Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil.New challenges have arisen for the management of critically ill HIV/AIDS patients. Severe sepsis has emerged as a common cause of intensive care unit (ICU) admission for those living with HIV/AIDS. Contrastingly, HIV/AIDS patients have been systematically excluded from sepsis studies, limiting the understanding of the impact of sepsis in this population. We prospectively followed up critically ill HIV/AIDS patients to evaluate the main risk factors for hospital mortality and the impact of severe sepsis on the short- and long-term survival
Fenologia de quatro espécies arbóreas da Caatinga no Semiárido paraibano
The point of this paper was suppling necessary information to future of botany and ecology studies, in which it
concerns the behavior of arboreal species. For so much, ten individuals of each one of the chosen species: “angico” (Anade-
nanthera colubrina (Vell.) Brenan) – Fabaceae-Mimosoideae; “aroeira” (Myracrodruon urundeuva Allemão) – Anacardiaceae;
“cumaru” (Amburana cearensis (Allemão) A.C. Smith) – Fabaceae e “oiticica” (Licania rigida Benth) – Chrysobalanaceae,
were marked and numbered sequentially in an area of Caatinga located in Pombal’s region, Paraíba. Biweekly were made
evaluations for the identification of the spring up phenophases, leaf formation, flowering, fructification and seeds dispersion.
The Anadenanthera colubrina, M. urundeuva Amburana carens and are classified as deciduous species, with leaf abscission
between September and December (dry season) and regrowth between January and August (rainy season) in the semiarid re-
gion of Paraíba, while the Licania rigida is classified as a perennial species, not to present the phenomenon of leaf abscission
during the evaluation period. All species have their diaspores dispersed even in the dry season. The species Anadenanthera
colubrina has different peaks in phenological phases of flowering throughout the year, with fruiting and seed dispersal occur-
ring in the rainy and dry season of the region. The phenology of four species aredistinguished according to the temporal distri-
bution of weather events.Objetivou-se caracterizar a fenologia de quarto espécies arbóreas de ocorrência em área de caatinga na região do
Semiárido paraibano. Para tanto, dez indivíduos de cada uma das espécies escolhidas: angico (Anadenanthera colubrina (Vell.)
Brenan) – Fabaceae-Mimosoideae; aroeira (Myracrodruon urundeuva Allemão) – Anacardiaceae; cumaru (Amburana cearen-
sis (Allemão) A.C. Smith) – Fabaceae e oiticica (Licania rigida Benth) – Chrysobalanaceae, foram marcados e numerados
sequencialmente em uma área de caatinga situada na região de Pombal - PB. Quinzenalmente foram realizadas avaliações para
a identificação das fenofases de brotamento, floração, frutificação e dispersão de diásporos ou sementes. As espécies Anade-
nanthera colubrina, Myracrodruon urundeuva e Amburana carensis são classificadas como espécies decíduas, apresentando
abscisão das folhas entre setembro e dezembro (estação seca) e a rebrota entre janeiro e agosto (estação chuvosa) na região do
semiárido paraibano, enquanto a Licania rigida é classificada como uma espécie perene, por não apresentar o fenômeno de
abscisão foliar ao longo do período de avaliação. Todas as espécies estudadas apresentam dispersão de seus diásporos ainda na
estação seca. A espécie Anadenanthera colubrina apresenta diferentes picos nas fenofases de floração ao longo do ano, com
frutificação e dispersão de sementes ocorrendo parte na estação chuvosa e parte na estação seca da região. Os padrões fenoló-
gicos das quatro espécies estudadas são distinguidos de acordo com a distribuição temporal dos eventos climáticos
Estrutura do componente arbustivo/arbóreo de uma área de caatinga situada no município de Pombal, PB
The degradation of the Caatinga by the antropic action it compromises each time more the natural resources
and the support of bioma. In this way, aiming at to increase the knowledge about the vegetation, it was objectified to
carry through a phyto-sociologic survey in a situated area of caatinga, in Pombal - PB. For sampling of the
arbustive/arboreal component had been launched 25 parcels of 400m2
of systematic way with spacement of 10 m. The
individuals with circumference had been showed to the height of the chest (CAP) ≥ 6 cm. Later it was made the
calculus for the phyto-sociologic parameters, diametric distribution and floristic similarity between the parcels.
Analyzing the points, were gotten 2.756 pertaining individuals to 23 taxons and 14 families, which one 1,860 belonged
to the same species. The index of diversity of the area is about 1.33 nats/ind-1. The basal area calculated was about
11.546 m2

