Title A name given to the resource Psycho-Neuroendocrine-Immune Interactions in COVID-19: Potential Impacts on Mental Health Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Wilson Savino, Elizabeth Giestal de Araujo, Pablo Pandolfo, Ícaro Raony, Camila Saggioro de Figueiredo, Priscilla Oliveira-Silva Bomfim Description An account of the resource Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The impacts of the disease may be beyond the respiratory system, also affecting mental health. Several factors may be involved in the association between COVID-19 and psychiatric outcomes, such as fear inherent in the pandemic, adverse effects of treatments, as well as financial stress, and social isolation. Herein we discuss the growing evidence suggesting that the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 and host may also trigger changes in brain and behavior. Based on the similarity of SARS-CoV-2 with other coronaviruses, it is conceivable that changes in endocrine and immune response in the periphery or in the central nervous system may be involved in the association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and impaired mental health. This is likely to be further enhanced, since millions of people worldwide are isolated in quarantine to minimize the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and social isolation can also lead to neuroendocrine-immune changes. Accordingly, we highlight here the hypothesis that neuroendocrine-immune interactions may be involved in negative impacts of SARS-CoV-2 infection and social isolation on psychiatric issues.

Title A name given to the resource Protagonismo político-institucional do Supremo Tribunal Federal e Covid-19: uma conjectura a partir da ADPF 669 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Wilson Steinmetz Description An account of the resource Este estudo tem por objeto a medida cautelar concedida pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal na ADPF 669 que suspendeu a campanha publicitária “O Brasil Não Pode Parar”. Analisam-se e discutem-se o atendimento do requisito da subsidiariedade da ADPF no caso e a existência do fato impugnado. A concessão de medida cautelar para proteger direitos e bens que já estavam protegidos por tutela de urgência deferida pela Justiça Federal do Rio de Janeiro em ação civil pública indica que o Supremo Tribunal Federal, no enfrentamento de casos relativos à Covid-19, pretendeu assumir um papel de protagonista político-institucional. A hipótese é de que essa orientação foi tomada de forma deliberada pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal ante a existência de visões e abordagens conflitantes no campo das decisões políticas, especialmente do Poder Executivo das três esferas da Federação, no enfrentamento da Covid-19. O estudo tem caráter heurístico e conjectural em direção de novos estudos que tenham por objeto o conjunto das decisões do Supremo Tribunal nos casos relativos à Covid-19.

Title A name given to the resource Overweight and obesity of school-age children in El Salvador according to two international systems: a population-based multilevel and spatial analysis Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Wilton Pérez, Paul Melgar, Ana Garcés, Ana Daysi de Marquez, Gerardo Merino, Carolina Siu Description An account of the resource Abstract Background The World Health Organization (WHO-2007) and the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF-Cole) systems assess child weight status. However, derived estimations often differ. We aimed to a) compare the prevalence of overweight and obesity, b) analyze individual and contextual factors associated with child weight using multilevel analysis and c) explore the spatial distribution of overweight and obesity using both classification systems. Methods We used data from the 2015/2016 National School Height and Weight Census in El Salvador. Information on 111,991 children aged 6.0–9.9 years attending the first grade was analyzed. Body mass index Z-score (BMIZ), overweight and obesity were defined with both classification systems. Weighted kappa was used to measure agreement. Child, school and municipal potential determinants of BMIZ were examined by multilevel analysis. Municipal spatial clustering of overweight and obesity was tested using Moran’s Index and Getis-ord Gi* statistics. Results The combined prevalence of overweight and obesity was higher according to the WHO system than the IOTF (30.4% vs 23.1%). The weighted kappa was 0.83. Boys, children attending urban schools, children attending private schools, and children residing in municipalities with high human development index had higher BMIZ than their counterparts. The Moran’s indexes were positives and significant. Clusters of high prevalence (above the national prevalence) of overweight and obesity were found in 29 municipalities using the WHO and IOTF systems. For obesity, 28 and 23 municipalities in clusters of high prevalence were detected using the WHO and IOTF criteria, respectively. Conclusions Overweight and obesity is high among school-age children in El Salvador. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was higher when using the WHO system, as compared to the IOTF system. Irrespective of the classification system, the multilevel and spatial analysis derived similar interpretations. These results support the need for national preventive interventions with targeting strategies to reduce overweight and obesity in school-age children.

