    O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar as principais normativas nacionais referentes à Educação Especial em uma perspectiva inclusiva buscando estabelecer conexões com as normativas do município de Canoas e como objetivo específico: analisar de quais formas as normativas definidas pelo município de Canoas se efetivam nas práticas cotidianas quanto aos quesitos: Atendimento Educacional Especializado, avaliação e identificação e profissional de apoio. As questões norteadoras foram as indagações: Quais ações ou fatores influenciam na efetivação ou não das resoluções municipais? Como as políticas de Educação Especial estão sendo compreendidas pelos professores, gestores do município? Há indicações de adesão, divergência ou resistência por parte do município em relação às normativas federais? Esta pesquisa assume um caráter qualitativo, onde analisei os dados disponibilizados pela Secretaria Municipal de Educação e complementados com entrevistas semiestruturadas com perguntas abertas a um gestor do setor de inclusão escolar e dois professores do Atendimento Educacional Especializado. Alguns autores foram escolhidos como base teórica no que tange às Políticas da Educação Especial na Perspectiva Inclusiva: Claudio Roberto Baptista, Katia Regina Moreno Caiado, Cláudia Freitas, Clarissa Hass, Denise Meyrelles de Jesus, Fabiane Bridi, Maria Teresa Mantoan, José Geraldo Bueno, Rosângela Gavioli Prieto, entre outros. Bem como as normativas da Educação e da Educação Especial, dentre elas: Constituição Federal de 1988; Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional de 1996, Política Nacional de Educação Especial na Perspectiva Inclusiva (2008), Resolução 04 de 2009, Nota técnica 04 de 2014 e Lei Brasileira de Inclusão (2015). A análise de dados foi organizada em três eixos: Atendimento educacional Especializado, Avaliação e identificação e Profissional de Apoio. Os resultados dos levantamentos de dados demonstram um aumento expressivo no número de matrículas de alunos da Educação Especial. As evidências das entrevistas apontam que a rede municipal de ensino tem buscado manter-se consoante às normativas federais, e há elementos que demonstram avanços nas ações de inclusão escolar com a valorização dos profissionais do magistério, formação especifica do professor que atua no AEE e profissionais de apoio em todas as escolas. Contudo, há grandes desafios no processo de efetivação da inclusão escolar.This study aimed to analyze the main national regulations regarding Special Education in an inclusive perspective, seeking to establish connections with the regulations in the city of Canoas, with the specific objective of analyzing in which ways the regulations defined by the city are effective in everyday practices for the following questions: Specialized Educational Assistance, evaluation and identification, and support professionals. The guiding questions were these: Which actions or factors influence the effectiveness or not of municipal resolutions? How are Special Education policies being understood by teachers and managers of the city? Are there signs of adherence, divergence or resistance of the city in relation to federal regulations? This research has a qualitative character, in which we analyzed the data made available by the Municipal Department of Education and complemented with semi-structured interviews with essay questions for a manager of the school inclusion sector and two teachers of the Specialized Educational Assistance. Some authors were chosen as the theoretical basis for the Special Education Policies in the Inclusive Perspective: Claudio Roberto Baptista, Katia Regina Moreno Caiado, Cláudia Freitas, Clarissa Hass, Denise Meyrelles de Jesus, Fabiane Bridi, Maria Teresa Mantoan, José Geraldo Bueno, Rosângela Gavioli Prieto, among others. As well as the regulations of Education and Special Education, such as: the Federal Constitution of 1988; the National Education Policy and Guidelines Act, from 1996; the National Policy on Special Education in the Inclusive Perspective, from 2008; the Resolution 04, from 2009; the Technical Note 04, from 2014; and the Brazilian Inclusion Law, from 2015. The data analysis was organized in three axes: Specialized Educational Assistance, Evaluation and identification, and Support professionals. The results of the data surveys showed a significant increase in the enrollment of Special Education students. The evidence from the interviews shows that the municipal education network has sought to keep up with federal regulations, implementing the actions of school inclusion with the appreciation of teaching professionals, specific training of teachers who work in the ESA and support professionals in all schools. However, there are major challenges in the process of achieving school inclusion

    COVID-19 is highly variable in its clinical presentation, ranging from asymptomatic infection to severe organ damage and death. We characterized the time-dependent progression of the disease in 139 COVID-19 inpatients by measuring 86 accredited diagnostic parameters, such as blood cell counts and enzyme activities, as well as untargeted plasma proteomes at 687 sampling points. We report an initial spike in a systemic inflammatory response, which is gradually alleviated and followed by a protein signature indicative of tissue repair, metabolic reconstitution, and immunomodulation. We identify prognostic marker signatures for devising risk-adapted treatment strategies and use machine learning to classify therapeutic needs. We show that the machine learning models based on the proteome are transferable to an independent cohort. Our study presents a map linking routinely used clinical diagnostic parameters to plasma proteomes and their dynamics in an infectious disease

    Clinical and virological characteristics of hospitalised COVID-19 patients in a German tertiary care centre during the first wave of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: a prospective observational study

