ABSTRACT Objective Patients with cancer often undergo multiple extended treatments that decrease their quality of life. However, the quality of life of women with breast cancer after they undergo treatment remains underexplored in Brazil. Therefore, this study determined sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical factors related to the post-treatment quality of life of women with breast cancer. Methods This cross-sectional study involved 101 women diagnosed with breast cancer between 2014 and 2016 and treated at a Brazilian Oncology Reference Service. Data were collected from them using face-to-face surveys. Quality of life was evaluated using the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) and EORTC Breast Cancer-specific Quality of Life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-BR23). The data collected were analyzed using Student’s t-test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results The median score on the global health, functional, and symptom scales of the EORTC QLQ-C30 was 75.00 (Interquartile range=33.33), 75.99 (Standard deviation [SD]=19.26), and 19.67 (SD=16.91), respectively. The mean score on the functional and symptom scales of the EORTC QLQ-BR23 was 61.89 (SD=17.21) and 20.12 (SD=16.94), respectively. Furthermore, higher post-treatment quality of life was found to be associated with being aged 50 or more, being Black, having eight or more years of education, having a partner, having a paying job, receiving treatment from the private healthcare system, having a higher income, living in the municipality where healthcare services are availed, engaging in physical activity, not smoking, being more religious, having more social support, not being overweight, having no comorbidities, and undergoing lumpectomy. Conclusion Sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical factors significantly impact the quality of life of women who undergo breast cancer treatment. Implementing interventions that improve health and reducing inequalities in the access to healthcare services can improve the quality of life of these patients.

ABSTRACT Objective: To characterize the environmental factors of children and adolescents with Cerebral Palsy (CP) in the state of Minas Gerais (MG), Brazil. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study involving 164 caregivers of children/adolescents with CP, aged 1-14 years. The Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) were used to classify the participants’ functioning, and environmental factors were evaluated by an on-line questionnaire that examined products and technologies, physical environment, services, and systems. A descriptive analysis was performed using percentage and frequency. Results: Most participants had bilateral CP (66.9%) and 45% of them were spastic. Levels II and V of the GMFCS and MACS were the most frequent. About half (49.4%) used anticonvulsants, 27.4% underwent botulinum toxin application, and 29% went through orthopedic surgery in the lower limbs. Among the participants, 71.3% used orthoses in the lower limbs, and 51.8% used the public health care system. Most had access to physiotherapy (91.5%), but found difficulties to access interventions with other professionals, such as psychologists (28%) and nutritionists (37.8%). The school was the most frequently adapted environment (78%), and had the highest level of structural adaptation (42.7%). Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that the barriers to access health services and barriers to the physical environment may impact participation and social inclusion.

ABSTRACT Background: Women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (WLWH) are more likely to be infected with the oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV). We assessed the prevalence of high-risk (HR) (16/18/31/33/35/39/45/51/52/56/58/59/68/73/82), probable high-risk (pHR) (26/53/66), and low-risk (LR) (6/11/40/42/43/44/54/61/70) HPV types and their associated risk factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study of WLWH aged 18-64 years included one laboratory and eight HIV-specialty healthcare facilities in the pilot network. Descriptive statistics were used to assess sociodemographic and behavioral characteristics. Adjusted analyses were conducted to evaluate risk factors associated with HR and/or pHR HPV infection in WLWH. Results: From May/2021 to May/2022, 1,914 (92.5%) WLWH participated in the pilot study and had valid HPV-DNA results of self-collected vaginal samples. The median age of the participants was 45 years, 60.1% had ≥ 9 years of schooling, 80.5% were ≤ 18 years at first sexual intercourse, and 51.7% had > 4 sexual partners throughout life. The prevalence of any HPV type, HR HPV, pHR HPV, and LR HPV was 65.8%, 49.6%, 16.7%, and 40.0%, respectively. Age was inversely associated with pHR and/or HR-HPV (p < 0.001), and education level was inversely associated with HR-HPV (p = 0.003) types. Any HR or pHR was associated with being single (p = 0.029) and exchanging sex for drugs (p = 0.037). Conclusions: The prevalence of HPV, especially HR HPV, among WLWH is high in Brazil, highlighting the need for HPV screening in this population. Self-collection of vaginal samples is an important strategy for increasing testing access. Background HIV (HIV (WLWH HPV. .

