This study empirically investigated the effect of macroeconomic variables on financial performance in Nigeria healthcare sector. It spanned for the period of 2008-2018 and utilized annual time series secondary data extracted from annual reports and financial statements of the selected firms. Ex-post facto research design was adopted while analytical techniques employed were descriptive statistics, fully modified ordinary least squares panel regression and Pearson correlation analysis. Findings revealed that changes in macroeconomic indices play significant roles on the financial position of Healthcare manufacturing firms in Nigeria. Particularly, result showed that exchange rate, interest rate, external debt and trade openness have negative effect while inflation rate exert positive influence to financial position of Healthcare manufacturing firms in Nigeria. Among the selected macroeconomic variables, the effects of exchange rate and inflation rate were significant. Implication of the result is that unstable macroeconomy is harmful to healthy growth of Healthcare manufacturing firms in Nigeria. The study therefore recommended among other things that exchange rate should be monitored while economic policy measures aimed at controlling exchange rate in Nigeria should be established. High rate of interest should also be regulated and set to a rate favourable to the growth of Healthcare manufacturing companies in Nigeria. Federal government of Nigeria should work towards reducing their level of borrowing from foreign countries and as well reduce volume of trade openness for overall performance of manufacturing sector in Nigeria.

SENILITY AND COGNITIVE PERFORMANCE: ANALYSIS OF WECHSLER SCALE IN ELDERLY WITH MAJOR NEUROCOGNITIVE DISORDER
Authors: Cecato Juliana , Galeote Livia
Published: December 2021

Background: CHC theory is a hierarchical model of intelligence, organized through cognitive skills and dividing the construct into crystallized and fluid. Objective: To describe the correlation among crystallized and fluid abilities in healthy people diagnosed with dementia. Methods: 45 subjects with 50 to 89 years old and at least 1 year of schooling. They were submitted to a detailed clinical interview and, later, to a neuropsychological evaluation. RAVLT, Wechsler Intelligence Scale (WAIS-III or WASI) and FDT were applied. Sample was divided into 2 groups: healthy elderly (without cognitive and functional decline) and those diagnosed with dementia (GE). The diagnosis of dementia was based on the DSM-5. Results: RAVLT and the Wechsler Scale differentiated HE from DG (p <0.0001). FDT did not show a statistically significant difference in the Counting, Reading and Inhibition items, showing that tasks involve time were not able to differentiate healthy individuals from DG. To compare the performance IQ it is evident that the performance in fluid skills is less effective, when compared to the crystallized items (IQ verbal), in differentiating healthy subjects from dementia. Conclusion: Tasks involving learning, delayed recall memory and recognition, that is, crystallized tasks, are more effective in differentiating dementia when compared to fluid tasks (processing speed).
MUSIC THERAPY IN DEMENTIA PATIENTS: WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Authors: Gomes Monique , Rodrigues Amanda , Rosa Indianara , Sampaio Daniel Perez
Published: December 2021

Background: Dementia is an acquired status, characterized by a decline in at least two cognitive domains, severe enough to affect social or occupational functioning. The standard pharmacological treatment for dementia has limited efficacy, especially in non-cognitive outcomes. Music therapy (MT) is being studied as anon-pharmacological therapy for Dementia, due to its stimulating effects. Objective: Understand the main benefits of MT in dementia patients, through a systematic review. Methods: A literature research was carried out using the databases: PubMed and Scielo. The period of publication was limited from 2016 to 2021, with the search keywords: Music Therapy, Dementia. 297 studies were found, and 15 met the inclusion criteria for our review. Results: MT includes passive (listening to music) and active participation, such as playing instruments, singing or songwriting. Listening to music is linked with wild cortical activation and is a strong stimulus for neuroplastic changes. MT provides multimodal skills, performing integration of various cognitive functions, such as memory and attention, especially in interactive interventions. Conclusion: Studies showed mixed results, especially due to the lack of standardized methods for musical stimulus, but in general, MT was considered to improve verbal and language fluency, anxiety and depression levels, apathy, cognitive function and quality of life, and decrease neuronal degeneration by enhancing cerebral plasticity.

