ANÁLISE DO PERFIL EPIDEMIOLÓGICO DE PACIENTES INTERNADAS POR CÂNCER DE COLO UTERINO NO BRASIL ENTRE 2019 A 2024

Brazil still faces high incidence and mortality from cervical cancer, with an estimated risk of 12.6 per 100 thousand women in 2020. Despite the high coverage estimated in national surveys, such as 78.8% in the country and 80% in capitals, incidence and mortality rates remain high compared to other countries, especially between 30 and 50 years old, mainly attributed to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, including subtypes 16 and 18 responsible for 70% of cases. Women with less education, limited family income, living in the Northeast and in areas with lower population density are more likely to not take the exam. Therefore, the objective of the present study is to analyze the epidemiological profile of patients hospitalized for cervical cancer in Brazil, between 2019 and 2023.O Brasil ainda enfrenta alta incidência e mortalidade pelo câncer de colo de útero, com um risco estimado de 12,6 por 100 mil mulheres em 2020. Apesar das altas coberturas estimadas nos inquéritos nacionais, como 78,8% no país e 80% nas capitais, as taxas de incidência e mortalidade permanecem elevadas comparativamente a outros países, especialmente entre 30 e 50 anos, atribuídas principalmente à infecção pelo papilomavírus humano (HPV), incluindo os subtipos 16 e 18 responsáveis por 70% dos casos. Mulheres com menor escolaridade, renda familiar limitada, residentes no Nordeste e em áreas de menor densidade populacional têm maior probabilidade de não realizar o exame. Dessa maneira, o objetivo do presente estudo é analisar o perfil epidemiológico de pacientes internadas por câncer de colo uterino no Brasil, entre 2019 a 2023

EVENTOS ADVERSOS À 3ª DOSE DAS VACINAS ASTRAZENECA E PFIZER EM UMA COORTE DE TRABALHADORES DA SAÚDE

Introdução/Objetivo: A vacina de vírus inativado CoronaVac (Sinovac/Butantan), e a ChAdOx1 (AstraZeneca/Fiocruz) em plataforma de vetor viral foram os principais imunizantes incorporados ao Programa Nacional de Imunização (PNI) no Brasil para prevenção da hospitalização e infecção pelo SARS-CoV-2. Além de ocorrer após as duas primeiras doses, a presença de eventos adversos ocorre também após a terceira dose anti-COVID-19, especialmente nos esquemas híbridos. O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever a frequência e gravidade dos eventos adversos relacionados à terceira dose usando as vacinas AstraZeneca (AZV) e pFizer (PFZ) em indivíduos pós esquema inicial de CoronaVac (VAC) ou AstraZeneca em uma coorte de trabalhadores da saúde. Métodos: Estudo longitudinal observacional de 476 trabalhadores da saúde do Hospital Universitário da Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (HUCAM-UFES/EBSERH), acompanhados desde o dia da vacina até 28 dias após a aplicação da terceira dose. Um diário padronizado de sinais e sintomas locais e sistêmicos contendo 17 perguntas foi aplicado após 28 dias da aplicação de cada dose para avaliação de segurança dos esquemas vacinais através do mapeamento de eventos adversos. Resultados: Dos 476 participantes recrutados (215 AZV + 261 VAC), 429 responderam o diário de sinais e sintomas da 3ª dose, sendo 279 PFZ (159 VAC/PFZ + 120 AZV/PFZ) e 150 AZV (72 VAC/AZV + 78 AZV/AZV). Não houve reações graves e a duração dos sintomas foi semelhante entre os grupos. AZV provocou mais sintomas do que PFZ (AZV 52,67% e PFZ 40,86%). Os sintomas mais frequentes de ambos os esquemas híbridos foram dor local (AZV 43,3% e PFZ 34,8%), mal-estar (AZV 29,3% e PFZ 21,5%) e fadiga (AZV 24,7% e PFZ 20,4%). Cefaleia, náuseas, calafrios, febre, dores articulares e demais sintomas foram citados em menor frequência pelos participantes. Conclusão: Utilizando-se imunizantes híbrido, a terceira dose de ambos os esquemas vacinais produzem menos efeitos adversos que as primeiras doses (1ª AZV 87% e VAC 61%, p < 0,001; 2ª dose AZV 57% e VAC 43%, p < 0,001).1 A terceira dose (booster) da vacina pFizer provoca menos eventos adversos locais e sistêmicos em comparação com a AstraZeneca em esquema híbrido. Consoante à segurança vacinal e risco de eventos adversos, as duas vacinas são seguras e nenhum evento adverso grave foi observado mesmo como dose adicional (booster) no esquema híbrido

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

NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the Neotropics

Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal species that (1) transposed a geographical barrier and (2) were voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into the Neotropics. Our data set is composed of 73,738 historical and current georeferenced records on alien mammal species of which around 96% correspond to occurrence data on 77 species belonging to eight orders and 26 families. Data cover 26 continental countries in the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico and its frontier regions (southern Florida and coastal-central Florida in the southeast United States) to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay, and the 13 countries of Caribbean islands. Our data set also includes neotropical species (e.g., Callithrix sp., Myocastor coypus, Nasua nasua) considered alien in particular areas of Neotropics. The most numerous species in terms of records are from Bos sp. (n = 37,782), Sus scrofa (n = 6,730), and Canis familiaris (n = 10,084); 17 species were represented by only one record (e.g., Syncerus caffer, Cervus timorensis, Cervus unicolor, Canis latrans). Primates have the highest number of species in the data set (n = 20 species), partly because of uncertainties regarding taxonomic identification of the genera Callithrix, which includes the species Callithrix aurita, Callithrix flaviceps, Callithrix geoffroyi, Callithrix jacchus, Callithrix kuhlii, Callithrix penicillata, and their hybrids. This unique data set will be a valuable source of information on invasion risk assessments, biodiversity redistribution and conservation-related research. There are no copyright restrictions.
