Interobserver agreement in Reception and Risk Stratification in Obstetrics implementation.

Objectives: to analyze interobserver agreement in the Reception and Risk Stratification in Obstetrics protocol implementation.

Methods: a cross-sectional study carried out during Reception and Risk Stratification in Obstetrics implementation, conducted in a tertiary hospital in southern Brazil with 891 participants in January 2020. Descriptive and interobserver agreement analysis was carried out using the Kappa coefficient in the risk stratification assigned by the triage nurse and reviewed by the researcher.

Frequency of skin diseases in renal transplant recipients and patients with chronic kidney disease in a tertiary center: a cross-sectional study.

Background: The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has increased in the recent decades, along with the number of patients in the terminal stages of this disease, requiring transplantation. Some skin disorders are more frequent in patients with CKD and in renal transplant recipients (RTR).

Objectives: To evaluate the frequency of skin diseases in RTR and patients with CKD receiving conservative treatment.

Mitochondrial heteroplasmy and pseudogenes in the freshwater prawn, (Heller, 1862): DNA barcoding and phylogeographic implications.

The mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase c subunit 1 (COI) gene has been widely used in phylogenetic studies of crustaceans and analyses in population genetics. As COI studies have become more popular, there has been an increase in the number of reports of the presence of nuclear insertions of mitochondrial DNA (Numts) and mitochondrial heteroplasmy. Here, we provide evidence of both types of event in the COI sequences of , an economically important freshwater prawn, which is widespread in South America.

The history of the introduction of the giant river prawn, Macrobrachium cf. rosenbergii (Decapoda, Palaemonidae), in Brazil: New insights from molecular data.

The giant river prawn, Macrobrachium cf. rosenbergii, is one of the most cultivated freshwater prawns in the world and has been introduced into more than 40 countries. In some countries, this prawn is considered an invasive species that requires close monitoring.

[Portuguese-language version of the Asthma Control Test].

Objective: To develop and validate a Portuguese-language version of the Asthma Control Test (ACT) for use in Brazil.

Methods: The study comprised 290 asthma outpatients over 12 years of age. The patients completed the ACT questionnaire and had an appointment with a pulmonologist in order to assess asthma control in two visits.

[Perception of asthma control in asthma patients].

Objective: To determine the proportion of asthma patients with poor perception of asthma control and to evaluate the characteristics of this subgroup.

Methods: A cross-sectional study in which consecutive outpatients (over the age of 12) with mild, moderate, or severe asthma were selected. The patients underwent clinical examination and pulmonary function tests, as well as being assessed for depression and perception of asthma control.
