An economic assessment of alternative antimicrobial use scenarios on pig farms.

This paper explores the theoretical economic outcome of management changes that result in different levels of antimicrobial use (AMU) in two types of UK pig farm. A static farm economic pig production model (FEPM) was used on a representative 'Top-third' most profitable farm and a representative 'Mid-range' profitable farm. Three AMU theoretical management scenarios were investigated; (a) management changes leading to a reduction of AMU by 35% (AMU35); (b) more extensive management changes leading to a reduction of AMU by 95% (AMU95); and (c) implementing depopulation of the herd (AMU Depop). A sensitivity analysis was conducted to determine the effect of increases or decreases in pig revenue and feed price on farm gross margin under these scenarios. Over a single year, the AMU35 scenario was estimated to have a small positive impact (+3%) on both farm types. The other two AMU reduction scenarios had higher AMU reduction on farms but required higher variable cost and hence they resulted in lower farm profitability. There was a substantial reduction (up to -50%) in farm gross margin under these two AMU reduction scenarios in the modeled short-term time-period. The impact of the alternative AMU scenarios was slightly higher on a farm representing the 'Top-third' farm type, reducing farm gross margin further by 7% compared to the 'Mid-range' farm. Nevertheless, both farm types stay profitable under all three AMU scenarios. The results showed that in the modeled short-term implementing management changes that result in a reduction of on-farm AMU by 35% had a good economic outcome. In practice, the other two scenarios would be considered as longer-term strategies. Although both require higher initial costs to implement, the improved biosecurity and hygiene will benefit from lower disease occurrence for a longer term. Farm gross margins were, however, found to be highly sensitive to changes on market prices especially increasing feed prices. An increase of more than 15% in feed price moved a profitable farm into a loss-making farm. It will be economically challenging for uptakes of these, or similar, AMU reduction scenarios on farms if the market prices become un-favorable to pig farmers.

[Differences between men and women in the prevalence of frailty and associated factors among older adults: evidence from ELSI-Brazil]. / Diferenças entre homens e mulheres na prevalência da fragilidade e fatores associados entre adultos mais velhos: evidências do ELSI-Brasil.

Based on a national representative sample of the population aged 50 years or older, this study aimed to estimate the prevalence of frailty among men and women, identify associated sociodemographic and health factors, and estimate the population attributable fraction. Data from the second wave (2019-2021) of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brazil) were used. Frailty was classified based on the number of positive items among unintentional weight loss, exhaustion, low level of physical activity, slow gait, and weakness. The main analyses were based on multinomial logistic regression stratified by sex. The prevalence of frailty was lower in men (8.6%; 95%CI: 6.9; 10.7) than in women (11.9%; 95%CI: 9.6; 14.8), with the most frequent item being the low level of physical activity in both. Age and schooling level were the sociodemographic factors associated with pre-frailty and fragility among men and women. The population attributable fraction was different for frailty between genders. In men, the highest population attributable fraction was due to not having a partner (23.5%; 95%CI: 7.7; 39.2) and low schooling level (18.2%; 95%CI: 6.6; 29,7). In women, higher population attributable fraction values were due to memory deficit (17.1%; 95%CI: 7.6; 26.6), vision deficit (13.4%; 95%CI: 5.1; 21.7), and diabetes mellitus (11.4%; 95%CI: 4.6; 18,1). Similar population attributable fraction levels were observed for heart disease (8.9%; 95%CI: 3.8; 14.1 in women and 8.8%; 95%CI: 2.0; 15.6 in men). Strategies aimed at physical activity have the potential to prevent frailty in both men and women, and the prevention of chronic conditions is more important in women.

