Authors: Puklavec Aleksandar , Antekolović Ljubomir , Mikulić Pavle
Published: April 2021

The aim of this study was to examine the acquisition of the long jump skill in elementary school children using augmented feedback of varying type and frequency. Eighty-eight boys and girls aged (mean ± SD) 11 ± 0.5 years, without any prior experience in the long jump skill acquisition,  were assigned to one of the four study groups: (1) the group receiving only verbal feedback on key errors, (2) the group receiving both verbal and video feedback on key errors, (3) the group receiving both verbal and video feedback on all errors, and (4) the group receiving no feedback. Before and after an 8-week training intervention, long jump distance and relevant kinematic variables were recorded. The results indicated that the group receiving both verbal and video feedback on all errors improved the most in terms of the long jump distance. Varying feedback influenced kinematic parameters differently, as there was no consistent change in the monitored kinematic variables across groups. It was concluded that, when learning a complex motor skill in a typical Physical Education setting, elementary school children are likely to benefit the most when receiving frequent feedback (both verbal and using video analysis, focusing on all errors) in comparison with the situation in which they receive feedback reduced in the type (only verbal) and the frequency (focusing only on key errors).Keywords: bandwidth feedback; kinematics; knowledge of performance; motor learning. --- Cilj ovoga rada bio je ispitati utjecaj različitih količina i vrsta povratnih informacija (PI) u procesu usvajanja tehnike skoka u dalj kod učenika osnovne škole. Osamdeset i osam učenika i učenica, starosti 11 (±0,5) godina, bez prethodnoga iskustva u treningu skoka u dalj, raspodijeljeno je u jednu od četiriju skupina ispitanika koje su dobivale PI: (1) verbalno samo na ključne greške, (2) verbalno i vizualno samo na ključne greške, (3) verbalno i vizualno na sve greške ili (4) nisu primale PI. Duljina skoka i relevantni kinematički parametri skoka u dalj izmjereni su prije i nakon 8-tjednog eksperimentalnoga tretmana. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su kako je grupa koja je primala PI, na svaku grešku verbalnim i vizualnim putem najviše napredovala u smislu duljine skoka u dalj. Različite količine i vrste PI različito djelovale su na promatrane kinematičke parametre te nisu uočene konzistentne promjene između grupa. Zaključeno je kako djeca osnovnoškolske dobi prilikom usvajanja kompleksne motoričke vještine imaju više koristi od većih frekvencija PI (verbalnih i vizualnih na sve greške) u usporedbi s reduciranim PI prema vrsti (samo verbalne) ili frekvenciji (samo na ključne greške).Ključne riječi: kinematika; motoričko učenje; poznavanje izvedbe; reducirane povratne informacije.

Authors: Rahman Balogun Muhammed Shittu Abdul
Published: April 2021

Vividly, it is not an overstatement to say that football game is the most prominent sport in the recent world. The present study is about the impact of athletic scholarship on football achievement motivation of university students. Athletic type of scholarship helps students to discover, improve and exhibit their football talent and skills. It makes effective contributions to the development of sport within the campus and prepares ambitious and hardworking college or university athletes for the challenges of actualizing their long-term ambitions to become professional footballers. Considering both empirical cum theoretical contributions of this study, the finding practically provides the following suggestions. 1- the finding pinpoints the insights and importance of athletic scholarship and encourage the stakeholders of the university to cultivate the idea of athletic scholarships by extending their scholarship schemes beyond merit and needy bases. 2- It gives an insight that athletic scholarship enables the students to study any academic program and have tendency of becoming professional footballers. 3- importantly, it adds to the literature by investigating the impact of athletic scholarship on football achievement motivation of the students and how the stardoms of being a footballer in the campus affect the students' football interest.

Published: April 2021

Although there is increasing evidence showing that infants with viral bronchiolitis exhibit a high degree of heterogeneity, a core uncertainty shared by many clinicians is with regard to understanding which patients are most likely to benefit from bronchodilators such as albuterol. Based on our review, we concluded that older infants with rhinovirus (RV) bronchiolitis, especially those with a nasopharyngeal microbiome dominated by Haemophilus influenzae; those affected during nonpeak months or during non-respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) predominant months; those with wheezing at presentation; those with clinical characteristics such as atopic dermatitis or a family history of asthma in a first-degree relative; and those infants infected with RSV genotypes ON1 and BA, have the greatest likelihood of benefiting from albuterol. Presently, this patient profile could serve as the basis for rational albuterol administration in patients with viral bronchiolitis, at least on a therapeutic trial basis, and it could also be the starting point for future targeted randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on the use of albuterol among a subset of infants with bronchiolitis.
Dual-light photodynamic therapy administered daily provides a sustained antibacterial effect on biofilm and prevents Streptococcus mutans adaptation v1
Authors: Nikinmaa Sakari , Patila Tommi
Published: April 2021

Antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and antibacterial blue light (aBL) are emerging treatment methods auxiliary to mechanical debridement for periodontitis. APDT provided with near-infrared (NIR) light in conjunction with an indocyanine green (ICG) photosensitizer has shown efficacy in several dental in-office-treatment protocols. In this study, we tested Streptococcus mutans biofilm sensitivity to either aPDT, aBL or their combination dual-light aPDT (simultaneous aPDT and aBL) exposure. Biofilm was cultured by pipetting diluted Streptococcus mutans suspension with growth medium on the bottom of well plates. Either aPDT (810-nm) or aBL (405nm) or a dual-light aPDT (simultaneous 810nm aPDT and 405nm aBL) was applied with an ICG photosensitizer in cases of aPDT or dual-light while keeping the total light energy constant at 100J/cm2. Single-dose light exposures were given after one-day or four-day biofilm incubations. Also, a model of daily treatment was provided by repeating the same light dose daily on four-day and fourteen-day biofilm incubations. Finally, the antibacterial action of the dual-light aPDT with different energy ratios of 810 nm and 405 nm of light were examined on the single-day and four-day biofilm protocols. At the end of each experiment, the bacterial viability was assessed by the colony-forming unit method. Separate samples were prepared for confocal 3D biofilm imaging. On a one-day biofilm, the dual-light aPDT was significantly more efficient than aBL or aPDT, although all modalities were bactericidal. On a four-day biofilm, a single exposure of aPDT or dual-light aPDT was more efficient than aBL, resulting in a four logarithmic scale reduction in bacterial counts. Surprisingly, when the same amount of aPDT was repeated daily on a four-day or a fourteen-day biofilm, bacterial viability improved significantly. A similar improvement in bacterial viability was observed after repetitive aBL application. This viability improvement was eliminated when dual-light aPDT was applied. By changing the relative amount of light irradiance of 810nm and 405nm in dual-light aPDT, the increase in aBL improved the antibacterial action when the biofilm was older. In conclusion, when aPDT is administered repeatedly to S. mutans biofilm, a single wavelength-based aBL or aPDT leads to a significant biofilm adaptation and increased S. mutans viability. The combined use of aBL light in synchrony with aPDT arrests the adaptation and provides significantly improved and sustained antibacterial efficacy.
Extracellular and intracellular pH measurements in micerespiratory tract in vivo v1
Authors: A Okda Faten , Perry Scott , Webby Richard , Russell Charles
Published: April 2021

In the last century, novel respiratory viruses with pandemic potential have emerged in human populations. Interference with HA acid stability of pandemic H1N1 significantly decreases pathogenicity in mice, ferrets, and swine. We propose that pH is the key determinant of viral fitness in the respiratory tract of mice. Fiber-optic pH sensing has been used in vivoin animal species such as dogs, mice, and swine and in humans. In vivo measurements of extracellular and intracellular pH of the respiratory tract after influenza virus infection and of baseline pH of the respiratory tract are not accurately studied. Here, we measured the pH in mice respiratory tract in vivo under anesthesia, using the fiber-optic phase detection system and by inserting the 140-μm diameter microsensor tip into the nasal cavity, soft palate, and trachea of mice. To the best of our knowledge, our study is the first to use pH sensing technology in the respiratory tract of infected and non-infected mice. In addition, individual cell properties differ significantly in size, protein levels, and expression. Therefore, we performed single intracellular pH analyses to better understand the cellular responses in different respiratory tissues and complex environments in response to IAVs, especially pandemic viruses. We report potentials in local extracellular pH in different parts of the mouse respiratory tract in correlation to the intracellular measurement of a single cell the local immune response.
Efficient third generation lentiviral particle production v3
Authors: Newbery Michelle
Published: April 2021

The overexpression of a gene of interest by third generation lentiviral particle generation systems is a critical process in molecular biology, cell biology and gene therapy research. While many lentiviral protocol production methods have been discussed in literature, this protocol takes into account previously established optimisations with the aim to minimise user handling time, cost, and maximise practical yield. This protocol allows for at least 6 days of consecutive viral particle collection without compromising HEK293T cell culture or viral production efficiency, and can be easily and cost effectively reproduced in basic cell culture laboratories.

