ABSTRACT

A Promoção da Saúde defende que para produzirmos saúde é necessário termos capacidade de reconhecer e realizar desejos e projetos, satisfazer nossas necessidades, transformar e/ou criar mecanismos de convivência com a realidade social e ambiental. Nessa direção, saúde e qualidade de vida implicam em estarmos informados para decidir sobre os rumos singulares de nossas vidas e sobre os processos de determinação social que operam no cotidiano, associando-se à ideia de autonomia. O exercício da autonomia, que se distancia muito de uma liberdade individualista e ilimitada, vincula-se à ampliação da nossa capacidade reflexiva frente ao bombardeio de informações que nos cercam e nos chegam, notadamente com a presença e expansão das tecnologias digitais. Daí a importância, em especial no campo da Promoção da Saúde, da literacia em saúde. A literacia em saúde pode ser definida como a capacidade dos sujeitos em obter, compreender, avaliar criticamente e utilizar informações sobre saúde para seu próprio cuidado ou de terceiros. Ela envolve uma ampla gama de habilidades e competências, que são desenvolvidas ao longo da vida e que possuem influência de fatores demográficos, culturais, sociopolíticos e ambientais. Com as novas e crescentes exigências de compreensão e uso de informações sobre saúde na vida cotidiana, especialmente para enfrentarmos os riscos da desinformação, é fundamental ampliar o debate acerca da literacia em saúde. Esse foi o principal objetivo da I Mostra Brasileira de Literacia em Saúde, cujas conferências e trabalhos encontram-se sistematizados neste e-book.

ABSTRACT

Chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA) is a challenge in the management of cancer patients. Scalp cooling (SC) leads to reduction in CIA, however it is associated with significant adverse events, leading to 3-13% discontinuation rates. This pilot study evaluated the role of Electric Hand Warmers (EHW) on thermal (TC), sensorial (SCo) and general comfort (GC) in patients with breast cancer (BC) undergoing chemotherapy and SC to reduce CIA. Patients were randomly assigned to EHW use or observation. TC, SCo and GC were evaluated after each chemotherapy infusion. Favorable outcomes in both TC and SCo defined a positive result on GC. We analysed the impact of age, alopecia, chemotherapy regimen and EHW use in the different comfort scales using a Logistic Regression (LR) model. Forty women with early breast cancer were randomly assigned to EHW (n = 20) or observation (n = 20) during neo(adjuvant) chemotherapy. Median age was 53 years. In the EHW arm, favorable thermal response was reported by 79% versus 50% in the control arm (odds ratio [OR] 3.79, p < 0.001). SCo was satisfactory in 82% in the EHW arm versus 74% in the control arm (OR 1.62, p = 0.1). Overall, 73% in the EHW arm had favorable GC versus 44% in the control arm (OR 3.4, p < 0.001). Age, alopecia, and chemotherapy regimen did not impact on comfort measures. Conclusion: Our study suggests that the use of an EHW has a consistent favorable impact on TC and GC of BC patients under SC technology to prevent CIA.

ABSTRACT

Understanding racism as an integral part of Brazilian reality, constituting a social determinant of the health-disease process, this article seeks to reflect on the impacts of racism on subjectivity and contemplate the health care offered to black women. The reflections derive from a qualitative study using the biographical method, in which black women provided a narrative of their lives and experiences with racism. The narratives give visibility to the negative effects of living systematically under structural racism in the self-images of the interviewed women, as well as the lack of and/or poor effectiveness of public policies of integral health care to transform the status quo.


