Towards Asnafs' Islamic Self-Actualization Process Through Sustainable Balance Scorecard (BSC) Approach
Authors: Al Haq M Ashraf , Abd. Wahab Norazlina
Published: March 2021

Although the literature is adamant on performance assessment, sustainability, self-actualisation, and so on, understanding its ‘inter-role' in asnaf (zakat recipient) welfare and its implicative magnitudes is a positive input in augmenting the zakat spectrum. And though the goal is to have self-actualisation that depends on attaining sustainable measures in each derivation. In Islam, self-actualisation is suggestively dissimilar than the conventional wisdom because the so-called self-interest motive remains inopportunely missing in such Islamic set-ups since the importance of collective-notion simply overrides the self-goals, and in turn, human development and its dignity as well as the societal progression becomes paramount in such social orders. Hence, the ‘Islamic self-actualisation' is purely and necessarily based on a balanced social development (Maslahah ‘Ammah) through the correction of one-self (tazkiatun Nafs) while preserving the future generations' (hifzul nasl) welfare and so on. Henceforth, it is important to protect the honour of self and the society (ird) and maintaining intellect (aql) and wealth (maal) for improving the social cohesion (Ukhuwah or brotherhood) in communities. As the unswerving goal of a zakat recipient (Asnaf) is to have his faith, life, intellect, honour, and wealth well protected, it is expected that he or she can withstand the consequences of life but remain proactive in society. And in the end, the recipient may opt-out the spell of remaining as asking-basket-syndrome in the shortest time possible through the effective zakat initiatives and incentives to overcome pointless uncertain environmental or other perennial shocks and similar.

Published: March 2021

There has been an increased public interest and awareness in waqf practices which is one of the most effective social finance instruments in Islam. History has proven that good governance practices affect the effective use of waqf property which has become one of the mechanisms for wealth creation in a country. Unfortunately, most of institutional mutawalli are facing challenges in their governance practices, leaving the waqf properties not fully utilized for the benefit of society. Thus, this chapter aims to examine in-depth the utilization of waqf property and governance practices of an institutional mutawalli under State Islamic Religious Councils (SRIC) in Malaysia. A qualitative method applied in this case study where formal and semi-structured interview conducted on a focus group involving those in leadership positions such as CEO and the top management of the institutional mutawalli. The first part of discussion is on governance practices of the institutional mutawalli, followed by discussion on their experiences and current execution in utilizing the use of waqf properties. This study identified the crucial characteristic in the waqf property. Several recommendations are made on how to improve the effective use of waqf property and best governance practice that can be implemented to help the institutional mutawalli attain their growth performance.

Published: March 2021

Institutional mutawalli is the institution responsible for maintaining and managing the waqf property. The success of the administration and management of the institution mutawalli is the key to professional and sound governance, which has certainly led to the sustainability and continuity of the institution. Good and proper governance promotes the optimal use and benefit of each entrusted waqf property to others. Previous studies have found that most institutional mutawalli face challenges in their governance practices, which is why these waqf properties are not used to archive their full impact on other beneficiaries. The aim of this study is therefore to understand the current utilization of waqf property in Malaysia and to explore governance practices based on the experience of higher education institutions as an institutional mutawalli (IM). A qualitative method is employed in this study using case studies with purposive sampling, where formal and semi-structured interviews were conducted with the selective representative of the IM. The participants are those in leadership positions, such as the CEO and the top management of the institution mutawalli from the higher education institution. The findings of this study discussed in detail the practice and experience of waqf institutions utilization and governance of their waqf properties. This study identifies the key characteristics of the waqf property that must be possessed by the utilization and management of the waqf property. The findings could also benefit similar and different institutional mutawallis and policy makers from identifying the essential interdependent characteristics to help them achieve growth performance.

