Authors: Fonseca Eduardo , Martins Daniel , Cardoso Renato , Santos Filho Manoel , Lima Luciano Henrique
Published: April 2020

Introdução: a região mandibular apresenta um elevado índice de acometimento nos traumatismos faciais, gerando prejuízos funcionais e estéticos. Objetivo: o objetivo do presente trabalho foi traçar o perfil dos pacientes com fraturas mandibulares atendidos no Conjunto Hospitalar do Mandaqui, dando enfoque à sua etiologia, relação faixa etária/gênero e região anatômica acometida. Métodos: foi realizado um levantamento epidemiológico dos pacientes diagnosticados com fraturas mandibulares atendidos no Conjunto Hospitalar do Mandaqui no período de janeiro de 2011 a janeiro de 2019, por meio da análise de prontuários e de exames de imagem. Resultados: dos 434 pacientes com traumatismo (fratura) maxilofacial atendidos no período do estudo, 353 (81%) apresentaram fraturas mandibulares com características para inclusão no trabalho. A faixa etária variou de 2 a 78 anos, com proporção homens/mulheres de aproximadamente 8:2. As principais etiologias foram os acidentes de trânsito (36,54%), agressões (33,99%) e quedas (15,58%). As regiões anatômicas mais acometidas foram o ângulo mandibular (26,72%), corpo (24,22%) e cabeça da mandíbula (17,12%), sendo a região de processo coronoide a menos atingi- da (0,42%). Conclusões: a prevalência e as causas de fraturas mandibulares refletem o padrão de traumatismo facial de uma população, podendo auxiliar no desenvolvi- mento de medidas preventivas, principalmente em relação a melhores políticas públi- cas de trânsito e de controle da criminalidade.
Expansão tecidual como opção para reconstrução de defeitos craniofaciais e áreas de alopecia: relato de dois casos
Authors: De Moraes Sylvio Luiz , Afonso Alexandre , Dos Santos Roberto , Mattos Ricardo , Brozoski Mariana , Ribeiro Jonathan , Duarte Bruno , Ferreira Bruno
Published: April 2020

O reparo dos defeitos de contorno craniano em alguns casos constitui tarefa extremamente difícil, dada a pouca extensibilidade do couro cabeludo, que resulta na inevitável exposição de áreas vizinhas, ou mesmo do material empregado na reconstrução, o que representa risco potencial de infecção e consequente perda do objetivo cirúrgico. O propósito do presente trabalho é descrever a técnica de expansão do couro cabe- ludo como etapa adjuvante à correção de contorno de calota craniana e de área de alopecia associada ao trauma, e/ou como sequela de tempo cirúrgico anterior. Foram empregados expansores de silicone de 480ml não personalizados (SILIMED - Comércio de Produtos Médico-Hospitalares, LTDA - Rio de Janeiro - Brasil), com válvula externa, no couro cabeludo para possibilitar a correção de contorno de calota craniana e de área de alopecia associada à sequela do trauma craniofacial. São descritos os procedimentos de expansão, as técnicas e recomendações de inserção e remoção do expansor. A expansão tecidual prévia do couro cabeludo constitui um recurso que permite o adequado recobrimento da região craniofacial reconstruída, evitando exposição do biomaterial e possibilitando a correção de áreas de alopecia.

PROCESSO DE TRABALHO DO FARMACÊUTICO NA ATENÇÃO PRIMÁRIA E SECUNDÁRIA: REVISÃO CRÍTICA
Authors: Renovato Rogério Dias
Published: April 2020

Este estudo teve por objetivo conhecer, compreender e analisar o processo de trabalho do farmacêutico no âmbito da assistência farmacêutica na atenção primária à saúde (APS), por meio de revisão crítica de pesquisas realizadas no Brasil. A amostra consistiu em 3 artigos e 9 dissertações, cuja busca empregou o descritor “assistência farmacêutica”, considerando publicações até dezembro de 2016. O processo de trabalho do farmacêutico na APS se expandiu após a instituição da Política Nacional de Assistência Farmacêutica (PNAF), em 2004. Apesar desse avanço, foi ecidenciada a ausência do farmacêutico. E a dispensação, às vezes, foi delegada a profissionais não farmacêuticos. A sobrecarga do farmacêutico pode constituir uma das barreiras para que seu processo de trabalho envolva mais atividades técnico‑assistenciais. Esforços devem ser feitos para implantar sistematicamente a formação continuada desse profissional, inserindo‑o no campo da saúde coletiva e da farmácia clínica, possibilitando, assim, que o cuidado farmacêutico atenda às necessidades de saúde da população e preencha as lacunas nas atividades assistenciais.
PRODUÇÃO DE CEPAS VACINAIS DO VÍRUS DA CAXUMBA: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA
Authors: Da Silva Andressa Dias , Matter Leticia Beatriz
Published: April 2020

