    Objetivo: compreender os aspectos que influenciam a não adesão ao tratamento da doençafalciforme em uma família com vários membros adoecidos.Método: estudo de caso único realizado com quatro irmãos com doença falciforme acompanhadosem um Centro de Referência no estado da Bahia, Brasil. Os dados foram colhidos por questionário,entrevista aberta e desenho-estória com tema.Resultados: os temas emergidos foram: Preconceito e discriminação promovem o autoisolamento;Dificuldade para deslocamento impede as idas ao serviço; A unidade de saúde é um espaço queamplia dúvidas e incertezas; Desesperança leva à desistência do tratamento.Conclusão: amparo social, suporte emocional, instrumental e educacional são essenciais parareduzir a vulnerabilidade da família que vivencia a doença falciforme. Conteúdos abordados nasunidades de saúde necessitam incluir perspectivas de experiências positivas, fomentando esperançae construção de sentidos para a vida no processo de adoecimento crônico, a fim de aumentar aadesão ao tratamento.Objective: To gain insight on the aspects that impact non-adherence to sickle cell diseasetreatment in a family with several sick members.Method: Single case study of four siblings with sickle cell disease monitored at a ReferralCenter in the state of Bahia, Brazil. Data was collected with the use of a questionnaire, openinterviews and themed story-drawing.Results: The following themes emerged: Prejudice and discrimination promote self-isolation;Transportation problems prevent patients to get to health services; The health unit is a spacethat amplifies doubts and uncertainty; Hopelessness leads to treatment withdrawal.Conclusion: Social assistance, emotional, instrumental and educational support are essentialto reduce the vulnerability of families experiencing sickle cell disease. The contents addressedin health facilities must include perspectives on positive experiences, encouraging hope andthe construction of meanings during life in the process of chronic illness, in order to increasetreatment adherence.Objetivo: comprender los aspectos que influyen en la no adhesión al tratamiento de laenfermedad falciforme en una familia con varios miembros enfermos.Método: estudio de caso único que se realizó con cuatro hermanos con enfermedad falciformeasistidos en un Centro de Referencia en el estado de Bahia, Brasil.

    RESUMO: Objetivo: Compartilhar a experiência de cuidado e ensino de enfermeiras durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Método: Relato de experiência, envolvendo enfermeiras do estado da Bahia, durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Resultados: Foram construídas três categorias: Medo constante e que aumentava; Alterações no cotidiano: implicações para a vida, atividades laborais e acadêmicas; e Repercussões para a saúde. As enfermeiras experienciaram o medo da contaminação e morte, de si próprias e de seus familiares, além de repercussões na saúde como ansiedade, distúrbios do sono, irritabilidade, tristeza, isolamento, incertezas e dúvidas em relação ao futuro. Outrossim, as atividades acadêmicas remotas também contribuíram na sobrecarga das funções acadêmicas e laborais das enfermeiras. Conclusão: A pandemia impôs novos ritmos e modos de organização do trabalho de cuidado e de ensino que exigiu das instituições de saúde e de profissionais, rápidas respostas a questões por vezes atendidas precariamente; a sobrecarga de trabalho, o medo de se contaminar e contaminar familiares teve um grande impacto na saúde das trabalhadoras de enfermagem, levando ao adoecimento físico e mental

    NEOTROPICAL XENARTHRANS: a data set of occurrence of xenarthran species in the Neotropics

    Xenarthrans—anteaters, sloths, and armadillos—have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting pressure, and conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 species of armadillos, 10 anteaters, and 6 sloths. Our data set includes the families Chlamyphoridae (13), Dasypodidae (7), Myrmecophagidae (3), Bradypodidae (4), and Megalonychidae (2). We have no occurrence data on Dasypus pilosus (Dasypodidae). Regarding Cyclopedidae, until recently, only one species was recognized, but new genetic studies have revealed that the group is represented by seven species. In this data paper, we compiled a total of 42,528 records of 31 species, represented by occurrence and quantitative data, totaling 24,847 unique georeferenced records. The geographic range is from the southern United States, Mexico, and Caribbean countries at the northern portion of the Neotropics, to the austral distribution in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. Regarding anteaters, Myrmecophaga tridactyla has the most records (n = 5,941), and Cyclopes sp. have the fewest (n = 240). The armadillo species with the most data is Dasypus novemcinctus (n = 11,588), and the fewest data are recorded for Calyptophractus retusus (n = 33). With regard to sloth species, Bradypus variegatus has the most records (n = 962), and Bradypus pygmaeus has the fewest (n = 12). Our main objective with Neotropical Xenarthrans is to make occurrence and quantitative data available to facilitate more ecological research, particularly if we integrate the xenarthran data with other data sets of Neotropical Series that will become available very soon (i.e., Neotropical Carnivores, Neotropical Invasive Mammals, and Neotropical Hunters and Dogs). Therefore, studies on trophic cascades, hunting pressure, habitat loss, fragmentation effects, species invasion, and climate change effects will be possible with the Neotropical Xenarthrans data set. Please cite this data paper when using its data in publications. We also request that researchers and teachers inform us of how they are using these data

    Characterisation of microbial attack on archaeological bone

    As part of an EU funded project to investigate the factors influencing bone preservation in the archaeological record, more than 250 bones from 41 archaeological sites in five countries spanning four climatic regions were studied for diagenetic alteration. Sites were selected to cover a range of environmental conditions and archaeological contexts. Microscopic and physical (mercury intrusion porosimetry) analyses of these bones revealed that the majority (68%) had suffered microbial attack. Furthermore, significant differences were found between animal and human bone in both the state of preservation and the type of microbial attack present. These differences in preservation might result from differences in early taphonomy of the bones. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
