ABSTRACT

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a group 1 carcinogen and the etiological agent of gastric diseases such as gastritis, ulcers, and gastric cancer. It infects approximately half of the world's population. Risk factors associated with H. pylori infection include socioeconomic status, lifestyle, and diet. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the association between eating habits and H. pylori infection in patients from a reference hospital in Central Brazil. Design: This cross-sectional study included 156 patients from 2019 to 2022. Methods: Data were collected using a structured questionnaire on sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics and a validated food frequency questionnaire. The H. pylori infection status (positive versus negative) was determined using the histopathological method. After grams/day, foods were stratified into tertiles of consumption (low, medium, and high). Simple and multiple binary logistic regression models were used in the analysis of odds ratios (ORs) and their respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs), with a 5% significance level. Results: The prevalence of H. pylori infection was 44.2% (69/156 patients). Infected individuals had a mean age of 49.6 ± 14.6 years; 40.6% were men, 34.8% were aged 60 years or older, 42.0% were unmarried, 7.2% had higher education, 72.5% were non-white, and 30.4% were obese. In the H. pylori-positive group, 55.1% were alcohol drinkers and 42.0% were smokers. The results of multiple analyses showed that the chance of H. pylori infection was higher among male participants (OR = 2.25; CI = 1.09-4.68) and individuals with obesity (OR = 2.68; CI = 1.10-6.51). Participants with moderate consumption of refined grains (bread, cookies, cakes, breakfast cereal) (OR = 2.41; CI = 1.04-5.62) and fruits (OR = 2.53; CI = 1.08-5.94) were more likely to be infected. Conclusion: In this study, male sex, obesity, and the consumption of refined grains and fruits were positively associated with H. pylori infection. Further research is needed to investigate this association and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

ABSTRACT

Since the introduction of the Zika virus (ZIKV) into Brazil in 2015, its transmission dynamics have been intensively studied in many parts of the country, although much is still unknown about its circulation in the midwestern states. Here, using nanopore technology, we obtained 23 novel partial and near-complete ZIKV genomes from the state of Goiás, located in the Midwest of Brazil. Genomic, phylogenetic, and epidemiological approaches were used to retrospectively explore the spatiotemporal evolution of the ZIKV-Asian genotype in this region. As a likely consequence of a gradual accumulation of herd immunity, epidemiological data revealed a decline in the number of reported cases over 2018 to 2021. Phylogenetic reconstructions revealed that multiple independent introductions of the Asian lineage have occurred in Goiás over time and revealed a complex transmission dynamic between epidemic seasons. Together, our results highlight the utility of genomic, epidemiological, and evolutionary methods to understand mosquito-borne epidemics. IMPORTANCE Despite the considerable morbidity and mortality of arboviral infections in Brazil, such as Zika, chikungunya, dengue fever, and yellow fever, our understanding of these outbreaks is hampered by the limited availability of genomic data to track and control the epidemic. In this study, we provide a retrospective reconstruction of the Zika virus transmission dynamics in the state of Goiás by analyzing genomic data from areas in Midwest Brazil not covered by other previous studies. Our study provides an understanding of how ZIKV initiates transmission in this region and reveals a complex transmission dynamic between epidemic seasons. Together, our results highlight the utility of genomic, epidemiological, and evolutionary methods to understand mosquito-borne epidemics, revealing how this toolkit can be used to help policymakers prioritize areas to be targeted, especially in the context of finite public health resources.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT National health is a new requirement for social development in the new era and in the current situation. At present, there is a problem of unbalanced development of public sports service system among various regions in China, especially the large gap between the East and the Midwest. In order to understand the development status of public sports service system in central and western regions from the perspective of national health strategy, this study constructed the evaluation index system of public sports service in central and western regions, and revised the indicators through two rounds of expert survey, and determined the index weight using AHP. On this basis, taking a city in the central and western region to represent public sports development, the validity and rationality of the evaluation model are verified. The research shows that the public sports service system of the city has a good level and the sports service system is relatively perfect, which can meet the diversified needs of residents participating in sports to a certain extent. Therefore, the development momentum of public sports service system in central and western regions is good, but it still needs to further promote the rational allocation of regional sports resources. It is hoped that this study can provide certain reference for the development of public sports service system in central and western regions from the perspective of national health strategy.


