RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) has emerged as a therapeutic option for surgical myectomy and alcohol septal ablation (ASA) in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), but its efficacy remains unclear. AIM: Due to limited research on RFCA for HCM, there is an ongoing attempt to assess its efficacy and safety. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, and Scopus were systematically searched for studies assessing the efficacy outcomes for patients with HOCM who underwent RFCA. Mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed using a random-effects model and heterogeneity was assessed using I2 statistics. RESULTS: We included 11 studies comprising 470 patients, of whom 34.6% were female. The mean patient age ranged from 43.7 to 60.7 years. During the follow-up after RFCA, there was a significant decrease in the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradient at rest (MD -60.25 mmHg; 95% CI [-70.53;-59.14 mmHg]; p < 0.01) and during stimulation (MD -83.56 mmHg; 95% CI [-100.36;-66.76 mmHg]; p < 0.01). Moreover, RFCA reduced interventricular septum (IVS) thickness (MD -3.61 mm; 95% CI [-5.64; -1.59 mm]; p = 0.01) and New York Heart Association (NYHA) class (MD -1.46; 95% CI [-1.69; -1.24]; p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with HOCM, RFCA was associated with an improved NYHA class, reduced IVS thickness, and decreased LVOT gradient at rest and with stimulation.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: to analyze the implications of precarious work for the organization of work and for the health of nursing professionals in a surgical center. METHODS: qualitative, descriptive study in which the interview technique was applied on 30 nursing professionals from a surgical center in a university hospital located in the Southeast region of Brazil. The project was approved by the research ethics committee. Thematic content analysis was applied in the categorization of speeches. RESULTS: precarious work in the surgical center negatively affects the organization of work due to staff turnover, loss of skilled talent, and the need for continuous training of temporary workers. It also affects the quality of care, leading to risks to patient safety and workers' health.Final Considerations: it is important to make work conditions less precarious in order to minimize staff turnover and promote the quality of the service offered and the health of the worker.

OBJECTIVE: Few population-based studies for Takayasu arteritis (TAK) have been performed, and Latin America prevalence/incidence data are unavailable. We aimed to understand TAK epidemiology in Rio de Janeiro City in 2020 (i.e., 6,747,815 inhabitants). METHODS: This was a cross-sectional fieldwork study where physicians who regularly followed TAK patients in public or private practices from Rio de Janeiro were invited to complete a REDCap survey. Patients should fulfill internationally accepted criteria for TAK and be living in the city. The 2020 prevalence was calculated as cases per 1,000,000 inhabitants (10 6 ). National government databases were analyzed for comparative prevalence assessment. The incidence rate was estimated using retrospective sections of cases diagnosed between 2010 and 2019; relative incidence risk was assessed by Poisson regression models with robust variance. RESULTS: Between May 2020 and May 2021, 114 patients were analyzed. Ninety-seven (85.1%) were female, and the most frequent races were White (44.7%), Mestizo (33.3%), and Black (16.7%). Takayasu arteritis 2020 prevalence was 16.9 cases/10 6 (95% confidence interval [CI], 14.1-20.3 cases/10 6 ); female patients and Black Brazilians had higher prevalence rates at 27.0 (95% CI, 22.2-33.3) and 25.1 cases/10 6 (95% CI, 16.1-39.3 cases/10 6 ), respectively. Government databases' analyses generated a lower prevalence (7.26 cases/10 6 ; 95% CI, 5.49-9.60 cases/10 6 ). The 2010-2019 mean incidence rate was 0.94 cases/10 6 per year (95% CI, 0.73-1.21 cases/10 6 ). Female patients had a higher risk than male patients of having TAK between 2010 and 2019 (relative risk, 2.70; 95% CI, 1.59-4.55; p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: In the largest population-based fieldwork to date and the first Latin American study on TAK prevalence, Rio de Janeiro City in 2020 showed an intermediate prevalence between Europe and Asia. Female patients and Black Brazilians were more affected than the general population.

RESUMO
ABSTRACT Introduction: Time series studies related to blood donor candidates and blood donations are rare in Brazil. Population aging suggests a better understanding of the context related to blood donor candidates and blood donations performed. Objective: The monthly series of candidates eligible to donate blood and actual donations between 2005 and 2019 at the Hemominas Foundation, Minas Gerais, Brazil, were described and analyzed. Methods: Ten time series were constructed of blood donor candidates and blood donations. Each series covered the period from January 2005 to December 2019. The stationarity of the series was verified by the unit root test; the data distribution, by the Shapiro-Wilk test; the trend, by the Cox-Stuart test, and; the seasonality, by the Fisher's test (significance levels of 10% for the first test and 5% for the last three). Results: All series were identified as non-stationary and presented trend and seasonality components. The rate of blood donor candidates and the rate of blood donations performed evidenced a positive upward trend until the last two-year analysis, when a drop occurred, from 1.75% and 1.42% in 2017 to 1.64% and 1.35% in 2019, respectively. The rate of blood donations trended downward, from 0.054% in 2005 to 0.046% in 2019. The proportion of unsuitable or unretained candidates reduced. Conclusion: The study emphasized the need to stimulate blood donation by specific groups and increase ways to reduce the demand for blood components through the implementation of programs that expand alternatives to blood transfusions.

