The objective of this work was to study the consumer habits of street market customers in the municipality of Alfenas, Minas Gerais state. More specifically, the aim was to characterize the customers according to their social and economic status and purchasing habits and to identify the variables that determine their attendance in the street market. Cluster analysis was done to group customers with similar characteristics and habits. The Logit model was then used to test the effects of the variables on the customer’s attendance. The results indicate that the street market presents a heterogeneous public as far as age, per capita income, schooling and occupation are concerned; it does present, however, similarities as to the reason for preferring the street market, the most purchased products and the attendance intervals. It was found that the habit of going to the street market to buy, essentially, fruits and vegetables, is regardless of the customer’s financial status, but is related to the idea that the street market is an appropriate place to obtain healthy foods, which lead to a healthier diet, besides being a leisure environment. The results reinforce the importance of understanding this popular environment more thoroughly because they can subsidize health and nutrition policies which aim to plan, diagnose and intervene in the situations raised.market, consumer behavior, conglomerate analysis, logit model, Agribusiness, Agricultural Finance, Industrial Organization,

Universidade-ONG: Extensão Universitária em Educação Popular em Saúde Bucal

A Educação Popular em Saúde prioriza a relação educativa com a população, cuja importância reside no fato de que a saúde bucal é parte integrante e indissociável da saúde geral e a extensão universitária pode trabalhar a Educação Popular em saúde, levando benefícios para as comunidades assistidas e para os acadêmicos envolvidos nos projetos. Esse relato de experiência positiva, realizado com crianças e adolescentes (6 a 14 anos) frequentadores de uma ONG de Alfenas-MG, trabalhou a Educação Popular em Saúde, por graduandos de Odontologia. O exame intrabucal identificava a dentição, a presença de cárie dentária e a necessidade de tratamento. Foram feitos encaminhamentos para as Unidades Básicas em Saúde ou para a clínica de Odontopediatria da Universidade Federal de Alfenas. Paralelamente às coletas, por meio da Educação Popular em Saúde Bucal, foi trabalhada a Saúde Bucal, de maneira adequada à idade da criança e do adolescente, conforme preconizado por Paulo Freire. Houve uma diminuição na incidência de cárie dentária entre as observações realizadas em 2017 e aquelas de 2018, evidenciando a eficácia da Educação Popular em Saúde Bucal no grupo estudado. Além disso, os acadêmicos envolvidos no projeto se tornaram mais cônscios da realidade comunitária, vislumbrando um atendimento integral do paciente

2 nd Brazilian Consensus on Chagas Disease, 2015

Abstract Chagas disease is a neglected chronic condition with a high burden of morbidity and mortality. It has considerable psychological, social, and economic impacts. The disease represents a significant public health issue in Brazil, with different regional patterns. This document presents the evidence that resulted in the Brazilian Consensus on Chagas Disease. The objective was to review and standardize strategies for diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and control of Chagas disease in the country, based on the available scientific evidence. The consensus is based on the articulation and strategic contribution of renowned Brazilian experts with knowledge and experience on various aspects of the disease. It is the result of a close collaboration between the Brazilian Society of Tropical Medicine and the Ministry of Health. It is hoped that this document will strengthen the development of integrated actions against Chagas disease in the country, focusing on epidemiology, management, comprehensive care (including families and communities), communication, information, education, and research

Mortality from gastrointestinal congenital anomalies at 264 hospitals in 74 low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries: a multicentre, international, prospective cohort study