Published: December 2021

Background: Neuropsychological tests are important tools for the diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment or dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Objective: To investigate the accuracy of common neuropsychological tests used in the clinical setting for AD diagnosis. Methods: Forty two patients with diagnosis of AD continuum [A+T+/-(N)+/-] and 32 non-AD [A-T+/-(N)+/-]. All participants were submitted to a thorough neuropsychological assessment with the following instruments: Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (DRS), Rey’s Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT), Boston naming-Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer’s Disease, a reduced version of the CERAD, Digit Span Forward (DSF), Digit Span Backward (DSB) and Cubes from The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), verbal fluency – animals (VF-A), and FAS. Results: Memory (MEM) and Initiation/Perseveration (I/P) subscales of the DRS, FAS, Digit Span Backward (DSB) and Boston naming displayed good discrimination between AD and non-AD patients. The MEM subscale of the DRS, RAVLT A6 and FAS presented high sensitivity (90% or more) for AD diagnosis, while DSF displayed high specificity. Non-AD patients had greater difficulty in FAS, DSB and in Boston naming. Conclusion: Performance of patients with biological diagnosis of AD on MEM and I/P of DRS, and RAVLT A7 was significantly different from that of non-AD subjects.

Background: Literature data emphasize that the recent spread of the new Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has triggered several mental health issues such as depression and anxiety disorders. Fear of the illness and social distancing have shown to be risk factors for mood disorders. It is thus necessary to study the relation between mood disorders in older adults during the pandemic. Objective: Analyze the relation between mood disorders and COVID-19 in older adults within the pandemic framework. Methods: Cross-sectional study with the application of the following tools: Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS15) and Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI). Results: 428 older adults with an average age of 67.54±5.65 years were evaluated. Most of them were married females with an education level of 14.72±3.54 years and only 10% of them had fallen ill to COVID-19. 71% of them reported changes in mood and anxiety levels due to the pandemic. There was also a significant statistical difference between this group and the other 29% regarding GDS15 and GAI scores (p <0.001). Meaningful correlations were found between GDS and GAI (rho = 0.52 / ρ = 0,001) in which the larger the depressive symptomatology, the higher the anxiety level was. Conclusion: Results suggest that there have been associations between depression and anxiety symptoms in older adults during the pandemic period. Such findings are important for the implementation of social and health public policies.

Published: December 2021

Background: Telerehabilitation (TR) can be an alternative of safe health intervention for elderly with dementia, however, there’s no studies in Brazil involving this theme. Objective: To analyze the effects of TR on executive functions in elderly people with dementia. Methods: Ten elderly people with dementia were randomized into two groups: Telerehabilitation (TG) (n=5) and Control (CG) (n=5), being followed for 12 weeks. The TG received systematic cognitive and physical exercises with professional monitoring, while the CG received non-systematized guidance. Participants were assessed pre, immediately after three-month and after a follow-up of 3 months, obtaining the Clock Drawing test (CDT) to assess executive functions. Results: In the pre-intervention, the mean performance of the CG was 5.4±2.9 and of the GT was 5.4±3.2. In the evaluation right after the intervention, the CG mean maintained (5.4±3.0), while the TG showed an improvement in the performance of the CDT, with a mean of 7.2±2.5. Finally, after three months of follow-up, the CG had a worsening with a mean of 4.2±3.1) while the TG had a slight reduction mean of 6.4±2.8.The twoway ANOVA statistical test showed that TG performance was better compared to the CG (p= 0.01). Conclusion: By the results presented, we can consider that the intervention was beneficial to the improvement of the subject’s executive functions.

