ABSTRACT

A recomendação ética do psicólogo para intervir criticamente sobre a demanda vai de encontro com a tarefa de diagnosticar atos de Alienação Parental e, num sentido amplo, com a judicialização das relações privadas. A genealogia de Foucault consiste num método capaz de lançar luz sobre as práticas de poder na base dos discursos relacionados ao tema da alienação parental. O eufemismo pedagógico empregado para designar as sanções da lei tem como finalidade estratégica o convencimento a respeito de supostos benefícios da tutela sobre as famílias, ao mesmo tempo em que lhes são atribuídas alguma patologia disfuncional. Numa perspectiva crítica, a assimetria de gêneros corresponde às relações de poder presentes no problema da alienação parental. Por fim, a inversão dos critérios de identificação da alienação parental revela o distanciamento entre o ideal normativo e a realidade da ruptura conjugal e familiar, apontando para a importância de práticas de cuidado e assistência em vez de judicativas e punitivas.(AU)


The psychologist's ethical recommendation to critically intervene on the demand goes against the task of diagnosing acts of Parental Alienation (AP) and, in a broad sense, with the judicialization of private relations. Foucault's genealogy consists of a method able to shed on the power practices on the basis of discourses related to the theme of Parental Alienation. The pedagogical euphemism used to designate the sanctions of the law has the strategic purpose of convincing about the supposed benefits of guardianship over families, while attributing some dysfunctional pathology to them. From a critical perspective, gender asymmetry corresponds to the power relations present in the Parental Alienation problem. Finally, the inversion of the Parental Alienation's identification criteria reveals the gap between the normative ideal and the reality of marital and family disruption, pointing to the importance of care and assistance practices instead of judicative and punitive ones.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Abstract Aim: Assess the effect of the performance order in the Concurrent Training (CT), Aerobic-Strength (AS), and Strength-Aerobic (SA), in the static balance, dynamic balance, and muscle strength in elderly people. Methods: The study involved 38 elderly people (men and women) aged 60 to 75 years old, divided into SA (n = 19) and AS (n = 19). Within 12 weeks, the aerobic training consisted of walking with intensity prescribed by the Borg's Rating of Perceived Exertion (6-20) and the strength training consisted of six exercises, with intensity controlled by Repetition Maximum training zones. Static balance (plantar pressure center area and displacement in bipedal support with eyes closed and open), dynamic balance (Timed Up and Go and Tandem Gait), and maximum dynamic strength of knee extension and bench press have been evaluated. For data analysis, Generalized Estimating Equations with Bonferroni's complimentary test have been used (α = 0.05). Results: For static and dynamic balance there hasn't been an effect on the 12 weeks of combined training, regardless of the performance order. Both groups maintained the balance variables within the intervention period. When it comes to strength, there has been a noticeable improvement in lower limbs (SA: 16%; AS: 11%; p < 0,001) and upper (SA: 22.0%; AS: 8.7%; p < 0.001), without any differences between the groups. Conclusion: So there is no difference between the order of performance of the CT in the variables of static and dynamic balance and strength of upper and lower limbs. Furthermore, after training, there have been significant improvements in the variables of strength and maintenance of static and dynamic balance.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo do presente trabalho é demonstrar a contribuição da psicanálise, em especial a partir das fórmulas quânticas da sexuação, para o debate dos problemas de gênero articulado ao tema da alienação parental e, de modo geral, para os impasses provocados pela judicialização das relações familiares. Para tanto, é feita a revisão bibliográfica de autores que demonstram as articulações e as diferenças entre o método e o discurso da psicanálise, de um lado e de outro, o direito de família. Conclui-se que a psicanálise lança luz sobre a tendência do direito, regido pelo universal do gozo fálico, em repudiar a alteridade e a singularidade inscrito no campo do gozo Outro ou gozo feminino.


Based on the quantic formulas of sexuation, this article describes the contribution of psychoanalysis to the debate of gender issues related to the subject of parental alienation and, in general, to the impasses caused by the judicialization of family relationships. To this end, we perform a literature review of authors who show the relations and differences between the method and the discourse of psychoanalysis on the one hand and, on the other hand, family law. We conclude that psychoanalysis clarifies the tendency of law, governed by the universal of phallic jouissance, to repudiate alterity and singularity inscribed in the field of Other jouissance or feminine jouissance.


