    Avaliação dos efeitos da auriculoterapia e auriculoterapia a laser no tratamento das alterações de olfato e paladar pós Covid-19 - estudo clínico
    (Universidade Brasil, 2023) Oliveira, Andreia de; Navarro, Ricardo Scarparo; Baptista, Alessandra
    COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the new coronavirus, also known as severe acute respiratory syndrome virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). There are characteristic systemic changes during the disease process, and post-COVID-19, called long COVID, we can highlight the sensory changes in smell and taste that directly interfere with individuals' quality of life. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of auriculotherapy (AT) and laser auriculotherapy (LAT) in the treatment of post-COVID- 19 changes in smell and taste. After approval by the CEP (5,357,603), acceptance and signing of the TCLE by the participants, with a positive PCR exam or self-test for COVID-19, treated, aged over 18 years, of both sexes, were randomly divided into groups : G1 (AT) (n=12) AT with mustard seeds; G2 (LAT) (n= 12) AT with low power laser (Laser Duo, MMOptics, São Carlos, Brazil) (808 nm, 3 J, 100 mW, 30 s, tip area 0.03 cm2, 3.33 W/cm2, 100 J/cm2); G3 (LAT placebo) (n= 12) LAT as in group 2, with a barrier at the exit of the laser beam emission; G4 (LAT tip) (n= 12) as in group 2, using acupuncture tip (808 nm, 3 J, 100 mW, 30 s, tip area 0.07 cm2, 1.43 W/cm2, 42.9 J/cm2) (MMOptics, São Carlos, Brazil). In all groups, AT was performed in contact with the skin on the ear at different acupoints (Shen Men, Kidney, Sympathetic, Tongue, Mouth, External Nose, Internal Nose/Pharynx, Heart, Lung), once a week, totaling 10 sessions. Participants were evaluated by anamnesis, Sensory Assessment Tests (SAT) of Smell and Taste before and after each session. The results showed for SAT smell and taste in the intragroup analysis in G1-AT, G2-LAT and G4-LAT tip there was a significant difference before and after treatments (p<0.05), in G3-LAT placebo smell there was no difference for sweet and salty (p>0.05) and there was a difference for bitter, sour, spicy (p>0.05); in G3-LAT placebo taste there was no significant difference (p>0.05) for all variables. For the intergroup analysis for SAT smell and taste: between the auriculotherapy groups (G1 AT, G2 LAT, G4 LAT tip) and G3 LAT placebo there were significant differences (p<0.05), between the auriculotherapy groups they were no differences (p>0.05) and the treatments promoted an effective increase in smell and taste values (p<0.05), the G3 LAT placebo group presented lower results than the treatments groups. It can be concluded that auriculotherapy and laser auriculotherapy were effective in treating changes in smell and taste after COVID-19; the different modalities of auriculotherapy - AT, LAT, LAT tip promoted recovery of smell and taste, with no differences between treatments; there were no placebo effects, the study proposes new therapeutic protocols of auriculotherapy and laser auriculotherapy in the treatment of changes in smell and taste after COVID-19; no side effects, non- pharmacological, non-invasive, painless, with greater patient acceptability.

