Abstract
The emergence and reemergence of mosquito-borne diseases in Brazil such as yellow fever, zika, chikungunya, and dengue have had serious impacts on public health. Concerns have been raised due to the rapid dissemination of the chikungunya virus across the country since its first detection in 2014 in Northeast Brazil. In this work, we carried out on-site training activities in genomic surveillance in partnership with the National Network of Public Health Laboratories that have led to the generation of 422 chikungunya virus genomes from 12 Brazilian states over the past two years (2021-2022), a period that has seen more than 312 thousand chikungunya fever cases reported in the country. These genomes increased the amount of available data and allowed a more comprehensive characterization of the dispersal dynamics of the chikungunya virus East-Central-South-African lineage in Brazil. Tree branching patterns revealed the emergence and expansion of two distinct subclades. Phylogeographic analysis indicated that the northeast region has been the leading hub of virus spread towards other regions. Increased frequency of C > T transitions among the new genomes suggested that host restriction factors from the immune system such as ADAR and AID/APOBEC deaminases might be driving the genetic diversity of the chikungunya virus in Brazil.

Abstract
There were three purposes to this research. First, we sought to test the differential role of harmonious and obsessive passion in predicting intention and habit for exercise. The second goal of this research was to test the associations between intention, habit and exercise frequency. Last, the third goal was to assess the mediation role of intention and habit in the relationship between both forms of passion and exercise frequency. The sample consisted of 284 participants (140 males, 144 females) aged 18-60 years old (M age = 29.81, SD = 9.16). Regression paths of the structural model indicated significant associations: a) harmonious passion was significantly associated with intentions and habit; b) obsessive passion was significantly associated with habit; c) intentions and habit were significantly associated with exercise frequency. The mediation model variance explained was 17% (p < .001). The total effect via harmonious and obsessive passion was β = .57 (IC95% = .42, .73) and the total indirect effect was β = .11 (IC95% = .02, .24). Having harmonious passion for a fitness activity appears to have the potential to increase regular physical activity among exercisers. Individuals who recognize the significance of physical exercise and participate in activities they enjoy the most can affirm the positive effects on their health from being active.

Abstract
The present study explored the mediation role of past exercise adherence, self-reported frequency and intentions in the association between past experience and future exercise adherence. In total, 431 exercisers (female = 216; male = 215) aged 18 and 64 years, engaged in fitness activities such as group fitness classes and resistance training, were included in the analysis. Serial mediation procedures were employed to examine the direct, indirect, and total indirect effects among variables. The predictor variable and all mediators displayed a positive and significant association with future six-month adherence. Past six-month exercise adherence displayed the most significant association with future six-month adherence. The sequential indirect path from exercise experience → past six-months adherence → self-reported frequency → intentions future six-months adherence displayed a positive and significant effect (β = .19 [CI95% = .09, .31]), presenting a partial mediation effect. Past behaviour is the most significant predictor of future adherence, and thus interventions should be based on promoting consistent exercise frequency. Professionals working in the fitness centre context can identify possible dropouts based on their past behaviour and intentions to be physically active in the future.

Abstract
Introduction
Catatonia is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by motor, behavioral and autonomic changes. It is associated with several psychiatric disorders, including dementia. Catatonia is an underdiagnosed syndrome, so it is important to draw attention to it. Here, we review a case of a patient admitted to our psychiatric department with a clinical presentation compatible with catatonia. After proper treatment, further assessment revealed dementia.
Objectives
This work aims to describe a case of catatonia in a patient with dementia.
Methods
Bibliographic research using Pubmed®. Clinical file consultation and patient interviews.
Results
Catatonia is a disorder that was already been described as part of several types of dementia. We present a 69-year-old female patient, admitted to our psychiatric department with clinical presentation compatible with catatonia. To admission, she presented some typical complications resulting from long immobility such as pressure ulcers and nutritional deficiencies. During the hospitalization, she developed a urinary infection and there was the need to tube feeding. She was treated with benzodiazepines and improved. Further assessment revealed dementia.
Conclusions
Catatonia in dementia is not uncommon, although it is an underdiagnosed syndrome, and when treated early and properly it has a good prognosis.
Disclosure
No significant relationships.

