    Women, who represent approximately half of the global population according to estimates as of January 2024, may experience signs and symptoms of menopause for at least one-third of their lives, during which they have a higher risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The effects of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) on the progression of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) events vary depending on the age at which MHT is initiated and the time since menopause until its initiation. Beneficial effects on CVD outcomes and all-cause mortality have been observed when MHT was initiated before the age of 60 or within 10 years after menopause. The decision regarding the initiation, dose, regimen, and duration of MHT should be made individually after discussing the benefits and risks with each patient. For primary prevention of postmenopausal chronic conditions, the combined use of estrogen and progestogen is not recommended in asymptomatic women, nor is the use of estrogen alone in hysterectomized women. Hormone-dependent neoplasms contraindicate MHT. For the treatment of genitourinary syndrome of menopause, vaginal estrogen therapy may be used in patients with known cardiovascular risk factors or established CVD. For women with contraindications to MHT or who refuse it, non-hormonal therapies with proven efficacy (antidepressants, gabapentin, and fezolinetant) may improve vasomotor symptoms. Compounded hormonal implants, or "bioidentical" and "compounded" hormones, and "hormone modulation" are not recommended due to lack of scientific evidence of their effectiveness and safety.Mujeres, que representan aproximadamente la mitad de la poblaciĂłn mundial segĂșn estimaciones de enero de 2024, pueden experimentar signos y sĂ­ntomas de la menopausia durante al menos un tercio de sus vidas, durante los cuales tienen un mayor riesgo de morbilidad y mortalidad cardiovascular. Los efectos de la terapia hormonal de la menopausia (THM) en la progresiĂłn de la aterosclerosis y los eventos de enfermedad cardiovascular (ECV) varĂ­an segĂșn la edad en que se inicia la THM y el tiempo transcurrido desde la menopausia hasta su inicio. Se han observado efectos beneficiosos en los resultados de ECV y la mortalidad por todas las causas cuando la THM se iniciĂł antes de los 60 años o dentro de los 10 años posteriores a la menopausia. La decisiĂłn sobre la iniciaciĂłn, dosis, rĂ©gimen y duraciĂłn de la THM debe tomarse individualmente despuĂ©s de discutir los beneficios y riesgos con cada paciente. Para la prevenciĂłn primaria de condiciones crĂłnicas en la posmenopausia, no se recomienda el uso combinado de estrĂłgeno y progestĂĄgeno en mujeres asintomĂĄticas, ni el uso de estrĂłgeno solo en mujeres histerectomizadas. Las neoplasias dependientes de hormonas contraindican la THM. Para el tratamiento del sĂ­ndrome genitourinario de la menopausia, se puede usar terapia estrogĂ©nica vaginal en pacientes con factores de riesgo cardiovascular conocidos o ECV establecida. Para mujeres con contraindicaciones a la THM o que la rechazan, las terapias no hormonales con eficacia demostrada (antidepresivos, gabapentina y fezolinetant) pueden mejorar los sĂ­ntomas vasomotores. Los implantes hormonales compuestos, o hormonas "bioidĂ©nticas" y "compuestas", y la "modulaciĂłn hormonal" no se recomiendan debido a la falta de evidencia cientĂ­fica sobre su efectividad y seguridad.As mulheres, que representam cerca de metade da população mundial segundo estimativas de janeiro de 2024, podem sofrer com sinais e sintomas da menopausa durante pelo menos um terço de suas vidas, quando apresentam maiores risco e morbimortalidade cardiovasculares. Os efeitos da terapia hormonal da menopausa (THM) na progressĂŁo de eventos de aterosclerose e doença cardiovascular (DCV) variam de acordo com a idade em que a THM Ă© iniciada e o tempo desde a menopausa atĂ© esse inĂ­cio. Efeitos benĂ©ficos nos resultados de DCV e na mortalidade por todas as causas ocorreram quando a THM foi iniciada antes dos 60 anos de idade ou nos 10 anos que se seguiram Ă  menopausa. A decisĂŁo sobre o inĂ­cio, a dose, o regime e a duração da THM deve ser tomada individualmente apĂłs discussĂŁo sobre benefĂ­cios e riscos com cada paciente. Para a prevenção primĂĄria de condiçÔes crĂŽnicas na pĂłs-menopausa, nĂŁo se recomendam o uso combinado de estrogĂȘnio