94 children and 25 adolescents, 42% male and 58% female, aged predominantly between six and ten years old (40%) were studied at the Martagão Gesteira Childcare and Pediatrics Institute (Rio de Janeiro Federal University) between 2005 and 2011. The prevalent clinical form of vitiligo was the generalized type (34%). Although the clinical response was similar between the treatment modalities, we decided for low and high power topical steroids in our routine. Halo nevi were found in seven (5.9%) cases. Thirty (25%) patients underwent specialized evaluation and 18 (60%) reported some relevant psychological situation.

This project has as an objective the analysis of the epidemiological profile of the cases of meningitis in the southeastern of Brazil, comparingetiologies, age group and evolution. The study has an epidemiological profile where confirmed cases were selected between 2010-2019. The approach was quantitative through research on the DATASUS platform, in the field of Diseases and Notifiable Diseases - SINAN. There’s a predominance of deaths due to Other Bacteria, the same being predominant in the age group of 40-59 and less in 80 year olds or more. In addition, it’s noticed less occurrence of Haemophilus Meningitis with a predilection for infants. In Espirito Santo, there’s a higher incidence of deaths from, mainly affecting the age group of 20-39 year olds, which accounts for 20% of the cases. In Rio de Janeiro, there’s a predominance of Other Bacterias, which corresponds to 20.7% of the total cases, in those aged 20-39 years. In São Paulo, there’s a supremacy of Viral with 59% of total cases, affecting mainly children, with emphasis on 1-4 year olds, having a good clinical evolution, however, corresponds to 7% of the total deaths. If untreated, the morbimortality is profound, it’s important to recognize the epidemiological profile of the pathology so that the approach to patients who present it, is the most targeted and effective as possible. Data analysis showed that Other Bacterias Meningitis is the main cause of death, therefore, epidemiology is associated with severity and lethality.

AimsTo systematically review Psychological and Behavioural treatments on NES in children and adolescents by reviewing the current literature.BackgroundNon-epileptic seizures (NES) are associated with a high level of functional impairment for young people and their families. However, there are no UK guidelines for the management of NES in children and adolescents or adults. Though information from the limited studies in adults may be useful, the findings may not be generalizable to children and adolescents. To date, we are unaware of any published systematic review on this topic in children and adolescents.MethodA systematic search of relevant electronic databases was conducted. Any study investigating the effectiveness of psychological and behavioural treatments on NES, in Children and Adolescents was included.ResultFifteen studies were identified, but only six studies had the primary aim of evaluating an intervention, and only one used a control group. The rest were observational studies that examined retrospective case notes.CBT and psychoeducation were identified as the most common interventions. Eleven out of the fifteen studies used multiple treatments, four looked at one treatment only, three of these CBT and one was a natural history study.Where individual therapy was provided, a common focus was management of anxiety, usually delivered in a flexible way, adapted to individual needs. Despite being identified as important in the literature, only one study demonstrated care that involved collaboration between physical and mental health teams.ConclusionIt's difficult to conclude from this review that one treatment approach is superior to another. The findings of this review offer some insight into current practise and may help to inform future research in this area. CBT and psychoeducation with a focus on anxiety are frequently included in interventions for NES in young people, and further evaluation of these treatment modalities could be a helpful next step.

ABSTRACT Objective: to map the epidemiological profile of children and adolescents with COVID-19 in the world literature. Methods: a scoping review systematized by the Joanna Briggs Institute protocol in the PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, Science direct and Google Scholar databases. Articles with children and/or adolescents with laboratory diagnosis of COVID-19 were used. Results: thirty-two articles were included in the review. Most children and adolescents were male, with contamination by family transmission. The most frequent clinical manifestations were fever, cough and diarrhea. Ten studies cited pre-existing condition/disease, and hospital length ranged from one to twenty days. Three deaths were reported and no study presented race/color, education and socioeconomic conditions. Conclusion: it was possible to screen the epidemiological profile with information about age group, sex, probable contamination of the disease, clinical manifestations, presence of pre-existing disease/condition, hospitalization and deaths among children and adolescents with COVID-19.

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the epidemiological profile of farmworkers exposed to pesticides in the city of Casimiro de Abreu, Rio de Janeiro State. Method: cross-sectional study, conducted through a questionnaire. The collected data were typed in spreadsheet and processed in the R software. Results: the predominance of female participants, between 40 and 60 years old, married, with some elementary education was observed. Furthermore, the family labor and the production for their own consumption and trade prevail. Herbicide is the most widely used pesticide. Most informants present poisoning symptoms, as they do not use Personal Protective Equipment nor sunscreen. Breast cancer is the most frequent in families; among the participants, 31% had hypertension and 6.4% diabetes. Conclusion: a population vulnerable to environmental and occupational risks, specially the middle-aged group and women, sets up a profile marked by regional differences.

Purpose: To find out the epidemiologic features in 686 consecutive cases of fungal keratitis presenting in a tertiary eye hospital in the western region of Nepal. Materials and methods: A prospective hospital - based study was carried out on 1880 consecutive patients presenting with corneal ulcer in the outpatient department and cornea clinic of Lumbini Eye Institute, Bhairawa, Nepal. The socio-demographic data, predisposing risk factors, prior treatment modalities, laboratory results and the distribution pattern of fungus species were analyzed. Results: Diagnosis of fungus keratitis was established in 686 (36 %) out of the total study group of 1880 cases. The spectrum of fungi isolated were Fusarium species (Fusarium spp.) in 219 (31.9 %), followed by unidentified dematiaceous 151 (22 %), curvularia 122 (17.7 %) and unidentified hyaline in 111 cases (16.1 %). Men (59.3 %) were more commonly affected than women (40.6 %). The young adults age group of 31-40 years was most commonly involved (26.6 %). Corneal trauma (58 %) and topical steroids (12 %) were the most common predisposing risk factors noted. Conclusion: In contrast to the other studies done in Nepal, we found Fusarium to be the most common fungal isolate causing corneal ulcer followed by unidentified dematiaceous, unidentified hyaline and curvularia. Corneal trauma was the commonest predisposing risk factor in causing fungal keratitis.
