Objetivo: A incidência das doenças alérgicas cresceu nas últimas décadas. Na tentativa de conter o aumento da alergia alimentar (AA) ao longo dos anos, estratégias de prevenção vêm sendo implementadas. Para promover um melhor entendimento dos dilemas que permeiam a introdução alimentar no primeiro ano de vida, esse artigo trata de uma revisão bibliográfica narrativa sobre a introdução dos alimentos complementares no primeiro ano de vida e possíveis associações com a prevenção primária da alergia alimentar. Fonte dos dados: Publicações relevantes foram pesquisadas nas bases de dados Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, PubMed, Guidelines International Network, National Guidelines Clearinghouse e revisadas recomendações do guia e do consenso nacional de alergia alimentar. Resultados: Estudos observacionais diversos e ensaios clínicos randomizados estão disponíveis, bem como recomendações publicadas por organizações científicas; no entanto, de qualidade variável. Foram consideradas as recomendações de diretrizes de prática clínica classificadas como de alta qualidade e publicações recentes ainda não categorizadas de forma sistemática em sua qualidade, mas internacionalmente reconhecidas como relevantes para a atenção primária. Conclusão: Até o momento, não há evidências consistentes de que a introdução precoce, antes dos 6 meses, dos alimentos alergênicos, contribua para a prevenção de alergia a alimentos na população geral.

Conclusion: To date, there is no consistent evidence that the early introduction, before 6 months, of allergenic foods contributes to the prevention of food allergy in the general population.

Dropout rates in controlled trials with exergames for blood pressure management: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol / Taxas de abandono em estudos controlados com exergames para gerenciamento da pressão arterial: protocolo de uma revisão sistemática e metanálise

Exergame, a type of enjoyable active video game that combines physical exertion and game is a technological innovation that has generated important information for the health field. In the car-diovascular area, exergames have been used to manage blood pressure in adults with some positive results. Despite this, in primary studies, it is possible to identify that participants dropout of the exergames interventions, but no synthesis of evidence has been produced so far to explore that. The aims of this review are i) to estimate the pooled rate of dropouts in controlled trials assessing the effects of exergame-based interventions on resting blood pressure in adults and older people; ii) to compare dropout rates between exergame and controls groups, and iii) to investigate the intervention characteristics associate with dropout rates. Inclusion criteria: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi-RCTs (≥ 4 weeks) assessing the effects of exergame-based interventions on resting blood pressure in adults aged ≥ 18 years old. Without restriction to language, date of the publication, and intervention setting. Literature searches will be conducted using PubMed, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Scientific Electronic Library Online. The quality of the RCTs will be assessed using Cochrane's risk of bias tool. A descriptive narrative synthesis and a random-effects model meta-analysis of the pooled event rate (prevalence) will be provided (p < 0.05). This protocol is registered with PROSPERO: CRD42020199547.

Exergame, um tipo de videogame ativo divertido que combina esforço físico e jogo virtual, é uma inovação tecnológica que tem gerado informações importantes para a área da saúde. Na área cardiovascular, os exer-games têm sido usados para gerenciar a pressão arterial em adultos, com alguns resultados positivos. Apesar disso, em estudos primários, é possível identificar que os participantes abandonaram (dropout) as interven-ções dos exergames, mas nenhuma síntese de evidências foi produzida até o momento para explorar isso. Os objetivos desta revisão são i) estimar a taxa combinada de dropouts em estudos controlados que avaliam os efeitos de intervenções baseadas em exergame na pressão arterial de repouso em adultos e idosos; ii) comparar as taxas de dropouts entre os grupos exergame e controles e iii) investigar as características de intervenção associadas às taxas de dropouts. Serão incluídos ensaios clínicos randomizados (ECRs) ou quase-ECRs (≥ 4 semanas) avaliando efeitos de intervenções com exergames sobre a pressão arterial em repouso em adultos (≥ 18 anos). Não haverá restrição de idioma, data de publicação e ambiente de intervenção. As buscas na lite-ratura serão conduzidas usando PubMed, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials e Scientific Electronic Library Online. O risco de viés dos ECRs será avaliado por meio da ferramenta da Cochrane. Uma síntese narrativa descritiva e uma metanálise de modelo de efeitos aleatórios da taxa de eventos combinados (pre-valência) serão fornecidas (p < 0,05).