RESUMO A saúde nacional é uma nova exigência para o desenvolvimento social na nova era e na situação atual. Atualmente, existe um problema de desenvolvimento desequilibrado do sistema de serviço público de desporto entre várias regiões da China, com sobretudo uma grande lacuna entre as regiões leste e centro-oeste. A fim de compreender o estado de desenvolvimento do sistema de serviço público de desportos nas regiões central e ocidental a partir da Perspectiva da estratégia nacional de saúde, este estudo construiu o sistema de índice de avaliação do serviço público de desporto nas regiões central e ocidental, e revisou os indicadores através de duas rondas de inquéritos especializados, e determinou o peso do índice por meio do o processo hierárquico analítico (Analytic Hierarchy Process — AHP). Nesta base, verificou-se a validade e a racionalidade do modelo de avaliação, tomando uma cidade na região central e ocidental como representativa do desenvolvimento desportivo público. A pesquisa mostra que o sistema público de serviço esportivo da Cidade tem um bom nível e o sistema de serviço desportivo é relativamente perfeito, o que pode atender às necessidades diversificadas dos residentes que praticam esportes, em certa medida. Por conseguinte, o impulso para o desenvolvimento do sistema público de serviços desportivos nas regiões central e ocidental é positivo, mas ainda precisa de promover a alocação racional dos recursos desportivos regionais. Espera-se que este estudo possa fornecer certa referência para o desenvolvimento do sistema de serviço público de desporto nas regiões centrais e ocidentais, a partir da Perspectiva da estratégia nacional de saúde.


RESUMEN Resumen: La salud nacional es un nuevo requisito para el desarrollo social en la nueva era y en la situación actual. En la actualidad, existe un problema de desarrollo desequilibrado del sistema de servicios deportivos públicos entre varias regiones de China, especialmente la gran brecha entre el Este y el Medio Oeste. Con el fin de comprender el estado de desarrollo del sistema de servicios deportivos públicos en las regiones central y occidental desde la perspectiva de la estrategia nacional de salud, este estudio construyó el sistema de índices de evaluación del servicio deportivo público en las regiones central y occidental. Con ese sistema revisó los indicadores a través de dos rondas de encuestas entre expertos y determinó el peso del índice utilizando el proceso de jerarquía analítica (PJA). Sobre esta base, tomando una ciudad de la región central y una de la occidental para representar el desarrollo deportivo público, se verificó la vigencia y racionalidad del modelo de evaluación. La investigación muestra que el sistema público de servicios deportivos de la ciudad tiene un buen nivel y el sistema de servicios deportivos es relativamente perfecto, lo que puede satisfacer las diversas necesidades de los residentes que participan en deportes. Por lo tanto, el desarrollo del sistema de servicios deportivos públicos en las regiones central y occidental es bueno, pero aún debe promover más la asignación racional de los recursos deportivos regionales. Se espera que este estudio pueda proporcionar una referencia para el desarrollo del sistema público de servicios deportivos en las regiones central y occidental desde la perspectiva de la estrategia nacional de salud.