L'objectif de ce travail est de montrer l'apport de la psychanalyse, notamment à partir des formules quantiques de la sexuation, au débat des problèmes de genre associé au thème de l'aliénation parentale et, en général, aux impasses provoquées par la judiciarisation des relations familiales. On propose une révision bibliographique des auteurs montrant les articulations et les différences entre la méthode et le discours de la psychanalyse d'un côté et, de l'autre, le droit de la famille. Pour conclure, on affirme que la psychanalyse éclaire la tendance du droit, régi par l'universel de la jouissance phallique, à rejeter l'altérité et la singularité inscrites dans le champ de la jouissance de l'Autre, soit la jouissance féminine.


El objetivo del presente trabajo es demostrar la contribución del psicoanálisis, especialmente desde las fórmulas cuánticas de la sexuación, al debate de los problemas de género articulados al tema de la alienación parental y, en general, a los sinsabores causados por la judicialización de las relaciones familiares. Para ello, se realiza una revisión bibliográfica de autores que, por un lado, exponen las articulaciones y las diferencias entre el método y el discurso del psicoanálisis, y, por otro lado, el derecho de familia. Se concluye que el psicoanálisis arroja luz sobre la tendencia del derecho, gobernada por lo universal del goce fálico, al repudiar la alteridad y la singularidad inscritas en el campo del goce del Otro o del goce femenino.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO O Plano Global de Eliminação da Filariose Linfática, lançado pela Organização Mundial da Saúde em 2000, propõe o uso de testes de detecção de antígeno circulante filarial como ferramenta diagnóstica para avaliação e monitoramento das ações de controle da parasitose. Entretanto, esses testes, apesar de apresentarem alta sensibilidade, não conseguem detectar com eficiência a infecção em seu estágio inicial, quando ainda não existe a presença de helmintos adultos. Considerando essa limitação, a pesquisa de anticorpos antifilariais tem sido apontada como uma alternativa, uma vez que os anticorpos produzidos contra as larvas infectantes do parasito são detectados antes da presença de antígeno circulante filarial. O objetivo deste estudo foi definir o ponto de corte e avaliar a acurácia do kit Filaria Detect™ IgG4 produzido com o antígeno recombinante Wb123 para diagnóstico da filariose linfática no Brasil. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo de avaliação de teste diagnóstico, no qual foram utilizadas 256 amostras de soro: 79 (30,9%) obtidas de indivíduos microfilarêmicos e 177 (60,1%), de indivíduos amicrofilarêmicos e que testaram negativo para os testes imunológicos Bm14 CELISA e Og4C3 ELISA. A definição do ponto de corte ideal, bem como da acurácia do kit Filaria Detect™ IgG4, foi obtida através da construção de curvas ROC, sendo a densidade óptica de 0,239 aquela na qual o teste obteve melhor desempenho, com sensibilidade de 81,0% e especificidade de 96,6%. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que o kit Filaria Detect™ IgG4 é uma ferramenta promissora para investigação e monitoramento de áreas submetidas ao tratamento em massa para filariose linfática.


ABSTRACT The Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis, launched by the World Health Organization in the year 2000, proposes the use of circulating filarial antigen tests as a diagnostic tool to assess and monitor initiatives to control filarial infection. However, despite a high sensitivity, these tests are not efficient to detect infection at early stages, before worms have reached the adult stage. Considering this limitation, anti-filarial antibody testing has been suggested as an alternative, given that the antibodies produced against the larvae are detectable before the presence of circulating filarial antigen. The objective of the present study was to determine the diagnostic cut-off and the accuracy of the Filaria Detect™ IgG4 kit employing recombinant Wb123 antigen for diagnosis of lymphatic filariasis in Brazil. For that, we performed a diagnostic evaluation study in which 256 serum samples were analyzed: 79 (30.9%) obtained from microfilaremic individuals and 177 (60.1%) from amicrofilaremic individuals who tested negative with the Bm14 CELISA and Og4C3 ELISA immunologic tests. The ideal cutoff as well as the Filaria Detect™ IgG4 kit accuracy were determined based on ROC curve analyses, with an optical density of 0.239 identified as the cutoff with the best performance, with 81.0% sensitivity and 96.6% specificity. The results show that the Filaria Detect™ IgG4 kit is a promising tool for investigation and monitoring of areas undergoing mass drug administration for lymphatic filariasis.


