Implementation of WHO guidelines for cervical cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment: knowledge and perceptions of health providers from Argentina.

BACKGROUND: The 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines on cervical cancer screening and treatment provide countries with evidence-based recommendations to accelerate disease elimination. However, evidence shows that health providers' adherence to screening guidelines is low. We conducted a study in Argentina to analyze health providers' knowledge and perceptions regarding the 2021 WHO Guidelines. METHODS: A qualitative study was conducted based on individual, semi-structured interviews with health providers specializing in gynecology (n = 15). The themes explored were selected and analyzed using domains and constructs of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. RESULTS: Although health providers perceive WHO as a reliable institution, they do not know the 2021 guidelines, its supporting evidence, and its elaboration process. Their clinical practice is mainly guided by local recommendations developed by national professional medical associations (PMAs). For interviewees, WHO guidelines should be disseminated through health authorities and national PMAs, mainly through in-service training. Health providers had a positive assessment regarding WHO Recommendation 1 (screen, triage, and treatment for women aged 30 + with HPV-testing every 5 to 10 years) and perceived a favorable climate for its implementation. HPV-testing followed by triage was considered a low-complexity practice, enabling a better detection of HPV, a better selection of the patients who will need diagnosis and treatment, and a more efficient use of health system resources. However, they suggested adapting this recommendation by removing screening interval beyond 5 years. WHO Recommendation 2 (screen-and-treat approach with HPV-testing for women aged 30 + every 5 to 10 years) was predominantly rejected by interviewees, was considered an algorithm that did not respond to women's needs, and was not adequate for the Argentinean context. Regarding the HPV-test modality, clinician-collected tests were the preferred mode. Health providers considered that HPV self-collection should be used primarily among socially vulnerable women to increase screening coverage. CONCLUSION: WHO guidelines should be widely disseminated among health providers, especially in settings that could benefit from a screen-and-treat approach. Identifying areas of partnership and collaboration with PMAs in implementing WHO guidelines is essential.

Predictor Variables in the Spread of Chagas Disease in Rural Areas.

Over a hundred years ago after the discovery of Chagas disease (CD) in Brazil, the World Health Organization estimates a number of 6 to 7 million people infected by Trypanosoma cruzi worldwide. Therefore, the goal of this work was to identify variables related to the spread of infection by T. cruzi in humans living in rural areas, seeking predictor variables. A systematic review of the literature has been conducted, with a search in the Scopus platform, using the search string "Chagas disease" and "rural", resulting in 85 valid and analyzed scientific studies (1977 and 2022). Twenty-seven predictor variables have been acquired, and 19 of them have been grouped, such as: socioeconomic and educational, housing, environmental, sanitary, and cultural; and 8 variables related to T. cruzi seropositive individuals. The predictor variables yielded significant results (p-value < 0.05) in 59.5% of the cases (195/328), with a median of 66.7%. In other words, studies relating to 50% of the 27 variables showed significance equal to or greater than 66.7% of the time. The independent variables with the highest proportion of significant data (p-value < 0.05) were Education (87.6%), Intradomicile building (70%), Domestic animals (69.6%), and Triatomines (69.2%) in the households. Some variables reached 100%; however, few articles were found, indicating the need for further research, especially for Sanitation and Culture. It has been concluded that, in the several contexts found, the social vulnerability and lack of information led the individual to living in environments where inhabitability is inadequate, to perform limited work activity and develop habits and behaviors which impair them in an environmental insalubrity situation, favorable to the access of vectors and pathogens of anthropozoonoses such as CD.

Dynamic measurements of geographical accessibility considering traffic congestion using open data: a cross-sectional assessment for haemodialysis services in Cali, Colombia.

