PANORAMA OF CHIKUNGUNYA'S INCIDENCE BETWEEN 2014 AND 2017: A COMPARATIVE BETWEEN TOCANTINS AND BRAZIL

Introdução: O Chikungunya vírus é um RNA vírus do gênero Alphavirus, transmitido por vetores Aedes ssp. A partir de 2005, poucos casos clínicos graves e óbitos haviam sido associados a infecção pelo vírus. Quadros graves tornaram-se conhecidos após circulação viral em extensas epidemias. No Brasil, detectou-se transmissão autóctone apenas em 2014 e no Tocantins a partir de 2015. Este trabalho objetiva avaliar e comparar as taxas de incidência (TI) da Chikungunya de 2014 a 2017 do Tocantins e do Brasil. Material e métodos: trata-se de uma avaliação transversal, retrospectiva e descritiva, baseada nos dados fornecidos pelo Ministério da Saúde via Sistema Nacional de Agravos Notificáveis. Foram analisadas as TI de 2014 a 2017 do Tocantins e do Brasil. Resultados: A TI da Chikungunya no Tocantins partiu de 0 em 2014 para 209,9 em 2017, com tendência nos últimos três anos sempre crescente. Já no Brasil, a TI saiu de 0,03 em 2014, atingindo a máxima de 127 em 2016 e queda para 85,8 em 2017. Comparando as TI do Tocantins e Brasil, em 2017, a do estado superou a nacional em 244,63%. Discussão: A inclusão da Chikungunya entre os diagnósticos diferenciais de arboviroses faz com que o sistema de vigilância nacional seja então submetido a dificuldades inerentes às epidemias. A subnotificação e a divergência nos critérios diagnósticos sujeitam por igual os números de casos possíveis. Todavia, o fato da TI crescente no Tocantins não acompanhar a tendência nacional de redução no ano de 2017 pode indicar outros fatores influentes. Condições ambientais, coinfecção, disponibilidade de exames diagnósticos ágeis nos serviços de saúde e eficácia das medidas preventivas poderiam justificar tal dissonância. Conclusão: A situação atual da Chikungunya requer um seguimento mais apurado, e a identificação da divergência na TI entre Tocantins e Brasil pode servir de subsídio para novos estudos.   Palavras-chave: Epidemiologia; Incidência; Infecções por Arbovírus; Sistemas de Informação em Saúde; Vírus Chikungunya. ABSTRACT Introduction: Chikungunya is an RNA virus of the genus Alphavirus, transmitted by Aedes ssp. Since 2005, few serious clinical cases and deaths had been associated with virus infection. Severe conditions became known after viral circulation in extensive epidemics. In Brazil, autochthonous transmission was detected only from 2014, whereas in Tocantins only from 2015. This study aims to evaluate and compare the incidence rates (IR) of Chikungunya from 2014 to 2017 of Tocantins and Brazil. Material and methods: this is a transversal, retrospective and descriptive evaluation, based on data provided by the Ministry of Health via the National System of Notifiable Diseases. IR were analyzed from 2014 to 2017 of Tocantins and Brazil. Results: Chikungunya's IR in Tocantins went from 0 in 2014 to 209.9 in 2017, with an increasing trend in the last three years. In Brazil, IR went from 0.03 in 2014 to 127 in 2016 and fell to 85.8 in 2017. Comparing IR from Tocantins and Brazil in 2017, the state's IR exceeded national by 244,63%. Discussion: The inclusion of Chikungunya among the differential diagnoses of arboviruses makes the national surveillance system to be subjected to difficulties inherent in epidemics. Underreporting and divergence in diagnostic criteria equally subject the number of possible cases. However, the fact that the growing IR in Tocantins does not follow the national reduction trend in the year 2017 may indicate other influential factors. Environmental conditions, coinfection, availability of agile diagnostic tests in health services and efficacy of preventive measures could justify such dissonance. Conclusion: The current situation of Chikungunya requires a more accurate follow-up, and the identification of the divergence in IR between Tocantins and Brazil can serve as a subsidy for new studies.

TRATAMENTO DE OCLUSÃO ARTERIAL AGUDA POR ÊMBOLO SÉPTICO COM SONDA DE FOGARTY EM GESTANTE COM ENDOCARDITE INFECCIOSA

A endocardite infecciosa é uma infecção microbiana do endotélio cardíaco potencialmente grave e rara durante a gestação. Partes da vegetação infecciosa podem se desprender, formando êmbolos sépticos, que se impactados, podem provocar infarto renal, infarto agudo do miocárdio e oclusão arterial aguda (OAA). Essa última se caracteriza pela obstrução do fluxo arterial que nutre o segmento distal do vaso acometido, repercutindo clinicamente com todas as manifestações oriundas da isquemia gerada.  Este trabalho tem como objetivo relatar um caso de OAA em gestante, com sucesso terapêutico clínico e cirúrgico, para conhecimento da comunidade médica. O tratamento da complicação vai depender da classificação da oclusão podendo ser desde amputação do membro, tratamento intervencionista ou conservador.   &nbsp

