The objective was to analyze the profile of fishermen and fish trade during the pandemic (Covid-19) in Portel, Marajó, Brazil. The research was quantitative and qualitative, carried out with 18 artisanal fishermen. A questionnaire containing open and closed questions was used, addressing socioeconomic issues and the possible negative effects of the pandemic on marketing. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. All fishermen are men, over 25 years of age. The majority (83.3%) have been fishing for more than 10 years and have more than 4 people in the family (72.2%). A total of 83.3% are part of a social, fishing organization, and 88.9% are beneficiaries of some federal government program. A little more than half of the informants (55.5%) managed to develop fishing activities during the pandemic and did not spare a single hour of work, with a readjustment in the prices of most fish (79%). The production is intended only for direct marketing to the consumer and there was an increase in demand for fish (66.6%). More than half (61.1%) had an increase in family income, despite facing difficulties in developing fishing. The majority (83.3%) do not believe they will receive any help from the government. In conclusion, it was possible to know the profile of artisanal sinners and the consequences of the pandemic that were positive for the majority. Covid-19 affected the fishermen class, whether in their daily life, fishing activities, fish marketing or income obtained through it or through federal government programs [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Chronic venous disease (CVD) is progressive and has a high prevalence in the economically active population. Its impact on the quality of life of affected individuals is poorly understood. Objective: To test for correlations between the CEAP classification of CVD severity and CVD symptoms and quality of life of affected individuals. Methods: We investigated 91 lower limbs in 59 patients with CVD (CEAP C1- C6). Patients were assessed with a Visual Analogue Pain Scale (VAPS), the Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS) and the SF-36 quality-of-life questionnaire. Spearman correlation coefficients were calculated. Results: There were positive correlations between the CEAP classification and scores for VAPS (0.815, p <0.000), VCSS (0.937, p <0.000), and SF-36 in the dimensions Physical Functioning: -0.791, p <0.000; Role Physical: -0.839; p <0.000; Bodily Pain: -0.684; General Health: -0.617, p <0.000; Role Emotional: -0.691, p <0.000). There was no correlation with Vitality: -0.003, p=0.979; Role Social: -0.188, p=0.740 or Mental Health: -0.085, p=0.421. Conclusions: There were positive correlations between CEAP and both VAPS and VCSS. Chronic Venous Insufficiency progressively affects quality of life (SF-36). Physical and emotional aspects are more severe at later stages of CVD. Vitality, Mental Health and Role Social can be negatively impacted from the early stages of the disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