Este trabalho, baseado em amostra nacional representativa da população com 50 anos ou mais, objetivou estimar a prevalência da fragilidade entre homens e mulheres, identificar fatores sociodemográficos e de saúde associados e estimar a fração atribuível populacional. Foram utilizados dados da segunda onda (2019-2021) do Estudo Longitudinal da Saúde dos Idosos Brasileiros (ELSI-Brasil). A fragilidade foi classificada pelo número de itens positivos entre perda de peso não intencional, exaustão, baixo nível de atividade física, lentidão da marcha e fraqueza. As análises principais foram baseadas na regressão logística multinomial estratificada por sexo. A prevalência da fragilidade foi menor nos homens (8,6%; IC95%: 6,9; 10,7) do que nas mulheres (11,9%; IC95%: 9,6; 14,8), sendo o item mais frequente o baixo nível de atividade física em ambos. A idade e a escolaridade foram os fatores sociodemográficos associados à pré-fragilidade e à fragilidade entre homens e mulheres. Houve diferença da fração atribuível populacional para fragilidade entre os sexos. Nos homens, a maior fração atribuível populacional foi para não ter companheiro (23,5%; IC95%: 7,7; 39,2) e escolaridade baixa (18,2%; IC95%: 6,6; 29,7). Nas mulheres, maiores frações atribuíveis populacionais foram para déficit de memória (17,1%; IC95%: 7,6; 26,6), déficit da visão (13,4%; IC95%: 5,1; 21,7) e diabetes mellitus (11,4%; IC95%: 4,6; 18,1). Observou-se fração atribuível populacional semelhante para doença cardíaca (8,9%; IC95%: 3,8; 14,1, em mulheres; e 8,8%; IC95%: 2,0; 15,6, em homens). Estratégias voltadas para a prática de atividade física têm o potencial de prevenir a fragilidade em ambos os sexos, enquanto a prevenção de condições crônicas é mais importante nas mulheres.

Este estudio tuvo por objetivo estimar, utilizando una muestra nacional representativa de la población de 50 años o más, la prevalencia de la fragilidad entre hombres y mujeres, identificar los factores sociodemográficos y de salud asociados, y calcular la fracción atribuible a la población. Se utilizaron datos de la 2ª ola (2019-2021) del Estudio Longitudinal de Salud de los Ancianos Brasileños (ELSI-Brasil). La fragilidad se clasificó por el número de elementos positivos entre pérdida de peso no intencional, agotamiento, bajo nivel de actividad física, marcha lenta y debilidad. Los principales análisis se basaron en la regresión logística multinomial estratificada por sexo. La prevalencia de fragilidad fue menor en los hombres (8,6%; IC95%: 6,9; 10,7) que en las mujeres (11,9%; IC95%: 9,6; 14,8), y como ítem más frecuente el bajo nivel de actividad física en ambos. La edad y el nivel educativo fueron los factores sociodemográficos asociados a la pre-fragilidad y la fragilidad entre hombres y mujeres. Hubo una diferencia en fracción atribuible a la población para la fragilidad entre los sexos. Entre los hombres, la fracción atribuible a la población más elevada fue no tener pareja (23,5%; IC95%: 7,7; 39,2) y bajo nivel educativo (18,2%; IC95%: 6,6; 29,7). Entre las mujeres, las fracción atribuible a la población más elevadas fueron déficit de memoria (17,1%; IC95%: 7,6; 26,6), déficit de visión (13,4%; IC95%: 5,1; 21,7) y diabetes mellitus (11,4%; IC95%: 4,6; 18,1). Se observaron fracción atribuible a la población similares para enfermedades cardíacas (8,9%; IC95%: 3,8; 14,1 en mujeres, y 8,8%; IC95%: 2,0; 15,6 en hombres). Las estrategias dirigidas a la actividad física tienen el potencial de prevenir la fragilidad en ambos sexos, mientras que la prevención de enfermedades crónicas es más necesaria en las mujeres.

Coping strategies of food insecure households with children and adolescents in Uruguay, a high-income Latin American country: A qualitative study through the lens of Bourdieu's theories of capitals and practice.