RESUMEN En el programa mundial de eliminación de la filariasis linfática, puesto en marcha por la Organización Mundial de la Salud en el año 2000, se propone el uso de pruebas de detección del antígeno filárico circulante como instrumento de diagnóstico para la evaluación y el seguimiento de las medidas de control de la parasitosis. Sin embargo, esas pruebas, a pesar de tener un alto grado de sensibilidad, no permiten detectar con eficiencia la infección en su fase inicial, cuando todavía no existen helmintos adultos. En vista de esa limitación, se ha señalado como una opción el estudio de anticuerpos antifiláricos, puesto que los anticuerpos producidos contra las larvas infectantes del parásito se detectan antes de la existencia de antígeno filárico circulante. El objetivo de este estudio fue definir el punto de corte y evaluar la exactitud del estuche Detect™ para pruebas de anticuerpos antifiláricos IgG4, fabricado con el antígeno recombinante Wb123, para el diagnóstico de la filariasis linfática en Brasil. Para ello, se realizó un estudio de evaluación de la prueba diagnóstica, en el cual se utilizaron 256 muestras de suero, a saber, 79 (30,9%) obtenidas de personas microfilarémicas y 177 (60,1%) de personas amicrofilarémicas, que arrojaron resultados seronegativos en las pruebas inmunológicas CELISA Bm14 y ELISA Og4C3. La definición del punto de corte ideal y de la exactitud del estuche Detect™ se obtuvo con la construcción de curvas de la característica operativa del receptor (ROC); una densidad óptica de 0,239 marcó el mejor nivel de desempeño de la prueba, con una sensibilidad de 81,0% y una especificidad de 96,6%. Los resultados obtenidos demostraron que el estuche Detect™ es un instrumento prometedor para la investigación y el seguimiento de las regiones donde se realiza un tratamiento masivo de la filariasis linfática.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO: O estudo da noção de trauma é central para a teoria e a clínica psicanalítica desde os seus primórdios. A partir da investigação proposta por Freud a respeito do trauma, foram perfilados caminhos na psicanálise e possíveis desdobramentos para a experiência analítica. Apesar de o tema remeter aos primórdios da psicanálise, o estudo sobre o trauma continua sendo de extrema relevância. Propomos uma articulação entre o trauma e a transmissão, observando que ele não se restringe à geração que o vivenciou, cujos efeitos podem passar para as gerações seguintes.


Abstract: The study of the notion of trauma has been central to psychoanalytic theory and practice since its inception. From the research proposed by Freud on trauma, pathways were outlined in psychoanalysis as well as possible developments for the clinic. Although the theme refers to the beginnings of psychoanalysis itself, the study of trauma remains extremely relevant. We propose a link between the trauma and the transmission, noting that it is not restricted to the generation that experienced it, being able to pass the effects of the traumatic event to the following generations.

ABSTRACT

Cases of Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) have been notified since 1959 in the municipality of Paulista, yet it is still considered an LF-free area. The purpose of this study was to describe the situation of Paulista Health Department. The data were gathered via antigenic surveys carried out in the town, using POC-ICT-AD12 tests. A total of 1,000 individuals, aged 10 and over, were examined in the neighborhoods of Mirueira, Engenho Maranguape, Janga and Maranguape II (250 individuals in each district). Among the individuals evaluated, seven (0,7%) tested positive for antigens using CFA POC-ICT-AD12, 5 out of 250 (2.0%) in the Engenho Maranguape neighborhood and 2 out of 250 (0.8%) in Janga. In this group, one particular individual presented microfilaremia, quantified at 5 Mf/mL. These results suggest that the municipality of Paulista might be a "silent" source of LF continuous transmission, fact that could impact negatively on the goals of the GPELF program meant to provide certification of parasitic disease control and elimination by the year 2022