Diante do aumento do relato de casos de caxumba ocorridos em 2017 e 2018 no Brasil e no mundo, considerou‑se importante realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre o processo usado para a obtenção da cepa vacinal do vírus da caxumba e a segurança e a eficácia do tipo vacinal. A pesquisa foi realizada a partir da literatura selecionada em bases de dados como LILACS, SciELo, Medline e em notas técnicas de Instituições oficiais governamentais. Constatou‑se que as cepas vacinais do vírus da caxumba foram obtidas por atenuação, envolvendo passagens em ovos embrionados e/ou cultura de células. Um amplo levantamento bibliográfico da produção das cepas, mostrou que as principais cepas relacionadas às vacinas para a caxumba são: Jeryl Lynn, Leningrado‑3, Leningrado‑3‑Zagreb, Urabe e Rubini. Destas, a vacina com a cepa Jeryl Lynn apresenta maior proteção (83‑88%) após duas doses, além de possuir o menor índice de reações adversas entre todas. As vacinas com as cepas Leningrado‑3 e Leningrado‑3‑Zagreb apresentam boa eficácia protetora que varia de 87‑100%, porém, casos de meningite asséptica após a aplicação da vacina foram constatados. Já a vacina com a cepa Urabe é bastante efetiva, tendo eficácia clínica de 70‑75% com apenas uma dose, porém, apresenta maior potencial reatogênico. A vacina com a cepa Rubini, por sua vez, é a menos efetiva, apresentando 12,4% de eficácia. A cepa Jeryl Lynn é considerada uma das alternativas mais seguras e eficazes como cepa vacinal, apresentando menor reatogenicidade. A cepa vacinal RIT 4385, derivada da cepa Jeryl Lynn, é a cepa usada nas vacinas para a caxumba no Brasil.

In the study, descriptive content analysis method was used. The data source of this study was dissertations on organizational trust written between 2000 to 2018 and found in the Council of Higher Education Thesis Center. In the analysis of the data, categorical analysis technique, one of the content analysis types, was used. Results showed that limited dissertations were done between 2006 and 2008, most of them were master’s theses largely conducted in public universities and had, as sample, İstanbul, East Marmara, Aegean and West Anatolian regions. In addition, they were mainly held in primary schools and they mostly had relational screening model as research design, simple random methods as sampling, questionnaires as data collection tool and independent samples t-test and ANOVA as analysis methods. Based on the results of this study, it can be offered that the sampling regions of studies that will be held on organizational trust should be varied, doctoral dissertations should put more emphasis on the subject, school levels in which data will be collected and participant types should be diversified, research methods, models, study groups, data collection tools, data analysis should also be varied.
(NON-HUMAN)ANIMAL COMPANIONSHIP: A CRUCIAL SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: HOY-GERLACH JANET , RAUKTIS MARY , NEWHILL CHRISTINA
Published: April 2020

Background Human-animal interaction (HAI) offers benefits across physical, emotional, psychological, and social spheres of human functioning. The aim of this paper is to delineate how animal companionship, via provision of HAI benefits, offers vital support to people experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic and associated stressors. Method Each of the empirically supported types of HAI benefits – physical, emotional, psychological, and social – will be situated within a biopsychosocial framework of human functioning and considered in terms of how they may help to ameliorate stressors specifically related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings Benefits derived from animal companionship may help alleviate physical, emotional, psychological, and social stressors specifically related to experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic. Discussion Benefits of animal companionship may be particularly salient for well-being and coping when people are experiencing a dramatic increase in stressors via a pandemic crisis. Community responses need to include plans (pet food pantries, temporary foster care, veterinary access/zoonotic safety) for keeping people and their companion animals together during such difficult times. Originality/value This article is unique in that it delineates the animal companionship benefits in terms of how such may help alleviate stressors associated with a pandemic.
The European Union and the conflict in Ukraine (2014–2018)
Authors: Koszel Bogdan
Published: April 2020