    Estudo do microrelevo cutâneo após o uso da dermaplanagem por meio da fotogrametria digital tridimensional
    (Universidade Brasil, 2021) Ventura, Danielle Bastos da Silva; Frade-Barros, Amanda Farage
    The skin surface is a barrier and can selectively communicate with the internal biological environment and the external environment, it is not flat and contains several straight grooves that can be classified according to depth, and therefore, these conditions that define its micro relief are related to its exchanges and its breathing, so the photogrammetric analysis instruments allow its amplification, making it possible and necessary to describe them. Dermaplaning is a technique used in qualified aesthetic protocols, facial rejuvenation and the treatment of atrophic scars, based on the concept of physically removing the superficial layers of the skin by dragging a blade of sterile, disposable butter from a scalpel. The three-dimensional photogrammetry analysis instruments are modern resources of current tissue bioengineering and allow a form of tissue enlargement in a precise and non-invasive way. Two dermaplaning intervals with 21-day intervals were performed in women between 18 and 38 years old, divided into 2 groups (control n = 21, test n = 21) with complaints of skin texture alteration. The effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated using three-dimensional digital photogrammetry and photothermographic imaging before and after the preparations. The group showed decreased oiliness, local hydration and increased count of elastic and collagen fibers, as well as surface pigmentation, through arbitrary measures provided by the equipment. This study was of fundamental importance to verify, in addition to the changes in the biotype, that there were topographic changes in the cutaneous microrelief after the use of dermaplaning and showed that the technique is a possible effective dermatological or aesthetic therapy to improve the microrelief, but it is necessary its post-procedure skin management.

    A relação entre a irradiação transcutânea do sangue – ILIB modificada e os níveis de cortisol salivar em cuidadores de idosos saudáveis
    (Universidade Brasil, 2021) Trindade, Monaiza Moura; Baptista, Alessandra
    Formal caregivers usually have exhaustive work scale that can trigger emotional changes and a decrease in the quality of life of these professionals. The use of ILIB (Intravascular Laser Irradiation of Blood) can improve the immunological activity of the blood, in addition to facilitating blood circulation and has been used in the treatment of different diseases. The aim of this study was to verify the effects of ILIB, applied transcutaneous, in relation to the levels of salivary cortisol of caregivers of formal elderly in long-term care institutions, who work during the day and night. Forty-two caregivers of formal elderly people were divided into 6 groups: Day Group (DG) (n=7); Day ILIB Group (DILIBG) (n=7); Day ILIB/placebo group (DPG) (n=7); Night Group (NG) (n=7); ILIB Night Group (NILIBG) (n=7); and Night ILIB/placebo Group (NPG) (n=7). Volunteers in the ILIB and ILIB / placebo groups received ILIB, in the radial artery region, by means of a low-power laser (Laser Duo, MMOPTICS, São Carlos, Brazil), l= 660 nm, P = 100 mW / 30 min, every other day, for 2 weeks, totaling 8 sessions of treatment/placebo, while the groups: GD and GN performed salivary collection on the day off and on the workday. All participants answered the quality of life questionnaire (QLQ) before any procedure and saliva collections for volunteers in the ILIB and ILIB/placebo groups were performed before any procedure; 24 h and 48 h after 8 treatment/placebo sessions, while the groups: DN and NG performed salivary collection on the day off and on the workday. The QLQ results did not show statistically significant differences between daytime and nighttime workers (p>0.05). Regarding cortisol quantification, the results showed statistically significant decreases (p<0.05) in salivary cortisol levels, both in the ILIB groups and in the placebo groups. Therefore, we can conclude that it was possible to measure the salivary cortisol levels of caregivers of formal elderly in long-stay institutions, who work day and night, treated or not with ILIB. However, ILIB cannot help to reduce salivary cortisol levels in caregivers of elderly people in long-term care facilities.