ABSTRACT

A estrongiloidíase é uma enfermidade que acomete cerca de 100 milhões de pessoas em todo mundo. Essa parasitose apresenta alta prevalência e tem maior gravidade clínica entre indivíduos imunossuprimidos, principalmente aqueles portadores do vírus linfotrópico de células T humana tipo 1 (HTLV). Este fato torna a coinfecção por esse vírus em pacientes parasitados por Strongyloides stercoralis um grave problema de saúde pública. O presente estudo teve por objetivo revisar os estudos sobre coinfecção por HTLV/S. stercoralis. Foi realizada busca eletrônica completa de dados disponíveis sobre a coinfecção entre o vírus e S. stercoralis. As publicações foram capturadas a partir das bases de dados PubMed e SciELO, sendo utilizados os seguintes descritores "vírus linfotrópico de células T humanas tipo 1", "HTLV-1", "S. stercoralis" e "estrongiloidiase". A infecção por HTLV em pacientes parasitados representa fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de estrongiloidíase grave e, nesses indivíduos, o tratamento recomendado deve ser realizado e monitorado para garantir o sucesso terapêutico.(AU)


Strongyloidiasis is a disease that affects approximately 100 million people worldwide. This parasitosis is highly prevalent and more clinically severe among immunosuppressed individuals, particularly those with Human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1). This fact makes the co-infection with this virus in patients parasitized by Strongyloides stercoralis a serious public health problem. The present study aimed at reviewing the studies of co-infection with HTLV/S. stercoralis. A complete electronic search for available data about the co-infection of the virusand S. stercoralis was performed. The publications were obtained from the databases PubMed and SciELO, with the following descriptors being used: "Human T-lymphotropic Virus type 1, "HTLV-1", S. stercoralis, and "strongyloidiasis". The infection with HTLV in infected patients is a risk factor for the development of severe strongyloidiasis, and for these individuals the recommended treatment should be performed and monitored to ensure therapeutic success.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Lymphatic filariasis affects millions of people around the world and may have disabling consequences. Lymphedema stands out as a chronic manifestation in patients with this disease, affecting the lower limbs and limiting motor function. This study aimed to propose a treatment protocol to decrease lower limb lymphedema of treated patients and to show the efficacy of Complex Decongestive Therapy (CDT) as an auxiliary resource for this condition. This is a case study of a patient treated with CDT, making use of compression methods with alternative materials and instructions for asepsis during 10 weeks. The results demonstrated that this treatment reduced lymphedema in the right lower limb of the patient from grade V to grade III, with areas of measurement reduction of up to 41%. In addition, acute dermatolymphangioadenitis (ADLA) manifestations stopped in the treated patient. CDT associated with low-cost compression material, has been shown to be effective in reducing lower limb lymphedema and ADLA crises, as well as in promoting improved locomotion and performance of daily activities by the patient

ABSTRACT

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is probably a disease with autoimmune etiology, defined as an isolated thrombocytopenia not associated with any clinical condition. Other causes related to thrombocytopenia are: HIV infection, systemic lupus erythematosus and druginduced thrombocytopenia. In this report we describe a case of ITP developed after vaccination against influenza A H1N1 in a 64-year-old female patient, hypertensive, offset and in use of antihypertensives, with no history of ITP, after review of clinical history and laboratory tests. The patient's physical examination revealed pallor, ecchymosis in the trunk, limbs and oral mucosa, with bleeding gums. Absence of adenomegaly and palpable splenomegaly, fever or other signs and symptoms of relevance. The blood count and bone marrow examination showed severe thrombocytopenia with platelet count of 7,000/µL and hypercellularity of the megakaryocytic series (other series were normal), respectively. A transfusion of concentrate platelet was performed and after treatment with specific poly immunoglobulin (IVIG) and corticoids, the patient showed clinical improvement and laboratory indexes were normalized. ITP after vaccine against influenza A H1N1 is a rare event whose causal relationship is difficult to prove, and the diagnosis is based on exclusion of other possible etiologies.

