ABSTRACT Objectives: To analyze brain death (BD) notifications received by Central de Transplantes (CET) in the state of Roraima (RR) from 2017 to 2021. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, quantitative, and observational study, where all notifications received by CET from 2017 to 2021 were analyzed, resulting in 120 patients from health the following centers: Hospital Geral de Roraima (HGR), Hospital Confederação Nacional das Cooperativas Médicas (UNIMED), Hospital da Criança Santo Antônio (HCSA), Hospital das Clínicas (HC), and Hospital Lotty Íris (HLI). The data were collected from the center’s data management system and passed on to the collection form developed by the researcher. Results: This study analyzed 119 notifications after excluding one due to conflicting data. There was a predominance of males (58%), with traumatic brain injury being the most frequent cause of BD. Six organ harvestings were carried out, all at the HGR. This study found no significant associations between organ procurement and sex, age, place of hospitalization, and year. Conclusion: There are considerable challenges concerning organ donation in RR, with a low uptake rate over five years. Only the HGR successfully carried out organ harvesting, while other reporting hospitals were unsuccessful. Improvements are needed, highlighting the importance of more studies for a more in-depth data analysis.

RESUMO Objetivos: Analisar as notificações de morte encefálica (ME) recebidas pela Central de Transplantes (CET) do estado de Roraima (RR) de 2017 a 2021. Métodos: Trata-se de estudo transversal, quantitativo e observacional no qual foram analisadas todas as notificações recebidas pela CET no período de 2017 a 2021, resultando em 120 pacientes, dos seguintes centros de saúde: Hospital Geral de Roraima (HGR), Hospital Confederação Nacional das Cooperativas Médicas (UNIMED), Hospital da Criança Santo Antônio (HCSA), Hospital das Clínicas (HC) e Hospital Lotty Íris (HLI). Os dados foram coletados do sistema de gerenciamento de dados da central e repassados para a ficha de coleta desenvolvida pela pesquisadora. Resultados: Este estudo analisou 119 notificações após a exclusão de uma devido a dados conflitantes. Houve predominância do sexo masculino (58%), com trauma cranioencefálico sendo a causa mais frequente de ME. Ao todo, foram realizadas seis captações de órgãos, todas no HGR. Este estudo não encontrou associações significativas entre a captação de órgãos e sexo, idade, local de internação e ano. Conclusão: Há grandes desafios em relação à doação de órgãos em RR, com uma taxa de captação baixa ao longo de 5 anos. Apenas o HGR obteve sucesso em realizar captações de órgãos, diferentemente de outros hospitais notificadores. São necessárias melhorias, destacando a importância de se realizarem mais estudos para uma análise mais aprofundada dos dados.

Abstract This study evaluated surface roughness, color stability, whitening index, and opacity of different types of modeling liquids for resin composite coating after exposure to staining and toothbrushing. Disc-shaped resin composite (Vittra APS, FGM) specimens were fabricated and divided into four groups (n = 10 each): control group, Composite Wetting resin (Ultradent Products), Adper Scotchbond Multipurpose adhesive (3M ESPE), and Adper Universal adhesive (3M ESPE). Surface roughness (Ra) was measured using a rugosimeter, while color stability (∆E00), whitening index (WI), and opacity (%) were measured using a spectrophotometer. Assessments were made at four time points: after polishing (baseline, T1), after immersion in red wine for 24 h (T2), and after 5,000 (T3) and 10,000 (T4) cycles of toothbrushing. Scanning electron microscopy images were captured to analyze the scratches created. The data were statistically analyzed by two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance and Tukey’s honestly significant difference tests (α = .05). Modeling with the Wetting resin resulted in higher surface roughness (p < 0.05) and low color stability, which were attributable to porosities. Higher color change values were observed in the control group after staining. Both adhesives showed the lowest mean ΔE00 values (p < 0.005). WI decreased after staining, except with the use of the Universal adhesive (p < 0.005). The lowest opacity values were observed at baseline for all groups (p < 0.005). The Universal and Scotchbond adhesives had lower surface roughness, better color stability, higher WI, and the lowest opacity values after staining with red wine and toothbrushing. toothbrushing Discshaped Disc shaped Vittra APS FGM n 1 each each) Ultradent Products, Products , Products) 3M M ESPE, ESPE ESPE) ESPE. .

