Abstract Background: Patients using immunosuppressive drugs may have unfavorable results after infections. However, there is a lack of information regarding COVID 19 in these patients, especially in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors associated with COVID 19 hospitalizations in patients with RA. Methods: This multicenter, prospective cohort study is within the ReumaCoV Brazil registry and included 489 patients with RA. In this context, 269 patients who tested positive for COVID 19 were compared to 220 patients who tested negative for COVID 19 (control group). All patient data were collected from the Research Electronic Data Capture database. Results: The participants were predominantly female (90.6%) with a mean age of 53 ±12 years. Of the patients with COVID 19, 54 (20.1%) required hospitalization. After multiple adjustments, the final regression model showed that heart disease (OR =4.61, 95% CI 1.06–20.02. P < 0.001) and current use of glucocorticoids (OR =20.66, 95% CI 3.09–138. P < 0.002) were the risk factors associated with hospitalization. In addition, anosmia was associated with a lower chance of hospitalization (OR =0.26; 95% CI 0.10–0.67, P < 0.005). Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that heart disease and the use of glucocorticoids were associated with a higher number of hospital admissions for COVID 19 in patients with RA. Trial registration: Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials RBR 33YTQC.

Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar as correlações fenotípicas entre características agronômicas de alho (Allium sativum) e realizar análise de trilha, tendo-se utilizado a produtividade comercial de bulbos como característica principal. O experimento foi conduzido sob condições de campo em duas safras (2018 e 2019), no município de Diamantina, no estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Um total de 13 genótipos de alho foram avaliados, sendo 11 experimentais e 2 cultivares comerciais. Utilizou-se o delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, com quatro repetições. Foram avaliadas características relacionadas à biometria da planta e à produção de bulbos. Foram realizadas as correlações fenotípicas e a análise de trilha das características estudadas. As correlações fenotípicas que apresentaram efeito positivo significativo ocorreram entre produção comercial de bulbos e altura de planta, diâmetro do bulbo, número de bulbos comerciais, massa média de bulbo total, massa média de bulbo comercial, produtividade total de bulbos e número de bulbilhos por bulbo. No entanto, apenas o número de bulbos comerciais e o diâmetro do bulbo tiveram efeitos significativos (direto e indireto) sobre a produtividade comercial de bulbos. Portanto, em programas de melhoramento de genótipos na região estudada, a seleção deve buscar maior diâmetro de bulbos e maior número de bulbos comerciais para incrementar a produtividade comercial.

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the phenotypic correlations between agronomic characters of garlic (Allium sativum) and to carry out the path analysis, using commercial bulb yield as the main character. The experiment was conducted under field conditions in two harvests (2018 and 2019) in the municipality of Diamantina, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. A total of 13 garlic genotypes were evaluated, of which 11 were experimental and 2 were commercial cultivars. The experimental design used was randomized complete blocks with four replicates. Characters related to plant biometry and bulb yield were evaluated. The phenotypic correlations and the path analysis of the studied characters were carried out. The phenotypic correlations that showed significant positive effects occurred between commercial bulb yield and plant height, bulb diameter, number of commercial bulbs, mean total bulb mass, mean commercial bulb mass, total bulb yield, and number of bulbils per bulb. However, only number of commercial bulbs and bulb diameter had significant effects (direct and indirect) on commercial bulb yield. Therefore, in genotype genetic breeding programs in the studied region, selection should seek a larger diameter of bulbs and a higher number of commercial bulbs to increase commercial yield.

