Objetivo: avaliar a função autonômica do coração de crianças sadias em situações de jogos eletrônicos, mediante a análise de Variabilidade da Frequência cardíaca.Métodos: participaram deste estudo 60 crianças sadias, que foram monitoradas por um monitor de frequência cardíaca digital e submetidas ao experimento com o jogo eletrônico. A análise da Variabilidade da Frequência cardíaca foi calculadacom emprego da transformada Wavelet Contínua.Resultados: pode-se observar um aumento na intensidade dos valores de baixa frequência/alta frequência, sugerindo influência das fases do protocolo, de modo que houve uma elevação nos valores da fase de Repouso para a fase de Jogo, mas não foi encontrado um valor significativo. Entre as fases de Repouso (1,52±0,97 ms²) e Recuperação (1,89±1,04 ms²) houve um aumento significativo obtendo um valor de p=0,003. Comparando os valores de baixa frequência/alta frequência entre as fases Jogo 2,37±1,20 ms² e Recuperação 1,89±1,04 ms², verificou-se uma redução significativa da relação (p = 0,016).Conclusão: conclui-se que Jogos eletrônicos podem provocar um aumento da atividade simpática, diminuindo a Variabilidade da Frequência cardíaca das crianças estudadas, sugerindo uma situação estressante.

Introduction: The global pandemic for the new coronavirus has had repercussions in all areas of human activities. Health services are essential for serving the population. However, workers in this sector also deserve attention, the provision of meals being one of those precautions.Aims: This study aims to publicize the actions related to the development of a contingency plan and the provision of meals to workers at a public university hospital in southern Brazil during the coronavirus pandemic.Methods: Study design: descriptive observational. This case study evaluates for the period from March to June 2020 on the evolution of contingency plans in order to guarantee the provision of adequate food and preserve the health of workers in the cafeteria space.Results: The hospital cafeteria served, on average, more than 2,500 lunches before the COVID-19 pandemic began in Brazil. Actions developed by the hospital administration allowed remote work by workers. However, an average of 1,500 lunches is still served daily. In this study, the actions are presented in order to guarantee an adequate environment that does not transmit outbreaks to workers in the hospital environment. Among some actions are issues of menu pattern, guidance, and mandatory handwashing by all users, visual signage on-site, and the internal website, among others.Conclusions: The actions have been effective since there are no records of a COVID-19 outbreak among hospital workers.

AIMS: To establish the frequency potentially inappropriate medications use and the associated factors, such as signs and symptoms of depression and cognitive deficit among middle-aged and elderly people.METHODS: A cross-sectional population study was performed with 2,350 people, aged between 55-103 years, registered in the primary health care. Potentially inappropriate medications were defined by updated 2019 Beers criteria. Studied variables were sociodemographic, lifestyle and health, and signs and symptoms of depression and cognitive deficit. Multinomial regression analysis was executed.RESULTS: The frequency of potentially inappropriate medications use was 65.4%. Former and current smokers, regular self-perception of health, polypharmacy, and individuals with signs and symptoms of depression and cognitive deficit were significantly associated with potentially inappropriate medications use. Antiarrhythmics, antihistamines and antiadrenergic agents were the highest potentially inappropriate medications classes used for individuals with signs and symptoms of depression and cognitive deficit.CONCLUSIONS: The frequency of use of potentially inappropriate medications is high among middle-aged people, a population that was previously under-researched, as well as among elderly people. Cognitive impairment alone or together with depression symptoms were associated factor for a potentially inappropriate medications use. Knowledge of the pharmacoepidemiology of potentially inappropriate medications is an important for the promotion of the rational use of drugs in public health.

Aims: to analyze the current Brazilian and of the state of Rio Grande do Sul epidemiological situation of visceral leishmaniasis (LVH) in the elderly and verifythe mortality coefficient.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with a secondary data source, taken from SINAN data from January 2013 to December 2017, with confirmed visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil and Rio Grande do Sul, which are tabulated in Excel and analyzed with Epiinfo 7.Results: cases of LVH in the elderly have increased in the last 5 years, within the Brazilian and the state of Rio Grande do Sul settings. Although not widely reported, it is frequent to compromise and increase the proportion of elderly people who die from LVH, which was 20,3% of the cases in the period from 2013 to 2017, demonstrating the seriousness of the infection in this public. In our study we also found a strong relation between age and the increase in the lethality coefficient, reaching 46.87% in 2016.Discussion: One of the recent strategies in the fight against HVL is the slaughter of dogs that contains the parasite responsible for the transmission of the disease, but this method of control has not been very effective. Thus, the immunoprophylactic measurement by Leish-Tec® vaccine has a favorable effect in the fight against the disease only in animals that are not in high transmission areas.