Published: December 2021

Background: Learning and retrieving proper names is one of the most common complaints among older adults. However, this aspect is not commonly assessed in this population. Objective: To develop an anterograde episodic memory assessment tool that measures the ability to learn, retain and retrieve face-name associations and test its application. Methods: The face-name association (FNAT) has 2 versions (A and B) and involves learning, free recall and recognition of 12 pairs. FNAT was applied to 86 community dwelling older adults, aged 69(±6), schooling 13(±3). (64 did version A, 57 B and 35 AB). Second test (AB) occurred 2-3 months after the first. Results: In both versions, recognition scores were higher than learning and free recall respectively (version A 47±24%, 34±25%, 76±20%; version B 51±26%, 41±26%, 74±24%). In the subgroup that performed both versions, no significant differences were found between the three subtests. Conclusion: FNAT was applied successfully in our sample. Test and retest effects were not observed and the two versions demonstrated an equivalent level of difficulty. Further studies are needed to explore cutoff scores according to aging and education.
RIGHT VS. LEFT TEMPORAL LOBE SEMIOLOGY IN DEMENTIA: LESSONS FROM TWO CASES WITH FOCAL FRONTOTEMPORAL DEMENTIA SYNDROMES
Authors: Arca Vitor , Albuquerque Pedro , Correia Victor , Pires Amanda , Araújo Hugo , Araújo Luziany , Barbosa Breno
Published: December 2021

Background: Case 1: a 59-year old man presented to our service with 4 years of progressive cognitive and behavioral symptoms. He became forgetful and experienced difficulties managing his payments. After 4 years he could no longer recognise his relatives. Cognitive assessment showed a mini-mental status examination of 17/30. MRI and SPECT revealed respectively focal atrophy and hipoperfusion of the frontal regions and anterior right temporal lobe. Case 2: a 72-year-old woman was brought to evaluation with a 5-years history of progressive language and behavioral deterioration. Her family reported early speech errors and behavioral changes, with a marked aggressiveness, ritualistic behaviors and hyperorality. Cognitive evaluation revealed a MMSE of 6/30 mainly due to a relatively fluent afasia. Brain MRI showed asymmetric cerebral atrophy, more prominent in the anterior left temporal lobe. Objective: N/H Methods: N/H Results: N/H Conclusion: We describe two cases of suspected frontotemporal dementia (FTD) syndromes. The left ATL may receive proportionately more input from the lexical and phonological centers subserving word processing. The right ATL may receive more input from right-lateralized emotion processing hubs. Focal atrophy of the left anterior temporal lobe has been associated with the semantic type of primary progressive aphasia evolving to semantic dementia. In contrast, focal atrophy of the right temporal lobe has recently been described as a controversial entity reported as the right temporal variant of FTD.

Published: December 2021

Background: Visual atrophy scales from the medial temporal region are auxiliary biomarker methods in Alzheimer’s Disease(AD).They may correlated with progression from preclinical to clinical AD. Objective: We aimed to compare medial temporal lobe atrophy (MTA) and entorhinal cortex atrophy (ERICA) scales for magnetic resonance image as a useful tool for probable AD diagnosis and evaluate their accuracy, sensitivity and specificity, regarding clinical diagnosis and 11C-PIB-PET. Methods: 2 neurologists blinded to diagnosis classified 113 adults (over 65y) through MTA and ERICA scales and correlated with sociodemographic data, amyloid brain cortical burden through the 11C-PIB-PET and clinical cognitive status, divided into 30 cognitive unimpaired (CU) individuals, 52 MCI and 31 dementia compatible with AD (DCAD). Results: Inter-rater reliability of these atrophy scales was excellent (0.8- 1) by Cohen analysis. CU group had significantly lower MTA scores (median value 0) than ERICA (median value 1)for both hemispheres. 11C-PIB-PET was positive in 45% of the whole sample. In MCI and DCAD groups, ERICA depicted greater sensitivity and MTA greater specificity. Accuracy was under 70% for both scores in all clinical groups. Conclusion: Our study achieved a moderate sensitivity for ERICA score and could be a better screening tool for DCAD or MCI than MTA score. But, none of them could be considered a useful biomarker in preclinical AD.