The fight against sexually transmitted infections cannot stop in the COVID-19 era: a brazilian experience in online training for sexually transmitted infections guidelines / A luta contra as infecções sexualmente transmissíveis não pode parar na era COVID-19: experiência brasileira em treinamento on-line para diretrizes em infecções sexualmente transmissíveis

Introduction: The Brazilian Ministry of Health had planned face-to-face workshops for professional training about the Clinical Protocols and Therapeutic Guidelines for Comprehensive Care for People with Sexually Transmitted Infections for the year 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the workshops were cancelled, and a new strategy was adopted: virtual meetings, called Webinars ­ Clinical Protocols and Therapeutic Guidelines for Comprehensive Care for People with Sexually Transmitted Infections 2020. Objective: To report the experience at the Ministry of Health in online training about the clinical protocol and therapeutic guidelines for comprehensive care for people sexually transmitted infections for health professionals in 2020. Methods: The webinars were held in partnership with the Brazilian Society of Sexually Transmitted Diseases and the Pan American Health Organization. Each chapter of the Clinical Protocols and Therapeutic Guidelines for Comprehensive Care for People with Sexually Transmitted Infections ­ 2020 was converted into a webinar, with the participation of at least three experts, two speakers, and a moderator. Results: In total, 16 webinars were presented, covering topics such as sexually transmitted infections surveillance, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, public policies, and sexual violence. The initiative had more than 77,000 hits, with an average of 4,900 hits per webinar and the topic "syphilis" being the most accessed. The event reached all 27 federative units of Brazil, as well as 27 other countries.

Validation of the single-platform ISHAGE protocol for enumeration of CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells in umbilical cord blood in a Brazilian center

Abstract Background This study aims to validate the single-platform method for enumeration of CD34+ cells, by comparing the performance of two different commercial kits, as well as to evaluate the efficiency of the AccuriTM C6 cytometer in providing direct counts of absolute cell numbers. Method We evaluated 20 samples from umbilical cord blood (UCB), comparing the two different methodologies for enumeration of CD34+ cells: single and dual-platform. For the assessment of the single-platform, Procount and SCE kits were used, both of which use fluorescent beads as a counting reference to obtain absolute CD34+ cells numbers. Moreover, after the acquisition of samples in flow cytometer AccuriTM C6, following the protocol established for each kit, the number of CD34+ cells was recalculated, considering the cell count provided by the AccuriTM C6. Main Results In our analysis, the results showed a strong correlation between the number of CD34+ cells/μL (r2 = 0.77) when comparing the SCE kit and the current dual-platform method. On the other hand, the comparison between Procount kit and dual-platform results showed a moderate correlation for the number of CD34+/μL cells (r2 = 0.64). Conclusion Our results showed that the AccuriTM C6 flow cytometer can be used safely, applying both the dual and single platform analysis strategy. Considering the ISHAGE protocol-based single-platform approach, as the most appropriate methodology for CD34+ cells enumeration, our results demonstrated that the SCE kit has great potential for national standardization of UCB samples analysis methodology.

Comparative Analysis of a Modified Secondary Healing Protocol for Fingertip Amputations and Non-microsurgical Reconstruction Techniques / Análise comparativa de um protocolo de cicatrização secundária modificado para amputações das pontas dos dedos e técnicas de reconstrução não microcirúrgicas

Abstract Objective To describe and compare the results obtained with a secondary healing protocol for fingertip amputations and their relationship to injury severity according to the Allen classification. Methods Medical records of 127 fingertip injuries were revised, and a retrospective, comparative, analytical study the amputations treated conservatively was performed. Injury characteristics, healing time, and complications were described and analyzed. Results Between April 2017 and May 2019, 127 fingertip injuries were treated conservatively. The average age of the sample was of 28.33 years. The average healing time was of 4.31 weeks. The complications during the follow-up were observed in 18.9% (n= 24) of the cases, but none require revision treatment. A statistically significant relationship between the development of complications and treatment revision according to the Allen classification was not found (p ≥ 0.05). Conclusion The proposed secondary healing protocol has shown to be safe and effective in types 1 to 3 fingertip amputations in the Allen classification, and it should be included as a therapeutic option even in injuries of greater extension than those that have traditionally been limited to.

Resumo Objetivo Descrever e comparar os resultados obtidos com um protocolo de cicatrização secundária para amputações das pontas dos dedos e sua relação com a gravidade da lesão de acordo com a classificação de Allen. Métodos Foram revisados os prontuários clínicos de 127 lesões nas pontas dos dedos, e realizou-se um estudo retrospectivo, comparativo e analítico das amputações tratadas de forma conservadora. Foram descritas e analisadas as características da lesão, o tempo de cicatrização, e as complicações. Resultados Entre abril de 2017 e maio de 2019, foram tratadas de forma conservadora 127 lesões nas pontas dos dedos. A idade média da amostra era de 28,33 anos. O tempo médio de cicatrização foi de 4,31 semanas. As complicações apresentadas durante o acompanhamento afetaram 18,9% (n = 24) dos casos, porém nenhum exigiu tratamento de revisão. Não foi encontrada relação estatisticamente significativa entre o desenvolvimento das complicações e a revisão do tratamento de acordo com a classificação de Allen (p ≥ 0,05). Conclusão O protocolo de cicatrização secundária proposto mostrou-se seguro e eficaz nas amputações das pontas dos dedos conforme os tipos de 1 a 3 da classificação de Allen, e deve ser incluída como opção terapêutica mesmo em lesões de maior extensão do que aquelas tradicionalmente limitadas.