Abstract
Introduction
Currently, there is scientific evidence supporting the relationship between socio-environmental factors and the onset of a first episode of psychosis (FEP). In this context, the phenomenon of migration, seen as a negative life experience, may become an important risk factor in developing a psychotic disorder (PD). In Europe, the impact of this phenomenon is growing and, therefore, it’s necessary to provide a proper answer to these individual’s mental health problems. Objectives Identify which phases of this migration process are most important in the development of a FEP and what are the more significant socio-environmental factors in each phase. Methods Bibliographic research in Pubmed database using the terms “Migration” and “First Episode Psychosis”. Results
Research confirms that migrants have a 2 to 3-fold increased risk of developing a PD. This risk will be even higher in the refugee population. Pre- and post-migration factors demonstrated to be more important than factors related with the migration process itself. In the pre-migration phase highlight factors like the lower parental social class and a previous trauma. In the post-migration phase highlight factors like discrimination, social disadvantage and a mismatch between expectations and reality. Conclusions
Literature is unanimous in considering migrant status as an independent risk factor for the development of FEP, possibly due to the outsider’s role in society. Thus, despite the growing interest in Biological Psychiatry, this work demonstrates that socio-environmental factors are very preponderant in the development of these disorders and because of that further investigation is still necessary.

Abstract
Introduction Ketamine, synthesized in 1962 as phencyclidine derivate, is denominated a “dissociative anesthetic” because of its side-effects, such as dissociative episodes and psychotic-like symptoms, which have limited its applicability on clinical practice. Otherwise, in the last decades the non-medical use of ketamine has been growing and today is one of the most popular illicit substances consumed between adolescents and young adults. Objectives Increasing the knowledge and understanding of the factors related to crescent use of ketamine and the experiences and consequences associated to its consumption. Methods Clinical interview with patients diagnosed with ketamine use disorder and bibliographic research in Pubmed database using the terms “Ketamine use” and “Ketamine addiction”. Results Pat et al. (2002) describes a clinical case of a young male, diagnosed with substance use disorders, specifically alcohol and cocaine use disorders, that started a treatment with ketamine. After the treatment, pleasant depersonalization experiences contributed to the development of patient’s ketamine dependence. Other patient’s reports confirm the association of ketamine use with psychedelic effects and dissociative episodes and pointed these effects as main reason for its consumption. Conclusions The adverse effects that limited the medical use of ketamine are the same that promote its utilization with recreational purposes by adolescents and young adults in parties and nightclubs. About the ketamine dependence, the literature is scarce and doesn´t clearly identify a physical withdrawal syndrome, pointing only to a serious psychological dependence. Thus, with the crescent non-medical use of ketamine, it’s urgent to develop an intervention plan directed to this problem. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract
Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic represented a serious strain on the mental health resilience worldwide. Implementation of restrictive rules implied the disruption of social networks, eliciting emotional exhaustion and intense response to fear. This was amplified by media spread of panic and fake news, representing risk factors for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Fear can be dangerous, especially accounting premorbid psychopathological vulnerability, such as pathological personality traits. Emotional dysregulation increases fear levels, mediated by the relationship between emotional dysregulation and lack of tolerance. Objectives Clinical case presentation of patient who developed dissociative and behavioral symptoms following COVID-19 infection. Bibliographic research. Methods Bibliographic research using Pubmed®. Clinical file consultation and patient interviews. Results Heightened psychophysiological reactivity can result from the persistent fear experienced during a traumatic event and repeated memories related to it, leading to a