The author has analyzed the European Union’s policy towards Ukraine and put forward a thesis that, in view of Russia’s opposition and the lack of progress in internal reforms, Ukraine has no immediate prospects of EU membership. Although Ukraine has been granted political and financial support in the aftermath of the Russian aggression (annexation of Crimea and war in Donbas), the extent of bilateral cooperation is limited to the signing of an Association Agreement and the abolition of the visa requirement for Ukrainian citizens. Economic sanctions against Russia symbolize the unity of EU member states, but remain the only instrument that can stop the neo-imperial intentions of the Russian Federation. This study employs the methods of systemic, institutional and legal analysis and the decision method.
Breeding population dynamics of Common Tern Sterna hirundo and associated gull species with overview of conservation management in continental Slovenia
Authors: Denac Damijan , Božič Luka
Published: April 2020

An overview of the long-term (1980–2019) population development of colonial Laridae species in continental part of Slovenia, their nest sites at anthropogenic water bodies, and various conservation measures with special focus on Common Tern Sterna hirundo along the Slovenian/border part of the Drava River is given. Breeding of these species occurs only on the westernmost fringes of the Pannonian plain, on lowland floodplains of the main rivers of the Danube Basin. Altogether, breeding of Common Tern and Black-headed Gull Larus ridibundus was recorded at 11 and 10 sites, respectively. Lake Ptuj is the single site with mixed-species colony residing there in all years of the study period, while at Ormož (two sites) it was established during the early 1990s in the Slovenian territory but moved completely to the Croatian side by the second half of the 2010s. At all other sites, a suitable breeding habitat became available or was provided by management in just a few years, or created only recently. The percentage of Common Tern national population breeding in continental Slovenia was usually well above 50% throughout the 1980s and 1990s (52–136 pairs), while in the last 16 years (77–258 pairs) it ranged between 40.8% and 69.0%. Breeding of Black-headed Gull remains largely limited to continental Slovenia. Overall, continental populations of both species in the last few years have been substantially higher compared to the most of the study period. Long-term trends were estimated as a moderate increase for Common Tern and a strong increase for Black-headed Gull. Since 2006, the Mediterranean Gull L. melanocephalus has been a regular breeder at Lake Ptuj (up to 28 pairs), the only such site in Slovenia. Three general types of conservation measures implemented at different nesting locations are described in detail: (1) measures to create/increase the total surface of breeding habitat – the construction of new breeding structures, such as artificial islands and nesting rafts, (2) measures to maintain and enhance breeding habitat through recurring management activities, and (3) measures aimed to increase chick/nest survival and improve breeding success.
Area use and important areas for Common Tern Sterna hirundo inland populations breeding in Slovenia and Croatia

Published: April 2020

During the breeding periods of 2018 and 2019 we investigated the extent of areas Common Terns Sterna hirundo use while searching for food. We used GPS-UHF tags to follow the movements of 23 terns from Slovenia (7 individuals) and Croatia (16 individuals). We investigated the movements of birds from three breeding sites, i.e. Lakes Ptuj, Siromaja 2 and Rakitje. Conclusions are based on 43,105 locations which were collected with a frequency of one reading per 20 minutes during the day and one reading per 4 hours during the night.

In Slovenia, terns used a 60 km long and narrow area over Stara struga Drave (former river-bed of the Drava River) between Ormož and Maribor as well as eleven fishponds / lakes in its surroundings, most of them in the Pesnica valley. The most distant location was 30 km of straight line from breeding islands, but it was visited only once by a single tern. The areas with the most locations, hence important areas, were Lake Ptuj, Drava at Ptuj, Stara struga Drave between Ptuj and Rošnja and about 20 km distant Lakes Radehova and Gradiško. These were probably the most important feeding areas for Common Terns breeding on Lake Ptuj. In Croatia, terns were found along the Sava almost exclusively, with only a few visits more than 2 km from the river. The most distant locations were over 60 km away from the breeding grounds, but terns visited them only rarely. Most locations of terns nesting on Siromaja were within a 5 km radius, while terns from Rakitje were making regular flights to waters up to 23 km from their colony. The area with the most locations visited by terns from both colonies was the Sava at Hrušćica. Besides, birds from the Rakitje colony were frequently recorded on the Sava near Savica and waterbodies within 5 km of the colony. These were probably the most important feeding areas for Common Terns breeding around Zagreb.
First data on breeding success of Croatian inland colonies of Common TernSterna hirundo