Background: Healthy aging it is possible to compensate for normative changes in cognitive performance, such as during digital learning, in which processes can benefit the global cognition and mood of healthy older adults. Objective: To verify the impacts of computerized cognitive training through an online platform, on mood, frequency of forgetfulness, memory complaints and quality of life of active older adults. Methods: 66 healthy elderly people were invited and divided into two groups, training group (n=32) and control group (n=34). Protocol: a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Memory Complaint Questionnaire (MAC-Q), a MAC-Nair forgetfulness frequency scale, the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15), the Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI), and a questionnaire of Quality of Life Assessment Control, Autonomy, Selfrealization and Pleasure (CASP-19). Results: Elderly aged 60 to 92 years, who attended higher education (39.39%) and postgraduate education (42.42%). Participants in the training group had a reduction in the MAC-Q, MAC-Nair and GAI scores, post-cognitive intervention, and the deltas of the scores (Post – Pre). Additionally, there were significant differences between groups, in the total quality of life scale - CASP 19 - in the posttest. Conclusion: That participating in a computerized cognitive intervention made it possible to reduce memory complaints, reduce the frequency of forgetfulness, reduce anxiety symptoms and improve self-reported quality of life.

Introdução: A sífilis congênita constitui um problema mundial de saúde. Milhares de gestantes se infectam a cada ano. A sífilis congênita, quando não tratada precocemente, desencadeia vários problemas, como: parto prematuro, aborto, morte fetal, entre outros. O crescente número de novos casos relaciona-se com a baixa escolaridade, múltiplos parceiros, uso de drogas, baixa condição socioeconômica. Objetivo: Descrever a prevalência de sífilis congênita nos últimos cinco anos em uma maternidade pública do município de Fortaleza (CE). Métodos: Estudo descritivo, retrospectivo, realizado em uma maternidade do município de Fortaleza. Os dados foram coletados em consulta aos registros dos sistemas de informação do serviço durante o mês de maio de 2021. Adotaram-se os casos confirmados entre os anos de 2016 e 2020. Esta pesquisa foi aprovada pelocomitê de ética em pesquisa com parecer n. 1.899.089. Resultados: Identificaram-se 1.113 casos de sífilis congênita nos últimos cinco anos na referida maternidade, sendo esses distribuídos da seguinte forma: no ano de 2016, foram notificados 187 casos, correspondendo a 17% do total do período; em 2017, foram registrados 250 casos (22,4%); no ano de 2018, houve 262 casos (23,5%); no ano de 2019, ocorreram 181 casos (16,2%); até dezembro de 2020, foram notificados 233 casos (21%). Observou-se que ocorreu uma diminuição no número de casos no ano de 2019 quando comparado aos demais anos, podendo ser justificado pelo diagnóstico e tratamento precoce da sífilis ainda no pré-natal. Notou-se que houve um acréscimo de 52 casos no ano de 2020 quando comparado ao ano de 2019 e que isso pode estar relacionado com o início do período pandêmico, que dificultou o acesso ao pré-natal e consequente diagnóstico precoce. Conclusão: Identificou-se um elevado número de casos, o que pode estar relacionado à carência na assistência do pré-natal e falta de intervenções educativas e medidas de prevenção da infecção.

Introduction: Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) causes lesions in the orolabial and anogenital region that last for a lifetime. Data show that about 491.5 million people live with HSV-2. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the epidemiological profile of HSV-2 infection in a population of transgender women in Goiânia-GO and cities in the interior of the state. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that estimates the prevalence of HSV-2 in transgender women residing or in transit in the metropolitan region of Goiânia and cities in the interior of the state. The Respondent-Driven Sampling (RDS) method was used for recruitment (sample size), the prevalence of HSV-2 was assessed by enzyme immunoassay. Statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS). The database was analyzed to generate an adjusted prevalence of the characteristics of the study population. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Universidade Federal de Goiás. Results: The prevalence was 8.2% (95% CI 5.0-12.2) for anti-HSV-2 IgM and 70.0% (95% CI 63.0-77.3) for anti-HSV-2 IgG; the bivariate analysis showed an association between positivity by IgG HSV-2 and age >30 years (p<0.0001), exchange of sex for money/drugs or consumer goods (p=0.002), more than 20 sexual partnerships in the past 7 days (p=0.001), and insertive anal sex (p=0.011); in the multivariate analysis, age ≥30 years (p=0.001) and more than 20 sexual partnerships in the past 7 days (p=0.008) were shown statistically related to HSV-2 infection. Conclusion: The data showed a high seroprevalence of HSV-2 among transgender women in the state of Goiás, indicating the need to develop public policies aimed at sexual education and improve this population’s health conditions.