Compreendendo que o racismo integra a realidade brasileira constituindo um determinante social do processo saúde-doença, este artigo procura refletir acerca dos efeitos do racismo na subjetividade e sobre o cuidado ofertado às mulheres negras. As reflexões derivam de uma pesquisa qualitativa, utilizando o método biográfico, em que mulheres negras narraram suas vidas e suas experiências com o racismo. As narrativas visibilizam os efeitos negativos das vivências sistemáticas do racismo estrutural nas imagens sobre si das mulheres ouvidas e a falta e/ou pouca efetivação das políticas públicas existentes de saúde integral para transformar o status quo.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Continuous glucose monitoring systems have been validated for eu- and hyperglycemic cats. The FreeStyle Libre 2 (FSL2) is sufficiently accurate in people during hypoglycemia to guide critical treatment decisions without confirmation of blood glucose concentration (BG). OBJECTIVES: Assess FSL2 accuracy in cats with hypoglycemia. ANIMALS: Nine healthy, purpose-bred cats. METHODS: Hyperinsulinemic-hypoglycemic clamps were performed by IV infusion of regular insulin (constant rate) and glucose (variable rate). Interstitial glucose concentration (IG), measured by FSL2, was compared to BG measured by AlphaTrak2. Data were analyzed for all paired measurements (n = 364) and separately during stable BG (≤1 mg/dL/min change over 10 minutes). Pearson's r test, Bland-Altman test, and Parkes Error Grid analysis respectively were used to determine correlation, bias, and clinical accuracy (P < .05 considered significant). RESULTS: Overall, BG and IG correlated strongly (r = 0.83, P < .0001) in stable glycemia and moderately at all rates of change (r = 0.69, P < .0001). Interstitial glucose concentration underestimated BG in euglycemia, but the BG-IG difference was progressively smaller as BG decreased (12.9 ± 12.2, 8.8 ± 11.2, -3.2 ± 7.4, and -7.8 ± 5.2 mg/dL in the ranges of 80-120 [n = 64], 60-79 [n = 29], 50-59 [n = 71], and 29-49 mg/dL [n = 53], respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Although IG underestimates BG throughout most of the hypo-euglycemic range, IG generally overestimates BG in marked hypoglycemia (<60 mg/dL). It is therefore imperative to evaluate FSL2 results in this critical range with caution.

ABSTRACT

Levetiracetam (LEV) is an antiseizure medication (ASM) whose mechanism of action involves the modulation of neurotransmitters release through binding to the synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A. It is a broad-spectrum ASM displaying favorable pharmacokinetic and tolerability profiles. Since its introduction in 1999, it has been widely prescribed, becoming the first-line treatment for numerous epilepsy syndromes and clinical scenarios. However, this might have resulted in overuse. Increasing evidence, including the recently published SANAD II trials, suggests that other ASMs are reasonable therapeutic options for generalized and focal epilepsies. Not infrequently, these ASMs show better safety and effectiveness profiles compared to LEV (partially due to the latter's well-known cognitive and behavioral adverse effects, present in up to 20% of patients). Moreover, it has been shown that the underlying etiology of epilepsy is significantly linked to ASMs response in particular scenarios, highlighting the importance of an etiology-based ASM choice. In the case of LEV, it has demonstrated an optimal effectiveness in Alzheimer's disease, Down syndrome, and PCDH19-related epilepsies whereas, in other etiologies such as malformations of cortical development, it may show negligible effects. This narrative review analyzes the current evidence related to the use of LEV for the treatment of seizures. Illustrative clinical scenarios and practical decision-making approaches are also addressed, therefore aiming to define a rational use of this ASM.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Este ensaio reflete sobre o desmonte de uma Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) abrangente como etapa fundamental à desdemocratização que avança a passos largos no Brasil e no mundo nos últimos anos, sendo condição de possibilidade da consolidação de uma necropolítica neoliberal que busca se institucionalizar e silenciar quaisquer potências de vida. Ao mesmo tempo, este texto reafirma também que é por meio mesmo da APS que se pode inflexionar o timão - alterando a rota da barbárie para a qual se navega - em direção à utopia inspiradora do Sistema Único de Saúde e ao seu projeto civilizatório solidário e cidadão. Considerados os atributos e as diretrizes que fundam e organizam a APS brasileira e a concertação de vozes que enseja, esta reflexão propõe, por fim, que seja ali uma trincheira estratégica na luta para investir em uma sociedade efetivamente democrática, em que todos se reconheçam e afirmem como sujeitos políticos e de direitos em defesa da vida.


