    Title translation COVID-19: Dados Atualizados e sua Relação Com o Sistema Cardiovascular.
    Abstract In December 2019, a new human coronavirus, called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by the World Health Organization, emerged in the city of Wuhan, China. Spreading globally, it is now considered pandemic, with approximately 3 million cases worldwide at the end of April. Its symptoms include fever, cough, and headache, but the main one is shortness of breath. In turn, it is believed that there is a relationship between COVID-19 and damage to the heart muscle, and hypertensive and diabetic patients, for example, seem to have worse prognosis. Therefore, COVID-19 may worsen in individuals with underlying adverse conditions, and a not negligible number of patients hospitalized with this virus had cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases. Systemic inflammatory response and immune system disorders during disease progression may be behind this association. In addition, the virus uses angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) receptors, more precisely ACE2, to penetrate the cell; therefore, the use of ACE inhibitor drugs and angiotensin receptor blockers could cause an increase in these receptors, thus facilitating the entry of the virus into the cell. There is, however, no scientific evidence to support the interruption of these drugs. Since they are fundamental for certain chronic diseases, the risk and benefit of their withdrawal in this scenario should be carefully weighed. Finally, cardiologists and health professionals should be aware of the risks of infection and protect themselves as much as possible, sleeping properly and avoiding long working hours.

    Abstract Resumo Em dezembro de 2019, um novo coronavírus humano, chamado síndrome respiratória aguda grave do coronavírus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ou nomeado doença de coronavírus (COVID-19) pela Organização Mundial da Saúde, surgiu na cidade de Wuhan, China. Difundido globalmente, é atualmente considerado pandêmico, com aproximadamente 3 milhões de casos no mundo no final de abril. Seus sintomas incluem febre, tosse, dor de cabeça e falta de ar, esse último considerado o sintoma principal. Por sua vez, acredita-se que haja uma relação entre o COVID-19 e danos ao músculo cardíaco, e pacientes com hipertensão e diabetes, por exemplo, parecem apresentar prognóstico pior. Portanto, o COVID-19 pode piorar em indivíduos com condições adversas subjacentes. Um número não negligenciável de pacientes internados com este vírus tinham doenças cardiovasculares ou cerebrovasculares. A resposta inflamatória sistêmica e distúrbios do sistema imunológico durante a progressão da doença podem estar por trás dessa associação. Além disso, o vírus usa os receptores da enzima conversora da angiotensina (ECA), mais especificamente da ECA2, para penetrar nas células; portanto, o uso de fármacos inibidores de ECA e bloqueadores de receptores de angiotensina pode causar um aumento nestes receptores, assim facilitando a entrada do vírus na célula. No entanto, não há evidências científicas que apóiem a interrupção desses medicamentos. Considerando que são fundamentais para o manejo de certas doenças crônicas, os riscos e benefícios da sua retirada devem ser cuidadosamente ponderados neste cenário. Finalmente, cardiologistas e profissionais de saúde devem estar cientes dos riscos de infecção e se proteger o máximo possível, dormindo adequadamente e evitando longos turnos de trabalho.

    Abstract Background: The prevalence of obesity among children as well as the beneficial effects of physical exercise (PE) on weight loss has been determined by modulating the secretory factors of adipose tissue. PE has also been shown to have beneficial effects on obesity.
    Objective: The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the effects of physical exercise (PE) on adiponectin and other important health markers in children.
    Data sources: We searched 6 electronic databases (PubMed/Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Cinahl, Scopus, and Web of Science) and Google Scholar for randomized controlled trials from inception to December 15, 2021. We used random-effects models to estimate weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).
    Study selection: Fourteen studies were included (N = 468 participants; mean age: 14 years).
    Results: In general, PE increased adiponectin (WMD: 0.91 µg/mL; 95% CI, 0.27 to 1.55,
    Conclusion: Our study showed that PE may increase the level of adiponectin, HDL-C, and VO

    Abstract Based on the Evolution of Increased Competitive Ability (EICA) hypothesis, a reduced investment in immunity, consequent to parasite loss, could partly explain the success of invasive alien species. We investigated variation in parasite load and immune responses of alien Eastern gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) along the invasion wave of an expanding population. We first verified by fecal analyses that 1) parasite abundance decreased moving from the core towards the invasion front. Next, we used multiple measures of immunity to investigate whether, in response to the lower parasite pressure, individuals at the invasion front 2) dampened their costly inflammatory response, and 3) increased their investment in less expensive acquired immunity. We first explored variation in hematological variables related either to the inflammatory or the acquired response. On a subset of individuals, we carried out ex vivo cell cultures to analyse the basal expression of MHC class II genes and the expression of TNF-α genes in response to an immune challenge. Platelet counts and TNF-α expression suggested higher inflammation in individuals living at the invasion core, whereas parameters associated with an acquired response (lymphocyte counts and MHC II expression by spleen cells), conversely, were higher in squirrels at the front. Overall, our results suggest a shift between different immune strategies along the invasion wave, supporting a reduced investment in costly inflammatory responses and an increased investment in acquired immunity in individuals at the expanding edge of the range, which are subjected to high selective pressures for dispersal and reproduction.
