MUCORMICOSE EM PACIENTES ACOMETIDOS POR COVID-19: REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA DA LITERATURA
Authors: Feitoza Luanna Paula Garcez de Carvalho , Lima Anna Ellen Marques De , Rissari Júlia Resende , Saleh Samia Walid Ali , Soares Fabiane Veloso
Published: October 2021

Introdução: A Mucormicose (zigomicose) é uma patologia infectocontagiosa oportunista rara causada por fungos da ordem Mucorales, com incidência em diabéticos em cetoacidose, pacientes imunodepressivos sob quimioterapia por doenças neoplásicas, pós-transplantados e também sob aqueles com corticoterapia prolongada, como pacientes da COVID-19. O subtipo clínico rino-orbital-cerebral é o mais frequente (44% a 49%) dos casos relatados. No contexto da pandemia causada pelo SARS-CoV2, têm-se evidenciado casos de mucormicose associados a essa patologia, pois devido a inflamação robusta e a imunossupressão simultânea (sobretudo em pacientes com morbidades como o Diabetes Mellitus) evidentes no manejo da COVID-19, acredita-se que a resposta imune desregulada fornece um hospedeiro propício ao desenvolvimento de infecções fúngicas. Sua sintomatologia depende de onde o fungo está crescendo no corpo e seu diagnóstico é baseado nos achados clínicos e de imagem, juntamente com a associação de fatores de risco potenciais. A terapêutica consiste em retirada cirúrgica de tecidos necrosados e antifúngicos. Objetivo: Averiguar na literatura científica a Mucormicose e sua relação oportunística em pacientes acometidos por COVID-19. Material e métodos: Revisão Integrativa da Literatura com dados coletados nas bases de dados PUBMED, SCIENCE DIRECT e SPRINGER LINK a partir de 2020. A análise dos dados incluiu a pré-análise, tratamento dos dados e interpretação dos resultados. Resultados: Foram incluídos oito estudos científicos, sendo notado que a mucormicose decorrente de pacientes com COVID-19 foi mais comumente observada em pacientes com história de diabetes mellitus e com COVID-19 grave ou crítico em pacientes na Índia. No Irã, um estudo multicêntrico também mostra que 86% dos pacientes com COVID-19 e mucormicose apresentavam diabetes mellitus e 46,6% receberam terapia com corticosteróide. Neste ano o Ministério da Saúde brasileiro registrou 49 casos de mucormicose, sendo 19 pacientes com COVID-19 e a maioria apresentava diabetes mellitus. Esses dados não representam o total de registros da doença no Brasil e sim casos que chegam ao conhecimento do órgão por meio da solicitação de medicamentos ou pelos CIEVS locais. Conclusão: A imunossupressão causada pela infecção da COVID-19 concomitante a sua terapêutica por meio da corticoterapia e comorbidades anteriores tornou pacientes mais suscetíveis a infecções fúngicas secundárias, como a mucormicose.

Published: October 2021

Introdução: A doença do coronavírus (COVID-19) tem como característica marcante o comprometimento respiratório, levando vários pacientes a quadros graves. Ademais, os impactos no sistema circulatório conduziram a uma tentativa de compreensão dos achados vasculares nos pacientes, caracterizado pela mudança nos níveis do dímero D. Estudos sugeriram que os níveis elevados de D-dímero, um produto de degradação da fibrina e importante marcador dos níveis de coagulação no corpo, estão associados a um aumento na mortalidade por COVID-19. Objetivos: Esse estudo objetivou a realização de uma revisão dos principais trabalhos dessa área para profunda análise sobre a alteração na concentração de dímero D em pacientes infectados pelo SARS-CoV-2. Material e Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática de ensaios clínicos, ensaios clínicos randomizados, estudos observacionais e estudos clínicos realizados em humanos no último ano, tendo como base de dados o PubMed. Para a seleção dos trabalhos, os operadores booleanos utilizados foram: (COVID-19) AND (D-dimer). Desse modo, foram encontrados 141 artigos no total, dos quais 11 se encaixavam no estudo. Resultados: Nos achados, comprovou-se a correlação clínica da elevação desse biomarcador em pacientes graves de COVID-19, ao mesmo tempo em que o tratamento com anticoagulantes como fator de proteção nessa doença também foi analisado, sendo associado à diminuição da mortalidade em pacientes graves. Conclusão: Observou-se uma correlação entre elevados níveis do Dímero D e agravantes de quadros clínicos da COVID-19 relacionados aos distúrbios causados que geraram diversas disfunções em órgãos de pacientes de COVID-19 críticos. Evidenciou-se importância do foco de estudos em torno da tentativa de correlacionar biomarcadores com a evolução do quadro, além de elucidar as dúvidas ainda persistentes nesse tema.

