Accuracy of risk factors for nursing diagnosis risk of infection in people with AIDS*

Objetivo: Evaluar la precisión de los factores de riesgo de infección que componen el diagnóstico de enfermería de riesgo de infección en personas hospitalizadas con SIDA. Método: Es un estudio de precisión con diseño de casos y controles realizado con 208 personas con SIDA, hospitalizadas entre los años 2010 y 2016. Los casos incluían a personas que vivían con el VIH, que estaban internadas y habían desarrollado una infección derivada de la atención sanitaria, y los controles correspondían a aquellas que no desarrollaron la infección. Se utilizaron datos secundarios de las historias clínicas y de los formularios de la investigación para la evaluación sociodemográfica y clínica y para la investigación de la presencia o ausencia de factores de riesgo, en la recogida de los datos. La precisión de los indicadores clínicos del diagnóstico se calculó mediante la especificidad, la sensibilidad y los valores predictivos. Resultados: El factor de riesgo con mayor sensibilidad y especificidad fue la enfermedad crónica, mientas que el procedimiento invasivo y la alteración de la integridad de la piel presentaron el valor predictivo positivo más alto. Conclusión: Los diagnósticos precisos ayudan a los enfermeros a construir un plan de intervenciones de enfermería volcado hacia las necesidades de dicha población.Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of risk factors for infection that add up to the nursing diagnosis risk of infection in people with AIDS who are hospitalized. Method: Accuracy study with case-control design carried out with a total of 208 people living with AIDS and hospitalized between 2010 and 2016. The cases comprised people living with HIV, hospitalized and who developed infection related to health care and controls to those who did not develop it. Secondary data from medical records and research forms were used to respond to the data collection instrument for sociodemographic, clinical evaluation and investigation of the presence or absence of risk factors. The accuracy of clinical diagnostic indicators was measured through specificity, sensitivity and predictive values. Results: The risk factor that showed the greatest sensitivity and specificity was chronic illness, while the invasive procedure and the change in the integrity of the skin had the highest positive predictive value.

ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS: a data set of bird morphological traits from the Atlantic forests of South America

Scientists have long been trying to understand why the Neotropical region holds the highest diversity of birds on Earth. Recently, there has been increased interest in morphological variation between and within species, and in how climate, topography, and anthropogenic pressures may explain and affect phenotypic variation. Because morphological data are not always available for many species at the local or regional scale, we are limited in our understanding of intra- and interspecies spatial morphological variation. Here, we present the ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS, a data set that includes measurements of up to 44 morphological traits in 67,197 bird records from 2,790 populations distributed throughout the Atlantic forests of South America. This data set comprises information, compiled over two centuries (1820–2018), for 711 bird species, which represent 80% of all known bird diversity in the Atlantic Forest. Among the most commonly reported traits are sex (n = 65,717), age (n = 63,852), body mass (n = 58,768), flight molt presence (n = 44,941), molt presence (n = 44,847), body molt presence (n = 44,606), tail length (n = 43,005), reproductive stage (n = 42,588), bill length (n = 37,409), body length (n = 28,394), right wing length (n = 21,950), tarsus length (n = 20,342), and wing length (n = 18,071). The most frequently recorded species are Chiroxiphia caudata (n = 1,837), Turdus albicollis (n = 1,658), Trichothraupis melanops (n = 1,468), Turdus leucomelas (n = 1,436), and Basileuterus culicivorus (n = 1,384). The species recorded in the greatest number of sampling localities are Basileuterus culicivorus (n = 243), Trichothraupis melanops (n = 242), Chiroxiphia caudata (n = 210), Platyrinchus mystaceus (n = 208), and Turdus rufiventris (n = 191). ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS (ABT) is the most comprehensive data set on measurements of bird morphological traits found in a biodiversity hotspot; it provides data for basic and applied research at multiple scales, from individual to community, and from the local to the macroecological perspectives.

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
