão de língua utilizando o Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI). Resultados: observou-se predominância do sexo masculino e correlação entre o diagnóstico clínico de rinite alérgica e/ou obstrução nasal com o diagnóstico clínico de Respiração oral. Houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos para posição habitual dos lábios entreabertos, boca aberta, flacidez dos músculos da expressão facial, narinas estreitas, lábio superior encurtado e inferior evertido. As médias das pressões de língua em crianças com respiração oral e nasal apresentaram médias de 38,27 Kpa e 53,73 Kpa, respectivamente. Conclusão: foi verificada diminuição da pressão de língua em crianças com respiração oral, corroborando com o que é referido na literatura. Houve concordância entre os resultados das características clínicas respiratórias com a avaliação objetiva.

ABSTRACT Objective: to quantify tongue pressure in children with oral breathing and to describe their respiratory clinical manifestations, comparing them to the objective evaluation Methods: the study was performed with 60 children, four to nine years old, treated at the outpatient clinics of the Pernambuco Clinical Hospital, Federal University of Pernambuco, distributed into two groups, with and without oral breathing. The collection consisted of a survey of respiratory clinical manifestations, application of the protocol on respiratory mode and assessment of tongue pressure, using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI). Results: male predominance and correlation between diagnosis of allergic rhinitis and/or nasal obstruction and the clinical diagnosis of oral breathing were observed. There was a statistically significant difference between the groups for usual position of open lips, open mouth, sagging facial expression muscles, narrow nostrils, shortened upper and everted lower lip. The mean tongue pressure in children with oral and nasal breathing presented a mean of 38.27 Kpa and 53.73 Kpa, respectively. Conclusion: tongue pressure decreased in children with oral breathing, corroborating that which is reported in the literature. There was agreement between the results of respiratory clinical characteristics and the objective evaluation.

Resumo: Neste artigo são apresentados os resultados obtidos a partir de uma sequência de atividades didáticas que envolveram o uso de estratégias de leitura e Textos de Divulgação Científica em aulas de Física da 2ª série do Ensino Médio. A sequência de atividades com Textos de Divulgação Científica teve o intuito de investigar os indícios de evolução dos alunos com relação à leitura e à argumentação. Constatou-se que o uso sistemático e recorrente dos Textos de Divulgação Científica nas aulas propiciou o desenvolvimento das habilidades relacionadas às expressões oral e escrita dos alunos. Ainda, percebeu-se que as tarefas propostas nas etapas de pré/durante/pós-leitura, para trabalhar os distintos textos, mostraram-se fundamentais para: promover a articulação entre o texto e o conteúdo de Física; envolver os alunos durante os processos de leitura e discussão do texto; avaliar o que os alunos sabiam antes e o que aprenderam depois de perpassar por cada etapa de leitura.

Abstract: This paper presents results from a sequence of educational activities that involve the use of reading strategies and popular science texts in physics classes of the 2nd year of High School. The activities sequence with popular science texts aiming to investigate the effect on the students' progress regarding to reading and argumentation. It was found that the systematic and repeated use of popular science texts in classes led to the development of skills related to oral and written expression of the students. It was also noticed that the proposed tasks of pre/during/post-reading stages were fundamental to promote the relationship between the text and the physics content. These tasks help to engage students during the process of reading and text discussion, as well as to evaluate what the students knew before and what they learned after the reading step.

BACKGROUND Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a worldwide public health problem. A characterisation of the differences in exposure sources among genders will enable improvements in surveillance actions. METHODS Exposure data were obtained for 1180 confirmed HCV cases Brazil’s mandatory reporting to epidemiological surveillance, which was directed by a reference laboratory in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Chi-square test (χ2) was used to assess the associations between exposure sources and gender. The prevalence ratio (PR) was calculated for exposures that showed an association. RESULTS The results showed 57.7% cases were female, and associations with snorting drugs, sexual activity, surgery, aesthetic procedures, blood transfusions, and educational level were observed (p < 0.001). Men showed 2.53 (1.33-3.57), 4.83 (3.54-6.59), and 2.18 (1.33-3.57) times more exposure to sniffing drugs, risky sex and higher levels of education, respectively, than women. Women demonstrated 4.46 (3.21-6.21), 1.94 (1.43-2.63), and 3.10 (2.09-4.61) times more exposure to surgery, aesthetic procedures, and blood transfusions, respectively, than men. CONCLUSION Our results showed differences in risk behaviours associated with gender among HCV carriers. These data are likely to significantly influence clinical practice regarding the adoption of specific approaches for counselling and control policies to prevent the emergence of new cases and break the chain of transmission of the virus.