Food insecurity has been associated with negative short, medium, and long-term health consequences, which are more detrimental for children and adolescents. These effects may depend on the coping strategies developed to deal with food shortages. The present research aimed at exploring coping strategies in food insecure households with children and adolescents in Uruguay, incorporating sociological theoretical insights from Bourdieu. A qualitative approach based on individual semi-structured interviews was used. A total of 40 interviews were conducted with adults who had parental responsibilities of children and adolescents and who received different types of food assistance, between July and December 2022, in four cities. Results showed that adults tend to develop a wide range of coping strategies aimed at: reducing food expenditure, increasing the availability of money for purchasing food, increasing food availability and/or rationing the food available in the household. Some of the strategies were implemented regardless of the severity of food insecurity, whereas others were characteristic of the moderate and severe levels of the construct. Evidence to support the mediation effect of coping strategies on health outcomes was found. Discourses suggested that lower accumulation of economic and cultural capital may be aligned with the adoption of less socially accepted mechanisms to access to food. Expressions of a specific habitus aimed at securing food were identified among participants with more deprivations. Taken together, the findings suggest that coping strategies may not be a universal or invariant sequence according to the severity of food insecurity and stress the importance of considering households' resources and local context for the development of strategies to improve access to food.

Chemical Characterization and Biological Properties Assessment of Euphorbia resinifera and Euphorbia officinarum Moroccan Propolis.

Although the plants of the genus Euphorbia are largely exploited by therapists in Morocco, the composition and antibacterial activities of propolis from these plants are still unknown. To address this gap, this study aimed to characterize the pollen type, the volatile compounds, and the phenolic and mineral profiles of three Euphorbia propolis samples collected in Morocco and evaluate their antimicrobial activities. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the propolis samples was determined by the microdilution method, and the anti-adherence activity was evaluated by the crystal violet assay. The examination of anti-quorum-sensing proprieties was performed using the biosensor Chromobacterium violaceum CV026. Pollen analysis revealed that Euphorbia resinifera pollen dominated in the P1 sample (58%), while E. officinarum pollen dominated in the P2 and P3 samples (44%). The volatile compounds were primarily composed of monoterpene hydrocarbons, constituting 35% in P1 and 31% in P2, with α-pinene being the major component in both cases, at 16% in P1 and 15% in P2. Calcium (Ca) was the predominant mineral element in both E. resinifera (P1) and E. officinarum (P2 and P3) propolis samples. Higher levels of phenols, flavonoids and dihydroflavonoids were detected in the E. officinarum P2 sample. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value ranged from 50 to 450 µL/mL against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Euphorbia propolis displayed the ability to inhibit quorum sensing in the biosensor C. violaceum CV026 and disrupted bacterial biofilm formation, including that of resistant bacterial pathogens. In summary, the current study evidences the potential use of E. officinarum propolis (P2 and P3) to combat important features of resistant pathogenic bacteria, such as quorum sensing and biofilm formation.

Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs for forcibly displaced adolescent girls and young women (10-24 years old) in humanitarian settings: a mixed-methods systematic review.

BACKGROUND: Globally, there are 42 million women and girls estimated to be forcibly displaced. Adolescent girls and young women in humanitarian settings have their sexual and reproductive health (SRH) neglected. This systematic review aimed to describe SRH obstacles that adolescent girls and young women (10-24 years old) face in humanitarian settings in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. METHODS: We conducted a mixed-methods systematic review in six databases, focusing on migrant women ages 10 - 24and their SRH outcomes. The mixed-methods appraisal tool was used to evaluate the quality of the studies. This review follows PRISMA and the Systematic Review Guidelines from the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination recommendations. RESULTS: Among the 1290 studies screened by abstracts, 32 met the eligibility criteria: 15 were qualitative, 10 were quantitative and seven were mixed-methods studies. Most studies were performed in the last four years, in African countries. They discussed the increased frequency of adolescent pregnancies (16-23%), lack of contraceptive use and access (8-32%), poor menstrual hygiene management (lack of water, shortage of menstrual hygiene supplies), ignorance and stigma about sexually transmitted infections and HIV, a higher number of child, early and forced marriage or partnership and sexual and gender-based violence, challenging to obtain SRH information/knowledge/access, and unmet SRH needs. CONCLUSION: Migration is a current issue. Although there is a growing number of studies on adolescent girls and young women's SRH in humanitarian settings, this population remains overlooked, and face several challenges in SRH. There is a need for targeting interventions on SRH.

