OBJETIVO: O presente estudo realizou diagnóstico molecular e analisou fatores de risco associados à infecção de Leishmania spp. Hemoplasmas, Bartonella spp. e Pan-coronavírus em gatos do Nordeste do Brasil. MÉTODOS: Foram obtidas 127 amostras sanguíneas e 52 amostras de swabs retal de gatos domiciliados e errantes que foram extraídas e submetidas à PCR convencional (cPCR) com alvo na região kDNA de Leishmania spp. e do gene gltA de Bartonella spp.; e triadas por PCR em tempo real (qPCR) direcionado para o gene 16S rRNA de hemoplasmas. Amostras de RNA extraídas dos sobrenadantes de suspensões fecais foram submetidas à cPCR visando gene pan-coronavírus nsp12. RESULTADOS: A frequência de positividade foi de 12,6% (16/127) para hemoplasmas e 4,7% (6/127) para Leishmania spp., sendo identificada co-positividade para ambos os agentes em 0,79% (1/127) dos gatos avaliados. As amostras para Bartonella spp. e pan-coronavírus não foram amplificadas. Dos animais positivos para Leishmania e hemoplasma, 66,6% (4/6) e 81,2% (13/16), apresentaram maior frequência de sinais clínicos como: êmese, apatia e pirexia. CONCLUSÃO: Este estudo relata, pela primeira vez, coinfecção por Leishmania spp. e hemoplasmas em gatos da mesorregião do São Francisco, Nordeste do Brasil, expressando risco no subdiagnóstico de doenças felinas relevantes em saúde pública.

OBJECTIVE: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a severe vector-borne and zoonotic disease transmitted by phlebotomine sand flies. In the New World, is caused by the protozoan Leishmania infantum, having a great burden on human and animal health. Besides, environmental, and socioeconomic factors are significantly associated with the epidemiological pattern of the disease. VL continues to expand worldwide and in Brazil this situation is no different, reaching territories where it did not occur before, especially among marginalized populations in peri-urban areas. From a one health perspective, this paper details the first environmental health survey in one of the Brazilian marginalized communities, considered a new focus of VL.METHODS: In a qualitative approach, we combine entomological collections, records, and field observations to provide a comprehensive assessment of environmental conditions. RESULTS: The results highlight the need for monitoring the sand fly species found, as well as further studies for the real delimitation of their roles in the transmission of Le. infantum. The findings also suggest that bad housing conditions, lack of sanitation and the presence of arthropod vectors were associated with the occurrence of VL. Yet, we argue that many of the results found are quite similar across regions, and that the findings are not just a regional report but can reflect the reality of different parts of Brazil and the world.CONCLUSION: A one health approach is essential to truly face VL, addressing the health risks at the animal–human–ecosystems interface, without ignoring the social context involved. DESCRIPTORS: One health, Environmental health, Neglected tropical diseases, Health inequalities, Leishmaniasis, Vectors, Sand flies.

OBJECTIVES: Vestibular migraine is the leading cause of episodic vertigo and the second most common cause of dizziness in adults, due to its high prevalence, negative impacts on individual health, and increased public health expenditures, preventive treatment should be implemented early. This paper aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Flunarizine as a preventive for vestibular migraine crises in comparison to other drugs. METHODS: We searched the databases for scientific articles using the terms (vestibular migraine OR migrainous vertigo) AND (Flunarizine) AND (prophylaxis). Subsequently, a systematic literature review and meta-analysis was performed, with the inclusion of 3 randomized clinical trials. The studies were analysed by making a ROB table, analysis using the GRADE method, and meta-analysis. RESULTS: Qualitatively, the analysis showed that Flunariniza was positive for decreasing the frequency of vertigo in cases of vestibular migraine, with moderate degree of evidence, relative risk of 0.34 and confidence interval 0.15 to 0.76. The meta-analysis showed a positive result of Flunarizine as a preventive drug for the study population. No serious side effects were reported from the use of the medication, which makes it safe for use by patients. CONCLUSION: Flunarizine is a good drug for prevention of vestibular migraine.

