OBJECTIVES: To identify the seroprevalence of asymptomatic individuals in areas of disease transmission and analyze the environmental, socioeconomic and demographic risk factors in the municipality of Petrolina/PE, Brazil. METHODS: We approached 92 individuals in 19 localities with VL cases recorded in the Information System for Notifiable Diseases (SINAN) between 2016 and 2017. In each visit, two questionnaires were applied seeking to obtain clinical, social, economic and environmental variables. Viable blood samples collected during the visits (n=90) were submitted to the Indirect Immunofluorescence Reaction to identify anti-Leishmania antibodies. For data analysis, descriptive statistical tests were performed using Stata® 14.0 software. RESULTS: The presence of antibodies was detected in 2.2% (2/90) of the samples, in which one individual presented symptoms and the other was classified as asymptomatic. No risk factors related to the presence of anti-Leishmania antibodies were identified. CONCLUSION: The identification of one asymptomatic individual reinforces the importance of expanding human prevalence studies in endemic areas. Despite the low prevalence, it was possible to identify a possible case with manifestation of the clinical form of chronic VL that needs proper care.

OBJECTIVES: To describe the epidemiological profile of patients aged 60 years or older with AML treated at a referral hospital in the ABC region in Sao Paulo, Brazil, assessing the impact of the therapeutic strategy on the overall survival (OS) of this cohort. METHODs: Descriptive retrospective cohort study evaluating patients treated at Mario Covas State Hospital (HEMCO), for a period of 8 years, divided into groups according to the applied therapy. RESULTS: A total of 44 patients were evaluated. There were no significant differences in OS when groups of patients treated in an intensive and non-intensive way were compared. However, there was a strong tendency, in patients older than 70 years, to present better results when submitted to reduced doses of QT. Regarding mortality, in the first month it was slightly higher in the subgroup of intensive chemotherapy, reflecting mortality related to induction, but the values tend to be equal in the first year. CONCLUSION: The results obtained allow us to know the epidemiological profile and the evolution of the treatment in elderly patients diagnosed with AML treated in a reference unit for acute leukemia in a developing country.

OBJECTIVES: To review, identify, and describe the imaging features of congenital zika virus syndrome. METHODS: This is a review with emphasis on magnetic resonance (MRI) and its findings in the diagnosis of congenital zika virus syndrome. Articles, published in the last five years, were searched in PubMed databases. With the descriptors "Zika Virus Infection", "Zika Virus" and "Diagnostic imaging". RESULTS: Twenty-four articles that approached MRI as a complementary tool to ultrasound findings were analyzed. In the fetal period, it is considered better to evaluate abnormalities such as: polymicrogyria, opercular dysplasia, lisencephaly-pachygyria and ventriculomegaly. In the postnatal period it presents high sensitivity and specificity, being the method of choice in the late suspicion of congenital syndrome of ZIKV, in the images it is possible to visualize craniofacial disproportion, microcephaly, cerebral atrophy and reduction of cerebral cortical thickness. CONCLUSION: MRI shows as an important diagnostic method of morphological changes related to zika virus syndrome, contributing to the detailed study of congenital malformations, thus affecting maternal and child health and quality of life.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate epidemiological, clinical, and prognostic profile of patients with acute vascular abdomen (AVA), framed as acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) undergoing surgery. METHODS: Medical records of patients with AMI, who underwent surgery at Hospital Sancta Maggiore, São Paulo/SP, Brazil; between January 2017 to August 2021, were reviewed. For data analysis, the SPSS program version 18.0, independent Student t-test and Chi-square tests were used. RESULTS: Eighteen patients with a median age of 78 years were selected. The main personal history was hypertension and 63% reported severe abdominal pain on admission. 47% had door-to-surgery time less than 1 day, with surgical time less than 1 hour in 44% of cases. 31% stayed in the ward for more than 7 days and 40% stayed in the ICU for 1 to 3 days. 67% of the patients died. There were no significant differences between severe and extremely severe patients. In the elderly, AVA stands out as a rare condition with high mortality, tends to be more incident and may mimic acute abdomen: obstructive, inflammatory and/or perforative. CONCLUSION: AVA is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge with likely future increased incidence. It is up to surgeons to obtain the necessary knowledge to diagnose and treat it to decrease its morbidity and mortality.
目的:评估急性血管性腹(AVA)患者的流行病学、临床和预后特征，并将其定义为急性肠系膜缺血(AMI)。方法:在巴西圣保罗/SP圣马焦雷医院(Hospital Sancta Maggiore)接受手术的AMI患者病历;在2017年1月至2021年8月期间进行了审查。数据分析采用SPSS 18.0版软件，采用独立学生t检验和卡方检验。结果:18例患者入选，中位年龄78岁。主要的个人病史是高血压，63%的患者在入院时报告严重腹痛。47%的患者手术时间少于1天，44%的患者手术时间少于1小时。住院7天以上的占31%，ICU住院1 ~ 3天的占40%。67%的患者死亡。重度与极重度患者间无显著性差异。在老年人中，AVA是一种罕见的疾病，死亡率高，往往更偶然，可能类似急腹症:梗阻性，炎症性和/或穿孔性。结论:AVA是一个诊断和治疗的挑战，未来的发病率可能会增加。这取决于外科医生获得必要的知识来诊断和治疗它，以减少其发病率和死亡率。

