    Síndrome do burnout (SB) é um fenômeno relacionado a respostas organismo a fatores estressores presentes no ambiente laboral. A Policia Militar (PM) é a primeira linha no combate à criminalidade. Nesse sentido, suas condições de trabalho podem expô-los sofrimento psíquico e emergência desta doença. O objetivo do estudo foi elucidar as principais características da PM de Imperatriz-MA relacionadas a SB. A pesquisa teve caráter transversal e analítico. Foi aplicado um questionário abordando questões sociodemográficas e sobre exaustão emocional. A análise das variáveis foi feita utilizando frequências absoluta e relativas e as associações realizadas através do teste qui-quadrado. Como resultados obteve-se que 36,29% dos entrevistados tinham possibilidade de desenvolver SB; 12,90% haviam sinais de instalação da síndrome e 8,06% poderiam estar em fase considerável da doença. A maioria dos policiais que possuíam algum indicio da SB eram casados ou em união estável (31,5%) e possuíam mais que 4 anos de atuação (27,4%), ademais notou-se que ocorrência de sintomas era mais significante no sexo masculino (40,3%). Os dados contribuíram para fortalecer a necessidade de uma atenção especial para a população estudada. Portanto, sendo o burnout uma doença decorrente do estresse laboral, precisa ser combatido de maneira incisiva.ABSTRACTBurnout syndrome (BS) is a phenomenon related to organism responses to stressors present in the work environment. The Military Police (MP) is the first line in the fight against crime. In this sense, their working conditions can expose them to the psychological suffering and emergence of this disease. The objective of the study was to elucidate the main characteristics of MP of Imperatriz-MA related to BS. The research was transversal and analytical. A questionnaire was applied addressing sociodemographic issues and emotional exhaustion. Variables were analyzed using absolute and relative frequencies and associations performed using the chi-square test. As a result, it was obtained that 36.29% of the interviewees had the possibility of developing BS; 12.90% had signs of the syndrome, and 8.06% could be at a considerable stage of the disease. The majority of the participants who had some indication of BS were married or in a stable union (31.5%) and had more than 4 years of service (27.4%). In addition, it was noticed that the occurrence of symptoms was more significant in the sex male (40.3%). The data contributed to strengthening the need for special attention to the population studied. Therefore, since burnout is a disease due to occupational stress, it must be tackled in an incisive manner

    Mammals are threatened worldwide, with 26% of all species being includedin the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associatedwith habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mam-mals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion formarine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems func-tionality and resilience, and therefore information on their distribution is cru-cial to delineate and support conservation actions. MAMMALS INPORTUGAL is a publicly available data set compiling unpublishedgeoreferenced occurrence records of 92 terrestrial, volant, and marine mam-mals in mainland Portugal and archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira thatincludes 105,026 data entries between 1873 and 2021 (72% of the data occur-ring in 2000 and 2021). The methods used to collect the data were: live obser-vations/captures (43%), sign surveys (35%), camera trapping (16%),bioacoustics surveys (4%) and radiotracking, and inquiries that represent lessthan 1% of the records. The data set includes 13 types of records: (1) burrowsjsoil moundsjtunnel, (2) capture, (3) colony, (4) dead animaljhairjskullsjjaws, (5) genetic confirmation, (6) inquiries, (7) observation of live animal (8),observation in shelters, (9) photo trappingjvideo, (10) predators dietjpelletsjpine cones/nuts, (11) scatjtrackjditch, (12) telemetry and (13) vocalizationjecholocation. The spatial uncertainty of most records ranges between 0 and100 m (76%). Rodentia (n=31,573) has the highest number of records followedby Chiroptera (n=18,857), Carnivora (n=18,594), Lagomorpha (n=17,496),Cetartiodactyla (n=11,568) and Eulipotyphla (n=7008). The data setincludes records of species classified by the IUCN as threatened(e.g.,Oryctolagus cuniculus[n=12,159],Monachus monachus[n=1,512],andLynx pardinus[n=197]).

    Background and Aims: Brush cytology during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the most frequently used strategy for obtaining a tissue sample from an indeterminate biliary stricture. A recent study reported that age is a factor associated with positive yields, but further analysis of how age influences the results was lacking. We aimed to evaluate clinical effectiveness of biliary cytology and prognostic factors for a positive outcome, especially age. Methods: This study was a single-center, retrospective, clinical study of 77 consecutive patients who underwent brush cytology during ERCP to obtain a diagnosis of an indeterminate biliary stricture. We compared 2 routine cytology techniques: A (smear); B (centrifugation of the cytological material collected and the cut-off brush + cell block when sufficient amount of material was available). The data were collected aiming to compare the accuracy of the different techniques used and the prognostic factors affecting the outcome, with a particular focus on age. The yield for brush cytology was compared with the gold standard defined as either definitive histology or the long-term clinical course. Results: The overall accuracy of the 2 used methods was 75.3%. Sensitivity was 52.5%, specificity was 100%, positive predictive value was 100%, and negative predictive value was 66.1%. Although not statistically significant, there was a trend toward accuracy for method B compared with method A (80.4 vs. 65.4%; p = 0.153). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that younger age was the only independent prognostic factor associated with a positive diagnosis (OR 0.95; 95% CI 0.90–0.99; p = 0.039). Receiver operating characteristic curves for age yielded an area under the curve value of 68.2%. On the basis of the Youden index, 69 years was found to be the optimal cutoff for age. Conclusions: In this series, the accuracy of routine biliary brush cytology was not equal for all methods and ages; in particular, younger patients (below 69 years) tended to have a higher probability of a correct diagnosis

    INTRODUCTION: Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) comes along the years promoting inversion of the relation men/women, committing mainly the productive and reproductive life phase women. The sexuality, inherent upon human being, has in the expression of satisfaction of the sexual performance the possibility of providing several benefits in the quality of life of people, and CD4+ T- lymphocytes are the main marker of immunity of the women living with Aids. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to show up the association between the CD4 count and the sexual performance of women living with AIDS in Imperatriz city. METHODOLOGY: cross-sectional analytical study, carried out in 10 months, selecting women  using antiretroviral therapy at least six months, including those older than 18, having sexual practice before having AIDS, able to answer two questionnaires. Socio-demographic facts were recorded in own form, and sexual performance in the FSFI questionnaire. The sample based in 479 women, sampling error 5%, confidence interval 95%, alpha value ≤ 5%, included 149 women. Chi-square test was used to evaluate the association between the variables. RESULT: The larger FSFI score means and medians coincided with the highest means of CD4 T- lymphocyte count (Kruskal Wallis test, p = 0.0347), and a positive association between FSFI and the CD4 / CD8 ratio (Spearman test, p = 0.0264), confirming the alternative hypothesis. CONCLUSION: In this sample there was a positive association between sexual performance /sexual activity, with or without a condom, with CD4 T- lymphocyte count and CD4 / CD8 ratio. &nbsp
