Abstract The aim of this multicenter study was to explore the early-life sugar consumption and dietary practices in Latin America as well as to investigate the association between breastfeeding duration and the age at which foods and beverages with added sugars are introduced. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 805 1- to 3-year-old children from 10 Latin American countries, as a complementary study to the Research Observatory for Dental Caries of the Latin American Region (OICAL). A Food Frequency Questionnaire previously tested in different countries was applied to children’s mothers and data on breastfeeding and age at introduction of sugary foods and beverages was collected. Statistical analysis included the Kruskal-Wallis test and Poisson regression with robust variance, with the calculation of crude and adjusted mean ratios (MR) and 95% of confidence intervals (CI). The average age at introduction of sugary foods and beverages was 10.1 months (95%CI 9.7–10.4) and 9.6 (95%CI 9.2–9.9) months, respectively, with a significant variation between countries (p < 0.001). The average daily frequency of sugary foods-beverages was 3.3 times per day (95%CI 3.1–3.5) and varied significantly between countries (p = 0.004). Breastfeeding duration of over six months was associated with an increase in the age of introduction of sweet drinks (16%; MR 1.16; 95%CI 1.05–1.28) and foods (21%; MR 1.21; 95%CI 1.10–1.33). In conclusion, most children from vulnerable settings in Latin America start consuming sugary products in the first year of life and a high frequency of consumption was reported through early childhood. Additionally, breastfeeding contributes to a delay in the introduction of sugary products. earlylife introduced crosssectional cross sectional 80 1 3yearold yearold 3 old OICAL. OICAL .

ABSTRACT. The present study aimed to correlate the influence of water quality, cultivation time, area, and density of ponds on the zootechnical performance of shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei in oligohaline waters. It was demonstrated that, under the conditions of this research, better control of temperature, pH and water alkalinity can be employed. Ammonia levels were within the normal range and correlated positively with the growth rate (ρ = 0.69859) and production (ρ = 0.66362) of the ponds. There was also a positive correlation between cultivation time and pond density with shrimp weight (ρ = 0.75305 and 0.68933) and pond productivity (ρ = 0.74763 and 0.79367, respectively). Negative correlations were observed between: I) pH with shrimp survival (ρ = -0.73238) and pond production (ρ = -0.68696); II) alkalinity and pond production (ρ = -0.66162). The results show that the cultivation of shrimp L. vannamei in oligohaline waters is viable and there is potential for increased productivity associated with better hydrological monitoring and use of higher density and cultivation time by some producers.

Resumo Enquadramento: O ambiente de prática de enfermagem (APE) influencia a qualidade dos cuidados de saúde, a prática de cuidados centrados na pessoa e a segurança dos doentes. Concretamente, prestar cuidados seguros engloba não deixar cuidados omissos. Objetivo: Analisar a influência do APE nos cuidados omissos e na individualização dos cuidados. Metodologia: Estudo quantitativo, descritivo e correlacional, desenvolvido em três serviços de internamento de um hospital de oncologia em Portugal. A perceção dos enfermeiros acerca do APE foi avaliada pela Practice Environment Scale of the Nurse Work Index, sendo-lhes também solicitado que identificassem os cuidados omissos do último turno por falta de tempo. A perceção das pessoas internadas acerca da individualização dos cuidados prestados foi avaliada recorrendo à Individualized Care Scale Patient. Resultados: Participaram 66 enfermeiros e 40 pessoas internadas. O APE global foi avaliado como desfavorável. O serviço com ambiente no limiar favorável reportou menos cuidados omissos. As pessoas internadas perceberam os cuidados como sendo individualizados. Conclusão: O APE identificado pode colocar em causa a qualidade dos cuidados prestados.

