OBEJCTIVE: Warfarin is an oral anticoagulant drug that needs continuous clinical and laboratory monitoring due to its narrow therapeutic index and life-threatening complications. This study aims to assess knowledge and adherence of patients to their warfarin treatment regimen and to identify barriers that prevent patients to take their warfarin therapy regularly. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, a systematic random sample of 307 patients was selected from Alshaab teaching hospital heart section and Ahmed Gasim Hospital. Data was collected by anonymous interview-based questionnaires. RESULTS: Male patients (52.5%) exceeded females (44.8%), the mean age was 48.79. About 57.98% of the studied patients had moderate overall knowledge score, and more than half of them had good adherence levels (62.2%). The study shows that: Forgetting (43.7%) was the main barrier preventing the patients from taking their medication, followed by drug unavailability (36.8%) and high cost (19.5%). There are statistically significant differences between patient’s age/education and their level of knowledge (p=0.008/p=0.011). The correlations between patients’ adherence to warfarin oral anticoagulant and their level of knowledge is statistically insignificant (r=0.647, p=0.739). There are significant association between patients' level of adherence and the time from which the patient starts to take warfarin (p-value= .034). CONCLUSION: The majority of the studied patients had moderate overall knowledge score about Warfarin oral anticoagulant, and more than half of them had good adherence levels. “Forgetting” was the main barrier preventing the patients from taking their medication. DESCRIPTORS: Warfarin, Knowledge, Adherence, Barriers.

OBJECTIVE: This work aims to obtain information on the opinion of health professionals and patients regarding the effects of animal assisted therapy/activity (AAT). METHODS: An opinion poll was conducted with the medical team (consisting of: doctors, nurses, psychologists) and patients (male and female gender over 18 years of age) on the use of animal assisted therapy through application through application of the questionnaire by the Google Forms platform, being applied only once; participants were selected for convenience. RESULTS: According to the groups surveyed 65.62% of participants reported already knowing AAT, being better known in the group of health professionals, among these 6.71% have already participated in some intervention of the type. In terms of risk/benefit to AAT, it gives more benefits than risk according to 75.03% of participants. Regarding species considered viable for the application of this therapy, 92.63%of participants believe that the dog would be the most appropriate animal, followed by the cat (66.84%) and the horse (55.66%). According to health professionals, children (90.5%), followed by elderly (87.1%) and autistic (73.6%) are the groups that benefited the most from AAT. CONCLUSION: Through this study it was possible to see that in the general population, men and women, the knowledge of animal assisted therapy is still little widespread when compared to health professionals. In addition, studies focused on proof of physiological benefits to the patient are still incipient and have limitations on the number of participants and methodology.

OBJECTIVE: Trypanosoma theileri is the type species of the subgenus Megatrypanum, first registered in cattle in South Africa and East Africa. Cattle farms in the extreme south of the municipality of São Paulo and Embu-Guaçu, are characterized as subsistence, on small properties, and 500 head of cattle were registered in 2019. This work aimed to evaluate the occurrence of T. theileri in cattle from family farms in the extreme south of the city of São Paulo and in the municipality of Embu-Guaçu, SP, Brazil. METHODS: Parasitological and molecular diagnoses were carried out on samples taken from 68 cattle in small farms in the extreme south of São Paulo. RESULTS: The specific molecular diagnosis of T. theileri was 17.6% positive (12/68) and the parasitological diagnosis was 5.8% (4/68). CONCLUSION: Although considered non-pathogenic, its presence in the host may favor other parasitic and infectious diseases.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate hematological changes in dogs diagnosed with Ehrlichia canis. METHODS: 54 dogs treated at the Veterinary Hospital of the Santo Amaro University were analyzed. During the consultation, the animals' real temperature was measured; and venous blood samples were collected for hemogram; and performed serological and molecular tests, through Immunofluorescence and PCR in real time, respectively. RESULTS: Among the 54 animals suspected of having E. canis, 32 (59.3%) were diagnosed as positive. Of these, 23 (42.6%) were positive only in the serological test, while 9 (16.7%) had positive results in the serological and molecular tests. Thrombocytopenia was the most important alteration found in this study and was the only parameter found in the blood count that showed a statistical difference. CONCLUSION: It was concluded that thrombocytopenia was the main finding in infected animals and that the combination of molecular and serological diagnoses may increase the chances of detection of infection or exposure to the agent.

OBJECTIVE: Early gastric cancer (PGC) is defined as gastric carcinoma, which invades up to the submucosal layer, with or without lymph node metastasis, regardless of the size of the lesion. The 5-year survival rate for tumors restricted to the mucosa is between 92 and 99%, and when they reach the submucosa, it varies from 85 to 93%. The objective is to gather information about PGC and possible endoscopic therapeutic approaches. METHODS: In this review, articles were selected through the PubMed and Google Scholar databases, between the years 2017 and 2021, in English and Portuguese. CONCLUSION: Although the gold standard treatment for PGC is gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy, endoscopic resection has become the approach of choice as it presents results comparable to conventional surgery, in reducing morbidity and mortality, with low complication rates and low cost, as well as preserving the quality of life of the patient. There are two possible techniques: endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). When comparing the two techniques, EMR is not indicated for resecting lesions larger than 2 cm, as it increases the risk of local recurrence. In turn, ESD has higher rates of en bloc resection of larger lesions, however, it is associated with higher perforation rates and a longer procedure time. Follow-up is defined based on the classification of the lesion according to the endoscopic curability index (eCure) A, B, or C. Endoscopic treatment for PGC has replaced conventional surgery as it is a minimally invasive method and has several advantages.

