RESUMO
The persistence of symptoms for more than three months following infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is referred to as "Long COVID". To gain a deeper understanding of the etiology and long-term progression of symptoms, this study aims to analyze the prevalence of Long COVID and its associated factors in a cohort of Brazilian adults and elders, twelve months after hospital discharge. An observational, prospective, and follow-up study was performed with a cohort of adults and older adults diagnosed with COVID-19 in 2020 in the State of Paraná, Brazil. Twelve months after hospital discharge, patients answered a phone questionnaire about the persistence of symptoms after three levels of exposure to COVID-19's acute phase (ambulatory, medical ward, and intensive care unit). According to the characteristics of participants, the prevalence of Long COVID-19 was calculated, and logistic regression analyses were conducted. We analyzed data from 1822 participants (980 adults [≥18-<60 years] and 842 older people [≥60 years]) across three exposure levels. The overall Long COVID prevalence was 64.2%. Long COVID was observed in 646 adults (55%; of which 326 were women) and 523 older people (45%; of which 284 were women). Females had a higher prevalence of long-term symptoms (52%) compared with men. The most common post-COVID-19 conditions in the 12-month follow-up were neurological (49.8%), followed by musculoskeletal (35.1%) and persistent respiratory symptoms (26.5%). Male individuals were less likely to develop Long COVID (aOR = 0.50). Other determinants were also considered risky, such as the presence of comorbidities (aOR = 1.41). Being an adult and having been hospitalized was associated with the development of Long COVID. The risk of developing Long COVID was twice as high for ward patients (aOR = 2.53) and three times as high for ICU patients (aOR = 3.56) when compared to non-hospitalized patients. Presenting clinical manifestations of digestive (aOR = 1.56), endocrine (aOR = 2.14), cutaneous (aOR = 2.51), musculoskeletal (aOR = 2.76) and psychological systems (aOR = 1.66) made adults more likely to develop Long COVID. Long COVID was present in a large proportion of people affected by the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Presence of Long COVID symptoms displayed a dose-response relationship with the level of disease exposure, with a greater prevalence of symptoms associated with the severe form in the acute period.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the temporal trend in the incidence of tuberculosis-HIV coinfection in Brazil, by macro-region, Federative Unit, sex and age group, from 2010 to 2021. METHODS: This was a time series study using surveillance data to estimate average annual percentage changes (AAPC), and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) via joinpoint regression. RESULTS: 122,211 cases of tuberculosis-HIV coinfection were analyzed; a falling trend was identified for Brazil as a whole (AAPC = -4.3; 95%CI -5.1;-3.7), and in the country's Southern (AAPC = -6.2; 95%CI -6.9;-5.5) and Southeast (AAPC = -4.6; 95%CI -5.6;-3.8) regions, even more so during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021); the greatest falling trend was seen in Santa Catarina (AAPC = -9.3; 95%CI -10.1;-8.5), while the greatest rising trend was found in Tocantins (AAPC = 4.1; 95%CI 0.1;8.6); there was a rising trend among males, especially in Sergipe (AAPC = 3.9; 95%CI 0.4;7.9), and those aged 18 to 34 years, especially in Amapá (AAPC = 7.9; 95%CI 5.1;11.5). CONCLUSION: The burden and trends of tuberculosis-HIV coinfection were geographically and demographically disparate.

RESUMO
RESUMO: Objetivo: analisar a distribuição espacial da violência contra a pessoa idosa na região Sul do Brasil antes e no primeiro ano de vigência da pandemia de COVID-19. Método: estudo ecológico que analisou as notificações de violência contra o idoso, entre 2019 e 2020, no Sul do Brasil. Foram calculadas as taxas bayesianas empíricas locais, o Índice de Autocorrelação Local de Moran e a análise de Getis Ord Gi. Resultados: houve redução da taxa suavizada de violência contra o idoso. As cidades alto-alto e hot-spot em 2019, se tornaram mais violentas em 2020; e as cidades com baixa prevalência, se tornaram menos violentas em 2020. As maiores taxas de letalidade por COVID-19 também foram naquelas cidades com maiores taxas de violência. Conclusão: os dados reforçam a complexidade da violência e seu agravamento pela pandemia. E contribuem com as tomadas de decisões na enfermagem, desatacando-se a necessidade de suscitar novas pesquisas sobre esta temática.
ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the spatial distribution of violence against older adults in the Brazilian South region before and in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: an ecological study that analyzed reports of violence against older adults between 2019 and 2020, in Southern Brazil. Local empirical Bayesian rates, Moran's Local Autocorrelation Index and Getis Ord Gi analysis were calculated. Results: there was a reduction in the smoothed rate of violence against older adults. The high-high and hot-spot cities in 2019 became more violent in 2020; and cities with low prevalence became less violent in 2020. The highest COVID-19 fatality rates were also in those cities with the highest violence rates. Conclusion: the data reinforces the complexity of violence and its worsening due to the pandemic. In addition, they contribute to decision-making in Nursing, highlighting the need to encourage new research studies on this theme.

RESUMO
Knowledge of the embryonic development of species such as quail is important for our understanding of its production and reproduction. Quail provides a practical solution to the animal protein shortage problem in developing countries and is an excellent alternative to chicken (Shanaway, 1994). This study evaluated quail embryonic viability by comparing the main morphological changes that occur over the development in a homemade incubator with previous data; the incubator was built using easily accessible and low-cost materials, which allows small producers and communities to develop quail farms as an activity to increase income or even produce a source of animal protein for the community in the Brazilian Amazon region. The homemade incubator measured 40 cm × 42 cm × 32 cm and was constructed with wooden boards, a digital thermostat, and an incandescent lamp. A total of 24 fertile eggs were incubated at a temperature of 37.5 °C and 60% relative humidity; age "0" was set at the start of incubation. Two eggs were opened on each day of development, starting from day 5 to day 16 of incubation. After gently opening the eggs, the embryos were removed, separated from the placenta and amniotic fluid, washed with running water, and weighed on a digital scale (SHIMADZU AUY 220 brand and UNI BLOC model). Crown-rump length and other measurements were performed with a digital caliper and the morphological structures were observed using a stereomicroscope (NOVA brand and NOVA ZTX-E model). All eggs opened contained live embryos, indicating that the homemade incubator temperature, relative humidity, and manual turning were adequate to maintain the quail's viability. The morphometric data of the embryos at different developmental time points were similar to those described in the literature. Embryos weighed 0.0069 g at day 5 and 4.7863 g at day 16, and the crown-rump length (CRL) means were 0.368 cm and 3.657 cm, respectively. Weight and CRL increased by 0.434 g and 2.593 cm per day of incubation, respectively. In conclusion, after 16 days of incubation in a homemade incubator, the embryos presented all phases of the development cycle, with appropriate development of weight and height based on the days of incubation without anomaly or external interference. These findings demonstrate that the homemade incubator does not alter the embryonic development of quail embryos in the Brazilian Amazon region.