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to identify the main adverse drug events (ADEs), and its severity in patients of a large public hospital in São Paulo city using trigger tools and to evaluate its performance. METHODS: This is a prospective study with adults hospitalized in the units of Surgical Center, Medical Clinic, Intensive Care Unit, Adult Emergency Room and Obstetrics, during a period of two months (May to June 2021). Clinical records were reviewed using eleven different trigger tools selected from the Global Trigger Tools of the Institute of Healthcare and adapted to the Hospital reality. Only trigger medications were used. The active search was performed using Hospital’s computerized system and when the prescription of a trigger drug was identified, the pharmacist analyzed the patient’s medical record. RESULTS: There were identified 183 patients with trigger medication prescription. Of these 14,7% presented adverse drug event and were admitted at Medical Clinic (48%). The ADEs identified were pruritus/ skin rash, coumarin poisoning/bleeding, anaphylaxis, excessive sedation, and headache. Considering the severity, 93,6% were moderate and 3,7% severe. The drugs with highest incidence of ADEs were morphine and warfarin. The best performing trigger tools were protamine and flumazenil, and the lowest performing were hydrocortisone and promethazine. CONCLUSION: Trigger tools can be used to identify adverse drug reactions. Its use in hospitals improve patients’ medication safety.

OBJECTIVE: Covid-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 began in Wuhan, China and in a short time spread across the world, becoming a pandemic. With this problematization, several governments adopted policies such as social isolation in an effort to reduce infection rates, and limiting the spread of the disease, especially in populations at greater risk, such as older adults. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the pandemic on the mental health of older adults. METHODS: A quantitative, cross-sectional, analytical observational study was carried out, with a population of older adults (over 65 years old), from the city of São Paulo - SP, Brazil; through an online questionnaire (Google Forms®) guided by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ- 9), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI), and the Beck Anxiety Scale (BAI). In the statistical analysis, the Mann Whitney test was used, considering p<0.05. RESULTS: A total of 208 older people answered the questionnaire, 33% men and 67% women, of whom 30% lived alone. There was a statistically significant association between sex and feeling alone (p= 0.015) and in considering that professional help, even if virtual, would minimize the effects of social isolation (p=0.030), with evidence of this relationship among women. CONCLUSION: It is concluded that the older population deserves attention with regard to mental health care during the pandemic, due to the consequences of social isolation. It is inferred that older adults have a critical sense of their own mental health, signaling the need for social and clinical assistance.

