title: Scorpions (Arachnida, Scorpiones) from the state of Acre, southwestern Brazilian Amazon

description: ABSTRACT Although Brazil has one of the highest scorpion diversities worldwide, the scorpion fauna of the Amazon region remains relatively poorly described. In this study, we updated the list of scorpion species from the state of Acre, in the southwestern Brazilian Amazon, based on a revision of records contained in Brazilian arachnid collections and a survey of the relevant literature. We recorded the occurrence of seven scorpion species belonging to two families (Buthidae and Chactidae) among which we report three new records (Ananteris sp., Tityus (Tityus) gasci, and Chactopsis cf. insignis) for Acre. The results presented herein make an important contribution to the knowledge on scorpion diversity in the Amazonian forests of Acre.

title: Adolescents users of mental health services: assessment of the perception of improvement with treatment Assessment of perceived improvement

description: ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the change perceived by adolescents, who are users of a specialized outpatient mental health service for children and adolescents. Methods Cross-sectional study with convenience sampling. Individual interviews were conducted with a questionnaire that includes demographic and socioeconomic questions, together with the Perceived Change Scale – patient version, validated in Brazil. This scale addresses perceived changes in several dimensions of life: occupation, physical health, psychobiological aspects, sleep, relationship and emotional stability. The study was conducted from August 2017 to November 2018, covering 100 adolescents between 12 and 18 years undergoing treatment in the service for at least 6 months. Results The majority were female (64.0%), aged between 16 and 18 years (48.0%), attended for more than one year (84.0%). The most cited diagnoses by teenagers were attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (39%) and anxiety disorders (36%). The result of the global evaluation showed the feeling of improvement in 83% of the participants; regarding the perceived change in the items of the scale related to improvement, they include: interest in working (71.0%), coexistence with family (67.0%) and interest in life (60.0%). Conclusion The evaluation of health care offered by public mental health services is an important indicator of quality and resoluteness of actions, making it possible to identify the aspects to be improved or reinforced in work processes, in order to favor better care practices in childhood and adolescence.

title: Impact of weight and diet parenting practices on body image of female adolescents

description: ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate parenting practices of weight and diet and their relationship with body image dissatisfaction in adolescents. Methods Data analysis refers to baseline data of a randomized clinical trial previously conducted with 270 female adolescents from public schools in São Paulo, who participated in the New Moves Brazil Program during 2014 and 2015. Anthropometric data, economic level, body dissatisfaction with body image, self-esteem, and parental practices of weight and diet from adolescents’ perspective were collected. A multiple logistic regression model was conducted to evaluate the influence of the variables on the dissatisfaction with body image of adolescents. Results Adolescents who were overweight, had medium/low self-esteem, suffered from weight teasing, and ate less family meals were associated with body image dissatisfaction. In the regression analysis, only comments about daughter’s weight were considered as a risk factor that ceases to exist when both parents live with their daughters. Regarding influence of father, in a family coexistence model, he can be both a positive model, in the influence of healthy choices, and a negative one in teasing about weight and encouraging dieting. Conclusions Parental practices related to weight and diet are considered as risk factor for the development of dissatisfaction with body image, and can consequently predispose to weight-related problems.