This systematic review describes the available evidence on the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) challenges faced by adolescent girls and young women in humanitarian settings. Thirty-two studies were analyzed, demonstrating poor SRH outcomes: higher incidence of adolescent pregnancy, lack of access to contraceptives and low rates of its use, precarious menstrual hygiene management (MHM), ignorance and stigma about sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV, higher rates of child, early and forced marriage or partnership (CEFMP) and sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). Identifying these challenges can help humanitarian actors address the SRH needs of these populations.

The impact of maternal morbidity on cesarean section rates: exploring a Latin American network of sentinel facilities using the Robson's Ten Group Classification System.

BACKGROUND: Latin America has the highest Cesarean Section Rates (CSR) in the world. Robson's Ten Group Classification System (RTGCS) was developed to enable understanding the CSR in different groups of women, classified according to obstetric characteristics into one of ten groups. The size of each CS group may provide helpful data on quality of care in a determined region or setting. Data can potentially be used to compare the impact of conditions such as maternal morbidity on CSR. The objective of this study is to understand the impact of Severe Maternal Morbidity (SMM) on CSR in ten different groups of RTGCS. METHODS: Secondary analysis of childbirth information from 2018 to 2021, including 8 health facilities from 5 Latin American and Caribbean countries (Bolivia, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic), using a surveillance database (SIP-Perinatal Information System, in Spanish) implemented in different settings across Latin America. Women were classified into one of RTGCS. The frequency of each group and its respective CSR were described. Furthermore, the sample was divided into two groups, according to maternal outcomes: women without SMM and those who experienced SMM, considering Potentially Life-threatening Conditions, Maternal Near Miss and Maternal Death as the continuum of morbidity. RESULTS: Available data were obtained from 92,688 deliveries using the Robson Classification. Overall CSR was around 38%. Group 5 was responsible for almost one-third of cesarean sections. SMM occurred in 6.7% of cases. Among these cases, the overall CSR was almost 70% in this group. Group 10 had a major role (preterm deliveries). Group 5 (previous Cesarean section) had a very high CSR within the group, regardless of the occurrence of maternal morbidity (over 80%). CONCLUSION: Cesarean section rate was higher in women experiencing SMM than in those without SMM in Latin America. SMM was associated with higher Cesarean section rates, especially in groups 1 and 3. Nevertheless, group 5 was the major contributor to the overall CSR.

Community Empowerment Assessment and Community Nursing Diagnosis for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation in the Northern Region of the Portuguese Atlantic Coast: A Mixed-Methods Study Using MAIEC Framework.

The Community Intervention and Empowerment Assessment Model (MAIEC) offers a framework for community empowerment in several fields such as Climate Change (CC), the largest health emergency crisis globally, through diagnosis and interventions in Community Health Nursing. This study aims to assess the level of community empowerment in climate change mitigation and adaptation, and to identify nursing diagnosis through the MAIEC clinical decision matrix, within a local intermunicipal association in the northern region of the Portuguese Atlantic Coast. A convergent mixed-methods design was used, applying a focus group technique to a purposive sampling of ten key stakeholders of this community. A Portuguese version of the Empowerment Assessment Rating Scale and a questionnaire were both applied to the same participants, and qualitative and quantitative data generated were analysed using a content analysis technique and an Excel database sheet created using Microsoft Office 365. The analysis of the Portuguese northern community exposed: a low level of community empowerment for mitigation and adaptation to climate change; a nursing diagnosis of community management impairments in several dimensions, such as community process, community participation and community leadership. However, the study confirmed that MAIEC contributed to future community-based solutions, responding to the challenges of climate change, and enabling the planning of interventions to address MAIEC diagnoses in the form of CC-specific training and recommendations for new cooperation approaches from all stakeholders. This study was not registered.

Unplanned pregnancy in Brazil: national study in eight university hospitals.

