LESÃO CERVICAL PENETRANTE EM ZONA II

SUMMARY: Several vital structures, of both the aerodigestive and vascular systems, are contained in the cervical regions. Cervical lesions have high complexity and high morbidity and mortality. They are more common in young men inserted in a context of violence. The objective of this study was to demonstrate an injury by firearm with transfixation of the trachea, approached by cervicotomy in which was performed a termino-terminal anastomosis of the affected segment. The patient presented satisfactory clinical and surgical outcomes.    RESUMO: Na região cervical encontra-se estruturas vitais para o sistema aerodigestivo e vascular. Lesões cervicais possuem alta complexidade e elevada morbimortalidade. Acomete mais homens jovens inseridos em contexto de violência. O objetivo deste estudo e demonstrar uma lesão com transfixação da traquéia por arma de fogo, abordada por cervicotomia e realizado anastomose termino-terminal de segmento afetado. Paciente apresentou bom desfecho clínico e cirúrgico

Comentários sobre a díade ‘voto ideológico’/‘voto econômico’ nas eleições presidenciais de 2022 no Brasil

This paper has an admittedly exploratory approach, and its object is the motivation to vote in the Brazilian presidential elections in 2022. Guided by the hypothesis that Brazilian competitive democracy is already properly routinized (or in the process of routinization), the arising question is whether the prevailing element to the act of voting of the current and broad Brazilian electorate (about 156 million qualified people) responds rather to economic factors, such as the assessment of the simple cost/benefit ratio, or sociological issues, such as submission to values/ideology. We will project scenarios related to those formulations without prejudice to conciliatory interpretations, with the cautions that academic responsibility requires, and based on real-world data presented by recent research.Este artigo, com assumido veio exploratório, tem como objeto a motivação ao voto nas eleições presidenciais brasileiras em 2022. Orientado pela hipótese de que a democracia competitiva brasileira já se encontra devidamente rotinizada (ou em vias de rotinização), lança-se o questionamento se o elemento prevalecente ao ato de votar do atual e amplo eleitorado brasileiro (cerca de 156 milhões de pessoas habilitadas) responde antes a fatores econômicos, como o cálculo da simples relação custo/benefício, ou a questões de cunho sociológico, como a submissão a valores/ideologia. Com as prudências que a responsabilidade acadêmica requer e tendo por fundamento dados da realidade apresentados por pesquisas recentes, projetar-se-ão cenários respeitantes àquelas formulações, mas sem prejuízo a interpretações conciliatórias.   &nbsp

Crescimento e produtividade do cafeeiro irrigado, em função de diferentes fontes de nitrogênio

Coffee is one of the main agricultural crops and for high production in farming, especially irrigated, large nitrogen (N) contents are used every year, and is fundamental to the study of techniques for the rational use of this element. The objective of this study was to evaluate the vegetative and productive parameters of the coffee according to various sources, doses and forms of application of N in irrigated coffee. The experiment was carried out at the Experimental Field Izidoro Bronzi - ACA, in the city municipality of Araguari, state of Minas Gerais, during the crop 2010/2011, 2011/2012, 2012/2013 and 2013/2014. Fertilizer was applied in treatments with conventional fertilization three split applications (November, January and March all evaluated years) and fertigation, it was used weekly from September of each year, until June of the following year, in doses of 210 and 300 kg ha-1 of N were conducted reviews of biometric aspects, productivity, fruit in 4th and 5th and we of maturation, observing the interference of N fertilization on these aspects were made. The N generates an increase in the production of fertilized treatments compared to control, reaching increases of 151%. Its no possible to establish a coherent relationship with N for other characteristics due to randomness of the data. Agricultural urea to be applied by fertigation demonstrates not be better applied conventionally, but proves to be better than the polymerized urea applied conventionally. The applied ammonium nitrate can be conventionally considered the best source of N when analyzing all the variables together. For fertigation, the use of agricultural urea 300 kg ha-1 increments to provide uniformity in fruit maturation.Na cafeicultura, em lavouras de alta produção, especialmente as irrigadas, grandes teores de nitrogênio (N) são aplicados ao solo, todo ano, sendo fundamental o estudo de técnicas que permitam a utilização racional deste elemento químico na adubação do cafeeiro. Objetivou-se, neste trabalho, avaliar os parâmetros vegetativos e produtivos do cafeeiro em função de diferentes fontes, doses e formas de aplicação do N na cafeicultura irrigada. O experimento foi conduzido no Campo Experimental Izidoro Bronzi – ACA, no município de Araguari – MG, durante as safras 2010/2011, 2011/2012, 2012/2013 e 2013/2014. Aplicaram-se os fertilizantes nos tratamentos com adubação convencional parcelados em três aplicações (novembro, janeiro e março de todos os anos avaliados) e na fertirrigação, a aplicação foi realizada, semanalmente, a partir de setembro de cada ano, até junho do ano subsequente, nas doses de 210 e 300 kg ha-1 de N. Realizaram-se avaliações dos aspectos biométricos, da produtividade, do pegamento de frutos no 4° e 5° nós e da maturação dos frutos, observando a interferência da adubação nitrogenada sobre estes aspectos. O N gera um incremento de, até 151% na produção do cafeeiro submetido aos tratamentos de adubação, quando comparados ao controle (sem adubação). Não é possível estabelecer uma relação coerente com adubação nitrogenada para as demais características biométricas e produtivas da cultura, devido à aleatoriedade dos dados. A ureia agrícola, ao ser aplicada via fertirrigação, não demonstra ser melhor nos parâmetros vegetativos e produtivos do cafeeiro, em relação à aplicada convencionalmente, mas demonstra ser melhor que a ureia polimerizada aplicada, convencionalmente. O nitrato de amônio aplicado convencionalmente pode ser considerado a melhor fonte de N, quando se analisam todas as variáveis conjuntamente. Para a fertirrigação, o uso de ureia agrícola na dose de 300 kg ha-1 proporciona incrementos para a homogeneidade, na maturação dos frutos