title: Orthorexia nervosa and body image in adolescents and adults

description: ABSTRACT Objective To identify the frequency of risky behavior for orthorexia nervosa in a sample of individuals aged between 18 and 60 years and associate it with nutritional status (classification of body weight), sociodemographic variables and body image. Methods This is a cross-sectional study of individuals of both sexes. The ORTO-15 questionnaire (with cutoff points &lt; 40 and &lt; 35) was used to identify risk behaviors for orthorexia and the Silhouette Scale for body image perception. Nutritional status was assessed by body mass index, with self-reported weight and height. For data analysis, the chi-square test was applied, with a significance level of 5%. Results 430 individuals participated, being 56.7% (n = 244) women, aged between 18.1 and 59.9 years for both sexes. There was a higher number of participants at risk for orthorexia when using the cutoff &lt; 40 (91.4%, n = 393) when compared to the cutoff &lt; 35 (54.4%, n = 234) (p &lt; 0.0001). Nutritional status was not associated with orthorexic behavior (&lt; 35, p = 0.68; &lt; 40, p = 0.69), as well as body image in both sexes (&lt; 40 and &lt; 35). Age between 40 and 60 years was associated with the presence of Orthorexia (&lt; 35) (p = 0.0005), while there was no association with gender, education, marital status and income (&lt; 40 and &lt; 35). Conclusion The results of the present study indicate a high frequency of risk behavior for Orthorexia. We suggest investigating the frequency in the various population segments and the factors associated with the development of orthorexic attitudes.

title: Anxiety in sexual and gender minorities: an integrative review

description: ABSTRACT Objective To evidence the predisposing factors related to anxiety in sexual and gender minorities in the literature. Methods This is an integrative review. The search of the articles was conducted in three databases: PubMed/Medline, Scopus and ISI Web of Knowledge. The descriptors "anxiety", "LGBT people", "gay", "bisexual", "lesbian" and "transgender" were used, with complete texts, published between 2013 and 2018, in the English language, boolean operator AND was used. Results A total of 712 articles were found. Fifty-eight (58) articles were selected to be read in their entirety and 13 met the inclusion criteria of this review. Evidence shows that LGBT people is at higher risk for mental disorders, including anxiety, when compared to heterosexual. The appearance of signs and symptoms of anxiety are related to shame and the avoidant behavior of this population due to the strong discrimination and lack of social and family life, which causes high levels of distress. Only two articles studied minors 18 years old. Conclusions Health professionals should be welcoming and attentive to health mental health of this public, with a view to contributing to health promotion, social and family support and reduction of discrimination.

title: Suicide thoughts among transgender population: an epidemiological study

description: ABSTRACT Objective To analyze the prevalence of suicidal thoughts among patients from a transgender outpatient clinic in the Federal District, as well as the variables associated with these events. Methods A cross-sectional epidemiological study was carried out based on a review of the medical records of patients attending the transgender outpatient clinic of the Hospital Dia, in the Federal District, from August 2017 to September 2018. Data were then tabulated by the program Excel 2016 and then analyzed by the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Results In this study, we observed intervening and variable factors influencing the development of suicidal behavior, with a correlation between modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. The findings of this study corroborate with the international literature on suicidal behavior, and the variables that may be related to this fact. Conclusion Socio-demographic, housing, and psychiatric issues compose these factors, demonstrating possible relationships with suicidal ideation. Thus, it is possible to show situations of intervention and the elaboration of strategies and policies that can improve the quality of life of these individuals and reduce rates of suicidal behavior.

title: Decision criteria in the concave mask illusion in schizophrenia

description: ABSTRACT Objective Some studies have shown that individuals with schizophrenia do not experience the illusion of the concave mask. In this phenomenon, a mask presented on its concave side is perceived as convex. The occurrence of this illusion, according to a hypothesis, would be due to the inhibition of the top-down processes on the bottom-up processes. In this study, we investigated whether there was a statistically significant difference between individuals with schizophrenia compared to healthy individuals in distinguishing the concave side of the convex from a mask, as well as which hypothesis best explained the phenomenon, top-down inhibition or different decision criteria. Methods Adopting the theory of the detection of the signal and in two tasks of data collection, the Confidence Rating and the 2-AFC, we tried to verify the performance in the judgments of the individuals with schizophrenia compared to the healthy individuals in front of a mask that now was presented on its concave side or on its convex side. Results In this study, individuals with schizophrenia were susceptible to delusion and more liberal in their judgments before the stimulus mask. Conclusions The hypothesis of top-down inhibition on bottom-up processes does not seem to be a plausible explanation. Perhaps, decision making or decision criteria better explain the results found in this study. Further studies are needed to better elucidate the phenomenon of the concave mask illusion in individuals with schizophrenia.

