RESUMEN
CONTEXT.: Breast pathology reports include many important details to guide clinical management. Reports with missing critical data elements are commonly seen in non-subspecialized pathology practices. The use of synoptic templates has been shown to improve pathology reports. Although synoptic templates are readily available by professional societies, many are not tailored to low-resource settings. OBJECTIVE.: To perform an assessment of current breast pathology reporting at 3 referral hospitals in sub-Saharan Africa and design a locally adapted breast cancer synoptic template. DESIGN.: We conducted semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders involved in breast cancer care including pathologists, radiologists, oncologists, and surgeons from Nigeria, Tanzania, and Mozambique. Moreover, each stakeholder reviewed a preliminary synoptic template that was compiled by using templates from the College of American Pathologists, Royal College of Pathologists, and International Collaboration on Cancer Reporting, and was asked to score each data element as essential, optional, or exclude. A locally adapted synoptic template was then designed from the needs assessment. Using the adapted templates, a retrospective review of breast cancer pathology reports from 2020 to 2022 was conducted to determine the completeness of reports at the 3 institutions. RESULTS.: A total of 17 physicians were interviewed. Review of pathology reports revealed that none of the reports across all 3 sites contained all data elements considered essential by local physicians. CONCLUSIONS.: There is an urgent need to improve breast pathology reporting in sub-Saharan Africa. Development and implementation of synoptic templates in collaboration with key stakeholders has the potential to improve pathology reporting practices in low-resource settings.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) Network programme undertakes post-mortem minimally invasive tissue sampling (MITS), together with collection of ante-mortem clinical information, to investigate causes of childhood deaths across multiple countries. We aimed to evaluate the overall contribution of pneumonia in the causal pathway to death and the causative pathogens of fatal pneumonia in children aged 1-59 months enrolled in the CHAMPS Network. METHODS: In this observational study we analysed deaths occurring between Dec 16, 2016, and Dec 31, 2022, in the CHAMPS Network across six countries in sub-Saharan Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Mali, Mozambique, Sierra Leone, and South Africa) and one in South Asia (Bangladesh). A standardised approach of MITS was undertaken on decedents within 24-72 h of death. Diagnostic tests included blood culture, multi-organism targeted nucleic acid amplifications tests (NAATs) of blood and lung tissue, and histopathology examination of various organ tissue samples. An interdisciplinary expert panel at each site reviewed case data to attribute the cause of death and pathogenesis thereof on the basis of WHO-recommended reporting standards. FINDINGS: Pneumonia was attributed in the causal pathway of death in 455 (40·6%) of 1120 decedents, with a median age at death of 9 (IQR 4-19) months. Causative pathogens were identified in 377 (82·9%) of 455 pneumonia deaths, and multiple pathogens were implicated in 218 (57·8%) of 377 deaths. 306 (67·3%) of 455 deaths occurred in the community or within 72 h of hospital admission (presumed to be community-acquired pneumonia), with the leading bacterial pathogens being Streptococcus pneumoniae (108 [35·3%]), Klebsiella pneumoniae (78 [25·5%]), and non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (37 [12·1%]). 149 (32·7%) deaths occurred 72 h or more after hospital admission (presumed to be hospital-acquired pneumonia), with the most common pathogens being K pneumoniae (64 [43·0%]), Acinetobacter baumannii (19 [12·8%]), S pneumoniae (15 [10·1%]), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (15 [10·1%]). Overall, viruses were implicated in 145 (31·9%) of 455 pneumonia-related deaths, including 54 (11·9%) of 455 attributed to cytomegalovirus and 29 (6·4%) of 455 attributed to respiratory syncytial virus. INTERPRETATION: Pneumonia contributed to 40·6% of all childhood deaths in this analysis. The use of post-mortem MITS enabled biological ascertainment of the cause of death in the majority (82·9%) of childhood deaths attributed to pneumonia, with more than one pathogen being commonly implicated in the same case. The prominent role of K pneumoniae, non-typable H influenzae, and S pneumoniae highlight the need to review empirical management guidelines for management of very severe pneumonia in low-income and middle-income settings, and the need for research into new or improved vaccines against these pathogens.