Introdução: A sífilis é uma doença de alta incidência no Brasil e, quando ocorre durante a gravidez, tem implicações importantes na saúde pública, pois é responsável por altos índices de mortalidade e morbidade fetal perinatal. Objetivo: Verificar a prevalência da sífilis gestacional, o perfil epidemiológico da gestante e os desfechos, como a sífilis congênita. Métodos: Estudo descritivo e retrospectivo de dados maternos e de recém-nascidos obtidos das fichas de notificação do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação, de prontuários e livro de parto da maternidade do Hospital Estadual de Atenção Clínica, no período de janeiro de 2017 a dezembro de 2019. Resultados: Quatrocentas e dezoito gestantes com sífilis tiveram o desfecho da gravidez no Hospital Estadual de Atenção Clínica. A soroprevalência para sífilis nas gestantes foi de 3,95% em 2017, 4,92% em 2018 e de 4,73% em 2019. Receberam tratamento adequado antes do parto 204 (48,8%) mulheres. Entre os desfechos, todos foram notificados como sífilis congênita, sendo 45 (10,7%) abortos ou natimortos e, entre os nascidos vivos, 58 (15,54%) foram prematuros e 67 (17,9%) apresentavam alguma manifestação clínica. Conclusão: O número de gestantes internadas no Hospital Estadual de Atenção Clínica que foram notificadas com sífilis gestacional foi superior à média de notificação para esses agravos encontrada no Brasil nos anos estudados, porém foi similar à média encontrada no estado do Rio de Janeiro. Foi identificada supernotificação de sífilis congênita, tendo sido incluídos nesse diagnóstico recém-nascidos expostos a sífilis sem critérios para sífilis congênita. Nosso sistema de notificação se mostrou frágil e incapaz de avaliar a real situação da sífilis congênita no Hospital Estadual de Atenção Clínica.
Rumiar nuestras heridas. Del dolor social a la potencia colectiva
Authors: Pena Daniel
Published: December 2021

The article explores in a conceptual way the possibility of processing in collective, group and personal spaces the multiple wounds of our biographies as a motor of problematization and collective empowerment. Taking as a base the intersection of Political ecology, environmental affectivity and bodies and emotions´ sociology; it reflects on the social wounds that make up our short and long memory in the midst of power relations and predation. It focuses on the ways in which «pain becomes silent», especially in the disaffection of violence towards the human and non-human. Finally, a conception of politics as a continuous (re) composition of life (in common) is proposed, in contrast to the idea of the reproduction of life, based on the etymology of the words composition and production.
(Des)corporalizaciones. La muerte de una cascada y las luchas por sostener la vida durante la pandemia en la Amazonía ecuatoriana
Authors: Coba Lisset
Published: December 2021

During the pandemic, the collapse of the San Rafael waterfall and the spill of thousands of barrels of crude oil has caused serious damage to aquatic ecosystems, a chain of catastrophes that affect the health and well-being of people. The Amazonian cosmologies that view the waterfalls as magnificent bodies that protect the lives that inhabit them, watch their death in amazement. In the dislocated landscape of the neoliberal Capitalocene whose precondition is the channeling of vital energy for the growth of capital, I observe how the de-corporalising fetishism of affects turns the work of the extended reproduction of life into financial figures. This is an ecofeminist reading of financializing dislocations and rebellious embodiments, insurrections that combine new kinships between diverse struggles. The challenge is an ecosystem look that displaces the sovereignty of the subject, a shamanic vision of double consciousness: historical materiality and material contiguity of the world.
OBSERVAȚII DESPRE RĂZBOIUL DE A CINCEA GENERAȚIE ŞI CEL DE-AL DOILEA RĂZBOI DIN NAGORNO-KARABAKH
Authors: POPESCU Alba Iulia Catrinel
Published: December 2021

