ABSTRACT: Surface contamination by pathogenic and deteriorating microorganisms is a constant concern in the food industry. Therefore, in this study we evaluated the antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), produced using the essential oil of Lippia origanoides Kunth and ethanolic extract of Hymenaea martiana Hayne, against bacteria used in milk processing. For this, AgNPs were synthesized and their antimicrobial activity was evaluated for minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations, time-kill, interference on the biofilm, and application on the surfaces of different materials. AgNPs showed bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 33591), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Choleraesuis (ATCC 10708), Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp.,andPseudomonas aeruginosa,and interfered with biofilm formation more than with consolidated biofilms. A 1hour period was sufficient to reduce the bacterial cells, whereas a Minimum Duration for Killing (MDK) of 99% was reached after approximately 30 min. AgNPs were effective against bacteria attached to stainless steel and polyethylene, but ineffective on tile surfaces. Thus, owing to the growing microbial resistance and the need to develop new products based on the concepts of green chemistry, these AgNPs are presented as a new possibility for cleaning processes in the food industry.

ABSTRACT Acute radiating low back pain is a frequently occurring clinical condition among the population, and it represents a significant portion of urgent care in public health services. Objective: Consider the clinical characteristics, demographics, as well as the intensity of the pain, discomfort, and dysfunction of patients who show a clinical diagnosis that is compatible with acute radicular pain, new or reoccurring after an asymptomatic period. Methods: Patients that display a clinical diagnosis that is compatible with acute sciatic nerve pain, with the beginning of it starting within three months, without previous history of a similar occurrence, were seen in an orthopedic health clinic from July 2020 to January 2021. Results: A total of 42 patients were seen with a compatible diagnosis, which represents 1.4% of all medical visits. To the best of our knowledge, no studies have considered the clinical and demographic characteristics of patients with acute radicular pain in the Brazilian population. This study has found a mean value on the disfunction index that is greater than what is suggested by the current literature. Conclusion: About 30% of individuals showed functional involvement that was considered crippling, which presented a stronger association with individuals with the presence of motor deficits, intensity of radiating pain, and professional inactivity. Level of Evidence IV, Cross-Sectional Study.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo transversal foi analisar os fatores associados ao estresse ocupacional entre cirurgiões-dentistas atuantes no setor privado no primeiro ano da pandemia de COVID-19 no Brasil. Incluiu 384 profissionais do estado do Paraná, cujos dados foram obtidos entre agosto e outubro de 2020 por meio de formulário online. Dois desfechos compuseram proxy de estresse ocupacional: (1) ansiedade e preocupação e (2) preparo e segurança para o trabalho durante a pandemia. As variáveis independentes foram agrupadas segundo modelo teórico explicativo em fatores individuais, organizacionais e extraorganizacionais. As associações foram testadas por regressão logística bi e multivariada. Apesar de preparados e seguros, os profissionais se sentiam ansiosos e preocupados para o atendimento clínico. Mulheres, mais jovens e que não receberam orientações sobre as medidas de segurança apresentaram maiores chances de relatar insegurança e despreparo. Profissionais mais jovens, que não participavam da tomada de decisões e que às vezes dispunham de auxiliar para o trabalho a quatro mãos, tiveram maiores chances de se sentirem ansiosos e preocupados. Além dos fatores individuais, fatores organizacionais do trabalho estão associados ao estresse ocupacional entre cirurgiões-dentistas no primeiro ano da pandemia.

Abstract This study examined the prevalence of anxiety and depression associated with Community Health Workers’ (CHWs’) working conditions in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. This cross-sectional study was carried out in the north of Minas Gerais, Brazil by applying a questionnaire addressing sociodemographic conditions, command of technologies and working conditions during the pandemic, as well as the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Patient Health Questionnare-9 (PHQ-9). Descriptive and multiple Poisson regression analyses were performed with robust variance, to a 5% level of significance (p < 0.05) for the final model. A total of 1,220 CHWs from 36 municipalities participated in the study. Prevalences were 41.8% and 31.6% for anxiety and depression, respectively, while 22.5% of the group displayed symptoms of both conditions. Being female, up to 40 years old, having more than 500 users registered for monitoring, and inadequate supply of personal protective equipment were associated with anxiety and depression among the CHWs. Prevalence of anxiety and depression was high among CHWs during the pandemic and working conditions figured prominently among the associated factors.

