Linfomas em pacientes com a forma hepatoesplênica da esquistossomose mansônica
RACIONAL: Cada vez mais se estabelece a correlação entre agentes infecciosos e doenças linfoproliferativas, sobretudo vírus e bactérias, através da ativação de linfócitos. OBJETIVO: Descrever 6 novos casos, de uma série de 254 pacientes (2,36%) com esquistossomose mansônica na forma hepatoesplênica. CASUÍSTICA E MÉTODOS: São descritos 6 pacientes, dentre os 254 portadores de esquistossomose mansônica na forma hepatoesplênica, acompanhados nos últimos 13 anos no Serviço de Cirurgia Geral do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Recife, PE. RESULTADOS: Todos os seis casos ocorreram em mulheres. Os exames histopatológicos evidenciaram dois casos de linfomas de zona marginal esplênica, um de linfoma de grandes células com imunoblastos, um de linfoma difuso de grandes células, um de linfoma maligno de grandes células não clivadas, e um outro caso de doença de Hodgkin. Metade das seis pacientes evoluiu para o óbito entre 4 a 15 meses após o diagnóstico. As outras três persistem em acompanhamento no Serviço de Oncologia da mesma instituição. CONCLUSÃO: A incidência de linfoma nos 254 pacientes acompanhados foi de 2,36%. Pretende-se chamar a atenção para a ocorrência de linfomas nos baços de pacientes com esquistossomose mansônica, na forma hepatoesplênica

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 Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae).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.
