    The document contains three separate study summaries: 1. A quantitative, cross-sectional study at Hospital Geral de Guanambi analyzed 1,278 urine cultures from January 2020 to December 2021, finding that 85 (6.7%) were positive for nosocomial urinary tract infections (UTIs). The most prevalent uropathogens were Klebsiella pneumoniae (49.4%), E. coli (23.5%), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (17.6%). 2. An observational, cross-sectional, and analytical study involving 100 parents or guardians of children and adolescents up to 15 years old found that 86% reported an increase in their children's digital screen use during the COVID-19 pandemic. Smartphones were the most used devices (45%), and clinical complaints related to screen use included headache, insomnia, weight gain, learning difficulties, and visual problems. 3. A cross-sectional observational study with 141 patients who had recovered from COVID-19 showed that post-COVID-19 syndrome was more common in participants over 40 years old and those with severe disease during the acute phase. The most common symptoms were cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurological. Patients with severe acute disease had significantly more symptoms than those with mild or moderate disease, and diabetes mellitus and renal failure were associated with many post-COVID-19 symptoms.
