Futsal is one of the sports that has been gaining in number of practitioners worldwide. Among the groups in which the practice has grown in recent decades, women stand out. Thus, the objective of this review is to offer a vision of the most recent scientific publications in relation to the presence of women in futsal. For this, a systematic review was carried out from 2015 to 2020, searching with the terms of the UNESCO Thesaurus: “futsal” and “woman” in the Scopus and Dialnet databases, allowing the selection of original articles (experimental, descriptive, quasi -experimental and / or case studies) that included information on this line of research. A total of 381 articles were found, although after applying the inclusion criteria of the review they were reduced to 27 articles. These publications were divided into three main categories: 1) Research related to conditioning factors of training and competition in women, 2) Research related to injuries and other psychological variables in women and 3) Other topics investigated; doing a discussion about each of these categories. In conclusion, this systematic review makes it possible to quickly and easily observe the analysis of women’s futsal research within the international context in recent years, as well as to identify the most relevant scientific issues today. Thus, there is a scarce number of publications on the presence of women in futsal in all the topics of study, and therefore, it is necessary to cover with greater scientific contribution given the great boom, extension and popularity that has been acquiring the figure of the woman in this sport.

ABSTRACT The objective of this review was to analyze the evidence of Pilates in physical fitness related to health in the elderly. The article indexing databases (Pubmed, Medline, Science Direct, Scielo, Lilacs, and Cochrane) were reviewed along with the Pilates, elderly and aging descriptors. A total of 41 studies with a randomized experimental and quasi-experimental design met the inclusion criteria. The selection of the studies was carried out by two researchers and the quality of the articles was assessed using the PEDro scale. Interventions ranged from 4-24 weeks with 1-3 sessions/week, and balance was the most investigated variable. The studies included in this review indicate that Pilates improves health status in the elderly, promoting gains in balance, muscle strength, flexibility, functional autonomy, muscular endurance, body composition and aerobic endurance. Despite these findings, some variables need to be further investigated. Level of Evidence II; Systematic review.

Abstract The influence of registries in medicine is large. However, there has been no systematic assessment conducted to quantify the impact of benchmarking with registries focused on cardiothoracic surgery. Numerous publications conclude that registry participation leads to improvement of outcomes for patients. A large number of registries provide evidence sub-structured by statistics that show decreases in morbidity and mortality in the participants’ clinical units. Many authors praise the benchmarking method making use of databases of registries as having a positive effect on outcome of care. However, studies proving the direct causal relation between the use of cardiothoracic surgery-oriented registries and improvement of clinical in-hospital outcomes are extremely scarce. We aimed to analyse the causal relation between the use of cardiothoracic surgery-oriented registries and improvement of clinical outcomes. In a systematic literature review, publications demonstrating the use of registry data to obtain consolidated quality improvements were selected. After analysis of 2990 scientific publications, 6 studies filled the inclusion criteria. The selected studies acknowledged that benchmarking of data against registries was used for a focused and methodologically organized improvement in cardiothoracic departments. In conjunction with the impact of the applied methods on healthcare, their results demonstrate quantifiable enhanced local outcomes over time.

<p><strong>CONTEXT: </strong>Activity of daily living (ADL) is an important predictor of mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Increasing ADL is important in patients with COPD and assessment of ADL is one of the best ways to evaluate the status of COPD patients.</p> <p><strong>OBJECTIVES: </strong>The objective of this systematic review was to provide an overview of the psychometric properties of paper and pencil instruments measuring ADL in patients with COPD.</p> <p><strong>DATA SOURCES:</strong> English papers published from 1980 to 2014 regarding ADL in patients with COPD were searched in  Web of Science, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Cochrane, PubMed, ProQuest, and CINAHL databases using the following keywords: “COPD”, “ADL”, “activities of daily living”, “daily activities”, “instrument”, “questionnaire”, “paper-and-pencil instruments”, and “measure”. Following the Internet search, manual search was also done to find article references.</p> <p><strong>STUDY SELECTION:</strong> A total of 186 articles were found. Of those, 31 met the inclusion criteria. Full texts of articles meeting the inclusion criteria were studied. Consensus-based standards for the selection of health measurement instruments<strong>"</strong>(COSMIN) were used to assess the quality of the studies.</p> <p><strong>DATA EXTRACTION:</strong> Data extraction form based on research aims developed by researchers and<strong> </strong>psychometric experts, with 17 questions was used.</p> <p><strong>RESULTS: </strong>In these articles, 14 pen and paper instruments were identified for examining ADL in patients with COPD; of which, 4 dealt directly with ADL while 9 assessed other criteria i.e. dyspnea as ADL indicator. The majority of instruments only dealt with two main dimensions of ADL: Basic Activities of Daily Living (BADL) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), and did not consider Advanced Activities of Daily Living (AADL), which is influenced by cultural and motivational factors.</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> Despite several ADL instruments identified, complete psychometric processes have only been done in a few of them. Selection of the appropriate instrument should focus on the aim of the study and the target construct.</p>

