DOENÇA TROFOBLÁSTICA GESTACIONAL E SUAS COMPLICAÇÕES: ANÁLISE DE CASOS

Gestational Trophoblastic Disease is a spectrum of disorders characterized by abnormal trophoblastic proliferation, subclassified into hydatidiform mole (complete and partial) and potentially fatal trophoblastic neoplasms with high metastatic potential, such as invasive mole, choriocarcinoma and trophoblastic tumors. Choriocarcinoma is the most common neoplasm secondary to hydatidiform mole, with a high incidence of lung metastasis, whose initial manifestation is hemoptysis. On the other hand, hydatidiform mole originates from villous trophoblasts and is considered a pre-neoplastic condition, whose clinical picture includes vaginal bleeding, hyperemesis and uterine enlargement, with complications such as preeclampsia, anemia and dyspnea. Objective: To analyze cases regarding Gestational Trophoblastic Disease and its complications. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review, of a quantitative nature, whose articles were selected from PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library On-line (SciELO) and Cochrane Library databases, in English. The choice of articles was performed by reading the title, abstract and, finally, reading the article in its entirety, with a careful analysis of the articles based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Final considerations: It is concluded that gestational choriocarcinoma is the most common gestational trophoblastic neoplasm, often secondary to hydatidiform mole, and its main metastatic target is the lung parenchyma, the main clinical manifestation being hemoptysis. There is a tendency to increase blood pressure in pregnant women with hydatidiform mole, which can lead to preeclampsia. Thus, it is possible for the fetus to have intrauterine growth restriction, requiring histopathological examination in all cases.La enfermedad trofoblástica gestacional es un espectro de trastornos caracterizados por una proliferación trofoblástica anormal, subclasificados en mola hidatiforme (completa y parcial) y neoplasias trofoblásticas potencialmente mortales con alto potencial metastásico, como la mola invasiva, el coriocarcinoma y los tumores trofoblásticos. El coriocarcinoma es la neoplasia más frecuente secundaria a mola hidatiforme, con alta incidencia de metástasis pulmonares, cuya manifestación inicial es la hemoptisis. Por otro lado, la mola hidatiforme se origina a partir de trofoblastos vellosos y se considera una condición preneoplásica, cuyo cuadro clínico incluye sangrado vaginal, hiperémesis y agrandamiento uterino, con complicaciones como preeclampsia, anemia y disnea. Objetivo: Analizar casos de Enfermedad Trofoblástica Gestacional y sus complicaciones. Metodología: Se trata de una revisión bibliográfica integradora, de carácter cuantitativo, cuyos artículos fueron seleccionados de las bases de datos PubMed, SciELO y Cochrane Library, en inglés. La elección de los artículos se realizó mediante la lectura del título, resumen y, finalmente, lectura del artículo en su totalidad, con un análisis cuidadoso de los artículos a partir de los criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Consideraciones finales: Se concluye que el coriocarcinoma gestacional es la neoplasia trofoblástica gestacional más frecuente, muchas veces secundaria a mola hidatiforme, y su principal diana metastásica es el parénquima pulmonar, siendo la principal manifestación clínica la hemoptisis. Hay una tendencia a aumentar la presión arterial en mujeres embarazadas con mola hidatiforme, lo que puede conducir a la preeclampsia. Así, es posible que el feto tenga restricción del crecimiento intrauterino, requiriendo examen histopatológico en todos los casos.A Doença Trofoblástica Gestacional é um espectro de distúrbios caracterizados por proliferação trofoblástica anormal, subclassificada em mola hidatiforme (completa e parcial) e neoplasias trofoblásticas com alto potencial metastático e potencialmente fatais, como a mola invasora, coriocarcinoma e tumores trofoblásticos. O coriocarcinoma é a neoplasia mais comum e secundária à mola hidatiforme, com alta incidência de metástase pulmonar, cuja manifestação inicial é a hemoptise. Por outro lado, a mola hidatiforme se originam de trofoblastos vilosos e é considerada condição pré-neoplásica, cujo quadro clínico inclui sangramentos vaginais, hiperêmese e aumento uterino e tem como complicações a pré-eclâmpsia, anemia e dispneia. Objetivo: Analisar casos a respeito da Doença Trofoblástica Gestacional e suas complicações. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica integrativa, de natureza quantitativa, cujos artigos foram selecionados das bases de dados PubMed, Scientific Eletronic Library On-line (SciELO) e Cochrane Library, na língua inglesa. A escolha dos artigos foi realizada por meio da leitura do título, resumo e, por fim, da leitura do artigo na íntegra, sendo realizada uma análise criteriosa dos artigos fundamentados nos critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Considerações finais: Conclui-se que o coriocarcinoma gestacional é a neoplasia trofoblástica gestacional mais comum, muitas vezes secundária à mola hidatiforme, e tem como principal alvo metastático o parênquima pulmonar, sendo a principal manifestação clínica a hemoptise. Há uma tendência ao aumento da pressão arterial na gestante com mola hidatiforme, podendo adquirir pré-eclâmpsia. Desse modo, é possível o feto possuir restrição de crescimento intrauterino, sendo necessária a realização do exame histopatológico em todos os casos

