Iatrogenic occurrences with medication in I. C.U: nurse's procedures and feelings

Ocorrências iatrogênicas com medicação na UTI são eventos indesejáveis que exigem pronta intervenção do enfermeiro. Opresente estudo foi realizado com os seguintes objetivos:- verificar a conduta dos enfermeiros diante de uma ocorrência commedicação, identificar os sentimentos vividos nessas situações e caracterizar os fatores relacionados a esses eventos. Pormeio de um questionário respondido por 148 enfermeiros de UTI (76,7%) de 7 hospitais do Município de São Paulo, nosanos de 1997 e 1998, os dados foram obtidos e analisados segundo freqüência absoluta e percentual. Os resultados permitiramconcluir que as condutas mais citadas incluíram: comunicar o fato ao médico (31,7%), intensificar os controles (26,5%) ecomunicar a chefia de enfermagem (13,5%). Ansiedade, impotência e culpa foram sentimentos mais apontados com38,1%, 14,6% e 12,3%, respectivamente. O fator relacionado às ocorrências mais freqüente foi a displicência do funcionário(23,1%). Quanto à vivência desse tipo de ocorrência, a maior porcentagem (43,2%) referiu ter vivido situação semelhanteraras vezes.Ocurrencias iatrogénicas com medicamentos en UCI no son hechos esperados y necesitan rápida actuación de los enfermeros.El estudio tuvo los siguientes objectivos: verificar la conducta de los enfermeros delante de una ocurrencia iatrogénica commedicamnetos; identificar los sentimientos provocados por tales situaciones y identificar los factores vinculados a talesocurrencias.

The double-edged sword effect of warming on the soil predatory mite Cosmolaelaps brevistilis (Karg, 1978) (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae)

In this study we used the average annual temperature in Brazil and four warming predictions to propose a maximum thermal threshold for the predatory mite Cosmolaelaps brevistilis (Karg, 1978) (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae) as an experimental model. Then, we evaluated the effects of warming on the biological parameters of C. brevistilis for conservation biological control. We observed higher rates of oviposition and predation of the prey Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank, 1781) (Astigmatina: Acaridae) under warmer conditions at 75 ± 10% RH. The highest rates of prey consumption and oviposition were observed at 28°C compared to the others tested (22, 24, and 26°C). However, the egg viability of C. brevistilis was reduced at the same temperature. Therefore, temperature increases both positive and negative effects on the biological parameters of C. brevistilis which are important for the ecological interactions that are essential for biological control programs

Agricultura de Precisão: Programas Tecnológicos no Brasil

Precision agriculture (AP) is recognized as a technological innovation tool because when applied in a preventive way during agricultural production, it improves the economic and management aspects, minimizing losses of agricultural inputs and environmental risks in relation to conventional agriculture. This article describes government incentive and free trade programs for assessing productivity, analyzing fertility deficiencies, soil and plant physical and chemical characteristics, as well as evaluating the development of pests and diseases that may occur during production

The Genome of Anopheles darlingi, the main neotropical malaria vector

Anopheles darlingi is the principal neotropical malaria vector, responsible for more than a million cases of malaria per year on the American continent. Anopheles darlingi diverged from the African and Asian malaria vectors ∼100 million years ago (mya) and successfully adapted to the New World environment. Here we present an annotated reference A. darlingi genome, sequenced from a wild population of males and females collected in the Brazilian Amazon. A total of 10 481 predicted protein-coding genes were annotated, 72% of which have their closest counterpart in Anopheles gambiae and 21% have highest similarity with other mosquito species. In spite of a long period of divergent evolution, conserved gene synteny was observed between A. darlingi and A. gambiae. More than 10 million single nucleotide polymorphisms and short indels with potential use as genetic markers were identified. Transposable elements correspond to 2.3% of the A. darlingi genome. Genes associated with hematophagy, immunity and insecticide resistance, directly involved in vectorhuman and vectorparasite interactions, were identified and discussed. This study represents the first effort to sequence the genome of a neotropical malaria vector, and opens a new window through which we can contemplate the evolutionary history of anopheline mosquitoes. It also provides valuable information that may lead to novel strategies to reduce malaria transmission on the South American continent.

ATLANTIC EPIPHYTES: a data set of vascular and non-vascular epiphyte plants and lichens from the Atlantic Forest

Epiphytes are hyper-diverse and one of the frequently undervalued life forms in plant surveys and biodiversity inventories. Epiphytes of the Atlantic Forest, one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, have high endemism and radiated recently in the Pliocene. We aimed to (1) compile an extensive Atlantic Forest data set on vascular, non-vascular plants (including hemiepiphytes), and lichen epiphyte species occurrence and abundance; (2) describe the epiphyte distribution in the Atlantic Forest, in order to indicate future sampling efforts. Our work presents the first epiphyte data set with information on abundance and occurrence of epiphyte phorophyte species. All data compiled here come from three main sources provided by the authors: published sources (comprising peer-reviewed articles, books, and theses), unpublished data, and herbarium data. We compiled a data set composed of 2,095 species, from 89,270 holo/hemiepiphyte records, in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, recorded from 1824 to early 2018. Most of the records were from qualitative data (occurrence only, 88%), well distributed throughout the Atlantic Forest. For quantitative records, the most common sampling method was individual trees (71%), followed by plot sampling (19%), and transect sampling (10%). Angiosperms (81%) were the most frequently registered group, and Bromeliaceae and Orchidaceae were the families with the greatest number of records (27,272 and 21,945, respectively). Ferns and Lycophytes presented fewer records than Angiosperms, and Polypodiaceae were the most recorded family, and more concentrated in the Southern and Southeastern regions. Data on non-vascular plants and lichens were scarce, with a few disjunct records concentrated in the Northeastern region of the Atlantic Forest. For all non-vascular plant records, Lejeuneaceae, a family of liverworts, was the most recorded family. We hope that our effort to organize scattered epiphyte data help advance the knowledge of epiphyte ecology, as well as our understanding of macroecological and biogeographical patterns in the Atlantic Forest.