Background: Many cities with traffic congestion lack accessibility assessments accounting for traffic congestion and equity considerations but have disaggregated georeferenced municipal-level open data on health services, populations, and travel times big data. We convened a multistakeholder intersectoral collaborative group that developed a digital, web-based platform integrating open and big data to derive dynamic spatial-temporal accessibility measurements (DSTAM) for haemodialysis services. We worked with stakeholders and data scientists and considered people's places of residence, service locations, and travel time to the service with the shortest travel time. Additionally, we predicted the impacts of strategically introducing haemodialysis services where they optimise accessibility. Methods: Cross-sectional analyses of DSTAM, accounting for traffic congestion, were conducted using a web-based platform. This platform integrated traffic analysis zones, public census and health services datasets, and Google Distance Matrix API travel-time data. Predictive and prescriptive analytics identified optimal locations for new haemodialysis services and estimated improvements. Primary outcomes included the percentage of residents within a 20-min car drive of a haemodialysis service during peak and free-flow traffic congestion. Secondary outcomes focused on optimal locations to maximise accessibility with new services and potential improvements. Findings were disaggregated by sociodemographic characteristics, providing an equity perspective. The study in Cali, Colombia, used geographic and disaggregated sociodemographic data from the adjusted 2018 Colombian census. Predicted travel times were obtained for two weeks in 2020. Findings: There were substantial traffic variations. Congestion reduced accessibility, especially among marginalised groups. For 6-12 July, free-flow and peak-traffic accessibility rates were 95.2% and 45.0%, respectively. For 23-29 November, free-flow and peak traffic accessibility rates were 89.1% and 69.7%. The locations where new services would optimise accessibility had slight variation and would notably enhance accessibility and health equity. Interpretation: Establishing haemodialysis services in targeted areas has significant potential benefits. By increasing accessibility, it would enhance urban health and equity. Funding: No external or institutional funding was received.

Implementation processes of social network interventions for physical activity and sedentary behavior among children and adolescents: a scoping review.

BACKGROUND: The characteristics of the implementation process of interventions are essential for bridging the gap between research and practice. This scoping review aims to identify the implementation process of social network interventions (SNI) to address physical activity and sedentary behaviors in children and adolescents. METHODS: The scoping review was conducted adhering to the established guidelines. The search was carried out in the ERIC, EBSCO, EMBASE, SCOPUS, and Lilacs databases in April 2023. Social network intervention studies in children and adolescents were included, addressing physical activity or sedentary behaviors. Replicability (TIDieR), applicability (PRECIS-2), and generalizability (RE-AIM) were the explored components of the implementation process. Each component was quantitatively and separately analyzed. Then, a qualitative integration was carried out using a narrative method. RESULTS: Most SNI were theoretically framed on the self-determination theory, used social influence as a social mechanism, and used the individual typology of network intervention. Overall, SNI had strong replicability, tended to be pragmatic, and three RE-AIM domains (reach, adoption (staff), and implementation) showed an acceptable level of the generalizability of findings. CONCLUSIONS: The analyzed SNI for physical activity and sedentary behaviors in adolescents tended to be reported with high replicability and were conducted pragmatically, i.e., with very similar conditions to real settings. The RE-AIM domains of reach, adoption (staff), and implementation support the generalizability of SNI. Some domains of the principles of implementation strategies of SNI had acceptable external validity (actor, action targets, temporality, dose, and theoretical justification).

Blocking the CTLA-4 and PD-1 pathways during pulmonary paracoccidioidomycosis improves immunity, reduces disease severity, and increases the survival of infected mice.

