title: Dysphagia in patients with moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea

description: Abstract Introduction There is evidence that trauma caused by snoring in the pharynx could result in dysphagia in patients with obstructive sleep apnea, but the literature is still scarce to define the factors associated with the presence of dysphagia in these patients. Objectives To analyze the occurrence of dysphagia and its clinical and polysomnographic features in patients with moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea, in addition to verifying the impact of dysphagia on the quality of life of these patients. Methods Seventy patients with moderate or severe apnea (apnea and hypopnea index - AHI &gt; 15/hour) were selected. The patients underwent a sleep questionnaire, a quality of life in dysphagia questionnaire and a fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing. Results A total of 70 patients were included in the study, of which 49 were men (70 %), with a mean age of 48.9 years. The fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing was altered in 27.3 % and the most frequent alteration was the premature oral leakage with fluid. Comparing the groups with and without dysphagia, the female gender was the only clinical parameter that showed a trend of statistical significance in the group with dysphagia (p = 0.069). There was no statistical difference regarding the polysomnographic features and in the global quality of life score in dysphagia in the comparison between the groups. Conclusions The presence of dysphagia in patients with moderate to severe apnea is frequent and subclinical, reinforcing the need to investigate this symptom in this group of patients. However, the presence of dysphagia did not result in worsening in patients' quality of life, suggesting that, although frequent, its effect is mild. There was no relevance regarding the association of clinical and polysomnographic parameters with the presence of dysphagia.

title: Primary adipsia and severe hypernatremia in a Pit Bull dog

description: ABSTRACT: Primary adipsia is a rare condition in which there is failure in the activation threshold of the hypothalamic osmoreceptors, leading to osmolality imbalance. Here, we reported the case of a Pit Bull dog with an altered level of consciousness (started after weaning) and adipsia. There was an increase in plasma osmolality (444 mOsm/kg), sodium (223.7 mg/dL), and chlorine (173 mg/dL) levels. Based on the suspicion of primary adipsia, water was administered via a nasogastric tube, with clinical improvement. The owner was instructed to supply water with food. Eight months after discharge, the dog returned with parvovirus and died. In the anatomopathological examination, no structural changes were observed in the central nervous system. To our knowledge, this is the first report of hypernatremia due to adipsia in a Pit Bull dog, showing that this is a differential diagnosis that should be considered in this breed.

title: Quality controlled, post-recovery dissolved, inorganic nitrate+nitrite concentration data [µmol l<sup>-1</sup>] from the eastern Agulhas Bank/Indian Ocean (South Africa) in March 2019

description: A quality-controlled dataset of dissolved, inorganic nitrate+nitrite (NOx) concentrations [µmol l<sup>-1</sup>] originating from the eastern Agulhas Bank/Indian Ocean (South Africa) in March 2019 is presented here. The data were collected by a microfluidic lab-on-chip nutrient sensor (s/n 118) that was integrated into a buoyancy driven Kongsberg M1 Seaglider (s/n sg550, doi.org/10/hgwf). The ocean glider was deployed on the 14th of March 2019 in a mean water depth of 90 m at a nominal location of 26.950°E, 33.633°S, 20 km southwest of Port Alfred. Recovery took place on the 31st of March 2019 at 24.932°E, 34.923°S by RS Ellen Khuzwayo (Noyon et al., 2019). The nutrient sensor was set to sample at various time and depth intervals during the glider's deployment. NOx concentration data were collected between the 14th and 27th March 2019. The location data (latitude, longitude, depth) originate from the ocean glider sensors and were derived by linear interpolation onto the nutrient sensor time stamps. These data were collected as part of the Sustainable Oceans, Livelihoods and food Security Through Increased Capacity in Ecosystem research in the Western Indian Ocean (SOLSTICE-WIO) project (Global Challenges Research Fund under NERC grant NE/P021050/1), which aimed to investigate ecosystem health and resilience in the face of climate change in the Western Indian Ocean.