Abstract This article investigates the correlation between work engagement and work-related quality of life among nursing staff at a public hospital in São Paulo State, at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. A descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional study of nursing personnel was conducted from December 2020 to January 2021, using the Brazilian versions of the Work & Well-being Survey (Utrecht Work Engagement Scale - UWES) and the Work-related Quality of Life (WRQoL) scale, following Walton’s model. Nursing staffs returned a strong positive correlation (r≥0.70) between the social integration domain of the WRQoL and the vigour dimension of the UWES (r=0.88; p=<0.001); a moderate positive correlation (r≥0.40≤0.69) between working conditions (WRQOL) and the vigour (r=0.40; p<0.001), dedication (r=0.40; p<0.001) and overall score (r=0.41; p<0.001) dimensions of the UWES. Correlations were positive and weak (r≤0.39) for the other WRQoL domains and the UWES dimensions. It was concluded that personnel with satisfactory levels of quality of life tend to show higher levels of engagement at work. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, nursing professionals were strongly engaged and satisfied with their work-related quality of life.

Abstract The present study aimed to describe sociodemographic and health characteristics of Ministry of Health workers and possible associations with work affected by COVID-19. This was an observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study, conducted between July and October 2021. This study counted on the participation of 821 workers (67.6% women and 32.4% men), 53.3% of white race/color, 66.7% with a postgraduate degree, 38.7% with an income of 5 to 10 minimum wages. In addition, 65.4% reported having some form of disease, 69.2% had health insurance, 64.5% consumed alcohol, 6.1% were smokers, 67.4% practiced physical activity, and 53.8% and 52.2%, respectively, considered their physical and mental health to be good. For 81.8%, work was affected by the pandemic. Factors associated with work affected by the pandemic, after controlling for confounding variables, were level of education and mental health. According to 55%, the emotional aspects represent the variable that most affected their work. The results pointed out characteristics of Ministry of Health workers that can contribute to the planning of health protection and promotion actions. Investment in future studies is warranted, especially as regards the issue of health workers that are not directly in the “frontline” of COVID-19 but who are essential for crisis management during a pandemic.

Resumo Trata-se de um artigo original que aborda a força de trabalho (FT) em saúde no Brasil, suas comorbidades e alterações da saúde mental na pandemia da COVID-19. O estudo conduzido pela Fundação Oswaldo Cruz coletou dados por meio de questionário on-line com um total de 36.612 participantes: profissionais de saúde (PS, formação de nível superior), e trabalhadores invisíveis (TI, nível técnico). A prevalência de comorbidades no Brasil foi de 26,1% e 23,9%, a maior foi hipertensão arterial (27,4% e 31,9%), seguida da obesidade (18,4% e 15,1%), doenças crônicas respiratórias (15,7% e 12,9%), diabetes mellitus (10,3% e 10,4%), e depressão/ansiedade (9,1% e 11,7%), nos PS e TI, respectivamente. A região com maior frequência foi a sudeste onde concentra-se o maior contingente de trabalhadores. A FT acometida com alta carga de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis e exposta ao SARS-CoV-2, torna-se vulnerável para o adoecimento e morte. Sintomas mentais e intenso sofrimento psíquico foram relatados. Os resultados deste estudo nos permitem estimar o impacto na saúde física e mental, e nas condições de vida e de trabalho da FT. A saúde e a vida dos trabalhadores, protagonistas no enfrentamento dos desafios da pandemia, são prioridade nas políticas públicas.

Abstract This is an original article that addresses the healthcare workforce (HW) in Brazil, as well as comorbidities and mental health changes during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was conducted by the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation and collected data through an online questionnaires from a total of 36,612 participants, health professionals (HP, with higher education level), and invisible healthcare workers (IHW, with a technical mid-level education). The overall prevalence of comorbidities in Brazil was 26.1% and 23.9%; the highest was arterial hypertension (27.4% and 31.9%), followed by obesity (18.4% and 15.1%), chronic respiratory diseases (15.7% and 12.9%), diabetes mellitus (10.3% and 10.4%), and depression/anxiety (9.1% and 11.7%), in the HW and IHW, respectively. The region with the highest frequency was the southeast, where the largest contingent of workers is located. The HW, affected with a high burden of non-communicable chronic diseases and exposed to SARS-CoV-2, proved to be vulnerable to illness and death. Mental symptoms and intense psychological suffering have been reported. These results allow us to estimate the impacts upon physical and mental health, as well as upon living and working conditions of the HW. The health and life of workers, leading role in facing health challenges of the pandemic, are a high priority in public policies.

