    A dor neuropática (DN) é caracterizada por uma sensação de queimação, parestesia, dor aguda ou pulsante e pode ser associada a lesões nos nervos periféricos ou no sistema nervoso central. Outrossim, esta dor pode ser causada por distúrbios neurológicos - como a esclerose múltipla ou o acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) - ou por outras condições médicas, como a neuralgia pós-herpética ou a neuropatia diabética. Além disso, a DN também pode ser causada por distúrbios psicológicos, como a depressão; a DN crônica é um dos maiores desafios para os profissionais da saúde, pois seu tratamento é complexo e inclui uma abordagem multidisciplinar, envolvendo o uso de medicamentos, terapias não-farmacológicas, técnicas psicológicas e intervenções cirúrgicas, com o objetivo de aliviar a dor e melhorar a qualidade de vida. Os medicamentos mais utilizados são os anticonvulsivantes, antidepressivos, opiáceos e anestésicos tópicos. As terapias não-farmacológicas podem incluir acupuntura, estimulação magnética transcraniana e estimulação elétrica da medula espinhal. A psicoterapia é uma importante ferramenta para gerenciar a dor, reduzindo o estresse e a ansiedade, além de melhorar as habilidades cognitivas e comportamentais. Por fim, as intervenções cirúrgicas podem ser necessárias para tratar a causa subjacente da dor, como lesões do sistema nervoso periférico ou lesões da coluna vertebral

    Primates play an important role in ecosystem functioning and offer critical insights into human evolution, biology, behavior, and emerging infectious diseases. There are 26 primate species in the Atlantic Forests of South America, 19 of them endemic. We compiled a dataset of 5,472 georeferenced locations of 26 native and 1 introduced primate species, as hybrids in the genera Callithrix and Alouatta. The dataset includes 700 primate communities, 8,121 single species occurrences and 714 estimates of primate population sizes, covering most natural forest types of the tropical and subtropical Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina and some other biomes. On average, primate communities of the Atlantic Forest harbor 2 ± 1 species (range = 1–6). However, about 40% of primate communities contain only one species. Alouatta guariba (N = 2,188 records) and Sapajus nigritus (N = 1,127) were the species with the most records. Callicebus barbarabrownae (N = 35), Leontopithecus caissara (N = 38), and Sapajus libidinosus (N = 41) were the species with the least records. Recorded primate densities varied from 0.004 individuals/km 2 (Alouatta guariba at Fragmento do Bugre, Paraná, Brazil) to 400 individuals/km 2 (Alouatta caraya in Santiago, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil). Our dataset reflects disparity between the numerous primate census conducted in the Atlantic Forest, in contrast to the scarcity of estimates of population sizes and densities. With these data, researchers can develop different macroecological and regional level studies, focusing on communities, populations, species co-occurrence and distribution patterns. Moreover, the data can also be used to assess the consequences of fragmentation, defaunation, and disease outbreaks on different ecological processes, such as trophic cascades, species invasion or extinction, and community dynamics.

