Perfil epidemiológico de casos notificados da doença falciforme no Ceará / Epidemiological profile of notified cases of sickle cell disease in Ceará

Introdução: A doença falciforme é uma das doenças mais comuns no mundo, é hereditária e caracteriza-se pela presença da hemoglobina S. O Programa Nacional de Triagem Neonatal tem proporcionado o diagnóstico precoce da doença falciforme em neonatos, contribuindo para melhor qualidade de vida dos casos confirmados. Objetivo: descrever o perfil epidemiológico quanto aos aspectos sócio demográficos e clínicos da doença falciforme. Métodos: Trata-se de estudodescritivo com dados secundários registrados de 1994 a 2018, que incluíram dados de prontuários de 668 pacientes com a doença falciforme no Estado do Ceará entre os anos de 1964 e 2018, por meio do sistema de informação de três unidades de referência, com atendimento do Sistema Único de Saúde. Realizou-se a descrição das variáveis por meio do cálculo das médias, medianas, frequência absoluta e relativa. Resultados: Observou-se que a maioria dos casos foi encontrado em Fortaleza (74,4%) com atendimento na hemorrede (51,5%). As mulheres foram maioria (53%), sendo a cor parda a de maior predominância (69%). Os dados clínicos da maioria dos casos apresentaram prevalência de hemoglobinopatia SS (HbSS) (69,9%), necessidade de transfusões (53,3%), crise álgica (54,9%), pneumonia (17,1%) e utilização de ácido fólico (89,1%). Conclusão: As mulheres e pessoas de cor parda representaram a maioria da amostra com anemia falciforme ao longo de meio século. Observou-se predominância da Hemoglobinopatia do tipo HbSS e ocorrência de transfusões, sem informações quanto ao número de sessões realizadas

VIVÊNCIAS NO ESTÁGIO SUPERVISIONADO EM SETOR CLÍNICO DE ENDOSCOPIA E COLONOSCOPIA – RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA.

Introduction: The study of upper digestive endoscopy (EDA) and colonoscopy are exams that have improved with advances in global technologies. They serve as a basis for diagnosing basic diseases of the digestive system, with high prevalence and mortality in the world. The non-mandatory internship chosen in this area of knowledge aims to learn and develop clinical skills with the aim of improving the medical academic curriculum and exposing the activity as an experience report to the scientific community. Method: descriptive, longitudinal study, carried out in the first half of 2023 in a private clinic in Belém do Pará, where the intern presents its advantages and difficulties when carrying out the procedure. Results: the confluence between the curriculum and practical internship activities proved to be productive, in accordance with the objectives of the study and a new clinical experience for the academic. Conclusion: the active methodology of the medical course was passed on to the scientific community, where placing students in direct contact with care in an uncontrolled environment is essential to their training.  Introdução: O estudo da endoscopia digestiva alta (EDA) e colonoscopia, são exames que se aprimoraram com os avanços das tecnologias mundiais. Servem de base ao diagnóstico de doenças bases do sistema digestório, de alta prevalência e mortalidade no mundo. O estágio não obrigatório escolhido nesta área do conhecimento visa aprender e desenvolver habilidades clínicas com o intuito melhor o currículo acadêmico médico e expor a atividade como relato de experiência a comunidade científica. Método: estudo descritivo, longitudinal, realizado no primeiro semestre de 2023 em uma clínica particular em Belém do Pará, onde o estagiário apresenta suas vantagens e dificuldades ao realiza-lo. Resultados: a confluência entre grade curricular e atividades prática em estágio mostraram-se produtiva, de acordo com os objetivos do estudo e uma nova experiência clínica ao acadêmico. Conclusão: repassado a comunidade científica a metodologia ativa do curso de medicina onde colocar os alunos em contato direto com o atendimento em um ambiente não controlado é essencial a sua formação.   &nbsp

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.

Characterisation of microbial attack on archaeological bone

As part of an EU funded project to investigate the factors influencing bone preservation in the archaeological record, more than 250 bones from 41 archaeological sites in five countries spanning four climatic regions were studied for diagenetic alteration. Sites were selected to cover a range of environmental conditions and archaeological contexts. Microscopic and physical (mercury intrusion porosimetry) analyses of these bones revealed that the majority (68%) had suffered microbial attack. Furthermore, significant differences were found between animal and human bone in both the state of preservation and the type of microbial attack present. These differences in preservation might result from differences in early taphonomy of the bones. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
