This study, of a bibliographic nature, is characterized as a systematic review, whose objective consisted of mapping the panorama of Brazilian academic research in Ethnomathematics, from 2005 to 2023. The search base used was the catalog of theses and dissertations of the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Capes). 501 works were found, 418 dissertations and 83 theses. The preparation of the study was based on a guide formulated for systematic reviews in the area of Teaching and Mathematics Education, which is constituted, respectively, by the following five stages: objective and question; search for jobs; selection of studies; analysis of productions and presentation of the systematic review. The study has a theoretical foundation centered on theoretical contributions from the Ethnomathematics Program. According to the data collected, the research mapped in this study is focused on issues involving the teaching and learning process, the curriculum, models aimed at Mathematics Education, as well as describing or presenting parts or Ethnomathematics. The studies cover a diversity of cultural contexts, however, there is a focus on investigations focused on peasant and indigenous culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective. To map the policies related to the prevention and control of antimicrobial resistance from a human health perspective in Brazil and systematize the historical course of these policies. Method. A scoping review was performed following Joana Briggs Institute and PRISMA guidelines. A literature search was performed in December 2020 in the LILACS, PubMed and EMBASE databases. The terms "antimicrobial resistance" AND "Brazil" as well as their synonyms were used. Using the same keywords, Brazilian government websites were searched for documents published until December 2021. Studies of all designs were included, with no language or date restrictions. Clinical documents, reviews and epidemiological studies that did not focus on antimicrobial resistance management policies in Brazil were excluded. Categories based on World Health Organization documents were used for data systematization and analysis. Results. In Brazil, policies related to antimicrobial resistance such as the National Immunization Program and hospital infection control programs can be traced back to before the creation of the Unified Health System. In the late 1990s and 2000s, the first specific policies on antimicrobial resistance (surveillance networks and programs) and education strategies were established; especially noteworthy is The National Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Antimicrobial Resistance in the Single Health Scope (PAN-BR) of 2018. Conclusions. Despite the long history of policies related to antimicrobial resistance in Brazil, gaps were identified, particularly in monitoring the use of antimicrobials and surveillance of antimicrobial resistance. The PAN-BR, the first government document prepared from a One Health perspective, represents an important milestone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective. To map geographic clusters of rare disorders and congenital anomalies reported in South America. Methods. Qualitative systematic review conducted in Medline/PubMed, Lilacs, and Scielo electronic databases to identify studies meeting eligibility criteria. The strategy resulted in 1 672 unique articles, from which 164 were selected for full reading by a pair of reviewers. Results. Fifty-five articles reported at least one cluster of genetic disorders or congenital anomalies in South American territory. From these papers, 122 clusters were identified, of which half (61) were related to autosomal recessive disorders. Sixty-five (53.3%) of the clusters were located in Brazil. Conclusions. The results of the review reinforce that rare diseases and congenital anomalies can occur in a non-random way in space, which is discussed in the perspective of the complex history of formation, social organization, and genetic structure of the South American population. Mapping clusters in population medical genetics can be an important public health tool, given that such places concentrate cases of rare diseases that frequently require multiprofessional, specialized care. Therefore, these results can support important agendas in public health related to rare diseases and congenital anomalies, such as health promotion and surveillance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives. To characterize the distribution profile of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika virus infections in Latin America and the Caribbean and to identify possible factors associated with the risk of dissemination and severity of these arboviruses. Methods. The protocol of this review was registered on the PROSPERO platform. Searches were carried out in the following databases: Virtual Health Library, MEDLINE/PubMed, and Embase. The search terms were: Zika virus, Zika virus infection, dengue, dengue virus, chikungunya virus, chikungunya fever, epidemiology, observational study, Latin America, and Caribbean region. Studies that addressed the distribution of these arboviruses and the risk factors associated with dengue, Zika virus disease, and chikungunya, published between January 2000 and August 2020 in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, were included. Results. Of 95 studies included, 70 identified risk factors, clinical manifestations, and outcomes for arbovirus infections and 25 described complications and/or deaths. The highest frequency of confirmed cases was for dengue. Brazil reported most cases of the three arboviruses in the period analyzed. Environmental and socioeconomic factors facilitated the proliferation and adaptation of vectors, and host-related factors were reported to aggravate dengue. Most deaths were due to chikungunya, Zika virus disease caused most neurological alterations, and dengue resulted in greater morbidity leading to more frequent hospitalization. Conclusions. The review provides a broad view of the three arboviruses and the intrinsic aspects of infections, and highlights the factors that influence the spread of these viruses in the populations studied.