ABSTRACT

The strongyloidiasis is a parasitic disease that poses as a serious public health problem, mainly in tropical and subtropical countries. Over the years, some conditions, such as advances in corticosteroid treatment and immunosuppressive diseases, have improved not only the increase in cases of strongyloidiasis, but also the emergence of severe forms of the disease and / or deaths. For these reasons, the objective of this study is to make a critical analysis of the occurrence of strongyloidiasis in patients with comorbidities, describing clinical and epidemiological characteristics associated with these diseases that can highlight the importance of monitoring this parasitosis in most susceptible groups.


La estrongiloidiasis es una parasitosis que representa un grave problema de salud pública, principalmente en países ubicados en regiones tropicales y subtropicales. A lo largo de los años, algunas condiciones, como por ejemplo, avances en el tratamiento con corticosteroides y enfermedades que evolucionan con inmunosupresión, han favorecido no solamente al aumento de casos de estrongiloidiasis, sino también al surgimiento de formas graves de la enfermedad y/u decesos. Por lo expuesto, el objetivo del presente estudio fue realizar un análisis crítico de la ocurrencia de la estrongiloidiasis en portadores de co-morbilidades, describiendo las características clínico-epidemiológicas de esa asociación que puedan resaltar la importancia de vigilar esta parasitosis en grupos considerados más susceptibles.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiological characteristics, antigenic profile, perceptions, attitudes and practices of individuals who have been systematically non-compliant in mass drug administration (MDA) campaigns targeting lymphatic filariasis, in the municipality of Olinda, State of Pernambuco, Northeastern Brazil. A pretested questionnaire was used to obtain information on socioenvironmental demographics, perceptions of lymphatic filariasis and MDA, and reasons for systematic noncompliance with treatment. A rapid immunochromatographic test (ICT) was performed during the survey to screen for filariasis. It was found that the survey subjects knew about filariasis and MDA. Filariasis was identified as a disease (86.2%) and 74.4% associated it with the presence of swelling in the legs. About 80% knew about MDA, and the main source of information was healthcare workers (68.3%). For men the main reasons for systematic noncompliance with MDA were that “the individual had not received the medication” (p=0.03) and for women “the individual either feared experiencing adverse reactions”. According to the ICT, the prevalence of lymphatic filariasis was 2%. The most important causes of systematic noncompliance were not receiving the drug and fear of side-effects. For successful implementation of MDA programs, good planning, educational campaigns promoting the benefits of MDA, adoption of measures to minimize the impact of adverse effects and improvement of drug distribution logistics are needed.

ABSTRACT

A filariose linfática é uma parasitose que afeta regiões tropicais e subtropicais. No Brasil, apenas a região metropolitana de Recife (Recife, Olinda, Jaboatão dos Guararapes e Paulista) ainda é considerada como foco ativo de transmissão da parasitose. Diante disso, o objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever o histórico das atividades de controle da parasitose em OlindaPE, área que por muito tempo apresentou número significativo de casos, evidenciando as principais ações desenvolvidas desde o ano de 1987. Ao longo de aproximadamente 30 anos, muitos estudos clínico-laboratoriais e epidemiológicos foram desenvolvidos no município. Recentemente, mais de cinco ciclos de tratamento em massa com citrato de dietilcarbamazina foram realizados na área, com uma adesão de mais de 65% de toda a população, o que contribuiu para a redução da microfilaremia local a taxas inferiores a 1%. Esse fato viabilizou a implantação da pesquisa de avaliação da transmissão, etapa decisiva para definição da situação atual da filariose linfática e de novas estratégias de controle e vigilância.

