Abstract
Introduction Precision monitoring maturity in climacteric fruits like tomato is crucial for minimising losses within the food supply chain and enhancing pre- and post-harvest production and utilisation. Objectives This paper introduces an approach to analyse the precision maturation of tomato using hyperspectral tomography-like. Methods A novel bi-directional spectral reconstruction method is presented, leveraging visible to near-infrared (Vis-NIR) information gathered from tomato spectra and their internal tissues (skin, pulp, and seeds). The study, encompassing 118 tomatoes at various maturation stages, employs a multi-block hierarchical principal component analysis combined with partial least squares for bi-directional reconstruction. The approach involves predicting internal tissue spectra by decomposing the overall tomato spectral information, creating a superset with eight latent variables for each tissue. The reverse process also utilises eight latent variables for reconstructing skin, pulp, and seed spectral data. Results The reconstruction of the tomato spectra presents a mean absolute percentage error of 30.44 % and 5.37 %, 5.25 % and 6.42 % and Pearson's correlation coefficient of 0.85, 0.98, 0.99 and 0.99 for the skin, pulp and seed, respectively. Quality parameters, including soluble solid content (%), chlorophyll (a.u.), lycopene (a.u.), and puncture force (N), were assessed and modelled with PLS with the original and reconstructed datasets, presenting a range of R2 higher than 0.84 in the reconstructed dataset. An empirical demonstration of the tomato maturation in the internal tissues revealed the dynamic of the chlorophyll and lycopene in the different tissues during the maturation process. Conclusion The proposed approach for inner tomato tissue spectral inference is highly reliable, provides early indications and is easy to operate. This study highlights the potential of Vis-NIR devices in precision fruit maturation assessment, surpassing conventional labour-intensive techniques in cost-effectiveness and efficiency. The implications of this advancement extend to various agronomic and food chain applications, promising substantial improvements in monitoring and enhancing fruit quality.

Abstract
Refusal self-efficacy protects against risky health behavior. Digital interventions have the potential to support self-efficacy due to the enactive experience provided by digital technologies. The aim of this systematic literature review was to evaluate the evidence of digital interventions to support refusal self-efficacy in child and adolescent health promotion. Following the Cochrane Collaboration guidelines, five electronic databases were searched from 2009 to 2020. The studies were assessed by two independent reviewers according to the eligibility criteria. Eligible studies were included in the review, assessed for risk of bias, synthesized narratively and assessed for evidence quality with the GRADE approach. Twenty-three studies, that examined 18 different interventions, were included in the review. The interventions included various digital elements as means to support the child and adolescent refusal self-efficacy (e.g. games, videos, feedback and activities for regulating feelings). The interventions improving refusal self-efficacy were more often used at home setting and addressed the four sources of self-efficacy with different digital elements regardless of intervention duration and intensity. Although the results on intervention effects varied and the evidence quality remained low, the overall evidence concerning these interventions was encouraging. Based on the subgroup analysis, the results were mainly encouraging among girls. When these interventions are implemented in health promotion, their benefits and weaknesses need to be considered comprehensively. The results provide information for designing and developing digital interventions to support child and adolescent refusal self-efficacy. Further research with larger sample sizes and more rigorous study designs is needed to strengthen the evidence of these interventions.