PERFIL EPIDEMIOLÓGICO DA RAIVA NO BRASIL DE 2010 A 2019

A raiva humana é uma doença letal que está presente em diversos países do mundo, sendo o Brasil um deles. Dessa maneira, o objetivo do presente estudo foi traçar o perfil epidemiológico da doença entre os anos de 2010 e 2019. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo epidemiológico descritivo, por meio da coleta de dados anuais disponibilizados pelo Sistema de Informação de Agravos e Notificação (SINAN) do Departamento de Informação e Informática do SUS (DATASUS). A pesquisa obteve um total de 37 casos confirmados de Raiva. Ainda, há uma prevalência da doença entre homens e crianças, sobretudo em residentes da zona rural. Dessa maneira, medidas de profilaxia e campanhas de vacinação são necessárias para o reduzir o avanço da doença

ETIOPATOGENIA E DIAGNÓSTICO DA TROMBOSE VENOSA PROFUNDA NA GESTAÇÃO: REVISÃO DE LITERATURA

Introduction: Gestation and the postpartum period are associated with several physiological changes that result in an increased risk of thromboembolic events. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is an important cause of maternal morbidity and mortality and is presented through two different clinical entities: pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The manifestation of common signs and symptoms during pregnancy associated with limitation in the use of radiatiotn and normal progressive elevation of D-dimer make the diagnosis of DVT during pregnancy challenging. Development: This is a review article based on systematically selected papers in the MEDLINE and LILACS databases based on the indexes: venous thrombosis, pregnancy and diagnosis. Final considerations: Gestation represents a transient prothrombotic state, where all components of the Virchow triad are affected. Several factors associated with the gestational period result in an epidemiological pattern and distinct clinical manifestation of the non-pregnant population. DVT represents the majority of cases of symptomatic VTE in the prepartum period and predominantly affects the proximal venous system. The prothrombotic state results in elevation of D-dimer levels in pregnancy, decreasing the specificity of the test. Compression ultrasonography represents the examination of choice in view of the suspicion of DVT during pregnancy. The diagnostic investigation has important limitations and needs studies directed to the development and improvement of strategies for the diagnosis of DVT in pregnant women.Introdução: A gestação e o período pós-parto estão associados a diversas alterações fisiológicas que resultam na elevação do risco de eventos tromboembólicos. O tromboembolismo venoso (TEV) representa uma importante causa de morbimortalidade materna e se apresenta por meio de duas entidades clínicas diferentes: embolia pulmonar (EP) e trombose venosa profunda (TVP). A manifestação de sinais e sintomas comuns durante a gravidez associada à limitação do uso de radiação e elevação progressiva normal do D-dímero tornam o diagnóstico da TVP na gestação um desafio. Desenvolvimento: Trata-se de um artigo de revisão a partir de trabalhos selecionados sistematicamente nas bases de dados MEDLINE e LILACS com base nos indexadores: trombose venosa, gravidez e diagnóstico. Considerações finais: A gestação representa um estado pró-trombótico transitório, onde todos os componentes da tríade de Virchow são afetados. Diversos fatores associados ao período gestacional resultam em um padrão epidemiológico e de manifestação clínica distinto da população não gestante. A TVP representa a maioria dos casos de TEV sintomáticos no período pré-parto e acomete predominantemente o sistema venoso proximal. O estado pró-trombótico resulta na elevação dos níveis de D-dímero na gravidez, diminuindo a especificidade do exame. A ultrassonografia compressiva representa o exame de escolha diante da suspeita de TVP na gestação. A investigação diagnóstica possui limitações importantes e necessita de estudos direcionados para o desenvolvimento e aperfeiçoamento de estratégias para o diagnóstico de TVP em gestante.   Palavras-chave: Trombose Venosa; Gravidez; Diagnóstico.

COMPLICAÇÕES E MANEJO DO ACRETISMO PLACENTÁRIO: UMA REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA

Introduction: Placental accreta is a severe and complex obstetric condition that is becoming more common due to the increase in cesarean sections and other uterine interventions. This condition occurs when the placenta adheres abnormally to the uterine muscle, varying in severity as placenta accreta, increta, and percreta. It can cause serious complications, such as heavy bleeding and the need for a hysterectomy. Early diagnosis, made by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, is crucial for proper management. The increased incidence is linked to risk factors such as previous cesarean sections, multiparity, advanced maternal age, and a history of uterine curettage. Methodology: Ten relevant scientific articles were selected, published in Portuguese, English and Spanish, found in databases such as PubMed, SciELO and Google Scholar, using terms such as "placental accreta", "diagnosis", "clinical management" and "complications". Original studies, systematic reviews, and case reports on the diagnosis, management, and complications of placental accreta were included, excluding studies with non-human populations, non-full-text articles, and publications prior to 2010. Results: The integrative review resulted in the selection of ten relevant scientific articles that address the management and complications of placental accreta. The main topics include diagnosis, clinical management and treatment, with emphasis on medical management and the multidisciplinary team. The most frequent complications identified were postpartum hemorrhage, need for hysterectomy, and damage to other organs. The introduction of multidisciplinary teams and new surgical techniques has been shown to be effective in reducing maternal morbidity. Conclusions: The creation of specialized teams has been shown to be effective in reducing maternal morbidity in severe cases. Major complications, such as postpartum hemorrhage and the need for hysterectomy, can be better managed with proper planning and timely interventions. Diagnostic tools, such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, are essential for early detection. The implementation of protocols and new surgical techniques has also shown promise. However, there is a need for further studies with larger samples to consolidate the evidence and improve management strategies for this complex condition.Introduction: Placental accreta is a severe and complex obstetric condition that is becoming more common due to the increase in cesarean sections and other uterine interventions.

