To discuss the emotional labor in pediatric nursing considering the repercussions of COVID-19 in childhood and adolescence.

Reflexion based on theoretical aspects and scientific evidence of emotional labor in pediatric nursing.

Given the repercussions of COVID-19 on children and adolescents, it is up to the nurse to recognize them and nurture a non-traumatic and affectionate care. However, measures to control the disease affect the care provided. In this context, emotional labor process become essential, as they guide the management of the child's and family's emotions, associated with the suffering caused by the pandemic and the nurse's emotional experience when caring.

Emotional support and care processes are essential in pediatrics, especially in a stressful time such as a pandemic, which requires the positive transformation of the intense and disturbing experiences of people for them to achieve psychosocial well-being.

Carry out a reflective analysis on the relationship of obesity as a risk factor for the worsening of COVID-19.

Reflective study, supported by scientific evidence, which contributed to a critical-reflexive construction on the theme "Obesity" in interface with "Covid-19".

This study brought up important reflections for health professionals, researchers and managers, from the beginning of the pandemic, a period in which obesity was not recognized as a risk factor, until the current scenario, in which a series of pathophysiological mechanisms that clinically connect these diseases are being proposed.

Obesity is a risk factor for the worsening of COVID-19, which is contributing to the overload of health services, and which requires differentiated health care, with adjustments in care, pharmacological protocols and commitment to health education in the within the Unified Health System.

To analyze the experiences of Nursing students during the mandatory hospital internship at a Material and Sterilization Center with a focus on leadership development.

This is an experience report of a mandatory hospital curricular internship anchored in the national curricular guidelines for Nursing, of a descriptive-reflective nature, and carried out in a general university hospital in southern Brazil, from March to June 2019.

Activities were developed in order to develop leadership aspects such as people, orthotics and prosthetics management, surgical planning, conflict management, and assertive communication.

The mandatory hospital curricular internship at the Material and Sterilization Center favored the students in the leadership process, management, decision-making, and development of autonomy for leading nurses.

To highlight the best leadership practices of nurses who contribute to hospital risk management.

Single case study with two integrated units of analysis, with a qualitative approach. Data collected from April to November 2018, through focused interviews with nurse managers, non-participant observation and documentary research. Analysis using the analytical technique to the explanation construction.

Three thematic categories were evidenced, demonstrating that the best leadership practices involve technical and non-technical competencies anchored in behavioral development, scientific knowledge, guidelines for quality and patient safety and participatory management of the health team.

The best leadership practices of nurses who contribute to hospital risk management pervade technical skills and/or formal positions, valuing each team professional in a unique way and emphasizing the importance of scientific knowledge and the professional reference model that the nurse exercises in hospitals.

To describe the trajectory of the insertion of obstetric nurses in the care of planned home childbirth in Rio Grande do Sul.

An exploratory and qualitative study, with application of thematic oral history. Thirteen obstetric nurses who worked in planned home childbirth in the state participated in the study. Data was collected from December 2019 to March 2020 through interviews and analyzed based on a thematic content analysis.

Two categories emerged 1) Personal, training and professional experiences that encouraged obstetric nurses to enter planned home childbirth; and 2) The search for autonomy, freedom, protagonism and respect in the care of delivery and birth as stimuli for the insertion of obstetric nurses in the planned home childbirth.

Personal, training and professional experiences and dissatisfaction with hospital obstetric care in the state, considered interventionist and physician-centered, encouraged obstetric nurses to enter planned home childbirth.

To identify the repercussions on mental health of groups and populations in the context of the new coronavirus pandemic.

Narrative review carired out in three databases, in March 2020, using the descriptors mental health and coronavirus. A total of 19 publications were analyzed, organized in a synoptic chart, containing type of publication, authors, country, sample, objective, and main results. From this analysis, two thematic axes emerged identification of problems and vulnerable groups in mental health; and mental health interventions and actions.