Resumo Objetivo O presente estudo buscou caracterizar o perfil clínico, histológico e imunohistoquímico de mulheres com câncer de mama invasivo segundo o risco para a Síndrome de Predisposição Hereditária ao Câncer de Mama e Ovário em uma população brasileira. Métodos Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo realizado a partir de uma coorte hospitalar composta por 522 mulheres diagnosticadas com câncer de mama entre 2014 e 2016 assistidas em um centro de referência oncológica localizado na região sudeste brasileira. Resultados Entre as 430 mulheres diagnosticadas com câncer de mama invasivo que compuseram a população de estudo, 127 (29,5%) foram classificadas como de risco aumentado para a síndrome de predisposição hereditária ao câncer de mama e ovário. Verificou-se menor nível de escolaridade nas pacientes com risco aumentado (34,6%) quando comparadas àquelas consideradas como de risco habitual (46,0%). Quanto às características do tumor, as mulheres de risco aumentado apresentaram maiores percentuais de doença diagnosticada em estádio avançado (32,3%) e com tumores > 2cm (63,0%), com prevalência aumentada para ambas as características, quando comparadas àquelas de risco habitual. Ainda nas mulheres de risco aumentado, foram encontrados maiores percentuais de GH3 (43,3%) e Ki-67 ≥ 25% (64,6%), com prevalência cerca de duas vezes maior neste grupo. A presença de tumores triplo-negativos foi observada em 25,2% nas mulheres de risco aumentado e 6,0% nas mulheres de risco habitual, com prevalência de ausência de biomarcadores 2,5 vezes maior entre as mulheres do grupo de risco aumentado. Conclusão A partir dos critérios clínicos rotineiramente utilizados no diagnóstico do câncer de mama, a prática assistencial do aconselhamento genético para as pacientes com risco aumentado de câncer de mama hereditário em contextos como o do Brasil ainda é escarça.

Abstract Objective The study aimed to characterize the clinical, histological, and immunohistochemical profile of women with invasive breast cancer, according to the risk for Hereditary Predisposition Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome in a Brazilian population. Methods This is a retrospective study performed from a hospital-based cohort of 522 women, diagnosed with breast cancer treated at an oncology referral center in the Southeast region of Brazil, between 2014 and 2016. Results Among the 430 women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer who composed the study population, 127 (29.5%) were classified as at increased risk for hereditary predisposition to breast and ovarian cancer syndrome. There was a lower level of education in patients at increased risk (34.6%) when compared with those at usual risk (46.0%). Regarding tumor characteristics, women at increased risk had higher percentages of the disease diagnosed at an advanced stage (32.3%), and with tumors > 2cm (63.0%), with increased prevalence for both characteristics, when compared with those at usual risk. Furthermore, we found higher percentages of HG3 (43.3%) and Ki-67 ≥ 25% (64.6%) in women at increased risk, with prevalence being about twice as high in this group. The presence of triple-negative tumors was observed as 25.2% in women at increased risk and 6.0% in women at usual risk, with the prevalence of absence of biomarkers being 2.5 times higher among women in the increased risk group. Conclusion From the clinical criteria routinely used in the diagnosis of breast cancer, the care practice of genetic counseling for patients at increased risk of hereditary breast cancer in contexts such as Brazil is still scarce.

