title: Tuberculosis: knowledge and adherence to prophylactic measures in contact individuals of the city of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil

description: Abstract Background For the control of tuberculosis, it is essential to interrupt its chain of transmission. The Ministry of Health recommends 100% of contacts being examined and initiated treatment of the Latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. In this sense, the knowledge about the disease and adherence to prophylaxis by these contacts are factors that can interfere in the adequate control of tuberculosis. Objective To describe the knowledge of the contacts of tuberculosis patients on the disease and their adherence to prophylactic measures in the Sanitary District II in Recife / PE. Method A quantitative and descriptive study was carried out using standardized questionnaires, applied to 140 contacts of tuberculosis notified from January to December 2015. Data analysis carried out through simple frequencies. Results Among the interviewees, 75.7% were female, 55% brown, with low levels of schooling and family income; of these 84.3% believe that tuberculosis is serious, 48.6% consider that transmission is done by sharing utensils. Only 55% were invited to be examined and 76% reported not knowing they should go to the consultation or the importance of these. Conclusion The contacts of tuberculosis have poor knowledge about the disease, low adherence to primary health care and the active search for contacts is still inefficient.

title: Personality differences and COVID-19: are extroversion and conscientiousness personality traits associated with engagement with containment measures?

description: Abstract Introduction In December 2019, an outbreak of the novel coronavirus, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) probably occurred in Wuhan, China. By March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) had declared a pandemic. Containment measures such as social distancing and hand hygiene were recommended. In this study, we start from the hypothesis that engaging with containment measures in a pandemic situation should be more comfortable for some people than for other people. Thus, individual differences should be associated with engagement with containment measures. Objective To investigate to what extent two personality traits, extroversion and conscientiousness, are associated with engagement with two containment measures (social distancing and handwashing). Methods The sample consisted of 715 Brazilian adults aged 18-78 years, who answered the Big Five Inventory 2 Short (BFI-2-S) and factors from the Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory 2 (IDCP-2). Results Higher scores for extroversion were associated with lower means for social distancing (p &lt; 0.001) and higher scores for conscientiousness were associated with higher means for social distancing and handwashing (p &lt; 0.05). Conclusion The findings indicate the importance of acknowledging extroversion and conscientiousness traits as relevant to people’s engagement with the measures recommended for COVID-19 containment.

title: Air quality biomonitoring of trace elements in the metropolitan area of Huancayo, Peru using transplanted Tillandsia capillaris as a biomonitor

description: Abstract The air quality and distribution of trace elements in a metropolitan area of the Peruvian Andes were evaluated using transplanted epiphytic Tillandsia capillaris as biomonitors. Biomonitors were collected from the non-contaminated area and exposed to five sites with different types of contamination for three months in 2017. After exposure, the content of twenty-one elements were determined by ICP-MS analysis. Datasets were evaluated by one-way ANOVA, exposed-to-baseline (EB), hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA). Results showed significant differences among sampling sites for several elements. According to EF ratios for Ba, Cr, Cu, Pb, Sb, and Zn EB ratios value greater than 1.75 were found around urban areas, indicating anthropogenic influence, which can be attributed to vehicular sources. The highest values of As and Cd were found in areas of agricultural practices, therefore their presence could be related to the employment of agrochemicals (pesticides, herbicides, and phosphate fertilizers). HCA shows that most elements come from vehicular sources and lower from agricultural and natural sources.

title: Breast cancer control in São Paulo state: evaluation of mammogram screening

description: Abstract Background Breast cancer is the most incident, prevalent and the leading cause of female cancer death worldwide. In Brazil is the most commonly diagnosed female cancer, except in the North region. Objective To evaluate coverage, quality and adequacy to the technical guidelines of breast cancer control actions indicators in women residing in the Metropolitan Region (MR) or in the Inland Towns of São Paulo, Brazil, between 2010 and 2012. Method Descriptive study based on SISMAMA data from 2010 to 2012 was carried out. Results MR did not reach the recommended target for the mammography ratio in 2011 and 2012, which presented a considerable percentage of mammogram beyond the recommended age range, increased the waiting time for access to diagnostic mammography and for obtain this result, and reduced the capacity diagnostic confirmation for lesions suspected of malignancy during the triennium. Inland towns achieved the recommended target for the mammography ratio over the period and improved biopsy coverage in 2012. Conclusion The results highlighted requirement for adjustments in the screening actions in the state of São Paulo that allow the practice of early detection actions more effective, reinforce the relevance of the available Information Systems and their continuous improvement, as well as contribute to stimulate the evaluation practice and of the reviewing of the National Cancer Prevention and Control Policy.