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of unplanned pregnancy in eight public university hospitals, distributed in the five regions that make up Brazil. METHODS: A secondary analysis of a national multicenter cross-sectional study, carried out in eight public university hospitals between June 1 and August 31, 2020, in Brazil. Convenience sample including women who gave birth within sixty consecutive days and met the following criteria: over 18 years old; gestational age over 36 weeks at delivery; with a single and live newborn, without malformations. RESULTS: Sample composed of 1,120 postpartum women, of whom 756 (67.5%) declared that the pregnancy had not been planned. The median prevalence of unplanned pregnancy was 59.7%. The prevalence of unplanned pregnancy across hospitals differed significantly: Campinas (54.8%), Porto Alegre (58.2%), Florianópolis (59%), Teresina (61.2%), Brasília (64.3%), São Paulo (64.6%), Campo Grande (73.9%) and Manaus (95.3%) (p < 0.001). Factors significantly associated with unplanned pregnancy were maternal age, black color, lower family income, greater number of children, greater number of people living in household, and not having a partner. CONCLUSION: In the studied sample, about two thirds of the pregnancies were declared as unplanned. The prevalence of unplanned pregnancies was related to social and demographic factors and varied significantly across the university hospitals evaluated.

Organização da Atenção Primária paulista no enfrentamento da COVID-19: análise segundo porte populacional / São Paulo State Primary Health Care in coping with COVID-19: A population size analysis

O artigo tem como objetivo compreender como os municípios paulistas organizaram o enfrentamento da pandemia de COVID-19, destacando o papel da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) como elemento analisador do modelo de atenção. Estudo quantitativo descritivo a partir da realização de inquérito com uma amostra probabilística de 253 municípios do estado de São Paulo no qual foram entrevistados gestores municipais por meio de questionário. A descrição das frequências absolutas (n) e relativas (%) foi feita após ponderação segundo os três estratos de portes populacionais. Os resultados indicam que o elemento de porte populacional constitui importante componente analítico. A organização durante a pandemia priorizou, na maioria dos municípios, reajuste de fluxo e cuidados clínicos. As ações continuadas de pré-natal e puericultura também eram de caráter biomédico, com consultas. Em relação ao fomento de respostas de cuidado ampliado e territorial, os municípios de menor porte, com centralidade na APS, tiveram um desempenho superior. Já os municípios de grande porte fragmentaram o cuidado e a vacinação. As ações intersetoriais, de cuidado comunitário, e de utilização da perspectiva territorial, mostraram-se ainda retraídas e persistem dificuldades da APS.

Estratégias dos serviços de Atenção Primária durante a pandemia da COVID-19 no Brasil: uma revisão de escopo / Brazilian Primary Health Care strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic: A scoping review

A Atenção Primária à Saúde é a porta de entrada dos usuários ao sistema de saúde brasileiro e foi, especialmente, impactada pelas demandas com a COVID-19. Essa revisão identificou e mapeou sistematicamente evidências sobre as estratégias novas ou adaptadas desenvolvidas na Atenção Primária à Saúde durante a pandemia de COVID-19 no Brasil. Foi realizada uma revisão de escopo, conforme metodologia proposta pelo JBI. Os resultados apresentados em uma síntese narrativa, foram analisados e discutidos à luz da Teoria do Processo de Trabalho em Saúde que agrupou as publicações em dois grandes domínios de estratégias, gerenciais e assistenciais, sendo elas novas, adaptadas ou mantidas. A partir de 49 estudos, mapeou-se 226 intervenções (130 gerenciais; 96 assistenciais). Em ambos os domínios, as novas estratégias apareceram em maior número e as mantidas, em menor. A diversidade de intervenções explicitou distintos modelos de atenção, que ora se aproximaram de um enfoque biologicista, ora da integralidade e da longitudinalidade baseada no cuidado centrado na pessoa, na família e na comunidade. Evidenciou-se, assim, que perduram os mesmos desafios anteriores ao período pandêmico.

Using the WHO-INTEGRATE evidence-to-decision framework to develop recommendations for induction of labour.