Published: April 2020

In 2018 and 2019, the breeding success of two Common Tern colonies on artificial lakes near the River Sava in Zagreb, Croatia, was studied. The colonies were visited weekly from May to July and we collected data on phenology, number of breeding pairs, clutch size as well as egg and chick survival. We also conducted a comparison between early and late breeders. Hatching and fledging success was within previously observed ranges, apart from a low hatching success on Siromaja in 2019. The smaller colony on Siromaja had a higher productivity in both years than the colony on Rakitje, although in 2018 an avian pox virus killed much of the late chicks on Rakitje. Early breeders seem to have had higher hatching success and average clutch size. Furthermore, a greater proportion of them managed to hatch all their eggs compared to late breeders, but the differences were not statistically significant. Our study provided baseline data for future monitoring of phenology and breeding success with regard to the management of breeding colonies.
Perception verbs and the conceptualization of the senses: The case of Avatime
Authors: van Putten Saskia
Published: April 2020

Languages differ in their number of basic verbs that describe perceptual experience. Some languages have only two such verbs: one for visual perception and another for non-visual perception. How do speakers of these languages conceptualize sensory perception? To shed light on this question, this paper investigates the perception verbsmɔ̀‘see’ andnu‘hear/feel/taste/smell’ in Avatime (Kwa, Niger-Congo). These verbs are studied together with the constructions in which they occur, using both translated data and spontaneous discourse. Both perception meanings and meanings outside the domain of perception are taken into account. The detailed picture that emerges shows some previously undocumented patterns of perception encoding and enriches our understanding of the conceptualization of the senses more generally.
Neural Coding of Thermal Preferences in the NematodeCaenorhabditis elegans
Authors: Matsuyama Hironori J. , Mori Ikue
Published: April 2020

Animals are capable to modify sensory preferences according to past experiences. Surrounded by ever-changing environments, they continue assigning a hedonic value to a sensory stimulus. It remains to be elucidated however how such alteration of sensory preference is encoded in the nervous system. Here we show that past experiences alter temporal interaction between the calcium responses of sensory neurons and their postsynaptic interneurons in the nematodeCaenorhabditis elegans.C. elegansexhibits thermotaxis, in which its temperature preference is modified by the past feeding experience: well-fed animals are attracted toward their past cultivation temperature on a thermal gradient, whereas starved animals lose that attraction. By monitoring calcium responses simultaneously from both AFD thermosensory neurons and their postsynaptic AIY interneurons in well-fed and starved animals under time-varying thermal stimuli, we found that past feeding experiences alter phase shift between AFD and AIY calcium responses. Furthermore, the difference in neuronal activities between well-fed and starved animals observed here are able to explain the difference in the behavioral output on a thermal gradient between well-fed and starved animals. Although previous studies have shown thatC. elegansexecutes thermotaxis by regulating amplitude or frequency of the AIY response, our results proposed a new mechanism by which thermal preference is encoded by phase shift between AFD and AIY activities. Given these observations, thermal preference is likely to be computed on synapses between AFD and AIY neurons. Such a neural strategy may enable animals to enrich information processing within defined connectivity via dynamic alterations of synaptic communication.
Good Me Bad Me: Prioritization of the Good-Self During Perceptual Decision-Making
Authors: Hu Chuan-Peng , Lan Yuxuan , Macrae C. Neil , Sui Jie
Published: April 2020

People display systematic priorities to self-related stimuli. As the self is not a unified entity, however, it remains unclear which aspects of the self are crucial to producing this stimulus prioritization. To explore this issue, we manipulated the valence of the self-concept (good me vs. bad me) — a core identity-based facet of the self — using a standard shape-label association task in which participants initially learned the associations (e.g., circle/good-self, triangle/good-other, diamond/bad-self, square/bad-other), after which they completed shape-label matching and shape-categorization tasks, such that attention was directed to different aspects of the stimuli (i.e., self-relevance and valence). The results revealed that responses were more efficient to the good-self shape (vs. other shapes), regardless of the task that was undertaken. A hierarchical drift diffusion model (HDDM) analysis indicated that this good-self prioritization effect was underpinned by differences in the rate of information uptake. These findings demonstrate that activation of the good-self representation exclusively facilitates perceptual decision-making, thereby furthering understanding of the self-prioritization effect.
Pulmonary and overall healthcare utilization after childhood and young adult thyroid cancer
Authors: Di Giuseppe Giancarlo , Zuk Aleksandra M , Wasserman Jonathan D , Pole Jason D
Published: April 2020

Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) in children, adolescents, and young adults is associated with excellent prognosis. However, little is known about the long-term utilization of healthcare resources among survivors. The objective of this study was to compare the utilization of healthcare resources among DTC survivors to the general population, with a focus on pulmonary-related resource utilization. Population-based linked data were used to retrospectively ascertain DTC patients from the Ontario Cancer Registry, age <30 years at diagnosis between 1992 and 2011. DTC cases were individually matched 1:10 to the general population on age, sex, diagnosis year, and rural status. Billing records for all-cause hospitalizations, emergency department visits, pulmonary subspecialist visits, and chest imaging were compared using incidence rate ratios (IRR). A total of 2456 individuals with DTC were identified, with women representing the majority (82.8%) of cases. Compared to controls, hospitalization and emergency department visit IRRs were 2.56 (95% CI, 2.49–2.63) and 2.22 (95% CI, 2.18–2.26), respectively. An excess of pulmonary diagnostic imaging was observed for chest radiography (IRR, 2.7; 95% CI, 2.6–2.8) and pulmonary CT’s (IRR, 17.5; 95% CI, 15.8–19.3). Patients who underwent radioactive iodine therapy had a higher incidence of pulmonary-related healthcare utilization than those who did not. The highest healthcare utilization for all modalities was observed in the 30 to 90 days after DTC diagnosis with a steady decline further from diagnosis; however, elevated utilization was observed throughout the observation period. Health services utilization is high for primary DTC survivors, irrespective of the time since diagnosis. Radioactive iodine therapy is associated with higher rates of utilization. These findings have ramifications for treatment, surveillance and for policy formulation.
Susceptibility of four passion fruit species to the reniform nematode
Authors: Inomoto Mário Massayuki , Fonseca Amanda Borjatto da
Published: April 2020

Abstract Reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis) is a major pest of sour-passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) in Brazil, and few management methods are currently available, mainly due to the lack of host-plant resistance. Other species of passion fruit species are also commercially available in Brazil, which could be a source of resistance. Cultivars of three species (P. setacea ‘BRS-Pérola-do-Cerrado’, P. cincinnata ‘BRS-Sertão-Forte’, and P. alata ‘BRS-Mel-do-Cerrado’), and one susceptible cultivar (P. edulis BRS-Gigante-Amarelo) were evaluated for reniform nematode susceptibility in two greenhouse trials. Results showed that the cultivars were susceptible. Therefore, reniform nematode management in passion fruit must be rely on a combination of nematode-free seedlings and nematode-free fields.

Published: April 2020

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to evaluate two protocols (PA and PB) that are used to obtain canine platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for cellularity. Twenty healthy dogs were used. Blood samples were collected and placed in two tubes of 3.2% sodium citrate. PA used double centrifugation at 210 x g, and 370 x g and PB used double centrifugation with 140 x g and 330 x g. The PRP samples from the protocols were examined in terms of their platelet, erythrocyte, and leukocyte count in the Neubauer chamber, differential leukocyte count and platelet morphological observation in blood smears. Data (mean and standard deviation) were analyzed with the 95% probability t-test (P <0.05) using Pearson’s correlation to test the relationship between platelets and erythrocytes, platelets, and leukocytes, and the leukocyte count versus the erythrocytes. Very weak negative correlation between platelets and leukocytes (p= -0.03), weak negative correlation between platelets and erythrocytes (p= -0.3) and a strong positive correlation between leukocytes and erythrocytes (ρ = 0.75) were noted. Although, BP did not reach the desired mean of one million platelets (979300 ± 79631 cells / μL), both protocols, A and B (4.42 ± 1.61 and 3.85 ± 1.55 times more platelets than total blood, respectively) (p <0.05) were efficient in concentrating platelets. Platelet activation was present in 26.55 ± 6.72% of the PA platelets and 26.25 ± 7.03% in PB (p> 0.05). PA and PB presented low erythrocyte concentration (p> 0.05), and PA had more leukocytes (p <0.05) than PB, with higher concentrations of basophils that were segmented, and lymphocytes.

Published: April 2020

ABSTRACT: Due to the high risk associated with fishing, access to credit becomes very difficult for fishermen. The study was conducted to investigate the determinants of credit constraint on artisanal fishermen with survey data collected from artisanal fishermen in the Western and Central Regions of Ghana. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select respondents for the study. Data collected were analyzed with the aid of descriptive and IV-Probit model. Most of the fishermen were in their youthful stage. From the study, while boat ownership and off-fishing activity reduce the probability being credit constrained, complex procedure, and disbursement time lag increase fishermen probability of being credit constrained. The findings of the study also indicated that there is a significant difference between constrained and unconstrained fishermen fishing activity and financial status. Therefore, fishermen in need of additional credit should be catered for to increase their production, hence, livelihood.