Smart Cities belong to a multidisciplinary research area, which does not yet have a formal definition and may have different meanings depending on the context. In view of this, the objective of this work is to map the term "Smart City" in the scientific field. For such, the scientific publications present in Scopus' data base, accessed by the Periodicals portal of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Level Personnel (CAPES), were researched. As results, 61,435 publications were found, which after the inclusion criteria, 632 publications remained to be analyzed. China was the country that presented the largest number of publications with a total of 94 documents. The analysis of annual publications showed that there was an increase in the number of publications over the years, especially between 2018 and 2019. The main contributions of this work were the provision of a knowledge base that can be used by both scientists and researchers and developers of the organizations, identifying gaps and opportunities to be explored.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE To present scientific evidence based on a systematic literature review (PRISMA) evaluating the association of Kawasaki Disease (DK) and COVID-19 in children. METHODS For the selection of studies, a combination based on the Medical Subject Heading Terms (MeSH) was used. The Medline (Pubmed), LILACS, SciELO, COCHRANE, and BIREME databases were used. The search period for the articles comprised the last 10 years (2010 to 2020). RESULTS 840 articles with potential for inclusion were retrieved, one of which met the inclusion criteria and the guiding question that consisted of evaluating the association of Kawasaki disease and COVID-19 in children. CONCLUSION A significant increase in the incidence of Kawasaki-type diseases after the onset of the epidemic has been reported, suggesting an association between the COVID-19 epidemic and the high incidence of a severe form of KD. However, further studies are needed to conduct an investigation of the association between these two diseases.

People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are very sedentary and this contributes to their health problems. The aim of this systematic review was to examine the effects of interventions designed to increase physical activity (PA) in people with COPD. Studies were included when PA was the primary outcome and measured objectively. Six databases were searched and 15 studies with a total of 761 subjects were identified that met inclusion criteria. Nine of the studies were quasi-experimental (QE) and six were randomized controlled trials (RCT). Interventions included pulmonary rehabilitation (

We conducted a systematic review of 15 relevant databases for articles about telemedicine. After eliminating articles that did not meet the inclusion criteria, 1615 remained for analysis. Three raters coded the articles to assess various theoretical and methodological variables. Only 5% ( n = 85) of the telemedicine articles made mention of any theory or paradigmatic approach. Studies commonly reported the objectives (96%) but rarely stated a research question or hypothesis (11%). Randomized selection of the subjects was reported in 11% of patient studies and 4% of studies where providers were the subject. There was a wide range in the number of subjects employed, although the majority of studies were based on sample sizes of less than 100. Only 26% of the studies reported a time frame. Until the telemedicine field adheres to agreed standards of reporting methodological details it will be difficult to draw firm conclusions from review studies.

Objective: To provide a tool to assist health professionals in the medical clinic regarding treatments still under study to combat COVID-19 and serve as a basis for future studies. Methods: For the development of this systematic review, research was carried out on the Embase, Pubmed databases and on the website clinicaltrials.gov, with the following inclusion criteria: selection of clinical trials carried out in adults, randomized or not, who addressed the discussion on the treatment or development of vaccines for COVID-19. Of the articles found, 22 studies were selected and those with a different methodological design were excluded. Results: The studies cover clinical trials that are divided into double or triple blind and present a low risk of bias. Among the tested interventions, Hydroxychloroquine and antivirals are the drugs that show the most promise in controlling the disease. The final results, however, are not yet available, as studies are ongoing. Final considerations: There is still no scientific evidence to recommend the use of any of the tested drugs, making it necessary to continue and maintain ongoing studies.

Tracheostomy Tubes

Abstract BACKGROUND. Currently, health professionals face the management of artificial airways in paediatric groups. This action requires delicate care and a lot of attention to detect, establish and manage pressing situations, in these cases being a greater risk of tracheo-pulmonary bacterial infections. OBJECTIVE. To identify and evaluate the scientific publications on infections in paediatric patients with tracheostomy tubes. MATERIAL AND METHODS. A systematic review of the years 2015-2020 was carried out, using the Elsevier, PubMed, Google Academic and Scielo databases, considering the population aged between 0-20 years who used a tracheostomy tube. RESULTS. From 322 articles distributed in the databases, 13 articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected. Comorbidities that were described as most frequently associated with infection of the tracheostomy tube in children were: neuromuscular disease, prematurity, ventilator use, congenital anomalies, chronic lung disease, obstruction airway, cystic fibrosis, and heart disease. The factors associated with length of stay (LOS) were the age from 30 days to 12 months, with a greater probability of re-entering the hospital and the presence of 4 or more complex chronic diseases. Regarding respiratory infections in patients with tracheostomy, P. aeruginosa was the most frequent bacteria present in cultures (90%), followed by Staphylococcus aureus. CONCLUSION. Although there are currently clinical criteria, risk factors and laboratory tests associated with infections of the post-tracheostomy tube in paediatric patients, further research is required to define clinical guidelines for the management in medical decision-making cases.
