Neuropsychiatric symptomatology in post-COVID syndrome. Intervention proposal and referral from primary care

SARS-CoV-2 infection is a multiorgan disease with a wide spectrum of clinical mani-festations, including neurological and psychiatric, which are expressed in all stages of the disease and often has long-term symptoms, called post-COVID syndrome. Among the neuropsychiatric symptoms derived from this syndrome, in this article we focus on headache, cognitive impairment, taste and smell alterations, depression, anxiety and sleep disorders. Intervention algorithms for these symptoms in primary care establishing criteria for referral to specialized care are proposed. (C) 2021 Sociedad Espanola de Medicos de Atencion Primaria (SEMERGEN).

NARRATIVAS DOCENTES E CRIAÇÃO CURRICULAR, DESAFIOS DE TEMPOS PANDÊMICOS

This text aims to present the research we have been developing in the pandemic period with teachers about their curricular productions. In this sense, we provoke to think about the regulation devices that permeate the teaching and the curricula that are crossed by what happens in this school that today, due to the pandemic of COVID-19, draws or redesigns itself by necessity to exist and resist. We point out that the daily curricular creation happens in many other ways than those intended by the current curriculum and training policies by the hands of thousands of teachers who insist on producing knowledge with their students, despite the precariousness to which their work is sometimes subjected. Taken by the desire to understand this school without solid bases and all the production that takes place in it even without its physical structure, we chose to work with narrative research, understanding that it helps us to know what has been produced, besides allowing us to dialogue with these practices from our own experiences, also narrated. © 2021 Curriculo sem Fronteiras.

COVID-19 Related Pneumonia Detection in Lung Ultrasound

Accurate diagnosis plays an important role in the current public health situation caused by the Covid-19 outbreak. Ultrasound images offer some advantages over other imaging techniques due to their lowers costs;however, to the authors’ knowledge, these type of images have not received as much attention as the other methods. This article describes a set of novel features for Covid-19 detection from lung ultrasound scans, obtained from the Pocovid database described in [3]. Two simultaneous approaches were considered: analysis and segmentation of the pleura, and highlighting of information from frame sequences through PCA and ICA. The proposed features were tested using machine learning models, achieving an average accuracy of 0.9, which considering the interpretability of the features and the complexity of the classification models used, is a good result. © 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