Resumo A dengue ocorre no Timor-Leste desde 2005, porém não existe um programa de monitoramento e controle do "Aedes aegypti". O objetivo deste estudo foi de avaliar a armadilha ovitrampa iscada com atraente natural como uma possível ferramenta para monitorar o vetor das arboviroses: Dengue (DENV), Chikungunya (CHIKV) e Zika (ZIKV). O estudo foi realizado na cidade de Dili, capital do Timor-Leste, entre as semanas epidemiológicas 32 (02/08) a 48 (02/12) de 2016. Foram instaladas 70 armadilhas Ovitrampa, em residências de 15 sucos (ruas), de quatro Postos Administrativos (bairros) da cidade. Para as analises dos dados utilizou-se os indicadores entomológicos: Índice de Positividade de Ovitrampa (IPO), Índice de Densidade Vetorial (IDV) e Índice de Densidade de Ovos (IDO). Durante o experimento foram coletados 158.904 ovos de Aedes spp.. O IPO demonstrou que todas as áreas tiveram 98% a 100% de armadilhas contendo ovos de Aedes spp.. Os indicadores IDO e IPO apresentaram correlações positivas e significativa com a temperatura. A defasagem de duas e três semanas para precipitação indicou correlação positiva significativa para IDV e IDO. Portanto, a armadilha ovitrampa é uma ferramenta que pode integrar as ações de um programa de monitoramento e controle de Aedes spp. no Timor-Leste.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the degree of unilateral spatial neglect during the acute phase of stroke and long-term functional independence. METHODS: This was a prospective study of right ischemic stroke patients in which the independent variable was the degree of spatial neglect and the outcome that was measured was functional independence. The potential confounding factors included sex, age, stroke severity, topography of the lesion, risk factors, glycemia and the treatment received. Unilateral spatial neglect was measured using the line cancellation test, the star cancellation test and the line bisection test within 48 hours of the onset of symptoms. Functional independence was measured using the modified Rankin and Barthel scales at 90 days after discharge. The relationship between unilateral spatial neglect and functional independence was analyzed using multiple logistic regression that was corrected for confounding factors. RESULTS: We studied 60 patients with a median age of 68 (34-89) years, 52% of whom were male and 74% of whom were Caucasian. The risk for moderate to severe disability increased with increasing star cancellation test scores (OR=1.14 [1.03-1.26], p=0.01) corrected for the stroke severity, which was a confounding factor that had a statistically positive association with disability (OR=1.63 [1.13-2.65], p=0.01). The best chance of functional independence decreased with increasing star cancellation test scores (OR=0.86 [0.78-0.96], p=0.006) corrected for the stroke severity, which was a confounding factor that had a statistically negative association with independence (OR=0.66 [0.48-0.92], p=0.017). CONCLUSION: The severity of unilateral spatial neglect in acute stroke worsens the degree of long-term disability and functional independence.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The etiology of pulmonary infections in HIV patients is determined by several variables including geographic region and availability of antiretroviral therapy. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional prospective study was conducted from 2012 to 2016 to evaluate the occurrence of pulmonary fungal infection in HIV-patients hospitalized due to pulmonary infections. Patients’ serums were tested for (1-3)-β-D-Glugan, galactomannan, and lactate dehydrogenase. The association among the variables was analyzed by univariate and multivariate regression analysis. Results: 60 patients were included in the study. The patients were classified in three groups: Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (19 patients), community-acquired pneumonia (18 patients), and other infections (23 patients). The overall mortality was 13.3%. The time since diagnosis of HIV infection was shorter in the pneumocystosis group (4.94 years; p = 0.001) than for the other two groups of patients. The multivariate analysis showed that higher (1-3)-β-D-Glucan level (mean: 241 pg/mL) and lactate dehydrogenase (mean: 762 U/L) were associated with the diagnosis of pneumocystosis. Pneumocystosis was the aids-defining illness in 11 out of 16 newly diagnosed HIV-infected patients. Conclusion: In the era of antiretroviral therapy, PJP was still the most prevalent pulmonary infection and (1-3)-β-D-Glucan and lactate dehydrogenase may be suitable markers to help diagnosing pneumocystosis in our HIV population.

OBJECTIVE: The face-hand test is a simple, practical, and rapid test to detect neurological syndromes. However, it has not previously been assessed in a Brazilian sample; therefore, the objective of the present study was to standardize the face-hand test for use in the multi-cultural population of Brazil and identify the sociodemographic factors affecting the results. METHODS: This was a cross sectional study of 150 individuals. The sociodemographic variables that were collected included age, gender, race, body mass index and years of education. Standardization of the face-hand test occurred in 2 rounds of 10 sensory stimuli, with the participant seated to support the trunk and their vision obstructed in a sound-controlled environment. The face-hand test was conducted by applying 2 rounds of 10 sensory stimuli that were applied to the face and hand simultaneously. The associations between the face-hand test and sociodemographic variables were analyzed using Mann-Whitney tests and Spearman correlations. Binomial models were adjusted for the number of face-hand test variations, and ROC curves evaluated sensitivity and specificity of sensory extinction. RESULTS: There was no significant relationship between the sociodemographic variables and the number of stimuli perceived for the face-hand test. There was a high relative frequency of detection, 8 out of 10 stimuli, in this population. Sensory extinction was 25.3%, which increased with increasing age (OR=1.4[1:01–1:07]; p=0.006) and decreased significantly with increasing education (OR=0.82[0.71-0.94]; p=0.005). CONCLUSION: In the Brazilian population, a normal face-hand test score ranges between 8–10 stimuli, and the results indicate that sensory extinction is associated with increased age and lower levels of education.

