Mental representation of attachment relationships in an individual diagnosed with major depressive disorder
The objective of this work was to evaluate the mental representation of attachment relationships in an individual diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder. Previous studies suggested a connection between the attachment relationships established in the familial group and pathological functioning models. A case study was performed with a female patient presenting the disorder, who was attended at Ambulatório de Ansiedade e Depressão of Hospital Universitário Betina Ferro de Souza. Eight domiciliary interviews were carried out. The following instruments were used: a) Interview Script; b) Drawing of the Family; c) Family Drawing Checklist of Signs; e d) Family Drawing Global Rating Scales. The results suggested the establishment of anxious and hesitating attachment relationships, revealing a very high global pathology. We stress, therefore, the importance of a familial environment which would offer attention and care to its members, providing safety and favoring biopsychosocial health.Este trabalho objetivou avaliar a representação mental das relações de apego de um indivíduo diagnosticado com Transtorno Depressivo Maior. Estudos anteriores sugerem ligação entre relações de apego estabelecidas no grupo familiar e modelos patológicos de funcionamento. Realizou-se um estudo de caso com um paciente do sexo feminino que apresentava o referido transtorno, atendida no Ambulatório de Ansiedade e Depressão do Hospital Universitário Bettina Ferro de Souza. Foram realizadas oito (08) entrevistas domiciliares. Utilizaram-se os seguintes instrumentos: a) Roteiro de Entrevista; b) Desenho da Família; c) Escala de Freqüência de Sinais Específicos; e d) Escala Global. Os resultados sugeriram o estabelecimento de relações de apego ansioso e evitante, revelando uma patologia global muito alta. Portanto, destacamos a importância de um ambiente familiar que ofereça atenção e cuidados a seus membros, propiciando segurança e favorecendo saúde biopsicossocial

Síndrome da Rede Axilar após Tratamento para Câncer de Mama: Revisão Sistemática com Metanálise
Introdução: O câncer de mama é o mais incidente nas mulheres e a cirurgia é o principal tratamento de escolha. A síndrome da rede axilar (SRA) é uma condição recorrente que ocorre em até 86% das pacientes após cirurgia, se apresenta como um único cordão ou múltiplos cordões nos tecidos subcutâneos da axila ipsilateral e gera dor e limitação do movimento. Objetivo: Investigar estudos sobre a ocorrência e fatores associados à SRA após tratamento do câncer de mama. Método: Revisão sistemática com metanálise, nas bases de dados PubMed, LILACS e EMBASE, com a metodologia PECOS, seguindo a diretriz PRISMA. Resultados: Cinco artigos foram selecionados, com taxa de ocorrência da SRA de 35%. Os fatores associados encontrados apresentaram um menor risco relativo (RR) de recorrência para quem realizou biópsia de linfonodo sentinela em comparação aos que se submeteram à dissecção axilar (RR 0,49; IC 95% [0,42; 0,57] I²=95%, p=0,01). Houve uma variação de 35% a 39% de desenvolvimento para a SRA em pacientes que se submeteram à quimioterapia e radioterapia, porém o tipo de cirurgia não teve resultado estatisticamente significativo para o desencadeamento da síndrome. Conclusão: Indivíduos que realizaram biópsia de linfonodo sentinela têm menos chance de desenvolver a SRA quando comparados aos que fizeram dissecção axilar. As terapias oncológicas apresentaram proporções parecidas de aparecimento da SRA e o tipo de cirurgia não interferiu na evolução da patologia
OCCURRENCE OF HUMAN MOTOR SYSTEM LESIONS IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING CHEMOTHERAPY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW WITH META-ANALYSIS
Background
Chemotherapy results in toxic effects, causing damage to various systems, such as the human motor system.
Objective
To investigate the prevalence of lesions in the human motor system presented by patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
Method
Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis. Databases: PubMed, EMBASE and LILACS, in December 2022. Randomized controlled trials were included, with no restriction on publication period or language. Evaluation of the methodological quality using the RoB 2 tool and the GRADE system for the assessment of the quality of the evidence. The meta-analysis was performed using the R software. Registered in the PROSPERO database with ID: CRD42022384265.
Results
Ten studies were incorporated into the systematic review and for meta- analysis of proportion of fatigue, arthralgia, sensory neuropathy, motor neuropathy, myalgia, muscle weakness, weight loss, a variable number of studies was used. There were a total of 6672 patients and the proportion of occurrence consisted of 31% (0.30; 0.32), 20% (0.19; 0.22), 18% (0.17; 0.19), 10% (0.09; 0.12), 11% (0.10; 0.11), 12% (0.10; 0,13) and 13% (0.12; 0.15), respectively. There was a high risk of bias, according to Rob 2, in all included studies. In the analysis of the level of evidence by GRADE, five studies showed a very low level of evidence, with heterogeneity above 50%.
Conclusions
Different types of chemotherapy cause various damages to the motor system and possibly worsen patients' functionality

Characterisation of microbial attack on archaeological bone
As part of an EU funded project to investigate the factors influencing bone preservation in the archaeological record, more than 250 bones from 41 archaeological sites in five countries spanning four climatic regions were studied for diagenetic alteration. Sites were selected to cover a range of environmental conditions and archaeological contexts. Microscopic and physical (mercury intrusion porosimetry) analyses of these bones revealed that the majority (68%) had suffered microbial attack. Furthermore, significant differences were found between animal and human bone in both the state of preservation and the type of microbial attack present. These differences in preservation might result from differences in early taphonomy of the bones. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics
Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used.
