Covid-19 pandemic impacts on postoperative patients of bariatric surgery / Impactos da pandemia da Covid-19 em pacientes no período de pós-operatório da cirurgia bariátrica

The World Health Organization declared a global pandemic for the new coronavirus on March 11, 2020. The present study aims at describing the impact of coping with the COVID-19 pandemic on bariatric post-surgery patients. This is a cross-sectional study with a qualitative approach in which data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The sample consisted of bariatric post-surgery patients from the bariatric surgery service of a university hospital as well as from a private health service. Four major thematic axes were established from the set of questions to the participants and their answers were analyzed and classified into categories after the transcription of the interviews was done. The results reveal that there are impacts on coping with the pandemic when it comes to emotional and dietary issues and physical exercise. It also shows the emergence of fears for having experienced a post-operative period of bariatric surgery during a pandemic scenario

O MANEJO DA DOR EM INDIVÍDUOS QUE POSSUEM FIBROMIALGIA: UMA REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA DE LITERATURA.

A Fibromialgia(FM) é uma patologia crônica, multifatorial e não progressiva diretamente relacionada à percepção da dor descrita pelo paciente ao longo do atendimento clínico, já que a realização e análise de exames físicos, laboratoriais e de imagem, na maioria das vezes, não apresentam alterações ou indicativos de patologias, como inflamações e lesões ou degenerações teciduais, dificultando a conclusão e compreensão do seu diagnóstico. O termo fibromialgia foi cunhado pela primeira vez por uma revisão de Hench em 1976, mas seu reconhecimento como síndrome ocorreu após publicação do trabalho de Yunus et al. em 1981. (HENCH, 1976; YUNUS et al., 1981).  O Colégio Americano de Reumatologia (ACR), no ano de 1990, elaborou critérios de classificação e justificativas para o manejo da FM que foram aceitos pelo meio científico. Tal fato contribuiu muito para a um padronização do diagnóstico fibromiálgico e impulsionou de forma imensamente engajadora os estudos sobre essa doença. (WOLFE et al., 1990) A caracterização da FM é descrita normalmente por dores exacerbadas e difusas em variadas regiões do corpo, ou seja, uma hipersensibilidade dolorosa, até mesmo ao leve toque, classificada, também, como queixas álgicas, que se manifestam em momentos após traumas ou estresses, como brigas familiares, práticas de atitudes não desejadas pelo paciente, sensações e emoções consideradas prejudiciais à saúde mental e ao bem-estar deste, sendo, muitas vezes, sua expressividade emocional relacionada à recaptação dos neurotransmissores serotonina e a noradrenalina pelo sistema nervoso. (RIBEIRO E PATO, 2004) Nesse contexto, também observa-se que existe correlação entre outros sinais e sintomas que interferem intensificando o quadro das dores transmitidas pelos neurotransmissores no paciente, como a depressão, a ansiedade, cefaleia, náuseas, distúrbios intestinais, fadigas musculares, insônia e as manias. (HOEFLER E DIAS, 2010) Um fator bastante relevante para atuar de forma eficiente com a demanda de tratamento para essa síndrome de hipersensibilidade é a empatia e escuta ativa do paciente, já que a ausência de provas para a sua comprovação, é o principal fator que, na maioria das vezes, gera descaso e desvalorização do quadro do paciente, o fazendo retornar em inúmeros momentos a consultas médicas para a busca do diagnóstico e da compreensão do que este realmente sofre. No contexto atual, existem exames que possibilitam a análise do cérebro em tempo real, observando as interações e o comportamento desse sistema, diante de possíveis fatores de influência, tais medidas, que ainda são inovadoras no âmbito da medicina, e estão corroborando para o auxílio de pacientes com Fibromialgia, ratificando e investigando os sinais neurais que geram a dor relatada pelos pacientes.  Tal dor, em consenso científico, já tem a sua existência associada a situações e emoções que provocam piora das dores da FM e está pode desencadear entraves além dos sintomatológicos, como afastamento social, alteração do sono, cansaço, distúrbios emocionais e instabilidades urinárias e intestinais. &nbsp

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 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. Please cite this data paper when using the data in publications. We also request that researchers and teachers inform us on how they are using the data