O conhecimento do desenvolvimento embrionário de espécies como a codorna é importante para nosso entendimento de sua produção e reprodução. A codorna fornece uma solução prática para o problema de escassez de proteína animal nos países em desenvolvimento e é uma excelente alternativa ao frango (Shanaway, 1994). Este estudo avaliou a viabilidade embrionária de codornas comparando as principais alterações morfológicas que ocorrem ao longo do desenvolvimento em uma incubadora caseira com dados anteriores; a incubadora foi construída com materiais de fácil acesso e baixo custo, o que permite que pequenos produtores e comunidades desenvolvam criações de codornas como atividade para aumentar a renda ou mesmo produzir uma fonte de proteína animal para comunidades da Amazônia brasileira. A incubadora caseira media 40 cm × 42 cm × 32 cm e foi construída com tábuas de madeira, termostato digital e lâmpada incandescente. Um total de 24 ovos férteis foram incubados a uma temperatura de 37,5 °C e 60% de umidade relativa; idade "0" foi definida no início da incubação. Dois ovos foram abertos a cada dia de desenvolvimento, começando do dia 5 ao dia 16 de incubação. Após a abertura cuidadosa dos ovos, os embriões foram retirados, separados da placenta e do líquido amniótico, lavados em água corrente e pesados em balança digital (marca SHIMADZU AUY 220 e modelo UNI BLOC). O comprimento cabeça-cauda e demais medidas foram realizadas com paquímetro digital e as estruturas morfológicas foram observadas com auxílio de estereomicroscópio (marca NOVA e modelo NOVA ZTX-E). Todos os ovos abertos continham embriões vivos, indicando que a temperatura da incubadora caseira, a umidade relativa e a viragem manual foram adequadas para manter a viabilidade das codornas. Os dados morfométricos dos embriões em diferentes momentos do desenvolvimento foram semelhantes aos descritos na literatura. Os embriões pesaram 0,0069 g no dia 5 e 4,7863 g no dia 16, e as médias do comprimento cabeça-cauda (CRL) foram de 0,368 cm e 3,657 cm, respectivamente. Peso e CRL aumentaram 0,434 g e 2,593 cm por dia de incubação, respectivamente. Em conclusão, após 16 dias de incubação em incubadora caseira, os embriões apresentaram todas as fases do ciclo de desenvolvimento, com desenvolvimento adequado de peso e altura com base nos dias de incubação sem anomalia ou interferência externa. Esses achados demonstram que a incubadora caseira não altera o desenvolvimento embrionário de embriões de codorna na Amazônia brasileira.
RESUMO
Resumo Objetivo Analisar as medidas antropométricas associadas ao tempo de encarceramento de pessoas privadas de liberdade. Métodos Estudo transversal, realizado com 220 homens privados de liberdade. Os dados foram coletados por meio de instrumento que abrangia informações do encarceramento atual, sociodemográficas e das condições de vida antes do encarceramento, além de aferição de medidas antropométricas. Utilizaram-se estatística descritiva, testes de associações e ajuste de modelos de regressão logística binária controlados pelo tempo de encarceramento (até 1ano e mais de 1ano). Resultados Houve associação significativa entre o tempo de encarceramento e a circunferência abdominal (RC de 0,41; IC95%0,16-0,97). Os resultados da correlação de Spearman apontaram que, à medida que aumentou o tempo de encarceramento, as medidas antropométricas diminuíram, com relação negativa de fraca magnitude e significativa apenas para o índice de conicidade (r=-0,1648; p=0,0144). Os modelos ajustados controlados pelo tempo de encarceramento mostraram associações significativas com idade em anos (RC de 1,08; IC95%=1,04;1,12) e circunferência abdominal; idade (RC de 1,08; IC95%1,04-1,12) e razão cintura e estatura; e idade (RC de 1,10; IC95%1,06-1,14), anos de estudo (RC de 2,17; IC95%1,10-4,26) e possuir parceiro(a) (RC de 0,46; IC95%0,22-0,93) com o índice de conicidade. Conclusão À medida que aumenta o tempo de encarceramento, há redução das medidas antropométricas das pessoas privadas de liberdade. As variáveis antropométricas influenciam diretamente no desenvolvimento de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis e devem ser monitoradas para elaboração de estratégias que minimizem os riscos e os agravos à saúde dessa população vulnerável.

Métodos Estudio transversal, realizado con 220 hombres privados de la libertad. Los datos fueron recopilados mediante un instrumento que incluía información del encarcelamiento actual, sociodemográfica y de las condiciones de vida antes del encarcelamiento, además de la comparación de medidas antropométricas. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva, pruebas de asociación y ajuste de modelos de regresión logística binaria controlados por el tiempo de encarcelamiento (hasta 1 año y más de 1 año). Resultados Hubo asociación significativa entre el tiempo de encarcelamiento y la circunferencia abdominal (RC de 0,41; IC95%0,16-0,97). Los resultados de la correlación de Spearman indicaron que, a media que aumentaba el tiempo de encarcelamiento, las medidas antropométricas disminuían, con relación negativa de escasa magnitud y significativa para el índice de conicidad (r=-0,1648; p=0,0144). Los modelos ajustados controlados por el tiempo de encarcelamiento mostraron asociaciones significativas con la edad en años (RC de 1,08; IC95%=1,04;1,12) y circunferencia abdominal; edad (RC de 1,08; IC95%1,04-1,12) y razón de cintura y estatura; y edad (RC de 1,10; IC95%1,06-1,14), años de estudio (RC de 2,17; IC95%1,10-4,26) y tener pareja (RC de 0,46; IC95%0,22-0,93) con el índice de conicidad. Conclusión A medida que aumenta el tiempo de encarcelamiento, hay una reducción de las medidas antropométricas de las personas privadas de la libertad. Las variables antropométricas influyen directamente en el desarrollo de enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles y deben controlarse para la elaboración de estrategias que minimicen los riesgos y los agravios a la salud de esta población vulnerable.
