SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC AND BEHAVIORAL FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH BODY ADIPOSITY IN ADULTS

A obesidade é uma condição multicausal, caracterizada pelo excesso de peso, resultante do desequilíbrio do balanço energético. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os fatores sociodemográficos e comportamentais associados ao elevado percentual de gordura corporal (GC) e à obesidade abdominal (OA), numa população adulta, servidores da Universidade Federal do Tocantins. Participaram do estudo 226 servidores, os quais foram submetidos a avaliação antropométrica, e responderam a um questionário socioeconômico e comportamental. As prevalências de sobrepeso e obesidade foram 33,09% e 16,18%, respectivamente, para mulheres e 36,67% e 16,67%, para homens, a OA esteve relacionada à idade em ambos os sexos, a GC diretamente relacionada à idade e escolaridade nos homens. 67,78% dos homens consumiam bebida alcoólica; 46,32% das mulheres eram sedentárias. Nos homens, o tabagismo esteve associado ao aumento do perímetro da cintura (PC). As prevalências de sedentarismo e consumo de bebidas alcoólicas foram consideradas elevadas em relação ao preconizado na literatura. Os percentuais de indivíduos em sobrepeso e obesidade foram maiores entre homens. O PC aumentou conforme aumento da idade nas mulheres. A GC aumentou conforme o grau de escolaridade nos homens. O tabagismo associou-se ao PC elevado nos homens, a prática de atividade física não demostrou-se fator de proteção.Obesity is a multi-causal condition, characterized by excess weight, resulting from energy balance imbalance. The objectives of this study was to evaluate the sociodemographic and behavioral factors associated with the high percentage of body fat (CG) and abdominal obesity (OA) in an adult population, servants of the Federal University of Tocantins. 226 servants participated in the study, who underwent anthropometric assessment and answered a socioeconomic and behavioral questionnaire. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 33.09% and 16.18%, respectively, for women and 36.67% and 16.67%, for men, AO was related to age in both sexes, to BF directly related to age and schooling in men. 67.78% of men consumed alcoholic beverages; 46.32% of the women were sedentary. In men, smoking was associated with increased waist circumference (WC). The prevalence of sedentarism and consumption of alcoholic beverages were considered high in relation to that recommended in the literature. The percentages of individuals in overweight and obesity were higher among men. WC increased with increasing age in women. The BF increased according to the level of schooling in men. Smoking was associated with elevated WC in men; physical activity practice was not a protective factor

Phytochemical study and antioxidant activity of Dalbergia ecastaphyllum

The chemical profile of Dalbergia ecastaphyllum has been indicated as the botanical origin of Brazilian red propolis, an apicultural product with proven therapeutic properties. However, few studies have investigated this plant species. This study evaluated and compared microbiological quality, chemical composition, and antioxidant activity of stem and leaf samples of D. ecastaphyllum. The samples were collected in February 2015, in the southern region of the state of Bahia, Brazil. We performed the microbiological analyses, determined the contents of fatty acid, total phenol and flavonoid, and identified the chemical profile and antioxidant activit. Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp. and sulfite reducing clostridial spores were not detected in the samples. Acids of the family ω3 were recorded in the stems and ω6 in the leaves. The leaves presented better nutritional quality of the fraction, better antioxidant capacity in the tests by the DPPH method and β-carotene bleaching. There were 49 chemical compounds, of which 38 belonged to the class of flavonoids. The results indicate that stems and leaves of D. ecastaphyllum have biological properties. Leaves particularly are better for functional food formulation and as natural antioxidant.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Antioxidant, photoprotective and inhibitory activity of tyrosinase in extracts of Dalbergia ecastaphyllum

Dalbergia ecastaphyllum is a native Brazil plant with importance for beekeeping, and widely used in folk medicine. For the first time, the extracts of this plant were assessed for the presence of hydrophilic and lipophilic antioxidants, as well as inhibition of tyrosinase, free radicals scavenging and sunscreen protection. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by free radical scavenging (DPPH) andβ-carotene bleaching assay. The tyrosinase inhibitory activity was evaluated and calculated the EC50. The photoprotective activity was measured using different concentrations of D. ecastaphyllum extracts. The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of the samples was higher than 6, and the sample from Ilhe ´us showed the most pronounced photoprotective effect. Sample from Canavieiras presented the highest antioxidant activity by free radical scavenging DPPH andβ-carotene bleaching method, with 92.41% and 48.34%, respectively. All samples inhibited the tyrosinase, especially the sample from Prado that was most effective (124.62μg.mL-1). Significant negative correlation was found between flavonoid contents and inhibition of tyrosinase. The overall results provide relevant information about the Dalbergia ecastaphyllum species, indicating as potential material to cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry.We thank MSc Vandira Pereira da Mata for the support during the sample collectioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Dispersão espacial e íncidência epidemiológica da malária na Amazônia Brasileira / Spatial dispersion and epidemiological incidence of malaria in the Brazilian Amazon