Abstract Background: The nursing practice environment (NPE) influences the quality of care, person-centered care, and patient safety. More specifically, providing safe care includes not leaving care left undone. Objective: To analyze the influence of the NPE on missed care and individualized care. Methodology: A quantitative, descriptive, and correlational study was conducted in three inpatient wards of an oncology hospital in Portugal. Nurses’ perceptions of the NPE were assessed using the Practice Environment Scale of the Nurse Work Index. Nurses were also asked to identify types of care missed during their last shift due to lack of time. Inpatients’ perceptions of individualized care were assessed using the Individualized Care Scale Patient. Results: The sample consisted of 66 nurses and 40 inpatients. The overall NPE was rated as unfavorable. The ward with an environment in the favorable threshold reported less missed care. Inpatients perceived care as individualized. Conclusion: The identified NPE may call into question the quality of care.

Resumo Existem múltiplos fatores que podem contribuir para uma má qualidade de sono no doente idoso hospitalizado. Os clínicos têm à disposição várias intervenções não farmacológicas e farmacológicas. O presente artigo pretende fazer uma revisão narrativa das diferentes opções terapêuticas. No tratamento da insónia do doente idoso hospitalizado deve ser dada primazia às medidas não farmacológicas que irão melhorar a qualidade do sono e consequentemente melhorar o bem-estar e a sua recuperação. Algumas medidas podem ser aplicadas durante o dia sendo disso exemplo minimizar sestas diurnas, prevenir e tratar delirium bem como pesquisar e tratar doenças do sono que não estejam diagnosticadas. Relativamente às medidas farmacológicas, mais do que salientar os fármacos com menos efeitos prejudiciais, pretendemos reforçar a evicção de alguns fármacos, pelos seus efeitos adversos e impacto nas outras comorbilidades destes doentes, como as benzodiazepinas com semivida longa e os anti-histamínicos. Outros fármacos a considerar na prática clínica são os não-benzodiazepinicos como o zolpidem e antidepressivos com efeito sedativo como a mirtazapina e a trazodona.

Abstract There are several factors that can contribute to poor sleep quality in hospitalized elderly patients. Clinicians have a variety of non-pharmacological and pharmacological in-terventions available. This article aims to review the different therapeutic options. In the treatment of insomnia in hospitalized elderly patients, priority should be given to non-pharmacological mea-sures that will improve sleep quality and improve well-being and health recovery. Some measures can be applied during the day, such as minimizing daytime naps, preventing and treating delirium as well as looking for and treat undiagnosed sleeping disorders. Regarding the pharmacological measures, more than emphasize the less harmful medicines, we intend to reinforce medicines to be avoided due to side effects and impact on patients’ comorbidities, like benzodiazepines with a long half-life and antihistamines. Other drugs to consider in clinical practice are non-benzodiazepine drugs such as zolpidem and antidepressants with sedative effects such as mirtazapine and trazodone.

ABSTRACT Cyberchondria is a psychopathological behavior that affects people who compulsively consult the internet, by searching the symptoms of different pathologies from which they believe they are suffering, and when influenced by what they read, are sure they have some of these diseases. The aim of this study was to assess the cyberchondria level and associated factors among Brazilian and Portuguese dentists. A total 597 Brazilian and Portuguese dentists participated in this cross-sectional study. They were contacted via WhatsApp and asked to complete an online questionnaire on the Google Forms platform, from January 17 to 31, 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sociodemographic information was collected and cyberchondria was measured using the Portuguese language version of the Cyberchondria Severity Scale. Binary logistic regression models were used to estimate the unadjusted and adjusted Odds Ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) for the association of cyberchondria and covariates. Each covariate was individually included in the regression model, and the unadjusted OR (95% CI) was estimated. Most participants were Brazilian (62.8%), women (75.5%), married (60.5%) and with children (55.6%). Average age was 42.1 years (+ 12.5). In the final model, it was found that with each increase of one year in age, the chance of a high level of cyberchondria decreased (OR=0.97; 95% CI 0.95-0.98). Brazilian dentists were 1.85 times more likely (95% CI 1.25-2.75) to have a high level of cyberchondria than Portuguese dentists. Women were 1.62 times more likely (95% CI 1.07-2.44) to have a high level of cyberchondria than men. It was concluded that young age, Brazilian nationality, and female gender favored the high level of cyberchondria among the participants in this sample during COVID-19 pandemic.