ABSTRACT

Human Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is expanding, and it is distributed in the five geographic regions of Brazil, with the Northeast being the region that presents the most significant number of registered cases. The main urban reservoir of the etiological agent of VL is the domestic dog, and it is known that canine cases precede human cases. One of the control actions of VL, recommended by the Ministry of Health, is performing the euthanasia of seropositive dogs. In 2013, in the municipality of Iguatama/MG, the first canine serological survey was carried out in the city, with a prevalence of 8.3% of seropositive dogs for Leishmania infantum. Of the seropositive animals for Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis (CVL) in this survey, 84% were euthanized, and 16% died within two years after diagnosis. No other control measures for CVL were taken in the municipality. The objectives of the present study were to determine the current prevalence of seropositive dogs for CVL in the municipality of Iguatama and to observe the impact of euthanasia of seropositive dogs to VL as the only control measure performed in this municipality, which is considered an enzootic area of the disease. For this, a new canine epidemiological survey was carried out in the municipality of Iguatama, following the guidelines of the Manual of Surveillance and Control of Visceral Leishmaniasis. Blood samples were collected from 270 dogs and tested by DPP® immunochromatographic test and by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The animals that presented inconclusive results had new blood samples collected and analyzed. The only animal that showed a positive result in DPP® and undetermined in the ELISA, in the first evaluation, became seropositive four months later, so this study reinforces the recommendation of the Ministry of Health to reassess dogs that present inconclusive results for CVL. From a total of 270 samples, 21 (7.8%) were reagents in both tests. Thus, the prevalence of seropositive dogs for CVL, in 2017, in the urban area of the municipality of Iguatama was 7.8%. The Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) molecular technique confirmed infection by L. infantum in the ten dogs sampled with CVL-positive serology. The comparison between the current prevalence (after euthanasia) with that found in 2013 (8.3%), there was no significant difference (p=0.764). The prevalence of CVL in the urban area of the municipality of Iguatama is still high, making it possible to presume that the euthanasia of seropositive dogs for CVL, and the absence of monitoring or other interventions measures, did not contribute to decrease the transmission of the parasite and was not sufficient for the control of CVL in the municipality of Iguatama, an area considered as non-endemic to CVL until 2013.(AU)


A Leishmaniose visceral humana (LV) está em franca expansão e distribuída nas cinco regiões geográficas do Brasil, o Nordeste sendo a região em que há o maior número de casos registrados. O principal reservatório urbano do agente etiológico da LV é o cão doméstico e sabe-se que casos caninos antecedem o aparecimento de casos humanos. Uma das ações de controle da LV, preconizada pelo Ministério da Saúde, é a eutanásia dos cães soro reagentes. Em 2013, no município de Iguatama/MG, foi realizado o primeiro inquérito sorológico canino na cidade, sendo constatada uma prevalência de 8,3% de cães soro reagentes para Leishmania infantum. Dos animais com sorologia positiva para Leishmaniose visceral canina (LVC), neste inquérito, 84% foram eutanasiados e 16% foram a óbito em, no máximo, dois anos após o diagnóstico. Nenhuma outra medida de controle para LVC foi realizada no município. Os objetivos deste estudo foram determinar a prevalência atual de cães soro reagentes para LVC no município de Iguatama e observar o impacto das eutanásias de cães soro reagentes para LV como única medida de controle realizada neste município, considerado área enzoótica para a doença. Para isso, foi realizado um novo inquérito epidemiológico canino no município