Sentimentos despertados nas mulheres frente ao diagnóstico de câncer de mama

Objetivo: identificar os sentimentos despertados nas mulheres frente ao diagnóstico de câncer de mama. Método: trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, realizado no ambulatório de oncologia de um hospital universitário, com 11 mulheres diagnosticadas com câncer de mama e idade entre 43 e 58 anos. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevista semiestruturada, de maio a julho de 2015. Os dados foram analisados e interpretados conforme a análise de conteúdo. Resultados: após a análise emergiram três categorias: o impacto do diagnóstico; a vivência prévia da doença, o autoconhecimento e sua aceitação; esperança embasada na fé em Deus. Considerações Finais: a maioria das mulheres demonstraram-se extremamente sensibilizadas com o diagnóstico de câncer de mama e aflitas diante da incerteza da morte; outras, por já terem vivenciado a doença em um ente próximo, sentiram-se mais fortes e reagiram melhor ao diagnóstico

Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil: setting the baseline knowledge on the animal diversity in Brazil

The limited temporal completeness and taxonomic accuracy of species lists, made available in a traditional manner in scientific publications, has always represented a problem. These lists are invariably limited to a few taxonomic groups and do not represent up-to-date knowledge of all species and classifications. In this context, the Brazilian megadiverse fauna is no exception, and the Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil (CTFB) (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/), made public in 2015, represents a database on biodiversity anchored on a list of valid and expertly recognized scientific names of animals in Brazil. The CTFB is updated in near real time by a team of more than 800 specialists. By January 1, 2024, the CTFB compiled 133,691 nominal species, with 125,138 that were considered valid. Most of the valid species were arthropods (82.3%, with more than 102,000 species) and chordates (7.69%, with over 11,000 species). These taxa were followed by a cluster composed of Mollusca (3,567 species), Platyhelminthes (2,292 species), Annelida (1,833 species), and Nematoda (1,447 species). All remaining groups had less than 1,000 species reported in Brazil, with Cnidaria (831 species), Porifera (628 species), Rotifera (606 species), and Bryozoa (520 species) representing those with more than 500 species. Analysis of the CTFB database can facilitate and direct efforts towards the discovery of new species in Brazil, but it is also fundamental in providing the best available list of valid nominal species to users, including those in science, health, conservation efforts, and any initiative involving animals. The importance of the CTFB is evidenced by the elevated number of citations in the scientific literature in diverse areas of biology, law, anthropology, education, forensic science, and veterinary science, among others

Family facing breast cancer diagnosis under the woman’s viewpoint

Objective: The study’s goal has been to gain further understanding about the role and perception of the family before the diagnosis of breast cancer under the woman’s viewpoint. Methods: It is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach, which was carried out in the oncology clinic from a university hospital. The study has had 11 participating women that were diagnosed bearing breast cancer and also within the age group from 43 to 58 years old. Data collection was performed through semi-structured interviews in the period from May to July 2015. The data were analyzed and interpreted according to content analysis. Results: After the analysis three categories emerged, as follows: the breast cancer diagnosis impact; companion in the diagnosis; the family as the principal support source. Conclusion: Considering the woman’s viewpoint, the cancer appearance had great impact to her family, and also provoked countless feelings. Nonetheless, the family involvement provided proved to be a source of support and comfort from the follow-up to receiving the diagnosis. Descriptors: Women’s health, breast neoplasms, diagnosis, family.Objetivo: Compreender o papel e a percepção da família diante do diagnóstico de câncer de mama sob o olhar da mulher.

Prevalence and factors associated with syphilis in a Reference Center

Abstract INTRODUCTION: The implementation of the rapid test (RT) for syphilis increases access of vulnerable populations to early diagnosis and treatment, impacting the outcomes of infection. We aimed to assess the prevalence of and factors associated with syphilis in a Center for Testing and Counseling (CTC). METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study at a Reference Center for sexually transmitted disease (STD) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome in Londrina, Northern Paraná State, Southern Brazil. Data regarding the 5,509 individuals who underwent RT from June 2012 to December 2014 were collected from patient records and the CTC Information System and served as the basis to check associations of syphilis cases (346) and cases without syphilis (5,163). Nine patients’ records were not found. OpenEpi was used to perform a prevalence analysis and determine odds ratios to assess the associations between sociodemographic and behavioral variables (independent variables) and cases of syphilis (dependent variable). An alpha value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: The prevalence of syphilis was 6.3%; higher in males (7.5%) than in females (4.3%, p <0.001). Syphilis was associated with an age of 25-34 years, little education, and single marital status. The main associated behavioral factors were men who have sex with men, drug users, STD patients, and those presenting with an STD in the last year. The use of alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, and crack was significantly associated with syphilis. CONCLUSIONS: Strategies for prevention and control of syphilis should be intensified, especially in populations identified as most vulnerable

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.
