title: Applicability of the Three Delays Model in the context of maternal mortality: integrative review

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this review is to summarize evidence available in the scientific literature from the applicability of the Three Delays Model in the context of maternal mortality in terms of causal factors and interventional measures. It is an integrative literature review, carried out with no time frame, in seven databases, with the descriptors Maternal Mortality, Pregnancy Complications, Maternal Death and the keyword Three Delays Model. 15 studies were selected for analysis. The first delay stood out as a determinant of maternal deaths, with the refusal to seek obstetric care in the health institution an initiative of the woman or family members. In the second delay, geographic factors and poor road infrastructure made access to health services difficult. In the third delay, the care conditions in the health institutions implied a reduced quality of care. The applicability of the model makes it possible to demonstrate the barriers faced by women in the search for obstetric care and to visualize contexts that need interventional actions to face the problem.

title: Antifungal effect of essential oils on control of phytopathogens in stored soybean seeds

description: ABSTRACT Soybean is subject to occurrences of pathogens transmitted by seeds, requiring phytosanitary treatment, however, it can be toxic to humans and the environment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of essential oils of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) and eucalyptus (Corymbia citriodora) on the control of phytopathogenic fungi in stored soybean seeds. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design, using a 2 × 5 factorial arrangement consisted of seeds with and without fungal inoculation (Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium rubens) and five seed treatments (three essential oils, positive control, and negative control), with four replicates. Rosemary and eucalyptus essential oils and their combination were applied to soybean seeds at the rate of 4 mL kg-1, at a concentration of 700 µL mL-1. Distilled water with 2% Tween® 80 was used as negative control, and the commercial fungicide Vitavax-Thiram® 200SC was used as positive control, according to the manufacturers’ recommendations. The R. officinalis essential oil was efficient in the control of Penicillium sp. in stored soybean seeds and showed a similar effect to the positive control. The C. citriodora essential oil reduced the incidence of Aspergillus sp. Therefore, these essential oils have potential to be used as an alternative control of soybean seed pathogens.

title: Comparative analysis between effective gain and functional gain in bone-anchored hearing aid users

description: Abstract The cases of ear malformations, conductive, mixed, and single-sided deafness hearing loss are candidates for surgery and use of Bone-Anchored Hearing Aids (BAHA). Commonly, the literature highlights two procedures to assess the benefits and characteristics of amplification in users: functional gain (FG) and effective gain (EG). Objective Estimate and compare the EG and the FG to evaluate the benefits obtained by users of BAHA and, later, to compare tests of speech perception in silence and in noise. Methodology The sample (n=79) was divided into four groups, implanted from February 2014 to February 2021. The following tests were analyzed: pure-tone audiometry by air and bone; research of audiometric thresholds in free field; speech perception tests in silence and in noise. Results EG presented lower values than FG in all frequencies. The positive results of the speech perception tests were correlated with worse FG values. EG is the best method for evaluation, as it allows a proper comparison between devices, as well as a comparison with the prescription of validated rules. Conclusions A better evaluation of results was observed on the EG values, indicating that it is a relevant method to assess auditory performance. In addition, the FG results were incompatible with the benefits obtained in the speech perception tests, showing that it is not a reliable tool for monitoring the results with the use of BAHA.

title: Transthoracic Color Doppler Ultrasound-Guided Grooved Negative Pressure Drainage Tube Implantation in Pericardial Effusion After Cardiac Surgery

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: Pericardial effusion is a common complication without a standard postoperative effusion treatment after cardiac surgery. The grooved negative pressure drainage tube has many advantages as the emerging alternative for drainage of pericardial effusion, such as it changes the structure of the traditional side hole, uses the capillary function to ensure drainage smooth, etc. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of transthoracic color Doppler ultrasound-guided grooved negative pressure drainage tube implantation in pericardial effusion after cardiac surgery. Methods: All patients with pericardial effusion after cardiac surgery who underwent transthoracic color Doppler ultrasound-guided grooved negative pressure drainage tube implantation between January 2019 and December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Treatment results (including clinical symptoms, effusion volume, color Doppler ultrasonography, and computed tomography scan) were investigated to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of this method. Results: A total of 20 patients successfully underwent transthoracic color Doppler ultrasound-guided grooved negative pressure drainage tube implantation. After the operation, their symptoms (chest tightness, shortness of breath, etc.) were all relieved, and dark red or light red drainage fluid (&gt; 200 ml) appeared in the newly placed drainage bottle. Color Doppler ultrasonography showed that the volume of pericardial effusion decreased significantly. Conclusion: The transthoracic color Doppler ultrasound-guided grooved negative pressure drainage tube is a safe and effective method for the treatment of postoperative pericardial effusion with less trauma, faster recovery, shorter in-hospital stay, and fewer complications.