RESUMO A resposta do taro ao nitrogênio tem sido objeto de discussão em relação a quanto de N a ser aplicado e quando aplicar. Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito de nitrogênio aplicado em cobertura sobre a produtividade de taro. Foram conduzidos dois experimentos em Oratórios - MG, nos períodos de setembro de 2010 a julho de 2011 (Ano 1) e de setembro de 2011 a julho de 2012 (Ano 2). Nos dois experimentos, utilizou-se o delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram de cinco doses de N (0; 40; 60; 80 e 160 kg de N ha-1), aplicado em cobertura, na forma de ureia, parceladas em três aplicações. As mudas do clone Japonês (BGH 5925), foram distribuídas no espaçamento de 0,90 x 0,30 m. Nos dois anos, aumento nas doses de N promoveu incrementos na produtividade de praticamente todas as classes de rizomas. A produtividade máxima estimada de rizomas comercializáveis foi de 22,23 t ha-1 no Ano 1 e de 9,81 t ha-1 no Ano 2 com, respectivamente, 109 e 118 kg ha-1 de N. O número total de rizomas filho por planta foi próximo nos dois anos (16,45 ud/planta no Ano 1 e 17,76 ud/planta no Ano 2). O número de rizomas refugo representou 35,32 e 46,51% do total por planta, no Ano 1 e 2, respectivamente, indicando o menor crescimento dos rizomas no Ano 2. A curva de resposta do taro a aplicação de doses de N em cobertura foi semelhante nos dois anos de estudo, porém os valores estimados foram influenciados pela diferença na precipitação pluvial entre os anos. No manejo da adubação nitrogenada a produtividade máxima de rizomas comercializáveis de taro foi alcançada com a aplicação de dose de N variando de 109 a 118 kg ha-1 de N.

ABSTRACT Response of taro to amount of nitrogen applied and time of application has been the subject of discussion. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen topdressing on taro yield. Two experiments were conducted in Oratórios - MG from September 2010 to July 2011 (Year 1) and from September 2011 to July 2012 (Year 2). Both experiments were arranged in a randomized block design, with four replications. The treatments consisted of five N rates (0; 40; 60; 80 and 160 kg ha-1) applied as topdressing at urea form. The corms of Japanese clone (BGH 5925) were planted in the 0.90 x 0.30 m spacing. In the two experimental years, yield increased in almost all corm classes with the increase in N rates. The estimated maximum yields of marketable corms were 22.23 Mg ha-1 in Year 1 and 9.81 Mg ha-1 in Year 2, with 109 and 118 kg ha-1 of N, respectively. The total number of corms per plant was similar in both years (16.45 corms/plant in Year 1 and 17.76 corms/plant in Year 2). Unmarketable corms represented 35.32 and 46.51% of the total per plant, in Year 1 and Year 2, respectively, indicating less corm growth in Year 2. The curve of taro response to topdressing N rates was similar in the two years and, the estimates were influenced by the difference in rainfall between the years. With the management of nitrogen fertilization, the maximum yield of marketable taro corms was achieved with N rates varying from 109 to 118 kg ha-1.

RESUMO Objetivo Relacionar as ondas-F com exames clínicos e laboratoriais na fase aguda do acidente vascular cerebral (AVC). Os critérios de inclusão para este estudo transversal foram: hemiplegia, ausência de trauma craniano, miopatia, diabetes, alcoolismo ou outra causa conhecida de neuropatia periférica, além de condução sensorial e motora normal. O National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), glicemia, hemoglobina glicada e CPK foram obtidos na admissão por meio de exames de rotina. Após a admissão hospitalar, a latência e persistência das ondas-F foram obtidas por meio da estimulação do nervo fibular profundo utilizando técnicas simétricas. Foram avaliados 20 indivíduos – média de idade 66 anos, 50% homem e 85% caucasianos – apresentaram associação univariada da persistência das ondas-F com glicemia (r = 0.71; p < 0.001) e NIHSS categorizado (NIHSS 1–7 = 65.0 x NIHSS 9-23 = 100; p = 0.004). Na regressão multivariada foi encontrado associação somente entre persistência de ondas-F com glicemia β = 0.59(0.44–0.74); p < 0.001. Conclusão O aumento da persistência de ondas-F está associado com maior nível de glicemia na fase aguda do AVC.