Resumo Objetivo avaliar a relação entre sintomas psicopatológicos e a situação laboral de profissionais de enfermagem da Região Sudeste do Brasil, no contexto da pandemia da COVID-19. Método estudo observacional e transversal com coleta de dados virtual e por meio de snowball nos meses de abril a julho de 2020. Aplicou-se um questionário contendo dados sociodemográficos, laborais e a escala de avaliação de sintomas psicopatológicos (psicoticismo, obsessividade/compulsividade, somatização e ansiedade). Foram utilizadas estatísticas descritivas e inferenciais para a análise dos dados. Resultados entre os 532 participantes, verificou-se relação entre carga horária de trabalho semanal e psicoticismo. Todos os domínios da escala associaram-se ao constrangimento e/ou violência no percurso de trabalho e recebimento de suporte psicológico/emocional da instituição onde o indivíduo trabalha/estuda. Conclusão a faixa etária, carga horária elevada, violência vivenciada e falta de suporte psicológico durante a pandemia associaram-se com o aumento dos sintomas psicopatológicos entre os profissionais de enfermagem. Sugere-se a criação de diretrizes institucionais voltadas ao acolhimento e acompanhamento dessas demandas.

Abstract Objective to evaluate the relationship between psychopathological symptoms and the work situation of nursing professionals in the Southeast Region, Brazil, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Method an observational and cross-sectional study with virtual and snowball data collection from April to July 2020. A questionnaire containing socio-demographic and labor data and the psychopathological symptoms assessment scale (psychoticism, obsessiveness/compulsivity, somatization, and anxiety) were applied. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Results among the 532 participants, there was a relationship between weekly workload and psychoticism. All domains of the scale were associated with embarrassment and/or violence in the course of work and receiving psychological/emotional support from the institution where the individual works/studies. Conclusion the age group, heavy workload, experienced violence and lack of psychological support during the pandemic were associated with increased psychopathological symptoms among nursing professionals. It is suggested the creation of institutional guidelines aimed at the reception and follow-up of these demands.

Abstract Objective Assess patients submitted to elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia, and the efficacy of different doses of fentanyl associated with bupivacaine. Methods The study included 124 pregnant women randomly distributed into 4 groups (n = 31) according to different doses of fentanyl (15 µg, 10 µg, 7.5 µg), Groups I, II, and III, respectively, and control group IV, associated with 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (10 mg). An epidural catheter was inserted in case epidural top-up was required. We assessed the anesthetic blockage characteristics, negative maternal and neonatal outcomes, and maternal side effects. Statistical analysis was performed using Kruskal-Wallis, Fisher’s exact and chi-square tests. The level of significance was 5% (p< 0.05). Results The quality of analgesia, time for the first complaint of pain and motor block recovery time were significantly better for groups that received fentanyl in comparison to controls (p< 0.001). None of the groups had negative maternal-fetal outcomes. Nausea was significantly more frequent in patients in Groups II (10 µg) and III (7.5 µg) when compared to Groups I (15 µg) and IV (no fentanyl). Vomiting was more frequent in Group III than in Group I (p= 0.006). The incidence of pruritus was significantly higher in the groups receiving fentanyl (p= 0.012). Conclusions Among the solutions studied, the spinal anesthesia technique using 15 µg of fentanyl associated with 10 mg of hyperbaric bupivacaine provided satisfactory analgesia and very low incidence of adverse effects for patients submitted to cesarean section.

Resumen El uso de fuentes de energía renovable, como los aceites vegetales, aceite de coco babasú (Orbignya speciosa Mart.) extraído industrialmente y manualmente, tiene ventajas económicas y ambientales. En este escenario, el presente trabajo presenta la producción y caracterización del aceite de coco babasú extraído industrialmente y manualmente y el biodiésel. Los biocombustibles se obtuvieron por transesterificación alcalina, utilizando hidróxido de potasio y metanol. La caracterización se realizó mediante infrarrojo con transformada de Fourier (FTIR), viscosidad cinemática, densidad, cenizas sulfatadas, índice de acidez, punto de fluidez, punto de inflamación y cromatografía de gases. Según los resultados, los espectros FTIR mostraron una absorción característica del éster, los estiramientos de enlace C=O (1704 cm-1 y 1742 cm-1) y C-O (1112 cm-1 y 1111 cm-1). Los resultados de las pruebas de viscosidad cinemática, densidad, índice de acidez, punto de fluidez y punto de inflamación se ajustaron a los límites establecidos por la ANP, Resolución nº 45/2014. La cromatografía de gases mostró el predominio de ésteres metílicos derivados de los ácidos láurico (C12:0), mirístico (C14:0) y palmítico (C16:0). Así, el aceite de coco y el aceite de coco babasú extraído industrialmente y manualmente resultaron viables para la producción de biodiésel, presentándose como una potencial materia prima para el sector de biocombustibles, dado el volumen expresivo de las plantaciones de babasú en el estado de Maranhão.

