    Covid-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, has emerged as a global pandemic, impacting public health, economies and societies around the world. Covid-19, in addition to its characteristic respiratory symptoms, has also been shown to have significant impacts on the cardiovascular system. In view of this, the study was carried out with the aim of elucidating the cardiovascular damage caused by Covid-19. To develop this literature review, searches were carried out in the SciELO, PubMed and VHL databases.  The search for related works was carried out using the descriptors "Cardiovascular Damage" and "Post Covid-19" in Portuguese and English. As a result, the main cardiovascular damages were hemorrhagic cardiac tamponade, fulminant cardiogenic shock, right ventricular failure, acute pericarditis, acute myocarditis and, above all, acute myocardial infarction. We therefore conclude that it is extremely important to monitor this damage in order to further reduce the impact on patients' quality of life.A Covid-19, causada pelo coronavírus SARS-CoV-2, emergiu como uma pandemia global, impactando a saúde pública, economias e sociedades ao redor do mundo.

Diante disso, o estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de elucidar os danos cardiovasculares pós Covid-19. Para o desenvolvimento da presente revisão de literatura, foram utilizadas buscas nas bases de dados SciELO, PubMed e BVS.  A procura dos trabalhos relacionados foi realizada através da aplicação dos descritores “Danos Cardiovasculares” e “Pós Covid-19” nas línguas: português e inglês. Como resultado, foi visto que os principais danos cardiovasculares foram tamponamento cardíaco hemorrágico, choque cardiogênico fulminante, insuficiência ventricular direita, pericardite aguda, miocardite aguda e sobretudo, infarto agudo do miocárdio. Conclui-se, portanto, que é de suma importancia realizar o acompanhamento desses danos para uma maior redução do impacto na qualidade de vida dos pacientes

    Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Notes for genera – Ascomycota

    No full text
    Knowledge of the relationships and thus the classification of fungi, has developed rapidly with increasingly widespread use of molecular techniques, over the past 10--15 years, and continues to accelerate. Several genera have been found to be polyphyletic, and their generic concepts have subsequently been emended. New names have thus been introduced for species which are phylogenetically distinct from the type species of particular genera. The ending of the separate naming of morphs of the same species in 2011, has also caused changes in fungal generic names. In order to facilitate access to all important changes, it was desirable to compile these in a single document. The present article provides a list of generic names of Ascomycota (approximately 6500 accepted names published to the end of 2016), including those which are lichen-forming. Notes and summaries of the changes since the last edition of `Ainsworth Bisby's Dictionary of the Fungi' in 2008 are provided. The notes include the number of accepted species, classification, type species (with location of the type material), culture availability, life-styles, distribution, and selected publications that have appeared since 2008. This work is intended to provide the foundation for updating the ascomycete component of the ``Without prejudice list of generic names of Fungi'' published in 2013, which will be developed into a list of protected generic names. This will be subjected to the XIXth International Botanical Congress in Shenzhen in July 2017 agreeing to a modification in the rules relating to protected lists, and scrutiny by procedures determined by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi (NCF). The previously invalidly published generic names Barriopsis, Collophora (as Collophorina), Cryomyces, Dematiopleospora, Heterospora (as Heterosporicola), Lithophila, Palmomyces (as Palmaria) and Saxomyces are validated, as are two previously invalid family names, Bartaliniaceae and Wiesneriomycetaceae. Four species of Lalaria, which were invalidly published are transferred to Taphrina and validated as new combinations. Catenomycopsis Tibell Constant. is reduced under Chaenothecopsis Vain., while Dichomera Cooke is reduced under Botryosphaeria Ces. De Not. (Art. 59)