    Purpose: Adequate patient allocation is pivotal for optimal resource management in strained healthcare systems, and requires detailed knowledge of clinical and virological disease trajectories. The purpose of this work was to identify risk factors associated with need for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), to analyse viral kinetics in patients with and without IMV and to provide a comprehensive description of clinical course. Methods: A cohort of 168 hospitalised adult COVID-19 patients enrolled in a prospective observational study at a large European tertiary care centre was analysed. Results: Forty-four per cent (71/161) of patients required invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Shorter duration of symptoms before admission (aOR 1.22 per day less, 95% CI 1.10-1.37, p < 0.01) and history of hypertension (aOR 5.55, 95% CI 2.00-16.82, p < 0.01) were associated with need for IMV. Patients on IMV had higher maximal concentrations, slower decline rates, and longer shedding of SARS-CoV-2 than non-IMV patients (33 days, IQR 26-46.75, vs 18 days, IQR 16-46.75, respectively, p < 0.01). Median duration of hospitalisation was 9 days (IQR 6-15.5) for non-IMV and 49.5 days (IQR 36.8-82.5) for IMV patients. Conclusions: Our results indicate a short duration of symptoms before admission as a risk factor for severe disease that merits further investigation and different viral load kinetics in severely affected patients. Median duration of hospitalisation of IMV patients was longer than described for acute respiratory distress syndrome unrelated to COVID-19

    Data on convalescent plasma (CP) treatment in COVID-19 outpatients are scarce. We aimed to assess whether CP administered during the first week of symptoms reduced the disease progression or risk of hospitalization of outpatients. Two multicenter, double-blind randomized trials (NCT04621123, NCT04589949) were merged with data pooling starting when = 50 years and symptomatic for <= 7days were included. The intervention consisted of 200-300mL of CP with a predefined minimum level of antibodies. Primary endpoints were a 5-point disease severity scale and a composite of hospitalization or death by 28 days. Amongst the 797 patients included, 390 received CP and 392 placebo; they had a median age of 58 years, 1 comorbidity, 5 days symptoms and 93% had negative IgG antibody-test. Seventy-four patients were hospitalized, 6 required mechanical ventilation and 3 died. The odds ratio (OR) of CP for improved disease severity scale was 0.936 (credible interval (CI) 0.667-1.311); OR for hospitalization or death was 0.919 (CI 0.592-1.416). CP effect on hospital admission or death was largest in patients with <= 5 days of symptoms (OR 0.658, 95%CI 0.394-1.085). CP did not decrease the time to full symptom resolution

Publisher Copyright: © 2018 The AuthorsMultiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable disease, with little information available on its management in real-world clinical practice. The results of the present prospective, noninterventional observational study revealed great diversity in the treatment regimens used to treat MM. Our results also provide data to inform health economic, pharmacoepidemiologic, and outcomes research, providing a framework for the design of protocols to improve the outcomes of patients with MM. Background: The present prospective, multinational, noninterventional study aimed to document and describe real-world treatment regimens and disease progression in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Patients and Methods: Adult patients initiating any new MM therapy from October 2010 to October 2012 were eligible. A multistage patient/site recruitment model was applied to minimize the selection bias; enrollment was stratified by country, region, and practice type. The patient medical and disease features, treatment history, and remission status were recorded at baseline, and prospective data on treatment, efficacy, and safety were collected electronically every 3 months. Results: A total of 2358 patients were enrolled. Of these patients, 775 and 1583 did and did not undergo stem cell transplantation (SCT) at any time during treatment, respectively. Of the patients in the SCT and non-SCT groups, 49%, 21%, 14%, and 15% and 57%, 20%, 12% and 10% were enrolled at treatment line 1, 2, 3, and ≥ 4, respectively. In the SCT and non-SCT groups, 45% and 54% of the patients had received bortezomib-based therapy without thalidomide/lenalidomide, 12% and 18% had received thalidomide/lenalidomide-based therapy without bortezomib, and 30% and 4% had received bortezomib plus thalidomide/lenalidomide-based therapy as frontline treatment, respectively. The corresponding proportions of SCT and non-SCT patients in lines 2, 3, and ≥ 4 were 45% and 37%, 30% and 37%, and 12% and 3%, 33% and 27%, 35% and 32%, and 8% and 2%, and 27% and 27%, 27% and 23%, and 6% and 4%, respectively. In the SCT and non-SCT patients, the overall response rate was 86% to 97% and 64% to 85% in line 1, 74% to 78% and 59% to 68% in line 2, 55% to 83% and 48% to 60% in line 3, and 49% to 65% and 36% and 45% in line 4, respectively, for regimens that included bortezomib and/or thalidomide/lenalidomide. Conclusion: The results of our prospective study have revealed great diversity in the treatment regimens used to manage MM in real-life practice. This diversity was linked to factors such as novel agent accessibility and evolving treatment recommendations. Our results provide insight into associated clinical benefits.publishersversionPeer reviewe