Published: October 2023

Abstract The present article analyzed the process of precarious work relations in the health sector, demonstrating how this situation generated illness and suffering among workers. The text sought to register how the institutional adoption of neoliberal economic conceptions, of the reduction of State social policies, coupled with a history of cultural rejection of labor rights, provided the attraction of mechanisms of precarious work for the public sector, notably, the outsourcing of labor and the provision of services. In a second moment, the text points out the legal improprieties committed, presenting the consequences of the weakening of the legal bond in the working conditions of these workers, mainly regarding working hours and remuneration, also highlighting how much the dissemination of these links represented a factor of a general reduction in wages and labor and social security rights in the sector. Data from Fiocruz surveys on working conditions during the pandemic were also presented. The article concludes by showing the urgency of rescuing the legal labor institutes that were abandoned in the historical path studied in order to guide the public health policies in a new direction.
Carrying life and death: the daily routine of hospital stretcher bearers in the context of COVID-19
Authors: Araujo Luísa Maiola de , Santos Adriana Kelly
Published: October 2023

Abstract This article aims to analyze the daily work of stretcher bearers in a Federal Teaching and Research Hospital in the context of COVID-19, exploring the subjective aspects related to working in constant contact with death and the invisibility to which these workers are subjected. The proposed discussion stems from a more comprehensive qualitative investigation. The main methodological resource of the empirical research was the direct observation in the daily work that allowed one to capture nuances of the work in a dialectical analysis with the workers. The data obtained were analyzed from the perspective of Social Psychology of Work. Transience and invisibility were identified as important categories of analysis of this daily work, where the process of becoming a stretcher-bearer was marked by aspects of precariousness of work and vulnerability of the worker. Working in contact with death was also understood as a factor of invisibility, where the creation of bonds and humor appeared as a collective strategy to face the harshness of work. This article concluded by examining the importance of looking at the subjective aspects of the work carried out by stretcher bearers, as well as the expansion of research on the subject.

Abstract This article addresses the world of healthcare work, especially in the Brazilian Unified Healthcare System (SUS) in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. This study used data from the following surveys: “Working conditions of health professionals in the context of COVID-19 in Brazil” and “The Invisible health workers: working conditions and mental health in the context of COVID-19 in Brazil”. Data analysis proves that the pandemic highlighted existing structural problems within SUS, involving the issue of healthcare workforce (HWF) management, which can be interpreted as another reflection of the socioeconomic inequalities that already exist in the country. This article highlights: the reduced provision of permanent education, the regulation of hybrid care, precariousness, a lack of protection in the work environment, as well as fragile biosecurity leading to tragic rates of illness and death of health workers. Our study concludes by showing the importance of formulating public policies in the scope of education and work management in SUS that ensure the discussion on hybrid care as a new way of acting without losing quality, together with the need to review issues related to permanent education, protection, valuation, and reduction of inequalities pointed out among the professional contingents analyzed in this article.
Misinformation, political preferences, and cognitive traits: a look at the Brazilian electorate
Authors: Oliveira Carlos
Published: October 2023

To contribute to the expanding literature on misinformation in contexts beyond developed countries, this article seeks answers to questions such as: Who are the individuals more susceptible to misinformation? What determines such a vulnerability? This research employs a sample of Brazilian voters surveyed between May and June 2019, and it concludes that partisan preferences alone do not explain susceptibility to misinformation. The impact of partisanship on proneness to misinformation is moderated by analytical ability, need for cognition, and political knowledge. People with high levels of these attributes tend to be more capable of evaluating information through the lens of their political beliefs. Furthermore, the findings suggest that individuals with the highest trust in professional journalism may be less prone to misinformation.
O partido do presidente do Brasil no Legislativo: centralização de trabalho nas comissões permanentes
Authors: Vasquez Vitor , Magalhães Benjamin de Oliveira
Published: October 2023

No Brasil, o partido presidencial centraliza cargos e propostas legislativas no Executivo, demonstrando empenho em implementar sua agenda. Porém, um projeto só se torna lei após passar pelo Legislativo, o que frequentemente é alterado nas comissões. Assim o partido presidencial busca centralização também nesses órgãos. Este artigo analisa se e como isso ocorre. Analisamos descritivamente, e com regressão logística, dados da Câmara da presidência de comissão e relatoria (1995-2014). Apontamos que o partido presidencial recebe relatorias em proporção superior ao peso de sua bancada, sobretudo em projetos do governo: seus deputados presidem as comissões que mais designam relatores e priorizam seus correligionários nas indicações. O artigo traz contribuições sobre relação Executivo-Legislativo, gerenciamento de coalizão e ratifica a relevância das comissões no processo decisório.