ABSTRACT

A filariose linfática é uma parasitose endêmica em 73 países e afeta, aproximadamente, 120 milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo. Este trabalho buscou traçar o perfil de pacientes com linfedema que residem em áreas endêmicas de filariose, com ou sem diagnóstico comprovado de doença prévia. Trata-se de um estudo transversal que envolveu pacientes com linfedema, cadastrados no SRNF-CPqAM-FIOCRUZ-PE, residentes nas principais cidades da região metropolitana de Recife, capital do estado de Pernambuco, aos quais foi aplicado um questionário para avaliação do perfil sociodemográfico e epidemiológico. Foram selecionados 35 pacientes, sendo 80% do sexo feminino, a maioria com idade entre 40 e 59 anos (48,6%). Do total examinado, 40% apresentaram linfedema bilateral de membros inferiores e presença de dor moderada no membro afetado. Além disso, dos indivíduos atendidos, apenas 20% receberam diagnóstico de filariose e 68% relataram morar em ruas pavimentadas com disponibilidade de coleta regular de lixo e acesso à água potável. Os resultados deste estudo propiciaram um conhecimento mais abrangente do perfil dos pacientes com linfedema atendidos pelo serviço de referência e poderão auxiliar no aprimoramento das políticas públicas de saúde.

ABSTRACT

O presente artigo tem o intuito de apresentar, a partir da perspectiva de René Kaës, a formulação do conceito de transmissão psíquica. Kaës localiza a origem deste conceito nas primeiras reflexões de Freud sobre a questão da hereditariedade, que se iniciam nas denominadas publicações “pré-psicanalíticas” e se estendem até os seus últimos escritos. As reflexões freudianas sobre a hereditariedade servem de base para o conceito de transmissão psíquica utilizado por René Kaës, de fundamental importância para a psicanálise de família, ampliando esta clínica.(AU)


The current study aims to present - according to René Kaës’ perspective - the formulation of the psychic transmission concept. Kaës locates the origin of this concept in Freud’s first reflections on the issue of heredity, which begin in his so-called “pre-psychoanalytic” publications and extend until his last writings. Freudian reflections on heredity serve as a foundation for the concept of psychic transmission used by René Kaës, of primary importance to family psychoanalysis, expanding such clinic.(AU)

ABSTRACT

O Serviço de Referência Nacional em Filarioses (SRNF) do Centro de Pesquisas Aggeu Magalhães, Fiocruz, desenvolve atividades multi e interdisciplinares no controle e eliminação da filariose bancroftiana. A fim de melhorar a qualidade dos serviços oferecidos e a segurança do paciente, foi implantado um sistema de qualidade baseado nos padrões de qualidade propostos pela Joint Commission International (JCI). Esta nota tem como objetivo descrever a implantação do programa de cuidados ambulatoriais na referida unidade para outorga da certificação. O processo foi iniciado com um estudo minucioso do Manual de Cuidados Ambulatoriais, realizando-se, em seguida, a elaboração da documentação pertinente, a conscientização e capacitação dos recursos humanos, a adequação física das instalações e, posteriormente, a avaliação externa pela equipe de auditores do JCI. A instituição do novo sistema de qualidade evidenciou que o comprometimento da gestão e de toda a equipe foi, sem dúvida, o elemento mais importante para o alcance das metas e sucesso das ações. Este processo viabilizou avanços efetivos na melhoria da qualidade dos serviços prestados e da segurança do paciente, não somente no SRNF como em toda a instituição na qual ele se encontra inserido.

ABSTRACT

O trabalho do psicólogo no campo jurídico consolidou-se a partir do advento do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (Lei 8069/90), inserindo-se nas práticas realizadas por equipes interprofissionais. O psicólogo é frequentemente demandado a realizar perícias e confeccionar laudos e pareceres. Através do método da genealogia de Foucault, verifica-se que apesar da herança medicalizante da qual a perícia é portadora, essa se mantém como prática mesmo num campo doutrinário de proteção integral dos direitos da criança e do adolescente. Conclui-se que o direito serve de vetor e, ao mesmo tempo, camuflagem para as estratégias de normalização e disciplina, de modo que a demanda por laudos e pareceres servem a diversas linhas de força, entre as quais, o resgate do poder simbólico do juiz que até então poderia ser afrontada pela corrente medicalizante...