    Avaliação dos efeitos da desinfecção química e com radiação ultravioleta na estabilidade dimensional de diferentes materiais de moldagem odontológicos
    (Universidade Brasil, 2021) Santos Neto, Antonio Vinicios dos; Navarro, Ricardo Scarparo
    The disinfection of molds obtained with dental impression materials is within the biosafety protocols, in the control of cross-infection of microorganisms in dental offices, prosthesis laboratories, professionals and patients, being currently the target of greater attention due to the pandemic of COVID-19, with the implementation of alternative disinfection protocols and methods. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of disinfection by ultraviolet radiation and chemical disinfection on dimensional stability of different dental molding materials. Acrylic resin mannequin molds with irreversible hydrocolloidal materials (alginate) (n = 25) and elastomer (condensation silicone) (n = 25) were used with different disinfection methods (n = 5): G1- negative control: no treatment, G2- Glutaraldehyde 2% (10 min), G3- Sodium hypochlorite 1% (10 min), G4- UV-C radiation (λ = 254 nm) (30 s), G5- Autoclave (positive control) (15 min). The molds after the treatments were cast with special plaster. After 24 h, the plaster models were measured by a calibrated, blinded researcher, with a caliper in determined places on the upper first molar: mesio-distal (MD-O) and vestibulo-lingual (VL-O) and buccal cervical-occlusal face (CV-B) and mesio-distal (MD-V). The data were tabulated and analyzed using the statistical tests of Kolmogorov-Smirnov, ANOVA one-way and Tukey tests (p <0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the linear values of plaster models between chemical (Glutaraldehyde 2%, sodium hypochlorite 1%) and physical (UV-C radiation) disinfection methods with the control (p> 0.05), the autoclave showed a significant difference in relation to the control and the different methods of disinfection (p <0.05) with greater dimensional change for both impression materials. It can be concluded that the methods of chemical disinfection (Glutaraldehyde 2%, Sodium hypochlorite 1%) and physical (UV-C radiation) maintained the dimensional stability of the dental impression materials alginate and elastomer (condensation silicone).

    A suplementação de vitamina C inibe hiperativação de células de Leucemia Mielóide Crônica induzidas por Lipopolysaccarídeo: envolvimento da sinalização purinérgica
    (Universidade Brasil, 2021) Pires, Daniela Alves; Vieira, Rodolfo de Paula
    Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm, characterized by overproduction of white blood cells, with the patients presenting anemia, fatigue, infections, bleeding, and other problems. Thus, an important goal for CML patients is to prevent infections and inhibit the exacerbation of inflammatory processes. In this context, the present study investigated whether vitamin C could inhibit hyperinflammatory activation of K562 cells induced by LPS and whether purinergic signaling is involved in such response. Two doses of vitamin C were used (5 µg/mL and 10 µg/mL) for 2 hours prior LPS (10ng/mL) for 22 hours in K-562 cells (3x105 cells/mL/well). The results demonstrated that both doses of vitamin C significantly reduced LPS-induced the release of IL-6 (5 µg/mL, p<0.01 and 10µg/mL p<0.01) and TNF-alpha (5 µg/mL, p<0.01 and 10µg/mL p<0.01). In contrast, both doses of vitamin C induced the release of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 (5 µg/mL, p<0.01 and 10µg/mL p<0.01). In addition, 10µg/mL of vitamin C induced the release of klotho(10µg/mL p<0.01), an anti-aging and antiinflammatory protein. Importantly, vitamin C (5 µg/mL, p<0.01 and 10µg/mL p<0.01) reduced ATP release and accumulation in the extracellular milieu as well as reduce the expression at mRNA levels of P2X7 receptor, suggesting a possible mechanism of action. Therefore, we conclude that vitamin C inhibits hyperinflammatory state induced by LPS in K-562 cells involving purinergic signaling.

    Desenvolvimento e avaliação de aplicativo de dispositivo móvel para auxílio no dimensionamento do quadro de profissionais de enfermagem
    (Universidade Brasil, 2021) Monezi, Marcus Vinícius Belão; Magalhães, Daniel Souza Ferreira
    The Fugulin and Braden scales are instruments used in nursing to classify the clinical status of patients in different sectors of a hospital. These instruments allow the elaboration of a System of Classification of Patients (SCP) and to know exactly the scenario of the work environment, to quantify the professionals needed for the assistance. These classification systems subsidize the dimensioning of nursing professionals, who must follow normative criteria of the Federal Nursing Council (COFEN). The objective of the present study is to develop and test an application and its management platform (WEB platform) for the application of these combined scales on a mobile device. This application classifies the patient into different levels of nursing dependency and presents the grouped data of the total number of patients in each sector. The application was designed to be used in a simple way, and was built from the Kotlin programming language, the tool proved to be efficient in the tests performed. Which allows to affirm that this technological resource is efficient for the use that was developed, to replace the old model in printed paper with the use of this program in a mobile device. The work contributed to fill a knowledge gap in the application platforms and in the research in the area. And it is an advance because it allows the assessment and classification of the patient to be made using two scales simultaneously.