BACKGROUND: In 2019, WHO prioritized updating recommendations relating to three labour induction topics: labour induction at or beyond term, mechanical methods for labour induction, and outpatient labour induction. As part of this process, we aimed to review the evidence addressing factors beyond clinical effectiveness (values, human rights and sociocultural acceptability, health equity, and economic and feasibility considerations) to inform WHO Guideline Development Group decision-making using the WHO-INTEGRATE evidence-to-decision framework, and to reflect on how methods for identifying, synthesizing and integrating this evidence could be improved. METHODS: We adapted the framework to consider the key criteria and sub-criteria relevant to our intervention. We searched for qualitative and other evidence across a variety of sources and mapped the eligible evidence to country income setting and perspective. Eligibility assessment and quality appraisal of qualitative evidence syntheses was undertaken using a two-step process informed by the ENTREQ statement. We adopted an iterative approach to interpret the evidence and provided both summary and detailed findings to the decision-makers. We also undertook a review to reflect on opportunities to improve the process of applying the framework and identifying the evidence. RESULTS: Using the WHO-INTEGRATE framework allowed us to explore health rights and equity in a systematic and transparent way. We identified a lack of qualitative and other evidence from low- and middle-income settings and in populations that are most impacted by structural inequities or traditionally excluded from research. Our process review highlighted opportunities for future improvement, including adopting more systematic evidence mapping methods and working with social science researchers to strengthen theoretical understanding, methods and interpretation of the evidence. CONCLUSIONS: Using the WHO-INTEGRATE evidence-to-decision framework to inform decision-making in a global guideline for induction of labour, we identified both challenges and opportunities relating to the lack of evidence in populations and settings of need and interest; the theoretical approach informing the development and application of WHO-INTEGRATE; and interpretation of the evidence. We hope these insights will be useful for primary researchers as well as the evidence synthesis and health decision-making communities, and ultimately contribute to a reduction in health inequities.

Comparação entre as versões rápida e conteúdo-balanceada do Inventário de Avaliação Pediátrica de Incapacidade - Testagem Computadorizada Adaptativa (PEDI-CAT) em crianças com paralisia cerebral / Comparación entre las versiones rápida y de contenido equilibrado del Pediatric Disability Assessment Inventory-Computerized Adaptive Test (PEDI-CAT) en niños con parálisis cerebral / Comparison between speedy and content-balanced versions of the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory - Computer Adaptive Test (PEDI-CAT) in children with cerebral palsy

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar as versões rápida e conteúdo-balanceada do Inventário de Avaliação Pediátrica de Incapacidade - Testagem Computadorizada Adaptativa (PEDI-CAT) em seus quatro domínios. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo observacional transversal com crianças com paralisia cerebral (PC). As duas versões do PEDI-CAT foram aplicadas em cada criança com um intervalo de sete dias, no formato remoto, por meio de entrevistas com os responsáveis. Foi utilizada a correlação de Pearson para verificar a associação entre os escores contínuos das duas versões do PEDI-CAT. Participaram do estudo 11 crianças com PC, entre 2 e 12 anos de idade. Foi verificada forte associação significativa entre valores médios do escore contínuo da versão rápida e conteúdo-balanceada em todos os domínios (p<0,0001). Duas crianças (18,2%) foram classificadas de forma diferente em relação ao escore normativo no domínio social-cognitivo. As versões do PEDI-CAT mostraram resultados concordantes em relação ao escore contínuo quando aplicadas em crianças com PC. No entanto, é necessário ter cautela na interpretação do escore normativo dependendo da versão utilizada no domínio social-cognitivo.

