Association of Sociodemographic Factors and Maternal Educational Attainment with Child Development among Families Living below the Poverty Line in the State of Ceará, Northeastern Brazil.

Maternal educational attainment has been identified as relevant to several child health and development outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the association of sociodemographic and maternal education factors with child development in families living below the poverty line. A cross-sectional study was conducted through telephone contact from May to July 2021 in Ceará, a state in Northeastern Brazil. The study population comprised families with children up to six years of age participating in the cash transfer program "Mais infância". The families selected to participate in this program must have a monthly per capita income of less than US$16.50. The Ages and Stages Questionnaire version 3 was applied to assess the children's development status. The mothers reported maternal educational attainment as the highest grade and or degree obtained. The final weighted and adjusted model showed that maternal schooling was associated with the risk of delay in all domains except for the fine motor domain. The risk of delay in at least one domain was 2.5-fold higher in mothers with a lower level of schooling (95% CI: 1.6-3.9). The findings of this study suggest that mothers with higher educational attainment have children with better child development outcomes.

Analyzing households' food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic and the role of public policies to mitigate it: evidence from Ceará, Brazil.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association of conditional cash transfer policies to mitigate the food insecurity (FI) among families living in poverty during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ceará, Brazil. METHODS: An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out through telephone contact during the period of May-July 2021, during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ceará. Families in a situation of high social and economic vulnerability participated in this study (monthly per capita income of less than US$16.50). FI was assessed using the EBIA, a Brazilian validated questionnaire. The participation of families in government programs and public policies was also investigated. Logistic regression models were used to assess the association of the several factors assessed with food insecurity. RESULTS: The prevalence of any food insecurity in this sample was 89.1% (95% Confidence interval (95% CI: 86.2 - 92.1) and of severe food insecurity, 30.3% (95% CI: 26.0 - 34.6). The Mais Infância card program, adopted as a cash transfer supplement in the state of Ceará, was significantly associated with food insecurity (OR 4.2 (95% CI: 1.7 - 10.2), with a p-value of 0.002. In addition, families affected by job losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic presented higher odds of FI. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, 89% of evaluated families presented food insecurity. Conditional cash transfer programs were associated with FI. We highlight the need for policies and interventions to reduce the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on food insecurity. Such policies can adopt appropriate criteria for defining the participants, as well as connect the participants to an appropriate set of broader social protection measures.

Hospitalizations and deaths of Brazilian children and adolescents with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome caused by COVID-19.

INTRODUCTION: Since the onset of the pandemic, COVID-19 has affected the entire world population, however, data on child morbidity and mortality are scarce. This study aimed to analyze the profile of hospitalizations and factors associated with the deaths of Brazilian children and adolescents with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome caused by COVID-19. METHODOLOGY: This cross-sectional study uses public domain data from the Influenza Epidemiological Surveillance System in 2021. The prevalence rates, lethality, and duration of hospitalization of children and adolescents with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome caused by COVID-19 were analyzed. Logistic regression and adjusted Odds Ratio were used. A p < 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: The prevalence of hospitalization among children and adolescents was 3.6%, and the case lethality rate was 4.0%. Higher lethality rates occurred among adolescents, natives, rural residents, those living in Brazil's northern and northeastern regions, and those who became critically ill and had comorbidities. Hospitalization time was longer for adolescents who became critically ill or had comorbidities. The highest chance of death was associated with: children under one year of age and adolescents, natives, and residents from the North, Northeast, and Southeast regions, who became critically ill and had comorbidities. CONCLUSIONS: Despite lower hospitalization and death rates than adults, the prevalence, complications, and mortality from COVID-19 in the pediatric population are relevant. Knowledge of the profile of children and adolescents hospitalized due to COVID-19 and the factors associated with these deaths allows the guidance of response efforts directed to assist this vulnerable population.

Hospitalizations and deaths of children and adolescents with Severe Acute Respiratory Infection due to COVID-19 during the epidemiological year of 2020.