title: Suicide and associated factors across life span

description: ABSTRACT Objective To assess the epidemiological and toxicological profile of all suicide victims in 2017 in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Methods The victims were classified by gender, age, parental absence, city, suicide form, death context, and toxicological results, using the police occurrences and the reports issued by the Instituto-Geral de Perícias do RS. Multiple correspondence analysis and the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel X 2 test were used to evaluate associations between the parameters studied. Results There were 1,284 suicides (11.3 cases/100,000 inhabitants) in RS in 2017, 80% of which were men and 46% were young and old. Porto Alegre had the highest number of victims and the region of the Vale do Rio Pardo, the highest rate (20.8 cases/100,000 inhabitants). The hanging was the most used medium and the depression, the most mentioned context in the occurrences. The presence of ethanol was observed in 30% of the samples analyzed, with an adult male profile associated with the presence of other psychotropic substances, whose class was most frequently detected with anxiolytics. The nitrite was the most detected poison among the samples sent for this purpose. There was an association between parental absence and young people, between suicidal intoxication method and women and among young people and the presence of illicit compounds. Conclusion Mortality due to suicide continues to increase in RS, which, historically, has the highest Brazilian index. The information obtained in this study supports new research, promoting awareness raising, guidance to health services and the elaboration of more preventive public policies.

title: Molecular regulation of circadian rhythm and psychiatric disorders: a systematic review

description: ABSTRACT Objective The article aims to investigate the clock genes that are most associated with psychiatric disorders, the functions, and locations of these genes, as well as to investigate the main disorder, method and model in the analyzes. The paper seeks to summarize the findings and discuss the impact of this research on scientific knowledge. Methods This review used a systematic methodology (Prospero; ID 152031) and followed the PRISMA guidelines. The studies were searched in the PubMed/MEDLINE and Scientific Electronic Library Online databases and the terms of the Medical Subject Headings Terms were used. Quantitative studies with conclusive results regarding the association of psychiatric disorders with the molecular regulation of circadian rhythm were selected. The useful information was extracted and used for the elaboration of graphs and tables. Results We included 24 articles in our study. Bipolar disorder was the most commonly addressed psychiatric disorder (40% of studies); The participants’ Polish nationality also stood out in 39% of the works. Additionally, the PER gene was the most studied (25%) and the cerebral cortex was the main region in which the evaluated clock genes express themselves (34%). Finally, common PCR was the most used method (38%) and serotonin metabolism was the main function performed by gene products (16%). Conclusions Taken together, the results suggest that bipolar disorder is the most prevalent psychiatric disorder among research related to circadian genes, expressed mainly in the cerebral cortex of humans, especially the PER gene.

title: Generalized anxiety disorder among university-entrance preparation course students

description: ABSTRACT Objective To measure prevalence of symptomatology of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) among students from a university-entrance preparation course in southern Brazil and its association with social, demographic, academic and psychological factors. Methods This study had a cross-sectional design and participants were students aged 18 years or older from a private university-entrance preparation course in southern Brazil. A self-administered questionnaire that assessed social, demographic, and academic variables, as well as test-related anxiety and perceived stress was administered. The outcome analyzed was the symptomatology of GAD through the General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) instrument. Poisson regression with robust adjustment of variance was used in multivariate analysis. Results 137 students participated (90.7% response rate) and the prevalence of GAD symptomatology was 41.4%. After adjusted analysis, being female, having studied in a private school, having higher perceived stress and test anxiety scores remained as risk factors. Being 19 years old was a protective factor. Conclusions Anxiety regarding the test was the factor most strongly associated with symptomatology of GAD, which suggests that the emotions and concerns specific to the context of evaluations may predispose the individual to a higher risk of developing this disorder. Based on these results, we suggest the inclusion of mental health professionals in the context of university-entrance preparation courses, as well as interventions aiming the development of a healthy relationship between the student and their academic demands.
