title: The expansion of the macrometropolis and the creation of new metropolitan regions: a new trend for institutional metropolization in the state of São Paulo?

description: Abstract The article evaluates São Paulo’s metropolitan management from 2010 onwards, in light of the state government’s regulation of new metropolitan regions and the consolidation of the São Paulo macrometropolis as a regional scale of planning. The asymmetries of the Brazilian federalism concerning the conflictive and competitive character of intergovernmental relations have been one of the main obstacles to the consolidation of the metropolitan management. With the Metropolis Statute, which came into force in 2015, the new federal legislation reinforces the necessary reflection on the trends of institutional metropolization, which, in the case of São Paulo, has not yet succeeded in overcoming the persistent socio-spatial inequalities expressed in the urban-metropolitan tissue.

title: Efficiency of Blotter test and agar culture medium to detect Fusarium graminearum and Pyricularia grisea in wheat seeds

description: Abstract: Seeds can be considered one of the most efficient forms to disseminate pathogens. Therefore, the use of healthy seeds is extremely important to establish a crop, and seed health testing must be performed to determine the seed sanitary quality. This study aimed to compare the efficiency of seed health testing to detect Pyricularia grisea and Fusarium graminearum in three samples of wheat seeds. Methods evaluated were Blotter test with freezing (BTF) and potato-dextrose-agar culture medium (PDA). The incubation temperatures were 20 ºC and 25 ºC. From each sample, a subsample was submitted to seed asepsis using hypochlorite solution (1%) and another analyzed without seed asepsis. The temperatures evaluated did not influence the detection of the pathogens. P. grisea incidence ranged from 4.5 to 17% with BTF without seed asepsis. The BTF with seed asepsis and PDA (with and without seed asepsis) presented pathogen incidence no higher than 1.5%. Moreover, results suggested that most part of P. grisea inoculum was presented externally on seed tissues. PDA medium was more efficient to detect F. graminearum, independently of seed asepsis. By this method, pathogen incidence ranged from 3 to 39%. F. graminearum incidence using BTF with seed asepsis varied from 0.5 to 1.5% and BTF without seed asepsis presented a pathogen incidence of 5.0 to 12.5%. The Blotter test with freezing was more efficient to detect P. grisea while the PDA medium was more efficient to detect F. graminearum.

title: Illicit drugs use as risk factor of dental trauma among adolescents

description: Abstract The dental trauma and consumption of illicit drugs can seriously jeopardize adolescents’ health and are considered serious public health problems. Objective To investigate the association between dental trauma and the use of illicit drugs and socioeconomic status among adolescents 12 years of age. Methods Cross-sectional study involving 633 adolescents enrolled in public and private schools of the city Diamantina-MG. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires and clinical examination. The dental trauma was assessed by Andreasen classification and consumption of illicit drugs was investigated using the ASSIST instrument (Involvement Screening Test for with Alcohol, Cigarette and Other Substances). Associations were tested using the Chi-square test and Fisher's Exact test (p &lt;0.05). Results The presence of dental trauma was observed in 176 adolescents (29.9%). The reported prevalence of marijuana use was 1.5% (9/588), 0.3% cocaine (2/588) and inhalants 1.7% (10/588). Dental trauma was more prevalent among adolescent males (p=0.010) who had used marijuana (p=0.024) in life. Conclusion The observed association between illicit drug use and male with dental trauma suggests the need to adopt policies for the effective control of these conditions especially at an early age.

title: PRODUCTION COMPONENTS OF Vigna unguiculata (L. Walp) IRRIGATED WITH BRACKISH WATER UNDER DIFFERENT LEACHING FRACTIONS

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to evaluate the production components of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) subjected to irrigation with brackish water and different leaching fractions. The experiment was conducted in a lysimeter system of the Department of Agricultural Engineering of the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco, Recife campus. The treatments, consisting of two water salinity levels (ECw) (1.2 and 3.3 dS m-1) and five leaching fractions (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%), were evaluated using a completely randomized design in a 2x5 factorial arrangement with four replications. The variables evaluated were: number of pods per plant, 100-grain weight, number of grains per pod, grain and shoot dry weight, grain yield and harvest index. The soil salinity increased with increasing salinity of the water used for irrigation, and reduced with increasing leaching fraction. The salinity of the water used for irrigation influenced only the variables number of pods per plant and grain yield. The estimated leaching fractions of 9.1% and 9.6% inhibited the damage caused by salinity on the number of pods per plant and grain yield, respectively. Therefore, the production of V. unguiculata irrigated with brackish water, leaching salts from the plant root environment, is possible under the conditions evaluated.