e progestagĂȘnio em mulheres assintomĂĄticas nem o uso de estrogĂȘnio sozinho em mulheres histerectomizadas. Neoplasias hormĂŽnio-dependentes contraindicam a THM. Para tratamento da sĂ­ndrome geniturinĂĄria da menopausa, pode-se utilizar terapia estrogĂȘnica por via vaginal em pacientes com fatores de risco cardiovascular conhecidos ou DCV estabelecida. Para mulheres com contraindicação Ă  THM ou que a recusam, terapias nĂŁo hormonais com eficĂĄcia comprovada (antidepressivos, gabapentina e fezolinetante) podem melhorar os sintomas vasomotores. Os implantes hormonais manipulados, ou hormĂŽnios “bioidĂȘnticos” “manipulados”, e a ‘modulação hormonal’ nĂŁo sĂŁo recomendados pela falta de evidĂȘncia cientĂ­fica de sua eficĂĄcia e segurança

    An inventory of geological sites based on solid and clear criteria is a first step for any geoconservation strategy. This paper describes the method used in the geoheritage inventory of the State of SĂŁo Paulo, Brazil, and presents its main results. This inventory developed by the geoscientific community aimed to identify geosites with scientific value in the whole state, using a systematic approach. All 142 geosites representative of 11 geological frameworks were characterised and quantitatively evaluated according to their scientific value and risk of degradation, in order to establish priorities for their future management. An online database of the inventory is under construction, which will be available to be easily consulted and updated by the geoscientific community. All data were made available to the State Geological Institute as the backbone for the implementation of a future state geoconservation strategy.The authors acknowledge the Science Without Borders Programme, Process 075/2012, which supported this study and the SĂŁo Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), Process 2011/17261-6.

    Hypertension is one of the primary modifiable risk factors for morbidity and mortality worldwide, being a major risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Furthermore, it is highly prevalent, affecting more than one-third of the global population. Blood pressure measurement is a MANDATORY procedure in any medical care setting and is carried out by various healthcare professionals. However, it is still commonly performed without the necessary technical care. Since the diagnosis relies on blood pressure measurement, it is clear how important it is to handle the techniques, methods, and equipment used in its execution with care. It should be emphasized that once the diagnosis is made, all short-term, medium-term, and long-term investigations and treatments are based on the results of blood pressure measurement. Therefore, improper techniques and/or equipment can lead to incorrect diagnoses, either underestimating or overestimating values, resulting in inappropriate actions and significant health and economic losses for individuals and nations. Once the correct diagnosis is made, as knowledge of the importance of proper treatment advances, with the adoption of more detailed normal values and careful treatment objectives towards achieving stricter blood pressure goals, the importance of precision in blood pressure measurement is also reinforced. Blood pressure measurement (described below) is usually performed using the traditional method, the so-called casual or office measurement. Over time, alternatives have been added to it, through the use of semi-automatic or automatic devices by the patients themselves, in waiting rooms or outside the office, in their own homes, or in public spaces. A step further was taken with the use of semi-automatic devices equipped with memory that allow sequential measurements outside the office (ABPM; or HBPM) and other automatic devices that allow programmed measurements over longer periods (HBPM). Some aspects of blood pressure measurement can interfere with obtaining reliable results and, consequently, cause harm in decision-making. These include the importance of using average values, the variation in blood pressure during the day, and short-term variability. These aspects have encouraged the performance of a greater number of measurements in various situations, and different guidelines have advocated the use of equipment that promotes these actions. Devices that perform HBPM or ABPM, which, in addition to allowing greater