Diferentes "estilos" ou "personalidades" científicas: um estudo de caso

Dentro da história da ciencia é possível encontrar exemplos de diferentes "estilos" ou "personahdades" científicas. Estudiosos que vivem em urna mesma época mmtas vezes reagem de modos completamente diferentes -algumas vezes antagónicos- ao trabalho científico em geral (hipóteses, teorías ou experimentos), sejam eles feítos por eles mesmos ou por seus colegas. As razões apostas caracterizam os casos limite. Entretanto, nem sempre aparece um contraste Uio claro, existindo várias nuances entre os extremos N este trabalho descreveremos u m exemplo histórico de um caso limite, analisando as atitudes de dais dentistas que contribuíram para o desenvolvimento da chamada genética clássica o estilo rigoroso de William Bateson (1861-1926) e o estilo prático de Thomas Hunt Morgan (l866-1945)

FMI 5000: Um projecto sobre mudanças ambientais holocénicas

FMI 5000. A project on the environmental changes during the holocene.This paper presents the aims, the proposed methodology and the cases to be studied within the FMI 5000 – Environmental Changes: Fluvio‑marine interactions over the last 5000 years (Project FCT nº: PTDC/CTE‑GIX/104035/2008). The estuarine environments are sensitive areas in the climate change and sea level rise framework, as they are in the interface between fluvial and marine dynamics. They are also strategic areas because of their great biodiversity and the various economic activities they support. These environments record the sea level changes as well as the changes in their drainage basin, whether they are natural or man induced. The goal of the project is to evaluate the balance between marine and fluvial influences, the answers to climatic events and the land use changes impacts, in a 5000 years’ time window. The estuaries of Rio Neiva, of Rio Alcabrichel and of Ribeira de Bensafrim were chosen to develop this research; the first two are located on the western coast and the third one in the Algarve southern coast

Thrombus aspiration in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction: results of a national registry of interventional cardiology.

BACKGROUND: We aimed to evaluate the impact of thrombus aspiration (TA) during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (P-PCI) in 'real-world' settings. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study, using data from the National Registry of Interventional Cardiology (RNCI 2006-2012, Portugal) with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients treated with P-PCI. The primary outcome, in-hospital mortality, was analysed through adjusted odds ratio (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). RESULTS: We assessed data for 9458 STEMI patients that undergone P-PCI (35% treated with TA). The risk of in-hospital mortality with TA (aOR 0.93, 95%CI:0.54-1.60) was not significantly decreased. After matching patients through the propensity score, TA reduced significantly the risk of in-hospital mortality (OR 0.58, 95%CI:0.35-0.98; 3500 patients). CONCLUSIONS: The whole cohort data does not support the routine use of TA in P-PCI, but the results of the propensity-score matched cohort suggests that the use of selective TA may improve the short-term risks of STEMI.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Lamarck, Darwin e o conceito de espécie

No início do século XIX, quando Jean Pierre Antaine de Monet, Chevalier de Lamarck (1744- 1829) apresentou suas idéías sobre evoluçao organica, a maioria dos naturalistas acreditava que as espécies eram fixas. Assim, de um modo geral, aceitava-se a concepçao aristotélica de que as espécies apresentavam uma forma potencial que nao pode ser modificada e que passava de pais para filhos. Georges Lépold Chrétien Frédéric Dagobert, Baron de Cuvier (1769-1832), coetaneo de Lamarck, admitía que as espécies eram fixas e estavam sujeitas a extinçao, seudo entiío produzidas novas espécies. Nesses casos, as espécies já surgiam adaptadas ao meio ambiente

El desarrollo del pensamiento evolutivo de Thomas Hunt Morgan: 1903-1916

El objetivo de este articulo es analizar si hubo cambios significativos en el pensamiento evolutivo de Morgan entre 1903 y 1916. El punto de partida de este análisis son los estudios iniciales de este científico sobre regeneración y embriología, además de los libros mencionados. Cabe resaltar que el período que analizaremos en este trabajo se caracterizó justamente por estar conformado por una serie de experimentos en el campo científico cuya finalidad era someter a prueba la selección natural

Skin and Systemic Manifestations of Jellyfish Stings in Iraqi Fishermen

Background: Jellyfish stings are common worldwide with an estimated 150 million cases annually, and their stings cause a wide range of clinical manifestations from skin inflammation to cardiovascular and respiratory collapse. No studies on jellyfish stings have been carried out in Basra, Iraq. Objectives: To describe the immediate and delayed skin reactions to White Jellyfish (Rhizostoma sp.) stings and the types of local treatment used by fishermen. Methods and Materials: 150 fishermen were enrolled at three Marine stations in Basra, Iraq. Demographic data, types of skin reactions, systemic manifestations and kinds of treatments were collected. Results: Overall, 79% of fishermen in all three Marine stations gave a history of having been stung. The common sites of sings were the hands and arms followed by the legs. Most fishermen claimed that stings led to skin reactions within 5 minutes. The presenting complaints were itching, burning sensation, and erythematic wheals. A few days after the sting, new groups of painless and itchy erythematous monomorphic papular rashes developed at the site of the sting in 62% of cases as a delayed type of skin reaction that resolved spontaneously. The local remedies commonly used by the fishermen were seawater, tap water and ice. A few fishermen considered stings as insignificant and did not think there was a need to seek medical help. Conclusions: We conclude that jellyfish causes many stings among fishermen in the Basra region. Their stings lead to immediate and delayed skin reactions. Self-treatment by topical remedies is common