Supervising and Empowering Generation Y and Z Cybersecurity Employees Through an Actionable Framework for Worker Engagement
Authors: Burrell Darrell Norman
Published: March 2021

A leading consulting and cybersecurity research firm, Consulting Ventures, predicted that cybercrime will cost $6 trilling annually by 2021. That amount is a significant increase from the $3 trillion in 2015. According to growing estimates, there could be as many as 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity jobs by 2021. This has created a need for new expertise and workers in cybersecurity and information security from Generation Y and Generation Z. These professionals have different career interests from previous generations in terms of work environments and cultures. These younger professionals are a product of new degree programs that have been newly developed in the last 10 years. But in order to attract, recruit, and retain this younger generation of professionals with these critically needed workforce skills, managers must consider alternative management approaches that look to empower, energize, and engage this new and different generation of employees instead of the use of micromanaging and controlling antiqued performance management approaches.
The Affordances of Digital Social Reading for EFL Learners
Authors: Solmaz Osman
Published: March 2021

The goal of this study is to illustrate the affordances mediated by digital socio-literacy practices of university-level EFL learners engaging in collaborative reading of texts from an ecological perspective. For this purpose, a total of 38 first-year undergraduate students taking a compulsory EFL course in Turkey participated in the research. Data collected from learners' digital annotations on a digital annotation tool (DAT) and reflective papers were qualitatively analyzed. As a result, the construct of affordance was operationalized in an EFL digital social reading context through indicators derived from learners' annotations. The findings based on student-reported data showed that digital collaborative reading practices had contextual, social, and linguistic affordances for EFL learners. Following the discussion of the findings, the study invites future research to examine L2 learners' practices in a DAT-mediated environment in relation to affordances for specific language areas such as grammar and writing.
POR QUE BRANQUITUDES, POR QUE (SOMENTE) AGORA?

Published: March 2021

As organizações são espaços historicamente marcados pela questão racial, ainda que não de maneira explícita. Se formalmente as organizações são discursivamente construídas como espaços neutros, nos quais as diferenças não importam, uma vez que a chamada cultura organizacional é que determinaria as condutas dos sujeitos neste espaço, objetivamente o que temos difere significativamente disso. As organizações reproduzem a sociedade que, no Brasil, é estruturada a partir de critérios raciais. Desta forma, os espaços organizacionais são demarcados a partir da raça. Não por acaso as pessoas negras recebem os menores salários e são também minoria no alto escalão das organizações. No entanto, neste texto buscamos uma inversão nos estudos tidos como tradicionais no que diz respeito às questões raciais e objetivamos refletir como a branquitude historicamente se construiu como o ideal a ser seguido, mantendo um sistema de privilégios que acompanha os sujeitos brancos até os dias de hoje. Pudemos perceber que na Administração os estudos a respeito da temática são ainda incipientes, no entanto, necessários e urgentes.
Clinico-radiological evaluation of post COVID-19 at a tertiary pulmonary care centre in Delhi, India
Authors: Goel Nitin , Goyal Nitesh , Kumar Raj
Published: March 2021

In the present COVID-19 pandemic situation, there is a gradual increase in number of patients with post-COVID-19 sequalae. The present study is a retrospective analysis of these post-COVID-19 patients presenting to one of the units of Viswanathan Chest Hospital, Vallabhbhai Patel Chest Institute, University of Delhi, Delhi in the period from 17 June 2020 to 22 October 2020. We analysed the demographic profile, history, functional assessment and all investigations of this study cohort. Out of the 2,165 patients provided consultation, there were 35 patients of post-COVID-19, which were included in the present study. These patients had a mean duration of 47 days from discharge to first visit to our hospital. Pre-existing respiratory comorbidity was present in 63%. History of hospitalisation was present in 52%. Fatigue (65%) was the most common symptom followed by breathlessness (60%), cough (45.71%) and chest pain (28.57%). Three patients had significant desaturation on 6-minute walk test and one patient had type 2 respiratory failure on presentation. Chest X-ray was abnormal in 34.28% (n=12). On CT thorax (n=17) the most common finding was diffuse reticulations (52.94%) followed by diffuse ground glass opacities (GGOs) (35.29%). One patient each were newly diagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis and tubercular unilateral hilar lymphadenopathy. Conclusively, post-COVID-19 patients may have remnant symptoms like fatigue, breathlessness and cough. Also, patients with pre-existing respiratory diseases are more symptomatic and even may suffer from deterioration in the clinical course. Further we need to be alert of alternate diagnosis or infections like tuberculosis (TB) in these patients, especially in TB endemic countries like India. Simultaneously, the use of immunosuppressant drugs like steroids for COVID-19 management, predisposes to TB. A proper evaluation with holistic and standardised management plan is the need of the hour for post-COVID-19 patients, until its time course, evolution and manifestations are unravelled.