sensitization of the response to fear. We present 57 year-old female patient, admitted to the COVID ward after trying to escape from home isolation due to positivity to COVID-19. In the hospital setting she developed dissociative symptoms, trying to escape from the ward and infect other people. Conclusions Intense fear responses to COVID-19 are likely explained by poor emotion regulation capacities as well as dissociative mechanisms. Studies have shown that this pandemic was experienced as a real traumatic event and some studies have found that it may lead to the development of PTSD. Pathological personality is positively related to PTSD symptoms, attributable to higher levels of mood instability, cognitive/perceptual disorders, interpersonal dysfunctions and negative affection. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nosocomial outbreaks of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) are frequent despite implementation of conventional infection control measures. An outbreak investigation was undertaken using advanced genomic and statistical techniques to reconstruct likely transmission chains and assess the role of healthcare workers (HCWs) in SARS-CoV-2 transmission. METHODS A nosocomial SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in a university-affiliated rehabilitation clinic was investigated, involving patients and HCWs, with high coverage of pathogen whole-genome sequences (WGS). The time-varying reproduction number from epidemiological data (Rt) was estimated, and maximum likelihood phylogeny was used to assess genetic diversity of the pathogen. Genomic and epidemiological data were combined into a Bayesian framework to model the directionality of transmission, and a case-control study was performed to investigate risk factors for nosocomial SARS-CoV-2 acquisition in patients. FINDINGS The outbreak lasted from 14th March to 12th April 2020, and involved 37 patients (31 with WGS) and 39 employees (31 with WGS), 37 of whom were HCWs. Peak Rt was estimated to be between 2.2 and 3.6. The phylogenetic tree showed very limited genetic diversity, with 60 of 62 (96.7%) isolates forming one large cluster of identical genomes. Despite the resulting uncertainty in reconstructed transmission events, the analyses suggest that HCWs (one of whom was the index case) played an essential role in cross-transmission, with a significantly greater fraction of infections (P<2.2e-16) attributable to HCWs (70.7%) than expected given the number of HCW cases (46.7%). The excess of transmission from HCWs was higher when considering infection of patients [79.0%; 95% confidence interval (CI) 78.5-79.5%] and frail patients (Clinical Frailty Scale score >5; 82.3%; 95% CI 81.8-83.4%). Furthermore, frail patients were found to be at greater risk for nosocomial COVID-19 than other patients (adjusted odds ratio 6.94, 95% CI 2.13-22.57). INTERPRETATION This outbreak report highlights the essential role of HCWs in SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics in healthcare settings. Limited genetic diversity in pathogen genomes hampered the reconstruction of individual transmission events, resulting in substantial uncertainty in who infected whom. However, this study shows that despite such uncertainty, significant transmission patterns can be observed.

Abstract
In the present cross-sectional study, we adapted and examined the validity of a Portuguese version of the Sport Motivation Scale II (SMS-II-P) within a sample of 1148 Portuguese athletes (women = 546, men = 602) with a mean age of 18.45 years (SD = 5.36), participating in a variety of sports (i.e., football, basketball, swimming, and athletics). We conducted confirmatory factor analysis, convergent and discriminant validity analysis, and multigroup analysis across participants' sport type (team and individual) and gender. We also examined the correlations between the SMS-II-P behavioral regulations and basic psychological needs satisfaction. The results supported that the SMS-II-P had good psychometric properties and was invariant across gender and sport type. The scale demonstrated good convergent and discriminant validity, and the subscales achieved adequate internal consistency. Correlations between the six types of regulation measured in the SMS-II supported the distinction between autonomous and controlled behavioral regulations, and the correlations between these subscales and other measures of autonomy, competence, and relatedness satisfaction provided evidence of the self-determination continuum. Implications of this research for assessing Portuguese athletes and conducting future research are discussed.