Abstract
Background:The use of bone scintigraphy (Sc) in spondyloarthritis (SpA) as a technique for diagnosis, assessment of activity and treatment decision has been questioned by the scientific community. Due to its low cost compared to Magnetic Resonance Imaging - MRI (the gold standard)1, some studies proposed to evaluate Sc’s diagnostic accuracy. These studies have shown that Sc has a low diagnostic sensitivity of 50-55%2. Also, there is a poor correlation between symptoms and scintigraphic uptake3. We aimed to evaluate the use of Sc for management and follow-up of patients with SpA.Objectives:To determine if Sc activity correlates with patients’ complaints (peripheral and axial), inflammatory markers, disease activity scores and whether it influenced physicians’ treatment decisions during the follow-up of the disease.Methods:We performed a retrospective review of all patients at our department with SpA with at least one Sc from 2018 to 2020. The following variables were analyzed: demographic data, spondyloarthropathy subtype (ankylosing, enteropathic, psoriatic and undifferentiated SpA), axial or peripheral pain, Sc findings (inflammatory vs no-inflammatory activity), inflammatory markers (sedimentation rate - ESR and C-Reactive Protein - CRP), disease activity scores within one year since the Sc (Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score with Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate - ASDAS-ESR and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index - BASDAI) and treatment at the time of the Sc (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), target synthetic DMARDs and biologic DMARD. Treatment decisions (escalation, de-escalation or maintenance) in accordance to Sc results were also reviewed.We used the non-parametric Mann-Whitney’s U test for comparisons between ordinal or numerical variables. For correlations between categorical variables we used the Fisher’s exact test and the χ2-independence test. Tests with p < 0.05 were statistically significant.Results:Fifty-five patients were reviewed, 75% women; median age of 48 years. Seventy-one percent had ankylosing SpA, 15% enteropathic SpA, 5% psoriatic SpA, 5% undifferentiated and 4% reactive SpA. Sixty-two percent of the patients had both axial and peripheral pain and 24% only axial complaints. Sixty-two percent of the patients had a Sc with no inflammatory changes, 27% had peripheral and 25% had axial inflammatory changes; 15% had evidence of both peripheral and axial inflammation. For ankylosing SpA, the median ASDAS-ESR was 2.89 and according to the BASDAI, 66% had active disease. The median CRP and ESR in patients with inflammatory vs a normal Sc was not different (p=0.02 vs p=0.36, respectively). Similarly, Sc findings were not correlated with patients’ axial (p=0.10) or peripheral pain (p=1.0), neither with the ASDAS-ESR (p=0.29) or the BASDAI (p=0.29). There was no correlation between inflammatory activity in Sc and the decision to maintain, escalate or de-escalate treatment (p=0.65), including the decision to start a biological DMARD (p=1.0) or to switch between biological DMARDs (p=0.19).Conclusion:There was no correlation between Sc findings and ESR, patients’ complaints, disease activity or treatment decisions. Considering previous research showing a low diagnostic sensitivity, our findings seem to support a limited role of bone Sc for the follow-up and management of patients with seronegative SpA.References:[1]Khmelinskii N, Regel A, Baraliakos X.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Psychoactive substance use associated with tuberculosis therapy is an urgent public health issue in the contemporary world.
Objective
To characterize the profile and psychoactive substance use of patients undergoing tuberculosis treatment and to analyze the association between health-related variables, consumption, and treatment adherence, from the perspective of Brief Interventions.
Methodology
Descriptive transversal epidemiological study, carried out in primary care units, with 114 patients undergoing tuberculosis treatment, from June 2016 to July 2017. The Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) and the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) were used.
Results
Smokers who drank alcohol (p = 0.058) and those who reported not having chronic diseases (p = 0.024) had a need to receive brief interventions. Cannabis use was more frequent among smokers (p = 0.009). With regard to cocaine use, a significant association was found between smoking and the number of chronic diseases. In this sample, 40% of smokers, 21.1% of alcohol drinkers, 10.5% of cannabis users, and 13.7% of cocaine/crack users adhered to treatment.
Conclusions
These results demonstrated the vulnerability of this population to psychoactive substance use based on treatment adherence and the importance of using Brief Interventions for monitoring, especially in primary care settings.
Key messages
The study showed an opportunity to apply the diagnostic strategy of brief intervention in this population in primary care. It showed an impact on the change in behavior of these patients, in view of greater adherence to treatment and improvement in quality of life.

Abstract
Background Abdominal fat type and distribution have been associated with complicated Crohn’s disease and adverse postoperative outcomes. Few studies have assessed the abdominal distribution of fat and lean stores in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and compared this with healthy controls. This retrospective study aimed to compare the abdominal body composition in IBD patients who failed medical treatment and who underwent computed tomography (CT) imaging prior to gastrointestinal surgery with healthy controls. Associations between preoperative abdominal body composition and postoperative outcomes within a year of surgery were explored. Methods Abdominal body composition was evaluated in 22 presurgical patients with medically refractory IBD (18 with Crohn’s disease) and 22 healthy controls, using routinely acquired CT. Total fat, subcutaneous fat, visceral fat, and skeletal muscle cross-sectional area were measured. Results An independent disease effect was observed, explaining a fat deposition excess of 38 cm2 and a skeletal muscle deficit of 15 cm2 in IBD. Abdominal skeletal muscle correlated with visceral fat for the control (rho=0.51, P=0.015), but not for the IBD group (rho=-0.13, P=0.553). A positive correlation observed between subcutaneous fat with skeletal muscle in the controls (rho=0.47, P=0.026) was inverted in the IBD group (rho=-0.43, P=0.045). Preoperative abdominal body composition was not predictive of postoperative outcomes. Conclusions A higher degree of abdominal adiposity, a lower skeletal mass and a larger body size for the same anthropometry can be expected in IBD patients. Preoperative abdominal body composition is not associated with surgical outcomes.

