    Objetivo: Estimar a ocorrência de sintomas de depressão em 50 pacientes que foram submetidos a transplante cardíaco no Instituto de Medicina Integral Professor Fernando Figueira entre os anos de 2012 a 2018. Métodos: estudo observacional transversal que utilizou questionários adaptados, traduzidos e validados no Brasil, o Medical Outcomes Study 36- Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) para avaliação de qualidade de vida e, o Inventário de Depressão de Beck II (BDI-II), para avaliação de sintomas de depressão. A coleta foi realizada no Ambulatório de Transplante Cardíaco do referido hospital, através de entrevistas individuais. Os dados coletados foram digitados no programa Microsoft Excel versão 2010 e foram utilizados os Softwares Statistical Package for the Social Sciences - SPSS 13.0 para Windows. Todos os testes foram aplicados com 95% de confiança. Esse estudo está baseado na Resolução 466/2012 do Conselho Nacional de Saúde. Esta pesquisa foi aprovada no Comitê de Ética do Instituto de Medicina Integral Professor Fernando Figueira, com CAAE nº66851517.7.0000.5201. Resultados: A amostra foi composta por 76% do sexo masculino, idade média de 47,76 anos e 48% apresentavam baixa escolaridade.  Os dados obtidos pela aplicação do BDI-II (n=50) apresentaram média de 13,36, mediana de 13,00, desvio padrão de 7,78. Foram considerados com sintomas de depressão, atingindo escores com mais de 9 pontos, 70%, sendo a diferença de gêneros pouco significativa estatisticamente. Dentre as variáveis relacionadas à sintomas de depressão, somente a necessidade de ansiolítico após o transplante foi estatisticamente relevante. Na comparação do SF-36 com os 35 pacientes sintomáticos para depressão, das suas oito escalas somente limitação por aspectos físicos e aspectos emocionais não foram estatisticamente relevantes. Conclusão: Os sintomas de depressão puderam ser verificados na amostra com impacto significativo na qualidade de vida prioritariamente, quando associados à capacidade funcional, dor, estado geral de saúde, vitalidade, aspectos sociais e saúde mental. Pacientes que se submeteram ao transplante cardíaco devem receber atendimento multidisciplinar a fim de minimizar suas vulnerabilidades

    Rationale, study design, and analysis plan of the Alveolar Recruitment for ARDS Trial (ART): Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

    Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with high in-hospital mortality. Alveolar recruitment followed by ventilation at optimal titrated PEEP may reduce ventilator-induced lung injury and improve oxygenation in patients with ARDS, but the effects on mortality and other clinical outcomes remain unknown. This article reports the rationale, study design, and analysis plan of the Alveolar Recruitment for ARDS Trial (ART). Methods/Design: ART is a pragmatic, multicenter, randomized (concealed), controlled trial, which aims to determine if maximum stepwise alveolar recruitment associated with PEEP titration is able to increase 28-day survival in patients with ARDS compared to conventional treatment (ARDSNet strategy). We will enroll adult patients with ARDS of less than 72 h duration. The intervention group will receive an alveolar recruitment maneuver, with stepwise increases of PEEP achieving 45 cmH(2)O and peak pressure of 60 cmH2O, followed by ventilation with optimal PEEP titrated according to the static compliance of the respiratory system. In the control group, mechanical ventilation will follow a conventional protocol (ARDSNet). In both groups, we will use controlled volume mode with low tidal volumes (4 to 6 mL/kg of predicted body weight) and targeting plateau pressure <= 30 cmH2O. The primary outcome is 28-day survival, and the secondary outcomes are: length of ICU stay; length of hospital stay; pneumothorax requiring chest tube during first 7 days; barotrauma during first 7 days; mechanical ventilation-free days from days 1 to 28; ICU, in-hospital, and 6-month survival. ART is an event-guided trial planned to last until 520 events (deaths within 28 days) are observed. These events allow detection of a hazard ratio of 0.75, with 90% power and two-tailed type I error of 5%. All analysis will follow the intention-to-treat principle. Discussion: If the ART strategy with maximum recruitment and PEEP titration improves 28-day survival, this will represent a notable advance to the care of ARDS patients. Conversely, if the ART strategy is similar or inferior to the current evidence-based strategy (ARDSNet), this should also change current practice as many institutions routinely employ recruitment maneuvers and set PEEP levels according to some titration method.Hospital do Coracao (HCor) as part of the Program 'Hospitais de Excelencia a Servico do SUS (PROADI-SUS)'Brazilian Ministry of Healt