Abstract
Current techniques for the production of transgenic domestic animals remain inefficient. Only recently, DNA transposons resulted in improved efficiencies for mouse and pig transgenesis. In this work, we evaluated Tn5 and Sleeping Beauty systems for transgenesis in bovine and ovine species. First, both transposon systems were assessed in vitro in bovine embryos employing transposons carrying fluorescent reporter genes. In vitro-produced bovine zygotes were microinjected with either 1) a complex of Tn5:egfp transposon (20 ng μL–1) (protein: transgene with mosaic ends recognised by Tn5, in Mg+2 free medium), or 2) two plasmids carrying Sleeping Beauty 100X (pSB100X, 5 ng μL–1) and pT2/Venus transposon (10 ng μL–1). In vitro results for Tn5 transgenesis in bovine showed that blastocysts, Day 4 egfp embryos and egfp blastocysts rates for the group injected with Tn5:egfp did not differ from the group injected with the egfp transposon alone (73/145, 50%; 86/145, 59%; and 65/145, 45% v. 65/129, 50%; 87/129, 67%; and 57/129, 44%, respectively). For SB transgenesis, blastocysts, D4 Venus embryos, and Venus blastocysts rates did not differ between co-injection of pSB100X and pT2/Venus or injection with pT2/Venus alone (46/99, 46.5%; 64/99, 64.6%; and 33/99, 33.3% v. 41/83, 49.4%; 52/83, 62.7%; and 26/83, 31.3%, respectively). However, Venus intensity in blastocysts was markedly higher for the group co-injected with pSB100X and pT2/Venus respective to pT2/Venus alone. Both systems were assessed in vivo for the production of transgenic lambs employing a functional transposon (hrFIX, recombinant human factor IX driven by a Beta-lactoglobulin promoter). Laparoscopic artificial insemination of donor sheep was performed, and presumptive zygotes were flushed from the oviducts. The microinjections were done identically as described for the bovine embryos. A total of 24 presumptive zygotes were recovered and injected with the Tn5:hrFIX complex. Then, 21 zygotes were transferred to 5 synchronized ewes; one pregnancy of siblings was obtained, and one animal was born. Genomic DNA from skin, placenta, and blood was genotyped by PCR, but the hrFIX gene could not be detected. For the SB approach, 64 presumptive zygotes were recovered from 4 superovulated ewes, microinjected with the SB plasmids, and 21 of them were transferred to 7 oestrous synchronized recipients. The remaining zygotes were cultured in vitro and blastocysts (n = 7) were vitrified. Currently, 3 donor ewes are pregnant, one with siblings (4 total fetuses). Deliveries are expected by the end of August of this year. Our results indicate that both Tn5 and SB systems are capable of resulting in the production of transgene expressing embryos, and the presence of the transposases does not affect embryo viability. However, phenotyping of blastocyst stages does not seem to be predictive for stable transgene integration. The in vivo results will help to better address the suitability of Tn5 and SB approaches for the production of transgenic sheep.