ABSTRACT This essay reflects on the dismantling of a comprehensive Primary Health Care (PHC) as a fundamental step in the de-democratization that has advanced in large steps both in Brazil and in the world in recent years. It asserts that this process is one of the conditions for the consolidation of a neoliberal necropolitics that seeks to institutionalize and silence any life potencies. At the same time, this text also reaffirms that it is through PHC itself that the helm can be inflected - altering the barbarism route to which we navigate - towards the inspiring utopia of the Unified Health System (SUS) and its solidary and citizen civilization project. Considering the attributes and guidelines that found and organize the Brazilian PHC and the concertation of voices that it entails, this reflection proposes, lastly, that PHC can be a strategic trench in the struggle to invest in an effectively democratic society, in which everyone recognizes and affirms themselves as political subjects, subjects who have rights, in defense of life.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess if a color scale in the endotracheal tube (ETT) can help operators to correctly select the size and depth of placement of the ETT and decrease the time required to complete the procedure and compared with the usual numeric ETT scale in a mannequin model. STUDY DESIGN: The study was conducted in eight centers. Each size of the ETT was identified with a different color. The experimental ETTs had two different colored areas, one for the mouthpiece and another to identify where the ETT should be taped above the lip (an area of 1 cm. The operators were trained as part of the protocol using an instructional video. Four clinical scenarios requiring endotracheal intubation were designed and randomly assigned. Each operator had to select the size and depth of ETT based on the birth weight (BW), and then had to perform four intubations. RESULTS: A total of 108 operators performed 432 intubations. No differences were found in the correct placement and selection of the ETT. Median time (in seconds) required for intubation using numeric versus experimental tube was: for ETT Ø NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation Program) 2.5, 11.5 versus 8 (p < 0.001), ETT Ø 3, 12 versus 10 (p < 0.001), ETT Ø 3.5, 15.5 versus12 (p = 0.003), ETT Ø 4, 12 versus11 (p = 0.019). CONCLUSION: No significant difference was observed in the selection and correct placement of the ETT. However, the intubation time was significantly shorter using the experimental ETT. This device could improve the effectiveness of intubation by reducing the time needed to properly place the ETT at mid trachea. KEY POINTS: · It is an innovative intervention to try to solve a great inconvenience of daily practice.. · The study also raises the difficulty in maintaining the ability of endotracheal intubation.. · It proposes a scale that ensures the correct location with a safe fixation zone..

ABSTRACT

Understanding infant diet is of great importance to elucidate its determining factors. It is known that parents exert great influence on the formation of their children's eating behavior and are able to define their children's eating patterns at other moments in their future life cycles. However, the effects of parental practices and perceptions on the food consumption and nutritional status of their children need to be elucidated more clearly. This study aimed to verify the association of parental practices and perceptions with food consumption and nutritional status of children. This is a cross-sectional study, conducted with parents and children aged two to six years old. Questionnaires were applied using the Google Forms® platform to investigate parental practices and perceptions, sociodemographic data, weight and height, child food consumption, and family food routine. The instruments used in data collection were the Child Feeding Questionnaire, the Child Feeding Frequency Questionnaire, and the authors' own questions. For statistical analysis, p<0.05 was considered significant. Sixty-eight parents of children were interviewed, of which 89.7% were mothers and 72.1% worked outside the home. Among children, 54.4% were male and 60.3% eutrophic. Among those parents who worked outside the home, preschoolers had most of their meals at school. There was an association between the parents' perception of the child's weight and nutritional status, frequency of parental responsibility in deciding the right type of food with the child's nutritional status, and parents' education. Controlling the intake of sweets was associated with parental age. Snack consumption by children was associated with parental education. It was concluded that parental practices and perceptions were associated with the nutritional status of preschoolers, but there was no association with food consumption.

Os instrumentos utilizados na coleta de dados foram o Questionário de Alimentação da Criança, Questionário de Frequência Alimentar da Criança e questões de autoria própria. Para análise estatística considerou-se significativo p<0,05. Foram entrevistados 68 pais de crianças, sendo que 89,7% eram mães e 72,1% trabalhavam fora de casa. Entre as crianças, 54,4% eram do sexo masculino e 60,3% eutróficos. Dentre aqueles pais que trabalhavam fora de casa, os pré-escolares realizavam a maior parte das refeições na escola. Verificou-se associação entre a percepção dos pais sobre o peso da criança e estado nutricional; frequência da responsabilidade dos pais em decidir o tipo correto de comida com o estado nutricional infantil e com a escolaridade dos pais. O controle da ingestão de doces associou-se à idade dos pais. O consumo de lanches pelas crianças associou-se a escolaridade dos pais. Concluiu-se que as práticas e percepções parentais foram associadas ao estado nutricional de pré-escolares, porém não houve associação com o consumo alimentar.

