Pott´s puffy tumor

Tumor de Pott (Pott‘s Puffy tumor) é uma comorbidade caracterizada por um ou mais abscessos sub-periosteais do osso frontal associados a osteomielite subjacente. As etiologias incluem trauma e sinusite, entre outras. Relatamos o caso de uma paciente de 17 anos que se apresentou com abaulameto doloroso, calor local e flutuação na região frontal à direita há um mês, bem como cefaléia holocraniana e hipertermia. O diagnóstico de Tumor de Pott como uma complicação de uma sinusite frontal foi estabelecido pela clínica e confirmado por tomografia computadorizada de crânio. Foi tratada com sucesso com esquema inicial de amoxicilina mais clavulanato, o qual foi substituído por ciprofloxacina, associados à craniotomia, com craniectomia do osso acometido. Esta é uma doença que por ser infreqüente muitas vezes não é diagnosticada. Deste modo enfatizamos o diagnóstico e tratamento precoces como forma de evitar seqüelas neurológicas.Pott‘s Puffy Tumor is a comorbidity characterized by one or multiple subperiosteal abscesses of the frontal bone associated with underlying osteomyelitis. Etiologies include trauma and sinusitis among others. Here we report the case of a 17-year-old female patient with painful bulging, local heat, and fluctuation in the frontal region on the right for a month, as well as holocranial headache and hyperthermia. The diagnosis of Pott‘s Puffy Tumor as a complication of frontal sinusitis was clinically established and confirmed by computerized tomography of the skull. It was successfully initially treated with amoxicilin + clavunate, followed by ciprofloxacin, combined with craniotomy and craniectomy of the affected bone. Because of its rarity, this disorder often goes underdiagnosed. Thus we emphasize an early diagnosis and treatment so as to avoid neurological sequels

Mammals in Portugal: a data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occurrences in Portugal

Mammals are threatened worldwide, with ~26% of all species being included in the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associated with habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mammals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion for marine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems functionality and resilience, and therefore information on their distribution is crucial to delineate and support conservation actions. MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL is a publicly available data set compiling unpublished georeferenced occurrence records of 92 terrestrial, volant, and marine mammals in mainland Portugal and archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira that includes 105,026 data entries between 1873 and 2021 (72% of the data occurring in 2000 and 2021). The methods used to collect the data were: live observations/captures (43%), sign surveys (35%), camera trapping (16%), bioacoustics surveys (4%) and radiotracking, and inquiries that represent less than 1% of the records. The data set includes 13 types of records: (1) burrows | soil mounds | tunnel, (2) capture, (3) colony, (4) dead animal | hair | skulls | jaws, (5) genetic confirmation, (6) inquiries, (7) observation of live animal (8), observation in shelters, (9) photo trapping | video, (10) predators diet | pellets | pine cones/nuts, (11) scat | track | ditch, (12) telemetry and (13) vocalization | echolocation. The spatial uncertainty of most records ranges between 0 and 100 m (76%). Rodentia (n =31,573) has the highest number of records followed by Chiroptera (n = 18,857), Carnivora (n = 18,594), Lagomorpha (n = 17,496), Cetartiodactyla (n = 11,568) and Eulipotyphla (n = 7008). The data set includes records of species classified by the IUCN as threatened (e.g., Oryctolagus cuniculus [n = 12,159], Monachus monachus [n = 1,512], and Lynx pardinus [n = 197]). We believe that this data set may stimulate the publication of other European countries data sets that would certainly contribute to ecology and conservation-related research, and therefore assisting on the development of more accurate and tailored conservation management strategies for each species.