Abstract Objective To analyze the anthropometric measures associated with incarceration length of people deprived of their liberty. Methods This is a cross-sectional study carried out with 220 men deprived of their liberty. Data were collected using an instrument that included information on current incarceration, sociodemographic information and living conditions before incarceration, in addition to measuring anthropometric measures. Descriptive statistics, association tests and adjustment of binary logistic regression models controlled by incarceration length (up to 1 year and more than 1 year) were used. Results There was a significant association between incarceration length and abdominal circumference (OR 0.41; 95%CI 0.16-0.97). The results of Spearman's correlation showed that, as the incarceration length increased, the anthropometric measures decreased, with a negative relationship of weak magnitude and significant only for the conicity index (r=-0.1648; p=0.0144). Adjusted models controlled for incarceration length showed significant associations with age in years (OR 1.08; 95%CI=1.04;1.12) and abdominal circumference; age (OR 1.08; 95%CI 1.04-1.12) and waist-to-height ratio; and age (OR 1.10; 95%CI 1.06-1.14), years of education (OR 2.17; 95%CI 1.10-4.26) and having a partner (OR 0 .46; 95%CI0.22-0.93) with the conicity index. Conclusion As incarceration length increases, there is a reduction in the anthropometric measures of persons deprived of their liberty. Anthropometric variables directly influence the development of non-communicable chronic diseases and must be monitored to develop strategies that minimize the risks and health problems of this vulnerable population.

Abstract Objective To analyze the main causes and trends in preventable early and late neonatal mortality according to Brazilian regions. Methods This is an ecological time series study carried out with records of neonatal deaths from 2000 to 2018 through the Mortality Information System. To classify the avoidable causes, the Unified Health System List of Preventable Causes of Death by Interventions (Lista de Causas de Mortes Evitáveis por Intervenções do Sistema Único de Saúde) was used. From mortality rates of early and late neonatal components, joinpoint regressions of the main causes were performed using the Annual Percentage Change and Average Annual Percentage Change. Results The highest avoidable mortality rates were found in the early neonatal phase. The South had the lowest avoidable mortality rates. The main causes according to groups on the list were tetanus of newborns, respiratory distress syndrome, birth asphyxia, bacterial septicemia, pneumonia and sudden death syndrome. The reduction in early neonatal mortality was higher from 2000 to 2004 (4.19% per year, p<0.001) and lower between 2012 and 2018 (1.80% per year, p<0.001). Considering late neonatal mortality, there was an average annual reduction of 2.02% (p<0.001). The Northeast had more than one turning point in the trend of mortality due to respiratory distress and asphyxia at birth and stability due to septicemia. In the South, a downward trend was identified for all the preventable causes studied. Conclusion There was a lower reduction in early neonatal mortality and inequalities in the trend of preventable neonatal mortality according to causes and regions of residence.