Immune checkpoint pathways, i.e., coinhibitory pathways expressed as feedback following immune activation, are crucial for controlling an excessive immune response. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) are the central classical checkpoint inhibitory (CPI) molecules used for the control of neoplasms and some infectious diseases, including some fungal infections. As the immunosuppression of severe paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a chronic granulomatous fungal disease, was shown to be associated with the expression of coinhibitory molecules, we hypothesized that the inhibition of CTLA-4 and PD-1 could have a beneficial effect on pulmonary PCM. To this end, C57BL/6 mice were infected with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis yeasts and treated with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) α-CTLA-4, α-PD-1, control IgG, or PBS. We verified that blockade of CTLA-4 and PD-1 reduced the fungal load in the lungs and fungal dissemination to the liver and spleen and decreased the size of pulmonary lesions, resulting in increased survival of mice. Compared with PBS-treated infected mice, significantly increased levels of many pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines were observed in the lungs of α-CTLA-4-treated mice, but a drastic reduction in the liver was observed following PD-1 blockade. In the lungs of α-CPI and IgG-treated mice, there were no changes in the frequency of inflammatory leukocytes, but a significant reduction in the total number of these cells was observed. Compared with PBS-treated controls, α-CPI- and IgG-treated mice exhibited reduced pulmonary infiltration of several myeloid cell subpopulations and decreased expression of costimulatory molecules. In addition, a decreased number of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells but sustained numbers of Th1, Th2, and Th17 T cells were detected. An expressive reduction in several Treg subpopulations and their maturation and suppressive molecules, in addition to reduced numbers of Treg, TCD4+, and TCD8+ cells expressing costimulatory and coinhibitory molecules of immunity, were also detected. The novel cellular and humoral profiles established in the lungs of α-CTLA-4 and α-PD-1-treated mice but not in control IgG-treated mice were more efficient at controlling fungal growth and dissemination without causing increased tissue pathology due to excessive inflammation. This is the first study demonstrating the efficacy of CPI blockade in the treatment of pulmonary PCM, and further studies combining the use of immunotherapy with antifungal drugs are encouraged.

Draft genome of the Klebsiella pneumoniae 24Kpn33 and complete sequence of its pCOL-1, a plasmid related to the blaKPC-2 acquisition in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

We report the draft genome of a clinical multi-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (24Kpn33) isolate, whose genome (5.7 Mbp) harbored 17 antibiotic resistance genes, including blaKPC-2. Notably, this gene was mobilized within the IncP-6 pCOL-1 plasmid, the first genetic platform related to the acquisition and dissemination of the blaKPC-2 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Disseminated Leishmaniasis, a Severe Form of Leishmania braziliensis Infection.

