    Abstract COVID-19 has spread rapidly worldwide. Information on its prevalence and factors associated with infection are important for protecting both professionals and patients in healthcare centers. This study evaluated the seroprevalence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 and its association with the degree of exposure and use of personal protective equipment by healthcare professionals dedicated to the treatment of patients with flu-like illnesses in the emergency room. The research team included an analysis of healthcare professionals who underwent enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay serological testing for SARS-CoV-2 between May 28 and June 26, 2020, in the emergency room of Sírio-Libanês Hospital in São Paulo, Brazil. Participants answered individual questionnaires on occupational information, medical health history, and factors associated with exposure to the novel coronavirus. The questionnaire variables were compared based on the serological results. Of the 164 study participants, 96 (58.54%) reported at least 1 flu-like symptom and 42 (25.61%) presented serology results that were compatible with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The asymptomatic declared group accounted for 62 participants; of these, 8 (12.90%) had positive serology results (neutralizing antibody and IgG) for SARS-CoV-2. Data analysis showed a positive correlation with duration of work, safety in wearing and reusing personal protective equipment, and presence of anosmia, and showed a negative relationship with duration of mask use. Our findings suggest that the perception of symptoms by healthcare professionals is not a good screening parameter for the diagnosis of an infectious disease with respiratory symptoms, such as COVID-19. The main influencing factor for the control of infection is the elaboration of workflows and safety protocols based on simple and clear rules as well as investments in team training.

    Abstract Study objective: We developed prediction models for hospital admission and prolonged length of stay in older adults admitted from the emergency department (ED).
    Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients aged 70 years or older who visited a geriatric ED in Brazil (N=5,025 visits). We randomly allocated participants to derivation and validation samples in a 2:1 ratio. We then selected 21 variables based on their clinical relevance and generated models to predict the following outcomes: hospital admission and prolonged length of stay, defined as the upper tertile of hospital stay. We used backward stepwise logistic regressions to select our final predictors and developed risk scoring systems based on the relative values of their β coefficients.
    Results: Overall, 57% of the participants were women, 31% were hospitalized, and 1% died in the hospital. The upper tertile of hospital stay was greater than 7 days. Hospital admission was best predicted by a model including male sex, aged 90 years or older, hospitalization in the previous 6 months, weight loss greater than or equal to 5% in the previous year, acute mental alteration, and acute functional decline. The prediction of prolonged length of stay retained the same variables, except male sex, which was substituted for fatigue. The final scoring system reached areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.74 for hospital admission and 0.79 for prolonged length of stay, and their accuracies were confirmed in the validation models.
    Conclusion: The PRO-AGE scoring system predicted hospital admission and prolonged length of stay in older adults with good accuracy, using a simple approach and only 7 easily obtained clinical variables.

    Abstract Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is a rare, potentially fatal syndrome of immune hyperactivation. Here we describe a ganglionar tuberculosis evolving to hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis following adjuvant immunotherapy in a melanoma patient.
    Case presentation: A 76-year-old Caucasian male with melanoma started with fever, diffuse petechiae, splenomegaly, anemia, thrombocytopenia, hypofibrinogenemia, and hyperferritinemia 2 months following completion of adjuvant treatment with nivolumab. Positron emission tomography scan showed significant hypermetabolism in cervical, supraclavicular, mediastinal, and abdominal lymph nodes. Bone marrow aspiration demonstrated no alterations, except for a hypercellular pattern. Dexamethasone and intravenous immunoglobulin were started owing to suspicion of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Core biopsy of the infracarinal lymph node revealed a chronic granulomatous inflammation and caseous necrosis, with positivity for Mycobacterium tuberculosis by polymerase chain reaction, and treatment for ganglionar tuberculosis was started.
    Conclusion: This case highlights the challenges involving programmed cell death 1 blockade in high-risk melanoma, in which infections, lymphoproliferative disorders, and sarcoidosis can mimic disease progression and trigger immune-related adverse events.

    Abstract Introduction: According to the published literature, blood pressure (BP) measurements performed in the outpatient clinical setting are often inaccurate. The white coat effect and improper technique are the main causes of this imprecision. Construction of a set of readings without them could improve the accuracy of BP measurement.
    Objective: To evaluate the accuracy and agreement of successive office BP measurements using the awake blood pressure average (ABPa) as the gold standard.
    Methods: BP was measured in 852 patients using three techniques: in office (OBPa); seven successive measurements performed by a nurse using an automatic device; and 24 h of ambulatory BP monitoring. BP averages (BPa) were obtained from the nurse's measurements: 1-2BPa (first and second), 3-7BPa (third to seventh), and 1-7BPa (first to seventh). OBPa and successive measurements were tested against ABPa by calculating the following: average difference in BP of 1-2BPa, 3-7BPa and OBPa, and the area under the curve.
    Results: Among the 834 patients eligible, 374 (43.9%) were considered to be hypertensive on the basis of the ABPa (≥135/85 mmHg). 3-7BPa showed the lowest average difference (4/3 mmHg). By contrast, OBPa showed the highest result (21/11 mmHg). The mean difference with 1-2BPa was 8/4 mmHg. The areas under the curve were better with 3-7BPa (0.82-0.85) and 1-2BPa (0.82-0.83) than OBPa (0.67-0.71) for both systolic and diastolic BP.
    Conclusion: All means from successive measurements showed a better precision than OBPa, even the two first readings. However, more research needs to be carried out before recommendation of the use of this technique in routine practice.

    Abstract Objectives: Community members should be trained so that witnesses of cardiac arrests are able to trigger the emergency system and perform adequate resuscitation. In this study, the authors evaluated the results of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training of communities in four Brazilian cities, using personal resuscitation manikins.
    Methods: In total, 9,200 manikins were distributed in Apucarana, Itanhaém, Maringá, and São Carlos, which are cities where the populations range from 80,000 to 325,000 inhabitants. Elementary and secondary school teachers were trained on how to identify a cardiac arrest, trigger the emergency system, and perform chest compressions. The teachers were to transfer the training to their students, who would then train their families and friends.
    Results: In total, 49,131 individuals were trained (6.7% of the population), but the original strategy of using teachers and students as multipliers was responsible for only 27.9% of the training. A total of 508 teachers were trained, and only 88 (17.3%) transferred the training to the students. Furthermore, the students have trained only 45 individuals of the population. In Maringá and São Carlos, the strategy was changed and professionals in the primary health care system were prepared and used as multipliers. This strategy proved extremely effective, especially in Maringá, where 39,041 individuals were trained (79.5% of the total number of trainings). Community health care providers were more effective in passing the training to students than the teachers (odds ratio [OR] = 7.12; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 4.74 to 10.69; p < 0.0001).
    Conclusions: Instruction of CPR using personal manikins by professionals in the primary health care system seems to be a more efficient strategy for training the community than creating a training network in the schools.