RESUMO
Objective: Compare the breast cancer mortality rate and the rate of mammograms with socioeconomic factors, in Brazilian´s Federative Units, during the period of 2015 to 2021. Methods: This is an ecological study, of a descriptive nature, which covers the 27 Brazilian federative units, using secondary data extracted from the DATASUS System. The information analyzed was mammography data, breast cancer mortality, demographic and economic data of the resident population and women over 20 years of age. Results: There is a direct relationship between mortality rate and mammograms rates in the Federative Units. The data obtained for Brazil presents a total of 133,048 deaths from breast cancer and 17,324,526 mammography exams in the period from 2015 to 2021. In other words, Brazil presents a standardized mortality rate value, 19.25 deaths per 100,000 women. Regarding the mammography rate, the value of the exam-specific mammography rate was 2,506.55 per 100,000 women. In relation to socioeconomic data by mortality rate group, higher mortality rates from breast cancer present higher rates in the variables: income rate by State (2,594.86), people with income (63.5), average percentage of women with more over 50 years old (29.5%), women with average years of education (6.64), white population (55.1%) and mammography exam rate (2873.20). When analysing the highest rates of mammography exam rates, higher rates are observed income rate by State (2,161.47), people with income (62.5%), average percentage of women over 50 years old (28.6%), women with an average number of years of education (5.8). Conclusion: Brazil has a high mortality rate due to breast cancer, when compared to other countries. The reasons are diverse, such as the modern, industrialized and populous lifestyle. The Federative Units with the highest mortality rate also have high rates of mammograms, that is, in the Federative Units with "better" sociodemographic conditions, the South and Southeast.

Observaram-se altas taxas de mortalidade entre adultos jovens em comparação às observadas nos adolescentes, tendência crescente na região Norte, entre a faixa etária de 10 a 14 anos. Houve maior taxa de mortalidade para o sexo masculino em todas as regiões, redução da taxa média anual para o branco e aumento para raça/cor parda. Conclusão nota-se tendência de aumento com posterior decréscimo nos últimos anos, com importantes disparidades regionais. A faixa etária de 20 a 24 anos e o sexo masculino apresentaram maiores taxas médias de óbitos ocasionadas por esse agravo. Contribuições para a prática os achados conduzem especialmente ao planejamento em saúde, considerando especificidades do público e das regiões com maiores tendências, aprimorando, assim, as políticas públicas.
ABSTRACT Objective to analyze the trends of mortality from HIV/AIDS in adolescents and young adults. Methods ecological, time series investigation of deaths by HIV/AIDS in adolescents and young adults, from 2009-2019 in Brazil, in populated areas included in records from the System of Information on Mortality. We applied correcting factors to the mortality rates and carried out analysis using polynomial regression modeling. Results we analyzed 6,344 deaths by HIV/AIDS in adolescents and young adults. We found high mortality rates in young adults when compared to adolescents. There was a growing trend in the north of the country, in the age group from 10 to 14. Mortality rates were higher among males in all regions, with a reduction in the mean rate for white persons and an increase for black/brown persons. Conclusion there was an increasing trend, followed by a decrease in the last few years, with relevant differences between regions. The age group from 20 to 24 and males presented the highest mean rates of deaths from this disease. Contributions to practice most of all, our findings give support to health planning, considering the specificities of the public and the regions with the most growing trends, thus helping improve public policies.

OBJECTIVE: estimate the risk for the occurrence of lethal violence against women and to identify the associated factors in the state of Paraná. METHOD: ecological study of deaths of women aged between 15 and 59 years, victims of aggression. The units of analysis were the cities of Paraná. Latent Bayesian Gaussian models with negative binomial probability distribution were used. The modeling considered intercept, spatial random effects and covariates, performed with the deterministic Integrated Nested Laplace Approximations approach. RESULTS: There was a positive association between lethal violence against women and the percentage of mothers who were heads of households. Finally, male homicide rates, rates of non-lethal violence against women and the cities with women mayors and councilors were also associated. CONCLUSION: This type of violence was associated with low education, structural violence and the participation of women in politics.