Published: April 2020

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the discriminatory capacity of tester lines for tropical corn lines converted to supersweet shrunken (sh2) gene, for the development of hybrids adapted to tropical conditions. Lines were used as female parents in crosses with three testers: open-pollinated mixed variety; supersweet line L4; supersweet commercial hybrid Tropical Plus. Four trials were carried out to evaluate topcrosses in Maringá - PR e Sabáudia - PR, Brazil in the main growing season of 2015/16. The following traits were evaluated: total ear weight (TEW, in kg), commercial ear weight (CEW, in kg) and total soluble solids (TSS, in °Brix). The GCA estimates for TEW and CEW were highest for L4. The lines Balu-114 and UEM-25 were selected based on the effects of g ̂ ifor the traits studied and should be used in the establishment of base populations for the breeding of superior lines. The s ̂ ijvalue for TEW was highest for cross BALU-182 x Tropical, while for CEW was the highest value for cross BALU-94 x Mista.

Published: April 2020

ABSTRACT: The plant, Amburana cearensis A. C. Smith (Fabaceae), commonly called cumaru, is widespread in the Caatinga cearense, a less known ecosystem in Brazil. A. cearensis is rich in several compounds like protocatechuic acid, tannins, coumarin, flavonoids and phenolic heterosides, such as amburosides A and B, that have been isolated. The aim of this study was to determine the antimicrobial potential and draw the chemical profile of the distinct characteristics of A. cearensis stem bark decoction, for its possible potential as a food conservation agent. The chemical compounds were characterized by one- and two-dimensional 1H and 13C NMR analyses and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LCMS). The compounds of coumarin, amburosides A and B, and glycosylated (Z)-o-coumaric acid. Using the plaque microdilution technique, the antimicrobial action was tested on Escherichia coli, Salmonella Enteritidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes. The decoction demonstrated antimicrobial activity on Gram-positive bacteria. This was encouraging because natural antimicrobials are beneficial for food production, as they can inhibit the pathogenic microorganisms and boost the quality of hygiene and cleanliness.

Abstract This study aimed to investigate whether attitudes towards body weight dissatisfaction is associated with perceived health and impairments in sleep among a national population-based sample of Brazilian adolescents. This is a cross-sectional data from the 2015 National School-Based Health Survey (PeNSE). A total of 100.182 students (70.8% were between 14 to 15) in ninth-grade, enrolled in public and private schools were eligible for data analysis. Variables were measured using a questionnaire and binary logistic regression was used. There was association between attitudes towards body weight dissatisfaction and perceived health (not controlling weight = OR: 2.19, 95%CI: 2.00-2.40; trying to lose = OR: 1.90, 95%CI: 1.75-2.05; gain = OR: 2.22, 95%CI: 2.01-2.46; maintain = OR: 1.81, 95%CI: 1.54-2.14). Adolescents were also more likely to present impairments in sleep (not controlling weight = OR: 1.21, 95%CI: 1.11-1.32; trying to lose = OR: 1.16, 95%CI: 1.08-1.25; gain = OR: 1.43, 95%CI: 1.28-1.61; maintain = OR: 1.43, 95%CI: 1.22-2.68). Dissatisfaction is an additional concern in the daily life of adolescents, which is associated to depreciation of the quality of sleep and decrement of psychological well-being.

Resumo Este artigo analisou a Síndrome de Burnout (SB) entre os gerentes da Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF) no Município do Rio de Janeiro e suas associações entre os fatores que influenciam a presença/ausência da SB nesses profissionais. Com natureza descritiva, ele utilizou um questionário, composto de duas partes: 1) perfil do gerente e fatores que possam influenciar a presença de Burnout; 2) Inventário Maslach Burnout Inventory. A taxa percentual de retorno foi de 63,5% (143) dos 225 enviados. Os gerentes da ESF são em geral, enfermeiros (68,6%), jovens (74,5% até 39 anos), do sexo feminino (76,9%) e que atuam na gerência há menos de 5 anos (85,2%). A presença da SB foi identificada em 11,2% dos gerentes. Os fatores de natureza organizacional foram os que obtiveram maior número de variáveis com associação. Esses dados apontam para necessidade de realização de mudanças nas práticas organizativas de serviços e de mudanças nos processos de trabalho. A realização de outros estudos, que aprofundem estas questões, pode contribuir neste sentido.
De Alma-Ata a Astana: o percurso dos Cuidados de Saúde Primários em Portugal,1978-2018 e a génese da Medicina Familiar