Disseminated leishmaniasis (DL) is an emergent severe disease manifesting with multiple lesions. To determine the relationship between immune response and clinical and therapeutic outcomes, we studied 101 DL and 101 cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) cases and determined cytokines and chemokines in supernatants of mononuclear cells stimulated with leishmania antigen. Patients were treated with meglumine antimoniate (20 mg/kg) for 20 days (CL) or 30 days (DL); 19 DL patients were instead treated with amphotericin B, miltefosine, or miltefosine and meglumine antimoniate. High levels of chemokine ligand 9 were associated with more severe DL. The cure rate for meglumine antimoniate was low for both DL (44%) and CL (60%), but healing time was longer in DL (p = 0.003). The lowest cure rate (22%) was found in DL patients with >100 lesions. However, meglumine antimoniate/miltefosine treatment cured all DL patients who received it; therefore, that combination should be considered as first choice therapy.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Describir y analizar, en varios niveles, los intercambios comunicativos sucedidos en un chat grupal de médicos intensivistas dentro de la aplicación de mensajería instantánea WhatsApp durante la primera etapa de la pandemia de la COVID-19, específicamente el día en que fue confirmado el primer caso en México. Se destaca una situación intensa donde se manifiestan los tres niveles analíticos del marco teórico. Materiales y métodos: Investigación cualitativa de la transcripción de los diálogos sostenidos en WhatsApp entre 239 médicos intensivistas al inicio de la pandemia, específicamente a lo largo del 27 de febrero del 2020. Se utilizó el análisis narrativo para interpretar el fragmento del chat. Se elaboró un esquema con tres dimensiones (análisis de la información compartida, estándares de acción social en la atención a pacientes COVID-19 y expresiones emocionales) para codificar y categorizar los diálogos. Resultados: Los intercambios comunicativos por WhatsApp permitieron dar sentido al conocimiento emergente sobre la COVID-19 expuesto en las tramas narrativas. También influyó en la orientación de acciones pertinentes en los contextos hospitalarios y ayudó a modular las emociones ante la pandemia. Además, fomentó lazos de solidaridad y empatía entre los médicos intensivistas para afrontar con resiliencia el sufrimiento personal y social. Conclusiones: Los diálogos del chat reflejaron las relaciones humanas y las profundas inquietudes de las personas en situaciones de crisis. El estudio permitió comprender las formas y los significados de los intercambios comunicativos con el uso de dispositivos tecnológicos en tiempos de crisis para orientar la implementación de acciones en situaciones emergentes como la pandemia de la COVID-19. El WhatsApp respondió a la necesidad de información, con datos científicos y verídicos, sobre la pandemia. Se apreció que los médicos intensivistas se beneficiaron de la mensajería instantánea al cooperar en situaciones y experiencias críticas en el marco de una crisis sanitaria en evolución.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe and analyze, at various levels, the communication exchanges that took place in a group chat of intensivists using the instant messaging application WhatsApp during the first stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically on the day the first case was confirmed in Mexico. An intense situation showing the three dimensions of the theoretical framework is stood out. Materials and methods: A qualitative research of WhatsApp messages shared between 239 intensivists at the beginning of the pandemic, specifically throughout February 27, 2020. A narrative analysis was used to interpret a fragment of a chat. A schema with three dimensions (analysis of shared information, standards of social action in COVID-19 patient care and emotional expressions) was developed to code and classify the messages. Results: The communication exchanges via WhatsApp made it possible to give meaning to the emerging knowledge about COVID-19 in the narrative plots. They also influenced the implementation of appropriate actions in hospital environments and helped modulate emotions in front of the pandemic. In addition, it fostered bonds of solidarity and empathy between intensivists to face personal and social suffering with resilience. Conclusions: The chat messages reflected human relationships and the deep concerns of people in crisis situations. The study provided insight into the forms and meanings of communication exchanges with the use of technological devices in times of crisis to guide the implementation of actions in emerging situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic. WhatsApp responded to the need for information, with scientific and truthful data, about the pandemic. It was noted that intensivists benefited from instant messaging by cooperating in critical situations and experiences within the context of an evolving health crisis.

Impact of human created environments in the pathogenic potential and antimicrobial resistance of staphylococci from wild neotropical primates in Brazil.

The non-human primate (NHP) Leontopithecus rosalia is an endangered species native of Brazil and lives in forest fragments with different levels of contact with humans (natural, private and urban). Other NHPs - Callithrix spp. - were introduced by humans and co-exist and interact with the native species in these forests. To evaluate if living in or close to human-modified environments could constitute a risk for L. rosalia, we compared the prevalence, genetic background, antibiotic susceptibility and virulence gene content of staphylococci collected from the native and the introduced species from different forest fragments. We found that presence in human-dominated environments increased the colonization rate of L. rosalia with Mammaliicoccus sciuri (former Staphylococcus sciuri) from 18 % to 85 % (p = 0.0001) and of Callithrix spp with Staphylococcus aureus from 6 % to 100 % (p = 0.0001). According to molecular typing data obtained differences probably resulted from dissemination of these bacterial species from the invader NHP species and from humans. Changes in microbiota were paralleled by an increase in the prevalence of Panton-Valentine Leukocidin gene and in resistance to beta-lactams, macrolides and/or lincosamides as exposure to human environment increased. In particular, erythromycin resistance in S. aureus from Callithrix spp. increased from 0 % to 50 % and resistance rate to at least one antibiotic in coagulase-negative staphylococci species from L. rosalia increased from 13 % to 56 % (p = 0.0003). Our results showed that contact of native animal species with human-created environments increased the content of antimicrobial resistant and pathogenic bacteria on their commensal microbiota, which ultimately can impact on their health. IMPORTANCE: Endangered animal species are vulnerable to environmental alterations and human activities have been repeatedly identified as factors driving drastic changes in the natural landscape. It is extremely important to monitor changes in the environment surrounding protected species, because this could lead to early detection of any potential threats. In this study, we found that the contact of L. rosalia - a protected non-human primate from Brazil - with human environments is related to changes in their commensal microbiota. These included an increase in the number of pathogenic and antibiotic resistant bacteria, which have a higher potential to cause infections that are more difficult to treat. We provided evidence for the harmful impact human contact has on L. rosalia. Also, our results suggest that monitoring of commensal microbiota of protected animal species might be a useful way of sensing the risks of protected species to human exposure.