Neste artigo, são analisadas as leituras de Textos de Divulgação Científica (TDC) feitas por licenciandas nas disciplinas de Estágio Supervisionado em Ensino de Física II e III. Os registros orais e escritos produzidos durante as atividades com TDC associados às estratégias de leitura, foram analisados à luz dos referenciais teóricos da Análise do Discurso de linha francesa e da área de Educação em Ciências. Constatou-se que, nos estágios de regência, foram valorizadas as leituras polissêmicas, sendo o texto-pretexto o modo de leitura exercitado nas aulas e o discurso apropriado pelas licenciandas tendeu ao polêmico. Além disso, nas pré-regências, a função atribuída aos TDC se restringiu ao uso do texto para ensinar Física. Nas regências, as atividades com TDC tiveram as funções de promover o desenvolvimento de habilidades relacionadas às expressões oral e escrita dos alunos, à articulação entre o conteúdo de Física e o cotidiano do aluno e despertar atitudes nos alunos. Por fim, infere-se que a proposta do uso de TDC, associado a estratégias de leitura em aulas de Física, é um caminho possível para a valorização das leituras polissêmicas, além de favorecer a formação dos sujeitos-leitores no contexto da formação inicial de professores e na escola.

This article analyzes the readings of Popular Science Texts (TDC) done by undergraduates in the disciplines of supervised internship in Physics Teaching II and III. Oral and written records produced during activities with TDC associated with reading strategies were analyzed according to the theoretical frameworks of the analysis of the French Discourse and Education area science. It was observed that polysemic readings were valued in the teaching stages, in which the text-pretext reading strategy was predominant in classes and the discourse used by the students tended to be controversial. Moreover, in the pre-teaching, the TDC function was restricted to the use of texts in order to teach physics. There was an improvement in classes since TDC included the development of oral expression and written skills on the part of students; the articulation between physics contents and learners' daily life; the awakening of interest and motivation due to curiosity on the part of students. Finally, it is inferred that employing TDCs associated to reading strategies in physics classes point to a possible way for the advancement of polysemic readings, besides encouraging the formation of subject-readers within the context of teachers' training and school.

ResumoO propósito deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito de suportes externos de tornozelo na propriocepção e equilíbrio dinâmico em atletas de voleibol. Dezessete atletas de voleibol (18,94±2,49 anos; 65,45±9,49 kg; 1,71±0,05 m; IMC=22,0±2,67 kg/m²) foram analisadas. O equilíbrio dinâmico foi avaliado por meio do Star Excursion Balance Test(SEBT). Comparações foram realizadas entre os modos de estabilização (Sem Estabilizador/SE, Órtese/ORT e Bandagem Funcional/BF) e as linhas da grade do SEBT e comparação inter-membros. A avaliação do SEBT mostrou diferença significativa entre os grupos (p < 0,01), SE x ORT e SE x BF e entre as linhas (p< 0,01), além de interação linha/membro, no MD e MND (p < 0,01). Os suportes externos testados (ORT e BF) se comportaram de forma semelhante, restringindo o alcance do membro inferior na execução do SEBT em algumas das direções testadas.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to assess the effect of ankle external supports on proprioception and dynamic balance in volleyball players. Seventeen female volleyball players (18.94±2.49 years; 65.45±9.49 kg; 1.71±0.05 m; BMI=22.0±2.67 kg/m²) took part in this study. The dynamic balance was assessed through the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT). Comparisons between stabilization (no stabilizer/NS, orthosis/ORT and functional bandaging/FB) modes and the SEBT grid lines and inter-limb were carried out. The SEBT assessment showed a significant difference between the groups NS x ORT and NS x FB (p < .01), and between the lines (p< .01). Significant line/limb interaction in DL and NDL (p< .01) was detected. The external supports tested herein showed similar effects on balance, restricting lower limb's reach in the SEBT execution in some of tested directions.

Evaluación del SEBT mostró una diferencia significativa entre los grupos (p< 0,01), SE x ORT, SE x BF y entre líneas (p < 0,01), además de la interacción línea/miembro en el MD y MND (p < 0,01). Los medios de estabilización externa probados (ORT x BF) se comportaron de manera similar, lo que restringe el alcance de las extremidades inferiores en la ejecución del SEBT en algunas de las direcciones probadas.

Contamination of enteral diets represents a high risk of compromising the patient's medical condition. To assess the microbiological quality and aseptic conditions in the preparation and administration of handmade and industrialized enteral diets offered in a hospital in the Valley of Jequitinhonha, MG, Brazil, we performed a microbiological analysis of 50 samples of diets and 27 samples of surfaces, utensils, and water used in the preparation of the diets. In addition, we assessed the good handling practices of enteral diets according to the requirements specified by the Brazilian legislation. Both kinds of enteral diets showed contamination by coliforms and Pseudomonas spp. No sample was positive for Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella spp. On the other hand, Listeria spp. was detected in only one sample of handmade diets. Contamination was significantly higher in the handmade preparations (p < 0.05). Nonconformities were detected with respect to good handling practices, which may compromise the diet safety. The results indicate that the sanitary quality of the enteral diets is unsatisfactory, especially handmade diets. Contamination by Pseudomonas spp. is significant because it is often involved in infection episodes. With regard to aseptic practices, it was observed the need of implementing new procedures for handling enteral diets.
