ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the intake of antioxidant nutrients by pregnant women being cared for in the Brazilian public health system and associated factors. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out with pregnant women cared for in the public health system in the city of Maceió, Brazil, in 2014, including 385 pregnant women and their newborns, and the collection of maternal information (socioeconomic, personal, prenatal, dietary and anthropometric data), and after the babies’ birth (gestational age, birth weight and length). Food intake was assessed by two 24-hour dietary reminders per pregnant woman with subsequent adjustments by the Estimated Average Requirement method. Data were processed and Pearson’s correlation was used to evaluate associations, considering p<0.05 as significant. Results A total of 388 pregnant women with a mean age of 24.06±5.92 years were studied, with inadequate intake and high variation of the following antioxidants: vitamin A (83.2%/62.7%), vitamin C (50.5%/75.7%), vitamin E (76.5%/60.2%), Selenium (60.8%/50.3%), Copper (98.5%/42.8%) and Zinc (79.6%/43.4%), respectively. Additionally, the following associations were observed: the intake of vitamin A (p=0.02), Copper (p=0.01), and Selenium (p=0.01) with the maternal Body Mass Index; the intake of vitamin A (0.04) and Selenium (p=0.02) with the birth weight; and between vitamin A (p=0.04) with the birth length. Conclusion The low intake of antioxidant nutrients by pregnant women is a reality, being associated to the maternal Body Mass Index and the birth weight and length of the newborn.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to assess the sexual function of pregnant women and the influence of sociodemographic, obstetric, and behavioral factors on sexual dysfunction. Methods: cross-sectional study conducted with 141 pregnant women attended by the Single Health System and 120 by one private service, totaling 261 participants. A questionnaire containing sociodemographic, obstetric, and behavioral variables was applied, as well as the Female Sexual Function Index instrument, which was used to assess sexual function. Associations between variables and sexual dysfunction were made using the chi-square test, considering a statistically significant result when p < 0.05. Results: among the participants, 32.1% had sexual dysfunction, and the variables “age”, “income” and “type of health service” had an influence on sexual dysfunction. The prevalence of pregnant women was between 21 and 30 years old (p < 0.001), with an income between 1 and 2 minimum wages (p = 0.048) and used the public health system network (p = 0.000). Conclusions: the factors associated with sexual dysfunction are “young pregnant women”, “low income” and “attended in the public health service”.

Abstract Introduction: The hypothyroidism during pregnancy can lead to alterations in fetal neurological formation and has metabolic impact on pregnant women. If not diagnosed and treated it can cause complications during pregnancy and childbirth, besides causing changes in fetal formation. The TSH test is not part of routine examinations of the pregnancy monitoring care in Brazilian public health system (SUS). The test is not requested in low-risk pregnant women like those at high risk. The Overt Hypothyroidism (no subclinical) is prevalent in 0.3% to 0.5% of pregnant women and is asymptomatic in 70% of these patients. Thus, in order to avoid risks to the mother and fetus health due absence of early diagnosis, it would be ideal for pregnancy monitoring care examinations in the public health system to request a TSH test, especially in high-risk pregnancies. Method: A cross-sectional observational study was approved by the Ethics Committee (CAAE 22906619.2.0000.0062) to review 83 medical records of high-risk pregnant women in a Brazilian public hospital, State of São Paulo, Brazil in 2020. Inclusion criteria: All patients who are being followed up in high-risk childbirth or are hospitalized in the high-risk sector on the maternity during the year 2020. Complete medical records containing the data proposed to be researched and results of exams to be analyzed in the research. Results: The study included the review of 83 medical records of high-risk pregnant women with average age of 30 years old, average gestational age of 31 weeks and average weight of 84 kg. From these 11.4% (n = 10) declared that they had hypothyroidism and 2.4% (n = 2) hyperthyroidism in the first consultation. The 47% (n = 39) had their TSH measured during pregnancy, of which TSH had changed 30.8% (n = 12), 5.1% (n = 2) with suppressed TSH and 25.6% (n = 10) with TSH above the limit for pregnancy. Of the pregnant women who had a diagnosis prior to the pregnancy of hypothyroidism, only 1 did not have their TSH collected during pregnancy. Of the pregnant women who had hyperthyroidism, all had TSH collected during pregnancy, but kept TSH suppressed and free T4 at the upper limit throughout the pregnancy. 10% (n = 8) had gestational bleeding, of which only 25% (n = 2) had TSH measured at some point during pregnancy, of these, one had an altered TSH, but no medication was prescribed or the test repeated. Conclusion: Recognizing that the evolution of pregnancy depends on the normal thyroid eixo, we believe that for high-risk pregnant women they should have their thyroid eixo evaluated in the first trimester.

Prevalence Of Depression

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of depression and correlate clinical and demographic characteristics in pregnant women assisted by the public health system in the city of Pelotas, RS, Brazil. METHOD: We performed a cross-sectional study focused on pregnant women assisted by the public health service. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was used to screen for depression. RESULTS: In a sample of 1,264 pregnant women aged 12-46 years, 21.1% (n = 255) presented a depressive episode during pregnancy. The presence of depression was associated with older age, lower education, lack of a cohabiting partner, not being primiparous, planned pregnancy, abortion thoughts, psychological or psychiatric treatment, smoking and alcohol consumption during pregnancy, and stressful events. CONCLUSION: Pregnant women assisted by the Brazilian public health system presented a high prevalence of depression. Psychiatric history, lack of support, and stressful events increase the probability of antenatal depression.

What does innovation mean to and in India? What are the predominant areas of innovation for India, and under what situations do they succeed or fail? This book addresses these all-important questions arising within diverse Indian contexts: informal economy, low-cost settings, large business groups, entertainment and copyright-based industries, an evolving pharma sector, a poorly organized and appallingly underfunded public health system, social enterprises for the urban poor, and innovations for the millions. It explores the issues that promote and those that hinder the country’s rise as an innovation leader. The book’s balanced perspective on India’s promises and failings makes it a valuable addition for those who believe that India’s future banks heavily on its ability to leapfrog using innovation, as well as those sceptical of the Indian state’s belief in the potential of private enterprise and innovation. It also provides critical insights on innovation in general, the most important of which being the highly context-specific, context-driven character of the innovation project.