OBJECTIVES: to analyze colorectal cancer mortality trends in women in Brazil and its regions and states. METHODS: ecological, time-series study with trend analysis of deaths caused by colorectal cancer in women in Brazil and its regions and states between 2008 and 2019. Polynomial regression was used to treat the data. RESULTS: 48,225 deaths of women caused by colorectal cancer were examined. There was an increasing mortality trend in Brazilian women, with regional differences that resulted from socioeconomic, political, and cultural inequalities. The South Region stood out with the highest rate (7.32) in 2008, which increased to 8.65 in 2019, followed by the Southeast Region, whose rates were 6.72 and 9.05 in 2008 and 2019, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: colorectal cancer mortality increased, which indicates the need to expand public policies oriented toward screening and early diagnosis of colorectal cancer in women.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the time trend and the spatial distribution of the cases of lethal violence against women in Brazil, according to age group and to race/skin color. METHOD: an ecological study of time series, with spatial distribution of the deaths of women victims of aggression, registered in the Mortality Information System, resident in Brazil, Brazilian geographic regions and states. Due to underreporting of deaths in some states, correction factors of the mortality rates were employed. For the trend analysis, we adopted the polynomial regression model. In addition to that, the mean rates and annual upward/downward trends were distributed considering the Brazilian federative units as analysis units. RESULTS: the mean rate was 6.24 cases of lethal violence per 100,000 women, with a significant variation across the Brazilian regions and states. The main victims of violent death in Brazil are young, black-/brown-skinned and indigenous women, with a growing trend in these population segments. The North and Northeast regions stood out with the most significant mean annual increases (0.33; r2= 0.96 and 0.26; r2= 0.92, respectively). CONCLUSION: there was a stable trend regarding lethal violence against women, with significant regional differences. Young, black-/brown-skinned and indigenous women are more vulnerable to violent death in Brazil.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the characteristics associated with vaccination against Covid-19 in pregnant and postpartum women with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in Brazil and to investigate a possible association between vaccination and the clinical course and outcome of the disease. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of hospitalized pregnant and postpartum women diagnosed with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) by SARS-CoV-2, presenting onset of signs and symptoms between May and October 2021. Secondary data were used, available in the Influenza Epidemiological Surveillance Information System (SIVEP-Gripe). Data were analyzed using the SPSS statistical program, medians were applied to present continuous variables and frequencies, and proportions were calculated for categorical variables, using logistic and multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS: The final study population included 3,585 pregnant and postpartum women, of whom 596 (16.6) were vaccinated: 443 (74.3%) received one dose and 153 (25.7%) received two doses. They were factors associated with non-vaccination against Covid-19 age ≤ 19 anos (OR: 2.57; IC95% 1.40;4.71), non-white women (OR: 1.34; IC95% 1.07;1.67) and those who required ventilatory support (OR: 1.51; IC95% 1.19;1.90) and invasive ventilation (OR: 2.05; IC95% 1.37;3.08). On the other hand, vaccination was associated with advanced maternal age (OR: 0.60; IC95% 0.48;0.76), presence of comorbidities (OR: 0.57; IC95% 0.45;0.72) and loss of taste (OR: 0.63; IC95% 0.48;0.82). CONCLUSIONS: Demographic, ethnic-racial and clinical characteristics were associated with the vaccination status of pregnant and postpartum women with SARS by SARS-CoV-2 in Brazil. Vaccination against Covid-19 in the obstetric population has already shown positive results in the evolution of severe cases, which reiterates its importance. It is essential that health services advance vaccination against Covid-19 in the obstetric population, especially adolescentes and non-white women.