de Iguatama, seguindo as normas do Manual de Vigilância e Controle da Leishmaniose Visceral. Foram colhidas amostras sanguíneas de 270 cães que foram examinadas pelo teste imunocromatográfico DPP® e pelo ensaio imunoenzimático (ELISA). Os animais que apresentaram resultados inconclusivos tiveram novas amostras de sangue coletadas e analisadas. O único animal que apresentou resultado positivo no DPP® e indeterminado no ELISA, na primeira avaliação, soro converteu quatro meses depois, o que reforça a recomendação do Ministério da Saúde de reavaliar os cães que apresentam resultado inconclusivo para LVC. Do total das 270 amostras, 21 foram reagentes nos dois testes. Portanto, a prevalência de cães soro reagentes para LVC, em 2017, na área urbana do município de Iguatama foi igual a 7,8%. A infecção pela espécie Leishmania infantum foi confirmada através da técnica molecular de PCR-RFLP em 10 cães amostrados com sorologia positiva para LVC. A comparação entre a prevalência atual (depois das eutanásias) com a encontrada em 2013 (8,3%), não mostrou diferença significativa (p=0,764). Uma vez que a soro prevalência de LVC na área urbana do município de Iguatama ainda é alta, pode-se supor que a eutanásia dos cães soro reagentes para LVC, somada à ausência de monitoramento e de outras medidas de intervenção, não contribuiu para a diminuição da transmissão do parasito, e não foi suficiente para o controle de LVC no município de Iguatama, uma área considerada, até 2013, indene para LVC.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Thematic analysis was used to analyze interview data from 15 first-generation Mexican immigrant women who resided in two rural Midwestern communities. Ten themes were identified and aligned with four thematic areas of interest ( meaning of being healthy, strategies to promote health, challenges to health, and supports for health). This study provides insights into the complexities and realities faced by Mexican immigrant women, as they strove to obtain optimal health in rural America, and contributes to the growing literature focused on health disparities among ethnic and racial minorities. Implications for research, professional practice, and public policy are discussed. Ethnographic and longitudinal studies that include the perspectives of populations that are difficult to reach such as first-generation Latino immigrant families are needed to further explore the nuances of achieving health in growing, diverse areas of rural America.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND The northern limits of Trypanosoma cruzi across the territory of the United States remain unknown. The known vectors Triatoma sanguisuga and T. lecticularia find their northernmost limits in Illinois; yet, earlier screenings of those insects did not reveal the presence of the pathogen, which has not been reported in vectors or reservoir hosts in this state. OBJECTIVES Five species of medium-sized mammals were screened for the presence of T. cruzi. METHODS Genomic DNA was isolated from heart, spleen and skeletal muscle of bobcats (Lynx rufus, n = 60), raccoons (Procyon lotor, n = 37), nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus, n = 5), Virginia opossums (Didelphis virginiana, n = 3), and a red fox (Vulpes vulpes). Infections were detected targeting DNA from the kinetoplast DNA minicircle (kDNA) and satellite DNA (satDNA). The discrete typing unit (DTU) was determined by amplifying two gene regions: the Spliced Leader Intergenic Region (SL), via a multiplex polymerase chain reaction, and the 24Sα ribosomal DNA via a heminested reaction. Resulting sequences were used to calculate their genetic distance against reference DTUs. FINDINGS 18.9% of raccoons were positive for strain TcIV; the rest of mammals tested negative. MAIN CONCLUSIONS These results confirm for the first time the presence of T. cruzi in wildlife from Illinois, suggesting that a sylvatic life cycle is likely to occur in the region. The analyses of sequences of SL suggest that amplicons resulting from a commonly used multiplex reaction may yield non-homologous fragments.

