Description des captures au filet tramail sur le cours supérieur du Sinnamary (Guyane Française)

Le Sinnamary est un fleuve de Guyane Française, de moyenne importance (6565 km2). Il peut être divisé en trois zones : l'estuaire, le cours inférieur et le cours supérieur. Une série de pêches expérimentales a été réalisée dans le cours supérieur de ce fleuve, à l'aide de filets tramails de maille comprise entre 10 et 65 mm. La sélectivité des filets utilisés s'est avérée très forte, et la composition des captures fort différente selon la taille de la maille. Quatre espèces représentent 68% des prises #(Leporinus friderici, Curimata cyprinoides, Triporteus rotundadus, Myleus ternetzy)$ et l'analyse des captures montre que le nombre d'individus capturés par unité d'effort est supérieur en saison des pluies. L'origine de ces variations saisonnières de captures est discutée. (Résumé d'auteur

Zonation longitudinale du peuplement ichtyque du fleuve Sinnamary (Guyane Française)

Le Sinnamary est un fleuve de moyenne importance (bassin de 6565 km2) de la Guyane Française. A l'aide de divers critères d'ordre géologique, pédologique, hydrologique et phytosociologique, nous avons pu diviser le fleuve en 3 zones distinctes : la partie haute, le cours inférieur et l'estuaire. Un important effort d'échantillonnage, réparti dans le temps et mettant en jeu plusieurs techniques de pêche, a été consenti dans chacune de ces 3 zones. A l'aide de ce travail, le peuplement ichtyologique a pu être décrit : il s'avère très différent, tant du point de vue de la richesse spécifique, que dans sa composition, entre les différentes zones.

Rythmes saisonniers de la croissance chez quelques Téléostéens de Guyane française

Des études squeletto-chronologiques de diverses espèces de Guyane française, #Arius couma, #A. proops, et #A. parkeri (#Siluriformes, #Arridae), #Leporinus friderici (#Characiformes, #Anostomidae) et #Myleus rhomboidalis (#Characiformes, #Serrasalmidae), permettent de proposer quelques hypothèses sur les modalités de leur croissance dans le milieu naturel, notamment dans le fleuve Sinnamary. Toutes semblent présenter, chaque année, deux phases de croissance active séparées par des périodes de ralentissement correspondant respectivement aux saisons humides et aux saisons sèches. C'est très probablement la disponibilité en nourriture, abondante en saison des pluies, qui règle les performances de croissance. A partir de l'hypothèse de deux cycles de croissance annuels, des courbes de croissance sont proposées pour chaque espèce. (Résumé d'auteur

La truite commune (Salmo trutta L.) dans le Redon, un petit affluent du lac Léman : caractéristiques des géniteurs de truite de lac (1983-1988) et premières données sur l'impact des relâchers d'alevins nourris

L'étude précise les caractéristiques (âge, croissance) des géniteurs de truite de lac échantillonnés cinq années consécutives sur le Redon, un petit affluent (10 km) du lac Léman (58.240 ha). Les jeunes géniteurs de 2 ou 3 ans représentent 73 % des mâles contre seulement 33 % des femelles. L'examen des écailles montre l'existence de 1 (type 1 : 56 %), 2 (type 2 : 43%) ou 3 ans (type 3 :1 %) de croissance initiale lente "type rivière". La longueur totale rétromesurée à 1 an est significativement plus élevée (129 mm) pour les géniteurs de type 1 que celle (100 mm) des géniteurs de type 2. Un lot de 6.000 alevins, nourris en pisciculture jusqu'à 4 cm, issus de géniteurs de truite de lac et marqués, a été déversé en août 1983 dans la partie aval du Redon. Les géniteurs de truites de lac issus de ce petit lot représentaient une part importante (46 % des femelles et 22 % des mâles) de la cohorte d'adultes correspondante remontant frayer dans le Redon

GENERALIZED URTICARIA AS A VASCULITIC MANIFESTATION IN A PATIENT WITH SARS-CoV-2 INFECTION: A CASE REPORT IN COLOMBIA

Skin manifestations have been reported in up to 20% of cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection, including morbilliform rash (22%), pernio-like acral lesions (18%), urticaria (16%), and macular erythema (13%). It is believed that in the case of SARS-CoV-2 infection, the mechanism involved is an inflammatory response that generates immune dysregulation, vascular congestion, vasculitis, vascular thrombosis, or neoangiogenesis. This case study, present the case of a patient with no previous history of urticarial reactions, autoimmune diseases, or exposure to medications who develops generalized urticaria lasting more than 24 hours and who was diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection by RT-PCR with a nasopharyngeal swab. We suggest in this patient vasculitic urticaria as a manifestation of SARS-CoV-2 infection