ABSTRACT

Estudos que avaliem a insegurança alimentar e sua associação com o consumo de frutas, legumes e verduras (FLV) podem auxiliar na identificação de grupos e fatores de risco para um consumo alimentar inadequado, a fim de propor intervenções nutricionais assertivas. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever o consumo de FLV por crianças em diferentes situações de segurança alimentar. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório de caráter transversal, conduzido com pais/ responsáveis de 44 crianças de zero a quatro anos. A versão curta da Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar e um Questionário de Frequência Alimentar foram aplicados aos pais/responsáveis via entrevista telefônica. As crianças tinham em média 2,6 anos, 56,8% eram do sexo feminino, 67,5% estavam eutróficas, e 70,5% das famílias estavam em situação de insegurança alimentar. Para os domicílios em situação de segurança alimentar, a mediana de consumo de FLV foi 213,4 g/dia (P25=97,89; P75=425,91). Já aqueles em situação de insegurança alimentar, a mediana de FLV foi de 105,4 g/dia (P25=33,58; P75=205,16). Concluiu-se que o consumo de FLV pelas crianças de famílias em situação de segurança alimentar é superior ao das crianças em situação de insegurança alimentar, as quais são fortemente influenciadas pela oferta de alimentos baratos e de baixa qualidade nutricional. Políticas públicas são necessárias para favorecer a garantia de acesso à FLV de qualidade e com custo acessível a todas as famílias.


Studies that assess food insecurity and its association with the consumption of fruits, legumes, and vegetables (FLV) can help identify groups and risk factors of inadequate food consumption, in order to propose assertive nutritional interventions. The aim of this study was to describe FLV consumption by children in different food security situations. This is an exploratory cross-sectional study, conducted with parents/guardians of 44 children from zero to four years old. The short version of the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale and a Food Frequency Questionnaire were applied to parents/guardians via a telephone interview. The children were 2.6 years old on average, 56.8% were female, 67.5% were eutrophic, and 70.5% of the families were in a situation of food insecurity. For households in a situation of food security, the median consumption of FLV was 213.4 g/day (P25=97.89; P75=425.91). As for those in a situation of food insecurity, the median FLV was 105.4 g/day (P25=33.58; P75=205.16). It was concluded that the consumption of FLV by children from families in a situation of food security is higher than that of children in a situation of food insecurity, who are strongly influenced by the offer of cheap food with low nutritional quality. Public policies are needed to favor the guarantee of access to FLV of quality and at an affordable cost for all families.

ABSTRACT

The article addresses some forms of sexual violence suffered by Latin American women during migratory transit through Mexico. In-depth, semi-structured, qualitative-phenomenological interviews were conducted with 10 women in different stages of major transmigration states. The findings demonstrate the ubiquity of sexual violence during the migration. Five themes were identified: (a) The migration dimension of "being a woman"; (b) Recognition of contextual factors associated with the migratory process: "Intermediaries, road, shelters and sisterhood"; (c) The costs of migration: Abuse, discrimination, and persecution: "Criminal groups, physical violence, and "La Bestia"; (d) Triggers and supports: "Escape and future expectations"; and (e) God as a support.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of video-assisted self-directed neonatal resuscitation skills course with video-assisted facilitator-led course. METHODS: This multicenter, randomized, blinded, non-inferiority-controlled trial compared two methods of teaching basic neonatal resuscitation skills using mask ventilation. Groups of novice providers watched an instructional video. One group received instructor facilitation (Ins-Video). The other group did not (Self-Video). An Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) measured skills performance, and a written test gauged knowledge. RESULTS: One hundred and thirty-four students completed the study. Sixty-three of 68 in the Self-Video Group (92.6%) and 59 of 66 in the Ins-Video Group (89.4%) achieved post-training competency in positive pressure ventilation (primary outcome). OSCE passing rates were low in both groups. Knowledge survey scores were comparable between groups and non-inferior. CONCLUSIONS: Video self-instruction taught novice providers positive pressure ventilation skills and theoretical knowledge, but it was insufficient for mastery of basic neonatal resuscitation in simulation environment.

ABSTRACT

A amamentação prolongada promove diversos benefícios à saúde da criança, bem como para mãe, família e sociedade. Diante disso e da escassez de estudos sobre os aspectos envolvidos na prática do aleitamento materno após o sexto de mês de vida, o presente estudo teve como objetivo conhecer os fatores que dificultam a manutenção do aleitamento materno estendido (a partir do sexto mês até dois anos ou mais). Tratou-se de um estudo transversal, realizado em quatro unidades básicas de saúde, sorteadas, localizadas no município de Guarulhos. A amostra foi composta por mães usuárias e funcionárias das unidades básicas de saúde em questão com filhos de seis a vinte e quatro meses de idade. Para a coleta de dados foram utilizados dois questionários informativos com as variáveis do estudo. As análises de regressão simples e múltipla foram usadas para investigar a associações entre as variáveis. A utilização de mamadeira e de chupeta foram fatores importantes para a interrupção do aleitamento materno estendido. No entanto, na análise ajustada, tem-se que a idade materna predispõe a interrupção da amamentação estendida. De acordo com o modelo múltiplo de regressão logística, a utilização de chupeta aumenta em quase 20 vezes a chance de não manutenção do aleitamento materno estendido e crianças que utilizam mamadeira têm esta chance aumentada em seis vezes. Conclui-se que o avançar da idade da criança, a mamadeira e a chupeta foram determinantes para a não manutenção do aleitamento materno estendido. O retorno ao trabalho e o armazenamento do leite materno foram apontados como as principais dificuldades para manutenção da amamentação.