Published: March 2021

Mediastinal lymphadenopathy is often associated with tuberculosis, especially in a high burden country like India. We present a case of an asymptomatic female, who had mediastinal lymphadenopathy and middle lobe collapse, both of which pointed towards a diagnosis of tuberculosis. Patient was later diagnosed as a case of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) on basis of clinical, radiological and serological findings. Hence, even in a high burden country and in background of bronchial asthma, ABPA should be kept as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with mediastinal lymphadenopathy
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis: the role of personalized and integrated medicine
Authors: Ciprandi Giorgio , Gelardi Matteo
Published: March 2021

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is a common disorder. From a clinical and immunopathological point of view, different phenotypes and endotypes have been identified. As asthma is frequent comorbidity, biological agents for treating CRSwNP associated with asthma may be an attractive strategy. Biological agents have several mechanisms, such as antagonizing IgE, interleukin (IL) 4, IL-5, and IL-13. However, a workup is mandatory, mainly concerning pheno-endotyping. In this regard, clinical cytological grading (CCG) has been proposed as a useful tool to manage patients with CRSwNP as it allows us to define clinical and immunopathological phenotypes able to identify the ideal candidate for biologics. In particular, the mixed cellular pattern, such as eosinophils and mast cells, could be sensitive to anti-IL-4 agents. There is still a need for well-established indications, criteria of responsiveness, duration, and safety. Moreover, personalized medicine could be opportunely integrated and/or alternated with intranasal corticosteroids to prevent relevant adverse events.

Published: March 2021

PURPOSE:

We present the KAP levels and the determinants for diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening and management at a private hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

METHODS:

A chart review was performed of DM patients to collect the demographics and diabetes related information in June to December 2017. A close ended questionnaire was used that queried knowledge (7), attitude (5) and practice for DR screening (7).

RESULTS:

Two hundred participants were interviewed half from endocrinology unit and half from the eye clinic. An excellent knowledge of the ophthalmic effects of diabetes was noted in 91 [45.5% (95% Confidence Interval CI 38.6–52.4) of participants. Thirty-eight [19% (95% CI 13.6–24.4)] participants had a positive attitude. None had an excellent grade of practice and poor practice was noted in 168 [74% (95% CI 78.9–89.1)] participants. Longer duration of DM (P = 0.07) and systemic complications (P = 0.06) were associated with good knowledge. Attitude was not significantly associated with any determinants. Good practice was associated with the presence of systemic complications of DM (P < 0.01) and those recruited to the eye clinic (P = 0.06). Only 35% of patients had undergone an annual DR screening. Only 4 patients had a history of laser treatment.

CONCLUSION:

The KAP of diabetic patients regarding DR screening and management is less than desired. Establishing protocols and public health promotion activities directed at early detection and management are urgently needed in private sectors of Saudi Arabia.

Published: March 2021

We report a case with traumatic avulsion of optic nerve caused by a horse kick in a child that caused loss of vision. Optic nerve avulsion is a rare injury usually associated with maxillofacial structures. Our patient had no light perception in the left eye. The left pupil was dilated and unreactive to light. The left globe was intact. A non-contrast axial computed tomography scan of the orbit demonstrated a widened and altered nerve globe junction with periorbital soft tissue edema. At six month following the injury, subsequent magnetic resonance imaging of the orbit showed that the preseptal soft tissue thickening dispersed spontaneously with total avulsion of the optic nerve and variable severity of surrounding hemorrhage. The patient did not develop phthisis bulbi during three years of follow up. Traumatic optic nerve avulsion presents with a dramatic clinical picture, and can lead to the development of severe visual loss.

