OBJECTIVE: Many psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia can start with attenuated psychotic symptoms and / or declining social and occupational functions. People who present with these “prodromal” characteristics are described as being at Ultra High Risk (UHR) for psychosis. Due to the impact that these disorders have on their quality of life, it is important to review the existing literature. The aim was to conduct an integrative review on UHR and its impact on the quality of life in children and adolescents. METHODS: Searched for articles in the Pubmed database in the period 2010-2019 with the following descriptors: "Psychotic Disorders", "Risk Factors", "Schizophrenia", "Clinical Diagnosis". RESULTS: The search selected 10 articles and an Australian guideline Orygen, of which seven were selected for the present review after analysis. According to the results found, several psychotic disorders may have prodromal characteristics that are the same as Ultra High Risk (UHR). CONCLUSION: Patients with psychosis have worsened quality of life and more unfavorable prognosis, therefore, UHR present an opportunity for intervention to prevent the onset of the first psychotic episode. In clinical trials conducted with UHR patients, both the duration and periods of intervention have been relatively short. Thus, the question remains whether this intervention in the productive phase is effective over time. There should be more discussion about the cost benefit of treatments in UHR patients.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the understanding of health professionals in an Intensive Care Unit about the meaning of health promotion. ETHODS: This study has a qualitative approach with thematic analysis. The study subjects included 24 professionals with higher education: six doctors, six nurses, six physiotherapists, one psychologist, one speech therapist, one nutritionist, one social worker, and two pharmacists. The data collection took place between the months of November and December 2016, using semi-structured research, and the interviews were transcribed in full. The data analyses were carried out from the content analysis. RESULTS: The results present eight nuclei of meanings/pre-categories: I) lack of repertoire; II) health promotion as guidance; III) generalization for well-being; IV) health promotion and multidisciplinary team; V) health and family promotion; VI) difficulties of professionals; VII) health promotion in treatment; and VIII) health promotion as a form of care. CONCLUSIONS: There is still a long way to go to achieve the development of health promotion in the context of the Intensive Care Unit, especially because the health practices established in patient care are centered on the physical aspects of the condition.

OBJECTIVE: The current study aimed to establish if there is a relationship between domestic violence and school performance of children and adolescents, through verification of the interpersonal relationships in the family context, the most frequent types of domestic violence, and the school performance of victimized/non-victimized children and adolescents. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out, in which data were collected through a Sociodemographic Characterization Questionnaire and the Inventory of Questions for the Diagnosis of Domestic Violence in Children and Adolescents, which was developed for this study. All ethical principles recommended in research involving human beings were complied with, ensuring the secrecy and confidentiality of the data obtained. RESULTS: The analysis of the data suggests that Domestic Violence is related to the level of school performance of children and adolescents. In addition, the type of domestic violence identified in this population was verbal/psychological. Regarding school performance, the sample attained average and below average results. CONCLUSION: Domestic violence can impact the school performance of children and adolescents. The sample of subjects studied enables us to reflect on the silence that plagues society when addressing the issue of domestic violence against children and adolescents in its multiple contexts, especially in the school space and in the family environment.

OBJECTIVE: Leptospirosis and toxoplasmosis are cosmopolitan zoonoses affecting domestic and wild animals that can inhabit urban environments acting as reservoirs of infectious agents, increasing the risk of zoonotic diseases transmission to humans. The present study aimed to detect serum antibodies to Leptospira spp. and Toxoplasma gondii in captive wild animals from the Zoobotanical Park, located in the city of Petrolina, State of Pernambuco, Brazil. METHODS: Samples were collected from 72 wild animals, including 12 mammals, 26 birds, and reptiles. Serological diagnosis for anti-T. gondii antibody detection was performed on birds and mammals using the modified agglutination test (MAT Toxo). Anti-Leptospira spp. antibodies were detected in reptiles and mammals by microscopic agglutination test (MAT Lepto). RESULTS: The occurrence of T. gondii antibodies was 56.4% (22/39), with positive animals from the genera: Procyon cancryvorus (1/2), Ara ararauna (4/4), Patagioenas picazuro (5/5), Amazona aestiva (5/5), Aratinga acuticaudata (3/3), Tayassu tajacu (2/2), Nasua nasua (1/1) and Cerdocyon thous (1/1). Anti-Leptospira spp. antibodies were found in 4.4% (2/45) of the animals, with one out of the two Tamandua tetradactyla positive for the subgroup Australis and one out of the 23 Geochelone carbonaria positive for the subgroup Hebdomadis. CONCLUSION: Captive wild animals from zoos can take part in the life cycle of these agents, acting as reservoirs, thus assuming an important role in the epidemiological chain of these important zoonotic agents.