precision, when used together, detect white coat hypertension (WCH), masked hypertension (MH), sleep blood pressure alterations, and resistant hypertension (RHT) (defined in Chapter 2 of this guideline), are gaining more and more importance. Taking these details into account, we must emphasize that information related to diagnosis, classification, and goal setting is still based on office blood pressure measurement, and for this reason, all attention must be given to the proper execution of this procedure.La hipertensiĂłn arterial (HTA) es uno de los principales factores de riesgo modificables para la morbilidad y mortalidad en todo el mundo, siendo uno de los mayores factores de riesgo para la enfermedad de las arterias coronarias, el accidente cerebrovascular (ACV) y la insuficiencia renal. AdemĂĄs, es altamente prevalente y afecta a mĂĄs de un tercio de la poblaciĂłn mundial. La mediciĂłn de la presiĂłn arterial (PA) es un procedimiento OBLIGATORIO en cualquier atenciĂłn mĂ©dica o realizado por diferentes profesionales de la salud. Sin embargo, todavĂ­a se realiza comĂșnmente sin los cuidados tĂ©cnicos necesarios. Dado que el diagnĂłstico se basa en la mediciĂłn de la PA, es claro el cuidado que debe haber con las tĂ©cnicas, los mĂ©todos y los equipos utilizados en su realizaciĂłn. Debemos enfatizar que una vez realizado el diagnĂłstico, todas las investigaciones y tratamientos a corto, mediano y largo plazo se basan en los resultados de la mediciĂłn de la PA. Por lo tanto, las tĂ©cnicas y/o equipos inadecuados pueden llevar a diagnĂłsticos incorrectos, subestimando o sobreestimando valores y resultando en conductas inadecuadas y pĂ©rdidas significativas para la salud y la economĂ­a de las personas y las naciones. Una vez realizado el diagnĂłstico correcto, a medida que avanza el conocimiento sobre la importancia del tratamiento adecuado, con la adopciĂłn de valores de normalidad mĂĄs detallados y objetivos de tratamiento mĂĄs cuidadosos hacia metas de PA mĂĄs estrictas, tambiĂ©n se refuerza la importancia de la precisiĂłn en la mediciĂłn de la PA. La mediciĂłn de la PA (descrita a continuaciĂłn) generalmente se realiza mediante el mĂ©todo tradicional, la llamada mediciĂłn casual o de consultorio. Con el tiempo, se han agregado alternativas a travĂ©s del uso de dispositivos semiautomĂĄticos o automĂĄticos por parte del propio paciente, en salas de espera o fuera del consultorio, en su propia residencia o en espacios pĂșblicos. Se dio un paso mĂĄs con el uso de dispositivos semiautomĂĄticos equipados con memoria que permiten mediciones secuenciales fuera del consultorio (AMPA; o MRPA) y otros automĂĄticos que permiten mediciones programadas durante perĂ­odos mĂĄs largos (MAPA). Algunos aspectos en la mediciĂłn de la PA pueden interferir en la obtenciĂłn de resultados confiables y, en consecuencia, causar daños en las decisiones a tomar. Estos incluyen la importancia de usar valores promedio, la variaciĂłn de la PA durante el dĂ­a y la variabilidad a corto plazo. Estos aspectos han alentado la realizaciĂłn de un mayor nĂșmero de mediciones en diversas situaciones, y diferentes pautas han abogado por el uso de equipos que promuevan estas acciones. Los dispositivos que realizan MRPA o MAPA, que ademĂĄs de permitir una mayor precisiĂłn, cuando se usan juntos, detectan la hipertensiĂłn de bata blanca (HBB), la hipertensiĂłn enmascarada (HM), las alteraciones de la PA durante el sueño y la hipertensiĂłn resistente (HR) (definida en el CapĂ­tulo 2 de esta guĂ­a), estĂĄn ganando cada vez mĂĄs importancia. Teniendo en cuenta estos detalles, debemos enfatizar que la informaciĂłn relacionada con el diagnĂłstico, la clasificaciĂłn y el establecimiento de objetivos todavĂ­a se basa en la mediciĂłn de la presiĂłn arterial en el consultorio, y por esta razĂłn, se debe prestar toda la atenciĂłn a la ejecuciĂłn adecuada de este procedimiento.A hipertensĂŁo arterial (HA) Ă© um dos principais fatores de risco modificĂĄveis para morbidade e mortalidade em todo o mundo, sendo um dos maiores fatores de risco para doença arterial coronĂĄria, acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) e insuficiĂȘncia renal. AlĂ©m disso, Ă© altamente prevalente e atinge mais de um terço da população mundial. A medida da PA Ă© procedimento OBRIGATÓRIO em qualquer atendimento mĂ©dico ou realizado por diferentes profissionais de saĂșde. Contudo, ainda