Effects of vaccine registration on disease prophylaxis: a systematic review.

BACKGROUND: The impact of the pandemic caused by the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), causing the disease COVID-19, has brought losses to the world in terms of deaths, economic and health problems. The expected return of the public to activities adapted to the new health situation led to discussions about the use of vaccination and its effects. However, the demand for proof of vaccination showed how inconsistent, unregistered, and uncontrolled this health process is with current technologies. Despite the proven effectiveness of vaccines in reducing infection rates, mortality, and morbidity, there are still doubts about their use in preventing certain infections and injuries, as well as the use of digital medical records for identification at public events and disease prevention. Therefore, this review aims to analyze the use of digital immunization cards in disease prevention in general. METHODS: A systematic review of Science, PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS /BSV, CINALH, and IEEE and Xplore was performed using PRISMA guidelines. The authors summarized the studies conducted over the last decade on the impacts of prophylaxis by control through immunization cards. Studies were selected using the following terms: Vaccination; Mobile Applications; Health Smarts Cards; Immunization Programs; Vaccination Coverage. For data analysis, we used Mendeley, Excel, RStudio, and Bibliometrix software among others. RESULTS: A total of 1828 publications were found. After applying eligibility criteria (Articles published in Portuguese, Spanish or English in the last 10 years). Studies that only dealt with paper or physical records were excluded, as well as studies that were not linked to their country's health Department, as a possibility of bias exists with these types of information). After removing duplicates and applying filters 1 and 2, we included 18 studies in this review. This resulted in 18 papers that met our priori inclusion criteria; it was found that the most relevant sources were from the databases of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). CONCLUSIONS: Considering the selected studies, we found that scientific evidence and epidemiological surveillance are essential tools to characterize the efficiency and effectiveness of immunization passport protection intervention and to ethically justify them. Technological development of digital vaccine passports can assist in vaccination programs and positively impact disease prophylaxis.

Effects of photobiomodulation therapy in the integration of skin graft in rats.

Skin graft is one of the most common techniques used in plastic surgery and repair. However, there are some complications that can lead to loss of the skin graft. Thus, several features have been studied with the aim of promoting the integration of skin grafts. Among these resources, the use of laser photobiomodulation (laser PBM) has been highlighted. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of laser PBM on the viability and integration of skin grafts in rats. Twenty male Wistar rats (± 250 g) were randomly assigned into two experimental groups with 10 animals each: control group, animals submitted to skin graft and simulation of laser PBM; laser PBM group, submitted to the skin graft and submitted to laser PBM at 660 nm, 40 mW, 60 s, 2.4 J. The animals were submitted to laser photobiomodulation immediately after the surgical procedure and each 24 h. Animal euthanasia occurred on the 7th day after surgery, 24 h after the last treatment session. The histopathological analysis revealed that the laser PBM showed better adhesion of the graft when compared to the control group. Likewise, the morphometric analysis of mast cells, blood vessels, and collagen showed a statistically significant increase in the animals irradiated with the laser PBM when compared to the control group. In addition, immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that the laser PBM showed statistically higher immunoexpression of FGF when compared to the CG. However, IL-4 immunoexpression did not show statistical difference between the experimental groups. From the results obtained in the present study, it can be suggested that laser photobiomodulation was effective in promoting the integration and viability of total skin grafts in rats.

Alterações do equilíbrio escapular em escolares de 10 a 12 anos no município de Parnaíba/PI / Changes in the scapular balance of 10 to 12 years old children at Parnaíba/PI

Crianças adaptam-se rapidamente a uma nova postura e, se esteposicionamento for inadequado, pode acarretar em comprometimentoscorporais, prejudicando sua postura. Os padrões posturaisassumidos na infância progressivamente podem formar a posturado adulto. São inúmeras as variáveis que influenciam a ergonomiacorporal, dentre elas estão os distúrbios no equilíbrio escapular.Este estudo objetivou analisar quantitativamente as alteraçõesescapulares em escolares no município de Parnaíba/PI. Trata-se deum estudo transversal, onde foi realizada uma avaliação posturalem 148 crianças entre 10 e 12 anos de ambos os sexos. O testeutilizado na análise da verificação da variação de frequências e dograu de associação entre as variáveis foi o Qui-Quadrado. O nívelde significância estabelecido foi o equivalente a p < 0,05. O presenteestudo observou as seguintes alterações no equilíbrio estáticoda cintura escapular: (5,2%) protusão, (16,5%) adução, (20,6%)abdução, (27,8%) elevação. A taxa de normalidade foi 29,9%. Aalteração escapular mais comum nos alunos avaliados foi a elevaçãoescapular com 27,8%. Concluiu-se que 66,2% dos escolaresavaliados apresentaram alterações do alinhamento escapular e aocompararmos as outras alterações, há variação significativamentedistinta na prevalência da adução e protusão escapular...

Children adapt quickly to a new position but, if this position isinadequate, can lead to physical impairments, affecting definitivelythe posture. The postural patterns in childhood can gradually modifythe adult posture. There are numerous variables that influence thebody posture, among which are disturbances in the scapular balance.This study aimed to quantitatively analyze the changes in scapularbalance in children at Parnaíba/PI. It was a cross-sectional study onpostural evaluation in 148 children of both genders, 10 to 12 yearsold. The tests used in the analysis of verification of frequency rangesand the degree of association between variables were chi-square. Thesignificance level was equivalent to p < 0.05. The present study observedthe following changes in static balance of the shoulder girdle:(5.2%) protrusion, (16.5%) adduction, (20.6%) abduction (27.8%)increase. The rate of normality was 29.9%. The most commonchange in scapular balance students was elevation with 27.8%. It wasconcluded that 66.2% of schoolchildren present scapular alignmentchanges and, comparing to other changes, they present a significantprevalence of scapular adduction and protrusion...

Application of the laser radiation in patients of pressure ulcers: clinical and histomorphometric analysis of the derm

In this work, we analyze the clinical alterations and histological modifications in patients with not infect ulcers of pressure, submitted to the Laser irradiation GaAs (wavelength 904 nm, doses 3 J/cm², during 1 minute and prompt application) during 5 days consecutive and as a group radiated during 15 days alternating. In the clinical evaluation after the laser irradiation observed presence of exudation, granulation tissue and points of bleed after the third day of irradiation. The computerized morph quantitative analysis demonstrated that submitted to the laser irradiation during the 15 days busy area for the 4115,922 vases was of µm², and in the radiated ones during 5 4348,253 days of µm², both in a 0,25 area of cm² of derma. The gotten results suggest that this therapeutically one was efficient as to assist in the processes of tissue regeneration in the patients treated in the research.

Neste trabalho, analisamos as alterações clínicas e modificações histológicas em pacientes com úlceras de pressão não infectadas, submetidos à irradiação Laser AsGa (comprimento de onda 904 nm, dose 3 J/cm², durante 1 minuto e aplicação pontual) durante 5 dias consecutivos e um segundo grupo irradiado durante 15 dias alternados. Na avaliação clínica após a irradiação laser observou-se presença de exsudação, tecido de granulação e pontos de sangramento após o terceiro dia de irradiação. A análise morfológica e quantitativa computadorizada demonstrou que os submetidos à irradiação laser durante 15 dias a área ocupada pelos vasos foi de 4115922 µm², e nos irradiados durante 5 dias de 4348253 µm², ambos em uma área de 0,25 cm² de derme. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que esta terapêutica foi eficaz como auxiliar nos processos de regeneração tecidual nos pacientes tratados na pesquisa.