    Ensaio clínico cego e randomizado para avaliação de dois protocolos de fotobiomodulação para a prevenção das complicações orais em pacientes transplantados de medula óssea
    (Universidade Brasil, 2021) Marski, Roberta Silveira da Silva; Nuñez, Silvia Cristina
    Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) or hematopoietic cell transplantation requires high doses of chemotherapy in patients who will undergo HSCT (Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation), this chemotherapy regimen causes the destruction of cells with a high mitotic index leading to damage to the oral and gastric mucosa called Mucositis. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of Photobiomodulation (PBM) in the prevention of oral complications in hematopoietic transplant patients applying PBM daily and comparing it to the application every other day, totalizing 4 weekly applications from the beginning of conditioning to neutrophilic engraftment (bone marrow engraftment) in gender-independent, halogen and/or haploidentical transplant recipients. The volunteers were randomly divided into 2 groups: Daily Laser Group (DLG) P=13; LG4 (4x a week) P=17. All groups were evaluated daily by a trained nursing staff., from the beginning of conditioning D-7 to D+21, the results were cataloged and analyzed in a blind, longitudinal study, according to the WHO scale for evaluation of oral mucositis and pain degree (VAS scale). The groups were submitted to low power laser treatment (Therapy XT-DMC, São Carlos, Brazil) with a wavelength of 660nm, Power of 100mW, exposure time of 20 s delivering 2J per point throughout the oral cavity. Data related to xerostomia, odynophagia and degree of mucositis were analyzed over 21 days and the data were compared statistically using the Mann-Whitney test. The statistical comparison results for xerostomia (D+8 p=0.4434), odynophagia (D+8 p=0.8560) and mucositis (D+8 p=0.7285) showed no significant differences at any time during the study. According to the results, the PBM protocol on alternate days is as efficient as the daily application for the prevention of oral complications in patients who underwent HSCT.

    Avaliação comparativa entre as técnicas All-on-four e Four-onpillars em planejamentos virtuais 3D associadas a cirurgias guiadas em maxilas atróficas
    (Universidade Brasil, 2021) Maia, Marcelo do Lago Pimentel; Magalhães, Daniel Souza Ferreira
    Thorough technical knowledge and anatomical understanding are critical for optimal surgical results. The difficulty of complete maxillary surgery can vary significantly depending on the complexity of the anatomy or bone defect. Guided surgery is currently a relevant option for bringing to the patient fewer surgical complications and is directly related to 3D virtual planning for the success of the case. In this work, we analyze and compare two methods of planning guided in software for the manipulation of dental implants, associated with the All-on-four (A.F.) and Four-on-pillars (F.P.) techniques used in patients with atrophic maxillae. Forty-two images of totally edentulous patients were analyzed, 30 of which were planned using ImplantViewer software for volume assessment and ImageJ software for area assessment. The volumes were acquired in a CRANEX 3D volumetric tomograph model from the Soredex brand. In each planning, the height and width of the bone remnant was used as guidance and the implants were installed virtually. The average area of the Fouron-pillars technique was 4.9x (p<0.0001) greater than the average area with the Allon-four technique, this represents a difference of 489%, which in the same force applied by the jaw we have a 4.9x lower pressure, that is, a better distribution of forces on the jaws. It was not possible to notice a statistical difference between the success proportions (p=0.2542), showing that the techniques have a non-different (similar) success proportion. We conclude that the area formed in the Four-on-pillars surgical planning is larger than in the All-on-four planning and also that there is no technique with successful advantages over another, therefore the Four-on-pillars technique becomes an excellent option as a treatment for atrophic jaws.