amostragem do componente arbustivo/arbóreo foram lançadas 25 parcelas de 400 m2

espaçamento de 10 m. Foram amostrados todos os indivíduos com circunferência altura do peito (CAP) ≥ 6 cm.
Posteriormente fez-se os cálculos para os parâmetros fitossociológicos, distribuição diamétrica e similaridade florística
entre as parcelas. Analisando os dados, obteve-se 2.756 indivíduos pertencentes a 23 táxons e 14 famílias dos quais
1.860 pertencia à mesma espécie. O índice de diversidade da área é de 1,33 nats/ind-1. A área basal calculada foi de

A central role for free heme in the pathogenesis of severe sepsis.
Low-grade polymicrobial infection induced by cecal ligation and puncture is lethal in heme oxygenase-1-deficient mice (Hmox1(-/-)), but not in wild-type (Hmox1(+/+)) mice. Here we demonstrate that the protective effect of this heme-catabolizing enzyme relies on its ability to prevent tissue damage caused by the circulating free heme released from hemoglobin during infection. Heme administration after low-grade infection in mice promoted tissue damage and severe sepsis. Free heme contributed to the pathogenesis of severe sepsis irrespective of pathogen load, revealing that it compromised host tolerance to infection. Development of lethal forms of severe sepsis after high-grade infection was associated with reduced serum concentrations of the heme sequestering protein hemopexin (HPX), whereas HPX administration after high-grade infection prevented tissue damage and lethality. Finally, the lethal outcome of septic shock in patients was also associated with reduced HPX serum concentrations. We propose that targeting free heme by HPX might be used therapeutically to treat severe sepsis

In-hospital mortality and severe outcomes after hospital discharge due to COVID-19: A prospective multicenter study from Brazil.
BackgroundWe evaluated in-hospital mortality and outcomes incidence after hospital discharge due to COVID-19 in a Brazilian multicenter cohort.MethodsThis prospective multicenter study (RECOVER-SUS, NCT04807699) included COVID-19 patients hospitalized in public tertiary hospitals in Brazil from June 2020 to March 2021. Clinical assessment and blood samples were performed at hospital admission, with post-hospital discharge remote visits. Hospitalized participants were followed-up until March 31, 2021. The outcomes were in-hospital mortality and incidence of rehospitalization or death after hospital discharge. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional-hazard models were performed.Findings1589 participants [54.5% male, age=62 (IQR 50-70) years; BMI=28.4 (IQR,24.9-32.9) Kg/m² and 51.9% with diabetes] were included. A total of 429 individuals [27.0% (95%CI,24.8-29.2)] died during hospitalization (median time 14 (IQR,9-24) days). Older age [vs<40 years; age=60-69 years-aHR=1.89 (95%CI,1.08-3.32); age=70-79 years-aHR=2.52 (95%CI,1.42-4.45); age≥80-aHR=2.90 (95%CI 1.54-5.47)]; noninvasive or mechanical ventilation at admission [vs facial-mask or none; aHR=1.69 (95%CI 1.30-2.19)]; SAPS-III score≥57 [vs<57; aHR=1.47 (95%CI 1.13-1.92)] and SOFA score≥10 [vs <10; aHR=1.51 (95%CI 1.08-2.10)] were independently associated with in-hospital mortality. A total of 65 individuals [6.7% (95%CI 5.3-8.4)] had a rehospitalization or death [rate=323 (95%CI 250-417) per 1000 person-years] in a median time of 52 (range 1-280) days post-hospital discharge. Age ≥ 60 years [vs <60, aHR=2.13 (95%CI 1.15-3.94)] and SAPS-III ≥57 at admission [vs <57, aHR=2.37 (95%CI 1.22-4.59)] were independently associated with rehospitalization or death after hospital discharge.InterpretationHigh in-hospital mortality rates due to COVID-19 were observed and elderly people remained at high risk of rehospitalization and death after hospital discharge.FundingFundação Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ), Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) and Programa INOVA-FIOCRUZ
