Introdução: Atualmente, tem-se constatado o alto número de idosos hospitalizados por COVID-19, os quais geralmente apresentam condições clínicas subjacentes, com o aumento da idade sendo associado à gravidade clínica, incluindo letalidade. Objetivo: Investigar a associação entre comorbidades e gravidade da COVID-19 em idosos. Métodos: Realizou-se uma revisão integrativa nas bases de dados Literatura Internacional em Ciências da Saúde (MEDLINE), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Centro Latino-Americano e do Caribe de Informação em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Pubmed e Web of Science, utilizando a combinação dos descritores “comorbidity“, “risk factors”, “COVID-19” e “elderly”. Foram encontrados 270 artigos no total. Destes, 31 foram pré-selecionados e, após aplicação dos critérios de elegibilidade, restaram 12 artigos, os quais compuseram esta revisão.  Resultados: Os idosos somam 20,5% dos casos graves de COVID-19. A presença de comorbidade aumenta a atividade do gene ECA2, o qual é responsável pela expressão da proteína transmembrana Enzima Conversora de Angiotensina 2 (ECA2), relacionada com a infecção celular pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2. Além disso, os estudos constataram que diagnósticos preexistentes de demência, diabetes tipo 2, hipertensão arterial, Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crônica (DPOC), doenças cardíacas e depressão em idosos são estatisticamente significativas para o desenvolvimento da forma mais grave da COVID-19 e para mortalidade dessa população. Outro ponto interessante é que a Doença Renal Crônica (DRC) contribuiu principalmente para a morte.  Conclusão: A presença de comorbidades na população idosa com COVID-19 está relacionada a maior gravidade e pior prognóstico da doença.

The Impact

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: The use of rigorous scientific methods has contributed towards developing scientific articles of excellent methodological quality. This has made it possible to promote their citation and increase the impact factor. Brazilian periodicals have had to adapt to certain quality standards demanded by these indexing organizations, such as the content and the number of original articles published in each issue. This study aimed to evaluate the methodological adequacy of two Brazilian periodicals within the field of cardiology that are indexed in several databases and freely accessible through the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), and which are now indexed by the Web of Science (Institute for Scientific Information, ISI). DESIGN AND SETTING: Descriptive study at Brazilian Cochrane Center. METHODS: All the published articles were evaluated according to merit assessment (content) and form assessment (performance). RESULTS: Ninety-six percent of the articles analyzed presented study designs that were adequate for answering the objectives. CONCLUSIONS: These two Brazilian periodicals within the field of cardiology published methodologically adequate articles, since they followed the quality standards. Thus, these periodicals can be considered both for consultation and as vehicles for publishing future articles. For further analyses, it is essential to apply other indicators of scientific activity such as bibliometrics, which evaluates quantitative aspects of the production, dissemination and use of information, and scientometrics, which is also concerned with the development of science policies, within which it is often superimposed on bibliometrics.

Background and Study Aim. The inclusion of beach volleyball in the program of the Olympic Games gave some impetus to the development of scientific research on various problems of training athletes. Most of the research results are presented in journals included in the Web of Science Core Collection. However, the publication of research results in journals from national databases remains outside the scope of this database. The aim of this study is to systematically review the scientific literature on various beach volleyball issues in Russian-language scientific resources. Material and Methods. The sources of information were the authoritative database Web of Science Core Collection, Russian Science Citation Index, Scientific Electronic Library eLIBRARY.RU (Russia), National Repositary of Academic Texts (Ukraine). Data extraction from these databases was carried out using the keywords “volleyball” / “beach”. A total of 1,875 documents were found for the keyword “volleyball”. Of these, the keyword “beach” - 273 documents. Further analysis was carried out on 273 documents. The search query results were recorded in the form of tables and a special text file, which were processed in the VOSviewer 1.6.17 program. Results. The most significant and more popular subject categories, journals, authors, articles, keywords have been identified. The relationship between keywords and individual groups of publications has been established. A method for extracting data from the Scientific Electronic Library eLIBRARY.RU in a semiautomatic mode is presented. The trends in the development of beach volleyball in various aspects of the training of elite athletes and the sports reserve, the health-improving function of beach volleyball for youth are shown. Conclusions. Differences in the content of research between Russian-language and English-language resources are a good complement to each other. This fact may contribute to solving the problems of beach volleyball and international cooperation of researchers.

Venomous Animals

<p><em>The Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins,</em> criado em 1995 no Centro de Estudos de Venenos e Animais Peçonhentos (CEVAP) da Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), São Paulo, Brasil, foi a primeira revista digital brasileira. Em 1998 foi selecionada para integrar a base SciELO (<em>Scientific Electronic Library Online</em>), e em 2003, para se tornar mais abrangente, as Doenças Tropicais foram incluídas no seu escopo. Denominou-se então <em>The Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases.</em> Em 2006 foi selecionada para integrar duas Bases internacionais estratégicas: a <em>Web of Science</em> da <em>Clarivate Analytics</em>, que publica anualmente o Fator de Impacto, e a <em>Scopus</em> da <em>Elsevier</em>, que publica o <em>Cites per Doc</em> e o <em>CiteScore</em>. Como estes índices se estabilizaram até 2012 entre 0.30 e 0.50, o Conselho Editorial decidiu estabelecer parceria com a <em>BioMed Central Springer-Nature</em>, um <em>publisher</em> comercial de acesso aberto e de renome internacional. Houve, nesta ocasião, uma reestruturação importante do periódico, incluindo a publicação em fluxo contínuo e a indexação no <em>PubMed Central</em>, com vistas à melhoria da qualidade e do aumento das métricas. Em 2018 o Fator de Impacto alcança o valor de 2.935, o <em>Cites per Doc</em> o de 2.973 e o <em>CiteScore</em> de 2.630. Em seis anos os indicadores tiveram um incremento substancial, ou seja, de 0.5 para 2.9. Tendo em vista os elevados investimentos necessários para renovação do contrato de parceria, e por tratar-se de uma publicação acadêmica e não-comercial, o corpo editorial decidiu manter o acesso aberto e tentar a sustentabilidade financeira do periódico a médio prazo, trazendo a publicação de volta ao Brasil a partir de 2019. A equipe SciELO acolheu a corajosa iniciativa e tornou-se o novo parceiro neste desafio. As estratégias adotadas na transição estão descritas em detalhes no “relato de experiência”.</p>