Manifestações psiquiátricas na reumatologia: uma revisão sistemática / Psychiatric manifestations in rheumatology: a systematic review

Doenças reumatológicas, são doenças crônicas que geralmente apresentam múltiplas causas. São representadas principalmente pela artrite reumatoide e lúpus eritematoso sistêmico. Sabe-se, no entanto, que existe uma ligação entre os processos autoimunes subjacentes às doenças reumáticas e aos transtornos mentais. O objetivo desta revisão foi avaliar as manifestações psiquiátricas em pacientes com condições reumatológicas. Uma busca sistemática na literatura foi realizada, nos portais BIREME e PubMed de estudos publicados nos últimos 10 anos. A busca foi realizada utilizando descritores em português e seus correspondentes em inglês: “artrite reumatoide”, “lúpus eritematoso sistêmico”, “esclerose sistêmica” e “síndrome de Sjögren” e “manifestações psiquiátricas”. Os artigos que foram incluídos após leitura na íntegra, tiveram seus dados coletados em instrumento padronizado e elaborado antes do início da busca. foram identificados e adicionados através da estratégia de busca 14 artigos. Ansiedade, depressão, incapacidade cognitiva e insônia estão entre as manifestações psiquiátricas mais prevalentes. A frequente presença de manifestações psiquiátricas na reumatologia acende um alerta entre os profissionais para priorizar a qualidade de vida de seus pacientes, reduzindo suas limitações

ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS: a data set of bird morphological traits from the Atlantic forests of South America

Scientists have long been trying to understand why the Neotropical region holds the highest diversity of birds on Earth. Recently, there has been increased interest in morphological variation between and within species, and in how climate, topography, and anthropogenic pressures may explain and affect phenotypic variation. Because morphological data are not always available for many species at the local or regional scale, we are limited in our understanding of intra- and interspecies spatial morphological variation. Here, we present the ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS, a data set that includes measurements of up to 44 morphological traits in 67,197 bird records from 2,790 populations distributed throughout the Atlantic forests of South America. This data set comprises information, compiled over two centuries (1820–2018), for 711 bird species, which represent 80% of all known bird diversity in the Atlantic Forest. Among the most commonly reported traits are sex (n = 65,717), age (n = 63,852), body mass (n = 58,768), flight molt presence (n = 44,941), molt presence (n = 44,847), body molt presence (n = 44,606), tail length (n = 43,005), reproductive stage (n = 42,588), bill length (n = 37,409), body length (n = 28,394), right wing length (n = 21,950), tarsus length (n = 20,342), and wing length (n = 18,071). The most frequently recorded species are Chiroxiphia caudata (n = 1,837), Turdus albicollis (n = 1,658), Trichothraupis melanops (n = 1,468), Turdus leucomelas (n = 1,436), and Basileuterus culicivorus (n = 1,384). The species recorded in the greatest number of sampling localities are Basileuterus culicivorus (n = 243), Trichothraupis melanops (n = 242), Chiroxiphia caudata (n = 210), Platyrinchus mystaceus (n = 208), and Turdus rufiventris (n = 191). ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS (ABT) is the most comprehensive data set on measurements of bird morphological traits found in a biodiversity hotspot; it provides data for basic and applied research at multiple scales, from individual to community, and from the local to the macroecological perspectives.

