title: Comparative analysis between portable spectrometer and integrating sphere spectrophotometer for measuring solar reflectance of tiles

description: Abstract Knowing the thermal properties of the surfaces of building envelope, such as the solar reflectance, is essential for the use of passive strategies to improve thermal performance of buildings. However, there is a lack of data for coatings produced in Brazil, because of the low availability of equipment and the need of specialized technicians. In order to simplify the access to these data, this work proposes the portable spectrometer ALTA II as an alternative to standardized measurement methods for solar reflectance of ceramic and fiber cement tiles. Therefore, solar reflectance data measured with a spectrophotometer with an integrating sphere were compared with those measured with the ALTA II for 39 tiles.Performance analyses of ALTA II from variations in the measurement method (with and without dark apparatus indoors and without apparatus outdoors) were inconclusive in determining the influence of the absence of a dark apparatus for the measurement on the selected samples. Despite the observed uncertainty, the research results showed strong correlation between the data measured on the ALTA II with the apparatus and with the spectrophotometer, indicating the spectrometer as an alternative for the solar reflectance measurement of these samples.

title: Immediate Results after Multiple Arterial Grafts in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery in the São Paulo State: Cross Cohort Study

description: Abstract Background The short-term results after using arterial grafts still raise questions and doubts for medical society. Objective To compare the immediate outcomes of patients undergoing single arterial graft versus multiple arterial grafts coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. Methods Cross-sectional cohort study in the São Paulo Registry of Cardiovascular Surgery II (REPLICCAR II). Perioperative data from 3122 patients were grouped by the number of arterial grafts used, and their outcomes were compared: reoperation, deep sternal wound infection (DSWI), stroke, acute kidney injury, prolonged intubation (&gt;24 hours), short hospital stay (&lt;6 days), prolonged hospital stay (&gt;14 days), morbidity and mortality. Propensity Score Matching (PSM) matched 1062 patients, adjusted for the mortality risk. Results After PSM, the single arterial graft group showed patients with advanced age, more former smokers, hypertension, diabetes, stable angina, and previous myocardial infarction. In the multiple arterial grafts, there was a predominance of males, recent pneumonia, and urgent surgeries. After the procedure, there was a higher incidence of pleural effusion (p=0.042), pneumonia (p=0.01), reintubation (p=0.006), DSWI (p=0.007), and sternal debridement (p=0.015) in the multiple arterial grafts group, however, less need for blood transfusion (p=0.005), extremity infections (p=0.002) and shorter hospital stays (p=0.036). Bilateral use of the internal thoracic artery was not related to increased DSWI rate, but glycosylated hemoglobin &gt;6.40% (p=0.048). Conclusion Patients undergoing the multiarterial technique had a higher incidence of pulmonary complications, and DSWI, where glycosylated hemoglobin ≥6.40%, had a greater influence on the infectious outcome than the choice of grafts.

title: A straightforward one-step strategy for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis and screening of variants of concern: a multicentre study

description: BACKGROUND The prevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants of concern (VOCs) has changed unevenly over time around the world. Although whole genome sequencing is the gold standard for virus characterisation, the discovery of alpha VOC causing spike gene target failure (SGTF) result, when tested using an reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay, has provided a simple tool for tracking the frequencies of variants. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate if a multiplex RT-qPCR assay (BioM 4Plex VOC) could be used to detect SARS-CoV-2 and to perform a VOC screening test in a single reaction tube. Here, we present the multicentre study evaluating this assay. METHODS Twelve laboratories have participated in the multicentre study. The BioM 4Plex VOC was distributed to them with detailed instructions of how to perform the test. They were asked to test the BioM 4Plex VOC in parallel with their routine Commercial SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic assay. Additionally, they were requested to select SARS-CoV-2-positive samples with genome sequenced and lineage definition according to PANGO lineage classification. FINDINGS The BioM 4Plex VOC and commercial RT-PCR assay are equally effective in detecting SARS-CoV-2. Results revealed a specificity of 96.5-100% [95% confidence interval (CI)], a sensitivity of 99.8-100% (95% CI), and an accuracy of 99.8-100% (95% CI). A 99% concordance rate was found between results from the BioM 4Plex VOC and that from available genome sequencing data. MAIN CONCLUSIONS The BioM 4Plex VOC provides an effective solution to detect SARS-CoV-2 infections and screening for VOCs in a single reaction. It is a straightforward method to help us monitor the frequency and distribution of VOCs and develop strategies to better cope with the pandemics.