INTRODUCTION: Determining aetiology of severe illness can be difficult, especially in settings with limited diagnostic resources, yet critical for providing life-saving care. Our objective was to describe the accuracy of antemortem clinical diagnoses in young children in high-mortality settings, compared with results of specific postmortem diagnoses obtained from Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS). METHODS: We analysed data collected during 2016-2022 from seven sites in Africa and South Asia. We compared antemortem clinical diagnoses from clinical records to a reference standard of postmortem diagnoses determined by expert panels at each site who reviewed the results of histopathological and microbiological testing of tissue, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid. We calculated test characteristics and 95% CIs of antemortem clinical diagnostic accuracy for the 10 most common causes of death. We classified diagnostic discrepancies as major and minor, per Goldman criteria later modified by Battle. RESULTS: CHAMPS enrolled 1454 deceased young children aged 1-59 months during the study period; 881 had available clinical records and were analysed. The median age at death was 11 months (IQR 4-21 months) and 47.3% (n=417) were female. We identified a clinicopathological discrepancy in 39.5% (n=348) of deaths; 82.3% of diagnostic errors were major. The sensitivity of clinician antemortem diagnosis ranged from 26% (95% CI 14.6% to 40.3%) for non-infectious respiratory diseases (eg, aspiration pneumonia, interstitial lung disease, etc) to 82.2% (95% CI 72.7% to 89.5%) for diarrhoeal diseases. Antemortem clinical diagnostic specificity ranged from 75.2% (95% CI 72.1% to 78.2%) for diarrhoeal diseases to 99.0% (95% CI 98.1% to 99.6%) for HIV. CONCLUSIONS: Antemortem clinical diagnostic errors were common for young children who died in areas with high childhood mortality rates. To further reduce childhood mortality in resource-limited settings, there is an urgent need to improve antemortem diagnostic capability through advances in the availability of diagnostic testing and clinical skills.