Authors: YILDIZ Vahit , ŞİŞMAN Ali , POYRAZ Caner , YILDIRIM Halil , YILDIZ Kadri , SAVK Sevki Oner
Published: April 2021

Purpose:
We aimed to compare the clinical results of patients who underwent early and late hip arthroplasty due to complex acetabulum fracture with coxarthrosis and investigate the factors affecting the clinical results.
Method:
Patients who were operated on for acetabular fractures between 2005 and 2017 were retrospectively analysed. Patients with complex fractures according to the Letournel Classification and arthrosis according to the Kellgren-Lawrence radiological criteria were included in the study. Patients were divided in to two groups, post-fracture early period (group 1) and late period (group 2), based on when they underwent arthroplasty. Both groups were compared in terms of Harris hip score, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), age, arthrosis, operation time, and time to return to daily life.
Result:
It was determined that 20 of the patients included in the study underwent arthroplasty in the early period and 21 in the late period. The mean average Harris score was 71.60 (± 13.5) in those who underwent early arthroplasty and 61.23 (± 2.6) in those who underwent late arthroplasty (p = 0.002). The average VAS score was 1.7 (1–3) in those who underwent early arthroplasty and 2.6 (1–5) in those who underwent late arthroplasty (p= 0.102)
Conclusion:
Early arthroplasty is a safer option with better functional results and lower complication rates than late arthroplasty in patients with complex acetabular fractures with coxarthrosis. In patients with complex acetabular fractures with coxarthrosis, early arthroplasty should be preferred when the surgeon is not sure about early or late arthroplasty.

Uso do Tramadol em Cães: uma Breve Revisão
Authors: Gabriela Trettene Lorraine , Lunardi Michele , Cristina Barros Isabelle , Aparecida Godoi Kemper Daniella
Published: April 2021

O uso do tramadol vem sendo comumente e amplamente realizado na Medicina Veterinária nos últimos anos, o qual vem sendo utilizado tanto para dor aguda quanto para dor crônica. O tramadol é um opioide atípico com baixa afinidade por receptores µ (mu), e com ação monoaminérgica através da inibição da recaptação de norepinefrina e liberação de serotonina. O principal metabólito que é resultante da metabolização do tramadol nas isoenzimas do complexo P450 no fígado, é chamado de O-dismetiltramadol (M1), sendo o principal metabólito responsável pelo efeito analgésico do tramadol. No entanto, esse metabólito é encontrado em uma menor concentração em cães, quando comparado a gatos e humanos. E isso levou a um certo questionamento quanto a eficácia analgésica do tramadol em cães. Ademais, vários estudos já foram realizados avaliando os efeitos do tramadol, tanto em questões farmacocinéticas e farmacodinâmicas quanto em questões de avaliação de doses, vias de administração, e eficácia analgésica. Portanto, estudos a respeito do uso do tramadol em cães são crescentes, sendo necessário que os médicos veterinários se mantenham atualizados, para que possam empregar o fármaco de maneira eficaz. Diante de tais fatos, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão de literatura científica dos principais estudos relacionados ao uso do tramadol em cães.

Abstract

The use of tramadol has been commonly and widely used in Veterinary Medicine in recent years, which has been used for both acute and chronic pain. Tramadol is an atypical opioid with low affinity for µ receptors, and with monoaminergic action through inhibition of norepinephrine reuptake and serotonin release. The main metabolite that results from the metabolization of tramadol in the isoenzymes of the P450 complex in the liver, is called O-dismethyltramadol (M1), being the main metabolite responsible for the analgesic effect of tramadol. However, this metabolite is found in a lower concentration in dogs, when compared to cats and humans. This led to some questioning as to the analgesic efficacy of tramadol in dogs. In addition, several studies have been carried out evaluating the effects of tramadol, both on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic issues and on questions of dose assessment, routes of administration, and analgesic efficacy. Therefore, studies on the use of tramadol in dogs are growing, and it is necessary that veterinarians keep up to date, so that they can use the drug effectively. Given these facts, the present study aimed to conduct a scientific literature review of the main studies related to the use of tramadol in dogs.

