Abstract
HIV infection causes a constant activation of the immune system and contributes to an enhanced systemic pro-inflammatory cytokine milieu, which has been associated with premature aging and frailty. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to analyze whether the HIV-1 RNA load, CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts and exposure to HAART in HIV-positive subjects are associated with frailty phenotype. Searches were performed in PubMed, SCOPUS, Lilacs, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and OpenThesis databases. We used the odds ratio as a measure of the association. We used either a fixed or random-effects model to pool the results of individual studies depending on the presence of heterogeneity. Eleven studies were included in the review. Data from 8035 HIV-positive subjects were analyzed; 2413 of the subjects had viral load detectable, 981 had a CD4T-cell count <350 cells/μL, and 1342 had HAART exposure information. We found an association between frailty and CD4T-cell count <350 cells/μL (OR 2.68, CI 95% 1.68-4.26, I2 = 46%), HIV-1 RNA load detectable (OR 1.71, CI 95% 1.38-2.12, I2 = 0%), and protease inhibitor-containing HAART regimen (OR 2.21, CI 95% 1.26-3.89, I2 = 0%). Further studies are necessary to evaluate the effects of other factors on the development of clinical features related to frailty.

Abstract
There is a lack of real-world surveillance studies on reports of adverse events associated with COVID-19 vaccination, as well as comparative analyses of adverse events from vaccines with different platforms. This observational, descriptive, retrospective study based on secondary data describes the adverse events following immunization (AEFIs) related to the first 145 000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines delivered in Aracaju municipality, Sergipe state, northeast Brazil. Records of AEFIs were collected using the e-SUS Notifica database for January 19 to April 30, 2021. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for AEFIs and the type of COVID-19 vaccine, either CoronaVac (Sinovac–Butantan) or Oxford–AstraZeneca (Fiocruz). A total of 474 AEFIs (32.7 events/10 000 doses) from 254 individuals were reported and analyzed, and all of them were classified as non-serious. There was an association between the use of the CoronaVac vaccine and headache (OR = 2.1; 95% CI: 1.4–3.2), pain at the injection site (OR = 9.6; 95% CI: 3.9–23.8), lethargy (OR = 5.2; 95% CI: 1.8–14.8), fatigue (OR = 10.1; 95% CI: 2.4–42.3), diarrhea (OR = 4.4; 95% CI: 1.5–12.5) and cold-like symptoms (OR = 8.0; 95% CI: 1.9–34.0). However, the proportion of individuals reporting fever was higher among those who received the Oxford–AstraZeneca vaccine (OR = 3.1; 95% CI 1.5–6.4). This population-based observational study strengthens the evidence for the safety and tolerability of the CoronaVac and Oxford–AstraZeneca vaccines used against COVID-19.

Abstract
Visceral leishmaniasis is a severe disease caused by protozoan parasites that include Leishmania (L.) infantum. The disease is established when parasites subvert the immune response of the host. Notably, chemotherapy-based use of antimonial compounds can partially alleviate disease burden. Unfortunately, the resistance to drug treatments is increasing in areas endemic to the disease. In this report, we investigated immune responses within macrophages infected with antimony-resistant L. infantum isolates from patients with a relapse in the disease. Results revealed that antimony-resistant parasites persist in the first 24 h of infection. Activation of macrophage or blocking of thiol production during infection shows enhanced clearance of parasites, which is coordinately associated with increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Taken together, these results suggest that the mechanism of antimony resistance in L. infantum isolates may be related to a decrease in macrophage microbicidal functions.

Abstract
Telomere shortening has been proposed as a potentially useful biomarker of human ageing and age-related morbidity and mortality. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize results from individual studies on the telomere length according to the frailty status and frailty index in older adults. We searched the PubMed, SCOPUS and Web of Science databases to identify studies that evaluated the telomere length in frail and non-frail older adults and the relationship between telomere length and frailty index score. We used the base pairs (bp) as a measure of the telomere length. Summary estimates were calculated using random-effects models. Nine studies were included in the present systematic review and a total of 10,079 older adults were analyzed. We found that the frail older adults (n = 355) had shorter telomeres than the non-frail (n = 1894) (Standardized Mean Difference [SMD] -0.41; 95% CI -0.73 to -0.09; P = 0.01; I2 = 82%). Significant differences in telomere length between frail and non-frail older adults were identified in Hispanic (SMD -1.31; 95% CI -1.71 to -0.92; P < 0.0001; I2 = 0%) but not in Non-Hispanic countries (SMD -0.13; 95% CI -0.26 to 0.00; P = 0.06; I2 = 0%). Similar results were found in the adjusted meta-analysis (SMD -0.56; 95% -1.12 to 0.00; P = 0.05; I2 = 85%). A significant but weak relationship was found between telomere length and frailty index analyzing 8244 individuals (SMD -0.06; 95% IC -0.10 to 0.01; P = 0.01; I2 = 0%). The current available evidence suggests that telomere length may be not a meaningful biomarker for frailty. Because the potential influence of ethnicity in shortening of telomeres and decline in physiologic reserves associated with aging, additional multiethnic studies are needed.