In der modernen Gesellschaft geht der Trend zum Leben in Ballungsräumen. Die dicht bevölkerten Siedlungsgebiete bieten Arbeiten und Leben in nahen Distanzen, müssen aber an Frisch- und Abwassersysteme angebunden sein. Wasserverluste stellen dabei eine ernstzunehmende Herausforderung dar. In den Leitungen aus Beton kann es einerseits zu Verlusten von Trinkwasser kommen – vornehmlich in Ländern des Nahen Ostens zu beobachten – und andererseits Abwasser austreten. Insbesondere Abwasserleckagen sind problematisch, da sie zur Belastung der Umwelt und vor allem des Grundwassers führen. Für die Gestaltung wasserführender Systeme mit minimalen Verlusten bietet Textilbeton vollkommen neue Möglichkeiten, die im Rahmen einer Masterarbeit am ITA erfolgreich untersucht wurden.

Assessment of nurses' hand hygiene practices in primary health care clinics of eThekwini Municipality
Authors:   , Mufamadi Ntheno Grace
Published: October 2021

Background Hands of heath care workers are known to be the main vehicle in the transmission of infectious agents in the health care setting. Hand hygiene is an essential, cheap, simple, effective and the corner stone in infection and control strategies, and it plays a major role in reduction of health care associated infections. The focus on hand hygiene has been hospital based because of the health care associated infections within those settings. The high utilization of the primary health care (PHC) clinics, the complexity and comprehensiveness of the services rendered in PHC clinics, the more invasive procedures that are being performed in PHC clinics and the studies on hand hygiene that were focused mainly in hospitals setting motivated the study on the assessment of hand hygiene practices in PHC clinics. Aim of the study The aim of the study was to assess hand hygiene practices of nurses in the PHC facilities of eThekwini municipality. Methodology This study was a descriptive, observational and survey study design in a quantitative paradigm, conducted in three PHC clinics with high caseload. The non-probability, purposive sampling method was used to select PHC clinics. The study population were the nurses from the three selected PHC clinics. An adapted Infection Control Self-Assessment Tools for PHC Facilities was used to collect data. An adapted self-reported World Health Organisation Hand Hygiene Knowledge Questionnaire for Health Care Workers Assessment Tool was used to assess knowledge and training in hand hygiene. Data was analysed using SPSS version 22.0. Inferential statistics were used to determine the relationship between the variables. Results The results showed that in all the three PHC clinics, hand hygiene was performed more frequently after contact with patients than before contact with patients in both invasive and non-invasive procedures. The commonly used method of hand hygiene was hand rubbing with alcohol hand rub than hand washing. In observing whether the hand rubbing steps were followed, this was done significantly less than half the time (p=<.0005). The average knowledge score across all questions was 73.64% and there was no significant correlation between knowledge and percentage of time using HH.
The epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries in trail runners in the eThekwini Municipality of KwaZulu-Natal
Authors:   , Millar Maxine-Lee
Published: October 2021