The role of the psychologist in the field of law has gained strength since the enactment of the Child and Adolescent Statute (Law 8069/90) which required participation of such professionals in interprofessional teams. Among other things, the psychologist is often required to produce reports and to give his/her expert opinion in a court investigation. In this article we rely on Foucault’s genealogical method to support the position that despite its original link to clinical interventions, the psychological expertise has proven its importance in protecting children’s and adolescent’s rights. We reach the conclusion that the field of law functions both by merging and by disguising strategies of normalization and discipline. In this sense, we can verify how the demand for reports and expert opinions can be linked to several lines of force, among which is the rescue of the symbolic power of the judge, in opposition to advocates of institutionalization which instead concur undermine the symbolic power of the judge...

ABSTRACT

The Global Program for the Elimination of Lymphatic Filariasis (GPELF) aims to eliminate this disease by the year 2020. However, the development of more specific and sensitive tests is important for the success of the GPELF. The present study aimed to standardise polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based systems for the diagnosis of filariasis in serum and urine. Twenty paired biological urine and serum samples from individuals already known to be positive for Wuchereria bancrofti were collected during the day. Conventional PCR and semi-nested PCR assays were optimised. The detection limit of the technique for purified W. bancrofti DNA extracted from adult worms was 10 fg for the internal systems (WbF/Wb2) and 0.1 fg by using semi-nested PCR. The specificity of the primers was confirmed experimentally by amplification of 1 ng of purified genomic DNA from other species of parasites. Evaluation of the paired urine and serum samples by the semi-nested PCR technique indicated only two of the 20 tested individuals were positive, whereas the simple internal PCR system (WbF/Wb2), which has highly promising performance, revealed that all the patients were positive using both samples. This study successfully demonstrated the possibility of using the PCR technique on urine for the diagnosis of W. bancrofti infection.

ABSTRACT

Introduction Since the launch of the Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis, more than 70% of the endemic countries have implemented mass drug administration (MDA) to interrupt disease transmission. The monitoring of filarial infection in sentinel populations, particularly schoolchildren, is recommended to assess the impact of MDA. A key issue is choosing the appropriate tools for these initial assessments (to define the best intervention) and for monitoring transmission. Methods This study compared the pre-MDA performance of five diagnostic methods, namely, thick film test, Knott's technique, filtration, Og4C3-ELISA, and the AD12-ICT card test, in schoolchildren from Brazil. Venous and capillary blood samples were collected between 11 pm and 1 am. The microfilarial loads were analyzed with a negative binomial regression, and the prevalence and associated 95% confidence intervals were estimated for all methods. The accuracies of the AD12-ICT card and Og4C3-ELISA tests were assessed against the combination of parasitological test results. Results A total of 805 schoolchildren were examined. The overall and stratified prevalence by age group and gender detected by Og4C3-ELISA and AD12-ICT were markedly higher than the prevalence estimated by the parasitological methods. The sensitivity of the AD12-ICT card and Og4C3-ELISA tests was approximately 100%, and the positive likelihood ratios were above 6. The specificity of the Og4C3-ELISA was higher than that of the AD12-ICT at different prevalence levels. Conclusions The ICT card test should be the recommended tool for monitoring school-age populations living in areas with ongoing or completed MDA. .

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Descrever a prevalência de infecção filarial e de parasitoses intestinais em escolares numa área endêmica de filariose e refletir sobre a opção terapêutica utilizada no Brasil no tratamento coletivo para filariose. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal envolvendo 508 alunos na faixa etária de 5-18 anos cadastrados em escolas públicas do município de Olinda-PE. Realizou-se a investigação da parasitose intestinal em três amostras de fezes, analisadas pelo método de Hoffmann, Pons e Janer. A investigação filarial foi feita com teste antigênico pela técnica de imunocromatográfica rápida (ICT) e pesquisa de microfilárias, utilizando filtração em membrana de policarbonato. Para análise de dados utilizou-se a estatística descritiva através do programa EpiInfo versão 7. RESULTADOS: A prevalência de filariose por ICT foi de 13,8% e por microfilaremia de 1,2%, enquanto a de parasitoses intestinais foi 64,2%. A concomitância do diagnóstico filarial e de parasitoses intestinais foi de 9,4% e, 31,5% eram isentos de ambas as parasitoses. Entre os indivíduos com parasitoses intestinais, 55% eram monoparasitados e 45% poliparasitados. A presença de geohelmintos ocorreu em 72,5% dos parasitados. No grupo com infecção filarial a ocorrência de geohelmintíase foi de 54,5%. CONCLUSÕES: O diagnóstico simultâneo de infecção filarial e parasitose intestinal, bem como a elevada frequência de geohelmintos justificam uma reavaliação da estratégia terapêutica do tratamento coletivo no programa de filariose no Brasil.