RESUMO A cibercondria é um comportamento psicopatológico que atinge as pessoas que consultam compulsivamente a internet, pesquisando os sintomas das diferentes patologias de que acreditam estar sofrendo e, quando influenciadas pelo que leem, têm a certeza de possuir alguma dessas doenças. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o nível de cibercondria e fatores associados entre dentistas brasileiros e portugueses. Participaram deste estudo transversal 597 dentistas brasileiros e portugueses. Eles foram contatados via WhatsApp e solicitados a preencher um questionário online na plataforma do Google Forms, no período de 17 a 31 de janeiro de 2021, durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Informações sociodemográficas foram coletadas e a cibercondria foi mensurada através da versão em língua portuguesa da Cyberchondria Severity Scale. Modelos de regressão logística binária foram usados para estimar a Odds Ratio (OR) não ajustada e ajustada e o intervalo de confiança (IC) de 95% correspondente para a associação de cibercondria e covariáveis. Cada covariável foi incluída individualmente no modelo de regressão, e o OR não ajustado (IC 95%) foi estimado. A maioria dos participantes eram brasileiros (62,8%), mulheres (75,5%), casados (60,5%) e com filhos (55,6%). A média de idade foi de 42,1 anos (+ 12,5). No modelo final, verificou-se que a cada aumento de um ano de vida, a chance de um nível elevado de cibercondria diminuía (OR = 0,97; IC95% 0,95-0,98). Os dentistas brasileiros tiveram 1,85 vezes mais probabilidade (IC95% 1,25-2,75) de apresentar alto índice de cibercondria quando comparados aos portugueses. As mulheres tinham 1,62 vezes mais probabilidade (IC 95% 1,07-2,44) de ter um alto nível de cibercondria em comparação com os homens. Concluiu-se que a idade mais jovem, a nacionalidade brasileira e o sexo feminino favoreceram o alto índice de cibercondria entre os participantes desta amostra durante a pandemia COVID-19.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the influence of maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) on blood glucose levels at diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and obstetric/neonatal outcomes. Subjects and methods: Retrospective cohort study including 462 women with GDM and singleton pregnancy delivered in our institution between January 2015 and June 2018 and grouped according to BMI/GWG. Results: The diagnosis of GDM was more likely to be established in the 1st trimester (T) in women with obesity than in normal-weight (55.8% vs 53.7%, p = 0.008). BMI positively and significantly correlated with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels in the 1stT (rs = 0.213, p = 0.001) and 2ndT (rs = 0.210, p = 0.001). Excessive GWG occurred in 44.9% women with overweight and in 40.2% with obesity (p < 0.001). From women with obesity, 65.1% required pharmacological treatment (p < 0.001). Gestational hypertension (GH) was more frequent in women with obesity (p = 0.016). During follow-up, 132 cesareans were performed, the majority in mothers with obesity (p = 0.008). Of the 17 large-for-gestational-age (LGA) birthweight delivered, respectively 6 and 9 were offsprings of women with overweight and obesity (p = 0.019). Maternal BMI had a predictive value only for macrosomia [aOR 1.177 (1.006-1.376), p = 0.041]. BMI and GWG positively correlated with birthweight (rs = 0.132, p = 0.005; rs = 0.188, p = 0.005). Conclusion: Maternal obesity is related with a major probability of diagnosis of GDM in 1stT, fasting hyperglycemia in 2ndT and a more frequent need for pharmacological therapy. Pre-gestational obesity is associated with GH, cesarean delivery and fetal macrosomia.

Abstract In recent years, there is a growing consensus on the importance of Corporate Social Responsibility for organisations with the aim of achieving sustainable development. This study aims to analyse the dissemination of information on Corporate Social Responsibility through the websites of Portuguese Liga NOS clubs in the 2017/2018 sport season. The study is descriptive in nature and is based on a qualitative methodology using the content analysis technique. The results show that the degree of information disclosed is low, as revealed by the total disclosure index (26.63%), and that the most disclosed information is social, followed by economic information. However, very little information is disclosed on employee recruitment and environment.

