title: Cardiac Evaluation in the Acute Phase of Chagas’ Disease with Post-Treatment Evolution in Patients Attended in the State of Amazonas, Brazil

description: Abstract Background: In the past two decades, a new epidemiological profile of Chagas’ disease (CD) has been registered in the Brazilian Amazon where oral transmission has been indicated as responsible for the increase of acute cases. In the Amazonas state, five outbreaks of acute CD have been registered since 2004. The cardiac manifestations in these cases may be characterized by diffuse myocarditis, with alteration in the electrocardiogram (ECG) and transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE). Objective: To perform a cardiac evaluation in autochthonous patients in the acute phase and at least one year after submitted to treatment for acute CD and evaluate the demographic variables associated with the presence of cardiac alterations. Methods: We evaluated patients diagnosed with acute CD through direct parasitological or serological (IgM) methods from 2007 to 2015. These patients were treated with benznidazole and underwent ECG and TTE before and after treatment. We assumed a confidence interval of 95% (CI 95%, p &lt; 0.05) for all variables analyzed. Results: We observed 63 cases of an acute CD in which oral transmission corresponded to 75%. Cardiac alterations were found in 33% of the cases, with a greater frequency of ventricular repolarization alteration (13%), followed by pericardial effusion (10%) and right bundle branch block and left anterior fascicular block (2%). The follow-up occurred in 48 patients with ECG and 25 with TTE for a mean period of 15.5 ± 4.1 months after treatment. Of these, 8% presented normalization of the cardiac alterations in ECG, 62.5% remained with the normal exams. All of the patients presented normal results in TTE in the post-treatment period. As for the demographic variables, isolated cases presented more cardiac alterations than outbreaks (p = 0.044) as well as cases from Central Amazonas mesoregion (p = 0.020). Conclusions: Although cardiac alterations have not been frequent in most of the studied population, a continuous evaluation of the clinical-epidemiological dynamics of the disease in the region is necessary in order to establish preventive measures.

title: Municipal spending on primary health care in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil: an ecological study

description: The study’s objective was to explore the association between the components of fixed and variable Minimum Basic Care (Portuguese: PAB), sociodemographic factors, epidemiological profile, and municipal spending in primary health care in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. An ecological study in 496 municipalities (counties) in the state was carried out. Mean variable municipal spending from 2011 to 2013 from the financial block of primary health care, representing the actual spending with federal budget transfers, was based on data from the Management Report of the Strategic Management Support Room, and multiple linear regression was used. To adjust the model, variables were grouped in five blocks according to the study’s objective. Mean spending on primary health care was BRL 81.20 (SD ± 35.50) per inhabitant-year. The block of variables comprising the fixed PAB component explained 39% (R2 = 0.39) of the variability in spending between municipalities, while for the variable PAB block, R2 was 0.82, in the sociodemographic block, R2 was 0.26, in the structure-performance block R2 was 0.46, and in the epidemiological profile block the R2 was 0.15. In the final model, the variable associated with the highest estimated values for spending on primary health care was the rate of family health teams. Municipalities with 135 to 41 teams per 100,000 inhabitant-years spend BRL 51.00 more per capita than municipalities with zero to 0 to 8 teams. Spending on primary health care appears to be linked more to federal induction than to factors associated with health care demand, such as the demographic and epidemiological profile of the municipalities in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.

title: Challenges of inter-sector collaboration in public policies: the dilemma between nutritional supplementation and the promotion of healthy eating in schools

description: Abstract: The study aimed to identify and analyze the development of inter-sector arrangements between the health and education sectors in the framework of the implementation of the NutriSUS strategy in a municipality (county) in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The study was conducted from March 2015 to March 2017 and used policy analysis as the analytical reference, with the following analytical dimensions: operational design; ideas on the nutritional supplementation; institutional context; and inter-sector collaboration. Semi-structured interviews were held with health professionals and administrators and schoolteachers and school system administrators at the three levels of government, in addition to document analysis. The NutriSUS strategy was implemented in five preschool units and required establishing agreements between health professionals and teachers that were affected by the following: the design based on the preventive approach to diseases with emphasis on action by the health sector; mechanisms of induction and convergence of interests between the federal and local governments; management mechanisms and institutional spaces including different stages in the implementation process, that is, the NutriSUS management centered in the health sector but operationalized in the school system; and the intersection between NutriSUS and the National School Food Program which increased the visibility of competing concepts concerning supplementation as a preventive strategy and different approaches to promote healthy eating. Thus, the factors identified by the study challenge the development of inter-sector collaboration oriented by shared processes in the entire chain of implementation of inter-sector programs for schools.

title: Microcephaly and family dynamics: fathers’ perceptions of their children’s disability

description: Abstract: The family is a key pillar in an individual’s psychological life, influencing behavior patterns, feelings of social belonging, and emotional health. The family structure can be shaken by the arrival of an infant with microcephaly associated with the Zika virus, defined in newborn boys as head circumference less than or equal to 31.9cm and in newborn girls as less than or equal to 31.5cm. The study analyzes the impact of an infant’s diagnosis of microcephaly on the paternal function. Interviews were held with five fathers of children with microcephaly from three communities in rural Paraíba State, Brazil. The instruments were a questionnaire and semi-structured interview that was taped and submitted to thematic and categorial analysis. All five fathers were participating in the routine care of their children, with this involvement “conditioned” by their work as well as by the disability’s severity. Some aspects were common to all five fathers, such as their reaction to the diagnosis and their concerns.