Introduction: Coronavirus disease (Covid-19) is an infectious disease affecting the respiratory tract, which emerged in China and spread rapidly throughout the world. Objective: To evaluate the methodological quality and transparency of Brazilian clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of coronavirus disease (Covid-19). Materials and Methods: A systematic review was conducted in 2020 on Medline (via PubMed), Embase, Scopus, LILACS, National Guideline Clearinghouse and Guidelines International Network databases, in addition to online searches on the Brazilian Ministry of Health, Brazilian Medical Association, Federal Council of Medicine, Federal Council of Nursing and Federal Council of Physical Therapy websites. The methodological quality and transparency of the guidelines were assessed using the second version of the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) instrument developed by four authors. Results: 33 guidelines were found of which 14 were included in the analysis. There was only one guideline that scored above 60% in all domains. Among the six domains, higher scores were found in the following three domains: scope and objective, stakeholder involvement and clarity of presentation. Discussion: Despite methodological weakness found, the authors were keen to provide clear and concise recommendations through key information and therapeutic options to facilitate decision making. Conclusions: Brazilian clinical practice guidelines were found to be of poor methodological quality, from which only one guideline was recommended and classified as to be of high methodological quality and transparency.

The topic of academic failure, especially among high school adolescents, is quite complex, but has been the focus of few studies compared to the elementary school stage. This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with the phenomenon of school failure in high school from a systematic review of theses and dissertations (search period from 2013 to 2019). Eight studies (2 dissertations and 6 theses) were selected and submitted to qualitative content analysis, based on three thematic categories: sample characterization, methodological characteristics, and factors associated with the phenomenon of school failure. The results suggest a predominance of conceptions that blame the student and his family for the academic failure experienced, so that the implications of teachers and the education system are briefly highlighted. This refers to the difficulties in thinking about the phenomenon of school failure beyond what is immediately present in the school's daily life. Regarding methodological aspects, the studies were mostly qualitative and cross-sectional. The need for further investigation on the theme in Brazil is discussed in order to give more visibility to this phenomenon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Multiple disability (DMu) has been treated as a frame of complex definition and characterization. This type of disability, however, has been little studied in Brazil, especially in the educational field. The objectives of this study were to describe and analyze the definitions of the terms DMu and multiple sensory disability (DMS) in Brazilian theses and dissertations. A systematic review was performed in the database of the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) in the time frame from 1999 to 2018. Once the scientific production was defined, a thematic content analysis of the definitions of the terms adopted in the academic works was performed. The results showed that there is a limited production (n = 18) of theses and dissertations on this theme in the Brazilian context, with more dissertations (n = 12) than theses (n = 6). The adoption of different concepts for the terms DMu and DMS, producing conceptual fluctuations over time. It was also noted that the definition of DMu varies between two aspects: the number of manifestations of conditions and the quality of individual functioning. It was also possible to realize that DMS is a subtype of condition in DMu that encompasses visual or hearing impairments associated with other conditions. It is concluded that this theme has been little addressed by researchers of Special Education and that there is a need to share a common definition to allow advances in research on the theme in Brazil. Finally, it is suggested that this type of disability, from the presented scenario, be more contemplated, especially in research in the area of Special Education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Introduction: obesity is increasing among women at reproductive age in Brazil. Excess body weight during pregnancy negatively impacts women's health. Objetives: to identify and analyze the publications that showed the effects of pregestational excess weight on pregnancy, delivery, and post-delivery in Brazilian women. Methods: this systematic review was performed including studies that involve Brazilian pregnant women with adverse outcomes caused by pregestational excess weight. Search, selection, and reporting were conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. The study was conducted by manually searching and screening the databases LILACS, PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, and Periodicos CAPES. The selected articles were evaluated according to the quality of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE), and categorized as studies with high (A), moderate (B), low (C), or extremely low (D) evidence quality. Results: a total of 1,582 studies were found, of which 39 were included for final reading and evaluation. Among these, 12.8%, 69.2%, and 18.0% were classified as A, B, and C or D for evidence quality, respectively. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, caesarean section, excessive weight gain, and gestational diabetes mellitus were commonly associated with pregestational excess weight in Brazilian women. Conclusions: the negative effects of excess body weight during pregnancy reflect the need for effective public policies that can address the problem, focusing on interventions that promote the health of women at reproductive age.