OBJECTIVE: To report the prevalence of lymphatic filariasis and intestinal parasitic infections in school-aged children living in a filariasis endemic area and discuss about the therapeutic regimen adopted in Brazil for the large-scale treatment of filariasis. METHODS: A cross-sectional study including 508 students aged 5-18 years old, enrolled in public schools within the city of Olinda, Pernambuco. The presence of intestinal parasites was analyzed using the Hoffman, Pons and Janer method on 3 stool samples. The diagnosis of filarial infection was performed using the rapid immunochromatographic technique (ICT) for the antigen, and the polycarbonate membrane filtration for the presence of microfilariae. Descriptive statistics of the data was performed using EpiInfo version 7. RESULTS: The prevalence of filariasis was 13.8% by ICT and 1.2% by microfilaraemia, while intestinal parasites were detected in 64.2% of cases. Concurrent diagnosis of filariasis and intestinal parasites was 9.4%, while 31.5% of students were parasite-free. Among individuals with intestinal parasites, 55% had one parasite and 45% had more than one parasite. Geohelminths occurred in 72.5% of the parasited individuals. In the group with filarial infection the prevalence of soil-transmitted helminthiasis was 54.5%. CONCLUSIONS: The simultaneous diagnosis of filariasis and intestinal parasites as well as the high frequency of geohelminths justify the need to reevaluate the treatment strategy used in the Brazilian filariasis large-scale treatment program.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar se há diferença da evolução na reabilitação dos indivíduos submetidos à reconstrução do LCA através das técnicas osso-tendão patelar-osso ou enxerto quádruplo do semitendíneo e grácil através de uma revisão da literatura. Utilizaram-se as bases de dados eletrônicas: MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, COCHRANE e PEDro. Os critérios de inclusão foram: ensaio clínico randomizado e aleatório com ou sem metanálise; participantes com lesão do LCA associada ou não a lesão meniscal e que foram submetidos à ligamentoplastia e à reabilitação fisioterapêutica; intervenção cirúrgica através das técnicas de reconstrução osso-tendão patelar-osso ou enxerto quádruplo do semitendíneo e grácil; ensaios clínicos que comparem a diferença da evolução na recuperação funcional; estudos publicados nos idiomas: português, inglês e espanhol, no período de 1997 a junho de 2011. Foram encontrados cinco ensaios clínicos que preenchessem os critérios de inclusão. Não foram observadas diferenças clínicas e funcionais entre as técnicas, porém, com recomendação para uma reabilitação menos agressiva e com maior atenção no fortalecimento dos isquiotibiais quando estes são utilizados como enxerto.


The purpose of this study was to evaluate the existence of differences in the rehabilitation of patients after ACL reconstruction using bone-patellar tendon-bone graft and the four-strand semitendinosus and gracilis tendon grafts, through a literature revision. The researched databases were MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, COCHRANE and PEDro. The inclusion criteria were published studies with methodology draw from randomized clinical trials with or without meta-analysis, individuals with ACL injury, associated or not to meniscal injury, submitted to ligamentoplasty using the bone-patellar tendon-bone graft and the four-strand semitendinosus and gracilis tendon grafts and physiotherapy; clinical trials comparing the differences in the rehabilitation of these patients, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, from 1990 to June, 2011. Five clinical trials were reviewed. No difference was observed between the techniques, however, with a recommendation for a less aggressive rehabilitation and greater attention to the strengthening of the hamstring when they are used as grafts.