Abstract Ticks parasitizing 102 wild animals in the states of Mato Grosso and Goiás, Brazil were collected between 2015 and 2018. A total of 2338 ticks (865 males, 541 females, 823 nymphs, and 109 larvae) belonging to four genera (Amblyomma, Dermacentor, Haemaphysalis, and Rhipicephalus) and at least 21 species were identified. DNA extraction and a molecular survey for rickettsial agents were performed on 650 ticks. The results revealed parasitism by the following species: Rickettsia amblyommatis in Amblyomma cajennense s.s., A. cajennense s.l., Amblyomma coelebs, Amblyomma humerale, Amblyomma longirostre, Amblyomma nodosum, Amblyomma scalpturatum, Amblyomma sculptum, and Amblyomma romitii; Rickettsia parkeri in Amblyomma nodosum, Amblyomma ovale, Amblyomma scalpturatum, and Amblyomma triste; Rickettsia rhipicephali in Haemaphysalis juxtakochi; Rickettsia sp. in A. cajennense s.s., A. nodosum, and A. sculptum, and lastly, ‘Candidatus Rickettsia andeanae’ in Amblyomma parvum and Rhipicephalus microplus. This study expands the body of knowledge about tick parasitism among wild animals, including new data concerning tick-host associations, and provides information about the epidemiology of tick-borne pathogens in the Center-West region of Brazil.

ABSTRACT In 2022, an outbreak of monkeypox is being reported in non-endemic areas, with unusual clinical manifestations. The detailed clinical description of the first patient that received the diagnosis of monkeypox in Brazil is reported here, whose clinical manifestations can easily lead to misdiagnosis of sexually transmitted infections. A 41 years old male presented to an emergency room with a vesicular rash with eight days of evolution. He had traveled to Portugal and Spain and reported non-penetrative sexual involvement with three different male individuals. On the third day of symptoms, he sought medical care and received empirical treatment directed to sexually transmitted infections. As the symptoms did not improve, he sought medical attention at an infectious disease referral center presenting, on admission, an ulcerated penile lesion with central necrotic crusts, a disseminated pleomorphic skin rash and an oropharyngeal ulcer. The monkeypox diagnosis was suspected due to the characteristics of the lesions and the history of intimate contact with casual partners, and it was later confirmed by sequencing the almost complete monkeypox genome. The patient was hospitalized for pain control, which required opiate administration. He developed a secondary bacterial infection on the penile lesions, which were treated with oral antibiotics. He was discharged after 14 days, with lesions in process of re-epithelialization. Given the current outbreak, we must consider the possibility of monkeypox in patients with suggestive lesions, anywhere on the body (including the genitals), added to an epidemiological link or history of intimate contact with strangers or casual partners.

Resumo A infecção por Neospora caninum é considerada uma das principais causas de aborto entre bovinos. Esta pesquisa foi realizada no município de Rolim de Moura, estado de Rondônia, Brasil. Um questionário que investiga os aspectos epidemiológicos da neosporose foi utilizado na análise dos fatores de risco associados à prevalência em animais e em rebanhos. Um total de 416 amostras de sangue bovino foi colhido em 30 fazendas, e os níveis de anticorpos de N. caninum foram mensurados pela reação de Imunofluorescência Indireta (RIFI). A análise das amostras mostrou prevalência de anticorpos contra N. caninum de 47,36% (n = 197). Os fatores de risco associados à infecção por N. caninum foram o sistema de manejo e os locais de acesso dos cães. Os resultados da presente pesquisa indicam que a infecção de bovinos leiteiros com N. caninum está disseminada na região estudada da Amazônia Ocidental, o que tem implicações para a prevenção e controle da neosporose nessa região. Portanto, estratégias e medidas de controle integrado são recomendadas para prevenir e controlar a infecção por N. caninum em gado leiteiro. Além disso, o contato íntimo entre gado leiteiro, cães e animais selvagens, pode influenciar a epidemiologia da neosporose e deve ser investigada mais detalhadamente.