ABSTRACT

We described infracommunities, prevalence and mean intensity of infestation of ecotoparasite flies (Nycteribiidae and Streblidae) on bats in an ecotone area of Cerrado as predominant vegetation, with influence of Atlantic Forest, in the southeast of Mato Grosso do Sul. In 36 sampling nights between April 2015 and August 2016 (23,328 m².h), we captured 17 bat species, of which ten were infested, and 14 species of fly. The most abundant bats were the phyllostomids Artibeus planirostris (Spix, 1823), Glossophaga soricina (Pallas, 1776) and Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) and the most abundant flies were the streblids Trichobius longipes (Rudow, 1871), T. joblingi Wenzel, 1966 and Megistopoda aranea (Coquillett, 1899). Phyllostomus hastatus (Pallas, 1767) was the bat species that presented the highest infestation rate. Platyrrhinus lineatus (É. Geoffroy, 1810) and Desmodus rotundus (É. Geoffroy, 1810) were not infested. Besides that, the frequency of bats that were infested by a single species of fly was higher than the frequency of bats infested for two or more, and it may be a pattern.(AU)


Descrevemos infracomunidades, prevalência e intensidade média de infestação de moscas ectoparasitas (Nycteribiidae e Streblidae) sobre morcegos numa área de Cerrado como vegetação predominante, com influência de Mata Atlântica, no sudeste de Mato Grosso do Sul. Após 36 noites de coleta entre abril de 2015 e agosto de 2016 (23.328 m².h), capturamos 17 espécies de morcegos, das quais dez estavam infestadas, e 14 espécies de moscas. Os morcegos mais abundantes foram os filostomídeos Artibeus planirostris (Spix, 1823), Glossophaga soricina (Pallas, 1776) e Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) e as moscas mais abundantes foram as estréblidas Trichobius longipes (Rudow, 1871), T. joblingi Wenzel, 1966 e Megistopoda aranea (Coquillett, 1899). Phyllostomus hastatus (Pallas, 1767) foi a espécie de morcego que apresentou as taxas de infestação mais elevadas. Platyrrhinus lineatus (É. Geoffroy, 1810) e Desmodus rotundus (É. Geoffroy, 1810) não estavam infestados. Além disso, a frequência em que os morcegos estavam infestados por apenas uma espécie de mosca foi superior à dos que estavam infestados por duas ou mais, o que pode ser um padrão.(AU)

Os morcegos mais abundantes foram os filostomídeos Artibeus planirostris (Spix, 1823), Glossophaga soricina (Pallas, 1776) e Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) e as moscas mais abundantes foram as estréblidas Trichobius longipes (Rudow, 1871), T. joblingi Wenzel, 1966 e Megistopoda aranea (Coquillett, 1899). Phyllostomus hastatus (Pallas, 1767) foi a espécie de morcego que apresentou as taxas de infestação mais elevadas. Platyrrhinus lineatus (É. Geoffroy, 1810) e Desmodus rotundus (É. Geoffroy, 1810) não estavam infestados. Além disso, a frequência em que os morcegos estavam infestados por apenas uma espécie de mosca foi superior à dos que estavam infestados por duas ou mais, o que pode ser um padrão.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT We described infracommunities, prevalence and mean intensity of infestation of ecotoparasite flies (Nycteribiidae and Streblidae) on bats in an ecotone area of Cerrado as predominant vegetation, with influence of Atlantic Forest, in the southeast of Mato Grosso do Sul. In 36 sampling nights between April 2015 and August 2016 (23,328 m².h), we captured 17 bat species, of which ten were infested, and 14 species of fly. The most abundant bats were the phyllostomids Artibeus planirostris (Spix, 1823), Glossophaga soricina (Pallas, 1776) and Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) and the most abundant flies were the streblids Trichobius longipes (Rudow, 1871), T. joblingi Wenzel, 1966 and Megistopoda aranea (Coquillett, 1899). Phyllostomus hastatus (Pallas, 1767) was the bat species that presented the highest infestation rate. Platyrrhinus lineatus (É. Geoffroy, 1810) and Desmodus rotundus (É. Geoffroy, 1810) were not infested. Besides that, the frequency of bats that were infested by a single species of fly was higher than the frequency of bats infested for two or more, and it may be a pattern.

ABSTRACT

Clinical Paracoccidioides spp. isolates from patients with paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) in Mato Grosso, Brazil exhibit different patterns of serologic reactivity. The results observed for reactions of radial immunodiffusion against the commonly used exoantigens containing a 43-kDa glycoprotein (gp43) suggest that this fungus exhibits major antigenic variability by geographic region. There is a phylogenetic gap between Paracoccidioides spp. isolates among different regions of Latin America. In particular, those from the central region of Brazil (i.e. Mato Grosso state) exhibit a lower rate of genetic similarity. We aimed at investigating the phylogenetic classification of clinical isolates of Paracoccidioides spp. in Central Brazil and the different antigenic profiles that produce. Exoantigens were obtained from five clinical isolates: two P. brasiliensis (Pb166 and Pb2880) and three P. lutzii (PL2875, PL9840, and PL2912). The protein/glycoprotein profiles of P. lutzii exoantigens were different from each other. Isolate PL9840 exhibited the most distinct bands, and isolates PL2875 and PL2912 exhibited more diffuse bands and a very intense band between 50 and 60 kDa. P. brasiliensis isolates had similar protein profiles, exhibiting a low-intensity band at 220 kDa and a diffuse band between 50 and 60 kDa. P. lutzii isolates exhibit high species-specific antigen variability, which we have already been assessed in proteomic studies.