Published: April 2021

Embora a produção sustentável e a agroecologia tenham relevância e vasta quantidade de artigos, há insuficiência de materiais sistemáticos que auxiliem no emprego operativo das características sustentáveis na produção. Esse trabalho traz uma base conceitual que direciona para a sistematização pragmática, no que diz respeito à produção orgânica, por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica. A produção de alimentos em sistemas agroecológicos tem por princípios a adoção de práticas de uso saudável e consciente dos recursos naturais. A produção de orgânicos no Brasil vem apresentando crescimento significativo. Esse avanço está sendo possível devido ao modelo diversificado dos mecanismos de controle de qualidade para produtos de origem ecológica, uma vez que há maior acesso para o registro dos mesmos. Porém, o setor enfrenta várias dificuldades, como problemas de logística, processos burocráticos na certificação e déficit de insumos, além de carência de informações técnicas. Para que tais barreiras sejam superadas, investimentos em pesquisas científicas para aprimorar as técnicas de produção e estratégias de marketing para promoção dos alimentos orgânicos são recursos indispensáveis para o avanço do sistema. Além disso, o governo deve desenvolver políticas para ampliação da produção, oferta e consumo de produtos orgânicos para fortalecer e incentivar tal modelo produtivo.

 Abstract

Although sustainable production and agroecology have relevance and a vast number of articles, there is a lack of systematic materials that assist in the operational use of sustainable characteristics in production. This work provides a conceptual basis that leads to pragmatic systematization, regarding organic production, through a bibliographic review. The food production in agroecological systems is based on the adoption of healthy and conscious use of natural resources practices. Organic production in Brazil has been showing significant growth. This progress is being made possible due to the diversified model of quality control mechanisms for ecological origin products, since there is greater access to their registration. However, the sector faces several difficulties, such as logistical problems, bureaucratic processes in certification and deficit of inputs, in addition to a lack of technical information. For these barriers to be overcome, investments in scientific research to improve production techniques and marketing strategies for promoting organic food are indispensable resources for the system advancement. In addition, the government must develop policies to expand the production, supply and consumption of organic products to strengthen and encourage such a productive model.

Diante de grandes avanços em técnicas de nutrição, manejo, sanidade e melhoramento animal, o Brasil se consolidou líder em exportações de carnes. Assim, pesquisadores, técnicos e produtores têm procurado trabalhar em prol de melhorar a eficiência da fermentação ruminal, para aumentar a produção de propionato, e diminuir a metanogênese, a proteólise e a desaminação das proteínas do alimento no rúmen. Estas mudanças levam, positivamente, a melhoria na eficiência produtiva dos ruminantes. Essa eficiência pode ser alcançada através de melhorias nos índices zootécnicos, utilização e avaliação de raças mais produtivas aos diversos sistemas de produção utilizados no Brasil e, ainda, técnicas como a utilização de aditivos que são usados para melhorar a eficiência dos alimentos, estimulando o crescimento, e engorda dos animais dispostos, ou apenas para beneficiar, de alguma forma, a saúde e o metabolismo dos animais. Tentativas para alcançar a melhor eficiência são realizadas com técnicas de manipulação da dieta, assim, durante as últimas décadas, certo número de aditivos alimentares tem sido descoberto, e quando usados na alimentação dos ruminantes esses podem satisfazer alguns ou quase todos os objetivos em pesquisas. Sendo assim, a elaboração deste estudo se mostra necessária, buscando elucidar todos estes fatores preponderantes para a melhoria dos processos produtivos na nutrição de ruminantes.

Abstract

Considering major advances in nutrition, management techniques, and improving animal health, Brazil is a consolidated leader in meat exports. Thus, researchers, technicians and producers have sought to work towards improving the efficiency of ruminal fermentation, to increase the production of propionate, and decrease methanogenesis, proteolysis and the proteins deamination in food. This efficiency can be achieved through improvements in zootechnical indices, utilization and evaluation of more productive breeds to the various production systems used in Brazil, as well as techniques such as the use of additives that are used to improve food efficiency, stimulating growth, and fattening animals, or just to somehow benefit the animals’ health and metabolism. These changes lead, positively, to the improvement in ruminants’ production efficiency. Attempts to achieve the best efficiency are made with diet manipulation techniques, during the last decades a number of food additives have  been discovered, and when used in the ruminants’ feeding can satisfy some or almost all the research objectives. Thus, this study is necessary, seeking to elucidate all these factors for the improvement of the production processes in ruminant nutrition.