Here, we discuss a case about a young, single, high-school graduated male, with schizoid personality traits, socially withdrawn, dependent, sexually inhibited with a poor level of occupational and social functioning, who has developed erotomanic delusion with Google Assistant.
Vitreous cytology as the only diagnostic evidence of central nervous system involvement in a patient with isolated leukemic infiltrative optic neuropathy
Authors: Wang Wen-Yi , Lin Chao-Wen
Published: March 2021

A 29-year-old female with treated acute lymphoblastic leukemia in remission presented with blurred vision and pain on movement of the right eye. On examination, visual acuity was 20/25 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye. Direct ophthalmoscopy revealed that the optic disc was swollen with peripapillary hemorrhage in the right eye. The rest of the clinical examination was within normal limits. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated enhancement of her right optic nerve. Lumbar puncture and bone marrow examination revealed no malignant cells. Only vitreous fluid cytology showed blast cells. Intravitreal injection of methotrexate was given, and repeated vitreous tapping was normal. The vision of her right eye remained 20/20 until 1 year later when optic disc and retinal vascular occlusion was noted. Her vision deteriorated to no light perception within 2 weeks, and optociliary shunt vessels occurred. Isolated disc swelling with positive vitreous cytology can be the first and only presentation of relapsed hematologic disorders. Infiltrative optic neuropathy should be considered in the differential diagnosis of optic disc edema. Vitreous tapping could be considered as the diagnostic procedure even if the results of lumbar puncture were negative.

THE ENVY AS THE CAUSE OF THE WEAKENING OF THE SOCIAL CAPITAL IN THE COMMUNAL COMMUNITY
Authors: Sugianto Helena Anggraeni Tjondro
Published: March 2021

This research aims to find the cause of the weakening of social capital in a communal community. The study was conducted using qualitative methods in a village where people lived communally for generations. The findings of this study are that it turns out that communal life that has lasted from generation to generation makes people live in a strong brotherhood with an egalitarian spirit. However, at this time when more and more modern times occur people are experiencing cultural shock because they are not ready to see their neighbors more prosperous than they are. This causes jealousy because they previously lived with the same level of welfare. As a result, the social capital potential due to strong brotherhood has not developed. During this time the weakening of social capital is usually associated with the formal institutions that play a role in it. However, this article found that jealousy can also weaken social capital in a society.

Ülkemiz tarımında zeytin bitkisine verilen önem gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Zeytin meyvesinin kalitesini etkileyen en önemli kültürel uygulamalardan birisi de gübrelemedir. Toprak ve yaprak analizlerine dayalı olarak doğru bir gübreleme programı ile birlikte potasyumlu gübre uygulaması, meyvenin kalitesini önemli ölçüde arttırmaktadır. Bu amaçla farklı potasyumlu gübre (KNO3,  K2SO4 ve KNO3+K2SO4) uygulamalarının, ayvalık çeşidi zeytin üzerine etkisini görebilmek amacı ile ağaç başına verim, meyve ile kalkan N-P2O5-K2O miktarları ve % yağ miktarları incelenmiştir.

Çalışma Bornova Zeytincilik Araştırma Enstitüsü deneme bahçesinde, 35 yaşında Ayvalık zeytin çeşidinin bulunduğu parselde 2016-2017 yılları arasında yapılmıştır. Tesadüf blokları deneme desenine göre planlanan çalışma, 4 tekerürlü ve her uygulamada 3 ağaç olacak şekilde kurulmuştur. Toprak ve yaprak analiz sonuçlarına göre gübreleme programı oluşturulmuş ve Nisan-Eylül ayları arasında fertigasyon sisteminden gübre uygulamaları yapılmıştır. Hasat döneminde zeytin meyvesinde yağ (% YA) ve ağaç başına yağ  (kg/ağaç) miktarı analizleri yapılmıştır.

