Impacto Psicossocial da Rinoplastia em pacientes com anomalias craniofaciais congênitas

Congenital craniofacial anomalies pose significant challenges not only physically, but also psychosocially for patients. Rhinoplasty, as an integral part of reconstructive surgery, aims to improve not only aesthetic function, but also the psychosocial well-being of affected individuals. The literature shows a variety of studies exploring the psychosocial impact of these interventions, focusing on everything from quality of life to individual and family perceptions. This integrative review covered studies published in specialized journals in English and Portuguese from 2005 to 2024, such as comprehensive reviews, prospective and retrospective studies, as well as qualitative research. A search was made in electronic databases such as PubMed and Scopus and Scielo, using the terms "psychosocial impact", "Rhinoplasty", "Craniofacial abnormalities". The results indicate that rhinoplasty significantly improves patients' self-image and self-esteem, reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. The multidisciplinary approach, combining cosmetic surgery and oral rehabilitation, proved crucial in maximizing therapeutic benefits and facilitating social and educational integration. Patient and family satisfaction with the results of the surgeries was high, reinforcing the importance of the positive psychosocial impact. In addition, improvements in social adaptation and stigma reduction were evident in the patients' adult lives. Rhinoplasty emerges not only as an aesthetic intervention, but crucially as a tool to improve psychosocial well-being in patients with congenital craniofacial anomalies. The results of this integrative review highlight the importance of multidisciplinary approaches that consider not only the physical aspects, but also the psychological and social impacts of these interventions. Future research should continue to explore these aspects in order to optimize the results and the psychosocial support offered to these patients.  Anomalias craniofaciais congênitas representam desafios significativos não apenas fisicamente, mas também psicossocialmente para os pacientes. A rinoplastia, como parte integrante da cirurgia reconstrutiva, visa melhorar não apenas a função estética, mas também o bem-estar psicossocial dos indivíduos afetados. A literatura mostra uma variedade de estudos que exploram o impacto psicossocial dessas intervenções, focando desde a qualidade de vida até a percepção individual e familiar. Esta revisão integrativa abrangeu estudos publicados em periódicos especializados nos idiomas inglês e português abrangendo os anos de 2005 a 2024, como revisões abrangentes, estudos prospectivos e retrospectivos, além de pesquisas qualitativas. Utilizou-se a busca em bases de dados eletrônicas, como PubMed e Scopus e Scielo, utilizando os termos "impacto psicossocial", "Rinoplastia", "Anormalidades Craniofaciais". Os resultados indicam que a rinoplastia melhora significativamente a autoimagem e a autoestima dos pacientes, reduzindo sintomas de ansiedade e depressão. A abordagem multidisciplinar, combinando cirurgias estéticas e reabilitação oral, mostrou-se crucial para maximizar os benefícios terapêuticos e facilitar a integração social e educacional. A satisfação dos pacientes e familiares com os resultados das cirurgias foi elevada, reforçando a importância do impacto psicossocial positivo. Além disso, as melhorias na adaptação social e na redução do estigma foram evidentes na vida adulta dos pacientes. A rinoplastia emerge não apenas como uma intervenção estética, mas crucialmente como uma ferramenta para melhorar o bem-estar psicossocial em pacientes com anomalias craniofaciais congênitas. Os resultados desta revisão integrativa destacam a importância de abordagens multidisciplinares que considerem não apenas os aspectos físicos, mas também os impactos psicológicos e sociais dessas intervenções. Futuras pesquisas devem continuar explorando esses aspectos para otimizar os resultados e o suporte psicossocial oferecido a esses pacientes. &nbsp

NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the Neotropics

Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal species that (1) transposed a geographical barrier and (2) were voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into the Neotropics. Our data set is composed of 73,738 historical and current georeferenced records on alien mammal species of which around 96% correspond to occurrence data on 77 species belonging to eight orders and 26 families. Data cover 26 continental countries in the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico and its frontier regions (southern Florida and coastal-central Florida in the southeast United States) to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay, and the 13 countries of Caribbean islands. Our data set also includes neotropical species (e.g., Callithrix sp., Myocastor coypus, Nasua nasua) considered alien in particular areas of Neotropics. The most numerous species in terms of records are from Bos sp. (n = 37,782), Sus scrofa (n = 6,730), and Canis familiaris (n = 10,084); 17 species were represented by only one record (e.g., Syncerus caffer, Cervus timorensis, Cervus unicolor, Canis latrans). Primates have the highest number of species in the data set (n = 20 species), partly because of uncertainties regarding taxonomic identification of the genera Callithrix, which includes the species Callithrix aurita, Callithrix flaviceps, Callithrix geoffroyi, Callithrix jacchus, Callithrix kuhlii, Callithrix penicillata, and their hybrids. This unique data set will be a valuable source of information on invasion risk assessments, biodiversity redistribution and conservation-related research. There are no copyright restrictions.