A malária é uma doença parasitária causada pela presença do parasita Plasmodium nas células vermelhas do sangue, as principais espécies do protozoário existentes são o Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium malariae, Plasmodium vivax e o Plasmodium falciparum, sendo especificamente o mosquito fêmea Anopheles o responsável pela transmissão da doença. Várias pesquisas já foram realizadas desde a descoberta da doença, voltadas para a busca pela cura de pessoas infectadas com o parasita. Inicialmente, a Quinina foi o fármaco utilizado para o tratamento, porém, devido ao desenvolvimento de resistência pelo parasita, outras substâncias passaram a ser utilizadas e o uso dela na terapia da malária foi suspenso. No momento, a artemisinina é empregada como uma terapia baseada em combinação de artemisinina (ACT), a fim de impedir o surgimento de resistência pelas diferentes espécies do parasita. Nesta revisão bibliográfica, serão apresentados os aspectos históricos, a dispersão espacial e a incidência ecoepidemiológica da malária em diferentes regiões da Amazônia brasileira, bem como o ciclo biológico do parasita em humanos e a resistência que ele vem desenvolvendo aos fármacos utilizados, devido à falta de tratamento adequado e métodos profiláticos medicamentosos na população, tendo em vista que a medicação de tratamento serve também como prevenção e imunização, já que ainda não se tem uma vacina eficaz para proteger a população, a ineficácia de políticas públicas, saneamento básico, além da profilaxia através do uso de mosqueteiros, inseticidas e repelentes, também se contribui para o agravo e para coinfecções, tornado um ciclo constante para as pessoas daquela região

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

A social and ecological assessment of tropical land uses at multiple scales: the Sustainable Amazon Network

Science has a critical role to play in guiding more sustainable development trajectories. Here, we present the Sustainable Amazon Network (Rede Amazonia Sustentavel, RAS): a multidisciplinary research initiative involving more than 30 partner organizations working to assess both social and ecological dimensions of land-use sustainability in eastern Brazilian Amazonia. The research approach adopted by RAS offers three advantages for addressing land-use sustainability problems: (i) the collection of synchronized and co-located ecological and socioeconomic data across broad gradients of past and present human use; (ii) a nested sampling design to aid comparison of ecological and socioeconomic conditions associated with different land uses across local, landscape and regional scales; and (iii) a strong engagement with a wide variety of actors and non-research institutions. Here, we elaborate on these key features, and identify the ways in which RAS can help in highlighting those problems in most urgent need of attention, and in guiding improvements in land-use sustainability in Amazonia and elsewhere in the tropics. We also discuss some of the practical lessons, limitations and realities faced during the development of the RAS initiative so far.Keywords: Social–ecological systems, Tropical forests, Land use, Interdisciplinary research, Sustainability, Trade-off

Rationale, study design, and analysis plan of the Alveolar Recruitment for ARDS Trial (ART): Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with high in-hospital mortality. Alveolar recruitment followed by ventilation at optimal titrated PEEP may reduce ventilator-induced lung injury and improve oxygenation in patients with ARDS, but the effects on mortality and other clinical outcomes remain unknown. This article reports the rationale, study design, and analysis plan of the Alveolar Recruitment for ARDS Trial (ART). Methods/Design: ART is a pragmatic, multicenter, randomized (concealed), controlled trial, which aims to determine if maximum stepwise alveolar recruitment associated with PEEP titration is able to increase 28-day survival in patients with ARDS compared to conventional treatment (ARDSNet strategy). We will enroll adult patients with ARDS of less than 72 h duration. The intervention group will receive an alveolar recruitment maneuver, with stepwise increases of PEEP achieving 45 cmH(2)O and peak pressure of 60 cmH2O, followed by ventilation with optimal PEEP titrated according to the static compliance of the respiratory system. In the control group, mechanical ventilation will follow a conventional protocol (ARDSNet). In both groups, we will use controlled volume mode with low tidal volumes (4 to 6 mL/kg of predicted body weight) and targeting plateau pressure <= 30 cmH2O. The primary outcome is 28-day survival, and the secondary outcomes are: length of ICU stay; length of hospital stay; pneumothorax requiring chest tube during first 7 days; barotrauma during first 7 days; mechanical ventilation-free days from days 1 to 28; ICU, in-hospital, and 6-month survival. ART is an event-guided trial planned to last until 520 events (deaths within 28 days) are observed. These events allow detection of a hazard ratio of 0.75, with 90% power and two-tailed type I error of 5%. All analysis will follow the intention-to-treat principle. Discussion: If the ART strategy with maximum recruitment and PEEP titration improves 28-day survival, this will represent a notable advance to the care of ARDS patients. Conversely, if the ART strategy is similar or inferior to the current evidence-based strategy (ARDSNet), this should also change current practice as many institutions routinely employ recruitment maneuvers and set PEEP levels according to some titration method.Hospital do Coracao (HCor) as part of the Program 'Hospitais de Excelencia a Servico do SUS (PROADI-SUS)'Brazilian Ministry of Healt
