Uso de drogas ilícitas na gestação: quais os malefícios à integridade do bebê?

The aim was to describe the main negative results in the baby's integrity and in its development resulting from the use of legal/illicit drugs by the pregnant woman during pregnancy. this is an integrative literature review, with a bibliographic survey from 2015 to 2020 in databases and electronic libraries SciELO, MEDLINE, LILACS, BDENF, Index Psychology Technical-Scientific Journals and Virtual Health Library (VHL). Using the descriptors: “illicit drugs, pregnancy and children”. Ten articles that were part of the inclusion criteria were analyzed. It was evident that the consumption of legal/illicit drugs during pregnancy can cause irreversible damage to the baby/child and, despite this topic being considered an important public health problem, it lacks studies, and further research is needed for greater understanding of this situation.Objetivou-se descrever os principais resultados negativos na integridade do bebê e no seu desenvolvimento decorrentes do uso de drogas lícitas/ilícitas pela gestante durante a gravidez. trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, com levantamento bibliográfico do período de 2015 a 2020 nas bases de dados e bibliotecas eletrônicas SciELO, MEDLINE, LILACS, BDENF, Index Psicologia Periódicos Técnico-Científicos e Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS). Utilizando os descritores: “drogas ilícitas, gravidez e crianças”. Foram analisados 10 artigos que fizeram parte dos critérios de inclusão. Evidenciou-se que o consumo de drogas lícitas/ilícitas durante a gravidez pode acarretar danos irreversíveis ao bebê/criança e, que apesar desse tema ser considerado um importante problema de saúde pública, carece de estudos, sendo necessário então, novas pesquisas para um maior entendimento dessa conjuntura

Reinvenção das ligas acadêmicas em período de pandemia e interrupção das aulas presenciais

Academic Leagues are characterized as organizations formed by non-profit student groups, which develop didactic, scientific, cultural, and social activities with their members, which approach a particular area of health. This article is a descriptive, retrospective, and cross-sectional report, carried out from the experience of an Academic League at a private university in the State of Rio de Janeiro in 2020 describing their experiences obtained through the actions developed in 2020, during the pandemic caused by COVID-19 and the paralysis of classroom classes, virtualization of them and changes in the academic schedule.As Ligas Acadêmicas são caracterizadas como organizações formadas por núcleos estudantis sem fins lucrativos, que desenvolvem com seus membros atividades didáticas, científicas, culturais e sociais, que acercam uma determinada área da saúde. Esse artigo trata-se de um relato descritivo, retrospectivo e transversal, realizado a partir da vivência de uma Liga Acadêmica em uma universidade privada do Estado do Rio de janeiro no ano de 2020 descrevendo suas experiências obtidas através das ações desenvolvidas no ano de 2020, durante a pandemia causada pela COVID-19 e a paralização das aulas presencias, virtualização das mesmas e mudanças no cronograma acadêmico

Comparação na avaliação microbiológica de dois desinfetantes de uso doméstico no Brasil pelos métodos recomendados pela AOAC e ECN

Surface disinfectants are considered a major tool for preventing the spread of infections in human populations. Changes in the Brazilian law in 2007 allowed the use of various methodologies to evaluate the microbiological quality of surface disinfectants, warranting studies of the efficacy and application of other methodologies, such as those recommended by European Committee of Normalization (ECN). The present study aimed to establish the application of ECN methodologies for assessment of general use disinfectants. The use–dilution (UD) method recommended by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) and the European Standard 1276 from ECN were performed in parallel, and the anti-microbial actions of two quaternary ammonium compounds (products A and B) and 70% ethanol solution were compared using reference microorganisms and two strains isolated from household environments. According to the UD method, all products were effective, except that product B was ineffective against Staphylococcus aureus and gave non-reproducible results. The ECN method indicated that all products were effective, except that product A produced inadequate neutralization of S. aureus. Although the ECN method showed efficacy and applicability to the Brazilian routine, assays with greater number of products are required.Os produtos desinfetantes para superfícies são considerados uma ferramenta da população para prevenção de infecções de natureza domiciliar. Modificações na legislação brasileira em 2007 permitiram a utilização de diferentes metodologias para a avaliação da qualidade microbiológica desses produtos, resultando na necessidade de um maior conhecimento em relação ao comportamento e aplicação de outras metodologias, como as preconizadas pelo Comitê Europeu de Normalização (CEN). Esse trabalho teve como objetivo estabelecer um estudo piloto da aplicação das metodologias do CEN em desinfetantes de uso geral. Foram utilizadas, em paralelo, a metodologia da Diluição de Uso (DU) preconizada pela Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) e a norma EUROPEAN STANDARD 1276 do CEN, utilizando dois produtos à base de quaternário de amônio (produtos A e B) e o álcool etílico 70% como controle, frente aos micro-organismos de referência e duas amostras de E. cloacae isoladas de ambiente domiciliar. Pela DU, todos os produtos foram eficazes, com exceção do produto B frente a Staphylococcus aureus cujos resultados não foram reprodutíveis. Pelo método do CEN, todos os produtos foram eficazes, com exceção do produto A frente a S. aureus, cuja neutralização não foi adequada. A divergência de resultados obtidos para os dois produtos à base de quaternários de amônio evidencia a necessidade de continuidade na avaliação das duas técnicas, com um maior número de produtos comerciais, considerando a potencialidade do uso do CEN no país