Published: April 2021

A soja (Glycine max L.) é principal cultura do agronegócio brasileiro e tornou-se a mais expressiva economicamente no país, tanto pelo aumento da área cultivada quanto pelas novas tecnologias disponibilizadas aos produtores. As doenças podem ter origens fúngicas, bacterianas e viróticas e neste estudo destaca-se a murcha-de-Curtobacterium, causada pela bactéria gram-positiva Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens. O sintoma é caracterizado por uma mancha bacteriana marrom nas folhas de soja. O objetivo do trabalho foi expor os aspectos do patógeno C. flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens na cultura da soja, discutindo as principais estratégias de controle para minimizar os problemas com a doença. Deve-se ressaltar que, ao obter conhecimento sobre os aspectos agronômicos e os fatores limitantes da cultura da soja em relação à bactéria e seus principais aspectos biológicos, será possível a adoção das melhores técnicas de manejo da doença. Conclui-se que a busca por cultivares resistentes é de extrema importância no manejo da doença, uma vez que outros métodos de controle são pouco eficientes. Para alcançar o controle da mancha bacteriana marrom na cultura da soja é necessário a adoção conjunta de todas as técnicas de controle empregadas de forma unificada (manejo integrado da doença) visando a manutenção da população de C. flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens em baixos níveis.

Abstract

Soybean (Glycine max L.), is the main crop of Brazilian agribusiness, it has become the most economically important in the country, both due to the increase in cultivated area and the new technologies available to farmers. Diseases can have several origins, including fungal, bacterial and virotic, but in this study, we will talk about curtobacterium wilt, caused by a gram-positive bacterium Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens, responsible for brown bacterial wilt on soybean plants. The objective of this work was to expose the aspects of the pathogen Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens in soybean crops, discussing the main control strategies to minimize problems caused by this disease. It should be emphasized that gaining knowledge about the agronomic aspects and limiting factors of soybean crop in relation to the pathogen is necessary to reach the best management of the disease. We concluded that the search for resistant cultivars is extremely important for disease management, since other control methods are inefficient. To achieve the control of bacterial tan spot in soybean crop, it is necessary to joint adoption of all the control techniques used in a unified way (disease integrated management) aiming at maintaining the population of Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens at low levels.

Resíduos Orgânicos Desperdiçados do Setor de Hortifrutigranjeiros em um Supermercado de Caxias do Sul
Authors: Espíndola Ângela , Keller Alves Márcia
Published: April 2021

O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar quantitativa e qualitativamente os resíduos orgânicos desperdiçados do setor de hortifrutigranjeiros de um supermercado na cidade de Caxias do Sul. Para isso, utilizou-se a estrutura do Banco de Alimentos para pesar, separar e destinar à doação somente os resíduos íntegros. O cálculo do percentual das partes comestíveis se deu através do fator de correção, utilizando para os cálculos nutricionais somente o peso líquido. A coleta de 30 dias resultou em 17.047,20 kg de peso bruto de resíduos, com aproveitamento de 27,7%, sendo 15,55% provenientes de frutas e 12,18% de hortaliças. As frutas mais prevalentes foram banana, melancia, tomate e laranja, enquanto as principais hortaliças foram cebola, batata inglesa, batata doce e chuchu. Verificou-se que, se um indivíduo consumisse a quantidade de frutas e verduras recomendada pela Organização Mundial da Saúde, ele seria 100% atendido em relação ao valor energético, vitamina C e ferro por trinta e dois, vinte e sete e sete anos, respectivamente. O presente estudo mostrou que houve perda de alimentos com grande potencial nutricional, não somente em termos energéticos, mas também de micronutrientes, e que há urgência em projetos e ações que consigam aproveitar um percentual maior de alimentos desperdiçados neste setor.

Abstract

The current study aimed to analyze quantitatively and qualitatively the wasted organic residues from the horticultural sector of a supermarket in the city of Caxias do Sul. For this purpose, the structure of the Food Bank was used to weigh, sort and direct to the donation only the whole wast. The percentage of the edible parts was calculated using the correction factor, being used for the nutritional calculations only the net weight. The 30 days of collection resulted in 17,047.20 kg of gross waste weight, with a 27.7 % harnessing, of which 15.55 % were from fruits and 12.18 % from vegetables. The most prevalent fruits were banana, watermelon, tomato and orange, while the main vegetables were onion, potato, sweet potato and chayote. It was found that if an individual consumed the amount of fruits and vegetables recommended by the World Health Organization, one would be 100% attended in relation to energy value, vitamin C and iron for thirty-two, twenty-seven and seven years, respectively. The current study showed that there was loss of food with great nutritional potential, not only in energy terms but also in micronutrients, and that there is an urgent need for projects and actions that can take advantage of a greater percentage of wasted food in this sector.