AIM: The aim of this study was to determine the point and period prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries, the injury profile, associated risk factors and the impact of musculoskeletal injuries on trail runners who participated in selected trail races in the eThekwini municipality of KwaZulu-Natal. SUBJECTS: Participants from various trail running races volunteered to participate in the study after the completion of a trail race. METHODOLOGY: Participants were approached individually following the completion of a minimum of a 10 kilometre trail race. Each participant read a letter of information and signed an informed consent form before completing the questionnaire. A total of 197 completed informed consent and post-pilot questionnaires were collected and placed in separate sealed ballot boxes. A code was allocated to each questionnaire before data was captured on a spreadsheet for statistical analysis. RESULTS: In total, 145 questionnaires were statistically analysed. The results revealed that only ethnicity and how often the participant's trail ran per month were significant predictors of developing an injury. White participants were five times more likely to be injured compared to African participants and those who ran more than 10 times a month were 4.65 times more likely to be injured than those who ran less than five times a month. The most common past injuries sustained by trail runners was shown to be predominantly due to trauma, and were located in the knee, ankles and ITB regions. Current injuries were shown to be equally due to trauma and overuse, with predominant location being in the same anatomical regions as past injuries. CONCLUSION: The majority of the data collected was in line with the literature on running; however, most of those studies were done on road runners. The findings of this study were unique to trail runners in KwaZulu-Natal. Further studies are required on trail runners in other regions of South Africa to determine a clearer injury profile.
vThe effectiveness of environmental education on waste management practices in Mtumbane and Maheng townships in Port St. Johns, Eastern Cape
Authors:   , Njiva Innocent Dalumzi
Published: October 2021

In this democratic era, two of the largest previously disadvantaged communities in Port St Johns i.e. Mtumbane and Maheng were still without waste collection services. Solid waste was dumped indiscriminately and posed risks to health and the environment. To help these communities to achieve better health, this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of environmental education on waste management practices (WMP). The key objectives entailed establishing the knowledge, attitude and behaviour of sampled households towards WMP; evaluating the intervention of the 4Rs (reuse, reduce, recycle and recover) of WMP as taught to Grades 4 to 7 residing in the previously sampled households and assessing the impact of the intervention on WMP in these households. This study was undertaken in three phases. The pre-intervention and post-intervention phases included questionnaire administration occurring over two months. The intervention comprised the teaching of the 4Rs of WMP and the completion of a daily diary by Grades 4 to 7 residing in the previously sampled households.This study focused on statistically significant differences that were reported between pre- and post- intervention. The differences were meant to establish if the respondents had any changes in knowledge regarding solid waste management. Results showed that the use of plastic bags increased which showed a significant difference (p-value 0.034).Indiscriminate dumping of waste in Mtumbane decreased whereas in Maheng, there was no difference with their practices. Among the majority of respondents from Mtumbane, waste was regarded as something useful (p-value 0.003). The education associated with waste management for both townships increased by more than 15% and that made a significant difference (p-value 0.025). Further, more than half of the respondents in Mtumbane separated their waste. The results show that there was a significant difference (p-value 0.001) in Mtumbane and not in Maheng. This significant difference may be attributed to the distribution of adequate information as the two townships vary in distance from the municipal offices i.e. Mtumbane: three kilometres and Maheng: 15 km). It was found that the number of respondents willing to pay for waste collection services increased post-intervention (p-value 0.003). It appears that in every aspect when pre- and post-intervention were reported, there was a positive difference after the intervention phase. Four recommendations are proposed: (1) organising solid waste cleaning campaigns and environmental education in schools and communities; (2) the introduction of the 4Rs to communities; (3) the provision of communal waste skips and (4) the use of incentives to foster proper waste disposal practices. It is important for all future studies to consider a method for disseminating important information to the community in order that waste management strategies can be fully and successfully implemented.
A homeopathic drug proving of Anthropoides paradiseus 30CH with subsequent comparison to the ethology of the substance
Authors:   , Godfrey Melissa
Published: October 2021