This study aimed to analyze the profile of hospitalizations and factors associated with the deaths of children and adolescents with severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) caused by SARS-CoV-2 nationwide. The study comprised 6,843 children and adolescents hospitalized in 2020 who tested positive for COVID-19, based on data from the Influenza Epidemiological Surveillance Information System. Sociodemographic and clinical profiles, hospitalization frequency, lethality and recovery rates were analyzed. The outcome was recovery or death. The 6,843 children and adolescents comprised 1.9% of SARI hospitalized cases (n = 563,051). Of these, 57.7% developed critical SARI and 90% survived. Comorbidities were present in 40.8%, especially asthma, immunodepression, and neurological and cardiovascular diseases. The main symptoms were fever, cough, dyspnea, respiratory distress, and low oxygen saturation. Among those with critical SARI, 91.4% died. There was a higher frequency of children, especially those under five years of age and of mixed ethnicity. The highest hospitalization frequency occurred in the Southeastern and Northeastern regions, the highest recovery rates in the Southeastern and Southern regions, and the highest lethality rates in the Northern and Northeastern regions. Deaths were associated with ages ranging from 12 to 19 and being under one year of age, living in the Northern and Northeastern regions, progression to critical SARI, and having immunosuppression and cardiovascular disease. In contrast, asthma was associated with lower death rates. The frequency of complications and mortality rates caused by SARS-Cov-2 in the pediatric population are relevant, as well as the severity of the epidemic in the social inequality context and the health services' frailty.

Survival of patients with diabetes mellitus hospitalized for acute respiratory syndrome due to COVID-19.

Given the magnitude of COVID-19 and the increase in hospitalization cases for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), especially among patients with diabetes mellitus, it is essential to understand the epidemiological aspects inherent to the disease and the worsening of cases. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the survival of patients with diabetes mellitus hospitalized for SARS due to COVID-19 in different regions of Brazil. This is a longitudinal study, carried out based on data reported in the Influenza Epidemiological Surveillance Information System during the year 2020. The number of patients with diabetes mellitus among the hospitalized cases of SARS due to COVID-19 in the different regions of Brazil and the lethality rate among them were identified. A comparison of patient profiles of those who survived or did not survive and the Cox regression analysis were performed to evaluate the factors associated with shorter survival of patients. It was found that 51.4% of patients hospitalized with SARS due to COVID-19 had diabetes, and the case lethality rate among them was 45.0%. The Northeastern and Northern regions presented a higher proportion of patients with diabetes mellitus (56.5% and 54.3%, respectively) and a higher lethality rate (53.8% and 59.9%, respectively). The mean survival time of cases with diabetes mellitus hospitalized for SARS due to COVID-19 was estimated to be 35.7 days (0.5 days). A lower survival rate was observed among residents of the Northeastern and Northern regions with skin color reported as non-white, who required admission to Intensive Care Units and invasive mechanical ventilation, and presented respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, respiratory distress and an oxygen saturation lower than 95%. It is concluded that diabetes mellitus was responsible for the high occurrence and lethality, mainly in the Northeastern and Northern regions, among non-white patients and those with greater clinical severity, which reinforces the importance of taking measures aimed at supporting this population.