ABSTRACT Objective To relate F-waves with clinical and laboratory exams in the acute phase of stroke. Methods Inclusion criteria for this cross-sectional study were: hemiplegia, absence of previous cranial trauma, myopathy, diabetes, alcoholism or other known causes of peripheral neuropathy, and normal sensory and motor conduction. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, glycemia, glucosilate hemoglobin, and CPK were obtained at admission by routine blood exams. After hospital admission, the F-wave latencies and persistence were obtained from the deep peroneal nerve using symmetrical techniques. Results Evaluation of 20 individuals – mean age 66 years, 50% male and 85% Caucasian – showed association of F-wave persistence with glycemia (r = 0.71; p < 0.001) and NIHSS categorized (NIHSS 1-7 = 65.0 x NIHSS 9-23 = 100; p = 0.004). Multivariate analysis found only association of F-wave persistence with glycemia β = 0.59 (0.44–0.74); p < 0.001. Conclusion The increase in the persistence of F-waves are associated with hyperglycemia in the acute phase of stroke.

In Brazil, the entomological surveillance of Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti is performed by government-mandated larval surveys. In this study, the sensitivities of an adult sticky trap and traditional surveillance methodologies were compared. The study was performed over a 12-week period in a residential neighbourhood of the municipality of Pedro Leopoldo, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. An ovitrap and a MosquiTRAP were placed at opposite ends of each neighbourhood block (60 traps in total) and inspections were performed weekly. The study revealed significant correlations of moderate strength between the larval survey, ovitrap and MosquiTRAP measurements. A positive relationship was observed between temperature, adult capture measurements and egg collections, whereas precipitation and frequency of rainy days exhibited a negative relationship.

A sticky trap designed to capture gravid Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti mosquitoes, MosquiTRAP, has been evaluated for monitoring this species in Brazil. However, the effects of trap densities on the capture rate of Ae. aegypti females and the sensitivity of vector detection are still unknown. After a preliminary study has identified areas of high and low female mosquito abundance, a set of experiments was conducted in four neighbourhoods of Belo Horizonte (state of Minas Gerais, Brazil) using densities of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 traps per block. Trap sensitivity (positive MosquiTRAP index) increased significantly when 1-8 MosquiTRAPs were installed per block in both high and low abundance areas. A strong fit was obtained for the total number of mosquitoes captured with increasing trap densities through a non-linear function (Box-Lucas) (r² = 0,994), which likely exhibits saturation towards an equilibrium level. The capacity of the Mean Female Aedes Index to distinguish between areas of high and low Ae. aegypti abundance was also investigated; the achieved differentiation was shown to be dependent on the MosquiTRAP density.

INTRODUÇÃO: A publicação de estudos controlados e metanálises que evidenciaram a segurança, a efetividade e a equivalência oncológica da abordagem laparoscópica com relação aos procedimentos abertos, fez com que a cirurgia colorretal minimamente invasiva fosse adotada por um número crescente de serviços em todo o mundo. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar se há diferenças na qualidade de vida dos pacientes no período pós-operatório inicial de cirurgias colorretais laparoscópicas e convencionais. PACIENTES E MÉTODO: Trata-se de um estudo prospectivo observacional sobre qualidade de vida, envolvendo pacientes submetidos à cirurgia colorretal laparoscópica e convencional. No período de maio a novembro de 2008, 42 pacientes submetidos à cirurgia colorretal foram acompanhados desde a cirurgia até o 60º DPO. Os questionários foram aplicados no 3º, 7º e 30º dias de pós-operatório e as respostas obtidas constituíram o banco de dados a ser analisado. A análise estatística consistiu em análise descritiva do escore do estado global de saúde, dos escores funcionais e de sintomas do questionário EORTC/QLQ 30, tendo sido utilizado os testes de Shapiro-Wilk, Mann-Whitney e t de Student. O nível de significância (a) considerado foi de 0,05. RESULTADOS: Houve predominância de pacientes do sexo feminino (57,1%), com uma média de idade de 61,5 anos. Foi detectada diferença significativa do escore "estado global de saúde" no 30º dia de pós-operatório, com valores de 75,0 e 58,3 para as cirurgias laparoscópicas e abertas, respectivamente (p = 0,005). Com relação à função física, assim como na análise das demais funções (desempenho, emocional, cognitiva e social), sintomas (fadiga, náusea, dor, dispnéia, insônia, apetite, constipação) e dificuldades financeiras, não foram observadas diferenças significativas. CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados demonstraram que os pacientes submetidos à cirurgia colorretal por via laparoscópica apresentaram melhor qualidade de vida ao final do primeiro mês de pós-operatório, quando comparados com os pacientes submetidos à cirurgia aberta.