Ă© comumente realizada sem os cuidados tĂ©cnicos necessĂĄrios. Como o diagnĂłstico se baseia na medida da PA, fica claro o cuidado que deve haver com as tĂ©cnicas, os mĂ©todos e os equipamentos utilizados na sua realização. Deve-se reforçar que, feito o diagnĂłstico, toda a investigação e os tratamentos de curto, mĂ©dio e longo prazos sĂŁo feitos com base nos resultados da medida da PA. Assim, tĂ©cnicas e/ou equipamentos inadequados podem levar a diagnĂłsticos incorretos, tanto subestimando quanto superestimando valores e levando a condutas inadequadas e grandes prejuĂ­zos Ă  saĂșde e Ă  economia das pessoas e das naçÔes. Uma vez feito o diagnĂłstico correto, na medida em que avança o conhecimento da importĂąncia do tratamento adequado, com a adoção de valores de normalidade mais detalhados e com objetivos de tratamento mais cuidadosos no sentido do alcance de metas de PA mais rigorosas, fica tambĂ©m reforçada a importĂąncia da precisĂŁo na medida da PA. A medida da PA (descrita a seguir) Ă© habitualmente feita pelo mĂ©todo tradicional, a assim chamada medida casual ou de consultĂłrio. Ao longo do tempo, foram agregadas alternativas a ela, mediante o uso de equipamentos semiautomĂĄticos ou automĂĄticos pelo prĂłprio paciente, nas salas de espera ou fora do consultĂłrio, em sua prĂłpria residĂȘncia ou em espaços pĂșblicos. Um passo adiante foi dado com o uso de equipamentos semiautomĂĄticos providos de memĂłria que permitem medidas sequenciais fora do consultĂłrio (AMPA; ou MRPA) e outros automĂĄticos que permitem medidas programadas por perĂ­odos mais prolongados (MAPA). Alguns aspectos na medida da PA podem interferir na obtenção de resultados fidedignos e, consequentemente, causar prejuĂ­zo nas condutas a serem tomadas. Entre eles, estĂŁo: a importĂąncia de serem utilizados valores mĂ©dios, a variação da PA durante o dia e a variabilidade a curto prazo. Esses aspectos tĂȘm estimulado a realização de maior nĂșmero de medidas em diversas situaçÔes, e as diferentes diretrizes tĂȘm preconizado o uso de equipamentos que favoreçam essas açÔes. Ganham cada vez mais espaço os equipamentos que realizam MRPA ou MAPA, que, alĂ©m de permitirem maior precisĂŁo, se empregados em conjunto, detectam a HA do avental branco (HAB), HA mascarada (HM), alteraçÔes da PA no sono e HA resistente (HAR) (definidos no CapĂ­tulo 2 desta diretriz). Resguardados esses detalhes, devemos ressaltar que as informaçÔes relacionadas a diagnĂłstico, classificação e estabelecimento de metas ainda sĂŁo baseadas na medida da PA de consultĂłrio e, por esse motivo, toda a atenção deve ser dada Ă  realização desse procedimento

    : The workload of general surgeons is multifaceted, encompassing not only surgical procedures but also a myriad of other responsibilities. From April to May 2023, we conducted a CHERRIES-compliant internet-based survey analyzing clinical practice, academic engagement, and post-on-call rest. The questionnaire featured six sections with 35 questions. Statistical analysis used Chi-square tests, ANOVA, and logistic regression (SPSSŸ v. 28). The survey received a total of 1.046 responses (65.4%). Over 78.0% of responders came from Europe, 65.1% came from a general surgery unit; 92.8% of European and 87.5% of North American respondents were involved in research, compared to 71.7% in Africa. Europe led in publishing research studies (6.6 ± 8.6 yearly). Teaching involvement was high in North America (100%) and Africa (91.7%). Surgeons reported an average of 6.7 ± 4.9 on-call shifts per month, with European and North American surgeons experiencing 6.5 ± 4.9 and 7.8 ± 4.1 on-calls monthly, respectively. African surgeons had the highest on-call frequency (8.7 ± 6.1). Post-on-call, only 35.1% of respondents received a day off. Europeans were most likely (40%) to have a day off, while African surgeons were least likely (6.7%). On the adjusted multivariable analysis HDI (Human Development Index) (aOR 1.993) hospital capacity > 400 beds (aOR 2.423), working in a specialty surgery unit (aOR 2.087), and making the on-call in-house (aOR 5.446), significantly predicted the likelihood of having a day off after an on-call shift. Our study revealed critical insights into the disparities in workload, access to research, and professional opportunities for surgeons across different continents, underscored by the HDI