Clinical factors associated with systemic sporotrichosis in Brazil.

BACKGROUND: Systemic sporotrichosis occurs when organs, other than subcutaneous tissues and lymph nodes, are infected. Interestingly, systemic sporotrichosis in apparently immunocompetent individuals is increasing in Brazil, but data on clinical manifestations and risk factors are scarce. Most of the existing data on such condition relate to people living with HIV. We aimed to study the risk factors associated with systemic sporotrichosis among HIV-negative and HIV-positive patients. METHODS: We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study with 80 patients from Brazil, diagnosed between 2014 and 2021. The association between disease classification, clinical presentation and risk factors were analysed by logistic regression. RESULTS: Of the 80 patients, 29 (36.3%) presented with systemic sporotrichosis. All HIV-positive patients developed the systemic form, with increased mortality (p = .002). Alcohol ingestion (p = .009) and diabetes (p = .010) were associated with systemic disease. Alcohol ingestion seemed to favour pulmonary infection (p = .013) and, diabetes favoured osteoarticular (p = .009) and ocular involvement (p = .033). The occurrence of fever (p = .001) and weight loss (p = .006) were significantly associated with systemic sporotrichosis, while meningeal involvement (p = .001) increased mortality risk. Nine (11.3%) patients died from sporotrichosis. The presence of fungal structures in the mycological examination of the patients' lesions were associated with the systemic form (p = .017) and death (p = .002). CONCLUSION: Our study points to the factors that drive systemic sporotrichosis other than HIV, such as alcohol ingestion and diabetes. Considering the high number of patients presenting severe sporotrichosis, the recognising these factors may contribute to timely diagnosis and proper treatment.

Mes de la Ciencia: estrategia para el conocimiento y la investigación

El Mes de la Ciencia surge como idea para socializar y divulgar las investigaciones y el nivel de actualización sobre los principales problemas de salud que afectan a la población matancera. Expone el nivel científico de las diferentes especialidades que ofrecen servicio en las instituciones de salud; permite la interdisciplinariedad entre ellas; motiva a los estudiantes del pregrado y resulta una fuente de gestión del conocimiento para el educando del posgrado; ofrece soluciones para los desafíos de la vida cotidiana y el manejo de las principales entidades que son atendidas en las instituciones, y permite el crecimiento profesional y el intercambio entre profesionales del país y del extranjero. Los autores se proponen mostrar los primeros resultados que ha tenido el Mes de la Ciencia a partir de su implementación. Estos están relacionados con el número considerable de conferencias magistrales y talleres impartidos, del incremento de participantes por mes y del nivel de satisfacción por eventos recogido por los principales actores. Aún más, se ha transformado de evento interhospitalario a uno con carácter provincial, con participación nacional e internacional y con alta aceptación por la comunidad científica, lo que le ha merecido el reconocimiento de los directivos provinciales y del ministro de Salud Pública.

Science month arises as an idea to socialize and disseminate research and the level of updating on the main health problems affecting the population of Matanzas. It exposes the scientific level of the different specialties that offer services in health institutions; it enables interdisciplinarity between them; motivates undergraduate students and is a source of knowledge management for postgraduate students; it offers solutions for the challenges of daily life and the management of the main entities that are served in the institutions, and allows the professional growth and interchange between professional in the country and abroad. The authors intend to show the first results the Science Month has had since its implementation. These are related to the considerable number of keynote conferences and workshops given, the increase in participants per month and the level of satisfaction per events collected by the main actors. Even more, it has been transformed from an inter-hospital event to one of a provincial character, with national and international participation, and with high acceptance by the scientific community, which has earned it the recognition of the provincial management staff and the minister of Public Health.