Title A name given to the resource Social, ethical and behavioural aspects of COVID-19 [version 2; peer review: 2 approved] Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Wirichada Pan-ngum, Tassawan Poomchaichote, Giulia Cuman, Phee-Kheng Cheah, Naomi Waithira, Mavuto Mukaka, Bhensri Naemiratch, Natinee Kulpijit, Rita Chanviriyavuth, Supa-at Asarath, Supanat Ruangkajorn, Margherita Silan, Silvia Stoppa, Gianpiero Della Zuanna, Darlene Ongkili, Phaik Kin Cheah, Anne Osterrieder, Mira Schneiders, Constance R.S. Mackworth-Young, Phaik Yeong Cheah Description An account of the resource Introduction: Vaccines and drugs for the treatment and prevention of COVID-19 require robust evidence generated from clinical trials before they can be used. Decisions on how to apply non-pharmaceutical interventions such as quarantine, self-isolation, social distancing and travel restrictions should also be based on evidence. There are some experiential and mathematical modelling data for these interventions, but there is a lack of data on the social, ethical and behavioural aspects of these interventions in the literature. Therefore, our study aims to produce evidence to inform (non-pharmaceutical) interventions such as communications, quarantine, self-isolation, social distancing, travel restrictions and other public health measures for the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The study will be conducted in the United Kingdom, Italy, Malaysia, Slovenia and Thailand. We propose to conduct 600-1000 quantitative surveys and 25-35 qualitative interviews per country. Data collection will follow the following four themes: (1) Quarantine and self-isolation (2) social distancing and travel restrictions (3) wellbeing and mental health (4) information, misinformation and rumours. In light of limitations of travel and holding in-person meetings, we will primarily use online/remote methods for collecting data. Study participants will be adults who have provided informed consent from different demographic, socio-economic and risk groups. Discussion: At the time of the inception of the study, United Kingdom, Italy, Malaysia, Slovenia and Thailand have initiated strict public health measures and varying degrees of “lockdowns” to curb the pandemic. These public health measures will change in the coming weeks and months depending on the number of cases of COVID-19 in the respective countries. The data generated from our study could inform these strategies in real time.

Title A name given to the resource The use of the new base gel in Hospital Recipe’s practice. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Witold Stefan Jucha, Barbara Pandyra - Kowalska Description An account of the resource Semi-solid preparations for application to skin - including ointments - are one of the most commonly prescribed by doctors as well as made in pharmacies nowadays. Due to the registration of new raw materials (for compounding) in the form of gels in the Polish market, new possibilities are opening up for the preparation of prescription drugs while gels formulations have been widely used in Europe for some time. The gel form is defined in the Polish Pharmacopoeia XI as the substrate consisting of gel liquids with appropriate gelling substances. The gels have been divided into lipophilic (oleogels) and hydrophilic gels (hydrogels). A thriving compounding section of the pharmacy in the University Hospital in Krakow is an excellent intellectual and technological base of the production of new formulations of prescription drugs. They have already gained extensive experience working in the preparation of drugs based on new gel substrate (Celugel, Oleogel) as preparations for external and internal use have been made there. The characteristics of a hydrogel-like substrate: composition (water, HEC, glycerol, preservatives); the characteristics of its properties: form, consistency, possibility of combining with ethanol, intended use depending on the skin type and there is also possibility and conditions of sterilization. The characteristics of an oleogel substrate: composition (liquid paraffin, polyethylene); characteristics of its properties: form, consistency, intended use depending on the skin type. There are numerous examples of various prescription compositions that are produced in the hospital pharmacy, also during in the era of coronavirus when the need for systematic hand disinfection and wearing gloves gave rise to a number of skin problems: examples and methods of preparing prescription compositions using Celugel for the skin such as disinfecting-protective gel, anti-itch gel, acne gel, demodicosis gels with antibiotics and many others; examples of ENT and dental preparations; examples of prescription compositions using Oleogel such as bedsores care preparations, vitamin gels, preparations for psoriasis and others.