OBJETIVO: As leishmanioses são antropozoonoses consideradas um grande problema de saúde pública e representam um complexo de doenças com importante espectro clínico e diversidade epidemiológica. A leishmaniose visceral é uma doença severa com ampla distribuição geográfica, com uma incidência de dois milhões de casos por ano e 350 milhões de pessoas em áreas de risco, sendo causada pela espécie Leishmania infantum, que possui nos canídeos domésticos o grupo mais importante de reservatórios envolvidos na manutenção da infecção. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a presença de parasitas do gênero Leishmania spp. no município de Itapecerica da Serra, Cotia e Juquitiba, municípios da região metropolitana de São Paulo, Brasil. MÉTODOS: Foi realizado o diagnóstico molecular, sorológico e parasitológico (isolamento) em 153 amostras de cães oriundos de abrigos. RESULTADOS: O diagnóstico sorológico apresentou 9,8% (15/153) de positividade para a pesquisa de anticorpos anti-Leishmania e o diagnóstico molecular específico para Leishmania infantum apresentou 5,2% (8/153) de positividade. O exame parasitológico, nos animais previamente positivos nas metodologias utilizadas no presente estudo, foi realizado através da punção por agulha fina de linfonodo poplíteo e apenas um animal foi positivo do município de Itapecerica da Serra. CONCLUSÃO: Os testes moleculares específicos para Leishmania infantum corroboraram a presença e circulação do agente nos municípios que integram a região metropolitana de São Paulo. Adicionalmente, desperta a particular atenção para uma nova classificação epidemiológica do município de Itapecerica de Serra, contribuindo com a atualização nas medidas de vigilância epidemiológica da doença no município.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to determine the current seroprevalence of canine leishmaniasis (CanL) among domiciled dogs, factors associated with seropositivity, circulating Leishmania species and spatial analysis, in six municipalities in the Sertão and São Francisco mesoregions, which are located in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. METHODS: Blood samples from 330 dogs were analyzed using serological and molecular assays: dual path platform (DPP®); enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The nucleotide sequences of four gene markers (kDNA, cathepsin L-like, SSU-rDNA and gGAPDH) were explored to perform a phylogenetic analysis. RESULTS: The overall seroprevalence was 13% (43/330) in dogs that were simultaneously positive according to DPP® ELISA and IFAT, consisting of 13.9% (23/165) in Sertão and 12.1% (20/165) in São Francisco. The factors associated with high prevalence of L. infantum antibodies in dogs comprised living in the municipality of Petrolina (P = 0.045) and presenting ocular lesions (P = 0.049) (P ≤ 0.05). Significant clusters of positive dogs were found in rural areas. The positivity values obtained through PCR based on the genes kDNA and cathepsin L-like were 6.7% (22/330) and 2.4% (8/330), respectively. In the phylogenetic analysis, it was observed that all the isolates obtained showed 100% similarity to Leishmania infantum. CONCLUSION: For the first time, L. infantum was confirmed as the etiological agent of CanL in this region. Thus, assessment of the genetic structure of populations of Leishmania spp. is important for understanding the patterns for transmission of CanL.