Sexual and reproductive health: analysis of the content published in two Brazilian scientific nursing events / Salud sexual y reproductiva: análisis de contenidos publicados en dos eventos científicos de enfermería brasileños / Saúde sexual e reprodutiva: análise de conteúdo publicado em dois eventos científicos brasileiros de enfermagem

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the content published in the Proceedings of the 71st Brazilian Nursing Congress and the 20th National Research Seminar in the field of sexual and reproductive health. Method: Qualitative, descriptive study, whose data sources were the annalsof two 2019 events that were related to Sexual and Reproductive Health. Content analysis and lexical typology were carried out with the aid of the IRAMUTEq® software. Results: In a universe of 3,433 abstracts, 603 were analyzed and showed a higher prevalence of qualitative studies and experience reports, focusing on the maternal-child area and on the pathologizing and medicalizing processes of women's health, with incipient use of software in the analysis. However, there were signs of health promotion and humanized care. Conclusion: The dissemination of studies in the field of sexual and Reproductive Health seems to be in a conflict between accommodation and resistance, at the same time that it maintains old imperatives of the hegemonic domain, seeking to overcome them with new methodologies and care based on integrality and equity.

A participação da mulher na difusão da psicanálise no Brasil no período de 1930 a 1950 / Female participation in psychoanalysis dissemination from 1930 to 1950 in Brazil / La participación de las mujeres en la difusión del psicoanálisis en Brasil de 1930 a 1950 / La participation des femmes dans la diffusion de la psychanalyse au Brésil de 1930 à 1950

Partindo da premissa de que, nos primeiros anos de difusão da psicanálise no Brasil, a participação feminina teve importante destaque tanto na introdução quanto na expansão das ideias freudianas no país, este estudo se propõe a delinear o papel de protagonismo assumido pelas mulheres junto ao movimento psicanalítico brasileiro. Para dar visibilidade a esse pioneirismo, o estudo foi organizado em três momentos. Inicialmente, serão apresentadas considerações gerais sobre o contexto da participação da mulher na sociedade brasileira durante a primeira metade do século XX e os primeiros movimentos de emancipação feminina. Na sequência, será abordado o modo como a psicanálise, entendida neste período histórico como movimento inovador e disruptivo, proporcionou espaço fecundo de interlocução para se pensar a expansão das conquistas das mulheres na esfera pública e social. Por fim, essas hipóteses serão articuladas por meio do esboço biográfico de duas destacadas pioneiras da psicanálise no Brasil: Virgínia Leone Bicudo e Marialzira Perestrello

Based on the assumption that women played a major role during the first years of psychoanalysis dissemination in Brazil both in introducing and expanding Freudian ideas in the country, this study outlines women's participation in the Brazilian psychoanalytic movement. To give visibility to this pioneering spirit, we divided the text in three moments. First, we contextualize women's participation in Brazilian society during the first half of the 20th century and the first emancipatory movements. We then discuss how psychoanalysis, understood as an innovative and disruptive movement, provided a fertile space of interlocution for exploring the expansion of women's participation in the public and social sphere. Finally, we articulate these hypotheses by means of the biographical outline of two outstanding pioneers of psychoanalysis in Brazil: Virgínia Bicudo and Marialzira Perestrello

Partiendo de la premisa de que, en los primeros años de difusión del psicoanálisis en Brasil, la participación femenina tuvo un importante papel tanto en la introducción como en la expansión de las ideas freudianas en el país, este estudio pretende esbozar el protagonismo de las mujeres en el movimiento psicoanalítico brasileño. Para dar visibilidad a este pionero, el estudio se organizó en tres momentos. Inicialmente, se presentarán consideraciones generales sobre el contexto de la participación de las mujeres en la sociedad brasileña durante la primera mitad del siglo XX y los primeros movimientos por la emancipación de la mujer. A continuación, se abordará el modo en que el psicoanálisis proporcionó un espacio fértil de interlocución para pensar la expansión de las conquistas femeninas en la esfera pública y social. Finalmente, estas hipótesis se articularán a través de la semblanza de dos destacadas pioneras del psicoanálisis en Brasil: Virgínia Leone Bicudo y Marialzira Perestrello