Abstract Objectives: To evaluate Microablative Fractional Radiofrequency (MAFRF) as a possible option in treating vaginal atrophy. Methods: This was a randomized, controlled clinical trial with postmenopausal women diagnosed with vaginal atrophy. The treatment consisted of three sessions of MAFRF, compared to vaginal estrogen administration and an untreated control group. Assessments occurred at baseline and 90 days. The primary endpoints were sexual function, evaluated by the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), and vaginal health, assessed by the Vaginal Health Index (VHI). Secondary outcomes included vaginal microbiota composition (Nugent score) and epithelial cell maturation (Maturation Value ‒ MV). Results: One hundred and twenty women (40 in each group) were included. Concerning the FSFI, both groups, MAFRF (median 4.8 [3.6‒6.0]) and vaginal estrogen (mean 4.7 ± 1.1), experienced improved sexual desire when compared to the control group (median 3.6 [2.4‒4.8]). Regarding the total score of VHI, the authors observed an improvement in the mean of the MAFRF (23.7 ± 2.0) and vaginal estrogen groups (23.5 ± 1.9) when compared to the control (14.8 ± 2.9). The Nugent score was reduced in the MAFRF and estrogen groups (p < 0.01) compared to the control group. Lastly, the MV was modified after treatment with MAFRF (p < 0.01) and vaginal estrogen (p < 0.001). No differences existed between the MAFRF and vaginal estrogen groups in the studied variables. No adverse effects were reported following the MAFRF protocol. Conclusions: Radiofrequency was comparable in efficacy to estrogen administration for treating vulvovaginal atrophy. It deserves consideration as a viable option in managing this condition.
RESUMEN
Abstract Introduction: Gaucher disease (GD) is one of the common lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) with an estimated frequency of one in 40,000 newborns globally. GD is an autosomal recessive condition, which results from mutations in the GBA1 gene, causing partial or complete deficiency of β-glucocerebrosidase enzyme activity, which leads to the widespread accumulation of the substrate glucosylceramide. Aims: This report presents different challenges of clinical management and communication between medical specialties to reach diagnose of any rare disease in Mozambique, a low-income country, which health system has limited infrastructure, trained personnel, and budget for diagnosis and to provide treatment for rare genetic disorders such as GD. Case Presentation: The patient was a 15-year old black female patient of Mozambican nationality born from non-consanguineous parents. Three of the four patient's siblings were healthy; one sister had died of a disease with a similar clinical features. Our patient presented with abdominal distention and hepatosplenomegaly. Blood tests revealed pancytopenia and a high level of ferritin. Liver biopsy and histologic examination revealed infiltration of the splenic parenchyma and portal area of the liver as well as enlarged histiocytic cells with granular cytoplasm. Magnetic resonance imaging showed liver enlargement, changes in the femoral heads without osteonecrosis, a pathological fracture of the third thoracic vertebrae (T3), with absence of brain and spinal cord neurological abnormalities. The biochemical investigation disclosed low levels of β-glucocerebrosidase (0.223 nmol/h/ml; normal: above 0.98) and increased levels of lyso-Gb1 (0.43 µg/ml; normal: up to 0.003). Genotyping of the GBA1 gene indicated the presence of the pathogenic variant p.Arg87Trp (R48W) in homozygosis. Discussion and Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this report describes the first case of GD type 1 confirmed via biochemical and molecular genetic testing in Mozambique. As awareness of the GD and rare genetic diseases among Mozambican health professionals is very limited, and resources for diagnosis are scarce in the national health system, it is possible that other cases remain undiagnosed in this low-income country.
RESUMEN
OBJETIVO: analisar o conhecimento sobre o cuidado prestado à pessoa que possui transtorno mental na perspectiva da segurança do paciente. MÉTODO: revisão integrativa da literatura, considerando-se a seguinte questão norteadora: Como a Política de Segurança do Paciente pode ser incorporada na produção do cuidado às pessoas ou sujeitos em sofrimento psíquico?. RESULTADOS: foram selecionados 12 artigos em língua inglesa nas bases de dados Scopus e MEDLINE. Predominaram os tipos de estudo revisão da literatura (42%), estudo crítico-reflexivo (17%) e análise de conteúdo (17%). CONCLUSÃO: a segurança do paciente no contexto da saúde mental é mais complexa quando comparada a de outros pacientes. Observa-se maior probabilidade de eventos adversos, violências, barreiras de acesso aos serviços e tratamentos, além de uma assistência de baixa qualidade, tardia e não planejada, tendo, como principal justificativa, o processo estigmatizador. A educação permanente e o cuidado centrado na pessoa são as principais ferramentas de solução desses casos.
OBJECTIVE: to analyze the knowledge about the care given to the person who has mental disorder from the perspective of the patient's safety. METHOD: Integrative literature review, considering the following guiding question: How can the Patient Safety Policy be incorporated into the production of care for people or subjects in psychic suffering? RESULTS: 12 English language articles were selected from the Scopus and MEDLINE databases. The types of study were: literature review (42%), critical-reflective study (17%) and content analysis (17%). CONCLUSION: patient safety in the context of mental health is more complex when compared to other patients. There is a higher probability of adverse events, violence, barriers to access to services and treatments, as well as low quality, late and unplanned care, having as main justification the stigmatization process. Permanent education and person-centered care are the main tools for solving these cases.

Gigantomastia is a rare disease defined by an extreme and rapid enlargement of the breast, generally bilateral. The majority of cases are reported in pregnant women. Ninety-eight cases of gestational gigantomastia have been identified in electronic databases, and those with fatal outcomes comprised only 2 cases (2%). Despite its benign nature, it can lead to severe complications and even death. Its etiology has not been fully elucidated, but it has been speculated that a hormonal component may play a role in the pathogenesis. Currently, treatment options are limited, and surgery is gaining importance, but it is often not feasible in low-resource settings. Herein, we describe a case of a 30-year-old HIV-positive female with no relevant past medical history, who died due to the complications of gestational gigantomastia at the Maputo Central Hospital, in Mozambique.