RESUMEN El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar las versiones rápida (speedy-cat) y de contenido equilibrado (content-balanced) del Pediatric Disability Assessment Inventory-Computerized Adaptive Test (PEDI-CAT) en sus cuatro dominios. Para eso, se realizó un estudio observacional transversal con niños con parálisis cerebral (PC). Las dos versiones del PEDI-CAT se aplicaron a cada niño por medio de entrevistas con los cuidadores, con un intervalo de siete días y en formato remoto. Se utilizó la correlación de Pearson para verificar la asociación entre las puntuaciones continuas de las dos versiones del PEDI-CAT. Once niños con PC, con edades comprendidas entre 2 y 12 años, participaron en el estudio. Hubo una fuerte asociación significativa entre los valores medios de la puntuación continua de la versión rápida y el contenido equilibrado en todos los dominios (p<0,0001). Dos niños (18,2%) fueron clasificados de manera diferente con relación al puntaje normativo en el dominio sociocognitivo. Las versiones del PEDI-CAT mostraron resultados concordantes en cuanto a la puntuación continua cuando se aplica a niños con PC. Sin embargo, se necesita precaución al interpretar el puntaje normativo basado en la versión utilizada en el dominio sociocognitivo.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to compare the speedy and content-balanced versions of the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory - Computer Adaptive Test (PEDI-CAT) in its four domains. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with children with cerebral palsy (CP). The two versions of PEDI-CAT were administered to each child with a 7-days interval, remotely, in interview format with caregivers. Pearson's correlation was used to evaluate the association among scaled scores in the two versions of PEDI-CAT. In total, 11 children with CP, aged 2 to 12 years, participated in the study. A strong significant association between mean values of the scaled score of the speedy and content-balanced versions in all domains (p<0.0001) was observed. Two children (18.2%) were classified differently regarding normative standard score in the Social/Cognitive domain. Both versions of PEDI-CAT showed concordant results in relation to the scaled score when applied to children with CP. However, one must cautiously interpret the normative standard score depending on the version used in the Social/Cognitive domain.

Assessment of sexual and reproductive access and use of menstrual products among Venezuelan migrant adult women at the Brazilian-Venezuelan border.

Objective: To describe the sociodemographic characteristics, access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care, including contraceptives and to assess menstrual poverty of migrant Venezuelan adult women of childbearing age at the northwestern border between Venezuela and Brazil. Methods: Cross-sectional study coordinated by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Campinas, Campinas, SP, Brazil, conducted in Boa Vista, Roraima between January 18 and 24, 2021. We invited women aged 18 to 49 years to participate. A semi-structured self-response questionnaire was applied. The survey covered issues relating to SRH services, knowledge, access, and use of SRH services for women. We also applied a questionnaire regarding access to and quality of hygiene kits and toilets, and an open-ended question on "what does menstruation mean to you"? We excluded illiterate women and those with amenorrhea, those who had undergone hysterectomy or tubal ligation, and those with partners who had undergone vasectomy. Findings: The age (mean ± SD) of the 177 respondent women was 28 ± 6.8 years, 32.2% reported that they had more than three children, 38.4% referred at least one unplanned pregnancy, and 52.5% of the women indicated an intention to become pregnant in the near future. Furthermore, 40 (29.8%) women sought a healthcare service because they wanted a contraceptive method; among them, 16 did not receive the contraceptive that they chose, and 15 women wanted to use a contraceptive implant. Regarding menstrual poverty, 64 women stated that the menstrual hygiene products provided by humanitarian organizations were not enough for their needs, and 44 women claimed being unable to wash their hands anytime they wanted to. Conclusions: The vulnerabilities of this cohort of Venezuelan migrant women in Brazil who lived mainly out of the official shelters further increase when they struggle with no knowledge of how to access SRH services, lack of provision of LARC methods, risk of unplanned pregnancy, and inappropriate access to menstrual hygiene products and sanitary services. There are several challenges to be overcome to ensure SRH care for migrant women in Brazil.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of the prevalence of coronavirus: One health approach for a global strategy.