title: Structural adjustment of Schwartzia brasiliensis (Marcgraviaceae) in two restinga formations

description: Abstract This study investigated the foliar plasticity in Schwartzia brasiliensis in restinga formations (shrub and shrub-tree restinga) in southern Brazil. In each area, 10 individuals were selected and leaves in sunlight were collected for an analysis of functional leaf traits, including: fresh and dry leaf mass, leaf area, specific leaf area, succulence, stem diameter, plant height and tissue thickness. Environmental variables were measured considering soil mineral nutrition, water availability and photosynthetically active radiation. Phenotypic plasticity index was calculated for studied attribute. We compared means with a Student’s t-test and the weight of environmental variables with a PCA. Results showed that the main leaf traits that differentiated the populations were leaf dry mass, specific leaf area, lamina thickness and plant height, while the main predictor environmental variables were gravimetric humidity, solar radiation, soil CEC, phosphorus content and salinity. In the shrub restinga, there is greater investment in mechanical support as a water saving strategy due to greater exposure to solar radiation. In the shrub-tree restinga, there is greater investment in photosynthetic production, since the shade provided by the treetops of other species attenuates the radiation effect. Despite the low plastic potential, the populations present structural adjustments that respond to the environmental heterogeneity.

title: Access for those who want or for those who can? Equity in the use of doctor’s appointments in Portugal based on the HIS 2019

description: Abstract Horizontal equity in the use of healthcare implies equal use for equal needs, regardless of other factors - be they predisposing or enabling (Andersen’s model). This study aimed to assess equity in the use of doctor’s appointments in Portugal in 2019, comparing the results with those obtained in a previous study, based on data from 2014. Data were retrieved from the Health Interview Survey 2019 (HIS 2019). Healthcare is measured by the number of doctor’s appointments. Our study adopted the Negative Binomial Model to assess the factors affecting use. The concentration index was calculated to quantify income-related inequality/inequity. Compared to 2014, the effects of self-assessed health, limitations in daily living activities, and longstanding illnesses are more pronounced, and the region, income, household type and marital status are significant for appointments scheduled with a General Practitioner. In the case of appointments with specialists, health insurance lost statistical significance and the effect of education dropped; however, income became significant. The inequity index is not significant for appointments scheduled with a General Practitioner, as in 2014, but the (significant) value of this index increased for appointments with other specialists.

title: Good tolerance and benefits should make early exercises a routine in patients with acute brain injury

description: Abstract Introduction: The negative impact of prolonged immobilization results a physical decline during hospitalization in patients with acute brain injury. Objective: To investigate the benefits of early exercises on the mobility of patients with acute brain injury assisted at an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Methods: This is a prospective, single-blind, controlled clinical trial. A total of 303 patients were assessed. Due to eligibility criteria, exercise protocol was applied in 58 participants, 32 with brain injury caused by traumatic event and 26 with brain injury caused by cerebrovascular event. Exercise began 24 hours after patients’ admission at the ICU. Participants were submitted to passive and active mobilization protocols, performed according to level of sedation, consciousness and collaboration. Statistical analysis was conducted with repeated measures analysis of variance. Significance was set at 5%. Results: The group of patients with traumatic brain injuries was younger (p = 0.001) and with more men (p = 0.025) than the group of patients with clinical events. Most exercise sessions were performed in sedated patients. By the end of the protocol, participants with traumatic and clinical brain injury were able to do sitting and standing exercises. Both groups were similar on ICU discharge (p = 0.290). The clinical group presented better improvement on level of consciousness than the traumatic group (p = 0.005). Conclusion: Participants with an acute brain injury presented at the time of discharge from the ICU good mobility and improvement in the level of consciousness.
