They call me street, population, a situation : street names and city policies

O texto acompanha algumas categorizações criadas para nomear os habitantes da rua, ao ponto de chamarmos no Brasil por “População em Situação de Rua”. A categoria expressa um dos limites da pobreza urbana e, de modo transversal, a expropriação burguesa, branca e patriarcal. No plano urbano, é resultado dos movimentos de dispersão, segmentação, periferização e rualização da cidade. Os habitantes da rua, por outro lado, animam um sistema filantrópico que cria seus códigos e técnicas de enquadramento e salvação. Apesar das nomeações, uma vida perene e incapturável surge das ruas, com estratégias de sobrevivência e proteção que desafiam a maldição dos nomes e as políticas da cidade.The text follows some categorizations created to name the homeless, to the point of being called in Brazil “População em Situação de Rua” (Population in a Homeless Situation). Said category expresses one of the limits of urban poverty and, in a transversal way, the bourgeois, white and patriarchal expropriation. At the urban level, it is the result of the city’s dispersion, segmentation and peripheralization movements. The homeless, on the other hand, animate a philanthropic system that creates its codes and techniques of framing and salvation. Despite the nominations, a perennial and uncapturable life emerges from the streets, with survival and protection strategies that defy the weight that the names given to them bring, as well as city policies.El texto sigue algunas categorizaciones creadas para nombrar a la gente que vive en las calles, hasta el punto en que los llamamos en Brasil “Población en situación de calle”. La categoría expresa uno de los límites de la pobreza urbana y, de manera transversal, la expropiación burguesa, blanca y patriarcal. A nivel urbano, es el resultado de los movimientos de dispersión, segmentación, ‘periferización’ y ‘callerización’ de la ciudad. Los habitantes de la calle, por otro lado, animan un sistema filantrópico que crea sus códigos y técnicas de encuadre y salvación. A pesar de los nombres, una vida perenne e insondable emerge de las calles, con estrategias de supervivencia y protección que desafían la maldición del nombre y las políticas de la ciudad

Students’ HPV vaccination rates are associated with demographics, sexuality, and source of advice but not level of study in medical school

This study aimed to explore how medical students differ regarding the HPV vaccination status according to their demographics, sexuality, medical school year and sources of information regarding the vaccine. The cross-sectional survey included 379 participants from medical school year 1 to 6, in a medical school in Brasilia. Statistical analyses of the data obtained from a questionnaire analyzed contingency tables and highlighted odds ratios effect sizes. The results showed that among all the participants, 80 (21.1%) were vaccinated against HPV, 215 (58.7%) were not vaccinated but wanted to be and 84 (22.2%) were neither vaccinated nor wanted to be vaccinated. . Female gender (OR= 5.88, 95% CI 3.36-10.30), parental advice (OR= 6.95, 95% CI= 3.97-12.16), and absence of sexual initiation before 16 years of age (OR= 3.04, 95% CI= 1.05-8.77) were positively associated with HPV-vaccinated students. In parallel, female gender (OR= 4.74, 95% CI= 2.38-9.44), parental advice (OR= 3.50, 95% CI=1.20-10.22), and reporting two or more recent sexual partners (OR= 2.03, 95% CI= 1.06-3.88) were positively associated with the intention to be vaccinated among unvaccinated students. The high cost of the vaccine was perceived as a barrier among those respondents who wished to be vaccinated. Additionally, among the 84 (81.3% male) students who admitted unwillingness to be vaccinated, approximately two-thirds cited the feeling to be safe, lack of counseling, or low efficacy of the vaccine as the reasons for their reluctance. In conclusion, vaccination coverage was low among these medical students. Nevertheless, female gender, personal advice, and safe sex were the main factors associated with higher levels of vaccination and vaccine acceptance

Chitosan and gum arabic nanoparticles for heavy metal adsorption

Chitosan (CT) is a polysaccharide with the ability to adsorb metals on its surface. In this work, CT-based nanoparticles (NPs) are produced by complex formation with gum arabic (GA) to increase their adsorbent potential for removal of heavy metals in aqueous medium. Adsorption efficiency is evaluated as a function of NP composition and polysaccharide concentration. NPs are sized from 250 to 375 nm at a zeta potential up to -25 mV, suggesting stability to adsorb metals. In particular, CTGA56 and CTGA80 NPs adsorbed a substantially higher amount of copper ions than pure CT. Adsorption kinetics studies showed that the reaction process followed a pseudo second-order model and the adsorption isotherm results fit a Langmuir model, highlighting the monolayer adsorption process with prominent adsorption capacity. These findings indicate the adsorbent potential of CTGA NPs and suggest that these particles can be used for removal of metal ions from contaminated water sources