HESITAÇÃO À VACINA DA COVID-19: CORRESPONDÊNCIA ENTRE RESPOSTAS DE UM ESTUDO EPIDEMIOLÓGICO E POSTAGENS EM MÍDIA SOCIAL

Introdução A hesitação a vacinas é um problema crescente que contribui com a redução das coberturas vacinais no Brasil e no mundo. Estudos sugerem que informações veiculadas em mídias sociais podem influenciar as opiniões sobre a adesão à vacinação. Objetivo Utilizamos metodologia mista para explorar a correspondência entre motivos para hesitação à vacina da COVID-19 reportados no Estudo DEBRA e conteúdos de postagens do Twitter, conforme categorias temáticas. Método O Estudo DEBRA coletou informações demográficas, dados sobre intenção de vacinação e atitudes/crenças em relação a vacinas no Brasil, utilizando um questionário de autopreenchimento. Convidamos participantes hesitantes à vacina da COVID-19 a responder em campo aberto sobre suas motivações. Classificamos as respostas em categorias temáticas, e analisamos sua correspondência com postagens do Twitter a fim de explorar relações de sentido entre conteúdos da mídia social e opiniões dos participantes. Postagens do Twitter foram buscadas a partir de palavras-chave ou termos associados (hashtag) a hesitação vacinal, até saturação do tema, identificando o tipo do usuário (nominal/não nominal), gênero (quando possível) e alcance (número de likes/retweets). Resultados A maioria das respostas abertas de participantes do estudo DEBRA hesitantes à vacina da COVID-19 foi emitida por homens (11/14). Identificamos cinco categorias temáticas: individualidade;medo de eventos adversos/desconfiança;questões políticas/aversão a determinações do Estado;dúvidas sobre eficácia/naturalismo. Observamos íntima correspondência entre as opiniões dos participantes e os conteúdos de hesitação à vacina da COVID-19 no Twitter. Manifestações do Twitter tiveram perfil predominantemente feminino, à exceção das categorias ‘questões políticas/aversão a determinações do Estado’ (homens 55,8%) e ‘dúvidas sobre eficácia/naturalismo’ (homens 100%). Todas as categorias apresentaram perfil majoritariamente nominal. As categorias com maior alcance foram ‘individualidade’ e ‘medo de eventos adversos/desconfiança’, com média de likes de 1873,3 e 1864,67 respectivamente, e média de retweets de 402,8 e 488,54 respectivamente. Conclusão Informações e desinformações veiculadas em mídias sociais abrangem uma vasta diversidade de temas e possuem correspondência com motivações para a hesitação à vacina da COVID-19 relatadas em um estudo epidemiológico. Mídias sociais podem influenciar diferentes desfechos em saúde de forma positiva ou negativa.

Digital Pathology Transformation in a Supraregional Germ Cell Tumour Network.

BACKGROUND: In this article we share our experience of creating a digital pathology (DP) supraregional germ cell tumour service, including full digitisation of the central laboratory. METHODS: DP infrastructure (Philips) was deployed across our hospital network to allow full central digitisation with partial digitisation of two peripheral sites in the supraregional testis germ cell tumour network. We used a survey-based approach to capture the quantitative and qualitative experiences of the multidisciplinary teams involved. RESULTS: The deployment enabled case sharing for the purposes of diagnostic reporting, second opinion, and supraregional review. DP was seen as a positive step forward for the departments involved, and for the wider germ cell tumour network, and was completed without significant issues. Whilst there were challenges, the transition to DP was regarded as worthwhile, and examples of benefits to patients are already recognised. CONCLUSION: Pathology networks, including highly specialised services, such as in this study, are ideally suited to be digitised. We highlight many of the benefits but also the challenges that must be overcome for such clinical transformation. Overall, from the survey, the change was seen as universally positive for our service and highlights the importance of engagement of the whole team to achieve success.

Discourses on ag(e)ing individuals, social inequality, and the effects of social distancing in times of covid-19 / Discursos sobre os idosos, desigualdade social e os efeitos das medidas de distanciamento social em tempos de covid-19

Resumo Este trabalho discute os efeitos da covid-19 na saúde de idosos, considerados principal grupo de risco nesta pandemia. Para tanto, partiremos de uma breve exposição demográfica do envelhecimento no Brasil para, então, discutir sobre como este período tem produzido e reforçado discursos que revelam estereótipos sobre envelhecimento. Esses discursos se relacionam com as dificuldades no enfrentamento dos efeitos deste período de distanciamento social e de suas possiblidades, tanto no contexto do cuidado residencial quanto nas instituições de longa permanência na Bahia, onde centralizamos esta discussão. Para finalizar, ressaltamos a urgência de ações organizadas e coordenadas que compreendam a complexidade do processo de envelhecimento para o enfrentamento, tanto dos discursos preconceituosos sobre os idosos quanto para os efeitos do isolamento. Também apontamos para a necessidade de nos reconhecermos e nos implicarmos nas demais gerações de que fazemos parte, seja em memória ou projeção.