Esta condição ocorre quando a placenta adere anormalmente ao músculo uterino, variando em gravidade como placenta acreta, increta e percreta. Ela pode causar complicações sérias, como hemorragias intensas e a necessidade de histerectomia. O diagnóstico precoce, feito por ultrassonografia e ressonância magnética, é crucial para um manejo adequado. O aumento da incidência está ligado a fatores de risco como cesarianas anteriores, multiparidade, idade materna avançada e histórico de curetagem uterina. Metodologia: Foram selecionados dez artigos científicos relevantes, publicados em português, inglês e espanhol, encontrados em bases de dados como PubMed, SciELO e Google Scholar, usando termos como "acretismo placentário", "diagnóstico", "manejo clínico" e "complicações". Incluíram-se estudos originais, revisões sistemáticas e relatos de casos sobre o diagnóstico, manejo e complicações do acretismo placentário, excluindo estudos com populações não humanas, artigos sem texto completo e publicações anteriores a 2010. Resultados: A revisão integrativa resultou na seleção de dez artigos científicos relevantes que abordam o manejo e as complicações do acretismo placentário. Os principais temas incluem diagnóstico, manejo clínico e tratamento, com ênfase na conduta médica e da equipe multiprofissional. As complicações mais frequentes identificadas foram hemorragia pós-parto, necessidade de histerectomia e lesões a outros órgãos. A introdução de equipes multidisciplinares e novas técnicas cirúrgicas mostrou-se eficaz na redução da morbidade materna. Conclusões: A criação de equipes especializadas mostrou-se eficaz na redução da morbidade materna em casos graves. As principais complicações, como hemorragia pós-parto e necessidade de histerectomia, podem ser melhor gerenciadas com planejamento adequado e intervenções oportunas. Ferramentas diagnósticas, como ultrassonografia e ressonância magnética, são essenciais para a detecção precoce. A implementação de protocolos e novas técnicas cirúrgicas também se mostrou promissora. No entanto, há necessidade de mais estudos com amostras maiores para consolidar as evidências e aprimorar as estratégias de manejo dessa condição complexa

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Taking the pulse of Earth's tropical forests using networks of highly distributed plots

Tropical forests are the most diverse and productive ecosystems on Earth. While better understanding of these forests is critical for our collective future, until quite recently efforts to measure and monitor them have been largely disconnected. Networking is essential to discover the answers to questions that transcend borders and the horizons of funding agencies. Here we show how a global community is responding to the challenges of tropical ecosystem research with diverse teams measuring forests tree-by-tree in thousands of long-term plots. We review the major scientific discoveries of this work and show how this process is changing tropical forest science. Our core approach involves linking long-term grassroots initiatives with standardized protocols and data management to generate robust scaled-up results. By connecting tropical researchers and elevating their status, our Social Research Network model recognises the key role of the data originator in scientific discovery. Conceived in 1999 with RAINFOR (South America), our permanent plot networks have been adapted to Africa (AfriTRON) and Southeast Asia (T-FORCES) and widely emulated worldwide. Now these multiple initiatives are integrated via ForestPlots.net cyber-infrastructure, linking colleagues from 54 countries across 24 plot networks. Collectively these are transforming understanding of tropical forests and their biospheric role. Together we have discovered how, where and why forest carbon and biodiversity are responding to climate change, and how they feedback on it. This long-term pan-tropical collaboration has revealed a large long-term carbon sink and its trends, as well as making clear which drivers are most important, which forest processes are affected, where they are changing, what the lags are, and the likely future responses of tropical forests as the climate continues to change. By leveraging a remarkably old technology, plot networks are sparking a very modern revolution in tropical forest science. In the future, humanity can benefit greatly by nurturing the grassroots communities now collectively capable of generating unique, long-term understanding of Earth's most precious forests.Additional co-authors: Susan Laurance, William Laurance, Francoise Yoko Ishida, Andrew Marshall, Catherine Waite, Hannsjoerg Woell, Jean-Francois Bastin, Marijn Bauters, Hans Beeckman, Pfascal Boeckx, Jan Bogaert, Charles De Canniere, Thales de Haulleville, Jean-Louis Doucet, Olivier Hardy, Wannes Hubau, Elizabeth Kearsley, Hans Verbeeck, Jason Vleminckx, Steven W.