    First measurement of the underlying event activity at the LHC with root s=0.9 TeV

    Get PDF
    A measurement of the underlying activity in scattering processes with p (T) scale in the GeV region is performed in proton-proton collisions at root s = 0.9 TeV, using data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. Charged particle production is studied with reference to the direction of a leading object, either a charged particle or a set of charged particles forming a jet. Predictions of several QCD-inspired models as implemented in PYTHIA are compared, after full detector simulation, to the data. The models generally predict too little production of charged particles with pseudorapidity |eta| LT 2, p (T) GT 0.5 GeV/c, and azimuthal direction transverse to that of the leading object

    FUNDAMENTO: Hiponatremia e fenômenos congestivos indicam mau prognóstico na insuficiência cardíaca descompensada. A ocorrência de insuficiência renal está associada a aumento do risco de morte. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a segurança e a eficácia da solução hipertônica em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca descompensada para prevenção de insuficiência renal. MÉTODOS: Participaram do estudo pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca descompensada, congestão e hiponatremia. Além do tratamento padrão, os pacientes receberam solução salina hipertônica, e foram submetidos a avaliação tanto clínica como laboratorial. RESULTADOS: Foram incluídos 9 pacientes. A média das idades dos pacientes foi de 55 + 14,2 anos, sendo 5 (55,5%) do sexo masculino e 4 (44,5%), do feminino. Todos apresentavam classe funcional III-IV da New York Heart Association (NYHA), e 5 (55,5%) recebiam dobutamina. Todos apresentaram creatinina inicial acima de 1,4 mg/dl. A tonicidade média da solução foi de 4,39% + 0,018% (2,5% a 7,5%) e a duração do tratamento foi de 4,9 dias + 4,1 dias (1 dia a 15 dias). Não houve efeitos adversos graves; em nenhum caso houve piora clínica ou distúrbios neurológicos; hipocalemia ocorreu em 4 (44,5%) casos. A comparação das variáveis pré- e pós-tratamento demonstrou queda da uréia (105 mg/dl + 74,8 mg/dl vs. 88 mg/dl + 79,4 mg/dl; p = 0,03) e aumento do volume urinário (1.183 ml/dia vs. 1.778 ml/dia; p = 0,03); houve tendência a redução da creatinina (2,0 mg/dl + 0,8 mg/dl vs. 1,7 mg/dl + 1,0 mg/dl; p = 0,08). Apesar da elevação do valor do sódio (131 mEq/l + 2,8 mEq/l vs. 134 mEq/l + 4,9 mEq/l) e da redução do peso (69,5 kg + 18,6 kg vs. 68,2 kg + 17,1 kg), não houve diferença estatisticamente significante. CONCLUSÃO: O uso de solução salina hipertônica em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca descompensada pode ser método terapêutico seguro e potencialmente relacionado a melhora clínica e de prevenção da insuficiência renal