Resumo Ao longo século XX, as profundas alterações que ocorreram na Medicina apenas podem ser completamente esclarecidas se forem observadas numa perspectiva histórica, pois elas sempre ocorreram em resposta a influências externas, umas científicas e tecnológicas, outras de ordem social. A moderna Medicina Familiar é uma das muitas disciplinas novas que se desenvolveram durante o curso da história da Medicina e aqui debatemos de forma crítica, os últimos 40 anos dos cuidados primários em saúde em Portugal, começando em 1971, mesmo antes da Declaração de Alma-Ata (1978). Ao longo do percurso, em 2005, surge a Reforma dos Cuidados Primários em Saúde em Portugal e as novas unidades de saúde familiar, que até setembro de 2019 atendiam cerca de 94% dos cidadãos portugueses, ou seja, mais de nove milhões e meio de pessoas. No final dessa trajetória, de forma solidária e voluntária, esta Reforma serviu de inspiração para outra, no Brasil, na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, em 2009. Por fim, apresentamos os desafios apontados na Declaração de Astana de 2018, dentre elas, a questão da força de trabalho nos cuidados de saúde primários, como fator essencial para o desempenho e a sustentabilidade dos sistemas de saúde.

Resumo O objetivo desse artigo é apresentar um debate sobre a nova política de financiamento para Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) no Brasil. Para desenvolvimento do método de pagamento foi realizado consulta da literatura nacional e internacional, além do envolvimento de gestores municipais, estaduais e federais da APS. O modelo final proposto é baseado em Capitação ponderada; Pagamento por desempenho; Incentivo para Ações Estratégicas. A capitação é ponderada por vulnerabilidade socioeconômica, aspectos demográficos e ajuste municipal, o pagamento por desempenho composto por um conjunto total de 21 indicadores e incentivos a ações estratégicas foi possível a partir da manutenção de alguns programas específicos. Os resultados das simulações apontaram para um baixo cadastro (90 milhões de brasileiros) para a cobertura estimada atual (148.674.300 milhões de brasileiros). Além disso, demonstraram um incremento imediato de recursos financeiros para 4.200 municípios brasileiros. Observa-se que a proposta do financiamento traz a APS brasileira para o século XXI, aponta para o fortalecimento dos atributos da APS e torna concreto os princípios de universalidade e equidade do Sistema Único de Saúde.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Due to the relationship between early identification of physical and anthropometric characteristics above the population mean in children and adolescents, and success in sports, detecting potential sports talents should be broadly and systematically used as a strategy for the early identification of physical characteristics favorable to the sport in question. However, most studies do not use representative samples, or else they present talent detection without using valid scientific methods. This retrospective, comparative study therefore presents the identification of potential sports talents using the Z Strategy, calculated with anthropometric, neuromotor and physical fitness data. Objective: To identify physical abilities and anthropometric values above what are considered the normal ranges in a population of students in the 8th year of basic education, in Chile. Methods: The sample consisted of 9,429 students from public and private schools (50.9% boys). Data were obtained from a cross-sectional study conducted in 2013. Physical fitness and anthropometric data were recompiled through the Educational Quality Measurement System (Sistema de Medición de la Calidad de Educación – SIMCE) of physical education. The “Z Strategy” was used to detect sports talents by identifying values above the population mean. Results: In at least one variable, a total of 619 male and 623 female students with a standard deviation ≥2 (Z2) were detected. Conclusion: “Z Strategy” was able to detect sports talents of both sexes and of different ages. Level of evidence III; Retrospective comparative study.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Pre-competitive anxiety is one of the psychological factors that can greatly influence athletes' performance, especially when it comes to individual sport like boxing. Objective: To analyze the level of pre-competitive anxiety in male athletes in the adult and young adult categories, and their correlation with the final results of the last Brazilian National Championship. Methods: A total of 60 young adult athletes participated in the study: 38 non-medalists (17.17±0.54 years and 66.38±13.21 kg) and 22 medalists (17.48±0.54 years and 66.21±12.96 kg). The “adults” group consisted of 35 athletes: 11 non-medalists (22.60±4.65 years and 68.33±14.08 kg) and 24 medalists (22.60±4.82 years and 67.33 ±13.13 kg). Results: The levels of cognitive anxiety in the young adult athletes group presented significant differences: medalists presented lower scores than non-medalists (12.77±2.62 and 15.92±5.20, respectively). In the adults group, medalists presented higher scores than non-medalists (15.23±4.42 and 12.00±4.11). Significant differences were observed in somatic anxiety levels between the young adult medalists and the other groups (p = 0.038). In addition, levels of self-confidence were high in all groups (young adult non-medalists = 29.42±4.82; adult non-medalists = 26.14±4.94, young adult medalists = 31.59±4.24 and adult medalists = 28.91±4.88). Conclusion: We conclude that self-confidence may interfere with anxiety levels, considering that medal-winning boxers are less prone to cognitive anxiety than non-medalists, and that both groups have high levels of self-confidence. Level of evidence I; High quality randomized trial with statistically significant difference or no statistically significant difference but narrow confidence intervals.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Circadian rhythms can impact athletes' sports performance, where the plateau occurs between 15 and 21 hours. Swimming is a peculiar case, as athletes perform training and final sessions in competitions at different times, as in the Rio2016 Olympic Games for example, where the semifinal and final competitions took place from ten o'clock at night. Objectives: (1) to present the protocol of an intervention performed with elite athletes of the Brazilian swimming team during the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio; (2) to find out whether the time at which the competitions were held affected the swimming performances of these athletes during the competition. Materials and Methods: Fourteen athletes of the Brazilian swimming team (males: n= 10; 71% and females: n= 4; 29%) participated in the study. They were followed up during two preparation periods (baseline and intervention) for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio during June and July 2016. During the competition, we recorded the Reaction Time (RT) and Competition Time (CT) of each athlete in different modalities. The intervention strategies used were light therapy and sleep hygiene. The values of RT at the starting block and CT were registered and conferred with the official results. Results: The athletes showed a decrease in the total time awake (Δ = −13%; Effect size [ES] = 1.0) and sleep latency (Δ = −33%; ES = 0.7), and an increase in total sleep time (Δ = 13%; ES = 1.1; p = 0.04) between the baseline and the period of the intervention, pre-competition. We identified an improvement in the RT (Δ = −2.2% to −1.0%; ES = 0.2 to 0.5) during the competition only for the athletes who participated in the competition finals. Conclusion: We conclude that the intervention carried out was effective in mitigating any negative influence of competition time on the RT and CT of elite athletes of the Brazilian swimming team. Level of evidence II; Prospective comparative study.