Bissexualidade e ambiguidade: relações metafóricas e processos metonímicos em produções discursivas sobre a bissexualidade
Authors: Calmon Diego
Published: October 2023

Resumo A ausência de pesquisas sobre a bissexualidade no século XX somada às preocupações em torno da epidemia da AIDS possibilitou a construção de narrativas especulativas sobre a população bissexual, sendo comumente descrita como uma categoria ambígua. Mediante uma análise antropológica, propõe-se refletir sobre os complexos simbólicos que produzem a bissexualidade como uma categoria ambígua, relacionando-a com a produção discursiva sobre as ficções de contágios, essencialmente metonímicas.
COVID-19, necropolítica e prisões femininas no estado do Amazonas
Authors: Silva Ellen de Moraes e , Santos Rayra Pereira Buriti , Marques Dorli João Carlos , Ferreira Aldo Pacheco
Published: October 2023

Resumo O Estado em seu discurso de proteção aos seus cidadãos e da necessidade do encarceramento em massa, utiliza-se dos poderes inerentes a ele, para abreviar direitos e conduzi-los de modo que a desigualdade estrutural acabe por ampliar os efeitos do vírus dentro das prisões. Diante disto, este estudo tem como objetivo trazer uma reflexão sobre biopolítica, biopoder e necropolítica nas prisões femininas do estado do Amazonas e como este conceito foi aguçado na crise de saúde pública causada pela pandemia de Covid-19. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura, de cunho exploratório-descritivo, através de uma abordagem qualitativa. O período estudado compreende os anos de 2020 a 2022, auge da crise da Covid-19 em todo o planeta. Os resultados apontam para um regime necropolítico de atenção à saúde criando historicamente nos estabelecimentos penais um ambiente não propício a condições dignas de vida, tampouco apto para retardar a morte.
Guatemala no século XXI: a contrainsurgência permanente
Authors: Santos Fabio Luis Barbosa dos
Published: October 2023

Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a evolução política recente da Guatemala, tendo como pano de fundo o reordenamento econômico e político produzido pelos acordos de paz de 1996, e tendências autoritárias que atravessam a região em anos recentes. Especificamente, indaga-se por que os protestos populares que derrubaram o presidente militar Pérez Molina em 2015, não abriram caminho para uma ulterior democratização do país. Ao contrário, argumenta-se que este processo engendrou uma reação da classe dominante que ganha os contornos de uma reversão autoritária. Este trabalho está embasado em pesquisa de campo, mas também recorre a material jornalístico e à bibliografia pertinente. A hipótese desta pesquisa é que se reatualiza no presente, o estado de contrainsurgência permanente que caracteriza a história independente do país.

Ordinary Spaces and Extraordinary Transformations: Ação da Cidadania's Fight Against Hunger
Authors: Zambiasi Tamara
Published: October 2023

Abstract This article examines the creation and the first year of existence of Ação da Cidadania to comprehend how it established a social justice agenda in Brazil by creating awareness and promoting solidarity. The movement redefined the issue of hunger, previously associated with poorer classes, as a problem that affects all sectors of society. Through an analysis of Betinho’s manuscripts and memoirs, promotional material from the organization, and secondary geographical data, this study presents the campaign's role as an intermediary for hunger under a framework of space as a producer of social relations. Ação da Cidadania serves as an example of partnership and solidarity for social change, creating non-state public spaces and inspiring civil organizations and social movements.
Capitalismo periférico, sistema penal neoliberal e práxis abolicionista
Authors: São José César Augusto Ferreira , Costa Daniela Carvalho Almeida da
Published: October 2023