OBJECTIVE: Identify changes in the eating pattern and behavior of health professionals faced with the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: This is a field study, quantitative, descriptive, and exploratory, with a sample composed of 23 health professionals from different categories working in the Intensive Care and Emergency sector. The collection instrument consisted of an electronic questionnaire with objective questions, structured in four parts: Personal Information, Eating Habits and Food Frequency Questionnaire, Life Habits, Self-Assessment and Body Image. RESULTS: In total, 8.7% of the participants did not change their diet after the pandemic began, 13% reported increased consumption of homemade meals and natural foods, 39.1% increased the number of meals eaten outside the home, and 52.2% increased their consumption of ready meals, fast food, and delivery. The following groups stand out: reduced consumption of salad and cooked vegetables, legumes and oilseeds; maintenance in the consumption of meat and eggs, sweets, and tubers; and increased consumption of dairy products, fried foods, and sausages. In the Physical Activity category, the majority of participants (43.5%) claim to have stopped or reduced their practice. In the Alcohol Consumption category, 52.2% reported maintaining their habits, and 39.1% claimed to have increased or started alcohol consumption. In addition, 52.2% perceived weight gain and 56.5% presented worsening eating habits during the pandemic. CONCLUSION: The dietary profile and lifestyle habits being established are an important risk factor for the development of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure, all of which are related to complications from COVID-19.

OBJECTIVE: To identify the perceptions of professionals from the multiprofessional team who work in the intensive care unit, regarding changes in the assistance, professional performance, and daily life in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. METHODS: A qualitative research was carried out, using the methodological framework called Oral History. It was approved by the Research Ethics Committee under opinion 5.012.419 (CAAE: 51317521.3.0000.0073). The main criteria for the sample selection were that these professionals worked in the intensive care unit; before the pandemic period and in the current pandemic scenario we are going through and during daytime hours. The key question of the interview was: What changed in your routine during the covid-19 pandemic? The interview was recorded and later transcribed. From this material content analysis was performed. RESULTS: In this research it was clear that all professionals felt significant changes in their routines, such as work, mental health, and social interactions. In the reports we can understand and feel the anguishes, fears, and future hopes. CONCLUSION: This research gave the professionals of the multiprofessional team of the Intensive Care Unit the opportunity to report their feelings and experiences during the pandemic. It brings relevant changes in their routines and the impacts generated.

OBJECTIVE: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a pandemic disease that poses a public health challenge. This study aimed to trace the epidemiological profile of pregnant women with the HIV virus treated at a high complexity Maternity Hospital in the north of the city of São Paulo – SP, Brazil. METHODS: Data were obtained through an active search in the medical records of hospitalized patients and in the HIV case notification forms, from the Hospital Infection Control Service (SCIH) in the period from 2019 to 2021. RESULTS: The results showed that the majority of the HIV positive pregnant women seen at the maternity hospital during the study period were young, between 21 and 31 years old, 40% were single and 39% said they were in a consensual union, 60% completed only elementary school, most were unemployed, 58.5% declared themselves to be brown, and 35% were diagnosed with HIV during pregnancy. Of the total, 89.4% adhered to treatment and the main route of delivery was vaginal delivery, which demonstrates the adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) prophylaxis. Almost all neonates received antiretroviral prophylaxis. CONCLUSION: Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for the healthy birth of the baby. The data obtained in this study allow us to better understand the profile of HIV-positive pregnant women treated at the maternity ward, and thus to develop assistance programs in the gestation and postpartum period.

OBJECTIVE: Blood donation in Brazil is marked by a turbulent history of decentralized hemotherapy, without efficient policies. Article 64 of Federal Law No. 10,205/2001 requires that, prior to donation, candidates undergo a confidential screening process. This step is subdivided into: registration, and clinical and serological screening. Subsequently, the donor is considered fit, or as presenting permanent or temporary unfitness. Thus, the objective was to compare the main causes of unfitness to donate blood among men and women from blood centers between 2017 and 2020. METHODS: Observational and retrospective study, with a quantitative and qualitative approach. Tabulated information for the years 2017 to 2020 was extracted from the hemocenter database. RESULTS: Analysis was performed by comparing the causes of unfitness, in this case the sum between men and women, between the years 2017 and 2020. Among the 5 causes of unfitness for men, 4 are repeated every year, namely: use of medication, self-medication, and/or effective need for chronic diseases; recent surgery; risky sexual intercourse; arterial hypertension. Among the 5 causes of disability for women, 4 are repeated every year: medication use; recent surgery; low hematocrit/hemoglobin; tattoo/acupuncture/ear lobe piercing. CONCLUSION: When listing the main exclusion factors for donation between the sexes, it is noticeable that the causes remain constant over the years.
