TERAPIA FOTODINÂMICA PARA O TRATAMENTO DA PERIIMPLANTITE

Peri-implantitis has been described as a pathological change in the tissue surrounding the dental implants, being the microbiota one of the main etiological condition and it’s the most focused in this review. One alternative therapy to the conventional treatment of peri-implantitis is the antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), that has features as bioestimulation, inflammation modulation, analgesia and bactericidal. This literature review’s objectives are to analyze and compare the treatments that embraces aPDT This review includes treatments studies with and without surgical debridement and associated with medicines. This reviews goal is to point out, through scientifical findings, the treatment that have provided most scientifical evidences of effectiveness in the treatment of peri-implantitis. It was included articles found through bank data from Medline, Lilacs, Scielo and Google Scholar that included the following keywords: Peri-implantitis, Photodynamic Therapy, Laser Therapy. All articles analysed during this review are clinical studies to compare the results. Although the treatment’s parameters of peri-implantitis aren’t completely defined, studies suggests that the treatment that provided better results in this situation was the aPDT with surgical debridementA peri-implantite vem sendo descrita como uma alteração patológica nos tecidos ao redor dos implantes dentários, sendo a microbiota um dos principais fatores etiológicos, e é o mais focado no caso dessa revisão. Uma terapia alternativa ao tratamento convencional da peri-implantite é a Terapia Fotodinâmica Antimicrobiana (TFA), que possui características específicas. Os lasers de baixa potência utilizados na TFA possuem propriedades como bioestimulação, modulação da inflamação, analgesia e bactericida. Essa revisão de literatura teve como objetivo analisar e comparar os tratamentos para a peri-implantite que envolvem a TFA. Inclui-se nessa revisão de literatura estudos que compararam a TFA com e sem debridamento cirúrgico e uso de medicamentos associados, apontando por meio de achados científicos, o método que mais se apresentou eficaz no tratamento da peri-implantite. Foram utilizados artigos encontrados através dos bancos de dados Medline, Lilacs, Scielo e Google Acadêmico, por meio dos termos Peri-Implantite; Terapia Fotodinâmica e Terapia a Laser. Todos os artigos analisados durante a revisão são de estudos clínicos para a comparação dos resultados. Embora os parâmetros para o tratamento da peri-implantite não estejam completamente definidos, os estudos analisados sugerem que o tratamento que apresentou melhores resultados nesse quesito, foi o de TFA com debridamento cirúrgico, no entanto, sem melhoras significativas em relação ao tratamento convencional

COVID-19 symptoms at hospital admission vary with age and sex: results from the ISARIC prospective multinational observational study

Background: The ISARIC prospective multinational observational study is the largest cohort of hospitalized patients with COVID-19. We present relationships of age, sex, and nationality to presenting symptoms. Methods: International, prospective observational study of 60 109 hospitalized symptomatic patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 recruited from 43 countries between 30 January and 3 August 2020. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate relationships of age and sex to published COVID-19 case definitions and the most commonly reported symptoms. Results: ‘Typical’ symptoms of fever (69%), cough (68%) and shortness of breath (66%) were the most commonly reported. 92% of patients experienced at least one of these. Prevalence of typical symptoms was greatest in 30- to 60-year-olds (respectively 80, 79, 69%; at least one 95%). They were reported less frequently in children (≤ 18 years: 69, 48, 23; 85%), older adults (≥ 70 years: 61, 62, 65; 90%), and women (66, 66, 64; 90%; vs. men 71, 70, 67; 93%, each P < 0.001). The most common atypical presentations under 60 years of age were nausea and vomiting and abdominal pain, and over 60 years was confusion. Regression models showed significant differences in symptoms with sex, age and country. Interpretation: This international collaboration has allowed us to report reliable symptom data from the largest cohort of patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19. Adults over 60 and children admitted to hospital with COVID-19 are less likely to present with typical symptoms. Nausea and vomiting are common atypical presentations under 30 years. Confusion is a frequent atypical presentation of COVID-19 in adults over 60 years. Women are less likely to experience typical symptoms than men

Lavori atipici ed economia digitale - Prospettiva luso-italo-brasiliana. Contratos atípicos de emprego e economia digital - Perspectiva luso-ítalo-brasileira

Il seminario “Lavori atipici ed economia digitale - Prospettiva luso-italo-brasiliana”, svolto il 28 aprile 2022, presso l'Università La Sapienza di Roma, ha avuto come obiettivo riunire studenti, ricercatori e docenti per confrontarsi su temi legati ai profondi cambiamenti subiti dal mercato del lavoro, presso un momento in cui l'economia globale non riesce a generare sufficienti posti di lavoro. Tra i cambiamenti analizzati durante il seminario si può citare, tra gli altri, la crescita di forme di occupazione diverse dai modelli tradizionalmente utilizzati. Si osserva che le cosiddette “forme atipici di lavoro” possono servire a finalità specifiche, come situazioni di lavoro stagionale, ma possono anche essere utilizzate per regolare nuove attività e forme di occupazione, derivanti dall'evoluzione della società nel nostro tempo. Quest’opera contiene studi relativi al lavoro su piattaforma digitale, contratti a tempo determinato, lavoro temporaneo, somministrazione, telelavoro o smart working, lavoro intermittente, lavoro part-time, tra le altre forme di contratti atipici. In questo modo gli organizzatori, l’università Sapienza di Roma, l’Università Lusófona e l’Instituto Iberoamericano de Estudos Juridícos – IBEROJUR, invitano la comunità accademica, formata da giuristi e non giuristi, giovani ricercatori e professori, a leggere questo libro, che presenta riflessioni critiche degli autori sulle sfide del mondo del lavoro, in una prospettiva globalizzata

Córdoba, 28 y 29 de junio de 2018

Actas del X Seminario Internacional de Investigación en UrbanismoEl seminario tiene como objetivo facilitar una instancia de reflexión compartida sobre las investigaciones en el campo del urbanismo y generar un intercambio entre investigadores sobre los fenómenos de la urbanización y la transformación urbana y territorial en distintos países iberoamericanos. Se propone analizar las características de los procesos de transformación del territorio y los factores que los explican, en relación con las estrategias de planificación, proyecto y renovación sostenible destinadas a ciudades y regiones. Se pretende integrar diferentes escalas y perspectivas de análisis, propias del planeamiento y la gestión urbana, metropolitana y regional, del diseño urbano y arquitectónico; de la geografía y la sociología urbanas, que habitualmente se examinan aisladamente en distintos foros. En el marco de este encuentro, y en conmemoración del primer centenario de la Reforma Universitaria iniciada en Córdoba –movimiento estudiantil que sienta las bases del actual sistema universitario nacional-se cree propicia la ocasión para reflexionar además sobre la relación entre ciudad y universidad, sobre ciudades universitarias, sobre la contribución desde la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba y del resto de las universidades latinoamericanas al urbanismo de nuestras ciudades

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

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. Please cite this data paper when using the data in publications. We also request that researchers and teachers inform us on how they are using the 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

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

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. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data