    Three hundred and twenty-four DeKalb White laying hens aged 42 weeks were distributed in a completely randomised design with nine treatments and six replicates of six birds in each treatment. The experiment lasted 112 days. Diets were: T1 = 16.02% crude protein - CP [Met + Lys + Thr + Trp + Val]; T2 = 14.02% CP [Met + Lys + Thr + Trp + Ile + Val]; T3 = 14.02% CP [no amino acid supplementation]; T4 = 14.02% CP [Met + Lys + Thr + Trp]; T5 = 14.02% CP [Met + Lys + Thr]; T6 = 14.02% CP [Met]; T7 = 14.02% CP [Lys]; T8 = 14.02% CP [Thr]; T9 = 14.02% CP [Trp]. Regarding the quality of the eggs, the percentage of yolk and albumen, shell thickness and Haugh unit were not affected by the different diets. The percentage of shell, specific gravity and albumen height showed significant differences. We found that supplementation of only one amino acid in the diet (T7, T8 or T9), with the exception of methionine (T6), worsened performance relative to the control. Supplementation of three amino acids (methionine, lysine and threonine; T5) or four amino acids (methionine, lysine, threonine and tryptophan; T4) worsened egg production and conversion per mass and per dozen eggs; however, feed intake and egg weight and mass were similar to the control treatment. When all amino acids (methionine, lysine, threonine, tryptophan, isoleucine and valine; T2) were supplemented performance was similar to the control treatment in all variables. Supplementation of methionine, lysine and threonine is essential for birds in the laying phase; however the addition of six essential amino acids (lysine, methionine, threonine, tryptophan, valine and isoleucine) to the diet of laying hens is important for a good productive performance comparable with the control treatment T1. However, the inclusion of the latter two (isoleucine and valine) is justified only if the production cost is lower.Trezentos e vinte e quatro galinhas poedeiras DeKalb White com idades de 42 semanas foram distribuídas em um delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, com nove tratamentos e seis repetições de seis aves em cada tratamento. O experimento teve duração de 112 dias. As dietas foram: T1 = 16,02% - PB [Met + Lys + Thr + Trp + Val]; T2 = 14,02% PB [Met + Lys + Thr + Trp + Ile + Val]; T3 = 14,02% de PB [sem suplementação de aminoácidos]; T4 = 14,02% CP [Met + Lys + Thr + Trp]; T5 = 14,02% CP [Met + Lys + Thr]; T6 = 14,02% CP [Met]; T7 = 14,02% CP [Lys]; T8 = 14,02% CP [Thr]; T9 = 14,02% CP [Trp]. Em relação à qualidade dos ovos, a porcentagem de gema e albúmen, espessura de casca e a unidade Haugh não foram afetadas pelas dietas diferentes. A percentagem de casca, gravidade específica e altura do albúmen mostraram diferenças significativas. Verificou-se que a suplementação de apenas um aminoácido na dieta (T7; T8 ou T9), com a exceção de metionina (T6), piorou o desempenho das aves em relação a aves que consumiram a dieta controle. A suplementação de três aminoácidos (metionina, lisina e treonina; T5) ou quatro aminoácidos (metionina, lisina, treonina e triptofano; T4) agravou a produção de ovos e conversão por massa e por dúzia de ovos; no entanto, o consumo de ração e peso dos ovos e massa de ovos, o desempenho foi semelhante ao tratamento controle T1. Quando todos os aminoácidos (metionina, lisina, treonina, triptofano, isoleucina e valina; T2) foram suplementados a dieta, o desempenho foi semelhante ao tratamento de controle em todas as variáveis. A suplementação de metionina, lisina e treonina é essencial para as aves na fase de colocação, no entanto, a adição de seis aminoácidos essenciais (lisina, metionina, treonina, triptofano, valina e isoleucina) à dieta de galinhas poedeiras é importante para um bom desempenho produtivo comparável com o tratamento controle. No entanto, a inclusão dos dois últimos (isoleucina e valina) só se justifica o custo de produção é menor

    NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the Neotropics

    No full text
    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.

    The Amazon forest has the highest biodiversity on Earth. However, information on Amazonian vertebrate diversity is still deficient and scattered across the published, peer-reviewed, and gray literature and in unpublished raw data. Camera traps are an effective non-invasive method of surveying vertebrates, applicable to different scales of time and space. In this study, we organized and standardized camera trap records from different Amazon regions to compile the most extensive data set of inventories of mammal, bird, and reptile species ever assembled for the area. The complete data set comprises 154,123 records of 317 species (185 birds, 119 mammals, and 13 reptiles) gathered from surveys from the Amazonian portion of eight countries (Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela). The most frequently recorded species per taxa were: mammals: Cuniculus paca (11,907 records); birds: Pauxi tuberosa (3713 records); and reptiles: Tupinambis teguixin (716 records). The information detailed in this data paper opens up opportunities for new ecological studies at different spatial and temporal scales, allowing for a more accurate evaluation of the effects of habitat loss, fragmentation, climate change, and other human-mediated defaunation processes in one of the most important and threatened tropical environments in the world. The data set is not copyright restricted; please cite this data paper when using its data in publications and we also request that researchers and educators inform us of how they are using these data

    NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

    No full text
    Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics.