Concentração de fluoreto em arroz, feijão e alimentos infantis industrializados

OBJETIVO: Determinar a concentração de fluoreto na refeição brasileira típica (arroz e feijão) e em alimentos infantis industrializados e estimar suas contribuições para fluorose dental. MÉTODOS: Os alimentos foram adquiridos de supermercados das cidades de Piracicaba e Campinas, SP, Brasil. Os alimentos infantis industrializados foram comprados em 2001 e o arroz e feijão em 2003, e imediatamente analisados. Foram analisadas três marcas de arroz, três de feijão e 36 amostras de alimentos infantis divididos em cinco grupos: prontos para o consumo; mingaus; alimentos formulados; leites em pó e outros alimentos. No arroz e feijão, foram determinadas as concentrações de fluoreto nas sementes "in natura" e após cozimento com água destilada ou fluoretada (0,7 ppm). Todas as análises de fluoreto foram feitas com eletrodo específico. Considerou-se 0,07 mg/kg/dia como a dose limite de exposição a fluoreto para risco de fluorose. RESULTADOS: A concentração de fluoreto encontrada nos grãos de arroz e feijão foi baixa. Porém, a concentração aumentou 100-200 vezes após cozimento em água fluoretada e mesmo assim, foi menor que a encontrada em alguns alimentos industrializados. Uma refeição com arroz e feijão preparada com água fluoretada seria responsável por 29% da dose limite de ingestão de fluoreto em termos de fluorose aceitável; a contribuição de alguns alimentos industrializados atingiria 45%. CONCLUSÕES: A alimentação típica brasileira, mesmo preparada com água fluoretada, é mais segura em termos de risco de fluorose dental que alguns alimentos infantis industrializados

Reanalysis of existing genomic data has shown to increase diagnostic yield, although there are few systematic and comprehensive reanalysis efforts that enable collaborative interpretation and future reinterpretation. The Undiagnosed Rare Disease Program of Catalonia project collated previously inconclusive good quality genomic data (panels, exomes, and genomes) and standardized phenotypic profiles from 323 families (543 individuals) with a neurologic rare disease. The data were reanalyzed systematically to identify relatedness, runs of homozygosity, consanguinity, single-nucleotide variants, insertions and deletions, and copy number variants. Data were shared and collaboratively interpreted within the consortium through a customized Genome-Phenome Analysis Platform, which also enables future data reinterpretation. Reanalysis of existing genomic data provided a diagnosis for 20.7% of the patients, including 1.8% diagnosed after the generation of additional genomic data to identify a second pathogenic heterozygous variant. Diagnostic rate was significantly higher for family-based exome/genome reanalysis compared with singleton panels. Most new diagnoses were attributable to recent gene-disease associations (50.8%), additional or improved bioinformatic analysis (19.7%), and standardized phenotyping data integrated within the Undiagnosed Rare Disease Program of Catalonia Genome-Phenome Analysis Platform functionalities (18%)

Global patient outcomes after elective surgery: prospective cohort study in 27 low-, middle- and high-income countries.

BACKGROUND: As global initiatives increase patient access to surgical treatments, there remains a need to understand the adverse effects of surgery and define appropriate levels of perioperative care. METHODS: We designed a prospective international 7-day cohort study of outcomes following elective adult inpatient surgery in 27 countries. The primary outcome was in-hospital complications. Secondary outcomes were death following a complication (failure to rescue) and death in hospital. Process measures were admission to critical care immediately after surgery or to treat a complication and duration of hospital stay. A single definition of critical care was used for all countries. RESULTS: A total of 474 hospitals in 19 high-, 7 middle- and 1 low-income country were included in the primary analysis. Data included 44 814 patients with a median hospital stay of 4 (range 2-7) days. A total of 7508 patients (16.8%) developed one or more postoperative complication and 207 died (0.5%). The overall mortality among patients who developed complications was 2.8%. Mortality following complications ranged from 2.4% for pulmonary embolism to 43.9% for cardiac arrest. A total of 4360 (9.7%) patients were admitted to a critical care unit as routine immediately after surgery, of whom 2198 (50.4%) developed a complication, with 105 (2.4%) deaths. A total of 1233 patients (16.4%) were admitted to a critical care unit to treat complications, with 119 (9.7%) deaths. Despite lower baseline risk, outcomes were similar in low- and middle-income compared with high-income countries. CONCLUSIONS: Poor patient outcomes are common after inpatient surgery. Global initiatives to increase access to surgical treatments should also address the need for safe perioperative care. STUDY REGISTRATION: ISRCTN5181700