Abstract
Os estudos internacionais têm consistentemente mostrado que os jovens sobrestimam o consumo de álcool dos pares, e que esta percepção errada é preditiva do consumo individual. Este estudo foi desenvolvido com o objectivo de caracterizar o consumo de álcool e a percepção do consumo, em adolescentes do 3º ciclo de duas escolas públicas da cidade de Coimbra, para o refinamento de um programa de prevenção de uso/abuso de álcool. A amostra incluiu 654 adolescentes (51.5% sexo feminino). Os resultados mostraram uma clara sobrestimação na percepção do consumo habitual pelos pares. Os adolescentes mais velhos, com experiência de consumo e/ou de embriaguez foram os que manifestaram tendência para apresentarem percepção elevada do consumo, não se verificando diferenças entre o género. Estes resultados consolidam a importância de integrar a correcção das percepções acerca do consumo habitual dos pares nos programas de prevenção de uso/abuso de álcool.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the alcohol consumption phenomenon in public schools in Coimbra, Portugal (7th, 8th and 9th grades) for the implementation of a preventive program of alcohol use/abuse. This is a quantitative, descriptive and correlational study. The sample included 654 students (51.5% female) between 12 and 18 years of age. The Alcohol Expectancy Questionnaire - Adolescent form (AEQ-A) and the Questionnaire of Knowledge on Alcohol were used for data collection. Results show that positive expectancy on alcohol is discriminative of consumption and occurrence of intoxication. Positive expectancy exists even before adolescents have significant experiences with alcohol consumption and increases with age, which reinforces the need for early preventive effort. These results permitted to improve the prevention program included in the school curriculum of the 7th grade students.

Abstract
CONTEXT Cigarette smoke, whether inhaled voluntarily or not, causes damage to the mother-infant pair. The antenatal period may present the best opportunity for performing effective anti-smoking campaigns. OBJECTIVE To study the obstetric and perinatal effects of smoking on pregnancy and the infant. TYPE OF STUDY Prospective study, interviewing pregnant women who were randomly selected at the maternity hospital as they were being discharged after giving birth. SETTING Hospital Municipal Vereador José Storópolli, São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS 758 patients were interviewed regarding smoke inhalation before being discharged from the maternity hospital. The groups were formed by 42 active smokers, 272 passive smokers, 108 who inhaled smoke both actively and passively, and 336 non-smokers. The groups were compared regarding age, parity, school education, incidence of spontaneous abortion, rate of caesarian births, average gestational age at birth, rate of low birth weight and adequacy of weight in relation to the gestational age of newborn infants. For all variables we considered p < 0.05 as statistically significant. RESULTS There was a high rate (55.7%) of pregnant smokers, including 5.5% active, 35.9% passive and 14.3% active-passive smokers. Active and active-passive smokers were older and had higher parity. Active smokers had lower education levels and higher rates of previous spontaneous abortion. The weights of newborn babies were lower for smoking mothers. DISCUSSION The study was performed among patients that were mostly of low economic, social and cultural levels, thus possibly explaining the high incidence of smokers. Worse still was that 35.9% of the non-smokers were actually passive smokers. These rates we report were similar to those from the literature. The typical receptiveness of teenage girls to unrestricted advertising in the media contributes towards an early start to acquiring the habit of smoking, including during pregnancy in our country. We emphasize the difficulties in quantifying exposure to cigarettes even among active smokers. CONCLUSIONS Cigarette smoke, whether inhaled voluntarily or not, has an unfavorable effect on the mother-infant pair.

Abstract
Deficits in visual processing are early cognitive abnormalities in patients with Huntington's disease (HD) and may be found in presymptomatic gene carriers. We investigated the nature and evolution of deficits in visual processing in HD, and whether subtle deficits could be recognized by formal testing in asymptomatic carriers. We studied 35 patients with HD in stages 1-3 of functional disability, and 26 symptom-free relatives at 50% risk for the disease. We administered the Mini Mental State Examination to assess overall cognitive function and tests to assess visuospatial skills such as visual attention and ocular scanning (Cancellation Task and Line Bisection Test), visuoconstructive abilities (Copy of Rey's Complex Figure), and visuoperception (Hooper Visual Organization Test). The group at risk comprised 15 asymptomatic carriers (AC) and 11 non-carriers (NC) and was assessed by investigators blinded to gene status. HD patients were impaired in most of the tasks compared with AC and NC, and the scores declined steadily from stage 1 to 3. However, the difference between patients in stage 1 of HD and AC and NC in most of the tasks was not significant. Only the Hooper Test, which requires complex visual integration, was highly discriminative of early symptomatic from asymptomatic carriers (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between AC and NC in any of the tasks. We conclude deficits in visual processing develop with other manifestations of the disease and are not significant on formal testing at presymptomatic stages; also, early visual deficits in HD seem to be related to disorders in complex visual processing.