INTRODUCTION: Several studies, including meta-analysis, have demonstrated the safety, effectiveness and oncologic equivalence of laparoscopic resections when compared to open procedures leading minimally invasive colorectal surgery to be adopted in crescent number of services around the world. This study aims to evaluate the quality of life of patients underwent laparoscopic and open colorectal resections in the early postoperative period. METHODS: this is a prospective study which evaluated 42 patients underwent laparoscopic and open colorectal resection between May to November 2008 followed up until 60th postoperative day. Questionnaires of quality of life were applied in 3th, 7th and 30th postoperative days. Statistical analysis consisted of descriptive analysis of global healthy status scores, functional scores and symptoms of EORTC/QLQ 30. Shapiro-Wilk, Mann-Whitney e t de Student statistical tests were used to check the data, with level of significance in 0.05. RESULTS: Most of patients were females (57.1%) with mean age of 61.5 years. It was observed significant difference of "global health status" score on the 30th postoperative between groups, with values of 75.0 and 58.3 for patients underwent laparoscopic and open procedures respectively (p = 0.005). There were no differences in terms of physical function and others as, accomplishment, emotional, cognitive and social functions. In relation to symptoms (fatigue, nausea, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, loss of appetite and constipation) and financial difficulties, there were also no differences between groups. CONCLUSION: Our results have demonstrated that patients underwent laparoscopic colorectal resections have better quality of life at the end of first postoperative month when compared to patients underwent to open colorectal resections.

As limitações na identificação do Aedes aegypti em laboratório e no processamento das informações obtidas em campo pelo método da pesquisa larvária levaram ao desenvolvimento do "Monitoramento Inteligente da Dengue" (MI-Dengue). O MI-Dengue consiste em uma armadilha que captura fêmeas grávidas de Ae. aegypti associada ao sistema informatizado de coleta, transmissão e acesso das informações de campo, e mapas georreferenciados em tempo real. O objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever pela primeira vez um sistema de monitoramento de adultos de Ae. aegypti e apresentar os resultados preliminares em três municípios que adotaram o MI-Dengue como estratégia para identificar áreas e direcionar as ações de controle. Semanalmente, mapas georreferenciados e o indicador entomológico (IMFA) forneceram informações das áreas onde os níveis de infestações, caracterizados por cores em função da quantidade de fêmeas de Ae. aegypti capturadas, indicaram situação de sem risco, alerta e crítica que desencadearam ações de controle. Os resultados preliminares sugerem que a adoção dessa estratégia de controle com visitas casa a casa em um raio de 200m da armadilha positiva contribuiu para a redução de casos de dengue nos municípios que adotaram o MI-Dengue.

Limitations in the laboratory identification of Aedes aegypti and processing of field data based on larval surveys led to the development of the "Intelligent Dengue Monitoring" technology (MI-Dengue). MI-Dengue consists of a trap that captures gravid female Ae. aegypti, coupled with a computerized system for field data collection, transmission, and access to georeferenced maps in real time. The current study describe the first experience with a system for monitoring adult Ae. aegypti and presents the preliminary results in three municipalities that adopted MI-Dengue as a strategy to identify key areas and orient control measures. Weekly georeferenced maps and an entomological indicator (Mean Female Aedes Index) provided information on infested areas and infestation levels, color-coded according to the number of captured female Ae. aegypti, and indicated risk-free, dengue alert, and critical situations that triggered appropriate control measures. The preliminary results suggest that the adoption of this control strategy with house-to-house visits in a 200m radius of the positive trap helped reduce dengue in the municipalities that adopted the system.

A armadilha de oviposição acrescida de inseticida pode funcionar como novo método de controle de fêmeas do mosquito Aedes aegypti. Fêmeas de Aedes aegypti foram colocadas em contato com ovitrampas letais envelhecidas e a mortalidade variou de 60,3% a 100% sendo significativo o efeito do envelhecimento das palhetas impregnadas com deltametrina no percentual de mortalidade.

Oviposition traps with added insecticide may work as a new method for controlling the females of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Females of Aedes aegypti were placed in contact with lethal ovitraps with aging. The mortality rate ranged from 60.3% to 100%. The effect of aging the slats impregnated with deltamethrin was significant in relation to the percentage mortality among Aedes aegypti females.