Abstract The use of renewable energy sources, such as vegetable oils like babassu coconut (Orbignya speciosa Mart.) oil extracted industrially and manually, has economic and environmental advantages. In this scenario, the present work presents the production and characterization biodiesel of babassu coconut oil extracted industrially and manually. Biofuels were obtained by alkaline transesterification, using potassium hydroxide and methanol. The characterization was performed by infrared with Fourier transform (FTIR), kinematic viscosity, density, sulphated ash, acidity index, pour point, flash point and gas chromatography. According to the results, the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy FTIR spectra showed characteristic absorption of esters, the C=O bond stretches (1704 cm-1 and 1742 cm-1) and C-O (1112 cm-1 and 1111 cm-1). The results of the kinematic viscosity, density, acidity index, pour point and flash point tests were in compliance with the limits established by the ANP, Resolution no. 45/2014. The gas chromatography showed the predominance of methyl esters derived from lauric (C12:0), miristic (C14:0) and palmitic (C16:0) acids. Thus, babassu coconut oil extracted industrially and manually proved to be viable for the production of biodiesel, presenting itself as a potential raw material for the biofuel sector, given the significant volume of babassu plantations in the state of Maranhão.

Resumo A utilização de fontes renováveis de energia, como os óleos vegetais, a exemplo o óleo e azeite de coco babaçu (Orbignya speciosa Mart.), apresentam vantagens econômicas e ambientais. Neste cenário, o presente trabalho apresenta a produção e caracterização do biodiesel de óleo e azeite de coco babaçu. Os biocombustíveis foram obtidos por transesterificação alcalina, utilizando-se hidróxido de potássio e metanol. A caracterização foi realizada por infravermelho com transformada de Fourier (FTIR), viscosidade cinemática, densidade, cinzas sulfatadas, índice de acidez, ponto de fluidez e ponto de fulgor e cromatografia gasosa. De acordo com os resultados, os espectros de FTIR apresentaram absorções características de ésteres, os estiramentos da ligação C=O (1704 cm-1 e 1742 cm-1) e C-O (1112 cm-1 e 1111 cm-1).

Resumo No contexto de emergência da pandemia causada pela covid-19, o objetivo deste ensaio é refletir sobre as relações homem-poder-violência a partir das concepções de Hannah Arendt, problematizando o conceito normalizado de masculinidade hegemônica e buscando compreender o aumento de violência doméstica contra a mulher. Buscamos desconstruir a ideia de que existe um único modelo de masculinidade hegemônica que propõe uma dominação global dos homens sobre as mulheres, uma vez que mulheres também apresentam aspectos de masculinidade, sendo uma construção histórico-social que se transforma continuamente. Assim, diante das reformas históricas de gênero acrescidas da instabilidade provocada pela pandemia da covid-19, observa-se o aumento da violência domiciliar como efeito da diminuição do poder patriarcal, na tentativa de estabilizar o modelo de masculinidade definido por esse poder patriarcal, ou tenta-se reconstituí-lo (ressignificá-lo) em novas configurações.