Abstract Our work discusses the effects of Covid-19 on older adults' health, which is considered the leading risk group in this pandemic. We start with a brief ag(e)ing demographic discussion in Brazil and then address how this period has produced and reinforced discourses that show ag(e)ing stereotypes. These discourses are related to the difficulties in facing the social distancing effects and its possibilities in the context of residential care and in long-term institutions in the state of Bahia, Brazil, where we centralize this discussion. To conclude, we emphasize the urgency of organized and coordinated actions that understand the ag(e)ing process complexity to face both the prejudiced discourses about older adults and the effects of isolation. We also point to the need to recognize and involve ourselves in the other generations of which we are a part, whether in memory or projection.

Comparative Analysis of Psychology Responding to COVID-19 Pandemic in Brics Nations.

The BRICS Forum, an independent international organization encouraging commercial, political, and cultural cooperation between Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, was formed in 2011, and these countries have a significant influence on their regional affairs. These nations were hit by COVID-19 at different times, and all adopted home quarantine to reduce the spread of the virus. We present a comparative analysis of actions of psychology and potential outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic in BRICS nations regarding five aspects: psychology in health policies, social roles of psychology, socioeconomic context, actions for the general population, and health professionals during stage 1 of the pandemic, and possible actions in stage 2. Various types of actions were taken by psychologists in BRICS, with different levels of coordinated cooperation with respective governmental and non-governmental organizations, multiple and parallel efforts from different scientific societies, and professional regulatory agencies. Scientific societies have had an important role in coordinating some of these efforts, especially because they congregate the psychologists from different parts of these countries, improving communication and access to key information. The aim of these actions varies from improving situational skills and competences to increase the accessibility of psychological services and provide psychoeducation and telepsychology. We will consider the social importance of these actions within these countries as a global opportunity for psychology to stage in a complex context involving human health. The way psychology in BRICS will face this challenging situation is likely to produce important regional influence, stimulate scientific contribution, and increase the accessibility of psychology.

Clinical and Radiological Profiles of COVID-19 Patients with Neurological Symptomatology: A Comparative Study.

Patients with COVID-19 can require radiological examination, with chest CT being more frequent than neuro-imaging. The objective is to identify epidemiological, clinical and radiological factors considered as predictors of neurological involvement in patients with COVID-19 assessed by neuroimaging and to describe the neuroimaging findings. This retrospective study was performed with 232 consecutive confirmed COVID-19 patients, from two radiological units, which were divided into two groups: (1) those who underwent a brain CT/MRI scan (n = 35) versus (2) those who did not undergo the brain CT/MRI scan, but underwent only chest CT (n = 197). There was a statistically significant difference with associations regarding the COVID-19 brain scan group for: admission to ICU, greater severity of lung injuries, the use of a mechanical ventilator and sepsis. Statistical tendency was found for chronic renal failure and systemic arterial hypertension. Forty-percent of COVID-19 patients from the brain scan group were abnormal on brain CT and/or brain MRI (22.9% of the cases with bleeding or microbleeding, 8.6% with restricted diffusion lesions). One ischemic stroke case was associated with irregularity at the M1 segment of the right middle cerebral artery. There was a case of left facial nerve palsy with enhancement of the left geniculate ganglia. An analysis of the olfactory bulbs was possible in 12 brain MRIs and 100% had enhancement and/or microbleeding. In conclusion, a more severe COVID-19 disease from ICU, a more severe form of lung disease, the use of mechanical ventilator and sepsis were associated to the COVID-19 patients with neurological involvement who had undergone brain scans. Microvascular phenomenon was a frequent finding in the brain and olfactory bulbs evaluated by neuroimaging.
