Objective: Evaluate the data on psychotropic drugs dispensed by private community pharmacies before and during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Methods: This cross-sectional study compared quarterly annual consumption of per Defined Daily Dose 1000 inhabitants-day (DHD). Interrupted time series were also constructed to expose changes in pattern periods after March 2020. Results: Among 20 most consumed psychoactive drugs, 12 antidepressants, for example, escitalopram (DHD 7.996 10.626; p < 0.001),...
Community Restaurants (CRs), part of the Brazilian government's Popular Restaurant Program (PRP), provide free and/or affordable nutritionally balanced meals as an essential strategy to meet most vulnerable population's basic needs and rights. This cross-sectional study evaluated effectiveness these CRs' proposed objectives in cities with ≥100,000 inhabitants Brazil's northern northeastern regions-Brazil's historically unequal regions. Effectiveness was assessed using a CR evaluation...
Salmonella represents one of the most common foodborne pathogens, frequently associated with contamination poultry products, constituting a prominent worldwide public health concern. This study determined prevalence and antimicrobial resistance spp. in chilled chicken meat (115 samples) commercialized at retail Federal District, Brazil. Microbiological tests were performed to screen for samples, isolated strains confirmed by invA gene presence (PCR technique). The evaluated susceptibility...
This study aimed to assess Salmonella spp. prevalence in aquaculture Nile tilapia commercialized the Federal District, Brazil, and determine antimicrobial resistance profile of isolates. Fifty-seven strains were isolated from 101 samples fresh fillets collected Brazil. These isolates subjected susceptibility testing by Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion method analyzed for presence blaCTX, tetB, sul2, floR genes. The was 45.5%; that is, 46 positive InvA gene. showed high rates amoxicillin/clavulanic...
(1) Background: Obesity and its comorbidities can cause burdens limitations. Bariatric surgery (BS) is indicated as a safe procedure to reduce body mass improve present comorbidities. However, several complications were reported, such vitamin D [25(OH)D] deficiency. We evaluated if 25(OH)D serum levels relate clinical characteristics, symptoms, or habits in women after their BS, whether the receptor (VDR) gene’s TaqI FokI polymorphisms affected total bone mineral density (TBBMD). (2)...
Populational aging is marked by chronic non-communicable diseases, such as metabolic syndrome (MetS). IL-10 and IL-1&beta; are pleiotropic cytokines with multiple biological effects linked to disorders. This cross-sectional study assessed 193 participants' serum levels regarding their role in developing MetS, clinical characteristics, IL1B rs1143627 IL10 rs1800890 variants' genotype frequencies a population over 60. correlated weakly HDL fat mass inversely triglycerides, glucose,...

Introduction: Research addressing the costs of Medication errors (MEs) is still scarce despite issues related to patient safety having significant economic and health impacts, making it imperative analyze adverse events MEs for a better patient, professional, institutional safety. Aim: To identify number medication verify whether this was associated with increased hospitalization patients in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Method: This retrospective cross-sectional cohort study evaluated...
Aging is accompanied by various functional modifications determined their environment, lifestyle, nutrition, and genetics. Based on these factors, it essential to verify the vitamin deficiency in elderly population. Hypovitaminosis D commonly present human aging, increasing chances of developing noncommunicable chronic diseases. The VDR gene TaqI polymorphism may modify metabolic pathway altering interaction between receptor active circulating D. Therefore, this study aimed investigate...
Background. Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is involved in several biological processes associated with well-being and mental health, alterations its function might directly impact various disorders. Some disorders concomitantly occur individuals clinical characteristics, such as substance abuse diabetes. Objective. To analyze the functional MAOA uVNTR polymorphism genotype frequency an older adult population diabetes mellitus/arterial hypertension associate this characteristics impacting daily...
<abstract> Systemic mycoses have become a major cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly among immunocompromised hosts long-term hospitalized patients. Conventional antifungal agents are limited because not only their costs toxicity but also the rise resistant strains. Lipopeptides from <italic>Paenibacillus</italic> species exhibit antimicrobial activity against wide range human plant bacterial pathogens. However, potential these compounds important pathogens has yet been fully...
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a multifactorial condition common in the general population, treated with different antidepressants. Several genes are involved metabolism of these antidepressants, including CYP2C19. Consequently, functional polymorphisms affect drugs' metabolism. Through an integrative review, this research aimed to verify CYP2C19 gene polymorphisms' influence on antidepressant metabolism, evaluate their frequency patients affected by MDD, clinical and demographic...
Stroke is one of the leading causes death worldwide. Hemorrhagic strokes (HS) present higher mortality than ischemic stroke (IS) and promote disability dependency on trivial activities in most patients. Although unclear for HS, inflammatory mediators appear to IS onset that anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-10, could mitigate. Polymorphisms cytokine locus can affect its expression, especially regulation regions, or protein's structure and, consequently, biological role, impacting...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Population aging underlines the critical need for improving health professional training to adequately care older adults (over 60 years old). </sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> Develop and validate a serious game on adult undergraduate nursing students. <title>METHODS</title> This quantitative descriptive methodological study, conducted between February December 2023 at public university in Federal District, involved active participation of 27 8th-year The game,...
Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine in world. Noting that NOS3 gene polymorphism interferes with nitric oxide production, this study aims to identify and analyze intron 4 region patients papillary thyroid cancer. A case-control was conducted 31 of both genders who underwent thyroidectomy treatment sodium iodide radiopharmaceutical (131I) compared 81 control patients. Through cancer, results were observed, compiled, analyzed using SPSS version 25.0. The significance level 5% adopted....
This study aimed to evaluate the microbiological quality of sashimi and sushi sold in Federal District, Brazil. A total 54 samples (27 27 sushi) were collected 25 commercial establishments. Samples tested for counts mesophilic psychrotrophic bacteria, determination thermotolerant coliforms, Staphylococcus aureus counts, presence Salmonella. The results showed that 40.7% (11/27) 25.9% (7/27) unfit consumption according Brazilian legislation. Salmonella (genetically confirmed by invA gene's...