Ayvalık çeşidi zeytin ağaçlarında farklı K’lu gübre formülasyonu uygulamalarında incelenen parametrelerde yıllar ve gübre arasında <0,05 düzeyinde önemli ilişki önemli bulunurken, yapraktaki toplam K (%) ile gübre uygulamaları arasındaki ilişki önemsiz bulunmuştur. Düzenli yapılan gübreleme programı ile topraktaki yarayışlı K’un arttığı, yaprak ve meyvedeki K içeriklerinin ise yıllara göre değişkenlik gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Ağaç başına alınan verim miktarları incelendiğinde, 2016 yılında kontrole göre uygulamaların etkili olduğu görülmüş ancak uygulamalar arasında istatistiki bir fark bulunamamıştır. 2017 yılında ise KNO3 (80,33 kg/ağaç) uygulamasının istatistiki olarak öne çıktığı görülmektedir. Ağaç başına yağ (kg/ağaç) ve yağ (%YA) miktarları değerlendirildiğinde, ilk yıl K2SO4, ikinci yıl ise KNO3 uygulamaları diğer uygulamalara göre istatistiki olarak önemli bulunmuştur. Dengeli ve düzenli gübre uygulaması ile birlikte zeytin veriminde artış sağlandığı görülmektedir.

Genetiği değiştirilmiş bitkiler, kurşunun (Pb) kökten yer üstü kısımlarına translokasyonunu geliştirmek için büyük bir potansiyele sahip olabilir. Transgenik olmayan ( Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Petit Havana SR1) ve transgenik (p-cV-ChMTII GFP) tütün bitkileri tarafından Pb alımının sağlanması araştırmak için Çin hamsteri metalotiyonin II gezen bir kap deneyi yapıldı . Transgenik ve transgenik olmayan tütün bitkileri, 0, 1000, 2500, 5000 mg Pb kg- 1 ile Pb (NO 3 ) 2 olarak işlenmiş topraklarda yetiştirildi. Kelimede bir büyüme bölümünde 6 hafta boyunca çiçeklenme aşamasına kadar.Bitkilerin büyümesi, klorofil içeriği, mineral besin elementleri ve düşük glutatyon (GSH) bezleri, bitkilerin Pb alım potansiyeli ile birlikte incelenmiştir. Hem transgenik hem de transgenik olmayan bitkiler için Pb uygulamasındaki artışa bağlı olarak yer üstü biyokütle çevrildi aşamalı bir düşüş gözlendi. Yaprak besinlerinin bulaştığı, aşırı Pb işlemlerinden olumsuz etkilenmiştir, bunlardan en büyük düşüşü. Sürgün Pb yüksek derecesi 76.0 mg kg kadar ulaşan -1 transgenik ve 70.9 mg kg -1 transgenik olmayan bitkilerde. Pb alımı, p-cV-ChMTII GFP'nin tütün bitkisine aktarılmasıyla iyileştirildi; ancak, Pb fitoremediasyonunda yeterli değildi.

A COVID-19, causador da pandemia global, pelo novo Coronavírus, SARS-CoV-2, é uma infecção viral respiratória que na maioria das vezes os infectados são assintomáticos. Porém, a infecção pode cursar com resfriados comuns até doenças mais graves como a Síndrome Respiratória Aguda (SARS), falência múltipla de órgãos e choque séptico. A gravidade da doença depende da faixa etária atingida e de fatores de risco associados. Contudo, pacientes sintomáticos podem apresentar também coagulopatias, como trombose venosa profunda, trombose arterial e embolia pulmonar devido ao excessivo processo inflamatório, disfunção endotelial, estase e ativação plaquetária. A alteração mais frequente pela infecção é a plaquetopenia e a elevação do D-dímero e ambas se relacionam com o aumento da necessidade de ventilação mecânica, cuidados intensivos e morte.Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar o perfil epidemiológico de embolia e trombose arterial no período da pandemia do COVID-19 na região do Paraná,do mês de março até agosto de 2020.A fonte de dados utilizada foi o registro do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS). Este estudo compreendeu como estratégias metodológicas a análise de informações, tais como: internações no período,variáveis demográficas como sexo e idade,etnia,tempo de internação e taxa de mortalidade.O presente estudo evidenciou que os homens foram mais acometidos por eventos tromboembólicos durante a pandemia do COVID-19. No total, do período de março a agosto de 2020 no Paraná, foram identificados 830 pacientes internados por coagulopatias, sendo que 56,9% eram homens. Além disso, em agosto houve o maior número de casos de internamento de ambos os sexos, com prevalência maior para o sexo masculino, cerca de 91 casos. Entretanto, o estudo mostrou que houve uma taxa de mortalidade maior entre as mulheres (12,04%) do que os homens (6,77%), sendo a maioria das mulheres na faixa etária de 60 a69 anos e de cor/raça preta. Na Região Metropolitana do Paraná houve o maior número de casos de internações, cerca de 27,2%, porém, a maior taxa de mortalidade foi na cidade de Ivaiporã, com 17,65% dos casos. Segundo os dados obtidos nesse estudo, o COVID-19 tem grande relação com as coagulopatias, visto que os pacientes com a infecção estão sujeitos à um excessivo processo inflamatório que leva a alterações na coagulação. Então, no período da pandemia do COVID-19, foi constatado que o tromboembolismo e a trombose arterial estão mais prevalente sem homens. Este fato que pode estar relacionado à má aderência do tratamento estipulado por médicos e devido ao maior número de homens com doenças crônicas como diabetes e hipertensão.

