Manejo Terapêutico do Paciente Queimado: Revisão de Literatura

Burns are traumatic wounds resulting from thermal, chemical, electrical or radioactive agents that compromise vital skin functions. In Brazil, they constitute one of the main external causes of death, alongside transport accidents and homicides. An integrative review was carried out, using the Google Scholar database with the following descriptors “Burn”, “Pain Management”, “Therapeutic Indication”. In which 8 articles were selected from 1,710, published in English and Portuguese from 2019 to 2024. The main author conducted the analysis, with disagreements resolved between the authors. WHO estimates indicate 300,000 annual deaths from burns globally. In Brazil, one million people suffer burns annually, with young adults being the most vulnerable, mainly in domestic or work environments. The classification of burns, extent of the affected area and treatment are fundamental for the best therapeutic management, given that pain is a prevalent complaint that is difficult to control in these patients. Protocols vary, and wound care, hydration, and pain management are challenges. Different therapies, including agents such as silver sulfadiazine and essential fatty acids, show promising results. Surgical treatment aims to remove compromised tissues, contributing to effective healing. The study reinforces the importance of medical knowledge in the management of burns and its relevance to public health.As queimaduras são feridas traumáticas resultantes de agentes térmicos, químicos, elétricos ou radioativos que comprometem funções vitais tanto da pele, como dos demais órgãos internos. No Brasil, constituem uma das principais causas externas de morte, disputando com acidentes de transporte e homicídios. Realizou-se uma revisão integrativa, utilizando a base de dados Google Acadêmico com os seguintes descritores “Queimadura”, “Manejo da Dor”, “Indicação Terapêutica”. Nos quais foram selecionados 8 artigos entre 1.710, publicados em inglês e português de 2019 a 2024. O autor principal conduziu a análise, com discordâncias resolvidas entre os autores. Estimativas da OMS indicam 300 mil mortes anuais por queimaduras globalmente. No Brasil, um milhão de pessoas anualmente sofrem queimaduras, sendo adultos jovens mais vulneráveis, principalmente em ambientes domésticos ou laborais. A classificação das queimaduras, extensão da área afetada e o tratamento são fundamentais para o melhor manejo terapêutico, haja vista que a dor é uma queixa prevalente e de difícil controle nesses pacientes. Protocolos variam, e o cuidado da ferida, hidratação e manejo da dor são desafios. Diferentes terapias, incluindo agentes como sulfadiazina de prata e ácidos graxos essenciais, apresentam resultados promissores. O tratamento cirúrgico visa a remoção de tecidos comprometidos, contribuindo para a cicatrização eficaz. O estudo reforça a importância do conhecimento médico na abordagem de queimaduras e sua relevância para a saúde pública

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.