    Efeito antibacteriano do óleo de girassol ozonizado em diferentes concentrações
    (Universidade Brasil, 2021) Ficher, Ester; Nuñez, Silvia Cristina
    The world is currently facing a crisis regarding microorganisms and microbial resistance. The evaluation of alternative antimicrobial therapies has been a constant search in recent decades. Ozonized oil can be an alternative within this field. The present study aims to analyze the antimicrobial efficacy of commercially available ozonated sunflower oil in different concentrations. A gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and the gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli were used. The microorganisms were grown in BHI broth (Brain and Heart Infusion) for 24h. Plates containing BHI agar were prepared for the inhibition halo test with a 3 mm diameter central well and contaminated with 50 µL of bacterial suspension. The wells made in the plates were filled with ozonated sunflower oil in concentrations ranging from 80 mmol-Eq / kg to 1290 mmol-Eq /. The plates were taken to the incubator at 37°C for 24h and the inhibition zone was measured with a millimeter probe, two control groups one with non-ozonated sunflower oil and one with 2% chlorhexidine gluconate solution were also evaluated. The results demonstrated that the efficacy for E.coli increases linearly with increasing concentration, however, only the concentrations of 702 mmol-Eq / kg and 1290 mmol-Eq / kg were significantly different (p<0.004). For S.aureus, the results showed significant differences only in the concentration of 1290 mmol-Eq / kg, but with a similar effect between the intermediate and higher concentrations (p<0.0001). The chlorhexidine group demonstrated to have a more effective action for both microorganisms under the conditions of this study (p<0.001). According to the results ozonized sunflower oil has less antimicrobial effect than chlorhexidine, the result is dependent on the concentration and only concentrations above 702 mmol-Eq / kg showed some efficacy.

    Aplicativo móvel multiplataforma para gestão de cuidados de idosos
    (Universidade Brasil, 2021) Chagas, Renata Kelen; Nuñez, Silvia Cristina
    The aging of the world population has been taking place in recent decades as result of the decrease in birth rates and better health care that allows for an increase in life expectancy. Senile dementias are examples of diseases that can affect the elderly, reducing independence and self-care. With the presence of women in the labor market and the reduced number of children, the elderly must often live under the care of others who have professional experience to provide appropriate medical care, but lack of contact with the family and unfamiliarity with habits and tastes can reduce the quality of life of the elderly. Technological advances must be used to reduce the distance between families, caregivers, doctors and the elderly. The objective of this work is to develop an application for mobile devices that facilitates communication between health service providers for the elderly residing in long-stay institutions. The CuidaLife application was developed for a software operating system with input modules for registering elderly people, family members, doctors and caregivers. The developed application can be accessed through any smartphone, tablet or computer, as long as it has internet access. Its layout is responsive, that is, it adjusts according to the screen size of the equipment. The elderly registration modules were designed to allow the exchange of information about the elderly not only medical, but also including food preferences, habits that are important for daily well-being and exchange of personal photos between family and elderly. The caregivers module allows the exchange of information between caregivers' shifts, with information relevant to the care of the elderly, and the medical module allows access to health information relevant to the monitoring of the elderly. The application worked well and can represent an easy and safe way to improve the quality of life of individuals who depend on third parties for their care.