Summary Background Congenital anomalies are the fifth leading cause of mortality in children younger than 5 years globally. Many gastrointestinal congenital anomalies are fatal without timely access to neonatal surgical care, but few studies have been done on these conditions in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). We compared outcomes of the seven most common gastrointestinal congenital anomalies in low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries globally, and identified factors associated with mortality. Methods We did a multicentre, international prospective cohort study of patients younger than 16 years, presenting to hospital for the first time with oesophageal atresia, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, intestinal atresia, gastroschisis, exomphalos, anorectal malformation, and Hirschsprung’s disease. Recruitment was of consecutive patients for a minimum of 1 month between October, 2018, and April, 2019. We collected data on patient demographics, clinical status, interventions, and outcomes using the REDCap platform. Patients were followed up for 30 days after primary intervention, or 30 days after admission if they did not receive an intervention. The primary outcome was all-cause, in-hospital mortality for all conditions combined and each condition individually, stratified by country income status. We did a complete case analysis. Findings We included 3849 patients with 3975 study conditions (560 with oesophageal atresia, 448 with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, 681 with intestinal atresia, 453 with gastroschisis, 325 with exomphalos, 991 with anorectal malformation, and 517 with Hirschsprung’s disease) from 264 hospitals (89 in high-income countries, 166 in middleincome countries, and nine in low-income countries) in 74 countries. Of the 3849 patients, 2231 (58·0%) were male. Median gestational age at birth was 38 weeks (IQR 36–39) and median bodyweight at presentation was 2·8 kg (2·3–3·3). Mortality among all patients was 37 (39·8%) of 93 in low-income countries, 583 (20·4%) of 2860 in middle-income countries, and 50 (5·6%) of 896 in high-income countries (p<0·0001 between all country income groups). Gastroschisis had the greatest difference in mortality between country income strata (nine [90·0%] of ten in lowincome countries, 97 [31·9%] of 304 in middle-income countries, and two [1·4%] of 139 in high-income countries; p≤0·0001 between all country income groups). Factors significantly associated with higher mortality for all patients combined included country income status (low-income vs high-income countries, risk ratio 2·78 [95% CI 1·88–4·11], p<0·0001; middle-income vs high-income countries, 2·11 [1·59–2·79], p<0·0001), sepsis at presentation (1·20 [1·04–1·40], p=0·016), higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score at primary intervention (ASA 4–5 vs ASA 1–2, 1·82 [1·40–2·35], p<0·0001; ASA 3 vs ASA 1–2, 1·58, [1·30–1·92], p<0·0001]), surgical safety checklist not used (1·39 [1·02–1·90], p=0·035), and ventilation or parenteral nutrition unavailable when needed (ventilation 1·96, [1·41–2·71], p=0·0001; parenteral nutrition 1·35, [1·05–1·74], p=0·018). Administration of parenteral nutrition (0·61, [0·47–0·79], p=0·0002) and use of a peripherally inserted central catheter (0·65 [0·50–0·86], p=0·0024) or percutaneous central line (0·69 [0·48–1·00], p=0·049) were associated with lower mortality. Interpretation Unacceptable differences in mortality exist for gastrointestinal congenital anomalies between lowincome, middle-income, and high-income countries. Improving access to quality neonatal surgical care in LMICs will be vital to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 of ending preventable deaths in neonates and children younger than 5 years by 2030

A Umbanda nos romances espíritas kardecistas

n anthropology, religion can be seen as a cultural system that encompasses a whole range of symbols and signification, where meaning relations regarding life are built; as stated by Geertz, religion produces an ethos and a worldview. This study aimed to analyze Umbanda (a Brazilian spiritualist religion) as it appears in spiritist novels, in search of moral and cognitive aspects that inform them, in this case, seeking the spiritist view of Umbanda, positivity or negativity attributed to it and the arguments which were used to justify such ratings. The chosen texts allowed the examination between descriptions and excerpts from these novels and descriptions and excerpts with reference to Umbanda produced by the academic literature. This strategy allowed us to deepen our analysis and, going a little beyond the novels, to introduce a more critical consideration. With the purpose of reading and analyzing the texts, we previously set some markers: birth of Umbanda, obsession or encosto (a discarnate to incarnate relation that works as a jinx); syncretism; and health-disease process. The explicability offered by Spiritualism shows all its strength to those going through mishaps (death, loss, illness, etc.); and descriptions of Umbanda performances and Spiritism are also seen in this context as a sum of individual actions in benefit of the incarnated and discarnated individuals.Para a Antropologia, a religião pode ser vista como um sistema cultural que engloba todo um conjunto de símbolos e significados, onde são contruídas relações de sentido para a vida; como afirma Geertz, a religião produz um ethos e uma visão de mundo. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a Umbanda tal como aparece em romances espíritas, buscando os aspectos morais e cognitivos que os informam, neste caso buscando, na visão espírita do umbandismo, a positividade ou a negatividade a ele atribuídas e os argumentos usados para justificar tais avaliações. Os textos escolhidos permitiram o cotejamento entre as descrições e recortes feitos nesses romances e as descrições e recortes da Umbanda apresentados pela literatura acadêmica. Esta estratégia permitiu aprofundar nossa análise e, indo um pouco além dos romances, introduzir uma reflexão mais crítica. Para a leitura e análise dos textos estabelecemos previamente alguns marcadores: nascimento da Umbanda; obsessão ou encosto; sincretismo; processo saúde-doença. A explicabilidade oferecida pelo Espiritismo mostra toda sua força para as pessoas que vivem infortúnios (morte, perdas, doenças,entre outros) e as descrições das atuações da Umbanda e do Espiritismo são vistas nesse contexto como uma soma de ações em benefícios dos indivíduos encarnados e desencarnados
