ABSTRACT

Caprine herpesvirus 1 (CpHV-1) infection is associated with clinical manifestations related to animal age, with high mortality in kids and infertility in adults. Given the scarcity of research about the epidemiological situation of this infection in Brazilian flocks, we aimed to conduct a cross-sectional descriptive study to detect antibodies against CpHV-1 in goats in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Fifty-five male and female goats ­ kids and adult ­ were assessed in this study. Blood serum was analyzed by a commercial ELISA kit to detect antibodies against CpHV-1, which had not been used in Brazil before. No animals were reactive. Brazil lacks information about CpHV-1 infection in goat flocks. Continuing the study is crucial to understand the epidemiological situation of the disease and establish protocols for infection control.(AU)


A infecção pelo Herpesvírus Caprino tipo 1 (CpHv-1) está associada a manifestações clínicas relacionadas à idade dos animais, com alta mortalidade em filhotes e infertilidade em adultos. Diante da escassez de estudos sobre situação epidemiológica dessa infecção nos rebanhos brasileiros, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo realizar um estudo transversal e descritivo para a detecção de anticorpos anti-Herpesvírus Caprino tipo 1 em caprinos do estado de São Paulo, Brasil. Foram avaliados 55 caprinos machos e fêmeas, filhotes e adultos. O soro sanguíneo foi analisado por um kit ELISA comercial para detecção de anticorpos contra CpHv-1, de utilização inédita no Brasil. Nenhum animal estudado foi sororreagente. O Brasil carece de informações acerca da infecção pelo Herpesvírus Caprino tipo 1 nos rebanhos caprinos do país. A continuidade do estudo é imprescindível para compreender a situação epidemiológica da enfermidade e estabelecer protocolos para controle da infecção.(AU)

ABSTRACT

O acesso aos serviços de saúde é um direito constitucional. Entende-se como acesso a capacidade de obtenção de cuidados de saúde, quando necessário, de modo fácil e conveniente. Entre os desafios para a gestão em saúde, encontram-se as desigualdades de acesso como um dos principais problemas. As diferenças marcantes nas taxas de utilização dos serviços de saúde apontam as graves desigualdades de acesso refletindo as desigualdades sociais. Este artigo tem por objetivo discutir o acesso ao diagnóstico do HIV pela população negra do município do Rio de Janeiro. Para trabalhar com o objeto proposto, optamos pela metodologia qualitativa. A coleta de dados consistiu na realização de 62 entrevistas semiestruturadas, com pessoas que se autodeclararam pretas ou pardas e que procuraram os Centros de Testagem e Aconselhamento do Município do Rio de Janeiro para a realização do teste anti-HIV. A análise dos dados ocorreu baseada nos pressupostos do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. A maioria dos entrevistados não relatou dificuldades para o acesso ao teste anti-HIV. A barreira identificada foi a própria demanda reprimida nos CTA por conta de oferecimento limitado de testes devido a questões de insumo e recursos humanos. Não foi verificada nenhuma fala que demonstrasse discriminação com relação à cor/raça no contato com o serviço. Entre os fatores apontados como facilitadores do acesso ao teste foram: gratuidade do exame, indicação ou referência por profissionais ou serviço de saúde, acesso ao local de realização do teste, credibilidade do serviço, rapidez no atendimento e ausência de burocracia.


Access to health services is a constitutional right. Access is considered as the capacity to obtain health care when necessary, in an easy and convenient way. Challenges for health management include unequal access as one of the main problems. Clear differences in health service usage rates indicate severe access inequality and reflect social inequality. This research aims at discussing the black population's access to the HIV diagnosis in Rio de Janeiro city. The qualitative method was chosen. Data were collected through 62 semi-structured interviews with people who declared themselves black or mulatto and visited the Testing and Counseling Center (TCC) to take the HIV test. Data analysis was based on the premises of the Collective Subject Discourse. Most interviewees did not report any difficulties to get access to the HIV test. The repressed demand at the TCC was identified as a barrier, due to the limited test offer caused by material and human resource issues. No statement was found that demonstrated color/race discrimination during contact with the service. Factors appointed as facilitating test access included: free test, indication or referral by health professionals or service, access to the test site, service credibility, rapid care and absence of bureaucracy.

ABSTRACT

Objective To develop a diagnosis model for active pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods The proteomic fingerprinting of 264 sera from active tuberculosis patients and controls were analyzed using the surface-enhanced laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) and protein-chip technology. The peaks were detected and filtrated by Ciphergen PrnteinChip(R) Software (version 3.1.1). Using the Biomarker Pattern 5.0 software, a diagnostic model was developed for diagnosis of active tuberculosis. Re-sults Fifty protein peaks were significantly different between the patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis and the controls with overlapping clinical features (P<0.01). Five protein peaks at 4360, 3311, 8160, 5723, 15173 m/z were chosen for the system classifier and the development of diagnosis model 1. The model differenti-ated the patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis from the controls with a sensitivity of 83.0%, and a speci-ficity of 89.6%. The diagnostic accuracy was up to 86.4%. Three protein peaks at 5643, 4486, 4360 m/z were chosen for the system classifier and the development of diagnosis model 2. The model differentiated the pa-tients with active pulmonary tuberculosis from the controls with a sensitivity of 96.9%, and a specificity of 97.8%. The diagnostic accuracy was up to 97.3%. Conclusion It might be a new diagnostic test for the de-tection of sera from the patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis using SELDI-TOF-MS and protein chip.