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the spatial correlation between confirmed cases of covid-19 and the intensive care unit beds exclusive to the disease in municipalities of Paraná. METHODS: This is an epidemiological study of ecological type which used data from the Epidemiological Report provided by the Department of Health of Paraná on the confirmed cases of covid-19 from March 12, 2020, to January 18, 2021. The number of intensive care beds exclusive to covid-19 in each municipality of Paraná was obtained by the Cadastro Nacional de Estabelecimentos de Saúde (CNES - National Registry of Health Establishments), provided online by the Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (Datasus - Informatics Department of the Brazilian Unified Health System). The Bivariate Moran's Index (local and global) was used to analyze the intensive care bed variable and spatial correlation, with a 5% significance level. LISA Map was used to identify critical and transition areas. RESULTS: In the analyzed period, we found 499,777 confirmed cases of covid-19 and 1,029 intensive care beds exclusive to the disease in Paraná. We identified a positive spatial autocorrelation between the confirmed cases of covid-19 (0.404-p ≤ 0.001) and intensive care beds exclusive to the disease (0.085-p ≤ 0.001) and disparities between the regions of Paraná. CONCLUSION: Spatial analysis indicated that confirmed cases of covid-19 are related to the distribution of intensive care beds exclusive to the disease in Paraná, allowing us to find priority areas of care in the state regarding the dissemination and control of the disease.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the correlation between maternal characteristics and perinatal outcomes, with the number of prenatal consultations performed. METHOD: a cross-sectional study, carried out with 1,219 mothers and newborns stratified as intermediate risk according to the Programa Rede Mãe Paranaense, adaptation of the Rede Cegonha at the state level. Data were collected from the Birth Certificates. Spearman, Wilcoxon and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to analyze the correlation between the variables of interest. RESULTS: married women, with higher education, white and aged 30 years or older were the ones who most attended prenatal consultations. With regard to perinatal outcomes, children whose mothers had more frequent prenatal consultations had better Apgar and birth weight scores. High rates of cesarean delivery were identified before the onset of labor. CONCLUSION: maternal characteristics influence the process of adherence to prenatal care, impacting perinatal outcomes, indicating the relevance of these risk factors and the need to improve actions aimed at greater compliance with risk stratification and qualified and resolute care for pregnant women at intermediate risk.

Nocardioform placentitis is a pathologically unique form of placental disease first diagnosed in central Kentucky in the mid-80s. Since then, the occurrence of nocardioform placentitis in the region has varied over the years, from sporadic cases to outbreaks. The disease has been sporadically detected in other countries and has not been confirmed in South America. A 13-year-old multiparous Mangalarga delivered a healthy filly at 340d gestation. The mare passed the fetal membranes 33 minute after foaling. Gross examination of the fetal membranes identified two focal lesions on the chorionic surface consistent with focal mucoid placentitis. Histopathologic evaluation revealed hyperplasia and degeneration of the allantoic mesoderm, intense mononuclear inflammatory infiltrates with marked lymphocytes and plasma, and occasional macrophages and neutrophils in the microvilli. Necrotic debris and exudate were identified in the chorionic epithelium, with macrophages, plasma cells, and neutrophils confirming the diagnosis of focal mucoid placentitis. The exudate culture revealed white, firm, punctiform colonies of â¼1 mm diameter. Gram staining revealed bacilli with rounded ends and branching aspect typical of actinomycetes. PCR using primers for the 16S rRNA identified the genera of bacteria as Amycolatopsis. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis identified the isolate as Amycolatopsis lexingtonensis. In conclusion, we described the first confirmed case of nocardioform placentitis in South America. The present case was associated with the birth of a full-term healthy live foal; this result is consistent with Amycolatopsis spp and, in this case, was caused by A. lexingtonensis.

INTRODUCTION: Since 2020, the world has been going through a viral pandemic with a high morbidity and mortality rate along with the potential to evolve from an acute infection to post-acute and long-COVID, which is still in the process of elucidation. Diagnostic and prognostic research is essential to understand the complexity of factors and contexts involving the illness's process. This protocol introduces a study strategy to analyse predictors, sequelae, and repercussions of COVID-19 in adults and older adults with different disease severities in the State of Paraná, Brazil. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A mixed-methods sequential explanatory design. The quantitative data will be conducted by an ambispective cohort study, which will explore the manifestations of COVID-19 for 18 months, with nearly 3000 participants with confirmed diagnoses of COVID-19 (reverse transcription-PCR test) between March and December of 2020, retrieved from national disease reporting databases, over 18 years old, living in a Brazilian State (Paraná) and who survived the viral infection after being discharged from a health service. Data collection will be conducted through telephone interviews, at two different occasions: the first will be a recall 12 months after the acute phase as a retrospective follow-up, and the second will be another prospective interview, with data of the following 6 months. For the qualitative step, Grounded Theory will be used; participants will be selected from the cohort population. The first sample group will be composed of people who were discharged from the intensive care unit, and other sample groups will be composed according to theoretical saturation. The qualitative data will follow the temporal design and classification of the disease provided for in the cohort. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval was granted by the State University of Maringá, under opinion number: 4 165 272 and CAAE: 34787020.0.0000.0104 on 21 July 2020, and Hospital do Trabalhador (Worker's Hospital), which is accountable for the Health Department of the State of Paraná, under opinion number: 4 214 589 and CAAE: 34787020.0.3001.5225 on 15 August 2020. The participants will verbally consent to the research, their consent will be recorded, and the informed consent form will be sent by mail or email. Outcomes will be widely disseminated through peer-reviewed manuscripts, conference presentations, media and reports to related authorities.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze adherence, non-adherence and abandonment of the monitoring of children referred to the high-risk reference centers of Rede Mãe Paranaense. METHOD: a parallel and convergent mixed-methods study, in which both approaches have the same weight. The study loci were two high-risk outpatient services from the South of the country. In the quantitative part, 3,107 medical charts of high-risk children were analyzed and the spatial distribution was performed. In the qualitative part, interviews were conducted with 29 health professionals, in addition to 34 family members, and content analysis was performed. Two databases were produced, which were analyzed separately and eventually integrated. RESULTS: the rates regarding adherence to monitoring are decreasing, mainly in the municipalities that are far away from the high-risk outpatient services, and the non-adherence and abandonment rates are increasing. In the reports by the representatives and the manager, a failure was observed between the transportation offer and the active search flow of the absent patients, which contributes to the increase in the non-adherence and abandonment rates and to the consequent decrease in adherence. CONCLUSION: in high-risk children, adherence is decreasing and the non-adherence and abandonment rates increased.

Resumo Objetivo: analisar a adesão, não adesão e abandono do acompanhamento das crianças encaminhadas aos centros de referência de alto risco da Rede Mãe Paranaense. Método: estudo de método misto paralelo convergente, no qual ambas as abordagens possuem o mesmo peso. O cenário do estudo foram dois ambulatórios de alto risco do sul do país. Na parte quantitativa, analisou-se 3.107 prontuários de crianças de alto risco e realizou-se distribuição espacial. Na parte qualitativa, realizou-se entrevistas com 29 profissionais de saúde, além de 34 familiares e se procedeu com a análise de conteúdo. Houve a produção de dois bancos de dados analisados separadamente e com integração ao final. Resultados: as taxas de adesão ao acompanhamento estão diminuindo, principalmente nos municípios distantes dos ambulatórios de alto risco, e as taxas de não adesão e abandono estão em ascensão. Observou-se nos relatos dos representantes e do gestor, falha entre a oferta de transporte e o fluxo de busca ativa dos pacientes faltosos, o que contribui para o aumento das taxas de não adesão e abandono, e a consequente diminuição da adesão. Conclusão: a adesão das crianças de alto risco está em decréscimo ao mesmo tempo em que as taxas de não adesão e abandono aumentaram.
Resumen Objetivo: analizar la adherencia, no adherencia y el abandono del seguimiento de niños derivados a los centros de referencia de alto riesgo de la Rede Mãe Paranaense. Método: estudio del método convergente paralelo mixto, en el que ambos enfoques tienen el mismo peso. El escenario de estudio fueron dos consultorios externos de alto riesgo del sur del país. En la parte cuantitativa se analizaron 3.107 historias clínicas de niños de alto riesgo y se realizó una distribución espacial. En la parte cualitativa, se realizaron entrevistas a 29 profesionales de la salud y a 34 familiares, y se realizó el análisis de contenido. Se crearon dos bases de datos que se analizaron por separado y se integraron al final. Resultados: las tasas de adherencia al seguimiento están disminuyendo, fundamentalmente en los municipios alejados de los consultorios externos de alto riesgo, y las tasas de no adherencia y abandono van en aumento. Se observó en los relatos de los representantes y del gestor, un problema entre la oferta de transporte y el flujo de búsqueda activa de pacientes ausentes, lo que contribuye al aumento de las tasas de no adherencia y abandono, y, por ende, a la disminución de la adherencia. Conclusión: la adherencia de los niños de alto riesgo está disminuyendo y, a su vez, aumentan las tasas de no adherencia y abandono.