title: The extension of ‘agro’ and toxic: the health and environmental in indigenous land Marãiwatsédé, Mato Grosso

description: Abstract Background Agricultural crops is directly relation to the use of pesticides, pollution the environment and people mainly from agricultural regions. The state of Mato Grosso, the indigenous land (IL) Marãiwatsédé, Xavante territory was occupied since 1950 by non-indigenous that environmental transformed by agricultural and farming until 2012. When the Xavante returns to Marãiwatsédé, denunciation of infant deaths by suspected pesticides water contamination motivated this study. Objective To verify the residues of pesticides in the water and to discuss a dynamic of insertion of agriculture in the Marãiwatsédé and region. Method It was quantified a planted area, pesticide consumption, realized chemical analysis in water and river sediment, and character environment this IL and surroundings. Results Annually increase planted area in the region Marãiwatsédé with increase pesticide consumption. It was detected permethrin residue in the water at concentration to 0.19 μg/L. There were crops in activity on the edge of IL. Conclusion The permethrin found in water was levels were lower than the limit established by Brazilian legislation but like to Europe legislation, more restrictive. However, this crops in activity the edge Marãiwatsédé are continuous emission sources of pesticides, which allows new pollutions.

title: Factors associated with non-emergency use of Emergency Care Units: a multilevel approach

description: Abstract Background Studies in Brazil and in several countries indicate that emergency services are often used as gateways to health systems, overburdening them and impacting on the quality of service provided to the population. However, little is known about this phenomenon in the Emergency Care Units (EUCs) of our country. Objective To investigate the variables associated with the inadequate use of two EUCs in a large municipality. Method A cross-sectional study was carried out with a sample of 756 individuals that analyzed individual, contextual and service-related variables associated with the inappropriate use of EUCs through a hierarchical multiple logistic regression model. Results The final regression model showed that individuals who had self-perceived their condition as an emergency and whose age was equal to or older than 60 years presented high odds to seek these services for non-urgent reasons. Conclusions Individual variables were associated with non-urgent use of the ECUs. Future studies of a qualitative nature may help to understand the reasons for the inadequate use of these services by these individuals.

title: Association between the occurrence of pain and caregivers overload on main and the elderly independence level in daily life activities: cross sectional study

description: Abstract Background Caring for an elderly is often an arduous task, and the care demands go beyond the caregiver's capacity may cause overload and pain. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the association between independence level of the elderly in daily life activities and the occurrence of pain and overload your primary caregiver. Method The study included 14 elderly residents in adscript territory of health units of the North Zone-Axis Baltazar area Baltazar North axis of the city Porto Alegre and their primary caregivers, in home visits, answered questions regarding the socioeconomic profile, the occurrence of pain (Nordic questionnaire and visual analog pain scale), the caregiver burden (Inventory caregiver overload) and the level of independence of the elderly (Katz index). Results The average age of the elderly is 82.1 years (± 6.9) and caregivers, 65.9 years (± 11.3). Of the 14 elderly, 28.6% were classified as independent, 50% as having moderate dependence and 21.4% as very dependent. There was strong inverse correlation between the old level of independence and caregiver burden (ρ = -0.619; p = 0.018). When evaluating areas of the inventory separately overload time dependent (ρ = -0.866; p = 0.000) and over the personal life (ρ = -0.708; p = 0.005) correlated to the level of independence of the elderly. Conclusion The study showed that the more independent for the elderly, the lower the burden attributed to the caregiver.

title: Influence of food consumption and physical activity practice in the prevalence of overweight/obesity in school adolescents

description: Abstract Background adolescence is defined by the World Health Organization, as the age group of 10 to 19 years old, because it is there, when different changes are observed. Objective to analyze the existence of association between overweight/obesity and risk factors in school adolescents. Method this is a cross-study, which was performed in high schools belonging to the state public network, in the city of Sobral, Ceará, with a sample of 572 young students. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, IPAQ, and SISVAN food consumption markers. In the unadjusted analysis, the Poisson regression was used, using the chi-square test of Wald with the variables presenting a descriptive level p&lt;0.20 as input criterion, and in the final multiple regression model of Poisson, only the significant variables (p&lt;0,05). Results in the final model, after performing Poisson multiple regression, adolescent age (p=0.002; CI 95%=0.099; 0.591; RP=4.54) and inappropriate consumption of food with high energy density (p=0.006; CI 95%=0.369; 0.848; RP=1.79) were configured statistically significant as risk factors. Conclusion The findings of this research indicated that both young age and inadequate food consumption are risk factors for the development of overweight / obesity. This finding proves that the development of overweight / obesity is diverse and complex.