The first axis showed manifestations of suffering - anguish, insomnia, anger, stress, fear. The second revealed the need to build government policies and general guidelines; production of information and communication; and mental health care practices.

The repercussions on mental health in the population intensified with the pandemic, identifying vulnerable groups, and the need to build coping strategies and policies aimed at mental health during epidemics.

To evaluate the protocols on decontamination/reuse of N95 masks available in the literature in times of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Integrative literature review, in the period from 2010 to 2020, on the databases MEDLINE/PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane, SAGE journals, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase and Wiley, with the descriptors Masks AND Respiratory protective devices; Mask OR N95 AND Covid-19; N95 AND Respirators; Decontamination AND N95 AND Coronavirus; Facemask OR Pandemic.

Twelve studies were included, of which 3 (30.0%) used ultraviolet germicidal irradiation and indicated mask deterioration between 2 and 10 cycles, 4 (40.0%) used hydrogen peroxide vapor, and seal loss varied from 5 to 20 cycles, 4 (33.3%) evaluated the structural integrity of the N95 mask through visual inspection and 6 (54.4%), its filtration efficiency.

There is no commercial treatment for neosporosis, and drug repositioning is a fast strategy to test possible candidates against N. caninum. In this article, we describe the effects of atovaquone, chloroquine, quinine, primaquine and tetracycline on N. caninum proliferation. The IC50 concentrations in N. caninum were compared to the current information based on previous studies for Plasmodium and Toxoplasma gondii, correlating to the described mechanisms of action of each tested drug. The inhibitory patterns indicate similarities and differences among N. caninum, Plasmodium and T. gondii. For example, atovaquone demonstrates high antiparasitic activity in all the analyzed models, while chloroquine does not inhibit N. caninum. On the other hand, tetracycline is effective against Plasmodium and N. caninum, despite its low activity in T. gondii models. The repurposing of antimalarial drugs in N. caninum is a fast and inexpensive way to develop novel formulations using well-established compounds.Using wire mesh live traps distribution pattern of the Rattus rattus and Mus musculus in different shops of three districts of Malakand region, Pakistan were recorded from September 2014 to October 2015. Over all 103 rodents (Rattus rattus 86 and Mus musculus 17) were caught during in 0.04 trap success (2448 trap nights). Regression of daily captures on cumulative captures revealed an estimate of 103 rodents from all the sampled structures with an average of 3.55 rodents per shop. R. rattus; 83.4% of captures were numerically dominant in almost all types of shops sampled, and were significantly different than Mus musculus; 16.5% of captures. Both species were found together in some shops while they were mostly trapped from the separate shops. Male rodents outnumbered the females.Malakand region is an endemic area for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). However, there are limited number of studies of this disease in Pakistan. Therefore, a study was conducted to understand the level of awareness attitude and practice among the residents of Makaland towards CL and the disease vectors. This study adopted a cross-sectional approach with a total of 400 respondents (n=93 rural and n= 307 urban). Overall, the population in Malakand region (61.2%) were well-informed in the role of sand fly in transmitting diseases, but most lack knowledge on the vector's behavior and almost a quarter (24.5%) were unable to provide knowledge on proper control measures. Alarmingly, the practice and attitudes of the general population was not satisfactory as close to half (49.8%) of the population did adopt any control method. This study calls for increase in awareness through health education campaign to reduce the risk of cutaneous leishmaniasis outbreaks in the future.Plectranthus barbatus Andrews (Lamiaceae) is widely distributed in the world and has a range of popular therapeutic indications. This work aimed to evaluate the phytochemical characterization of two leaf extracts of P. barbatus, and their antimicrobial, antineoplastic and immunomodulatory potential. After collection, herborization and obtainment of the P. barbatus aqueous extract (PBA) and acetonewater 73 P. barbatus organic extract (PBO), the phytochemical characterization was performed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Epacadostat The antimicrobial activity was performed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against eight bacterial strains using the microdilution test and the fungus Trichophyton rubrum by disc diffusion assay and microdilution test.