Cel de-al doilea război din Nagorno-Karabakh, din toamna anului 2020, este considerat a fi un punct de inflexiune în privinţa modului de purtare a războiului. Dacă, până atunci, războiul de a cincea generaţie reprezenta doar un subiect teoretic, iar doctrina tradiţională care susţinea că superioritatea aeriană este o condiție prealabilă pentru câștigarea unui război terestru devenise obiect de studiu al istoricilor militari, cea mai recentă exacerbare a conflictului armeano-azer din Transcaucazia a schimbat radical situaţia. Războiul de a cincea generaţie, dominat de acțiuni noncinetice, în defavoarea celor cinetice, de înalte tehnologii, în defavoarea mijloacelor clasice, convenționale, este cât se poate de real, iar teoria puterii aeriene revine în forţă. Articolul de faţă îşi propune să răspundă la următoarele întrebări: Care sunt caracteristicile războiului de a cincea generaţie?

Published: December 2021

Situația din perioada anilor 1941-1946 a fost deosebit de complexă, o perioadă în care armata română a participat la operații militare atât în campania din est, dusă împotriva armatei ruse, cât și în campania din vest, dusă împotriva armatei germane, care ne-a fost aliată o perioadă de timp. Pentru conducerea și coordonarea acțiunilor militare, comandamentele române existente sau constituite în funcție de nevoile curente au cooperat îndeaproape atât cu cele germane, cât și cu cele ruse, începând cu momentul în care am întors armele împotriva germanilor. Pe parcursul ambelor campanii, structurile din cadrul comandamentelor române au fost unele nou înființate, și altele organizate și reorganizate, în funcție de nevoile pe care le-a cerut situația curentă. Printre aceste structuri, existau și cele de geniu, care conduceau și coordonau toate activitățile specifice. În cadrul acestui studiu, mi-am propus să identific organizarea și rolul structurilor de geniu, din cadrul comandamentelor române, în conducerea și coordonarea acțiunilor genistice din perioada 1941-1946, cu scopul de a face ulterior, în cadrul unui alt studiu, o analiză comparativă cu structurile de geniu din armata română existente la această dată.

Schimbările climatice petrecute în ultimele două decenii, la care se adaugă criza sanitară, generată de virusul SARS-CoV 2, impun autorităților publice centrale și locale să ia toate măsurile și, totodată, să acționeze cu toate resursele avute la dispoziție pentru păstrarea sănătății și vieții populației, precum și pentru protejarea valorilor materiale și culturale ale acesteia. În pofida faptului că Armata României îndeplinește funcții de sprijin, aceasta deține capabilități unice a căror întrebuințare devine indispensabilă pentru gestionarea situațiilor de urgență civile. Raportat la sarcinile care trebuie executate, pentru limitarea și lichidarea urmărilor provocate de dezastre, structurile de geniu  din Armata română reprezintă capabilitatea cea mai adecvată prin faptul că acestea sunt capabile să intervină în majoritatea situațiilor. Cu toate acestea, capabilitățile militare de geniu trebuie perfecționate și adaptate permanent, astfel încât să fie apte să răspundă noilor tipuri de riscuri care se pot ivi.

A segurança das estruturas de concreto armado é garantida pelo correto dimensionamento às solicitações normais no estado-limite último. Os domínios de deformação propostos pela ABNT NBR 6118 de 2014 determinam as bases para o cálculo analítico de estruturas de concreto armado na ruptura, assumindo hipóteses básicas para simplificar a situação real. Por outro lado, o Método de Elementos Finitos auxilia na resolução de problemas complexos de meio contínuo por meio da divisão em elementos menores. Diante disso, buscou-se, neste estudo, desenvolver modelos numéricos que pudessem comprovar a precisão do cálculo analítico por meio de simulações de vigas de concreto armado no programa computacional Abaqus®. São apresentados o desenvolvimento das equações para um modelo de cálculo analítico, bem como o desenvolvimento do modelo numérico, cujos resultados foram objeto de análise comparativa do modo de falha. O modelo analítico se mostrou concordante com o modelo numérico; o primeiro por meio de dados quantitativos e, o segundo, por resultados gráficos, acabando por prever, de forma correta, o modo de ruptura de cada viga.