Introdução: O contato extracurricular com a pesquisa científica pode ajudar a melhorar as habilidades dos alunos e são muitos os potenciais influenciadores na adesão dos estudantes. Objetivo: Identificar níveis de conhecimento científico e atitudes científicas de estudantes de medicina bem como as principais barreiras para a prática científica. Casuística e Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado com acadêmicos de medicina do Campus Prof. Antônio Garcia Filho da Universidade Federal de Sergipe, Brasil. Aplicaram-se questionários validados a 90 estudantes que em seguida, foram agrupados em quatro classificações (não envolvidos em projetos; envolvidos em extensão; envolvidos em pesquisa e envolvidos em ambos (pesquisa e extensão). Resultados: Parcela significativa dos estudantes envolveu-se com projetos de pesquisa e extensão (43,33%) e as médias gerais de atitude e conhecimento científicos foram moderadas (56,85 ± 14,35; 47,28 ± 16,69). Os grupos de estudantes que participaram de pesquisa junto com extensão, apresentaram maiores pontuações de atitude científica (63,10 ± 13,69) e o conhecimento científico de todos os grupos foi similar. As barreiras, para a prática científica, mais citadas foram a falta de estrutura (73,33%), de tempo (70%), de orientação (67,78%), o foco nas atividades curriculares (54,44%) e falta de familiaridade com estatística (50%). Conclusão: Estudantes que apresentavam contato com pesquisa cientifica e extensão apresentaram atitudes mais positivas para pesquisa, demonstrando a importância do estímulo a essa prática. As barreiras, para as práticas científicas, mostraram-se similares à literatura mundial, mostrando que devem ser feitas medidas para reduzi-las e estimular a prática científica.

Abstract
Frailty is an emerging geriatric syndrome characterized by decreased physiologic reserve and increased vulnerability to environmental factors. Several studies have examined the association between persistent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and poor clinical outcomes in the elderly, but the results are often contradictory. Here, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to analyze the association between human herpesvirus seropositivity [CMV, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Varicella zoster virus (VZV), and Herpes simplex virus (HSV)] and frailty in elderly people. Searches were performed in PubMed, SCOPUS, Lilacs, IBECS, and Web of Science databases. We used the odds ratio (OR) as a measure of the association between herpesvirus infections and frailty. Summary estimates were calculated using random-effects models. Six studies were included in the present systematic review. The data from 2559 elderly subjects were analyzed; 1571 of the subjects had ages between 60 and 79 years, and 988 of the subjects were older than 80. We found an association between CMV seropositivity and frailty in the elderly aged 60-79 years (OR 2.33, CI 95% 1.48-3.67) but not in the oldest-old subjects (OR 0.67, CI 95% 0.42-1.05). Moreover, no association was found between EBV, VZV, and HSV infections and frailty. Current evidence suggests an association between CMV seropositivity and frailty in individuals aged 60-79 years old.

Abstract
A automedicação pode trazer sérios danos ao bem estar do indivíduo, uma vez que esta prática pode mascarar a apresentação clínica da doença de base e retardar o seu diagnóstico, já que o tratamento visa somente o alívio dos sintomas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a prevalência da automedicação, seus fatores condicionantes, identificar os principais fármacos não prescritos utilizados e os sintomas que motivaram sua utilização pela população urbana da cidade de Frei Paulo-SE. Neste estudo observacional, descritivo e transversal foram entrevistadas 186 pessoas com idade entre 18-80 anos. Na população entrevistada foi observado que 97,30% dos indivíduos praticam a automedicação, e aproximadamente 71% afirmaram não possuir obstáculos para a compra de medicamentos. Os grupos de fármacos mais utilizados foram os analgésicos e antitérmicos (86,74%), seguidos por xaropes antitussígenos (71,27%). Cerca de 10% dos entrevistados relataram uso de antibióticos sem prescrição. Os principais sintomas que levaram ao consumo de tais medicamentos foram cefaleia (83,43%), seguida por sintomas de gripe ou resfriado (76,24%). Por fim, foi observado que 49% das pessoas não possuíam justificativa para esta prática. Desta forma, constatou-se que a prática da automedicação é comum na população deste município, e que muitos dos praticantes não encontraram obstáculos para a compra de fármacos. Assim sendo, é necessário o desenvolvimento de atividades educativas que busquem a conscientização da população envolvida, pois esta é uma prática potencialmente danosa à saúde.

Introdução: Atividades extracurriculares como a pesquisa podem ajudar a melhorar as habilidades dos alunos. Objetivo: Identificar o conhecimento científico e atitudes científicas de estudantes da área de saúde. Casuística e Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado com estudantes de cursos da área de saúde da Universidade Federal de Sergipe que utiliza metodologia ativa de ensino. Um questionário validado foi aplicado a 162 estudantes e após, foram estratificados em quatro diferentes grupos (não envolvidos em projetos; envolvidos em extensão; envolvidos em pesquisa e envolvidos em ambos (pesquisa e extensão). Resultados: A maioria estava envolvida em projetos de pesquisa e extensão (35,8%) e no geral, os alunos apresentaram níveis moderados de conhecimento científico (42,04%) e atitudes científicas (56,56%). Na avaliação do conhecimento científico entre os diferentes grupos, não foi observado diferenças significativas. Contudo, os envolvidos em projetos de pesquisa (62,99; p<0,001) e em pesquisa e extensão (62,04; p<0,05) apresentaram maiores médias comparados com os não envolvidos (51,99%). Ao contrário dos dois primeiros, os estudantes que participaram somente de extensão, apresentaram atitudes científicas similares à dos que não participaram de atividades extracurriculares. Na área da escrita científica, o grupo de alunos envolvidos em pesquisa e extensão apresentou maior percentual de artigos científicos. Conclusão: Identificou-se um nível moderado de conhecimento científico e atitudes científicas entre os alunos. No entanto, os participantes de projetos de pesquisa ou de pesquisa e extensão apresentaram melhores atitudes científicas, comprovando-se a importância dessas atividades durante a graduação.