Introduction The purpose of this study was to conduct a homoeopathic drug proving of Anthropoides paradiseus 30CH and to subsequently compare the symptoms derived during the proving to the ethology of the animal from which the proving substance was derived. Methodology The homoeopathic proving of Anthropoides paradiseus 30CH was conducted as a randomised double-blinded placebo-controlled trial at the Durban University of Technology on thirty participants. Twenty percent of the participants received a placebo while the remaining eighty percent received the active substance of Anthropoides paradiseus 30CH which was manufactured according to methods 6, 8a and 10 of the German Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia. After recruitment, a two-phase consent and a comprehensive initial consultation, participants who met the inclusion criteria were accepted into this study. Powders were ingested over a two-day period and thereafter the provers were monitored for a further five weeks. During the proving period, participants subjectively recorded their experiences in a journal and were monitored by the researcher. Following the proving period, journals were collected, and the data analysis took place. The symptoms of the verum group were converted to standard repertory and materia medica formats. The symptoms were then compared to the ethology of the animal from which the substance was derived so that similarities between the behaviour of the animal and the expressed symptom picture of the provers could be assessed. Results The proving of Anthropoides paradiseus 30CH produced symptoms in keeping with five hundred and seventy-four existing rubrics, and fifty-five new rubrics were created. The majority of rubrics were represented in the MIND, NOSE, STOMACH and DREAMS sections of the repertory. The general themes of dryness, thirst, increased or decreased energy, large appetite and laterality were seen. The common sensations were itching and heaviness. The mental themes which were clearly evident were: focus, lack of concentration, isolation, sociability, music, dance, exercise, anxiety, calmness and spirituality. Correlations between the behavioural, anatomical and physiological features of Anthropoides paradisus and the symptom picture produced by provers during the proving period was clearly evident. Conclusion Clearly observable symptoms were produced in healthy individuals following the administration of Anthropoides paradiseus 30CH. A clear correlation existed between the symptomatology produced during this proving and the ethology of Anthropoides paradiseus.
Bone Growth Stimulators for Treatment of Adults with Bone Disease or Injury
Authors: Tran Khai , Horton Jennifer
Published: October 2021

Electrical stimulation and low intensity pulsed ultrasound technologies for bone healing may have some beneficial effects on radiographic assessment outcomes (e.g., spinal fusion rate, radiographic nonunion rates, number of days to radiographic healing) and clinical assessment outcomes (e.g., mouth opening, wrist and shoulder mobility, exteroceptive sensation, and wound healing), but may not improve outcomes that are important to patients (e.g., functional recovery). Pain may be reduced by electrical bone growth stimulation devices, but not by low intensity pulsed ultrasound.

No adverse events (AEs) related to the low intensity pulsed ultrasound device were reported. It is unknown if there are AEs related to electrical stimulation devices (no evidence found).

Low intensity pulsed ultrasound for treatment of fresh tibial fractures was not cost-effective compared with placebo from either a payer perspective or societal perspective within the Canadian context.

It is unknown if electrical bone growth stimulator devices are cost-effective (no evidence found).