Proliferative activity of oocytes in multi-oocyte follicles of bovine ovary

We characterized the proliferative activity of multi-oocyte follicles with anti-nuclear antigen of proliferating cells (PCNA). Ovaries (n = 12) from heifers were processed for histology. From 789 multi-oocytes follicles observed, only 11 were considered appropriated for immunostaining, since they presented all nuclei of the oocytes clearly visible. All multi-oocyte follicles were positive for PCNA, but some oocytes showed no proliferative activity. We conclude that oocytes in multi-oocyte follicles seem to be in different stages of the cell cycle

Photography-based taxonomy is inadequate, unnecessary, and potentially harmful for biological sciences

The question whether taxonomic descriptions naming new animal species without type specimen(s) deposited in collections should be accepted for publication by scientific journals and allowed by the Code has already been discussed in Zootaxa (Dubois & Nemésio 2007; Donegan 2008, 2009; Nemésio 2009a–b; Dubois 2009; Gentile & Snell 2009; Minelli 2009; Cianferoni & Bartolozzi 2016; Amorim et al. 2016). This question was again raised in a letter supported by 35 signatories published in the journal Nature (Pape et al. 2016) on 15 September 2016. On 25 September 2016, the following rebuttal (strictly limited to 300 words as per the editorial rules of Nature) was submitted to Nature, which on 18 October 2016 refused to publish it. As we think this problem is a very important one for zoological taxonomy, this text is published here exactly as submitted to Nature, followed by the list of the 493 taxonomists and collection-based researchers who signed it in the short time span from 20 September to 6 October 2016

Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil: setting the baseline knowledge on the animal diversity in Brazil

The limited temporal completeness and taxonomic accuracy of species lists, made available in a traditional manner in scientific publications, has always represented a problem. These lists are invariably limited to a few taxonomic groups and do not represent up-to-date knowledge of all species and classifications. In this context, the Brazilian megadiverse fauna is no exception, and the Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil (CTFB) (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/), made public in 2015, represents a database on biodiversity anchored on a list of valid and expertly recognized scientific names of animals in Brazil. The CTFB is updated in near real time by a team of more than 800 specialists. By January 1, 2024, the CTFB compiled 133,691 nominal species, with 125,138 that were considered valid. Most of the valid species were arthropods (82.3%, with more than 102,000 species) and chordates (7.69%, with over 11,000 species). These taxa were followed by a cluster composed of Mollusca (3,567 species), Platyhelminthes (2,292 species), Annelida (1,833 species), and Nematoda (1,447 species). All remaining groups had less than 1,000 species reported in Brazil, with Cnidaria (831 species), Porifera (628 species), Rotifera (606 species), and Bryozoa (520 species) representing those with more than 500 species. Analysis of the CTFB database can facilitate and direct efforts towards the discovery of new species in Brazil, but it is also fundamental in providing the best available list of valid nominal species to users, including those in science, health, conservation efforts, and any initiative involving animals. The importance of the CTFB is evidenced by the elevated number of citations in the scientific literature in diverse areas of biology, law, anthropology, education, forensic science, and veterinary science, among others