Abstract
Despite extensive utilisation in epidemiological investigations of animal health, to date there has been little consideration of the value of abattoir meat inspection as a pig welfare surveillance tool. This study measured the prevalence of tail-docking, tail biting, carcase condemnations and associated financial losses of the latter (Northern Ireland only) in 36,963 pigs slaughtered in six abattoirs from the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland in July and August 2010. Over 99 per cent of inspected pigs had been tail-docked, while 58.1 per cent and 1.03 per cent had detectable and severe tail lesions, respectively. Producer losses resulting from carcase condemnation were estimated to be €0.37 per pig slaughtered. Enhanced capture and utilisation of meat inspection data for use in animal welfare surveillance schemes has the potential to drive improvements in production efficiency and animal welfare. However, significant differences were detected in the prevalence of carcase condemnation conditions between abattoirs and judiciaries (Republic and Northern Ireland). This reflects variation in the criteria and methods of data capture used in meat inspection in different abattoirs. Thus, the meat inspection process needs to be standardised and reformed before it can be reliably utilised in large-scale pig welfare surveillance schemes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study the role of human toxocariasis in the pathogenesis of pyogenic liver abscess. METHODS We compared the serology for toxocariasis and serum levels of IgE in 16 patients with pyogenic liver abscess to those in 32 matched (age and gender) controls to define the possible association between these two entities. RESULTS The serology for toxocariasis was positive in 10 of 16 patients compared with 4 of 32 controls. The relative odds and 95% confidence interval (conditional logistic regression), comparing cases and matched controls, was significant (1.4; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-1.7) for Toxocara serology. Regarding IgE serum levels, there was no difference between cases and controls. CONCLUSIONS Human toxocariasis can be one of the predisposing causes of pyogenic liver abscess, especially in tropical countries in which this parasitic disease is common. Treatment of human toxocariasis may prevent morbid complications like hepatic abscess and should be considered in patients with clinical and/or serological evidence of Toxocara infection.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to evaluate the microbiological quality of raw type B milk, kept under refrigeration at 3 degrees C, for a period of 15 days. The milk was enumerated and isolated a total of 180 microorganisms, of which 80 were psychrotrophics. The ability of these microorganisms to produce lipolysis and/or proteolysis in the milk was evaluated. Concerning the microbiological analysis, the samples analyzed presented high values for total counting. The results from the initial counting were 2.7 x 10(4) UFC/ml for psychrotrophic, with a predominance of Gram negative bacilli, which were highly lipolytic and had proteolytic activities associated.

Abstract
This work was carried out in order to investigate the influence of parotid glands on the metabolism of carbohydrates in the rat. The animals were selected by age (10, 20, 30 and 40 days-old) and distributed in 3 experimental groups as follows: Group I -- Parotidectomized animals; Group II -- Sham-parotidectomized animals; and Group III -- Control animals. The animals from all the groups were sacrificed 20 days after the beginning of the experiment. From the discussion of the results it was observed that the parotidectomized animals at 20, 30 and 40 days have presented significantly larger glycaemic means than control animals. These control animals, by the other hand, have also presented significantly larger glycaemic means than sham-parotidectomized animals. Concerning the 10 days-old animals, the statistical analysis have not showed any significance among the three groups. The results obtained from hepatic glycogen dosages, in the same animals, have showed a coherence, because the animals that have presented larger glycaemic levels, have also presented less hepatic glycogen content; contrarily, the animals that have presented a less glycaemic levels, have also presented a larger amount of hepatic glycogen.

Abstract
The authors studied the relationship between thymus and growth of long bones in rats in the pre-puberal stage. 150 rats of both sexes were divided in 3 groups: thymectomized, sham-thymectomized and controls. The animals were sacrificed 15 days after surgery, the femurs were collected and measured, in length and breadth. Thymectomized animals have a bone growth significantly lesser in length and breadth when compared to the sham-thymectomized animals. The latter ones also presented a lesser bone growth when compared to the controls. The average body weight was also significantly lesser in thymectomized rats than in controls, the same happening with the shamthymectomized rats. It is suggested that the thymus probably presents some kind of relation with the hypothalamus through a positive feed-back, simulating secretion of substances that would act on the adenohypophysis rising the secretion of growth hormone and the thymus playing a role in maintaining the serum levels of growth hormone and thyroxine necessary for the growth and development of bones.

Abstract
A study was made concerning the effects of sialoadenectomy and parotin hormone administration upon sponge-induced granulation tissue of young adult rats. The effects of sialoadenectomy alone and sialoadenectomy plus a single subcutaneous injection of parotin hormone, in two different doses (0.15 and 0.30 mg), on the development of 15-day-old granulation tissue were observed. The action of parotin hormone administration without sialoadenectomy was also investigated. The results have shown that sialoadenectomy produces a retardation effect upon the development of the tissue. This effect was partially inhibited by 0.15 mg and totally eliminated by the administration of 0.30 mg of the hormone. When administered in rats which were not sialoadenectomized, the dose of 0.30 mg caused increased fibroplasia and vascularization of granulation tissue, while a dose of 0.15 mg did not cause any significant difference when compared to the control tissue.