Resumo O presente artigo objetiva discutir diferentes aspectos pertinentes ao modo de atuação do sistema penal neoliberal no Brasil. Diante do avanço neoliberal concomitante à restrição da condição humana, perguntamo-nos como o pensamento de Frantz Fanon pode contribuir para a compreensão desse aparato punitivo. Assim, mobilizamos os processos de racialização por ele articulados diante da situação colonial para compreendermos a matriz colonial de poder como arranjo institucional da posição brasileira na periferia do capitalismo e como elemento norteador da atuação racista do nosso sistema penal. Por isso, a análise daqueles aspectos aponta para a necessária interrupção das práticas de extermínio institucionalizadas contra a população negras, pelo resgate da resistência abolicionista.
Raízes da Exaustão de Mulheres Trabalhadoras Brasileiras: Contribuições do Materialismo Histórico Dialético
Authors: Onuma Fernanda Mitsue Soares , Oliveira Aline Lourenço de , Amâncio Júlia Moretto
Published: October 2023

RESUMO Objetivo: neste ensaio, analisamos raízes da exaustão de trabalhadoras brasileiras como realidade anterior à pandemia da COVID-19 a partir do método do materialismo histórico dialético para articularmos o conceito de reprodução social à teoria marxista da dependência de pensadores brasileiros. Tese: a partir dos conceitos de reprodução social e capitalismo dependente, apontamos como mesmo antes desta crise sanitária mundial, a sobrecarga de trabalhos, dentro e fora do espaço doméstico, já era uma realidade para mulheres brasileiras. Sugerimos que a superexploração, essencial ao capitalismo dependente, implica a intensificação crescente do tempo de trabalho de mulheres trabalhadoras brasileiras, ao mesmo tempo que a dependência nos relega a tarefa de reprodução social interna e externa no capitalismo mundializado. Conclusões: a ruptura com estes processos demanda a transformação radical da ordem social e sistema econômico vigentes, para a qual a organização política para cobrança de pagamento pelo Estado ao trabalho reprodutivo é passo importante no combate ao exaurimento de mulheres.
Process of (Re)Organization of Productive and Reproductive Work of Women in Confection
Authors: Souza Denise Clementino de , Lima Mariana Patrícia , Lima Cristiane Ana da Silva
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: this article analyzed how women who own a clothing business in the Agreste region of Pernambuco (re)organized their productive and reproductive work in the private space of their homes, taking into account gender relations. Theoretical framework: it is based on the discussion about the sexual division of labor, the dynamics of conciliation between public and private spaces, the triple shift, and the insertion of women in the labor market, based on the problems they face. Method: a qualitative descriptive approach was used, with 23 semi-structured interviews. Results: findings point out that having their own business at home generates a false impression of flexibility for women; the owners’ work routine is exhaustive and with the accumulation of productive and reproductive activity intertwined in the same space, generating triple shifts and precarious working conditions; the financial emancipation of women who work in clothing occurs from the (re)organization of their functions in the private environment of the home, diverging from the literature that relates their autonomy to entering the public environment of the labor market; and informality, typical of the region, favors the entry of the interviewees into the clothing sector, but deprives them of access to social security. Conclusion: the theoretical contributions reveal that women do not necessarily need to leave the private space to enter the productive work world and achieve a certain emancipation, as they manage to do this from the (re)organization of productive work in the home environment itself.
A (Im)produtividade do Trabalho Reprodutivo e a Exaustão das Mulheres na Contemporaneidade
Authors: Souza Marília Duarte de , Ferraz Deise Luiza
Published: October 2023

RESUMO Objetivo: debater a (im)produtividade do trabalho reprodutivo, potencialidades e limites da expansão do capital sobre esse trabalho para alterar a opressão que se manifesta nas condições de exaustão das mulheres na contemporaneidade. Marco teórico: partimos de uma perspectiva marxiana, consideramos que os debates acerca da produtividade do trabalho reprodutivo devam superar as análises baseadas na imediaticidade deste trabalho e apreender as determinantes que envolvem a absorção pelo capital de um trabalho enquanto trabalho produtivo, reprodutivo ou improdutivo. Métodos: coletamos dados estatísticos secundários disponibilizados pelo IBGE, pelo Sebrae e pelo British Cleaning Council, a análise foi realizada com base no materialismo histórico. Resultados: demonstramos que o capital tem se apropriado produtivamente do trabalho reprodutivo, no entanto, tal apropriação não tem significado alteração das condições de divisão sexual do trabalho e exaustão das mulheres. Conclusão: concluímos que ao invés de a transmutação de trabalho reprodutivo a produtivo ser um avanço para a emancipação das mulheres, tem sido fonte de maior exploração de sua força de trabalho e de exaustão, uma vez que tal apropriação não supera a exploração que engendra a universalidade de opressões sob o capitalismo, conforme as necessidades de valorização do valor.
Vivir Bajo una Pared Escarpada: La Otra Fachada de Mujeres Chinas
Authors: Ding Yi
Published: October 2023

