    Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between pain intensity and the level of depression in patients with chronic temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Materials and methods: Fifty-five volunteers diagnosed by the Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC/TMD) were assessed for pain intensity and level of depression. Pain intensity and level of depression were assessed using a visual analysis scale and Beck depression inventory, respectively. Data analysis was conducted using confidence intervals and Pearson’s chi-square test (p< 0.05). Results: The results demonstrated that non-depressed individuals (43.6%) showed a mean pain intensity of 28.27mm, those with mild depression (38.2%) 34.24mm, and those moderate depression (18.2%) 50.7mm. Statistical analysis showed that there was a positive and significant correlation between pain intensity and level of depression (p=0.004). Discussion: This study found a positive correlation between pain intensity and depression level in chronic TMD patients. However, it has not been elucidated yet how TMD are correlated to depression and in which way depression can influence its onset and perpetuation. Conclusion: The level of depression may play an important role in the intensity of chronic pain, therefore, a multidisciplinary intervention seems to be important for the treatment success.Objetivo: Este estudo objetivou avaliar a correlação entre a intensidade da dor e o nível de depressão em pacientes com disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) crônica.

    The article is a narrative review of the scientific literature, with a qualitative approach and based on secondary data, which aims to explore the different aspects related to humanization in the neonatal Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to make its understanding feasible. Thus, understanding the importance of the role played by humanization within the neonatal ICU concerns the most pressing health issues. Therefore, this review points out that humanization in the neonatal ICU not only brings emotional comfort, but can also positively influence the clinical results and the experience of everyone involved in this critical phase of newborns' lives.O artigo se trata de uma revisão narrativa da literatura científica, de abordagem qualitativa e embasada em dados secundários, originados das bases SCIELO e PubMed e que pretende explorar os diferentes aspectos relacionados à humanização na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) neonatal para tornar factível sua compreensão, potencialidades e obstáculos. Assim, o entendimento relativo à importância do papel desempenhado pela humanização no âmbito da UTI neonatal diz respeito às questões de saúde mais rotundas. Desse modo, a presente revisão aponta que a humanização na UTI neonatal não apenas traz conforto emocional, mas também pode influenciar positivamente os resultados clínicos e a experiência de todos os envolvidos nessa fase crítica da vida dos recém-nascidos

    ASSISTÊNCIA DE ENFERMAGEM AO PACIENTE GRANDE QUEIMADO: UM ESTUDO DE REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA

    O estudo tem como objetivo descrever a assistência realizada pelos profissionais de enfermagem frente ao paciente grande queimado. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura do tipo integrativa, realizada entre o período de 10 de novembro a 28 de dezembro de 2023 nas bases de dados LILACS, Periódico CAPES, e SCIELO, utilizando os descritores “Unidades de Queimados” AND “Enfermagem”, “Enfermagem” AND “Queimaduras”, registrados nos Descritores em Ciências da Saúde. Os critérios de inclusão foram os artigos originais na íntegra disponíveis nas bases de dados indexadas, escritos em língua portuguesa, e que foram publicados recentemente nos últimos seis anos, entre o período de 2018 a 2023. Inicialmente foram encontrados 66 estudos no LILACS, 40 no CAPES e 14 artigos no SCIELO. Após a análise, leitura dos estudos e aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram selecionados um quantitativo de 7 artigos para compor a revisão integrativa, visto que esses abrangeram a temática proposta. Os estudos selecionados nas bases indexadas foram expostos em um quadro de dados contendo as seguintes informações: título, autor, ano, objetivo, metodologia do estudo e base de dados. Foi possível observar que os profissionais de enfermagem são imprescindíveis frente aos casos de queimaduras, visto que realizam uma assistência humanizada e eficaz, com a adoção de condutas que reduzem a dor e o sofrimento do paciente. Além disso, estes profissionais realizam condutas iniciais de estabilização da vítima, curativos das lesões, administração de analgésicos e antibióticos, e estratégias por meio da tecnologia leve, como o dialógo, incentivo e esclarecimento de dúvidas aos familiares e ao paciente.O estudo tem como objetivo descrever a assistência realizada pelos profissionais de enfermagem frente ao paciente grande queimado.

    Genomic epidemiology unveils the dynamics and spatial corridor behind the Yellow Fever virus outbreak in Southern Brazil

    Despite the considerable morbidity and mortality of yellow fever virus (YFV) infections in Brazil, our understanding of disease outbreaks is hampered by limited viral genomic data. Here, through a combination of phylogenetic and epidemiological models, we reconstructed the recent transmission history of YFV within different epidemic seasons in Brazil. A suitability index based on the highly domesticated Aedes aegypti was able to capture the seasonality of reported human infections. Spatial modeling revealed spatial hotspots with both past reporting and low vaccination coverage, which coincided with many of the largest urban centers in the Southeast. Phylodynamic analysis unraveled the circulation of three distinct lineages and provided proof of the directionality of a known spatial corridor that connects the endemic North with the extra-Amazonian basin. This study illustrates that genomics linked with eco-epidemiology can provide new insights into the landscape of YFV transmission, augmenting traditional approaches to infectious disease surveillance and control

    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