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se a formação do arco longitudinal do pé interfere na distribuição da pressão plantar e na flexibilidade dos músculos posteriores da coxa. O método de estudo foi transversal e as impressões plantares foram obtidas usando o plantígrafo e analisadas segundo o método Viladot. A distribuição plantar e a flexibilidade foram avaliadas pela baropodometria e pelo banco de Wells, respectivamente. Foi observado que crianças com pés cavos apresentam maior flexibilidade quando comparadas às que têm o pé normal (p=0,02); e também que pés cavos apresentam maior pressão, ou seja, maior sobrecarga em calcâneo quando comparados àqueles com o arco plantar normal (p=0,02 membro inferior direito e p=0,03 membro inferior esquerdo). A avaliação do arco longitudinal medial mostra que crianças com pés cavos apresentam maior flexibilidade dos músculos posteriores de membro inferior. Os pés cavos também estão associados com maior descarga de peso em região de calcâneo.

Abstract Introduction: In the last decade, the inclusion of a functioning indicator in health care has been discussed on the international agenda. The strategies related to the implementation of these indicators are issues that involve health education, governance, and medical records. Objective: study aims to discuss the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) potential as a useful tool to produce information on health care services. Method: As theoretical assumptions, the universal model of the ICF based on the biopsychosocial model was used. Results: When used as a health indicator, functioning data can measure the real effect of some health conditions in different life domains. Based on the reflections carried out and theoretical foundations accessed, the study shows that the implementation of functioning indicators in periodical population health surveys and protocols of clinical documentation regardless the level of health service would be relevant for Patient Care Planning. Note that the group of functioning indicators should be proposed in a universal language and, therefore, ICF represents the most comprehensive model. Conclusion: Information regarding health status can be useful to enable health care management. Furthermore, ICF are essential to improve the documentation service of the health system and also can be used in planning and monitoring health care. It can also be used to collect disability data in surveys ensuring comparison among different surveys.