Published: April 2021

Atualmente, novos métodos de tratamento contra o câncer estão sendo investigados para a obtenção de um bom prognóstico e menor índice de efeitos colaterais, e uma das terapias atuais sob investigação é a Fotobiomodulação (FBM). Sabe-se que a proliferação de células normais e tumorais pode ser estimulada ou inibida pela FBM, e esse processo vai depender dos parâmetros utilizados. O objetivo deste estudo foi conduzir uma revisão da literatura, a fim de avaliar os efeitos biológicos de diferentes parâmetros da FBM sobre cultura de células tumorais (osteossarcoma). Realizou-se busca na literatura através das bases de dados PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library e EMBASE. Os estudos mostraram que a FBM pode ser utilizada em células cancerígenas de forma a diminuir a sua proliferação, contudo, a falta de padronização dos protocolos de irradiação a laser para investigações in vitro não permite estabelecer os parâmetros ideais para esse fim. Com base nos achados relatados se pode sugerir que a FBM, em parâmetros específicos, pode promover a bioestimulação ou até mesmo a inibição das células cancerígenas, sendo necessários mais estudos para determinar os protocolos de tratamento ideais e, por isso, deve ser usada com cautela na prática clínica.

Abstract

Currently new  treatment methods against cancer have been investigated to obtain a good prognosis and a lower rate of side effects, and one of the current therapies under investigation is Photobiomodulation (PBM). It is known that the  normal and tumor cells proliferation can be stimulated or inhibited by PBM, and this process will depend on the parameters used. The objective of this study was to conduct a literature review in order to assess the biological effects of different  PBM parameters on tumor cell culture (osteosarcoma). Literature search was performed through the PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and EMBASE databases. Inclusion criteria were: to be an in vitro study with cancer cells, and to have at least one treatment group with PBM and a control group (without treatment). Studies have shown that PBM can be used in cancerous lesions in order to decrease the proliferation of these cells, however, the lack of standardization of laser irradiation protocols for in vitro investigations does not allow to establish the ideal parameters for this purpose. Based on the reported findings, it can be suggested that PBM in specific parameters may promote biostimulation or even inhibition of cancer cells. More studies are necessary to determine the ideal treatment protocols, and, because of this, it should be used with caution in clinical practice.

Authors: De Oliveira Bastos Paulo Roberto Haidamus , Vieira Raquel da Silva
Published: April 2021

A dengue se tornou um problema crescente de saúde pública devido as altas taxas de mortalidade e morbidade, além de impor uma carga econômica substancial em um país em desenvolvimento. O presente estudo objetivou revisar de forma sistemática a literatura científica atual para sintetizar o efeito do impacto econômico do tratamento de pacientes com dengue no Brasil. A pesquisa foi realizada entre os meses de agosto a outubro de 2019, nos bancos de dados Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieved System (MEDLINE), Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs) e Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD), totalizando uma amostra final de oito estudos. Diante dos achados, ficou evidente a escassez de estudos que abordam a temática do impacto na economia brasileira em consequência do tratamento de pacientes com dengue, revelando, a necessidade de investimentos em pesquisas científicas continuadamente, principalmente nas localizações geográficas distantes dos grandes centros de pesquisas científicas localizados na região Sudeste do país. O impacto do tratamento da doença no país é substancial, e, portanto, espera-se que este estudo possa estimular a expansão científica no país e orientar os formuladores de políticas para novas intervenções na saúde pública, a fim de diminuir a propagação da doença e minimizar dispêndios aos cofres públicos.

Abstract

Dengue has become a growing public health problem due to its high mortality and morbidity rates, as well as imposing substantial economic burden stemming from a developing country. The present study aimed to systematically review the current scientific literature to synthesize the economic impact effect of dengue patients treatment in Brazil. The research was performed between August and October 2019, in the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieved System (MEDLINE), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (Lilacs) and Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), totaling a final sample of eight studies. In view of the findings, it was evident the scarcity of studies addressing the theme of the impact on the Brazilian economy as a result of the dengue patients treatment, revealing the need for investments in scientific research continuously, especially in the geographical locations distant from the large scientific research centers located in the Southeast region of the country. The impact of the  disease treatment in the country is substantial, and therefore it is expected that this study can stimulate scientific expansion in the country and guide policymakers to new interventions in public health, in order to reduce the spread of the disease and minimize expenditures to public coffers.