title: Evidences of the association between individual attributes and bullying: a cross-sectional study with adolescents from Florianópolis, Santa Catarina State, Brazil

description: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of bullying and to verify the association between nutritional status, demographic and socioeconomic factors, and individual attributes among schoolchildren aged from 11 to 14 years. This is cross-sectional study with a probabilistic sample of 975 adolescents attending public and private schools in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina State, Brazil. Bullying was investigated with a self-administered questionnaire by applying Item Response Theory and dichotomized according to victimization or not. Body mass index (BMI) was classified according to the World Health Organization criteria. Data such as age, school type and location, household income, as well as the education background of the parents were collected by a questionnaire given to the parents. Crude and adjusted analyses were performed using logistic regression. The prevalence of victims of bullying and of overweight/obese adolescents was 13.2% and 29%, respectively. No association was found between bullying and age, sex, school type, mother’s education, household income, and overweight/obesity. The crude analysis model indicated that overweight/obese adolescents and those with individual attributes (fat, thin, tall, short, good-looking, ugly, from a different ethnic background, rich, poor, with a disability and/or other) had a greater chance of being bullied. In the analysis model adjusted by household income and stratified by sex, boys were discriminated for being fat, good-looking, ugly, or for having a disability, while girls were discriminated for being fat, tall, short, ugly, rich, poor, among other individual attributes.

title: The Popular Support to Monarchy in the Context of Liberal Revolutions: Brazil and Portugal (1820-1834)

description: Abstract The aim of this article is to discuss the use of popular royalism as a category to study popular support for kings, both in Brazil and Portugal, in the context of the crisis of modern empires in the 1820s and 1830s. The purpose is to show how the support of Indians, mixed race people, and slaves for monarchies in the New World, as well as the support of poor peasants and uprooted people in the former metropolis, do not seem to correspond to the current historiographical interpretation of them as naive, pre-political or fanatic adherents to monarchs. On the contrary, the popular support for kings might represent the possibility of enlarging the gains of the subaltern groups. The Luso-Brazilian case is peculiar because both the counterrevolution, represented by D. Miguel, and liberalism, represented by D. Pedro, had broad popular support. In Brazil, the figure of the first emperor, which had been associated with the Old Regime by his political enemies, was appropriated by the underclass in their struggle for freedom. Likewise, there were also indications of support for Prince, later King D. Miguel, in some Brazilian provinces. In Portugal, although broad popular support for Miguelism can be partly attributed to the repressive nature of the regime, the lower classes were able to take advantage of the contradictions of a monarch who lacked internal and external legitimacy in order to achieve their interests.

title: Evaluation of Preeclampsia Results after Use of Metformin in Gestation: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

description: Abstract Objective Does the use of metformin have an influence on the outcomes of preeclampsia (PE)? Sources of Data The descriptors pregnancy, metformin, treatment, and preeclampsia associated with the Boolean operators AND and OR were found in the MEDLINE, LILACS, Embase and Cochrane databases. A flowchart with exclusion criteria and inclusion strategy using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol, and eligibility criteria was used. Data were extracted regarding the type of study, the applied dosage, treatment time, segment, bias risks, and the Patient, Intervention, Comparison and Outcome (PICO) strategy to identify the quality of the study. Selection of Studies Total number of journals in the initial search (n= 824); exclusions from repeated articles on different search engines (n= 253); exclusions after reading the titles, when the title had no correlations with the proposed theme (n= 164); exclusions due to incompatibility with the criteria established in the methodological analysis (n= 185), exclusion of articles with lower correlation with the objective of the present study (n= 187); and final bibliographic selection (n= 35). Data Collection At first, a systematic review of the literature was performed. Subsequently, from the main selection, randomized and non-randomized trials with metformin that presented their results in absolute and relative numbers of PE outcomes were selected. The variables were treated statistically in the meta-analysis with the Review Manager software (RevMan), version 5.3. Copenhagen: Nordic Cochrane Centre, The Cochrane Collaboration. Denmark in the Hovedistaden region. Synthesis of Data The study showed that metmorfin presented greater preventive effects for pregnancy-induced hypertension and was less effective for PE. Conclusion Metformin may gain place in preventive treatments for PE, once the dosages, the gestational age, and treatment time are particularly evaluated. A methodological strategy with an improved perspective of innovative and/or carefully progressive dosages during pregnancy to avoid side effects and the possibility of maternal-fetal risks is suggested.

title: Corn stalk integrity is improved by fungicide combinations containing carboxamide

description: ABSTRACT Conservation of vegetative organs, as leaves and stalks, is essential to achieve high maize production. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of leaf area maintenance due to fungicides spraying on stalk integrity, its chemical composition and grain yield. The experiment was conducted in Uberlândia - MG, during the second season of 2016. The experiment design was a randomized complete block with six replications and six treatments, representing combinations of fungicides belonging to carboxamide, strobilurin, triazole, and dithiocarbamate chemical groups, and the check treatment (without fungicides). The assessed traits were leaf green area, wet and dry stalk density, stalk breaking strength and height, stalk lignin and cellulose percentage, stalk dry matter, stalk lignin and cellulose content per hectare and grain yield. Treatments containing fungicides, especially the ones containing carboxamide, resulted in higher leaf green area and stalk density. Application of fungicides also increased stalk breaking strength and height; however, no effect was observed on stalk lignin and cellulose percentage. Grain yield, stalk dry matter production, and stalk lignin and cellulose contents per hectare were enhanced by fungicide application, with higher improvements in plants treated with carboxamide. Application of fungicides, mainly when combined with carboxamides, promotes higher maintenance of leaf green area, which leads to improved stalk integrity, higher grain yield, and higher straw production.