Pemerintah telah menerbitkan SKB 4 menteri pada 6 September 2021 untuk mendorong penerapan Pembelajaran Tatap Muka (PTM) terbatas. Hal ini dikarenakan situasi penanganan pandemi semakin membaik. Dengan adanya kebijakan itu guru harus mengubah rencana pembelajaran yang sudah dipersiapkan secara daring diubah menjadi model tatap muka terbatas. Untuk masa transisi ini per jam tatap muka 30 menit sehingga dengan waktu yang relatif pendek itu guru dituntut untuk dapat menyelesaikan tujuan pembelajarannya. Dengan berdasar pada latar belakang di atas guru harus pandai memilih model pembelajaran yang bisa disesuaikan dengan kondisi situasi terbaru. Blended learning merupakan salah satu alternatif model yang sesuai dengan kondisi saat ini. Blended learning merupakan model yang menggabungkan ciri-ciri terbaik dari pembelajaran di kelas (tatap muka) dan ciri-ciri terbaik pembelajaran online untuk meningkatkan pembelajaran mandiri secara aktif oleh peserta didik dan mengurangi jumlah waktu tatap muka di kelas. Blended learning merupakan solusi yang tepat dengan adanya perubahan jadwal pembelajaran tersebut. Pembelajaran daring yang sudah dipersiapkan masih bisa dipakai dalam pembelajaran tatap muka. Yakni hal-hal yang terbaik di pembelajaran daring digunakan untuk melengkapi pembelajaran tatap muka. Adapun perencanaan yang telah diterapkan dalam model blended learning ini yaitu Sinkronous langsung (live synchronous); suatu kondisi belajar terjadi pada waktu dan tempat bersamaan. Metode pembelajaran yang terjadi dalam konteks ini adalah ceramah dan diskusi kelompok. Tahap berikutnya Asinkronous Mandiri (Self-paced Asynchronous); suatu kondisi belajar secara mandiri, kapan saja, di mana saja sesuai dengan kondisi. Dalam konteks ini, belajar terjadi tanpa terikat dengan waktu dan tempat. Peserta didik difasilitasi dengan bahan ajar digital yang dikenal dengan istilah learning object dalam beragam format media baik yang berbasis teks, audio, video, animasi, simulasi, permainan atau pun kombinasi. Hasil pembelajaran model blended learning menunjukkan antusiasme siswa dalam mengikuti pembelajaran. Selain itu, hasil rata-rata test akhir teks cerita sejarah yaitu 82%

Abstract. The rise of the virtual field trip was unprecedent in 2020 and 2021 due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Virtual field trips aim to replicate the learning outcomes and experiences of actual field trips, by providing a digital alternative to in-field courses. They provide valuable opportunities for those unable to visit the field and alternative learning experiences for those that can. However, understanding their efficacy in term of learning outcomes, the effectiveness of learning support offered, and cohort cohesion generally remains untested. Here we show how negative aspects of a virtual field trip both pre- and post-course are countered by positive outcomes in terms of breadth of learning outcomes and experience. As part of our analysis, we tested methods to mitigate barriers to inclusion and learning on a virtual field trip including internet connectivity and hardware access, use of printed workbooks, and limitations to interaction, support and cohort cohesion. Our results show that although negative perceptions, as evidenced through questionnaire responses, are dominant, with 71 %–88 % of respondents commenting on these aspects across both student and staff cohorts pre- and post-course; positive aspects of virtual field trips (43 %–57 %) also feature highly. Students show a positive shift in their perception of online teaching and learning over the course with positive comments moving from 19 % pre-course to 71 % post-course, whereas positive comments by staff are low pre- and post-course at 14 %. Printed workbooks, staff: student ratios and interaction are received positively. Overall, we find that negative perceptions of virtual field trips pre- and post-course exist, but that both students and staff identify positive elements including breadth of learning outcomes, particularly regarding data synthesis and analysis. We suggest ways to learn from these findings to design virtual field trips that deliver effectively in blended learning environments for the benefit of all.