    Avaliação microbiológica da associação do biopolímero de fibrina com nitrato de prata
    (Universidade Brasil, 2021) Campos, Silvana; Nuñez, Silvia Cristina; Cogo, José Carlos
    Fibrin sealants, also known as fibrin biopolymer (BPF), are biological matrixes from human plasma, fully resorbable, that mimic the last stages of the coagulation cascade during which fibrinogen is converted into a structured and insoluble fibrin clot. BPF developed from the snake venom Crotalus durissus terrificus, presents an excellent alternative for tissue engineering and cell modulation. Its use as a healer for venous ulcers in the lower limbs proved to be safe and potentially effective in a phase II clinical study. Objective: To investigate the antimicrobial effect of the association of fibrin biopolymer with silver nitrate. This association will allow its use in contaminated and colonized wounds, which currently leads to suspension of treatment with BPF. Methods: BPF is prepared from 2 active components and a diluent. Different concentrations of silver nitrate were mixed with the BPF components. The clots containing silver nitrate were inserted into the wells drilled on the agar in Petri dishes containing the culture medium of Mueller Hilton agar previously seeded with cultures of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Silver nitrate concentrations were used, forming the following groups: Control - NP1 = 1mg / mL; NP2 = 2.5mg / mL and NP3 = 5mg / mL silver nitrate; Experimental group: the same concentrations used in the control group associated with BPF and positive control with antibiotics. The presence was verified and the inhibition halo present in each of the tested plates was measured. Tests of minimum inhibitory concentration (CIM) and minimum bactericide (CBM) were carried out to establish the lowest concentration of BPF + NP and NP capable of inhibiting the tested strains. Mean and median values of diameters with measures of central tendency and standard deviation and interquartile range were considered as measures of sample dispersion and verification of antimicrobial efficacy. Results: A significant difference was observed in the halos of inhibition of treatments with NP when compared with BPF + NP. There was a statistical difference in the inhibition halos of the gram-negative bacteria in relation to the gram-positive bacteria, in the treatment with NP, NP3 showed a significant difference in relation to NP2 compared to E. coli while S. aureus did not present a statistically significant difference. BPF alone did not form an inhibition halo. BPF + NP had an inhibitory effect on the antimicrobial action of NP by 18.2% for E. coli and 13.5% for S. aureus when compared to NP treatment. The CIM found for E. coli and S. aureus when tested with GMP + NP were 7.81 and 250 µg / mL and with NP 3.9 and 7.81 µg / mL. While CBM found for BPF + NP they were 15.62 and 1000 µg / mL and for treatment with NP 7.81 and 15.62 µg / mL respectively. Conclusion: It was possible to verify by the results that the NP and BPF + NP showed antibacterial effect on the species of gram-negative and grampositive bacteria, demonstrating greater efficacy for E. coli and that the antibacterial activity of the NP was more effective than the BPF + NP. He observed that GMP when isolated has no antibacterial effect.

    Avaliação do conhecimento sobre fotobiomodulação dos fisioterapeutas no Brasil
    (Universidade Brasil, 2021) Arruda Neto, Euler; Nuñez, Silvia Cristina
    Physiotherapy is the profession that assesses, rehabilitates, prevents, recovers, as well as restores, develops, and conserves the individual's capacity through physical resources such as ultrasound, heat and light. Electrophysical resources are described and recommended in undergraduate courses and among these we find the use of low power lasers. Brazil is one of the countries with the most publications in the world in the area known as Photobiomodulation (PBM), however, it is not clear the access that physiotherapy clinicians have to the advances obtained in scientific research. The purpose of this study is to verify, through an electronic form, the knowledge of physical therapists enrolled in class councils about PBM in daily practice. An electronic questionnaire Google Form was developed, and it was sent by email, WhatsApp social networks, SMS, and printed forms were also distributed. The distribution started in the region of Goiás and the Federal District with the support of CREFITO 11 and then expanded to other regions. In total 106 physiotherapists answered the questionnaire. Of these 50% used lasers in the clinic, while 10.4% had never used lasers. After obtaining the data and according to the responses obtained, we observed 50% that physiotherapy professionals. 81.4% said they did not use it because they did not have the equipment and 10.2% indicated the cost as a reason for not using it. Among the participants, 62.3% said they had not made any updates in the area in the last 3 years and of those who said they had updated the courses up to 1 hour in duration were the majority. 76.5% also never calibrated their equipment and 45.7% said they used the protocols they learned at graduation. Based on the results, we conclude that there is a need for greater dissemination of the scientific knowledge obtained in the field of PBM in physical therapy so that the advances are effectively passed on to professionals who work clinically in the area.