Abstract In the context of the emergence of the pandemic caused by covid-19, the objective of this essay is to reflect on the man-power-violence relationships and the resignification of men’s place, from the conceptions of Hannah Arendt, problematizing the normalized concept of hegemonic masculinity and seeking to understand the increase in domestic violence against women. Throughout this essay, we seek to deconstruct the idea that there is a single model of hegemonic masculinity that proposes a global domination of men over women, since women also present aspects of masculinity, being a historical-social construction that is constantly changing. Thus, in the face of historical gender reforms added to the instability caused by the covid-19 pandemic, there is an increase in domestic violence as an effect of the decrease in patriarchal power, in an attempt to stabilize the masculinity model defined by this patriarchal power, an attempt is made to reconstitute it (re-signify it) in new configurations.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to analyze the physical and pulmonary capacities of hospitalized patients with severe coronavirus disease and its correlation with the time of hospitalization and complications involved. METHODS: A total of 54 patients, aged ≥18 years of both sexes, were evaluated 2-4 months after hospital discharge in São Paulo, Brazil. The physical characteristics analyzed were muscle strength, balance, flexibility, and pulmonary function. The K-means cluster algorithm was used to identify patients with similar physical and pulmonary capacities, related to the time of hospitalization. RESULTS: Two clusters were derived using the K-means algorithm. Patients allocated in cluster 1 had fewer days of hospitalization, intensive care, and intubation than those in cluster 2, which reflected a better physical performance, strength, balance, and pulmonary condition, even 2-4 months after discharge. Days of hospitalization were inversely related to muscle strength, physical performance, and lung function: hand grip D (r=−0.28, p=0.04), Short Physical Performance Battery score (r=−0.28, p=0.03), and forced vital capacity (r=−0.29, p=0.03). CONCLUSION: Patients with a longer hospitalization time and complications progressed with greater loss of physical and pulmonary capacities.

Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is the largest pandemic in modern history with very high infection rates and considerable mortality. The disease, which emerged in China’s Wuhan province, had its first reported case on December 29, 2019, and spread rapidly worldwide. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic and global health emergency. Since the outbreak, efforts to develop COVID-19 vaccines, engineer new drugs, and evaluate existing ones for drug repurposing have been intensively undertaken to find ways to control this pandemic. COVID-19 therapeutic strategies aim to impair molecular pathways involved in the virus entrance and replication or interfere in the patients’ overreaction and immunopathology. Moreover, nanotechnology could be an approach to boost the activity of new drugs. Several COVID-19 vaccine candidates have received emergency-use or full authorization in one or more countries, and others are being developed and tested. This review assesses the different strategies currently proposed to control COVID-19 and the issues or limitations imposed on some approaches by the human and viral genetic variability.

This essay discusses financial resources for Brazil’s Unified Health System (SUS) in a historical and future perspective, considering the health and economic challenges imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic. As always and more than ever, we need to discuss SUS financing. This is aggravated in intensity by the context of chronic economic recession that the country has been experiencing in 2015 and 2016, followed by&nbsp; stagnation in the following years and accentuated in urgency by the recession in the second quarter of 2020 and that is expected to deepen in the coming years. The pandemic happens in a context of diminishing federal participation in SUS financing, little space for states to expand their sources of financing and several problems of coordination between federal entities. We argue that facing the pandemic necessarily involves an expansion of resources for financing SUS and it has a great dependence on the performance of the federal government. However, even with the urgency that the pandemic demanded, the new resources approved by the National Congress for public health system has been quite slow. We conclude that the prospects do not point to prioritizing the SUS and expanding its funding in the post-pandemic period.

Esse ensaio discute o financiamento do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) em perspectiva histórica e futura, considerando os desafios sanitários e econômicos impostos pela pandemia de Covid-19. Como sempre e mais do que nunca, precisamos discuti-lo. Essa necessidade cresce em premência a partir da recessão econômica que o país viveu em 2015 e 2016, pela estagnação da economia nos anos seguintes e pela recessão que já surge no segundo trimestre de 2020 com previsão de aprofundar-se nos próximos anos. A pandemia acontece em um contexto de redução da participação federal no financiamento, pouco espaço para estados ampliarem suas fontes de financiamento e problemas de coordenação entre os entes federativos. No caso do financiamento das ações e serviços públicos de saúde (ASPS) para enfrentamento à pandemia, argumentamos nesse texto, que ele passa necessariamente pela ampliação dos recursos alocados ao SUS, com grande dependência da atuação do governo federal. Contudo, nem com a urgência que demanda a pandemia houve rapidez na liberação e execução dos novos recursos aprovados pelo Congresso Nacional. Concluímos que as perspectivas não apontam para uma priorização do SUS e ampliação do seu financiamento no período pós-pandêmico.