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of microablative fractional radiofrequency (MAFRF) in the non-hormonal treatment of genitourinary syndrome of menopause. METHODS: We examined the cases of 55 postmenopausal women before and after treatment with regard to their vaginal health index (VHI), vaginal microbiota, vaginal pH, and cell maturation. Three applications of MAFRF were performed in the vagina/vaginal introitus. During the treatment, six vaginal smears were obtained and stained with the Papanicolaou stain for determining the degree of cell maturation and with Gram stain for classification of vaginal flora, as per the criteria of Spiegel and Amsel. For vaginal pH determination, pH indicator strips were applied against the vaginal wall. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS for Windows (version 17.0). Data were reported as mean±standard deviation. The differences were analyzed using the statistical method of generalized estimation equations with autoregressive correlation structure "1" and robust standard errors. RESULTS: The mean age was 59.8±4.2 years, and the mean time of menopause was 15.4±4.5 years. After treatment, there was an increase in the percentage of Lactobacillus spp. (p<0.001). Consequently, there was a progressive decrease in vaginal pH during the treatment (p<0.001). Regarding cell maturation, there was a decrease in the percentage of parabasal cells (p=0.001) and an increase in the rate of superficial cells (p<0.001). Additionally, there was an improvement in the VHI index. The mean VHI values before and after treatment were 13.2±5.6 and 22.5±3.7, respectively (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: MAFRF treatment is well tolerated and leads to improvement in the vaginal microenvironment.

O presente trabalho tem por escopo analisar as decorrências éticas, sociais e jurídicas de um específico ramo da genética: a ecogenética. Para tanto, foi adotada pesquisa bibliográfica, com base em fontes doutrinárias interdisciplinares, para se revisar a literatura sobre o tema, que ainda é escassa. O objeto de estudo da ecogenética é a inter-relação entre o meio ambiente e as características genéticas individuais que alteram as condições gerais de saúde. O atual desenvolvimento da biociência provocou uma alteração no foco, do tratamento e cura para a prevenção das doenças, assim como despertou questionamentos éticos sobre a influência das características genéticas e da atuação do meio ambiente sobre elas. Desloca-se o agir humano para a perspectiva da responsabilidade conferida tanto ao indivíduo, isoladamente, quanto à coletividade, em relação às gerações presentes e futuras. A importância do estudo no campo da ecogenética espraia-se para além de interesses individuais e familiares e traduz-se também na importância da adoção de medidas governamentais de prevenção.(AU)
This paper analyzes the ethical, social and legal derivations of a specific branch of genetics ecogenetics. For this, a bibliographic methodology was adopted, based on interdisciplinary doctrinal sources, to review the literature on the subject, which is still scarce. The study object of ecogenetics is the relationship between the environment and the individual genetic characteristics that alter the general health conditions. The current bioscience developments moved the focus from treatment and cure to disease prevention as well as raised ethical questions about the influence of knowledge of genetic traits and the environmental factors that act on them. Moves the human act to the perspective of responsibility, both for the individual, as the community in relation to present and future generations. The importance of the ecogenetics research spreads beyond the individual and family interests, converting into important preconditions for governmental adoption of preventive measures.(AU)

Objetivo: analisar a inserção da educação permanente em saúde no âmbito escolar, por meio da Educação Física, sob a ótica de Paulo Freire e suas teorias, pautadas na construção do conhecimento e no processo de aprendizagem. Método: reflexão teórica, de abordagem qualitativa, com dados produzidos a partir da política nacional de educação permanente em saúde, de três obras de Paulo Freire e da base de dados LILACs, apresentadas de forma crítico-reflexiva, em duas categorias. Resultados: nas duas dimensões analisadas, o conhecimento constitui-se como algo não transmissível ou pertencente a alguém, mas construído de dúvidas e dificuldades advindas da prática, impactando significativamente a rede escolar. Conclusão: as duas abordagens caminham juntas na organização da problematização, essencial ao desenvolvimento da autonomia, atendendo às necessidades advindas da prática e nela refletidas, transformando e inovando a realidade na escola, pela atividade física. Limita-se pela carência de estudos que possibilitem, ao educador físico, empoderar-se de seu verdadeiro papel nessa construção.

