Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi - Brinquedos de Muriti

O Museu busca promover o inventário e a avaliação do patrimônio natural e/ou cultural da região amazônica. Atualmente estão instaladas no campus, o Departamento de Botânica, o Departamento de Zoologia, o Centro de Documentação e Informação da Amazônia, o Centro de Processamento de Dados e o Núcleo de Belém do Laboratório Nacional de Computação científica. O Museu realiza atividades científicas, técnicas e culturais em várias áreas de conhecimento humano, fundamentalmente nos campos da Antropologia, Arqueologia, Geografia, História, Lingüística, Botânica, Zoologia e Ciências da Terra. Em outubro de 2014 realizou-se a exposição de Brinquedos de Miriti (palmeira brasileira, também conhecida como Buriti), tradicional da região, produzido por artesãos de Abaetetuba. Os brinquedos traduzem a herança cultural provavelmente iniciada com as brincadeiras das crianças ribeirinhas.O Museu Emílio Goeldi tem sua origem em 6 de outubro de 1866, na cidade de Belém. A sugestão da fundação do Museu em bases realísticas partiu dos deputados da Câmara Provincial, Dr. Joaquim Corrêa de Freitas e José Joaquim de Assis. A concepção da fundação do museu sobrevive, porém, pela decisão e pelo impulso fomentado por Domingos Soares Ferreira Penna com apoio de seus amigos intelectuais interessados nessa questão. Em princípios de 1888, o Governo fecha o museu, sendo reaberto apenas em 1891. No ano de 1894, por decreto do Governo, o museu recebeu uma nova estrutura sob a sábia inspiração do zoólogo Dr. Emilio Augusto Goeldi. O nome fora determinado em homenagem aos cientista que prestara inúmeros serviços ao Brasil, em especial ao Pará, Emílio Goeldi

"Ciência de potes quebrados": nação e região na arqueologia brasileira do século XIX

The paper explores distinct expectations created in different places and institutions with the archaeological discoveries taken place in Brazilian territory in the second half of 19th century. By means of a case study about the professional trajectory of Domingos Soares Ferreira Penna (1818-1888), founder of Museu Paraense in 1866 and traveling naturalist of Brazilian Museu Nacional between 1872 and 1884, the present article reconstructs the origins of scientific debates and disputes over the Amazonian archaeological heritage, in great evidence at that time, due to discoveries of pre-historic sites at Marajó Island, in the State of Pará. The intention is to demonstrate how the discourse about national identity, broadly used by the director of the Brazilian Museu Nacional, Ladislau de Souza Mello Netto (1838-1894), overshadowed political divergence and had little repercussion among Brazilian provinces that were building, at the time, their respective regional identities and historical narratives - to which archaeological evidences were equally fundamental

Effect of lung recruitment and titrated Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) vs low PEEP on mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome - A randomized clinical trial

IMPORTANCE: The effects of recruitment maneuvers and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration on clinical outcomes in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remain uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To determine if lung recruitment associated with PEEP titration according to the best respiratory-system compliance decreases 28-day mortality of patients with moderate to severe ARDS compared with a conventional low-PEEP strategy. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Multicenter, randomized trial conducted at 120 intensive care units (ICUs) from 9 countries from November 17, 2011, through April 25, 2017, enrolling adults with moderate to severe ARDS. INTERVENTIONS: An experimental strategy with a lung recruitment maneuver and PEEP titration according to the best respiratory-system compliance (n = 501; experimental group) or a control strategy of low PEEP (n = 509). All patients received volume-assist control mode until weaning. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: The primary outcome was all-cause mortality until 28 days. Secondary outcomes were length of ICU and hospital stay; ventilator-free days through day 28; pneumothorax requiring drainage within 7 days; barotrauma within 7 days; and ICU, in-hospital, and 6-month mortality. RESULTS: A total of 1010 patients (37.5% female; mean [SD] age, 50.9 [17.4] years) were enrolled and followed up. At 28 days, 277 of 501 patients (55.3%) in the experimental group and 251 of 509 patients (49.3%) in the control group had died (hazard ratio [HR], 1.20; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.42; P = .041). Compared with the control group, the experimental group strategy increased 6-month mortality (65.3% vs 59.9%; HR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.38; P = .04), decreased the number of mean ventilator-free days (5.3 vs 6.4; difference, −1.1; 95% CI, −2.1 to −0.1; P = .03), increased the risk of pneumothorax requiring drainage (3.2% vs 1.2%; difference, 2.0%; 95% CI, 0.0% to 4.0%; P = .03), and the risk of barotrauma (5.6% vs 1.6%; difference, 4.0%; 95% CI, 1.5% to 6.5%; P = .001). There were no significant differences in the length of ICU stay, length of hospital stay, ICU mortality, and in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In patients with moderate to severe ARDS, a strategy with lung recruitment and titrated PEEP compared with low PEEP increased 28-day all-cause mortality. These findings do not support the routine use of lung recruitment maneuver and PEEP titration in these patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION: clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT01374022