Aims: assess the knowledge and attitudes toward corneal donation among health sciences undergraduate students.Methods: this is an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study, that included students enrolled in the undergraduate courses in Speech Therapy, Nutrition and Metabolism, Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy, offered by the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto Medical School (FMRP), University of São Paulo (USP), Ribeirão Preto campus. The students responded to a structured instrument in the classroom. A questionnaire containing 16 items regarding knowledge about corneal transplantation and questions about attitudes towards donation was applied. The questionnaire was based on instruments used in similar studies.Results: 335 students (83.1% female) participated in the research. Only 6.6% reported knowing how to proceed to be a corneal donor, and 55.5% reported knowing that corneal removal can only be performed after the donor’s death. Among the 16 items of the knowledge questionnaire, the students had a mean of only 5.6 correct answers, with a standard deviation of 3.1.Conclusions: the knowledge of the interviewed students about corneal donation is quite unsatisfactory. Given the known shortage of corneas for transplantation, educational actions are needed to make these future professionals able to spread the practice of corneal donation among their future patients and their families.

AIMS: Evaluate the effects of a short-term fatigue protocol on gait’s kinematic parameters of healthy subjects.METHODS: 21 healthy young adults participated in the sample. The parameters of linear kinematics of gait (velocity, cadence, step length, step width, step time) and angular kinematics of gait (hip’s flexion and extension; knee’s flexion and extension; ankle’s dorsiflexion and plantar flexion) were analyzed before and after performing a short-term fatigue protocol. For gait evaluation, a three dimensional gait trajectory capture system was used, consisting of a kinematic system with 7 integrated cameras. The Short-Term Functional Agility Fatigue Protocol, which consists of a short-term global fatigue protocol with series of functional agility exercises, was used to fatigue participants. For comparisons between pre and post fatigue evaluations, the mean values to paired t test, and statistical significance was set as p < 0.05.RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences in the angular and linear parameters evaluated, except for cadence (p = 0.03).CONCLUSIONS: The short-term global fatigue protocol did not alter the angular and kinematic gait parameters in young subjects, except for the cadence, that was higher after the fatigue protocol.

AIM: To analyze the characteristics of asthma among students from metropolitan and agricultural regions.METHODS: Students from both locations answered a questionnaire for epidemiological diagnosis of asthma and clinical characteristics of asthma, rhinitis and atopy according to ISAAC. They were also evaluated by the Asthma Control Test and measure of physical activity.RESULTS: Among the 290 and 123 asthmatics evaluated in the metropolitan region and agricultural region, respectively, the prevalence of asthma was 20.4% and 19.2%. Asthmatics in the agricultural region had a higher frequency of rhinitis (87% vs. 48.8%, p < 0.001) and atopy (81.4% vs. 63.5%, p = 0.005) No difference was observed in disease control measures (51.9% vs. 47.2%, p = 0.378). The combination asthma with Rhinitis or atopy presented significant risk for disease control in schoolchildren in the agricultural region (OR: 2,300; 95% CI: 1,867-2,833).CONCLUSION: There was no difference in asthma frequency and disease control among the students studied. However, the students of agricultural region have higher rates of rhinitis and atopy which negatively interfered with asthma control. These findings suggest that Asthma in populations with different environments have different clinical characteristics, which should be taken into account when defining prevention strategies and clinical management.

AIMS: This study aims to analyze the factors associated with the use of medications to control chronic pain in the elderly, study carried out in the city of São Paulo.METHODS: This a cross-sectional study using data from the Health, Welfare and Ageing Study (SABE), which began in 2000 with reinterviews in 2006 and 2010. For this research, data from elderly people re-interviewed in 2010 were initially used. From this sample, elderly individuals showed chronic pain were selected for the analysis of factors associated with the use of medications for pain control. The Rao Scott test was used to identify these factors. Since this is a study with a complex sample design, estimated sample weights for the 2010 follow-up were considered for all analyses.RESULTS: From the initial sample of 978 elderly people, 303 (30.98%) reportedchronic pain. Among these elderly people, there was a lower frequency of using analgesics for those who reported having made the last medical consultation in a health care/private (OR = 0,55; IC 95%: 0,31-0,96); lower frequency of using antidepressants for those who reported not having health insurance (OR = 0,49; IC 95%: 0,24-0,98); greater use of symptomatic for dyspepsia; for those with regular health self-perception (OR = 2,20; IC 95%: 1,12-4,32); and for those who reported feeling pain daily (OR = 2,24; IC 95%: 1,31-3,81).CONCLUSIONS: Thus, it is concluded that pain is a factor that directly affects the life of the elderly and they often seek relief for their suffering in medications, and the fact of performing medical consultations in a private care or health service increases the frequency of use of certain medications.