Este estudo de natureza qualitativa se propõe a explorar a manutenção do processo de adoecimento derivada de Incapacidade Temporária ao Trabalho com participantes trabalhadores em situação de longos períodos de ausência afastamento ao trabalho (>120 dias) no Brasil e em Portugal. Constitui-se em 18 participantes na construção do método da entrevista de reconstituição biográfica cujo conteúdo foi submetido a análise temática e recurso à aplicação informática Nvivo11. A precariedade do trabalho, conflitos e pressões por produtividade levam às questões centrais de investigação quanto ao desenvolvimento de adoecimento antes e após a concessão do afastamento; narrativas da trajetória profissional enquanto processo de envelhecimento no gerenciamento da saúde e indícios de implicação institucional na saúde mental. Concluímos que normas são passíveis de renormatização mediante o gerir o trabalho com a vida, paciente na condição de ser e estar adoecido, relação entre saúde e trabalho enquanto debate e existência nas experiências de vida.

This qualitative study aims to explore the maintenance of the illness process derived from Temporary Incapacity to Work with participants working in situations of long periods of work absence (>120 days) in Brazil and in Portugal. 18 participants were enrolled in the construction of the biographical reconstitution interview method whose content was submitted to thematic analysis using Nvivo11. Precarious work and pressure for productivity lead to central research issues for the development of illness before and after work leave; narratives of the professional trajectory as a process of aging in health management and evidence of institutional involvement in mental health. We conclude that norms are subject to renormatization by managing work with life, patient on condition of being and being sick relationship between health and work as a debate and existence in life experiences.

The emergence of the pandemic caused by COVID-19 emphatically calls for thinking about the narrowing of the man-power-violence relationship and the resignification of the place of men in sustaining reproductive life, emotional ties and care. In this context of social isolation, as an important strategy against the spread of the disease, seeking to understand the increase in domestic violence against women, the objective of this essay is to reflect on the man-power-violence relations from the concepts of Hannah Arendt, problematizing the normalized concept of hegemonic masculinity. Throughout this essay, we seek to deconstruct the idea that there is a single model of hegemonic masculinity and that it proposes a global domination of men over women, since women also present aspects of masculinity, which is a historical-social construction that is transformed continuously. Thus, in the face of historical gender reforms, and the instability caused by the pandemic of COVID-19, there is an increase in domestic violence as an effect of the decrease in patriarchal power, in an attempt to stabilize the masculinity model defined by this patriarchal power, or the attempt to reconstitute it in new configurations. In view of this reality, it is necessary, within the scope of Collective Health, to reflect on the reformulation of the National Policy for Integral Attention to Men’s Health.

A emergência da pandemia causada pela COVID-19 reclama enfaticamente pensar o estreitamento da relação homem-poder-violência e a ressignificação do lugar dos homens na sustentação da vida reprodutiva, dos laços emocionais e do cuidado. Nesse contexto de isolamento social, como importante estratégia contra a disseminação da doença, buscando compreender o aumento de violência doméstica contra a mulher, o objetivo deste ensaio é refletir sobre as relações homem-poder-violência a partir das concepções de Hannah Arendt, problematizando o conceito normalizado de masculinidade hegemônica. Ao longo deste ensaio, buscamos desconstruir a ideia de que existe um único modelo de masculinidade hegemônica e que propõe uma dominação global dos homens sobre as mulheres, uma vez que mulheres também apresentam aspectos de masculinidade, sendo uma construção histórico-social, que se transforma continuamente. Assim, diante das reformas históricas de gênero acrescidas da instabilidade provocada pela pandemia da COVID-19, observa-se o aumento da violência domiciliar como efeito da diminuição do poder patriarcal, na tentativa de estabilizar o modelo de masculinidade definido por esse poder patriarcal, ou tenta-se reconstituí-lo em novas configurações. Frente a essa realidade, faz-se necessário, no âmbito da Saúde Coletiva, refletir sobre a reformulação da Política Nacional de Atenção Integral à Saúde do Homem.