ABSTRACT Objective: To reflect about continuing education from the perspective of Augustine of Hippo and his theories based on the construction of knowledge and the learning process. Method: This is a theoretical reflection study whose aim is to propose dimensions of analysis, emphasizing the history and challenges of continuing education. Such dimensions analyze the production of knowledge in Augustinian pedagogy, its historical aspects and its close relationship with lifelong education in health professions. Results: The results show the difficulty of continuing education to reach adequate importance in health services, and that of academia in appropriating the thoughts of renowned philosophers such as Augustine. This is a result of ignorance about the convergence of these principles and their relevance. Final considerations: Continuing education and Augustinian pedagogy walk hand in hand in terms of care, meeting the needs that originate from practice and that are reflected in it, challenging isolated knowledge and putting different areas of knowledge to work together.

O presente trabalho tem como objeto de estudo a educação permanente como estratégia de reorganização do processo de trabalho, no serviço de emergência de um pronto socorro. Seu objetivo geral foi utilizar a educação permanente como reorganizadora do processo de trabalho no serviço de emergência de um pronto socorro tendo como objetivos específicos: Identificar as dificuldades dos funcionários do pronto socorro no seu processo de trabalho quanto ao encaminhamento de usuários ao serviço de emergência odontológica; Descrever a compreensão dos funcionários acerca do papel do odontólogo no serviço de emergência; Analisar estratégias ou formas de colaboração para atingir a integralidade da assistência e; Elaborar produtos que colaborem na educação permanente dos funcionários envolvidos no atendimento ao paciente, de acordo com a legislação específica, em prol da integridade da assistência. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa convergente assistencial, tipo de pesquisaação na qual o pesquisador está envolvido em ações de assistência enquanto pesquisa. O cenário da pesquisa foi o setor de emergência de um pronto socorro localizado em São Gonçalo, cidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. A pesquisa contou com três etapas e os instrumentos de coleta de dados utilizados foram: Na primeira etapa, observação participante, na segunda etapa, questionário semi-estruturado e na terceira etapa, grupos educativos; Na primeira etapa, foi construído um fluxo de encaminhamento ao setor de emergência odontológica. Na segunda etapa, construíram-se quatro categorias, após análise de conteúdo de Bardin. São elas: 1) O modelo biomédico ainda refletido no pensar e no agir, evidenciado, diante da análise das respostas, que parte dos funcionários não compreenderem trabalho em equipe multidisciplinar e ainda fazerem alusão ao modelo biomédico; 2) A odontologia do dente por dente: Código de Hamurabi e Tiradentes, revelando que a maioria dos trabalhadores atribui significado bucal ao atendimento odontológico; 3) O que estou fazendo aqui? Construindo a identidade do odontólogo. Demonstrou-se que muitos dos participantes não compreendem o papel do dentista no processo de trabalho em emergência, ao atribuírem significado fora do contexto odontológico a ele, ou mesmo não responderem admitindo não sabê-lo; 4) Construindo pontes para a integralidade, apontando que poucos participantes compreendem os conceitos da EP e sua capacidade de transformar as situações problemas no cotidiano de sua vida profissional. Na terceira etapa, os participantes foram convidados aos grupos educativos, local de diálogo, reflexão e elaboração de hipóteses de soluções, seguindo a proposta da metodologia da problematização. Nesses grupos, discutiu-se a legislação acerca do serviço de emergência, refletiu-se sobre as dificuldades em cumpri-la no serviço e construiu-se o rol de procedimentos eleitos como de urgência /emergência no pronto socorro. Concluiu-se que pouco conhecimento se tinha acerca da legislação vigente sobre o assunto e que o desconhecimento do sentido pleno de educação permanente limitava às tomadas de decisões. Porém, as soluções encontradas pelo grupo, mesmo que este não tenha se constituído uniformemente ao longo dos encontros, foram um somatório de experiências reunidas, o que proporcionou o que Agostinho chama de sabedoria à pesquisa convergente assistencial, de despertar do pensamento crítico e à política nacional de educação permanente em saúde de empoderamento

In the first stage was built a forwarded flow to the dental emergency section. On the second stage, after analysis of contente according to Bardin, it was built four following classes: 1) The biomedical model still reflected on the thinking and action, evidenced on the analysis of the responses, which the employees do not understand working in a multidisciplinary team and also mentioned the biomedical model; 2) Tooth for a tooth: The Code of Hammurabi and Tiradentes, revealing that most workers assign meaning to oral dental care; 3) What am I doing here?
