Animal influence on water, sanitation and hygiene measures for zoonosis control at the household level: A systematic literature review

Neglected zoonotic diseases (NZDs) have a significant impact on the livelihoods of the world’s poorest populations, which often lack access to basic services. Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) programmes are included among the key strategies for achieving the World Health Organization’s 2020 Roadmap for Implementation for control of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs). There exists a lack of knowledge regarding the effect of animals on the effectiveness of WASH measures. This review looked to identify how animal presence in the household influences the effectiveness of water, hygiene and sanitation measures for zoonotic disease control in low and middle income countries; to identify gaps of knowledge regarding this topic based on the amount and type of studies looking at this particular interaction

Background The increasing burden of obesity generates significant socioeconomic impacts for individuals, populations, and national health systems worldwide. The literature on impacts and cost-effectiveness of obesity-related interventions for prevention and treatment of moderate to severe obesity indicate that bariatric surgery presents high costs associated with high effectiveness in improving health status referring to certain outcomes; however, there is a lack of robust evidence at an individual-level estimation of its impacts on multiple health outcomes related to obesity comorbidities. Methods The study encompasses a single-centre retrospective longitudinal analysis of patient-level data using micro-costing technique to estimate direct health care costs with cost-effectiveness for multiple health outcomes pre-and post-bariatric surgery. Data from 114 patients who had bariatric surgery at the Hospital of Clinics of the University of Sao Paulo during 2018 were investigated through interrupted time-series analysis with generalised estimating equations and marginal effects, including information on patients' characteristics, lifestyle, anthropometric measures, hemodynamic measures, biochemical exams, and utilisation of health care resources during screening (180 days before) and follow-up (180 days after) of bariatric surgery. Results The preliminary statistical analysis showed that health outcomes presented improvement, except cholesterol and VLDL, and overall direct health care costs increased after the intervention. However, interrupted time series analysis showed that the rise in health care costs is attributable to the high cost of bariatric surgery, followed by a statistically significant decrease in post-intervention health care costs. Changes in health outcomes were also statistically significant in general, except in cholesterol and LDL, leading to significant improvements in patients' health status after the intervention. Conclusions Trends multiple health outcomes showed statistically significant improvements in patients' health status post-intervention compared to trends pre-intervention, resulting in reduced direct health care costs and the burden of obesity.Coordenacao de Aperfeicoamento de Pessoal de Nivel Superior - Brasil (CAPES) - Finance Code 001 - 88887.368403/2019-00; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifco e Tecnologico (CNPq, National Council for Scientifc and Technologic Development, Ministry of Science and Technology) - Grants 307175/2016-2 and 301109/2019-2

Hospitalização na óptica do acidentado de trânsito e de seu familiar-acompanhante La hospitalización bajo el enfoque del accidentado de tránsito y de su familiar acompañante Hospitalization from the traffic victims' and their family caregivers' points of view

O trabalho descreve o contexto da hospitalização vivenciado pelo acidentado no trânsito e por seu familiar-acompanhante. Com abordagem qualitativa e norteada pela pesquisa convergente assistencial, a investigação realizou-se em um hospital de emergência em Fortaleza, Ceará, em 2004, com 14 pessoas - sete pacientes com trauma musculoesquelético e sete familiares acompanhantes. Na visão dos participantes, o momento da hospitalização é permeado pela depressão, ansiedade, tristeza, medo, preocupação, desinformação, destrato da equipe de saúde ao paciente e família, sendo exacerbado pelo trauma físico, dificuldades econômicas, sociais e implicações legais. De acordo com o princípio da integralidade, o cuidado ao vitimado no trânsito deve ser ampliado aos familiares, pois esses também sofrem danos quando deparam com morte súbita, traumas graves e seqüelas em pessoas significativas.<br>El trabajo describe el contexto de la hospitalización vivenciado por el accidentado de tránsito y por su familiar acompañante.

Using a qualitative approach and orientated by the convergent analysis, the investigation took place at an emergency hospital, in Fortaleza, Ceará, in 2004, with 14 people - seven patients with skeletal muscle trauma and seven relatives accompanying them. In the participants' standpoint, the hospitalization moment is permeated by depression, anxiety, sadness, fear, concern, unawareness, affront from the health team to the patient and family, being exacerbated by the physical traumas, economical difficulties, social and legal implications. According to the integral principle, care to traffic victims should be extended to their relatives, because the latter also suffer injuries when they come across sudden death, serious traumas and seequls in significant persons