The document Atlas Esgotos: Despoluição de Bacias Hidrográficas (Sewers Atlas: Depollution of Water Basins) was published by Water National Agency (ANA), at 2017 and presents great relevance for the development of water resources and sanitation management in Brazil. Its approach is comprehensive and presents sanitary data from all 5,570 Brazilian municipalities. Thus, the research aims evaluate the insertion of the data presented in this document, in the development of scientific works. Thus, the methodology called Systematic Literature Review was used through searches carried out using the keyword Atlas Esgotos and its variations. To conduct the research, scientific documents published in the period between 2017 and 2019 were analyzed, using Google Scholar as the main search engine. According to the study, 129 documents were found and selected, where 12% are from journals, 33% from conference annals, and 50% from course completion papers. With regard to evaluation the way that the Sewer Atlas has been used in scientific research, it was concluded that 71% of the publications only quote the data, 25% used it for comparison with other sources or other scenarios and 4 % applied, in fact, the data from the Sewer Atlas for the development of their respective research.

Objective. To describe the frequency, characteristics, and factors contributing to suicide in indigenous populations in Brazil. Method. A systematic review of the literature was performed in PubMed, SciELO, PsycINFO, and LILACS. All population-based studies focusing on suicide among indigenous populations in Brazil were included. Results. The search identified 111 articles, of which nine met the inclusion criteria. Three of these studies were performed in the Midwest and four in the North of Brazil, while two covered all Brazilian regions. The ethnic groups investigated were specified in three studies (Terena, Kadiweu, Guato, Ofaie-Xavante, Guarani, Guarani-Kaiowá, and Guarani-Nandeva). Suicide rates were highest among males, single individuals, those with 4 to 11 years of schooling, and those aged 15 to 24 years. Suicides occurred most often in the home and on weekends, mostly by hanging. The main risk factors for suicide identified in the articles were poverty, historical and cultural factors, poor wellbeing indicators, family disintegration, social vulnerability, and lack of life or future perspective. Conclusions. All the studies indicated the need to engage communities in developing strategies, considering their cosmovision and the social, historic, and cultural view of each ethnic group to minimize risk factors and reduce suicide rates.

This review aimed to synthesize the literature describing the main subjects studied in the area of undergraduate medical education, making it possible to trace the main tendencies and pedagogical proposals for the training of medical professionals in Brazil. A systematic review was performed of articles published between 2013 and 2018, using as descriptors "medical education" and "undergraduate medical education". A total of 93 studies were analyzed and organized in the following categories: art mobilizing teaching; the evaluation process; teacher training and perceptions; the use of digital technologies in medical education; student perceptions of medical education; active teaching-learning methodologies; experience reports of medical teaching institutions on curriculum reformulation; experience reports on discipline's reformulation; and rethinking about medical education. As a result of the study, it was found that the main research topics in the area of Medical Education refer to the use of digital technologies mobilizing teaching and active teaching-learning methodologies. On the other hand, the subjects that least presented studies were those referring to the evaluation process and the perception of students and teachers about curricular innovations. Thus, there is a tendency to create new teaching strategies, but there is a lack of studies that evaluate the impacts of the implementation of these strategies from the perspective of teachers and students. With this study, it was possible to characterize the main subjects, mapping the trends and projecting perspectives of future investigations in the area of Medical Education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective To estimate the prevalence of Chagas disease in pregnant women and the risk of congenital transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in Brazil, through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods We searched electronic databases, grey literature and reference lists of included publications to identify epidemiological studies on the prevalence of Chagas disease in pregnant women and on the congenital transmission rate of T. cruzi infection in Brazil published between January 1980 and June 2013. Pooled estimates and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated using fixed- and random-effects models. Results Sixteen articles were included - 12 studies on the prevalence of Chagas disease in pregnant women (549 359 pregnant women) and nine on congenital transmission rates (1687 children born to infected mothers). Prevalence of Chagas disease in pregnant women ranged from 0.1% to 8.5%, and congenital transmission rates from 0% to 5.2%. The pooled prevalence of Chagas disease among pregnant women across studies was 1.1% (95% CI: 0.6-2.0); the pooled congenital transmission rate was 1.7% (95% CI: 0.9-3.1). In 2010, 34 629 pregnant women were estimated to be infected with T. cruzi, and 312-1073 children born (mean: 589 cases) with congenital infection. Conclusion Congenital Chagas disease is a neglected public health problem in Brazil. Systematic congenital Chagas disease control programs through routine prenatal screening for T. cruzi should be widely implemented in Brazil's endemic areas, to identify infected pregnant women and newborns at risk of congenital infection.