ABSTRACT Hematological malignancies (HM) confer a high risk of acute kidney injury (AKI), which is associated with elevated morbi-mortality. The aim of this study was to identify the prognostic factors for in-hospital mortality and one-year mortality in this population. We conducted a single center, retrospective, observational cohort study of 101 in-hospital patients with AKI and HM between January 2015 and December 2019. Multiple myeloma was present in 30.7% of the patients, followed by non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in 27.7%. Renal support therapy (RST) was needed in 60.4% of the cases. Independent predictors for in-hospital mortality were invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) (OR 49.53; 95% CI:9.17 - 267.57; P<0.001) and infection during in-hospital stay (IDHS) (OR 5.09; 95% CI:1.18 - 21.89; P=0.029). Predictors for one-year mortality were NHL (HR 2.88; 95% CI:1.54 - 5.39; P=0.001), tumor progression (HR 2.36; 95% CI:1.29 - 4.32; P=0.006) and IMV (HR 6.38; 95% CI:3.50 - 11.64; P<0.001). Higher albumin levels at AKI diagnosis conferred a better prognosis (HR 0.57; 95% CI:0.35 - 0.91; P=0.020). Our model showed that patients with HM and AKI who were submitted to IMV and had IDHS had a probability of in-hospital death of 96%. Albumin at the time of AKI influenced one-year mortality.

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is characterized by a neoplastic proliferation of plasma cell clones producing monoclonal immunoglobulin. Manifestations of the disease are heterogenous and include dialysis-requiring acute kidney injury (AKI) caused mainly by cast nephropathy (CN). It is known that early and rapid decrease in serum free light chains (sFLC) levels is particularly important for renal recovery, which has led to a renewed interest in extracorporeal methods of removal of sFLC. In this review we will discuss the management of light chain CN focusing on extracorporeal light chains removal modalities and their indication.

RESUMO Objetivo Identificar os principais determinantes do consumo alimentar entre adultos usuários de um mercado público de uma capital do nordeste brasileiro. Métodos Foram entrevistados, por intermédio de questionários pré-testados, nos meses de agosto de 2018 até janeiro de 2019, uma amostra de 198 comensais de um mercado público, constituída por 149 indivíduos do sexo masculino e 49 do sexo feminino maiores de 19 anos. Foram avaliadas variáveis sociodemográficas como sexo, idade, local de origem, escolaridade e renda, além dos determinantes das escolhas alimentares. A análise foi feita utilizando o teste de Wilcoxon (não paramétrico), que comparou as médias das dimensões envolvidas nessas escolhas conforme sexo e renda. Resultados Apelo sensorial, preço e saúde foram os principais determinantes das escolhas alimentares. Quando comparados por sexo e renda, houve diferenças significativas quanto aos atributos analisados. Conclusão Os fatores que influenciaram a escolha alimentar foram: apelo sensorial, preço e saúde. Já as questões éticas foram as que menos interferiram na escolha alimentar. Desse modo, tais aspectos devem ser levados em consideração para o desenvolvimento de políticas públicas na área de alimentação coletiva e educação ambiental.

ABSTRACT Objective To identify the main determinants of food consumption among adult users of a public market in a capital of Northeastern Brazil. Methods A total of 198 diners in a public market, constituting a sample comprising 149 males and 49 females over 19 years of age, was interviewed using a pre-tested questionnaires from August 2018 to January 2019. Sociodemographic variables such as gender, age, place of origin, education and income, in addition to the determinants of food choices were evaluated. The analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test (nonparametric) that compared the means of the dimensions involved in these choices according to gender and income. Results Sensory appeal, price and health were the main determinants of food choices. When compared by gender and income, there were significant differences regarding the attributes reviewed. Conclusion The factors that influenced food choice were: sensory appeal, price and health. Ethical issues were the ones that least interfered with food choice. Thus, such aspects must be taken into account for the development of public policies in the area of collective eating and environmental education. The factors that influenced food choice were: sensory appeal, price and health. Ethical issues were the ones that least interfered with food choice.