Main Growth

Snake envenomation is one of the neglected tropical diseases which has left an intolerable death toll and severe socioeconomic losses in Kenya. In a continued effort to identify some antiophidic East African botanical species, this study generated ethnobotanical information on antivenom plants reported in Kenya, with a view to identify potential species which could be subjected to in vitro and clinical studies for possible development into antivenoms. Data retrieved through searches done in multidisciplinary databases (Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Scientific Electronic Library Online) indicated that 54 plant species belonging to 45 genera, distributed among 27 families, are used for the management of snakebites in Kenya. Most species belonged to the family Asteraceae (11%), Malvaceae (11%), Fabaceae (9%), Annonaceae (6%), Combretaceae (6%), and Lamiaceae (6%). The main growth habit of the species is as herbs (35%), shrubs (33%), and trees (28%). Ethnomedicinal preparations used in treating snake poisons are usually from leaves (48%), roots (26%), and stem bark (8%) through decoctions, infusions, powders, and juices which are applied topically or administered orally. The most frequently encountered species were Combretum collinum, Euclea divinorum, Fuerstia africana, Grewia fallax, Microglossa pyrifolia, Solanecio mannii, and Solanum incanum. Indigenous knowledge on medicinal antivenom therapy in Kenya is humongous, and therefore studies to isolate and evaluate the antivenom compounds in the claimed plants are required to enable their confident use in antivenom therapy alongside commercial antivenin sera.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of interventions aimed at the prevention of risk factors and incidence of type 2 diabetes in the workers population. METHODS: Systematic review of interventions aimed at adult workers at risk of type 2 diabetes published in Medline, Embase, Web of Science, Central Cochrane Registry of Controlled Trials, and Lilacs. Randomized trials, quasi-experimental research and cohort studies were selected; in English, Spanish and Portuguese; published from 2000 to 2017. Intervention effectiveness was evaluated concerning the incidence of type 2 diabetes and a significant reduction in body weight, or another anthropometric or metabolic parameter. RESULTS: 3,024 articles were generated, of which 2,825 that did not answer the research question were eliminated, as well as 130 that did not evaluate original interventions, 57 carried out outside the workplace and two reviews; so that 10 selected items remained. Interventions based on structured programs previously evaluated and integrated into the workplace had a favorable impact on the reduction of body weight and other risk factors. CONCLUSIONS: The effectiveness of lifestyle interventions for the prevention of type 2 diabetes should be based on structured programs with proven effectiveness and adapted to the workplace, with employer participation in the provision of schedules and work environments.

The problem of high mortality in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, one of the most common autoimmune diseases, is still unsolved. Many studies have shown a significant impact on cardiovascular risk of both traditional and non-traditional risk factors (genetic, RA-associated etc). To improve the individual prognosis, team actions by physicians of different specialties are necessary on the basis of good awareness and patients ’ compliance. The aim of the review was to characterize the main factors involved in the formation of cardiovascular risk and give a notion about the features of its assessing in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Literature search was carried out using Scopus, Web of Science, RSCI by keywords.

Um surto do novo coronavírus (COVID-19) teve início em dezembro de 2019 e se espalhou pela China, alastrando-se pelo mundo em pouco tempo, o que requer pesquisas imediatas para seu tratamento. Assim, o uso de cloroquina (CQ) e hidroxicloroquina (HCQ) tem despertado interesse no COVID-19. Esta revisão sistemática segue os itens de relatório indicados para revisões sistemáticas e Diretrizes de Meta-Análise (PRISMA). Os descritores selecionados foram: “SARS-CoV-2”, “COVID-19”, “Hydroxychloroquine” e “Chloroquine” e incluídos nas bases de dados Science Direct, United States National Library of Medicine (PubMed), informações bibliográficas latino-americanas em saúde ciências (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) e Web of Science para busca de estudos. Após a triagem, um total de 6.339 estudos foram encontrados. Após a leitura e aplicação dos critérios de elegibilidade, foram selecionados 8 artigos para elaboração dos resultados desta revisão. Os resultados dos estudos mostraram que o uso de HCQ apresenta desfechos sem melhora significativa do quadro clínico, incluindo associação com eventos adversos (inclusive graves) em pacientes com COVID-19. Assim, os ensaios clínicos randomizados não forneceram evidências de eficácia da HCQ em pacientes com COVID-19, mostrando que a HCQ não é significativamente eficaz e apresenta resultados negativos em relação à sua segurança para pacientes com COVID-19.