A hanseníase é uma doença infecto-contagiosa causada pelo Mycobacterium leprae, com evolução lenta e diversas formas clínicas associadas com o tipo de resposta do paciente ao M. leprae. As manifestações clínicas são os sinais e sintomas dermatoneurológicos como lesões na pele e nos nervos periféricos, o que pode levar a vários prejuízos de esferas social e econômica. Uma característica epidemiológica é sua alta infectividade e baixa patogenicidade, ou seja, infecta muitas pessoas mas poucas adoecem. O homem é considerado a única fonte de infecção, sendo que o contágio dá-se através de um bacilífero, não tratado, que elimina o Bacilo de Hansen para o meio exterior pelo trato respiratório, contagiando pessoas susceptíveis, através de um contato direto. Através desse trabalho, verificamos o número de notificações e descrevemos o perfil epidemiológico dos casos de Hanseníase na população dos municípios de Cuiabá e Várzea Grande, no estado do Mato Grosso. O fizemos através de um estudo transversal descritivo, com dados do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (Sinan) no Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde DATASUS referentes ao período entre 2000 a 2018 sobre as notificações de casos confirmados de Hanseníase, em população de 0 a 65+ anos de idade, nos municípios de Cuiabá e Várzea Grande, localizados no estado de Mato Grosso. Foram incluídos neste estudo as variáveis sociodemográficas como idade, sexo e dados clínicos como o tipo de entrada da doença, a forma clínica e evolução dos casos. Foram notificados 13.989 casos totais de Hanseníase, representando 21,9% de todos os casos registrados em Mato Grosso durante o período, entre residentes de Cuiabá (69,9%), do sexo masculino (56,2%), com idade entre 65+ anos (9,3%). A maioria das notificações foram de casos confirmados da forma clínica dimorfa (37%), com confirmação clínico-laboratorial (90%), com evolução para a cura da doença (66,8%). A menor taxa de ocorrência da doença foi registrada no ano de 2016 (3,8%). Visto isso, as ações voltadas para o diagnóstico precoce da Hanseníase, um dos principais desafios de saúde pública no estado de Mato Grosso, começam a mostrar efetividade para um tratamento adequado desta patologia em Cuiabá e Várzea Grande, municípios que se encontram no estado com maior índice da hanseníase no Centro-Oeste, o que os coloca em uma posição de risco para tal doença. A doença ainda é um problema de saúde pública, necessitando maior vigilância resolutiva.