OBJECTIVE: Identify in the national scientific literature what difficulties the family faces in the care of elderly people with Alzheimer's Disease (AD). METHODS: Integrative literature review carried out between the months of March and September 2020 on the Regional Portal of the Virtual Health Library (VHL) and on the directory of Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) journals using descriptors contained in the DECS and keywords, respecting the characteristics of the portal and the directory. RESULTS: Fifteen studies were selected, read in full and two categories were created for similarity of content, namely: (1) Weariness of family caregivers - From the feeling of imprisonment to the burden generated by care; (2) Family relationships and feelings related to care. CONCLUSION: Care is based on love, affection, recognition and retribution. Creating a care network for the whole family is necessary in order to alleviate the suffering of the whole family.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the difficulties faced by the public and private systems’ healthcare systems professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: Through an online form, which was sent to healthcare professionals, it was asked what the main difficulties they had to face during the pandemic were, such as the lack of PPEs, beds, professionals, the large number of patients, as well as the proper training in both the public and private sectors. RESULTS: There 389 forms received. Among the people who answered the form, 256 worked only at the public sector, while only 82 worked at the private sector, and 52 of them worked at both. It was possible to realize the disproportionality of the hardships faced by them in both sectors. Regarding the public workers, 42% of those who answered the form faced lack of PPEs, while this number is only 17.1% when it comes to the private sector. As for the number of infected professionals the public scope was also in disadvantage, 33.6% of them were infected, a larger number compared to the 20.7% that showed up in the private scope. The difference between the lack of beds, however, was not statistically relevant according to the chi-square test. CONCLUSION: We concluded that in many ways, as expected, the members of the public system are in disadvantage when compared to the ones in the private one. Factors such as the lack of PPEs and number of infected professionals were extremely out of proportion between both sectors.

METHODS: Through an online form, which was sent to healthcare professionals, it was asked what the main difficulties they had to face during the pandemic were, such as the lack of PPEs, beds, professionals, the large number of patients, as well as the proper training in both the public and private sectors. RESULTS: There 389 forms received. Among the people who answered the form, 256 worked only at the public sector, while only 82 worked at the private sector, and 52 of them worked at both. It was possible to realize the disproportionality of the hardships faced by them in both sectors. Regarding the public workers, 42% of those who answered the form faced lack of PPEs, while this number is only 17.1% when it comes to the private sector. As for the number of infected professionals the public scope was also in disadvantage, 33.6% of them were infected, a larger number compared to the 20.7% that showed up in the private scope. The difference between the lack of beds, however, was not statistically relevant according to the chi-square test. CONCLUSION: We concluded that in many ways, as expected, the members of the public system are in disadvantage when compared to the ones in the private one. Factors such as the lack of PPEs and number of infected professionals were extremely out of proportion between both sectors.","PeriodicalId":285800,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Global Health","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122117101","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: Adolescence is characterized by a great psychic fragility resulting from the great instabilities caused by the biopsychosocial changes experienced at this stage of life. This study aimed to identify and compare the socio-cultural risk factors associated with adolescent mental health in a temporal perspective. METHODS: A literature review was conducted between 2001 and 2020 in the following databases: Scielo, Pepsic, LILACS, MEDLINE. The following keywords were used: risk factors, protection factors, mental health, adolescence. RESULTS: It was found that many variables are associated with risk factors that impact the mental health of adolescents. Among the main ones, the various types of violence were highlighted as a factor that can negatively impact the mental health of adolescents. Most of the risk factors identified here, as well as the violence that was pointed out as a risk fact in 2007 and 12 years later, in 2019, continued to be pointed out as a risk factor and is maintained over the years, changing only the circumstances and the means as they permeate the lives of adolescents. CONCLUSION: Knowing the risk factors and protective factors are essential in the formulation of proposals for effective interventions aimed at preventing or mitigating possible mental disorders and psychological suffering in this population.

OBJECTIVE: Entering university is a challenge of autonomy and self/group affirmation. Particular attention should be given to healthy behaviors by all stakeholders and the university environment in general. The current study aimed to investigate the lifestyle of the first year students of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa - Porto (UCP). METHODS: The “FANTASTICO Lifestyle” questionnaire was applied in the “Critical Thinking” teaching sessions. The collected data were treated using the SPSS® program. RESULTS: It was found that although the overall lifestyle of these students is considered “good” with no differences between genders, 7.9% of students are in the lowest values in the category. The items in which the values were most disparate were physical activity/associativism, work/personality type, nutrition, and health/sexual behavior. The heavy weighting of the item “family/friends”stood out. CONCLUSIONS: It was concluded that the “FANTASTICO” was the first step towards a diagnosis and represents a starting point to evaluate the needs of these students. Although the situation can be considered favorable, it is important to begin planning interventions now, whether for promotion of the physical activity/associativism and nutrition component, or for control in the context of tobacco and alcohol consumption.
