Telemedicine in the National Immunization Program (Brazil): A promising tool.

Unlabelled: The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic abruptly changed the dynamics of basic health care, with the consequent need for adjustments in essential services. The objective of this study was to evaluate the acceptance and impact of telemedicine at a Reference Center for Special Immunobiologicals (CRIE).

Methods: Patients aged 18 years or older who had a medical referral to CRIE and agreed to have a telemedicine consultation were included.

A prospective, multicentre, cohort study to assess the incidence of dengue illness in households from selected communities in Brazil (2014-2018).

Objectives: To estimate the incidence of dengue infection across geographically distinct areas of Brazil.

Methods: This prospective, household-based, cohort study enrolled participants in five areas and followed them up for up to 4 years (2014-2018). Dengue seroprevalence was assessed at each scheduled visit.

Anti-dyskinetic effect of the neuronal nitric oxide synthase inhibitor is linked to decrease of FosB/deltaFosB expression.

Rodents with lesion of dopaminergic pathway when receiving repeated l-3,4-dihydroxiphenylalanine (l-DOPA) treatment develop abnormal involuntary movements called dyskinesia. We demonstrated that nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors mitigate l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in rodents. The aim of the present study was to verify if the in vivo preferential neuronal NOS (nNOS) inhibitor 7-nitroindazole (7-NI) affect the expression of the transcription factor FosB/ΔFosB in the lesioned striatum, an indicator of neuronal activity associated with dyskinesia.

[The daily activity of the nurse in clinical research: an experience report].

The present study is a report on the authors' experience working nurses in a randomized, blinded, phase III clinical trial, developed at Escola Nacional de Saúde Pública Sérgio Arouca/FIOCRUZ/RJ. This study describes the participation of nurses in the implementation of a clinical trial, highlighting their importance in this new field of work. The authors state the rigorous implementation of the clinical trial by the nurse, aiming to prevent errors, biases and failures; as well as the commitment to the authenticity of data collection, attention and respect to the rights and welfare of the study subjects.