A COVID -19 é uma doença viral desencadeada pelo novo coronavírus (SARS-CoV-2). A doença leva a um quadro respiratório o qual tem início com sintomas gripais leves que podem evoluir até uma síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo, consideravelmente fatal. 12% dos afetados pela doença viral desenvolvem uma lesão cardíaca aguda que está associada a piores resultados evolutivos, especialmente nos casos de pacientes com doenças cardiovasculares prévias. Apesar de o sistema cardiovascular não ser o principal alvo do SARS-CoV-2, ele pode ser prejudicado de diversas formas, dentre elas podemos citar:alteração na regulação neuro-humoral através lesão miocárdica direta; tempestade de citocinas decorrentes da inflamação sistêmica crônica, resultando em lesão e falência cardíaca; aumento da demanda cardiovascular associada à hipóxia, podendo evoluir para lesão miocárdica aguda;desestabilização das placas coronarianas devido ao efeito pró-trombótico e inflamação sistêmica, sendo capazes de causar infarto agudo do miocárdio; uso de medicamentos que são danosos ao sistema cardiovascular; além de distúrbios hidroeletrolíticos, levando à arritmias. Este trabalho objetivou avaliar a prevalência da insuficiência cardíaca durante o período da pandemia do COVID-19 na região do Paraná, do mês de março até agosto de 2020.O referente estudo trata-se de uma pesquisa epidemiológica na qual a fonte de dados utilizada foi o registro do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS). Os dados obtidos para o estudo foram: óbitos, internações no período e variáveis demográficas (sexo).Durante o período de pandemia do COVID-19, entre maio até agosto de 2020 no estado do Paraná, foram registrados 818 óbitos por insuficiência cardíaca, sendo que o total de óbitos no mesmo período e região no ano de 2019 foram de 877 casos. Agora, em relação aos meses isolados de pandemia, durante o pico dos casos (maio de 2020) observamos aumento de 1 caso de óbito em relação ao ano anterior. Além disso, observa-se que, no mesmo período analisado em 2020, o número de internações por insuficiência cardíaca foram aproximadamente 37% menores que no ano anterior. Neste estudo, o sexo masculino teve prevalência no número de mortes em ambos os períodos analisados. O estudo evidenciou que, apesar da relação entre mortalidade de COVID-19 com doenças cardíacas subjacentes, como no caso a insuficiência cardíaca, os números de óbitos totais de pacientes com essa doença crônica não aumentaram no período de pandemia em comparação com o mesmo período no ano anterior. Esses dados podem refletir uma melhor preparação dos médicos, hospitais e áreas de saúde em atender pacientes em estado grave devido a pandemia, algo que refletiu positivamente no estado de saúde das pessoas portadoras dessa doença crônica.

A doença de Chagas, infecção ocasionada pelo protozoário Trypanosoma cruzi, está amplamente ligada a fatores ambientais com alta incidência em zonas com condições socioeconômicas e sanitárias precárias, sendo considerada uma doença tropical negligenciada que se tornou um grande problema de saúde pública e social.O estudo teve como objetivo verificar a prevalência da enfermidade em relação aos meios de transmissão e locais de provável infecção para a doença de Chagas Aguda nas zonas de risco do Brasil.Foi realizado um estudo epidemiológico, transversal, descritivo com busca em base de dados secundários. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio do Departamento de Informação em Saúde (DATASUS), a partir do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINANNET) sobre a doença de Chagas aguda no período de 2010 a 2018. Foi selecionado todo o Brasil, com filtros para o ano, faixa etária, meios de transmissão, local de provável infecção e zona de risco. Observou-se um total de 489 casos confirmados no Brasil no período de 2010 a 2018, tendo maior prevalência no ano de 2016 com 82 casos, seguido por 2017 com 81 casos confirmados. Quando analisadas as formas de transmissão, tem-se com maior frequência a transmissão oral com um total de 349 casos, sendo os anos de 2016 e 2018 os de maior incidência no país (65 notificações por ano), seguido da transmissão vetorial com 49 casos, transmissão vertical apresentando 10 casos, e acidental ou outros com 2 casos cada. A forma de transmissão por transfusão sanguínea não apresenta registros na faixa etária estudada. Avaliou-se o local de provável infecção, tendo como zona domiciliar a maior taxa de contagio com 296 notificações. Como zona de risco para transmissão da enfermidade,a Amazônia legal mostrou um total de 200 casos no período e na faixa etária estudada. Azona semiárida e de fronteira foram verificadas, porém não apresentaram resultados para o período e faixa etária analisada.Diante do estudo,os principais fatores que influenciam na transmissão da doença de Chagas em crianças e pré-adolescentes de 0 a 14 anos em todo o Brasil é a forma de transmissão oral, tendo como zona de risco para transmissão da enfermidade, locais de difícil acesso como a Amazônia legal; esses fatores são de fundamental importância na estratificação de risco de transmissão da enfermidade, contribuindo para o aumento de casosem determinadas regiõesdo país.