RESUMEN Objetivos: Mientras que el feminismo está cobrando más atención internacional tanto en los medios de comunicación tradicionales como en los nuevos, y los esfuerzos colectivos como #MeToo están generando más influencia visible en las sociedades, pensamos que las historias personales de las mujeres también merecen la pena ser contadas. Provocaciones: Este trabajo comienza con una joven quien deseó ser una profesora porque era una vocación "doméstica" y "perfecta para el matrimonio", pero ahora lleva una vida completamente distinta: realiza una investigación sobre funerales. Ofrecemos una visión cronológica de cómo se ha producido esa transición y las motivaciones detrás de ella; lo más importante, demostramos abiertamente las expectativas y los estereotipos hacia las mujeres en la sociedad y cultura china. No obstante, el objetivo sigue siendo orientar la mirada hacia las mujeres con una perspectiva abierta, construir una ‘ella’ como individuo y viva en vez de una ‘ella’ en los programas de televisión o de las obras literarias. Conclusiones: Creo que el hecho de narrar es necesario, ya que contribuye a las narrativas de las mujeres en una dimensión internacional, al reconocer los esfuerzos y las luchas durante el proceso de crecimiento y autoidentificación, y destaca el papel que la sociedad y la educación desempeñan. La conclusión sigue a la historia personal, y hace hincapié en la lucha continua contra los estereotipos y las desigualdades.

ABSTRACT The exhaustion faced by academics served as the starting point for this special issue - edited, written, and reviewed exclusively by cis and trans women. We understand exhaustion as a consequence of historical and daily battles for gender equality, aggravated by the burden of reproductive work. Thus, even when exhausted, we accepted this challenge out of the conviction of the political role necessary to open spaces in the face of a masculine logic of science production. This editorial was structured based on recognizing the importance of producing, identifying, and living with the challenges necessary to disrupt oppression. These challenges come in the form of (1) bringing together female editors, authors, and reviewers from different regions, academic backgrounds, and diverse representations; (2) time, which revealed itself as an instrument of domination and gender violence; (3) the operationalization of the contradiction in producing an edition exclusively for women, considering the male logic of practicing science. This edition should be read as a pedagogical instrument to visualize the challenges experienced, and it is a call for collective responsibility in the fight to create space in everyday life, specifically in the academic field. Finally, if we are to combat injustices, we must provoke daily discomfort, and this edition set out to do just that.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the scientific evidence on the impacts caused by the use of screens during the COVID-19 pandemic in children and adolescents, raising reflections for future interventions with this public. Data source: This is an integrative literature review, conducted in the databases Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), United States National Library of Medicine (PubMed), Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase, published from March 2020 to January 2022, in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Data synthesis: The search strategies allowed retrieving 418 articles, of which 218 were duplicates. The analysis of titles and abstracts resulted in the maintenance of 62 studies. Of these, 31 were excluded from the reading of the full text, since they did not clearly present the phenomenon investigated. Thirty-one were eligible, resulting in five categories: eye consequences; increased sedentary behavior and weight; change in eating habits; implications for sleep quality and impacts on mental health. Conclusions: The excessive use of screens during the pandemic led to numerous consequences for children and adolescents, with a higher incidence of visual damage, sedentary lifestyle, inadequate eating habit and increased weight gain, in addition to impaired sleep quality and mental health. This study provides subsidy for health professionals to carry out continuing education focused on this theme, and elaborate effective interventions for this public in this transition to the post-pandemic period.
Ankyloglossia severity in infants: maternal pain, self-efficacy, and functional aspects of breastfeeding
Authors: Batista Christyann Lima Campos , Pereira Alex Luiz Pozzobon
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze functional aspects of breastfeeding, self-efficacy, and pain reported by mothers during breastfeeding, in newborns with severe and mild ankyloglossia. Methods: This is an observational study, carried out with 81 babies with ankyloglossia, assessed by the Bristol Tongue Assessment Tool (severe: scores 0–3; mild: scores 4–6) nested in a cohort carried out at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Maranhão, São Luis, Brazil. The functional aspects of breastfeeding were analyzed using the Breastfeeding Observation Form of the United Nations Children's Fund (BOF-UNICEF) and the LATCH Scoring System. Breastfeeding self-efficacy was measured using the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale — Short-Form. Pain indicators were evaluated by the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire. The significance level adopted was 5%. Results: Maternal age was 26.7±0.8 years, and 64.2% reported high school education. Most babies were male (67.9%), and the birth weight was 3232±60g. A significant association was detected in the sucking aspect evaluated by the BOF-UNICEF [β=0.22 (95%CI 0.07; 0.73), p-value=0.013]. However, the groups did not differ in the assessment of breastfeeding performed by the LATCH scale. The groups had no differences in the assessment of breastfeeding self-efficacy reported by mothers, and in pain scores. Conclusions: Despite the observation of sucking difficulty in infants with severe ankyloglossia., the quality of breastfeeding in general, maternal pain, and self-efficacy reported by mothers do not differ when compared with infants with mild ankyloglossia. Therefore, the severity of ankyloglossia seems not to affect the breastfeeding indicators.