OBJECTIVE: We carried out an exploratory study to determine the infection with Trypanosoma cruzi in the gray fox (U. cinereoargenteus) and the southern spotted skunk (S. angustifrons) in Yucatan, Mexico. METHODS: We used samples from various organs (heart, skeletal muscle, kidney, spleen, liver, esophagus, and stomach) corresponding to individuals of gray fox and spotted skunk, captured in the peridomicile of eight rural localities of Yucatan between the period 1990–2008. The presence of T. cruzi DNA in tissue samples was determined by PCR technique and histopathology study. RESULTS: All the individuals studied had at least one tissue sample with T. cruzi DNA. The esophagus (9/13), heart (7/13), and skeletal muscle (6/13) were the organs with the highest frequency of T. cruzi DNA. No nests of amastigotes were found, however, microscopic observation revealed lesions characteristic of T. cruzi infection, such as inflammatory infiltrate by lymphocytes and histiocytes with or without necrosis of cardiomyocytes cells, and proliferation of fibrocytes, fibroblasts and collagen fibers (fibrosis). CONCLUSIONS: Our results confirm that these two wild carnivores are natural hosts for T. cruzi in Yucatan, Mexico. The synanthropic behavior of these two mammals in Yucatan makes it necessary to focus future studies on their role within the rural peridomiciliary transmission cycle of T. cruzi in the Yucatan Peninsula.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of Mindfulness practice applied in an 8-week program in university students. METHODS: An intervention study was carried out, with a convenience sample and voluntary participation of students, enrolled for an 8-week program of Mindfulness practices. The following questionnaires were used: sociodemographic profile; perception of self-satisfaction; Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21); and Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ-BR), both in an adapted and validated version for Brazilian Portuguese. The questionnaires were completed anonymously at the beginning and end of the program. RESULTS: The participants were 58 university students from the psychology course, between the 1st and 10th semesters, aged between 18 and 60 years. To minimally evaluate the pilot project, it was necessary for each participant to attend at least 5 meetings. Those that did not reach this minimum participation were not considered in the final comparative results. Finally, 16 participants were included in the study analyses. The mean was used to compare the initial and final results of the questionnaires. The comparisons showed a reduction in the severity levels of the symptoms of stress, depression, and anxiety, as well as an improvement in the majority of the Mindfulness scores obtained in the facets. CONCLUSION: The application of the 8-week Mindfulness program to university students led to suggested benefits, such as a probable reduction in scores obtained in the assessment of symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression, improvement in general mindfulness and self-perception, and greater satisfaction with life itself.

OBJECTIVE: Analyse in the literature, the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and the development of cardiac or vascular dysfunctions, in individuals hospitalized in intensive care units (ICU), due to Covid-19. METHODS: Integrative literature review, carried out in the databases: BVS: BDENF and LILACS; PuBMED: MEDLINE; Web of Science and CINAHL. Inclusion criteria, full-text articles, in Portuguese, English or Spanish, published from 2019 onwards. RESULTS: Six articles were selected, and three central themes listed: patients with previous CVD; patients who developed heart or vascular diseases during hospitalization; and patients who presented alterations in biomarkers of cardiac injury and fibrin degradation. A prevalence of CVD between 0 and 29% of the studies was observed, as coronary diseases, arrhythmias, valvular and ventricular dysfunctions, and the incidence of CVD between 2.6 and 59%, presenting electrical, functional, structural alterations and cardiogenic shock. CONCLUSION: An important percentage of patients with Covid-19, admitted to the ICU, who had previous CVD and who developed CVD were identified. However, until the end of this study, there weren’t studies in which 100% of the sample had previous CVD, which would be important for understanding the possible impairments under it. Even as, research that specified the types of involvement developed, named only as “cardiac injuries” or biomarkers increased. As limitations of this study, we emphasize that new research was carried out after its conclusion, which will certainly add better knowledge. This way, the concern about the severity in which Covid-19 can affect people with previous CVD and its cardiovascular manifestations remains.

METHODS: Integrative literature review, carried out in the databases: BVS: BDENF and LILACS; PuBMED: MEDLINE; Web of Science and CINAHL. Inclusion criteria, full-text articles, in Portuguese, English or Spanish, published from 2019 onwards. RESULTS: Six articles were selected, and three central themes listed: patients with previous CVD; patients who developed heart or vascular diseases during hospitalization; and patients who presented alterations in biomarkers of cardiac injury and fibrin degradation. A prevalence of CVD between 0 and 29% of the studies was observed, as coronary diseases, arrhythmias, valvular and ventricular dysfunctions, and the incidence of CVD between 2.6 and 59%, presenting electrical, functional, structural alterations and cardiogenic shock. CONCLUSION: An important percentage of patients with Covid-19, admitted to the ICU, who had previous CVD and who developed CVD were identified. However, until the end of this study, there weren’t studies in which 100% of the sample had previous CVD, which would be important for understanding the possible impairments under it. Even as, research that specified the types of involvement developed, named only as “cardiac injuries” or biomarkers increased. As limitations of this study, we emphasize that new research was carried out after its conclusion, which will certainly add better knowledge. This way, the concern about the severity in which Covid-19 can affect people with previous CVD and its cardiovascular manifestations remains.","PeriodicalId":285800,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Global Health","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131586059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

OBJECTIVE: To systematize the main actions and interventions of Food and Nutrition Education for schoolchildren and describe the activities found in the national literature. METHODS: Non-systematized literature review on schoolchild feeding education, using the following criteria: articles published in national journals, theses, dissertations, and books on the subject between 2009 and 2022. RESULTS: In Brazil, food is a right provided for as promulgated in the Federal Constitution since 1988, ensuring the right to school feeding to all students in elementary school through a supplementary school feeding program to be offered by the federal, state, and municipal governments, and since February 2010, food was included among the social rights provided for in Article 6 of the Federal Constitution defined by the Organic Law of Food and Nutrition Security. However, there are still challenges facing its realization. CONCLUSION: Nutrition Education actions are important because they have benefits for the health of children and promote early food awareness. However, although it is a mandatory item in the educational curriculum to talk about healthy eating according to the guidelines of the Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), this subject is not so deep and addressed in studies since it is difficult to select articles, because besides being mandatory in the educational curricula of schools to teach and practice healthy eating, perhaps not at the level of depth and update desired by the authors. Nutrition Education should be an integral part of the mandatory subjects, especially for students in the early stages of education, also reaching those who live with them and society in general.