Abstract Neospora caninum is considered to be one of the main causes of abortion among cattle. The present survey was conducted in the municipality of Rolim de Moura, Rondônia State, Brazil. A questionnaire that investigates the epidemiological aspects of neosporosis was used in the analysis of risk factors associated with the animal-level and herd-level prevalence in dairy cattle. A total of 416 bovine blood samples were collected from 30 farms, and N. caninum antibody levels were measured by Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Test (IFAT). Analysis of dairy cattle serum samples revealed the presence of anti-N. caninum antibodies to be 47.36% (n = 197). Risk factors associated with N. caninum infection were the management system and access locations of dogs. The results of the present survey indicated that infection of dairy cattle with N. caninum is widespread in the studied region of Western Amazon, which has implications for prevention and control of neosporosis in this region. Therefore, integrated control strategies and measures are recommended to prevent and control N. caninum infection in dairy cattle. In addition, direct contact between dairy cattle, dogs and wild animals, which can influence the epidemiology of neosporosis, should be investigated further.

Abstract: This study aimed to assess the survival of glass ionomer cement (GIC) restorations performed using the atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) in elderly patients. The systematic review protocol was registered in the PROSPERO database. The records were searched until August 2020 in eight electronic bibliographic databases, and included randomized and non-randomized clinical trials and observational studies, with no restrictions on the language or year of publication. Study selection and data extraction were performed independently by two reviewers. Data were extracted, summarized, collected for qualitative analysis, and evaluated for individual risk of bias using the Joanna Briggs Institute's Critical Appraisal Tool. The literature search retrieved 5,186 records; however, only seven studies fulfilled the eligibility criteria and were included. The studies were published between 2002 and 2019. A total of 1,239 restorations were investigated at intervals of 6, 12, 24, and 60 months of follow-up. Some studies had a low risk of bias, while others had moderate and high risk of bias. In general, GIC restorations placed using ART were considered satisfactory. The 6-month, 12-month, and 24-month survival rates ranged from 81.3% to 97.2%, 72.2% to 94%, and 63% to 87%, respectively; additionally, the survival rate for the longest follow-up period (60 months) was 85%. Given the best evidence-based information regarding caries removal, we highlight the need to provide a conservative and effective technique for use in elderly patients. ART is a promising and viable alternative that guarantees the survival of restorations in elderly patients.

Abstract The presence of residues within the root canal after post-space preparation can influence the bond strength between resin cement and root dentin when using fiberglass posts (FGPs). Currently, there is no consensus in the literature regarding what is the best solution for the removal of debris after post-space preparation. This systematic review involved “in vitro” studies to investigate if cleaning methods of the root canal after post-space preparation can increase the retention of FGPs evaluated by the push-out test. Searches were carried out in PubMed (MEDLINE) and Scopus databases up to July2017. English language studies published from 2007 to July 2017 were selected. 475 studies were found, and 9 were included in this review. Information from the 9 studies were collected regarding the number of samples, storage method after extraction, root canal preparation, method of post-space preparation, endodontic sealer, resin cement, cleaning methods after post-space and presence of irrigant activation. Five studies presented the best results for the association of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA), while in the other 4 studies, the solutions that showed improved retention of FGPs were photon-induced photoacoustic streaming (PIPS), Qmix, Sikko and EDTA. The results showed heterogeneity in all comparisons due to a high variety of information about cleaning methods, different concentrations, application time, type of adhesive system and resin cements used. In conclusion, this review suggests that the use of NaOCl/EDTA results in the retention of FGPs and may thus be recommended as a post-space cleaning method influencing the luting procedure.

Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar o retorno da atividade ovariana puerperal de cabras leiteiras suplementadas com diferentes níveis de energia durante o período seco do semiárido pernambucano. Foram utilizados 24 animais divididos em quatro tratamentos, com seis réplicas cada: Grupo Controle , formado por cabras que tiveram acesso apenas ao pasto e receberam 4 kg de palma in natura; e três grupos com suplementação, feita com concentrados isoprotéicos, com 20% PB, variando o teor de NDT em 65%, 75% e 85%. A produção diaria de leite apresentou um comportamento de crescimento linear (P < 0,05) a partir do 35º dia pós-parto, os animais exibiram retomada do ganho de peso e escore corporal por volta dos 14 º e 21º dias pós-parto, respectivamente, com ligeiro ganho de peso total nos tratamentos 75% e 85%. Dentre os parametros reprodutivos, a involução uterina e o retorno ao estro, apresentaram um decrecimo do numero de dias com o aumento do nivel de energia (P<0,05). Já o surgimento do 1º folículo > 2 mm, ocorreu por volta do 33º dia pós-parto e o diametro médio máximo do foliculo pre-ovulatório foi de 5,41mm, todavianão foram influenciados pelos tratamentos (P>0,05). Conclui-se que a suplementação com níveis de energia, promoveu efeito positivo, como o aumento dos parâmetros produtivos e redução do número de dias pós-parto para o restabelecimento dos parâmetros reprodutivos: a involução uterina, retorno ao estro e consequentemente retorno da atividade ovariana pós-parto.