OBJECTIVES: Despite the various goals achieved in the last decade, from the collective effort of several countries and institutions, malaria currently remains one of the infectious diseases with the greatest global impact. In this review, we intend to establish the impact of the measures taken in recent years, as well as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the research into vaccines against malaria. METHODS: This is a review by means of an exploratory study of the scientific literature, which was based on scientific articles and technical guides from international entities. RESULTS: The prevention and treatment of malaria continue to be the most important measures to reduce the mortality and morbidity associated with this disease. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has brought new challenges regarding the distribution of measures of diagnosis, prevention, and treatment, at the same time, it has shown that with collective and organized effort, remarkable advances can be achieved. The recently recommended vaccine outlines a new direction for malaria, potentially contributing to its eradication. CONCLUSION: There is still a long way to go in the fight against this disease, but with the implementation of measures globally, in particular investment in the poorest countries, and with the new tools available, such as vaccines, it is possible to achieve the objectives defined for the coming decades.

OBJECTIVE: The unpredictability of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the socioeconomic dynamics around the world. Preliminary findings suggest that the entire context of the pandemic increases the risk of psychological problems. The child population, although less studied, is also vulnerable to the effects of the pandemic. This review brings together the studies published in 2020 aiming to assess the impact of the pandemic on the child population. METHODS: A total of 15 studies that evaluated the mental health of subjects under 18 years old during the pandemic of COVID-19 were selected and analyzed. RESULTS: There is an increase in anxious and depressive symptoms in the child population and in their caregivers with quarantine, with a high risk of progressing to mental disorders. However, there is no way to assess the prevalence of mental disorders in this population due to the studies being conducted using online questionnaires. CONCLUSION: Health professionals must be alert to the possible presence of anxiety and depressive symptoms secondary to social isolation, especially in children with chronic diseases or in situations of vulnerability. Future studies are needed to determine the prevalence, risk, and possible treatments for stress-related illnesses.

OBJECTIVE: To systematically summarize the literature considering studies that address strength training and its effects on muscle hypertrophy in healthy older people. METHODS: The search was developed on the PubMed platform considering the PICOS strategy. The search date of the selected studies included the last 5 years (01.01.2017 to 07.21.2021). Studies in any language were considered. As eligibility criteria, the studies were required to contain: healthy older people; interventions with strength exercises; outcomes with hypertrophy measures (MRI, ultrasound, etc). RESULTS: In total, 14 studies were included, totaling 470 older individuals (296 participants in the experimental group and 174 participants in the control group), aged between 60 and 80 years. The strength training interventions took place over between 4 and 30 weeks, with sessions from 1 to 7 times a week. Tests of balance, measurement of muscle temperature, capacity and functional performance, and strength tests were also carried out, with the most common being the 1 repetition maximum test (1RM). For the hypertrophy measurements, dual energy X-ray (DXA), ultrasound, bioelectrical impedance, and computed tomography were used. The analyzed studies showed a significant increase in muscle volume in the intervention groups when compared to control groups (follow-up or comparison). However, studies with comparison groups (another strength training strategy or protocol) also showed increases in muscle volume, with no differences between groups. CONCLUSION: Strength training is effective in promoting improvements in muscle volume in older adults.

As eligibility criteria, the studies were required to contain: healthy older people; interventions with strength exercises; outcomes with hypertrophy measures (MRI, ultrasound, etc). RESULTS: In total, 14 studies were included, totaling 470 older individuals (296 participants in the experimental group and 174 participants in the control group), aged between 60 and 80 years. The strength training interventions took place over between 4 and 30 weeks, with sessions from 1 to 7 times a week. Tests of balance, measurement of muscle temperature, capacity and functional performance, and strength tests were also carried out, with the most common being the 1 repetition maximum test (1RM). For the hypertrophy measurements, dual energy X-ray (DXA), ultrasound, bioelectrical impedance, and computed tomography were used. The analyzed studies showed a significant increase in muscle volume in the intervention groups when compared to control groups (follow-up or comparison). However, studies with comparison groups (another strength training strategy or protocol) also showed increases in muscle volume, with no differences between groups. CONCLUSION: Strength training is effective in promoting improvements in muscle volume in older adults.","PeriodicalId":285800,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Global Health","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124754381","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: Analyze the mental health of incarcerated people and how this issue has been addressed among government entities to improve the well-being of these individuals, considering prevalent disorders and socioeconomic factors. METHODS: Research in Pubmed scientific database with the application of the descriptors "mental disorders" and "incarceration”. RESULTS: A great predominance of certain mental disorders among the incarcerated population was observed within the articles analyzed. However, even with some government measures, there’s been identified a gap in public politics to improve and individualize health care. CONCLUSION: The literature analyzed focused the study of the incarcerated population attached to specific diseases and drug abuse, which mostly reinforces stigmas already strongly vinculated to this social group. Nevertheless, it also shown that they need more attention, humanized treatments, security of rights and the government protection over any kind of discrimination. In conclusion, it is yet to determine if the high prevalence of mental disorders in prison can be configured as a precedent or a consequence of incarceration.