Coronaviruses have been responsible for major epidemic crises in 2003 with SARS-CoV-1, in 2012 with MERS-CoV and in 2019 with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), causing serious atypical pneumonia in humans. We intend, with this systematic analysis and meta-analysis, to clarify the prevalence of the various strains of coronavirus in different animal species. For this purpose, we carried out an electronic survey using Pubmed's Veterinary Science search tool to conduct a systematic assessment of published studies reporting the prevalence of different strains of coronavirus in different animal species between 2015 and 2020. We conducted different analysis to assess sensitivity, publication bias, and heterogeneity, using random effect. The final meta-analysis included 42 studies for systematic review and 29 in the meta-analysis. For the geographic regions with a prevalence greater than or equal to 0.20 (Forest plot overall; prevalence = 0.20, p < 0.01, Q = 10,476.22 and I2 = 100%), the most commonly detected viruses were: enteric coronavirus (ECoV), pigeon-dominant coronavirus, (PdCoV), Avian coronavirus M41, Avian coronavirus C46, Avian coronavirus A99, Avian coronavirus JMK, MERS-CoV, Bovine coronavirus, Ro-BatCoV GCCDC1, Alphacoronavirus, Betacoronavirus, Deltacoronavirus, Gamacoronavirus and human coronaviruses (HCoVs). The wide presence of different strains of coronavirus in different animal species on all continents demonstrates the great biodiversity and ubiquity of these viruses. The most recent epidemiological crises caused by coronavirus demonstrates our unpreparedness to anticipate and mitigate emerging risks, as well as the need to implement new epidemiological surveillance programs for viruses. Combined with the need to create advanced training courses in One Health, this is paramount in order to ensure greater effectiveness in fighting the next pandemics.

Gastos com antibacterianos de uso sistêmico e seus determinantes: uma análise de 2010 a 2015 no Estado de Minas Gerais / Expenditure on antibacterials for systemic use and its drivers: analysis between 2010 and 2015 in Minas Gerais State, Brazil

Resumo Introdução Antibacterianos sistêmicos são medicamentos amplamente utilizados e os gastos públicos com este grupo têm aumentado consideravelmente. Objetivo Avaliar os gastos com antibacterianos sistêmicos e seus determinantes, entre 2010 e 2015, no Estado de Minas Gerais. Método Estudo de Utilização de Medicamentos (EUM), longitudinal, com dados do banco de administração pública do Sistema Integrado de Administração de Materiais e Serviços de Minas Gerais (SIAD-MG). Foram estimados gastos e volumes totais por ano, bem como por subgrupo terapêutico. Os antibacterianos responsáveis pelo maior gasto foram identificados pelo método Drug Cost 90%. Análise de decomposição foi utilizada para avaliar os determinantes dos gastos, preço, volume ou escolha terapêutica. Resultados No período analisado houve uma redução de 22,2% nas despesas e de 25,5% no volume adquirido. As penicilinas corresponderam a 42% do total adquirido, sendo a amoxicilina, isolada ou em associação, o fármaco mais consumido. A redução das despesas, entre 2010 e 2015, foi determinada principalmente pela redução do volume (queda de 25%) e preços (queda de 5%). Conclusão A redução de volume no período pode ter impacto negativo na cobertura populacional. O investimento em agentes de amplo espectro, em fármacos de segunda linha de tratamento ou com pouca evidência clínica requerem a criação de protocolos clínicos universais que orientem a prescrição mais adequada.

Abstract Background Antibacterials for systemic use are widely used and public spending on these drugs has increased considerably. Objective To evaluate the expenditures with Antibacterials for systemic use and its drivers in the state of Minas Gerais, between 2010 and 2015. Method Longitudinal Drug Utilization Study, based on data from the public administration database SIAD-MG. Total expenditures and volumes were estimated per year and per therapeutic subgroup. Drug Cost 90% method was used to identify antibacterials responsible for the highest expenditure. Decomposition analysis was used to evaluate the determinants of expenditures (price, volume, or drug mix). Results There was a reduction in expenditure (22.2%) and in volume (25.5%) from 2010 to 2015. Penicillins corresponded to 42% of the total volume. Amoxicillin plain or in combination was responsible for consuming more than one-third of the budget. The reduction in expenditure between 2010 and 2015 was mainly determined by the reduction in volume (25%) and prices (5%). Conclusion Volume reduction in the period may harm population coverage. The investment in broad-spectrum agents, drugs considered the second line of treatment, or with little clinical evidence raises the need to create universal clinical protocols that guide the appropriate prescription.