title: COVID-19 in medium-sized municipalities in the 14 health macro-regions of Minas Gerais, Brazil

description: The present study focused on the scenario of confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the state of Minas Gerais (MG), Brazil, from March 2020 to March 2021. We evaluated the evolution of COVID-19 prevalence and death in one municipality from each of the 14 health macro-regions of MG state. Socio-demographic characteristics and variables related to the municipalities were analyzed. The raw dataset used in this study was freely sourced from the website Brasil.io. From the raw dataset, two time series were extracted: the cumulative confirmed cases of COVID-19 and cumulative death counts, and they were compared to the state data using a nowcasting approach. In order to make time series comparisons possible, all data was normalized per 100,000 inhabitants. When analyzing in light of colored wave code interventions initiated in August 2020 in MG, for the majority of the municipalities, there was an absence of clear influence on prevalence and deaths. The national holidays in the first semester of 2020 had a small impact on the COVID-19 prevalence of the municipalities, but the holidays in the second semester of 2020 and beginning of 2021 caused important impacts on COVID-19 prevalence. The low number of ICU beds in some municipalities contributed to the higher number of deaths. The analysis showed here is expected to contribute to the improvement of decision making of the MG government, as it opened a huge possibility to have the total macro-regions and state data analyzed.

title: Curricular changes from official documents in the training of physical education teachers in Uruguay in the 1960s

description: ABSTRACT The study addresses the tensions and borrowings between normalism and university in the 1960s in the training of physical education teachers at the Instituto Superior de Educación Física (ISEF) in Uruguay. The analysis focuses on the vision of the training from official documents. Among the sources analyzed are: the preliminary project and the study plan, the internal regulations and the entry regulations, all designed in 1966 as a result of an intervention by the conservative government of the time, and different curricular prescriptions, such as circulars, notes, letters and documents from the main references and authors in this training. The main curricular transformations of the decade are analyzed, since the normalism-university tension, as well as how the latter operated in the modes of configuration of physical education and in the education of the student bodies. It is asked about the continuities and ruptures that were established between this decade and the first two of this formation. What knowledge was part of the curriculum of this formation in the 1966 curriculum?

title: Computed tomography versus ultrasound/fine needle aspiration biopsy in differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules: a retrospective analysis

description: Abstract Introduction Ultrasound sonography provides a quick method for determining which nodule to sample for fine needle aspiration biopsy in thyroid nodules. On the other hand, the computed tomography examination is not restricted by echo attenuation and distinguishes between benign and malignant nodules. Objective To compare computed tomography examinations against ultrasound/fine needle aspiration biopsy in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules. Methods Data regarding computed tomography examinations, sonographic finding following fine needle aspiration biopsy, and tumor histology of 953 nodules from 698 patients who underwent thyroidectomy were collected and analyzed. The beneficial score for detection of the malignant tumor for each adopted modality was evaluated. Results Ultrasound images did not show a well-circumscribed solid mass in 89 nodules, and ultimately did not detect nodules in fine needle aspiration biopsies (false positive non-malignant nodules). Ultrasound images showed parenchymatous disease (false positive malignant nodules) in several nodules. Computed tomography examinations demonstrated higher difficulty in detection of malignant nodules of 1.0-2.0 cm size than ultrasound examination following fine needle aspiration biopsies; compared to tumor histological data, computed tomography examinations had a sensitivity of 0.879. Conclusion Computed tomography examinations are a more reliable method for differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules than ultrasound examinations followed by fine needle aspiration biopsy. Level of Evidence III.

title: Mathematical knowledge and overall practice in initial teacher education of early childhood teachers

description: ABSTRACT This paper presents an instrumental multiple-case study composed of two representative cases selected from a Mathematics Initial Teacher Education course. Data collected include concept maps, classroom observations, and interviews, which were analysed quantitatively and qualitatively. Differences in knowledge and practices were compared between pre-service early childhood teachers: one with greater content and pedagogical knowledge, and appropriate teaching practices; and another, with insufficient content and pedagogical knowledge, and repetitive mathematics activities. Findings from these two cases indicate a relationship among content, pedagogical knowledge, and good practice; and thus, support the existence of a dialogical and integrative relationship between knowledge and practice in teaching. Accordingly, the teacher practice dimension from the Mathematics Teaching Capability framework should play an important role in the initial teacher education of early childhood teachers.

title: Recyclable waste pickers: life and work in light of the social determinants of health

description: ABSTRACT Objectives: to know how the social determinants of health relate to the context of life and work of recyclable waste pickers. Methods: a qualitative study, derived from Convergent-Care Research, conducted with waste pickers from two recycling associations in the South of Brazil. We used systematic participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and convergence groups. The analysis followed the steps of Seizure, Synthesis, Theorization, and Transfer. Results: advanced age, precarious self-care, gender inequalities, violence, and family conflicts have shown to be elements linked to the individual, behavioral, and social network determinants. Determinants connected to living and working conditions were related to poor access to education and formal work, as well as to the daily occupational risks in recycling. The lack of labor rights and public policies represented macro-determinants. Final Considerations: social and economic deficiencies are potentiated in the context of life and work of waste pickers, strongly related to their determinants.
