The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the popularization of information and communication technology in medical education. This study aimed compare objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) virtual (vOSCE), based on expert opinion, as tools for assessing competencies needed under curriculum guidelines Brazil. In this multicenter study, suitability levels OSCE vOSCE Brazilian National Curriculum Guidelines (DCNs) were compared. DCNs encompass five groups domains, namely, health education;...
Adherence to antiretrovirals by pregnant women (and postpartum if breastfeeding) is crucial effectively decrease maternal viral load and the risk of mother-to-child transmission HIV. Our objectives were describe self-reported adherence during antepartum (after 22 weeks pregnancy) periods (6-12 6 months), identify predictors among HIV-infected enrolled followed in a prospective cohort study from June 2008 2010 at multiple sites Latin America. was evaluated using number missed expected doses 3...
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) urinary shedding in pregnant women infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was evaluated to determine whether it poses an increased risk for congenital CMV infection (cCMV).A subset of mother-infant pairs enrolled the perinatal NICHD HPTN 040 study (distinguished by no antiretroviral use before labor) evaluated. Maternal and infant urines were tested qualitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) DNA quantitative RT-PCR performed on positive...
Significant decrease in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) vertical transmission has been observed worldwide centers where interventions such as antiretroviral therapy (ART), elective cesarean section, and avoidance of breastfeeding have implemented. This prospective cohort study aimed to assess the determinants temporal trends HIV-1 metropolitan area Belo Horizonte, Brazil from January 1998 December 2005. The rate decreased 20% 3% decline was associated with increased use more...
In the past few years there has been increasing concern about transmission of drug-resistant HIV. This study aimed to describe frequency primary mutations associated with HIV-1 drug resistance and prevalence genetic HIV subtypes in a population vertically infected children before initiation HAART. At time genotypic testing, median age was 6.0 (IQR 25-75%: 3.8-9.2) at admission 3.84 1.23-6.11). Antepartum maternal ARV exposure for PMTCT occurred three (7.3%) mothers. According WHO criteria,...

Foram coletados dados demográficos, epidemiologia história obstétrica. Para análise estatística foi utilizado o SPSS 12.0. RESULTADOS: foram identificadas 85 mulheres com média idade 29,1 anos...
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been prioritized in relation to other illnesses considered critical, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases/stroke, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases. management of patients with these diseases involves dental care reduce systemic complications caused by odontogenic infections, and/or treat oral manifestations comorbidities. In this regard, the individuals must be guaranteed during pandemic. Although a high risk exposure catching COVID-19 is expected...
Objectives: To assess hepatic enzyme (HE) and hematologic abnormalities among human immunodeficiency virus-1-uninfected infants according to maternal antiretroviral regimen during pregnancy. Study Design: In a prospective cohort, HE values of virus-1-uninfected, term with hospital discharge (HD) within 6 days after birth were evaluated. Maternal regimens categorized as: 1 or 2 nucleoside reverse transcription inhibitors (NRTIs), highly active therapy (HAART)/protease inhibitor (PI),...
Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to integrate the available data published on leukaemic infiltration in oral and maxillofacial region into a comprehensive analysis its clinical manifestations, imaginological characteristics, management survival. Materials methods An electronic search with no publication date restriction undertaken October 2020 following databases: PubMed, Web Science, Scopus Embase. Overall survival calculated by Kaplan‐Meier test. A critical appraisal...
We assessed the development of drug resistance in women exposed to antiretroviral therapy (ART) for prevention mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) after 24 weeks postpartum a prospective cohort HIV-1-infected women. women, who received prophylactic ART during pregnancy, had genotypic testing performed at start (T1) and interruption (T2). The CD4 counts >250 cells/ml no AIDS defining conditions. Of 30 eligible median age was 27 years [25–75% interquartile range (IQR): 21–32] gestational...
Antiretroviral adherence in the postpartum period is crucial for maternal health and decreasing risk of mother-to-child HIV transmission to sexual partners. Self-reported antiretroviral was examined between 6- 12-weeks 30 months among 270 HIV-infected women enrolled a prospective cohort study from 2008 2010 at multiple sites Latin America. Adherence data were collected each visit quantify proportion prescribed antiretrovirals taken during previous three days, assess timing last missed dose,...

Blocking mother-to-child transmission was one of the greatest victories against HIV infection. A reduction in infection rates down to below 2% achieved by applying strategies such as recognition maternal (HIV serological testing or rapid test) during prenatal period at delivery, use antiretrovirals, elective route delivery according patient’s viral load, and replacement breastfeeding formula. In Brazil, recommended regimen includes an anti-retroviral scheme composed three drugs from two...
