Background: During COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers (HCWs) have had high workload and have been exposed to multiple psychosocial stressors. The aim of this study was to evaluate HCWs in terms of the relative contributions of socio-demographic and mental health variables on three burnout dimensions: personal, work-related, and client-related burnout.Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed using an online questionnaire spread via social networks. A snowball technique supported by health care institutions and professional organizations was applied. Results: A total of 2008 subjects completed the survey. Gender, parental status, marriage status, and salary reduction were found to be significant factors for personal burnout. Health problems and direct contact with infected people were significantly associated with more susceptibility to high personal and work-related burnout. Frontline working positions were associated with all three dimensions. Higher levels of stress and depression in HCWs were significantly associated with increased levels of all burnout dimensions. Higher levels of satisfaction with life and resilience were significantly associated with lower levels of all burnout dimensions. Conclusions: All three burnout dimensions were associated with a specific set of covariates. Consideration of these three dimensions is important when designing future burnout prevention programs for HCWs.

Background: Student life during the university period is characterized by many changes in eating behaviors and dietary patterns due to adaptation to a new environment, study stress, lack of proper time management, and busy class schedules. These unhealthy actions may be detrimental to cognitive processing and influence academic performance, which is related to professional success. Aim: To assess different eating patterns in Portuguese university students and relate them to several sociodemographic variables. Methods: Cross-sectional information about eating behavior was assessed using the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire in 169 students between 18 and 50 years of age, from the Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias and from different academic courses, some related to health sciences. Mediterranean diet adherence was also assessed using a validated 14-item questionnaire. Results: According to the analyses of the 169 participants included in the sample, 33 presented restrained eating behavior, with 73 presenting external and 63 emotional. In the same line of thought, 62.10% of nutrition sciences students presented emotional eating behavior and overall it was observed that these students were more likely to have emotional eating behavior. Otherwise, presenting restrained eating behavior was statistically associated with being older and having higher Mediterranean diet adherence. Conclusions: Studying nutrition sciences was associated with having emotional eating behavior. Older students and those who adhere more closely to the Mediterranean diet were associated with having restrained eating behavior.

-Encontrou-se como consenso o fato de que a combinação de deficiências nutricionais no pré-operatório, as restrições e má absorção induzidas pela cirurgia bariátrica podem levar a importante déficits nutricionais durante o período pós-operatório tardio, principalmente de micronutrientes, resultando em complicações graves. Conclusão: A alta ocorrência de deficiência de micronutrientes no pré-operatório detectada em obesos mórbidos candidatos à cirurgia bariátrica, somado a um processo disabsortivo, pode envolver pior prognóstico durante o período pós-operatório tardio. Avaliação pré-operatória dos parâmetros nutricionais e da ingestão de alimentos é recomendado em conjunto com as intervenções.

Introdução: Pacientes em hemodiálise (HD) apresentam uma alta prevalência de desnutrição energético-proteica (DEP) e várias são as causas apontadas para essa DEP. Por outro lado, valores indicativos de sobrepeso e obesidade vêm aumentando na população em geral o que se reflete nos indivíduos com doença renal crônica (DRC). A caracterização do estado nutricional é fundamental para portadores de DRC. Entretanto, a determinação do diagnostico nutricional desses pacientes permanece um desafio aos profissionais de saúde. Objetivo: Determinar o estado nutricional de pacientes renais crônicos em tratamento hemodialítico e investigar as possíveis associações entre a ingestão dietética de macronutrientes e o estado nutricional. Metodologia: Foram envolvidos no estudo 49 pacientes em tratamento hemodialítico no serviço de nefrologia do Instituto de Medicina Integral Professor Fernando Figueira (IMIP). Para determinação do estado nutricional foram utilizadas medidas antropométricas (peso seco, altura, índice de massa corporal (IMC), circunferência de braço (CB), dobra cutânea triciptal (DCT),

a b s t r a c tEffects of treatment with the bark flour of Passiflora edulis Sims, Passifloraceae, were evaluated. Adult male Wistar rats were treated for 30 days (130 mg/kg, p.o.) with the albedo flour, flavedo and full bark of P. edulis, corresponding to albedo associated with flavedo. Behavioral response observed after treatment with bark flour P. edulis showed sedative effects by the reduction of exploratory activity and increased duration of immobility in the open field test for the group of animals that received the albedo flour associated with the flavedo. Sedative effects were observed in the absence of motor incoordination or muscle relaxation. Food intake of experimental animals was not changed, but the weight gain was decreased both in animals that received only albedo flour, and in those who received the full bark flour. The full bark flour of Passiflora showed sedative effects, without anxiolytic effect detectable and muscle relaxation or motor incoordination, and reduces body weight gain.
