Pneumotórax espontâneo catamenial: um relato de caso/Spontaneous catamenial pneumothorax: a case report

Pneumotórax catamenial é definido como pneumotórax espontâneo recorrente em mulheres que ocorre durante o período menstrual, sendo que ocorre mais frequentemente no hemitórax direito. Há algumas teorias que tentam elucidar a fisiopatologia dessa doença como a presença de fenestrações diafragmáticas, implantes endometriais torácicos e aumento de prostaglandinas ligadas ao ciclo menstrual. O diagnóstico é essencialmente clínico e a terapêutica pode ser realizada com terapia hormonal ou tratamento cirúrgico. Neste trabalho relata-se um caso de Pneumotórax Catamenial em uma jovem de 14 anos, buscando contribuir para a literatura científica de forma a facilitar o diagnóstico e tratamento dessa patologia

Fostering coastal resilience to climate change vulnerability in Bangladesh, Brazil, Cameroon and Uruguay: a cross-country comparison

© 2017, Springer Science+Business Media B.V. This paper describes a comparative study of four different cases on vulnerability, hazards and adaptive capacity to climate threats in coastal areas and communities in four developing countries: Bangladesh, Brazil, Cameroon and Uruguay. Coastal areas are vulnerable to sea-level rise (SLR), storm surges and flooding due to their (i) exposure, (ii) concentration of settlements, many of which occupied by less advantaged groups and (iii) the concentration of assets and services seen in these areas. The objective of the paper is twofold: (i) to evaluate current evidence of coastal vulnerability and adaptive capacity and (ii) to compare adaptation strategies being implemented in a sample of developing countries, focusing on successful ones. The followed approach for the case evaluation is based on (i) documenting observed threats and damages, (ii) using indicators of physical and socioeconomic vulnerability and adaptive capacity status and (iii) selecting examples of successful responses. Major conclusions based on cross-case comparison are (a) the studied countries show different vulnerability, adaptive capacity and implementation of responses, (b) innovative community-based (CBA) and ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) and (c) early warning systems are key approaches and tools to foster climate resilience. A recommendation to foster the resilience of coastal communities and services is that efforts in innovative adaptation strategies to sea-level rise should be intensified and integrated with climate risk management within the national adaption plans (NAPAs) in order to reduce the impacts of hazards

Influence of water regime on initial growth and essential oil of Eucalyptus globulus

ABSTRACT: Understanding the water requirement of forest species in the seedling stage supports cost reduction by eliminating unnecessary irrigation in addition to providing higher productivity. This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of the water regime on initial growth, leaf production and content and chemical composition of the essential oil of Eucalyptus globulus , during the first 120 days of cultivation. The experiment employed a completely randomized design and was carried out at the Instituto de Ciências Agrárias da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (ICA/UFMG), Montes Claros, MG. Treatments consisted of six different water regimes (50%, 75%, 100%, 125%, 150% and 175% of the reference evapotranspiration - ETo) with four replicates. Plant growth was evaluated by measuring linear dimensions - height, stem diameter and number of leaves. The essential oil was extracted from fresh leaves by hydrodistillation in a Clevenger apparatus. The present study demonstrated that irrigation depths corresponding to 75% of the ETo are responsible for increased growth of E. globulus and increased dry matter production of leaves. The lowest irrigation levels were responsible for the greatest essential oil content. The essential oil was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (CG- MS), and eucalyptol (40.84% to 55.72%) was reported to be the major compound for all treatments. Compounds such as β-myrcene, α-Gurgujeno, Alloromadendreno, Varidiflorene appear under specific irrigation conditions

Facial skin injuries caused by individual protectors in the combat to covid-19

ABSTRACT The single-stranded ribonucleic acid coronavirus is the seventh known member of the Coronaviridae family to infect humans. The droplets and aerosols that are suspended in the air with the virus can be transmitted by contact with the oral, nasal and eye mucosa, which can cause severe acute respiratory syndrome. Due to the outbreak of the new coronavirus disease, the constant use of personal protective equipment by health professionals has become necessary, as the virus has a rapid and widespread spread. But, unexpectedly, the coronavirus outbreak brought another concern, the emergence of facial injuries due to the continuous and inappropriate use of these individual protectors, harming the health of these professionals. An alternative to alleviate and prevent such injuries would be the use of prophylactic creams and dressings in places where there is pressure caused by these equipment, as well as relieving the loads generated by them, at intervals that do not exceed 4 hours. Therefore, this literature review aimed to report the potential for the emergence of facial injuries caused by the continuous and inappropriate use of PPE, highlighting the most affected areas, the risks to the health of the professional, prevention and treatment, through the electronic consultation based on of data, PUBMED, SCOPUS and Bireme/BVS

3D printing applications during COVID-19 pandemic: a literature review

ABSTRACT The fast spread of COVID-19 around the world has generated significant impacts on the way societies lives, one of which is the scarcity of personal protective equipment (PPE) for workers in the front lines of combat against the virus. Sanitary insecurity has led populations and health professionals to a rampant search for protective equipment and other devices necessary for life maintenance, both for patients and professionals, revealing health system limitations during large-scale crisis, as the COVID-19 pandemic. On this paper, we aimed to present the initiatives of professionals and companies related to 3D printing to share programs and resources whose purpose is supplying workers in the front line, who have been important allies in combating the effects caused by coronavirus. A search was performed in four electronic databases: SCOPUS, BVS, EMBASE and MEDLINE via PUBMED. After analyzing the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a table of results was prepared with the main characteristics of the products manufactured and made available, as well as the institutions involved. It was concluded, therefore, that the applications of 3D printing in the initiatives had great contributions to public health and the additive industry during the pandemic period of COVID-19
