    Abstract INTRODUCTION Different interventions have been proposed to improve influenza vaccine coverage. The use of reminders, through letters, phone calls, pamphlets or technological applications, among others, has stood out among the different alternatives to increase adherence to vaccination. However, its effectiveness is not clear. In this summary, the first of a series of evaluation of reminders will address the use of a reminder sent by mail. METHODS We searched in Epistemonikos, the largest database of systematic reviews in health, which is maintained by screening multiple information sources, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, among others. We extracted data from the identified reviews, analyzed the data from the primary studies, performed a meta-analysis and prepared a summary table of the results using the GRADE method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS We identified eight systematic reviews that included 35 primary studies, of which 32 correspond to randomized trials. We concluded that a reminder sent by mail, probably increase adherence to influenza vaccination in all age groups (adult population, over 60 an under 18)

    Abstract As environmental concerns and regulatory requirements increase over time, new alternatives for swine manure disposal emerge. Among them, anaerobic biodigestion is a relevant technology because it reduces the organic load of wastewater before its final disposal and provides economic benefits to farmers with biogas and biofertilizer production. Efficiently managing the anaerobic biodigestion process remains a challenge in developing countries, mainly due to the lack of information from swine meat producers to deal with the complexity of this system. A risk analysis can represent a promising tool for farm assistance because it provides a process overview. Hence, this study reports the results of a process mapping in a swine meat production farm in Minas Gerais, Brazil. This mapping was performed while monitoring biodigestion operational parameters and allowed the identification of the primary causes of process failures and potential environmental impacts. The results showed that anaerobic digestion promotes a relevant environmental gain. However, the need for improved process monitoring, investments in environmental assessment equipment, and technical training for producers also stood out as an improvement opportunity.

    Abstract A female newborn, born at 38 weeks from an uncomplicated pregnancy in a healthy 36-years-old mother, presented at birth with desquamative erythematous plaques with irregular borders, distributed bilaterally in the orbital, nasal and malar regions. Although there was no history of maternal autoimmune disease, neonatal lupus (NL) was suspected. Maternal and newborn screenings were positive for Sjögren syndrome type A antigen (anti-Ro/SSA) antibodies. No other alterations of NL were found in the newborn. Rheumatologic consultation on the mother showed no other alterations besides the antibodies. The newborn was discharged on day 3 of life without treatment and recommendations to avoid sun exposure. Outpatient follow-up was ensured in neonatology, dermatology and pediatric cardiology. The rash resolved during the first year of life, leaving slight local skin atrophy. NL is a rare transferred autoimmune disease with an incidence estimated as 1:20,000 live births. It occurs due to placental transfer of maternal autoantibodies. The major manifestations are cardiac and cutaneous, but hepatic, hematologic or neurologic findings may also be present. The rash usually affects the face and scalp and may be present at delivery but more often develops later, after exposure to ultraviolet light. It usually resolves within the first year of life without sequelae. NL is the leading cause of congenital heart block, but if it is not present at birth it rarely develops. Some mothers do not have a known autoimmune disease at the time of birth but may develop it later in life. Despite NL being a passively acquired autoimmune disease, the child is at increased risk of rheumatologic disease in childhood or adolescence.

    Abstract Los medios de comunicación han favorecido la construcción de estereotipos de género, de tal forma que las personas son capaces de adoptarlos por su representación en los medios y se instauran en el imaginario colectivo como correctos y son transmitidos, legitimados y reproducidos en entornos personales, familiares y sociales. Las personas nacen en una sociedad estereotipada. Los niños encuentran estereotipos en sus juguetes; los adolescentes, con la ropa y los adultos, con sus oficios. Y todo esto visualizado en contenidos comunicacionales, como los programas de televisión, la publicidad, los libros, etc. El objetivo de esta investigación fue identificar los estereotipos femeninos representados en la telenovela ecuatoriana “Sharon La Hechicera”, determinando si estos han sido apropiados por su audiencia. El 52% de las personas que visualizaron la telenovela fueron de Santo Domingo de los Colorados; el 30%, fueron de Guayaquil y el 18%, fueron de Quito. Entre los estereotipos que mayormente asimilan los ecuatorianos se encuentra que “las mujeres deben soportar infidelidades y maltratos de sus esposos, para mantener su matrimonio” y “las mujeres que usan prendas cortas son más fáciles y accesibles”. Y finalmente, con las entrevistas se pudo determinar que sí existe una reproducción de comportamientos, influenciados por la visualización de la telenovela. Como principal conclusión, los estereotipos femeninos identificados en la telenovela tienen relación con el aspecto físico, las prendas de vestir principalmente, las apariencias y la posición económica. No todas las mujeres entrevistadas conocen el significado de un estereotipo, pero sí son capaces de identificarlos, reproducirlos y asimilarlos en su construcción social.