Measuring adherence to inhaled control medication in patients with asthma: Comparison among an asthma app, patient self‐report and physician assessment

Background Previous studies have demonstrated the feasibility of using an asthma app to support medication management and adherence but failed to compare with other measures currently used in clinical practice. However, in a clinical setting, any additional adherence measurement must be evaluated in the context of both the patient and physician perspectives so that it can also help improve the process of shared decision making. Thus, we aimed to compare different measures of adherence to asthma control inhalers in clinical practice, namely through an app, patient self-report and physician assessment. Methods This study is a secondary analysis of three prospective multicentre observational studies with patients (≥13 years old) with persistent asthma recruited from 61 primary and secondary care centres in Portugal. Patients were invited to use the InspirerMundi app and register their inhaled medication. Adherence was measured by the app as the number of doses taken divided by the number of doses scheduled each day and two time points were considered for analysis: 1-week and 1-month. At baseline, patients and physicians independently assessed adherence to asthma control inhalers during the previous week using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS 0–100). Results A total of 193 patients (72% female; median [P25–P75] age 28 [19–41] years old) were included in the analysis. Adherence measured by the app was lower (1 week: 31 [0–71]%; 1 month: 18 [0–48]%) than patient self-report (80 [60–95]) and physician assessment (82 [51–94]) (p 0.05). There was a moderate correlation between patient self-report and physician assessment (ρ = 0.596, p < 0.001). Conclusions Adherence measured by the app was lower than that reported by the patient or the physician. This was expected as objective measurements are commonly lower than subjective evaluations, which tend to overestimate adherence. Nevertheless, the low adherence measured by the app may also be influenced by the use of the app itself and this needs to be considered in future studies.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

SARS-CoV-2 introductions and early dynamics of the epidemic in Portugal

Genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in Portugal was rapidly implemented by the National Institute of Health in the early stages of the COVID-19 epidemic, in collaboration with more than 50 laboratories distributed nationwide. Methods By applying recent phylodynamic models that allow integration of individual-based travel history, we reconstructed and characterized the spatio-temporal dynamics of SARSCoV-2 introductions and early dissemination in Portugal. Results We detected at least 277 independent SARS-CoV-2 introductions, mostly from European countries (namely the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Italy, and Switzerland), which were consistent with the countries with the highest connectivity with Portugal. Although most introductions were estimated to have occurred during early March 2020, it is likely that SARS-CoV-2 was silently circulating in Portugal throughout February, before the first cases were confirmed. Conclusions Here we conclude that the earlier implementation of measures could have minimized the number of introductions and subsequent virus expansion in Portugal. This study lays the foundation for genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in Portugal, and highlights the need for systematic and geographically-representative genomic surveillance.We gratefully acknowledge to Sara Hill and Nuno Faria (University of Oxford) and Joshua Quick and Nick Loman (University of Birmingham) for kindly providing us with the initial sets of Artic Network primers for NGS; Rafael Mamede (MRamirez team, IMM, Lisbon) for developing and sharing a bioinformatics script for sequence curation (https://github.com/rfm-targa/BioinfUtils); Philippe Lemey (KU Leuven) for providing guidance on the implementation of the phylodynamic models; Joshua L.