Authors: Khatun Halima , Islam M. Saiful , Islam Tarikul
Published: April 2021

Background: Eclampsia is defined as the occurrence of one or more convulsions in association with the syndrome of preeclampsia. In Bangladesh, eclampsia is the 3rd major cause of maternal death. Magnesium sulfate is now the drug of choice for women with eclampsia for controlling convulsion with strong evidence that it is better than diazepam, phenytoin or lytic cocktail. Aim of the study was to find out the effective role of loading dose of magnesium sulfate in the treatment of the convulsion in eclampsia.Methods: Prospective comparative study. In the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Rajshahi Medical College Hospital (RMCH)" from January 2008 to December 2008. A total of 100 eclamptic patients who are eligible for magnesium sulfate therapy were purposively assigned to receive either only loading "dose or traditional dose for control of convulsion. Data was organized and the results were presented in tables, figures, diagram etc. by using SPSS-10 and MS-Excel 2016.Results: The mean (±SD) convulsion (fit) and delivery interval was 7.95±1.33. Regained consciousness was predominant 28(56.0%) patients after initiation of treatment. Maternal death was found 1 (2.00%). The cause of maternal mortality was due to renal failure. The mean (±SD) respiratory rate was 20.2±4.19min. Normal urine was found 43(86.0%). Normal knee jerks were found 45 (90.0%). No toxicity developed in any group assessed by the parameters like respiratory rate, urine volume and knee jerks.Conclusions: For the above reasons eclampsia can be treated effectively by only loading dose of Mgs04 in primary as well as tertiary level hospital which will significantly reduce the maternal morbidity and mortality.

Published: April 2021

Background: Anemia is one of the most common nutritional deficiency disorders affecting the pregnant women, and is a worldwide problem. In India, prevalence ranges from 23.6%-61.4% and contributes to 80% of maternal mortality as a direct or indirect cause. This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose in antenatal women with moderate anemia in the second and third trimester of pregnancy.Methods: Prospective clinical study; total of 100 antenatal women with moderate anemia in second and third trimester were included in the study from January 2019 to September 2019 and given 1000mg of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose injection. Efficacy was assessed by rate of improvement in hemoglobin at 3 and 6 weeks post infusion. Safety analysis was done by assessing the adverse drug reactions and fetal heart monitoring during the infusion.Results: A total 100 antenatal women with median gestational age of 28week at presentation received 1000mg of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose. There was rise in hemoglobin from 8.3gm% before injection to 11.12gm% 6 weeks post infusion, showing a mean rise of 2.8gm%. There were no reports of drug related major adverse effects in the mother or the fetus.Conclusions: From this study, ferric carboxymaltose is found to be safe and effective treatment option for anemia in pregnancy.

Background: Before the induction of labour cervical ripening is needed for the success of induction to reduce the complication and diminish the rate of cesarean section and duration of labour. Various mechanical methods like Foleys catheter are effective but not much popular because of infection and pharmacological preparations which have more side effects, are used for cervical ripening. Therefore study has been conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of intra cervical Foleys catheter versus PGE2 gel for induction of labour at term. The aims and objectives of this study was to success of induction of labour depends on the cervical status at the time of induction.Methods: A prospective comparative study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynecology, L.G. hospital (AMCMET Medical college), Ahmedabad, during period of July 2019 to December 2019. 100 patients at term with a Bishop’s score with various indications for induction were randomly allocated to receive (50 patients) intra cervical Foleys catheter or PGE2 gel (50 patients). Post induction Bishop’s score was noted after 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours. Statistical methods used were Student t test and Chi square test to statistically compare the two groups. Differences with a p value of <0.005 was considered statistically significant with confidence limit of 95%.Results: The groups were comparable with respect to maternal age, gestational age, parity, indication of induction and initial bishops score. Both groups showed significant change in the Bishops score, 5.10±1.55 and 5.14±1.60 for Foleys catheter and PGE2 gel, respectively, p<0.001. Fetal outcome was noted in NICU admission and fetal death. No significant difference between two groups.Conclusions: This study shows that both Foleys catheter and PGE2 gel were equally effective in pre induction cervical ripening.