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the COVID-19 clinical characteristics, associated comorbidities, and outcomes in adolescents. Data source: This is a systematic review study based on articles published between 2020 and 2022 in the United States National Library of Medicine - PubMed (MedLine), Virtual Health Library – VHL (LILACS), Science Direct, Web of Science, and Scopus (Elsevier) databases. The study was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews, under No. CRD42022309108. Data synthesis: A total of 1188 studies were identified. After applying the selection criteria, 13 articles were included. Prevalence was 25%; mild cases were predominant; and fever, cough, headache, anosmia, nasal congestion, and ageusia were frequent. Fever and cough were proportionally higher in hospitalized cases: 81 and 68%, respectively. Dyspnea (odds ratio [OR] 6.3; confidence interval 95%[CI] 2.8–14.3), fever (OR 3.8; 95%CI 2.0–7.4), and cough (OR 3.4; 95%CI 2.0–6.0) were associated with severe cases. Up to 28% required intensive care and 38% required mechanical ventilation. Pre-existing comorbidities increased the risk of hospitalization and death. Severe cases were associated with the risk of death (relative risk [RR] 4.6; 95%CI 2.8–7.5). The black, mixed, and indigenous races/skin colors represented risk groups, as well as residents of poorer regions. Conclusions: The review provided a better understanding of the disease profile and may favor the development of public policies, in addition to contributing to the current literature in the field of adolescent health.

ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed to verify the association between childhood anthropometric indicators and areal bone mineral density (aBMD) in adulthood. Methods: Repeated measures of 137 subjects (68 females) were obtained in childhood (9.2±1.5 years of age) and adulthood (22.3±1.7 years of age). aBMD (g/cm2) was assessed for whole body, lumbar spine, upper and lower limbs, and femoral neck in adulthood using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Anthropometric measurements of body weight (BW), height, triceps and subscapular skinfolds were obtained in childhood. The anthropometric indicators used were BW, body mass index (BMI), and sum of skinfolds (ΣSF). Simple linear regression was used to assess the association between childhood anthropometric indicators and aBMD in adulthood, controlled by chronological age and stratified by sex, with 5% statistical significance. Results: In females, multiple associations were observed between anthropometric indicators and aBMD, with higher coefficients for BMI (β=0.020; R2=0.20; p<0.01 for right femoral neck to β=0.008; R2=0.16; p<0.01 for upper limbs), followed by BW (β=0.003; R2=0.21; p<0.01 for upper limbs to β=0.008; R2=0.20; p<0.01 for right femoral neck) and ΣSF (β=0.001; R2=0.06; p<0.01 for upper limbs to β=0.005; R2=0.12; p<0.01 for right femoral neck). In males, associations were observed only for the lumbar spine region (β=0.016; R2=0.09 for BMI to β=0.004; R2=0.06; p<0.01 for ΣSF). Conclusions: Anthropometric indicators of childhood proved to be sensitive predictors of aBMD in adulthood, especially in females. BMI indicated a greater association with aBMD in both sexes.
