Prevalence of trachoma in school children in the Marajó Archipelago, Brazilian Amazon, and the impact of the introduction of educational and preventive measures on the disease over eight years

Trachoma is the leading infectious cause of blindness in the world and is associated with precarious living conditions in developing countries. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of trachoma in three municipalities of the Marajó Archipelago, located in the state of Pará, Brazil. In 2008, 2,054 schoolchildren from the public primary school system of the urban area of the region and their communicants were clinically examined; in 2016, 1,502 schoolchildren were examined. The positive cases seen during the clinical evaluation were confirmed by direct immunofluorescence (DIF) laboratory tests. The presence of antibodies against the genus Chlamydia was evaluated by indirect immunofluorescence (IIF), and the serotypes were determined by microimmunofluorescence (MIF). In 2008, the prevalence of trachoma among schoolchildren was 3.4% (69 cases) and it was more frequent in children between six and nine years of age and in females; among the communicants, a prevalence of 16.5% was observed. In 2016, three cases of trachoma were diagnosed (prevalence of 0.2%), found only in the municipality of Soure. The results of the present study showed that in 2008, trachoma had a low prevalence (3.4%) among schoolchildren in the urban area of Marajó Archipelago; eight years after the first evaluation and the introduction of control and prevention measures (SAFE strategy), there was a drastic reduction in the number of cases (0.2%), demonstrating the need for constant monitoring and effective measures for the elimination of trachoma

Multicenter Brazilian Study of Oral Candida Species Isolated from Aids Patients

Oropharyngeal candidiasis continues to be considered the most common opportunistic disease in Aids patients. This study was designed to investigate species distribution, serotype and antifungal susceptibility profile among Candida spp. isolated from the oral cavity of Aids patients recruited from six Brazilian university centers. Oral swabs from 130 Aids patients were plated onto CHROMagar Candida medium and 142 isolates were recovered. Yeast isolates were identified by classical methods and serotyped using the Candida Check® system-Iatron. Antifungal susceptibility testing was performed according to the NCCLS microbroth assay. C. albicans was the most frequently isolated species (91%), and 70% of the isolates belonged to serotype A. We detected 12 episodes of co-infection (9%), including co-infection with both serotypes of C. albicans. Non-albicans species were isolated from 12 episodes, 50% of them exhibited DDS or resistance to azoles. Otherwise, only 8 out 130 isolates of C. albicans exhibited DDS or resistance to azoles. Brazilian Aids patients are infected mainly by C. albicans serotype A, most of them susceptible to all antifungal drugs

Crianças com fissura isolada de palato: desempenho nos testes de processamento auditivo Cleft palate children: performance in auditory processing tests

Muitas crianças com transtorno de processamento auditivo têm uma prevalência alta de otite média, alteração na orelha média de grande ocorrência na população com fissura labiopalatina. OBJETIVO: Verificar o desempenho de crianças com fissura isolada de palato (FP) em testes do processamento auditivo. Estudo prospectivo. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: Vinte crianças (7 a 11 anos) com FP foram submetidas aos testes de localização sonora (LS), memória para sons verbais (MSSV) e não-verbais em seqüência (MSSNV), Fusão Auditiva-Revisado (AFT-R), Teste Pediátrico de Inteligibilidade de Fala/Sentenças Sintéticas (PSI/SSI), Dissílabos alternados (SSW) e Dicótico de dígitos (DD). O desempenho das crianças nos testes foi classificado em ruim e bom. RESULTADOS: Não houve diferença estatística entre os gêneros e orelhas. Os valores médios obtidos foram 2,16, 2,42, 4,37, 60,50ms, de 40,71 a 67,33%, 96,25 a 99,38%, 73,55 a 73,88% e 58,38 a 65,47%, respectivamente, para os testes MSSNV, MSSV, LS, AFT-R, PSI/SSI com mensagem competitiva ipsilateral (PSI/SSIMCI) e contralateral (PSI/SSI/MCC), DD e SSW. CONCLUSÃO: Uma alta porcentagem de crianças demonstrou seus piores desempenhos nos testes AFT-R, DD, SSW e no teste PSI/SSIMCI. Os melhores desempenhos ocorreram nos testes de localização sonora, memória seqüencial para sons não verbais e verbais e para PSI/SSIMCC.<br>Many children with auditory processing disorders have a high prevalence of otitis media, a middle ear alterations greatly prevalent in children with palatine and lip clefts. AIM: to check the performance of children with palate cleft alone (PC) in auditory processing tests. Prospective study. MATERIALS AND METHODS: twenty children (7 to 11 years) with CP were submitted to sound location tests (SL), memory for verbal sounds (MSSV) and non verbal sounds in sequence (MSSNV), Revised auditory fusion (AFT-R), Pediatric test of speech intelligibility/synthetic sentences (PSI/SSI), alternate disyllables (SSW) and digit dichotic (DD). The children performances in the tests were classified in bad and good. RESULTS: there was no statistically significant difference between genders and ears. The average values obtained were 2.16, 2.42, 4.37, 60.50ms; 40.71 to 67.33%; 96.25 to 99.38%; 73.55 to 73.88% and 58.38 to 65.47% respectively for the MSSNV, MSSV, LS, AFT-R, PSI/SSI tests with ipsilateral (PSI/SSIMCI) and contralateral (PSI/SSI/MCC) competitive message, DD and SSW tests. CONCLUSION: a high percentage of children showed worse results in the AFT-R, DD, SSW tests and in the PSI/SSIMCI tests. The best performances happened in the sound location tests, verbal and non-verbal sounds for sequential memory and for PSI/SSIMCC tests

Práticas baseadas em evidências publicadas no Brasil: identificação e análise de suas vertentes e abordagens metodológicas

Revisão integrativa de estudos brasileiros sobre práticas baseadas em evidências (PBE) em saúde, publicados em periódicos ISI/JCR, nos últimos 10 anos. O objetivo foi identificar as especialidades que mais realizaram estes estudos, seus enfoques e abordagens metodológicas. A partir de critérios de inclusão, foram selecionados 144 trabalhos. Os resultados indicam que a maior quantidade de estudos feitos em PBE foram sobre infância e adolescência, infectologia, psiquiatria/saúde mental e cirurgia. Os enfoques predominantes foram prevenção, tratamento/reabilitação, diagnóstico e avaliação. As metodologias mais empregadas foram revisão sistemática sem ou com metanálise, revisão de protocolos ou síntese de estudos de evidências já disponíveis, e revisão integrativa. Constata-se forte expansão multiprofissional da PBE no Brasil, contribuindo para a busca de práticas mais criteriosas pela reunião, reconhecimento e análise crítica dos conhecimentos produzidos. O estudo contribui também para a própria análise dos modos de fazer pesquisa e novas possibilidades de investigação