Title A name given to the resource Effect of Reading Rehabilitation for Age-Related Macular Degeneration on Cognitive Functioning: Protocol for a Nonrandomized Pre-Post Intervention Study Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Wittich, Walter, Pichora-Fuller, M Kathleen, Johnson, Aaron, Joubert, Sven, Kehayia, Eva, Bachir, Vanessa, Aubin, Gabrielle, Jaiswal, Atul, Phillips, Natalie Description An account of the resource BackgroundAge-related vision impairments and dementia both become more prevalent with increasing age. Research into the mechanisms of these conditions has proposed that some of their causes (eg, macular degeneration/glaucoma and Alzheimer’s disease) could be symptoms of an underlying common cause. Research into sensory-cognitive aging has provided data that sensory decline may be linked to the progression of dementia through reduced sensory stimulation. While hearing loss rehabilitation may have a beneficial effect on cognitive functioning, there are no data available on whether low vision rehabilitation, specifically for reading, could have a beneficial effect on cognitive health. ObjectiveThe research questions are: (1) Does low vision rehabilitation reduce reading effort? (2) If so, does reduced reading effort increase reading activity, and (3) If so, does increased reading activity improve cognitive functioning? The primary objective is to evaluate cognition before, as well as at 6 months and 12 months after, 3 weeks of low vision reading rehabilitation using magnification in individuals with age-related macular degeneration, with or without coexisting hearing impairments. We hypothesize that improvements postrehab will be observed at 6 months and maintained at 12 months for participants with vision loss and less so for those with dual sensory loss. The secondary objective is to correlate participant characteristics with all cognitive outcomes to identify which may play an important role in reading rehabilitation. MethodsWe employ a quasiexperimental approach (nonrandomized, pre-post intervention study). A 3x3 design (3 groups x 3 time points) allows us to examine whether cognitive performance will change before and after 6 months and 12 months of a low vision reading intervention, when comparing 75 low vision and 75 dual sensory impaired (vision & hearing) participants to 75 age-matched healthy controls. The study includes outcome measures of vision (eg, reading acuity and speed), cognition (eg, short-term and long-term memory, processing speed), participant descriptors, demographics, and clinical data (eg, speech perception in noise, mental health). ResultsThe study has received approval, and recruitment began on April 24, 2019. As of March 4, 2021, 38 low vision and 7 control participants have been enrolled. Lockdown forced a pause in recruitment, which will recommence once the COVID-19 crisis has reached a point where face-to-face data collection with older adults becomes feasible again. ConclusionsEvidence of protective effects caused by reading rehabilitation will have a considerable impact on the vision rehabilitation community and their clients as well as all professionals involved in the care of older adults with or without dementia. If we demonstrate that reading rehabilitation has a beneficial effect on cognition, the demand for rehabilitation services will increase, potentially preventing cognitive decline across groups of older adults at risk of developing macular degeneration.

Title A name given to the resource Can Stem Cells Beat COVID-19: Advancing Stem Cells and Extracellular Vesicles Toward Mainstream Medicine for Lung Injuries Associated With SARS-CoV-2 Infections Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Wojciech Chrzanowski, Lana McClements, Sally Yunsun Kim Description An account of the resource A number of medicines are currently under investigation for the treatment of COVID-19 disease including anti-viral, anti-malarial, and anti-inflammatory agents. While these treatments can improve patient's recovery and survival, these therapeutic strategies do not lead to unequivocal restoration of the lung damage inflicted by this disease. Stem cell therapies and, more recently, their secreted extracellular vesicles (EVs), are emerging as new promising treatments, which could attenuate inflammation but also regenerate the lung damage caused by COVID-19. Stem cells exert their immunomodulatory, anti-oxidant, and reparative therapeutic effects likely through their EVs, and therefore, could be beneficial, alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents, in people with COVID-19. In this review article, we outline the mechanisms of cytokine storm and lung damage caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus leading to COVID-19 disease and how mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their secreted EVs can be utilized to tackle this damage by harnessing their regenerative properties, which gives them potential enhanced clinical utility compared to other investigated pharmacological treatments. There are currently 17 clinical trials evaluating the therapeutic potential of MSCs for the treatment of COVID-19, the majority of which are administered intravenously with only one clinical trial testing MSC-derived exosomes via inhalation route. While we wait for the outcomes from these trials to be reported, here we emphasize opportunities and risks associated with these therapies, as well as delineate the major roadblocks to progressing these promising curative therapies toward mainstream treatment for COVID-19.

MATERIAL AND METHODS There were 189 patients who underwent the qualification procedure to lung transplantation in the Department of Cardiac and Vascular Surgery of the University Clinical Center in Gdańsk, Poland in the years 2019 and 2020. The control group consisted of 12 patients transplanted in 2019, and the study group consisted of 16 patients transplanted in 2020. RESULTS During 2019, the qualification process was performed in 102 patients with pulmonary end-stage diseases. In 2020, despite the 3-month lockdown related to organizational changes in the hospital, 87 qualification processes were performed. The mortality rate of patients on the waiting list in 2020 was 14.3% (6 patients died), and during 2019 the rate was also 14.3% (4 patients died). Donor qualifications were according to ISHLT criteria. The distribution of donors in both years was similar. There was no relationship between the geographic area of residence and source of donors. In 2019, all 12 patients had double-lung transplant. In 2020, 11 patients had double-lung transplant and 5 patients had single-lung transplant. There was no difference in ventilation time and PGD aside from a shorter ICU stay in 2020. CONCLUSIONS Lung transplants were relatively well-conducted despite the continued obstacles of the COVID-19 pandemic.