Fondé sur l'hypothèse que les femmes ont joué un rôle majeure dans les premières années de diffusion de la psychanalyse au Brésil dans l'introduction et l'expansion des idées freudiennes dans le pays, cette étude souligne leur participation prépondérant dans le mouvement psychanalytique brésilien. Pour donner de la visibilité à cet esprit pionnier, on a organisé l'étude en trois moments. Tout d'abord on contextualise la participation des femmes à la société brésilienne pendant la première moitié du XXe siècle et les premiers mouvements émancipatoires. Ensuite, on aborde la manière dont la psychanalyse, comprise comme un mouvement novateur et perturbateur, a fourni un espace d'interlocution fertile pour réfléchir à l'expansion des conquêtes des femmes dans la sphère publique et sociale. Enfin, ont articulera ces hypothèses par le biais de l'esquisse biographique de deux remarquables pionniers de la psychanalyse au Brésil: Virgínia Bicudo et Marialzira Perestrello

Impact of the "Journal Club" activity among medical students' knowledge of scientific methodology / Avaliação de impacto da atividade "journal club" no conhecimento de metodologia científica entre os estudantes de medicina

Introduction: The Journal Club is an environment for exchanging information within the medical context concerning updated literature and evidence-based medicine. Considering the importance of constantly updating the acquired knowledge and scenarios of social isolation imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Journal Club event was held virtually, aiming to expand the understanding of the scientific methodology among medical students by understanding the differences among each type of evidence pyramid study by reading and discussing scientific articles. Methodology: An analytical, prospective, and cross-sectional study was conducted in October 2021. The Journal Club event took place in nine classes where each type of evidence pyramid study was addressed. The sample included 20 medical students. A questionnaire was used at the beginning and end of the event to assess the participants' knowledge from the classes taught and was divided into two parts: participant identification data and 19 questions regarding the types of studies present on the pyramid of evidence. Results: It was found that after the pre- and post-event analysis of the questionnaire among the 19 questions, correct answers increased in 17, among which 3 obtained a statistically significant value: questions 1 (p = 0.031), 15 (p = 0.039), and 18 (p = 0.016). Discussion: An increase in the number of correct answers was noted between pre- and post-classes, which may indicate an improved understanding of the subject among students. Furthermore, the study demonstrated that the students had little involvement in scientific research (only 25% had ever been involved in a project). Conclu-sion: Based on the analysis of the participants' performance in the pre- and post-event questionnaires, it can be concluded that the medical students were able to expand their knowledge of scientific methodology (AU).

Introdução: O Journal Club é um ambiente para troca de informações dentro do contexto médico, diante de uma literatura atualizada e medicina baseada em evidências. Tendo em vista a importância da atualização constante de conhecimentos adquiridos e o cenário de isolamento social imposto pela pandemia da COVID-19, o evento Journal Club foi realizado virtualmente, com o objetivo de ampliar o entendimento sobre metodologia científica entre estudantes de medicina por meio da compreensão das diferenças de cada tipo de estudo da pirâmide de evidências a partir da leitura e discussão de artigos científicos. Metodologia: Estudo analítico, prospectivo e transversal realizado em outubro de 2021. O evento Journal Club ocorreu em nove aulas onde foram abordados cada tipo de estudo da pirâmide de evidência. A amostra foi composta por 20 estudantes de medicina. Um questionário foi aplicado no início e ao final do evento para avaliar o conhecimento dos participantes a partir das aulas ministradas, e foi dividido em duas partes, a primeira com dados de identificação do participante e a segunda com 19 questões sobre os tipos de estudos presentes na pirâmide de evidência. Resultados: Observou-se que, após a análise do questionário pré e pós-evento, dentre as 19 questões realizadas, houve um aumento de acertos em 17 entre as quais 3 obtiveram um valor estatístico significativo: questões 1 (p= 0,031), 15 (p=0,039) e 18 (p= 0,016). Discussão: Notou-se aumento dos acertos de questões entre o pré e pós-aulas, podendo indicar uma melhora no entendimento por parte dos acadêmicos acerca do assunto. Além disso, o estudo mostrou uma baixa atuação dos acadêmicos em pesquisas científicas (apenas 25% já se envolveram em algum projeto). Conclusão: A partir da análise do desempenho dos participantes nos questionários pré e pós-evento é possível afirmar que os estudantes de medicina conseguiram ampliar seu conhecimento sobre metodologia científica (AU).