    FUNDAMENTO: A hipertensão pulmonar (HP) é fator de mau prognóstico no pós-operatório de transplante cardíaco (TC) e, desta forma, o estudo do grau de reversibilidade a vasodilatadores é obrigatório durante avaliação pré-operatória. OBJETIVO: Avaliar os efeitos hemodinâmicos pulmonares e sistêmicos do sildenafil como droga vasodilatadora durante o teste de reversibilidade da HP em candidatos a transplante cardíaco. MÉTODOS: Pacientes em fila para TC foram submetidos à medida de variáveis hemodinâmicas sistêmicas e pulmonares antes e após a administração de 100mg dose única e sublingual de sildenafil, durante cateterização cardíaca direita. RESULTADOS: Quatorze pacientes (idade: 47±12 anos, 71,4% homens) com insuficiência cardíaca avançada, Fração de Ejeção (FE) 25 ± 7%, Classe Funcional (CF- NYHA) CF III - 6 e CF IV - 8, foram avaliados neste estudo. A administração aguda de sildenafil mostrou ser eficaz na redução das pressões sistólica (62,4 ± 12,1 vs. 51,5 ± 9,6 mmHg, IC=95%, p<0,05) e média (40,7 ± 7,3 vs. 33,8 ± 7,6 mmHg, IC=95%, p <0,05) da artéria pulmonar. Houve também uma redução significativa da resistência vascular pulmonar (4,2 ± 3 vs. 2,0 ± 0,9 uWood, IC=95%, p<0,05) e sistêmica (22,9 ± 6,8 vs. 18,6 ± 4,1 Wood, IC=95%, p<0,05), associada a uma elevação do débito cardíaco (3,28 ± 0,79 vs. 4,12 ±1,12 uWood, IC=95%, p<0,05) sem, no entanto, interferir de maneira significativa na pressão arterial sistêmica (87,8 ± 8,2 vs. 83,6 ± 9,1 mmHg, IC=95%, p=0,3). CONCLUSÃO: O sildenafil sublingual é uma alternativa eficaz e segura como droga vasodilatadora durante o teste de reversibilidade da HP em portadores de insuficiência cardíaca e em fila para transplante cardíaco.BACKGROUND: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a factor of poor prognosis in the postoperative period of heart transplant (HT) and thus, the study of the degree of reversibility to vasodilators is mandatory during the preoperative assessment. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the pulmonary and systemic hemodynamic effects of sildenafil as a vasodilator during the PH reversibility test in patients that are candidates to HT. METHODS: Patients awaiting HT were submitted to the measurement of systemic and pulmonary hemodynamic variables before and after the administration of a single sublingual dose of 100 mg of sildenafil during right heart catheterization. RESULTS: Fourteen patients (age: 47±12 years, 71.4% men) with advanced heart failure Ejection Fraction (EF) 25 ± 7%, Functional Class (FC - NYHA) FC III - 6 and FC IV - 8, were evaluated in this study. The acute administration of sildenafil showed to be effective in decreasing the systolic (62.4 ± 12.1 vs 51.5 ± 9.6 mmHg, CI=95%, p<0.05) and mean (40.7 ± 7.3 vs 33.8 ± 7.6 mmHg, CI=95%, p <0.05) pressures of the pulmonary artery. There was also a significant decrease in the pulmonary (4.2 ± 3 vs 2.0 ± 0.9 uWood, CI=95%, p<0.05) and systemic vascular resistance (22.9 ± 6.8 vs 18.6 ± 4.1 Wood, CI=95%, p<0.05), associated to an increase in the cardiac output (3.28 ± 0.79 vs 4.12 ±1.12 uWood, CI=95%, p<0.05) without, however, significantly interfering in the systemic arterial pressure (87.8 ± 8.2 vs 83.6 ± 9.1 mmHg, CI=95%, p=0.3). CONCLUSION:The sublingual administration of sildenafil is an effective and safe alternative as a vasodilator during the PH reversibility test in patients with heart failure and awaiting a HT.FUNDAMENTO: La hipertensión pulmonar (HP) se muestra factor de mal pronóstico en el postoperatorio de transplante cardiaco (TC) y, de esta forma, el estudio del grado de reversibilidad a vasodilatadores se vuelve obligatorio durante evaluación preoperatoria.

    Neotropical freshwater fisheries : A dataset of occurrence and abundance of freshwater fishes in the Neotropics

    No full text
    The Neotropical region hosts 4225 freshwater fish species, ranking first among the world's most diverse regions for freshwater fishes. Our NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set is the first to produce a large-scale Neotropical freshwater fish inventory, covering the entire Neotropical region from Mexico and the Caribbean in the north to the southern limits in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. We compiled 185,787 distribution records, with unique georeferenced coordinates, for the 4225 species, represented by occurrence and abundance data. The number of species for the most numerous orders are as follows: Characiformes (1289), Siluriformes (1384), Cichliformes (354), Cyprinodontiformes (245), and Gymnotiformes (135). The most recorded species was the characid Astyanax fasciatus (4696 records). We registered 116,802 distribution records for native species, compared to 1802 distribution records for nonnative species. The main aim of the NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set was to make these occurrence and abundance data accessible for international researchers to develop ecological and macroecological studies, from local to regional scales, with focal fish species, families, or orders. We anticipate that the NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set will be valuable for studies on a wide range of ecological processes, such as trophic cascades, fishery pressure, the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation, and the impacts of species invasion and climate change.