Prolonged breastfeeding promotes several health benefits for the child, as well as for the mother, family, and society. Given this and the scarcity of studies on the aspects involved in the practice of breastfeeding after the sixth month of life, the present study aimed to discover the factors that make it difficult to maintain breastfeeding (from six monthx to two years or more). This was a cross-sectional study, carried out in four randomly selected basic health units located in the city of Guarulhos. The sample consisted of mothers and employees of the basic health units in question, with children aged between six and twenty-four months old. For data collection, two informative questionnaires with the study variables were used. Simple and multiple regression analyses were used to investigate associations between variables. The use of a bottle and a pacifier were important factors for the interruption of prolonged breastfeeding. However, in the adjusted analysis, maternal age predisposes them to interrupt of prolonged breastfeeding. According to the multiple logistic regression model, the use of a pacifier increases the chance of not maintaining prolonged breastfeeding by almost 20-fold, and children who use a bottle have this chance increased by six-fold. It is concluded that the child aging, bottle use, and pacifier use were decisive factors for not maintaining prolonged breastfeeding.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Partindo das análises foucaultianas quanto à relação de imanência em que se constituem capitalismo, biopoder e medicalização da vida, analisamos as modulações neoliberais das relações de poder-saber e a produção de um sujeito empresário de si, que trabalha por um desempenho ótimo em todos os campos da existência. Interessa-nos problematizar as repercussões dessa lógica econômica no campo da saúde na medida em que engendra subjetividades previdentes, que devem seguir as prescrições do aparato biomedicina, epidemiologia e promoção da saúde para assegurar longevidade e vitalidade, assim como seu investimento na construção da velhice como um Universal, cuja experiência oscila entre fragilidade/envelhecimento ativo. Nossas reflexões se fazem numa incursão etnográfica à Ala dos Cabelos Brancos, velha guarda do GRES Império Serrano, onde cartografamos os modos de produção de si e de realidade que acionam como universo de referência o mundo do samba e estabelecem sentidos singulares para saúde e velhice.


Resumen A partir de los análisis foucaultianos sobre la relación de inmanencia en la que se constituyen el capitalismo, el biopoder y la medicalización de la vida, analizamos las modulaciones neoliberales de las relaciones poder-conocimiento y la producción de un sujeto emprendedor que trabaja por un óptimo desempeño en todos campos de existencia. Nos interesa problematizar las repercusiones de esta lógica económica en el campo de la salud en tanto engendran subjetividades preventivas, que deben seguir las prescripciones del aparato de biomedicina, epidemiología y promoción de la salud para asegurar la longevidad y vitalidad, así como su inversión en la construcción de la vejez como Universal, cuya experiencia oscila entre fragilidad/envejecimiento activo. Nuestras reflexiones se realizan en una incursión etnográfica en el "Ala de Cabello Blanco", la vieja guardia de GRES Imperio Serrano, donde mapeamos los modos de producción del yo y la realidad que disparan el mundo de la samba como universo de referencia y establecen sus significados únicos acerca de la salud y la vejez.


Abstract Starting from the Foucaultian analyses regarding the immanence relation in which capitalism, biopower and medicalization of life are constituted, we analyse the neoliberal modulations of power-knowledge relations and the production of a self-entrepreneur's subject, who works for a great performance on all fields of existence. We are interested in problematizing the repercussions of this economic logic on the health field as it engenders foresightful subjectivities. In this context, these must follow the prescriptions of the biomedicine, epidemiology and health promotion apparatus to ensure longevity and vitality, as well as its investment in the construction of old age as a Universal, whose experience fluctuates between frailty/active aging. Our reflections are made in an ethnographic foray into the "Ala dos Cabelos Brancos", the old guard of GRES Imperio Serrano, where we map the modes of production of self and reality that set the samba world as a reference universe and establish unique meanings for health and old age.