RESUMO
ABSTRACT Introduction: A retrospective ecological longitudinal study was carried out with data on blood components use from two private hospital units that belong to the same organization located in Belo Horizonte between July 2017 and June 2019. Objectives: To describe the monthly series of red blood cells, platelets and plasma use and the rate of blood components use for general hospitalizations in the health network, from the perspective of time series. Methods: A total of 15 time series were created with monthly data related to the use of blood components. The stationarity of the series was verified by the unit root test, the trend, by the Cox-Stuart test and seasonality, by the Fisher test (significance levels of 10% for the first test and 5% for the last two). Results: All series tested positive for the trend component and showed an increasing trend for the use of blood components. Ten series showed statistically significant seasonality and eight series were identified as non-stationary. The percentage of transfusions of blood components due to hospitalization at hospitals 1 and 2 was 29% (22% at hospital 1 and 38.9% at hospital 2). Conclusion: This study was able to describe the components of blood components use dynamics, from the perspective of time series at hospitals. Due to the growing trend in demand for blood components and their high cost, we propose the reduction of blood components use and the expanded use of alternative blood transfusion strategies.

Objetivo: analisar as vivências de sofrimento e as estratégias de defesa referidas por técnicas de enfermagem em maternidades públicas. Método: pesquisa qualitativa, exploratória e descritiva, com 11 técnicas de enfermagem de maternidades públicas do Rio de Janeiro. Os dados foram coletados em maio de 2019, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, submetidos à análise de conteúdo temática e discutidos à luz da Psicodinâmica do Trabalho. Resultados: os relatos apontam para condições laborais geradoras de desgaste e sofrimento, que repercutem na saúde das participantes. Diante disso, elas elaboram estratégias defensivas individuais, como isolamento emocional, soluções criativas, espiritualidade, religiosidade e momentos de lazer. Na perspectiva coletiva, recorrem a períodos de conversa e ao apoio mútuo no turno laboral. Conclusão: as estratégias defensivas referidas são relevantes para lidar com o sofrimento e atender às demandas do trabalho, mas parecem não evitar o adoecimento nem promover mudanças no contexto laboral das maternidades.
Objective: to examine experiences of distress and related defensive strategies reported by nursing technicians at public maternity hospitals. Method: in this exploratory, qualitative, descriptive study of 11 nursing technicians from public maternity hospitals in Rio de Janeiro, data were collected in May 2019 by semi-structured interviews, subjected to thematic content analysis, and discussed in the light of the Psychodynamics of Work. Results: the reports point to wearing and distressing working conditions, which affected participants' health. In response, they developed individual defensive strategies, such as emotional isolation, creative solutions, spirituality, religiosity, and moments of leisure. Collectively, they resort to periods of conversation and mutual support during shifts. Conclusion: the defensive strategies reported are important in coping with suffering and meeting work demands, but they do not seem to prevent illness nor promote changes in the maternity hospital work environment.

RESUMO
Objective The present study aimed to correlate electroneuromyography (ENMG) findings in diabetic and nondiabetic subjects with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Methods In total, 154 patients were evaluated in a hand surgery outpatient clinic. All ENMG tests were bilaterally performed by a single neurologist. Qualitative variables were described for all patients with CTS according to their diabetic status, and the chi-squared test was used to reveal any association. A joint model was adjusted to determine the influence of diabetes on ENMG severity in CTS patients. Results The sample consisted of 117 women and 37 men, with an average age of 56.9 years old. Electroneuromyography demonstrated bilateral CTS in 82.5% of the patients. Diabetes was identified in 21.4% of the cases. Severe ENMG was prevalent. Conclusion There was no association between diabetes and ENMG severity in patients with CTS. Level of evidence IV, case series.

OBJECTIVES: to understand the working conditions and strategies adopted by nurse-midwives in maternity hospitals. METHODS: a qualitative, descriptive, exploratory study with 20 nurse-midwives from public maternity hospitals in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Data were collected from June to September 2018 through semi-structured interviews, submitted to thematic content analysis and discussed in the light of the psychodynamics of work. RESULTS: working conditions are inadequate due to poor infrastructure and resource deficit. Therefore, they develop defensive strategies to mitigate suffering, avoid destabilization of professional identity and minimize losses on care, through material purchase, lunch hour abdication, task reorganization and break implementation. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the strategies adopted hide work precariousness and suggest alienation of workers, evidencing the need to foster political awareness of this collective to promote concrete transformations in their work reality.

Objective To verify whether there is an association between the results of the severity in electroneuromyography and the positivity in ultrasound in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome. Methods Sixty-eight patients were included in the study, 61 women and 7 men, with a mean age of 54.4 years. The ultrasound results (positive or negative) were crossed with the results of electroneuromyography (mild, moderate or severe), and the existence of association was verified. Results One hundred and thirty-six hands with suspicion or symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome were evaluated. Positive ultrasound diagnosis was observed in 72 hands and negative in 64; 123 hands presented positive electroneuromyography for carpal tunnel syndrome, and there were 13 negative results. The severe degree in electroneuromyography was prevalent. Conclusion There was a statistically significant association between electroneuromyography and ultrasonography ( p < 0.05), and ultrasound positivity was higher for more severe levels of carpal tunnel syndrome given by electroneuromyography.

Resultados: as condições laborais são inadequadas pela infraestrutura precária e pelo déficit de recursos. Diante disso, elaboram-se estratégias defensivas para mitigar o sofrimento, evitar a desestabilização da identidade profissional e minimizar os prejuízos sobre o cuidado, através da compra de materiais, abdicação do horário de almoço, reorganização das tarefas e implementação de pausas. Considerações Finais: as estratégias adotadas ocultam a precariedade do contexto do trabalho, sugerindo a alienação dessas trabalhadoras, evidenciando a necessidade de fomentar a consciência política deste coletivo, para promover transformações concretas em sua realidade laboral.