title: Analysis of Adherence to Antihypertensive Drug Treatment in an Argentinean Cohort

description: Abstract Background Adherence to antihypertensive medication is a major challenge in the management of hypertension, and non-adherence is an important barrier to effective management of hypertension. Objectives To determine the adherence rate to hypertensive drug treatment and the factors that influence non-adherence in a cohort of the Argentinean population. Methods A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted in eight cities of Argentina. Consecutive hypertensive patients seen in general practice offices, receiving pharmacological treatment for at least six months were included. Blood pressure measurements were performed by physicians during the patient visit. The level of adherence was assessed using the Morisky questionnaire, and patients were divided into non-adherent and adherent. Continuous variables were compared using independent t-test. Categorical variables were compared using the χ2 test. To identify the variables independently associated with non-adherence, a forward stepwise binary regression logistic model was performed, and the results expressed as odds ratio (OR) with 95% of confidence interval. All tests were two-tailed, and p-values &lt; 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results A total of 852 individuals (52% women, 62 ± 13 years) were included. The main reason for lack of adherence was forgetfulness of medication intake and errors in the time of intake (~ 40% in both). Individuals with more cardiovascular risk factors (smoking, diabetes, dyslipidemia and previous cardiovascular events) had lower adherence to antihypertensive treatment, and considerably younger (~ five years younger). Conclusions Adherence rate to antihypertensive drug treatment in our study group was higher than the one reported in previous studies, and the main reason for non-adherence was forgetfulness of medication intake.

title: Permanent Health Education and National Program for Improving Access and Quality of Primary Care: a cross-sectional and descriptive study

description: ABSTRACT The Permanent Health Education, contemplated by the Ministry of Health as an institutional policy, is one of the pillars of strategic potential for the transformation of the processes in the Unified Health System. This cross-sectional and descriptive study investigated the Brazilian panorama of Permanent Health Education, from secondary data of the Ministry of Health, extracted from the external evaluation census of the National Program for Improving Access and Quality of Primary Care in the 2nd Cycle (2013), carried out with Family Health Teams, with adherence to the Program in the period (n=10.213/100%); 90% (n=9.184) of the teams responded to participate in Permanent Health Education activities, with greater frequency in the Southeast, Northeast and South regions; the main Permanent Health Education activities reported were seminars, shows, workshops and discussion groups (n=8.243/80.71%) in addition to presential courses (n=7.808/76.45%). Of the options offered by the Ministry of Health, the least frequent was the Telemedicine University Network (n=475/4.65%); 87.62% (8.948). Family Health Teams had their Permanent Health Education demands met by management. The instrument presents data robustness and contemplates several aspects of management, including important elements of Permanent Health Education that can guide decision making and interfere with their own policies and programs in the services.

title: Productive Development Partnerships: an essay on the construction of strategic product lists

description: ABSTRACT This is an essay on the construction of strategic product lists for the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) eligible for the submission of proposals for Productive Development Partnerships (PDP). The objective of this study was to critically analyze the process of constructing these lists, reviewing the criteria used, the interaction currently existing with the evaluation of health technologies, the collaboration between decision makers and researchers or reference institutions, and the influence of the composition of the list on the outcome of the projects and reach of the objectives of the initiative. It was found that the use of scientific evidence and collaborative actions of researchers are reduced in decision making, and that the composition of the list has a great influence on the outcome of the PDP, and its construction is a key factor for the success of this initiative and the internalization of technologies. A suggestion for organizing the list-making work is the regimental definition of the use of an independent rapid response program organized between the government, the academy, and institutions involved in PDP approvals, so that the best scientific evidence is available to policy decision makers in the short term.

title: Effect of one time high dose “stoss therapy” of vitamin D on glucose homeostasis in high risk obese adolescents

description: ABSTRACT Objective To study the effect of using a one time high dose “stoss therapy” of vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol: VD2) on indices of insulin sensitivity {whole body sensitivity index: WBISI} and secretion {insulinogenic index: IGI} measured during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in obese adolescents with VDD (25 OHD; serum metabolite of vit D: &lt; 30 ng/dL). Subjects and methods In a randomized placebo controlled cross over design 20 obese adolescents with vitamin D deficiency (VDD) had baseline OGTT. Arm A received one time high dose 300,000 IU of ergocalciferol and Arm B received placebo. After 6 weeks the adolescents were reassigned to Arm A if they were in Arm B and vice versa. 25OHD, calcium, parathyroid hormone, comprehensive metabolic panel, urine calcium creatinine ratio were measured at each study visit. OGTTs to assess indices of sensitivity and secretion were done at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks respectively. Results Adolescents were obese and insulin resistant (mean ± SD: mean age = 15.1 ± 1.9 years; BMI: 32.7 ± 9.8; homeostatic model of insulin resistance: HOMA-IR: 4.2 ± 2.8). Stoss therapy with VD2 increased 25OHD from baseline (16.7 ± 2.9 to 19.5 ± 4.5; p = 0.0029) when compared to the placebo. WBISI (2.8 ± 1.9) showed a trend towards improvement in Rx group (p = 0.0577) after adjustment for covariates. IGI (3 ± 2.2) showed an improvement in both Rx and placebo groups. Conclusions Our study demonstrated that using a high dose of VD2 (300,000 IU) did not have any beneficial effect on insulin sensitivity (whole body sensitivity index {WBISI}) and secretory indices (insulinogenic index {IGI}) in obese adolescents. High dose “stoss therapy” of VD2 did not appear to have any beneficial effect on glucose homeostasis on obese adolescents.