PERFIL CLÍNICO E EPIDEMIOLÓGICO DE GESTANTES COM DIABETES MELLITUS GESTACIONAL EM UM MUNICÍPIO DE SANTA CATARINA

To identify the clinical and epidemiological profile of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus in a referral center of a southern region city of Santa Catarina. A cross-sectional study with secondary data collection and a quantitative approach, addressing pregnant women who attended a referral center in the city of Criciúma - SC. Data collection was performed through a form covering anthropometric data, comorbidities, risk factors, maternal and fetal outcomes and their determinants. The prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus was found in 19.6% of the pregnant women. Overweight or obesity were present in 71% of those. As a tool for drug therapy, metformin was used by 20.1% of pregnant women from which 69.8% choose a cesarean operation to be performed. Early pregnancy at the diagnosis and advanced maternal age were associated with cesarean operation. In addition, the body mass index was positively associated with the intensity of the therapy used for glycemic control. The prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus found in the sample was higher than those from the studies of the population basis in the country and worldwide. In addition to that, most of the observed pregnant women were found to have obesity, which was highly associated with the pathology genesis and the need for more aggressive therapy. However, it is a preventable and treatable condition that can be a target for great impact on public health if addressed effectively.

Estudo transversal com coleta de dados secundários e abordagem quantitativa, abordando gestantes atendidas em um centro de referência do município de Criciúma - SC. A coleta de dados foi realizada com o auxílio de um formulário abrangendo dados antropométricos, comorbidades, fatores de risco, desfechos maternos e fetais e os seus determinantes. A prevalência de diabetes mellitus gestacional encontrada foi de 19,6%. Sobrepeso ou obesidade estavam presentes em 71,0% das gestantes. Como terapia medicamentosa, a metformina foi utilizada por 20,1% das gestantes, e a via de parto cesárea foi realizada por 69,8%. A idade gestacional precoce ao diagnóstico e a idade materna avançada foram associadas com via de parto cesárea. O índice de massa corporal foi associado positivamente com a intensidade da terapia utilizada para controle glicêmico. A prevalência de diabetes mellitus gestacional encontrada foi superior à dos estudos de base populacional no país e no mundo. A obesidade também apresentou alta prevalência nestas gestantes, sendo fortemente associada à gênese da patologia e à necessidade de terapia mais agressiva. Todavia, é uma condição passível de prevenção e tratamento, podendo ser um alvo de grande impacto na saúde pública, se abordada de uma forma eficaz.

Anticonvulsant Effects of Fractions Isolated from Dinoponera quadriceps (Kempt) Ant Venom (Formicidae: Ponerinae)

Natural products, sources of new pharmacological substances, have large chemical diversity and architectural complexity. In this context, some toxins obtained from invertebrate venoms have anticonvulsant effects. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that affects about 65 million people worldwide, and approximately 30% of cases are resistant to pharmacological treatment. Previous studies from our group show that the denatured venom of the ant Dinoponera quadriceps (Kempt) protects mice against bicuculline (BIC)-induced seizures and death. The aim of this study was to investigate the anticonvulsant activity of compounds isolated from D. quadriceps venom against seizures induced by BIC in mice. Crude venom was fractionated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) resulting in six fractions referred to as DqTx1-DqTx6. A liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis revealed a major 431 Da compound in fractions DqTx1 and DqTx2. Fractions DqTx3 and DqTx4 showed a compound of 2451 Da and DqTx5 revealed a 2436 Da compound. Furthermore, the DqTx6 fraction exhibited a major component with a molecular weight of 13,196 Da. Each fraction (1 mg/mL) was microinjected into the lateral ventricle of mice, and the animals were observed in an open field. We did not observe behavioral alterations when the fractions were given alone. Conversely, when the fractions were microinjected 20 min prior to the administration of BIC (21.6 nM), DqTx1, DqTx4, and DqTx6 fractions increased the latency for onset of tonic-clonic seizures. Moreover, all fractions, except DqTx5, increased latency to death. The more relevant result was obtained with the DqTx6 fraction, which protected 62.5% of the animals against tonic-clonic seizures. Furthermore, this fraction protected 100% of the animals from seizure episodes followed by death. Taken together, these findings indicate that compounds from ant venom might be a potential source of new anticonvulsants molecules.Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Pró-reitoria de Pesquisa da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (PROPESQ/UFRN)Fundaçao de Apoio à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (FAPERN)Univ Fed Rio Grande do Norte, Dept Physiol, BR-59078970 Natal, RN, BrazilUniv Sao Paulo, Dept Biol, BR-14040901 Ribeirao Preto, SP, BrazilUniv Fed Sao Paulo, Dept Biophys, BR-04023062 Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilUniv Fed Sao Paulo, Dept Pharmacol, BR-04023062 Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilUniv Fed Sao Paulo, Dept Biosci, BR-11015020 Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilBiophysics Department, Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), São Paulo, SP 04023-062, BrazilPharmacology Department, Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), São Paulo, SP 04023-062, BrazilBiosciences Department, Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), Santos, SP 11015-020, BrazilWeb of Scienc
