Methods: Curcumin and methylene blue were photosensitized by a Photon Lase III laser applied for 90 s in a dark environment within a laminar flow chamber. Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans strains were cultured and standardized. Then, a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay was conducted for these photosensitizers, with concentration variations and incubation to evaluate their antimicrobial activity. Results: With PDT, Curcumin had significant antibacterial activity against E. faecalis (MIC = 250 µg/mL). In contrast, methylene blue had antibacterial activity against E. faecalis (MIC < 12.5 µg/mL with PDT) and antifungal activity against C. albicans (MIC <12.5 µg/mL with or without PDT). Both agents showed greater efficacy in the presence of the laser. The results suggest that curcumin and methylene blue associated with laser may effectively treat microbial infections. Conclusion: Further research is needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using these agents in animal and human models and their effectiveness against different bacterial and fungal strains.","PeriodicalId":255396,"journal":{"name":"REVISTA CIÊNCIAS EM SAÚDE","volume":"4 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139151734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: An ecological, longitudinal, retrospective, and quantitative study was conducted using data from the Ambulatory Information System (SIA/SUS). The number of skin smear microscopies for leprosy per 100,000 residents was estimated for Brazil and its five macroregions, between 2013 and 2022, with a significance level (a) of 5%. Results: More than 1.3 million skin smear microscopies were reported in the last decade in the SUS. The median annual incidence was 67 skin smear microscopies for leprosy per 100,000 residents, with the maximum observed in 2013 (82) and the minimum in 2022 (46). Annual incidences in the North, Central-West, and Northeast macro-regions were significantly higher than the national estimate, whereas in the South and Southeast, they were lower (p <0.05). The temporal trend was considered decreasing for the national estimate (p = 0.002), with an annual percentage variation of -5.6% (95%CI = -3.8%; -8.2%). However, after disregarding the years of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2022), the trend became stationary (p = 0.181). Furthermore, the incidence during the pre-pandemic period was significantly higher compared with the third year after the advent of the pandemic in all macro-regions of Brazil (p <0.05). Conclusion: It was possible to conclude that the SUS performed a significant number of skin smear microscopies for leprosy in the last ten years, but there are macro-regional disparities in Brazil and a significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":255396,"journal":{"name":"REVISTA CIÊNCIAS EM SAÚDE","volume":"9 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139151530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on the medical records of 54 outpatients with coronary artery disease in a public hospital. The prescribed intensity started at 50%–60% of the heart rate reserve, increasing monthly to 70%–80% by the third month. Spearman’s test was used to assess the correlation between improvement in distance in the incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT), exercise intensity, and rating of perceived exertion (Borg–RPE). Adherence was classified as ‘below’ when HRTZ was not achieved in any phase of the program, ‘intermediate’ when HR was within the HRTZ for one or two months, and ‘above’ when HR was at or higher than HRTZ ≥ two months. Improvement was tested using t-test and one-way ANOVA. Results: 51.9% of participants had an increase in ISWT of ≥70 m (p < 0.0001). In at least one month, 50.9% trained below HRTZ. The trained intensity did not fall below 8.6% of the prescribed HRTZ minimum threshold. Changes in ISWT were not significantly correlated with exercise intensity (p = 0.87) or Borg–RPE (p = 0.16). Conclusion: While a significant increase in functional capacity was found, considerable heterogeneity in changes were observed. This may, in part, be related to adherence to HRTZ with progressive exercise intensity and to the variability in exercise volume in cardiovascular rehabilitation programs.","PeriodicalId":255396,"journal":{"name":"REVISTA CIÊNCIAS EM SAÚDE","volume":"88 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139154879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sample consisted of 10 women with cancer assisted by a support association for cancer patients in João Pessoa/PB, selected by non-probabilistic convenience sampling. To collect data, a sociodemographic and health questionnaire was used, as well as a semi-structured interview based on the life history method. Sociodemographic data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage), and data from the interview were analyzed using the Thematic Content Analysis technique proposed by Bardin. The average age of the women was 61.8 years. Four categories and 12 subcategories emerged. Results: the diagnosis of cancer caused negative impacts on the lives of patients and their families. Having a support network is an essential coping strategy used by patients due to the suffering caused by cancer. Conclusion: The importance of strategies for coping with the suffering of cancer patients was highlighted, especially concerning the support network, this being the most prominent category among all those found.","PeriodicalId":255396,"journal":{"name":"REVISTA CIÊNCIAS EM SAÚDE","volume":"19 5part2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139157431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the most vulnerable groups, the elderly population with comorbidities had the greatest challenge to their physical, social, andmental health. The lockdown imposed by health authorities aimed at slowing the spread of the virus had a large drawback in terms of the level of physical activity, risk factors, frailty, and falls risk in the elderly. Furthermore, several health issues were exacerbated, including higher levels of obesity, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular diseases, sleep problems, and depression. A decrease in the level of physical activity was observed following quarantine, and this trend prevailed even a year after the early stages of the pandemic. A large populational study in individuals more than 65 years old showed that during the early years of the pandemic, nearly 30% of them experienced an impairment in exercise levels, which was significantly related to detriments in quality of life, and this trend prevailed even a year after the early stages of the pandemic. Given this post-pandemic scenario, it is essential that we redefine strategies to improve the quality of life of these demographics.","PeriodicalId":255396,"journal":{"name":"REVISTA CIÊNCIAS EM SAÚDE","volume":"71 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139154965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