title: Factors associated with injuries in Hawaiian canoe paddlers

description: Abstract Introduction The Hawaiian canoe has numerous bene-fits for those who use it. Furthermore, it is considered a moderate/high-intensity cyclic sport that can cause injuries. Studies on factors associated with injuries in Hawaiian canoe paddlers are considered limited and scarce. Objective To identify the profile of canoe paddlers and determine the main factors associated with injuries. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with 100 Hawaiian canoe paddlers (54% females, 45.6 ± 10.0 years old; 46% males, 44.8 ± 11.7 years old) using an online survey, with questions on sociodemographic and anthropometric information and practice and injuries. Results Participants reported having at least four years of experience with the modality, training approximately four times a week for a total of six hours. Almost half (45%) of the sample reported having been injured at least once while canoeing. The back/spine was the body region with the highest injury prevalence, with 38.6%. Intense training was considered the only associated factor for injuries (odds ratio: 3.98; 95% confidence interval: 1.71 - 9.26). Conclusion This pioneering study in Brazil allowed us to profile Hawaiian canoe paddlers and identify the main factors associated with injuries. Paddlers who train intensely are more likely to develop injuries during practice. Therefore, this variable must be considered when planning sessions.

title: Eco-efficient bricks of raw clay with solid waste and industrial effluent using unconventional technologies

description: Abstract Housing is an important durable economic good for human beings, constituting a fundamental social right and indicative of a dignified life. However, the global shortage of safe, quality and affordable housing is worrying. Considering the brick as one of the main components of civil construction, being the one with the highest volume employed, the present work aimed at developing, based on unconventional technologies, the eco-efficient clay and waste brick (TeBR), stabilized with the encapsulation of solid waste and industrial effluent in the soil, without burning and without Portland cement, with two holes horizontal to the masonry, with no structural function. The statistical analysis of the simple compressive strength of the specimens was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by the multiple comparison test (p&lt;0.05), for 28, 56 and 84 days, with the TMG trace significantly higher than the TBA. The compressive strengths at 84 days met the values established by standards. The most significant values occurred with traces 2TMG (1.2 MPa), 3TMG, 1TMG and 2TBA (1.1 MPa). In the water absorption tests, the limits were between 8.41% and 8.99%. Therefore, TeBR can contributing to housing of social interest in the pattern of sustainable development.

title: Sarcopenia, chronic pain, and perceived health of older: a cross-sectional study

description: Abstract Introduction Aging is a dynamic and progressive process that can be associated with the presence of morbidities, such as chronic diseases, and functional decline, characteristic of sarcopenia, which directly affects the self-perceived health of the older. Objective To test the hypothesis that there is an association between sarcopenia, chronic pain, and perceived health in the older. Methods The study used a quantitative approach and enrolled 43 sarcopenic elderly individuals registered in the University of The Third Age Program (UATI) at Universidade do Estado da Bahia, in Brazil, between November and December 2019. Data included patients’ sociodemographic and anthropometric characteristics, self-reported morbidities, multimorbidity, history of chronic pain and perceived health. The data were subjected to descriptive statistical analyses. Crossing of data was performed using Pearson’s chi-square test, and the correlation coefficient was assessed using Cramer’s Phi and V tests. Results There was an association of sarcopenia with chronic pain (p = 0.027) and with age group (p = 0.016), however not with perceived health (p = 0.09). There was also no association between age range and chronic pain (p &gt; 0.05). Conclusion According to the findings of this study, it can be concluded that sarcopenia is associated with the presence of chronic pain and the age of the elderly, not being associated with the perception of health. However, the age of the elderly was not associated with the presence of chronic pain.