    CatĂĄlogo TaxonĂŽmico da Fauna do Brasil: setting the baseline knowledge on the animal diversity in Brazil

    The limited temporal completeness and taxonomic accuracy of species lists, made available in a traditional manner in scientific publications, has always represented a problem. These lists are invariably limited to a few taxonomic groups and do not represent up-to-date knowledge of all species and classifications. In this context, the Brazilian megadiverse fauna is no exception, and the CatĂĄlogo TaxonĂŽmico da Fauna do Brasil (CTFB) (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/), made public in 2015, represents a database on biodiversity anchored on a list of valid and expertly recognized scientific names of animals in Brazil. The CTFB is updated in near real time by a team of more than 800 specialists. By January 1, 2024, the CTFB compiled 133,691 nominal species, with 125,138 that were considered valid. Most of the valid species were arthropods (82.3%, with more than 102,000 species) and chordates (7.69%, with over 11,000 species). These taxa were followed by a cluster composed of Mollusca (3,567 species), Platyhelminthes (2,292 species), Annelida (1,833 species), and Nematoda (1,447 species). All remaining groups had less than 1,000 species reported in Brazil, with Cnidaria (831 species), Porifera (628 species), Rotifera (606 species), and Bryozoa (520 species) representing those with more than 500 species. Analysis of the CTFB database can facilitate and direct efforts towards the discovery of new species in Brazil, but it is also fundamental in providing the best available list of valid nominal species to users, including those in science, health, conservation efforts, and any initiative involving animals. The importance of the CTFB is evidenced by the elevated number of citations in the scientific literature in diverse areas of biology, law, anthropology, education, forensic science, and veterinary science, among others

    ABSTRACT One of the first steps to be taken in order to reduce sports injuries such as stress fractures is to have in-depth knowledge of the nature and extent of these pathological conditions. We present a case report of a stress fracture of the acetabular roof caused through motocross. This type of case is considered rare in the literature. The description of the clinical case is as follows. The patient was a 27-year-old male who started to have medical follow-up because of uncharacteristic pain in his left hip, which was concentrated mainly in the inguinal region of the left hip during motocross practice. After clinical investigation and complementary tests, he was diagnosed with a stress fracture of the acetabular roof

O acĂșmulo de detritos resultante do desgaste mecĂąnico forma cĂ©lulas inflamatĂłrias que tĂȘm a função de fagocitar esses detritos e podem, em longo prazo, gerar uma reação granulomatosa local. A seguir, apresentamos um relato de caso de pseudotumor de pĂ©lvis pĂłs-artroplastia total do quadril, considerado raro na literatura consultada. Trata-se de paciente de 48 anos, masculino, negro, que iniciou seguimento mĂ©dico por dores abdominais incaracterĂ­sticas, disĂșria e polaciĂșria havia oito meses. Apresentava artroplastia total do quadril esquerdo havia 17 anos. ApĂłs investigação clĂ­nica e por meio de exames complementares, diagnosticou-se uma massa granulomatosa extra-articular, pseudotumor de pĂ©lvis.Loosening is a well-known complication of total hip arthroplasty. The accumulation of detritus resulting from mechanical wear forms inflammatory cells that have the function of phagocytizing this debris. Over the long term, these cells may give rise to a local granulomatous reaction. Here, we present a report on a case of pelvic pseudotumor subsequent to total hip arthroplasty, which is considered rare in the literature. The patient was a 48-year-old black man who started to be followed up medically eight months earlier because of uncharacteristic abdominal pains, dysuria and pollakiuria. He had undergone left total hip arthroplasty 17 years previously. Through clinical investigation and complementary examinations, an extra-articular granulomatous mass was diagnosed, constituting a pelvic pseudotumor.[Franco Filho, Nelson; Luciano, Alexandre de Paiva] Universidade de TaubatĂ©, BrazilFranco Filho, Nelson; Luciano, Alexandre de Paiva; Vierno, Bruno] Universidade de TaubatĂ©, Brazi
