title: Clustering and combining pattern of metabolic syndrome components in a rural Brazilian adult population

description: CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Metabolic syndrome is characterized by clustering of cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, glucose intolerance and arterial hypertension. The aim of this study was to estimate the probability of clustering and the combination pattern of three or more metabolic syndrome components in a rural Brazilian adult population. DESIGN AND SETTING This was a cross-sectional study conducted in two rural communities located in the Jequitinhonha Valley, Minas Gerais, Brazil. METHODS The sample was composed of 534 adults (both sexes). Waist circumference, blood pressure and demographic, lifestyle and biochemical characteristics were assessed. The prevalences of metabolic syndrome and its components were estimated using the definitions of the National Cholesterol Education Program – Adult Treatment Panel III. A binomial distribution equation was used to evaluate the probability of clustering of metabolic syndrome components. The statistical significance level was set at 5% (P &lt; 0.05). RESULTS Metabolic syndrome was more frequent among women (23.3%) than among men (6.5%). Clustering of three or more metabolic syndrome components was greater than expected by chance. The commonest combinations of three metabolic syndrome components were: hypertriglyceridemia + low levels of HDL-c + arterial hypertension and abdominal obesity + low levels of HDL-c + arterial hypertension; and of four metabolic syndrome components: abdominal obesity + hypertriglyceridemia + low levels of HDL-c + arterial hypertension. CONCLUSION The population studied presented high prevalence of metabolic syndrome among women and clustering of its components greater than expected by chance, suggesting that the combination pattern was non-random.

title: Federal spending on social policies and the social determinants of health: where are we going?

description: ABSTRACT Ensuring the highest possible level of health for the population depends on public investments in social policies, since health is determined by factors related to the conditions in which people live and work, the so-called Social Determinants of Health (SDH). Thus, this article aims to quantify Brazil's federal spending on sectoral social policies in the last decade in order to analyze its recent trajectory in a context of economic crisis and fiscal austerity, and to discuss the risk of worsening the health status of the population. To this end, financial data as from the federal executive branch retrieved from Siga Brasil system were used. The results show a reduction in spending on seven of the ten policies analyzed between 2013 and 2019. There was an increase in spending for policies linked to social security, which are related to constitutionally registered rights, with a tradition of enforcing compliance through the justice system. These findings reveal that, despite the increase in expenditure for these policies, other important policies carried out within SDH were de-financed, making it difficult to achieve progress in the health condition of the population, while putting them at risk of setback.

title: Factors associated with malnutrition in institutionalized elderly

description: This literature review article aims to examine the scientific evidence that depict the associated factors with malnutrition in institutionalized elderly. The search for articles was conducted in the databases LILACS, MEDLINE and IBECS, including publications for the period 2000 to November 2012. The articles were also subjected to two assessment tools in order to verify the methodological quality of studies. The results showed that psychological factors (depression and dementia) and functional (dependence) were the main aspects related to malnutrition, since institutionalization fosters isolation and physical and mental inactivity, which may impair the quality of life of the elderly. Although malnutrition is associated with increased of morbidity and mortality, in general, it is not always assessed in institutions. Considering the specificities of the elderly segment, it is necessary to conduct multidimensional assessments of health status of the elderly to enable more effective and comprehensive interventions.

title: Reemergence of human malaria in Atlantic Forest of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

description: Unforeseen Plasmodium infections in the Atlantic Forest of Brazilian Extra-Amazonian region could jeopardise malaria elimination. A human malaria case was registered in Três Forquilhas, in the Atlantic Forest biome of Rio Grande do Sul, after a 45 years’ time-lapsed without any malaria autochthonous notification in this southern Brazilian state. This finding represents the expansion of the malaria distribution areas in Brazil and the southernmost human malaria case record in South America in this decade. The coexistence of the bromeliad-breeding vector Anopheles (Kerteszia) cruzii and non-human primates in the Atlantic Forest regularly visited by the patient claimed for the zoonotic origin of this infection. The reemergence of Atlantic Forest human malaria in Rio Grande do Sul was also discussed.

title: Immune disease risk variants regulate gene expression dynamics during CD4+ T cell activation

description: During activation, T cells undergo extensive changes in gene expression which shape the properties of cells to exert their effector function. Therefore, understanding the genetic regulation of gene expression during T cell activation provides essential insights into how genetic variants influence the response to infections and immune diseases. We generated a single-cell map of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) across a T cell activation time-course. We profiled 655,349 CD4+ naive and memory T cells, capturing transcriptional states of unstimulated cells and three time points of cell activation in 119 healthy individuals. We identified 38 cell clusters, including stable clusters such as central and effector memory T cells and transient clusters that were only present at individual time points of activation, such as interferon-responding cells. We mapped eQTLs using a T cell activation trajectory and identified 6,407 eQTL genes, of which a third (2,265 genes) were dynamically regulated during T cell activation. We integrated this information with GWAS variants for immune-mediated diseases and observed 127 colocalizations, with significant enrichment in dynamic eQTLs. Immune disease loci colocalized with genes that are involved in the regulation of T cell activation, and genes with similar functions tended to be perturbed in the same direction by disease risk alleles. Our results emphasize the importance of mapping context-specific gene expression regulation, provide insights into the mechanisms of genetic susceptibility of immune diseases, and help prioritize new therapeutic targets. This dataset comprises of summary stats for eQTLs identified in the study (parquet files) and the ones which passed significance threshold (tensor_out.tar.gz archive). Files are described by cell subset (CD4 Naive, CD 4 Memory, TEMRA, TCM, etc.), time since activation (16h, 4h, 5days) as described in the publication (preprint https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.12.06.470953)

title: Hypostomus hermanni redescription and a new species of Hypostomus (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) from Upper Paraná River basin, Brazil

description: Abstract A redescription of Hypostomus hermanni is presented herein along with the description of a new species of Hypostomus, which is apparently endemic to the Ivaí River basin, a tributary of the Upper Paraná River basin, Brazil. Hypostomus hermanni is diagnosed from congeners mainly by having: usually large black blotches on body and fins; absence of keels on compound pterotic, on pre-dorsal plates, and on lateral series of bony plates; by having parieto-supraoccipital and predorsal region flat; and by having less than 46 teeth per each premaxilla or dentary ramus. The new species is distinguished from congeners mainly for lacking conspicuous blotches, parieto-supraoccipital non-carinate, and villiform bicuspid teeth.
