Summary objectIve. To assess the profile and scientific output of medical researchers supported by Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) grants. Methods. Data were extracted from the Lattes curricula of 411 medical researchers with active grants for the 2006-2008 period. The variables of interest were gender, institutional affiliation, scientific output, and advisership of undergraduate research fellows and master's and doctoral candidates. results. Researchers were predominantly male (68%) and recipients of category 2 grants (55.7%). Four Brazilian states (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, and Minas Gerais) accounted for 90% of all researchers. Eight institutions accounted for roughly 80% of researchers in the sample, particularly USP (30.7%) and UNIFESP (17%). The study identified 30 areas of expertise for researchers. Median scientific output was 4.13 published articles per year (interquartile range, IQ, 2.9-5.8), or 2.23 per year (IQ, 1.4-3.2) after adjusting for articles published in Web of Scienceindexed journals. The most productive areas in terms of indexed articles were Neuroscience (3.16 articles/year; IQ, 1.8-4.7) and Psychiatry (2.92; IQ, 1.73-4.5). conclusIon. Medical researchers are concentrated in the Southeast region of Brazil. The scientific output of most Brazilian researchers has increased over the past five years. An understanding of the profile of medical researchers in the country may aid development of effective strategies for qualitative improvement of scientific output.

Pesquisadores brasileiros têm demonstrado aumento na produção científica associada à publicação de trabalhos na literatura corrente. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o perfil dos bolsistas de produtividade científica da área de Saúde Coletiva no Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico. Foram analisados os currículos Lattes de todos os pesquisadores da área de Saúde Coletiva no triênio 2004-2006. As variáveis estudadas foram: gênero, categoria do bolsista, instituição de origem, tempo de conclusão do doutorado, artigos nacionais e internacionais com o respectivo Qualis, publicação de livros e capítulos, orientações de iniciação científica, mestrado e doutorado e os periódicos utilizados para publicação. Entre os pesquisadores, houve similaridade de gêneros masculino e feminino (1,03:1), com a maioria dos bolsistas na categoria 2 (48,39%), distribuídos por 12 estados da federação, com predomínio de Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo. Do total, 73,54% dos bolsistas encontram-se vinculados a universidades e 66,45% deles concluíram o doutorado entre 5 a 15 anos. Na produção científica, verifica-se prevalência de artigos internacionais Qualis A e C e nacional B. A publicação de capítulos de livros foi 2,91 vezes superior ao de livros. Quanto à orientação, verifica-se prevalência na formação de mestres, seguida de doutores e de iniciação científica. Os periódicos que concentraram maior parte das publicações foram Cadernos de Saúde Pública e Revista de Saúde Pública, respectivamente. Estudos em outras áreas com metodologias similares possibilitarão melhor conhecimento da produção científica nacional e definição de estratégias de demandas induzidas de pesquisa.

Many viral infections cause oral manifestations, including disorders in odontogenesis, resulting in dental malformations. In this review, based on current knowledge, we will discuss the likely dental and oral consequences of COVID-19. In this article, we review currently available data associated with vertical transmission of COVID-19 and odontogenesis, oral manifestations, and the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on a diagnosis of oral diseases. Owing to the severity of the pandemic, the population's anxiety and fear of becoming infected with COVID-19 may underestimate the signs and symptoms of serious illnesses, besides discourage patients from seeking health, medical or dental services to determine the diagnosis of oral lesions. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic could be an additional and aggravating factor for the delay of serious illness diagnosis, such as oral squamous cell carcinoma resulting in higher morbidity and worse prognosis. Several changes and oral lesions have been described as oral manifestations of COVID-19, such as dysgeusia, oral ulcers, petechiae, reddish macules, desquamative gingivitis, among others. Besides, it can cause major systemic changes and predispose opportunistic infections. As with other viral infections, oral manifestations, including dental anomalies, can occur as a direct result of SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, further studies are needed to guide and clarify possible oral changes.

Our study has shown that researchers in the field of cardiology have a relevant scientific production. The knowledge of the profile of researchers in the field of Cardiology will probably enable effective strategies to qualitatively improve the scientific output of Brazilian researchers.

2D:4D seems to be a marker for screening patients for prostate cancer in an admixed population, as males with prostate cancer present lower 2D:4D than healthy subjects. On the other hand, 2D:4D does not appear to be associated with the severity of prostate cancer.

Conflict of interest: noneObjective: several studies have examined the academic production of the researchers at the CNPq, in several areas of knowledge. The aim of this study was to evaluate the scientific production of researchers in Hematology/Oncology who hold scientific productivity grants from the Brazilian Council for Scientific and Technological Development. Methods: the Academic CVs of 28 researchers in Hematology/Oncology with active grants in the three-year period from 2006 to 2008 were included in the analysis. The variables of interest were: institution, researchers' time after doctorate, tutoring of undergraduate students, masters and PhD degree, scientific production and its impact. Results: from a total of 411 researchers in Medicine, 28 (7%) were identified as being in the area of Hematology/Oncology. There was a slight predominance of males (53.6%) and grant holders in category 1. Three Brazilian states are responsible for approximately 90% of the researchers: São Paulo (21,75%), Rio de Janeiro (3,11%), and Minas Gerais (2, 7%). During their academic careers, the researchers published 2,655 articles, with a median of 87 articles per researcher (IQR = 52 to 122). 65 and 78% of this total were indexed on the Web of Science and Scopus databases, respectively. The researchers received 14,247 citations on the WoS database with a median of 385 citations per researcher. The average number of citations per article was 8.2. Conclusion: in this investigation, it was noted that researchers in the field of Hematology/Oncology have a relevant scientific output from the point of view of quantity and quality compared to other medical specialties.
