A variety of pneumonia cases of unknown cause emerged in China in December 2019. A new virus belonging to the Coronaviridae family, called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes coronavirus disease 2019 . Within a few days, COVID-19 became a pandemic disease. This review aimed to investigate the possible implications of COVID-19 for human reproductive systems, as in previous studies ACE2 was highly expressed in some organs of these systems, such as the testicles. A total of 41 publications were found in the specialized databases and, after selection, 7 articles were used to build this study. Our results showed that the fever caused by COVID-19 has a negative effect on spermatogenesis, there is high expression of ACE2 in the testicles and in the uterine tubes and there is a higher level of transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2), which is also responsible for the entry of the virus into the cell. Moreover, it was noted that there was viral genetic material in the semen and an increase in the serum concentration of luteinizing hormone (LH) in men and women, which

Objetivo: Analisar a eficácia da Fisioterapia na ansiedade de indivíduos com fibromialgia, por meio de uma revisão sistemática. Métodos: Revisão sistemática, a partir do fluxograma PRISMA, incluindo estudos quantitativos primários experimentais, artigos de livre acesso, disponíveis em português, inglês e espanhol, publicados entre 2015 e 2019, utilizando a estratégia PICOS por meio do site parsif.al®. Foram encontrados 168 artigos durante os meses de junho e julho de 2019, mediante as bases Lilacs, Scielo, Pubmed, MedLine, PeDro, Cochrane, Science direct e Google acadêmico. Para avaliar a qualidade dos ensaios clínicos randomizados, utilizou-se a Escala de Jadad. Resultados: Foram incluídos 24 estudos, dos quais 15 compuseram a amostra final. As pesquisas trazem que a partir da diminuição dos sintomas físicos nos pacientes com fibromialgia, as complicações mentais, como os níveis de ansiedade, sofrem reduções. Considerações finais: Esta revisão identificou que a combinação de diferentes intervenções fornecidas individualmente ou em grupo a pacientes adultos com fibromialgia exerce influência na redução de complicações sintomatológicas, melhorando os níveis de ansiedade.

To analyze the incidence and lethality of COVID-19 in Brazil, through a historical series. Methods: Retrospective ecological study carried out by analyzing biweekly time series with secondary data from Brazilian regions and states, was on the state and integral health sites of the State of Health and IntegraSUS, related to SARS-CoV disease, from March to May 2020. Results: All states showed an increasing incidence trend, except Ceará. The highest lethality found was from Piauí. However, in the last analyzed period, the states of Rio de Janeiro, Pernambuco, São Paulo and Ceará stood out. The North had an increased incidence in relation to the others and the Southeast had the highest lethality rate. Conclusion: There was an increasing trend in incidence in all states, except Ceará. Piauí had the highest lethality coefficient. Considering the regions, the North showed an increasing trend in incidence and lethality was higher in the Southeast.