    Ferramentas 3D como auxílio no processo de ensino-aprendizagem na disciplina de anatomia
    (Universidade Brasil, 2021) Armesto, Leonardo Moraes; Magalhães, Daniel Souza Ferreira
    The study of the discipline of anatomy requires from the student a high capacity for attention and concentration in order to achieve learning in its entirety, becoming a laborious and strenuous process due to its intricate richness of details. This factor is associated with the high use of an anatomical organic demand that degrades with significant speed and requires constant replacement or use of toxic chemicals for longer use. The objective of this work is to investigate the benefits in terms of learning anatomy with the aid of 3D tools. Images of organs for 3D screen were developed, as well as the impression of organs in polymeric resin for use in the classroom. Forty students aged between 18 and 60 years old of both sexes were evaluated, all belonging to the same institution of technical education in nursing. The study was based on 2 groups of students: the first class (n = 20) received the content and application of the anatomy discipline through books, illustrations, blackboard and slide projection. The second class (n = 20) received the same information content as the first, taught by the same teacher, using traditional resources, with the addition of 3D projection screens and pieces printed on a 3D printer. The analysis took place in both classes through a content review class, carried out between the application of a first questionnaire (entry questionnaire), and a second verification questionnaire after the review class (exit questionnaire). The questionnaire covered the following domains: proportion, spatial location, volumetry, morphology, similarity and motivation. The results confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed model using 3D when observing the domains of spatial location/physical anatomy, volumetry/planaltimetry and motivation when compared to the class that used 3D resources with the control group, of traditional methodology. It was also possible to validate the use of 3D impressions, as well as the use of multi-auto-stereoscopic (3D) images, their inherent depth perception, in addition to justifying the gradual entry of practical, perennial and detailed technologies, as they allow the reduction of perishable organs and corpses, as well as the dangerous contact with toxic chemicals in educational environments.

    Dermatite induzida por produtos de higiene das mãos no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19
    (Universidade Brasil, 2021) Almeida, Amanda Priscila; Navarro, Ricardo Scarparo; Nuñez, Silvia Cristina
    The COVID-19 pandemic ravaged the entire planet and important behaviors were reinforced by all health control agencies around the world, such as social distancing, the use of protective masks and hand hygiene, through washing with water and soap or application of alcohol gel. The aim of this study was to carry out an integrative review of the evidence in the literature on the characteristics of dermatitis induced by hand hygiene products in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and to carry out a survey of information through a structured questionnaire on the behavior of the population and the hand hygiene care during 2020. An integrative review of articles was carried out, following the PICOS strategy, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, between December 2019 and April 2021, with the descriptors: contact dermatitis; hand dermatitis; hand disinfection; occupational dermatitis; occupational irritant hand dermatitis AND COVID-19; coronavirus; pandemic; pandemic; SARS-COV-2 with their corresponding terms in Portuguese and Spanish. The Boolean OR operator was applied between the terms. The search was performed in PubMed, MEDLINE, LILACS and Scielo databases. An electronic form was made available online to answer questions related to hand hygiene and cleaning habits within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the results, from the search for studies and with double and triple crossings, 557 articles were found, among these, 24 articles were selected related to the study topic. The answers to the questions were converted into numbers and the normality of the distribution of variables was tested using the Shapiro-Wilk test. The data obtained were analyzed by Student's t and Wilcoxon statistical tests and correlation analyzes were performed using the Pearson's Correlation Coefficient using the SPSS software (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 25.0.; IBM, Armonk, New York) in the interval 95% confidence. A total of 1027 responses to the questionnaire were obtained and it was observed that 21.4% of the participants had COVID-19 and 93% changed their hand hygiene habits after the pandemic, the habit of using alcohol gel was one of the biggest changes (83.1 %), 52.2% of the participants learned something new about cleaning their hands after the pandemic and 74.6% noticed a change in the skin on their hands after the onset of the pandemic. Among those interviewed, 8% had to seek medical help for problems with the skin on their hands.