Increased interregional virus exchange and nucleotide diversity outline the expansion of chikungunya virus in Brazil

Abstract The emergence and reemergence of mosquito-borne diseases in Brazil such as yellow fever, zika, chikungunya, and dengue have had serious impacts on public health. Concerns have been raised due to the rapid dissemination of the chikungunya virus across the country since its first detection in 2014 in Northeast Brazil. In this work, we carried out on-site training activities in genomic surveillance in partnership with the National Network of Public Health Laboratories that have led to the generation of 422 chikungunya virus genomes from 12 Brazilian states over the past two years (2021–2022), a period that has seen more than 312 thousand chikungunya fever cases reported in the country. These genomes increased the amount of available data and allowed a more comprehensive characterization of the dispersal dynamics of the chikungunya virus East-Central-South-African lineage in Brazil. Tree branching patterns revealed the emergence and expansion of two distinct subclades. Phylogeographic analysis indicated that the northeast region has been the leading hub of virus spread towards other regions. Increased frequency of C > T transitions among the new genomes suggested that host restriction factors from the immune system such as ADAR and AID/APOBEC deaminases might be driving the genetic diversity of the chikungunya virus in Brazil

Brazilian Flora 2020: Leveraging the power of a collaborative scientific network

International audienceThe shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description of biological taxa and the understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, and evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant taxonomic impediment to biodiversity research and conservation planning. The taxonomic impediment and the biodiversity crisis are widely recognized, highlighting the urgent need for reliable taxonomic data. Over the past decade, numerous countries worldwide have devoted considerable effort to Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), which called for the preparation of a working list of all known plant species by 2010 and an online world Flora by 2020. Brazil is a megadiverse country, home to more of the world's known plant species than any other country. Despite that, Flora Brasiliensis, concluded in 1906, was the last comprehensive treatment of the Brazilian flora. The lack of accurate estimates of the number of species of algae, fungi, and plants occurring in Brazil contributes to the prevailing taxonomic impediment and delays progress towards the GSPC targets. Over the past 12 years, a legion of taxonomists motivated to meet Target 1 of the GSPC, worked together to gather and integrate knowledge on the algal, plant, and fungal diversity of Brazil. Overall, a team of about 980 taxonomists joined efforts in a highly collaborative project that used cybertaxonomy to prepare an updated Flora of Brazil, showing the power of scientific collaboration to reach ambitious goals. This paper presents an overview of the Brazilian Flora 2020 and provides taxonomic and spatial updates on the algae, fungi, and plants found in one of the world's most biodiverse countries. We further identify collection gaps and summarize future goals that extend beyond 2020. Our results show that Brazil is home to 46,975 native species of algae, fungi, and plants, of which 19,669 are endemic to the country. The data compiled to date suggests that the Atlantic Rainforest might be the most diverse Brazilian domain for all plant groups except gymnosperms, which are most diverse in the Amazon. However, scientific knowledge of Brazilian diversity is still unequally distributed, with the Atlantic Rainforest and the Cerrado being the most intensively sampled and studied biomes in the country. In times of “scientific reductionism”, with botanical and mycological sciences suffering pervasive depreciation in recent decades, the first online Flora of Brazil 2020 significantly enhanced the quality and quantity of taxonomic data available for algae, fungi, and plants from Brazil. This project also made all the information freely available online, providing a firm foundation for future research and for the management, conservation, and sustainable use of the Brazilian funga and flora

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data
