Abstract: Among the vital signs collected during hospital triage, respiratory rate is an important parameter associated with physiological, pathophysiological, and emotional changes. In recent years, the importance of its verification in emergency centers due to the severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS2) pandemic has become very clear, although it is still one of the least evaluated and collected vital signs. In this context, infrared imaging has been shown to be a reliable estimator of respiratory rate, with the advantage of not requiring physical contact with patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of analyzing a sequence of thermal images as an estimator of respiratory rate in the clinical routine of an emergency room. We used an infrared thermal camera (T540, Flir Systems) to obtain the respiratory rate data of 136 patients, based on nostrils’ temperature fluctuation, during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil and compared it with the chest incursion count method, commonly employed in the emergency screening procedures. We found a good agreement between both methods, with Bland-Altman limits of agreement ranging from −4 to 4 min−1, no proportional bias (R2 = 0.021, p = 0.095), and a strong correlation between them (r = 0.95, p < 0.001). Our results suggest that infrared thermography has potential to be a good estimator of respiratory rate in the routine of an emergency room.2023-01-01T00:00:00ZLiver steatosis as a predictor of incident diabetes in adults: a prospective evaluation in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult<i> Health</i> (ELSA-Brasil)

Abstract: Increasing epidemiological evidence suggests a bidirectional relationship be-tween non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes, and that NAFLD may precede and/or promote the development of diabetes. This study aimed to investigate whether liver steatosis is associated with the in-cidence of diabetes in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). The ELSA-Brasil is an occupational cohort study of active or retired civil servants, aged 35-74 years, in six capital cities in Brazil. We excluded participants with diabetes at baseline, those who reported excessive alcohol consumption or with missing information on relevant covariates, and those with self-referred hepatitis or cirrhosis. In total, 8,166 individuals par-ticipated, and the mean duration of follow-up was 3.8 years. The Cox propor-tional regression model was used to estimate the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for the associations. Abdominal ultrasonography was used to detect liver ste-atosis. In the follow-up period, the cumulative incidence of diabetes was 5.25% in the whole sample, 7.83% and 3.88% in the groups with and without he-patic steatosis, respectively (p < 0.001). Compared to those without steatosis, individuals with hepatic steatosis had an increased risk of developing diabetes (HR = 1.31; 95%CI: 1.09-1.56) after adjustment for potential confounders, in-cluding body mass index (BMI). Hepatic steatosis was an independent predic-tor of incident diabetes in the ELSA-Brasil cohort study. Physicians should en-courage changes in lifestyle and screen for diabetes in patients with fatty liver.2023-01-01T00:00:00ZSulfonamide-induced acute eosinophilic pneumonia requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support: a case report
