RESUMO: Objetivos: Identificar a prevalência da doença renal crônica (DRC) autorreferida no Brasil e caracterizar os fatores associados essa enfermidade. Métodos: Trata-se de um inquérito epidemiológico base domiciliar, Pesquisa Nacional Saúde (PNS) realizada em 2013. O desfecho analisado foi DRC. Os grupos variáveis explicativas foram: características sociodemográficas, estilos vida, doenças crônicas autorreferidas, antropometria avaliação saúde. Foram estimadas as prevalências DRC...
Describing the prevalence and trends of cardiometabolic risk factors that are associated with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is crucial for monitoring progress, planning prevention, providing evidence to support policy efforts. We aimed analyse transition in body-mass index (BMI), obesity, blood pressure, raised diabetes Americas, between 1980 2014.
Este artigo discute a teoria e prática da educação saúde. Parte idéia hegemonia, na pedagógica em saúde, de estratégias ligadas à noção que apreensão saber instituído sempre leva aquisição novos comportamentos práticas. Diferentes axiomas têm norteado as práticas saúde momentos distintos e/ou justapostos. O primeiro axioma volta-se para superação relação determinação dos conhecimentos sobre práticas; o segundo refere-se das representações terceiro vincula-se análise dentro do tradicional...
ABSTRACT Volunteers living in an area where schistosomiasis mansoni is endemic were subjected to ultrasound examination and classified into groups according the levels of fibrosis diagnosed, namely, absence indications (group 0), incipient 1), moderate/severe 2). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) collected from volunteers stimulated with soluble antigens adult schistosomes or schistosome eggs, production cytokines gamma interferon, tumor necrosis factor alpha, transforming growth β...
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is recognized worldwide as an important public health concern. However, little information available for rural populations in Brazil. The aim was to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with MS a village Brazil 2004. DESIGN SETTING: Cross-sectional population-based study, Virgem das Graças, community Jequitinhonha Valley, State of Minas Gerais. METHODS: dependent variable, defined any three these factors: arterial hypertension,...
Hookworm infection is considered one of the most important poverty-promoting neglected tropical diseases, infecting 576 to 740 million people worldwide, especially in tropics and subtropics. These blood-feeding nematodes have a remarkable ability downmodulate host immune response, protecting themselves from elimination minimizing severe pathology. While several mechanisms may be involved immunomodulation by parasitic infection, experimental evidences pointed toward possible involvement...
Retinochoroiditis manifests in patients infected with Toxoplasma gondii. Here, we assessed 30 sibships and 89 parent/case trios of presumed ocular toxoplasmosis (POT) to evaluate associations polymorphisms the NOD2 gene. Three haplotype-tagging single-nucleotide (tag-SNPs) within gene were genotyped. The family-based association test showed that tag-SNP rs3135499 is associated retinochoroiditis (P = .039). We then characterized cellular immune response 59 cases POT 4 active (AOT). found no...
OBJETIVO: Estimar os níveis de atividade física e sua associação com fatores sociodemográficos em moradores áreas rurais. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal, base populacional, incluindo 567 adultos duas comunidades rurais do Vale Jequitinhonha, MG, entre anos 2008 2009. Os foram coletados por meio Questionário Internacional Atividade Física, versão longa adaptada. Utilizou-se o ponto corte 150 minutos semanal domínios: trabalho, domicílio, lazer deslocamento. pesquisados sexo, cor da pele, idade,...
A number of studies have pointed out the potential importance household in transmission schistosomiasis. The clustering domestic activities associated with water collection, storage, and usage can result sharing sites infective contact behaviours. In this study, we employed a variance component method to estimate effects due individual risk factors shared residence on faecal egg counts during Schistosoma mansoni infection. suite covariates, which included demographic, socioeconomic, supply,...
Summary We evaluated the role of family in transmission Helicobacter pylori infection preschool‐aged children from a rural district State Minas Gerais, Brazil. Sixty‐six families (66 index children, 63 mothers, 60 fathers and 134 siblings), defined as at least one parent living same household with offspring up to 8 years old, were studied. Odds ratios (OR) 95% confidence intervals (CI) estimated by logistic regression controlling for age, gender, number H. status father, mother siblings. The...
Background New interventions tools are a priority for schistosomiasis control and elimination, as the disease is still highly prevalent. The identification of proteins associated with active infection protective immune response may constitute basis development successful vaccine could also indicate new diagnostic candidates. In this context, post-genomic technologies have been progressing, resulting in more rational discovery biomarkers resistance antigens diagnosis. Methodology/Principal...
This paper examines the results of spatial (microgeographical) water contact/schistosomiasis studies in two African (Egyptian and Kenyan) one Brazilian communities. All three used traditional cartographic statistical methods but them emploeyd also GIS (geographical information systems) tools. The advantage their potential role schistosomiasis control are briefly described. cases revealed considerable variation distribution contact, transmission parameters infection levels at household...
A total of 256 sites in 11 habitats were surveyed for Biomphalaria Melquiades rural area (State Minas Gerais) August and November 1999 March 2000. Of the 1,780 collected, 1,721 (96.7%) B. glabrata 59 (3.3%) straminea. Snails found all except wells, with largest mean numbers tanks, seepage ponds canals, smallest springs, rice fields fishponds. People's knowledge occurrence at collection presence ova strongly correlated snails, distance between houses sites, as well water velocity inversely (p...
A cross-sectional household study involving 499 individuals was undertaken in an area of Minas Gerais state, Brazil, where infection with Toxoplasma gondii is endemic. Nearly 50% (n = 247) the sample had T. gondii-specific antibodies, even 5 –9-year-old age group. Approximately 12.5% 28) a random subsample participants who were positive for antibodies ocular lesions associated T infection. The frequency toxoplasmosis increased significantly age, ∼50% >60 years having lesions. size lesion...
Background Schistosomiasis affects more than 200 million individuals worldwide, with a further 650 living at risk of infection, constituting severe health problem in developing countries. Even though an effective treatment exists, it does not prevent re-infection, and the development vaccine still remains most desirable means control for this disease. Methodology/Principal Findings Herein, we report cloning characterization S. mansoni Stomatin-like protein 2 (SmStoLP-2). In silico analysis...
ABSTRACT Objective: To study the epidemiological profile of Healthcare-associated Infections caused by Enterobacteria which carry Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase gene (blaKPC) in hospital environment. Method: A descriptive was conducted a private Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil, included all patients with infections Enterobacteriaceae gene. The data were collected Automated System Hospital Infection Control and analyzed statistics Epi Info 7 program. Results: Eighty-two (82) participated...
The study of water contact patterns in rural Brazil presents unique challenges due to widely dispersed settlement patterns, the ubiquity sites, and privatization resources. This addresses these by comparing two most used methods assessing behaviour: direct observation survey. results a 7‐day were compared with surveys administered 1 week after then year study. recorded rate higher than reported other investigators (3.2 contacts per person day); however, 75% for females consisted mainly...