Qualidade das informações sobre lipoaspiração para o público leigo: Uma revisão de escopo / Quality of information about liposuction for the lay public: A scoping review

Introdução: Esta revisão de escopo tem por objetivo analisar a qualidade das informações sobre lipoaspiração para o público leigo. Método: Foi realizada busca na literatura no período de 18 de novembro a 12 de dezembro de 2021 nas seguintes plataformas de base de dados: Medline, Cochrane, LILACS, Embase e BVS. A estratégia de busca envolveu a combinação de vários descritores. Três investigadores independentes leram o resumo dos estudos que foram obtidos usando a estratégia de busca para avaliar aqueles que preenchiam os critérios de elegibilidade. Resultados: Inicialmente, foram levantados 33 artigos utilizando a estratégia de busca. Dentre esses, 23 estudos foram excluídos após a leitura dos resumos e avaliação dos critérios de elegibilidade, por não possuírem desfechos de interesse ao tema proposto. Assim, dez estudos preenchiam os critérios de inclusão, sendo nove estudos transversais e uma revisão de literatura. Dentre os dez artigos incluídos, nove relatam que as informações sobre lipoaspiração são precárias e imprecisas. Conclusão: O conteúdo sobre lipoaspiração disponibilizado ao público leigo por meio da Internet é, na sua maioria, insatisfatório.

Introduction: This scoping review aims to analyze the quality of information about liposuction for the lay public. Method: A literature search was carried out from November 18 to December 12, 2021, on the following database platforms: Medline, Cochrane, LILACS, Embase, and VHL. The search strategy involved the combination of several descriptors. Three independent investigators read the abstract of studies obtained using the search strategy to evaluate those that met the eligibility criteria. Results: Initially, 33 articles were collected using the search strategy. Among these, 23 studies were excluded after reading the abstracts and evaluating the eligibility criteria, as they did not have outcomes of interest to the proposed topic. Thus, ten studies met the inclusion criteria, nine of which were cross-sectional and one literature review. Among the ten articles included, nine report that information about liposuction is poor and inaccurate. Conclusion: The content on liposuction made available to the lay public via the Internet is, for the most part, unsatisfactory.

Consolidation of the Journal Investigación y Educación en Enfermería as a Publication with Impact on the Dissemination of Nursing Knowledge

Almost 14 years ago, Dean Beatriz Elena Ospina Rave entrusted me with the direction of the IEE Journal, given the leave of absence taken by the then director, María del Pilar Pastor, who had been named Secretary of Health of the Municipality of Medellín. Meeting this responsibility represented a great academic and professional challenge because it was a scientific publication of the highest quality in the area of Nursing, recognized in Colombia and Latin America. I received a journal with 26 years of uninterrupted edition and which already had three years in category A2 in the PUBLINDEX by COLCIENCIAS, hence, I had the commitment to lead the preparation of the publication to ascend to the long-awaited maximum A1 category, for which it was "only" necessary to meet the most complex criterion to obtain: achieve indexing in Medline, or in at Consolidation of the Journal Investigación y Educación en Enfermería as a Publication with Impact on the Dissemination of Nursing Knowledge*Invest Educ Enferm. 2023; 41(3): e01least one of the bibliographic citational bases, like Elsevier's Scopus or in the Web of Science, now Clarivate.