Published: October 2021

Abstract. Snowpack microstructure controls the transfer of heat to, and the temperature of, the underlying soils. In situ measurements of snow and soil properties from four field campaigns during two different winters (March and November 2018, January and March 2019) were compared to an ensemble of CLM5.0 (Community Land Model) simulations, at Trail Valley Creek, Northwest Territories, Canada. Snow MicroPenetrometer profiles allowed snowpack density and thermal conductivity to be derived at higher vertical resolution (1.25 mm) and a larger sample size (n = 1050) compared to traditional snowpit observations (3 cm vertical resolution; n = 115). Comparing measurements with simulations shows CLM overestimated snow thermal conductivity by a factor of 3, leading to a cold bias in wintertime soil temperatures (RMSE = 5.8 °C). Bias-correction of the simulated thermal conductivity (relative to field measurements) improved simulated soil temperatures (RMSE = 2.1 °C). Multiple linear regression shows the required correction factor is strongly related to snow depth (R2 = 0.77, RMSE = 0.066) particularly early in the winter. Furthermore, CLM simulations did not adequately represent the observed high proportions of depth hoar. Addressing uncertainty in simulated snow properties and the corresponding heat flux is important, as wintertime soil temperatures act as a control on subnivean soil respiration, and hence impact Arctic winter carbon fluxes and budgets.
Viewpoint: Turning streets into housing
Authors: Millard-Ball Adam
Published: October 2021

I argue that wide residential streets in US cities are both a contributor to homelessness and a potential strategy to provide more affordable housing. In residential neighborhoods, subdivision ordinances typically set binding standards for street width, far in excess of what is economically optimal or what private developers and residents would likely prefer. These street width standards are one contributor to high housing costs and supply restrictions, which exacerbate the housing affordability crisis in high-cost cities. Planning for autonomous vehicles highlights the overprovision of streets in urban areas. Because they can evade municipal anti-camping restrictions that restrict the use of streets by unhoused people, autonomous camper vans have the ability to blur the distinction between land for housing and land for streets. I propose two strategies through which excess street space can accommodate housing in a formalized way. First, cities could permit camper van parking on the right-of-way, analogous to liveaboard canal boats that provide housing options in some UK cities. Second, extending private residential lots into the right-of-way would create space for front-yard accessory dwelling units.

Alteridade e Antropofagia na Música da Funkeira MC Véia: Um Processo Folkcomunicacional
Authors: Silva Míriam Cristina Carlos , Postali Thífani
Published: October 2021

O artigo discute o fenômeno midiático “MC Véia”, que se transformou a partir do contato com o funk carioca. Leda Maria Soares Ferreira, a “MC Véia”, tem uma história marcada por transformações de identidade, quando teve que se mudar para um bairro periférico do Rio de Janeiro e se adaptar ao novo meio, criando laços afetivos e transformando-se a partir da cultura local por meio do funk. Para explicarmos essa transformação e produção cultural, apoiamo-nos na teoria da folkcomunicação e considerações da Escola de Chicago, além dos conceitos de antropofagia, com Oswald de Andrade, e hibridação cultural, com Néstor Canclini. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e exploratória, que conta, ainda, com a avaliação de posts no Facebook de Mc Véia, matérias em revistas e sites, entrevistas cedidas por Leda Maria à mídia e às autoras deste trabalho.
“100em1Dia Cuiabá”: Micropolíticas urbanas, mobilização social e ações para a cidadania
Authors: Medina Heidy Bello , Azevedo Maria Thereza de Oliveira , Gushiken Yuji
Published: October 2021

O artigo produz uma reflexão sobre o evento “100em1Dia Cuiabá”, em especial as dinâmicas comunicacionais das intervenções urbanas e das interações sociais desenvolvidas no desenvolvimento e na realização do festival voltado para a cidadania. Argumenta-se que a questão comunicacional, em sua dimensão de micropolíticas urbanas, possibilita a participação cidadã que potencializa a vida para subverter o planejamento urbanístico capitalista. Nesse sentido, as ações propostas por voluntários permitem pensar a relação entre folkcomunicação, ativismo político e cultura, ao mesmo tempo em que o trabalho coletivo se institui na memória dos indivíduos como força viva das revoluções moleculares para transformar as problemáticas cidades brasileiras. O ‘100em1DiaCuiabá’, ao colocar a cidade numa rede mundial de debates sobre cidadania, demanda considerar as dinâmicas da comunicação no bojo das práticas culturais na vida contemporânea em sua relação direta com as práticas políticas e a busca pela produção de uma vida mais subjetiva.