    Abstract Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) is a very rare congenital vascular malformation. Also known as the “median prosencephalic arteriovenous fistula”, VGAM is a subtype of dural arteriovenous fistula. It is believed that the development of VGAM occurs between weeks 6 and 11 of embryo development. Prenatal diagnosis is based on fetal ultrasound, between the second and third trimesters. Despite prenatal diagnosis, this congenital malformation is associated with high morbidity and mortality. We report the case of a 38-year-old primigravida referred at 32 weeks of gestational age to our Prenatal Diagnosis Unit for a suspected VGAM. The remaining fetal assessment was normal. At 38 weeks, a male newborn weighing 3,825 g was born. The postnatal evaluation confirmed VGAM. Endovascular treatment was performed at 4 and 5 months, without complications. The patient is currently 9 months old and has a normal neurodevelopment.

    Abstract The most common cause of neonatal skull fracture is trauma from instruments used during an assisted birth. In the literature, there are limited reports of neonatal depressed skull fractures (DSF) in the absence of birth trauma. The diagnosis is based on clinical and radiological findings. We present the case of a female neonate, born full-term after a eutocic delivery. The pregnancy was unremarkable. There was no history of trauma during pregnancy or delivery. At birth, a congenital depression in the right parietal region was noted. Head computed tomography revealed a right parietal depressed fracture, without underlying brain lesion. Surgical elevation was performed with favourable outcome. There were no complications. The patient is currently 9 months old and has a normal neurodevelopment.

    Abstract Objetivo: verificar a toxicidade aguda de extrato etanólico bruto das partes aéreas desta espécie vegetal frente a Artemia salina. Métodos: O extrato das partes aéreas da Lippia microphylla, nas concentrações de 1,0, 10,0, 100,0 e 1000,0 μg/mL, foi utilizado nos ensaios de toxicidade aguda utilizando o microcrustáceo Artemia salina (n = 10), incubados por um período de 24 e 48 horas, realizados em triplicata. O número de náuplios mortos foram quantificados e a CL50 foram calculadas por regressão não-linear. Resultados: O extrato da Lippia microphylla durante incubação por 24hs promoveu toxicidade (p < 0,05) apenas na maior concentração do extrato (1000 μg/mL). Já na exposição por 48h, mostrou CL50 de 246,7 ± 27,85 μg/mL, apresentando toxicidade moderada. Conclusão: As folhas de Lippia microphylla possuem princípios ativos, os quais, provavelmente, não conseguem ser totalmente eliminados pelo metabolismo da A. salina durante 48hs, causando-lhes toxicidade moderada.

    Abstract The quantitative assessment of the carbonate system represents one of the biggest challenges toward the "Sustainable Development Goals" defined by the United Nations in 2015. In this sense, the present study investigated the Spatio-temporal dynamics of the carbonate system and the effects of the El Niño and La Niña phenomena over the Cabo Frio upwelling area. The physical characterization of the site was carried out through data on wind speed and sea surface temperature. Water samples were also collected during the oceanographic cruise onboard the Diadorim R/V (Research Vessel). From these samples, the parameters of absolute and practical salinity, density, pH, total alkalinity, carbonate, calcite, aragonite, bicarbonate dissolved inorganic carbon, carbon dioxide, partial pressure of carbon, calcium, and total boron were obtained. The highest average concentration of bicarbonate in S1 (2018 µmol/kg) seems to contribute to the dissolved inorganic carbon values (2203 µmol/kg). The values of calcite saturation state, aragonite saturation state, and carbonate were higher on the surface of each station (calcite saturation state = 4.80-5.48; aragonite saturation state = 3.10-3.63, and carbonate = 189-216 µmol/kg). The mean values of pH were similar in the day/night samples (7.96/7.97). The whole carbonate system was calculated through thermodynamic modeling with the Marine Chemical Analysis (AQM) program loaded with the results of the following parameters: temperature, salinity, total alkalinity, and pH parameters. This manuscript presents original data on the carbonate system and the "acidification" process influenced by the Cabo Frio upwelling, which directly depends on the El Niño and La Niña phenomena oscillations in the sea surface temperature.