This study aimed to evaluate the return of post partum ovarian activity in dairy goats supplemented with different levels of energy during the dry period in the semi-arid region of Pernambuco. Twenty-four animals were allocated into four treatments of six animals each: Control, consisting of goats that had access to pasture and only received 4 kg of fresh palm, and three groups with isoproteic supplementation (20% Crude Protein), ranging in TDN content of 65%, 75% and 85%. The daily milk yield showed a linear growth behavior (P <0.05) since day 35th postpartum, when the animals recovered the weight gain and body condition score after 14 and 21 days postpartum, respectively, with slight weight gain in 75% and 85% treatments. Among the reproductive parameters, uterine involution and return to estrus activity showed a decrease in the number of days associated with the higher energy levels (P <0.05). The emergence of the 1st follicles > 2 mm occurred around 33 days postpartum and the maximum diameter of the pre-ovulatory follicle was 5,41mm. These results were not influenced by treatments (P> 0.05). We concluded that the supplementation with different levels of energy promoted a positive effect, as increased productive parameters and reduced the number of days for the reestablishment of the reproductive parameters postpartum; for instance, uterine involution, return to estrus and consequently return of ovarian activity postpartum.

The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of toothbrushing with desensitizing toothpastes on dentin permeability and dentinal tubule occlusion. Fifty rats provided two hundred incisor teeth divided into five groups: DW, brushed with distilled water (control); FT, brushed with fluoride toothpaste; SCT, brushed with strontium chloride toothpaste; PCT, brushed with potassium citrate toothpaste; and PNT, brushed with potassium nitrate toothpaste. Cavities were prepared to expose the dentinal tubules, and the incisor teeth were brushed using the experimental agents. After each treatment, Evans blue dye solution was applied to the teeth. Dentin permeability was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-rays (EDX). There were significant differences (p < 0.0001, ANOVA) among the groups regarding dentin permeability, number of dentinal tubules, diameter of dentinal tubules, and opened tubular area. In the SCT, PCT and PNT groups, opened and partially occluded tubules, deposits, and a few smear layers were observed. In the DW and FT groups, most of the dentinal tubules were open, with no deposits or smear layers on the dentin. EDX revealed peaks of calcium and phosphorus in all of the groups, as well as traces of strontium in the SCT group and of potassium in the PCT and PNT groups. Desensitizing toothpaste decreased dentin permeability, although it produced only partial dentin tubule occlusion.

Como parte do seu projeto de expansão, a Universidade Federal de Viçosa criou um curso de graduação em Medicina que, pautado nas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais, busca a inserção precoce dos estudantes na rede de Atenção Básica. A integração da escola ao serviço público, assim como a preocupação com a formação de recursos humanos com senso de responsabilidade social, compromisso com a cidadania e aptos a atender às necessidades concretas da população e operacionalizar o Sistema Único de Saúde estiveram no centro do processo de criação desse curso. A abertura do curso foi autorizada pelo Ministério da Educação e, concomitantemente, foi aprovada a criação de um grupo do Programa de Educação pelo Trabalho para a Saúde (PET-Saúde). Nesse cenário de múltiplos desafios que representa a criação de um novo curso de Medicina em uma universidade pública tradicional, pautado nas DCNs e a partir de um currículo integrado, (re)pensar as experiências iniciais vivenciadas pelos atores sociais protagonistas do PET-Saúde/UFV é o propósito deste relato de experiência.

As part of its expansion plan, the Federal University in Viçosa created its School Of Medicine. Based on the Brazilian National Curriculum guidelines, the course seeks early integration of students into the primary care network. Central concerns in creating the course included integration of the school with public healthcare services and training of human resources with a sense of social responsibility, commitment to citizenship, and skills for serving the population's needs and operationalizing the Unified National Health System. The school was accredited by the Ministry of Education, with simultaneous approval for a project under the Educational Program for Health Work (PET-Saúde). This case report analyzes the multiple challenges of creating a new school of medicine in a traditional public university, based on the National Curriculum guidelines and an integrated curriculum, (re)thinking the initial experiences of the protagonists in the Educational Program for Health Work (PET-Saúde/UFV).
